"My Lord... my Lord..." "It's the government officials!" "Kill them!" "What are you doing here?" "Come out quickly!" "What is the matter?" "It's an insurrection by the people!" "Right now, peasants from all over the place are starting an insurrection." "An insurrection!" "Come out quickly." "What?" " Hurry up!" " Hurry up!" "Then, Prince Heung Seon..." "My Lord!" "My Lord!" "There's a big problem." "Insurrection..." "The commoners are starting an insurrection." "My Lord, are you all right?" "What exactly is happening?" "Where is this place?" "Where do you think we are now?" "This is Jinju." "This is the people's insurrection!" "Insurrection?" "In the year 1862, the civil insurrection began in Jinju, before spreading throughout Joseon from one city to another." "Unable to tolerate further tyranny and exploitation any longer, the people began an insurrection, armed with sickles and pikes." "And, here I am, standing right in the middle of the storm." "What?" "Insurrection?" "That's right." "At Jinju, a group of peasant started the insurrection and attacked the local offices there." "According to reports, there were dozens of people killed or wounded." "What has the Royal Army been doing while the situation became this bad?" "The insurrection began at the same time in every village and the insurgents had such force that even the Royal Army was unable to do anything." "Send a messenger right away and deploy forces to curb the insurrection!" "Yes, My Lord." "Those who are disloyal have no right to remain as people of Joseon." "We shouldn't allow their existence in the first place." "Jinju..." "Jinju." "Isn't Jinju the place where Gyeong Tak went?" "Yes, that's right." "Get that child to lead the army and order him to get this insurrection under control." "Convey my words." "Father, he was sent there for punishment." "How can you entrust him with such an important task?" "Military strategy and martial arts are his forte." "In addition, think of this as a way to atone for this mistake." "He will put in his best effort." "Hey!" "Stop it!" "What a terrible thing for you to do!" "Aren't you going to let him go immediately?" "What would a nobleman like you know?" "If you don't want to die, then shut up!" "He is the Royal Inspector, whose duty is to execute the Royal Decree." "If you harm a person like him, it is as good as saying that you are opposing the will of His Majesty and you'll be called a traitor!" "His Majesty?" "Why should poor peasants like us care about His Majesty?" "Just mind your own matters." "If you keep getting involved, there will be no guarantee that you will be free from harm." "Please stop it." "No one will be able to lay a finger on him." "If you dare harm even a strand of hair of his Lordship, we'll all perish together on the path to hell!" "Hey!" "You, come on first!" "I will have 3 of you skewered and flipped over!" "I'm a member of the Royal Family, Lee Ha Eung!" "My Lord." "What is the matter?" "The Queen Dowager..." "has regained consciousness." "Execution by poison?" "What crime has Prince Heung Seon committed that is so severe that not only was he sentenced to be exiled, he was even ordered to be executed by poison?" "Left State Minister, did you influence the court's decision in arriving at that conclusion?" "Queen Dowager, it was a unanimous decision by all Court officials..." "I persuaded him." "His first crime was his failure to look after the poor people and holding a lavish banquet." "Secondly, he caused your safety to be compromised." "Although, he did not admit to being the mastermind, for these 2 crimes alone, it is sufficient to put him to death." "Left State Minister, it seems that you are not pointing towards Prince Heung Seon's crime now, but mine!" "Your humble servant wouldn't dare." "Then, it wouldn't be a problem to withdraw the execution order, right?" "As you wish, Queen Dowager." "But, the Royal Inspector already left quite a while ago to carry out the Royal Decree." "Have you sent out a messenger?" "Yes." "They left as soon as the King delivered his new judgment." "That's right." "I had sought an audience with the King and requested that Prince Heung Seon's life be spared." "Since the Left State Minister said that he would obey my wish, there's no need to discuss this further, right?" "As a result of the insurrection by the people of Jinju, the King has been worrying." "Instead of pondering over Prince Heung Seon's execution, isn't that a more pressing matter to deal with?" "The Left State Minister has already ordered that reinforcements be deployed." "Is that so?" "Well done!" "With the Left State Minister's presence, my heart is at ease." "Your grace is bountiful." "It's the Royal Decree!" "Get out of the way!" "It's a Royal Decree!" "It's still not done?" "When it's done, serve the balance of the poison." "Elder!" "You said that we were friends, right?" "Then, clear the path for you friend." "Elder, you can't leave just like that." "Even my bones hurt!" "I want, together with you, to have Joseon reformed for the benefit of its people." "A Royal Decree!" "Prince Heung Seon, accept the Royal Decree!" "Just for a brief moment of time, I've not been able to make the right decision and almost lost a loyal subject." "It has been determined that no crime was committed and that you are innocent." "Lee Ha Eung should return to the capital city as soon as he receives this decree." "Your grace is bountiful, Your Majesty." "Agassi, what is going on?" "How can they treat the people in the same way they treat animals like cows and pigs?" "No wonder the people started this insurrection." "You will be hurt if we proceed." "Let's take another route." "Gae Bok, run faster like the horse!" "What are you doing?" "How dare a person drawing a salary from the government commit such a heinous crime?" "Let go of her immediately!" "You are bold!" "Agassi." "It looks like you are not from this village." "You got the courage to stare at me, aren't you?" "Do you know who I am?" "Looking at your attire, you appear to be the magistrate of this village." "Don't you feel ashamed?" "For a person whose duty is to look after the people, you actually attempted to outrage the modesty of a woman in broad daylight." "She is the daughter of one of the insurgents who attacked the local office." "I was personally interrogating her to get information of the insurgent's whereabouts and you dare interfered with it?" "Whether you are interrogating or condemning the person, please carry it out according to the laws of the nation." "You are getting even bolder!" "All right..." "Why?" "Why?" "Here, I am the law of the nation!" "There isn't any indication of fear." "But, the charm of your pale face is better." "I'll just have to interrogate you once." "W...why are you doing this?" "Agassi..." " Chase them." " Yes!" "Agassi." "Who are you?" "These bastards are members of the insurgents, aren't you?" "I..insurgents?" "What nonsense are you saying?" "The person beside me is..." "I am relative of the King, Lee Ha Eung." "Upon receipt of the King's Royal Decree, I have executed it and I am currently on the way to Hanyang." "Then, please be on your way." "There's a slight issue here." "The lady here is coming along with us." "Where is the local magistrate?" "He went to the village to eliminate the remaining insurgents." "Despite going there, he will find no one except women and children." "It looks like he is someone who is keen show off his achievements." "Feed the horses and let the soldiers rest." "In the meantime, do further checks on the insurgents' movements in this area." "Yes!" "The insurgents!" "Attack!" "Impudent insurgents!" "Have them blocked!" "Attack!" "It is not safe for women to travel by themselves here." "Orabeoni is staying in a temple which is located behind that hill." "(orabeoni - older brother of a female)" "While on the way here, I heard that the Court had already deployed the Reinforcement troops." "If the insurgents were to meet head on with the reinforcement troops, the consequences will be dire." "When the insurrection subsides, you can always return." "For now, it is best for you to remain with us." "Thank you for your concern." "I will handle my personal matters myself." "My Lord, I am relieved to see that you are fine." "I'll see you in Hanyang then." "Bu Nim, go along with them." "Inform mother that I will definitely bring Orabeoni home." "Tell her not to worry." "Please go ahead first." "I will be going with her." "Please take care of the lady." "Once I arrive in Hanyang, I'll proceed to meet up with the Court officials." "I will report on what happened here and try to find a solution to pacify the people's hearts." "All right." "Elder, you must be careful on the road too." "Then, I'll rely on you to take care of him." "All right." "You don't have to worry." "I will be right beside him all the way to Hanyang." "Agassi." "I've already told you that I will take care of my personal matter." "I'm also heading toward the temple where Scholar Hong is putting up." "There's no need for you to do this." "I can go there myself." "I'm going there on my own too." "I'm not trailing you." "Agassi, let's sit here before continuing." "I'm all right." "You don't look all right to me." "Have a sit here." "It looks like a blister has formed on your feet." "It requires bursting it." "If it is not done, you will continue experiencing pain all the time." "It's done." "You are angry over the things that I said..." "No, I'm not." "You are reminded of your sweetheart from the other world." "So, that's why you were feeling sad when I was near you." "I can understand it." "I am foolish too." "Just as you suddenly arrived in this time, you could also disappear just like that one day." "I even put this kind of pressure on you." "No, it is not." "Agassi, you have always been grateful and I regard you as someone important to me." "Me too." "I have always been grateful to you and I regard you as someone important to me." "However, our fate and destiny will not go beyond that." "Please save me." "Look here!" "Look here!" "Are you all right?" "Please save me." "He was stabbed with a sword." "He looks like the local magistrate that we saw earlier on." "Firstly, we have to move him somewhere where he can be treated." "Look here!" "Try to stand up." "Having seen you, Queen Dowager recovered, your humble servant would have no regrets even if death beckons now." "Just like me who went to the gates of hell and returned, the same could be said to Prince Heung Seon too." "We were on the verge of losing an important member of the Royal Family." "My disloyal behaviour has caused Queen Dowager to be ill at ease." "Please punish me with death." "It wasn't easy for me to convince His Majesty to spare your life and now you are asking to be put to death?" "I can't accede to your request." "Your humble servant's visit today is to report a pressing matter to you, Queen Dowager and His Majesty." "What is the matter?" "The public sentiment around Jinju's vicinity is very alarming." "Public order has been disrupted and exploitation by the local officials was rampant." "As a result, those peasants who could no longer endure it rose up with their sickles and pikes." "I am aware of that." "Due to that, His Majesty is very concerned." "We still have time, Your Majesty." "We should have a new tax reform to placate the people, and corrupt officials must be punished severely." "For your humble servant to present this proposal to His Majesty, please let me have an audience with His Majesty." "All right." "Is there anyone out there?" "Lie down." "Please prepare some hot water." "Agassi." "This person is not worth saving." "What do you mean by that?" "I saw it with my own eyes, how he outraged the modesty of a woman and killed her without thinking." "You are saying that he killed an innocent person?" "He masquerades as a human, but behind that facade, he is much worse than an animal." "So, it is all right for him to die?" "Are you telling me it isn't?" "We can never be sure what kind of terrible acts he will commit if we save him." "You are wrong." "What do you mean?" "A doctor doesn't differentiate among those he wants to save." "Regardless of who this person is or what he had done before," "I will give my best to save him." "What if, 10, no 100, innocent lives were to be lost because of him, what would you do?" "For those innocent lives lost, are you going to take responsibility for that?" "I will only take responsibility for this patient who is right before me." "Perhaps, in the world that you come from, such an action would be appropriate." "But, I don't agree with that." "The medical skills that you learned from me..." "was it only that much?" "Do you think that you will become a doctor just by giving injections and prescribing medicine?" "You are gravely mistaken!" "If that is your way of thinking, then you've learned the wrong way." "Regardless of his good or evil disposition, a doctor must save the person's life." "Even if there is a slightest glimmer of hope, a doctor has to persevere till the end!" "Yes, I didn't understand this at first." "Until I had some sense knocked into me by that person, I was a hypocrite myself!" "I don't want to listen anymore." "Why..." "why are mentioning her to me?" "I am not your sweetheart." "I am..." "Hong Yeong Rae!" "Standing right here before you now and living in Joseon is Hong Yeong Rae!" "I am sorry." "I can't help you with the operation." "I've said before, you are really like her." "The more I see you, the more I think of her..." "and the more I miss her." "But you... are not her." "I am not your sweetheart." "I am..." "Hong Yeong Rae!" "Standing right here before you now and living in Joseon is Hong Yeong Rae!" "The peritoneum seems to be pierced and emergency operation is required." "(Peritoneum-thin membrane protecting the abdominal cavity)" "Had the major blood vessels been cut, the consequences would have been worse." "As I don't have any anesthetic, please bear with the pain." "So long as you save me," "I'll reward you generously." "Just be quiet and stay still." "What?" "I'm afraid you may end up biting your tongue, so bite on this." "Fortunately, there are no injuries to the internal organs, but the small intestine is torn." "If this is not treated quickly, peritonitis* will set in, (*-inflammation of peritoneum) which will lead to sepsis*." "(*a condition in which the body is fighting severe infection that has spread via the bloodstream)" "That fellow was stabbed with a sword, but where on earth did he escape to?" "Let's search here." "Who is in there?" "Open the door!" "There... that's the magistrate!" "I don't have time." "Before the operation site can be closed up enough for the wound to heal on its own, the bleeding has to be stopped so that sutures can be applied." "Open door!" "Open door!" "Stop!" "There is a patient inside." "Not you again." "What about it now?" "Are you that bastard's accomplice?" "Move aside if you don't want to get yourself killed!" "Please wait till the operation is over." "Otherwise, you will have to kill me first in order to get in." "You think we wouldn't dare to kill you?" "You are not allowed in until the operation is over." "Dr. Jin, please continue with the operation." "Everyone, what are you all doing?" "All right, let's kill this impudent woman here." "Open the door and drag that local magistrate out!" "Drag him out!" "Drag him out!" "Quickly!" "The local magistrate has been captured!" "These rotten brats all belong to the same gang." "Round all of them up together immediately!" "Drag them away!" "Drag them away!" "Lee Gyu Ri..." "If your intention is to go to His Majesty's quarters, it is futile." "What is this?" "When I visited the Queen Dowager just now, she allowed me to see His Majesty..." "His Majesty has already retired, as he isn't feeling well." "I've also made a futile trip, not being able to have an audience with His Majesty." "Then, how about the running of the government?" "During this period of time, he issued an order allowing the Court officials to deal with any matters themselves." "My Lord, we meet again here." "I've heard that you've suffered a lot." "It's fortunate that it is all over." "I'm grateful to you My Lord, for everything." "How critical is His Majesty's illness?" "His Majesty is weak to begin with." "His condition fluctuates every minute, between yesterday and today, as well as between morning and evening." "The Royal Physician is giving his all to prescribe the appropriate medicine, so we will see an improvement gradually." "I'm doing my utmost for this." "The Court officials are waiting for us." "Let go quickly, Father." "The public sentiment is alarming." "If you try to suppress them with force, the resulting reaction will be even worse than this." "So..." "Leave the government administration to me." "Prince Heung Seon, why don't you pay a visit to the Queen Dowager and be her confidante?" "The bastard magistrate has been captured!" "The bastard magistrate has been captured!" "Ora..orabeoni?" "Trail those insurgents!" "Don't let them slip away!" "Jong Sa Gwan, that guy is the insurgent's leader!" "Chase them!" "Let's go!" "My Lord, the rebels have attacked the magistrate." "What?" "The soldiers were killed and the magistrate was stabbed, so he couldn't flee and was captured." "It appears he has now been taken to their fortress." "How is the fortress?" "Their weapons are inferior." "However, their leader is well-versed in martial arts." "Why is your expression like that?" "Nothing." "Have the soldiers prepare for the attack." "We will strike when the day breaks." "Yes!" "Yeong Hwi... it looks like our fates are too closely intertwined." "We've just gone too far." "You are frightening me, Yeong Rae." "Orabeoni, you are the person to be afraid of." "You mentioned that studying was your reason for going to the temple, so how did you end up being the leader of the insurgents?" "I still don't understand exactly what is happening." "But Yeong Rae, the way the world is, it is telling me to replace the brush with the sword." "Orabeoni!" "You asked me how I became the leader of the insurgents?" "Well, on the day of the insurrection if I hadn't happened to be passing by and witnessed how people are dying because they don't know how to fight back, then I would probably be at the temple studying." "Prince Heung Seon has returned to Hanyang." "He said that he would find a solution." "With the Court officials all afraid of the Left State Minister, what could he possibly do?" "Isn't that better than sacrificing the lives of innocent people?" "You can't just turn this into a world of bloodshed!" "Are you thinking that the insurgents rose up in order to change the world they live in?" "It isn't like that." "They do not wish to die, they are actually crying out to to be heard and asking to be saved!" "Even so, nothing will change by doing this." "Ultimately, you will only end up losing more of those precious lives!" "Dr. Jin, when a patient is dying, do you just give up?" "Then, don't ask me to leave them." "Orabeoni." "When day breaks, set out with Dr. Jin." "With regards to mother, just tell her I'm fine." "Come with us." "Even if you are not around, there will be someone here to replace you." "Yeong Rae, the reason why you studied medicine is because you have no replacement right?" "That is why, you and I are very similar to each other." "Persistent..." "Secretive..." "Something is definitely wrong here." "The Jinju insurrection that I know of wasn't like this." "What do you mean?" "There was indeed an insurrection by the peasants, but it was limited to setting fire to the government offices and venting their anger on the corrupt officials." "Then they dispersed on their own." "But they did not organize themselves on a scale like this." "So, there is inconsistency between the history that you know and now?" "The biggest mistake that you made after coming here... was to save the life of the Left State Minister, Gim Byeong Hui." "Look here!" "Dr. Jin, why are you behaving like this?" "I... what have I done?" "Are you leaving to be someone's concubine?" "You are paying your respects to me, something you've not done before." "Given that you have returned from the verge of death, you deserve to be given such respect." "That makes sense." "Don't you agree, Prince Heung Seon?" "Did the matter you discussed with the Queen Dowager proceed well?" "The King is sick, and so are the people." "Pardon my disrespect, but if a successor has not been chosen and the King passes on, what will happen then?" "Whoever is supported by the Left State Minister will be chosen as the successor." "Anyway, that person will be nothing more than a mere puppet." "Then, until the problem of the succession has been resolved," "I will pray for His Majesty's health and well-being." "The Royal Physician is one of the Left State Minister's followers." "We can't let our guard down." "His Majesty's health is within their control just like the back of their palm." "Lee Gyu Ri, this idea just struck my mind." "How about having Dr. Jin transferred from Hwal In Seo to the Royal Hospital?" "Then they could not use His Majesty's health as their trump card, could they?" "Even if the enters the Royal Hospital, it is under the charge of the Royal Physician." "Even with an order by the Queen Dowager, if he declines it, there is nothing we can do." "The Royal Physician, Yu Hong Pil, will never agree to it, right?" "It seems that the Royal Physician is the root of the problem." "If you can't move the rock, then use a lever." "Should I introduce you to a good lever?" "My Lord, I'm really sorry." "The group of insurgents is holding the local magistrate hostage at their fortress." "We will be mounting a surprise attack to exterminate those rebels." "Have the fighting spirit as if you could kill 100 insurgents and show them how dignified is the Royal Decree!" "Is that understood?" "Yes!" "Attack!" "Tie up the local magistrate for now and wait." "He will prove to be useful if the course of the war turns against us." "Yes." "What are you doing here?" "Didn't I tell you to leave?" "I won't leave alone." "Yeong Rae." "This is one battle where you have no chance of winning." "You shouldn't have begun the battle in the first place." "Just stop now while there is still time." "Surrender your weapons..." "No matter what I say, they won't listen to me anymore." "They have been exploited all their lives." "What could be scarier than that now?" "Please." "Orabeoni, please..." "Please protect my sister, Dr. Jin." "To mother," "convey to her that I'm doing well in my studies." "Just tell her this." "Orabeoni." "Attack!" "Break the gates down!" "Fight with all your hearts!" "Throw the rocks!" "Archers!" "Shoot the arrows!" "Attack!" "Firearms!" "Get ready!" "Fire!" "Break the gates down!" "Breach it!" "No matter what, do not stop!" "Everyone, attack!" "The fortress gate has been breached!" "My Lord." "Leave the fortress and retreat." "Bring the magistrate along and escape." "Yes!" "My Lord!" "Look for the magistrate first!" "All of you, follow me!" "The rest can remain to eradicate the insurgents!" "Yes!" "Dr. Jin..." "I have to go back." "Whether they are soldiers or peasants, I'm sure there will be many wounded." "I can't just leave like this." "Let's do that." "Let's..." "No, it is dangerous for Agassi to be there." "I'll go there myself." "In the meantime, you go wait for me at the village." "No, I want to help too!" "Will you just listen to me?" "Please!" "I don't want to see Agassi hurt or meet with any kind of danger." "Don't you understand?" "This has nothing to do with my relationship with her." "But you, standing right before me now... because of you, it makes it difficult for me!" "With you standing before me like this, it reminds me of the time when we were practicing swordfighting." "You used to lose to me." "Have you forgotten that later I beat you many times?" "Thank you for clearing the false charge leveled against Yeong Rae." "I've told you before that if we were ever to meet again, you would surely die at the point of my sword." "If it is your sword," "I'll accept it willingly." "You are indeed foolish, my friend." "Gyeong Tak..." "My only friend has already departed to the netherworld." "I no longer have any friend now." "No!" "Yeong Hwi..." "Yeong Hwi..." "Yeong Hwi!" "When reporting to the Court, please call attention to the fact that I killed the leader of the insurgents." "I've used this well." "Orabeoni!" "Orabeoni!" "Orabeoni!" "Orabeoni!" "Here, have it signed here." "Out of the 10 000 nyang that was loaned out, 2000 nyang is deducted in advance as interest." "(nyang - unit of currency)" "You are aware of that, right?" "Just hand it over to me quickly." "My luck in the games is getting better now!" "Anyway, why are you in such a hurry?" "Since you have stolen from the country's treasury," "I hope if that is discovered, this lowly person won't be the only one punished, right?" "The country's treasury is just like mine, Gim Byung Ok's." "If anyone dares to fault you after looking at this signature, let me know immediately when it happens!" "Since you have put it that way," "I will just believe you." "Are you all right?" "There is a process for everything." "Here." "I heard that there is rat embezzling the country's treasury and gambling it away, so that's why I'm here." "It is you, My Lord?" "Prince Heung Seon..." "If I have this signature shown to His Majesty or the Queen Dowager, even the Left State Minister's intervention will not be able to shield you, My Lord." "Who are you threatening now?" "I'm the Vice Finance Minister from the Finance Ministry, Kim Byung Ok!" "You impudent fellow!" "A thief and you still dare raise your voice in front of me?" "Your signature is enough for me to call the Royal Investigators here immediately!" "Will you only wake up when you are stripped of your title and have your head chopped off?" "Why.. why..." "Why are you being like this, Prince Heung Seon?" "Look here, My Lord." "You are free to gamble, but have some wine with me first." "I'd like to have a discussion with you regarding the state of the current affairs." "What does it say?" "Perhaps, he has decided to run away after being defeated by the insurgents?" "Are you hoping for that?" "Well... it isn't like that..." "That fellow is just full of himself and rude as well." "Being full of himself is just his nature." "He said that he eradicated all those insurgents without missing a single one." "Since he has accomplished something great, I should have him recalled." "You heard me?" "Yes." "There's no gallbladder in my body." "Just none." "Do you know how I came to be like this?" "That's because I have offered it to the Left State Minister, so that's how I ended up like this." "A long time ago, I gave him all my internal organs to him!" "Even though you are so loyal to him, he doesn't seem to hold you in high regard." "He has the whole world under him." "There's no need for him to treat anyone nicely." "Do this... do that.." "That's right..." "No, wrong!" "It's really frustrating!" "Here... here... have a drink, to placate your heart of the unfairness that you are feeling, Vice Minister." "There is a saying that a woman dolls herself up for the person she loves." "A scholar on the other hand is willing to risk his life for someone who values him." "That's right." "That's why I have been saying." "As I look back, it seems that my words strike a chord with you, Prince Heung Seon." "Your courage weighs as much as I do." "You flatter me!" "Here... here... here..." "Let's drink to our hearts' content." "Here... here." "Please accept another cup from me." "Make it full." "This mountain... and another mountain." "The flowers are blossoming." "It must be the arrival of spring." "Spring comes and go but the problem of the Left State Minister remain." "He got intoxicated and fell asleep." "Make him some soup for the hangover tomorrow morning." "With his signature on the note, you've acquired a good trump card for yourself." "In gambling, once the cards have been fixed the bets are placed." "Regardless of a good or bad card, whether you win or lose in the game depends on how you put the cards in your hand to use." "The report on Jinju has arrived." "The insurgents who gathered in the vicinity of the fortress have been virtually annihilated." "Dr. Jin, how about Dr. Jin?" "There's no news of him." "The leader of the insurgents has been killed." "What if, 10, no 100, innocent lives were to be lost because of him, what would you do?" "For those innocent lives lost, are you going to take responsibility for that?" "She is very tired physically and in a state of shock too." "She will get better if she rests for the next 1 or 2 days." "Leave here immediately before I have you arrested as one of the insurgents." "I've already lost my friend." "Do you think I would have any qualms about slashing someone like you?" "I'll have to rely on you to look after Agassi." "And, please get the doctor to boil some fever concoction to reduce the fever." "Please do me this favor." "This is all my fault." "Because I saved that man, he died eventually because of me." "Yeong Hwi himself chose the path of death." "That's all." "Show me the prettiest one here." "All right." "This one is pretty and is suitable for the lady." "My Lady, how about this?" "Aigoo, this color is suitable for me." "Give it back to me." "My Lady, what about this?" "My Lady, your hand is really soft." "Is that really so?" "You!" "Gyeong Tak..." "Aigoo!" "Yeong Rae." "Let's go." "My Lady, don't get the wrong idea." "It's just a misunderstanding." "This is just a misunderstanding!" "Father, your son is going to Seo Dang." "(Seo Dang - private school)" " Myeong Bok." " Yes..." "This is the case of a greedy official." "He had the name of an infant included on the army rolls and kept the name of a deceased person on the rolls with the intention of levying more tax." "How should the people handle this?" "They should report what had been done by the corrupt official to the authorities." "What if the Court officials are just as corrupt as the magistrate?" "Then they should beat the drum and report the matter to the King directly." "Suppose the King's ears and eyes are covered, then what should be done?" "If that's the case..." "Then, against the insurgents who revolted, is it right to suppress them by force using swords and spears?" "According to the teaching of the saints, swords should be used to rule the barbarians while people should be governed based on their virtue." "That's right." "Hurry, go to the Seo Dang." "Yes, Father." "I've heard that the chaos in the vicinity of the Southern prefectures is subsiding." "That is really fortunate." "When a baby is crying, it can only be consoled by embracing it." "Even if the crying is stopped through the application of violence, we won't know when the baby will end up crying again." "That is so true." "If the people in the palace are ill at ease, how can the people at large be calm?" "How could I not be aware of that?" "Queen Dowager, having been worried about His Majesty's ill health, your humble servant has a solution." "Solution?" "Yes." "What is it?" "Tell me!" "What is the solution to improve on His Majesty's health." "Do you remember Dr. Jin from Hwal In Seo?" "Of course I remember!" "Although he was charged with the crime of attempting to kill you, Queen Dowager, it was subsequently determined that he was wrongly charged." "So?" "How about transferring Dr. Jin from the Hwal In Seo to the Royal Hospital to enable him to treat His Majesty's illness?" "With his skills, there must definitely be a marked improvement." "I can recommend him, but isn't the authority of deciding who works in the Royal Hospital rests on the Royal Physician?" "I have no authority on matters pertaining to the Royal Hospital." "Queen Dowager, you just have to give the order and your humble servant will do the rest." "Then, we'll do as you suggest, Prince Heung Seon." "Your grace is bountiful!" "Prince Heung Seon." "I was just looking for you." "Just a moment." "Let's go to the side." "Have you eaten hangover soup?" "You didn't hold your wine as well as I thought." "Last night, did I say something which is not meant to be said?" "Saying something which is not supposed to be said?" "Let me see..." "You mentioned Gim Dae Gyun has 6..." "7 concubines from the gisaeng house." "You said that you were the mastermind in selling away government posts." "As for the Left State Minister, he just needs to make a coughing sound and he earns more money than you, right?" "What do you call this..." "slip of the tongue?" "This is the kind of story that you listen to once and forget right away." "That's good." "Will you just pretend that you didn't hear about it?" "But, even if I were to forget something that I've heard once, the signed note that I have in my hand will not be forgotten." "I have gotten the permission of the Queen Dowager on something." "I'll need your help for that." "What is it?" "In the presence of the Left State Minister and the Royal Physician, just say the words that I tell you to." "Prince Heung Seon has been here several times looking for you." "It seems like he has something important to tell you?" "Aigoo, your face has shrunk." "You must be mentally and physically stretched!" "Transferring Dr. Jin to the Royal Hospital?" "That's right." "I've received the order from the Queen Dowager's pavilion." "They should have a good look around before stretching their legs." "What kind of nonsense is this?" "Isn't that right?" "Well... that's quite true." "Prince Heung Seon recommended this?" "He sought an audience with the Queen Dowager very early in the morning." "It's quite obvious." "Given that His Majesty is critically ill, what exactly is he trying to do by sending Dr. Jin?" "What is there to consider regarding the transfer?" "As the Royal Hospital is under the direct charge of the Royal Physician, direct rejection will suffice." "This... how about we look from a different perspective?" "Consider all the things that Dr. Jin has accomplished till now." "He prevented the cholera and produced new medicine as well." "Taking these into account, he has been successful to a certain extent, right?" "My Lord!" "Hold on, continue with what you were saying." "So, instead of having him working and causing trouble somewhere out of sight of the Royal Physician and My Lord, it could be to our benefit to have him transferred to the Royal Hospital." "What do you think?" "Well..." "The Royal Hospital is already under your control like the palm of your hand, right?" "With Dr. Jin placed in that palm, together with the Royal Hospital, there will be nothing to worry about in the future." "Furthermore, we will be praised for how we compromised to help the Queen Dowager save face." "To take credit for making the concession is not a bad thing for us either." "Well, that does make sense too, but..." "If the Royal Physician has no concern, then, it would be advisable to act according to the suggestion of the Vice Finance Minister." "If His Lordship has given the order as such, then there is no need for further discussion and we will follow as we are directed." "How..." "could you possibly think of such a plan?" "I really have to give you more regard, My Lord." "Well, if your opponent advances 2 steps ahead, then I have to look ahead 3 or even 4 steps in advance." "That is what is known as politics." "Politics?" "Politics." "For the time being, we could only wait and see." "What smart idea does Prince Heung Seon have?" "We will get the answer by observing the Vice Finance Minister's behavior from now on." "Until he outlives his usefulness, just pretend that you are not aware." "Yes." "In any case, will it be really all right to transfer Dr. Jin to the Royal Hospital?" "The King will not be able to hold out for long." "When the King passes on, shouldn't someone in the Royal Hospital shoulder the responsibility?" "When there is absolutely nothing else that can be done, at that opportune time, we will have use for Dr. Jin." "We shot the arrow and then push the responsibility on him before chasing him away, right?" "What do you mean?" "Scholar Hong's death was caused by you?" "It turned out this way because of the patient I provided treatment to." "It's as good as saying I killed him." "Then, the Lady?" "I didn't get to say a word to her." "I'm sure she must certainly have hated me." "A waste of a great talent." "How could that be..." "You must have felt sad as well." "I'm not sure if this news will lift your spirits." "A command has been issued for you to be transferred to the Royal Hospital." "Royal Hospital?" "You will be treating His Majesty, the King." "But, how can I treat the King?" "Didn't you say you wanted to help me?" "Then, please do not turn down my request, Dr. Jin." "I'm begging you as a friend." "My Lord, everything that has been changed by you since you came to this time must be restored to its original state." "The Royal Hospital..." "I will go there." "Dr. Jin!" "Have you been waiting for a long time?" "His Majesty is not at the Great Hall, but resting at his private residence." "Your magnanimity deserves to be admired." "You really live up to the expectations of being the Royal Physician of this nation." "This is for the benefit of the Royal Family." "I can't possibly let myself be affected by my personal feelings, can I?" "Please follow me." "Your Majesty, the Royal Physician, Prince Heung Seon, and the newly appointed Royal doctor seek an audience with you."
