寡人光靠这本书 就已经解了一切的忧愁 Just by this book alone, all my cares have been dispelled.

接下来把所有的大明会典带到这里 Bring the complete series of the Daemyeonghoejeon here now.

寡人就算立即归天也毫无遗憾了 Even, if I were to die immediately it would be without regrets.

殿下 王恩浩荡 Your Majesty's grace is boundless.

大明会典 Daemyeonghoejeon.

这本明国的法典里 According to this legal code of the Ming,

朝鲜太祖李成桂是 King Taejo of Joseon, Lee Seong Gye was

-李仁任 1.太祖李成桂 神懿王后 韩氏 神德王后 康氏 34.恭让王 33.昌王- 朝鲜太祖李成桂是 King Taejo of Joseon, Lee Seong Gye was

高丽的文臣李仁任的儿子 Goryeo civilian official Lee In Im's son. -李仁任 1.太祖李成桂 神懿王后 韩氏 神德王后 康氏 34.恭让王 33.昌王-

被记载为他杀害了高丽王之后成为了大王 It was recorded that he became king after killing the Goryeo king. -李仁任 1.太祖李成桂 神懿王后 韩氏 神德王后 康氏 34.恭让王 33.昌王-

-李仁任 1.太祖李成桂 神懿王后 韩氏 神德王后 康氏 34.恭让王 33.昌王-

朝鲜的朝廷在200多年的岁月里 For 200 years, the Joseon court -李仁任 1.太祖李成桂 神懿王后 韩氏 神德王后 康氏 34.恭让王 33.昌王-

派了很多使臣要求修改 had sent many envoys to request a revision -李仁任 1.太祖李成桂 神懿王后 韩氏 神德王后 康氏 34.恭让王 33.昌王-

派了很多使臣要求修改 had sent many envoys to request a revision

但每次都以失败告终 but each time, it ended in failure.

但是最终能实现旨意的 Ultimately, that was achieved by

就是朝鲜首位旁系出身大王宣祖 Joseon's first king to come from a collateral line, Seonjo.

这被称为宗系辩诬 This was called the 'Jonggye Byeonmu'. (clarification of a groundless fact on the family line)

是能减轻对于正统的宣祖的压力的 It was a great diplomatic achievement

很大的外交成果 that reduced the pressure on Seonjo over his legitimacy.

都是殿下的洪福 It's all Your Majesty's great blessing.

是的 That's right.

解开了我们国家 通过弑逆来创建了新的王朝的冤屈 It has cleared up the false charge that this country's new dynasty was founded through regicide.

把宗系更正的功劳 任何一位先代大王也未能实现 The exploit of correcting the Jonggye was not achieved by any of the previous kings.

-郑彦信(右议政) 郑彦智(吏曹参判)- 把宗系更正的功劳 任何一位先代大王也未能实现 The exploit of correcting the Jonggye was not achieved by any of the previous kings.

把宗系更正的功劳 任何一位先代大王也未能实现 The exploit of correcting the Jonggye was not achieved by any of the previous kings.

这何止是寡人的功劳 How can the credit be mine alone?

各位大臣的功劳真的很大 The contribution of all the ministers was truly enormous.

去了明国的尹郡守 The day Yun Geun Su, who has gone to Ming,

把全篇大明会典取回来的那一天 returns with the complete works of the Daemyeonghoejeon,

寡人会重重地报答各位的劳苦 I will reward all of you greatly for your effort.

圣恩浩荡 Your Majesty's grace is boundless.

殿下 宗系辩诬是开国200多年以来的一大喜事 Your Majesty, the Jonggye Byeonmu 200 years after our founding is a happy event.

绝不能忘记大国的恩典 We must not forget the kindness of China.

需要在心里长久地报答那份恩典 We have to be ever grateful for that in our hearts.

大明会典到达之后 When the Daemyeonghoejeon arrives,

请大王先派谢恩使吧 please send a thank-you envoy.

兵判的意下如何 Minister of War, what do you think?

这回的宗系辩诬 不能说是大国的恩典 This Jonggye Byeonmu cannot be considered a kindness of China.

-柳成龙(兵曹判书)- -= Yu Seong Ryong (Minister of War) =- 这回的宗系辩诬 不能说是大国的恩典 This Jonggye Byeonmu cannot be considered a kindness of China.

这回的宗系辩诬 不能说是大国的恩典 This Jonggye Byeonmu cannot be considered a kindness of China.

你何出大逆不道之言 兵判 What outrageous words are those, Minister of War?

可以说是端本澄源 It can be considered 'danbonjing-won'.

-端本澄源 纠正根本 俐落地整理- -= Danbonjing-won: putting things right from the source, cleaning it up =- 可以说是端本澄源 It can be considered 'danbonjing-won'.

一开始就是明国的记录有误 From the start, it was a mistake in Ming's records. -端本澄源 纠正根本 俐落地整理- -= Danbonjing-won: putting things right from the source, cleaning it up =-

一开始就是明国的记录有误 From the start, it was a mistake in Ming's records.

错误的宗系由高丽末期实录 The erroneous family record started from chronicles of the late Goryeo period

向明国皇帝表示我们的太祖大王开始的 that presented our King Taejo as such to the Ming emperor.

之后明国不顾几番纠正宗系的要求 Since then, in spite of several requests to correct the Jonggye,

一直置之不理 Ming paid us no heed.

在之后的200多年里 我们的王室和朝廷 In the 200 years since,

受到了多大的痛苦 how great a pain did our royal family and court suffer?

还有 到了现在才纠正了不是事实的谎言 And, only now have they corrected the false lie.

追根究底 姗姗来迟的宗系辩诬 In the final analysis, the long overdue Jonggye Byeonmu

反而是需要受到大国的道歉的事情 is something we should receive an apology from China for

而不能说成是恩惠 and not call it a kindness.

如果把这些当做恩惠 If we treat this as kindness

那就是等于在太祖大王的神位前 it's akin to committing a heinous crime

犯下滔天大罪 in front of King Taejo's tablet.

左相的意下如何 Left State Councillor, what do you think?

臣也觉得兵判的此番话言之有理 Your vassal feels that the Minister of War made a valid point.

就算不能当做恩惠 owever, even if we can't treat it as kindness

-李山海(左议政)- -= Lee San Hae (Left State Councillor) =

但是明国朝廷为了纠正先代的事情 However, even if we can't treat it as kindness It's clear as day that, for the sake of correcting the predecessors' matter

而辛苦是一目了然的事情 the Ming court has made a great effort.

哪怕是表达一片小小心意也是一种礼仪 Even if it's a small expression of gratitude, it's also a form of etiquette.

觉得左相所言甚是 就按照左相的意思来办吧 I feel that the Left State Councillor is right. Do that accordingly.

圣恩浩荡 Your Majesty's grace is boundless.

怎么了 觉得准备谢恩使的命令不太合适吗 What's wrong? You feel that the order to prepare a thank-you envoy is inappropriate?

之前给明国皇室和朝廷献上的贡品不知其数 All the while, we've offered countless tributes to the Ming imperial family and court.

除了内库金 甚至让朝鲜的余额接近枯竭 Other than the king's secret funds, it's caused our treasury to be close to drying up.

-内库金 王的秘密资金- 除了内库金 甚至让朝鲜的余额接近枯竭 Other than the king's secret funds, it's caused our treasury to be close to drying up.

除了内库金 甚至让朝鲜的余额接近枯竭 Other than the king's secret funds, it's caused our treasury to be close to drying up.

但是又要派谢恩使吗 However, you still want to send a thank-you envoy?

我知道 我知道 所以才要表示最起码的心意 I understand, I know. That's why we must at the very least express our sincerity.

不管怎么样 对我们而言是上国 大国啊 No matter what, to us, they're a higher nation, a powerful country.

关系变坏了没什么好处 It's of no benefit to us for relations to sour.

皇帝也只埋头于致富 大臣们也执着于贿赂 The emperor is only focused on getting rich, the ministers are obsessed with bribes.

明国只是被称为大国罢了 Ming is but a powerful country in name only.

实质上跟亡国没什么两样 It's no different from a ruined country in reality.

兵判 你以为我也是感谢明国才要这么做吗 Minister of War! Do you think I'm also doing this because I'm grateful to Ming?

你观察一下主上的心绪吧 Observe the king's mood.

就算有气人的事情 只要看到大明会典 Even if there's something upsetting him, when he sees the Daemyeonghoejeon

就会不知不觉地微笑 he will smile unknowingly.

身为旁系人的我们的主上 Our king who is from a collateral line

实现了连正统先代大王们也未能实现的大事 achieved a great thing that even the previous main line kings failed to do.

说端本澄源是对的 It's correct to call it 'danbonjing-won'

就当做谢恩使是记下我们主上伟大的业绩吧 but just take it as if the thank-you envoy is to record our king's great achievement.

不管怎么样我们的国库还是会被削减 No matter what, our treasury will still be reduced.

这人真是的 You're really...

-釜山浦- -= Busanpo =-

-李德馨(吏曹正郎,宣慰使)- -= Lee Deok Hyeong =-

久违了 远道而来 真是辛苦二位了 -= Lee Deok Hyeong (Ministry of Personnel) =- It's been a long time. You came a long way, thank you.

能来迎接我们真是感谢各位 -= Genso =- Thank you for receiving us, when you are busy.

我们带来了一些供奉的小礼物 -= So Yoshitoshi =- Although it's insignificant, we brought some gifts for the king. -平义智- -= So Yoshitoshi =- Although it's insignificant, we brought some gifts for the king.

是礼品单 The gift list.

我会上奏朝廷 I will forward it to the court.

还有 这是 And, this.

不在礼品单的物品是不能收下 Items not on the gift list cannot be accepted.

请你收回吧 Please take it back.

不是贿赂 是好不容易才带来的物品 It's not a bribe. We brought it over with much difficulty.

这就是鸟枪 Take a look at this. It's a matchlock gun.

1589年 In 1589

对马岛主平义智和僧侣玄苏 Lord of Tsushima, So Yoshitoshi and the monk, Genso

作为日本的使臣抵达了朝鲜 arrived in Joseon as envoys of Japan.

2年前也是 丰臣秀吉派了使臣 2 years earlier as well, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had sent envoys

欲求建立外交关系 to beg for establishment of diplomatic ties.

但是朝鲜的朝廷把丰臣秀吉 But the Joseon court considered Toyotomi Hideyoshi

当做篡夺政权的人物拒绝了要求 to be an usurper and rejected his request.

所以再次派来了使臣 So he sent envoys again.

对马岛主为了日本与朝鲜建立外交关系 The Lord of Tsushima, wanting to establish diplomatic ties between Joseon and Japan,

作为使臣积极出面 was highly motivated as an envoy.

是因为长时间依赖与朝鲜之间的贸易 This is because for a long time, they relied on trade with Joseon

-朝鲜 对马岛 日本- -= Joseon, Tsushima, Japan =- 而维持生计的他们 只要爆发战争 to maintain their livelihoods. If war were to break out,

就只能会成为日本的战争基地 They would only become Japan's war base. -朝鲜 对马岛 日本- -= Joseon, Tsushima, Japan =-

之后也不能期待与朝鲜之间的贸易 They could also no longer expect to have any trade with Joseon after that. -朝鲜 对马岛 日本- -= Joseon, Tsushima, Japan =-

大人 Sir

你这小子 Rascal!

不是告诉过你, 在都城里不要随意骑马吗 Didn't I tell you not to gallop around in the capital?

小人为了告诉您外国使臣抵达了釜山浦的消息 I wanted to inform you of the news that the Wae envoys have arrived at Busanpo.

才马不停蹄地赶来的 That's why I rushed here without stopping.

外国使臣吗 Wae envoys? (Wae - ancient name of Japan)

是的 Yes.

驿站呢 The messenger?

现在应该在进入城门 He should be entering the city gate now.

小人本来不就很快吗 Hasn't your servant always been pretty swift?

上备边司吧 Let's go to the Border Defense Council.

真是的 真是个坚韧不拔的家伙们 Seriously, they're such tenacious fellows!

派使臣 向我们表示礼仪已经都过了150多年 Well, it's already been over 150 years since we sent envoys to them to spread Chinese classics and etiquette.

如果我们的文化已经传开的话 If our culture had already been disseminated,

还会发生丰臣秀吉那种家伙

would someone like Toyotomi Hideyoshi

-郑彦信(右议政,东人)- = Jeong Eon Sin (Right State Councillor, Easterner) =-

弑逆自己的大王的天人共怒的事情吗 commit such an unpardonable atrocity as killing his own ruler? -郑彦信(右议政,东人)- = Jeong Eon Sin (Right State Councillor, Easterner) =-

弑逆自己的大王的天人共怒的事情吗 commit such an unpardonable atrocity as killing his own ruler?

-柳成龙(兵曹判书,东人)- -= Ryu Seong Ryong (Minister of War, Easterner) =-

150年 换句话来讲 那么长时间 150 years... In other words, for such a long period of time

我们都对他们置身于度外 we had not bothered with them.

现在该敬他们三分 We should now get to know them.

你的意思是要重新建立外交关系吗 -= Jeong Eon Ji =- You mean, re-establish diplomatic ties? -郑彦智(吏曹参判,东人)- -= Jeong Eon Ji =- You mean, re-establish diplomatic ties?

不管要不要建立外交关系 Whether or not we want to establish diplomatic ties,

我的意思是我们有必要了解一下他们的情况 what I meant was we need to grasp their situation.

大家不还记得申叔舟夫人吗 -= Lee San Hae =- Does everyone still remember Shin Suk Ju? -李山海(左议政,东人)- -= Lee San Hae =- Does everyone still remember Shin Suk Ju?

申叔舟大人多次往返于国外 He had gone to Wae on several diplomatic missions.

了解了他们的情况 He gained an understanding of their situation.

所以 教会了他们礼仪了学问 Therefore, he taught them etiquette and Chinese classics.

让他们把我们视为上国 He had them regard us as a higher nation.

是名副其实不通过武力 He had truly set a good example of achieving it through diplomacy

通过外交政策来成为了典范 and not through military force.

但是丰臣秀吉是极为危险的人物 But, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is an extremely dangerous person.

不能跟那种人建立外交关系 We cannot establish diplomatic ties with that kind of person.

因为是危险人物 所以才有必要好好观察 It's because he's a dangerous person that we need to examine him closely.

那种侦查 即使我们不派使臣 For that kind of investigation, even if we don't send an envoy

对马岛主不是能替我们做吗 can't the Lord of Tsushima do it for us?

不是以前那个怕我们的对马岛 It's no longer the Tsushima of the past that fears us.

现在是更怕丰臣秀吉 They now fear Toyotomi Hideyoshi more.

把他视为阎罗王 They see him as Yama (the King of Hell).

在这种情况下听对马岛主的意见 Under these circumstances, it's not possible to

无法掌握准确的情况 listen to him and grasp the situation accurately.

如果是这样 我们得亲自派人 If that's the case, we have to send someone ourselves.

主上会允许吗 Will the king allow it?

我担心会动怒 I'm worried he will get angry.

得说服主上 We have to persuade him.

那么 大家不要都出面 Then, let's not come forward together.

首先 由兵判来观察一下主上的旨意 First, the Minister of War will find out what the king thinks.

之后再定一下我们的打算如何 After that, we will decide on what to do. How about it?

觉得这主意很好 觉得这主意很好 I think that's good. It's a good idea.
