Chapter 820 – 821. Madman

“Commander! The left hand and the elder have asked for an interview again.”

Gyowi Gwanwol spat out his words in a respectful manner.

“Please politely decline this time.”

Yu Joong-ki replied in a calm tone.

“Today, you have declared that you will not leave your seat until the interview is done.”

“Leave it alone, I’ll take care of it when I’m tired.”

Yoo Joong-ki continued his speech with an expression full of annoyance.

“Okay. I’ll let you know.”

Gwanwol entered the village in a respectful manner, then turned around and left.

It was necessary to carry out the order.

Kiki profit

Thud

Soon the door was completely closed.

‘…It’s annoying. Didn’t he say that he was detained at the provincial guard?’

When the door answered, Yu Joong-ki slightly frowned at him.

It was already the third day.

Even if the author asks for a conversation and goes to the golden chair.

He thought so at first, but he felt his annoyance creeping in.

‘It’s probably asking for the reinstatement of the crown prince.’

The purpose of Jwasirang was obvious.

It must be a ploy to reinstate the crown prince and keep them in check.

‘What the hell is going on… Yang Kyung.’

Yu Joong-ki began to blame Udo Eosa.

Didn’t he decide to detain high-ranking officials of the imperial family in order to prevent this situation?

But how could he leave Jwasirang, a close relative of the imperial family, alone?

Yoo Joong-gi felt annoyance rising.

It was a time when I was so upset.

Knock Knock Knock

Then someone started knocking on the office door.

“Who is it?”

Yu Joong-ki opened his mouth in an annoyed voice.

“This is Commander Hankyung. Commander.”

“Come in.”

This is profit

Soon after Yoo Jung-ki’s permission was granted, the door slowly began to open.

And a man appeared.

It was Kyo-gyo Hankyung.

“What’s going on?”

“The Crown Princess requested an interview.”

“The Crown Princess!?”

Yu Joong-ki asked him as if he was surprised.

“That’s right.”

“Nonsense…The Crown Princess…Certainly a probation officer…”

Yu Joong-ki spit out his words with a puzzled expression on his face.

From the standpoint of those in power, Crown Princess Bi was a person of interest.

She was also the closest aide to the Crown Prince, who was called Icheonja.

She possessed enormous influence, to the point where she could gather her forces at any time and revolt.

So, as soon as Yang Kyung won the judicial power, wasn’t she forcibly detained in the provincial guard?

How could she appear on top of her gold?

“It’s like… I’d like to be released from the guards.”

Lieutenant Hankyung replied with a calm expression.

And when he heard that, Yoo Jung-ki’s expression began to frown.

It was because of Yang-gyeong’s behavior that he could not understand.

‘Such a dog!’

Yoo Joong-ki swears inwardly.

This was the reason why the backlash against Yang-kyung, who handled things like a dog, soared.

“Commander…How should I…Do it? Shall I politely decline?”

Hankyung asked with a curious expression on his face.

“No, it’s done… I… I’ll try to meet him in person.”

Yu Joong-ki shook his head slightly and continued.

Her decision was different from that of Zhao Si-rang, the imperial family’s close relative.

It is not possible to issue a congratulatory order.

‘Damn it.’

Yu Joong-ki spat out a curse and moved on.

To meet the crown prince.

And Han-gyeong began to carefully follow Yu Jung-ki’s footsteps.

***********

“There’s nothing more to say. Restore the Crown Prince immediately.”

An elegant woman who overflows with her dignity, Crown Princess continued her words as she glared at Yoo Joong-ki with her cold eyes.

“It can’t be, Crown Princess. This is inevitable in order to find the culprit of Her Majesty’s assassination.”

“Are you really like this?”

The princess’s eyes began to grow even fiercer.

“If there are no charges after the investigation of the Crown Prince, can’t we release him then?”

Yu Joong-ki opened her mouth with her brooding expression on her face.

“When the hell is the investigation going to end?

“There is only difficulty in the investigation.”

“As far as I know, they couldn’t even find the evidence properly. Do you think the forcible restraint of the Golden Guard is convincing in that situation?”

“…There is no evidence…But there are witnesses.”

“Are you referring to a lowly woman named Myeongwol? That is also questionable. You, who should be loyal to the imperial family more than anyone else, are so focused on the words of a lowly court lady who tried to assassinate Your Majesty, not the words of the crown prince who inherited the imperial lineage.”

An intimidating force began to emanate from the crown prince’s body.

She displayed her dignity as the next Empress Dowager.

“It is a law to keep all possibilities open in the original investigation. Your Highness the Crown Prince is no exception.”

Yu Joong-ki opened her mouth with a calm expression.

“I’m not saying to make an exception for Your Highness. I think he can be sufficiently suspected. But… It’s hard to see it as reasonable to hold him for ten days without finding any clear evidence.”

Staring at Yu Joong-ki with the sharp gaze of the crown prince, she continued her words.

“Commander, what kind of plan do you have?”

“A plan? I don’t know what you mean.”

Yu Joong-ki put on an expression as if he didn’t know.

“The Son of Heaven fell and His Majesty, called the Son of Heaven, was arrested. Then the ministers took over power under the pretext of running state affairs.”

The princess continued in a dry tone.

“That…What is the problem?”

“I think it’s quite contrived. As soon as His Majesty collapses and His Majesty is taken into custody, they usurp the government as if they’ve been waiting for it.”

“This is… The content that the ministers all agreed to..”

“Well, I think I can do that too. If the administration of state affairs is delayed, the suffering of the people will increase as much. But I couldn’t understand what happened afterwards.”

The crown prince stared straight at Yu Joong-ki and continued.

“As soon as the provincial government got the judicial power, it detained all high-ranking officials, mainly those who were friendly to the imperial family or descended from the imperial family. And the Wugun Dodogbu, which had military authority, immediately dispatched troops to completely shut down Beijing. It is not simple control. That’s too much troops. How can you understand?”

The Crown Princess began to talk about the suspicious things in detail.
After all, there was nothing that wasn’t suspicious.

In the case of probation officers who have acquired judicial power

The suspiciousness made her frown.

Detaining only those who are friendly to the imperial family

In other words, did you not mean that you would be hostile to the imperial family?

How can I not frown

And in the case of Ogundodogbu, which has military authority,

The closing action itself was so suspicious.

They sent over 300,000 troops to close down just one city.

How can you not be suspicious?

“It’s just due process.”

Yu Joong-ki continued to speak with a calm expression on his face.

“It’s a legal procedure…You think it’s legal and I think it’s really different.”

The crown prince narrowed her eyes and glared at Yu Joong-ki.

It was an expression of what it meant to be incomprehensible.

“Restore the crown prince. If not, I will not be able to stay still either.”

“What are you planning to do?”

“After all these matters are publicized, we will organize a cabinet meeting.”

“What are you talking about publicizing?”

“The suspicion that you guys are plotting treason.”

“Taejabi!”

Yu Joong-ki raised his voice with an excited expression on his face.

“You talk too much!”

“I’m just saying what I see, hear, and feel. I think it would be very confusing to call you people who truly serve the imperial family.”

The princess continued with a cold tone like a cold north wind.

“I’m done talking. I think you’ve got some understanding.”

The princess stood up from her seat.

“Remember, the deadline I can wait is until tomorrow.”
Then she turned around and started walking outside.

Yu Joong-ki looked at her from the back.

Sigh

As she gritted her teeth.

*****

Probation officer. Yang’s office

Bang

The door opened violently, and a man with a rock-solid impression appeared.

It was Yu Joong-ki, the commander of the Golden Guard.

“Udoeosa!”

He shouted, glaring at Yang-Kyeong inside the office with a very excited expression.

“I’m going to lose my hearing. Commander.”

Yang-kyung continued talking with a surprised expression on her face.

“How the hell did this happen!”

“What are you talking about?”

Yang-gyeong asked him back with an expression as if he didn’t know.

“Don’t pretend! I’ve found out! Didn’t you release all the imperial family and officials!”

“…Yes, I did.”

“What the hell are you thinking! Why don’t you just release them! Didn’t I tell you to quietly detain them until my situation is sorted out!”

“Because I think that simply detaining them is not the best way.”

“What?”

“Think about it, if things were settled and they were released, would they leave us who forced them?

Yang-kyung continued her words with her cold eyes twinkling.

“Isn’t that possible! They have no power to force us!”

“If it’s normal, it won’t happen. But if the emperor wakes up, the story will be different. If you find out that the emperor has split the imperial power, do you think you’ll leave us alone? They’ll try to cut your throat or somehow get you fired.”

Yang Kyung continued with a calm expression.

“So, didn’t we reach an agreement to increase the power as much as possible until the emperor woke up! Even the emperor couldn’t dare touch it! But how can he release the friendly people of the imperial family!”

“I came up with a better way than increasing the forces.”

“A better way?”

“Yes, it is to change the imperial family.”

Yang Qing continued his words with his eyes twinkling.

“What!?”

Hearing those words, Yu Joong-ki asked with a surprised expression on his face.

What do you mean by that?

“If there is no one who can keep us in check and condemn us, there is no need to worry, right?”

Yang Qing opened his mouth with an evil smile.

“…A new…New emperor?”

“That’s right”

Yang Kyung shook his head and continued.

“Anyway, if we want to be comfortable doing things freely, we’ll have to be foolish… I think the younger royal family would be the most suitable. They have legitimacy and are young, so it’s easy to use the regent as an excuse.”

“…You…Are you crazy?…This is a rebellion!”

Yoo Joong-ki, who had been listening to him silently, raised his voice with a surprised look on his face.

Are you going to change the imperial family?

Doesn’t that mean that we will get rid of all the members of the royal family who are currently in power?

Of course, the prince who is in custody

Everything, even the emperor lying in bed.

How can the word crazy not come out?

“Did you forget? We’ve already committed treason. It won’t change anything by committing any more sins here.”

Yang-kyung smiled madly and continued.

Creepy

And facing that smile, Yu Joong-ki felt the creepiest thrill.

“So if you’re going to go, shouldn’t you go all the way?”

“The forces of the imperial family…Will not stand still.”

The members of the imperial family were not fools.

If you do a blatant purge for the sake of power

It was certain that there would be some kind of backlash.

“Don’t worry…We’ll carry out the purge so everyone can understand.”

“What the heck…What…How…To…Think…?”

“The Golden Guard needs only one help. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Only one thing?”

Yu Joong-ki asked with a questioning expression on his face.

“Please name the crown prince as the culprit who assassinated the emperor.”

“Hwang… You mean the crown prince!?”

“Yes, if you do, I’ll take care of the rest myself. Commander.”

Yang-kyung continued with her mad eyes sparkling.

And when Yu Joong-ki met those eyes, he was able to realize.

That the madman in front of him was seriously thinking of changing the imperial family.

‘…Purge.’

Yes.

He was thinking of doing that purge.

Centered on the prince, everyone related to him.

‘He’s a fearful guy.’

Yu Joong-ki shook his body.

It was because he was afraid of Yang-kyung’s mad longing for power.

‘The power is frightening… To Yang-Kyung… To give such madness…’

He thought.

The sweetness of power made Yang-kyung a completely different person.

From a small man struggling to survive, to a madman mad with power.
