Episode 3

Repeat yourself. What did you just say?

I said stop.

[Hwang Bo Su (Later Empress Cheonchu)]

The man speaks the truth.

How can you, the Emperor, kill your own people?

(Gyeongjong)

This girl must have lost her marbles! How else could anyone dare?

Your Majesty!

What's wrong with all of you today?

Forgive me, Your Majesty. But please wait a moment.

You look familiar. Are you, by any chance,

the first princess of Myeongbok Palace?

Yes, my name is Hwang Bo Su.

Your Majesty, she's your maternal cousin, the granddaughter of Empress Shinjeong.

What? You?

Why are you among these rebels?

Did your grandmother put you up to this?

Did she tell you to stir up an uprising and drag me down from the throne?!

No, Your Majesty! How could you conceive of that idea?

Then why are you among these rebels and why are you trying to stop me?

Your Majesty, you do not know the truth of what occurred.

Women and children were brutally beaten to death by soldiers.

I was just trying to stop them.

Silence!

Women or children,

they are rebels if I say they are, and they will die if I say die!

- Your Majesty! - Because I am the Emperor!

My words are the law and my wishes are the wishes of Heaven.

And my current wish is to kill all of those rebels.

I'll start with that little one.

Yes, you shall get your wish.

No!

Get out of my way!

Didn't you hear me? I am the Emperor!

I don't care who you are! That child hasn't done anything wrong!

You really have lost your mind. Step aside or I will kill you first.

Do you hear me?!

[Empress Daemok (Gyeongjong's mother)]

Mother!

Mother!

Mother, what took you so long?

Where have you been, Mother?

No, don't go! Don't go!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Please don't go.

Please don't go, Mother!

Your Majesty!

- Your Majesty! - Open your eyes, Your Majesty!

Don't just stand there, call the physician!

Take His Majesty now! Your Majesty!

Mother... Mother...

Whatever do you mean?

(Empress Shinjeong Hwang)

The Emperor fainted because of my granddaughter Su?

Yes, Your Grace.

(Yi Gyeom)

The palace has been turned upside down.

Has she lost her mind?

[Wang Chi (future King Seongjong)]

Why would she get mixed up in this and bring harm to the Emperor?

Where is the child? I must see her at once.

I'm afraid that's not possible. His Majesty has lost consciousness.

Royal Guards are keeping her under careful watch,

and visitors are not being allowed.

She's likely to be charged with high treason.

High treason?

Don't take your eyes off of her.

She is certain to be executed after the Emperor awakens.

Yes, Sir!

That's absurd, Minister Choi.

You're accusing Empress Shinjeong of being behind this?

Do you think it's a coincidence that the Royal Princess got involved in a riot?

There is a plot behind this.

What are you talking about?

A child has made a mistake.

Why are you blowing this way out of proportion?

The child stood before the Emperor and defied him to his face.

What was she counting on?

There may not have been a plot, but the Empress is indeed accountable.

I'm surprised you'd see it that way.

The Emperor has been openly disrespected.

(Park Yang Yu)

This can't be swept under the rug with a slap on the wrist.

I don't think this will end quietly either.

(Choi Seom) (Han Ungong)

When His Majesty awakens, there will be bloodshed.

Oh dear... I fear the tragic atrocities of the previous reign may be repeated.

(During the previous reign, powerful clans were purged by King Gwangjong.)

It's our job to prevent that from happening.

We cannot connect the princess to the Balhaen refugee uprising.

I'm not trying to connect anyone to anything.

But His Majesty fainted because of the princess.

That, in itself, is tantamount to treason.

Treason?! Watch your tongue!

Why are you so jumpy? Is there something you know that I don't?

- What did you say? - Stop! Both of you!

You men are bickering while His Majesty lies unconscious!

This is disrespectful as well!

- Why, I... - Settle down.

(Kim Won Soong)

I don't understand.

Why such strict security measures when the riot has already been suppressed?

(Foreman Jo)

I suppose we will find out something in the morning.

Forget about the slave trading business.

But no other business brings in a greater return on the investment, Sir.

Don't be stupid!

You just poked at a beehive with your greed!

Do you know what a merchant's biggest enemies are?

Wars, riots and rebellions!

You just provoked your enemies.

I'm sorry, Sir.

Remember,

from now on,

we're going to be merchants who buy and sell countries.

And to do that, we must maintain our dignity.

Do you understand me?

Yes, Sir.

Hwang Bo Seol (Later Hyeongjong's mother)

Wang Ook (Prince Gyeongjuwon)

You're awake.

Are you hurt anywhere?

No.

What is your name and which clan do you belong?

Judging by your clothes, you don't look like a commoner.

Are you not a local resident of Seogyeong?

Don't you... recognize me?

Do you know me?

Yes.

How do you know me when I don't know you?

We met at the palace today with my grandmother.

At the palace with your grandmother?

You mean you're Empress Shinjeong's granddaughter?

Yes, my name is Hwang Bo Seol.

Are you really the granddaughter of Empress Shinjeong?

I saw you once, years ago, when you were in diapers.

But you're all grown!

I would've never known who you were, never.

Governor Yi is right, Your Grace. This is a very serious situation.

We don't know how the princess got involved with the Balhaen refugees,

but they are using this incident to go after you.

It's not just the Shillan officials.

Park Yang Yu of the Ministry of Interior,

Han Ungong and Han Ingyeong from the Chancellery are supporting them as well.

I fear there will be trouble once His Majesty awakens.

This is a golden opportunity.

We must remove the root of evil while we've got the chance.

But it's too risky attacking the Empress Dowager directly.

After all, she is the only living dowager of founding King Taejo.

That's right.

(Han Ingyeong) (Han Ungong)

She's an old woman, who will die soon anyway.

The Empress Dowager is not our target.

Then who is?

All we have to do is to get rid of the male heir.

There's only one potential male heir left in Hwangju.

[Wang Chi (Future King Seongjong)]

My Lord! My Lord!

My Lord, Princess Seol is back!

Seol, what happened to you?

Well...

Prince Gyeongjuwon saved me, Brother.

It's been a long time. Do you remember me?

Yes, from years ago.

Where have you been? I was worried sick.

Well, I fainted, and...

Fainted? Are you hurt?

No.

Then...

It was my fault.

If I had known who she was, I would've brought her back sooner.

Is the Empress Dowager inside?

Your Majesty...

(Imperial Palace of Seogyeong)

This old woman has failed to raise her granddaughter properly.

Punish me for my failure and show my granddaughter mercy.

Your Majesty!

Mother, don't go...

Mother...

Don't go...

Mother! Mother!

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty, are you alright?

Water, get me some water.

Your Majesty, how do you feel?

Are you feeling pain anywhere?

Who are these freaks?

Physicians, Your Majesty.

(Goh Hyun)

They've been watching you all night since your collapse.

Idiots...

Pardon?

I got drunk and passed out. What did you watch me for?

Idiots.

Forgive us, Your Majesty.

Get out of here!

What happened to the girl? I'm talking about my cousin.

She has been arrested and placed in confinement.

Call her in at once.

Pardon?

What are you looking at? Didn't you hear me?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, punish my failure and show mercy to the young child!

Grandmother!

Su!

Grandmother!

Su, beg! You must beg for mercy!

Grandmother!

Just get down on your knees and beg. Do you understand?

Do you understand me, Su? Beg! Just beg!

Do you understand me, Su?

Su!

- Grandmother! - Su, just beg!

Just beg! Did you hear me?

Su!

Leave us alone.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Did I not look like the Emperor to you?

It's not like that.

Then, what?

Aren't you afraid of death?

Or did your grandmother teach you to be disrespectful to the Emperor?

Answer my question!

What happened to that feisty spirit on display last night?

I am afraid of death, but I spoke out because I didn't think what you were doing was right.

You didn't think what I was doing was right? You thought the Emperor was wrong?

Yes.

I think there are things that one should and should not do, even the mighty Emperor.

Your Majesty, it is truly fortunate that you are well.

I called you here to listen to your opinions regarding what happened last night.

So, feel free to speak out.

The princess has indeed committed grievous error in her defiance last night.

However, I believe she acted out of compassion to stop the killing of the helpless refugees.

So instead of punishing the princess and the Balhaens,

I believe it would be wiser to show mercy and rule with compassion.

I disagree, Your Majesty.

Along with the Balhaen refugees,

the defiant and disrespectful actions of Hwang Bo Su are unacceptable regardless of her royal status.

(Choi Seom)

She must be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Also, there must be accountability on the part of her family, the royals of Hwangju, as well.

Your Majesty, this incident should not associated with the royals of Hwangju.

Let no connections be made.

And as Lord Seo said, please rule with mercy and compassion.

No, Your Majesty.

This is not a matter to be dealt with lightly.

(Han Ungong) (Han Ingyeong)

I agree, Your Majesty.

Those connected with this incident must be punished to the fullest, regardless of their status.

I agree as well, Your Majesty.

Given that this happened in public for all to see,

an example must be made of this with charges of high treason in demonstration of Your Majesty's austerity.

(Park Yang Yu)

Did you just say high treason?

Yes, Your Majesty.

You won't be satisfied until I kill my own family, like my predecessor did?

Your Majesty, that's not what I...

You're telling me to put my young cousin's blood on my hands!

Forgive me, Your Majesty, that is not what I meant.

Why don't I do it then?

Why don't I wipe out my maternal relatives and kill all of you as well?

That would be fun, wouldn't it?

Your Majesty, but...

I am the Emperor!

Whatever I say goes; I don't want to hear any "buts"!

If you don't like it, you become Emperor.

Who of you wants to be the Emperor?

I'll gladly step down for you.

Who?

Who?!

Who?!!

I don't want to hear another word about my cousin Princess Hwang Bo Su.

If I hear one word about her,

I will rip your mouth from ear to ear.

Got that?

There's something else going on.

What do you mean?

Before His Majesty collapsed last night, he called out "Mother".

I must've been too far away from him to hear it.

Is that true?

Yes, I heard him clearly. He called her "Mother".

No, that can't be...

Could he possibly remember what happened when he was six years old?

That's absurd!

Are you out of your minds?

What you are attempting to bring up is never, ever to be mentioned.

His grandmother could have told him about it for revenge.

Told him? Told him what?

That the officials of Shillan background are responsible for his mother's death.

What?! Who dares to make such accusations?

Do you know what you've done? You could've wiped out this entire clan!

When will you stop behaving like a reckless child?

When? When?

Grandmother, please stop!

Stop now, Grandmother. I'm sure Su has learned her lesson.

And this is my fault for not watching my sister when I was supposed to be.

Why did you do that?

Why would you stand up to the Emperor like that?

I felt sorry for the Balhaen refugees, and before I knew it, I...

That's your reason for committing this huge offense?

Your sympathy is noble, but you know that defying the Emperor is treason.

And rioters must be punished according to the law whether they are refugees or citizens of Goryeo.

But there were innocent women and children among them.

Aren't they descendents of Goguryeo just like you and I?

Aren't they our brothers and sisters?

I don't think it's right to keep hungry refugees just locked up.

You still haven't learned your lesson.

Refugees are not your problem, They're for the government to deal with.

If you ever get yourself involved in things like this again, you'll have me to answer to.

Do you understand?

Sir Gang!

Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?

Because I was sick of roaming this world,

I was going to meet the Lord in the Heavens this time but,

why did you interfere and get me out?

Gang Gamchan

Don't joke about this.

Do you know how worried I was?

If something were to happen to my best friend, how would I go through this empty life?

Prince Gyeongjuwon, I have a favor to ask.

What is it? I've never seen you so serious.

Introduce me to Empress Dowager Shinjeong of Myeongbok Palace.

Why?

I can't be a spectator to Balhaen refugees' suffering anymore.

Something must be done on a fundamental level.

Why do you laugh?

I guess you and I are different after all.

Have you forgotten what we said?

We had vowed to stay away from politics no matter what.

That vow still stands.

I will never involve myself in state affairs again after this.

(Yi Jujeong)

Governor, the Dowager will see you now.

Follow me.

The Emperor ordered you to take this man to Su?

Yes.

I heard Balhaens called you "General".

I should know your background if I am to take you into this family.

(Gang Jo)

My grandfather is...

General Gang Ho of Balhae who couldn't bear the shame of Balhae's

surrender to Khuitan and took his own life.

[*Yer Man Hwa: A Balhaen noble who was the first King of Jeongahn.]

[*Jeongahn: A country established by Balhae refugees halfway up Yalu river.]

After his death, my father spent,

his lifetime helping Emperor *Yer Man Hwa,

build a new state *Jeongahn for our people,

to resettle their roots.

But...

When the Emperor took ill,

a man named Oh Hyunmyeong plotted to take the throne for himself,

and my father lost his life trying to stop him.

I was forced to take my betrothed and her family and leave Jeongahn.

But Oh Hyunmyeong sent his men after us in fear that I would seek revenge.

Fire!

Sister!

Hyangson!

(Cheon Hyangson)

Hyangson!

Hyangson!

And my betrothed and her mother were killed.

My grandfather took his last breath watching Balhae fall,

my father died rebuilding Balhae,

I was betrayed by the state my father had built,

and I had lost my betrothed as well.

When we got out of Jeongahn, we had nowhere to go.

What was once our homeland was now occupied by the Khuitans.

But we couldn't go live under them as Khuitans.

So we headed for Goryeo...

counting on our brother state for help.

That's how we got here.

But when we arrived, we found the Balhaens were no longer your brothers.

We were treated like barbarians invading your territory...

Like animals...

Would you be a faithful servant to Goryeo and to this royal clan,

as your ancestors were to Balhae?

Princess Hwang Bo Su risked her life for me and my people yesterday.

If it weren't for her, all of us would've been killed.

Nothing I can do is enough to satisfy that debt of gratitude.

It's General Gang!

General Gang is back!

General!

(Balhae Refugee Camp)

The child?

Yes, I'll bring her now.

Go on.

They're waiting for you.

Thank you.

General Gang! You're our hero!

General Gang, thank heaven you're all right!

I'm sorry.

No, no, don't say that.

We're glad you are out of here.

They're giving us food. More food now... and it's not too bad.

I'll be back for you.

I'll find a way to free all of you from here.

Thank you. Thank you, General!

Brother! Brother!

(Cheon Hyang Bi)

Balhae had succumbed to the Khuitans in 926.

But its people relentlessly resisted and established Later Balhae along the Yalu.

The death of the Dae Clan King brought an end to Later Balhae,

and Jeongahn Kingdom was established by Yeol Manhwa.

According to the Chronicles of Goryeo, internal divisions in Jeongahn Kingdom,

led tens of thousands of Balhaens to surrender to and seek refuge in Goryeo,

in the 4th year of Gyeongjong's reign.

You mean the Emperor released Su because...

I think she reminded him of departed Empress Daemok.

That's absurd!

He was only six when she died.

He couldn't possibly remember, and Su doesn't look a thing like Daemok.

I ought to know, she was my daughter.

But they have the same spirit.

I felt that about the princess last night when she stood up before the Emperor.

Perhaps that spirit is what the Emperor felt from her.

Your Grace, I think that might be right.

Why else would His Majesty suddenly change,

his mind and grant the princess's requests?

Surely you don't think that he knows the cause of his mother's death.

No one knows.

It will do neither the Shillans nor us any good to divulge the details.

Both sides will get hurt.

Your Grace, what's important is that the Emperor has granted the princess's wish.

He has ruled with compassion for once.

It was as though he was back to the way he was, when he first took the throne.

I don't know how it happened, but the princess has moved the Emperor's heart.

That tomboy Su has moved the Emperor's heart...

Grandmother!

We're back, Grandmother.

Yes, is this the child?

Bid her greetings.

My name is Cheon Hyang Bi. Thank you for taking us in.

His Majesty is returning to Gaegyeong.

Already? But he's only been here two days.

I think the riot has dampened his festive spirit.

Where are the guards? We must see him off.

Now it's my turn to ask questions.

What were you doing in that house and why did you meet with Prince Gyeongjuwon?

(Choi Ryang)

Prince Hwangjuwon...

Yes, I'm Prince Hwangjuwon.

I'm the prince that you taught royal lessons to!

Why are you meeting another prince in secrecy after telling me,

to walk the path of an Emperor?

Lower your voice!

Act like a prince. Why are you getting so upset?

How could I not be upset?

You said the only thing that mattered was who you are, not where you came from.

And I trusted you more than I trust my grandmother.

But I saw you talking to another prince about the throne behind my back.

You do care about where you come from just like the rest of them!

Don't jump to conclusions. You're wrong about this.

It's just...

It's just what?

We are considering all possibilities in the group that I belong to.

That's why I met with Prince Gyeongjuwon.

But you don't have to worry.

Prince Gyeongjuwon has no desire for the throne.

I'm impressed. So your group decides the next emperor?

Your Highness, please don't let your emotions distort your view.

You speak of men who will later be your strongest support.

Without them, you will never be able to build the country you want.

Then where do I stand in that line of possible candidates?

Do I stand a chance?

It's not just any throne, but the throne of the Emperor.

It will take divine assistance.

But if we can turn this country into a land of humanity and justice by

bringing you to the throne, I will do all that is humanly possible to do so.

Can I trust you, Master?

Yes, you can trust me.

What's certain is that I have chosen you, instead of a descendent of Shilla.

Because that's the only way this country can continue its ascension.

Trust me, you will rise to the throne.

Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!

Stop.

Stop.

Thank you for coming out to see me off, esteemed Empress Dowager.

No, I must thank you.

My ill-mannered granddaughter has committed a great offense,

but you have forgiven her with great mercy and kindness.

I cannot thank you enough.

I didn't forgive her because of you, Grandmother, so don't concern yourself.

I know that your name is Su...

and was your name Seol?

Yes, Your Majesty.

It can't be easy living under such exalted grandmother.

Just don't get caught up in wars and futile desires as you go through life.

Let's go.

Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!

Your Highness!

Here we are again, Princess.

Yes, it's good to see you again.

I heard about how you saved my granddaughter from danger.

I meant to pay you a visit to thank you, but I didn't have a chance.

I wasn't the one who spotted our daughter. It was this gentleman.

My name is Gang Gamchan.

How do you know Prince Gyeongjuwon?

He's a friend and a mentor.

Actually, I came here to introduce Sir Gang to you.

To me?

Yes.

Won't you introduce him to a man of influence in the court?

If you're looking for a post in the royal court, the civil service exam is a better route.

I'm not seeking a government post, Your Highness.

I merely wish to offer the officials a few suggestions .

Then I think you should tell me about your background first.

Is there any reason why you can't reveal your background?

My father is Gang Goongjin,

one of King Taejo's noble subjects of the founding kingdom.

Gang Goongjin... the name is familiar.

Don't you recall?

He was killed in connection with Hwangju's Prince Wonnang.

You mean you're the son of Lord Gang of Geumju who died,

in connection with my son?

Yes, I am.

Unbelievable! How could this be?

Where do you live now? Do you have a family?

I have yet to establish a family, drifting through life.

Oh dear, you look well past marrying age.

I suppose you had no chance to marry with your clan shattered to pieces.

Why don't we do this?

You are both currently without permanent homes, so come with me to Hwangju.

Hwangju?

I will prepare quarters in my palace for you. Let us all live there together.

We are the last of the royal clan, and you can't drift forever.

So are you saying Prince Gyeongjuwon is out of the running?

Yes.

He is very adamant and I cannot persuade him.

Then I guess there isn't much we can do.

He is the best candidate in terms of lineage...

There is plenty we can do.

We have to force him to the throne if that's what it takes.

(I Yang) (Choi Ryang)

Minister Choi.

Let's think about this in another way.

We don't need an Emperor of the Gyeongju line to pursue our dreams.

(Kim Chimun) (Seol Shinyu)

Are you going to bring up,

Prince Hwangjuwon again?

Yes.

There is no one better qualified then he in the royal clan.

If he rises to the throne, he is certain to be a benevolent ruler.

But Sir, he's from Hwangju.

The fact that the Empress Dowager Shinjeong's clan is behind him,

makes him too removed from us.

But he shares our views and opinions. Similar to you being born

in Naju, but sharing the Lords from Hwangju's point of view.

You can't compare a powerless clan like mine to his clan.

The Hwang Bo clan is no ordinary clan.

[*Pehgangjin: present Pyoungsan region of Hwanghwe province.]

They controlled the entire,

*Pehgangjin since the days of King Taejo.

They have nothing in common,

in terms of background and origin, with us native Shillan officials.

I'm asking all of you to set background and origin aside.

If you care about the country, there's no one better than Prince Hwangjuwon.

Please stop, Sir Choi.

We are their enemy no matter how you look at this.

Have you forgotten who killed Hwangjuwon's father?

You went into their palace so you could keep an eye on them and keep us informed.

And here you are suggesting that we embrace a tiger cub?

An animal, which poses a danger, should be killed.

Do you understand?

Prince Hwangjuwon is not an animal.

He will be a benevolent King who puts an end to conflict and division and,

brings this country up on solid foundation.

I have conviction.

I don't.

You don't know what's going on in the royal court.

We're standing on dangerous ground.

The day that Hwangju rises to power is the day we all will die.

If I had to choose him, I'd rather...

You'd rather what?

I-I beg your pardon?

We might have to hit the Imperial Palace.

Are you talking about an overthrow right now?

Isn't that why we built this secret army in the first place?

That's if and when we've exhausted all other options.

No, I can't go along with it.

Lord Kim, did I not tell you?

The Emperor is leaning toward Hwangju.

Why else would he come here to Seogyeong and why else would he,

forgive the princess of Hwangju who defied him publicly?

Be that as it may, I can't take this kind of risk based on your speculation.

Let's stick to our original plan.

Didn't you say you already made a deal with the Empress?

Even if your daughter enters the palace, it won't be easy to win the Emperor's heart.

He already has hundreds of court ladies around him.

You'll see, my daughter is different.

I don't engage in a fight I can't win.

If we must take up arms, we will do it when I'm certain I can succeed.

Now is not the time. Not even close.

Sister! Sister!

Catch your breath before you faint. What is it?

It's him. He's going to come live with us in Hwangju!

Him? Who are you talking about?

Prince Gyeongjuwon.

He and his friend will come live with us at home!

Who told you that?

Steward Yi told me.

That's great.

But Chi got angry when I told him, and went to talk with Grandmother.

Chi?

I oppose.

Why are you trying to bring dangerous characters into our household?

Dangerous characters?

First a Balhaen refugee that started the riot, and now it's Prince Gyeongjuwon.

Is that what worries you?

Yes, he's a descendent of Shillan origin, which you despise.

And I know that some Shillans are trying to bring him to the throne.

What's more, His Majesty was quite friendly with him.

He could be our most dangerous enemy.

You have a long way to go.

I'm trying to keep him close because he is dangerous.

If indeed men are trying to bring him to the throne,

we need him close to keep a watchful eye.

I still don't feel comfortable.

The man he brought with him is also the son of a traitor.

Watch what you're saying.

Who are you calling a traitor?

The departed Emperor said...

Is everyone a traitor who the departed Emperor says was one?

Then is your departed father a traitor as well?

Less than forty noble subjects and lords survived the purging of the previous reign.

Do you think all of those who died were traitors?

Who would say such a thing? Is that what your master taught you?

I'm sorry, Grandmother.

I was just concerned for the clan.

What are you girls doing out here?

I'm sorry, Brother. We were just curious...

Curious about what?

Su.

Come with me.

I'm sorry, Grandmother.

We weren't trying to eavesdrop. We were just curious...

How much of our conversation did you hear?

We didn't hear anything.

We had just gotten there when Brother...

Did you hear us talking about your father?

Our father? No.

Did you talk about our father?

Good then.

I'm sorry, Grandmother.

I will never listen in on your conversation again.

Su...

How do you feel about getting married?

Married?

Yes, to the Emperor.

Princess's kindness... I'll never forget it.

Who's going to be the Queen?

The King's future wife is from a family of merchants?

You're... offering me your daughter?

The Shilla faction's target is... Prince of Hwangju.

The day the King's new wife gets pregnant...

Prince of Hwangju will die.

After letting my mother die like that... are you getting greedy again?

Give the hand of your granddaughter to me.

Send both of them while you're at it.

BOTH OF THEM!!

You brother could even die!

If it's with Your Highness...

I would go anywhere.

I don't want to go to the Imperial Palace.

This is all I have to give to you.

I'm not going to worry.

Su...
