Taejonbirok Volume 15 Episode 1
Chapter 83: The Lazy Man Gets an Official Position (1)
“Unrecorded history?”
"huh."
“No, history is originally written! All history is written by historians.”
“Then do you know what His Majesty the Great did ten years ago today?”
“Not in that much detail…….”
“That’s it.”
He spoke as if it was no big deal.
“History is something that is recorded and handed down. Unrecorded history cannot be called history. But can history convey everything?”
Saga kept his mouth shut.
He is a person who tells history. But there certainly was unrecorded history in the world. Isn't it their job to find the gaps in that history and leave them in writing?
“It’s difficult.”
"yes."
The Gwanggu Shingae giggled.
“Even so, Uesarani…….”
It was something that could not help but be surprising.
If you are a Ueo-sa, it is the highest rank in the Do-chal-won. It means a second-rank position.
“It’s an honorary position.”
"yes?"
“What does Wi Yeon-ho know that he would be given such a high position? The actual work was done by the Ubu Eosa.”
“No matter how honorable the position is, for Kang Ho-in to be given such a position, the late Emperor must have been very fond of Wi Yeon-ho…….”
“That’s what it looked like.”
The Gwanggu Shingae clicked his tongue.
“From our perspective, it seemed fortunate that he was not killed, but strangely enough, the late emperor cherished Wi Yeon-ho. It seemed like his perspective was a bit different from ours. In any case, Wi Yeon-ho became the U-eosa. In reality, Wang Ye prevented him from interfering with the central government. That also seemed like a really useless thing. Was Wi Yeon-ho the kind of person who would want to be involved? He would whine for more salary.”
“……That’s right.”
Saga sighed.
“Still, it’s fortunate that it’s an honorary position.”
“Then it should have been fortunate.”
"yes?"
Gwanggu Shingae let out a deep sigh.
“The honorary position means that he didn’t do anything, but it doesn’t mean that his authority completely disappeared. Even though the King prevented the Royal Family from interfering with the affairs of the royal family, how could the local officials dare to even make eye contact with U-eosa?”
“…….”
“It’s like a tiger growing wings. And… Your Majesty was a bit harsh. It didn’t end there.”
“Huh? It’s not over yet?”
“I don’t know if Your Majesty had any thoughts of his own…….”
The Gwanggu Shingae shook its head.
“That wasn’t a good idea.”
***
In fact, the position of U-Eosa is not an ordinary position.
Where is the inspection office? Isn't it a place where inspections are conducted?
That's what an inspection office is like.
It is a place where you can have power greater than the actual position you are given without any undue influence. It is a place where you investigate and interrogate crimes. Is there anyone in the world who lives without committing a crime?
There isn't any.
So, it is said that the royal inspectors of the royal court are treated like superiors by those of the same rank.
My classmate said that.
That's exactly why the Office of the Inspector General and the Office of the Inspector General were able to become the two most powerful forces in the palace. They had the right to inspect.
However, since the Dongchang fell and was integrated into the Dochalwon, the Dochalwon was now able to wield sole power. So, can you imagine how great a position the Ueo-sa of the Dochalwon was?
It's a huge deal. It's really huge… … .
huh?
Yeah, I think so too.
It's huge. In another sense, too.
It should have ended there… … I don’t know what the hell you were believing.
I know who that guy is.

“What did you eat wrong?”
“What is it?”
"……no."
Wi Jeong-han couldn't help but feel seriously distressed. What on earth should he say about this?
"Isn't it strange that something that was originally delicious is now ordinary?" you can't say.
It was true, but it wasn't easy to say it out loud.
“Even fathers don’t trust their children.”
“…….”
“I can’t act like I usually do, even in front of His Majesty the Emperor. People need to be aware of the time and place to be human.”
It was such an obvious and correct statement.

But when those words came out of Wi Yeon-ho's mouth, Wi Jeong-han had to shiver with a strange goosebumps running down his spine.
My son is telling the truth right now. Not some other guy, but my son!
What on earth should I say in this situation? Wi Jeong-han, who thought he had encountered something he couldn't handle, turned his head and asked for help. However, those who caught his eye were equally shocked.
"……oh my god!"
“There was a God.”
“I guess I should say thank goodness…….”
The response was lukewarm.
Wi Yeon-ho watched the scene quietly and then opened his mouth.
“If you look closely, it seems like you were waiting for me to have an accident. Will you live up to my expectations?”
"no!"
“Absolutely not!”
“Whoa, calm down for now.”
As the desperate response came back, Wei Yanho stuck his mouth out.
“No matter what I say, no matter what I say!”
“…….”
Wi Jeong-han kept his mouth shut.
If I think about it, shouldn't I be praising Wi Yeon-ho for not causing an accident for the first time in a long time? But then I realized that I was pushing him too hard, so I couldn't help but be speechless.
Wi Jeong-han quickly changed the subject.
“Can I go now?”
No one could answer Wei Zhenghan's words.
I attended the event because it was said to be held, but no one told me what to do after the event. I was going home, but I received a letter and came all the way to Beijing. Who would have thought about what would happen after that?
“I thought I needed to get some education first?”
"education?"
“Yes. I don’t know anything. But since I’m called the Chief of the Office of the Inspector General, I should at least know how the Office of the Inspector General… no, the Office of the Inspector General works.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
But education?
Wi Jeong-han swallowed his breath without realizing it.
Memories of the past when he poured his soul into teaching Wei Yanho, but ultimately failed, came to mind.
'Is that possible?'
Wi Jeong-han was once again able to realize the greatness of the person who was Wi Yeon-ho's teacher. Teaching Wi Yeon-ho was like teaching a fish how to walk.
I knew you could do it. And do it so well.
'Is it really a ghost and not a human?'
In times like this, I should say that he is a god, not a ghost.
Whether they are ghosts or immortals, they definitely have abilities beyond humans. But… … .
'Can Lee Wang-ya do that?'
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed impossible.
If you're not thoughtless, how could you do something so reckless?
While they were agonizing over their worries, a eunuch came running towards them.
“What a coincidence…… No!”
The eunuch suddenly came to his senses and bowed his head deeply.
“Master Udo-Eosa, Master Jwado-Eosa is calling you.”
“Left door inspector?”
When Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head, Jang Il opened his mouth.
“His Majesty the King changed his position from Chief Inspector to Chief Inspector.”
“You got demoted?”
“It’s a promotion!”
“The Left Inspector seems to have a weaker connotation than the Chief Inspector. Anyone can see that he is a demoted official…….”
“That, that…….”
Jang Il was at a loss for words for a moment. No, it's true that his tone seemed weak.
“Top positions are not titles that determine superiority.”
Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head at the eunuch's correction.
“But isn’t that usually the case?”
The eunuch looked at Wei Yanhu in confusion. Usually, no one would find fault with something like this. Having lived in the palace, accustomed to etiquette and procedures, he could not help but be confused in front of a wild animal called Wei Yanhu.
“It is His Majesty’s decision. And please lower your voice, Master U-eosa. I am of lowly status.”
“Fine. Even so, I’m not a proper censor. And my master said that even though there are adults who have eaten up their age in other ways, we should acknowledge the years they have lived and the hardships they have endured during that time. The tone of the words may sound like, ‘So, respect me,’ but what he said is true.”
The eunuch looked at Wi Yeon-ho with eyes full of absurdity.
Is this person polite or rude?
“Anyway, the Left Inspector General asked me to bring the Right Inspector General.”
“Yes. Well, I guess I should go then.”
Wi Yeon-ho nodded and followed the eunuch.
“Then I’ll be back.”
“…….”
“It doesn’t seem like there’s anything to do, so go and rest. It’ll be over soon, I guess.”
Wi Jeong-han sighed as he watched Yeon-ho follow the eunuch while waving his hand.
“In a way, that scene is the very sight of a child’s success…….”
“It was a glorious return. It wasn’t a glorious return, and I couldn’t even return to my hometown.”
“Isn’t this the highest position that Kang Ho-in has ever held? Because he is of the highest rank.”
When I think about it, it was an amazing thing.
This is truly amazing… … .
“……Why aren’t you happy?”
On the contrary, it was Wi Jeong-han who was becoming increasingly anxious.
***
“Did you call?”
Lee Wang-ya opened the door and looked at Wi Yeon-ho coming in with a trembling expression.
That guy is a swindler.
That guy!
'He said he was just going to give me a prize.'
He was filled with resentment towards the emperor who had given the enormous position of Ueo-sa to Wi Yeon-ho without consulting him.
But what can I do? It is an order given by the Emperor, the only one in heaven and earth.
Lee Wang-ya opened his mouth, suppressing his trembling heart.
“You have a position now, so you should be polite.”
“Did you say hello?”
“…….”
Yeah, let's hold on.
What can I say?
In the first place, this cannot be said to be Wei Yan-ho's fault. The problem is that he gave the title of U-eosa to someone who had no connection to the palace or official positions. What crime did Wei Yan-ho commit?
“……Close the door and come in.”
"yes."
Wi Yeon-ho answered neatly and came in and sat down.
Yi Wang-ya stared at Wi Yeon-ho for a long time before opening his mouth.
“Are you surprised?”
“A little.”
“You’re not that surprised?”
“It’s not that big of a story.”
“Isn’t that great?”
Doesn't this guy understand how enormous the position he's been given is?
It's the real deal, the real deal.
But that's not such a big deal?
Although Lee Wang-ya made a face of disbelief, Wi Yeon-ho had his own position.
“I know it is a high position, but I need to find a use for it.”
“Huh?”
“I won’t be in the palace, nor will I live in Beijing… In the end, I’ll just return home, and if I get entangled, I’ll only get entangled in the martial arts world. What good would it do for me to have such a position?”
“…….”
“I wish I had a high salary, but the truth is I don’t really need money anymore. I’ve already earned a lot of money.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. In the end, it’s just a useless apricot.”
Lee Wang-ya laughed in vain.
Even though he received a second-rank official position, he is a useless piece of shit. No one in the world could say such a thing except Wei Yanhu.
Moreover, that wasn't just a passing remark. You can tell just by looking at his face. He really thinks that way.
“I lost, you punk.”
Lee Wang-ya shook his head repeatedly.
“I cannot help but admit that meeting you was a great blessing. Thank you for your hard work. Thanks to you, I was able to resolve the crisis in the palace.”
“Why are you being so burdensome?”
Just as Lee Wang-ya was about to answer, the door opened and a person came in.
“Would you like me to make it more burdensome?”
Wi Yeon-ho looked at the emperor's smiling face and frowned.
I had a feeling things were going wrong.
