Episode 752.
Masked Dragon (2)
It was a series of shocking words.
Yeonwi’s words were full of sincere confidence. However, it was not something to be said easily in front of the emperor, and it was difficult to consider it polite.
But surprisingly, a remark that was so overtly rude did not feel rude at all.
Is it because of the low-pitched voice that is pleasant to listen to?
It may not be just because of that. Yeonwi’s attitude and atmosphere itself made it clear that what he said was not against etiquette.
Even though it was clear that it was time to attack, the empress kept her mouth shut and looked at Yeonwi as if she were fascinated.
Grumbling.
A ray of cold sweat ran down Wooheon’s back.
‘What kind of situation is this?’
He could hardly understand the current situation.
Munseok, the Grand General of the Palace, led his troops to the royal palace. It was true.
And I also learned that the military included the head of the Yan family, the head of the Peng family, and the daughter of the Zhuge family.
There were no problems up to that point. Wooheon was good at gathering information and deriving answers that were closest to reality based on it. Therefore, it was judged that it would be difficult to overcome the troops of Geum and Dongchang who had been dispatched with that level of force.
He was confident that even if he could break through it, he would never be able to break through the Shinhwa religion experts waiting around the royal palace.
It was a natural decision. Even with the Red Dragon Sword, he possessed a force that could compete with any Jangmun of the Nine Sects.
There, not only the Hongryonggung, who were skilled in sniping, but also numerous experts who had trained in the art of Mythology in the imperial palace for a long time without any rank were camped there.
It was a barrier that even a Shaolin leader could not penetrate. No, even with three Shaolin master level experts, it was not a barrier that could be easily breached. At least Wooheon thought so.
‘no way?!’
Wooheon’s eyes turned to Yeonwi.
A heavy rain of swords crashing down from the ceiling. A master who can reveal such a menacing way of life so clearly can be said to be one of the best forces among the heads of the nine factions and the six generations.
However, it is not enough to break through the many troops prepared by Woo Heon.
‘Could it be that he… has opened that realm?!’
I couldn’t figure it out.
Of course it couldn’t have happened. Even though his martial arts skills were sealed, his senses did not die. His senses and instincts were telling him that Yeonwi’s level had not reached ‘there’.
‘…!’
So it was more of a problem.
Did you break through the iron wall and reach the royal palace with a force that could not open the sky?
This can be seen as meaning that there is a secret way to deal with absolute experts who have opened the sky even if they have not reached the level of heaven.
‘Nonsense!’
Otherwise, he may have had the eye to use the best strategy at every moment. Isn’t his immediate son, Yeon Ho-jeong, a rare monster who destroyed all the strategies of the Three Churches with not only tremendous military power but also a tactical plan that could only be called genius?
Where did you learn those strategies and tactics? There is a high probability that he learned it from his father, Yeonwi. If you think about it that way, it wasn’t a possibility.
The problem is that even so, the greatness of Yeonwi does not fade.
It was equally dangerous to have martial arts skills that could take on an absolute expert who had reached a level that was not possible in the sky, or to have a genius tactical plan that was enough to break through a sect-level power single-handedly.
‘It can’t go on like this.’
The emperor is listening to the words of such a dangerous person.
No, it wasn’t just listening, it was a conversation.
Another unexpected piece was the emperor.
Even so, Yan Wei had no idea that the emperor would be interested in her. No matter how great Yan Wei was, if the emperor had ordered that b*stard be punished, he would have brought in his masters and attacked Yan Wei, even if it meant polluting the royal palace.
Neither this nor that. I thought it would be like this, but it wasn’t, and I wondered if it would be like that, but it was really like that.
Wooheon felt his head spinning. I didn’t know what to do at this point.
While Wooheon was extremely embarrassed and just rolled his eyes.
Finally, the emperor’s mouth opened.
“That is a truly seductive and dangerous statement.”
Yeonwi’s eyes sparkled.
It’s a dangerous statement, but it’s also a fascinating one. These were not the words to come from the mouth of an incompetent monarch who had let go of state affairs and lived in the pleasures of this world.
“When you first greeted me, you clearly called me the Son of Heaven.”
“That’s right.”
“What is the Son of Heaven? The Son of Heaven is the child of heaven. “Because they are children of heaven, they are different from humans in the world and are therefore noble.”
“….”
“Your rudeness to this burden is going beyond the limit as time goes by.”
“Wrong.”
“Wrong?”
Yeonwi’s voice now sounded as smooth as a song.
“The Son of Heaven is just a title.”
“…!”
“The reason the emperor is called the Son of Heaven is because he is a ruler who must take care of the people on behalf of heaven. Your Majesty was born to the late Queen Mother. “The Queen Mother is also a human child, and Your Majesty is also a human child.”
“That statement alone makes you a high treason criminal.”
“Also, the reason why the Son of Heaven is noble is not because he is a child of heaven.”
“….”
“A person with a heart of compassion for all people, a person responsible for feeding all people, and a person born with a heavenly destiny to dedicate his life to protecting and enriching this land where all people will live.”
“….”
“That is why the Son of Heaven is respected. “It is precious because the lives of countless people hang on its shoulders.”
“These words are extremely dangerous. “Does this mean that the burden is less than that of the people?”
“Without the people, there is no emperor.”
“….”
“Your Majesty has been neglecting his duties for several decades. Therefore, he has not been the Emperor for several decades.”
Yeonwi closed her eyes.
“Please become the Emperor.”
It was a shock as if lightning had struck.
Not only the empress, but even Woo Heon, who was dizzy, was shocked by Yeon Wi’s words.
Become the Son of Heaven.
Return to the brilliant emperor you once were.
Correct Tang Jin’s faulty imperial palace and realize what heaven’s mandate is.
It was a direct statement that would be difficult to come out of anyone’s mouth anywhere. It contained rules that ignored rudeness, hope, sincerity, and the law.
“That’s a dangerous statement. These are the remarks of a high treason criminal for whom it would not be excessive to destroy the three clans, or even the nine clans. “In all the years that my former emperor was alive, I have never seen anyone as reckless as you.”
“….”
“But your eyes are truly clear.”
At that moment, a pair of eyes flashed like a thunderbolt from the shady figure.
‘…!’
Yeonwi’s eyes wavered.
The emperor’s dragon’s eye, which is hard to see. The two treasure-like eyes that adorned its dragon eyes were eerily clear and transparent.
It was that moment.
At that very moment, Yeonwi was sure.
‘He didn’t give up.’
It was as expected.
‘Your Majesty did not give up the imperial palace and the empire.’
Yeonwi did not know the circumstances so far.
No, no one here will know. Not only the Empress, but even Wu Xian, who devised all kinds of cunning plans to make the Emperor suffer, may not know the emperor’s true situation.
I felt that confident. The moment I looked into the emperor’s eyes, I automatically realized it.
“The Son of Heaven is merely a ruler who governs the people on behalf of heaven, and is not a deity possessed by heaven… Yes, it has been a long time since I heard this. “It’s a direct statement that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth just by hearing it.”
“Your Majesty!”
Wooheon shouted that without even realizing it.
said the emperor.
“Can I call you Yeongaju?”
“It’s just an honor.”
“Yeongaju, I don’t know what you believed and what brought you to this place. You don’t know much about me or the imperial palace. “Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right.”
“But how did we get here? Looking at you like this, I know that there are not many masters in the world who can rival you, but at the same time, I also know that you are not a simpleton who goes wild and believes in only a simple martial arts skill.”
“….”
“If we were wrong, we could have been stigmatized as a traitor family. “If I hadn’t listened to you and told Tae-gam to catch and kill you, I would never have been able to get out of here.”
“I guess so.”
“Did you risk your life to come here?”
“I came here risking my life, but I had no intention of dying at the hands of a group of traitors and cultists, even if I had to die at the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Are you saying that life and death are up to you?”
“At least we can put it off.”
“How?”
“I was prepared to die by the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, but I did not say that I was prepared to die by His Majesty ‘at the time.’”
“…!!”
“If His Majesty showed me something unbecoming of a Son of Heaven, Soin planned to show off my best talent here.”
This could be said to be the most terrifying statement made by the National Assembly today.
The Empress’s lightly powdered face turned completely white, and even Wu Heon gaped in shock. Yeonwi’s remarks went too far.
Even that emperor.
Even the eyes of the emperor sitting on the throne were shaking slightly.
But what was truly surprising was the emperor’s subsequent remarks.
“Is this because the emperor is only the father of all people and the ruler of the empire, and can fall at any time if he does not serve as the emperor?”
“That’s why I think he is the one who reigns over all people.”
“You Murim people do not recognize the imperial palace and government officials. “How can such words come out of your mouth as you live under the humiliating provisions of non-interference with government officials?”
“I don’t think this is the place to discuss what happened in the past. Even if it were such a position, small people do not have enough perspective and wisdom to be able to consider the good and bad of the past.”
Yeonwi’s eyes lit up.
“What is important for small people is this very moment.”
“….”
“But not long after opening his eyes to the world, Soin also saw many things wrong in his life. Byeok Chang-ho is a small man who only realized what to do now that foreign powers have invaded and planned to devastate this continent.”
“….”
“Please forgive the small person who only came to me now with only the pride of being upright. “I will not be able to pay for this sin while I live.”
scary.
It’s scary, but it’s different from Wooheon.
Wooheon said that he would later receive punishment for breaking the law and etiquette as a traitor disguised as a loyalist.
However, Yeonwi risked death and came to right the wrongs, but it is said that breaking the etiquette and laws of the imperial palace is not a mortal sin.
The real mortal sin he speaks of is his own foolishness that came too late.
The emperor closed his eyes.
For some reason, the shadow that had settled on the statue seemed to have cleared up a bit.
“….”
An extremely heavy silence enveloped the palace.
How much time has passed?
“A bunch of traitors and cultists.”
“….”
“I won’t ask you how you knew that.”
“….”
“What I want to know is whether their mistakes can be revealed to the public.”
It was then.
chuck!
Wooheon suddenly got up and tried to retreat to the wall of the royal palace.
And at that moment, Yeonwi’s hand went towards Wooheon.
Oooooh!
An invisible, intangible energy began to bind Wooheon’s body.
Wooheon’s body trembled. He is doing his best to escape from Yeonwi’s enormous intangible spirit.
Yeonwi’s eyes became cold.
“It is time to utilize the talents we have.”
Slurp.
