SYNOPSIS OF THE GREAT QUEEN SEON DEOK 선덕여왕 EPISODE 26
In the cave Kim Yu Shin question her reasons & her true intention. Deok Man answer it coldly
Deok Man: The throne….. I will become Silla’s sovereign ruler, in the exact same method on how Mi Shil took & obtain this country…therefore I need to have Abbot Wyol Cheon for this…this is the only method that I can regain my rightful status…in the exact same way as Mi Shil had done hers, that is the way to go about it….in order to do so, we must get Wyol Cheon
Everybody is surprise at Deok Man’s intention.
In Hwa Deok temple, Wyol Ya & his men are during a recce for tonight’s attack when Mi Shil’s palanquin comes to Hwa Deok temple for a visit. Seo Ji said that the palanquin comes from the palace & as what they suppose to do about it. Wyol Ya adopts a wait & see on the situation. Mi Shil & Mi Saeng greets Abbot Wyol Cheon as he invites them to sit. Mi Shil thanked Abbot Wyol Cheon for his tremendous effort. Abbot Wyol Cheon tell on the progress for So Hwa had being difficult as So Hwa emotional scars are more serious that he had perceive it to be, hence the slow progress in recovery & will require more time in treating. Mi Shil said that her visit to the temple is not to discuss about So Hwa. Abbot Wyol Cheon is surprise. Mi Shil wants to know when is the next solar eclipse going to occur. Abbot Wyol Cheon tell that Mi Shil’s request is preposterous. Mi Saeng said that this is a dire request. Mi Shil asked whether there will one soon
There was a recent solar eclipse that happened on July 22nd when Queen Seok Deok was broadcast, looking through the event of the eclipse one thinks that it is Mi Shil’s doing with the help of Abbot Wyol Cheon. It was said to be the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century & will not be surpass until the solar eclipse in June 2132.
Wyol Cheon said that he is a man of (Kyeok Mul) of mathematic & science that believes in standard formulation& theory of mathematic. He is not a soothsayer to predict whether there is going to be one soon. Mi Shil knows that Abbot Wyol Cheon had mentioned about it. But Abbot Wyol Cheon said that even if it so, it is difficult in calculating the formulation for the solar eclipse, even for him to comprehend. But however if they obtain a copy of the Cheong Gwang Ryeol there is perhaps a chance to apply some calculation of formulation on it
Kyeok Mul is standard of formulation. In ancient time, most mathematician do hold the post of astronomers, people such as Newton that did works that is associated with physics. It seems that Wyol Cheon is a person of religious order that devoted his time to his religion but more a Scientist cum mathematician that is interested in science is a form of epistemology that, like any good epistemology, attempts to distinguish true statements from false statements thereby leading to an accumulation of knowledge.
Jeong Gwang Ryeol or Zheng Guang li is a calendric system that is from the Northern Wei period (386-534) that based its calculation on the solar lunar system. It is based on the Gua Qi theory system which later Tang Dynasty adopted in theirs. I have explained in my summary in Episode 6. For further reading please see http://zhouyi.sdu.edu.cn/english0/yiology/sub1/ZhangLiwen070513.asp
Mi Saeng understands that Jeong Gwang Ryeol is less accurate than Dae Myeong Ryeol. Abbot Wyol Cheon confirm that it is true but however the in terms of the calculation of the solar movement of the earth rotation Jeong Gwang Ryeol is far superior in its accuracy than Dae Myeong Ryeol in terms of its deviate of days. Mi Shil hears for the 1st time about Jeong Gwang Ryeol
Deok Man explained that the people of this nation believe & faith in myths & supernatural demi-gods. Mi Shil is able to read this well & seize the opportunity to utilise on the matter for her own gain & power. Deok Man said that if that is not taken from her, then she will not fall to grace, even they gain control of the military & the Hwa Baek Council, the situation will not change. This is because Mi Shil power of authority is bestow to her by the faith of the citizen to her. Therefore they must 1st bring down Mi Shil reputation as the Keeper of the seals & all the myths that surrounds her, so the 1st step to her descent is that Mi Shil must 1st lose the usage of Abbot Wyol Cheon.
Here you can see that Deok Man has the usage of her wisdom bidding against Mi Shil’s manipulating intelligence
Deok Man asked Kim Yu Shin to leave from her quest & carry on with his life of his choice. Deok Man said that she will not asked Kim Yu Shin to be with her, although she think that he should be involve with her. Kim Yu Shin asked for her reason. Deok Man asked that her path is going to start a revolution against this nation
Pae Do is the way of rebel against or turning renegade
Deok Man said that her sister Cheon Myeong wanted her to take the path of living her life as ordinary common folk in happiness but she decided to take a total opposite side of the scale & she doesn’t wish to venture this path with Kim Yu Shin by dragging him to this path. Kim Yu Shin asked whether Deok man will recollect her sister Cheon Myeong’s memories each time they look at each other that Deok Man is ridden with regret & guilt. Deok Man said that it is not only that but there is more. Deok Man said that each time she looks at Kim Yu Shin, she may not able to endure or withstand the emotion & her heart will want to willed itself to elope with Kim Yu Shin to a distance land in happiness. Each time she look at Kim Yu Shin, her heart will be tempted & flutter with feelings to do so that she wishes to depend on Kim Yu Shin for support & morale, she wishes to be an ordinary woman living her life in happiness & bliss. This is because Kim Yu Shin will always render that feeling to be that ordinary person she wishes to be but circumstances will not allow her. It is hard for a person to harbour those feeling & wants to start a revolution to her nation, it is only seen as a dead end in which she will not partake. Deok Man just wish to hold on to that thought in her heart that it is a litmus paper for her to be at least feel that she is human after all. If Kim Yu Shin were to stay that he is just a pawn in her big chess board that she will play & scheme, as for her she feel that it is too cruel for him & greatly sadden her if she needs make use of Kim Yu Shin as a pawn. Deok man begs Kim Yu Shin to give her up. Deok Man leave with a heavy heart
Deok man comes back & inform Al Cheon & Bi Dam that they will be heading to Hwa Deok temple to find out about Wyol Cheon. Nightfall at Hwa Deok temple, Mi Shil is seen leaving the temple in her palanquin after her visit with Wyol Cheon as Wyol Ya & his men is observing as Seo Ji said that it is the best time to strike since Mi Shil & her entourage is gone & only left the cadre to guard the premises. Wyol Ya asked them to execute their move & move in on the temple & take out the guards
Meanwhile Joo Bang awaken by the cries from outside then So Hwa & Go Do who could heard the racket outside & asked what is going on. Then suddenly all went silently quiet. Go Do look out the window because he is taller & shocked to see dead bodies spread outside. Seo Ji comes to Wyol Cheon chamber killing the last guards & put a blade on Wyol Cheon. It seems that they have a score to settle with Wyol Cheon. Wyol Ya comes in to reveal himself to Wyol Cheon & greets him t said that it had been a while since they had met
Meanwhile Go Do goes banging the door to asked someone to come save them when Joo Bang suggest that Go Do use his strength to break the door open since the guards are all dead & lying on the floor & there is no one alive or around. Go Do prepare himself to break the door & shoulder the door open with ease. Joo Bang encourage So Hwa to come follow them to safety & takes her along telling her that she will be fine. Bo Jong’s men comes to find that the temple is laid with corpses & goes to check it out. Joo Bang finds the keys to their handcuff & opens them as they are shocked in what they see outside with dead bodies lying massacre on the ground. Bo Jong’s men finds Joo Bang, So Hwa & Go Do fleeing from the scene & gave chase. So Hwa can’t keep up with the running & slowing down Joo Bang & Go Do. So Hwa couldn’t run anymore as Joo Bang had to leave her out in the open to hide himself as So Hwa staggers along, one of Bo Jong’s men takes his bow & arrow & aim it at So Hwa where she get hit & fall & roll off from the slope. Then they realise they are not suppose to kill So Hwa
Deok Man’s fraction comes to Hwa Deok temple to find that they are a little too late from the body counts on the ground. Then Deok Man enters Wyol Cheon’s chamber that had all the chart reading of the stars as Deok Man ran through the documents on his table. Bi Dam asked what are all this chart & writing as Deok man conform that this is Wyol Cheon’s chambers. Al Cheon notices a dagger stuck with a note pin on the post, as he unfolds it reveal the state emblem of the Gaya Confederacy the Yui Ran Gwi which mean the secret organisation Bo Gya Hoe as Al Cheon said that Gaya had already strike 1st. If Bo Gya Hoe had taken Wyol Cheon, the next on their list might be Kim Yu Shin’s family. While else Bi Dam is asking queries that he doesn’t get answer
Daegaya was a city-state in the Gaya Confederacy during the Korean 3 kingdoms period. Daegaya was located in present-day Goryeong County, in Gyeongsang Buk Province. Daegaya fell to the armies of Silla under General Kim Isabu in 562 AD; Silla, having already begun to absorb much of the Gaya confederacy, had invaded Daegaya as punishment for having allied with Baekje in 554. Daegaya was the last Gaya Confederacy to fall
Mi Shil is informs by Bo Jong that Wyol Cheon had been taken & is missing. It is the doing of Bo Gya Hoe as they had left the symbol of the Gaya Confederacy state emblem in Hwa Deok temple. If Bo Ga Hoe had kidnap Wyol Cheon, what else they might do. Mi Saeng asked about So Hwa. Bo Jong informs that they attempted to escape but Joo Bang & Go Do whereabouts is unknown as for So Hwa is capture but is injure so her wounds are being treated now. Mi Saeng said that Bo Ga Hoe is messing up their plans with their interference & asked whether they should bring down Bo Ga Hoe once & for all. Mi Shil wants to dispatch their cell group to look in to the matter.
Yuk Ran Gwi is the state emblem according to a legend recorded in the Samguk Yusa, in the year 42, 6 eggs descended from the heaven with message that they would be kings. Six boys were born, and within 12 days they grew mature. One of them, named Suro, became the king of Geumgwan Gaya, and the other five founded the other five Gayas, namely Daegaya, Seongsan Gaya, Ara Gaya, Goryeong Gaya & Sogaya. So the representation that the symbol that look like a turtle holding 6 eggs within it symbolise the 6 Gayas. Wyol Ya belongs to Daegaya, while Kim Yu Shin’s family comes from Geumgwan Gaya
Se Jong is told by his son that Seo Ri had died. Seo Ri’s death had been death away in secrecy & the emerging of Bo Gya Hoe to the scene & had kidnap Wyol Cheon as ha Jong added that his mother has order to search Wyol Cheon at all cost. Ha Jong think that Wyol Cheon is an important person to Mi Shil to order such frenzy search for him. Se Jong said that Seo Ri is an important ally in their authority in Royal celestial Shrine for them, Se Jong suspect something must have gone a miss. Ha Jong said that the palace is too quiet for Ha Jong’s comfort that he is feeling anxious of the no comments situation from the palace. Se Jong said that no one will take lead in this matter of issue. Ha Jong on what issue, Se Jong tells his son that the palace now don’t have a heir apparent to succeed the throne. Se Jong thinks that this is a golden opportunity to force the issue. Ha Jong concurs but doesn’t know what his mother is thinking about. Se Jong said that he will not sit here & wait idle, they will make the 1st move
King Jinpyeong is informs by Queen Maya that Deok Man appear in the palace. Queen Maya made the arrangement to meet with her at the Royal Celestial Shrine at her request. King Jinpyeong asked why did she do that & what if she was caught then. Queen Maya who had better courage & gut after her illness tells that she trust Deok Man reason & judgement & that why she is helping her daughter in her quest. King Jinpyeong said that the problem lies in that reason itself that they can’t estimate or anticipate what she is trying to do next & whatever she is trying may end up just nil & void in her attempts. If she wants to reinstate her status as Royal Princess then they must reveal the existing of the twin birth 7 the implication of the prophesy. Queen Maya tells that she is a mother who had lost 3 sons & a daughter & she will not lose her only child if she can help it
Kim Seo Hyeon said that Deok Man is going about that will bring risk to the Royal Household in her persistence. Kim Ying Chu informs with regret to King Jinpyeong that after Princess Cheon Myeong’s passing that they are malicious rumours in the streets that public sentiment is stir up in turbulence & crimes are rampant. This is also the doing Bo Gya Hoe. King Jinpyeong asked what with Bo Gya Hoe as Kim Seo Hyeon bring out the state emblem of Yuk Ran Gwi & said that this is a letter from Bo Gya Hoe. King Jinpyeong know that this is the backlash of the expulsion of Gaya to Samyang ju, this is all his fault & his sins are great & massive
Kim Seo Hyeon comes home to find Kim Yu Shin at the gate of the house. Kim Yu Shin greet his father. Kim Seo Hyeon asked how is his well being that he didn’t come to any harm. Kim Yu Shin said that he is fine as Kim Seo Hyeon asked what has happened to Deok Man. Kim Yu Shin address with protocol to Deok Man as Her Highness. Kim Seo Hyeon doesn’t acknowledge Deok Man as Royal princess. Kim Seo Hyeon doesn’t want to hear another word about Deok Man. Kim Yu Shin said that Deok Man will return to her rightful status & will hope that the masses consent & acknowledge her return. Kim Seo Hyeon is shocked whether that can be accomplished. If she wants acknowledgement that she must also reveal & accept the existence of the twin. If this is disclose then it will spell the end for Queen Maya & Deok Man herself, Kim Se Hyeon question how can Deok Man be acknowledge as Royal Princess with those odds against her, there is no other way or method to over write the matter. Logic can’t supersede inevitable impossible, stream down flow upwards, trees can break rocks, the sun don’t rise from the west. This is an accepted fact & they can’t go against the course of nature
Kim Seo Hyeon tells that his family is now at risk. Kim Seo Hyeon takes out a letter & asked Kim Yu Shin to read it. Kim Yu Shin unfolds the letter to reveal the Yuk Ran Gwi, state emblem of the Gaya confederacy. Kim Yu Shin tells his son that they are now target for Bo Gya Hoe. Kim Yu Shin asked why the family is being target as Kim Seo Hyeon explained it for the retaliation for the expulsion of Gaya citizen from Seorabeol & place in exile at Samyang Ju. As of now Bo Gya Hoe now sees Kim Seo Hyeon’s family as nemesis, it is spell great danger & risk for the people of Gaya in Silla as they will have internal conflict among themselves & will lose the stronghold bases & their existence in Silla. In this sire moment of crisis, being control by personal & emotion feelings & don’t have the slightest concern about the welfare of the family is deem foolish on Kim Yu Shin’s part. Kim Yu Shin leaves
Kim Yu Shin goes up to his favour mountain to go whacking at his boulder. As he train & whacks all day long at the boulder for composure that he determined to proof his father is wrong. Deok Man looks at him at the distance seeing Kim Yu Shin whacking his wooden sword on his boulder & replacing with a new wooden sword as the previous splint open & breaks. Deok Man tells Kim Yu Shin to endure his emotion & not break down & he is sure to survive this ordeal. After many splinter wooden swords later, Kim Yu Shin admits that his father is right that if the acknowledgement of the twin birth is not consider then Deok Man will not regain his Princess’s status even if he was to turn away from his family, there is no way Kim Yu Shin can help her & there is no method of way, as he turn away from the boulder, the boulder split into 2; giving rise to divinity sign that there is a method. Kim Yu Shin goes back to inspect the boulder that was is impossible is not in reality fact possible.
Princess Man Myeong is surprise that Kim Seo Hyeon send their son away with sarcasm. Kim Seo Hyeon said he had no choice that he wanted Kim Yu Shin to regain his sense of focus. Kim Yu Shin comes to see his parents & kneels before his parent. Kim Yu Shin said that his father is correct in what he had said that their family is facing grave danger but however what are they going to do about it. Should they destroy Bo Gya Hoe who is in the midst that they are seen as a threat to their existence that they must annihilate them totally then after they had to face the fury of resentment from Gaya people who were expel from Seorabeol. Kim Seo Hyeon ask his son what is he trying to imply. Kim Yu Shin said that because they are the head of the Gaya stronghold, King Jinpyeong really needs their strength that even Mi Shil wants to persuade them to defect to her side. However if they were to lose their stronghold that it will be the end of their family as they will be nobody. Kim Seo Hyeon asked what his son is suggesting. Kim Yu Shin said they need to pawn & gamble all in a stake. The stake that they need to laid the gamble on is on Kim Yu Shin himself. Kim Yu Shin pleas with his parents to gamble their trust in him. Kim Yu Shin leaves as Princess Man Myeong is concern what their son intend to do.
Kim Seo Hyeon said that they had laid everything they has on the stakes, they just need to put trust in their son. Suddenly an arrow is shot pass Kim Seo Hyeon as the assailant runs off. Kim Yu Shin gave chase. There is a message on the arrow.
Arrow: Must killed Kim Seo Hyeon & Kim Yu Shin.
Kim Yu Shin block the path of the escaping assailant & asked to identify himself but the assailant draw his swords but Kim Yu Shin succumb him & asked whether he is from Bo Gya Hoe, then there is more to come as one of them asked Kim Yu Shin that he can’t survive this by holding one of them hostage, he will be killed anyhow. Kim Yu Shin pushes the assailant away & said he does need hostage to defend himself & urges the other to come & clash with him. Bo Gya Hoe goes into formation but get whack by Kim Yu Shin & point the blade at the leader who asked Kim Yu Shin to finish him off. Kim Yu Shin uses the back of his blade to strike them down, showing that he had offer them mercy. The leader of the assailant asked what does he wants to do. Kim Yu Shin asked them to bring him to their hideout as it need to do a parley with their Master & demand that they follow his instruction. Kim Yu Shin said that he is the 2nd descendant of General Kim Mul Yeop that he is Kim Yu Shin who they said they must killed, what are they hesitating there. They take Kim Yu Shin blindfolded & tied up to Bo Gya Hoe’s stronghold
Seo Ji tells Wyol Ya that Kim Seo Hyeon gain the respectable & revered trust of the Gaya people because of his promise that he can protect the welfare of the Gaya people. Seo Ji asked why during the war with Baekje, that they allow Kim Seo Hyeon to live.
So the truth is out that during the war it was Bo Gya Hoe that came to the assistance of Kim Seo Hyeon during when he was surrounded by Baekje army & has a narrow escape, it is because of that promise, & now it is consider void as he can’t fulfilled that promise to the people of Gaya & had them expelled to Samyang ju & countless are dying in the struggle. Kim Seo Hyeon didn’t do anything about the matter, so he had gone back on his promise. Wyol Ya asked what Seo Ji suggest, Seo Ji want to do battle with Silla with the army they have. They must 1st killed the son of Kim Seo Hyeon, Kim Yu Shin. Then one of the men informs that Kim Yu Shin is here in their camp out of his own free will. Wyol Cheon wonder what the purpose of the visit. Meanwhile Se Jong had people paste bulletin about the existence of the twin birth. The bulletin paster bangs into Joo Bang & Go Do as they plea for their life in fright but find that they got scare out of nothing. Joo Bang mumbles about So Hwa, what has happened to her. Go Do said how are they going to face Deok Man over the death of So Hwa. Joo Bang asked whether did So Hwa indeed had been killed or is she alive. Go Do doesn’t know what to think as he cries that they shouldn’t have left So Hwa behind like that. Then Joo Bang asked Go Do not to be sad & goes to read the bulletin the get a shock from reading it.
The next morning, people crowd around the bulletin board to read the bulletin about 20 years ago, Queen Maya borne a pair of twin girls, it is because she born the twin the seed of male Seonggol will vanish & calamity will befall on Silla. The deceased Princess Cheon Myeong’s younger twin is in Seorabeol. Therefore the bulletin asked for the ousting of Queen Maya. Then the palace guards came to strip the bulletin away. King Jinpyeong read the bulletin & asked Kim Yong Chu what is going on here. Kim Yong Chu had order the palace guard to strip all posted bulletin from the wall in the street but there are many had been posted & pasted. King Jinpyeong demands to know who is the culprits behind this bulletin. Kim Yong Chu said that they are still investigating the matter but he can assume that Mi Shil had a hand in this matter.
King Jinpyeong asked didn’t they to a conclusion of mutual interest to end this once & for all & never to bring this matter up. Then if it is not Mi Shil’s then who else may it be. King Jinpyeong wonder whether if it is Deok Man’s doing. Kim Yong Chu mentioned Deok Man as the younger Princess as King Jinpyeong reprimand Kim Yong Chu to be careful with his speech. King Jinpyeong asked whether Deok Man wants to pull the whole Royal Household down with one death spiral as they had abandon her & now she is seeking revenge on them
Bo Jong takes the bulletin to showed it to Mi Shil. Obviously she isn’t too pleased. Seo Won Rang asked how many of these bulletins have been posted. Bo Jong informs that the palace guards are removing with quick pace but it will not stop the people from gossiping. Se Jong said shouldn’t that be a good idea in their favour. Ha Jong said although they had agree to let the matter rest but it already been spread to the people there is nothing they can do about the matter. Mi Shil & Seol Won Rang looks at Ha Jong & suspect that is their doing. Ha Jong asked why are they staring at him. Se Jong concurs with Ha Jong that once this is out, there need to appease the rumours. Seol Won Rang said that they need threading on this issue carefully, although it is seen in our favour but they must wary if that should have any side effect back lashes that they can’t control
Ha Jong asked how we can keep surveillance on the people’s activities day & night that they need to 1st make their move, & that fall under Seol Won Rang jurisdiction & he needs to settle that. Ha Jong asked why Mi Shil is glaring at him. MI Shil said nothing, Se Jong & Ha Jong triumph from their bulletin. Se Jong said that he can’t let go on the issue of the twin birth. Once Cheon Myeong’s sympathy is over & dies down, the issue of the twins will emerge again, in then they will lodge another inquiry. They must depose the Queen who borne the twins, with that argument, they can force King Jinpyeong to conceit defeat that he had hidden the birth. Se Jong asked Ha Jong to keep between the father & son. Ha Jong promise that the matter with the bulletin is bomb proof & no one will know
Bo Jong asked his father who is so daring to post those bulletins; wouldn’t it by chance be Deok Man. Seol Won Rang answer that it is Ha Jong’s doing. Seol Won Rang could analyze that Ha Jong is impatient for his father who could smell the seat to the throne. Bo Jong said that this was done without Mi Shil’s knowledge or orders & asked whether they need to report this to Mi Shil. Seol Won Rang said that Mi Shil already have knowledge about it. Bo Jong asked why didn’t Mi Shil say anything. Seol Won Rang said that they method that Ha Jong went about it isn’t a bad idea after all, but it is under her intelligence, so she didn’t make any comments. Seol Won Rang advices that they will adopt a wait & see as this method usually come with some side effects & may have dire consequences. If it should happened then all responsibilities will fall on the hand of Se Jong. Bo Jong admires her parents intelligence. Seol Won Rang said that he is not intelligence but he is well verse in reading Mi Shil’s expression. Seol Won Rang said that Mi Shil had surpass herself even during the reign of King Jinheung, there is no one who can dare to fool Mi Shil
Bi Dam asked Deok Man what is Bo Gya Hoe as Al Cheon explains that after the fall of Gaya Confederacy a underground network name Bo Gya Hoe was established to tried to restore Gaya. Bi Dam asked why should they kidnap the Abbot Wyol Cheon. Al Cheon said that may be they are trying to seek revenge on those people from Gaya who collaborate with Silla & the fall of their nation or it could that he had close acquaintance with Mi Shil that they might want to get information from him. Bi Dam asked what are they suppose to d now. If they got there earlier, they will the ones who will kidnap Wyol Cheon. Deok man is thinking hard as Al Cheon asked what is she thinking so much about. Bi Dam said that they must find out where Bo Gya Hoe is in order to find that Wyol Cheon & asked her to give them instruction. Al Cheon reprimand Bi Dam for being rude as Deok Man is Royal Princess.
Bi Dam said she had a permission to abstain from protocol. Deok man puts out a question, if she wants Mi Shil, what will she do that how they should tune to their thoughts. Bi Dam is hearing Mi Shil for the 1st time. Deok Man said that Mi Shil is also desperate finding the whereabouts of Wyol Cheon, then what will she do. Al Cheon puts on his thinking cap. Meanwhile Kim Yu Shin is brought to see Seo Ji as Kim Yu Shin blind fold is taken off. Seo Ji asked whether he is Kim Yu Shin. Kim Yu Shin address himself as the 2nd descendant of General Kim Mul Yeop & Minister Kim Seo Hyeon’s son, Kim Yu Shin. Seo Ji said that they sent the Yuk Rang Gwi emblem to Kim Seo Hyeon as they name are listed in their death list. Kim Yu Shin said he know the fact as Seo Ji asked why he came here on his own accord
Kim Yu Shin wants to meet the leader of Bo Gya Hoe. Seo Ji claims that he is the leader of the organisation. Then Kim Yu Shin asked Seo Ji the name & in which section of the Gaya confederacy is he from. Seo Ji said that he has no rights to ask these questions. Kim Yu Shin said that if it so then he made a mistake in coming here as Kim Yu Shin came here to answer his own queries about them. Seo Ji thinks that Kim Yu Shin is arrogant in claiming his request that something never changed.
Seo Ji blames Kim Yu Shin’s family for playing up with Silla to end their nation’s existence by annexing Gaya in return for fame & glory & wealth. Seo Ji said that Kim Yu Shin promise to protect the people of Gaya but fall short of their promise hence the people of Gaya was ousted from their own lands & countless of men women & children dies because of that & even then they are now starving in some inhospitable place that they can cultivate the land. Kim Yu Shin said that it is law of nature that a defeat nation will obviously suffer to be trecherous of being persecuted. This upset Seo Ri who draw his sword on Kim Yu Shin.
Kim Yu Shin said that the failure of Gaya Confederacy is the Kings of the 6 states of Gaya can’t stand a unified stand, even after the fall of Gaya Confederacy the defeat people of the nation of Geumgwan Gaya & Daegaya continues to be logger heads therefore even with so many talents at hand, they can’t even gather in strength to withstand the opposition. Seo Ji blames that it is Geumgwan Gaya who gave Gaya Confederacy to Silla on a silver platter, it was Daegaya who fought to the last man. Geumgwan Gaya are the traitors. Daegaya fell to Silla in AD 554. Kim Yu Shin asked are they remaining Gaya going to perish by fighting each other in the name of revenge. Kim Yu Shin asked what will they achieve if they had killed him, his father, assassinate the whole Silla Royal Household then what will happened next, what will Seo Ji if Seo Ji was in the shoes of the Silla Ruler. The Silla King would immediate give order to cleanse Silla from Gaya by annihilate the whole population of Gaya from this earth & asked Seo Ji what he will do if he is the Silla King. Kim Yu Shin tell Seo Ji that what great opportunity for the Silla administration to get rid of their eyes sore of the Gaya people, what is so grand about Bo Gya Hoe when they are about to cause the death of all the population of their countrymen being slaughtered. Kim Yu Shin question whether they had the right to do that with the people of Gaya. Seo ji tells that if they continues at this present course, they will soon go extinct into the history books, anyhow they are going to die, so there is no choice
Kim Yu Shin recalls that during the war with Baekje, Deok Man demands Al Cheon & Kim Yu Shin to go find a way out of the perilous predicament as that is the sole responsible of being the leader & the captain of their people, that is why people like the cadre will render their loyalty to them. Kim Yu Shin repeats the same philosophy to Seo Ji that they need to go find a way, that is the responsible for leaders to do so for their people in order to gain loyalty of people of Gaya to Bo Gya Hoe. If they don’t have the confidence to render that to the people, it is best they step down & diminished their role as defender of the Gaya people. Seo ji is clearly upset as he tries to strike Kim Yu Shin down when Wyol Ya order him to stop & reveal himself to Kim Yu Shin
Wyol Ya asked whether Kim Yu Shin came here risking his life to preaches that philosophy to them that they are not fit or qualified to lead the people of Gaya. Kim Yu Shin asked for the identity of Wyol Ya. Seo Ji tells that Kim Yu Shin there is no need for him to know. Wyol Ya asked that Kim Yu Shin sign his own death warrant to come here to preach to them about this philosophy. This stake is a little to wager Kim Yu Shin’s life on that gamble. Kim Yu Shin said that if Wyol Ya wants to talk about wager then he must identify himself.
Wyol Ya shows his resume by telling that he is from Daegaya. Wyol Ya tells Kim Yu Shin that to know Wyol Ya’s identity will increase his chance to meet his death sooner, does he want to gamble his life in finding out Wyol Ya’s name. Kim Yu Shin said that if he didn’t stake his life on a wager, he wouldn’t have come here in the 1st place on his own accord. Wyol Ya introduce that he is from Dae Gaya’s Royal Family, the last Crown Prince of Dae Gaya; Crown Prince Wyol Gwang’s eldest son & rightful heir, his name is Wyol Ya & the actual leader of Bo Gya Hoe, so now Wyol Ya asked Kim Yu Shin to stake his wager as he already know Wyol Ya identity
Back to the brainstorming of what will Mi Shil do. Al Cheon said that Mi Shil will plant is spying cell network & probably have a collection of Wyol Cheon’s information of whereabouts. Deok Man contradict that Bo Gya Hoe is an underground network society, having a spying network will not be sufficient. Deok man said that Mi Shil need to use a quicker pace to get information. Bi dam said that he doesn’t know who Mi Shil is or have the slightest interest but if it was him, the fastest way for information gathering is that he will gather those wretched Gaya people & force the truth out of them, by killing them one by one until someone stomach the truth out of Wyol Cheon’s whereabouts. Bi Dam had Mi Shil’s ruthlessness. Al Cheon thinks it is absurd that Bi Dam is suggesting that they will go out & massacre the people of Gaya to press them for information. Bi Dam said that it is not them but Mi Shil might do it. Bi Dam complaint that La Cheon is cut from the same mould as Kim Yu Shin being go straight forward
Deok Man remember about the place Samyang Ju where the Gaya are placed after their expulsion. It is there they will find Wyol Cheon & they need to hurry to go there. Deok Man orders that they need to infiltrate & spy in Samyang Ju. Bi Dam is glad that Deok Man has given orders & went happily to execute the order. Meanwhile Kim Yu Shin stakes a document to Wyol Ya. It is the deed of his family entitled land Anyang Ju. Seo Ji picks it up & showed the deed to Wyol Ya. Wyol Ya reads it, as Kim Yu Shin explain that the land may not be vast but on this land the people of Gaya can able to live life & abide by their tradition. Seo Ji asked whether Kim Yu Shin is going to surrender this land to the people of Gaya. Kim Yu Shin said that this is all the land that is entitled to his family.
