Chapter 13: Those Who Wait
“… … .”
The young emperor stood there blankly, then shook his head and came to his senses.
“Your Majesty.”
He asked Prime Minister Kang Sang.
“Is it really possible to appoint Yeongwi as the Eunuch of Rites?”
Prime Minister Kang Sang answered immediately.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“… … .”
The emperor was speechless.
moment.
There were so many words about to burst out that I didn’t even know what to say first.
“Your Majesty! Absolutely not!”
There was a scene that came to the mind of the young emperor with his eyes closed.
“Please contact me!”
“Please contact me!”
Every time the emperor tries to do something.
The sight of countless eunuchs kneeling and unanimously expressing their opposition.
Every move.
Even the smallest decisions.
“It is not a matter for Your Majesty to decide directly.”
Never.
The appearance of Gongsun Taerang, the eunuch of the court, which the emperor would not allow to happen on his own.
“This kind of thing. Please leave it to me, Gongsun Taerang. Your Majesty.”
Eunuchs are, by nature.
The closest servants who assist and serve the emperor.
But rather.
All the privileges and powers given to the eunuchs for that role had been entangled with the Emperor himself.
“The eunuch’s words are the words of Your Majesty.”
During those long years since his accession to the throne.
The most decisive reason why the young emperor had no choice but to act as a puppet.
“How dare you! You are trying to give your advice directly to His Majesty, leaving me, a eunuch, behind in this palace?!”
Case study.
The leader of the eunuchs.
The Emperor’s closest attendant and de facto representative.
Before the current eunuch Gongsun Tairang existed, there was Gongsun Nagang, also known as the Old Demon.
The emperor never once.
I have never received any help from people called eunuchs.
however.
“… that place.”
It meant that I could get that seat back.
And not just by getting it back, but by receiving it from the subject who was most loyal to him.
“The eunuch’s reign…?”
The same question was repeated in the young emperor’s mouth.
but.
Prime Minister Kang Sang was able to answer with a smile because he himself enjoyed answering the question.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
He added.
“Then, now, Your Majesty, you will have one of the heaviest chains that has ever been tied around your ankles removed, and at the same time, you will have a wing on your back.”
“… … .”
A thrill coursed through the Emperor’s body from the tips of his toes.
And that pleasure reached the emperor’s heart and ignited it like fire.
“… … .”
The emperor placed his hand on his chest.
The pounding of my own heart felt unfamiliar.
It was as if I had come back to life.
From my powerfully beating heart, hot passion and enthusiasm suddenly rose to the top of my head.
“Okay, let’s do it.”
‘Huh…?’
Kang Sang is at this moment.
One more time.
I couldn’t help but be amazed at the emperor’s gaze and his aura, which changed as if he was shedding his skin.
It’s amazing how one person can change so rapidly.
Those long years.
It was such an incredible feat that even he, who had served as prime minister under several emperors and had accumulated a great deal of experience, was surprised and impressed.
“Ha, but Your Majesty…!”
Only then did the old eunuch Yingwei come to his senses and spoke in a panic to the young emperor.
“A eunuch, huh?!”
He raised his voice without realizing it, then looked around in surprise.
But unlike usual.
Even though he has reached a certain level of spirituality, he doesn’t feel even a single ant around him.
“Don’t worry.”
Prime Minister Kang Sang smiled at the old eunuch and shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t know about the future, but at this very moment, there is no crazy person in this palace who would dare to spy on His Majesty the Emperor.”
If it were original.
But the old eunuch Yeongwi should have felt more proud of that fact than the emperor.
He didn’t have time to worry about it now.
“This is nonsense, Your Majesty…! I am just a mere warrior. How can you entrust such a heavy responsibility to someone like me…?!”
“management….”
He was staunchly opposed to it.
“The current eunuch, Gongsun Taerang, is a very terrible person, and I would be the first to welcome his expulsion with open arms. However, in terms of political power, I am not even close to his…!”
He shook his head again and again.
“There must be someone in the palace who is far more capable than me and more suited to that important position, so please, take those words back, Your Majesty…!”
He opposed the appointment so vehemently, but rather.
“… … .”
Prime Minister Kang Sang, who was watching him, felt that he liked him even more.
‘A person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons of a task, is humble compared to his abilities, and above all, knows himself well.’
On top of that, he has single-minded loyalty to the emperor.
“Absolutely not, Your Majesty…!”
“Hmm… .”
Prime Minister Kang Sang stroked his chin and tried to bring out the words he had prepared to persuade the old eunuch, who was as stubborn as he was honest, for the young emperor.
but.
Before Prime Minister Kang Sang could even think properly, there was someone who spoke first.
“management.”
It was a young emperor.
“Yes, yes. Your Majesty…!”
As Yeongwi quickly lowered his head, the young emperor continued speaking in a soft tone.
“In the past. When my father, the former emperor, was alive, I asked him a question.”
The emperor imitated his own speech when he was a child.
“‘Abama, what qualities are necessary for a eunuch, and what kind of person should be appointed?’ Then my father, the late emperor, said to me,
“It’s not difficult. When that time comes, there will be many people around you.”
“Are you saying that we can leave the personnel matters up to them?”
“no.”
The Emperor knelt down and spoke to the young emperor at his eye level.
“When that time comes, you will know naturally.”
The young emperor’s voice, imitating the former emperor’s voice, resembled the former emperor’s.
“Someone you can tell your darkest secrets to without hesitation. Someone who can listen to your most trivial stories. Someone who can always be there for you, on your side. And someone who can speak to you more directly than anyone else.”
The Emperor raised one finger.
“There is no need for other complicated qualities or difficult qualifications. Just one thing.”
The young emperor looked straight at the old eunuch Yingwei and said.
“The person you can trust the most. That person is your eunuch.”
“… … !”
Tutuk.
Tears flowed from the eyes of the old eunuch, Yeongwi.
It seemed like all the hard times I had spent with the Emperor were melting away and flowing down as tears.
“your majesty…!”
The young emperor smiled brightly and spoke to him, who was at a loss for words.
“Can’t you do it like this?”
Instead of answering, the old eunuch Young-Wi knelt down and shouted.
“I am so grateful…!”
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!
A loud voice burst from the old eunuch’s mouth and echoed throughout the palace.
“Please take care of me in the future, Youngwi.”
The young emperor personally raised him up and called for his prime minister, Jiang Shang.
“Your Majesty.”
“… Yes, Your Majesty.”
Prime Minister Kang Sang answered, trying to hide the stinging feeling in his nose, and the young emperor smiled and asked him.
“What is the first step I should take?”
Prime Minister Kang Sang rubbed the tip of his nose and smiled faintly.
“The first procedure has already been started by Grand Master Yeon So-hyeon.”
“Your Majesty said…?!”
The emperor’s eyes widened.
* * *
“I?!”
A sharp voice, neither male nor female, burst out as if breaking through the numerous walls of a luxurious mansion.
“Are you telling me to step down from my position as eunuch?!”
There couldn’t be anyone in this mansion who didn’t know that voice.
Because he is the owner of this mansion.
It was because he was a polite person.
“Don’t talk nonsense! Don’t talk nonsense!”
Wow!
Debris from the broken table scattered in all directions.
“… Tsk tsk.”
but.
Even in the midst of Gongsun Taerang’s fury, the person sitting across from him did not even blink an eye.
Instead, he clicked his tongue.
That was because he was the old demon Gongsun Nagant.
“That table was made by a famous craftsman from Persia, and I had a hard time obtaining it… ”
“Stop talking nonsense…!”
Boom!
Gongson Taerang kicked away the remains of the table and lunged forward towards Norma, growling.
“Wasn’t our promise different from the beginning…?! If I get information from the heads of the sixteen families, I-!”
“Ugh… .”
Norma cut him off with a sigh.
“Aren’t the people who were trying to extract information dead now?”
“… … ?!”
Gongson Taerang’s eyes shook with surprise.
“you….”
He asked in a trembling voice.
“What is your relationship with the Dark Heavenly Lord?”
“What kind of relationship is it? It’s not a relationship at all.”
Norma Gongson Nagant shrugged her shoulders calmly and answered.
“How could this sinful old man know of a divine being who would punish him?”
“No, no, no.”
Gongson Taerang waved his finger fiercely.
“Even I can’t even step out of the mansion right now. The same goes for other powerful people, but how can someone as infamous as you, Norma, go out so calmly?”
“… … .”
It was last night that the Dark Heavenly Lord stirred and turned the zodiac upside down.
The powerful were hiding in the deepest recesses of the mansion, not even thinking of showing their faces outside the front door.
“That can’t be. A person like you. A person who values only his own life in the world. That can’t be.”
Gongsun Taerang spoke with confidence.
“You. What the hell do you know?”
“… Tsk.”
Gongsun Nagang clicked his tongue.
“You fool. Just take it easy. If you insist on taking the difficult path, I won’t stop you.”
“What is that-?”
Squeak.
The door opens.
“If you want to choose a difficult path, you should let you choose it.”
“… … ?!”
Clearly, it was an unfamiliar voice to Gongson Taerang.
but.
Gongson Taerang seemed to know who the owner of that voice was.
“… Yeon So-hyeon.”
“… … .”
Yeon So-hyeon’s face was unusually pale compared to usual, so much so that she looked like a ghost appearing from the shadows in broad daylight.
“Gongsun Nagang.”
“… … ?!”
Gongson Taerang couldn’t help but doubt his own eyes and ears.
It was surprising that Yeon So-hyeon calmly called Gongsun Na-gang by his name.
“Yes, go ahead.”
I had never seen that monstrous Norma Gongson Nagant treat someone so politely in my life.
‘What the heck…?!’
Gongson Taerang’s eyes shook violently.
“Start seizing all of the assets of the Gongsun family.”
“… … !”
When Norma Gongson Nagant heard those words, her eyes widened.
“What do you mean…?!”
“okay.”
Yeon So-hyeon nodded slowly.
“The time has come for you to return to the position of head of the Gongsun family.”
“… … !”
at las…!
Norma Gongson Nagant’s body trembled with joy.
How long have you been waiting?
How I had longed for this day, trapped in Bukmangsan (北邙山) in Luoyang.
It is time to get everything back from his adopted son, Gongsun Taerang, who betrayed and imprisoned him.
“Your, Your Highness! Thank you-!”
“Gongsun Nagang.”
Yeon So-hyeon cut off Noma Gongson Nagant’s words and looked at him with cold eyes.
The coldness of those eyes made Gongson Taerang’s spine, who was watching from the side, feel like it was freezing.
“Ma, please speak.”
Norma Gongson Nagant could not meet her eyes and bowed his head deeply.
‘What the heck is this…?’
Gongsun Taerang began to tremble without realizing it as the unbelievable sight unfolded continuously.
“Don’t forget.”
Yeon So-hyeon’s icy voice rang in their ears.
“What you have once lost can always be lost again.”
“Oh, of course!”
In a word, perhaps feeling that it was insufficient, Norma Gongson Nagant repeated his pledge.
“I will definitely keep that in mind…!”
“… … .”
Stay still.
Yeon So-hyeon, who had been staring at Noma Gongson Nagant for a long time, waved her hand and pushed him away.
“good.”
“Yes, yes! Your Highness!”
Norma Gongson Nagant closed the door in an instant and disappeared.
“… … .”
It was the first time that Gongsun Taerang saw Norma Gongsun Nagant looking so frightened.
The adoptive father whom he had betrayed and pushed away, but whom he could never help but fear.
And the being he fears so much, Yeon Soo-hyeon.
“… … .”
Thud thud.
Yeon So-hyeon was seen approaching and sitting at the top seat for Ga-ju without permission.
Gulp.
Gongsun Taerang was unable to protest and had to swallow dry saliva as he stood there staring at the sight.
“… … .”
The reason why Norma Gongson Nagant, who had sinned more deeply than anyone else and should not have dared to wander around, was able to visit this mansion calmly.
The person that Norma, who seemed to be unafraid of the world, was afraid of.
and.
What a coincidence.
Amcheonjonja, who appeared at the time when the emperor and Yeonso Hyeon visited the Min family.
Everything fit into Gongson Taerang’s head.
“All of you…!”
“okay.”
Yeon So-hyeon smiled with a pale face.
“I am the Dark Heavenly Lord.”
