Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:35,215 --> 00:00:38,232
What happened to Dae Joyoung`s envoy?
2
00:00:38,789 --> 00:00:42,838
The Khan has yet to make his dicision.
3
00:00:44,301 --> 00:00:45,997
What do you mean by that?
4
00:00:45,997 --> 00:00:51,596
He will make his dicision after the debate
between the two state reoresentatives.
5
00:00:52,749 --> 00:00:57,248
A debate?
I am to have a debate with Geom?
6
00:00:57,249 --> 00:01:02,167
The Khan is waiting.
You must come with us.
7
00:01:07,672 --> 00:01:12,340
General, this is an unaticipated situation.
8
00:01:13,732 --> 00:01:15,568
It`s no problem.
9
00:01:16,036 --> 00:01:18,005
How do you mean?
10
00:01:19,098 --> 00:01:27,785
What could the fledgling state have to offer?
This is a god given opportunity to get rid of Geom.
11
00:01:27,785 --> 00:01:33,018
and establish an alliance with the Turks.
12
00:01:50,529 --> 00:01:53,222
~Li Wen~
13
00:01:53,222 --> 00:01:56,789
So you`re seeking an alliance?
14
00:01:58,285 --> 00:01:59,770
That`s right.
15
00:02:01,845 --> 00:02:07,357
Alliances are made between states of equal strength.
16
00:02:07,357 --> 00:02:16,946
It is utterly audacious of a fledgling state Balhae
to come seeking an alliance with the supreme
power of the north.
17
00:02:17,716 --> 00:02:24,017
Evidently, Dea Joyoung has no respect for Muchuo Khan.
18
00:02:26,310 --> 00:02:30,281
You have a point.
~Muchuo:Turkic Khan~
19
00:02:30,281 --> 00:02:40,075
It is fitting tha Dae Joyoung come bowing to me
personally and seek to become our tributary state.
20
00:02:40,075 --> 00:02:44,473
Is this an act of irreverence towards me?
21
00:02:50,868 --> 00:02:52,778
Why don`t you answer?
22
00:02:56,068 --> 00:02:59,532
Does Dae Joyoung thinks he is above me?
23
00:03:01,234 --> 00:03:10,478
His Majesty the King of Balhae does not think neither
the Turks nor the Tang Chinese are above him.
~Li Geom~
24
00:03:15,084 --> 00:03:19,530
Did you hear this?
Their arrogance will pierce the sky!
25
00:03:19,530 --> 00:03:28,035
We`ve recaptured our territory along the central
and western China and build a powerful force.
26
00:03:28,450 --> 00:03:36,496
If Dae Joyoung does not think
we are above him, he is insane!
~Inel:Muchuo`s son~
27
00:03:37,281 --> 00:03:44,959
If a war should break out between the Turks
and Balhae, we are confident victory will be ours.
28
00:03:48,179 --> 00:03:49,450
Silence!
29
00:03:50,104 --> 00:03:55,811
You are free to dream, but you speak
of breaking a rock with an egg.
30
00:03:55,812 --> 00:04:03,341
No one thought that we would win when
the massive Tang army came after us.
31
00:04:04,115 --> 00:04:10,591
But we wiped them out on
Chunmunryeong and won a sweeping victory.
32
00:04:12,012 --> 00:04:15,812
We did break a rock with an egg.
33
00:04:20,541 --> 00:04:26,166
Balhae may be small right now,
but we`re harder than rock.
34
00:04:26,857 --> 00:04:32,237
But Tang, on the other hand is but a giant egg.
35
00:04:34,216 --> 00:04:37,592
What? A giant egg?
36
00:04:40,247 --> 00:04:45,691
You`ve become so weak that you can`t
even defend your own boundaries.
37
00:04:45,691 --> 00:04:50,871
And you want to forge an alliance with
the Turks as if they are your equal?
38
00:04:51,915 --> 00:04:58,021
It`s Tang that should bow and declare itself tributary state.
39
00:04:59,109 --> 00:05:00,385
You bastard!
40
00:05:00,385 --> 00:05:05,167
I`ll pluck out your tongue right here right now!
41
00:05:06,210 --> 00:05:07,210
Stop!
42
00:05:09,228 --> 00:05:10,670
Settle down.
43
00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:19,744
Deliberate carefully.
44
00:05:19,744 --> 00:05:32,770
If you should join hands with Tang instead of Balhae,
glory of the Turkic tribes could crumble overnight.
45
00:05:40,422 --> 00:05:42,411
You speak correctly.
46
00:05:44,069 --> 00:05:51,727
It is Tang that should kneel before us
and seek to become our tributary state.
47
00:05:53,149 --> 00:05:54,149
Khan!
48
00:06:17,749 --> 00:06:20,725
A tributary state?
49
00:06:20,725 --> 00:06:24,606
Muchuo, that man knows no bounds!
50
00:06:24,606 --> 00:06:28,873
This is all because of that bastard Li Geom.
51
00:06:28,873 --> 00:06:33,197
I should have put an end to him on Chunmunryeong!
52
00:06:33,197 --> 00:06:36,214
General, what do we do now?
53
00:06:36,214 --> 00:06:44,747
What choice we have?
We can`t stoop to the barbarians.
Prepare to return to Chang`an.
54
00:06:44,747 --> 00:06:47,876
We have to get back quickly and find another solution.
55
00:06:47,876 --> 00:06:54,520
Sir, we might have to go to Yingzhou first.
56
00:06:55,263 --> 00:06:56,263
Yingzhou?
57
00:06:58,544 --> 00:07:03,245
We have a message that General
Xue Rengui is in critical condition
58
00:07:03,852 --> 00:07:06,768
What?
General Xue?
59
00:07:26,757 --> 00:07:30,057
It`s past the time Muchuo was
supposed to give us an answer.
60
00:07:30,863 --> 00:07:34,043
The delay is making me nerous.
61
00:07:35,081 --> 00:07:40,899
If we fail to forge an alliance,
we won`t make it out of here alive.
62
00:07:40,899 --> 00:07:47,700
Perhaps we should slip out tonight.
We can`t die here in vain.
63
00:07:48,586 --> 00:07:53,979
If we fail to forge an alliance,
we might as well die.
64
00:07:54,573 --> 00:07:55,573
General....
65
00:07:56,962 --> 00:08:00,075
If I should fail...
66
00:08:00,923 --> 00:08:07,160
I`ll kill Muchuo with my own hands and serve the country.
67
00:08:15,976 --> 00:08:17,615
Thank you for waiting.
68
00:08:18,218 --> 00:08:22,854
You will have our best breeding horses tomorrow.
69
00:08:24,122 --> 00:08:27,620
Take them back to Balhae.
70
00:08:29,737 --> 00:08:37,362
Tang has already betrayed us more than once.
But I know Dae Joyoung.
71
00:08:38,408 --> 00:08:42,455
He will never break the alliance first.
72
00:08:53,017 --> 00:08:55,455
This is my handwritten letter.
73
00:08:56,077 --> 00:09:00,283
My sincere congratulations on founding of a new state.
74
00:09:00,828 --> 00:09:05,484
I will deliver your message, Khan.
75
00:09:41,435 --> 00:09:43,271
Come on in, wife.
76
00:09:43,930 --> 00:09:46,298
What is all this?
77
00:09:46,945 --> 00:09:49,558
A new state needs new laws.
78
00:09:49,558 --> 00:09:54,161
I`m going through some ancient records
studying the laws of different Kingdoms.
79
00:09:54,161 --> 00:09:59,642
Laws are important, but safety
and welfare comes first.
~Sukyoung:Queen of Balhae~
80
00:10:01,083 --> 00:10:05,517
I`ve sent an envoy to the Turks,
so we will hear somethiang soon.
81
00:10:05,518 --> 00:10:13,079
I hope and pary Geom succeeds,
but what will you do if he fails?
82
00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:19,336
If the Turks should refuse us and join hands with Tang...
83
00:10:19,336 --> 00:10:24,289
If we can`t stop a war with reason
we will stop it with force.
84
00:10:24,545 --> 00:10:32,085
-This country is in no condition to fight a war.
-Wars always break out when things are
at its worst.
85
00:10:32,971 --> 00:10:35,856
-But Your Majesty...
-Have patience.
86
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:43,761
I sent Geom on this mission because I have faith in him.
87
00:10:44,809 --> 00:10:50,080
Not because you want to make him a Crown Prince?
88
00:10:52,353 --> 00:11:04,331
I`ve never defied you in all of our years together.
But I will not stay quiet about the successor issue.
89
00:11:05,797 --> 00:11:10,253
Geom cannot be allowed to carry on the royal line of this state.
90
00:11:10,254 --> 00:11:11,254
Wife!
91
00:11:11,421 --> 00:11:18,042
Stability and unity is the main concern of this state right now.
92
00:11:18,119 --> 00:11:27,179
The Crown Prince must come from the royal line of
Goguryeo not from Khitan if only to serve this cause.
93
00:11:28,791 --> 00:11:29,791
You made your point, so lets stop now.
94
00:11:36,585 --> 00:11:45,050
I will observe the public sentiment and gather
consensus of the court before making my decision
about the successor.
95
00:11:45,050 --> 00:11:47,850
So please do not bring this up again.
96
00:11:50,629 --> 00:11:51,629
Verry well.
97
00:11:52,651 --> 00:11:57,427
We cannot put our minds at ease
and attend to the pressing state
98
00:11:57,427 --> 00:12:01,256
affairs until this diplomatic
issue with the Turks is settled.
99
00:12:03,089 --> 00:12:10,580
I hope Geom returns soon.
This waiting is nerve racking...
100
00:12:20,136 --> 00:12:25,854
Sir, General Li Wen is here.
Open your eyes.
101
00:12:27,383 --> 00:12:32,524
-Li Wen is here?
-General, how are you?
102
00:12:34,471 --> 00:12:37,802
Speak.
What happened?
103
00:12:38,549 --> 00:12:45,287
I came straight from Liaobei to
deliver the good news to you first.
~Li Wen~
104
00:12:47,005 --> 00:12:51,277
Did you succeed?
~Xue Rengui~
105
00:12:52,836 --> 00:12:54,543
Yes, general.
106
00:12:54,909 --> 00:13:00,451
Soon Muchuo will form a grand army and attack Balhae.
107
00:13:05,477 --> 00:13:11,153
Muchuo and Dae Joyoung at war.
108
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:22,251
Balhae doesn`t have the resorces to fight a
war right now. It`s finally over for Dae Joyoung.
109
00:13:26,085 --> 00:13:29,075
You won, general.
110
00:13:29,901 --> 00:13:33,295
You are the true victor.
~Hongpei~
111
00:13:35,153 --> 00:13:37,603
Victor?
112
00:13:38,416 --> 00:13:44,481
I am the final victor?
113
00:13:45,195 --> 00:13:46,195
Yes.
114
00:13:46,981 --> 00:13:53,067
You are the true here that surpasses
both Dae Joyoung and Li Kaigu.
115
00:13:56,311 --> 00:13:59,370
A hero.....
116
00:14:00,889 --> 00:14:08,637
I`ve worked so hard for so long to acquire that title...
117
00:14:10,164 --> 00:14:11,164
A hero....
118
00:14:14,033 --> 00:14:21,535
Xue Rengui is the true hero.....
119
00:14:26,583 --> 00:14:35,794
I was born a nobody and became
a great general of an empire
120
00:14:36,603 --> 00:14:49,795
At last I became a here and I leave behind two
faithful subordinates that will mourn my death.
121
00:14:55,898 --> 00:15:02,559
What more could a man ask for?
122
00:15:03,857 --> 00:15:04,857
General....
123
00:15:08,967 --> 00:15:14,473
Li Wen, thank you.
124
00:15:17,053 --> 00:15:36,817
My body grew older but my heart never
grew faint of Dae Joyoung because I had you.
125
00:15:37,658 --> 00:15:45,305
You showed this humble man how to live my life, general.
126
00:15:52,517 --> 00:15:57,583
And you Hongpei.
127
00:15:57,584 --> 00:15:59,770
Yes, general.
128
00:16:02,436 --> 00:16:09,734
You`ve been through hell and back for me.
129
00:16:09,735 --> 00:16:16,657
No, sir.
I was always causing you trouble.
130
00:16:16,658 --> 00:16:19,036
No, no.
131
00:16:19,036 --> 00:16:30,996
You never left my side even when I was at my lowest.
132
00:16:33,083 --> 00:16:43,630
You followed me wherever
I went even into burning flames.
133
00:16:44,361 --> 00:16:45,361
General...
134
00:16:47,855 --> 00:16:53,998
Li Wen, go back to Chang`an now.
135
00:16:53,999 --> 00:16:55,362
General...
136
00:16:57,347 --> 00:17:04,864
You must deliver the news to the Emperor.
137
00:17:04,864 --> 00:17:07,919
Go now.
GO.
138
00:17:09,251 --> 00:17:10,880
Yes, General.
139
00:17:12,321 --> 00:17:20,366
But when I come back, I will bring
Dae Joyoung`s head back with me.
140
00:17:20,367 --> 00:17:29,001
Yes, I`ll be anxiously waiting for your victory report from here.
141
00:17:37,699 --> 00:17:43,006
Li Wen, be careful.
142
00:18:20,876 --> 00:18:23,176
Forgive me, general...
143
00:18:24,769 --> 00:18:33,903
All I can do to comfort you in your
final hours is to tell you a lie...
144
00:18:36,311 --> 00:18:40,239
Please forgive me, general.....
145
00:18:55,825 --> 00:19:03,888
I can`t we believe we faild to make an alliance with the Turks!
146
00:19:04,576 --> 00:19:07,707
Failed, general?
147
00:19:09,303 --> 00:19:17,253
I can tell Li Wen was lying just by looking at his face.
148
00:19:19,034 --> 00:19:25,658
But I`m going to let him believe he fooled me.
149
00:19:27,065 --> 00:19:33,212
It`s the last I can do in my parting
150
00:19:33,212 --> 00:19:43,676
for a subordinate who`d go to this length to comfort me...
151
00:19:43,677 --> 00:19:44,677
General...
152
00:19:48,635 --> 00:19:58,115
Hongpei, my eyes feel so heavy....
I can`t close my eyes yet.
153
00:20:00,758 --> 00:20:12,268
I`ve got to see Dae Joyoung fall with my own two eyes.
154
00:20:15,268 --> 00:20:17,812
Your Majesty!
155
00:20:20,051 --> 00:20:25,069
Your Majesty!
156
00:20:45,082 --> 00:20:47,209
Look at what is happening!
157
00:20:47,209 --> 00:20:53,999
They will be obliterated before Li Jing gets here!
158
00:21:25,615 --> 00:21:30,183
There`s an openning!
Assist s the prince!
This way!
159
00:21:56,841 --> 00:21:58,887
Take off your mask.
160
00:22:13,771 --> 00:22:15,270
What is your name?
161
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:20,074
My name is Xue Rengui.
162
00:22:22,296 --> 00:22:28,527
How do you wish to be rewarded for your feat?
163
00:22:28,527 --> 00:22:34,594
Your Majesty, I wish to be made a general.
164
00:22:35,136 --> 00:22:38,089
What?
A general?
165
00:22:38,089 --> 00:22:40,624
Yes, Your Majesty.
166
00:22:40,625 --> 00:22:47,306
I wish to be made a general if only for a day, Your Majesty.
167
00:22:47,306 --> 00:22:52,588
Xue Rengui`s courage has perserved
the fighting spirit of my soldiers.
168
00:22:53,971 --> 00:22:57,047
I hear by appoint Xue Rengui as the assult force general.
169
00:22:57,048 --> 00:23:02,334
Prove yourself worthy and set
example for the rest of them.
170
00:23:03,646 --> 00:23:09,324
Speak. How do you plan to
hold Yeom Gaesomun back?
171
00:23:09,325 --> 00:23:19,776
If I may...
permit me to take your imperial robe.
172
00:23:21,685 --> 00:23:24,090
Why do you want my robe?
173
00:23:24,090 --> 00:23:29,392
I will put on your robe and pretend to be you.
174
00:23:29,393 --> 00:23:39,198
I will deceive them and hold them back from here
so Your Majesty may escape safetly.
175
00:23:44,476 --> 00:23:50,787
I joined the army for no other reason but the regular meals.
176
00:23:52,190 --> 00:23:59,960
A lowly derelict has received underserved love of the Emperor.
177
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:04,935
With what could I possibly return the imperial favor?
178
00:24:06,473 --> 00:24:20,915
I will die for the Emperor who gave me a chance
and made my life worth living if only for a short while.
179
00:24:25,284 --> 00:24:27,452
Give me your permission, Your Majesty.
180
00:24:31,082 --> 00:24:38,539
It is the order of the Emperor.
Come back to me alive.
181
00:24:40,562 --> 00:24:41,562
Your Majesty....
182
00:24:43,465 --> 00:24:54,692
We must destroy Goguryeo and realize the
grand enterprise of unification together.
183
00:24:58,898 --> 00:25:04,912
Forgive me, Your Majesty....
184
00:25:06,808 --> 00:25:14,273
This incompetent man has failed to stop the revival of Goguryeo...
185
00:25:17,061 --> 00:25:26,980
I have allowed Dae Joyoung to get
the best of me, Your Majesty.
186
00:25:28,696 --> 00:25:36,524
Take me now, Your Majesty!
187
00:25:36,524 --> 00:25:38,904
Your Majesty!
188
00:25:39,426 --> 00:25:42,452
-General....
-Your Majesty...
189
00:26:35,674 --> 00:26:42,099
Your Majesty, I have returned upon completion of the mission.
190
00:26:43,183 --> 00:26:44,887
Good work.
191
00:26:45,509 --> 00:26:50,828
This is the letter written by the Turkic Khan Muchuo.
192
00:27:18,745 --> 00:27:22,880
This is a great victory against Tang in a diplomatic war.
193
00:27:23,790 --> 00:27:24,790
Your Majesty.
194
00:27:25,449 --> 00:27:31,595
Threat of foreign invasion has been completely
eliminated now that the we`ve established
friendly relations with the Tuks.
195
00:27:32,637 --> 00:27:37,988
What`s more, breeding horses have been brought
back from, the Superior Turkic cavalry.
~Gulsabiwu~
196
00:27:37,989 --> 00:27:42,712
-This is an impressive accomplishment.
-It is indeed.
197
00:27:42,712 --> 00:27:48,691
Ministers of the court let us remember
General Geom`s faithful service.
198
00:27:48,692 --> 00:27:53,571
All is the glory of Balhae and the imperial grace of the King.
199
00:27:54,389 --> 00:28:00,014
Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty!
200
00:28:00,014 --> 00:28:06,900
Now we must attend to the important state
affairs we`ve been putting off one by one.
201
00:28:07,432 --> 00:28:08,432
Yes.
202
00:28:10,130 --> 00:28:17,287
The Turks have accepted our alliance
but no one can predict the future.
203
00:28:17,287 --> 00:28:25,338
In order to truly protect this state we need
independet strength that does not rely on foreign aid.
204
00:28:26,216 --> 00:28:33,426
Accordingly, I will declare the next
ten years a national growth period
205
00:28:33,426 --> 00:28:39,294
and build a platform for advancement
in all areas of the government.
206
00:28:39,938 --> 00:28:44,270
Tactician Mimosa will oversee this important endeavor.
207
00:28:53,788 --> 00:28:58,839
To strengthen the state, first we must
enrich the lives oof our people.
208
00:28:58,728 --> 00:29:04,529
Thus in seeking growth and balance advancement
in agriculture, trade, and stock-farming.
209
00:29:05,295 --> 00:29:09,458
Prime Minister Jang Sanhae is called to serve.
~Mimosa~
210
00:29:10,522 --> 00:29:15,876
Your Majesty, I will lay down my life on your service.
211
00:29:17,029 --> 00:29:24,517
In urban planning and development
General Dolbal is called to serve.
212
00:29:25,335 --> 00:29:29,056
Your Majesty, I will put forth my best effort.
213
00:29:29,819 --> 00:29:39,485
In the task of horse breeding on the pastures of Songhwa
River, General Tungso and Mu Yeom are called to serve.
214
00:29:40,668 --> 00:29:43,713
Your Grace is infinite, Your Majesty.
215
00:29:43,713 --> 00:29:51,453
General Gulsabiwu and Geom I task you focus your
efforts on strengthening our military by bringing the
scattered tribal armies together.
216
00:29:51,453 --> 00:29:54,299
and recruiting and training new soldiers.
217
00:29:55,184 --> 00:30:00,930
We will not let you down, Your Majesty.
218
00:30:01,491 --> 00:30:05,183
From here we go foward.
219
00:30:05,907 --> 00:30:16,728
Remember that the people and the government must work
together as one to bring back the glory of the old Goguryeo.
220
00:30:16,865 --> 00:30:19,300
Yes, Your Majesty!
221
00:30:52,864 --> 00:30:55,615
You don`t look very happy.
222
00:30:56,616 --> 00:30:59,655
Is there something you wish to tell me?
223
00:31:00,178 --> 00:31:05,123
Don`t hold back if you have something in mind.
224
00:31:08,401 --> 00:31:14,753
I feel the eyes of the ministers since I have been back.
~Li Geom~
225
00:31:17,347 --> 00:31:20,608
They look at me with wariness and fear.
226
00:31:22,290 --> 00:31:26,331
And?
What do you intend to do
227
00:31:29,393 --> 00:31:32,909
What are you trying to tell me?
228
00:31:33,948 --> 00:31:40,685
I just don`t want to cause you any problems.
229
00:31:41,739 --> 00:31:44,699
If that is your concern, forget about it.
230
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,528
I have a new job for you starting tomorrow.
231
00:31:53,470 --> 00:31:58,851
We`ve done a lot of work establish a
foundation since the state was declared.
232
00:31:59,530 --> 00:32:07,869
But there is one thing left to do to lay down the
root of the administration and that is to establish
fundamental laws to govern the state by.
233
00:32:09,594 --> 00:32:18,559
I`ve been doing my homework researching historic
doctrines, but I need to know the will of the people.
234
00:32:19,671 --> 00:32:21,785
The will of the people?
235
00:32:22,378 --> 00:32:27,243
The people are lost without the country and the
country does not exist without the people.
236
00:32:27,243 --> 00:32:34,673
The laws of the state must reflect the will of its public.
237
00:32:37,393 --> 00:32:40,113
I want you to investigate that for me.
238
00:32:41,718 --> 00:32:46,233
Travel in disguise among the people
and listen to what they have to say.
239
00:32:46,233 --> 00:32:52,196
That is the only way to get real
and untainted information,
240
00:32:52,196 --> 00:32:53,666
Do you understand?
241
00:32:54,351 --> 00:32:59,497
I will abide by your wish and do my best, Your Majesty.
242
00:33:01,439 --> 00:33:03,675
Here, let us drink.
243
00:36:11,623 --> 00:36:19,581
Today I will announce the supreme law of this land
that embrace the will of our founding ancestors
244
00:36:20,689 --> 00:36:30,274
Ministers will use this canon as a
guide to establish laws and policies
for all generations to follow.
245
00:36:32,825 --> 00:36:39,145
I will call this law Cheontong Canon after the era name.
246
00:36:43,732 --> 00:36:51,122
Balhae is a successor state of Goguryeo built
by Goguryeoans on the old Goguryeoan territory.
247
00:36:52,901 --> 00:36:59,389
Our ancestors are Dangun Wanggum,
Haerubu King Geumwa and King Dongmyeong,
248
00:36:59,390 --> 00:37:06,822
hence all born on their land are people
of Balhae regardless of their origin,
249
00:37:08,808 --> 00:37:13,378
What is the use of distinguishing
nobility from peasantry when
250
00:37:13,379 --> 00:37:18,794
one is below the Earth and no one is above the Heavens?
251
00:37:20,001 --> 00:37:24,274
Good will be rewarded and evil will be punished
252
00:37:24,599 --> 00:37:31,013
and those who try to hide their
crimes will face greater punishment.
253
00:37:32,388 --> 00:37:36,935
My people, respect the Earth and revere the Heaven.
254
00:37:37,587 --> 00:37:44,681
Ministers must respect the people like the
Earth and revere the law like the Heaven.
255
00:37:45,052 --> 00:37:50,210
The King must respect and revere all things,
256
00:37:50,592 --> 00:37:54,501
so his seat is the most important and the humblest of all.
257
00:37:56,508 --> 00:38:04,789
Farmers will treasure every last grain of his harvest
the soldier will not allow his weapon to rust.
258
00:38:05,130 --> 00:38:12,021
And no animal or livestock on this
land will be slaughtered in haste.
259
00:38:14,207 --> 00:38:23,606
Here I institute these laws wealth
and safety of this state and its people
260
00:38:24,070 --> 00:38:31,230
so let there be equality to all and injustices to none.
261
00:38:42,813 --> 00:38:45,035
Tactician Mimosa is here.
262
00:38:45,382 --> 00:38:47,766
-Send him in.
-Yes, Your Highness.
263
00:38:56,363 --> 00:39:00,956
What is your opinion about His Majesty`s canon?
264
00:39:01,739 --> 00:39:08,521
It`s very well written and tremendously inspiring.
~Mimosa~
265
00:39:09,369 --> 00:39:15,187
It contains his implicit intent about
the installation of the Crown Prince
~Sukyoung:Queen of Balhae~
266
00:39:15,955 --> 00:39:17,812
You`re very observant.
267
00:39:18,954 --> 00:39:20,283
His Majesty is going to....
268
00:39:20,283 --> 00:39:26,973
Your Highness, I completely
agree with you on this issue.
269
00:39:27,612 --> 00:39:36,395
But I realized listening to His Majesty`s canon
that we cannot change his mind with our will.
270
00:39:39,420 --> 00:39:47,385
His Majesty has intalled Cheontong Canon
to creat a government centered around
its people with equal opportunity for all.
271
00:39:47,386 --> 00:39:50,930
How could we defy this noble will over the successor issue?
272
00:39:52,083 --> 00:39:54,262
Then what do we do?
273
00:39:55,370 --> 00:40:00,700
We must trust that His Majesty
and never doubt his decision.
274
00:40:00,701 --> 00:40:05,817
The master we serve will never make the wrong decision.
275
00:40:08,074 --> 00:40:11,616
Yes, I will trust that to be so.
276
00:40:11,616 --> 00:40:18,658
I`ve never doubted him in all of our years
together and I shouldn`t doubt him now.
277
00:40:19,639 --> 00:40:23,683
Thank you for understanding, Your Highness.
278
00:40:34,788 --> 00:40:40,469
The ministers` complaints about the successor
issue have been completely silenced.
279
00:40:41,394 --> 00:40:46,886
No one will oppose now regardless of
whom you bring foward to succeed you.
280
00:40:46,886 --> 00:40:52,085
I did not write the canon to resolve the successor issue.
281
00:40:52,086 --> 00:40:57,720
But it`s clearly reflective of your noble will
~Gulsabiwu~
282
00:40:58,885 --> 00:41:05,227
What I wanted to say through the canon is not
who should be the King but how King should be.
283
00:41:05,228 --> 00:41:10,138
It isn`t important who rises to the throne.
284
00:41:11,576 --> 00:41:22,521
What is important is the work
he does for the people and the state.
285
00:41:23,404 --> 00:41:25,369
Then who do you have in mind?
286
00:41:26,587 --> 00:41:29,868
I haven`t made any decisions yet.
287
00:41:29,868 --> 00:41:35,622
Nothing`s more important than
strengthening the state right now.
288
00:41:35,879 --> 00:41:39,843
So I want you to focus on your griven task as well.
289
00:41:40,934 --> 00:41:47,413
Your wisdom and forseight never
ceases to amaze me, Your Highness.
290
00:41:58,811 --> 00:42:01,338
~Chang`an, Tang~
291
00:42:01,338 --> 00:42:03,070
Speak.
292
00:42:04,524 --> 00:42:09,841
What have the spies learned about Balhae?
293
00:42:11,589 --> 00:42:16,000
How is Dae Joyoung running his regime?
~Wu Zetian~
294
00:42:17,538 --> 00:42:23,607
They report that the nation strenght of
Balhae is quite difficult to accept as true.
295
00:42:24,099 --> 00:42:25,864
Explain.
296
00:42:25,864 --> 00:42:30,728
What did they manage to do in such a short time?
297
00:42:30,979 --> 00:42:38,226
According to our agents, they are
reviving the glorious culture of the
298
00:42:38,227 --> 00:42:43,881
old Goguryeo on its fertile soil from
the magnificent palace to citadels.
299
00:42:43,881 --> 00:42:48,332
What?
Revive the culture of the old Goguryeo?
300
00:42:49,060 --> 00:42:50,565
That`s not all.
301
00:42:51,359 --> 00:42:57,147
The generals that led the old Goguryeo
military have transferred
~Di Renjie~
302
00:42:57,147 --> 00:43:00,694
the iron will and spirit of the Goguryeoan
army right on to the Balhae aemy.
303
00:43:01,864 --> 00:43:04,993
Iron will and spirit pf the Goguryeoan army?
304
00:43:05,912 --> 00:43:13,295
Their cavarly is exceptionally strong
armed with Puyo horses that are
305
00:43:13,295 --> 00:43:15,506
crossbred with superior Turkish horses.
306
00:43:17,051 --> 00:43:23,079
They have absorbed the strength of
Shilla Baekje as well as the Mohe.
307
00:43:23,079 --> 00:43:28,083
Turkic and Khitan tribes, so their
speed of growth is utterly amazing.
308
00:43:28,207 --> 00:43:30,534
Enough!
I heard enough!
309
00:43:31,904 --> 00:43:36,740
This is exactly why I tried so
desperately to stop Dae Joyoung.
310
00:43:38,456 --> 00:43:43,824
Because once the rein loosens,
it`s difficult to get a hold of it again.
311
00:43:46,247 --> 00:43:51,043
Remember Goguryeo?
It had tormented us.
312
00:43:52,434 --> 00:44:03,807
And now that it has been risen again
how am I to face the departed Emperor?
313
00:44:04,707 --> 00:44:06,619
Your Majesty....!
314
00:44:07,747 --> 00:44:17,434
This humiliation and disgrace is more painful then death.
315
00:44:21,079 --> 00:44:28,756
What now?
What am I to do?
316
00:44:28,757 --> 00:44:35,517
Give us death, Your Majesty...
317
00:44:39,397 --> 00:44:47,881
An urgen report from the
northwestn region, Your Majesty.
318
00:44:48,407 --> 00:44:52,907
The Turks have crossed the Great
Wall and invaded our boundries.
319
00:44:53,956 --> 00:45:00,352
What?
Muchuo has attacked us again?
320
00:45:14,729 --> 00:45:19,355
Turkic envoys bid humble
greetings to the King of Balhae.
~Inel~ ~ Kol Tigin~
321
00:45:19,355 --> 00:45:21,673
We bid you greetings.
322
00:45:22,674 --> 00:45:27,999
You traveled a long way.
What brings you?
323
00:45:29,055 --> 00:45:34,363
Muchuo Khan has crossed the Great
Wall and declared a war aginst Tang.
324
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:42,320
We are here to request military aid
according to our agreement of alliance.
325
00:45:48,056 --> 00:45:49,444
Military aid?
326
00:45:49,465 --> 00:45:59,899
The Turkic tribes and Balhae are brother states.
If the younger brother ignores the old brother`s
fight how could that be a brotherhood.
327
00:46:00,382 --> 00:46:04,788
Silence? Who is the younger
brother and who is the older brother?
328
00:46:04,788 --> 00:46:09,313
The state that send tributary goods
is the younger brother, of course.
329
00:46:09,314 --> 00:46:11,989
-What did you say?
-Settle down.
330
00:46:14,692 --> 00:46:22,372
This does not appear to be a matter to be decided in
haste.Please rest at the guest palace while we consider.
331
00:46:23,156 --> 00:46:25,293
Yes, Your Majesty.
332
00:46:25,809 --> 00:46:29,627
-Show the envoys our warmest hospitality.
-Yes, Your Majesty.
333
00:46:58,115 --> 00:47:01,988
Balhae has made amazing progress.
334
00:47:02,367 --> 00:47:06,695
This is a frightening place...
Balhae....
335
00:47:06,695 --> 00:47:10,599
It`s not Balhae but their King Dae
Joyoung who is to be feard.
336
00:47:10,599 --> 00:47:17,262
Muchuo Khan is somewhat
intimidated by Dae Joyoung as well.
337
00:47:19,663 --> 00:47:25,259
They may be an ally now, but
we must never let our guard down.
338
00:47:25,259 --> 00:47:27,305
I agree completely.
339
00:47:33,879 --> 00:47:43,441
Your Majesty, it is the Turks that enabled
us to establish our foundation so quickly.
340
00:47:43,793 --> 00:47:49,702
If we turn down their request,
we will be making an enemy of Muchuo.
341
00:47:50,226 --> 00:47:56,844
It may not be a bad idea to join forces with the
Turks and break the spirit of the Tang Chinese.
342
00:47:57,472 --> 00:47:59,107
Yes, Your Majesty.
343
00:47:59,108 --> 00:48:03,084
This is our chance to turn the world around.
344
00:48:04,111 --> 00:48:06,855
I oppose the deployment.
345
00:48:07,987 --> 00:48:09,183
Speak.
346
00:48:09,417 --> 00:48:14,357
Our alliance is that of master and servant as they say.
347
00:48:14,357 --> 00:48:20,910
If we help the Turks subjugate Tang
right now, the Turks will claim mastery.
348
00:48:21,722 --> 00:48:26,275
I agree with General Gulsabiwu.
349
00:48:26,276 --> 00:48:31,743
We would have only wasted our precious military
strength that we`ve worked hard to build up.
350
00:48:31,743 --> 00:48:37,543
But we can`t break the alliance first either.
351
00:48:37,543 --> 00:48:47,864
They counsider Balhae their tributary state. If this
alliance has to be broken this may be the time.
352
00:48:48,073 --> 00:48:50,382
Stop.
Settle down.
353
00:48:52,715 --> 00:48:54,532
What is your opinion Mimosa?
354
00:48:55,923 --> 00:49:00,474
If we gain one thing, we will lose another.
355
00:49:00,953 --> 00:49:07,584
We must calculate our gain and losses
throughly and make a careful decision.
356
00:49:24,265 --> 00:49:28,188
-Your Majesty, it`s Mimosa.
-Enter.
357
00:49:33,723 --> 00:49:36,659
What is the will of the cabinet?
358
00:49:37,122 --> 00:49:40,328
We can`t seem to come to an agreement.
359
00:49:43,260 --> 00:49:46,815
I think this is your call, Your Majesty.
360
00:49:48,024 --> 00:49:54,143
This may be a god given opportunity for us
361
00:49:55,172 --> 00:49:56,724
How do you mean?
362
00:49:57,149 --> 00:50:02,490
It will take all of Balhae military resources combined
363
00:50:04,189 --> 00:50:07,265
Are we to support the Turks?
364
00:50:08,086 --> 00:50:12,283
The Turks will get a small army
as gesture of appreciation.
365
00:50:12,283 --> 00:50:15,440
Then why?
366
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:21,242
We will define the boundaries of this state.
367
00:50:23,737 --> 00:50:27,138
We`ve build a state around Mt.Dongmo.
368
00:50:27,138 --> 00:50:31,151
but there is still Tang military
presence throughout Liaodong.
369
00:50:31,151 --> 00:50:36,010
Several different power are gaining
ground in the west and north as well.,
370
00:50:38,502 --> 00:50:43,517
This is our chance while the Turks
and the Tang Chinese are at war.
371
00:50:45,928 --> 00:50:48,412
We are launching a conquest.
372
00:50:49,424 --> 00:50:50,551
Your Majesty!
373
00:50:52,284 --> 00:51:00,739
We will reclaim all of the old Goguryeo territory!
374
00:51:01,923 --> 00:51:07,299
