Episode 429. Not everyone can agree with me (2)
“I also wanted to keep the vanguard in the palace. However, I changed my mind when I heard that there could be a dangerous moment if I wandered the world with my wife. In other words, isn’t one person’s inaction a talent limited to a person? There is a reason why heaven bestows talents on people. How can Liang’s ability be only for you? Rather than protecting one person, you should use your talents to strengthen the country and make the people live well.”
“The reason why I have followed Zhou Gong up until now is because he was good. If the avant-garde guard is the one who can prevent the main attacker from danger, I am the one who can protect the main attacker from falling into danger in the first place.”
“Ryang, I understand your desire to follow me, but think about who the people of this country really need.”
“The Lord is the person I need. There are many educated people among the people who would give the emperor proper advice, even if it wasn’t for me.”
Zhuge Liang looked at Gahu and Sima Hui, who were making similar expressions together.
“There are many people who can give you proper advice, but no one can move my brother’s heart more than you or the soldiers gathered here. And you are the most influential among them. If I was wandering around the world and found out that really irrational things were happening, who would I contact? Of course, you can put it directly into your brother, but why not put it into you first before your brother?”
“No matter what you say, I will follow you.”
Zhuge Liang did not give up his will despite the painter’s earnest persuasion. There were bloodshot eyes in his face, reddened by alcohol.
widely.
At that moment, the fireman put down the glass he was drinking.
And he opened his mouth with sincere eyes as if he were going to take out his liver.
“Ryang! As much as you like me, I like you too. No, I like you more than you.”
“Joo Joo Gong!”
“But no matter how much you like it, people have their own place. Even if everyone in the world says that my seat is the throne, just as my job as a doctor is yours, it is your position to assist the emperor and help the people of the world live prosperously. The way you repay me for the grace you have received from me is to sit there and do your part.”
“The Duke of Zhou, why do I…”
Gap.
The painter pulled Zhuge Liang’s arm, who was crying, and hugged him like a lover.
“Joo Joo Gong!”
“Please. Think of helping your brother as repaying the favor you have received from me.”
“…..”
“Although I am going to practice medicine while wandering the world, my mother is here in the ecliptic, so I will visit her at least once a year. At that time, let’s share the story I went through while touring the world and the story you went through in the imperial palace.”
“Joo Joo Gong… Hehe! If you ask me to repay the grace I received from the lord… I will repay you.”
“thanks!”
The fireman comforted Zhuge Liang and looked at the others who came with Zhuge Liang.
All of them were those who had been with him on the battlefield for a long time.
“I know that everyone is of the same mind as Liang. But if all of you follow me, how can you lead this troubled country alone? Please, if you think you owe me grace, stay by my brother’s side and repay the favor.”
The painter looked at Guan-wu, who could be the representative of a longevity.
Gwanwoo met his eyes, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head.
“If the Duke of Zhou mentions Grace, how can I refuse? I will do as the governor wishes.”
When Guan Yu agreed to follow, the other generals nodded and agreed.
Realizing that he had finally changed their minds, the painter let out a sigh of relief.
After a while, the atmosphere of the drinking party, which was filled with regret, gradually loosened and changed to an atmosphere where light jokes popped out.
The drinking party lasted all night, and it was only at dawn that one by one they couldn’t overcome the alcohol and fell asleep.
The fireman ordered the servants to move the bookkeeper and longevity into the room, and then came out and looked at the sky at dawn.
The twinkling stars and the moon are gradually losing their light, but the eastern sky is getting brighter and preparing for the morning.
“I see. Since the world is dark, the heroes only shine like the stars and the moon. Now, when the sun rises, there will be no need for heroes to shine anymore.”
A world where heroes don’t have to shine.
I thought that such a world was truly a good world for the people to live in.
* * *
“….He has a beautiful face, good manners, and thanks to his father, he learned to write from a young age, so he is well-educated. At this level, I think she is a talented woman who will not be left out no matter where she is presented.”
In front of Pyeonseon, there was a portrait of a woman belonging to a noble family, and on the other side, Choseon was explaining the woman in the portrait.
Choseon has been investigating the prestige of the prestigious nobleman at Pyeonseon’s request these days.
If the Pyeonseon was to seek the daughter’s sense of security, he would have ordered the doryeongs to be investigated, not Gyusu.
The reason why she ordered the maids to investigate was actually because they were looking for the husband’s second wife.
Pyeonseon has a fairy-like mind and wants to share Nanggun with another woman, but because it is an era where the male preference ideology is strong that men inherit the generation, they want to get a young woman as their second wife and inherit the line of the painter.
Of course, there was self-will in making this decision, but there was also another intention due to the words around.
“Huh~ Good job finding out.”
Pyeonseon let out a short sigh, and Choseon hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
“You don’t like this rule either?”
“I know that you have a pretty face and are excellent in many ways, but somehow I don’t like it.”
Cho Seon looked into Pyeon Seon’s eyes for a moment, then shook his head.
“Madam, even if I bring you a portrait of a certain queen and show it to you, you probably won’t be satisfied.”
“yes? What are you talking about?”
“Don’t you know, too? In fact, I am the one who shared Nanggunim with another woman, so I can guess how she is feeling right now. Of course, in my case, it wasn’t stolen, it was stolen, but anyway, it’s never pleasant to share my husband with another woman.”
“Isn’t Mrs. Cho on good terms with Mrs. Um?”
“We get along well, but in the process of getting better, there were many stories that can’t be expressed in words.”
Pyeonsun nodded her head at Chosun’s words.
He knew what was going on with her.
“Huh~ Actually, if I had been living with my husband for the entire time, I would feel a little less unfair even if I got a concubine…. For over ten years, my husband was taken away on the battlefield, and now that I’ve finally got it back, I don’t have the courage to laugh and share it. .”
“I guess so. Besides, all men tend to have their eyes on a young and pretty woman, but no matter how much Godfather Hwa loves her, when a young woman wags her tail, she can’t help but waver.”
“I know that this kind of heart is a stumbling block in Nanggunnim’s future, but… it’s really not easy.”
“Madam, but be firm and this is what you have to do. Isn’t the reason why Godfather Hwa is trying to hand over the throne to Hwasajasa because he doesn’t have an heir?”
“That’s right.”
“If Father Hwa had a grown-up son like Rangi now, the imperial authority would have been passed on to his son. So, you should hurry up and take in a concubine to look after your heir.”
“Huh~ I guess so. Other feudal lords roamed the battlefield and sowed seeds for many people, but how could my prince not do that?”
Cho Seon twitched his lips slightly at Pyeon Seon’s complaint.
If he had sown a lot of seeds, he would have resented it.
“Isn’t that all because the godfather loves only the madam?”
“Whoa… I don’t like it.”
Pyeonseon sighed and continued.
“You should also take it.”
“Hold your heart firmly. Only when the mistress shows broad generosity will the godfather recognize your concessions and embrace them even more.”
After hearing Choseon’s words, Pyeonseon calmed down and made a decision.
“It can’t be helped that you fall in love with a young woman, but you shouldn’t lose that heart.”
Pyeonseon chose one of several portraits.
“I like this one the most. Which family did you say it was?”
“You’re rich…”
“Madam, fireman, Eosa’s godfather is here.”
At that moment, the maid’s voice suddenly reached their ears.
Chosun stopped talking and hurriedly got up from his seat and prepared to greet the painter.
“Madam, I am here. uh? Mrs. Cho is here. Long time no see.”
The painter looked at Chosun and bowed his head.
Every time I see her, I feel sorry for Yeo-po, who lost her life trying to save herself.
“Your godfather. Long time no see.”
“If I had known that Mrs. Cho was coming, I would have come a little slower, but I was rude.”
“no. I was just about to wake up. Madam, I will go now.”
“I’ll send someone when you’ve made up your mind.”
“Yes then. See you next time, godfather.”
“yes. Take a look.”
The hwabu sent off Cho-seon, showing an example comparable to that of Yeo-po. Then he looked at his wife and at the portrait on the table.
“What portrait? ah! Are you still thinking about who to take as your concubine?”
When the painter frowned slightly, Pyeonseon let out a short sigh as he noticed.
In fact, taking someone as a concubine was something that the painter had flatly refused to do since the first word came out.
“I know that you love me too. But that doesn’t mean I can’t cut off your line because I’m not good enough.”
“Why is my line cut off? When Rangi gets married, she will have a child, and that child will become my generation.”
“If you hold a wedding ceremony, you will give birth to a child from another family, so how can you become the heir of Nanggunnim?”
“It is an undeniable fact that he is my grandson, only his surname has changed.”
“You may think so, but other people don’t. And although I am so resolute now, it is a choice I will definitely regret later.”
“You won’t regret it, so please don’t ask Mrs. Cho like this in the future.”
“I don’t understand you, Mr. Nang. A man naturally wants to be close to a young and pretty woman, but why is it that I’m all old…”
The painter let out a long sigh at the wife’s words.
There are several stereotypes that have lived in this era for a long time but still cannot be fixed, and one of them is monogamy.
“How would your wife feel if, years after Rangi got married, your son-in-law left the old Rangi and went looking for a younger woman?”
“That’s…”
Of course I felt dirty, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it.
The painter knew what to say even when she did not speak.
So I continued talking without listening to the answer to the end.
“I know what your wife is so worried about. But as you know, I’m more of a member of the council than the throne. No, I just said that I have no son as an excuse to yield the throne. And what if diarrhea stops? My older brother is going to take over the line of the painter, and I don’t care anyway? More than anything, I want to spend the rest of my life with my wife. I spent dozens of years on the battlefield and made my wife a widow, not a widow. Please let me do my wife’s job as a nanggun.”
Drooling…
While listening to the fireman’s words, Pyeonseon’s eyes burst with tears.
“I am Nanggun!”
As Pyeonseon hugged her, the fireman hugged her like she was going to be crushed.
“In a little while, the emperor will hand over the imperial authority to his older brother. When that time comes, let’s travel the world together.”
“If I’m with you, I think I’ll be happy even if it’s hell.”
“Among the many parables, why is it hell?”
“i love you!”
“I love you more!”
As the painter touched her lips with her lips, Pyeon-seon’s body trembled like a newlywed bride.
Something overwhelming rose from his chest and turned his head white.
