Surviving the Romance Fantasy

In reality, no military force was needed to capture Wolgwi Yoran. I just wanted to leave it as evidence.

It was clear evidence that scholar Shim Sang-gon knew in advance that Yuegui Yoran would appear at Cheongdo Palace.

‘This guy…!’

Only then did the scholar realize.

The reason why Seol Taepyeong received this document before the coup was made was to ensure that there would be no place for his disciples to run away if they caught him for not knowing.

This document should have been a weakness of Xue Taiping, not a weakness of the scholar-officials.

On the surface, it met Seoltaepyeong’s requirements, but in fact, this document served as a leash to tie Seoltaepyeong.

This document, which proves that there was some kind of contact between scholar Sim Sang-gon and Seol Tae-pyeong, also proves the fact that Seol Tae-pyeong was not a clean person.

In order to treat someone the way you want, it is better to leave dirty dirt on them.

If there was evidence that some kind of transaction took place between Sim Sang-gon and Seol Tae-pyeong, he could have put a leash on Sim Sang-gon so that he could not betray him.

However, the premise makes the intention meaningless. There was the biggest part that Sim Sang-gon missed.

“This is what I ordered. “I had to find out if the civil servant knew about Yue Gui Yao Lan.”

It is the existence of Ahyeon, the princess of Cheondo.

The justification is that the move was made under orders from a person with more authority than scholar Sim Sang-gon.

If you hold on to that cause, the leash that your disciple puts on you will have no meaning.

“The words of scholar Shim Sang-gon who say he did not know about the Yue Gui Rebellion are false.”

The atmosphere in the throne room became even heavier. The scholar’s body was shaking and his eyesight seemed to be going dark.

Black Moon Captain Cheong Jin-myeong confessed that his employer was a scholar.

Additionally, he even proved his innocence by not cutting Prince Hyeonwon at a critical moment.

Saying that I didn’t know about the Wolgui incident also turned out to be a lie.

“Black Moon Captain Cheong Jin-myeong, raise your head.”

Additionally, circumstantial evidence keeps popping up like potato roots.

Hearing Princess Ahyeon’s words, Black Moon Captain Cheong Jinmyeong raised his head and immediately opened his eyes.

“You said you went undercover as an engraver in the Suhakjeon Hall to monitor the situation within the palace.”

“Yes that’s right.”

“In that case… I think he will answer if we call in the head of the math exhibition and ask him who recommended the engraver for the position.”

This is scholar Sim Sang-gon.

Of course, it can be said that this is also because Black Moon Captain Cheong Jin-myeong used a trick to deceive him.

However, the worries that are gradually accumulating one by one have already grown too much.

“Learner Sim Sang-gon, raise your head.”

“Your Majesty…”

Emperor Yunsheng suddenly looked up, and his gaze turned cold.

“This… something is wrong with this! Please, please take away your doubts about me! All of this was done to push that cruel Tongseokjang away from me…!”

“You don’t refute it, you just keep repeating no.”

Emperor Unseong’s words took Sim Sang-gon’s breath away.

It felt like a net spread out in several layers was constricting my entire body.

The reason he was able to deny all of this despite numerous layers of circumstantial evidence was because his authority as a scholar was still intact.

No matter how many layers of guilt there are, as long as you have the position of a disciple who has served for 40 years, you cannot easily be held responsible.

however…

“your majesty. Academician Sim Sang-gon is a rebel who wanted to point a sword at His Majesty the Crown Prince.”

Even the last remaining shield of authority became useless due to the visit of Princess Cheondo-

The ending of scholar Sim Sang-gon was decided.

Eventually, Emperor Unseong, who had been suffering with his eyes closed for a long time, raised his head and said.

“Put the scholar in prison. “If you cannot make a proper excuse, you will not be able to avoid the death penalty.”

“your majesty…! How…! How can you do this to me…! your majesty!”

“I don’t want to hear it.”

The entire throne room seemed to freeze under Emperor Unseong’s cold gaze.

The military officers of the Red Palace who came through the crowd tried to pull Mun Ha Gwan away, but Mun Ha Gwan struggled and shouted at the officers.

“You bastard! Why are you guys trying to capture me! I am a scholar who devoted 40 years to this Cheongdo Palace! It can’t be like this… It can’t be like this…!”

Although he tried to shake off the arms of the military officers and struggle, he had no choice but to be miserably dragged out of the throne room.

Watching the scholar being taken away screaming like that… the dignitaries in the throne room broke into a cold sweat.

Scholar Sim Sang-gon.

One of the three royal halls of Cheongdo Palace seemed to be disappearing into the backwaters of history.

As Sim Sang-gon was being dragged away by the soldiers, he looked at Princess Ahyeon as if he could not believe all of this.

The corners of Princess Ahyeon’s mouth, who was watching the situation behind her sleeves, turned up.

Looking at that… Sim Sang-gon had to feel goosebumps as if the skin on his entire body was turning inside out.

After Sim Sang-gon, a scholar, was captured, it took a long time to sort out the situation.

When the internal chaos had been resolved to some extent, Emperor Unseong summoned Seol Taepyeong to the throne room.

“Tongseokjang Seoltaepyeong, stop by.”

Xue Taiping went to Emperor Yunsheng, knelt down, and bowed his head.

“Your loyalty and merit are truly great, as you helped protect Princess Cheondo from Wolgwi and found the traitorous island in the world.”

Seeing Xue Taiping bowing his head, Emperor Yunseong quietly praised him for his merits.

The numerous dignitaries gathered in the throne room swallowed their saliva and watched the situation.

“It would be right to properly praise your merits after I have sorted out my situation. From the looks of it, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to judge your merits now.”

Jeong 5th grade Tongseokjang. He is an incredibly high-ranking official at the age of just becoming an adult, and he also holds the position of lord, who even manages the household.

He was a person who seemed to be testing to see how far he could achieve success at such a young age, and he probably expected that he would continue to progress slowly from this point on.

However, Emperor Yunseong praised Xue Taiping’s achievements more highly than expected.

“I heard that there are a lot of vacancies in the positions of military attachés at the main palace, and that there is a shortage of talent. I have taken this opportunity to confirm your loyalty to the Emperor, so I would like to honor that loyalty and give you the opportunity to gain further experience. From what I heard, he is also excellent at martial arts, so he must not be lacking in ability.”

Emperor Yunseong swept the end of his heavenly dragon cloth and spoke in a solemn voice.

“You will be appointed to the position of Hyeongwoljang (炯月將), 3rd rank servant, so refine yourself and train yourself endlessly so that you can become a general who contributes to the country of Qingdao.”

Hyeongwoljang, 3rd class bell.

The success of a military officer who will soon become a general. It was a place that symbolized the beginning.

It was a place that symbolized the beginning of joining the ranks of ‘high-ranking officials’, with numerous civil servants and merchants lining up.

No matter how capable one is, it is a rank that can only be attained by an elderly person.

Seol Taepyeong’s teacher, Baekseon Lee Cheol-un, was of the third rank. Considering that he was in the position right below him, it was an incredibly high position for someone of his age.

“I am devastated.”

Seol Taiping bowed his head and accepted the emperor’s favor.

He was only nineteen.

‘it’s okay…!!!’

Princess Ahyeon, who was watching the situation, was inwardly delighted.

Finally, Seol Taepyeong was elevated to a position just below the rank of general. It felt like everything was going smoothly as I wanted.

‘Now that we have developed the territory of the active room and can command the Black Moon, there will be very few people even within the Cheongdo Palace who will be able to treat Taepyeong carelessly!’

The plan to make Seol Taepyeong a monarch is progressing well, and he is already a third-class servant.

The goal is to become a 1st rank general. This was the spot where Seong Sa-wook was currently sitting.

At that point, you will be able to sit in a position where you can use the entire Cheongdo Palace army when the Yeokdeunggwi appears.

I wanted to hug Seol Taepyeong and spin him around, but I couldn’t because there were too many people watching.

In fact, even if no one is watching, you won’t be able to lift Seol Taepyeong’s strong body… but that’s how it feels.

‘Okay.. now all I have to do is finish the job…!’

It was a moment when I clenched my fists and steeled myself.

– Tuk

“…?”

A strange, brief sound like something exploding was heard.

“…”

Disaster always comes suddenly like a thunderbolt, so no matter how happy the moment may be, we must not let our guard down.

“…!!!!!!!”

The waist band that held the hem of the skirt in place burst.

I tried to gain strength by taking care of my body through regular exercise and diet, but…

Even so, despite the maids’ dissuasion to look more stylish, wearing tight clothes… may have been too much of an attempt.

I succeeded in coping by momentarily pressing my arms tightly, but while standing in that awkward posture, cold sweat suddenly broke out.

It’s a crisis. It is a desperate crisis.

‘Die…’

The color began to drain from Princess Ahyeon’s complexion.

‘I’m really dying…! My… my authority is dying…!’

In front of Seol Taepyeong, Princess Ahyeon was not an authority figure… but in front of numerous high-ranking officials, the story was different.

If your authority as the Princess of Cheondo dies, this is absolutely not possible!

Before the reverse return, blah blah blah… I die as a woman…!

Princess Ahyeon swallowed dry saliva and had to somehow manage her contemplative expression.

‘It’s really varied, Yeonri…’

Seol Taepyeong, who was bowing his head in front, was washing his face dry.

With his sharp senses, he could easily sense that Princess Ahyeon was in a desperate crisis…

There was nothing I could do right away…

hometown (5)

Is there anything that needs to be protected?

As you live, you will find something you want to protect without even realizing it, and you will want to hold it tightly in your arms, even if it means sacrificing your life.

For some, it is faith, for others, it is love, and for others, it is family, close friends, teachers, and people.

Among people who live with such different things, people are always tested.

In order to protect it, you had to risk something, and if you couldn’t protect it, you had to cry over the loss.

And if you keep it that way, life is to live as you have kept it, and if you cannot keep it, live it as you did not keep it…

‘My authority… dies…’

Princess Ahyeon… had to protect her authority…

“I will leave the interrogation of scholar Sim Sang-gon to the military commander of the enemy palace. “Allow the deputy general to join the enemy palace and make sure things are handled well.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

I try to hold my breath and put pressure on my elbows to press the loosened waistline, but there is a limit to this last resort.

However, you can’t flip up your skirt in a place where many high-ranking officials are gathered, and you can’t honestly report the situation and walk out with a limp…

You vile world.

No matter how much he has Seoltaepyeong, his ally like a thousand demons, even he can’t do anything about it.

“Hyeongwoljang Seol Taepyeong should actively participate in the investigation of the enemy palace so that the mistakes of the civil servants can be made clear. “And I will personally praise those who contributed to protecting Prince Hyeonwon’s life, so please bring them to the main palace.”

Through this incident, Seol-ran rises to a position almost equivalent to that of a high-ranking maid, thanks to her contribution in saving Prince Hyeon-won’s life.

In addition, she gains trust as a person who will never harm Prince Hyeonwon, and she takes on the role of not only Cheonryongchae but also a maid in the crown prince’s palace… so she is on the road to becoming a princess of Cheondo in earnest.

It was a situation where she had to say, “This is such a ramp,” but Princess Ahyeon’s thoughts couldn’t reach that point.

This is because the skirt width went down one step.

At that moment, the expression on the face of the head maid Lee Ryeong, who was bowing her head behind her, suddenly hardened.

This talented head maid instantly realized what kind of crisis her master was in…

There was nothing I could do… nothing!

Even so, the Emperor is speaking directly, and a mere head maid cannot intervene in this situation…

I’m just breaking out in a cold sweat.

“Also, have Bookmaster Hwaan and Senior Secretary In Seon-rok select someone to serve as Academic Officer instead of Sim Sang-gon and make a recommendation to me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

With political affairs being handled in such a solemn situation, who in the world could interrupt the emperor’s words and intervene…

However, the time of death comes, step by step. Princess Ahyeon’s skirt, who wants freedom, will rebel against this unreasonable world and set out to find her own way out if she tries to restrain herself any longer…

“And lastly, Princess Ahyeon. I heard that you were in danger of your life due to this Wolgui incident. “There must have been no panic, so I came all the way to the main palace to check on the situation.”

“Wow… I feel dizzy…”

– Clap flutter

In the end, there was only one option for Princess Ahyeon.

Princess Cheondo, a sickly girl, eventually collapsed from dizziness, unable to overcome the fatigue of a long outing… There was no other way out than to direct the play.

“Princess!”

“Go.. Princess..! damn! “Call the congressman!”

The dignitaries who recognized the seriousness of the situation quickly stood up.

General-level officials also stood up to check on the princess’s condition, but the first to react was the head maid, Lee Ryeong, who was waiting behind her.

“Che, the maids of Tianlongchae will handle it! Uh, hurry up and move!”

The maids who received instructions from the head maid, Yi-ryeong, entered the Ururu throne room and helped Princess Ahyeon, who had fallen.

Meanwhile, Chief Maid Lee Ryeong quickly grabbed Princess Ahyeon’s waist and tightened his hands.

Seol Taepyeong sighed in relief as he watched Princess Ahyeon being carried away with her eyes tightly closed.

please. Do your best, Yeonri.

As he watched Princess Ahyeon being carried away with a look of pain on her face, Seol Taepyeong had no choice but to have such a monologue.

“…Hyeongwoljang Seoltaepyeong.”

After the meeting, the old bookman Hwaan returned to his room and repeated the name several times.

At the age of just becoming an adult, he had already become a military officer with the rank of 3rd grade servant, so he was a talented person who had a high possibility of being one of the influential figures in the Cheongdo Palace until the day Hwaan died.

I knew that a military officer named Seol Tae-pyeong had outstanding skills for his age, but I never imagined that he would rise to the top so quickly.

Trickster Hwaan, who was sitting on the wooden table and shaking his head for a while to organize his thoughts, took out several bamboo sticks and spread them out.

‘…They caught that guy Sim Sang-gon in jail before I could even move.’

Trickster Hwaan knew that the person behind Blackwoldae was Sim Sanggon.

I was just wondering how to use that fact to gain greater political advantage.

If possible, he planned to send In Seon-rok, a scholar-in-chief, who was constantly eating away at his power, but the plan could not be implemented because Seol Tae-pyeong took the initiative and sent away the scholar-official.

‘Is he born with courage? He didn’t seem to be intimidated at all even in front of his boss. I wonder if he’s fearless… or reckless…’

What is certain is that he has some kind of connection with Princess Ahyeon of Cheondo.

Because Sim Sang-gon, a scholar, failed to delve into that part clearly, he was eventually stabbed in the back and disappeared into the political arena of Cheongdo Palace.

If you think about it, during a party meeting a few years ago, Princess Ahyeon wrote a petition for the military officer, and when the military officer first entered the palace, she did something to prevent him from being executed.

It was hard to remember everything because it was all so long ago, but after digging through the records, I was able to find it somehow.

‘Is this Hyeongwoljang under the protection of Cheonryongchae… I need to find out more. Come to think of it, was the secretary of the brother-in-law who was newly appointed to a position in the main palace from the same Baekseon Palace?’

From Noble mtl dot com

Trickster Hwaan looked through the directory and collected information about Seol Taepyeong.

Among them, the name of a rather useful person caught my eye.

The secretary of the brother-in-law’s office.

It was a man named Wang Han.

*

There was a crisis in which Princess Ahyeon’s authority almost fell to the ground forever… but the rest of the matters were handled well at the party meeting.

The investigation into Sim Sang-gon, a scholar, proceeded quickly, and it did not take long before he disappeared into the dew of execution.

He did not give up until the day he was executed and insisted on his innocence, but the world did not listen to Sim Sang-gon.

Picking up a sword against the Emperor at this Cheongdo Palace was a high treason against the world for which not only he himself but also his relatives had to bear the weight of it.

In this way, the name of scholar Sim Sang-gon disappears from the history of Cheongdo Palace.

Before the return ghost descends.
