Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 455
Only Noblemtl
455. For the Nation (6)
The warrior standing in front of Gaju continued speaking without even catching his breath.
“My lord, I think you should come out and see.”
“What’s going on?”
“A person came out of the palace.”
“Did you just say it was the palace?”
Peng Kang-wi’s eyebrows twitched.
If the Holy Land were to come down from the palace, it would clearly be a bad thing rather than a good thing.
The reason was simple.
This is because the political world of the imperial palace was such that decisions about punishments were always made more quickly than rewards.
There was no way that the award for stabilizing Hebei Province would have been handed out yet.
In that case, an unexpected disaster could have struck Habukpangga.
The guard nodded again.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Guide me.”
“That… … . They should have already arrived here. They are Eunuch Seo from my class and Kang Yu-chan from the Royal Guard, whom you know. How could they both come so quickly?”
“Eunuch Seo… … .”
It was a time when Peng Kang-wi was increasingly becoming anxious.
Peng Kang-wi glanced at Han Bin and winked.
It meant to ask if you knew anything.
Hanbin shook his head slightly and answered.
* * *
Peng Kang-wi, who had gone out of Gajujeon, opened his eyes wide at the procession of his classmates and the royal guard.
The most striking thing was the palanquin at the back.
The palanquin carried by four porters was covered with red silk, with the upper part bulging out.
Its shape was just like a dog’s head.
Peng Kang-wi examined the complexions of his classmates and the warriors of the Golden Guard.
Everyone had a serious expression on their face, it seemed like something had really happened.
“What the heck… … .”
Peng Kang-wi swallowed dry saliva with a worried look on his face.
But now was not the time to worry about that.
Peng Kang-wi quickly knelt down towards the golden scroll that Kang Yu-chan was holding.
“We uphold His Majesty’s holy ground. Hurray, hurray, hurray!”
When Peng Kang-wi bowed, the Peng family members behind him followed suit.
As the cheers of “Manse” rang out like a round song in front of Gajujeon, Kang Yu-chan coughed in vain and unfolded the scroll.
“Hmm, now I will convey to you Your Majesty the Holy Land… … .”
Kang Yu-chan read the Holy Land.
At first, soulless sentences that seemed to have been written by a palace scholar flowed out smoothly.
Even Kang Yu-chan, who was reading the Holy Land, was secretly surprised at how long the sentence was.
Kang Yu-chan, who had been reading for a long time, had his eyes sparkling.
“I hereby bestow upon Peng Ga of Habuk the title of Wei Guo, for his meritorious service to the people and his merit in stopping the forces that sought to undermine the country… … .”
At one word, Peng Kang-wi opened his eyes wide.
What kind of titles can a martial artist receive?
The first is the defense of the country.
The title of Su-guk was given to a family that sent volunteers when an enemy invaded.
Habukpengga received this title two hundred years ago.
Habukpengga was not originally Habuk.
Originally, it was a martial arts family located in Gangnam.
However, in order to block the enemies coming from the north, the head of the household and all his family members moved to Gangbuk.
At that time, Peng Ga was granted the title of Su Guk and received funds to build a house and foundation in Hebei.
It can be said that the title of the hydrangea is the driving force that created the current Habuk Pengga.
The title of Boguk (保國) is one level higher than that of Suguk (保國).
The standard for receiving the title of Patriot was sacrifice.
If there are more than ten people in a family who have sacrificed themselves for the country, they are given the title of Boguk.
In other words, it was a title that was given only to those who made sacrifices that would lead to the extinction of their family.
Of course, the support that comes with that title is beyond imagination.
We will not spare our support until the family is back on its feet.
Next was the title of Wei Guo.
There was only one family in the martial arts world that received this title.
That place was the Shin Chang Yang Ga in Shanxi.
The Shin Chang Yang family was a family that was acknowledged by everyone to be loyal to the core.
Except for the Shin Chang Yang family, all families that received the title of Wi Guk were founding fathers.
A family that receives the title of Weiguk will soon be treated on a level similar to royalty.
It was said that attacking a family that had been given the title of great nation was the same as attacking the country.
Peng Kang-wi’s eyes grew wide to their limit.
Then Kang Yu-chan continued speaking.
“It is a special reward for the four Confucius of Pengga, his teacher, Jeokryong Daehyeop, and Cheongun Sashin… … .”
In that moment, Peng Kangwei’s eyes grew even bigger.
In fact, what Peng Kang-wi knew about Han Bin was only a part.
But when the Holy Land was mentioned, my head started spinning.
Of course, it was dizziness caused by overwhelming emotions, not worry.
At that time, Kang Yu-chan folded the golden scroll.
widely.
Then he handed the scroll over to Peng Kang-wi.
Kneeling, Peng Kangwei respectfully accepted the scroll.
The head of the law enforcement unit, Peng Dae-wi, who was at the back, quickly received the scroll and carefully placed it in a box prepared in advance.
When the head of the law enforcement agency, Pang Dae-wi, put the holy land in the storage box and closed the lid, Pang Gang-wi only then did he get up.
At that moment, Eunuch Seo, who was next to Kang Yu-chan, looked back and nodded.
At the same time, four porters come forward carrying a huge object.
As they stopped, Kang Yu-chan took out the red silk.
Whirlyrick.
When the silk was removed, a dazzling golden signboard appeared inside.
There, the words ‘For the Nation’ were written with majesty.
Peng Kang-wi, who saw the signboard, knelt down again.
It was clear that the character “Wei Guo” was written by the emperor himself.
Even if that wasn’t the case, it would have been right to set an example once more.
After that, those who came out of the palace personally hung a signboard that said “Weiguk” on Gajujeon.
Since everything was done according to the palace rules, this process took two hours to complete.
After all the procedures were over, Kang Yoo-chan finally let out a sigh and lightly gave a prize to Peng Kang-wi.
“Phew, it took this long because the palace etiquette is strict, my lord.”
“No. I’m just taken aback by the unexpected. Please come inside for now.”
“Okay, let’s talk about the rest inside.”
“Then this way… … .”
Peng Kang-wi raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the guest room.
* * *
After a while, Peng Kang-wi opened his eyes wide after hearing the general situation in the reception room.
It was truly absurd.
I thought the title of great nation was excessive, but every result has a cause.
The events leading up to the title of Great King were a complete mess.
It was something to do with classmates.
Dongchang had to make a choice to cut ties with Sanghyo.
It was a distortion of this incident.
If you want to distort, you have to choose one of the two.
It was either to minimize the incident and cover it up, or to exaggerate the incident and make it seem dozens of times bigger.
The problem was that the Mangun Bridge, which had been intact for hundreds of years, was cut off.
Covering up the incident with this one thing is a long shot.
They had no choice but to exaggerate the incident.
It was reported to the emperor that the Murim family had prevented the country from being overturned.
The incident was exaggerated from Hebei to the entire Central Plains.
After that, they worked on creating light to erase the shadows.
It was to make the martial arts world that saved the country into heroes.
The story goes that the martial arts world took the lead in preventing the country’s danger, and the Geumuiwi and Dongchang followed behind.
It is said that during this agreement, the King received one of his classmates’ weaknesses.
Peng Kang-wi, who was listening to the explanation, couldn’t help but let out exclamations.
“That’s what happened. They say that there’s a frog in a well, and I guess that’s exactly what our Pengga is like.”
“How can you say such a thing? Go.”
“It’s so great that something like that happened without us even knowing… … . Hmm, this time it was a blessing, but doesn’t that mean that misfortune can come silently as well?”
“Think positively. Since he has received the title of Weiguo, no one will dare to touch Habukpengga.”
“thank you.”
“by the way…….”
Kang Yu-chan looked back.
The two gold guardsmen at the back quickly approached.
They placed the swords they were holding on the table.
Knock. Knock.
After two sounds, two swords were placed side by side.
In an unexpected situation, Peng Kang-wi’s expression changed dramatically.
An expression that doesn’t tell whether it’s good or bad.
Kang Yu-chan quickly continued speaking.
“This is the award that His Majesty has bestowed upon Jeokryong Daehyeop and Cheongunsashin.”
“Why are you giving this to me… … .”
“If you tell the Fourth Prince, he will take care of it.”
Kang Yu-chan chuckled.
He also had a difficult time explaining the Blue Cloud Envoy and the Red Dragon Swordsman in the palace.
Thanks to Hanbin’s explanation, Kang Yu-chan knew that Cheongunsashin and Jeokryongdaehyeop were fictional characters.
But this was a secret between just the two of them.
The moment you say this in the palace, the focus becomes blurred.
In times of chaos, heroes must emerge.
I don’t think the Emperor wanted his identity to be revealed.
Because of this, the palace officials were worried about what kind of rewards they should give to the Cheongun Envoy and the Jeokryong Daehyeop, and how to convey them.
The conclusion was simpler than expected.
It was to present this award to their predecessor, Prince Sa.
Peng Kang-wi asked cautiously after seeing Kang Yu-chan’s expression.
“What on earth are those two swords, sir?”
“My lord, don’t be surprised. … … By any chance, have you ever heard of the Blue Sword and the Red Sword?”
“By any chance, during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors era, it was called a famous sword… … .”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s also called the Jinsa Twin Swords. It’s one of the Seven Great Swords of the Martial Arts, as mentioned by martial artists.”
“her.”
As Peng Kang-wi took a deep breath, Kang Yu-chan continued speaking.
“It’s still too early to be surprised.”
After finishing speaking, Kang Yu-chan took out an envelope from his bosom.
Kang Yu-chan placed the envelope in front of Pang Kang-wi.
Peng Kang-wi held the envelope and looked at Kang Yu-chan with a bewildered expression.
I didn’t know who to give this to or if they should open it.
If it weren’t for the palace but any other group, Peng Kang-wi would have just been completely exposed.
But isn’t the imperial palace to live by etiquette and die by etiquette?
Peng Kang-wi was cautious, thinking that his small mistake should not ruin the feast day.
Then Kang Yu-chan continued speaking.
“The one in that temple is a portrait of the Four Confuciuses. You may check it out now.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Peng Kang-wi opened the envelope, checked the contents, and read in a low voice.
“Change Man-geun-gyo to Pyeong-ga-gyo… … .”
“It is written there. His Majesty ordered that the bridge be rebuilt so that it can withstand not ten thousand pounds, but a million pounds, and that it be named Pengga Bridge after Pengga. And as you can see, the second is the nickname given by the Emperor, ‘Weilong.’ Lastly… … .”
Kang Yu-chan, who was continuing to speak, trailed off slightly.
Because even he himself thought the last prize was a little strange.
It was an admission permit to Yulim Seowon.
If the world of warriors is called Murim, the world of Confucian scholars is often called Confucianism.
Here, Yulim Seowon was an institution that fostered talented individuals with both literary and martial arts skills under the protection of the royal family.
And the best Confucian institution at the time was Yulim Seowon.
If you wanted to be promoted in the palace, you had to go to Confucian Academy.
From the royal family to the children of high-ranking officials.
This was literally the place where all the children of those in power gathered.
It was a place that scholars who wanted to advance to the center could not enter even if they wanted to.
It was supposed to be a promised land for those who wanted to advance to public office.
Besides that, there was only one case of admission to Yulim Seowon.
