Episode 502. Wang Jae-cheon (王在天), paradise on earth?
December.
Southern directness.
Eungcheonbu.
Eighthwangsinmo, who declared to Yeon Jeok-ha that she would “behead 100,000 people,” secretly sent an on-site judge to the imperial family.
It was to cut off 100,000 heads without getting disfigured.
It is true that Geumuiwi tried to assassinate Xuanzang Xuanzang in order to check Yuyeonggyo, but not everyone in the imperial family was opposed to Myeonggyo.
Taegam and concubines who hanged themselves on the famous religion of longevity were still favorable to the famous religion.
With their active cooperation, Xuanzang Xuanzang had an audience with the emperor at Taehwajeon.
Taehwajeon.
“Hurray, hurray, hurray! All people in the world have been blessed by His Majesty’s holy virtue…”
“It is done. Do you have something urgent to say?”
“Before that, Your Majesty, please know that all the rumors of famous religions floating around in the world are false. We can take pride in the loyalty of the famous cult leader to His Majesty and the Imperial Family as the best among the Murim Bangpas.”
“What can I say with my mouth? Do you know that I don’t know what to call what you did in the ecliptic last spring? Did you say that you are the blood of the Eight Emperors?”
“These are also absurd stories made up by those who are jealous of famous religions. Please contact me. Isn’t there a saying called “Three-person Seong-ho”? A lot of people tell lies, so it only looks like the truth.”
“joy! If you say something you don’t like, you’re saying they’re all beggars. Did you come back just to say that? If so, that’s disappointing. Since I came at the risk of risking it, I thought I was going to tell a long story…”
The judge in the field retold the story of an almost dead person at Unboxing Uguksa.
“No. The famous religious leader said he would show his loyalty to His Majesty.”
“how?”
“I said that I would lead the conquest of the northern barbarians for Your Majesty’s sake.”
The emperor, who had been listening with a sullen face, tilted his upper body forward as if interested.
“So you’re saying you’re going to help in the conquest of the north? A famous teacher?”
That was a pretty tempting suggestion.
Whether you succeed or fail, you have nothing to lose.
This is because if it succeeds, the royal family will be stable, and if it fails, the power of famous religions will weaken.
“It is. He said he would at least serve as a white-haired servant if Yu Myung-gyo would be allowed to stand at the forefront.”
“It’s okay even if you’re a soldier, so I’ll stand in the vanguard?”
“yes. It is.”
“why? I heard that famous religious leaders have no interest in worldly affairs. To suddenly stand in the vanguard for the imperial family sounds like the sun will rise in the west.”
“Wouldn’t that be loyalty to His Majesty and the Imperial Family?”
“Got it. Even if we prepare an expeditionary force now, it will not be dispatched until spring. Say that you will build a famous school at the vanguard, as the religious leader wants. It’s true that a famous cult leader called the best master in the world will serve as a servant army.”
“The headmaster would not hesitate to take a position lower than that for the sake of His Majesty and the Imperial Family.”
“i get it. go away.”
“yes.”
When the prefect Xuanzang withdrew, the emperor summoned Yi Seung, the courtesy soldier Piltae-gam (司禮秉筆太監).
“Did you find your majesty?”
“Listen to the scenery of the great general.”
Lee Seung looked up at the emperor with startled eyes at the word “Pungseung.”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Are you trying to raise the conquest army again?”
“Isn’t it natural? Enemies are raising money outside our borders, just to watch?”
“Wouldn’t General Namok be better than Pungseung?”
“Nam-ok has a strong spirit, so he doesn’t get along well with famous religious leaders. The horse is Baek Ui-jong, but the famous teacher is the best master in the world. If it’s a pungseung, I’ll be able to suit the lord in moderation.”
“Listening to Your Majesty’s words, it seems that the scenery is more suitable than the aquamarine.”
Lee Seung-gi nodded his head in admiration.
Anyway, if Nam-ok and the famous religious leader started a discord on the front line, it would be a disaster.
If the famous cult leader kills Nam-ok in a fit of anger and takes control of the conquest army, the imperial family could be in jeopardy.
On that day, the emperor appointed General Pungseung as the commander of the conquest army and ordered him to prepare for the northern conquest.

Hapbi.
Namgung Se.
I made up my mind to marry, but I couldn’t tell the Sword King Namgung Byeok and the Blue Cloud Sword Namgung Cheon.
This is because the conflict between Namgungbyeok and Namgungcheon was so severe that he noticed.
If Namgung Byeok was worried about the safety of the world and the criticism that Yeon Jeok-ha would receive, Namgung-cheon said that if it was unavoidable anyway, he should at least save his sister.
While listening to the two people who were dating, Gu Tiannu also made Shen Tong prepare for the trip.
It was the third day since Yeonjeokha stayed at Namgungse.
At the end of dinner, Namgung Byeok called Yeon Jeok Ha and Sim Tong to the main house.
As soon as I entered the room where I was dating, I looked at the complexion of Namgung Byeok and Namgungcheon.
The two of them, who used to face each other with awkward faces until yesterday, were a little different today.
“Did you call me?”
Namgung Byeok nodded and asked in a calm tone.
“Are the preparations going well?”
Since it was a question with the intention of leaving, he scratched his head with a face of familiarity.
“yes.”
“Once I have made up my mind, I must hurry.”
“yes? What are you talking about?”
“Today, I met military officers from Mugeukmun at ‘Southern Maeng’ during the day. They say they will conquer the northern barbarians next spring.”
“Ah yes…”
He tilted his head, not knowing what he had to do with it.
Namgoongchun, who had been listening, interrupted.
“Father, did the expeditionary force ask for help from the South?”
“It is not.”
“Then why did you tell the enemy to hurry?”
“It looks like the famous religious leader put his head on.”
“yes?”
Namgungcheon widened her eyes when the story of the famous religious leader suddenly came out.
It’s because I can’t understand the relationship between the northern conquest and the famous religion.
Namgung Byeok explained while looking at Yeonjeokha and Namgungcheon alternately.
“The famous religious leader first told the emperor that he would help the conquest of the north. It is said that the emperor, not wanting to miss this opportunity, ordered General Pungseung to conquer.”
Yeonjeokha muttered with an absurd face.
“her! You mean to behead 100,000 in war.”
“right. It is an intention to behead 100,000 people under the protection of the emperor. It’s a good thing for both the emperor and the famous religious leaders, so it will come true. I have to meet the master before he leaves Mt. Fengji, so hurry up.”
“yes!”
Yeonjeokha bravely replied.
Namgung Byeok, who had been vehemently opposed until morning after saying he didn’t know what to do with people, hurry up.
Namgungcheon stood beside him.
“Hey, it’s good for you. I’m a little concerned about who will come, but the famous teacher has no interest in Kang-ho anyway. In Mt. Fengji, you have to work hard and stir-fry alone. Even if you say that after your father’s three-year contract, the Hocheon League will go to war with the famous cult leader, never get involved.”
“I don’t know if Hocheonmaeng has the energy to do that. Right now, even if you push your back, everyone will back away.”
At Namgung Byeok’s words, Namgungcheon nodded.
Is it because of thirty years of peace?
The Chilpamun was not the old Chilpamun.
When the story was roughly finished, Yeon Jeok-ha carefully took his luck.
“Then I will depart for Mt. Pungji at dawn tomorrow.”
I wanted to go right now, but I had to put up with it because it was not a day or two away.
At dawn the next day, Yeonjeokha and Simtong set out on the road in a two-headed wagon given by Namgung family.

Namjikryeseong.
Jeon Cho-hyun.
Dark early evening.
The carriage, which was speeding through Guandu, stopped at a shabby inn on the roadside.
After that, Jiilgang, the coachman of the Namgung family, who was sitting in the coachman’s seat, shouted at the carriage.
“It’s okay, I think I’ll have to rest here today!”
Soon after, the carriage door was opened, and a tingling sensation and heartache fell.
Yeonjeokha said while looking at Jiilgang’s frozen face from the winter wind.
“Mister, it’s okay at any time, so if it’s cold, ask him to rest and then go. We don’t know how cold it is because we’re in a carriage.”
“Yes yes! Don’t worry.”
Looking at Jiilgang’s dying face, they start dating ‘tsk tsk!’ and clicked his tongue.
The coachman from Namgungse did not intend to rest at all.
I know very well how much he cares for Namgoong-yeon, the queen of ten warlords, but I am worried about what will happen if he collapses like that.
Even now.
I had to find a place to stay before the sun went down, but the coachman just ran.
Just in time, an inn caught my eye, so it was a shame that I almost ended up homeless.
Homelessness in December is so difficult that even a master of Moorim shakes his head.
It would be even more arduous for an ordinary coachman.
And yet he was driving the wagon, literally disregarding his life.
He half-forced and went inside to take care of the horse outside.
“Uncle will fall down before you say anything. Old Man Shim has clear ears, so let’s eat and go.”
“I am okay.”
“It’s because I’m not okay.”
In the end, Jiilgang sat down opposite Yeonjeokha and Simtong.
When the food was served, Jiilgang ate it as if he were blindfolded by Maparam, and hurriedly stood up.
“I really enjoyed the meal. I will go see some horses.”
Yeon Jeok-ha and Sim-tong, who had their mouths full of food, had to let him go without saying anything.
After the meal, the heartache asked while drinking tea.
“By the way, Gongja.”
“why?”
“To be honest, I was a bit surprised when Confucius asked us to go to the Namgung family at Mt. Fengji.”
“Why are you surprised?”
“It takes four months just to go back and forth. Is it okay for your mother-in-law to be alone for such a long time? It’s a strange place where you don’t know where it is, isn’t it?”
“Heaven of Kings?”
“yes.”
“Old Sim, do you know what the heavens of kings are like?”
“I don’t know. You said you were out of the sky?”
“okay. I can’t imagine how many universes I have to go through. It’s impossible in my head.”
“So you should have been quicker.”
“I’m not a smart person like sister Yeon. I can’t even reach my father-in-law or my brother-in-law.”
“Certainly, Confucius’ use of his head is a bit problematic.”
“Old Sim didn’t see the Golden Temple, did he? The moment I saw the golden thread, I was breathless and stunned. The top ten masters were fine, but the master of gold was scared.”
“Is that enough?”
I looked at Yeonjeokha with a sad face.
I’ve never heard the word ‘terrifying’ come out of his mouth.
Isn’t the famous witch of the era called the best person in the world also the same as the old woman next door?
“But something better is coming. No matter how brazen I am, I know when I have to think. I’m the kind of person who always looks for a place to lie down and stretches out my feet.”
“I know that.”
Heartache shook his head.
Yeonjeokha seems to act spontaneously, but in fact it is not.
He is quite meticulous, and only gets into accidents when he can handle it.
“That’s why I went to Namgung Family House. After sister Yeon, they are the smartest and most reliable people.”
“Is that amount of time okay?”
“There is something my sister said after reading an old book called Beomcheonyokgyewangjaecheon. They say that ‘Wangjaecheon’ is like a paradise on earth. It is described as an unimaginably rich and beautiful world?”
“Isn’t ‘Wang Jaecheon’ the ‘Heaven of Kings’? her! The three-headed dog and the black knight said the whole world was paradise on earth?”
He asked with an embarrassed face.
Wouldn’t it be a monster from the underworld like the Twelve Horsemen?
No matter how well I tried to think of it, it didn’t look like something from paradise on earth.
