Episode 156
“What do you mean?”
“I will give you a donation after returning home, so how about making a visit to Zhouwangbu from time to time?”
“yes?”
I couldn’t even think of this, even though there was definitely a sense of urgency in Zhou Wangbu.
If this fact becomes known to the outside world, everyone will know that So Baek-ryong is the King of Zhou’s favorite.
That alone was a great honor for the lawmaker.
“You don’t want a government job, do you?”
“yes. “I’ve been feeling more and more lately that these clothes don’t fit me.”
“Then make regular visits. “That alone will kill all the flies that are bothering you.”
It was an appetizing statement.
King Zhou added a word.
“Furthermore, I found out while observing you in the back garden, that your teacher seemed to secretly enjoy the fact that you left your senses and came here with us for some reason. Is that correct?”
It is indeed a king.
No matter how exciting his personality may be, he seems to have the skill to notice as standard.
There is nothing to be gained by looking around here.
“They are worried that I might get hurt from the hard work.”
“okay. That’s why I’m saying I’ll help you. To be honest, there was no one other than you that I reached out to so earnestly…”
There was not a single lie in King Zhou’s voice.
Although he is said to have a personality that is not prone to ostentation, it is rare for him to put aside his pride and extend his hand like this.
“I can do anything that requires force, but there is no one better than you to protect my precious people.”
When it comes to your health, even the Lord King can’t do anything about it.
“After almost losing someone precious to me, I become more desperate.”
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“There is no need to say that. “If it’s a royal matter, you should come anytime.”
King Zhou smiled brightly at those words.
“then…!”
“I will have to discuss the details with you, Master, but of course Baekrin Uigak will always respond to the call.”
Jin Cheon-hee was truly a thank you.
The royal family had the respect to not give anything at all, but if they did, the amount of money they would support would not be small.
Plus, it was a good thing to have the flies removed.
‘Plus, you deliberately pretend to be weak.’
This person is also secretly acting like he is not someone.
There are still many entertainers in the imperial capital who fall for the skills of the past and shed tears when rain comes.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“If the King allows it, I don’t know if it would be okay for me to personally recommend a talented person among the members of the National Assembly who have received my teaching.”
“Oooh! Of course it’s good! Just give it. “I will recommend it right away!”
Since King Zhou had promised so, a free pass for civil service was opened.
‘The lab assistants also need to see the light to be motivated to work.’
Jin Cheon-hee and Yoo Ho-ya were immediate friends of the lab and had eternal lives, but the upper house and lower house members each had families and ambitions.
The monthly salary given by Baeklin Uigak is not small, but the workload is also harsh.
In this era, the path to government service was more than enough.
You don’t just have to go to the imperial palace, but just holding a position appointed by the king or a local government gives you enough money and power to live off of.
In addition, in a class society, a family that held a government position became a powerful family by itself, so there was no such elevation in status from the perspective of a commoner.
‘I need to pave the way to this extent so I can feel comfortable taking care of myself.’
And I wanted to clean not just roads, but the Hi-Pass 8-lane highway.
Yoo Ho, since I first saw him, he has constantly threatened Jin Cheon-hee with his life, so it is a confirmed case of double labor, but the other children were different.
King Zhou said.
“However, since this is a recommendation made in my name, you must be an outstanding person. “I trust my Baeklin Uigak and So Baekryong, but since the king’s name is at stake, I need to keep that in mind.”
“You don’t have to worry about that part.”
“You seem confident.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
Baeklin Council member training system.
What Zhuge Lin laid the foundation for and the four generations of heads of clans supplemented, Jin Tianxi revised it once more in practice.
I was that confident.
That’s how the transaction between the two ended.
It was a moment when the names of Baekrin Uigak and So Baekryong were raised even higher.
* * *
The snow that had been falling since we arrived started to get heavier.
As I lay down on the silk blanket, I could hear the sound of snow falling far away.
A long break.
At first, I was at a loss because I didn’t know what to do. I tried to treat the sick people in Zhouwangbu, but decided to stop.
I secretly tried my luck and noticed that the royal doctors of Zhou Wangbu were not very pleased with Jin Cheon-hee’s proposal.
‘Um… this is a brake first.’
So, with her long-standing social skills, Jin Cheon-hee quickly put her brain into gear and quietly switched to another topic.
Then I returned to the guest room and asked Master about the matter.
After hearing Jin Tianxi’s story, Zhuge Lin said this.
“My student has a good sense of humor.”
“It seems like less work isn’t making things easier.”
“Umm, the meaning of the members of the Kangho National Assembly and the royal family are different. “Kangho’s council members are desperate for even a single human hand, but Wang Bu’s royal doctor is wary of his work being reduced.”
The issue of values has always been difficult.
In particular, struggles for respect and power in a class-based society were even more complex issues.
“Hahaha, because of this problem, there are quite a few lawmakers who are unable to adapt even after entering the king’s office or the imperial palace and are almost relegated to the provinces.”
“okay.”
“If you think about it, you will adapt well even if you become the Royal Palace’s royal doctor, but trial and error is still inevitable. In that sense, it was a good decision to immediately change the topic.”
If it’s fortunate, is it fortunate?
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
“The power here does not come from medicine.”
“Have you figured it out that far? right. No matter how skilled a doctor is, if the patient cannot trust the doctor’s herbal medicine, it is meaningless. It’s more about trust than medicine. It’s a connection. So, it is important which royal family recommended you, and it is also important where you entrusted yourself before being recommended.”
“Hmm, even so, wouldn’t it be in vain if we couldn’t treat the royal family?”
“That’s also true. So it’s a complicated place. There is also a reason why many members of the Baeklin Council are present in the imperial palace. Since their skills are guaranteed and they are neutral, it would be better to look for them in Moorim. But even then, I couldn’t get to a high place.”
“It is a good thing that the Lord King said he would lend his strength to the recommendation this time.”
“No matter how many times I praise my student for that, it’s not enough… Heeya. “You are such a blessing.”
Zegalin stroked his favorite disciple’s head.
“Uigak is a very complicated position. “The way it is run determines the fate of numerous clinics and the survival of patients treated by those clinics.”
“It means use everything that helps.”
“yes. You must look far ahead, but depending on the time, you must use whatever means you have. In that sense, it’s a good thing you didn’t express your anger toward Hwaju Pharmaceutical Ship.”
Actually, I wasn’t angry. Since there is a patient, all I have to do is go there.
However, others seem to mistakenly believe that Jin Cheon-hee is holding back.
Zhugelin continued.
“This time, Hwaju Yakseon couldn’t see far and handed the ball over for immediate revenge. “If he operates in that way, the lawmakers who follow him will one day be eliminated and it will be a pain in the ass.”
“Then is it better to never seek revenge?”
Zhugelin smiled lazily.
“Not really. Just as there is cancer in the body, there is cancer in life as well. Revenge is the process of extracting it. However, it takes a long time to prepare because you don’t have to keep it alive once you start. “It’s like the resection surgery you’re about to have.”
Cancer resection is different from general surgery.
After extraction, it is necessary to visually inspect and remove other tumors not just at the end but also nearby.
Additionally, the lymph nodes near the tissue must be cut out as wide as possible to prevent any recurrence.
Even then, based on the biopsy results, we had to use anti-cancer drugs or radiation treatment to root it out.
If the cancer cells are removed clumsily, they become stronger and reappear.
At that point, the patient’s life cannot be guaranteed.
“Cut when you need to cut, but cut wide enough that it can’t happen again. Those connected to him must be set on fire and all of them must be evicted, and his children, relatives, and all must be counted.”
“….”
“Otherwise, Kangho’s blessings will only be repeated forever.”
The meaning was to put an end to it so that there would not even be a silver lining.
“Master, is that what you want to do at Hwaseong Pavilion?”
“Well, that’s fine. As of now, I don’t know if it’s benign or malignant. But good winds are blowing, so we’ll find out soon enough.”
“….”
“Hee, do you feel like this teacher is a monster?”
Zhugelin narrowed his eyes and looked at his favorite student.
Jin Cheonhee shook his head.
“I haven’t experienced the ups and downs of Gangho enough to judge such things. “I just feel the heaviness of the seat.”
I also seemed to understand why many people, including King Zhou and Yeo Ha-ryun, a nobleman, said that Jegalin was crazy.
“I know that Master ultimately made that choice to protect what was his with the least amount of blood. In the process, there may be people who point fingers at you in cold blood, but you must have endured that as well.”
“Sometimes I feel like you are too much of a disciple for me.”
Zegalin looked at his only understanding and successor with an indescribable expression.
‘That’s a difficult problem.’
Jin Cheon-hee fell into thought again.
‘If something like that happens to me, would it be possible for me to kill everyone like my teacher?’
The seat of the scaffolding felt heavy.
Then someone cleared their throat. It was a familiar voice.
Jin Cheon-hee hurriedly opened the door, and King Zhou was standing there, staring at him without any attendant.
“Eunwangya wants to see you.”
* * *
King Zhou guided Jin Cheon-hee to a separate building and said he would stay outside.
“Aren’t you cold?”
“Isn’t the plum blossom in the snow quite charming? And Eun is very suspicious of that child. “It’s so annoying that everyone is dying.”
I felt it from the beginning, but King Zhou’s words to Eunwangya were extremely harsh. Yet, strangely enough, I felt a trace of affection.
It was difficult to notice because it was so subtle, like a stain under a teapot, but harsh words were followed by unusual actions.
Jin Cheon-hee took off the robe covering her shoulders.
“It’s white tiger skin.”
“I made it because my younger brother, who was a shaman, gave me leather. Thanks to you, I am also using it well.”
“Your skills are good.”
“This will make it a little less cold.”
At Jin Cheon-hee’s words, King Zhou’s eyes softened.
“You are probably the only person in the world who cares about me being cold, as I am called the God of War.”
“Illness comes to everyone. Excuse me. “King.”
Jin Cheon-hee spoke calmly and placed his blood robe on King Zhou’s shoulders.
King Zhou let out a small laugh as if he was in a good mood. It was similar to the sound of a tiger purring.
“I think I know why that monster killed you so quickly.”
Instead of answering, Jin Cheon-hee gave a small nod and went inside.
