Chapter 1141
He finished writing the letter and pressed the seal.
Isn’t money an important matter?
The reason my brother’s jackpot didn’t cause him a stomach ache was probably thanks to the Hua Empire’s law of taking even a single bean as a tax.
They will collect taxes even a little more tenaciously and fill the national treasury.
Pung Ha-eun said.
“If I remember correctly… the empire’s budget is still tight, right?”
Admiral Tae-gam said.
“That’s right. The late emperor used the treasury a little too harshly…”
“Damn. “How long do I have to clean up this shit?”
At that time, the eunuch came carrying a bundle of papers and put it down.
Pung Ha-eun read it quickly and said this.
“Hmm. Still, the deficit was somehow resolved. Even though there was one war in the middle, it was to this extent….”
“It goes to the extent of being called the Miracle of the Yangtze River in the magazine.”
“okay?”
“yes. The national treasury will accumulate in a few years. “Isn’t all this a blessing from His Majesty the Emperor?”
“Honestly… I can be proud of this.”
Is proud.
This endless mountain of shit is finally being cleared away!
But this feeling of pride lasted only three seconds.
“No…. If it’s the miracle of the Yangtze River and it’s nabal, then what are you going to do? “I have a long way to go.”
Returning to one’s original position means paying off all debt and starting anew.
It meant that we were halfway there.
‘I can’t help but sigh.’
It was then.
Suddenly, Poong Ha-
geum appeared without any warning.
“Don’t complain too much. “It will get better starting this year.”
“Are you here? “Did you solve the problem well?”
“I solved it. “The evil cult even touched the royal family.”
“Did you finish it cleanly?”
“That was impossible. Some of those with our blood went over to the other side. “It will be difficult to find you since we ran away together.”
“….”
“That’s why I told you to kill them all back then.”
“What, let’s kill all the babies who didn’t even know they were royal family members? “Let’s even kill all the crippled, blind people who were lying there saying they would entrust their lives to me and not fight for the throne?”
“If you inherit the divine blood, being ignorant and weak is a mortal sin.”
“…Crazy guy.”
“And that’s too extreme. “Didn’t you also save the lives of obscure people?”
“I have no hobby of killing even those who whine just because they don’t want to fight.”
“You are so toxic. “That’s your weakness.”
Pung Ha-geum speaks clearly.
After ascending to the throne, his brother still harbors a romantic feeling in his heart.
Even though I know that it is my fatal weakness.
‘You won’t regret it.’
Quite a few royal family members were killed.
However, there are still those who are alive.
In Pung Ha-geum’s opinion, they should also be killed, but Pung Ha-eun always relented.
Of course, that alone was enough for people to call him a butcher, but in Pung Ha-geum’s eyes, that was it.
What if it could end peacefully from the beginning?
When killing, you must kill without leaving a trace of blood.
“Someone among the blood missionaries and the royal family joined hands….” “
….”
“Still, it’s a pain in the ass. I’m glad I was able to handle it to some extent thanks to the power of the throne… but what are you going to do? Are you going to turn everything over?”
“We have to turn it over.”
Great purge.
All suspicious members of the royal family are killed, leaving no one behind.
The only person who is sure to be friendly is King Zhou.
In fact, there are quite a few other members of the royal family.
There are many seeds sown by the previous emperor, but there are also collateral relatives of seeds sown by previous emperors here and there.
There is a lot more royal bloodline than you might think.
but.
Emperor Tang Jin does not give them positions or power.
“Think carefully. The treasury was just returned. Killing people also costs money. know? The royal family is the most expensive among them all. “The royal family is also expensive.”
“…okay. I guess I should leave it alone for now. It would be good to see how far the aftermath of what has been dealt with now goes. Isn’t there a saying in an old folktale called ‘Tacho Gyeongsa (打草驚蛇)’? “If you knock on the grass, the snake will come out in surprise.”
“I don’t think that’s what it means.”
While saying that, Poong Ha-eun stamped the document.
“Jiangsu Province is completely out of control. “Did you feel it?”
“It looks like Zhugelin was up to something behind the scenes. It is no longer the ‘territory’ of the empire.”
“Should I call Zhuge Lin? Or should I call Hee?”
“Leave that one alone for now. “My sister is there anyway, so she will destroy it.”
The greatest force exists there.
A sword that will never betray them as long as they are emperor.
Pung Ha-eun scratched her head.
“iced coffee. It’s so hard to run an empire. “I want to eat dumplings.”
“I agree.”
I happened to have a friend who was really good at making dumplings.
Unfortunately, that guy is not here.
“Oh, I guess I’ll have to pay more taxes.”
“I agree.”
Since ancient times, the older brother’s pleasure has been to steal and eat the snacks that his younger brother bought.
‘Hey, just one bite.’
Isn’t that an instinct that has been imprinted in our blood since the beginning of mankind?
The two laughed like children playing a practical joke.
If Jin Cheon-hee had seen it, her fist would have been shaking.
Although this is not something to say to an emperor like heaven, –
“Oh, please help me replenish the treasury!”
bang!
The letter was rewritten and a new seal was placed.
This time, the two emperors press the royal seal together.
Who do you resemble?
They are truly vicious brothers.
* * *
Some time after that.
Nanjingseong Baeklin Gaekjan branch.
The kitchen inside.
Jin Cheon-hee is cooking.
When I asked Sima Hye and Sima Hyeon, who worked hard so far, if there was anything they wanted, they both said in unison.
“Dumplings~!”
“Dumplings. “Eun-gong!”
Of course it is.
Although the two ate many of Jin Cheon-hee’s dishes, they often chose dumplings as their favorite.
“Cheonwoo, are the dumplings okay?”
“I’m thankful for everything. “It’s just nice to be able to get it.”
“okay. Then I will do it! But we all do the finishing touches together, right?”
Jin Cheonhee rolled up her sleeves.
“yes!”
Sima Hui and the brothers all shouted in unison.
My mouth is already watering at the thought of eating dumplings.
* * *
Everyone worked together and made the dumplings.
Dumplings usually require a lot of work, but fortunately, since we all worked together, we were able to make them quickly.
“Oh, Cheonwoo. “You are also good at cooking.”
“When King Gwon was alive, I did all the cooking. “That helped.”
That’s how I made dumplings, baked them, steamed them, and fried them.
The fried dumplings were rolled with a generous amount of sweet and spicy sauce, making them taste like the seaweed rolls I ate as a child.
“Wow… the scent is no joke.”
“for a moment.”
Tomato egg soup is also completed.
For this, I kept the miscellaneous ingredients to a minimum so that we could drink together while eating the dumplings.
Instead, I focused on the mass of the egg, just by taking a sip.
“Wow, it’s fluffy!”
Sima Hui’s eyes shine.
The tomatoes used here serve to balance the greasiness with their acidity.
“I never thought soup and dumplings would go so well together!”
“I’m looking forward to it just by looking at it.”
As Cheonwoo said that, he put the dumplings in his mouth and looked surprised for a long time.
So did he.
‘My brother’s cooking has increased more?’
It wasn’t like this the last time I ate it.
However, now, I can feel every single texture of the meat with the exquisite harmony of liver, and even a drop of gravy was not made clumsily.
It tasted like a dream.
Sima Hui said.
“It’s delicious, right?”
“yes yes. Delicious. “Did Sima Xiaozhe eat this often?”
At those words, Sima Hui laughed like a bad boy.
“Hehehe. Eunkong sometimes makes it for members of the White House. With all that work going on, I don’t know where I have time to cook. “Do you have the energy before that?”
Jin Cheon-hee responded to those words.
“The guests do all the preparation, so I just go ahead and make it quickly. “Original dumplings require 80% of base preparation.”
Sima Hyun said.
“My brother always says he doesn’t do anything special~? Whatever you say, it’s going to take a lot of work. “If flavoring dumplings were easy, everyone would be at their wits’ end.”
“Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed it.”
Jin Cheon-hee scratched his head.
Cheon-woo, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly felt conscious of Sima-hye’s gaze and gathered his food.
Originally, I went without thinking much, but something happened last time.
As a Buddhist, I was a little worried that it might be too much of a stimulus to the older wife.
In addition, wasn’t Sima Xiaoze the one who personally made the eyepatch in the past?
‘There could be a misunderstanding…’
Luckily, Sima Hui didn’t pay any attention to that and just ate the dumplings.
‘It seems like I’m an old woman.’
Is it because my brother keeps telling me to take care of my hair?
Actually, other strong people live roughly, but only my brother tends to dress neatly.
For a moment, I felt embarrassed because I felt like I was the only one worrying about it.
Cheonwoo scratched his red cheeks.
‘I guess I shouldn’t think too deeply from now on.’
There is no uniform that fits your body anyway, and even if you wear a uniform that fits your body, wouldn’t it be torn to pieces in a battle where your life is at stake?
Paying attention to clothes is a hassle in many ways.
Jin Cheon-hee, who did not know what was going on, said.
“Now that I think about it, I haven’t really cooked for you properly. sorry. I’ll do it often. By the way, wasn’t it taboo for Taoist monks to eat fire? “I know you guys are being pretty generous, but it’s strangely bothering me.”
Cheonwoo nodded.
“Never mind. As you know, the method of practice in this school is to be free. “There are some people who don’t do Chinese food, but I’m not that bad.”
“but. “Walking around the rivers is exhausting, but if you skip meals, your body will be ruined.”
From there, the number of guests you can choose from is drastically reduced.
It is truly fatal for Kang Ho-in to have nowhere to rest even if he wanders.
“yes. If I had to choose whether it was a fire food or not, I would choose not, but I’m not that strict about it. Master Gwonje even ate fried meat as a snack.”
“okay. “I heard that Jang Mun-in was quite upset because of that.”
It was probably even more so because he had a very free-spirited personality.
Jin Cheon-hee got to the point.
“really. Cheonwoo. As for the suggestion to track down that Samjeolchuho at that time… I would like to help, but I still have work to do, so I may be a little late. Is that okay?”
“are you okay. Because it is a long-term mission. “But what’s going on?”
Jin Cheon-hee said, taking a bite of a large dumpling.
“They say you row when the water comes in.”
Sima Hyeon tilted his head.
“That’s a word that older people often use when nagging… my brother. Oh, maybe that~?”
Sima Hyeon seems to have noticed right away.
“okay. that’s right. There was a rumor that you led the Gungpan Daehyeop this time. I’m planning to expand the academy during this gap. “Do you remember what we talked about briefly before?”
Cheonwoo opened his mouth slightly and made a ‘huh…’ sound.
I know about the Gungpan Daehyup incident.
Thanks to that, I found out where my brother was.
However, although I said I had something to do, I had no idea it would be this big of a deal.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Anyway, it will take two or three months. Are you okay?”
“It was a request from the Murim Alliance to begin with. “I thought he would refuse.”
“….”
Actually, it wasn’t that I didn’t think about it.
Plus, one more thing.
‘Even if I don’t know what Samjeolchuho is doing. It must have been his own will not to appear in Gangho. ‘Can I interrupt that?’ A question.
It just wasn’t announced directly.
In fact, it is like washing one’s face with gold powder, but it is a humane consideration as to whether it is okay to break this rest.
At the same time, the realistic situation that there is no tracer of blood missionary work that goes beyond Samjeolchuho comes into play.
‘Samjeolchuho is the person who knows best about blood missions.’
Even Jin Cheon-hee, who has grabbed hold of them several times, cannot guarantee that he has knowledge that goes beyond the three most important points.
That’s because she was sincere in finding her younger brother.
So even though the work had to be postponed for three months, Cheonwoo readily agreed.
“yes. I’ll wait. no. “I will also be there to help.”
‘I never thought it would come out like this.’
Is there really no answer other than Hwanggu?
Hwanggu is not all-powerful either….
‘Okay. I’ll look for it and since I’m living in a house with my younger brother in the early hours of the night, if you ask me not to break my seclusion, I’ll pretend I didn’t find it.’
To make a decision up to this point, I could barely blink an eye and speak.
“Um… I would be grateful if you did.”
“Go~ I’m here too~”
“…Are you sure you don’t have to go back to Haomun?”
Slowly, I started to worry about Hao Mun’s future.
‘Now that I think about it, what is Ha-ryun doing?’
It was clear that he was hovering and working somewhere around here.
However, Baeklindae was unable to find any traces of Yeo Ha-ryun.
Of course, if the situation arises, you can catch Yuho or Jashi and find them if you decide to do so.
However, Jin Cheon-hee did not want to go that far.
Because I have faith that he will not do anything that will harm Jin Cheon-hee in the first place.
‘I guess I’ll just hope it’s not a big deal.’
If Ha-ryun wants to, he can contact Jin Cheon-hee at any time.
‘It’s definitely murder.’
This is something I don’t want my brother to get involved in.
As expected, the second one is the most heterogeneous among the brothers.
If you think about the relationship between Jeong and Sam, how can they be similar?
‘Well, let’s just do some work and wait for the letter.’
So Jin Cheon-hee started working with his two brothers by his side.
It was winter.
Not yet.
‘My brother seems to be paying attention to Ha-ryun, and he seems to be okay.’
There is someone here who is secretly in contact with the second child.
It was a rainstorm.
Even though he belonged to a political faction, he was able to communicate with all his brothers.
It is possible even in this situation.
It’s a secret from my brother.
“But I don’t know much about what you do…”
“Oh, I’ll teach you everything right next to you. Cheonwoo.”
“Yes brother! Please take care of me!”
Next to him, Sima Hyeon is looking at Tianyu with slanted eyes.
“….”
Of course, political factions require a touch of hypocrisy.
The form and the mind are different, so this is the Yangyi Shenggong.
Doing two things at once could also be said to be the essence of a shaman.
Taegeuk is Taegeuk.
