Episode 814: The stars fall. (8)

“Hmm… what should I do…”

Hyang, who had been pondering over the letter that King Sejong left behind, let out a long sigh and took the letter in his hand.

“Whoa~. Since you said only look at me, you can just bury it, but… this damn curiosity…”

Unable to overcome her curiosity, Hyang smiled bitterly at her choice to open the book and tore the seal on the book.

“Look at the scent….”

– Look at the scent.

From a young age, you were a child who showed unusual talent.

At an age when an ordinary child would barely be able to write a thousand characters, you had already studied a high level of Confucian classics, and even debated with guests in the Crown Prince’s Gangwon Province to the point of admiration.

Your level was so excellent that people said, ‘This is not the insight of a child.’

Every time I listened to the guests, I was very happy.

What parent would not be happy to see their child excel? I was happy too.

But at some point I found out.

The reason you devoted so much to mathematics was not to deeply understand and enlighten the doctrine of sage.

On the contrary, he viewed Gyeonghak as a shackle and made an effort to quickly remove it.

After removing the shackles, you were able to do what you wanted to do with all your heart from then on.

This is while using clever tactics to avoid criticism from noisy ministers.

The most representative one was the gold pen.

Not only did he make gold pens, prove their utility, and sell them to help the country’s financial resources, but he also prevented people from saying that you were doing business with Insunbu’s money.

How could that come out of the head of a child less than 10 years old?

The same goes for the political opinion statement you made.

(omitted)

In the past, several people, including me, gathered to talk about you.

Among the stories that many people told at the time, there were three major overlapping stories.

One is that you already know, but since we don’t, we struggle to explain it as easily as possible.

Another thing we figured out after much thought was that you already knew.

Lastly, if there is one thing we must know, it is that we can cleverly lead our thoughts in that direction.

Those who gathered at the time had many questions about this.

Where is this?

Even during the process of making Jeongeum, your behavior was unusual. It gave me the feeling that you were familiar with using things that I was still only thinking about.

This question became stronger as I looked at the papers that came out of your room.

(omitted)

As these things happened, I sometimes felt like you were not my son.

It felt as if a person from hundreds of years later was living in the shell of my son.

And every time this thought occurred to me, I would blame myself and brace myself.

How bad of a person is he to envy his son and think such ridiculous thoughts? It means that you should use that time to refine yourself and work harder.

And so I did.

Of course, I am also human, so sometimes such bizarre thoughts creep in and bother me.

But I have seen you since the moment your mother gave birth to you, and you are my child.

Of course, those who worship the Buddha sometimes talk about reincarnation. However, even if you reincarnate, it means that you move through time and be reincarnated again in the past, not that you go back in time and be reincarnated in a past life.

Because going back in time is reverse and unpleasant.

So my conclusion is that you are very superior to others.

Although he may not be the kind of person who took three steps as soon as he was born and said, “Heaven and earth are the only infants.”

I say again, you are my child. He is my proud child.

Now it is time for me to complete my journey in this world.

When I come this far and look back, I realize that I have continued to walk down a new path.

Every day was a new day that I had never experienced before, and each new step I took was stepping on ground I had never walked on before.

I am proud that I have done my best by walking a new path every day, not the path of yesterday.

Therefore, I will walk with a light heart even though I walk the path of the afterlife rather than the path of this world.

So, I would like to make a final request to you.

Release everything you are holding on to and come.

I know very well that you still have a lot inside you.

This is not my misjudgment. This is the confidence I have in your appearance after seeing the miscellany that I have shown you.

Not only Wan, who learned from you, but also the ministers with deep experience, who search for knowledge together with scholars at the research institute and Area 51 every day, and even I, you were the only one who found something in the phrases that I thought were nonsense. I guess you already thought of something similar to what I thought and recognized its value in your own way.

So, before you leave this world, release everything you were holding inside.

Even if you cannot match the knowledge of scholars and the talent of craftsmen, let it go and come.

Even if we can’t reach it now, it will be a great milestone.

I earnestly ask you not to fail my instructions.

I still have energy left to add a few lines.

Now that I think about it again, if it were you, I would solve it even though I know it’s impossible right now.

One of your bad habits is to hide it and unravel it little by little, and the other is to leave it open and watch.

If you were you, you would think about releasing it all right before you die, right?

And then he is sure to die laughing at the frustration of the scholars.

Instead of being cursed until you die, figure it out in advance.

Don’t eat swear words that you shouldn’t eat.

This is my last request.

“Whoa~.”

Hyang, who had finished reading King Sejong’s letter, let out a long sigh and quenched his appetite.

“Tsk… you knew me so well. Come to think of it…”

Not long after Hyang created Area 51 and the research center, the behavior of those around Hyang began to change slightly.

Until then, ‘Why this?’ Most responses were, ‘Is it really possible?’ However, at some point, when Hyang gave me a task, I did my best to achieve results rather than questioning it.

The same was true for budget issues.

Of course, Area 51 and other events provided great help to the budget. However, it was still necessary to keep an eye on the good fortune every time the budget was set.

But at some point, the pressure from budgeting began to weaken little by little. Of course, Kim Jeom, who held the country’s treasury at the time, had to be cautious, but Kim Jeom did not blindly oppose things like he did in the past.

Of course, every time I requested additional budget, I had to listen to King Sejong.

“Get out you bastard!”

Hyang, who was recalling old memories, looked at the temple with a sad expression.

It was because of the sentence written on the letter, ‘You are my son.’

It took a considerable amount of time for Hyang to recognize Sejong as his father.

In a way, it was a natural reason.

This was because it was not easy for him to realize that King Sejong, a great man who would go down in history, was his biological father.

There was a strong belief that only parents in the 21st century were one’s parents.

Therefore, when I was young, I was more polite to King Sejong.

As I read the contents of the letter, I realized that King Sejong also kept a distance from himself.

However, King Sejong carried his scent with him until the end.

“They say that when their parents die, children only have regrets…”

To hide her suddenly depressed feelings, Hyang forced herself to change the topic.

“Anyway, you said to solve it and go… How do I solve it? It looks like rubber will be available soon, and we have already gone down a completely different path from the history I knew…”

Hyang folded his arms and began to think.

“History has already become a mess. ‘Shut up and follow me!’ Should I push through it? no. This is giving me a headache. Hmm…..”

Hyang worked hard to find an easier and more comfortable way.

“Should I also write something like a miscellaneous leaf and throw it away before I die? Ah~. Then I won’t have fun…”

After much thought, the conclusion Hyang came to was simple.

“Let’s go like we do now. If it doesn’t work out, why not write a miscellaneous record? “Anyway, you’re going to get a lot of criticism later just for what you’ve done so far…”

It was Hyang who decided that if Sejong had heard, he would have immediately shouted, ‘You bastard!’

* * *

Having decided on the future, Hyang looked at the letter in front of her.

The envelope containing the letter had King Sejong’s orders written on it.

-Burn it after you see it.

“But for some reason, it’s a waste… It’s a letter that clearly reveals my father’s humane side and attitude of constant effort…” It is difficult

to erase King Sejong’s denial and fierce self-discipline revealed in the letter. It was a wasteful scent.

After much deliberation, the decision made by the fragrance was ‘sealing’.

“Let me see… a suitable book…”

Hyang rummaged through the books on the bookshelf and took out one.

“This would be good.”

What Hyang chose was the ‘Area 52 Top Secret Task List’.

“Because it won’t be made public right after I die. This is a book that will not be released until 100 years have passed at the earliest. If it were discovered then, historians would be in an uproar. ‘I discovered the human side of Emperor Wen.’”

Hyang smiled, anticipating what would happen in the distant future, and put the letter left by King Sejong in the book and then put it back on the bookshelf.

As an aside, it was 200 years after Hyang’s death that King Sejong’s writings left behind by Hyang were discovered.

As Hyang expected, the discovery of the writings shook the world’s historical circles.

‘The letter left behind by the emperor who shook the world’s history upon his death’

This alone had tremendous historical value, but the person who received the letter was also in trouble.

-If Emperor Wen opened the door to the empire, the first emperor paved the way for the empire.

-The one who threw the world into chaos.

-The person who left the greatest mark on the history of scientific development in the world.

-Are you human?

This was because the scent receiving this evaluation was the recipient.

The contents of the book were made public amidst the attention of not only the historical community but also the interested public – mainly imperialists.

Most people who learned of the contents of the letter were, as Hyang expected, moved by King Sejong’s humanity and his ceaseless efforts, but some focused their attention on other aspects.

“Look here! There are traces that even Emperor Wen had doubts about the first emperor! “It’s an alien disguised as a human!”

Dozens of conspiracy theory books filled with chapters like this were published and sold like crazy.

As the global storm raged, the Imperial Imperial Spokesperson sighed into the broadcast.

“Ha~. everyone. Let’s think about the environment. “Let us think of the trees sacrificed to produce those books.”

“Is that all?”

In response to the reporters’ questions, the spokesperson asked back with a tired face.

“Isn’t it annoying to say and write the same words every time?”

“Ah…”

The reporters nodded without realizing it at the spokesperson’s words.

This is because they also copied what the spokesperson said from another manuscript.
