Taejonbirok Volume 13 Episode 24
Chapter 77: The Lazy Man, Appearance (4)
“What happened?”
“That, that…….”
Nokki said with a distorted face.
“You can definitely stop Wei Yanhu from entering the palace, right? If necessary, you can kill him. I told you in advance, didn’t I?”
“Of course. One…….”
"one?"
When Nokki's face distorted, Yeong-ban was startled and lowered his head to the floor.
“I’m sorry, but there is no way to touch Wei Yanhu.”
“What does that mean?”
“From the moment Wei Yanhu entered Beijing, Li Wangye has never left Wei Yanhu’s side. In order to eliminate Wei Yanhu, we must attack where Li Wangye is.”
“That son of a bitch.”
Nokki grabbed Taesa's hand tightly.
Even Nok-gi acknowledged that Lee Wang-ya was a man of character. It was also because there was such a great person in this rotten royal family that the royal family was still maintained.
From his perspective of trying to manipulate the royal family as he pleased, he was an enemy that had to be defeated, so he was able to clearly see his greatness.
one…….
If Lee Wang-ya had not been born as the son of the emperor, would he have been able to wield the same influence as he does now? Just because they were born as the offspring of a queen, a prime minister, and a prince, they start off with an indescribable advantage.
The green dragon that had crawled up from the bottom did not like this aspect of Lee Wang-ya. If he were not a royal, he would have admired him with a pure heart, but because he was a royal, he could not fully acknowledge his abilities.
“Are you saying that it is impossible to break in?”
“It is possible.”
"however?"
“……But if your whereabouts are discovered, wouldn’t the backlash be too strong? Furthermore, if you look at the situation calmly, it is impossible for anyone in the world to infiltrate Wei Yanhu’s quarters, eliminate him without being caught, and then leave.”
“Umm…….”
Nokki nodded quietly. That was certainly true.
'That little bastard… … .'
It is certain that the young man named Wi Yeon-ho is still immature, but in terms of military power, he is one of the best in the world.
“So what is he doing now?”
“……It seems like he’s preparing to enter the palace.”
The melting was becoming uncomfortable.
“Are you saying you’ll leave me alone?”
“It seems that King Yi Wang-ya intends to take Wi Yeon-ho in his carriage. King Yi Wang-ya’s royal concubine is also preparing to enter the palace.”
"so?"
“……Eunuch, you cannot attack the Imperial Palace. Furthermore, the Imperial Palace of the Censor-General was given by His Majesty himself. Attacking such an Imperial Palace is tantamount to committing treason.”
“I said that I couldn’t stop him from coming to Beijing, so I told them to just stop him from entering the palace. But are you saying that you can’t even do that?”
“Please kill me!”
The melting distorted his face.
'Wei Yanho, Wei Yanho… … .'
Nothing ever went right where that name was heard. And then that thing finally appeared before him.
It was a meltdown that could not have been pleasant, as it seemed to mean the destruction of the carriage itself.
"good night."
Nokki fanned his face a few times. Then he opened his mouth with a slightly calmer expression.
“That’s strange. If he were to officially enter the palace, he wouldn’t be able to ride in the imperial palace. That means…….”
Nokki smiled bitterly.
“Now then, now that you’ve come to the end, you’re making a mistake. Have you forgotten that going down the wrong path will inevitably lead to disaster?”
Nokgi, who had been muttering and giggling to himself, turned his head and gave an order to Yeongban.
“Prepare the carriage and official uniform.”
"yes?"
“I’m entering the palace. The time has come.”
The melting pot rose from its seat.
“Eunuch, what do you think?”
“There is no time to talk.”
Nokki waved his hand and interrupted Yeongban's words, smiling darkly.
“I made a mistake. He is not the type of person you should try to stop in this way. It is impossible to deal with him in terms of military strategy, considering his strengths. He cannot be dealt with by force. He is someone you should deal with with strategy, not force.”
“You are right.”
“Even though he is a living being, the palace is my territory. I must make him realize what it means to enter it. Tell the Emperor. Prevent him from meeting me until I get there.”
The green one walked forward.
'You showed your weakness in front of this green light… … You'll regret it later.'
***
“Is this the palace?”
“Yes.”
“It’s a bit disappointing.”
"disappointment?"
“Yes. I thought the walls were made of gold because it was where the emperor lived. But it just feels like a large hall, and I don’t really feel like there’s anything special about it.”
“Tsk tsk tsk.”

Yi Wang-ya clicked his tongue at Wi Yeon-ho's words.
“Don’t you know that the more luxurious the place where the emperor lives, the more difficult it becomes for the people? Since so many civil and military officials come and go, it is inevitable that the size of the palace will increase, but it is something that should be avoided to make the palace itself extravagant. From Taejo on…….”
“Yes, yes, I listened to your good words.”
The back of my neck feels sore.
'Let's be patient.'
Lee Wang-ya ground his teeth.
The reason he was able to fight with Wi Yeon-ho all this time was because the people around him were people who were okay with him showing that kind of behavior.
Those who are completely impressed by his majesty and never let a word out, or those who have nothing to do with him and so whatever they say has no effect on him.
But now it's different.
He is heading to the palace with Wei Yanho in his carriage. What if the people entering the palace on the same road or the people of luxury surrounding the palace see him fighting with a child who is not even his son?
'That's terrible.'
Yi Wang Ya shook his head. This was not something that could be resolved by his dignity falling to the ground. The imperial dignity would be thrown to the ground.
Although Lee Wang-ya was usually easygoing and tried not to show off his dignity, he was not so stupid as to not be able to distinguish between smearing his face and the collapse of the imperial dignity.
“Stop sticking your head outside!”
“I told you it was stuffy.”
“Okay, then put your head in!”
"if……."
Wi Yeon-ho asked with slightly moist eyes.
“Are you embarrassed by me?”
“Do I really need to explain that in words?”
“Tch.”
Wi Yeon-ho sat down with a slump in his seat and made a sullen face. Lee Wang-ya felt miserable as he watched the scene.
'Is this really okay?'
Although Moon Yu-hwan strongly insisted on it and he had no choice but to follow his wishes, he was still negative about having the emperor and Wei Yan-ho face each other.
'It's so different.'
People usually become close to each other through a sense of homogeneity and develop feelings of affection for each other. There are other cases, but in most cases, it is important to get along well with each other. However, in Lee Wang-ya’s view, Wei Yan-ho and the emperor were fundamentally different people.
“Can I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
“That… you said that that bastard Nokki was clouding His Majesty’s eyes.”
"yes."
“But why does the old man just leave that green guy alone?”
“Just leave it alone! Can’t you see that I’m doing everything I can to catch and kill that guy?”
“That’s what I don’t understand. Why don’t we just catch them and kill them? I don’t think that’s impossible with your martial arts skills.”
“Okay.”
Yi Wang Ya groaned. It was difficult to explain to this naive guy where and how to start and where.
'Why would this guy be interested in something like this?'
“He enjoys Your Majesty’s favor.”
“Yes, yes, I know that. I heard that His Majesty has strange tastes and that he employs eunuchs.”
“Hey! Where the hell are you talking nonsense!”
When Yi Wang-ya shouted with a fierceness like frost, even the great Wei Yan-ho flinched.
“It is fine to tease me and be rude. If you try to deceive His Majesty with your foolish tongue one more time, I will do whatever it takes to tear your tongue out.”
“……Tch.”
Wi Yeon-ho asked back, his voice cracking.
“Do you really have to do that for someone who doesn’t even trust his brothers and only likes eunuchs?”
“It’s not that you don’t trust your brother. It’s that you don’t trust him because he’s your brother.”
“No, what is that?”
Lee Wang-ya sighed.
“It may not be easy for you to understand. Let me tell you one thing. It is not Your Majesty’s fault for not promoting me. On the contrary, it is a great thing that He has kept me alive.”
"yes?"
“……When you meet His Majesty, you will know how much suffering he is in.”
“Umm…….”
The face of Yi Wang-ya as he spoke looked so bitter that even Wi Yeon-ho could no longer argue with him.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Speak.”
“What on earth do you believe in me that makes you want to bring me face to face with Your Majesty?”
"……yes?"
“No matter how much I think about it, I just can’t understand it. I’m not some kind of panacea, and what difference would it make if I met His Majesty the Emperor? All I can do is show off my skills in front of him, but I don’t think that will make anything special.”
“Me too.”
“If you tell me honestly, I will do so.”
"plainly?"
“So all this happened because of that guy called Nokki.”
"yes……."
“But, Your Majesty, you can’t just kill that guy named Nokgi out in front of everyone, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then I can just kill him.”
"……hmm?"
Lee Wang-ya opened his eyes wide.
“No matter how much I think about it, it seems like that’s all you can ask of me. If you just bring it around a little, I’ll take care of that green thing.”
“This guy!”
Iwangya opened his mouth wide and then closed it again.
'Not a bad idea.'
Even if it was Lee Wang-ya who brought Wi Yeon-ho into the palace, it would be difficult to hold him responsible unless Lee Wang-ya himself had personally intervened. As a member of the royal family, he had a great deal of authority.
“Then what are you going to do?”
“Hehe, I can run away on my own. Just take good care of my family. Well, even if I go somewhere other than the Central Plains, I’m the kind of person who can eat well and live well as long as I have a place to lay down.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, you punk! You’re using that as an excuse to leave the Central Plains and have fun.”
“……You’re sharp.”
Lee Wang-ya smiled bitterly.
The fact that he felt sorry for even a moment means that he had such thoughts in his heart.
'Something that can't be done without a certain degree.'
The moment the ends justify the means, the ideal is bound to become corrupted. If he truly wanted to achieve his ends, there was nothing left for him to choose but the degree.
“Listen.”
"yes."
“I’ve accepted all your pranks so far. But not anymore.”
Lee Wang-ya said with a serious face.
“The palace is like a dragon’s den. Your family’s heads could be cut off by one word. So never let your guard down and never lose your manners.”
“Hey, you too, sir. No matter how stupid I may seem, I know that much. Who do you think is stupid?”
… … Don’t do that, Inma.
The more I went, the more anxious I became.
