You...
I'll hide in the city.
For the sake of saving the Bon Won, a Ui Ueon Ryeong was issued.
Bon Won Young Master Jeong Gi Jun, is Ga Ri On.
Didn't you see the Juja being burned, the bloodshed in the palace?
Wait for the next order, Lee Sin Jeok.
I want to see Ga Ri On immediately.
Lee Do. You can't do anything.
What exactly is going on?
Sir.
Aigoo. Sir. (Aigoo - oh dear, oh my god)
You have worked hard.
How is this hard work?
I was incompetent, encountering such matters.
Is there meat remaining?
What? Actually, there is meat,
but what is it for?
Then, arrange it for a feast.
We're going to Jeong Yun Cliff, the mountain behind the Royal Academy.
Jeong Yun Cliff?
Come up.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
Aigoo. Your Majesty.
Come up.
Aigoo. I can't, Your Majesty, I don't dare.
Didn't I tell you to come up?
Aigoo. I am but a butcher.
How... how can you say that?
So, a butcher won't listen to His Majesty's order like this?
Yes.
Quickly. I told you to come up.
Yes.
Come.
Aigoo. I can't, how can I...
I issued a secret order,
but I was only a spectator.
But you talked to me about kindheartedness and justice,
and also defended yourself.
So I wanted to pour you wine, and called you over.
Here, have a drink.
Aigoo!
Quickly.
Also pour me a cup.
I heard that here is where traitor Jeong Do Jeon,
when he was a Confucian scholar at the Royal Academy,
and other Confucian scholars discussed knowledge together.
That's why the Confucian scholars of the Royal Academy,
also secretly gather here now,
mourning Jeong Do Jeon's soul.
Really?
Is the butcher of Banchon really Mil Bon's Bon Won Jeong Gi Jun?
Yes.
Wu-Yin (fifteenth year E3 of the 60 year cycle, e. G 1998 or 2058) quiet society after Jeong Do Gwang sir get him sent to melt village came.
Then why a butcher, he could also have been an intellectual's adopted son.
At that time, no one, no one would believe it.
Sir Jeong Do Gwang passed away, the Mil Bon also disappeared.
There was nothing on hand.
Then what did you and the Mil Bon do?
The Mil Bon's loyalty is dedicated to Sir Jeong Do Gwang,
and not dedicated to a 22 year old young man.
So from the Royal Academy and Banchon, the Mil Bon was being rebuilt.
That way the assembled Confucian scholars and young officials will already be many.
You know what kind of ceremony the Confucian scholar's do at Jeong Yun Cliff?
Can it be, that at Jeong Yun Cliff they mourn Teacher Sam Bong's customs?
Yes, it was where the Bon Won pointed.
Just like the original custom, it was said to those Confucian scholars.
Furthermore, now everyone is following it.
He said, Joseon's Confucian scholars won't forget Teacher Sam Bong.
That was the start of the Mil Bon.
Preparing like this, a full 24 years.
Jeong Do Jeon taught here.
Numerous Confucian scholars underneath wanted to listen to him.
Your Majesty, I don't understand this.
Only Confucian scholars let me bring meat and wine here.
I called you here today,
because I believe only Teacher Sam Bong can understand the order I gave you.
Teacher Sam Bong can understand the order I was given.
Because I have his book, I read it again and again, and came to a conclusion.
Read it again and again.
A lot of people say I go against Neo-Confucianism,
but I feel that Teacher Sam Bong would think the same as me.
Exactly what is the relationship between the order given to me and Teacher Sam Bong.
Why do you believe I issued you that order?
The order to prepare a dissection.
What kind of thoughts could I have?
I only know I don't know what the dissection is for,
so I don't know how to prepare.
I will do the preparations.
Tomorrow when it strikes midnight, secretly come to Jeong Yun Cliff.
In the palace?
Yes.
I feel that the palace will be a bit safer.
And also, I want to personally see it.
What?
Your Majesty, personally?
Yes.
Don't I need to dissect some kind of animal?
It's not an animal.
What?
What do you mean by that?
Are you talking about a corpse?
That's right.
You can't let anyone know, you need to proceed secretly.
Yes.
That fellow Pak Po, I don't know if he's guarding well or not.
You guys talk.
I sincerely thank you. Thank you very much.
Please don't be like that.
For the sake of His Majesty's righteousness,
Don't take your own life and gamble with it.
If you want to sleep, want to escape, want to live,
just give up everything, and just sleep.
That way you can escape, and that way you can live on.
Then Royal Guard, why did you eat wild jujube seeds and jack tree?
Do those things work well?
Of course, they don't work well.
So such childishly. As worst tranquil feelings to drift and live without purpose ; to drag out an ignoble existence.
That's why I'm telling you this.
You're still young. For the sake of His Majesty's lousy righteousness,
do you have to bet your life?
Aigoo, this mouth of mine, really deserves to be hit.
A slip of the tongue, pretend you didn't hear it.
I know His Majesty better than myself. I believe His Majesty wants to continue to develop the world.
That, will let me escape.
It's not an animal.
Is Lee Do crazy?
What exactly does he want to do?
Wanting to draw a diagram of a person's dissection?
Sir Bon Won.
You're here.
Matters became like this.
Second Counselor Sim Jong Su paying my respects to Bon Won.
Didn't I tell you to guard her well?
You said it.
So I say, not even a rat was here.
Do Dam Daek, she escaped in the time it takes incense to burn.
You fellow, can't you hush up for a moment?
You want to stir up the place?
Hey, but he's saying that Do Dam Daek disappeared.
It's because this stupid pig ate pork and fell asleep afterwards.
In the end, it's no good.
What do you say?
Thinking it over,
it seems there are several paths.
Although there's only one place to enter, when leaving there can be three or four.
I know. Let's all think it over again.
Yes.
Hey. Hey.
When I was guarding just now, someone came to look for you.
Who?
He wanted me to call you.
He thought that a Royal Guard would see anyone.
I was like this with him. After cursing at him for a while, I drove him out.
Who was it?
He didn't say who he was. Told me to pass this on to you.
What did he say?
Ah, Ddol Bok.
Is it Changbaeksan?
Master is at Changbaeksan, right?
Yes.
Is he studying?
No, he's not there now.
I was told he didn't know when he will be back.
Who told you?
I don't know.
He looked like a disciple or a housekeeper.
So you just immediately came back, right?
In my opinion, it looked like he was lying,
so I hid nearby.
But that fellow suddenly packed his luggage and left.
I guess he went to report to Master.
So I quietly followed him,
but it was Hanyang.
Where in Hanyang?
That, there are no special issues, right?
That Royal Guard, is he here?
I'm a Royal Guard in the Byeol Gam, by the name of Jeong.
That's really great.
I, that... I want to see a person called Gang Chae Yun.
Hearing that tone of yours, it seems like you're from the North.
But, when speaking of the north, it's especially good for men.
That, I'm unable to describe it with words.
Heard have call cummerbund.
Cummerbund.
Hong Cheol Su.
Yes, Sir.
I'll immediately go and call him.
You just wait here for a moment.
Thank you.
That pig, how come he's no use at all to me.
Hey. Hey. Hey. He came. He came.
To men, it's especially good.
That...
Hey. What happened?
How did this happen?
No, no. Just now he was here. That person just now, where did he go?
There.
No, just now he was still here.
He'll come back in a moment.
No, what do you mean he'll be coming back?
Ah! really...
What are you doing getting angry at me?
Chulsangsul.
It was that fellow.
You came to see Gang Chae Yun?
What's the relationship between Gang Chae Yun and Master?
I don't know. He's not your Master.
He never treated you as an apprentice.
Shut his mouth.
No, the trail's ended.
How about telling Jeong Byeol Gam and letting him search all around.
Ddol Bok, he said he knows this name?
Yes.
So, who is Ddol Bok?
Who is it?
In addition, that fellow took him away.
Pak Po is right. We should get everyone to search together.
Otherwise, how will we find him?
Cho Tak, I'm asking who Ddol Bok is.
Taking me for air, are you?
Answer, you fellows!
I'm going, you guys search yourselves.
Really.
What is that white stuff?
Isn't that limestone powder?
What's limestone powder?
He said that person used Northern dialect.
I'm asking you what limestone powder is.
Northern dialect?
You'll die if you eat it.
These two fellows, really!
It's here, nearby.
You're taking this too hard,
it will be fine if you just say how Gang Chae Yun is related to Master.
Right?
What?
What are you saying?
It's that person.
What happened?
Catch him!
You... are Gang Chae Yun?
Stop!
Rotten brat.
Actually dare to draw your knife in front of me.
Come here!
Who are you?
Who are you... to actually know Ddol Bok?
Lee Bang Ji... elder.
Obediently follow, rotten brat.
Come, quickly.
What happened? Are you all right?
You?
De... Dead.
What is this?
A small branch, actually going through the body.
Is that possible?
Did it undo again?
Give it to me. I'll do it again.
You fellow, actually daring to act on your own.
Tell me what really happened!
Suddenly something flashed past.
I didn't know what it was. I felt something cold behind me.
So, I instinctively turned around...
After that I don't remember.
I was also the same.
No counter strike. Perhaps when we see the Qing people.
Anyway we can say something to Jeong Byeol Gam.
I'll just be a moment...
This isn't just a trifling matter.
He was struck from behind.
This small branch actually penetrated the spine and went inside.
Furthermore, it accurately went through the heart.
After that he died instantly.
This kind of martial art, does it really exist in this world?
Could it be that masked brat?
No, at that time, we were confronting each other.
Then who could it be?
This kind of expert...
Is possibly at Master's level.
No, it could possibly be above that.
A killing technique I've never heard or seen before.
My name not being mentioned is fine.
Other people all just call me by my family name of Han.
How come you're serving the Bon Won?
Ah, yes.
Originally, after passing the imperial examination, I would have taken charge of the Office of Inspector General.
But my personality really isn't suitable for an official,
so I have just been staying by Bon Won's side.
Of course, every year I still take part in the imperial examinations like before.
Deliberately failing is also not a simple matter.
This time, the preparations for the meet up...
There are no problems.
If there are problems...
It will be those who have directly shown loyalty to Teacher Sam Bong,
the Mil Bon's Won elders.
Isn't there Master Hae Gang?
Master Hae Gang will also come, the Won elders who wouldn't dare not come.
Yes.
Those who come will always come.
But...
there is certainly an ulterior motive... So,
certainly having that thing is best.
Mil Bon's warrior?
Yes, since it's a secretly formed association,
there are certainly trained forces.
I was thinking of having a group of warriors with excellent abilities.
You should know something about this area.
This is matter of long ago.
I remember amongst the Mil Bon, there was Joseon's best swordsman.
If it was Joseon's best swordsman,
wouldn't it be the Chief Palace Guard?
Now, it's certainly like this.
But...
that time, there was one, that Mu Hyul was a little worse than...
An expert.
That was Jeong Do Jeon's bodyguard.
But...
Just like Jeong Do Jeon death the Wu-Yin (fifteenth year E3 of the 60 year cycle, e. G 1998 or 2058) quiet society that night.
he disappeared.
Why didn't he guard Jeong Do Jeon, but disappeared?
It really is hard for people to understand.
The strange thing is that person took the Mil Bon scroll,
and disappeared.
Mil Bon scroll.
Are you talking about the Mil Bon scroll?
That is it.
The Mil Bon scroll.
For sure there are a lot of Mil Bon members curious about that thing.
The Mil Bon's true identity is Teacher Sam Bong's last words.
Is there something else?
I see, Sir, you have become curious.
Nonsense.
I, Sim Jong Su, as a Joseon scholar,
will not give righteousness to a piece of lousy paper.
Yes.
It should be like this.
Just...
The Mil Bon scroll has the meaning of forming the organization.
That Mil Bon scroll, what exactly is it?
Aside from containing Jeong Do Jeon's unfulfilled wish,
I am also not sure.
But one thing is certain,
Wu-Yin (fifteenth year E3 of the 60 year cycle, e. G 1998 or 2058) quiet society that night.
for the sake of finding the Mil Bon scroll that disappeared,
they used every means possible.
Did they find it?
Of that I'm unsure.
Why did Lee Bang Ji take that Mil Bon scroll and disappear?
- Furthermore... - You just...
mentioned who?
Lee Bang Ji.
At that time, Joseon's best, Jeong Do Jeon's bodyguard.
The Mil Bon scroll, what do you plan to do?
This time at the meet up, the Won elders will surely participate,
but they're only interested in the existence of the Mil Bon scroll.
It's certainly not for loyalty, they will clearly mention that matter.
That Sim Jong Su is also...
said it quite well, but certainly he's interested in the Mil Bon scroll.
Why not?
That thing is related to Mil Bon's name.
But we don't have....
What should we do?
Ever since that strange substitute pouch, it's already been several years.
We found out that the owner of that pouch,
was Sir Sim On's slave, Ddol Bok.
Ever since going to the North, his whereabouts are unknown.
- It's not like you, talking so much. - What?
This is how I really am.
Lee Sin Jeok?
I've already given it to him.
Thinking about it, it is not simple.
Is that Mil Bon's order?
Tonight, participate in the meeting.
An order to pay respects to the Bon Won.
That Bon Won really is...
Jeong Gi Jun?
Don't go Sir.
It's already been a matter of numerous years ago.
Why is there a need to create ties with the Mil Bon again?
It's better to
use this opportunity to get rid of the Mil Bon's achievements.
Do you think I haven't thought of that?
But it can't be like this.
Why?
Because the Mil Bon...
What can that traitor's last words do?
Isn't it just a piece of paper?
If it was only like that, why would I be this worried.
Master.
Master was the Mil Bon's bodyguard.
So that's why he was hiding in a secret place.
The thing that Master took,
was the Mil Bon scroll.
This thing came into my hands.
My pouch.
Father's will.
What exactly is this thing?
That's right, whatever it is, it doesn't make any difference.
Did you see?
The clothes that His Majesty wore just now.
Yes. Yes.
There is surely some fun going on.
So we need to be extra careful.
Be extra careful of what?
Last time, the Chief Palace Guard said to His Majesty. You fellow!
After that he knelt on the ground in a hurry.
I couldn't hold back, and laughed.
Anyway, I have always told you everything I've seen.
You all wait a moment.
But...
Just now, amongst the medical herbs, I saw asthma weed and ginseng.
If there's some left, can you bring me some?
You want to wash your hair again?
What?
Using that to wash your hair is very good?
Don't you know?
In His Majesty's writings about country medicine, these are also included.
Yes, His Majesty says country medication integration is an immortal's way.
He first placed the asthma weed as the medical herb that can make people become immortal.
Really, then can you also help me get some.
Hey!
But...
Is something happening today?
That, I'm not too sure.
It's best if you ask His Majesty.
Fine.
Then, you should all continue with yesterday's explanation.
That...
His Majesty using organs of speech and pictographs to create characters.
Has it been prepared appropriately?
Yes.
Why does it need to be like this?
Your Highness,
even I can't accept this matter.
Can Your Highness accept it?
I can only believe in Abamama.
Your Majesty, why?
I also want to watch on the side.
To study sth to apply it.
Start.
Please forgive me.
Your Majesty, where should I start?
Mouth and neck.
What is this exactly, what is this?
It's taking much longer than I thought.
Your Highness.
Right Minister, what are you doing here this late?
Where is His Majesty, I have something important to report.
Are you looking for His Majesty?
Your Majesty.
Oh.
Why are you still here at this time, Right Minister?
You still haven't returned home?
Yes, Your Majesty, I...
What's wrong, say it if you have something.
Yes, Yes, Your Majesty.
I do have something to say, but it's already late now.
It's better if I say it at tomorrow morning's court.
All right.
Does that Right Minister already know our matters?
No, if he knew already, he wouldn't be stumbling over his words like that.
I am certain I won't be about to go happily.
I will surely go to the underworld.
What's wrong with you?
What happened?
Why are you crying?
Scholar, I really can't understand it.
His Majesty, why would he do such a thing...
Can you understand, scholar?
What exactly happened?
His Majesty...
Yes, what's wrong with His Majesty?
Actually dissected... a corpse.
Di... dissected?
You, don't know?
Hurry and say it clearly. Quickly.
This is the air passage for breathing.
This is the esophagus for swallowing food.
This narrow channel seems to be,
the place where sound can come out.
This place,
is the place where the throat sound 'Hu' comes out.
You with Teacher Su Ji have contacted.
Yes, I told him to speak well of that person's soul.
Is that so?
But, Your Majesty.
Mmm...
If I know what you're doing,
I can be more detailed.
This isn't something that a fellow like you should know.
Aigoo. I deserve to die.
No, those words make sense.
Is So I outside?
All right.
She is a child that lost her father because of me.
Later she became a mute.
I did that for the sake of helping that child speak.
So I. Because of So I?
So I, make the 'Na' sound.
You see it?
What?
To make a sound, the tongue needs to meet the top.
So I drew out different views of the tongue,
to let this child practice.
But currently she still can't accurately produce sounds.
So I researched the sound producing organs,
wanting to be familiar with the theory of making sounds.
Will Ga Ri On believe that?
You think I was lying to him?
What I said to Ga Ri On, is also from the heart.
Practice.
Didn't I tell you to practice when you have time?
Here, make the tongue sound 'Da'.
Da.
Look carefully, So I.
Da.
Your Majesty, please don't make too great an effort.
Do you know the reason?
He said it's because of that palace maid, So I.
What?
So, So I knows the secret of this matter?
A matter that even Seong Sam Mun and Pak Paeng Nyeon don't know.
One palace maid, knows this secret.
It is surely fake.
What So I is doing herself,
how she's being used, she doesn't even know.
It certainly is a very secretive matter.
Are you ready?
Already regular and thorough ; methodically arranged the carry out.
Servants can't follow.
You wait.
Yes.
Come with me.
His Majesty has arrived!
That person is all Gil Do Tang and Song dynasty provincial governor, in Tang times having military and civil authority, but only civil authority in Song Lee foundation stone.
He is also Mil Bon?
Everybody has done well coming this far.
Today, on Mil Bon's order, let's
gather together again, history is...
Bon Won, where is he?
- Master Hae Gang. - Isn't that Master Hae Gang?
When will the Bon Won come?
Your Majesty, is this the truth?
For the sake of seeing the sound producing organs clearly, a corpse was dissected. Is it true?
Your Majesty, even ignorant common people wouldn't do such a thing.
But, Your Majesty, you've gained a lot of knowledge,
how can you do such a thing?
How exactly is dissecting and creating words related?
Isn't this only Your Majesty's bias?
Right now Your Majesty's words are already outstanding.
But because of Your Majesty's bias to have to see clearly to understand,
this kind of cruel thing was done, right?
Yes. That,
saying I'm biased is fine. You're all making a fuss over nothing.
Your Majesty, I'm a magistrate.
Trust can be the basis of understanding.
I can't believe a matter no one understands.
So, I dare to request Your Majesty says it clearly.
I also think this.
I do too.
We do too, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, I also can't understand.
Why must you see a dissection diagram?
Why is this exactly?
You all just now said trust.
Trust isn't just the basis of understanding.
You all know during this time how I've done it,
but, you all still can't believe me?
Unable to listen and obey, right?
Isn't there always something that can't be explained?
Please explain, Your Majesty.
It's not easy to say, is it?
That also needs to be explained.
Using all your strength, it still needs to be explained.
You're saying this character is very outstanding, right?
Without question, yes.
No. This character has a fatal weakness.
Is the Bon Won still not here?
Here he comes.
Teacher Sam Bong, Jeong Do Jeon,
after opening Joseon,
to thief Lee Bang Won,
carried out a secret order. It has already been 48 years.
Although Teacher has already left,
the Mil Bon he left behind, is even more deeply rooted.
This point is confirmed here.
This really makes me endlessly happy.
Those being watched and persecuted up until now,
the Joseon Scholars that have carried on Teacher's unfulfilled wishes,
that is why Joseon still has hope.
Here it is declared,
Joseon is not a King's country,
but a scholar's country.
For the sake of protecting our ideals.
For the sake of protecting the foundation of Joseon that Teacher Sam Bong established.
Prime minister chairman system.
We need to take the power we have,
and gather it in one place.
Where does this one place refer to?
Yes. Where is the place we are gathering our power?
Tell us. Tell us.
Then,
we start with cancelling the Jiphyeonjeon.
Jiphyeonjeon's scholars are monopolizing Jiphyeon.
Jiphyeonjeon's research,
is above the powerful minister's strong disagreement, and the officials' loyalty.
The one atop Jiphyeonjeon is King Lee Do.
We...
Will protect prime minister chairman system.
As expected of Bon Won.
Lee Sin Jeok.
Being separated for this long, and seeing Bon Won's face,
it really makes people feel very touched.
Cautious observe Bon Won the decree lift up prime minister chairman system the ensign.
will certainly achieve Teacher Sam Bong's high ideals.
So I dare to ask Bon Won,
about the unfulfilled wishes and huge ideals of Teacher Sam Bong.
Please let us read the Mil Bon.
The reason you appeared, is this.
Jeong Gi Jun, I am not that easy to deal with.
Let us hear it.
If the King is a flower,
then the root is the Prime Minister.
If the flower is bad, the tree will not necessarily die.
But if the roots are bad, the tree will die.
The King is only Joseon's magnificent symbol,
and Joseon's root is the Prime Minister.
Then, Joseon's intellectuals,
please become this Joseon's roots.
Become the Mil Bon.
Protect Joseon.
Why not take it out and read?
Do you not have the Mil Bon?
Fatal weakness?
What's the difference between Chinese characters and our characters?
Chinese characters were created over several thousands of years,
but our characters over a mere ten years.
Furthermore, a few million people created the Chinese characters.
Our characters were
merely created by a few people.
It wasn't created by occurring naturally.
That's true. Chinese characters over thousands of years of history,
went from one person to another person.
From father to son,
and then from son to his son.
Characters were completed over a long period of time.
But our characters...
were created artificially.
Currently this is the issue with the process.
Our characters fatal weakness.
Over several million people creating it.
This represents that it possesses universality.
But we are not like this.
But what is the relationship between universality and dissection?
The biggest universality
is to take natural reasons and put them in.
Why would I want to make words that are close to sounds?
Because sounds are natural.
The theory of making sounds, is a natural principle.
No, no.
No, these can be left alone.
It's not made by imitating the characters of countries that you don't even understand.
These words are similar to my tongue.
Like my throat.
Similar to my teeth.
I hope it can become a thing of the common people.
Why are boatsmen superstitious?
Because they encounter the ocean, a huge natural element.
I also encountered it.
It's the common people.
The great common people.
So I want to believe.
Until now, I created characters this way,
believing the common people will make use of them.
But can it be this is wrong?
Sky, land, people and more,
dedicated to Teacher Sam Bong.
Then, there is a Mil Bon?
You don't have the Mil Bon?
You don't have it?
Master Hae Gang,
you believe that the Mil Bon is a righteous cause?
Isn't righteousness an ideal of Teacher Sam Bong?
I am Teacher Sam Bong's disciple.
How would I not know?
The first time the king started Jiphyeonjeon,
I was also deceived.
Because it was different from Lee Bang Won.
But he didn't shake the government bureau system.
Lee Do is putting everything through the Jiphyeonjeon,
changing the whole system.
The Jiphyeonjeon now,
is only for matters the king wants to do.
Providing a theoretical basis.
Jiphyeonjeon prevented place where the emperor listened to lectures? Still Pin Chul sergeant.
It is using sergeant with the King's military theory.
What's the reason for Teacher Sam Bong to restrict the authority of the King?
It's none other than for the common people.
Lee Do is perhaps an outstanding king,
but currently this is even more dangerous.
What does the next king plan to do?
And also the next king.
If a king appears that only knows how to satisfy his own selfish desires...
That's why Teacher Sam Bong created one system.
But Lee Do, quite craftily, changed the core of the whole system.
This will destroy Joseon.
That's incorrect. It's currently being destroyed.
Already, the king is working on matters hidden from the officials.
We really don't know anything, right?
But,
you still feel that this scrap of paper,
the Mil Bon, possesses righteousness?
Don't you know why I'm like this?
I also hope everyone will follow the Mil Bon.
So I'll convey the meaning of the Bon elders.
Four days from now, please let us see the Mil Bon,
then there won't be any problem.
Everything will go according to your wishes.
I'm not afraid of death.
History will often only remember one's last appearance.
The final appearance of me, and my scholars that follow me,
I don't wish for it to be as traitors.
That day, we need to have the Mil Bon.
~ Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. ~
What are you drawing?
A picture that will enable me to seize the Mil Bon.
What's the use of that, exactly what is it?
~ Look at me. ~
In the end, is there a Mil Bon?
The pouch's owner,
that child, has the Mil Bon.
Ga Ri On ajussi, (Ajussi - older man, uncle)
the ox is here.
Really? Let's go.
You bunch of fellows, what are you scribbling!
