I Became the Crown Prince of a Ruined Country

79 – In Yodong

I took a closer look at Jingae’s face.

Among the people I saw, Yeompa and Chuyeon were probably the same age as Jingae, but Jingae had a different impression from them.

Choo-yeon was close to the epitome of a pure literary man, and Yeom-pa was rough and tough enough to scare people just by looking at them, while Jin-gae had a calm and firm appearance.

Jingae, whose lines are thick throughout, giving off a solemn prayer, seemed to have seen me before. I don’t remember

I also don’t remember much about when I was a baby. I still remember it clearly after I was 3 years old, but it is safe to say that I have almost forgotten the time before that.

Perhaps Jingae had seen her once around that time.

Guessing that, I asked Jin-gae.

“Have you seen me?”

“You may not know, but I met him once when I was very young.”

Jin-gae’s attitude toward me wasn’t too bad. It must have been unpleasant for him to suddenly come to see himself, who was silent in Yodong, without a message.

Maybe it’s because I’m a Young master, so I manage my facial expressions. It didn’t really feel like that. In the 5 years of living in Jo Nara, I was good at hiding my identity at the top, and I was slowly getting used to seeing the surroundings.

Thanks to the gentle atmosphere, I moved forward with my words.

“If you do, you’ll understand why I came here.”

“How dare you judge Young master’ intentions. I’m just guessing.”

Jingae hides his true feelings. He must be seen as possessing some degree of political skill, not just a general. If he had been an ordinary general who only knew the art of war, he would not have been able to make Yodong an independent sphere of influence like he is now.

I took a deep breath and spoke bluntly.

“I need the general’s help.”

“Hmm…”

Jingae’s sobbing expression didn’t change anything in my words.

He was listening to me calmly, but there was a slight change in my next words.

“And the general will need my help too.”

“You mean me?”

The eyes of Jingae, which were bathed in the bright moonlight, stood out.

I nodded my head and replied to Jin-gae, who did not bother to hide his surprise.

“Yes. If the General truly cares about his family and Yodong.”

“You are bold.”

“I am Young master of this country, the Yan Dynasty. I have a heart that cares for my country’s territory and people. Isn’t the general like that too?”

“Of course it is. But Young master is not talking about the people of Liaodong, but about the family of Xin. Or… are you trying to tell me to help me because I will heal my son?”

It’s not like I didn’t think of that.

As I mentioned before, the plan to solve Jin-gae’s difficulties and gain support as compensation was proposed as the third plan.

Unfortunately, that was impossible.

I wouldn’t know if I was Hwa-ta, but I don’t know much about medicine even in modern times.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to do that.”

Jin-gae didn’t expect much either, and all he did was mutter bitterly that it was so, without a sign of discouragement.

“Do you know how the midfield is going, General?”

“I know to some extent.”

“If you do, then you know what Qin wants to do, right?”

“Aren’t you trying to rise to the throne?”

Yes. As Jin-gae said, although he is now dead, King Jin So-yang proposed to King Min of Qi what it would be like if you became the East Emperor and I, the King Jin, became the West Emperor.

Of course, the title was canceled after a while because of the poor response, but it was an incident that briefly showed how ambitious King Jin was.

As it happened when Jin-gae was just starting to reveal his talent to the world, that must be the extent of Qin’s ambition to him.

Just calling it my name would be tyranny that would be disastrous to people from all over the world to hear.

However, the will that the soon-to-be king of Jin harbored in his swollen heart was far wider, more fearful, and greater than that.

“I am not the emperor.”

“What if?”

“King Qin wants to become an emperor.”

Words that do not exist yet.

It means that they are superior to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors who ruled the ancient Central Plains, and it means that they will stand alone in the Central Plains even more than they did.

“The Qin Dynasty has the ambition to destroy all nations and unify the world.”

Jin-gae’s expression hardened and darkened as he belatedly understood what the emperor meant.

He must have understood by now what I was about to say.

“First, the Han Dynasty will disappear. Then it will be the turn of the Zhao Dynasty. After Han and the Zhao perish, what will the Samjin be? .They will perish too. Yan and Qi will not even be able to compete with Qin.”

Unification of the Qin Dynasty was a predetermined future.

Yes. If I, knowing the future, do not intervene, the world will flow as I say.

“Are you sure it’s Yodong?”

I don’t know if Qin Shi Huang really invaded Liaodong.

However, the fact that he built the Great Wall following the generals of the nations is probably even rarer for people my age in my previous life to not know.

Qin Shi Huang’s hand extends to Yodong. Dongho or Joseon? It would be fortunate if we were not destroyed by the Qin Dynasty’s attack.

At my sincere warning, Jin-gae laughed a few times and seriously asked if he felt that it was not a bluff.

“Okay. Let’s say what Young master said is true. If so, can Young master stop it?”

“I don’t know.”

“Don’t you know?”

“I have no intention of telling others what I am not sure of myself.

Jin Dynasty’s national power has already risen to a level where it can compete with all the nations.

Nor is their population equal to that of all the rest of the world put together. In terms of population, is Qin still about one-third of the world?

However, it has been a long time since Shang Yang’s transformational law and a thorough military-oriented policy close to militarism have been combined, and their combat power has become something more than population.

“Then Young master talks about a no-win battle, how will he win me over?”

“Because one thing is certain. If you stay still, you will surely perish.”

It is no different from a cow shedding tears waiting for its scheduled slaughter.

If you want to live, you have to do something.

If you want to protect it, you have to struggle somehow.

Whether you break down the barn or run into the person who is dragging you.

“But if you move, you can even start. Fail or succeed. That’s something you’ll know at the end.”

“We can even start…”

Jin-gae disappeared as if he was thinking about something, and after a while he parted his lips again.

“Is it the start of the movie corps? Zhao, Wei, and Yan. Gather people with the movie corps, and connect the union through them. That’s Young master’s plan.”

“I will not deny it.”

“The last war with the Zhao Dynasty. It was Young master’ skill that drew in the Xiongnu and brought it to an early end. You captured Yeompa well.”

“Mr. Chuyeon helped me a lot.”

“I will also send people to the extreme god and the villain. The fact that you came to visit me must mean that you want to gain the military authority first.”

“Yes. I also sent people to persuade them. I couldn’t find anyone to send to General Jin Gai, so I went to see him myself.”

To Jin-gae’s successive questions, I certified the truth without hiding it.

“I understand that Young master is different from other guests who do nothing but trust their tongue.”

Jingae made eye contact with me and smiled lightly.

“Young master is more like his great-grandfather than his great-grandfather.”

Great-grandfather is King Museong, great-great-grandfather is King Soyeonyang.

To say that I resemble the young king more….

“If…”

“Do you know why I chose to stay in Liaodong?”

“I don’t know.”

“I guess you didn’t know that far. Well, it’s not easy to find out. It’s the royal family’s secret history.”

“Secretary…?”

“King Museong’s former king, King Hye, was stunned by the assassination of Prime Minister Gongsonjo and general Seong An-gun.”

“I know that.”

“But was it really the will of those two?”

I fell in love with Jingai’s words.

In the context of what he said, it was implied that he assassinated King Hye at the direction of King Mu-seong.

From noble mtl dot com

“King Hye was an army of darkness. Enough to slay Dukes Ak and Chu. However, it is not right for his younger brother to kill his older brother.”

Wouldn’t King Museong have recommended it to Jingae as well? Let’s work together with him to drive out the tyrant King Hye and protect the legacy left by King Yeon Yeon-yang.

However, Jingae, disillusioned with the heartlessness of his younger brother killing his older brother, left the center and settled in Yodong. Thinking like that, all of Jin-gae’s actions made sense.

“But Young master doesn’t talk about His Majesty. He sent himself away as a hostage to the enemy country, and even after he managed to return, he treats him as if he were exiled to a remote place like Changseong. Instead, he only talks about defending his country. .”

Jingae slowly leaned over to me.

Jin-gae, who was respectful and respectful, but did not bend.

“I will help Young master.”

I bowed down and greeted Jingae.

Then, as we stretched our backs and stood up at the same time, Jingae turned his head toward the wall.

“That’s it. Princess.”

Jingae suddenly called someone who was not a participant in the conversation.

At his words, a girl crouched behind her wall, revealing her body.

“Thank you for the proposal, but it was a proposal that I couldn’t follow from the beginning. This body, even the moment I die, seems to be destined to become the sword of His Majesty King Soyang.”

“…No. Rather, I should apologize for overhearing your conversation.”

The girl, Princess Bia of Joseon, bowed her head and apologized to Jingae and me.

“Even though I already knew it, I left it as it is, so it’s no different from allowing it.”

“Haona, that, go, Young master…”

“Even Young master knew.”

“Yes, yes?”

“Isn’t it?”

“I knew.”

Did Via play hide-and-seek with her ladies-in-waiting in the court?

I am the body that really risked my life to shoot spy materials in Handan, the country of Zhao. In that direction, I accompanied Mosu, who had reached the extreme, several times.

“Why…”

“The landlord won’t kick me out, so how can I do that as a guest. And.”

I looked at Bia and smiled.

“It’s also spherical.”
