Episode 186. Justification (2)

If we look at the ceremonial order alone, Gong (公) is the king (王), and above.

However, you should not swallow this whole thing. Even if the Emperor had recommended it first, it would be rat poison that would shake your reputation as a loyal subject.

‘I think I’ve become quite perceptive after going here and there according to the will of the gods… .’

It was not a good time to be receiving the peacock’s favor.

I shouted earnestly like a staunch loyal subject.

“Your Majesty, my mourning has not yet ended, and I have not even been able to properly avenge my father. How could I dare to sit on the throne in such a situation? This is truly an absurd statement.”

Then the emperor asked me back with a puzzled face.

“…Enemy? Is there something more that I don’t know?”

As of yet, only rumors have spread about Guo Jia. Nothing has been confirmed.

“Yes, Your Majesty. The general was killed by the vile scheme of Guo Jia, Cao Cao’s adviser.

And the General saw through this with his age-old wisdom and left a bloody letter full of anger in the cave. How could I seek only comfort? Please revoke my order!”

When I finished speaking and raised my gaze slightly, the emperor’s eyes looked anxious.

It seemed that I was dissatisfied with the current situation, which was not going the way I wanted it to.

I gave a rope to such an emperor.

“However, if Your Majesty’s will is so firm, how can we, the ministers, oppose it? Just depose Bokwan’s daughter and banish her far away from Gangdong. Are there any officials who would oppose this?”

Empress Fu is a hostage. The first hostage to be taken away the moment the Emperor’s will changes.

Then the ministers unanimously agreed.

“No, General!”

“How can I refuse Your Majesty’s will?”

It seemed that they had accepted this tacit agreement between me and the Emperor. As subjects, it was a situation where they had no choice but to accept it.

First of all, the title of Gong has been mentioned once. It will be easier the second time.

That’s what I was hoping for. Maybe if I were mentioned a few times like this, I would naturally rise above the Duke.

Above all, the significance of this statement was that it was suggested by the emperor himself, not something he had said under pressure from his subjects.

‘Unlike some married woman lover, I ascended to the Duke’s position at the Emperor’s suggestion. It is perfectly justified.’

***

After finishing my inspection and arriving at my family home, I headed back to Sun Ce’s funeral.

Originally, he should have been guarding Sun Ce’s funeral without fail.

However, he was forced to leave the room to discuss the disposition of the traitors and the succession of official posts.

‘There is no great man who would prey on my vacancy and do foolish things… But this kind of thing should be taken care of in advance.’

However, the news that I had inherited the title of General from Sun Ce had spread, and Yuan Ying, dressed in white mourning clothes, came over to congratulate me.

“Greetings, Confucius, no… General.”

I stared at Wonyoung with a small laugh.

“Rumors spread quickly. We received such congratulations as soon as we left the palace.”

The news reached me faster than I did, as I left the palace and headed straight for my family. Of course, I knew how the rumor spread.

The culprits were probably palace maids or eunuchs. Most of them were sent up by the royal family, so it was natural.

Won-yeong, who smiled faintly, quickly looked around to see if anyone was looking at him. It seemed that Sun Ce was in mourning, and he was worried that he would be nitpicked.

“…This is all the accumulated power of Songa. It was possible because of Songa. If it weren’t for him, it wouldn’t have been possible.”

After chatting about simple personal matters with Won-young, I soon asked what I really wanted to ask.

“So, what are Mrs. Kyo doing now?”

Finally, finally. The time for revenge had come.

On the other hand, Won-young spoke with a worried look in his eyes, perhaps realizing that my tone was unusual.

“…But while the head priest of the Gyo Gwangrok Church is quiet, your mother is making a fuss.”

“What about Jungho?”

“Second Prince, upon hearing the news of the General’s death, he cried himself to sleep and woke up repeatedly….”

“Huh…. What good would it be for a man like that to be so weak-hearted?”

What if the world falls apart just because Sun Ce is dead? I haven’t even started yet.

‘There are two more people left to take from you. Right?’

but.

Even though he was such a worthless guy, he was still my younger brother.

Even if it was just to see the child’s tearful eyes, I could show the school song a final bit of mercy. But it was up to the church father to accept it.

When night fell, I headed to the priest’s residence.

***

The priest’s reaction was hotter than expected.

“Oh, you can’t go out! Why are you coming in here?!”

I said with a wide smile on my face.

“I came to a place I shouldn’t have been, and this is a great place, but you are treating me so rudely.”

Then the priest frowned and shouted, “Eww.”

“You, you! Do you think I don’t know that you killed your husband? You were a good man until you left for the hunting competition.

But what about the ambush? What? You died from losing too much blood? Do you think I would believe that?”

“Oh, this is a deep misunderstanding. Didn’t your wife personally witness the General’s body?”

That’s right. The people of Sun Jia saw Sun Ce’s corpse, which had turned half white, and there was no evidence anywhere that I had used the male and female swords.

‘This is all because the dead guys did it.’

I continued with a refreshing smile.

“One, don’t worry. This son-in-law will cut down my enemy, Guo Jia, and present it to the spirit of the late general! But…. Madam, you should make up your mind now, right?”

How to die.

The priest was startled, as if he had understood the sentence I had not said. Then he spat out his words with a poisonous look in his eyes.

“What on earth have I prepared?”

“ha….”

If a favor continues, it will be taken as a right, not a favor. That is why you should not be polite to rude servants.

I lowered the corners of my mouth, erasing the smile completely. Then I spoke to her with a cold gaze.

“The first is to follow the deceased general to death, because I cannot forget him. In this case, I will bury you at the end of the grave. In fact, this can be seen as my last mercy toward you.”

“What, what? Why should I, who am alive and well, follow my husband to his death?!”

It seemed like that.

Power is like a mysterious drug, and those who enjoy its pleasures fear death.

But it wasn’t my business. The things she did to become the Lady of the Son family didn’t disappear.

I said this, ignoring the various tantrums of the church father.

“Secondly…. I will be punished for the crime of desecrating my mother’s funeral.

In this case, since you have tarnished the reputation of your deceased mother, the school that raised you as a swindler will also be subject to punishment. Now, choose.”

The priest, who had been glaring at me with distrustful eyes, shouted in a tone of resentment.

“Why should I die? Your husband did everything regarding your mother’s funeral! At that time, I was powerless, so are you saying I should have disobeyed your husband’s orders?”

This was also nonsense worthless.

“That’s a strange thing to say. If it was done by force, you should have felt a little sorry towards me. But you didn’t.

“Rather, you were only eager to persecute me when I was young and worsen my relationship with the late general. I have no right to say such things to you, who has not even a shred of apology.”

Then the priest glared at me fiercely, his teeth chattering and his face turning red.

She said firmly.

“I never intend to die. Unless I die when my life is over, any other death is not the death I desire.”

I answered in a feminine voice.

“Okay, if you want to take me to Jungho, then do so.”

Then a tremendous shout burst out from the priest’s mouth.

“How dare you mention that child! That child is not a child you can mess with! Above all, that child is your little brother!”

“No matter how much I hate him, that kid is your little brother! Are you planning on throwing away your brotherly love so easily?”

It was a lame excuse. Where on earth was the friendship between me and Sonho?

But what I can’t just dismiss as empty words is that the fact that I gave the priest a choice was an invisible friendship that I showed to Son-ho.

‘It would have been right to take revenge on my mother… but now that little child is bothering me… .’

I chewed over this strange feeling and said to the priest:

“So… isn’t it the fault of the woman who said she didn’t like this and didn’t like that? She rejected all of my suggestions, so how am I supposed to accept them? So I have to do as I please.”

However, I couldn’t stop my revenge. They were the ones who desecrated my mother’s funeral.

The priest glared at me with eyes as vicious as Sagal’s.

“…Does it really sound like you’re saying that you and the school song are going to end things?”

“The moment you caused an unspeakable scandal during my mother’s funeral! It was planned. On the day the general’s funeral ends, choose what to do. Will you die alone, or will you be buried with the entire Kyo family?”

With those words I left the church father’s office, and I did not forget to give a stern warning to the soldiers.

“No one is allowed to come and go privately. You are also responsible for the meals. If the maids and servants of the school come near, you must all be driven away. If anything goes wrong, I will punish you severely.”

“I will obey your orders!”

In fact, I wished that the priest would just stand firm like a stone statue. I thought that would relieve all the resentment that had built up over time.

‘After the father, the father of the king… What would be a good excuse to punish the father of the king… The excuse that he harmed the relationship between father and son? Or the excuse that he was the father of the daughter of the king? It would be good to use both excuses at the same time… .’

While I was worrying as usual, I received a secret report from Ju-tae.

When I heard the report, I burst out laughing.

“… Really? Then tell them to pretend not to do it and let him in after receiving the money. And tell them to spy on what they were talking about.”

“Yes, my lord.”

***

I was lucky.

The teacher thought so.

‘Wow, there was a soldier who benefited from our school song! Heaven is helping us!’

Of course, it was painful to spend a lot of money on bribes, but I could bear this loss.

Finally, the monk climbed over the wall and reached the lady’s residence. He opened the door and went inside.

Then the worried father with a worried look on his face was startled.

“Father? How on earth are you here?”

“…What in the world could this father not do! More importantly, how did his once beautiful face become so damaged….”

At the sound of her father’s warm voice, the priest burst into tears.

“Father… What should I do now… Baekso, it’s trying to kill me….”

Then the teacher shouted in surprise.

“Hmm? Tell me more. What do you mean?”

“They are forcing me to decide whether I will die or die with my family. If I commit suicide, I will accept it as the death of a member of the Son family, but if I refuse…

“They’re going to kill me using the unpleasant rumors that arose during Baekso’s mother’s funeral as an excuse! No, they’re threatening to drag Kyo-ga, us, and Jung-ho away… Father, what should I do?”

As the priest’s explanation continued, the monk’s face became stiff like the trunk of an old tree.

‘This is a big problem! If we’re not careful, the school song could get involved!’

If Sonso had drawn his sword… . He had to eliminate the pretext before the sword flew.

Even though she was the daughter of the priest, she could not be more precious than the family. Besides, didn’t he have another daughter?

If Son So was so intent on Kyo Ga, Kyo Ga had no choice but to bow down and ask Zhou Yu for reconciliation.

Even Son So would not be able to refuse Ju Yu’s request.

The pain of the headmaster abandoning his daughter was short-lived, and the teacher quickly reassured the wife.

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Even though she is my concubine, Admiral Zhou is my son-in-law. Would he kill me too?”

Only then did the priest feel at ease after hearing his father’s confident boast.

Meanwhile, the teacher looked at the teacher’s wife sharply as if he had made up his mind.

‘… I’m sorry. But this is for the sake of the family. I can’t let all of my family members die just because of you. Let alone when Jungho’s life is at stake!’
