Episode 789.
The line of a great country (5)
After finishing the meeting with the emperor, Yan Haozheng went to Yan Wei.
There was more than just Yeonwi in that room.
Starting with Zhuge Zhenyeon, there were Mukbi, Kangryang, Jinyang, Ki Woohee, as well as Peng Mugang and Gaeul Sang. Hwa Jin-cheon was unable to attend due to cleaning up the area around the imperial palace.
“…So that’s how it happened.”
“Yes that’s right.”
A father’s eyes as he looks at his son are like a lake without even a breath of wind.
“Don’t you regret it?”
“Once I make a decision, I just do my best to make sure it’s the right one.”
“That’s true, but I don’t know your hatred toward the three religions. Although you may have let go of a lot, it is clear that your life’s goal is the collapse of the three religions.”
“you’re right.”
“In order to make your Majesty’s dream come true, you will have to do things you don’t want to do once in a while.”
“I will take it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Furthermore, my goal is on the path that your Majesty the Emperor is aiming for. “You just have to keep doing it as you have done so far.”
“That’s true too, but…”
Yeonwi asked as if throwing a tantrum.
“Now the three religions are no longer the top priority, right?”
We unite the world to create a safe world.
Yeon Ho-jeong could not even imagine how difficult a task it would be. However, in order to unite the world, the three religions must disappear.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“Your Majesty has also accepted it. “Your Majesty said that if the three religions are on the path you are aiming for, I cannot tolerate it.”
“….”
“The basic premise is to destroy the three religions. A new era will come after that.”
“I see.”
“And…”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“I hate the Three Religions, but this hatred is no longer just mine.”
“It’s not just yours?”
“Until now, too many people have shed blood because of the fanatics of the Three Religions. Also, as soon as the existence of the Three Religions is known throughout the world, many people will be wary of them.”
“….”
“I don’t necessarily need to destroy the enemy with my own hands. “It would be better to end it with my own hands if possible, but as long as the result is the same, I don’t care how they end.”
Yeonwi smiled.
We will hate our enemies and destroy them. The son was saying such ugly things. As a father, it was not a situation worth laughing heartily.
But Yeonwi was willing.
If the result is the same anyway, there is no need to throw myself into hatred and burn myself. My son was saying that.
‘As expected, it has grown greatly.’
This is exactly what Yeonwi wanted for her son.
Yeonhojeong is different from Yeonjipyeong. Furthermore, he was completely different from both himself and the people of previous generations.
It was impossible to force one’s relatives, who had different tendencies, different personalities, and different values in life, to become a gentleman. The son has his own philosophy and way to achieve a better life.
Even though this image shown now is a sad feeling called hatred, this image of being somewhat free from it was enough to satisfy Yeonwi.
“I am much more happy that your mind and thoughts are growing properly, little by little, than the fact that you are the first to hold a martial arts performance in your family.”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
“I don’t know if it’s right. “Anyway, blood flows.”
“This is an area where individuals cannot do anything. Times and situations are different. “If you live your life to the best of your ability given the circumstances, that alone makes your life worthwhile.”
“thank you.”
Yeonwi sighed.
“It’s about impertinence to government affairs… I had a conversation with His Majesty about that, but I never once thought of it as awkward.”
Peng Mu-gang suddenly intervened.
“Of course. The Treaty of Non-Aggression was signed hundreds of years ago. We were born and live in a world where this is so natural. “It’s easy not to care.”
“exactly. But we also read the words of the saints and learned history. If that were the case, they should have known that the provision of non-aggression against government affairs itself is like a sand castle that can collapse at any time.”
“That too. Well, there’s nothing you can do about it. “It has already passed, so from now on, we should work hard for a better world.”
Yan Wei looked at Peng Wujiang.
Peng Mu-gang tilted his head.
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“The Peng family of Hebei is a prestigious family with the longest history among the powerful and six families.”
“What is it?”
“If His Majesty’s dream comes true, the realm of martial arts may disappear altogether.”
“aha?”
Peng Mu-gang shook his head.
“So, what Yeongaju means is that the main family, which has been a prestigious family in the martial arts world for hundreds of years, will lose its status if the martial arts group disappears and the entire central plains are declared an imperial territory. Are you okay with that?”
Yeonwi’s expression became a little awkward.
“It’s not a big mistake.”
As expected, Yeonwi did not know how to talk back.
Peng Mu-gang laughed.
“The laws of a famous gate come from its history and values. Even if you own thousands of miles of land and have a mountain of treasures, can they compare to the value of the spirit and martial arts that have been passed down from generation to generation?”
Yeonwi smiled.
Paengmugang whetted his appetite.
“You don’t know what Yeongaju is worried about. “When people are unable to enjoy what they once enjoyed, they are bound to become dissatisfied, no matter how noble the reason may be.”
“exactly.”
“There will need to be some adjustments in that regard. “Both the Empire and the Murim will need agreements, and there will be many ways to gradually become one through appropriate policies.”
Peng Mu-gang said while looking at Yeon Ho-jeong.
“In order to become a unified world where order and law live, we need Moorim’s help no matter what. It is impossible to subdue the martial arts by force. “Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right.”
“I think Your Majesty is wise and would not push through something that cannot be resolved with unreasonable policies.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“I trust you will make a reasonable decision. As the matriarch said, Your Majesty is never in a hurry even though you have lived patiently for decades. “You won’t ask for more damage than both parties can accept.”
“I think so too. However, it is important not to jump to conclusions until such policies are actually implemented. “Right now, everyone is just trying to create a better world. I think it would be okay to know this much.”
It was a simple summary.
Certainly, Peng Wujiang was worthy of being the head of the six families. As Yeonwi said, if the world changes dramatically, those who have wealth will inevitably feel anxious, but he, who knew exactly what the value of a famous family is, was not anxious at all.
“Actually, the real problem is not about prestige or power.”
There was a serious look on Peng Wugang’s face.
“Are you okay?”
A tremendous amount of content was contained in one short word.
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile. It was a smile that seemed a little tired.
“We have to make it okay.”
“If it were known right away how the marriage between Lord Mukryong and the imperial family took place, many people would criticize you. And…”
Peng Mu-gang glanced at Yan Wei.
“Your annual leave could be in jeopardy.”
Yeonwi smiled cheerfully and said something.
“When that moment comes, help me.”
“Huh! Of course I will help you. “I’m just worried that those who are holding out will be overwhelmed.”
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong intervened.
“I have given some thought to that.”
“her? is it?”
“yes. “I don’t know if it will work, though.”
Peng Mu-gang, who was lost in thought for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, I guess you took care of it.”
Full-sang, who had been quietly listening to the conversation the whole time, quietly joined in.
“If it becomes an issue, our openness will also help with annual leave.”
“What are you doing?”
“And speaking of which, don’t they have a backbone that’s even more vicious than ours?”
“huh?”
“Your Majesty the Emperor.”
“…ah?”
Full-sang looked at Yeon-ho-jeong with wide eyes.
“What kind of man is this man that he would say he would help without a strong supporter? In other words, if the Yeonga cannot survive in the martial arts world, it is okay to just stick to the imperial palace.”
It was a bit wordy, but it was definitely not wrong.
It may not be possible for the Black Island Martial Forest, but the White Island Martial Forest can never ignore the Imperial Palace. Even if the emperor has no power, the moment he announces his intention to go to the Murim Alliance, the Murim people of all political factions will come out and bow to him.
That was the limit of Baekdo martial arts, which valued justification and revered morality and cooperation.
“As Lord Panga said, it is not a matter to be discussed right now, so it would be better to end this conversation here for now.”
“Yes, you must be careless about important things.”
Yeonwi’s face became serious.
“What are you going to do? “I can’t pretend not to know your personality.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“You can’t do that. “Given their careless nature, they would hate to pretend not to know even more.”
“Hmm.”
“And both owners have the freedom to refuse.”
“huh?”
“We just talked among ourselves, and we haven’t asked about Yang’s doctor yet, right? “If Vice President Yang rejects this offer, no one knows what will happen.”
Peng Wugang’s eyes widened.
“Rejection…?!”
It was a marriage proposed directly by His Majesty the Emperor. In the first place, it did not occur to Peng Wu-gang that there was an option to refuse it.
Yeonwi’s face became even more serious.
“Yes, that can happen. But if that happens…”
“The problem will become enormous.”
“her!”
“There is a martial artist who has already rejected Your Majesty’s offer once. I close right away. “If even the martial arts people who were introduced as alternatives reject this wedding, His Majesty will not be able to look at the martial arts people with a smile.”
“Isn’t this a complete outsider?”
“It’s foreign currency.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became cold.
“I will come back with the results of that outsider. If we are not careful, Vice-Ju Yang may have to deal with both the Baekdo Martial Forest and the Imperial Palace.”
Everyone in the room felt their hearts go cold.
The situation is different, but they are tired of Yeonhojeong’s decision to take such a risky gamble without hesitation.
“Really…”
Gaeun-sang shook his head as if he couldn’t stop him.
“Whether you become a great master or a martial arts expert, that outrageous aggressiveness never changes.”
Jinyang trembled.
“I’m not sure what it is, but I do know that you’re a more adventurous person than you think.”
Zhuge Yan also added a word.
“I don’t think the information will leak, but I think it would be better to move quickly if possible.”
Yeonwi nodded and looked at Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed and said.
“I will leave for the Mukryongbu immediately today. “I will come back once I am ready to leave.”
When he stood up, Mukbi, Gangryang Jinyang, and Ki Woohee followed him.
Yeonwi said calmly.
“Hurry up and get ready and come back. “I have something else to talk about.”
“All right.”
As one problem is resolved, another problem arises.
It was the start of another busy day.
