SYNOPSIS THE GREAT QUEEN SEON DEOK EPISODE 55
Jong comes in to say that Ministry of Audit has arrest Kim Yu Shin. Queen Seon Deok asked what is he trying to just say there. Bo Jong inform that Kim Yu Shin was seen in the border of Baekje, so we arrest him on suspicious for spying. Queen Seon Deok is upset on labelling Kim Yu Shin for spying & what the hell is Bo Jong speaking in utterances
Kim Yong Chun queries that how can Kim Yu Shin be alleged to be in Baekje borders. Bo Jong said that Ministry of Audit was while doing a reconnaissance mission in Baekje border for information gathering then west Bi Sa plains they arrested Kim Yu Shin & brought him back to Seorabeol Ministry of Audit. Lord Jujin asked isn’t Kim Yu Shin being exile to Wu San Guk & asked what is happening here. Lord Sueulbu said that if this conformed to be true then resist Queen Seon Deok’s decree & absconded. Lord Jujin concurs that Kim Yu Shin has infiltrated & trespass into Baekje borders that will already lace suspicion that he is a spy, how this be not said.
Ga Ja is a spy or mole. Mole is a spy who operates from within an organization, especially a double agent operating against his or her own government from within its intelligence establishment
Kim Seo Hyeon defends his son in front of Queen Seon Deok that this isn’t possible. In the midst of this, there must be some misunderstanding. Lord Sueulbu said that Kim Yu Shin as the Supreme Commander absconded from his exile & trespass into Baekje border; this is certainly rises up undeniable suspicion of magnitude proportion. Lord Jujin said that this is seen as a treacherous offense for Kim Yu Shin. Queen Seon Deok cuts them abrupt to said that Kim Yu Shin was acting on her secret decree & it is her who send Kim Yu Shin to do the covet mission. The court is surprise that it was imperial order. Queen Seon Deok was the person who permitted Kim Yu Shin to go to Baekje on her orders & he is just following & expediting her imperial orders. Queen Seon Deok has always one step ahead of her court, this is why she is wise & cautious
Bi Dam surprise about Daeya fortress when Kim Yu Shin tells that Daeya fortress in now in dire risk of danger & they will be met with a siege offensive. Bi Dam said that Daeya fortress has also met with sieges numerous of time before in the past & it was never be overtaken even once. Bi Dam asked whether it was this intelligence gathering that Kim Yu Shin trespass Baekje borders. Bi Dam said that will he believe in Kim Yu Shin’s make up excuses & story. Kim Yu Shin emphasis that there is a mole in Daeya fortress & he will open the fortress gate. Bi Dam queries on a mole. Kim Yu Shin said that this mole is one of the soldier that is in charge of the defensive gates & it goes by the name of ‘Heuk” that person is…Bi Dam finished the sentence that he is the Baekje’s mole. Kim Yu Shin affirms it & tell Bi Dam there is no time to waste on petty issue, they need to hasten to find that mole before it is too late & increase the military. Bi Dam stop Kim Yu Shin to tell Kim Yu Shin that now he should put concern in to his own personal safety than the security of Daeya fortress but your life & survival. Bi dam said that he has absconded from his exile & trespass to into Baekje border, is this consider a charge in high treason
Yeom Jong comes calling on Bi Dam. Bi Dam asked what is the matter. Yeom Jong comes to whisper into Bi dam’s ear & Bi Dam express shock that it was Queen Seon Deok’s secret imperial decree. Mi Saeng gets the words that it was Queen Seon Deok’s secret imperial decree. Bo Jong affirms that Queen Seon Deok has issue secret imperial decree to Kim Yu Shin for him to do intelligence gathering in Baekje. Ha Jong said how can she send a person who has been exile to go for a covet mission of intelligence gathering, does this make any sense, if it is so, why exile Kim Yu Shin in the 1st place. Seol Won Rang said that Queen Seon Deok has admitted to has issue the secret imperial decree in front of her court therefore the charge of spying on Kim Yu Shin wouldn’t able to hold ground & that they will never able to argue over the matter. Mi Saeng asked how can the tables change on them so quickly. Ha Jong asked whether perhaps that Queen Seon Deok has all this while had been providing Kim Yu Shin her protection that she has done this intentionally. Bo Jong adds that in Baekje, Wyol & Seo ji were seen together with Kim Yu Shin. Mi Saeng said why didn’t Bo Jong bring this matter up. Ha Jong said that what with secret decree it is without doubt a clear cut charge of high treason. Seol Won rang agrees that Kim Yu Shin went to Baekje on a covet mission order by Queen Seon Deok but the decree didn’t cover the fact that Kim Yu Shin has engage the support of Wyol Ya. Bo Jong tells that Bi Dam didn’t permit him to report this to Queen Seon Deok. Ha Jong asked why as Bo Jong doesn’t know what the reason behinds his decision. Mi Saeng said if this matter were to have slip out that Queen Seon Deok would have entered into some risk on herself as Mi Saeng queries why
Kim Seo Hyeon giving a brief about the geography of Daeya fortress to Queen Seon Deok that they has built camp surrounding Daeya Fortress & in addition both at both at Gahye Fortress & Ji Bum Cheon county & deploy reinforcements troop to Mitasan Fortress in Cheon Ju.
Gahye Seong is formerly Jecheon in Chungcheong Province
Ji Bum Cheon is formerly Sancheong-gun Gyeongsangnamdo
Kim Seo Hyeon said that they are doing the deployment as swift possible to be ready for war. Queen Seon Deok said that according to Kim Yu Shin intelligence that the attack will be engage in 3 days but it will not prolong to the day the latest to launch the offensive, they need to hasten this swiftly. Kim Seo Hyeon acknowledge as Queen Seon Deok orders that they must finds the mole in Daeya fortress that his name goes by “Heuk”. Kim Chun Chu said that he has asked Im Jong to follow up on the matter & he will depart for the fortress soon. Queen Seon Deok asked Kim Yong Chun where is Bi Dam. Kim Yong Chun informs that Bi Dam is having a discuss with Kim Yu shin on the enemy logistics & plans
Kim Yu Shin writes the details as Bi Dam reads them that Yoon Chung talked of swift & offensive onslaught & the observation to their reserve & supplies only suggest that they has a ration of 3 days. Bi Dam then asked therefore they will laid siege to Daeya fortress in 3 days & asked if this is true as Kim Yu Shin confirms & a person who name begins with ‘Heuk” will be responsible to open the gates for them. Bi Dam said that once again Kim Yu Shin has gain another meritorious service. If it wasn’t for Kim Yu Shin went to serve his exile then they wouldn’t has got such a crucial intelligence but then if only what you claim is true, Kim Yu Shin said that they are correct. Bi Dam said that if what Kim Yu Shin said is true then this will redeem Kim Yu Shin as he has once again save this nation from risk. Bi Dam will work on this quickly to verify Kim Yu Shin’s claims are of truth that this will able to reimburse your freedom as for the moment this may bring some discomfort but he hopes that Kim Yu Shin will able to endure until then. Bi Dam leaves & at the corridors Bi Dam sees Kim Chun Chu handing an imperial decree to Im Jong & tells him that all he know is that the person run by the name “Heuk” & instructs Im Jong to meet with the fort commander of Daeya fortress & adhere to Queen Seon Deok’s instruction & that they must look for him discreetly without arousing any suspicion. Im Jong acknowledge Kim Chun Chu as Nae Sang Sa Shin’s instruction & depart for the fortress at once
Nae Sang the internal department or the Privy Council was responsible for the general administration of the country. Who was on the Council depended on who Queen Seon Deok wanted on it as you may see who she has her trust. Queen Seon Deok had to make sure that the most powerful men in her country had theirs & hers interests represented. If she did not, they could rebel against her. The Privy Council were involved in an array of governmental areas, including religion, military matters, the Queen’s security, economics, and the welfare of the people. They could be called on to deal with matters of national interest, and also, surprisingly, very mundane issues that effected individuals rather than the country. The Council issued decrees & proclamations in the Queen’s name, and supervised the enforcement of statutes. One of the Privy Council’s principal roles was to advise Queen Seon Deok when she needed advice but not necessary taken by her. The individual in the Privy Council did not always agree on matters, however, Queen Seon Deok would have to listen to all sides of the argument, & then make up her own mind what to do. This increased her power to a degree, as it meant that she was never faced with a united Privy Council since it is an absolute monarchy system. The Privy Council also overseeing the preservation of law and order, defending the realm against plots, and general security
Kim Chun Chu turns around to see Bi Dam at the corridors. Kim Seo Hyeon with the army as he orders them that the next morning they will be deploy to Daeya fortress, the Commandants must work coexist with the Hwa Rang corps & thoroughly prepare for this deployment. The army acknowledge. Queen Seon Deok tells that army that according to Kim Yu Shin’s intelligence gathering, Yoon Chung of Baekje has 20,000 troop under his command & a mole that is working & in contact for them at Daeya fortress. Queen Seon Deok said that they must search for this mole & terminate him to defeat the enemy’s arrogance & boost their own morale. A Baekje army that only have 3 days reserve will be venerable to be isolated. Queen Seon Deok commands that they must eliminate the Baekje’s threats & protect Daeya fortress. The army acknowledge Queen Seon Deok’s orders
Bi Dam goes to see Queen Seon Deok about Kim Yu Shin as Bi Dam queries that Kim Yu Shin is a person send to be exile & how can she render Kim Yu Shin such an important task to do a covet mission & issue her secret imperial decree to him. Queen Seon Deok said that it is indeed an important task, it is an important task for the nation that is why she entrust Kim Yu Shin to expedite this mission for she is has the most trust for Kim Yu Shin to able to do so. Bi Dam said that he is charge with a crime. Queen Seon Deok said that to utilise a capable criminal & to allow him to atone his crimes for the merit to his country, it is a righteous & justice principle. Bi Dam asked Queen Seon Deok why she has render so much trust in Kim Yu Shin. Queen Seon Deok question why Bi Dam has so little faith in capabilities. Bi Dam said that if she wanted him to trust people then she wouldn’t have establish the Ministry of Audit. Queen Seon Deok said that she is not referring to Kim Yu Shin but herself that Bi Dam must trust. Queen Seon Deok asked Bi Dam that he doesn’t have any confidence in her & asked him that he thinks that it is because of personal reason that Queen Seon Deok I have misjudge Kim Yu Shin
Bi Dam said to himself that the person she has confidence has meet up with Wyol Ya & Seo Ji as Queen Seon Deok queries that is that what he is thinking. Bi Dam said in regards to that last question, Bi Dam will revert his answer at a later date & time. Bi Dam leaves but turns around. Ha Jong queries that why BI dam has to withhold this fact from Queen Seon Deok. Seol Won Rang agrees with Ha Jong that a person who is send to exile & absconded from his confines then trespasses to Baekje borders & meet up with the leader of Bo Gya Hoe, this can be brush as just simple & trivial matter. Mi Saeng concurs that Queen Seon Deok can’t able to ignore this & to kept this in the dark, she must be held responsible but then why as Seol Won Rang asked his son whether he truly has witness it. Bo Jong confirms it that it was definitely Wyol Ya & Seo Ji in Baekje. Bi Dam said that he is just waiting for the right moment. Ha Jong question about the right moment. BI Dam wants to wait whether Kim Yu Shin’s intelligence gathering is good enough to bring this nation out of perilous danger. If he were to bring this motion up then his achievement would have cancelled out crimes that he been charged with the effect that it will erase his offenses. Therefore Bi Dam is waiting for the right timing to strike
Bo Gya Hoe is training with their cross bow formation with target practice. Seo Ji looks at the target board & finds that it makes a differences by using Gwoljangno
Gwoljangno or Cho Ku Nu or the Karil’s crossbow is a rapid fire crossbow that
The Commander of the crossbow garrison said that these new crossbows do indeed make a difference & their accuracy is define & take a look at the arrow they shoot have the penetration rate of 5 chon that the normal arrow in a target board but in the condition of battle they might has the shooting range of over 200 paces
Chon (尺) is Chinese measurement of length ‘Chi”. It is about 37.15cm to a chon
Bo (步) is paces & equivalent to 1 2/3 m
Seo Ji said that this is fine that when Gaya was defeated, we have finally able to regain their lost arsenal of the crossbow technology of Gwoljangno. Wyol Ya disturb on what Kim Yu Shin has said to him in the cave. Kim Yu Shin tells that their duty as Gaya’s royal descendants…that we must do is to is to make certain that the remaining Gaya descent doesn’t suffer people oppression & prejudice & there is a future for their descendants & don’t let the Gaya Kim clan to vanished in extinction therefore the unification of that the Gaya descent must offer their contribution to that aspiration & be the forerunner of it & their existence will forever be bind into Silla history
Seo Ji comes in to tell that their Gwoljangno has been a success & finds Wyol Ya trouble as Seo Ji asked that they should just forget about Kim Yu Shin as they don’t have the same agenda. Seo Ji asked Wyol Ya to go back to square one, all we need to regain our fighting morale & we can achieve success. Wyol Ya asked Seo ji whether this is right or wrong that if they continues with this fight. Seo Ji reminds that the Gaya has suffer oppression for 80 years, it was only this few years that it change for the better all of the sudden, how can they have faith in Silla that it will sustained. Wyol Ya said that in honest truth, for the Gaya descent they just needn’t suffer oppression, it doesn’t matter whether they are Silla subject or Gay subject, it doesn’t make the difference for them. Seo Ji asked Wyol Ya not to lose heart & weaken his spirit
Kim Yu Shin tells Al Cheon that Wyol Ya & Seo Ji was with him in Baekje & that when he escape from Yoon Chung’s army camp, they has help Kim Yu Shin to block the Baekje’s army. Al Cheon said that it looks like that they have been monitoring Kim Yu Shin’s whereabouts. Al Cheon realise wouldn’t it be perhaps that Bo Jong has also witness that he has seen them. If he did, it will spell trouble & should this be expose…. Kim Yu Shin is more concern with the situation in Daeya fortress & if there is any news from there. Im Jong & his men riding as they return from Daeya fortress. Kim Seo Hyeon & his army marching to battle from Seorabeol. Im Jong reaches the palace then inform that there is any person by that name as Im Jong confirms but there is a person with the surname “Heuk” but met his demise a few months ago. Queen Seon Deok is shocked
Ha Jong is also surprise that there is no such person. Seol Won Rang asked are they certain that there is no such person. Ha Jong asked whether Kim Yu Shin has lied about the matter. Yeom Jong said that he doesn’t have knowledge of the fact but the army has been mobilise because it was base on Kim Yu Shin’s intelligence gathering but he has stir confusion & created chaos in the military, this is a offense that wouldn’t see him being pardon. Mi Saeng agrees moreover not to mentioned that he is a person sent to exile who was order by secret imperial decree to expedite this mission of intelligence gathering but the question is that it is only to give falsify information to the military. Seol Won Rang asked whether this is the right moment that they have been waiting for. Bi Dam agrees that the right moment that he has been waiting came faster than he has imagine
Guk San Heung & Yang Gil tells Kim Yu Shin that the person with name “Heuk” is already dead as Kim Yu Shin queries that there is anyone else with that name. Guk San Heun confirms that there isn’t any & they has carefully verified. Yang Gil said no matter whom, the soldiers & the ranking officer they have check thorough for that name list & register & finds no one. Guk San Hein said that everybody has consider that Kim Yu Shin has given falsified information & not giving their attention to Daeya fortress. Kim Yu Shin said that they must not. Kim Yu Shin is curtained that Daeya fortress will be laid siege for an offensive onslaught. Yang Gil said that Kim Seo Hyeon has already received orders to withdraw his troops
Queen Seon Deok in court as the Ministers calls that Kim Yu Shin has given falsified information that it is a severe offense. Lord Jujin said that the military have stir up in chaos by Kim Yu Shin’s information & the offense is not to be taken lightly that he is a person send to exile. Mi Saeng said that Queen Seon Deok render her benevolence to an exiled criminal & given such a crucial mission of importance to him but however in repayment for his gratitude that he tramples on that benevolence by giving falsified that information where in this world will tolerate someone who has done treachery of limitless proportion. Kim Yong Chun said that Kim Yu Shin has made a wrong assumption & has created a stir in the military however it is just a human error & he doesn’t have malice intention & asked for Queen Seon Deok consideration
Bi Dam comes to court & agrees with the matter that Kim Yu Shin didn’t intentionally did on malice with falsified information but however permit him to speak & reports that when Kim Yu Shin was apprehended by Bo Jong in edge of Baekje border, before that Kim Yu Shin was seen in the company of Wyol Ya & Seo Ji. Queen Seon Deok is surprise & she has to think quick. Lord Jujin asked whether the matter is true & calls to Queen Seon Deok that this is unacceptable that Kim Yu Shin absconded from his exile & is seen in contact with Bo Gya Hoe underground resistance organisation. Lord Sueulbu said if this is true that it means that Kim Yu Shin is league with Bo Gya Hoe all along & demands that Kim Yu Shin be executed for his wrongdoing in order to pacify this nation. Lord Jujin concurs that receiving Queen Seon Deok secret imperial decree is just a blanket excuse for him to contact Bo Gya Hoe that this can’t be forgiven & asked Kim Yu Shin be executed as the other Ministers chorus that Kim Yu Shin be executed & asked for her consideration. Queen Seon Deok is push to a corner then she recalls that Bi Dam has delay to answer her queries to a later date then he realise that this was Bi Dam’s answer to her question. Bi Dam tells her this is his answer
Queen Seon Deok asked Bi Dam that did he really found out about this matter recently or has he already knew from the beginning that Kim Yu Shin has contacts with Wyol Ya. Bi Dam said how could he has dare to lied this to Queen Seon Deok that he affirms that he knew this all along. Queen Seon Deok is upset that he knew & why he withheld it & only just said it. Bi Dam said that Kim Yu Shin’s intelligence is important for them, if he was to reveal this then, this will have been totally been ignore & render fruitless this is why he waited to verify his claims to be true or false then to report this to you. Queen Seon Deok asked whether Bi Dam is now playing words games with her that he is waiting for the right moment to push Kim Yu Shin to a corner & reacted on it. Bi dam said Bo Gya Hoe is an obstacle for Silla’s aspiration, therefore there is no necessary Queen Seon Deok to give defense to Gaya. Queen Seon Deok asked therefore as Bi Dam continues that however Kim Yu Shin will definitely ever going to forsake Gaya, as Queen Seon Deok asked Bi Dam to continues as Bi Dam tells that Queen Seon Deok only option open & left that she will have to be the person to forsake Kim Yu Shin that Bi Dam has earnestly request to forsake Kim Yu Shin. Bi Dam force Queen Seon Deok to deal her deck
Princess Man Myeong goes to see her son & asked what can they suppose to do now. There are people sending in petition to request that Kim Yu Shin to be executed. Kim Yu Shin asked whether they is any oddity movement from Daeya fortress. Princess Man Myeong tell her son that this is not the time to be discuss on other matter but the concern about him. Kim Yu shin said that Daeya fortress is why matter now although he doesn’t know what has gone wrong with the intelligence but he is certain that they will definitely be an attack & the declaration of war. Princess Man Myeong asked whether Daeya fortress will be besieged & overtaken. Kim Yu Shin confirms as they didn’t make the necessary arrangement to fortified for the anticipation of the siege that Daeya fortress will fall
Queen Seon Deok with a migraine as Kim Chun Chu comes to seek audience. Kim Chun Chu comes in & greets Queen Seon Deok. Queen Seon Deok asked whether he came here to persuade her to forsake Kim Yu Shin like the general consensus. Kim Chun Chu said he did not. Queen Seon Deok asked then that she shouldn’t forsake him. Kim Chun Chu gives a negative answer as Queen Seon Deok asked what is it then. Kim Chun Chu said that she can’t forsake Gaya like that. Queen Seon Deok is surprise at Kim Chun Chu’s answer. Kim Chun Chu asked whether it is necessary for Kim Yu Shin to divorce from Gaya & there is a alternative method to it to solve this. Queen Seon Deok said that she has render her benevolence to the Gaya descents but they failed to trust that their future in Silla & giving underground support for Wyol Ya’s Bo Gya Hoe. Queen Seon Deok asked what else must she do to have good terms with them & asked Kim Chun Chu whether they is an answer to the solution. Kim Chun Chu smiles most cunningly as Queen Seon Deok said that Kim Chun Chu indeed have an answer. Kim Chun Chu confirms that there is & the answer is none other than him, Kim Chun Chu. Queen Seon Deok smiles
Kim Yu shin making charcoal drawing of Daeya fortress & recalling in the activities in Baekje camps as he listed the pointer Gae Mun Heuk then recall Gyebaek tell that it will be a swift & offensive onslaught that it will be the end. Kim Yu Shin has to think very hard. Queen Seon Deok in her balcony contemplating that what Kim Chun Chu has proposal has a real possibility of making it worked. Bi Dam seek her audience. Bi Dam asked what Queen Seon Deok’s decision to managed Kim Yu Shin’s matter. Queen Seon Deok asked whether it is that that brought him here that draws his curiosity over her decision. Bi Dam said that if Queen Seon Deok don’t forsake Kim Yu Shin….Queen Seon Deok said if she can’t forsake then he will continues to protect Kim Yu Shin but then the petition to request for Kim Yu Shin’s execution will be increasing before her while the Hwa Rang & the army will start to pester her audience with their petition. Bi Dam said that he shall do all he can to quell their petition, she just need to give her nod of consent that he will able to spare Kim Yu Shin’s life
Queen Seon Deok asked for Kim Yu Shin’s life, would the term be involve of a marital ties. Bi Dam is surprise that Queen Seon Deok has made a correct guess. Queen Seon Deok asked whether this is the value of Kim Yu Shin’s life that to be paid with their marital ties to be that expensive. Queen Seon Deok said that Bo Dam know that it doesn’t not have that value, doesn’t he wish for that. Bi Dam stutter to affirm it that it is what he wishes but he said he has never place a value to barter his devotion to Queen Seon Deok. Queen Seon Deok brushes that devotion is such a without a worry & pleasant prattle. Bi Dam asked Queen Seon Deok to give her consent if she wants Bi Dam to spare Kim Yu Shin’s life
I will spare his life that he will do so for her sake. Bi Dam looks like a sick puppy asking Queen Seon Deok to consent but Queen Seon Deok bluntly tell him that she will not give consent to that order or request & he is dismiss. This must be a hurtful rejection to Bi Dam where else Queen Seon Deok has to think like a sovereign without any sentiments to come to play
Bi Dam goes to Kim Yu Shin & step on his drawing then take a sit to tell him that the petition are piling in asking for his execution like arrow flying pass but then Kim Yu Shin is here sitting & uttering prattle of Daeya fortress is going to overtaken & besiege. Bi Dam asked Kim Yu Shin that because of him, that it has give so much stress & difficulty to Queen Seon Deok.
Kim Yu Shin also giving Bi Dam a migraine
Kim Yu Shin tells that Bi Dam is quick witted & intelligent than him, but why Bi Dam can’t read the situation clearly & brush this lightly. Kim Yu Shin said that it will happened today, before this day is over that something will befall in Daeya Fortress. Bi Dam asked Kim Yu Shin to stop his prattles. Kim Yu Shin said that the attention now is not for his safety but the security of this country & yours. If Daeya fortress is seize then the responsibility lies to the Auditor General who never acted upon the intelligence that Kim Yu Shin has convey & stood aside. Bi Dam asked whether Kim Yu Shin can convince him with all those charades. Kim Yu Shin asked Bi Dam, what his mother would have done in this situation. Bi Dam upset that he is not permit to bring up his mother’s name. Kim Yu shin said that if Bi Dam possess half of what Mi Shil’s intelligence & insight then just look through Kim Yu Shin & tell him that does he look like he has fears & doesn’t he looks like a person that conjures charades. Kim Yu Shin said that he doesn’t know why there is no spy by the name of ‘Heuk” & it is driving him mad but however, Daeya fortress will be attack tonight. Kim Yu Shin relay an idiom of Busy hunting the deer but doesn’t see Mt Taishan. Kim Yu shin asked him to see Mt Taishan, that he is able to see that picture clearly
Busy hunting the deer but doesn’t see Mt Taishan is the meaning obsess with petty matter but lose sight of the main picture. Mt Taishan is one of the 5 sacred mountains in China
Bi Dam leaves & tell himself that Kim Yu Shin is not a person to be playing charades & what Kim Yu shin has said & it truly happens as he ponder when Yeom Jong calls on Bi Dam. Yeom Jong said that Kim Yu Shin is now digging his own grave, the tides are changing against him, he is just diverting his attention to somewhere else & anyhow it came out as Bi Dam has perceived & once Kim Yu Shin is fully being dealt with…Bi Dam stops Yeom Jong then asked Yeom Jong a question if should Daeya fortress were to overtaken & seize. Yeom Jong said that how can that happened. Bi Dam asked Yeom Jing to bring him all the reports of their records of their investigation to the personnel station in Daeya fortress to bring to him at once. It catches Yeom Jong by surprise but BI Dam stare at Yeom Jing that he means business as Yeom Jong acknowledge
Seol Won Rang greets Queen Seon Deok & tells her that her face is filled with anxiety. Queen Seon Deok asked that Seol Won Rang has bountiful experience of many campaign of battle & wars therefore Seol Won Rang posses an sensitive instinct that ordinary person might not have in them. If the gut feeling that a war might be in the midst, it will bring a sweltering suspicion & uneasiness. Seol Won Rang said that it been confirm to be false & yet she trust Kim Yu Shin’s intelligence gathering. Seol Won Rang said that Kim Yu Shin is indeed that kind of man, no matter what he venture where or what that he always has done it for Queen Seon Deok therefore the person that Queen Seok Deok is anxious is not Kim Yu Shin. Seol Won Rang said that Queen Seon Deok must have recall what she has warn him prior that not to incite Bi Dam in any way but now the person who inciting Bi Dam is none other than Queen Seon Deok herself & that Queen Seon Deok must be held responsible on what BI Dam does & his action. Seol Won Rang said that there is nothing Bi Dam is on his own accord but that of Queen Seon Deok’s decision. Seol Won Rang asked Queen Seon Deok to calm Bi Dam’s nerves & give him some reassurances. He can render his unyielding fidelity better than anyone towards Queen Seon Deok that he is sure that Queen Seon Deok is well aware of the matter at heart
Lord Sueulbu said that they are all false for both Kim Yu Shin’s intelligence gathering & the matter he wasn’t involve with Bo Gya Hoe. Ho Jae said that he has lied Queen Seon Deok & belittle the courts has been ridiculed by his action. Ha Jong concurs that this was just to conceal & cover up his crimes that he is involve with Bo Gya Hoe that created chaos. Lord Jujin said that Kim Yu Shin is the enemy of the state that the law of the lands must dispose of him & restore order. Bo Jong said that Queen Seon Deok did admit give him a secret imperial decree & how are they going to handle Kim Yu Shin will have to wait for Queen Seon Deok’s own decision & there shall see how she is going to. Ha Jong said that they will force in persuasion for Queen Seon Deok to make a decision. Mi Saeng asked in the moment of this importance, why isn’t Bi Dam in their midst
Bi Dam looking through the Daeya Fortress Administration & Government Register. Bi Dam said there is nothing to be found but then what did Kim Yu Shin saw over there. Yeom Jong said that he must be lying. Bi Dam said that Kim Yu Shin will not lied about the matter like this. Yeom Jing said that they has look at the register there is nothing to be found as Bi Dam thinking hard. The Ministers & official kneeling in front of In gang jeon to petition that Queen Seon Deok execute Kim Yu Shin & the next to them the Military pleading that Kim Yu Shin’s life be spare as they chorus their petition like an orchestrated rally
Go Do scream his petition that this can’t be allow as Kim Yu Shin didn’t lied about his intelligence gathering as Guk San Heun concurs that they need to protect Daeya fortress. Dae Pung said that Silla border is at risk. Yang Gil said that it is now emergency crisis. Queen Seon Deok in her chamber listening to the pleading & shouts outside the palace as Al Cheon stands by her. Then Joo Bang brings Queen Seon Deok the stacks of scroll that the provincial offices has brought up. Joo Bang said that all of these are petition to have Kim Yu Shin executed & asked what are they supposed to do. Queen Seon Deok close her eyes to ponder as Joo Bang agrees that she should close her eyes & shut her ears & don’t think anything, don’t asked as Joo Bang tells that she needs to saved Kim Yui Shin & she must do so. Queen Seon Deok asked him why. Joo Bang said that he doesn’t know a thing about politics or principles & in truth he know none of these but if Queen Seon Deok was to discard Kim Yu Shin…..Joo bang said that he is just saying the honesty even in the expenses of his status that he feels that Queen Seon Deok will be tarnish & it doesn’t suit her character. If she know that it will tarnish then don’t do it as it goes against her own sincerity
Kim Yu Shin listen to the petition as Al Cheon comes running as Kim Yu Shin asked whether they is any new from Daeya fortress as Al Cheon said there is none. Al Cheon said that compare to this matter the palace is now thrown into chaos that everybody is petition Queen Seon Deok to have Kim Yu Shin be executed but Al Cheon believe that what Kim Yu Shin has reported is not a lie, but the frontline is now in turmoil & Kim Yu Shin will be held responsible. Kim Yu shin said that at this moment it is not his safety that is an issue. Kim Yu Shin said that there will be a war that is for certain & they need to stop the advancement of Baekje army at all cost. Al Cheon asked whether Kim Yu Shin is most certain that Daeya fortress will come under attack. Kim Yu Shin said that if his calculation of assumption is correct, it will happen tonight. Al Cheon asked so why there isn’t the suppose mole’s name that starts with “Heuk” & is he very sure on what he saw. Kim Yu Shin said that it was covered partly so he couldn’t see the rest but the ‘Heuk” was there
Yeom Jong said there is any to be found, so although it is said that he saw the map however it partly covered, so he could only see the 1st character & there is no person by the name “Heuk” therefore it is a lie
Then Bi dam realise about the character “Heuk” then Bi Dam said that it could be a radical index words for something
“Heuk” (黑) in the radical index is listed as a character of 12 strokes . The radical index (部首section heads) is an essential element of the Chinese dictionary. The list of Chinese radicals is a rough equivalent of a Chinese “alphabet”. Every Chinese character is classified under a radical and characters with the same radical are sorted by the number of stroke used in writing them. The number of strokes varies between 1 and 17. Characters belonging to a particular radical are in turn listed on the basis of the number of additional strokes. Note that the number of strokes is not always clear to the untrained eye
Yeom Jong looks at the register & already spotted with the Heuk in the radical index there were names of Jeom Yang & Geom Il who has the “Heuk” radical & one of them must be the moles. Bi Dam looks at the register & finds that Geom Il is in charge of the Northern Gates. Yoon Chung receive the courier pigeon from Geom Il to say that he will open the North gates tonight
黔 is Geom is a compound of 2 character. The radical index on the left is “Heuk”
Bi Dam said that they need to deal this matter personally that they need to arrest Geom Il, no they must kill him. Yeom Jing is surprise as Bi Dam order that they sent Bo Jong secretly to Daeya fortress & he must be on the fastest horse there. Yeom Jong acknowledged & leaves
