Taejonbirok Volume 2 Episode 4
Chapter 10 – The Censor (1)
“Get up!”
Wi Yeon-ho was troubled.
'Should I just get up? That girl won't back down easily even if I keep making a fuss here. No. But let's pretend like she hasn't gotten up yet and hold out a little longer. Then she might just go. Even if she doesn't go, the amount of time she'll hold out… … .'
At that moment, cold water poured down on Wei Yanhu’s face.
“Khaha!”
Wi Yeon-ho threw off the blanket and jumped up from his seat.
Then, bone-chilling cold water was poured all over the bed.
"what are you doing!"
Moon Eun-ji, who was looking at Wi Yeon-ho with a proud expression while holding a large bucket, opened her mouth with a slight smile.
“Because it doesn’t happen.”
Wi Yeon-ho responded curtly to that refreshing smile.
“Isn’t it basic to recommend it at least once?”
“You’re not the type of person who would get up just because of that.”
“But how can you sprinkle water on a sleeping person’s bed?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll clean it up anyway!”
Wi Yeon-ho was busy grinding his teeth.
But Moon Ji’s words were not wrong at all. Wi Yeon-ho grumbled and took off his wet shirt.
“Why! Why again in the morning!”
Moon Eun-ji held out the clothes she had prepared with a calm expression.
“Okay, let’s change into this.”
“Oh my! Are you fully prepared?”
“Stop talking and change quickly. Your father called you.”
“The scholar of literature?”
“Yes. So get ready quickly.”
“Get ready?”
“Yes! Change your clothes and get ready! Please move quickly!”
"……really?"
“Do you want to get hit with another bucket of water before you move?”
Wi Yeon-ho shook his head with a trembling face.
“That’s not it……”
Wi Yeon-ho stared blankly at Moon Eun-ji.
Moon Ji-eun raised her voice as if she was frustrated.
"what are you doing?"
“Well, should I get ready?”
“What did you take from what I said?”
Wi Yeon-ho nodded slowly as if he had no choice.
“I’m really reluctant, but… I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Wi Yeon-ho lowered his hand and grabbed the string of his trousers.
“Whoa! What are you doing!”
“You told me to change my clothes? You told me to change, but instead of leaving, you just stand there blankly. What do you want me to do? And then you just urge me to hurry up. What can I do? By the way, I didn’t know you had such a hobby. You’re much more open-minded than I thought. I guess Yulim has changed a lot these days.”
“What are you talking about!”
Moon Ji-eun ran out of the room screaming!
bang!
The door slammed shut so roughly that it seemed as if it would break. Moon-ji leaned against the door, gasping for breath.
"really……."
The more I dealt with him, the stranger he seemed to be.
“I’m so shocked!”
Moon Eun-ji kept grumbling and raised her hand to her face. Her face was so hot it felt like it was burning.
“What do you mean, look at it again! You’re still lazy and sly! I really hate you!”
To be honest, it's true that I watched it again a little bit because of what happened yesterday.
But human nature doesn't go anywhere.
That lazy bum will never look good again.
“If you’re lazy, at least have a good personality!”
Don't be lazy.
The personality is also dirty.
Don't you just take off your clothes and throw them away anywhere?
“No matter how much I think about it, there is no good part about it.”
At that moment, a soft sound was heard from inside the room.
Moon Ji-eun felt a prickle and flinched slightly.
'huh?'
Moon Ji-eun put her ear to the door.
A low breathing sound is heard.
'I didn't hear that.'

Moon Ji-eun cleared her throat.
'Huh? Did I think I was lucky just now?'
Why is it fortunate?
Isn't that something you can say to someone's face?
Because that is the truth.
But why are you relieved that Wei Yanhu didn't hear it?
Moon Ji shook her head.
“If you get involved with that person…….”
At that moment, something passed through Moon Ji’s head.
'Low breathing?'
Moon Ji opened the door slowly.
Then I saw it.
Wei Yanho was sleeping exquisitely in the corner of the bed, soaking wet and soaking wet, the only place that wasn't wet.
The veins on Moon Eun-ji's forehead stood out.
The old man sighed.
“Well, you still haven’t changed your mind?”
Moon Yu-hwan smiled slightly and shook his head.
"sorry."
“Noki, is that why you’re doing this?”
Moon Yu-hwan did not answer.
The old man frowned as if he was frustrated.
“I can stop the melting. Don’t you know that you need to balance things out in the center so that the Emperor can gain power?”
“How could I not know that?”
“But why are you still hesitating?”
Moon Yu-hwan seemed to hesitate for a moment before answering.
“I’m not confident yet.”
“You?”
“It’s not just Melting. Of course, Melting is also scary. He’s someone who will do anything for his own purposes. It’s not easy to confront someone like that. But what makes me hesitate even more… is the fear of whether I can handle the heavy responsibility.”
“Look here……”
“I have never held an official position. I have lived my entire life in seclusion. What would I know to go to war and what would I do to assist the Emperor?”
The old man looked at Moon Yu-hwan with a bewildered expression.
“Who would dare to doubt the abilities of the great scholar Samjeol Daesa?”
“Academics aren’t everything.”
"hmm……."
“Do you not know very well that the role that Your Majesty desires from me cannot be achieved through academics alone?”
“It is also true that there is no one better than you.”
“One, I…….”
The old man sighed deeply.
“Hey, Yu-hwan.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
“Their movements these days are unusual.”
Moon Yu-hwan raised his head and looked at the old man.
The old man he knew was not a jokester.
If he's not normal, he's really not normal.
“If it were just them, I wouldn’t have asked you to do this. It’s not just them. There are some suspicious movements among the military and the literary community.”
“If you call it a seditious movement……”
Moon Yu-hwan's face hardened.
“It’s still too early to make a hasty decision. But it’s certainly true that there are movements shaking them up.”
“Do you doubt the melting, my lord?”
“It’s more of a conviction than a doubt.”
“Umm…….”
Moon Yu-hwan's face hardened seriously.
The fact that the green tea leaves blind the emperor and wield power has been a big problem since ancient times.
But isn’t what Moon Yu-hwan is saying now going beyond that scope?
“That’s hard to believe.”
Moon Yu-hwan couldn't easily believe the old man's words.
The green dragon he knew was sinister, but he was by no means stupid. If he had been stupid, he would not have been able to rise to his current position in the imperial court where nobles were rampant.
Is that kind of melting pot plotting a rebellion?
It was impossible.
Of course, with the power of melting, it might be possible to successfully carry out a rebellion.
However, if it was the Nokki that Moon Yu-hwan knew, he would not have done things so abruptly. It was Nokki’s way to do things slowly and secretly, so that by the time he realized it, he was already in a state of no return.
It is strange that others noticed that Nokki was showing signs of rebellion. If he had the ability to show such signs to others, Nokki would never have gotten to where he is now.
The old man opened his mouth in a serious voice, as if he understood Moon Yu-hwan's feelings.
“It may be hard to believe, but… it’s true. There are already people who are cooperating with him.”
"but……."
The old man nodded.
“Why do you want to ask?”
“Yes.”
Moon Yu-hwan couldn't understand.
There have been countless rebellions throughout history. But never once has a eunuch been the center of a rebellion. What would a eunuch who cannot continue the lineage do as an emperor? There have been countless cases where eunuchs became the center of power and shook the emperor.
The current Nokki also wields incredible power. What more can he gain by plotting a rebellion?
The old man sighed.
“What do you think about melting?”
“What are you talking about?”
“That’s exactly what it is. What do you think about melting?”
“Well…….”
Moon Yu-hwan answered honestly.
“Even though he is on the opposite side of the spectrum, I think he is a great person. He really came up from the bottom to get to where he is now.”
"yes."
The old man nodded.
“But by the way……”
"yes."
“Can you get to your current position simply because you are an outstanding person?”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t just look at the results, look at the process. The power struggles of the eunuchs are more terrifying than we can imagine. But isn’t it strange that the Green Dragon, who had no power at all, defeated all those great men and rose to his current position?”
Moon Yu-hwan looked at the old man.
“Well, but hasn’t the investigation into that part been completed?”
The old man nodded.
“Yes, the investigation is over. There were some people who were his enemies in the past who lost their lives in accidents, but it turned out that they had nothing to do with him.”
“Then there is no problem?”
The old man shook his head with a serious expression.
“But the timing is just right. And those who weren’t hostile to him have also suffered sudden illnesses too often. It’s as if he was trying to make his position vacant in advance.”
“It could be a coincidence.”
“I thought so too until recently. But after watching his movements recently, I started to think. I wonder if there’s someone behind him.”
“But he…….”
“I can’t say for sure. But I have a feeling it’s like that. If that’s not the case, there are too many things that can’t be explained.”
Moon Yu-hwan nodded with a heavy face.
It's something I hate to think about, but it was definitely a possibility.
“If that’s true, it’s not normal.”
“That’s right. It’s already been thirty years since Nokki entered the royal family, so it would be fair to say that he has been waiting for this moment for at least that long.”
Moon Yu-hwan let out a deep sigh.
If true, it was no ordinary thing.
“Do you have any countermeasures?”
“It’s not easy. Even the scholars are divided into factions and cannot agree on anything. How can we prepare for this? That’s why I need you. We need to unite them. That’s the only way we can fight back.”
Moon Yu-hwan knew what the old man wanted.
However, it was not easy to confront the melting. If his own life was in danger, he would have faced the melting without fail.
But he had a daughter whom he could not trade for his life, and disciples who were teaching him. Nokki was a venomous snake who could eliminate all of them without blinking an eye.
“Let me think about it a little more.”
“Help me, man.”
At that moment, a soft voice was heard from outside the room.
“Father.”
Moon Yu-hwan answered Moon Eun-ji's voice.
“Okay.”
“I brought him here.”
