Episode 503
The subjects each told a story one by one.
“I heard that the scars can be erased, but you have to be prepared for at least half a year.”
“However, if we can erase the scars of smallpox, the quality of life of the people will improve.”
“The method is strange, and there are only a handful of people who can use it. “How many people will benefit from it?”
“Members of the National Assembly all agree that prevention is more important than treatment. It has already been revealed that smallpox can be prevented. Anything else is incidental.”
Lee Bu Sang-seo said.
“Of course, I have no intention of diminishing the credit. However, enough awards have already been given to Baekrin Uigak. “It would be excessive to give an extra reward just because such a valuable item has been presented.”
Since ancient times, those who presented valuables to the emperor were rewarded appropriately.
The anecdote about an ordinary farmer finding treasure in a field, presenting it to the emperor, and receiving food as a reward was a true story.
That is why Deputy Minister Lee opposed this.
Some kind of compensation still needs to be given from the emperor’s mouth. If you oppose it before a word is spoken, your cause will be more upright.
Because the emperor’s words are like gold and cannot be easily taken back.
So why is he so opposed?
This is because Lee Bu Sang-seo’s family has been in the same boat as Hwaju-gak for a long time.
In addition, thanks to the quick end to this smallpox incident, the budget for this department was reduced.
Han Yi-jeong decided to fuck Lee Bu Sang-seo.
She shouted with all her might.
Gather a lot of strength in your lower abdomen and vocalize it with your throat.
“Lungeeeehaaa! I am very sorry to tell you, but I must give you a big reward! He is a loyal person who knows how to prevent smallpox, how to treat scars, and even these valuable items. Please show us the magnanimity of our country so that we can move forward even more!”
Search. I’m sorry!
It’s the chicks’ grudge!
When Han Yi-jeong shouted, her forces (feat. Admiral Tae-gam’s totem) also chorused.
“Please help me to push forward even more!”
Politics is wild.
In a way, it is similar to the ritual of a primitive tribe.
When the chief shouts, the left and right arms under the chief sing a chorus.
And the beat is matched by the guys on the left arm and under the right arm bowing together.
Actually, I wasn’t deeply impressed by the song the chief sang.
Sometimes I can’t understand what’s being said.
However, it is a ritual that lets us know that we are one tribe by shouting together.
Ignorant refrain!
Sure enough, the expressions of Lee Bu Sang-seo and his tribal alliance turn blue at Han Yi-jeong’s fighting spirit.
“In His Majesty’s Analects, it is said that excess oil is unpaid. Receiving too much reward is worse than not receiving it. Please inform me!”
“Please inform me!”
‘Tzu-eup, this kid is making some vocal noises.’
In the back row, shouting together, there were some peeps raised by Han Yi-jeong herself.
Now that the department has been moved, it seems they have decided to do their best to wait in line.
This is what power is.
Even the pigs raised by feeding red bean tea every day become strangers the moment the chicken coop is moved.
‘What a dog…’
However, it is a special feeling to see my enemy, who was a complete stranger, and the person I raised become enemies.
In one corner of the cat diary in Han Yi-jeong’s mind, the names of the people who sang together were written.
“stop.”
At that time, the emperor stretched out his hand and stopped both sides.
In times like this, everyone needs to shut up.
The emperor is sensitive to sound and hates making noise when he is trying to make a decision.
There is silence at the meeting.
Soon, His Majesty began speaking word by word as if reading a verdict.
“First of all, his contribution in stopping smallpox, which was a cause for concern throughout the world, is truly great. “This relieves the worries of all people in the world and puts my mind at ease, so I have no choice but to reward him.”
His usual blunt tone seemed strangely relaxed.
‘Do you mean that rock makes this sound?’
Isn’t he a man of wood and stone who lives away from luxury, sensuality, and even any pleasure that humans can feel?
It is famous for the fact that the palace complex exists, but is not even visited.
After finishing government affairs, I go back, read the appeals, and then go to sleep.
Eat enough food a day to not kill you.
Then I get up and look at government affairs again.
Even if Mokseok were to sit in that position, I would think he would be more sensitive than me.
A person like that looks so happy!
“In addition, I have made myself happy by presenting these valuable items to others. Just as I set an example in performance, it is right to set an example in performance. In addition, Jegalin, the head of Baeklin, participated in the war and made great achievements, and was already given the rank of Jeongsampoom Uigukbaek (Medicine Baek), so he contributed greatly to the empire. Therefore, I issue the number 1,000 households and allow Bugok (部曲).”
“…!!”
Everyone opened their eyes in surprise.
Bugok. What is Bugok?
It refers to a private soldier. Even in the distant Spring and Autumn Warring States period, there was a time when the bugoks of local nobles were their soldiers.
This tradition continues to this day, but in the Hua Empire, private armies were strictly restricted, and only the imperial family who held the royal palace were allowed to have private armies.
However, for some very special positions, bugok was allowed.
Either way, formal permission was important.
Officially, Gangho’s warriors are a group of thieves who violate the law and violate the law, and are an unauthorized armed group.
They just don’t subdue it because it causes more harm than good. From the politicians’ point of view, the people who were troublesome were the powerful people.
In such a situation, what happens if Baekrin Uigak is allowed to take Bugok?
They are treated as officially recognized troops.
The aftermath will be beyond the imagination of Gangho.
‘Why? Why do they want to give us authority similar to that of the royal family?’
I didn’t expect this to this extent.
I quickly glance at the face of your grandfather, your Majesty’s favorite.
Her facial expression is as usual with a stern grin, but I know it because she is the granddaughter.
Grandpa seems to know something.
‘Grandpa. ‘What on earth do you know?’
What is His Majesty’s intention? And what is the hidden secret?
“Your Majesty. Allowing bugok is not possible except for the owners of the royal family. Please inform me–!”
“Please inform me!”
As soon as the words were finished, the emperor responded immediately.
“…If that is the case, I will give you 2,000 households. “Do you have any objections?”
As soon as the bite occurred, everyone shouted as if they had been waiting.
“I follow your orders!”
“I follow your orders–!”
Oh, I see.
Bugok was a trick.
It was as if they had deliberately touched Bugok in the beginning to give them more food.
‘Isn’t that why His Majesty thinks so highly of Baeklin Uigak Incinerator?’
In fact, no new official has been able to achieve this feat.
So it deserves to look pretty.
‘But why Bugok?’
If you’re going to cheat, aren’t there a lot of other things to do?
Why did they use some of the king’s privileges as a trick?
Han Yi-jeong tilted his head inwardly… but that doesn’t mean his grandfather is the person who can solve this mystery.
‘With this, 2000 households near Baeklin Uigak in Jiangsu Province became their property.’
If this happens, part of the taxation and administrative power will belong to the White House. That’s what it meant to give up food.
Giving rights to those who live there.
It was a privilege granted only to the owners of the royal family or to families who had contributed to the founding of the royal family.
Of course, the judicial system laws had to follow the dialogue rate of the Hua Empire, but that was not a big problem.
However, it is now clear that Hangzhou’s Mokmingwan cannot do anything rashly to Baekrin Uigak.
It was a great thing.
‘I guess I’ll have to buy three mirrors from Baekrin’s Pavilion.’
Looking at it, it seemed like the other priests felt the same way.
A loud bang rang out.
* * *
“Hoo~ Look. “Haven’t my clear face become even clearer?”
At the same time, Juwangbu.
King Zhou was very pleased to see his own face reflected in the mirror.
“So Sogakju presented good items.”
“What are you doing with Lang? Come here and stick around. “Let’s take a look together!”
Yu Rang-hu clumped up next to King Zhou, looking embarrassed.
The mirror reflected Yu Langhu’s face very clearly.
Of course, as King Zhou loves luxury and pleasure, there are many mirrors.
However, this was the first time I had seen a mirror reflect so clearly.
Suddenly, Yu Langhu saw King Zhou in the mirror.
She looked in the mirror, deliberately putting on a nice expression.
A refreshing forehead and bright red lip line. Plus, the well-developed shoulder line.
“There’s nothing I don’t like.”
“Yes, me too.”
“Hehe… I can watch it all day and never get tired of it. “How could the heavens have blessed such martial talent with the face of a beautiful woman?”
At those words, the attendant immediately flattered.
“Hahaha, indeed, my lord. “I am amazed at how clearly the beautiful Yongan can be seen.”
“Isn’t that right? “Cluck.”
She burst out laughing heartily.
Originally, she was confident about her appearance and looked in the mirror often.
Seeing her beauty so clearly made her even happier.
“Wow, look at the flawless and clear skin as expected. And with each of these muscles. “I guess it can be likened to Mount Tai.”
The servant rubs his hands as if he has been waiting.
“That’s right. “I have been praising your beauty so much, but today I feel like this mirror is not good enough.”
“ha ha ha. no. no. “Hmm, Lang Lang, you still look embarrassed?”
“….”
“Tell me.”
“Well… I’m a little worried because I feel like I’ve gained more weight these days than I thought.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
It was like that. Originally, he was a short-tempered wanderer.
After Jin Cheon-hee got rid of loneliness, his appetite increased significantly, and he gained more weight and muscles than before.
However, it is good for a dancer to have a slim body.
In the meantime, the sire is worried that Joo Wang-ya’s favor will fall away.
King Zhou knew what he was thinking, so he pretended not to know and continued speaking.
“Hmm… good. Please bring soft food with you. “It is the highest quality soft ink mixed with black jade.”
“No way?”
“It’s been a while since a poem came to mind. “Let me write something down on this mirror.”
It seems that she, who likes the arts, has been thinking about writing poetry for the first time in a long time.
After the last war, I enjoyed dancing, singing, and drinking, but I could not write poetry.
However, this was truly unusual and was proof that King Zhou was happy.
‘Poetry will soon spread again in Gangho.’
The poems she wrote always spread throughout the world, both among scholars and Confucians.
Some people said that King Zhou’s poetry was a low-class poem that indulged in luxury and pleasure, while others said that it was the poetry of a person who knew the arts.
This time, as a military deity, she has shown her strength again, so all the famous people from Luoyang to Hangzhou will want this poem.
Servants hurriedly bring ink and ink brushes.
She picked out a brush as thick as a child’s fist.
“….”
After thinking about it for a while, I finally wrote it down in one stroke.
There were only four letters written on it.
– Cheonggyeong (明鏡靑鏡): A clear mirror is like the blue moon.
‘Originally, rhodiola is a red mirror. In other words, it is often compared to the sun. In that case, Cheonggyeong (靑鏡) can be compared to the moon.’
Now this poem will spread through the mouths of famous people.
It was clear that the officers would leave behind this anecdote.
King Zhou looked at his first pitch for a while and then said.
“If I had known it would be like this, I should have practiced and written it on paper. It’s been a while since I wrote it, so it’s a little crooked.”
Well, is that also pungryu?
