Episode 59

Your Highness, please push a little harder.

Why is this taking so long?

[Sa Illa]

She's losing strength.

It's her age.

Your Highness, give it one more good push.

Take a deep breath and push down as hard as you can.

[Empress Dowager Cheonchu]

Your Highness, you can do it. One more good push.

Your Majesty, the Chinese and Khitan have already launched their troops.

We must send orders for our troops standing by in Hogyeong and at the Yalu River to initiate action.

No, Your Majesty.

Don't send the order and reconsider this war.

[Chae Choongsun (Minister of Investigation)]

Involvement in this war will not benefit Goryeo.

No, it won't.

Two stronger states are at war with each other.

Fortune may desert us if we meddle in haste.

It would be wiser to observe the outcome and establish ties with the victorious state.

Don't you know that this is the golden opportunity the Empress Dowager has been waiting for?

[Gang Jo (Minister of War)]

I'm not trying to ignore that, but what's important are the people of Goryeo.

[Kim Shimon (Minister of Interior)]

The public doesn't want this war.

The war isn't being fought on our land.

[Choi Hang (Royal Undersecretary)]

Our goal is to reclaim the land we lost while Song and Liao are at war.

But...

what if the war spreads into Goryeo?

[Han Ingyeong (Minister of Finance)]

Would you assume responsibility?

That's right.

There is no guarantee that the war won't spread into Goryeo if we get involved.

[Hwangbo Yui (Vice Minister of Finance)]

So we must make our decisions very carefully.

What's more, we've established an alliance with Liao.

[Choi Wonshin (Vice Minister of the Office of Ceremony)]

It wouldn't be right if we broke our agreement and stabbed them in the back.

Listen to yourselves.

You didn't make a peep when the Empress Dowager sent troops to Hogyeong.

[Gang Gamchan (Minister of the Office of Ceremony)]

What is this now?

How can you change your attitude so completely now that she's indisposed?

You're high officials of the state. How could you be so cowardly?

I beg your pardon, Minister Gang.

[Choi Suk (Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel)]

Cowardly?

Cowardly!

Just because you're afraid to fight,

you want to let down 300,000 soldiers who have been working day and night for this campaign?

Your Majesty, Minister Gang is right.

Please authorize the deployment of the troops.

But foreign and military affairs require my mother's approval.

[Mokjong (7th ruler of Goryeo)]

Your Majesty, this is a state of emergency.

Empress Dowager is unable to issue orders, and we've no time to lose.

So I ask you, please send the troops to the front.

Your Majesty,

I implore you to wait and observe the developments before sending the troops to war.

There is danger in haste.

There is danger in haste, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, this is not haste.

This is the opportunity we've been preparing for since your enthronement.

How can you say it's haste to seize that opportunity?

Your Majesty.

If we don't act now,

we'll lose our only chance to reclaim the old Balhae territory, Your Majesty.

I appreciate your opinions.

You speak the truth, Minister Gang.

But Minister Kim also has a point.

So I'll decide this matter after I speak to the Empress Dowager.

Oh, boy...

What could be going on?

Why aren't they giving us the order to move out, sir?

I'm so anxious I can't stand it.

Are you sure the message was delivered to Gaegyeong?

[Dae Dosu (Minister of Punishment)]

Yes, General.

More than ample time has passed for them to respond.

[Kim Hoon]

General.

[Yi Hyunoon]

Would you like me to go to Gaegyeong just in case?

You know how quick I am on my horse.

You just want to weasel out of deployment.

[Choi Ghi]

Get back to your seat and be quiet.

Let's be patient.

[Yang Kyu]

I'm sure we'll hear something soon.

[Duyan]

How is she?

Congratulations. It's a boy!

[Kim Chi Yang (Finance Commissioner)]

Are you sure?

A boy?

It's a boy?

Yes, congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you.

God is on my side!

A boy?

[Goh Hyun]

Yes.

Allow me to congratulate you.

Your Majesty...

I see. That's wonderful.

Tell her that I'm happy for her.

Yes.

Your Majesty, where are you going?

I'll be in the Imperial consort's chambers.

[Empress Sunjeong]

[Sa Gamun]

Thank you.

Do you want to hold the baby?

I gave him a name.

I want to call him Ryang.

Ryang...

My baby...

Ryang...

Congratulations, Your Highness.

You did it.

Thank you.

I can't thank you enough for giving me a son.

We must thank the Buddha for sending us a healthy child.

Yes, of course.

We'll hold a special Buddha service.

By the way, is there any news about the war between Song and Liao?

No, not yet.

That's odd.

I expected the war to have begun by now.

Commissioner,

please dispatch another team of scouts beyond the Yalu river.

As you wish.

Your Highness, you must rest now.

I'll leave you now.

Your Majesty,

I implore you to authorize the deployment!

We can't miss this opportunity, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty,

give the troops your command!

Your Majesty,

please give the troops your command!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty,

[Kim Milhwa]

your men are imploring you.

Shouldn't you go outside and talk to them?

You must bear my son.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty...

Please, not here.

A son. I must have a son!

- Your Majesty! - A son!

A son!

Give us your command, Your Majesty!

This is useless.

Let's go to Cheonchu Hall.

But the Empress Dowager has not recovered from giving birth.

We can't wait forever and risk ruining the great mission.

All we need is her verbal authorization.

But what if we can't see the Empress Dowager?

Then you'll have to make the bold decision.

Exercise your authority as the Minister of Military and issue the order to attack.

Very well, sir.

I will.

Then let's go.

What brings you, sir?

It's an urgent matter.

We must speak to the Empress Dowager.

I'm sorry, but Her Highness can't see anyone right now.

She had complications after the delivery, and the physician is with her.

Then we shall only ask her one question from outside her chambers.

Let us through.

If this is about deploying the troops, please speak to the Emperor instead.

She doesn't need emotional stress in the condition she's in.

She spent the last five years of her life preparing for this opportunity.

Step aside.

I said no.

If you won't step aside, I'll push you aside.

Your Highness,

it's Minister of Rites, Gang Gamchan.

I've come on an urgent matter.

Your Highness!

Send him in.

Your Highness, you need absolute rest.

I said send him in.

Your Highness, forgive me.

What's the urgent matter?

Your Highness, it's war.

Song and Liao have finally begun their war.

What?

Your Highness, you mustn't get up.

When did this happen?

The message arrived early this morning.

But we haven't been able to initiate action without your authorization, Your Highness.

What? Send the troops to the front at once!

Yes, Your Highness.

I'll obey your command.

How could this happen?

Why did they delay?

Your Highness, please rest.

You mustn't strain yourself.

General!

General, a messenger is here from Gaegyeong.

We've the go ahead.

You heard, men.

Alert the riverside base and prepare the troops to move out!

Yes, sir!

What's happening?

General, it's an earthquake!

An earthquake?

Stay calm!

Everyone, stay calm!

Move to a clear area!

The horses!

Calm the horses!

Stay calm!

Stay calm!

Don't panic!

[Gaegyeong Palace]

An earthquake?

There was an earthquake in Hogyeong?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Half of the homes have been destroyed, and many have been killed and injured.

People are on the streets wailing for their loss.

It's truly a wretched sight to see.

What's the damage at the military base?

The damage was minor at the main camp because it's on a flat plane,

but Elite Striking guards at the foot of the mountain were buried under a landslide.

And we don't have the casualty report yet.

The bigger problem we've right now is the public's anxiety.

Not only are people out on the streets with no food to eat,

but they're in panic and in fear of another earthquake.

Does this mean the troops can't be deployed to the front at this point?

The war isn't our primary concern right now.

Your Majesty,

we must send a *weimusa to Hogyeong at once,

[*Weimusa: Control officer that comforts the people during crisis.]

and provide public relief by opening emergency relief dispensaries and government storehouses.

I'll surrender all of my personal assets for the relief effort.

I must agree with Commissioner Kim.

It's a great shame but we must postpone

the military expedition and attend to the people first.

I implore you, Your Majesty.

We implore you, Your Majesty.

Very well.

Bring me a plan to deliver relief to the people of Hogyeong without delay.

And I'll personally visit Hogyeong as soon as time allows,

so inform my plan to the people of Hogyeong and stop any potential unrest.

Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty.

There were 176 accounts of earthquakes throughout the Goryeo era that were recorded in relative detail.

Brief accounts of earthquakes that occurred during Mokjong's reign are found in Goryeosa.

It's likely that the effects of earthquakes in this time were far greater than in modern times

because overcutting of firewood made mountains more vulnerable to landslides,

and the construction of common homes was such that they were easily destroyed.

Also, earthquakes were thought to be a sign of the king's misrule,

so kings often reflected on their mistakes and performed sacrificial rites when earthquake struck.

I've never seen such a wretched sight.

The whole city of Hogyeong is homeless and famished.

It's the biggest disaster ever.

Famished? You think that's a problem?

What about all the dead and injured?

There are bodies floating in brooks and rivers,

and there are mountains of corpses piled so high that they block the sunlight.

This is all because of Empress Dowager Cheonchu has angered the heavens.

What do you mean? What did the Empress Dowager do?

Haven't you heard?

[Jo Du]

Heard what?

She just gave birth to Finance Commissioner Kim Chi Yang's child.

What?

The Emperor is still childless but his mother just had a child out of wedlock with a lowly Jurchen.

That's why this country is being punished with an earthquake.

What's worse, she's cooking up a scheme to put that child on the next throne.

The Empress Dowager is doing that?

If this is true, that certainly would explain the disaster.

The aftershock of the Hogyeong earthquake has reached Gaegyeong.

That's all everyone can talk about when there's more than two people in one place.

[Jo Sun]

In fact, I was just out there at the marketplace stirring things up a little.

I told the people that the Empress Dowager just had a child out of wedlock with Kim Chi Yang

and the homeless people were chewing her out like there's no tomorrow.

If this keeps up,

[Court Lady Jo]

there will be civil unrest soon.

Yes.

[Kim Won Soong]

Thanks to this, the northern conquest has completely gone up in smoke.

The people are in panic, and we didn't have to lift a finger.

We must use this opportunity to make the public turn against the Empress Dowager.

I'm just hoping Milhwa comes through for us.

[Lady Yunheung]

Why is there no word?

Relax. Heaven is on our side.

Everything will go well, so don't worry.

We can't deploy the troops?

Your Highness,

it's a natural disaster beyond human control.

We can't fight a war when the city of Hogyeong has been devastated.

But we can't give up like this.

We worked too hard and waited too anxiously for this...

My lifelong dream can't be shattered like this.

Your Highness,

I know how you feel, but we've no choice.

We must look forward to our next opportunity.

There won't be a "next opportunity".

We'll never get another perfect chance like this.

Your Highness, people are panic stricken.

It's impossible to carry on a war in this state.

It's a shame

But look forward to our next chance.

Have the gods forsake me?

If we don't seize this opportunity,

this country will never be able to reclaim the northern territory.

Goguryeo, Balhae...

Do these names have to remain buried in our history?

If not now, who in the future generation will reclaim that soil?

We don't deserve this.

I resent the gods...

If I could defy the gods, I would.

In the year 1004,

Empress Dowager Xiao's army of 200,000 marched south

and battled it out with Song in their final war.

Song empire gave its best effort

but with Shengzhong personally leading his army and yielded initial success,

ended up signing a peace treaty in January of the following year.

The Song Chinese agreed to pay an annual tribute of 200,000 bolts of silk

and 100,000 ounces of silver.

Furthermore, Emperor of Song would address the Empress Dowager of Liao

as an elder and would maintain friendly relations.

The Treaty of Shanyuan resulted in over a century of peace,

and provided the backdrop for Liao to become the strongest nation in East Asia.

Is this true?

A treaty with such conditions was signed?

Yes, Your Majesty.

We were unable to conquer the Song capital of Kaifeng,

but they'll give us annual tributes and address you as their elder,

[Yelu Dilie]

so it's clearly a victory for Liao.

Yes.

[Shengzhong (6th ruler of Khitan)]

It could've been better, but this is indeed great success.

Song empire is no longer our problem now.

Goryeo...

Destroying Goryeo is my only remaining purpose.

[Goryeo in Hanmoon]

[3 years later]

How time flies.

Prince Hwangju is already walking.

It's time to go to the council hall, Your Highness.

Already?

Your days must seem shorter when you're spending it with Prince Hwangju.

Go ahead, I'll take care of the prince.

No, Empress.

Young prince is going to Shiwangsa today.

His father is taking him to pray for health and longevity.

Go ahead.

Yes, Your Highness.

I better go now.

Yes, Your Highness.

What's wrong, Your Highness?

It just saddens me a little to see mother and son together.

I wish for you to bear a child soon as well.

I'm afraid that's beyond my ability.

I just hope the Imperial consort will bear a child, but we've been waiting so long...

Royal Undersecretary.

Yes, Your Highness.

How's the Emperor doing in Hogyeong?

Very well, Your Highness.

This is his third consecutive year visiting Hogyeong.

He's going door to door meeting the people, comforting the sick and elderly,

and attending to the lives of the people.

What's more, he has completed the rebuilding efforts after the earthquake,

and public sentiment has greatly improved.

He's becoming a benevolent ruler,

and there isn't a trace of the man he was before.

It's most fortunate.

Minister Gang, what did we hear back from the Song Chinese?

As we feared, Song empire is refusing to mend ties with us.

We didn't provide the military aid we had agreed upon three years ago

so from their perspective, we've betrayed them.

But there were unavoidable circumstances.

Was this explained?

Yes, but they said firmly that they wouldn't trust us again.

I'm sure they believe they were defeated by the Khitan because

we failed to come through when they went to war counting on us.

Then has northern conquest become an unreachable dream?

We'll have to bide our time and look for another opportunity.

Khitan won't be able to invade us in haste,

so we'll have to be content with the preservation of peace for now.

But I'm not content.

We must resume northern advancement soon.

If we don't, the Khitan will turn their sword on us in the near future.

I promise you.

You think you can find the counterfeiters?

Yes, My Lord.

When the country first began minting a few years ago,

coin makers and coin mills had to be imported from Song

because Goryeo didn't have the skills for production.

But I found out from my sources in Song that there were a few other coin makers

who came into Goryeo other than those requested by our government.

[Mun In Wui]

And Steward Yi is tracking them down now.

By the way, My Lord,

when do we put our grand plan in motion?

The birth of the young prince gave us hope,

but now the Emperor is starting to come around.

From what I heard, he's already being called a benevolent ruler in Hogyeong.

Prince Hwangju won't be able to rise to the throne as it stands now.

We should just take up arms.

It's too soon.

But I don't know if waiting is such a good idea.

Forgive me, but your relationship with the Empress Dowager doesn't seem like it was before.

You haven't spent a night at Cheonchu Hall since the birth of the young prince.

Perhaps the Empress Dowager's feelings for you have changed.

Silence! How dare you!

You know nothing about our relationship!

Forgive me. I was just concerned.

Her feelings haven't changed.

We're being cautious of the public eye.

The Empress Dowager will never leave me. Do you understand?

I'm sorry, sir. Forgive me.

Mother!

Sa Illa!

It's good to see you.

Hi, Ryang.

This must be Prince Hwangju.

Yes.

Ryang.

[Ryang]

Say hi to your friend.

He was born the same day that you were born.

Friend?

The prince isn't to be compared with anyone. Watch your tongue.

Forgive me.

Leave us.

Yes, my lord.

Jin, it's Papa.

It's so good to see you.

Yes, Father.

I'm sorry that I'm not always there for you.

Come here. Let me hold you, Precious.

Now, let's pray to Buddha together.

Bow like this.

Now put your hands together.

I ask for health and longevity for the precious gift you've given me.

And I pray for this child to become the ruler of this country.

[Prince Hwangju Kim Jin (Empress Cheonchu and Kim Chi Yang's son)]

Watch over him so he can rise to the throne.

He's the embodiment of Shilla's thousand year dream.

Are you asking me to take full possession of regal powers?

Yes, Your Majesty.

This is an old issue.

Why do you bring this up again?

The circumstances have changed greatly.

Forgive me for saying this,

but back then you were lost and uninterested in state affairs.

But now you're being praised as a benevolent ruler.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The people of Hogyeong can't praise you enough.

At one time, you were a tyrant...

I mean your life style was just a tiny bit undisciplined,

but now you're more than fit to take full possession of regal powers.

What's more, there are no more wars in the foreseeable future.

So it makes no sense for the Empress Dowager to continue the regency, Your Highness.

I agree.

You must request the Empress Dowager to terminate the regency upon your return to Gaegyeong.

But my mother isn't likely to grant that request.

I don't wish to bring up an old issue and stir up trouble.

But you must at least try.

If we keep putting this off,

Kim Chi Yang�s son Prince Hwangju could possibly end up on the throne of Goryeo.

That's absurd! It's unthinkable.

That's why this is so urgent.

Please understand our concern.

Please understand our concern, Your Majesty.

Is there no word of conception from Milhwa?

No, not yet.

What's the problem?

It's been three years.

All that time and she's still not pregnant?

Are you certain that the Emperor sleeps with her?

Yes, there's no mistake about that.

She's the only woman he'll spend his nights with.

Then why hasn't she conceived?

Your Grace,

perhaps we chose the wrong woman for the job.

What else could it be?

Silence!

Yes, sir.

Court Lady Jo could be right.

Either she isn't doing her job or she's infertile.

But we don't have any alternative plans right now.

Let's give it some more time if only for all the time and money we've invested.

I'm going into the palace again today, so we shall see.

Minister Han, didn't you accompany the Emperor to Hogyeong?

I had some important work to do in the Ministry of Finance, so I...

What could be more important than assisting the Emperor?

I believe you've met.

This is the Imperial consort's older brother, Kim Yung Dae.

Yes, I know.

You've been visiting rather often lately.

My sister is lonely in His Majesty's absence,

[Kim Yung Dae]

so I've been keeping her company.

Very well. You may go.

Are those two men close?

I'm not sure, but Minister Han's always with him when he comes into the palace.

Is there something wrong?

No, I was just curious.

Lady Yunheung is getting very anxious.

She has invested a lot of money to get you in here and you're still not pregnant.

I can't get pregnant by myself.

It could be the man who has the problem.

We don't have a lot of time so please wait outside, Minister Han.

Please let me deliver good news soon.

Once you give birth to a son, this empire is yours.

Yes, I know. Please stop nagging.

Keep a sharp lookout.

Yes, my lady.

What are you waiting for?

Let's get it over with.

This is kind of a embarrassing in broad daylight.

Oh, boy...

I'm not getting pregnant because you're always so nervous.

Couldn't they pick a better looking guy to play my brother?

He's so ugly...

[Yu Han Gan]

Hyang Bi.

It's good to see you.

Did you come see the Empress Dowager?

Yes, I bid you greetings.

Prince Hwangju, you're bigger every time I see you.

Children grow up fast.

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

I'll go visit you at home soon.

Okay.

Your Highness, I don't understand.

Terminate the regency?

Sa Illa, would you take the prince outside?

Yes, Your Highness.

The Emperor is a changed man.

He's being praised by public and officials alike.

He's ready to assume full power.

But what about the northern conquest?

What about your dreams?

Are you giving it all up?

The Emperor will inherit my dreams and realize them for me.

No.

I'm sorry, but the Emperor is too fickle to be trusted just yet.

Please reconsider. This is a terrible idea.

Commissioner...

Do you have Prince Hwangju in mind for next throne since the Emperor is still without heir?

I already told you no.

This isn't personal at all.

Then it's settled.

Please don't fight me.

Your Highness.

Then have you been avoiding me because...

That's right.

I'm trying to avoid being misread now that we've a son.

Commissioner,

once I relinquish my powers, I'll return to Hwangju.

And we can finally live a peaceful life together.

So let go of your political ambitions.

That's what's best for the empire and the Emperor.

I saw that man, Mun In Wui, again as I was leaving the palace today.

He's a keeper of Cheonchu Hall, but he's always with the Finance Commissioner.

[Cheon Hyang Bi]

He betrayed Choi Seom for Kim Chi Yang.

What do you expect?

Husband, are you acquainted with the Minister of Personnel?

Kim Shimon?

Yes.

Not really.

Why do you ask?

I've been thinking.

Since he was Choi Seom's son-in-law,

he might know something about what happened at Hangae Temple.

That again?

I told you to forget about that.

I want to but I can't.

Minister Gang is making the necessary preparations to deal with Kim Chi Yang.

So you don't have to worry.

Oh, I saw Prince Hwangju today.

It made me sigh wondering when we're going to have a baby.

The Empress Dowager is anxious too.

Why are you looking at me that way?

Do you want to make a baby?

No, I didn't mean it that way.

Hold the yarn straight.

You're embarrassing me.

But I'm your husband.

This thing can wait.

Come here.

Stop. The yarn will get all tangled up.

So what?

Where you going?

Why are you staring?

I can't help feeling guilty when I look at him.

Guilty?

I've done so many bad things and killed so many people.

I never thought twice about the lives I was taking,

but now I realize how precious life is.

I just hope our child won't be punished for the wrongs I've done...

Don't worry.

You'll never be put in that dangerous position again.

I never want to be.

I just want to live as a mother and wife from now on.

If that's possible...

How did it go?

I can't do this anymore.

I'm a high minister of the state,

and you've me standing guard while a man and woman are fornicating.

I appreciate everything you do.

I don't care.

I don't have the nerve for this.

I really don't want to do this anymore.

It's not working anyway.

Don't get weak on me. You've done well all this time.

I ran into the Empress Dowager with the man today at the palace.

Do you know how scared I was?

Hard work always pays off.

Just imagine what'll happen when the consort gives birth to a prince?

Once the Emperor takes full command of the regime and his son's born...

Your future will be set.

Soon the world will be ours.

So just hang in there.

I don't know how to thank you for your kindness.

No, don't say things like that.

We're brothers, remember?

Thank you, Commissioner.

[Kim Sukheung] [Yang Kyu]

If you ever need us for anything at all,

we'll be at your command.

Would you really?

Not only have you helped us financially with your generosity,

no other civil minister has ever shown such openness to us military officials.

We're grateful to you.

Then would you come to my aid if I ever called on you for help?

Of course.

I'll be at your command whatever you ask.

So will I.

Wow, just hearing those words makes me feel rich.

On that note, let's drink.

My Lord.

My Lord.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but may I speak with you for a moment?

What is it?

There's someone here from the palace who urgently wishes to see you.

[Yi Jujeong]

From the palace?

What are you doing here? You know you can't be seen here.

I'm sorry, but this is urgent.

What is it?

Pardon me.

Are you sure?

Yes, sir.

I've been watching the consort closely as you ordered.

I went to listen in on her conversation with her brother and I learned this.

Unbelievable.

Is this true?

Imperial attendant Yu Han Gan?

Yes, I'm sure it was him.

Whatever they talked about Kim Chi Yang looked shocked.

The Emperor's attendant and Kim Chi Yang speaking in secrecy...

Perhaps Yu Han Gan is spying on the Emperor for Kim Chi Yang.

I'm puzzled how he went from being a traveling entertainer to Imperial attendant.

No.

The Emperor's in Hogyeong right now.

He's not spying on the Emperor.

Then what could the two be up to?

Emperor, welcome back.

I'm glad you made it back from Hogyeong safely.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

You didn't have to come all the way out here to greet me.

How could we sit in the palace when the Emperor is returning after the successful pacification of Hogyeong?

I heard about the high public praises for your work.

I'm very proud of you.

I didn't do much.

What's wrong?

I don't see the Imperial consort.

I'm sorry. She was feeling under the weather.

Is she ill?

His Majesty, the Emperor!

It's alright. Don't get up.

I'm sorry.

I heard you were back but I couldn't go out to greet you.

I wouldn't expect you to. You're ill.

What's her ailment?

What did you just say?

The Imperial consort is with child.

She had conceived the Emperor's child.

Allow me to congratulate you, Your Highness.

I don't believe it.

Is this true?

At last the Emperor will have an heir?

I'm so happy.

I want to carry you on my back and dance around the city.

You've saved this Imperial house.

I'm proud of you. I am.

I don't know what to say.

She has conceived the Emperor's child?

Yes.

Everything will go up in smoke if she delivers a male heir.

No, this is perfect.

Once your child is born, I intend to terminate the regency.

- I don't know what you mean? - I'm entrusting everything to you now.

Are you accusing the mother of my child of committing high treason?

How dare you?!

The child in her belly doesn't carry Your Majesty's blood.
