Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:13,257 --> 00:00:18,295
I will not give up the Jurchen
open immigration policy!
2
00:00:18,296 --> 00:00:20,331
You must!
3
00:00:27,706 --> 00:00:29,573
Abolish the military farms and
4
00:00:29,574 --> 00:00:32,243
turn them over to the people
of the northern three states!
5
00:00:32,244 --> 00:00:34,345
No!
6
00:00:40,251 --> 00:00:42,019
I will push the tax reform forward,
7
00:00:42,020 --> 00:00:45,156
and tighten regulations
against the landed gentry.
8
00:00:45,157 --> 00:00:51,128
No!
No, Your Majesty!
9
00:01:01,373 --> 00:01:04,408
The King is ruining this country.
10
00:01:07,412 --> 00:01:12,483
It's time to clear your
path to the throne.
11
00:01:20,625 --> 00:01:23,094
Jo Malseng...
12
00:03:00,425 --> 00:03:04,261
Are you the one that asked to see me?
13
00:03:04,262 --> 00:03:09,433
What do I call you now that
you're in such fancy clothes?
14
00:03:13,371 --> 00:03:16,407
Just call me Uncle like you used to.
15
00:03:19,311 --> 00:03:22,980
Oh boy, are those tears?
16
00:03:24,015 --> 00:03:28,986
It's not easy with the local people
hounding on you guys, is it?
17
00:03:28,987 --> 00:03:30,454
No.
18
00:03:32,991 --> 00:03:37,127
That's why I'm going to stop them now.
19
00:03:48,540 --> 00:03:50,907
Who are these men?
20
00:04:09,728 --> 00:04:12,395
These men work in this organization,
do they not?
21
00:04:24,242 --> 00:04:26,076
- Get them!
- Yes, sir!
22
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:34,952
Let go!
Let go of me!
23
00:04:42,427 --> 00:04:43,960
Are you crazy?
24
00:04:43,961 --> 00:04:47,398
Don't you know what will
happen to Omakji if he turns them in?
25
00:04:50,835 --> 00:04:52,536
I know.
26
00:04:55,507 --> 00:04:56,674
What's this?
27
00:04:56,675 --> 00:04:57,975
Let go.
28
00:04:57,976 --> 00:04:59,476
Stop whatever it is your doing!
29
00:04:59,477 --> 00:05:01,879
This kid deserves to be beaten.
30
00:05:02,914 --> 00:05:06,282
If you knew what he's done...
31
00:05:06,283 --> 00:05:11,055
I would've done the same thing
if I were Omakji.
32
00:05:12,824 --> 00:05:14,858
That's why I drew the sketches for him.
33
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,549
You did the right thing turning them in,
but you're an accomplice as well.
34
00:05:41,553 --> 00:05:46,256
I won't be able to protect you.
35
00:05:46,257 --> 00:05:48,092
That's okay.
36
00:06:02,374 --> 00:06:03,907
It's potassium nitrate alright.
37
00:06:05,343 --> 00:06:08,811
Process the evidence and send
them over to the Royal Investigator's Office.
38
00:06:09,447 --> 00:06:14,284
But we don't know anything.
We just did what the boss told us...
39
00:06:15,387 --> 00:06:17,354
Where is Jang Wonman?
40
00:06:21,826 --> 00:06:23,127
Arrest them!
41
00:06:24,796 --> 00:06:27,998
Let go of me!
Let go!
42
00:06:38,743 --> 00:06:41,011
Jang Wonman and
43
00:06:41,012 --> 00:06:48,118
Kim Doryeon, you're under arrest for
possession of illegal weapons and arson.
44
00:06:51,790 --> 00:06:53,357
Take them away!
45
00:06:53,358 --> 00:06:56,160
I'm not the man you want!
There's someone else behind those fires!
46
00:06:58,063 --> 00:07:01,031
It's Jo Malseng!
I'm innocent!
47
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,269
I'm innocent!
48
00:07:30,328 --> 00:07:35,833
Just as I thought,
you don't have what it takes to be the King.
49
00:07:40,003 --> 00:07:44,808
I will not be your puppet anymore.
50
00:08:06,264 --> 00:08:08,031
Secretary Yun.
51
00:08:09,467 --> 00:08:11,401
Yes, Your Majesty.
52
00:08:11,402 --> 00:08:13,704
Clear the yard.
53
00:08:15,406 --> 00:08:18,142
But...
54
00:09:06,291 --> 00:09:07,658
What is the meaning of this?
55
00:09:07,659 --> 00:09:10,894
I'll go with you.
Take me instead!
56
00:09:13,364 --> 00:09:15,499
- Stop this.
- Stay out of it!
57
00:09:17,235 --> 00:09:18,168
Dami.
58
00:09:18,169 --> 00:09:21,605
Then let me go with him.
59
00:09:21,606 --> 00:09:22,906
Are you crazy?
60
00:09:23,708 --> 00:09:25,209
Do you want to die?
61
00:09:25,210 --> 00:09:28,579
Yeah, I do.
So what?
62
00:09:28,580 --> 00:09:34,585
Did you forget the promise?
63
00:09:35,687 --> 00:09:42,659
What did we say when we lost our parents
and became orphans on the same day?
64
00:09:44,829 --> 00:09:50,033
"We live together and die together"!
65
00:09:50,034 --> 00:09:52,302
That's why I'm doing this.
66
00:09:52,303 --> 00:09:54,571
You bastard!
67
00:09:54,572 --> 00:10:01,144
I can't make you and everyone else
public enemies just so I can live.
68
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:07,784
I couldn't live like that.
69
00:10:07,785 --> 00:10:10,187
Shut up!
70
00:10:11,455 --> 00:10:19,529
I know how you feel, so let me go.
71
00:10:21,132 --> 00:10:26,169
I'd rather live one day with
dignity than a lifetime without it.
72
00:10:43,488 --> 00:10:45,122
Let's go.
73
00:11:00,538 --> 00:11:03,273
Let go! Let go of me!
74
00:11:03,274 --> 00:11:04,074
Calm down!
75
00:11:04,075 --> 00:11:12,582
Come back here, you jerk!
You think you're tough?
76
00:11:18,455 --> 00:11:24,361
Come back here...
77
00:11:28,933 --> 00:11:32,669
You're the one acting tough.
78
00:11:44,515 --> 00:11:49,720
Take care of her.
79
00:11:51,789 --> 00:11:58,595
She acts strong, but she's
got a really soft heart.
80
00:12:22,787 --> 00:12:25,055
Don't go...
81
00:12:36,868 --> 00:12:39,269
Don't go!
82
00:12:40,204 --> 00:12:45,942
You're going to die, you idiot!
83
00:13:18,575 --> 00:13:23,580
You'll have to die now.
84
00:13:27,652 --> 00:13:29,519
Are you afraid?
85
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,527
Call off the troops at once.
86
00:13:37,528 --> 00:13:43,099
Issue an order and stop the regional
forces you were sending up o the capital!
87
00:13:45,636 --> 00:13:49,406
What does this mean?
88
00:13:49,407 --> 00:13:56,646
It means I'm going to let you live
if you undo what you've done.
89
00:13:58,683 --> 00:14:02,152
Is it because of Kyoungnyeong?
90
00:14:02,153 --> 00:14:07,691
You're sparing me so you
could save your half-brother?
91
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:21,238
You're an amazing man.
92
00:14:21,239 --> 00:14:27,744
You have the nerve to
banter at a time like this.
93
00:14:31,649 --> 00:14:34,518
The fires have put enough
fear into the public.
94
00:14:34,519 --> 00:14:39,256
I do not wish to add
sedition to their anxiety.
95
00:14:42,293 --> 00:14:44,995
Now choose.
96
00:14:46,063 --> 00:14:54,838
Will you undo what you've
done or will you die?
97
00:14:56,807 --> 00:15:00,210
Jo Malseng must die!
98
00:15:04,649 --> 00:15:08,151
Arrest him and execute him right now.
99
00:15:09,053 --> 00:15:09,953
Calm down.
100
00:15:09,954 --> 00:15:12,022
I can't calm down.
101
00:15:12,023 --> 00:15:17,360
Don't you know how many innocent
people have died because of him?
102
00:15:19,697 --> 00:15:25,669
Arson is not the only reason
Jo Malseng should be put to death.
103
00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:30,173
Did you find any other evidence?
104
00:15:30,174 --> 00:15:33,143
They were keeping two sets of books.
105
00:15:35,646 --> 00:15:40,183
Gim Doryeon handled all of
the rebates paid to Jo Malseng.
106
00:15:40,184 --> 00:15:45,221
This is a record of "gifts" Jo Malseng
got selling government posts.
107
00:15:46,090 --> 00:15:49,693
From land to silver, there's
a wide variety of valuables.
108
00:15:49,694 --> 00:15:54,064
These are files on merchants that mostly
109
00:15:54,065 --> 00:15:59,436
deal in the northern region that
Jo Malseng is getting paid to protect.
110
00:16:00,671 --> 00:16:04,207
And it looks like these guys
pay him more than anyone else.
111
00:16:06,010 --> 00:16:08,778
Care to explain why?
112
00:16:09,779 --> 00:16:14,985
He lets us take the Jurchen barbarians who
113
00:16:14,986 --> 00:16:19,422
are captured crossing the border
into Joseon and trade the as slaves.
114
00:16:19,423 --> 00:16:23,093
Slave trading is the best business there is.
115
00:16:23,094 --> 00:16:25,161
You can make a killing
with little or nothing.
116
00:16:25,162 --> 00:16:28,264
Jang Wonman, you fool!
117
00:16:32,003 --> 00:16:35,972
He's amassed a whopping 780 guans
of silver in this manner.
118
00:16:35,973 --> 00:16:40,877
The standard for a death sentence in
the Laws of the Great Ming is 80 guans...
119
00:16:40,878 --> 00:16:43,546
So that's...
120
00:16:43,547 --> 00:16:46,249
enough to seek ten death sentences.
121
00:16:46,250 --> 00:16:52,756
In other words, he's a dead man
with or without the arson charge.
122
00:17:00,131 --> 00:17:03,700
What are we waiting for?
123
00:17:05,469 --> 00:17:12,876
Can we take care of this before
other military leaders find out?
124
00:17:18,182 --> 00:17:21,351
Arrest Jo Malseng at once!
125
00:17:28,693 --> 00:17:31,761
The Royal Inspector has issued
a warrant for his arrest?
126
00:17:32,922 --> 00:17:35,279
On account of
the arsonists being captured...
127
00:17:35,869 --> 00:17:39,948
But haven't they already confirmed
this man is not behind the fires?
128
00:17:42,206 --> 00:17:47,243
He's not being charged
with arson, Your Majesty.
129
00:17:53,150 --> 00:17:55,719
Jo Malseng is not at his home?
130
00:17:56,887 --> 00:17:59,456
You mean he's fled?
131
00:17:59,457 --> 00:18:01,490
Information has leaked again?
132
00:18:02,793 --> 00:18:08,031
Now he might attempt to move
his close aides in the military.
133
00:18:08,032 --> 00:18:10,667
We must report this to the King.
134
00:18:10,668 --> 00:18:14,137
I've already sent a confidential memo to
the Royal Secretariat.
135
00:18:14,138 --> 00:18:17,941
And you haven't heard back?
136
00:18:18,808 --> 00:18:23,113
Shouldn't we
declare martial law of something?
137
00:18:23,114 --> 00:18:24,647
Don't be stupid.
138
00:18:24,648 --> 00:18:28,151
Declaring martial law would only
give the military more power.
139
00:18:28,152 --> 00:18:32,756
The Right and the Central Army
can join forces and suppress them.
140
00:18:33,591 --> 00:18:36,459
Do you know what you
are describing right now?
141
00:18:38,062 --> 00:18:40,663
It's called a civil war.
142
00:18:53,377 --> 00:18:55,845
What were you planning to
do with so much money?
143
00:18:58,516 --> 00:19:01,284
What are you?
144
00:19:07,558 --> 00:19:10,527
How far were you going to go?
145
00:19:10,528 --> 00:19:15,498
Those you sell government posts
to become instrument of tyranny,
146
00:19:15,499 --> 00:19:17,432
and the people suffer as a result!
147
00:19:17,433 --> 00:19:19,102
Don't you know that?
148
00:19:24,708 --> 00:19:28,478
Security, security, security!
149
00:19:28,479 --> 00:19:32,415
You used security to threaten
me over and over again.
150
00:19:32,416 --> 00:19:41,424
But the man who puts national
security above his own life has
151
00:19:41,425 --> 00:19:44,928
tried to take the troops away
from the northern borders.
152
00:19:44,929 --> 00:19:48,198
You don't care what happens.
Is that it?
153
00:19:48,199 --> 00:19:54,437
You'll risk ruining the country to
steal the throne and rise to power?
154
00:20:01,779 --> 00:20:07,650
This is my country as well.
155
00:20:11,154 --> 00:20:19,461
National security, especially the
northern borders, is not at risk.
156
00:20:23,968 --> 00:20:27,403
A rebellion is brewing in Ming.
157
00:20:27,504 --> 00:20:29,772
Zhu Gaoxu, the Emperors uncle,
158
00:20:29,773 --> 00:20:33,076
the late Emperor Yongle's
brother, is the leader.
159
00:20:34,378 --> 00:20:37,447
Jurchen leader Li Manzhu
his joined hands with him,
160
00:20:37,448 --> 00:20:42,585
so the Jurchen army will be
heading to Ming, not to Joseon.
161
00:20:55,366 --> 00:20:57,734
Do as you see fit.
162
00:21:10,447 --> 00:21:21,958
If you take care of me, you will
be the de facto leader of Liaodong.
163
00:22:07,438 --> 00:22:10,373
I come in the name of the Emperor.
164
00:22:11,408 --> 00:22:13,276
Kill me and get it over with!
165
00:22:14,678 --> 00:22:16,211
I couldn't do that.
166
00:22:16,212 --> 00:22:19,749
I am loyal to the Imperial House.
167
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:28,925
You need a stronger punishment
for losing sight of who you are.
168
00:22:33,964 --> 00:22:36,132
Treat him gently!
169
00:22:43,273 --> 00:22:45,141
My lord!
170
00:22:51,615 --> 00:22:53,115
My lord!
171
00:22:58,654 --> 00:23:02,091
Loss of an uncle is too great for the Emperor
172
00:23:02,092 --> 00:23:04,427
to deal with a petty barbarian like you.
173
00:23:04,428 --> 00:23:06,195
Consider yourself lucky.
174
00:23:29,153 --> 00:23:33,489
Jo Malseng, was it?
175
00:23:34,358 --> 00:23:38,127
Joseon's Minister of Military?
176
00:23:40,864 --> 00:23:42,732
Tell me about him.
177
00:23:47,304 --> 00:23:50,073
Is he capable of giving absolute
loyalty to Great Ming?
178
00:23:50,774 --> 00:23:53,242
Your plate is full with
domestic problems alone.
179
00:23:53,243 --> 00:23:54,944
We can take our time and...
180
00:24:21,738 --> 00:24:23,739
Small China.
181
00:24:23,740 --> 00:24:28,911
The world calls Joseon "Small China".
182
00:24:28,912 --> 00:24:31,047
Do you know that?
183
00:24:31,048 --> 00:24:35,852
Perhaps it's because they accept everyone
with open arms from Jurchens
184
00:24:35,853 --> 00:24:43,192
to Ming Chinese who cross the border
to escape our domestic situation.
185
00:24:45,529 --> 00:24:48,431
Joseon is Small China.
186
00:24:48,432 --> 00:24:52,268
Do you think this is a good thing?
187
00:24:59,776 --> 00:25:07,416
You have to be able to see at least
two moves ahead to be a Dongchang.
188
00:25:18,462 --> 00:25:23,799
Include Jo Malseng in the
next diplomatic mission.
189
00:25:35,812 --> 00:25:42,185
It's a shame that I do
not have your loyalty.
190
00:25:45,722 --> 00:25:51,460
What do you think should
happen to you now?
191
00:25:55,432 --> 00:26:02,271
My wish is to be executed
in front of my subordinates.
192
00:26:05,075 --> 00:26:11,714
How about vowing loyalty to
me and pleading for mercy?
193
00:26:11,715 --> 00:26:14,450
I have no such desire.
194
00:26:16,019 --> 00:26:22,725
Your Majesty's idea of Joseon is
too far from my idea of Joseon.
195
00:26:25,696 --> 00:26:31,133
Kill me before my men.
196
00:26:32,068 --> 00:26:40,776
Punish me and teach them a lesson
so they will not attempt to defy you.
197
00:26:41,645 --> 00:26:44,780
This is the only way to prevent a civil war.
198
00:26:48,885 --> 00:27:02,765
This is my last loyal act to my country.
199
00:27:12,776 --> 00:27:17,046
Your wish will be granted.
200
00:28:28,752 --> 00:28:32,188
Minister Jo will send word soon.
201
00:28:32,189 --> 00:28:38,494
I will relay his order the moment I hear
from him, so keep your troops on alert.
202
00:28:39,563 --> 00:28:43,032
Is this a coup?
203
00:28:43,033 --> 00:28:43,966
Naturally.
204
00:28:46,803 --> 00:28:53,642
We are one with Minister Jo,
so we will live and die together.
205
00:29:02,719 --> 00:29:04,453
It's an order from the Minister of Military.
206
00:29:18,602 --> 00:29:24,573
Your Majesty, a warrant must be
issued for Jo Malseng's arrest.
207
00:29:24,574 --> 00:29:30,146
Jo Malseng is under my protection.
208
00:29:30,147 --> 00:29:34,750
Protection?
What do you mean, Your Majesty?
209
00:29:35,652 --> 00:29:37,887
Does it require an explanation?
210
00:29:42,826 --> 00:29:45,428
He must not be protected, Your Majesty.
211
00:29:45,429 --> 00:29:48,030
He must be arrested
and put to death without delay.
212
00:29:48,031 --> 00:29:49,999
I agree, Your Majesty.
213
00:29:51,001 --> 00:29:52,868
I will not allow it.
214
00:29:53,670 --> 00:29:57,473
He is the man behind the fires.
215
00:29:58,508 --> 00:30:00,676
You have the facts wrong.
216
00:30:00,677 --> 00:30:06,048
He's committed enough felonies
to warrant ten death sentences!
217
00:30:06,049 --> 00:30:10,286
He must be executed!
218
00:30:10,287 --> 00:30:13,422
His assets will be confiscated and
absorbed by the national treasury,
219
00:30:13,423 --> 00:30:18,194
and Jo Malseng will be punished by exile.
220
00:30:18,195 --> 00:30:20,463
No, Your Majesty!
221
00:30:20,464 --> 00:30:24,900
I will exercise prerogative power
to protect Jo Malseng if necessary,
222
00:30:24,901 --> 00:30:29,472
so do not fight me on this.
223
00:31:00,170 --> 00:31:03,272
Officials will oppose fiercely.
224
00:31:04,207 --> 00:31:09,979
If you are doing this for me,
you shouldn't.
225
00:31:11,414 --> 00:31:15,918
You changed your mind at the last minute.
226
00:31:15,919 --> 00:31:19,288
What does that mean?
227
00:31:20,924 --> 00:31:27,730
It means you and I had built enough
trust for one another to take a step
228
00:31:27,731 --> 00:31:32,234
back and think about each other
at least once before it's too late.
229
00:31:36,907 --> 00:31:41,210
But what about Jo Malseng?
230
00:31:42,245 --> 00:31:46,448
I was always busy guarding against him
231
00:31:46,449 --> 00:31:50,286
to think about embracing him
and reasoning with him.
232
00:31:51,588 --> 00:31:53,022
Your Majesty...
233
00:31:54,057 --> 00:31:58,928
"Love your men and they
will return it with trust."
234
00:31:59,996 --> 00:32:05,434
It's an old saying that
I once said to Father.
235
00:32:05,435 --> 00:32:10,506
It's time for me to put it to practice.
236
00:32:16,046 --> 00:32:22,885
Return, good government!
237
00:32:22,886 --> 00:32:27,890
Return, good government!
238
00:32:27,891 --> 00:32:31,393
Get down here at once!
239
00:32:37,133 --> 00:32:40,469
This government is descending once again.
240
00:32:40,470 --> 00:32:46,108
We must dissuade the King who
ignores laws and due process
241
00:32:46,109 --> 00:32:50,079
and seeks to protect a criminal
with irrefutable proof of crime.
242
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:55,150
This is the only way to revive
this government.
243
00:32:56,052 --> 00:33:12,968
Return, good government!
244
00:33:17,706 --> 00:33:19,875
His Majesty sent this for you.
245
00:33:22,178 --> 00:33:24,146
We brought you plenty of paper, too.
246
00:33:31,621 --> 00:33:34,455
He was very pleased with
your pictorial reports.
247
00:33:35,625 --> 00:33:38,627
He wants you to keep them coming.
248
00:33:53,209 --> 00:33:55,678
I wish he had sent them sooner.
249
00:33:55,679 --> 00:34:00,182
Then he could've used them to draw this.
250
00:34:02,652 --> 00:34:04,553
What's that?
251
00:34:08,224 --> 00:34:10,059
It's a petition.
252
00:34:10,060 --> 00:34:12,528
What's the complaint this time?
253
00:34:41,224 --> 00:34:43,158
What is the meaning of this?
254
00:34:52,469 --> 00:34:57,506
It means the Hall of Worthies will not
contribute to the King's work anymore.
255
00:34:58,374 --> 00:35:04,312
I don't agree with the King either,
but burning books is no way to react!
256
00:35:04,313 --> 00:35:07,916
For a tyrant, books are nothing
but decorations on the wall.
257
00:35:18,293 --> 00:35:20,596
Do you think you'll get away with this?
258
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:24,466
Of course not.
259
00:35:38,581 --> 00:35:41,984
Choi Manli submitted a resignation?
260
00:35:53,596 --> 00:35:55,731
Reason with him.
261
00:35:55,732 --> 00:35:58,700
And process the resignation
if it doesn't work.
262
00:35:58,701 --> 00:36:02,571
Choi Manli is a talented
man with a bright future.
263
00:36:03,540 --> 00:36:10,379
I'm sure you will agree that
Jo Malseng is a talented man as well.
264
00:36:31,568 --> 00:36:37,973
I thought the scholars would
support you if no one else.
265
00:36:40,543 --> 00:36:43,745
Is there anything I can do to help?
266
00:36:54,456 --> 00:36:58,260
This must be so distressful...
267
00:36:59,629 --> 00:37:03,599
Don't be overly concerned.
268
00:37:12,475 --> 00:37:17,946
I've come to pay you back
for sparing my son's life.
269
00:37:17,947 --> 00:37:23,318
Please tell me what I can do.
270
00:37:27,790 --> 00:37:31,627
Please don't cry.
271
00:37:33,596 --> 00:37:44,840
I feel like a bad son as it is for not taking
better care of you since Father passed.
272
00:37:46,209 --> 00:37:51,747
Did you say "son"?
273
00:37:51,748 --> 00:37:58,220
My brother's mother is my mother as well.
274
00:38:06,629 --> 00:38:11,333
You're two years younger
than Kyoungnyeong,
275
00:38:11,334 --> 00:38:14,603
so that makes you only
twenty-eight this year.
276
00:38:15,938 --> 00:38:22,878
It's an age still too young
to bear the whole country,
277
00:38:22,879 --> 00:38:35,924
but I made your load even heavier with
my blind selfishness, Your Majesty...
278
00:38:43,933 --> 00:38:47,936
Please don't cry.
279
00:38:51,841 --> 00:38:57,812
Kyoungnyeong has a wonderful brother.
280
00:39:02,151 --> 00:39:07,888
My tears will be yours until the day I die.
281
00:39:07,889 --> 00:39:18,100
Tears of a mother who wishes safety
and wellbeing of her son the King that
282
00:39:18,101 --> 00:39:25,407
loves his people as he loves his brothers
that is all I have to give you, Your Majesty.
283
00:40:34,010 --> 00:40:38,446
Are you helping the fire victims now?
284
00:40:39,282 --> 00:40:43,852
Perhaps it will reduce the public
grievance against the King a little.
285
00:40:45,888 --> 00:40:47,756
You look good.
286
00:40:48,825 --> 00:40:51,225
Were you embittered?
287
00:40:51,226 --> 00:40:52,961
Father loved
288
00:40:52,962 --> 00:40:56,965
you more than he loved me or
Choongnyeong when we were young.
289
00:40:57,867 --> 00:41:00,035
I think he even said
290
00:41:00,036 --> 00:41:05,540
once that you were King material if only
you hadn't been born of a concubine.
291
00:41:05,541 --> 00:41:08,176
If I had made it to the throne,
292
00:41:08,177 --> 00:41:11,780
Jo Malseng would be the one
holding the sword handle.
293
00:41:12,849 --> 00:41:18,987
I would be holding the blade,
trying not to get hurt, and killing
294
00:41:18,988 --> 00:41:24,993
everyone that stood in his way
as he swung the sword around.
295
00:41:27,029 --> 00:41:30,499
That wouldn't have been good.
296
00:41:33,402 --> 00:41:36,771
What was your reason?
297
00:41:37,773 --> 00:41:43,378
Father had chosen you before
he chose Choongnyeong.
298
00:41:44,981 --> 00:41:52,020
Because I was not the wise one.
I was too clean to be the wise one.
299
00:41:58,094 --> 00:42:00,762
You're not the one.
300
00:42:00,763 --> 00:42:07,602
You're not the wise one.
You're too clean to be the wise one.
301
00:42:09,038 --> 00:42:13,275
You don't have a scratch on you
because you always take the safe path.
302
00:42:15,311 --> 00:42:19,814
The wise one I know has to
be a hundred times rougher.
303
00:42:21,350 --> 00:42:28,657
One who isn't afraid to get hurt for
his purpose-that's the wise one.
304
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:37,699
Life isn't easy for either of us.
305
00:42:39,202 --> 00:42:44,071
Because those who distrust the King
repeatedly bait us with the throne
306
00:42:44,072 --> 00:42:47,943
for the sole reason that
we are Royal Princes.
307
00:42:54,050 --> 00:42:57,586
Don't forget who you are from now on.
308
00:42:58,354 --> 00:43:03,692
Staying firmly behind the King and
reaching out to places and people
309
00:43:03,693 --> 00:43:10,031
that King's hands do not reach
I think that is our role as princes.
310
00:44:45,661 --> 00:44:47,428
How are you?
311
00:44:56,405 --> 00:45:01,442
You became a regular farmer in
the few days I haven't seen you.
312
00:45:01,443 --> 00:45:05,847
If you're here to talk me into
going back, you should leave.
313
00:45:06,949 --> 00:45:09,417
We need you at the Hall of Worthies.
314
00:45:09,418 --> 00:45:10,350
I'm not going back.
315
00:45:10,351 --> 00:45:13,687
A tyrant does not tolerate opposition.
316
00:45:14,953 --> 00:45:21,863
By sparing Jo Malseng, the King is
showing me and everyone else who resist
317
00:45:21,864 --> 00:45:27,268
his reform that no one will be killed
no matter how strongly we oppose.
318
00:45:28,737 --> 00:45:30,304
Please leave.
319
00:45:30,305 --> 00:45:41,649
A King who protects his political
enemy albeit at the cost of aide
320
00:45:41,650 --> 00:45:45,620
the world calls him benevolent King.
321
00:46:20,522 --> 00:46:22,556
Why don't you have a drink with me?
322
00:46:25,092 --> 00:46:27,461
I don't drink when I'm working.
323
00:46:29,031 --> 00:46:30,798
Working?
324
00:46:31,934 --> 00:46:37,939
Pointing out the King's wrong doing is
the most important work I will ever do.
325
00:46:38,974 --> 00:46:43,644
If you don't want to drink,
how about this?
326
00:46:45,380 --> 00:46:52,653
It's from the northerners.
I'd like you to see it.
327
00:48:01,156 --> 00:48:09,730
They want a world where we can all
laugh and live together in harmony.
328
00:48:13,368 --> 00:48:19,840
The northern states are
under constant threat of war.
329
00:48:19,841 --> 00:48:24,011
And if a war breaks out,
there is no laughter.
330
00:48:26,882 --> 00:48:33,888
If a man has smallest amount
of ability that could contribute to
331
00:48:33,889 --> 00:48:40,161
preserving that laughter,
I cannot give him up.
332
00:48:46,068 --> 00:48:50,404
Can't we give him a little time?
333
00:48:51,406 --> 00:49:00,247
If he does not repent and it becomes
clear that he cannot be a true servant
334
00:49:00,248 --> 00:49:05,219
of Joseon, I will give up
on Jo Malseng then.
335
00:49:22,604 --> 00:49:26,540
Why did you call off the troops, sir?
336
00:49:26,541 --> 00:49:29,109
Just keep the country safe.
337
00:50:03,845 --> 00:50:06,814
You look like a happy camper.
338
00:50:08,650 --> 00:50:16,724
If you know what honor is,
you would take your own life right now.
339
00:50:18,927 --> 00:50:20,561
Do it.
340
00:50:21,596 --> 00:50:26,533
If you don't have the guts,
I'll do it for you.
341
00:50:26,534 --> 00:50:30,471
A bird is a bird even if it has lost its wings.
342
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,575
You think you'll be able to fly again?
343
00:50:34,576 --> 00:50:38,946
Someday I will, as long as I am alive.
344
00:50:38,947 --> 00:50:41,549
You bastard!
345
00:50:41,550 --> 00:50:45,753
Then smarten up and your job right, fool!
346
00:50:45,754 --> 00:50:50,958
Because carelessness and stupidity
of you Hall of Worthies scholars will
347
00:50:50,959 --> 00:50:55,829
be the first reason for me to
fix my wings and come back.
348
00:50:55,830 --> 00:51:03,237
And if I do come back, I intend to
crush you and the King to the bone.
349
00:51:06,141 --> 00:51:07,408
Get him off!
350
00:52:02,430 --> 00:52:08,969
You seemed saddened by the burned
books, so I re-scribed them for you.
351
00:52:10,338 --> 00:52:12,840
You mean you had these
books memorized by heart?
352
00:52:13,808 --> 00:52:17,578
Luckily, only the ones I had
memorized were destroyed.
353
00:52:18,947 --> 00:52:21,882
Or maybe you destroyed only
the ones you memorized.
354
00:52:25,487 --> 00:52:27,354
Are you back with us?
355
00:52:27,355 --> 00:52:30,491
I'm not back because I think you're right.
356
00:52:30,492 --> 00:52:38,198
I'm back because I'm confident
I can fight you and win.
357
00:52:40,235 --> 00:52:44,071
Then what shall we start with first?
358
00:52:44,072 --> 00:52:46,674
How about the snags in the tax reform?
359
00:52:54,683 --> 00:52:59,920
We need tax laws that both the nobles
and the commoners can live with.
360
00:53:00,555 --> 00:53:05,192
That will make it easier to send
military funds to the northern border.
361
00:53:06,161 --> 00:53:11,332
It's going to be hard work,
but we can do it.
362
00:53:11,333 --> 00:53:16,003
Of course we can.
This is the Hall of Worthies!
363
00:53:18,306 --> 00:53:20,808
Right, buddy?
364
00:53:33,988 --> 00:53:36,890
Are we just going to stand around?
365
00:53:38,592 --> 00:53:41,895
Shall we begin?
366
00:53:46,301 --> 00:53:50,838
Prevailing opinion is that ten sacks
per plot of land is a reasonable rate.
367
00:53:50,839 --> 00:53:55,609
The soil fertility and productive differs by
region, so same rate should not apply.
368
00:53:55,610 --> 00:53:59,680
How about 7 sacks per plot
in the northern three states?
369
00:53:59,681 --> 00:54:03,884
Have you thought of a plan to deal with
the resistance of the landed gentry?
370
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,386
I plan to deal with it head on.
371
00:54:05,387 --> 00:54:11,692
I will ask the public directly
about their own opinion.
