Episode 778
Arrived at the Imperial Capital.
Jashi opened his mouth wide at the majesty of the gigantic ecliptic and looked around.
Hundreds of people passing by him, as many horses as there were people, thousands of stores, soldiers, and powerful men.
“It’s huge. “That’s why every time an envoy comes, Sae-o-yeon condescends and asks why the royal castle is so small.”
‘…Well, it seems like the Shinigami’s humanity will go out.’
It seems that there is no personality evaluation among the bureaucratic evaluation items. Or maybe they don’t really have any manners outside of birds.
Isn’t that always the case?
Especially because the people of Central Plains think they are the center of the world.
“However, as there are so many people, there is also a lot of bad energy.”
“is that so?”
Jin Cheon-hee is nowhere to be seen.
“okay. Although it is full of life, there are many dark, unclean, and evil things in it. “It’s a beautiful but dangerous place.”
If there are a lot of people, there will be bad people among them, and unless the city is a planned city, sewage or waste water will come out, so I guess that’s the logic.
Jin Cheon-hee decided to think so.
“You have such strong qualities, but why aren’t you good at ‘seeing’?”
“What should I do when I say something like that?”
Jin Cheonhee shrugged his shoulders.
As I was walking down the highway of the ecliptic, a group of people were approaching from afar.
Quickly.
When they spotted Jin Cheon-hee, they turned and approached stealthily.
Eventually they said.
“It is said to be a bridge blocking the infantry bridge among the five bridges.”
The teacher bowed in a slightly nervous manner.
“Meet Governor Jin Cheon-hee!”
chuck!
His sword was as sharp as a blade.
‘Isn’t the Ogyowi a position in charge of the imperial capital’s defense forces under the direct control of the Geumuiwiwi?’
Jin Tianxi thought quickly.
Nokbong is between 1,000 and 2,000 seok. And four ranks of government officials.
‘It’s the same 4th rank as my official position, governor. So, you wouldn’t be so low-key, right?’
Look at the stiffness all the way to the back of the neck.
Jashi quietly spoke from the side.
“You were a person with a greater position than I thought, right? “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Jin Cheon-hee sent a message to Ja-si.
[He’s actually the same level as me, but he’s unusually nervous. Besides, I also have a lot to say about this promotion, right?]
I hope the Emperor will stop paying attention.
“Nice to meet you, Lieutenant. “I wonder if you came to visit me.”
“of course. “The Emperor, who knew that Governor Jin had arrived in the imperial capital, ordered us to bring him.”
‘As expected, he is the emperor. Everyone already knows I came.’
Well, there’s no way you wouldn’t know that eyes and ears were everywhere from the moment you entered the Fire Empire.
‘okay. You treated someone like that, so you should get something in return. I went through that hard time.’
Originally, even if the Demon King was captured, wasn’t there still time for settlement and distribution among the warriors who came with him?
Stories like who will eat the devil’s helmet and who will eat this guy’s sword and shield.
There will be discussions about the Demon King’s Castle real estate later.
We may also need to consider real estate acquisition tax and redevelopment issues in this area.
In some ways, this is a more important time than catching the devil.
The same goes for Jin Cheon-hee.
Should I use it if I catch the devil called rinderpest and there is no settlement?
‘wait. Twin Treasure Goblins.’
Since I worked like a dog, the time has come to receive it like a monk.
* * *
Hwanggu, Noejin, and Jashi were guided to a separate building inside the imperial palace.
Although it was not large, the garden was very beautiful.
Even the branches were carefully handcrafted by top-notch gardeners, and the flower trees bloomed as if they had forgotten the season.
“Is it a Hua imperial-style garden? It’s definitely different from where I was. “I feel the land is fertile.”
Jashi walked around this garden for a long time and enjoyed it very much.
As expected, he seemed to enjoy looking at grass and trees more than looking at people.
While Jia Shi was enjoying the imperial palace, Jin Tianxi was immediately washed, fried, dried, and taken to the emperor after having her robe cleaned.
When I went there, the emperor himself was waiting for Jin Tianxi.
Of course, it’s not the front door. The back door is a secret annex.
“Are you here?”
He was greeting Jin Cheon-hee wearing informal, comfortable clothes.
Although it is said to be informal, the yellow dragon is visible every time the light reflects, and it does not appear to be ordinary clothing.
‘Well, Pung Ha-geum himself is staying today.’
It looks like Eunwangya has gone out on a trip.
Meanwhile, Geumwangya is taking care of government affairs.
As expected, there was a mountain of various appeals and documents piled up behind him like a halo.
“The report has been received. The trade was completed properly. But I don’t know the details yet. “Please report it.”
Geumwangya is less playful than Eunwangya, so it gives a colder impression.
There was something Eunwangya said in passing a while ago.
-Geum is not good at meeting people. There’s nothing we can do about it. Reading other people’s memories means reading their inner thoughts. Because there are so many times when I get betrayed alone.
Compared to Eunwangya, who manipulates the actions of others with words, Geumwangya reads or manipulates other people’s memories.
It is said that usually you don’t even manipulate it and just read it.
‘I guess there’s no one in the world I can trust.’
This may be the case now that the power structure has been completely solidified, but it would have been even more so in the past when the three of them, King Zhou, King Eun, and King Geum, walked the bloody path to become emperors.
‘It’s not something you experience in childhood.’
Since you have become an adult, if people are just a little cold, you may have grown up well in your own way, right?
“Uh… So… I don’t know where to start.”
Jin Cheon-hee explained what happened appropriately.
However, the prince’s attempt to make a human sacrifice and the incident of Baekcheongun and Rakshasa were excluded.
Anyway, I hate war.
And he doesn’t even want to become an excuse for war.
“Hmm…”
Geumwangya rested her chin and stared at Jin Cheonhee for a long time.
“It’s not a lie, but that doesn’t mean I told you everything. “You guy.”
“Hehehe. “That’s the way it is.”
“Tsk. Strangely enough, you have a particularly difficult time reading memories.”
Are there individual differences in the ability to communicate?
Or is it because they are members of the same royal family?
I don’t know either way, but it was fortunate.
While Geumwangya was saying this, he was drawing a line through someone’s name with ink, and the Admiral was smiling brightly and saying, ‘I’ll deal with it immediately!’ and took the list.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like they’re putting their name on the line for an award, and it looks like more bloodshed is about to come soon.
‘Oh my gosh, isn’t this creepy?’
Saving people or killing them is one of the duties of a nobleman.
It would be best if he didn’t do it in front of him, but the emperor is the emperor for no reason.
It’s a shame because he does whatever he wants.
Geumwangya said.
“Well, that’s good. So, can you make toothpaste?”
“yes. “Now that the soda stone trade has ended, we will probably be able to lower the unit price further.”
I may change it later as I go through trial and error, but for now, I’m thinking about solid toothpaste.
“The Lord of Natron rarely opens his mine. Even if there was a king’s order, I thought Yuyamu would try to charge a little more. It looks like something got stuck in your nose. “How on earth did you seduce me?”
‘Roughly with blood and death?’
I couldn’t bear to say that.
When I think of that hardship, tears come to my eyes.
“We resolved it with love and peace.”
“That’s the best bullshit I’ve ever heard.”
Kkkkkkkkkk!
The sound of Hwanggu making came into my head.
“Sit here.”
Only then did Geum Wang-ya allow Jin Cheon-hee to sit across from his table.
An ordinary public servant would always remember sitting in the same place as the emperor with tears in his eyes, but Jin Cheon-hee didn’t think much of it.
‘Ha, let’s not pretend to be friendly. we.’
I’m afraid that if I try to build friendships, they might give me a government position.
* * *
When Geum Wang-ya gave the signal, the Admiral’s office quickly put away various appeals and ledgers and filled the desk with refreshments.
“I’m amazed that your Majesty is taking a break like this!”
“What is inspiration?”
“But it’s still nice to see you, right?”
“Is that possible? “I just eat something sweet.”
Admiral Tae-gam made a fuss.
“His Majesty was so worried that he sent me greetings three times in one day.”
“stop!”
“Hehehehe!”
Jin Cheon-hee saw that and realized.
‘Well, to the kings, Admiral Taegam is family.’
Isn’t it like a grandmother and grandchild?
It wasn’t wrong.
Because Admiral Tae-gam himself raised two people who had no power in the past.
It would not have been easy for an ordinary person to approach two people who had special abilities since birth without fear.
It would not have been easy for a single eunuch to sincerely serve Zhou Wangya, who was called a living military god.
That person was Admiral Tae-gam and the two’s foster child.
They risked their lives for the kings, and that is why they gave their hearts to Admiral Taegam.
He was undoubtedly the emperor’s confidant and family member.
Admiral Tae-gam was joking and piled up sweets in front of Jin Cheon-hee.
“I heard you had a lot of trouble overseas. “I’m glad you came back safely.”
How much do you know?
I thought that maybe this old man might know the information that Jin Cheon-hee omitted.
And during this time, French fries and potato chips are something that cannot be missed.
‘It’s good that you don’t get abdominal obesity when you eat like this.’
I’m still drinking cholesterol today, and it’s amazing that I don’t get any adult diseases.
Thinking like that, Jin Cheon-hee also put junk food… no, organic potato chips fried by the royal family’s best friend into his mouth.
Wasak.
‘Oh the taste of high-end junk.’
Adding sweet honey snacks to your mouth makes it heaven.
‘This is sweet and salty.’
To top it off, have some slightly bitter tea.
‘Big.’
Jin Cheon-hee continued to pick up and eat various things.
Geumwangya looked at it with her chin resting.
“You’re eating well.”
“All the refreshments are high-quality and delicious.”
“of course. The best servant of the empire. I can let you eat it whenever you want…? “There are many rooms in the imperial palace.”
“Cluck clack clack!”
Jin Cheon-hee immediately spit out the tea she was eating.
“It’s dirty.”
“…Uh… Soin is just a member of the National Assembly, and the position of governor is already too much for him. “Honey, please pass it on.”
“They said they wouldn’t even receive compensation.”
As expected, it is different from Eunwangya. This human.
‘Eunwangya is even smirking!’
It’s the same face and the same voice, but there’s no way to avoid it and they just attack you.
He clicked his tongue and spoke.
“How was the Kingdom of Damjin?”
“Every place people live is the same. “I’ve been doing well.”
“No way. “It must be a place where primitive witchcraft and human sacrifice run rampant, and instead of Confucian logic, it returns to the rules of blood.”
An arrogant and self-indulgent remark befitting an imperial emperor. but.
“You know very well.”
In novels, the emperor who says things like this usually ends up falling after the capital, which could never be taken over, and being stabbed to death by barbarians, but reality belongs to those who prepare.
All those petitions and ledgers are not worth having to be stabbed with a bamboo spear by a barbarian.
Because his arrogance is caused by overwork.
Geumwangya nodded and sipped a little tea.
“Because they are potential enemies. You should know it well. “Keep in mind that war can break out at any time in relations between countries.”
‘Ah, the correct answer was not to talk about the prince. We just prevented a war. ‘Good job, me.’
I’ve felt it before, but to these bastards, what’s important is my country, not someone else’s.
The reason he does not go to war compared to previous emperors is because the benefits he will gain are small compared to the damage his country will suffer.
A person who will attack at any time if there is enough profit to overturn the relationship.
That is the emperor and the so-called good emperor.
‘It could be said to be the identity of the emperor of the time.’
