Episode 734
Sampajeon (2)
The three people who left the small palace entered a dark abode about ten miles away from the palace.
As a building within the imperial palace, it was more ornate than the royal palaces of most high-ranking officials, but thanks to the exquisitely placed walls and shadows, it was hard to see. Even if I looked at it, it was hard to recognize it.
“If you need anything, ask the water gate committee outside the door. I will see His Majesty once more at midnight today. The general will also come by then, so please get plenty of rest.”
After saying those words, Doban left. He did not like the three people who did not show proper courtesy in front of the empress.
Paengmugang whetted his appetite.
“I’ve earned quite a bit of hate.”
Zhuge Yan smiled.
“That’s how deep the loyalty is. “It looks good to me.”
“It would be nice to see it if it wasn’t our job. “I hope it doesn’t interfere with my future work.”
“It won’t happen. “Exactly, you won’t.”
Peng Mu-gang sighed and sat down on the floor.
“I was so nervous that I lost my energy.”
“Are you nervous?”
“of course. Aren’t you going to dethrone the Empress? Even if her actual power has weakened, her position as the hostess of the empire is above all people. “You can’t help but be careful.”
“okay.”
“Moreover, my hometown is near Beijing, Hebei. “I was greatly influenced by the imperial palace and government officials, whether I knew it or not.”
Zhuge Yan nodded.
Peng Wugang looked up at Yan Wei.
“I hope the matriarch can get some rest too.”
“hmm.”
There was an ambiguous glow on Yeonwi’s face as she leaned against the wall and stroked her chin.
Peng Wugang asked with a puzzled look.
“why? “Is there something that’s bothering you?”
“It’s not that there’s anything at stake…”
“You’re doing it because of His Majesty the Emperor.”
Yan Wei and Zhuge Yan looked at Peng Wujiang with unexpected eyes.
Peng Mu-gang scratched his head.
“Why do you look at me like that?”
“How did you know?”
“Wasn’t Lord Yeonga very curious about His Majesty’s safety even before leaving the Murim Alliance?”
“That’s right….”
“I heard that His Majesty, the Emperor of Tang Jin, is not taking care of government affairs because he is immersed in pleasure like his predecessors, and is further wasting the already weakened national power.”
Yeonwi glanced around.
There were several warriors in hiding near the residence. They are watching the group.
Of course, the empress must have been aware that the party would notice their presence. Still, the warriors were probably kept in hiding just in case.
Peng Mu-gang must have known that too. Nevertheless, he did not hesitate to criticize His Majesty the Emperor.
“Paenggaju.”
“But still, His Majesty the Emperor is the master of this country. “If not only Her Majesty the Empress but also the Crown Prince Wuheon had not recognized that authority, the situation would have become even more bloody.”
That is correct. That’s true, but I didn’t think it was worth bringing up at this point.
Peng Mu-gang opened his mouth again.
“That’s the problem right there.”
“…What problem are you talking about?”
“Your Majesty the Crown Prince.”
“…!”
Yeon Wei looked at Zhuge Yan.
Zhuge Yan nodded.
“I thought about that too. “What if…”
After looking around for no reason, Zhuge Zinc sighed and continued.
“If you want to hold onto the core power of the imperial family, it would be best to place the successor desired by both sides on the imperial throne.”
“….”
“The throne is something that can never be easily achieved. “Unless it is a national emergency, designating the predecessor is essential.”
The national emergency that Zhuge Yan meant was the vacancy of the throne.
Regardless of how much power he actually has, both the Empress and the Grand Prince are probably confident. They say they can assassinate the emperor at any time.
Yet they left the emperor alone. This is because the moment one side strikes the emperor first, they can be accused of treason and the odds of victory can be tilted.
“The one axis that can stand out in this situation is His Highness the Crown Prince.”
Peng Mu-gang tilted his head.
“But I can’t figure out that part exactly.”
Zhuge Yan nodded.
“If I knew that, I would be able to see the situation more clearly.”
Yeonwi looked around at the two people.
They say this even though they know there are eyes watching. There may be no reason.
Yeonwi, who was lost in thought, soon nodded silently.
“Let’s take it easy for now. “You can ask Her Majesty and the General at midnight.”
“Well, he is like that too.”
After a while.
Slurp.
The guards have moved somewhat further away. One of them disappeared completely. This is probably to convey the conversation that took place here in its entirety.
The eyes of the three people who were resting in silence suddenly changed.
Yeonwi stretched out his hand to the center of the room.
Ugh.
An intangible energy surrounded the three people. Now, the conversations we have here will no longer leak out.
Despite the surprise, Yeonwi still looked out the window and said.
“It was dangerous.”
Peng Mu-gang said in a laughing voice.
“I thought Yeongaju would recognize it right away.”
“I’m sorry. “I had so many thoughts that I couldn’t keep pace.”
Zhuge Yan also spoke in the same resting position.
“The conversation from earlier will go straight to Her Majesty’s side. “Your thoughts are probably getting complicated.”
“I guess so.”
Yeonwi said.
“His Royal Highness has definitely moved.”
Peng Wugang nodded.
“I agree.”
“It really doesn’t matter now how you moved. If he had stood out, it would have been a three-way battle, but seeing as he didn’t, he was probably weak or weak…
”
Despite his young age, Zhuge Yan had a brilliant mind and outstanding insight. Furthermore, Yan Wei and Peng Mu-gang were people who heard the voices of losers in a region.
It was not that difficult to guess the situation in the imperial palace based on the circumstances and the conversation with the empress. That’s where the world goes anyway.
The real problem was different.
“The question is… is His Majesty the Emperor really watching and watching without knowing anything?”
The three were silent for a moment.
After some comments, Zhuge Yan opened his mouth.
“At Zhuge Dynasty, we learn about imperial history separately. “On a small scale, it is to understand the history of the continent, and on a large scale, while studying history, we discard what we should throw away and take what we can take.”
“It’s like that in all history.”
“It is said that His Majesty, the emperor of the time, had high expectations that he would become one of the most famous soldiers among all previous emperors before ascending to the throne. It is said that he mastered not only various studies but also, uniquely, martial arts. “I heard that you were born with greater talent than anyone else, especially when it comes to national administration.”
Peng Wugang’s eyes sparkled.
“I heard a similar story. But…”
“Yes. “Not long after ascending to the throne, he indulged in pleasures like his predecessors.”
“hmm.”
“However, just before that, you presented groundbreaking administrative plans. In addition, he dispatched officials to each region to calm the people’s troubled lives to some extent.”
“After that, did you let go of the affair?”
“that’s right.”
Zhuge Zhen’s eyes deepened.
“I just thought it was like that and passed by. “There were countless people like that throughout history.”
“….”
“But when you look at the current situation….”
“You cannot make hasty judgments.”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“This is not martial arts. There isn’t much information. It’s possible to guess, but you shouldn’t get caught up in it and make a misjudgment. “I’ll figure it out, but I’ll figure it out.”
Zhuge Yan smiled.
“I think it’s one of many possibilities.”
“okay.”
“But there is one thing that must not change.”
“right.”
The three people had a solemn look on their faces.
“Power must go to His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Your Majesty the Emperor is the core of the Imperial Palace.”
“Legitimacy belongs to His Majesty the Emperor.”
The three people spoke almost simultaneously and smiled at each other.
The reason they came to the imperial palace was to help the empress find out not only the crown prince but also the power of the Shinhwa religion that was operating behind him. If possible, it is good to destroy it.
But the most important thing is the emperor.
In order for the empress and grand dame to seize real power in the imperial palace, they must appoint a successor who is beneficial to them as emperor.
This means that they cannot step forward and change the royal dynasty. To that extent, the legitimacy and authority of the emperor were inviolable.
“Even if His Majesty the Emperor says he has no power, it is true that it becomes a problem the moment we take one side.”
“You saw it correctly. And if we give strength to Her Majesty and change the scale of power in the Imperial Palace, there is a high possibility that Her Majesty will also kick us out in the future.”
Zhuge Zhen’s eyes were tense.
“We must approach His Majesty the Emperor. “We have to shake the table so that Her Majesty the Empress accepts this plan.”
* * *
Slurp!
Yeon Ho-jeong and Gok-gyeong stopped the divine law.
“Damn it.”
Gok-gyeong’s face distorted.
“I had no idea things would turn out like this.”
The place where we were supposed to meet the interviewee was lined with corpses.
The corpses were all wearing black uniforms. Judging from the signs of broken neck bones and stab wounds from the back, it seemed as if they had been slaughtered without even being able to resist.
“Are you from the imperial palace?”
“They are the bastards of Sejeongbeon (???).”
“Washing number? please go?”
“The Sejeongban is His Majesty the Emperor’s secret organization. Gajo refers to those who have the name of Sejeongbeon but are not the ‘real’ ones.”
These people aren’t real? What does that mean?
Gok-gyeong looked around.
“It’s not the time to worry about that. Those who were pursuing them were attacked on the contrary. “It means that they will also compete.”
“Victory….”
“It probably won’t be far away. The divine laws of King Bi’s subordinates are no less inferior to those of my subordinates. “Depending on who hits the back first, one side will receive a crushing blow.”
“That means I have to hit my head?”
“That’s it.”
Gok-gyeong looked around with keen eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was examining the bodies, opened his mouth.
“senior.”
“What?”
“What is the exact reason why King Bi appeared near Mt. Wudang?”
“Didn’t you say you didn’t know? “They may have decided that there was no more information to extract from the midfield.”
Yeon Ho-jeong thought that was absolutely not the case.
Information accumulates all the time. Since we do not know when and where an important event will occur, it is impossible to not have information to extract.
‘If it’s not an internal matter, there’s not much reason to show up. Especially if it has the ability to disrupt information to that extent.’
Yeonhojeong’s eyes sparkled with fire.
“It’s the imperial palace.”
“what?”
Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly stood up and looked at Gok-gyeong and said.
“To the imperial palace right now…!”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was speaking, hesitated for a moment.
Gok-gyeong’s face frowned.
“What kind of bullshit is that?”
“….”
“Aren’t you asking what I’m talking about! Why the imperial palace?!”
It was then.
hook!
The expressions of the two people suddenly changed.
The moment a secret presence was felt from the far north, the unknown master had already entered the two’s full control.
Blah blah blah! Suddenly!
A ferocious sound rang out from the woldo that was swung like a thunderbolt.
At the same time, a stab wound appeared on Gok-gyeong’s shoulder. Although the wound was shallow, the fact that he had suffered an unexpected blow was a surprise to the world.
Hahaha!
Explosive morale emanated from Gok-gyeong’s body.
“Biwang!!”
Flash!
Yeon Ho-jeong launched a banryongjang towards the rear of Gok-gyeong.
bang!
The base of the tree was completely shattered.
However, the ghost that was there suddenly appeared on the tree on the other side. It was so easy to avoid Yeonhojeong’s quick tension.
Let’s go!
At the same time, dozens of masters appeared from all directions and surrounded them.
They were unknown warriors that Gokgyeong’s subordinates, the Masked People, attacked and killed. Surprisingly, their magic speed was not much different from that of the masked people.
In other words, in terms of speed, it was not much inferior to Gokgyeong and Yeonhojeong.
“Hmm.”
High treetops.
There was a monster standing on a tree branch thinner than a child’s finger, with his arms crossed.
“There’s one more cool-looking prey. I guess I’ll have to be a little nervous about this, too.”
Gok-gyeong shouted loudly.
“Polite white dragon!”
King Gongsun Baekryong grinned.
There was a relaxed attitude in his posture as he aimed the curved gun with the small sword in his hand.
“Is this your first time meeting us like this?”
Wow!
The moment when Gok-gyeong takes a step forward.
‘…?!’
Before he knew it, Gongsun Baekryong jumped down from the tree and stabbed his sword towards Gokgyeong’s eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened.
‘crazy!!’
Suddenly!
