00:01:02,820 --> 00:01:04,720
Who's that woman?
5
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,030
I don't know. Why?
6
00:01:12,260 --> 00:01:13,780
Let's follow her.
7
00:02:04,460 --> 00:02:06,090
He went out?
8
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,220
{\a6}[Empress Sunjeong]
9
00:02:07,650 --> 00:02:10,900
I don't know where he has gone.
10
00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:13,970
Empress.
11
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:17,230
Yes, Your Highness.
12
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,090
The Emperor won't even attend the morning meetings.
13
00:02:17,950 --> 00:02:20,300
{\a6}[Empress Dowager Cheonchu]
14
00:02:22,340 --> 00:02:24,390
I'm aware.
15
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,790
Then how can you do nothing about it?
16
00:02:27,050 --> 00:02:29,760
You have to persuade him to change.
17
00:02:30,250 --> 00:02:33,570
Are you going to let him wander like this forever?
18
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,640
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
19
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:39,430
My lack of virtue is to blame.
20
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,000
I'm sorry for taking this out on you
when I myself am helpless to change him.
21
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:52,510
But what can I do? He detests me.
22
00:02:53,630 --> 00:02:58,150
You're the only one who can turn him around.
23
00:02:59,130 --> 00:03:02,530
No. No, Your Highness.
24
00:03:02,790 --> 00:03:06,590
Emperor doesn't hate you.
25
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,920
You don't have to comfort me.
26
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:13,890
I'm not saying this to comfort you.
27
00:03:14,910 --> 00:03:21,470
Every time he speaks harshly to you,
it breaks his heart.
28
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:33,460
It's just he doesn't know what to do about
the rage he feels for the Finance Commissioner.
29
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:41,710
And he's been drifting further
away lately in greater despair.
30
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,730
Because I sent Prince Daeryang into priesthood?
31
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:48,950
No.
32
00:03:50,090 --> 00:04:01,500
He said you don't trust him anymore and
that you think he's a conscienceless monster.
33
00:04:02,270 --> 00:04:05,750
That's why he's in despair.
34
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,150
Your Highness, I beg you.
35
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,190
Open your heart and have a talk with him.
36
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:25,520
He's a gentle soul.
37
00:04:25,530 --> 00:04:27,600
He doesn't hate you.
38
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,340
He's just lost.
39
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,190
Wait!
40
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:56,380
Young maiden, wait!
41
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:03,300
Are you talking to my lady?
42
00:05:11,090 --> 00:05:13,370
That's rather rude.
43
00:05:13,530 --> 00:05:15,610
A man is calling you.
44
00:05:15,620 --> 00:05:18,180
You can at least turn and look.
45
00:05:25,370 --> 00:05:29,010
What do you want, sir?
46
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,320
{\a6}[Kim Milhwa]
47
00:05:31,770 --> 00:05:34,460
Is this where you live?
48
00:05:35,580 --> 00:05:37,320
Yes.
49
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,520
It's a nice house.
50
00:05:41,790 --> 00:05:45,530
I asked you what you want.
51
00:05:47,290 --> 00:05:51,420
There's only one thing a
man would want from a woman.
52
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:57,900
You're not a man. You're a shameless vulgarian.
53
00:05:57,910 --> 00:06:02,060
Watch your tongue! This is...
54
00:06:06,890 --> 00:06:10,680
Why don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?
55
00:06:12,860 --> 00:06:14,010
Step aside.
56
00:06:14,130 --> 00:06:18,900
Be nice. I followed you all the way here.
57
00:06:18,910 --> 00:06:23,660
Step aside before I call someone to beat you up.
58
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,240
How strange...
59
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:48,370
It's bizarre.
60
00:06:49,230 --> 00:06:51,700
What is?
61
00:06:49,420 --> 00:06:51,010
{\a6}[Yu Han Gan]
62
00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:55,690
I thought I was cursed with numbness.

{\a6}[Mokjong (7th ruler of Goryeo)]
64
00:06:55,890 --> 00:07:01,770
But I felt my masculinity for the first time.
65
00:07:11,310 --> 00:07:13,050
{\a6}[Jo Du]
66
00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:17,250
{\a6}[Hangae Temple]
67
00:07:18,910 --> 00:07:22,670
Have you heard of a man named Kim Chi Yang?
68
00:07:19,550 --> 00:07:21,900
{\a6}[Cheon Hyang Bi]
69
00:08:01,890 --> 00:08:03,960
I'll take an order of soup and rice.
70
00:08:03,970 --> 00:08:08,210
Why is a pretty girl like you traveling all alone?
71
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,750
Let me ask you a question.
72
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,210
Oh, what's this?
73
00:08:16,220 --> 00:08:18,330
Ask me anything you want.
74
00:08:18,340 --> 00:08:21,550
Do you know much about
Hangae Temple in Mt. Seolbong?
75
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:22,830
{\a6}[Seolbong San: Seolak Mountain]
76
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,030
Why, everyone who lives in
this area knows Hangae Temple.
77
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,180
Then have you heard of a monk named
Kim Chi Yang who might have stayed there?
78
00:08:30,190 --> 00:08:33,680
I might recognize some Buddhist names,
79
00:08:33,690 --> 00:08:37,370
but I couldn't possibly know
every monk who stayed there.
80
00:08:37,380 --> 00:08:43,820
Then do you know anything about a violent
attack on the temple about 30 years ago?
81
00:08:43,830 --> 00:08:45,560
30 years ago?
82
00:08:45,570 --> 00:08:49,010
No, I'm afraid not.
83
00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:52,400
How could she know something which
happened such a long time ago?
84
00:08:52,410 --> 00:08:55,070
Do you know, sir?
85
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,040
Why don't you buy us a round of rice wine?
86
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,880
Give them a round of rice wine, please.
87
00:08:59,890 --> 00:09:02,890
Sure. Coming right up!
88
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:08,610
Yes, there was an incident which left
many monks dead a few decades ago.
89
00:09:08,620 --> 00:09:16,520
But I think it was a virulent disease
which killed them, not a violent attack.
90
00:09:16,750 --> 00:09:22,930
And I heard many child monks died too.
91
00:09:22,940 --> 00:09:24,200
I see.
92
00:09:24,210 --> 00:09:29,330
Is it true that the head monk
there at the time was a Shillan?
93
00:09:29,340 --> 00:09:31,910
What do you mean a Shillan?
94
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,640
Shilla crumbled almost a hundred years ago.
95
00:09:33,650 --> 00:09:37,490
If you're parents are Shillan, you're a Shillan.
96
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:39,620
That's crazy.
97
00:09:39,630 --> 00:09:42,560
Why would a Shillan come
all the way to Mt. Seolbong?
98
00:09:42,570 --> 00:09:44,170
It's not that.
99
00:09:44,180 --> 00:09:52,940
Crown Prince Mahi was building an army deep
in the woods of Inje after the fall of Shilla,
100
00:09:52,950 --> 00:09:57,530
and the head monk was one of his men.
101
00:09:57,630 --> 00:10:00,210
That's all gibberish.
102
00:10:00,220 --> 00:10:05,940
Crown Prince Mahi died on Mt. Gaegol
lamenting about the fall of Shilla.

{\a6}[Mt. Gaegeol: Geumgang Mountain(during winter)]

He has nothing to do with this area.
105
00:10:07,490 --> 00:10:10,640
No, no. He didn't die.
106
00:10:10,650 --> 00:10:14,100
He pretended to be dead so he could build an army.
107
00:10:14,110 --> 00:10:17,140
Who's older? You or me?
108
00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:20,850
I know more than you do.
109
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:33,430
General Kim, have another drink.
110
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,670
We better go now, Commissioner.
111
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:46,560
Please don't go so soon, sir.
112
00:10:46,570 --> 00:10:50,180
I'll be lonely without you.
113
00:10:55,740 --> 00:10:59,090
Why don't you spend the night here?
It's quite late.
114
00:10:59,220 --> 00:11:02,960
Yes, please spend the night.
115
00:11:02,970 --> 00:11:04,350
No.
116
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,420

That's a shame.
124

But if you must go, let me pour your last drink.

May I think of the two of you as my brothers?
128
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:46,040
I grew up lonely without siblings.
129
00:11:47,140 --> 00:11:53,310
I just feel comfortable with you
fellows as if you're my younger brothers.
130

We're honored if you think of us that way.

Well then, let's drink to our brotherhood.

What's this?

It's a gift for the two of you

Yes. Yang Kyu, in particular, seemed very pleased.
152

Give them gifts and find their weaknesses.

And get them off the hook
if they commit minor crimes.
161

One by one, we'll expand our

Pretty women, good wine and good food,
why it's paradise.

I get indigestion every time I eat there.

177
00:16:08,810 --> 00:16:12,890
General Yang, General Kim.
178
00:16:15,590 --> 00:16:27,430
I know it's not easy, but get close to
Kim Chi Yang and keep a watchful eye on him.
179
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,410
Don't worry, sir.
180
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,260
Do you understand?
181
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:53,010
I want to know about her father,
her family background and her associates.
182
00:16:54,260 --> 00:16:57,100
Yes, Your Majesty.
183
00:17:05,340 --> 00:17:07,010
What do you want?
184
00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:10,600
Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager wishes to see you.
185
00:17:18,970 --> 00:17:20,710
Please sit down.
186
00:17:29,250 --> 00:17:31,520
Where did you go tonight?
187
00:17:32,730 --> 00:17:34,830
I went out for fresh air.
188
00:17:35,850 --> 00:17:39,670
You should take your guards with you
when you leave the palace.
189
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,080
Do you intend never to attend
the morning meetings again?
190
00:17:49,340 --> 00:17:56,050
How could a heinous Emperor who tried to kill
his own mother stand before his men and face them?
191
00:17:59,490 --> 00:18:02,370
An important envoy is coming from Song.
192
00:18:02,770 --> 00:18:10,980
I'm told it's indecorous for me to receive him
alone since Song is not under a regency like Liao.
193
00:18:11,310 --> 00:18:14,650
I need you there.
194
00:18:15,580 --> 00:18:22,070
I see. So you need a dummy again.
195
00:18:22,930 --> 00:18:27,030
I'm sorry, but I don't feel like it.
196
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:33,200
Emperor, this is a very important state matter.
197
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:40,220
I know you hate me, but please attend
to this state affair, if only just once.
198
00:18:40,510 --> 00:18:45,180
I've tried to attend to state affairs
but you stopped me every time.
199
00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:48,430
What can I do?
200
00:18:52,230 --> 00:18:55,560
I can't employ the men I want.
201
00:18:55,570 --> 00:18:58,230
I can't dismiss the Finance Commissioner.
202
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,110
You don't let me do anything, so I tried
to abdicate the throne to Prince Daeryang,
203
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:03,360
but you won't let me do that either.
204
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:07,720
Every time I tried to do something,
an innocent bystander gets hurt.
205
00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:14,020
Now I'm a conscienceless monster
so I'm worse than worthless.
206
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,860
How could I attend to state affairs?
207
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,230
Emperor, please.
208
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,660
I said I would let bygones be bygones.
209
00:19:30,010 --> 00:19:34,190
But I won't let you bring harm to this state.
210
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,840
So please stop veering astray and do as I ask.
211
00:19:50,140 --> 00:19:55,820
The moment the Emperor saw Lady Milhwa,
he was completely entranced.
212
00:19:55,830 --> 00:20:02,920
Then he followed her like a puppy all the
way back to the house and got the boot.
213
00:20:04,110 --> 00:20:06,040
It looks like success.
214
00:20:06,050 --> 00:20:11,740
But I hope he wasn't turned off by her rejection.
215
00:20:06,850 --> 00:20:09,400
{\a6}[Jo Sun]
216
00:20:12,330 --> 00:20:16,120
He may be too embarrassed to seek her again.
217
00:20:17,010 --> 00:20:19,140
Don't worry.
218
00:20:19,430 --> 00:20:22,720
{\a6}[Kim Won Soong]
219
00:20:20,260 --> 00:20:25,820
There are plenty of easy women in the palace.
220
00:20:26,860 --> 00:20:33,920
He needs someone who's hard
to get to keep him interested.
221
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,260
You're right, Father.
222
00:20:36,150 --> 00:20:39,100
{\a6}[Lady Yunheung]
223
00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:39,840
I know the Emperor.
224
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:48,400
He might be more attracted to a strong-willed woman
instead of a submissive woman like the Empress.
225
00:20:48,890 --> 00:20:52,010
I guess all we can do is wait now.
226
00:20:53,470 --> 00:20:57,650
If only I were a few years younger,
227
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:57,480
{\a6}[Court Lady Jo]
228
00:20:57,660 --> 00:21:00,960
I could've done this better than Milhwa.
229
00:21:22,610 --> 00:21:24,040
Your Majesty.
230
00:21:26,830 --> 00:21:29,320
Yes?
231
00:21:30,770 --> 00:21:35,260
I asked you what the Empress Dowager talked about.
232
00:21:36,290 --> 00:21:38,630
Oh that?
233
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,340
Same old things she always talks about.
234
00:21:42,350 --> 00:21:43,810
"Come to the council hall..."
235
00:21:43,820 --> 00:21:45,750
"Attend the morning meetings..."
236
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,250
Oh, and she told me that an
important envoy is coming from Song
237
00:21:49,260 --> 00:21:51,900
and asked that I be there for the reception.
238
00:21:56,150 --> 00:22:00,200
Why? Why are you looking at me funny?
239
00:22:00,210 --> 00:22:04,390
I told you everything mother talked about.
240
00:22:05,410 --> 00:22:07,330
That's why it's odd.
241
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,560
Sorry?
242
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:15,650
You never casually ramble on like this.
243
00:22:15,780 --> 00:22:18,470
What's gotten into you?
244
00:22:21,270 --> 00:22:25,880
You complain about the darnedest things.
245
00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:32,990
So how did you reply the Empress Dowager?
246
00:22:35,810 --> 00:22:37,420
I told her no.
247
00:22:40,430 --> 00:22:41,830
Your Majesty.
248
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,990
Please don't say no all the time.
249
00:22:50,060 --> 00:22:55,010
No matter how you deny it,
you're the Emperor of this state.
250
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,680
You can't run from it.
251
00:23:03,570 --> 00:23:08,870
If you're bothered by the Finance of
Commissioner or his child who'll soon be born,
252
00:23:09,290 --> 00:23:11,150
don't run from the problem.
253
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,390
Face it head on.
254
00:23:14,980 --> 00:23:19,530
You know I'm not capable.
255
00:23:20,810 --> 00:23:22,150
Yes, you are.
256
00:23:22,550 --> 00:23:26,970
You're more than capable of leading the state.
257
00:23:27,980 --> 00:23:29,720
No.
258
00:23:31,010 --> 00:23:35,750
I've watched you since you were a child.
259
00:23:36,340 --> 00:23:39,740
I know you better than anyone.
260
00:23:40,810 --> 00:23:45,830
If you put your mind to it,
you can be a great ruler.
261
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:52,920
So stop running away and live your ambitions.
262
00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:57,860
And if you fail, don't give up.
263
00:23:58,170 --> 00:24:04,210
Try and try again, Your Majesty.
264
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:20,520
Perhaps you can allow the Emperor
to handle the domestic affairs.
265
00:24:20,910 --> 00:24:27,880
And if he proves himself worthy,
you can gradually confer all authority.
266
00:24:27,890 --> 00:24:33,480
Give His Majesty a chance.
267
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,510
I've tried to attend to state affairs
but you've always stopped me.
268
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,620
What can I do?
269
00:25:00,530 --> 00:25:02,850
No, Your Highness.
270
00:25:02,860 --> 00:25:06,590
Invest the Emperor with full
power over domestic affairs?
271
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,680
It's unthinkable.
272
00:25:09,420 --> 00:25:12,590
Why is it unthinkable?
273
00:25:13,380 --> 00:25:15,580
Isn't it obvious?
274
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:24,440
I hate to say this, but His Majesty
is unfit to lead the state.
275
00:25:24,670 --> 00:25:30,820
There is no telling what he'll make of this state
unless the Empress Dowager is watching him.
276
00:25:30,830 --> 00:25:34,990
We don't know that until we try.
277
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:43,530
Besides, Empress Dowager will continue
to oversee foreign and military affairs.
278
00:25:43,930 --> 00:25:45,370
That's right.
279
00:25:45,380 --> 00:25:50,130
And if it's determined later that His
Majesty is unprepared for the task,
280
00:25:45,820 --> 00:25:49,780
{\a6}[Choi Hang (Royal Undersecretary)]
281
00:25:50,140 --> 00:25:54,740
the Empress Dowager can take back the authority.
282
00:25:54,750 --> 00:25:59,320
This isn't child play, giving then taking back.
283
00:25:59,330 --> 00:26:03,820
We're talking about giving His Majesty a chance.
284
00:26:00,170 --> 00:26:03,360
{\a6}[Kim Shimon (Minister of Interior)]
285
00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:06,260
Why do you oppose so strongly?
286
00:26:06,470 --> 00:26:13,830
His Majesty might surprise us all if the Empress
Dowager is attending to foreign and military affairs.
287
00:26:08,780 --> 00:26:12,330
{\a6}[Gang Jo (Minister of War)]
288
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,320
Yes.
289
00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:21,110
And Her Highness can't continue the regency forever.
290
00:26:16,050 --> 00:26:19,370
{\a6}[Dae Dosu (Minister of Punishment)]
291
00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:24,800
But this isn't time of peace.
292
00:26:24,810 --> 00:26:26,850
Please stop, Commissioner.
293
00:26:31,310 --> 00:26:37,460
Your point is well taken, so let
me hear the opinion of the others.
294
00:26:38,350 --> 00:26:44,030
Is there anyone else who opposes this
investiture of power to the Emperor?
295
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:54,440
Then this is my decision.
296
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:59,670
From this day forward, I won't be here to
partake in administration of domestic affairs.
297
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,120
I ask you all to assist the Emperor
and guide him in the right direction.
298
00:27:04,130 --> 00:27:07,390
We won't disappoint you, Your Highness.
299
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,920
Please reconsider, Your Highness.
300
00:27:16,930 --> 00:27:19,300
If you invest the Emperor with power,
301
00:27:19,310 --> 00:27:24,550
guileful retainers might goad the
Emperor to drive you out all together.
302
00:27:25,020 --> 00:27:28,680
Have you forgotten about the poisoned tonic?
303
00:27:29,420 --> 00:27:32,770
But I can't just ignore the Emperor.
304
00:27:32,780 --> 00:27:37,680
If I'm not going to forsake him,
I've to prepare him to stand on his own.
305
00:27:38,540 --> 00:27:43,610
But this isn't the right time.
306
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,350
Commissioner,
307
00:27:46,740 --> 00:27:49,560
there's something I've been meaning to say.
308
00:27:49,570 --> 00:27:52,540
I want to give you a piece of advice
for your own good.
309
00:27:55,740 --> 00:28:00,110
Don't say nay when everyone else says aye.
310
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,190
It doesn't help anyone.
311
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,870
What do you mean?
312
00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:15,560
You're in a very special position
because I've conceived your child.
313
00:28:15,570 --> 00:28:19,770
You can unwittingly possess power
that exceeds your title.
314
00:28:19,910 --> 00:28:23,330
I don't want you to be seen that way.
315
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:30,910
Even when I think you're right,
I must pay greater heed to others.
316
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,960
And you must be more cautious
about everything, if only for me.
317
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,290
Do you understand?
318
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,420
Yes.
319
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,220
And don't make any derogatory remarks
about the Emperor.
320
00:28:47,550 --> 00:28:51,200
You'll only isolate yourself.
321
00:28:52,940 --> 00:28:59,310
I understand. I failed to think that far.
322
00:29:00,370 --> 00:29:02,460
This is my last try.
323
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,130
I'm putting my last hope on the Emperor.
324
00:29:08,090 --> 00:29:11,650
If he makes small mistakes,
I intend to overlook them.
325
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,880
So say nothing about them.
326
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,100
Your Highness,
327
00:29:26,110 --> 00:29:29,490
the Emperor has left the palace again.
328
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:32,050
Again?
329
00:29:32,060 --> 00:29:35,040
After everything I said about
this being a critical time?
330
00:29:35,850 --> 00:29:41,810
The Imperial guards are secretly
following him this time for his protection.
331
00:29:36,420 --> 00:29:39,610
{\a6}[Sa Illa]
332
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,650
Your Majesty, I'll announce you.
333
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,210
Come on, let's go.
334
00:30:31,570 --> 00:30:34,610
Are my eyes deceiving me?
335
00:30:34,620 --> 00:30:37,420
What did His Majesty just do?
336
00:30:37,430 --> 00:30:43,040
I don't know. I think he just jumped the wall.
337
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,800
Is he breaking in to steal something?
338
00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:52,070
That mouth of yours! That's absurd!
339
00:30:52,810 --> 00:30:58,290
What do we do now?
It looks like a high noble estate.
340
00:31:44,950 --> 00:31:46,840
Who are you?
341
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,960
Those men!
They were...
342
00:31:54,310 --> 00:31:58,560
How dare you break into this house?!
Get them!
343
00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:11,380
Stay back.
This is His Majesty the Emperor!
344
00:32:14,170 --> 00:32:15,660
Silence!
345
00:32:15,110 --> 00:32:17,850
{\a6}[Kim Yung Dae]
346
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,680
If this thief is the Emperor...
347
00:32:19,210 --> 00:32:22,240
I'm the Emperor's uncle!
348
00:32:22,250 --> 00:32:24,910
What are you waiting for?
Get them.
349
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:45,930
Take your hands off of him!
350
00:32:46,250 --> 00:32:49,180
This is the Emperor!
351
00:32:49,190 --> 00:32:50,260
Arrest these men!
352
00:32:50,270 --> 00:32:52,040
- Arrest them!
- Yes.
353
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,210
Your Majesty, are you all right?
354
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:08,540
How dare you attempt
to harm the Emperor?!
355
00:33:08,550 --> 00:33:10,050
Do you have a death with?
356
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,850
Forgive me!
357
00:33:12,860 --> 00:33:16,420
I didn't know!
358
00:33:16,430 --> 00:33:21,470
Is this really the Emperor?
359
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,880
That's right!
Who does he look like?
360
00:33:29,790 --> 00:33:35,110
Your Majesty, this man deserves
to be beheaded this instant.
361
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,750
Withdraw your sword.
362
00:33:37,930 --> 00:33:41,940
But Your Majesty, he dared...
363
00:33:41,950 --> 00:33:45,680
I acted in error.
This man committed no crime.
364
00:33:46,250 --> 00:33:52,570
What are you thugs doing here anyway?
Did you follow me?
365
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:56,970
What is this about?
366
00:34:11,090 --> 00:34:14,550
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
367
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:20,050
I failed to recognize you and
committed an unforgivable crime.
368
00:34:23,930 --> 00:34:26,630
That's enough apologies.
369
00:34:28,090 --> 00:34:32,510
We made an unavoidable mistake
failing to recognize you.
370
00:34:33,090 --> 00:34:38,540
But isn't it also true that Your Majesty's
behavior was unbefitting of an Emperor?
371
00:34:39,690 --> 00:34:44,460
That sounds like you still
think I am shameless.
372
00:34:44,470 --> 00:34:48,400
To be honest, yes.
373
00:34:48,980 --> 00:34:50,490
Milhwa.
374
00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:56,630
Do you not fear death speaking
so bluntly to the Emperor?
375
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,670
I can have you killed with a single word.
376
00:35:02,210 --> 00:35:07,050
I do fear, but it is the truth.
377
00:35:07,060 --> 00:35:11,500
If honesty is a crime punishable
by death, do as you wish.
378
00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:20,220
"Milhwa"... is that your name?
379
00:35:22,830 --> 00:35:24,470
Yes.
380
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:27,660
What is your family name?
381
00:35:28,710 --> 00:35:30,530
It's Kim.
382
00:35:32,190 --> 00:35:34,400
And this is your father?
383
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:41,220
No, Your Majesty.
I am her brother, Kim Yung Dae of Gyeongju.
384
00:35:42,170 --> 00:35:43,510
I see.
385
00:35:59,790 --> 00:36:01,240
Hyang Bi!
386
00:36:06,580 --> 00:36:08,670
What are you doing here?
387
00:36:09,090 --> 00:36:11,570
Oh, I'm...
388
00:36:11,580 --> 00:36:13,800
You must've come to see your husband.
389
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,290
You just can't stay away.
Can you?
390
00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:25,790
He must be very good to you.
You have a rosy glow.
391
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,720
Here's your honey.
I'll see you later.
392
00:36:44,390 --> 00:36:46,130
Did you just get back?
393
00:36:49,350 --> 00:36:52,330
So you learned nothing new?
394
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,700
I guess I troubled you for nothing.
395
00:37:00,220 --> 00:37:03,310
But it still doesn't sit well with me.
396
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,040
Chu was certain of what he heard.
397
00:37:06,050 --> 00:37:10,640
How could all of those monks know
nothing? It makes no sense.
398
00:37:12,410 --> 00:37:15,280
It's possible Chu was misinformed.
399
00:37:15,940 --> 00:37:22,390
Forget about it and go home now.
I have to get back, too.
400
00:37:23,710 --> 00:37:26,250
Husband, wait.
401
00:37:28,780 --> 00:37:34,030
I heard something strange
on the way back at an inn.
402
00:37:34,620 --> 00:37:36,690
Like what?
403
00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:41,580
Some men said the head monk at the
time of the incident was a Shillan.
404
00:37:41,780 --> 00:37:43,580
Shillan?
405
00:37:43,590 --> 00:37:49,670
Yes, and that Shilla's Crown Prince Mahi
secretly built an army in that area and
406
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,700
that the head monk was one of his men.
407
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:56,470
Prince Mahi and Hangae Temple...
408
00:37:57,180 --> 00:38:02,970
But that has no connection to Kim Chi Yang.
409
00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:07,420
No, but it still bothers me.
410
00:38:08,690 --> 00:38:12,840
Don't worry about this anymore.
411
00:38:16,420 --> 00:38:21,000
We'll find another way to
reveal Kim Chi Yang's past.
412
00:38:26,940 --> 00:38:32,340
This is not good.
413
00:38:32,580 --> 00:38:38,420
If the Emperor controls domestic affairs,
my position will no doubt be reduced.
414
00:38:40,010 --> 00:38:45,840
I thought the mother-son relationship
was completely destroyed after the poisoning incident,
415
00:38:46,250 --> 00:38:51,170
but I guess
blood is thicker than water.
416
00:38:51,180 --> 00:38:58,740
Don't worry. There is no way that the
wayward Emperor can do a good job.
417
00:38:58,970 --> 00:39:01,710
My Lord, it's Steward Mun.
418
00:39:02,210 --> 00:39:03,810
Come in.
419
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,120
What is it?
420
00:39:12,130 --> 00:39:16,610
About the coins you asked me to look into,
I checked with the mint and they said
421
00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:20,390
there is no way there could be
so many coins in circulation.
422
00:39:21,910 --> 00:39:23,430
Is that right?
423
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:24,460
Yes.
424
00:39:24,470 --> 00:39:28,590
Perhaps you should pay a visit to the mint.
425
00:39:25,070 --> 00:39:27,850
{\a6}[Mun In Wui]
426
00:39:33,910 --> 00:39:37,040
The Emperor was at Yoseoktek again?
427
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:42,050
Yes, there was a huge commotion.
428
00:39:44,090 --> 00:39:49,730
Did you hear that?
It's just as I predicted.
429
00:39:49,740 --> 00:39:54,540
He may be the Emperor, but when
it comes down to it, he's just a man.
430
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:04,510
Let them send daily reports, but make sure
they make no contact with us in public.
431
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:10,480
If anyone finds out we�re connected,
this whole thing is over.
432
00:40:10,940 --> 00:40:13,630
Yes, My Lady.
433
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,480
But shouldn't we have someone
watching them closely?
434
00:40:18,550 --> 00:40:23,860
We invested a lot of money into this,
and if they should betray us...
435
00:40:24,730 --> 00:40:27,030
Don't worry.
436
00:40:28,540 --> 00:40:38,770
I'll put someone I can
trust to be our front man.
437
00:40:39,870 --> 00:40:41,640
Jumped a wall?
438
00:40:41,650 --> 00:40:46,510
The Emperor broke into a stranger's
estate to see a woman?
439
00:40:46,930 --> 00:40:50,250
Yes, I'm afraid so.
440
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,030
Who is this woman?
441
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,820
Even at a quick glance,
442
00:40:55,730 --> 00:40:58,340
{\a6}[Yu Bang]
443
00:40:56,830 --> 00:40:59,240
she was no ordinary beauty.
444
00:40:59,870 --> 00:41:02,690
Do you know anything about her family?
445
00:41:03,580 --> 00:41:08,080
No, but she lived in a huge,
impressive mansion.
446
00:41:08,090 --> 00:41:14,520
It was called Yoseoktek, but I was unable
to find out who owns the property.
447
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,950
What did you think?
She's no ordinary woman, is she?
448
00:41:28,830 --> 00:41:31,730
No, Your Majesty.
449
00:41:32,570 --> 00:41:36,030
She didn't look a thing like her brother.
450
00:41:36,610 --> 00:41:39,490
Her Highness the Empress Dowager!
451
00:41:58,130 --> 00:42:02,080
What's brought you here, Mother?
452
00:42:04,090 --> 00:42:07,660
I heard you created quite
a commotion in the city today.
453
00:42:08,130 --> 00:42:12,260
It's not as if this is the first time.
454
00:42:13,410 --> 00:42:16,190
Are you attracted to the woman?
455
00:42:17,250 --> 00:42:19,810
What are you talking about?
456
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,440
I heard you jumped a wall for this woman.
457
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,770
If she is so beautiful, why didn't
you just call her into the palace?
458
00:42:27,780 --> 00:42:31,950
Why did you do something
so unbecoming of the Emperor?
459
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:36,710
Emperor,
460
00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:42,840
I made an announcement today
461
00:42:42,850 --> 00:42:46,470
that I am giving you full power
to administer domestic affairs.
462
00:42:47,820 --> 00:42:49,670
Domestic affairs?
463
00:42:50,450 --> 00:42:51,830
Yes.
464
00:42:51,980 --> 00:42:56,660
I won't be in the council hall when domestic
affairs are being discussed and decided.
465
00:42:56,670 --> 00:43:01,210
So rule as you would like to rule.
466
00:43:02,630 --> 00:43:05,570
Why are you taking this kind of risk
when you know I'm incompetent?
467
00:43:06,130 --> 00:43:08,890
I just might turn the council hall
into a banquet hall.
468
00:43:09,890 --> 00:43:14,350
I'm entrusting you nonetheless.
469
00:43:15,090 --> 00:43:21,870
So you try your best to govern the empire
in a manner that will earn you respect.
470
00:43:25,220 --> 00:43:31,210
And the Song envoy is due to arrive soon,
so please don't leave the palace again.
471
00:43:31,410 --> 00:43:33,110
Can I count of you?
472
00:43:38,750 --> 00:43:43,380
Song envoys traveled to Goryeo
by sea in a long and difficult
473
00:43:43,390 --> 00:43:48,000
journey that took a month to complete.
474
00:43:48,420 --> 00:43:54,840
This journey is described in detail about
120 years later by the Song envoy, Xu Jing,
475
00:43:54,850 --> 00:43:59,280
in "Illustrated Account of Goryeo" which is
476
00:43:59,570 --> 00:44:07,600
invaluable documentation of Goryeo's
culture and sea route during that time.
477
00:44:08,070 --> 00:44:14,660
According to the Illustrated Account of
Goryeo, Song envoys left Yingzhou of
478
00:44:14,670 --> 00:44:21,440
Song on a sailboat called Shinju and
entered Goryeo's international port of
479
00:44:21,450 --> 00:44:28,010
Byuklando by way of Gageodo, Gogunsando,
Anmyeondo and Youngjeongdo.
480
00:44:29,980 --> 00:44:33,130
It is truly overwhelming to set foot
481
00:44:33,140 --> 00:44:34,980
on Goryeo again after ten years of no
482
00:44:34,990 --> 00:44:36,920
communication since our diplomatic
483
00:44:36,930 --> 00:44:39,620
ties were severed on the
5th year of Chunhua.
484
00:44:40,490 --> 00:44:44,260
Thank you for coming.
485
00:44:44,270 --> 00:44:46,360
You must be exhausted from
the long journey.
486
00:44:46,370 --> 00:44:52,420
Owing to your kindness, I was treated with
extreme courtesy since my arrival on land,
487
00:44:52,430 --> 00:44:56,810
and I have been able to
relieve my fatigue.
488
00:44:57,780 --> 00:45:01,590
The prolonged war with
the Khitan must have
489
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,400
the Emperor of Song greatly concerned.
490
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,850
Yes, Empress Dowager.

00:45:08,350 --> 00:45:13,180
His Majesty is preparing his final battle

00:45:16,530 --> 00:45:23,210
And I am here to seek your
help in this endeavor.
495
00:45:23,220 --> 00:45:29,620
But we are in a rather awkward position.
496
00:45:30,220 --> 00:45:38,370
You may not be aware, but we have
established sibling ties with Liao.
497
00:45:39,230 --> 00:45:43,780
I am aware, Your Highness.
498
00:45:43,790 --> 00:45:47,760
But I ask that you honor your
prior agreement with us first.
499
00:45:48,610 --> 00:45:54,600
Let me remind you that if we had
not taken military action during your
500
00:45:54,610 --> 00:46:00,060
conference with Khitan, Goryeo
would have been in grave danger.
501
00:46:00,910 --> 00:46:07,110
This is quite true, but we are not
a powerful state like Song China.
502
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,070
It is not easy for us to go up
against the powerful Khitan with
503
00:46:10,170 --> 00:46:12,940
whom we share our border.
504
00:46:15,070 --> 00:46:21,610
Does this mean you are refusing to help?
505
00:46:22,980 --> 00:46:25,390
You are an impatient man.
506
00:46:26,540 --> 00:46:32,860
My answer depends on what Song is
willing to offer us in return.
507
00:46:33,290 --> 00:46:38,430
What do you seek?
508
00:46:56,860 --> 00:47:00,200
She asked for the Old Balhae territory?
509
00:47:00,210 --> 00:47:04,110
In exchange for helping them conquer Liao,
510
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:09,050
she requested 1,200 miles of land
including Eastern Capital Liaoyang
511
00:47:09,060 --> 00:47:15,070
Prefecture all the way up to old capital
of Balhae Holan Fort once Liao has fallen.
512
00:47:15,610 --> 00:47:19,440
I was so nervous that I couldn't breathe.
513
00:47:19,450 --> 00:47:23,830
Song was once our suzerain state after all.
514
00:47:20,580 --> 00:47:23,990
{\a6}[Choi Wonshin (Vice Minister of the Office of Ceremony)]
515
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:28,250
But she didn't even flinch
making this demand.
516
00:47:28,890 --> 00:47:32,350
I was truly amazed by the Empress Dowager's fortitude.
517
00:47:32,470 --> 00:47:36,690
So did the envoy agree?
518
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:41,790
He did not give a firm answer,
but he doesn't have any other options.
519
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:46,080
Without us, they can't win this war.
520
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:50,400
I guess this means we will
get to see our homeland again.
521
00:47:50,410 --> 00:47:52,070
Right, General Gang?
522
00:47:52,980 --> 00:47:54,520
Yes.
523
00:47:54,730 --> 00:47:58,010
I can still see the streets of Jeong-an
524
00:47:58,260 --> 00:48:00,180
when I close my eyes.
525
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,900
Oh, that's right.
526
00:48:03,910 --> 00:48:06,050
You are both Balhaeans.
527
00:48:06,060 --> 00:48:10,520
I guess you'll lead the spearhead
we march out to fight the Khitan.
528
00:48:10,530 --> 00:48:12,150
Of course.
529
00:48:20,240 --> 00:48:23,600
I was so young when we left.
I don't remember much anymore.
530
00:48:23,610 --> 00:48:26,330
I do remember it being very cold.
531
00:48:28,010 --> 00:48:35,050
It'll be warm if we go back together.
It's our home after all.
532
00:48:37,020 --> 00:48:41,890
By the way, did you speak to Lord
Gang Gamchan about Hangae Temple?
533
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,060
That again?
534
00:48:46,990 --> 00:48:51,300
Why when we haven't
learned anything new?
535
00:48:51,710 --> 00:48:56,640
But he might know something that
we don't that could make a connection.
536
00:48:57,510 --> 00:49:01,060
He's very busy dealing with the envoy,
537
00:49:01,070 --> 00:49:03,600
and there's nothing more
for us to investigate.
538
00:49:04,580 --> 00:49:10,150
Lord Gang will conduct
his own investigation,
539
00:49:10,890 --> 00:49:13,180
so there is no need for me to mention it.
540
00:49:14,420 --> 00:49:19,660
Husband, then do you know
a man named Mun In Wui?
541
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:22,800
Who is that?
542
00:49:23,100 --> 00:49:25,800
He was Choi Seom's domestic steward but
543
00:49:25,810 --> 00:49:29,770
he became palace keeper of Cheonchu
Palace after turning Choi Seom in.
544
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,220
Is that right?
545
00:49:33,230 --> 00:49:36,410
But why would someone like that
be working at Cheonchu Palace?
546
00:49:36,630 --> 00:49:40,440
I believe Commissioner Kim recommended
him to the Empress Dowager.
547
00:49:42,670 --> 00:49:47,070
I see.
What about him?
548
00:49:47,330 --> 00:49:52,480
I just thought he might know the story
about Choi Seom and Hangae Temple.
549
00:49:52,490 --> 00:49:54,110
If you questioned him...
550
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,830
No.
551
00:49:56,590 --> 00:50:00,840
Even if he knows something, I can't ask
a traitor that attached himself to
552
00:50:00,850 --> 00:50:04,100
Kim Chi Yang and betrayed
his own master about this.
553
00:50:05,610 --> 00:50:11,860
If Kim Chi Yang found out, he would
just become more wary of us.
554
00:50:12,550 --> 00:50:16,420
So let it go and forget about it.
555
00:50:23,060 --> 00:50:24,450
Right here.
556
00:50:31,820 --> 00:50:33,030
You made it.
557
00:50:37,290 --> 00:50:40,540
What do you have to report?
558
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,480
A woman?
559
00:50:45,970 --> 00:50:47,420
Yes, my Lord.
560
00:50:47,580 --> 00:50:52,460
The Emperor caused a disturbance over
a woman at a place called Yoseoktek.
561
00:50:53,990 --> 00:50:58,120
He can't get his way,
so he's gone completely wild.
562
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,830
It's just another one of his
escapades, so forget about it.
563
00:51:03,610 --> 00:51:07,480
I don't think so, sir.
564
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:09,830
What you mean?
565
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:14,880
According to Yu Han Gan,
he's really fallen for this woman.
566
00:51:18,970 --> 00:51:20,760
We have trouble.
567
00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:22,960
What is it?
568
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:27,440
I just got word that someone showed up
at Hangae Temple asking about you again.
569
00:51:29,100 --> 00:51:31,330
Who could it be?
570
00:51:31,340 --> 00:51:34,070
I'm told it was a woman.
571
00:51:34,860 --> 00:51:36,160
A woman?
572
00:51:36,570 --> 00:51:38,090
Yes, sir.
573
00:51:38,100 --> 00:51:42,720
Could Gang Jo have sent Cheon Hyang Bi?
574
00:51:42,730 --> 00:51:46,010
Last time he sent one
of his Balhaean friends.
575
00:51:47,670 --> 00:51:59,320
Yes, I remember him lying to cover it up.
It has to be Cheon Hyang Bi.
576
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:04,920
But why again after all of these years?
577
00:52:16,590 --> 00:52:19,020
The Khitan are sending an envoy as well?
578
00:52:19,030 --> 00:52:21,100
Yes, Your Majesty.
579
00:52:21,110 --> 00:52:23,200
The message was sent from Yalu River,
580
00:52:23,210 --> 00:52:25,820
so they should arrive in two weeks.
581
00:52:26,710 --> 00:52:29,940
Who have they sent?
582
00:52:30,450 --> 00:52:34,620
As usual, it's the great general of
the Celestial Tiger Guard, Yelu Dilie.
583
00:52:35,650 --> 00:52:41,390
Then I guess they're not quite
up to par with the Song Chinese.
584
00:52:41,810 --> 00:52:49,680
Your Highness, the problem is he will
be here before the Song envoy leaves.
585
00:52:49,690 --> 00:52:58,600
It does us no benefit to have the two meet,
so perhaps we should delay their arrival.
586
00:52:58,610 --> 00:53:03,670
No, it doesn't matter
if the two envoys meet.
587
00:53:04,650 --> 00:53:09,460
In fact, we need to make the two
countries compete for our alliance
588
00:53:09,470 --> 00:53:11,920
and get ourselves in the best
position possible.
589
00:53:12,570 --> 00:53:20,000
But it could be rather undignified to sway
from supporting one side to another.
590
00:53:20,010 --> 00:53:21,890
Yes, Your Highness.
591
00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:25,160
There is trust and honor to consider.
592

{\a6}[Chae Choongsun (Minister of Investigation)]
593
00:53:25,170 --> 00:53:27,160
It is inappropriate for the government
594
00:53:27,170 --> 00:53:28,940
to behave like businessmen.
595
00:53:29,390 --> 00:53:31,590
I agree.

{\a6} [Han Ingyeong (Minister of Finance)]
597
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,650
We could offend both countries
598
00:53:33,660 --> 00:53:37,590
if we are not careful.
We'll end up upsetting both sides.
599
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,270
I don't care.
600
00:53:39,790 --> 00:53:47,230
We're in a position where
both Liao and Song need us.
601
00:53:48,350 --> 00:53:56,630
The ball is in our court.
It's time to make the most of it.
602
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,760
I could not agree more, Your Highness.

I'm not sure.
614
00:54:58,510 --> 00:55:02,790
Empress Dowager Cheonchu
has grown too strong.
615
00:55:05,540 --> 00:55:11,210
I made a mistake.
I should never have sent her back alive.
616
00:55:14,940 --> 00:55:16,480
Emperor.
617
00:55:16,490 --> 00:55:18,080
Yes, Mother.
618
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:26,540
I don't want you to provoke Goryeo
as long as Empress Cheonchu is
619

alive, even after I am gone.
620
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,680
Goryeo is no longer the
inferior state we used to know.

Aren't you going to answer me?

I understand, Mother.

A merchant caravan is
sure to be coming along.

Shouldn't we set aside some items

there threatening me and refusing to
acknowledge Goryeo as an empire.
