Chapter 754

Episode 754: The Emperor of the Second Class (7)

Geumsun looked like she couldn’t understand Hyanggeum’s words.

Then, Hyang-geum explained Geum-sun’s expression in more detail.

“When a big fire broke out in Seoul, the Empress Dowager led the fire extinguishment while still pregnant. Not only that, during the Pan-gung incident that took place in the last year of Giyu, not only the Empress Dowager but also the Empress Dowager herself took up a rifle and suppressed the weightlifters. Therefore, it has become a tradition for all women in the imperial family to learn gunplay.”

“Oh yeah...”

Geumsun nodded, but Hyanggeum explained in more detail why this kind of training was necessary.

“The only people who can protect the monarchs closest and last are their concubines. That’s why you need to learn how to use a gun to protect your father. In particular, when the person who will become Hyangju’s spouse arrives in Nanjing, he will be in an isolated situation. In such a situation, please do not forget that Hyangju must protect him until the end.”

“yes. “I will keep that in mind.”

Hyanggeum frowned slightly at Geumsun’s answer.

“Hyangju belongs to the Ministry of External Affairs, but he is higher in rank than the Sogwan. “You need to quickly learn how to address and speak.”

“I understand, no, I understand.”

* * *

Thus began Geumsun’s full-fledged royal life.

In addition to learning etiquette and speaking skills, I had to learn academics more advanced than the middle school level that Geumsun graduated from. Of course, it wasn’t at a deep level and was just scratching the surface.

“When I go to Nanjing, there will be times when I meet with the concubines of high-ranking officials who hold a place in the Ming court. “You have to learn this much to avoid being looked down upon.”

“Yes, yes...”

“Did you say yes?”

“Oh no. “I understand.”

Under Hyanggeum’s stern gaze, Geumsun had to undergo harsh lessons.

Hyanggeum continued to push Geumsun, who was struggling in class.

“There is not enough time. Things that would normally take at least several years must be caught up in just a few months. So, even if you feel tired, please give us a little more strength.”

“I understand...”

When Geumsun returned to her dorm after such a difficult class, she collapsed on the blanket and sighed.

“Whoa~. “The classes at this academy will be easier.”

However, the class that Geumsoon found most difficult was the firearms class.

* * *

The people who taught Geumsun gunplay and archery were the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

Even if you don’t know archery, in order to learn how to use a gun properly, posture correction was a must, and men outside the imperial family could not carelessly touch the bodies of imperial women.

Therefore, usually in such cases, the court lady had to step in. However, the people in the imperial family who were most knowledgeable in gunplay were the Empress Dowager and her concubines. That is why they trained the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

However, now that they are in Shinji with Hyang, the Empress Dowager and the Empress have come to teach Geumsun.

And the Empress Dowager and Empress trained Geumsun harshly.

“At least archery is useful, so let’s skip it and focus on shooting.”

The Empress nodded and agreed to the decision of Empress Soheon, the Empress Dowager, and Geumsun heaved a small sigh of relief.

‘It was helpful to shoot an arrow at the archery range whenever I was bored...’

However, during the gun shooting training that followed, the Empress Dowager and the Empress placed their hands on their foreheads.

bang!

“It’s mom!”

This was because Geum-soon, surprised by the sound and recoil of the gun she fired, missed the gun and fell to the floor.

“What are we going to do with that... Tsk!”

The Empress Dowager clicked her tongue lightly and looked at Hyanggeum.

“To what extent have you learned etiquette and speaking skills?”

“You have learned almost everything, and now you are mainly learning the classics and poetry.”

“For the time being, we will focus on gun shooting training.”

“The role of our Samryonghoe is to become your personal guard. But we are a minority. The foundation is also weak. In such a situation, even if you become a member of the royal family, you will be unable to use any power. But wouldn’t your power to wield become stronger if you took hold of the parts that your classmate had?”

Zhou Jianxin nodded to Pi Qi’s words, but did not forget to point out the problem.

“The question is, how do we take what our classmates had?”

“Doesn’t disbanding the alumni association mean getting rid of all the eunuchs belonging to the alumni association? All you have to do is get rid of the head Taegam and the few people under him and take control of the eunuchs under him.”

“Hmm... It’s okay, but the problem is how to get rid of it.”

To Joo Gyeon-sim’s words, Pil-sil grinned and answered.

“Isn’t there a Mr. Wang who would risk his life if it were your job?”

Joo Gyeon-sim’s face brightened at Yoo Ji-ho’s point out.

“aha!”

Once Wang Chung was chosen as the sword that would take Dongchang’s hand, the next step went smoothly.

The leader of the mill crew, who was disguised as a beggar and eavesdropping on the conversation under the pavilion, his eyes lit up.

‘Roughly speaking, the roles of the Jamryonghoe members are being decided.’

Seokjun, who was recognized as the most intelligent among the Jamryonghoe members, was capable of analyzing situations and identifying what was the problem.

And, implicitly, Yoo Yoo, who was treated as the head of the Jamryonghoe, was capable of finding ways.

And the other comrades found the parts that Yoo and Seokjun missed or worked passionately to achieve success.

The leader of the Milwi had a rough picture of how they would move in Nanjing.

-Using the power he stole from his classmate, Seok-Jun analyzes and Yoo-Soo creates a method. And when the chief judge decides to carry out the action, other comrades move in and make the work happen.

Leader Milwi imagined the picture he had drawn and muttered to himself.

‘If done well, it will be the strongest combination, but if done poorly, it will become the seed of division.’

After finding an alternative to the alumni issue, Zhou Jianxin and his comrades returned to the issue of administrative organization.

“Change needs to be changed...”

Everyone agreed that the administrative organization of people was the problem, but the problem was the answer.

Both their knowledge and experience were insufficient to find and come up with the optimal answer.

In the end, after much deliberation, the result was to take the imperial administrative organization and transform it.

“There are some shortcomings, but this is the best for now.”

Il-sil added to Seok-jun’s words.

“The problem is the justification for carrying out this reform.”

Joo Gyeon-sim grinned and responded to the essential point.

“There is a very good cause.”

“okay? “What is that?”

“The sin of losing each of the last two wars.”

“....”

Hearing Joo Gyeon-sim’s words, the expressions on the faces of Pil-pil, Seok-jun and the other comrades turned strange. And Essential expressed the feelings of those comrades.

“Are you sure that you too want to go to war against the Empire?”

Zhou Gyeonshen, who saw that Yoo Ji-yi’s expression became fierce, immediately threw up his hand.

“no way! I also like rich and famous movies! And peace at home is also important!”

It was a short sentence, but there was a lot hidden in it.

-Preparing for war costs a lot of money.

-Myeong’s current situation is not good at all.

-In this situation, in order to prepare for war, we must tighten our belts, but I would like to decline this.

-I also don’t want to think about what would happen if the empress was from the empire and went to war with the empire.

The comrades of the Jamryonghoe, who knew the true meaning of Zhou Gyeonshen, burst into laughter at the same time.

“ha ha ha!”
