Queen Insoo (인수대비)

Aside from the gisaeng (Korean courtesan) is there anyone who entered?

Just now, Yoo Ja Gwang entered.

Queen Insoo ~Episode 57~

Be very watchful of anyone who enters

As long as Royal Prince Jinseong is alive

my position (as King) will always be precarious.

"You are the son of the disposed queen."

When that attack is made on me, there's no way to avoid it.

Isn't that how it was for King Sejo? You're the one who robbed and killed Prince Nosan (posthumous dishonored title of King Danjong)

He lived in fear his entire life of being attacked by that epithet.

Your majesty no matter what I will protect you.

I heard that you brought down Prince Gui Sung and Nam Eui by changing just one character of a letter.

Wouldn't there be a good plan to wipe them all?

I'm telling you to find a way to cut off the limbs of the great queen dowager's stronghold.

Do you understand?

Cut them off! Cut them off!

Your Majesty, have you read Joeuijemoon written by Kim Jong Jik?

Joeuijemoom, you say?

He wrote it to express sadness for King Huai of Chu, who was murdered and thrown into a river by Xiang Yu of Qi.

And?

Kim Jong Jik's disciple, Kim Il Son, wrote the account of Joeuijemoon in Chronicles of King Seongjong.

What what's wrong with that?

In Kim Jong Jik's Joeuijemoon, King Huai who got murdered by Xiang Yu is a metaphore for Prince Nosan (King Danjong).

Xiang Yu who killed King Huai and threw him in the water refers to King Sejo.

He deserves to be beaten to death!

Are you saying that this person Kim Jong Jik

compared my great grandfather, King Sejo, to that cruel Xiang Yu ?

If my grandmother finds out,

how horrified would she be?

The father-in-law of such an elegant grandmother

takes after that barbaric Xiang Yu!

Just wait and see, grandmother.

You will be envious of my mother who's lying in the graveyard.

That you will realize how tormenting it is to live and breathe,

you will know that deep down in your bone.

You will never be able to look down on my mother again.

Look here, Chief Royal Secretary.

How is His Majesty summoning the cabinet members to the palace all of a sudden?

How would I know? I am also just running here after receiving the urgent message.

Welcome, Father.

Is there a problem at the palace?

Seeing that the palace gate is wide open, I don't think there is a problem.

Let's hurry and get in. Let's go see Her Highness the Queen first.

What are you hesitating for when I told them to bring the official historical record that Kim Il Son submitted!

The high officials at the Royal Library are looking for that record.

You are a truly loyal subject.

Thanks to you, Moo Yong Gun, I feel like I've gained an army of 1000 soldiers and 10,000 horses.

I am embarrassed, Your Majesty!

Are you bringing the official historical record to His Majesty?

Yes, Grand Prince of Papyung. (King's father-in-law)

Let me take a look at it.

We can't show him Kim Il Son's written record the way it is.

We've already taken out those that could cause a problem.

This guy! You should have take Joeuijemoon out!

His Majesty pointed that part out and asked to bring that.

There will be a bloodshed in and out of the palace.

Is that for real, Your Excellency?

Yes. We can finally relieve the Queen's grudges!

Thank you!

How could I repay for this kindness?

Aigo.

What are you doing? Give His Excellency a big bow!

His Majesty has summoned the cabinet members, you say?

Yes, Your Highness.

And you don't know why he did that?

That's correct, Your Highness.

Your Highness,

His Majesty asked the Royal Librarians to bring an official historical record.

- Historical record? - Yes, Your Highness.

Even as a King, it's not something you can read the official historical record at will.

That's why it's a problem, Your Highness.

It's probably not a big deal, Grandmother.

It's not a big deal?

My father came and told me that

His Majesty wants to interrogate a scholar, Kim Il Son, who dishonored King Sejo.

That's why he summoned the cabinet members.

Someone called Kim Il Son dishonored King Sejo?

Look at this guy who deserves to be killed!

Take a look at it here.

It says King Sejo defiled Ms. Yu and Ms. Kwon, who were Deokjong's concubines.

Isn't it saying that my great grandfather raped his daughters-in-law?!

That... That's not possible...

That's how it's written in here!

- Ja Won! - Yes, Your Majesty.

Contact the Royal Investigation Bureau and have Kim Il Son arrested right away!

I will ask Kim Il Son personally!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Lord Moo Young. have them set up for a trial right away!

When they arrest Kim Il Son, I will go there!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Wait! I will let Lord Moo Young handle this.

I will give a separate order.

Tell everyone to listen to Lord Moo Young. Understand?

Yes, Your Majesty.

- Did you hear me? - Yes, Your Majesty.

After capturing Kim Il Son, lock all the palace gates.

Until everything is revealed about this, no one will be able to get out of the palace.

Even if it's the great queen dowager, without my permission,

no one can step out of this palace!

Do you understand?!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Bind him tightly!

Yes, sir!

Your Highness. You should stop it at this point.

Your Highness.

I don't have a justification.

His Majesty is trying to punish the scholars who brought shame to Great King Sejo.

Grandmother.

Try and stop me.

That's right! You don't have the justification,

when I said I'll punish scholars who dishonored the Great King Sejo.

There's a big problem.

King Yeonsan locked up the palace gates,

and kept all the cabinet members inside the palace.

Is that right?

Could it be...

because of the deposed queen?

If that's the case, wouldn't he try to kill us first?

Do not be worried.

The great queen dowager will protect us.

Stop!

I told you to tell me who you heard that from.

Which bastard said King Sejo defiled his daughters-in-law?

His Majesty, the King, is coming!

You!

Are you saying that King Sejo raped King Deokjong's concubines?

If that's the case, King Sejo also defiled

King Deokjong's queen, Soo Bin?

Grandmother!

This bastard is saying that you got together with your father-in-law,

and wrote an official record!

I will beat him to death today,

and clear your name, Grandmother!

Ja Won! Yes your majesty.

How terrible!

Your Highness, even if he is a king,

he can't read the official historical record at will.

King Sejo was not this kind of person!

That he defiled King Deokjong's concubines?!

Not only that,

he compared Great King Sejo to Xiang Yu who murdered King Huai.

It also says that he even made the one who attempted assassination of Sejo a loyal subject!

Your Highness, the official historical record

could have different point of view based on who wrote it.

Be quite! Does that even make sense?

If it's wrong, of course it needs to be fixed.

His Majesty has set up a torture site,

and interrogating Kim Il Son personally.

The after effect of that could spread--

We have to find out.

Who instigated Kim Il Son writing such a rebellious record to the Chronicles of Seongjong.

We must find who's behind and rectify the situation.

Can't you tell the truth?

Which bastard said King Sejo

defiled the Deokjong's concubines?

Did you see with your own eyes

whether great King Sejo

defiling Deokjong's concubines?

Whether you saw King Sejo

raping his daughters-in-law! If that scene

was witnessed with your eyes.

I asked if you saw it!

Did you see it?

This jerk is planning on committing a suicide by biting off his tongue.

Huh? Before you do that,

before then, die in my hands.

From Heo Ban...

I heard it from Heo Ban.

I heard it.

Grandmother.

Finally, he is telling the truth.

I will twist his legs and

prove your innocence, grandmother.

This jerk...

Who said King Sejo

defiled Deokjong's concubine, Yoon So Eun?

I've heard that from Heo Ban as well.

- Look here! - Yes!

- Arrest Heo Ban right away. - Yes.

Ja Won.

The high officials of Royal Investigation Bureau and Six Ministries...

summon them all right away.

In front of the loyal cabinet members,

I will reveal treason.

Trea... Did you say treason?

Of course! It is treason.

If this isn't a treason, what is?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Bastard!

You know...

While reading the official record you wrote,

do you know when I felt most furious about?

When the scholar bastards

when you guys

were very adamantly against the fact that Prince Nosan (King Deokjong) was wrongfully killed by King Sejo

and pitied him.

But for my mother who was unjustly dethroned and exiled from the palace

and in the end forced to receive the death tonic

For her! My mother

you did not record a single line!
