The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 455:

tumble tumble tumble…

I could have walked quietly.

However, I deliberately made footsteps loud to draw attention.

It didn’t stop there, and it even contained energy in every step, so each footstep sounded like a sound hole.

His eyes were focused and his breathing quieted down as if he felt stuffy at the sound of his energetic footsteps.

A distance of less than five chapters left before the emperor.

A few tens of steps were enough, but to those who looked at it, it only felt long, as if passing through an eternity bridge.

“Shin Udosa Jinmu greets His Majesty the Emperor.”

Jinmu, who had stopped at an appropriate distance, bowed politely and raised his head while kneeling.

At that moment, in everyone’s mind, the boundary between Moorim people and officials collapsed.

It wasn’t because the sound of his footsteps overpowered them.

It wasn’t because the momentum of an absolute warrior overwhelmed the crowd.

The Cheongsang’s carefully combed hair and neat official uniform with no wrinkles transformed him into a person who had served in government for a long time.

The eyes that opened naturally under the straight eyebrows showed a firmer will than anyone else, and the lips closed with the letter Hanil were full of stubbornness that did not compromise with injustice.

I could even feel the lofty feeling from Jinmu, who kept his upper body upright and looked at the emperor calmly.

“…”

The emperor, who looked down at Jinmu with half-open eyes, couldn’t help but admire his appearance.

Before deciding on the Daejeon meeting.

A noble lady whom he cherished came to him and sued him.

The core of the long story was Jinmu.

Suddenly, not long after receiving the position of Udosa and entering, I felt a strange interest in him who turned the palace upside down.

“He is a great man different from rumors.”

“It is no different. Each viewer would have expressed their feelings.”

Jinmu said, looking at the emperor without blinking.

“Awful! Bow your head and answer!”

Seeing Jinmu, who was confident despite ignoring courtesy and the law, the head of the government protest, who was beside him, opened his eyes fiercely and rebuked him.

“Okay. Get rid of the protesters.”

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”

As if protesting at the emperor’s hand, he bowed his back and retreated as if he had never raised his voice.

you were lucky

If the emperor hadn’t stopped you, you should have been careful on the road at night.

“So, you, under the direction of the noblewoman, inspected the corruption of the officials?”

“…?”

Guibi’s instructions?

Jinmu glanced at the princess.

A madwoman with a flower in her hair was sitting next to the emperor, so calmly.

You mean you packaged it like that?

“It’s not necessarily like that, but it’s true that we inspected corruption.”

Seeing Jinmu answer without raising an eyebrow, the emperor burst out laughing.

“Not necessarily? Ha ha ha ha!”

“…”

The emperor, who had been laughing for a while to say goodbye to Daejeon, stopped laughing and then continued.

“Well, it’s not just that. Following the King’s instructions, he must have also inspected the corruption of the ministers on the other side.”

“…”

A knowing smile.

What is this?

Was it really the guy whose eyes and ears were covered by the skirt width? What is that look in your eyes that seems to know everything?

The minister of the other side he spoke of must be the greetings from the noble side.

Jinmu looked at the emperor with strange eyes.

“Good good. Whatever the case, this is a place created to praise you for your hard work.”

“…”

Jinmu’s eyes trembled for the first time since he entered the college entrance exam.

Congratulations…?

In the meantime, the gwibi covers her mouth with her sleeve and smiles with her eyes wide open.

why? why are you laughing

It was a completely unexpected reaction.

Why do you feel like you’re sitting on someone else’s board when you’re obviously on your own?

When he turned his head to look at the king, he was equally perplexed.

He also did not anticipate the current situation.

I thought it was right to push.

I thought that I would fall for the gwibi’s flattery and criticize myself, get angry, and ask for my sins.

But how?

Suddenly, the anxiety I felt before reared its head.

Wasn’t it a distortion caused by Wi Jeong-pil, who was hiding the crown prince?

Jinmu’s expression, which had only been calm, changed countless times in an instant.

“The queen praised you, saying that you were a loyalist of eternity.”

“…”

“I made the recommendation myself, but I didn’t think that even the corruption of my limbs would be inspected. It took a long time to calm myself down and cry.”

In an instant, Jinmu opened his eyes and looked at the princess.

What are you talking about now?

Could that bitch have exposed everything?

“Well, that is what power is. Whether you want it or not, problems always arise from places you haven’t looked at.”

The emperor’s words entered Jinmu’s ears as if they were hitting them.

“Still, I didn’t think that even the auspicious letter of Yukbu and the admiral of Seochang would commit such an ugly corruption.”

“…”

I thought it was completely exposed, but it seems that this bitch cut her tail in an appropriate line.

It was not that he openly pretended not to know, but rather, he withdrew after revealing that those who followed him were involved.

Except for my mistakes.

“But how could that be the fault of the king and queen? Of course, failing to pay close attention to those below you is also a sin, so you deserve to be punished, but you cannot punish them. Isn’t that right, Young King?”

“That’s… I’m sorry. your majesty.”

At the emperor’s question, the young king lowered his head with a distorted expression.

covered

With just a few words, the crimes of the young king and the nobles related to the corruption were cleared away.

It made it impossible to question them any longer.

Who would object to the fact that the emperor would personally forgive sins and send them to Buddhist temples?

It was only then that Jinmu seemed to know why the princess was smiling.

It’s like an elaborate year. You cut it very well.

But no matter what, you accepted it without question?

Jinmu had to correct all of the feelings he felt toward the emperor.

The dragon is a dragon, but a blind dragon blinded by the beauty of a woman.

No, on the other hand, I think I should praise the hem of Hwayangi’s skirt.

Since a dragon as big as that was imprisoned, isn’t it the hem of a skirt that is so outstanding that it can cover the sky?

But it doesn’t end there.

The story related to corruption is only the first number.

I expected to cut the tail somehow, so now it was time to counterattack.

“Since you have made a contribution for me, you should not ignore it. Does Jinmu or Udosa want something?”

“…”

The opportunity came.

Since you asked a question, you must answer it.

And the answer would be a grip that grabs the neck of that laughing princess.

“Since he is said to be unmanned, even a usable sword…”

“Your Majesty.”

“huh?”

Jinmu immediately cut off the emperor.

The royal guard once again glared at Jinmu, but the emperor was aloof and could not step forward.

“I have something I want just in time for my beliefs.”

“Hoo? What is it? Come on, tell me.”

Just like the emperor who shows curiosity, the princess makes a puzzled expression.

You must be curious.

What is the second number I will put out at the point where you cut off your tail and singular.

“In the process of interrogating His Majesty’s conviction, Admiral Seochang Wangjik, I found out a startling fact.”

“Amazing… what is that?”

As the emperor listened, there was a slight change in the eyes of the princess, who had been smiling gently.

Cut this out once.

“There was a conspiracy in the deaths of known princes who died of illness.”

“…!”

At Jinmu’s words, like thunder from the sky, the smile disappeared from the emperor’s face, and a cold chill that was difficult to express came to mind.

The atmosphere that had been amicable just a moment ago in congratulations on hard work has changed to the opposite.

It was as Jimmu intended.

“That you are now…”

Ptp-duk-duk-duk.

Tendons protruded from the back of the Emperor’s hand as he gripped the pedestal, and bloodshot eyes appeared in his bulging eyes.

“Do you know what you are talking about?”

“…”

With a trembling voice, the Emperor’s anger spread like a storm, and the servants of the Daejeon lowered their heads in unison.

everyone knew

An incident that threw the imperial family into chaos.

A story about princes who died with mysterious illnesses.

It was a reverse.

It was something that should never be touched and should not be taken out of one’s mouth carelessly.

No matter how much he was an emperor, he was a father who had lost his child in the end.

How can I forget the leader’s sadness?

How much alcohol did you drink to soothe the pain, how much pleasure did you get drunk on to forget?

It was only now that the sadness was fading away.

However, it was only natural that the emperor would be angry because he mentioned it so directly.

“Your Majesty. Freeze!”

One of the Taeui, who felt dangerous in the endless rage, tried to calm it down.

“Shut up!”

“….”

Seeing the emperor’s eyes revealing even a bloody murder, Tae-eui immediately fell on the floor and put his head down.

The emperor’s angry voice flowed softly.

“You know? It shouldn’t be said carelessly.”

“…”

“I lost three to the same disease. Even so, I couldn’t even find out the cause of that vicious illness. I couldn’t even see the body because it could be contagious. That’s why he died lonely without even receiving his father’s touch.”

“…”

“But what? Do you have a conspiracy?”

The Emperor’s voice trembled with anger.

Jinmu did not avoid the emperor’s bright eyes at all.

This was the second move prepared by Jinmu.

Isn’t the princess already biting her lower lip to avoid the eyes of others?

“It is not an illness.”

“…!”

Assertion, not speculation, drove the Daejeon into chaos.

“Isn’t it rice disease?”

“yes. It is poison, not disease.”

“poison…!”

The emperor was so startled that he jumped up and then stumbled back to his knees, probably feeling dizzy.

“Your Majesty!”

Taeui and the eunuchs, who had bowed their heads, hurriedly helped him sit down and trembled while trying to check his pulse.

“Inom! Listen to it, listen to it, and your arrogance pierces the sky!”

“How dare you disturb His Majesty’s statue with words that don’t sound like words!”

“What are the protesters doing! Hurry up and don’t drag him out!”

“…”

The voices of ministers erupted from everywhere, and the imperial palace guards guarding the palace approached, clenching their golden armor.

I roughly expected it.

But are you the emperor? How dare you point at me?

I’m afraid I’ll break my fingers.

However, Jinmu only looked at the princess and did nothing until the sword of the imperial guard touched his throat.

“Can’t everyone take care of themselves!”

When the turmoil in Daejeon showed no sign of calming down, King Yeong stood up and vomited a loud voice.

“How can these wolves act insolently in His Majesty’s presence! Even the imperial guards should step down and keep their original positions!”

“That can’t be, Your Highness.”

“Ugh!”

Despite King Yeong’s scolding, the garrison commanders thrust their blue sword blades into Jinmu’s neck.

“The King is right. Everyone back off.”

“your majesty.”

“this guy! Didn’t His Majesty tell you to step back!”

When the military commander hesitated, the young king shouted once more.

However, despite the commotion, Jinmu’s eyes were fixed on the lady whose expression changed from moment to moment.

Now what do you do?

Is there any way to stop the second move, Hwayang?

While Jinmu was smiling grimly inwardly, the emperor took a breath and spoke to the King, not to Jinmu.

“Young King.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Do you still insist on poisoning?”

“…”

“I am not aware that you used poisoning as an excuse to doubt the noblewoman. If the author uncovered again what left scars on my heart because the certificate was already missing, then it would be okay to assume that you and the person named Jinmu are of the same mind, right?”

The Emperor’s eyes were fierce as he looked at the King, and his tone was as sharp as a knife.

“You should have brought a plausible certificate this time. Clear evidence that the princes…the children were poisoned.”

At the emperor’s bluff, King Yeong stood up with a firm expression, approached Jinmu, and lay down on his face.

“your majesty.”

“…”

“I am the half-brother of His Majesty by personal beliefs, and the uncle to the princes. As a member of the imperial family, how could I do something like this without even proof?”

“That’s something to check from now on.”

“…”

The emperor’s gaze shifted from King Young to Jinmu.

“Jinmu.”

“….”

“Do you know the old saying that there is no humor in the crowd?”

How can you not know?

It was the word that Gong Myung promised to offer 100,000 arrows to Zhou Yu long ago, and it was also the reason for cutting the head of the loyalist Ma Sok.

The emperor is now demanding that if his words are false, he must pay the price for harassing him.

Daejeon became calm as if cold water had been poured on it.

The people who filled the room listened intently to Jinmu, even holding their breath.

Okay, I’ll pay you the price.

Jinmu sighed and looked directly at the emperor and said.

“I will hang myself.”
