The Jingbirok a memoir of imjin war

i know lee monghak used my name

he used the chief state councilor's name too?

yes i heard from the temporary officials

you and the chief state councilor's names were mentioned in the chosa

if the people after you find out about this...

we'll end up like kim deokryeong?

sir

stop causing a commotion

let's go to his majesty

we're involved with the righteous troops leaders so he should kill us too

do you want another imprisonment incident?

minister...

stop it

his majesty is going to stop here

is this true?

yes

but there was nothing i could do about kim deokryeong

he has to sacrifice him?

how can you say he stopped?

killing kim deokryeong is the same as accusing all the righteous troops leaders!

are you saying everyone involved should be killed if they cant all be spared?

even you and the minister of war?

i have ill feelings toward you but the war isnt over yet

i wont see this country fall on its own with another internal incident!

councilor do as he says

yes please

is this the only way...

year 1596

stop

confess to your crimes now

fine

really?

i deserve to die ten thousand times!

i picked up a sword before i mourned for

my mother's death for 3 years but i didnt acomplish my merit

i was an undutiful son

how can i expect to live?

but the righteous troops soldiers who followed me didnt do anything wrong so dont kill them

ask his majesty to allow them to fight for our country

general...

general!

general general

in 1596 kim deokryeong died during a cruel interrogation for plotting a rebellion

he was only 30 years old

gwak jaeu was released,but he built mangu -jeong in his hometown and lived in seclusion

the activities of the righteous troops cowered

lee deokhyeong stepped down from his position as minister of war

still seonjo's distrust for the righteous troops and heroes who drove away the wae army deepened

busanpo japanese army camps

im sure shen weijing told you to withdraw the army

why arent you doing so? -Yang Fangheng(Deputy envoy of ming)-

withdraw the army?

says who?

shen weijing and konishi yukinaga...

konishi yukinaga? who is that?!

is it the name of someone's puppy?

-Li Zongcheong(Main envoy of ming)

koichi who is konishi yukinaga?

you know konishi

oh konishi! where is he?

he went to the retired regent to report a envoy will be arriving to appoint him as king

is that so?

listen!

i dont know what konishi and shen weijing told you

but i will not take one step from joseon until an order comes from the retired regent

and you...

dont tell me what to do dont order me around!

i'm a tender man,but my sword can be really violent!

Kyoto

genso has to convice saisho jotai

konishi!

how did it go?

saisho went to osaka to hold ancestral rites for O-mandokoro (Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mother)

osaka?

darn! at a time like this?

what can we do?

we'll have to wait for another chance

then what will you say when you meet the retired regent tomorrow?

i'll have to report that an envoy is coming

shouldnt i say they will bring a truce agree -ment with the condition of land allotment?

kato has to be ordered back to the main land because he keeps interfering with our plan

right he is an internal enemy

have him leave joseon

why did you come so late?

it's taking a year for an envoy to come

what are you doing?

are you going to war or achieving a truce?

a decision has to be made!

i'm sorry your majesty

it's such a long way to beijing

forget it! are you the envoy from ming?

no i came ahead of the envoys to make a preliminary report

what? the envoys arent here yet?

according to ming custom...

never mind! i'm not interested in ming custom

konishi order the envoys to come right away!

yes,they should have arrived in busanpo

i'll bring them as soon as i return

they'll bring a plan for land allotment right?

i'm sure they will

fine go to busanpo right away

i have one request

what is it?

have kato return to the main land

what are you talking about?

he is blinded by merit

he is damaging the unity of the army

i was already carrying out talks with ming but he went to the joseon court suggesting a truce

he is causing trouble

did the two of you fight?

it's not that

from what i saw,kato acted arbitrarily

rather then reporting the merits of others,he exaggerated his merits and

reported them to his majesty himself

when hanyangseong was in danger,he didnt join the army

kato must be called back

he's a maverick wherever he goes

fine call him back!

i didnt know yun dusu would ruin everything

it was a perfect chance to get rid of the chief state councilor

you cant say it was just yun dusu's will

are you saying it's his majesty's will?

his majesty abandons anyone who is useless to him even if he is a loyal servant

but he doesnt if he thinks it isnt time to abandon that person yet

lee deokhryeong resigned but his majesty assigned him to the military training command

you just entered the court

how do you know his majesty so well?

when leaves wither it means it's fall

minister

yes

dont be too disappointed

it's fortunate that ryu seongryong and lee deokhyeong werent involved in this incident

the war isnt over yet

we need them

it isnt just the southerners who have great people

there are many among northerners too

he is right

if you cant get rid of southerners you should appoint northerners on the court

that's the only way to protect his majesty

in order to do that you must restore the statuses of the northerners

who were sacrificed during the imprisonment incident and hire young talent on the court

lee icheom was the student of northerner,jeong inhong

he aggresssively became involved in politics at a young age and was worthy of supporting

prince gwanghae as a core member of the northerners

he was in conflict with the westerners but he also confronted the southerners

he plays a leading role in impeaching ryu seongryong at a later time

even if it was a time of war,the joseon court still had party strife and internal disputes didnt end

kim deokryeong didnt die because he committed sins

if his majesty feels uncomfortable,a hero can become a traitor just like that

be careful you're not misunderstood

sir it's me cheonri

enter

yes

i'm glad you came go to the naval commander

sir before that...

crown prince

i just stopped by

can you give me a drink?

it's too bad what happened to kim deokryeong

if the wae army attacks again,i'm worried if righteous troops will rise again

i'm worried about that too

i think everyone should join forces to overcome this national crisis

i'd like your help with that

i should be the first to do that

what do you want?

i'd like the people who were sacrificed during the imprisonment indicent to have

their social statuses restored

you know that many of them died unjustly

people who learned from them were the people who raised the righteous troops

if their social statuses can be restored the righteous troops will be comforted

his majesty fears treason even more since lee monghak started a rebellion

he wont forgive the scholars who were involved with jeong yeorip

that's why we all have to join forces

if you me and yu join convince the ministers it could be possible

yu join?

many of his associates were sacrifice too

that's right

he said he would help if the two of us agreed to this

i know you dont like him very much

but we have to join forces at a time like this

understood

we should ask his majesty together

thank you thank you very much

one more thing

i would like lee gyeongjeon to be appointed as the sixth councilor of the office of special advisors

i'd like your help with that

isnt lee gyeongjeon,lee sanhae's son?

that's right is it too much pressure?

no there's no reason he cant be appointed if he qualifies for the position

you will ask for their statuses to be restored?

yes

i thought it would have to be done but...

i know what you're worried about

so why are you doing this?

this isnt a good time

lee monghak committed treason

restoring their statuses means kim deokr -yeong's status could be restored some day

do you think his majesty would approve of that?

he will just doubt you

that's right

you cant take action with this

dont upset his majesty

it wouldnt be the first time i upset him

sir!

it isnt just me

yu join and the other ministers will join me

there were more conflicts because of the refrom we sought

this is a good chance to unite

help me

we're on the same boat even if it's leaking

what can we do?

thank you

the crown prince wants lee gyeongjeon to be appointed as the office of special advisors

he's your brother-in-law look into it

what? he recommended my brother-in-law?

yes is there a problem?

he was promoted by three ranks and nam lgong recommended him before

jeong gyeongse was in charge of personnel at the time

he said he didnt qualify yet

it's a settled matter

bringing it up again only seems to be an intention of putting lee sanhae's son in

a position of power to increase the power of the northerners

understood

still look into it

yes sir

what? restore their social statuses?

nosense

we're not asking to restore statuses of traitors

a thousand people died at the time

some of them died unjustly

please carry out another investigation

their families wont hesitate to fight for you and our country

that's right your majesty

please consider it

you know that there were quite a few loyal servants among those who suffered

if their names can be cleared,they will be truly grateful in the other world

public sentiments are scattered because of lee monghak's rebellion

the death of kim deokryeong is also causing a lot of doubt

are you saying i cruelly killed kim deokryeong when he was innocent?

that's not what i mean

what's important is that's what the people think regradless of what the facts are

you should show that you are a fair king at a time like this

if you show that you seek what's right even after a time

the people will be touched and they will follow you

forget it i dont need that

if i restore the statuses of traitors traitors who had the same will as

jeong yeorip and lee monghak will rise again

leave me!

please investigate the matter again!

please investigate!

many scholars died unjustly

please restore their social statuses!

please restore their social statuses!

what?

listen

i know you respect and follow the chief state councilor

you were a temporary official at the time

if their statuses are restored,you will have to admit you were wrong

that's not all

Songgang(Jeong Cheol)and all the westerners will be blamed for killing scholars because

we were blinded by power

i know what you're worried about

but it's true that many scholars died unjustly

i know because i was a temporary official of interrogations at the time

it wasnt fair

you changed a lot

why did you remain in our party?

sir...

leave!

every flow has its ebb

the power of the court changed many times over the past few decades

it would have been nice if it didnt happen but how can we guarantee that something

like that wont happen to us?

hey!

you're the one who burnt the preliminary report to prevent something like that from happening again

you want people to be trated fairly

dead people should be treated fairly just the same!s

even so i cant deny my old friends

like jeong cheol and seong hon

i could never do that

you should leave now

minister

i want to stop you with everything i have

but since it's for unity,i wont take any action

go now

sir...

songgang i'm sorry

you should approve

they associated with jeong yeorip

if we were a bit late in suppressing them i would be the one who is dead

how can i restore the statuses of people who associated with someone like that?

your majesty...

when song yingchang was here i know you tried to help me

i'm still grateful for that

well...

even if it was for your own survival

i cant say that wasnt a reason

but it wasnt the only one

you led bunjo well and gained public sentiments because of that

thank you for being so honest

so i have a favor to ask

i know that you give much advice to his majesty

be on my side for sure now

i wont consider you to be a political enemy if you do that

i'll promise a nice future for prince jeongwon too

can you swear to keep that promise no matter what happens?

the imprisonment incident was a strategy that you planned to put up your guard against

the power of the easterners

it was just treason

now the court is full of easterners like ryu seongryong

he knows too much about you

a new court has to be formed when this national crisis is over

most of the people involved with jeong yeorip were easterners

you know that easterners were divided into southerners and northerners

a fight in the famiy is worse than a fight against an enemy

you dont have to restore everyone's statuses

approve of those whose crimes are light

you can see how that goes and restore more or less after that

you have to support the northerners now to put up your guard against

the easterners and westerners at a later time

if you were born as a man,i would have had to give in to you

you flatter me

in 1596 the first restoration of the people who died because of

jeong yeorip's treason took place

it was means for unity,but it was also an admission of sacrifice

made for party strife

some of the scholars who were sacrificed had their social statuses restored

it wasnt much but it was a little progress for the northerners

what about li zongcheong?

i said the retired regent would refuse and go to war again

he took off that night

that's good

what about yang fangheng?

when he heard li zongcheong fled he criticized him for being a coward

he sent someone to beijing asking that shen weijing be appointed as the deputy envoy to go to japan

is that so?

i would have been the main envoy if yang fangheng fled too

that's too bad

it's alright you became an official envoy

we succeeded halfway

the problem is saisho

genso said he would try to meet him

let's trust him

konishi!

you!

i'm going to cut open your stomach and chew up your liver!

you cant do this!

let go koichi!

kato!

are you going to be like this?

do the two of you have to shed blood?

you know what he did

he slandered me to the retired regent

why else i would be called back to the main land?

what on earth are you babbling about?

i might always be fighting with you but i wouldnt slander you like that

the reports were made by the surveillants who were sent here

nosense! i know you're one with ishida

ukita please

i hate konishi more than a joseon soldier or a ming soldier

let me settle this matter with him!

fine! let's fight outside!

are the two of you crazy?

you dare to refuse the retired regent's order?

if you want to kill each other go ahead!

i'll be sure to report this to the retired regent

i'll tell him to give all of the loser's land to the winner

how can you say that?

i'm sick and tired of your fighting

you should be willing to bet that much if you want to settle this

will you?

fine i'll obey his majesty's order!

but konishi listen

like ukita just said,a day will come when we have to bet everything we have!

i'll be waiting for that day!

konishi prepare to go the main land with the ming envoys

yang fangheng received approval to bring shen weijing as the deputy envoy

understood

withdraw part of the army in seosae -ngpo and uncheong when you leave

that's an order from the retired regent

really?

hansando naval headquarters of the three provinces

the chief state councilor is concerned

he told me to tell you again that you be careful not to be misunderstood

official lee what do you think?

do you think i'll end up like kim deokryeong?

sir...

tell the councilor not to worry

yes sir

sir!

sir part of the army in busanpo is withdrawing to their main land

we received a report from heo naeman

gather the officers

the entire army didnt withdraw

it's just a sign to show that they're willing to acheive a truce

that's what i think too

is there really going to be a truce?

it's nice if the war ends but this is...

no there cant be a truce!

they killed our people so cruelly

do we have to agree just because they want to stop now?

my family wont be able to close their eyes!

there's no need to get excited

this war wont end with a truce

the condition for a truce is allotment of our land

there is no way ming would allow that

if they did our court would know about it

toyotomi hideyoshi might be crazy about war but he wont accept an installation

he will stage an armed protest

we cant do anything about the wae soldiers who already left

whether there's truce or a war,we cant let any more wae soldiers leave alive

all officers will watch the enemy camp

dont let any vessels leave

yes sir!

how can you do this?

we restored their social statuses what is the problem?

they're not the problem!

it's the people whose statuses werent restored!

be a bit more specific

why were lee bal and jeong gae cheong eliminated from the list?

everyone knows that lee bal was very close with jeong yeorip!

jeong gaecheong was also close jeong yeorip wrote a letter to him

practically calling his his brother

his majesty wouldnt approve of them

what are you talking about?

jeong gaecheong was only accused for criticizing jeong cheol!

jeong eonsin was a relative and noh susin recommended jeong yeorip

their statuses shouldnt have been restored then!

jeong eonsin fulfilled his duties but was sacrificed solely for being a relative

noh susin recommended jeong yeorip long before he committed treason

they both deserved to have their statuses restored

what else is the problem?

nobody we wanted was on the list!

this is wrong!

we investigated and made a list of the people who were treated the must unjustly

what's wrong with that?

this is too much

if we joined forces,you should restore our people too!

that's why i was even more careful

what is the reason you wanted this?

should i guess?

you wanted to restore the statuses of scholars who followed you

you wanted to increase your power in the court by gathering their followers

councilor!

do you think i dont know you're using unity as an excuse to take over the court?

if your intentions were pure,more people would have had their statuses restored!

i'm sure your intention was the same for recommending lee gyeongjeon

that wont happen!

you are the chief state councilor indeed

crown prince

does everyone who doesnt follow you seem like they're forming a party to rule the court?

you're claiming reform,but controlling everything

do you think that's fair?

crown prince...

i will remember this

how did it go?

we cant work with the chief state councilor

then he has to be driven out

osaka

what? saisho refused?

yes he said he would read it as is

you should have threatened him

i'm begging you

please help us

i dont have anything more to say -Saisho Zotai-

this could harm you

i could be harmed even if i die

please leave now

darn!

what will we do?

we're both dead!

isnt there a way?

it's tough to write a fake document,but you have to see the retired regent tomorrow

there is no other way

am i to die like this...

what brings you here again?

i'm here as the deputy envoy

the emperor of ming is really fickle

the war is finally going to end

it took such a long time

i like peace

maeda you like peace too right?

yes your majesty

if we divide joseon there wont be another war

that's right

read the royal letter

first i'm appointing toyotomi hideyoshi as the king of japan

second i will not accept tributary offerings

third the japanese army in joseon will withdraw from joseon

what? that's it? what about the land allotment?

there is nothing about that

maeda they're playing with me right?

do you think i'm crazy about being a king?

i can be the king without an installation by the emperor of ming

you

do you want another fight?!
