00:00:00,032 --> 00:00:05,009
Queen Seon Deok
00:00:00,032 --> 00:00:05,009
Episode 44
00:00:06,958 --> 00:00:11,553
Only the council keeps
favoring unanimous voting,
00:00:11,654 --> 00:00:14,408
and should any proposal
meet your disapproval,
00:00:14,535 --> 00:00:18,456
it has always ended up being rejected.
00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:24,376
Not only does this impede
our country's development,

7
00:00:24,582 --> 00:00:28,147
but, as it is but an expedient to
protect the powerful nobles' interests,
00:00:28,483 --> 00:00:32,884
I propose voting regulations
for the council of nobles...
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:34,377
move to a majority vote.
10
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:36,411
Right!
11
00:00:36,542 --> 00:00:39,360
That's right.
12
00:00:41,388 --> 00:00:43,644
What she said is right!
13
00:01:13,997 --> 00:01:16,445
Nine to one?!
14
00:01:17,583 --> 00:01:19,314
{\a6}~ Episode 44 ~
15
00:01:16,583 --> 00:01:18,114
Nine approved,
16
00:01:18,245 --> 00:01:19,980
and only one was against it.
17
00:01:20,148 --> 00:01:23,229
But, as the council
favors unanimous voting...
18
00:01:23,587 --> 00:01:25,251
It was rejected.
19
00:01:26,367 --> 00:01:28,445
Nine approved?!
20
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:31,173
Lord Sejong,
Lord Misaeng, Lord Hajong...
21
00:01:31,287 --> 00:01:32,932
They must be amongst those nine.
22
00:01:33,032 --> 00:01:34,405
Yes, Milord.
23
00:01:34,505 --> 00:01:36,540
It is indeed as you suggest.
24
00:01:37,740 --> 00:01:39,668
Mishil does it again.
25
00:01:39,826 --> 00:01:41,957
Seems like she was behind all this.
26
00:01:42,071 --> 00:01:44,992
They certainly could not
let the taxation reform pass,
27
00:01:45,175 --> 00:01:47,549
but they also wanted
to escape any criticism...
28
00:01:47,792 --> 00:01:49,423
their refusal to accept
it would have incurred?!
29
00:01:49,652 --> 00:01:53,072
But, Her Highness proposed to
change the council's unanimous vote...
30
00:01:53,201 --> 00:01:58,049
to a majority vote, proposal which
is being deliberated upon at the moment.
31
00:01:58,264 --> 00:01:59,408
Majority vote?!
32
00:01:59,551 --> 00:02:02,434
Well... I am sure it will not pass.
33
00:02:02,577 --> 00:02:04,952
They could not reach a
unanimous vote on the reform,
34
00:02:05,037 --> 00:02:06,453
majority vote?!
35
00:02:06,625 --> 00:02:09,300
Would something like that ever pass?
36
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:13,462
It will not pass, but it is
by no means a bad stratagem.
37
00:02:13,676 --> 00:02:14,978
Why?
38
00:02:16,111 --> 00:02:23,102
Still, think of how disheartened all the
nobles wishing for those reforms will be.
39
00:02:26,283 --> 00:02:29,988
So we must foment even
more disheartenment, you mean?!
40
00:02:31,518 --> 00:02:37,205
And that disheartenment
must be directed at the council.
41
00:02:37,448 --> 00:02:40,581
They're quite the fruitless
parade, are they not?
42
00:02:40,724 --> 00:02:42,283
- Right?
- Indeed!
43
00:02:42,469 --> 00:02:44,882

Those feelings...
44
00:02:45,175 --> 00:02:47,921
"They are of little worth..."
45
00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:52,126
Such feelings is what we must foment.
46
00:02:55,134 --> 00:02:58,024
Make your choice.
47
00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:17,850
Her Highness's proposal to change
our council's voting procedures...
48
00:03:19,384 --> 00:03:21,287
was approved by two,
49
00:03:22,431 --> 00:03:24,362
and rejected by eight members,

50
00:03:24,934 --> 00:03:28,060
therefore leading to its rejection.
51
00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:07,044
Think this will mean a
triumph for Your Highness?
52
00:04:07,259 --> 00:04:09,004
I merely reciprocated,
53
00:04:09,198 --> 00:04:10,757
Your Highness.
54
00:04:21,687 --> 00:04:24,055
I ought to...
55
00:04:24,820 --> 00:04:28,540
Think of how propitious the
passing of that reform would have been.
56
00:04:28,653 --> 00:04:31,156
How lamentable.
Nine to one?!
57
00:04:31,284 --> 00:04:33,902
I had no expectations on
the matter, none whatsoever.
58
00:04:34,002 --> 00:04:36,321
There was no way it would pass!
59
00:04:36,648 --> 00:04:40,221
Then...
What brought you all the way here?
60
00:04:40,381 --> 00:04:43,021
Was not "expectations"
what led you here?
61
00:04:43,837 --> 00:04:45,698
Ohh... that!
62
00:04:46,067 --> 00:04:50,347
With all the land those
council members possess,
63
00:04:50,544 --> 00:04:54,151
there was no way they would
pass such reform from the start.
64
00:04:54,266 --> 00:04:56,180
From the start...
65
00:04:57,899 --> 00:05:00,287
Even knowing that,
I still had some expectations.
66
00:05:00,387 --> 00:05:04,802
But we once again found out, uh?!
67
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:07,142
As long as unanimous voting
dominates the council,

68
00:05:07,214 --> 00:05:10,689
nothing in this country
will ever change!
69
00:05:23,867 --> 00:05:26,399
What are you trying to say?
70
00:05:27,085 --> 00:05:29,760
Did I ever say anything
about your clan?
71
00:05:30,003 --> 00:05:34,194
Is being in possession of
plentiful land and assets a crime?
72
00:05:34,308 --> 00:05:37,111
Wangyun Rang was not
talking about that.
73
00:05:37,397 --> 00:05:39,528

The reason certain clans might be
in possession of larger territory...
74
00:05:39,657 --> 00:05:42,046
is either because their efforts
led to such expansion,
75
00:05:42,174 --> 00:05:45,021
or because their meritorious
service granted them such benefits.
76
00:05:45,579 --> 00:05:46,537
Is that a crime?
77
00:05:46,623 --> 00:05:51,055
Even petty nobles with very little
land boast the same kind of fealty.
78
00:05:51,139 --> 00:05:55,056
So does this discriminatory
treatment show any fairness?

79
00:05:55,271 --> 00:05:56,844
There is a clear
difference between people,
80
00:05:56,944 --> 00:05:58,846
do we have to equally divide land now?
81
00:05:58,946 --> 00:06:02,551
What is wrong with you two?
82
00:06:02,808 --> 00:06:07,142
Are you telling me Deokman was
the one proposing for majority vote?
83
00:06:07,271 --> 00:06:09,889
Lord Seohyeon and I did approve,
84
00:06:10,047 --> 00:06:12,292
but as all the other council
members were against it,

85
00:06:12,435 --> 00:06:14,109
the motion was rejected.
86
00:06:14,738 --> 00:06:17,298
Was it not impossible
from the very start?
87
00:06:17,484 --> 00:06:22,533
Did not the council use unanimous
voting for the last seven centuries?
88
00:06:22,747 --> 00:06:28,552
I am sure Her Highness herself
knew the motion would not pass.
89
00:06:29,051 --> 00:06:31,882
Yes... As even that was rejected,
90
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,431
all the lesser nobles who
participated voiced their disapproval.

91
00:06:37,089 --> 00:06:40,214
It is likely that is what
Her Highness wished for.
92
00:06:40,328 --> 00:06:45,706
Are you telling me she did this to show
how fruitless the council has become?
93
00:06:45,906 --> 00:06:49,368
It is very likely those
were Her Highness's intentions.
94
00:06:49,468 --> 00:06:50,925
Right...
95
00:06:51,064 --> 00:06:54,187
She managed to show that anything
which would go against...
96
00:06:54,420 --> 00:06:58,231

the powerful nobles'
benefit would never pass.
97
00:06:59,426 --> 00:07:00,973
Sire.
98
00:07:01,147 --> 00:07:02,649
Are you all right?
99
00:07:02,749 --> 00:07:04,746
Should we escort you to your berth?
100
00:07:05,710 --> 00:07:07,526
I am fine.
101
00:07:07,941 --> 00:07:10,230
Fret not.
102
00:07:23,657 --> 00:07:26,689
Are we not mutually engaging
in one subterfuge after another?

103
00:07:26,889 --> 00:07:30,880
Majority vote?
What a most discerning move.
104
00:07:31,137 --> 00:07:38,843
Yes, as any proposal would find
it arduous to pass with this system.
105
00:07:39,115 --> 00:07:42,462
Is not unanimous voting
a seven century-long tradition?
106
00:07:42,619 --> 00:07:43,677
However,
107
00:07:43,792 --> 00:07:48,831
it is a vestige of the past which
no longer suits our current situation.
108
00:07:49,187 --> 00:07:55,290

All it has become is a subterfuge
to favor the powerful nobles' interests.
109
00:07:56,512 --> 00:08:00,989
And that is because no reform
would be approved unanimously by them.
110
00:08:01,572 --> 00:08:03,592
That is certainly true.
111
00:08:03,721 --> 00:08:05,080
Still.
112
00:08:05,266 --> 00:08:07,613
Still, Your Highness...
113
00:08:08,795 --> 00:08:11,218
Do you realize that
same unanimous voting...
114
00:08:11,327 --> 00:08:14,169

is also benefiting you?
115
00:08:15,276 --> 00:08:16,589
What?
116
00:08:16,803 --> 00:08:25,228
Should the nobles propose a motion
to oust you from any decision making?
117
00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:31,238
With a majority vote,
only six votes of approval...
118
00:08:31,438 --> 00:08:36,815
would be required to force you
out of any further deliberation.
119
00:08:36,990 --> 00:08:40,909
However, since it is
still unanimous voting,
120
00:08:41,038 --> 00:08:43,040
be it Lord Seohyeon or Lord Yongchun,
121
00:08:43,126 --> 00:08:47,713
would not a single vote against
the motion cause it to be rejected?
122
00:08:47,856 --> 00:08:51,374
And that is why you
continue enjoying your status.
123
00:08:52,696 --> 00:08:54,135
I see.
124
00:08:54,321 --> 00:08:56,838
I was indeed gaining benefits myself.
125
00:08:57,067 --> 00:08:59,175
Our statute and institutions...
126
00:08:59,685 --> 00:09:03,775

They are always a perilous
sword with two edges.
127
00:09:03,903 --> 00:09:08,161
Not only their foe, but even those
wielding it may injure themselves.
128
00:09:09,922 --> 00:09:11,193
Then,
129
00:09:11,508 --> 00:09:15,757
is using such statute and institutions
to contend with your foes...
130
00:09:15,862 --> 00:09:17,858
such immoral behavior?
131
00:09:18,359 --> 00:09:20,688
Statute and institutions...
132
00:09:26,423 --> 00:09:28,139

Again... again...
133
00:09:28,719 --> 00:09:32,277
I almost risked telling
you everything, once again.
134
00:09:32,652 --> 00:09:35,241
How sagacious your sincerity can be.
135
00:09:35,456 --> 00:09:38,574
It almost caused me to once again
fall for that trap of yours.
136
00:09:39,810 --> 00:09:41,255
If I may...
137
00:09:53,116 --> 00:09:55,451
Hey! Minions!
138
00:09:57,779 --> 00:10:00,181
Aigoo... What now?!

139
00:10:00,296 --> 00:10:02,371
The council rejected both proposals.
140
00:10:02,485 --> 00:10:04,688
- Uh?!
- Ehh... You pathetic dolts.
141
00:10:04,773 --> 00:10:06,723
You are the true minions...
142
00:10:07,070 --> 00:10:10,194
Wake up, will you?
143
00:10:10,967 --> 00:10:13,421
Looks like expectations
completely floored them?!
144
00:10:13,549 --> 00:10:15,280
They are really angry, uh?!

145
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,231
That is too bad.
What a shame!
146
00:10:18,426 --> 00:10:20,987
You dolt, how much land
does your clan possess?
147
00:10:21,087 --> 00:10:25,318
Why are you suddenly
curious about that?
148
00:10:25,461 --> 00:10:28,279
{\a6}*1 sok = 15 square meters
149
00:10:25,461 --> 00:10:28,279
Aigoo... look at you.
Over five thousand sok*?
150
00:10:28,508 --> 00:10:29,809
Uh?!
151
00:10:30,253 --> 00:10:33,394
Had this amendment been passed,
152
00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:37,370
your clan's lives
would have been improved!
153
00:10:39,130 --> 00:10:40,846
Ehh... You ignoramus.
154
00:10:40,932 --> 00:10:42,900
He doesn't even realize
what can benefit him.
155
00:10:42,971 --> 00:10:44,988
You pathetic dolt...
156
00:10:45,074 --> 00:10:47,062
Tell me about it.

157
00:10:47,820 --> 00:10:49,622
Does he have some issues up there?
158
00:10:50,795 --> 00:10:53,637
Just stay put, uh?!
159
00:10:54,432 --> 00:10:56,391
That's kind of true...
160
00:10:56,506 --> 00:10:58,815
Aigoo... you're so hopeless.
161
00:10:59,523 --> 00:11:01,497
Wake up, you dolt.
162
00:11:01,683 --> 00:11:03,118
Let's go.
163
00:11:04,152 --> 00:11:06,543
Couldn't smell money

if it was under your nose...
164
00:11:06,628 --> 00:11:08,087
Ehh...
165
00:11:08,459 --> 00:11:11,672
I just thought that...
166
00:11:13,337 --> 00:11:14,037
Why did you hit me?
167
00:11:14,123 --> 00:11:15,565
Now that I think about it, you dolt,
168
00:11:15,650 --> 00:11:18,868
is that how you address
your direct superior?
169
00:11:18,997 --> 00:11:21,105
Well deserved, wasn't it?

170
00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:23,088
You dolt.
171
00:11:28,373 --> 00:11:31,149
So it should have passed, uh?!
172
00:11:32,189 --> 00:11:35,936
On second thought, the taxation
reform was not such a bad proposal.
173
00:11:36,165 --> 00:11:37,192
Is that not right, Seokpum Rang?
174
00:11:37,321 --> 00:11:38,422
So...
175
00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:40,982
Are you saying it should
have passed successfully?
176
00:11:41,097 --> 00:11:43,428
Why are you suddenly
raising your voice?
177
00:11:43,543 --> 00:11:45,960
It is because of the
drivel you're uttering!
178
00:11:46,346 --> 00:11:47,853
Listen, Seokpum Rang.
179
00:11:48,025 --> 00:11:49,741
Had this amendment passed,
180
00:11:49,884 --> 00:11:52,974
it would have meant benefits
for your own clan as well.
181
00:11:54,761 --> 00:11:56,907
The same goes for mine.
182
00:11:57,164 --> 00:12:00,905
Don't you realize it is but
a subterfuge by Her Highness...
183
00:12:01,013 --> 00:12:02,784
to make Lady Mishil's followers sway?
184
00:12:02,913 --> 00:12:07,779
However, both you and I incurred
heavy losses during the last crops crisis.
185
00:12:11,930 --> 00:12:14,586
It might not mean much
for the powerful nobles,
186
00:12:15,001 --> 00:12:19,329
but one of the pillars holding
our clan was lost in the fray.
187
00:12:21,339 --> 00:12:23,262
Nothing I said was uncalled for.

188
00:12:23,362 --> 00:12:25,036
Careful with your parlance.
189
00:12:25,865 --> 00:12:30,319
The reason we are still here,
and still own any land at all...
190
00:12:30,664 --> 00:12:33,280
It all happened because of
Her Highness Lady Mishil's benevolence.
191
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,441
Have you forgotten?
192
00:12:39,617 --> 00:12:40,727
Seokpum Rang!
193
00:12:41,069 --> 00:12:42,586
Seokpum Rang!!
194
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:46,725
I really...
195
00:12:51,897 --> 00:12:53,928
Ever since the princess
came back to Seorabeol,
196
00:12:54,013 --> 00:12:55,730
there has not been
a single day of tranquility.
197
00:12:55,916 --> 00:12:58,476
Why, is anything the matter?
198
00:12:58,633 --> 00:13:01,576
All the petty nobles who
participated at the last council...
199
00:13:01,704 --> 00:13:04,550
are gathering here and there
and making such a commotion!

200
00:13:04,894 --> 00:13:07,268
From their point of view,
it is understandable.
201
00:13:07,626 --> 00:13:09,943
It makes no sense!
202
00:13:10,057 --> 00:13:12,678
Unanimous voting is a seven
century-long tradition of ours,
203
00:13:12,764 --> 00:13:16,225
so how and why would
you suddenly abolish it?
204
00:13:16,568 --> 00:13:17,955
No.
205
00:13:18,339 --> 00:13:20,773
In the end,
it must be indeed abolished.

206
00:13:20,988 --> 00:13:26,155
No... In truth, the council itself
is a rather fruitless apparatus.
207
00:13:26,907 --> 00:13:27,912
Your Highness!
208
00:13:28,055 --> 00:13:29,027
What?
209
00:13:29,628 --> 00:13:31,216
"Rather fruitless"?!
210
00:13:31,359 --> 00:13:32,563
What is that supposed to mean?
211
00:13:32,649 --> 00:13:35,638
Yes. Should I achieve
my grandiose endeavors,
212
00:13:35,739 --> 00:13:39,085
it will be the first thing
I will abolish.
213
00:13:40,888 --> 00:13:43,703
Of course, now is not the time.
214
00:13:55,907 --> 00:13:57,605
What did you just say?
215
00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:59,283
Lord Chunchu!
216
00:13:59,469 --> 00:14:01,371
Do what with the council?!
217
00:14:01,571 --> 00:14:03,159
Is that not the case?
218
00:14:03,402 --> 00:14:07,081

Was I speaking in haste?
219
00:14:07,556 --> 00:14:12,029
But in the end, should we not rid
ourselves of the council altogether?
220
00:14:16,724 --> 00:14:18,426
Shouldn't we?
221
00:14:18,583 --> 00:14:22,503
Right... I do think so myself.
222
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,057
However... The council is a
seven century-long tradition of ours.
223
00:14:30,229 --> 00:14:32,389
Abolish it, Your Highness?!
224
00:14:32,675 --> 00:14:35,878
Our path shall from now on

be laden with sudden upheavals.
225
00:14:36,036 --> 00:14:43,207
Hence... I was indeed thinking
whether we should rid ourselves of it.
226
00:14:47,085 --> 00:14:51,176
What our nation needs now
are rapid decisions,
227
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:54,122
and the ability to rapidly
make plans come into fruition.
228
00:15:04,736 --> 00:15:09,473
Yes... So you spent
the night preparing this?
229
00:15:09,888 --> 00:15:14,012
No, I just could not catch sleep.
230
00:15:14,922 --> 00:15:17,053
I took the time to devise such plans,
231
00:15:17,182 --> 00:15:19,115
may you take a look.
232
00:15:30,844 --> 00:15:33,940
What a cowardly
and baseborn artifice...
233
00:15:34,226 --> 00:15:37,073
Yes, it certainly is.
234
00:15:39,985 --> 00:15:42,340
"It certainly is"?!
235
00:15:44,070 --> 00:15:50,703
But, it should be much more cowardly,
baseborn and spurious, Milord.
236
00:15:51,260 --> 00:15:55,766

Yes... I shall find the kind
of solution you are looking for.
237
00:16:03,406 --> 00:16:07,454
The more ignoble
and squalid, the better.
238
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,433
Enough that anyone reading it
would be disgusted by its vulgarity.
239
00:16:14,692 --> 00:16:18,554
But, Mother...
What would that be?
240
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,158
Is it the morrow?
241
00:16:25,373 --> 00:16:27,521
Or the day after?
242
00:16:32,926 --> 00:16:34,643
Tomorrow.
243
00:16:51,277 --> 00:16:53,975
What is perturbing you?
244
00:16:56,564 --> 00:16:58,180
Sister...
245
00:16:58,956 --> 00:17:01,241
Must we really do this?
246
00:17:01,856 --> 00:17:03,086
Why?
247
00:17:03,391 --> 00:17:05,805
Are you feeling uneasy about this?
248
00:17:08,094 --> 00:17:11,120
Why would any of this
perturb my mind?!
249
00:17:11,619 --> 00:17:12,729
I just...
250
00:17:13,459 --> 00:17:14,314
Just?!
251
00:17:14,443 --> 00:17:18,205
I just think this behavior
does not suit you, Sister.
252
00:17:21,260 --> 00:17:24,297
Whatever disdain
your peers accord you,
253
00:17:24,512 --> 00:17:27,660
I believe the annals of history will
consign you to a luminous legacy.
254
00:17:27,888 --> 00:17:33,106
However, this can besmirch everything

you have accomplished so far.
255
00:17:36,036 --> 00:17:37,485
It certainly could.
256
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,406
The world does indeed fear you,
and shows you contempt,
257
00:17:42,534 --> 00:17:48,193
but never have you acted
against principle.
258
00:17:53,618 --> 00:17:59,559
But when it comes to this,
I hardly think it is the case.
259
00:18:06,232 --> 00:18:09,588
No... Once...
260
00:18:09,842 --> 00:18:13,350

I once did do something
against principle.
261
00:18:15,314 --> 00:18:16,782
Sadaham...
262
00:18:17,457 --> 00:18:20,590
My devotion for him convinced
me to abandon everything...
263
00:18:20,747 --> 00:18:23,037
and plan to together elope.
264
00:18:25,095 --> 00:18:29,802
That was against my every principle.
265
00:18:31,272 --> 00:18:32,545
Yes...
266
00:18:32,652 --> 00:18:37,924
It was that which moved me

to never repeat such behavior.
267
00:18:38,110 --> 00:18:43,577
So, why do it now, of all times?
268
00:18:44,450 --> 00:18:47,525
I now share the same
sentiments as those days.
269
00:18:48,354 --> 00:18:53,430
Quite similar to
what I felt for Sadaham.
270
00:18:54,582 --> 00:18:56,684
Similar as in...
271
00:18:56,827 --> 00:19:02,573
Enough that Mishil will abandon
principle to follow her dreams,
272
00:19:02,730 --> 00:19:06,377

and should even failure
be bestowed upon her,
273
00:19:06,477 --> 00:19:08,923
she will go out in style.
274
00:19:09,481 --> 00:19:11,626
Well, to that extent?!
275
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:26,704
What? Piltan Rang and
Wangyun Rang's fathers?
276
00:19:27,018 --> 00:19:30,283
Yes. As they both own less than
five thousand sok of land,
277
00:19:30,483 --> 00:19:32,933
they could have become
recipients of your taxation reforms.
278
00:19:33,134 --> 00:19:35,217
That is good to hear.
Where are they?
279
00:19:35,346 --> 00:19:37,320
I shall meet them right away.
280
00:19:58,369 --> 00:20:00,714
The Pungwolju just told me.
281
00:20:00,886 --> 00:20:04,576
I am whelmed with
gratitude for your support.
282
00:20:04,670 --> 00:20:06,036
{\a6}~ Lord Jujin ~
(Piltan's father, Sangju commander)
283
00:20:04,670 --> 00:20:06,036
You need not flatter us.
284
00:20:06,151 --> 00:20:08,725
We should rather be the ones to
extend you our sincerest gratitude.
285
00:20:08,854 --> 00:20:10,400
Do not even mention it.
286
00:20:10,494 --> 00:20:12,272
We can only be in awe at
the concern you have shown...
287
00:20:12,387 --> 00:20:16,236
for the lesser nobles
and their situation.
288
00:20:16,421 --> 00:20:17,658
No...
289
00:20:17,872 --> 00:20:19,562
It is nobles of purpose
such as yourself...
290
00:20:19,662 --> 00:20:26,075
who should aid this country to go
through the reforms it so fervently needs.
291
00:20:27,414 --> 00:20:31,003
The council has become
nothing more than a pretext...
292
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,390
for the powerful nobles
to maintain their supremacy.
293
00:20:33,633 --> 00:20:37,409
From here on in,
I will need your support.
294
00:20:37,681 --> 00:20:40,148
- Yes, Your Highness.
- Yes. Your Highness.
295
00:20:48,071 --> 00:20:50,907

So, how did she seem?
296
00:20:51,064 --> 00:20:55,598
She requested our support
to reform the council of nobles.
297
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,132
Reform the council?!
298
00:20:59,252 --> 00:21:00,494
Yes.
299
00:21:00,694 --> 00:21:05,614
Saying it has become a mere
pretext to continue your supremacy...
300
00:21:07,332 --> 00:21:08,933
Lord Jujin.
301
00:21:09,090 --> 00:21:10,840
You know, right?

302
00:21:11,312 --> 00:21:14,845
That this is nothing but
a subterfuge by Her Highness...
303
00:21:15,059 --> 00:21:17,191
so that the nobles
will foment dissension.
304
00:21:19,665 --> 00:21:22,843
You cannot let this sway you.
305
00:21:23,530 --> 00:21:26,076
There is nothing
that would sway me,
306
00:21:26,533 --> 00:21:29,823
but as I am staking my life on this...
307
00:21:30,195 --> 00:21:31,742
No.
308
00:21:31,871 --> 00:21:37,120
You have a responsibility to
maintain public order in the capital.
309
00:21:37,664 --> 00:21:41,354
How could that ever
go against principle?!
310
00:21:41,511 --> 00:21:45,025
I am counting on Your Excellency.
311
00:22:41,066 --> 00:22:44,498
Did you come here
yourself, Your Highness?
312
00:22:44,741 --> 00:22:47,416
I thought Lord Misaeng would come...
313
00:22:47,974 --> 00:22:50,963
It is... our first meeting, I trust?

314
00:22:51,206 --> 00:22:55,983
I have heard a lot about you.
Seems like you granted us valuable support?!
315
00:22:56,255 --> 00:22:58,787
And what could I possibly have done?
316
00:22:58,967 --> 00:23:03,392
I merely conveyed to Lord Misaeng
talebearing I learned during my journeys.
317
00:23:03,550 --> 00:23:08,513
And that is why I hold your
endeavors in high esteem.
318
00:23:08,899 --> 00:23:12,820
And hope this mutual
respect will continue.
319
00:23:13,147 --> 00:23:17,418

I cannot express how grateful
I am to hear that, Your Highness.
320
00:23:18,176 --> 00:23:21,437
Any further instructions
you would like to give us?
321
00:23:22,850 --> 00:23:25,956
I hear you and Bidam are close.
322
00:23:28,063 --> 00:23:29,904
Take Bidam with you,
323
00:23:30,047 --> 00:23:34,924
and leave the capital on an
excursion for the next two days.
324
00:23:41,361 --> 00:23:43,406
For excursions, you mean...
325
00:23:43,563 --> 00:23:45,337

Just that.
326
00:23:45,580 --> 00:23:47,592
Find a pleasant spot
up in the mountains,
327
00:23:47,749 --> 00:23:50,817
enjoy fresh water and the
gentle breeze, and then return.
328
00:23:54,007 --> 00:23:58,721
But, should Bidam refuse to come?
329
00:23:59,261 --> 00:24:00,577
Then...
330
00:24:01,750 --> 00:24:04,825
I suppose you will have to
bring him along against his will?!
331
00:24:07,116 --> 00:24:09,304

A guest is seeking your audience.
332
00:24:19,232 --> 00:24:20,562
Lord Seolwon.
333
00:24:20,705 --> 00:24:22,507
What brings you...
334
00:24:23,492 --> 00:24:26,455
Was paying you a visit a mistake?
335
00:24:29,957 --> 00:24:34,062
Still, I remain your guest.
Will you leave me out here?
336
00:24:34,924 --> 00:24:37,035
Ahh... Well...
337
00:24:37,669 --> 00:24:39,766
May you enter.

338
00:24:46,437 --> 00:24:48,359
Is that not right?
339
00:24:48,531 --> 00:24:52,194
If it's politics, that is something
my mother and Her Highness worry about.
340
00:24:52,322 --> 00:24:55,941
Do we need to foment
ill will amongst in-laws?
341
00:24:56,084 --> 00:24:57,670
I certainly concur.
342
00:24:58,773 --> 00:25:00,019
- Here...
- Yes.
343
00:25:00,258 --> 00:25:02,722
We neglected each
other for way too long.

344
00:25:02,908 --> 00:25:06,913
Let us meet frequently,
and freely confabulate!
345
00:25:07,041 --> 00:25:09,730
Yes, we should try...
346
00:25:14,444 --> 00:25:16,876
Father, you are here?
347
00:25:17,620 --> 00:25:19,621
Ohh... Right, Yeongmo.
348
00:25:19,732 --> 00:25:21,494
Here... Have a seat.
349
00:25:24,918 --> 00:25:27,335
What brings you here,
at this belated juncture?

350
00:25:27,492 --> 00:25:33,717
I wanted to meet your
father-in-law, you and your spouse!
351
00:25:33,917 --> 00:25:37,006
Right...
When is the child due?
352
00:25:40,997 --> 00:25:44,647
What happened to my Yeongmo?
Uh?!
353
00:25:51,569 --> 00:25:55,325
What is perturbing you?
354
00:25:56,283 --> 00:26:00,918
Lord Chunchu is your nephew.
355
00:26:01,232 --> 00:26:05,211
And he's our grandson-in-law.

356
00:26:06,127 --> 00:26:07,457
And?
357
00:26:08,658 --> 00:26:10,675
What are you trying to imply?
358
00:26:10,804 --> 00:26:15,045
I do appreciate the fact Lord Chunchu
and I have become in-laws,
359
00:26:15,484 --> 00:26:17,529
but it puts me in a
rather awkward position.
360
00:26:17,686 --> 00:26:20,332
In regards to Lord Sejong, you mean?
361
00:26:20,518 --> 00:26:21,834
Yes.
362
00:26:22,580 --> 00:26:24,410
Even though I had no selfish motives,
363
00:26:24,568 --> 00:26:27,071
he still refuses to believe me.
364
00:26:38,066 --> 00:26:39,768
Lord Yongchun.
365
00:26:40,297 --> 00:26:46,314
Are you not trying to help
Lord Chunchu to the throne yourself?
366
00:26:49,602 --> 00:26:54,456
What are you trying to say?
367
00:26:54,768 --> 00:26:59,662
Even though we did not
intend for it to happen,
368
00:26:59,834 --> 00:27:02,720

are we not on the same boat anyhow?
369
00:27:21,846 --> 00:27:24,278
Ahh... I told you we
can go inside and talk.
370
00:27:24,389 --> 00:27:26,638
Get moving...
371
00:27:31,214 --> 00:27:32,640
What is it?
372
00:27:33,574 --> 00:27:35,662
What do you want?
373
00:27:38,689 --> 00:27:40,877
What are you taking me for?
374
00:27:41,077 --> 00:27:43,174
If you have anything to say, do it now.

375
00:27:43,379 --> 00:27:45,697
Ahh... really.
376
00:27:46,866 --> 00:27:48,315
What is it?
377
00:27:48,530 --> 00:27:49,131
What's the matter?
378
00:27:49,231 --> 00:27:52,054
Ahh... It's driving me crazy.
379
00:27:52,191 --> 00:27:55,560
It'll never work... never.
380
00:27:57,526 --> 00:27:58,566
Hey.
381
00:27:58,693 --> 00:28:01,807
Will you leave with me on an

excursion, or keep drinking?
382
00:28:02,622 --> 00:28:03,323
What?
383
00:28:03,452 --> 00:28:04,882
Would be too cumbersome
to leave, wouldn't it?
384
00:28:04,997 --> 00:28:06,585
So let's just drink, uh?
385
00:28:07,314 --> 00:28:10,196
I saw you can handle it quite well.
386
00:28:13,700 --> 00:28:15,545
Have a death wish?
387
00:28:16,214 --> 00:28:18,291
Start talking.
388
00:28:18,634 --> 00:28:22,977
It's just that I don't think
I can do this while sober.
389
00:28:23,792 --> 00:28:26,724
Let's just have a drink...
390
00:28:27,253 --> 00:28:29,170
Just one.
391
00:28:51,341 --> 00:28:53,187
My apologies.
392
00:28:53,405 --> 00:28:55,235
Ahh... Don't even mention it.
393
00:28:55,336 --> 00:28:57,996
But, you sure can handle the bottle.
394
00:28:58,125 --> 00:28:59,857

I am renowned for my drinking prowess,
395
00:28:59,929 --> 00:29:01,788
but it indeed seems like I found a peer.
396
00:29:01,935 --> 00:29:04,452
Right... Let us have one more.
397
00:29:04,566 --> 00:29:06,383
Yes, all right.
398
00:29:06,511 --> 00:29:07,695
Here...
399
00:29:07,795 --> 00:29:12,251
To the prosperity of our clans,
let us have a toast.
400
00:29:23,980 --> 00:29:26,297
I did hear about it,

401
00:29:27,570 --> 00:29:29,380
but how can I...
402
00:29:29,526 --> 00:29:31,743
It is for Her Highness's sake,
403
00:29:31,943 --> 00:29:33,974
and for the sake of our country.
404
00:29:34,132 --> 00:29:37,054
Seokpum Rang's dexterity
with the blade is peerless.
405
00:29:37,176 --> 00:29:40,039
Is that not the reason
we are entrusting this to him?
406
00:29:43,908 --> 00:29:45,881
Let us begin.
407
00:29:59,282 --> 00:30:01,267
What are you waiting for?
408
00:30:01,370 --> 00:30:03,306
Begin at once!
409
00:30:22,372 --> 00:30:25,983
Did you meet Lord Yongchun?
410
00:30:26,154 --> 00:30:27,570
Yes.
411
00:30:29,272 --> 00:30:30,588
Did you do it?
412
00:30:30,774 --> 00:30:33,091
Yes, I did.
413
00:30:33,263 --> 00:30:37,875
Did you bring that?

414
00:30:44,104 --> 00:30:46,035
I did bring it...
415
00:30:46,192 --> 00:30:49,170
But, why this...
416
00:30:50,413 --> 00:30:54,088
Yes.
Give it to me.
417
00:30:54,588 --> 00:30:56,476
Your Highness.
418
00:30:58,437 --> 00:31:00,767
I always tried to accord
you my understanding,
419
00:31:00,896 --> 00:31:02,684
and so I have done all this time.
420
00:31:02,812 --> 00:31:06,488
But this is something
I cannot understand.
421
00:31:06,717 --> 00:31:08,576
Why would you...
422
00:31:10,573 --> 00:31:14,574
The reason I left that behind
was to earn your trust,
423
00:31:14,802 --> 00:31:17,863
and to placate your anxiety.
424
00:31:18,092 --> 00:31:22,632
So why did you ask me
to bring this only now?
425
00:31:22,947 --> 00:31:26,666
For I now wish for it to placate mine.
426
00:31:26,866 --> 00:31:29,841
What are you trying
to say, Your Highness?
427
00:31:31,239 --> 00:31:35,920
Could this not end up
in failure, after all?
428
00:31:37,780 --> 00:31:39,131
Then...
429
00:31:39,881 --> 00:31:41,205
Yes.
430
00:31:42,063 --> 00:31:44,040
It is Bidam.
431
00:31:56,261 --> 00:32:00,870
This might be a very long night.
432
00:32:01,857 --> 00:32:04,844

Just like that night.
433
00:32:17,359 --> 00:32:19,390
It is a summoning for
an urgent council meeting.
434
00:32:19,505 --> 00:32:22,809
I must convey it
directly to His Excellency.
435
00:32:23,681 --> 00:32:27,731
He still has not awakened,
so let me do this.
436
00:32:31,106 --> 00:32:34,882
May you confirm that
you received the notice.
437
00:32:44,545 --> 00:32:48,825
I sent the meeting notice
to Lord Yongchun's abode.

438
00:32:48,982 --> 00:32:52,458
Directly to Lord Yongchun?
439
00:32:52,586 --> 00:32:57,163
Ahh... No, as he was inebriated
last night and wished to sleep,
440
00:32:57,249 --> 00:32:59,753
I only left it to his servants.
441
00:33:00,182 --> 00:33:01,870
Is that so?
442
00:33:05,211 --> 00:33:06,761
Was the confirmation signed?
443
00:33:06,919 --> 00:33:08,325
Yes.
444
00:33:35,892 --> 00:33:37,566

Lord Seohyeon.
445
00:33:37,866 --> 00:33:39,995
Lord Seohyeon.
446
00:33:40,175 --> 00:33:42,906
Milord, you must wake up.
447
00:33:57,346 --> 00:34:01,540
It is a list of all the nobles
who wish to give you support.
448
00:34:05,552 --> 00:34:09,048
I met with Piltan Rang's
father, Lord Jujin.
449
00:34:09,233 --> 00:34:11,998
He did seem to approve
our taxation reforms,
450
00:34:12,127 --> 00:34:13,872

but I still cannot be sure.
451
00:34:13,972 --> 00:34:19,089
Lord Jujin commands elite troops
from the closest post to the capital,
452
00:34:19,493 --> 00:34:21,819
so we must make sure
he joins forces with us.
453
00:34:21,905 --> 00:34:25,753
He might not be of high nobility,
but considering his long-standing...
454
00:34:25,874 --> 00:34:28,384
relationship with Lord Sejong,
we cannot be sure.
455
00:34:28,627 --> 00:34:32,179
That is why I plan to
meet Piltan Rang as well.

456
00:34:32,365 --> 00:34:37,113
Also, Wolya Rang, make sure
you keep control over...
457
00:34:37,242 --> 00:34:40,061
the restoration movement
sects in this area.
458
00:35:00,026 --> 00:35:02,429
Lo...Lord Seohyeon.
459
00:35:02,543 --> 00:35:04,739
Lord Seohyeon!
460
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,877
Lord Seohyeon!
461
00:36:13,685 --> 00:36:15,258
What is this?
462
00:36:17,575 --> 00:36:18,908
What...
463
00:36:20,581 --> 00:36:21,997
What is this?
464
00:36:22,154 --> 00:36:24,443
What did you fill those drinks with?
465
00:36:24,758 --> 00:36:26,102
I...
466
00:36:30,577 --> 00:36:32,408
Are you out of your mind?
467
00:36:32,511 --> 00:36:34,072
Have a death wish?
468
00:36:34,197 --> 00:36:36,485
Keep quiet, will you?

469
00:36:36,599 --> 00:36:39,369
All this is driving me crazy.
470
00:36:39,497 --> 00:36:42,415
Take these off.
471
00:36:42,529 --> 00:36:44,836
You crazy bastard...
472
00:36:45,104 --> 00:36:46,348
Stop!
473
00:36:47,907 --> 00:36:49,784
Just stay put, uh?
474
00:36:49,938 --> 00:36:52,590
Let me think for a moment, uh?
475
00:36:53,691 --> 00:36:56,938
You really must be insane.

476
00:37:00,859 --> 00:37:02,712
Why did you tie me?
477
00:37:03,012 --> 00:37:04,364
Calm down.
478
00:37:04,477 --> 00:37:05,964
Just calm down.
479
00:37:07,386 --> 00:37:09,078
Come here.
480
00:37:09,190 --> 00:37:10,878
Closer... Come closer!
481
00:37:11,021 --> 00:37:12,923
I said come here!
482
00:37:17,416 --> 00:37:21,572

They will have a council meeting
to oust Her Highness...
483
00:37:21,758 --> 00:37:24,376
from any decision-making process.
484
00:37:24,705 --> 00:37:27,494
With me and Lord Yongchun...
485
00:37:27,823 --> 00:37:30,269
Why would they do this?
486
00:37:30,512 --> 00:37:31,857
Bring my official garments.
487
00:37:31,971 --> 00:37:33,344
I must hasten there.
488
00:37:33,444 --> 00:37:34,817
Yes.
489
00:37:45,670 --> 00:37:47,415
What is that supposed to mean?
490
00:37:47,601 --> 00:37:49,660
The council will discuss what?
491
00:37:49,832 --> 00:37:54,963
Ousting Her Highness from
any further state deliberation.
492
00:37:55,206 --> 00:37:56,994
How could this...
493
00:37:57,180 --> 00:37:58,824
They are discussing it now?
494
00:37:58,924 --> 00:38:02,253
Yes, I saw the council members gather.
495
00:38:03,404 --> 00:38:07,595

But, the council still
uses unanimous voting.
496
00:38:07,924 --> 00:38:10,356
Lord Yongchun and
Lord Seohyeon will be present,
497
00:38:10,627 --> 00:38:12,613
so there is no way it would pass.
498
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:14,847
Yes...
499
00:38:15,148 --> 00:38:20,025
But how could this happen
right under our noses?
500
00:38:20,516 --> 00:38:21,923
No.
501
00:38:22,795 --> 00:38:24,740

There is something peculiar about this.
502
00:38:26,789 --> 00:38:28,473
The council...
503
00:38:53,384 --> 00:38:56,256
Seems like we are not all gathered yet.
504
00:38:56,485 --> 00:38:59,660
Lord Yongchun and Lord Seohyeon
are still missing.
505
00:38:59,861 --> 00:39:02,521
Is it not time to start
our meeting already?
506
00:39:02,735 --> 00:39:06,812
The Sangdaedeung is here,
so let us commence.
507
00:39:06,940 --> 00:39:08,070

What?
508
00:39:08,557 --> 00:39:11,961
Should not the council
reach a unanimous vote?
509
00:39:12,089 --> 00:39:16,854
Yes, it indeed shall reach one.
510
00:39:17,011 --> 00:39:19,757
Who ever said otherwise?
511
00:39:19,871 --> 00:39:25,498
So how can we start without
Lord Yongchun and Lord Seohyeon?
512
00:39:25,619 --> 00:39:28,866
Eight council members are present.
513
00:39:29,567 --> 00:39:33,915
Would not an unanimous vote

amongst the present suffice?
514
00:39:38,654 --> 00:39:40,113
H...owever...
515
00:39:40,413 --> 00:39:42,187
There is no such precedent,
516
00:39:42,315 --> 00:39:43,244
how...
517
00:39:43,368 --> 00:39:46,008
Are we going to postpone
such paramount decision...
518
00:39:46,260 --> 00:39:49,874
just because a few members
could not come on time?
519
00:39:50,231 --> 00:39:53,758
Not to mention the fact that

they gave us confirmation...
520
00:39:53,872 --> 00:39:55,838
that they received our summoning.
521
00:39:56,038 --> 00:39:58,192
From this meeting onwards,
522
00:39:58,593 --> 00:40:03,928
let us seek a unanimous vote
amongst the members present alone.
523
00:40:04,071 --> 00:40:05,143
Indeed!
524
00:40:05,358 --> 00:40:07,601
Why should we await them?
525
00:40:07,830 --> 00:40:09,046
I concur.
526
00:40:09,161 --> 00:40:14,881
There is no code suggesting that
the entire council must be present.
527
00:40:14,953 --> 00:40:19,826
Merely that a unanimous vote
is required for a motion to pass.
528
00:40:19,984 --> 00:40:21,400
I concur.
529
00:40:21,744 --> 00:40:23,470
Yes, I agree as well.
530
00:40:23,637 --> 00:40:24,747
I agree.
531
00:40:24,890 --> 00:40:27,529
Yes... I concur myself.
532
00:40:31,377 --> 00:40:33,165
I agree.
533
00:40:34,738 --> 00:40:39,638
Then, we shall hereby
commence this meeting.
534
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:13,021
What?
535
00:41:13,136 --> 00:41:15,449
They started the meeting
with only eight members present?
536
00:41:15,606 --> 00:41:19,297
Yes, it is currently taking
place at Yeolseon Hall.
537
00:41:19,650 --> 00:41:21,573
Her Highness's right to deliberate
is the motion discussed?

538
00:41:21,631 --> 00:41:22,475
Yes...
539
00:41:22,589 --> 00:41:24,002
What now?
540
00:41:24,395 --> 00:41:26,095
Does it make any sense?
541
00:41:26,487 --> 00:41:29,612
They dare start the meeting without
Lord Seohyeon and Lord Yongchun?!
542
00:41:30,376 --> 00:41:32,072
It... cannot be...
543
00:41:33,271 --> 00:41:34,911
Pungwolju.
544
00:41:35,142 --> 00:41:37,449

I've been told that Lord Seohyeon
spent the eventide...
545
00:41:37,574 --> 00:41:38,932
drinking with Lord Hajong.
546
00:41:39,061 --> 00:41:40,376
Is that true?
547
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:44,628
They cannot have done
so to leave them out,
548
00:41:44,985 --> 00:41:48,861
and pass that motion with
only eight members present?
549
00:41:49,152 --> 00:41:51,250
Those ignoble cowards!
550
00:41:51,538 --> 00:41:55,639

How could Hwarang alumni
display such appalling behavior?
551
00:41:56,076 --> 00:42:00,828
So... So where are Lord Yongchun
and Lord Seohyeon now?
552
00:42:32,643 --> 00:42:35,416
Leave on an excursion
far away from the palace?!
553
00:42:35,511 --> 00:42:36,548
Mishil said so?!
554
00:42:36,634 --> 00:42:37,850
I told you.
555
00:42:37,935 --> 00:42:40,796
She said keeping you away
until the morrow would suffice.
556
00:42:41,697 --> 00:42:45,659
So why did we not leave,
and you tied me here instead?
557
00:42:47,404 --> 00:42:48,448
Tell me!
558
00:42:48,662 --> 00:42:50,250
Answer at once...
559
00:42:50,465 --> 00:42:51,866
What are you trying to scheme?
560
00:42:51,981 --> 00:42:53,926
You are here because I
could not scheme a thing!
561
00:42:54,069 --> 00:42:56,286
Should I not make
decisions on my own?
562
00:42:56,386 --> 00:42:58,474
Decisions... what decisions?!
563
00:42:58,735 --> 00:43:00,732
First... Who are you?
564
00:43:00,857 --> 00:43:02,947
Who could you possibly be,
to arouse so much interest in Mishil?
565
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,939
I might have dabbled in that
kind of work once or twice,
566
00:43:05,139 --> 00:43:08,257
but it's the first time Mishil
comes forward firsthand.
567
00:43:10,102 --> 00:43:13,611
Second...
She said today and the morrow.

568
00:43:13,940 --> 00:43:16,886
It's clear something
is going to happen, uh?
569
00:43:17,089 --> 00:43:18,845
What could it be?
570
00:43:20,018 --> 00:43:21,534
It can't be...
571
00:43:21,677 --> 00:43:24,110
Is Mishil going to...
572
00:43:26,127 --> 00:43:29,474
Unclasp me...
Do it now!
573
00:43:29,645 --> 00:43:33,438
I told you it's not
such a simple matter.

574
00:43:33,825 --> 00:43:35,455
You still...
575
00:43:35,684 --> 00:43:37,429
It's driving me crazy as well, uh?
576
00:43:37,515 --> 00:43:40,261
Having to tie you up like that
means risking my life,
577
00:43:40,451 --> 00:43:44,277
and letting you go would
make me a foe in Mishil's eyes.
578
00:43:44,538 --> 00:43:45,937
Want me to end
your problems right now?
579
00:43:46,094 --> 00:43:48,375
Unclasp me right now!

580
00:43:51,314 --> 00:43:53,297
Then, convince me!
581
00:43:53,454 --> 00:43:54,670
Convince me that unclasping you...
582
00:43:54,784 --> 00:43:58,789
and becoming a foe in her eyes
will be the right decision!
583
00:44:21,766 --> 00:44:23,338
Move out of the way!
584
00:44:23,769 --> 00:44:26,017
I must join the meeting.
585
00:44:27,547 --> 00:44:29,435
What are you trying to do?
586
00:44:29,918 --> 00:44:31,657

I said move!
587
00:44:31,774 --> 00:44:32,991
Move...
588
00:44:34,041 --> 00:44:36,981
I said move!
589
00:44:38,891 --> 00:44:40,093
What is the matter?
590
00:44:40,207 --> 00:44:41,902
Are you late as well?
591
00:44:42,016 --> 00:44:44,362
They are blocking the way on purpose.
592
00:44:44,476 --> 00:44:48,168
Then, are they keeping
us out so they will...

593
00:44:48,311 --> 00:44:51,024
pass the motion all by themselves?
594
00:44:51,182 --> 00:44:52,487
Seems so.
595
00:44:52,630 --> 00:44:54,321
We must stop this.
596
00:44:54,433 --> 00:44:56,765
How could they engage
in such coarse subterfuges?!
597
00:44:56,837 --> 00:44:59,426
You knaves!
Move out...
598
00:44:59,583 --> 00:45:01,528
- You knaves!
- Out of the way!

599
00:45:01,652 --> 00:45:04,475
I said move, you knaves!
600
00:45:11,619 --> 00:45:13,087
Did you gather everyone?
601
00:45:13,287 --> 00:45:14,574
Yes.
602
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,327
Is that true?
603
00:45:20,498 --> 00:45:24,575
That they made them drink,
and today staged an urgent meeting?
604
00:45:24,732 --> 00:45:27,807
Wow... What cowardice...
605
00:45:28,714 --> 00:45:32,720

Not to mention that they only
started the meeting with eight members.
606
00:45:32,892 --> 00:45:36,682
As if they were market scoundrels...
It makes no sense.
607
00:45:37,612 --> 00:45:39,923
- Your Excellency!
- Your Excellency...
608
00:45:42,938 --> 00:45:45,727
Lord Yongchun and Lord Seohyeon
arrived at Yeolseon Hall.
609
00:45:45,884 --> 00:45:47,028
Is that so?
610
00:45:47,443 --> 00:45:48,530
Forget it, then.
611
00:45:48,673 --> 00:45:49,751
No need to go.
612
00:45:49,865 --> 00:45:52,411
However, the two are trying
to enter the meeting,
613
00:45:52,526 --> 00:45:56,344
but troops are blocking their entrance.
614
00:45:57,489 --> 00:45:59,349
Troops?!
615
00:46:00,424 --> 00:46:03,987
Pungwolju, must we keep allowing this?
616
00:46:04,416 --> 00:46:07,334
How could we allow
something like this to happen?
617
00:46:08,049 --> 00:46:10,023

Jukbang, Godo.
618
00:46:10,328 --> 00:46:12,430
Report all this to
Her Highness immediately,
619
00:46:12,545 --> 00:46:13,660
and request further instructions.
620
00:46:13,775 --> 00:46:15,234
Yes!
621
00:46:18,495 --> 00:46:23,220
Also, Royal Palace Guard,
everyone follow me.
622
00:46:23,449 --> 00:46:24,965
Yes!
623
00:46:27,325 --> 00:46:28,226
Let's move.
624
00:46:28,426 --> 00:46:29,794
Yes!
625
00:46:36,502 --> 00:46:38,790
Isn't their behavior contemptible?
626
00:46:39,105 --> 00:46:40,964
How could they leave
Their Excellencies out,
627
00:46:41,236 --> 00:46:44,259
and gain their unanimous vote that way?
628
00:46:46,361 --> 00:46:50,223
I cannot... believe this.
629
00:46:51,310 --> 00:46:55,166
Mishil... Mishil...
630
00:46:55,452 --> 00:46:57,855
How could she stoop to this level?!
631
00:46:58,284 --> 00:47:00,115
It is impossible.
632
00:47:00,315 --> 00:47:04,633
So this is all Mishil could do?
633
00:47:05,246 --> 00:47:08,356
You overestimated her, Your Highness.
634
00:47:08,499 --> 00:47:10,845
We should not squander time here.
635
00:47:11,245 --> 00:47:13,191
We must stop them at once!
636
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,066
It is all the better, on the contrary.

637
00:47:19,570 --> 00:47:22,564
With this taxation reform
incident, public fervor...
638
00:47:22,717 --> 00:47:25,096
and the support of petty nobles
are moving towards Your Highness.
639
00:47:25,224 --> 00:47:28,099
And if you add a grave
affront against procedure,
640
00:47:28,228 --> 00:47:31,989
like seeking a unanimous
vote with only eight members,
641
00:47:33,177 --> 00:47:37,479
and even prohibiting the other
two members from participating.
642
00:47:37,993 --> 00:47:39,638

What would possibly happen?
643
00:47:39,881 --> 00:47:41,111
Yes...
644
00:47:41,512 --> 00:47:44,103
Even if this motion might pass,
645
00:47:44,912 --> 00:47:48,191
opposition will surpass
everyone's imagination.
646
00:47:50,380 --> 00:47:55,285
Everyone says Mishil
always stresses just cause.
647
00:47:55,471 --> 00:48:00,077
However, Mishil is
just a person like all of us,
648
00:48:00,506 --> 00:48:04,697

so anxiety and impatience
led her to do this.
649
00:48:04,911 --> 00:48:07,414
No... It cannot be.
650
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,316
She would never do this.
651
00:48:09,517 --> 00:48:13,121
Mishil would never
cause her own downfall.
652
00:48:13,278 --> 00:48:17,754
Princess Deokman sold military
supplies without the council's consent,
653
00:48:17,882 --> 00:48:21,744
endangering our nation's defenses.
654
00:48:22,759 --> 00:48:23,918

Also,
655
00:48:24,047 --> 00:48:30,283
her unfair taxation amendment proposal
spread unrest amongst the nobles.
656
00:48:31,284 --> 00:48:35,017
This is all to render
this council powerless...
657
00:48:35,146 --> 00:48:41,010
and eventually abolish it,
an artifice concocted by Her Highness.
658
00:48:42,783 --> 00:48:48,032
Hence, we request that
Her Highness be ousted from...
659
00:48:48,175 --> 00:48:52,595
any decision making, and only
concern herself with matters...

660
00:48:53,008 --> 00:48:57,072
related to the royal family.
661
00:49:35,460 --> 00:49:37,248
Apprehend them at once!
662
00:49:37,376 --> 00:49:38,472
Yes!
663
00:49:44,347 --> 00:49:46,022
Her Highness is in danger!
664
00:49:46,136 --> 00:49:48,396
I asked you...
why would she be in danger?
665
00:49:48,511 --> 00:49:49,912
Explain it to me.
666
00:49:50,027 --> 00:49:53,679

I ought to...
We have no time to waste!
667
00:49:53,851 --> 00:49:56,540
I am the only one who can solve this.
668
00:49:56,654 --> 00:49:58,313
The only one!
669
00:49:58,428 --> 00:49:59,314
What?!
670
00:49:59,801 --> 00:50:01,660
Yushin, Alcheon, Chunchu!
671
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:03,628
She must have fooled them all.
672
00:50:03,885 --> 00:50:05,859
I must go, I must!

673
00:50:06,002 --> 00:50:10,150
That's why I told you
convincing me would be best.
674
00:50:10,337 --> 00:50:11,758
What is Mishil trying to do?
675
00:50:11,887 --> 00:50:15,517
And what is your relationship with her?
676
00:50:20,383 --> 00:50:22,307
Now... Unclasp me now.
677
00:50:22,422 --> 00:50:25,111
I must go, hasten!
678
00:51:16,143 --> 00:51:20,319
Lord Jujin's troops from Sangju
are heading for the capital.
679
00:51:20,534 --> 00:51:22,096
What?
680
00:51:22,212 --> 00:51:22,894
Fine.
681
00:51:23,008 --> 00:51:24,024
Yes.
682
00:51:25,225 --> 00:51:27,070
Lord Jujin...
683
00:51:28,702 --> 00:51:32,405
Does not Lord Jujin
command a huge battalion?
684
00:51:33,278 --> 00:51:35,437
Why is he suddenly...
685
00:51:37,883 --> 00:51:40,887
It can't be...

It can't...
686
00:51:41,073 --> 00:51:42,674
Your Highness!
687
00:51:47,537 --> 00:51:48,961
We received a report.
688
00:51:49,054 --> 00:51:50,498
How did it go?
689
00:51:50,870 --> 00:51:56,919
Alcheon Rang took the troops,
and forcibly entered Yeolseon Hall.
690
00:52:01,231 --> 00:52:02,655
This cannot happen.
691
00:52:03,042 --> 00:52:04,944
We must stop them.

692
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,926
You now understand
what her plans are, don't you?
693
00:52:14,083 --> 00:52:16,729
It's a coup she is preparing!
694
00:52:17,026 --> 00:52:17,859
What?!
695
00:52:18,016 --> 00:52:20,848
She will stage an insurrection!
696
00:52:22,629 --> 00:52:24,173
I knew this would happen.
697
00:52:24,302 --> 00:52:27,258
I said it would be a coup,
and they did not believe me.
698
00:52:27,477 --> 00:52:28,878
How can they be so foolish...
699
00:52:28,993 --> 00:52:30,795
Wh...Wh...What?
700
00:52:30,967 --> 00:52:32,312
I am sure.
701
00:52:32,598 --> 00:52:34,572
Sure as anyone can be.
702
00:52:35,448 --> 00:52:37,948
Hey! I said unclasp me!
703
00:52:38,498 --> 00:52:40,813
In...In...Insurrection?!
704
00:52:41,066 --> 00:52:43,576
A... military coup?!

705
00:52:46,208 --> 00:52:49,970
Master, troops from Sangju
are heading for the capital.
706
00:52:51,372 --> 00:52:56,286
You... You... really
were saying the truth...
707
00:52:57,030 --> 00:52:59,196
Unclasp me, you bastard.
708
00:52:59,487 --> 00:53:01,350
Do it now!
709
00:53:05,188 --> 00:53:08,004
~ For ~ Against ~ Against ~ For ~
710
00:53:24,033 --> 00:53:26,024
How do you explain all this?
711
00:53:27,025 --> 00:53:32,031
How dare you wield your
weapons inside this sacred place?
712
00:53:43,659 --> 00:53:45,204
You knaves!
713
00:53:45,805 --> 00:53:48,322
You dare enter Yeolseon Hall armed?
714
00:53:48,451 --> 00:53:50,181
Pungwolju and a
Royal Palace Guard...
715
00:53:50,324 --> 00:53:52,856
Your being here is high treason!
716
00:54:09,021 --> 00:54:11,063
They just entered.
717
00:54:13,336 --> 00:54:14,353

Yes.
718
00:54:14,582 --> 00:54:17,643
Then...
We shall begin.
719
00:54:55,044 --> 00:55:00,090
No armed courtier has ever
entered these sacred walls before.
720
00:55:03,554 --> 00:55:07,431
{\a6}*2nd century Shilla Courtier who
staged a failed coup, and escaped to Baekje
721
00:55:03,554 --> 00:55:07,431
Also, even traitor Gilseon*...
722
00:55:07,688 --> 00:55:10,727
could not violate this council.
723
00:55:10,851 --> 00:55:16,856

But you dare wield your swords
and force your way in?
724
00:55:20,648 --> 00:55:25,438
However, as troops were blocking
Their Excellencies' entrance...
725
00:55:25,552 --> 00:55:27,109
You knave.
726
00:55:27,254 --> 00:55:31,559
Did any of them wield a sword?
727
00:55:50,811 --> 00:55:54,834
They are traitors who violated
Yeolseon Hall wielding their weapons!
728
00:55:54,938 --> 00:55:56,289
Apprehend them all!
729
00:55:56,452 --> 00:55:57,666

Yes!
730
00:56:07,874 --> 00:56:09,962
Drop your weapons!
731
00:56:21,633 --> 00:56:24,715
Royal Palace Guard, drop your weapons.
732
00:56:24,886 --> 00:56:27,017
Drop them at once.
733
00:56:29,292 --> 00:56:32,381
Your Excellency, we must not let
this escalate into a confrontation.
734
00:56:32,610 --> 00:56:34,477
May you abate your wrath.
735
00:56:39,334 --> 00:56:41,081
Drop your weapons!

736
00:56:41,257 --> 00:56:42,530
Now!
737
00:57:02,785 --> 00:57:03,801
Your Excellency,
738
00:57:04,015 --> 00:57:06,175
I shall be responsible
for any misdeed committed.
739
00:57:06,289 --> 00:57:10,323
But should we not
solve this impasse first?
740
00:57:10,494 --> 00:57:13,727
How dare you speak after what you did?
741
00:57:13,827 --> 00:57:16,788
Yes, I shall accept any punishment.
742
00:57:16,931 --> 00:57:19,946
However, I suggest we both
drop our weapons,
743
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:23,725
and let Their Excellencies
be escorted out of here.
744
00:57:27,900 --> 00:57:30,947
Drop your weapons at once!
745
00:57:42,661 --> 00:57:45,064
Drop yours as well.
746
00:57:54,810 --> 00:57:57,886
Your Excellencies,
may you leave the premises.
747
00:58:00,354 --> 00:58:03,586
Here... May you leave.
748
00:58:42,251 --> 00:58:44,166
You knaves!
749
00:58:59,238 --> 00:59:02,371
What are you doing?
Stop at once!
750
00:59:05,103 --> 00:59:06,465
Stop!
751
00:59:13,150 --> 00:59:14,682
Protect Their Excellencies!
752
00:59:14,768 --> 00:59:16,155
Follow me, Your Excellency.
753
00:59:16,255 --> 00:59:18,363
Protect the council members!
754
00:59:31,871 --> 00:59:33,233
Here it is.
755
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:38,224
Right between the
eighth and ninth rib.
756
00:59:38,353 --> 00:59:42,717
However, it must
not be a deep wound.
757
00:59:44,890 --> 00:59:46,248
Yes.
758
00:59:53,915 --> 00:59:55,717
No... No!
759
00:59:55,860 --> 00:59:57,190
Father!
760
00:59:57,276 --> 00:59:59,668
His Excellency has been wounded!

761
00:59:59,797 --> 01:00:01,198
They hit the Sangdaedeung!
762
01:00:01,384 --> 01:00:03,914
His Excellency was wounded!
763
01:00:04,860 --> 01:00:07,291
The Sangdaedeung has been stabbed!
764
01:00:09,179 --> 01:00:11,581
The Sangdaedeung has been harmed!
765
01:00:11,667 --> 01:00:14,256
His Excellency is down!
766
01:00:18,836 --> 01:00:21,711
His Excellency has been wounded!
767
01:00:27,002 --> 01:00:32,269
What did I just hear?

768
01:00:34,801 --> 01:00:37,447
Th...They wounded...
769
01:00:38,562 --> 01:00:40,875
the Sangdaedeung.
770
01:00:50,973 --> 01:00:56,165
His Excellency the Sangdaedeung
was attacked in the capital!
771
01:00:56,494 --> 01:00:58,382
This is an armed insurrection.
772
01:00:58,539 --> 01:01:00,713
To stop this coup from happening...
773
01:01:00,870 --> 01:01:06,792
Battalion!
Let us march for the capital!

774
01:01:29,652 --> 01:01:31,321
It's a coup.
775
01:01:39,543 --> 01:01:44,293
Mishil's coup.
782
01:02:26,630 --> 01:02:29,484
~ On The Next Episode Of ~
QUEEN ~ * ~ SEONDEOK
783
01:02:29,870 --> 01:02:33,913
Staging a coup was
her only way to achieve that.
784
01:02:34,075 --> 01:02:38,209
They attempted to murder the
Sangdaedeung at Yeolseon Hall.
785
01:02:38,338 --> 01:02:39,854
Her Highness instigated it?

786
01:02:39,968 --> 01:02:42,443
Princess Deokman staged a coup.
787
01:02:42,528 --> 01:02:44,344
You must find refuge.
788
01:02:44,573 --> 01:02:45,460
The Royal Seal...
789
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,395
You will forgive me,
790
01:02:47,524 --> 01:02:52,272
but all we need is for Your
Majesty to become their bait.
791
01:02:52,979 --> 01:02:57,407
If we can capture Her Highness,
all our goals will be fulfilled.
792
01:02:57,493 --> 01:03:00,740
That is the safest place.
793
01:03:03,715 --> 01:03:04,988
We cannot do that.
794
01:03:05,117 --> 01:03:07,448
How could you go there yourself?
795
01:03:07,562 --> 01:03:10,172
Stake your life and protect me.
796
01:03:10,773 --> 01:03:12,375
Where is Her Highness?
797
01:03:12,461 --> 01:03:15,221
Looks like he infiltrated
the Board of Military Affairs.
798
01:03:15,343 --> 01:03:16,484
Really?

00:00:00,032 --> 00:00:05,009

Queen Seon Deok

00:00:00,032 --> 00:00:05,009

00:00:06,958 --> 00:00:11,553

Only the council keeps

favoring unanimous voting,

00:00:11,654 --> 00:00:14,408

and should any proposal

meet your disapproval,

00:00:14,535 --> 00:00:18,456

it has always ended up being rejected.

00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:24,376

Not only does this impede

our country's development,

00:00:24,582 --> 00:00:28,147

but, as it is but an expedient to

protect the powerful nobles' interests,

00:00:28,483 --> 00:00:32,884

I propose voting regulations

for the council of nobles...

00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:34,377

move to a majority vote.

00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:36,411

00:00:36,542 --> 00:00:39,360

00:00:41,388 --> 00:00:43,644

What she said is right!

00:01:17,583 --> 00:01:19,314

00:01:16,583 --> 00:01:18,114

00:01:18,245 --> 00:01:19,980

and only one was against it.

00:01:20,148 --> 00:01:23,229

But, as the council

favors unanimous voting...

00:01:23,587 --> 00:01:25,251

00:01:26,367 --> 00:01:28,445

00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:31,173

Lord Misaeng, Lord Hajong...

00:01:31,287 --> 00:01:32,932

They must be amongst those nine.

00:01:33,032 --> 00:01:34,405

00:01:34,505 --> 00:01:36,540

It is indeed as you suggest.

00:01:37,740 --> 00:01:39,668

Mishil does it again.

00:01:39,826 --> 00:01:41,957

Seems like she was behind all this.

They certainly could not

let the taxation reform pass,

00:01:45,175 --> 00:01:47,549

but they also wanted

to escape any criticism...

00:01:47,792 --> 00:01:49,423

their refusal to accept

it would have incurred?!

00:01:49,652 --> 00:01:53,072

But, Her Highness proposed to

change the council's unanimous vote...

00:01:53,201 --> 00:01:58,049

to a majority vote, proposal which

is being deliberated upon at the moment.

00:01:58,264 --> 00:01:59,408

00:01:59,551 --> 00:02:02,434

Well... I am sure it will not pass.
