25000:25:02,938 --> 00:25:09,206The

250
00:25:02,938 --> 00:25:09,206
The Yushin Army has repelled
Lords Jujin, Hojae and Bojong's troops.

251
00:25:11,613 --> 00:25:14,136
Hojae, Jujin and Bojong...

252
00:25:14,256 --> 00:25:15,592
are all retreating?

253
00:25:15,712 --> 00:25:16,737
Yes, Your Majesty.

254
00:25:16,857 --> 00:25:20,938
They were able to repel them,
and regain control of the situation.

255
00:25:25,429 --> 00:25:26,672
Retreat?!

256
00:25:26,792 --> 00:25:31,146
Yes. The Commissioner sent troops
from Mounts Nang and Muhwa there,

257
00:25:31,266 --> 00:25:33,881
- and they joined...
- Mount Nang!

258
00:25:34,001 --> 00:25:38,432
Then, are you telling me that
nobody is defending Mount Nang now?

259
00:25:38,552 --> 00:25:40,022
Your Majesty.

260
00:25:40,142 --> 00:25:42,100
Yes, of course...

261
00:25:43,266 --> 00:25:45,004
It can't be...

262
00:25:45,124 --> 00:25:46,490
What is the matter?

263
00:25:46,610 --> 00:25:49,703
Why would Mount Nang pose a problem now?

264
00:25:50,593 --> 00:25:52,088
~ Mount Nang ~

265
00:25:52,596 --> 00:25:54,483
~ Myeonghwalsan Fortress ~

266
00:25:54,801 --> 00:25:59,795
- Here...
- Myeonghwalsan Fortress.

267
00:26:01,513 --> 00:26:04,990
So they're heading
for Myeonghwalsan Fortress?

268
00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:10,510
Two powers inside the capital?

269
00:26:26,299 --> 00:26:29,965
What? Are you telling me they
are retreating towards Mount Nang?

270
00:26:30,085 --> 00:26:30,856
Yes.

271
00:26:30,976 --> 00:26:34,417
They are all passing through
Dorijae and heading there.

272
00:26:34,537 --> 00:26:37,237
Then...
They cannot...

273
00:26:38,573 --> 00:26:40,976
What is the matter, Chief Marshal?

274
00:26:41,096 --> 00:26:43,223
What they're after is not the capital.

275
00:26:43,343 --> 00:26:45,026
What?

276
00:26:46,339 --> 00:26:48,290
It's Myeonghwalsan Fortress.

277
00:26:48,410 --> 00:26:50,809
They're attempting to
penetrate Myeonghwalsan Fortress.

278
00:26:55,187 --> 00:26:59,733
~ Myeonghwalsan Fortress Front Gates ~

279
00:27:04,962 --> 00:27:06,828
I laud your efforts.

280
00:27:06,948 --> 00:27:07,782
It is nothing.

281
00:27:07,902 --> 00:27:10,517
Your brilliant strategy
nearly emptied the fortress,

282
00:27:10,637 --> 00:27:12,609
so you rendered our job much easier.

283
00:27:32,334 --> 00:27:36,431
What they were after from the
very start was not the capital,

284
00:27:36,551 --> 00:27:38,960
but Myeonghwalsan Fortress.

285
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,173
They focused their efforts on Yeodo Plains
to move troops away from Mount Nang,

286
00:27:43,293 --> 00:27:47,469
and gain control of an emptied
fortress with only a few men.

287
00:27:48,791 --> 00:27:53,180
The mistake Mishil made
when she staged her insurrection...

288
00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:59,533
Yes. It was a subterfuge created
not to repeat her same mistake.

289
00:28:00,218 --> 00:28:05,434
There are only 15 ri between
Myeonghwalsan Fortress and the capital.

290
00:28:05,554 --> 00:28:08,301
Yes. Cavalry troops
could cover such distance...

291
00:28:08,421 --> 00:28:11,603
in no more than a half period (15 mins).

292
00:28:12,732 --> 00:28:16,655
Deploying such a large army
inside the capital...

293
00:28:17,460 --> 00:28:19,654
My apologies, Your Majesty.

294
00:28:19,774 --> 00:28:21,414
How dare...

295
00:28:21,534 --> 00:28:23,046
How dare...

296
00:28:23,703 --> 00:28:27,371
they create a frontline inside the capital?

297
00:28:27,491 --> 00:28:30,572
Is it not a daring stratagem?

298
00:28:34,608 --> 00:28:37,513
Let alone in our
seven century-long history,

299
00:28:37,633 --> 00:28:40,551
no other country has ever seen
such large armies contending...

300
00:28:40,671 --> 00:28:45,483
each other so closely inside capital walls.

301
00:28:45,603 --> 00:28:48,611
Yes, not to mention that
there are only 15 ri between...

302
00:28:48,731 --> 00:28:51,240
the capital and Myeonghwalsan Fortress.

303
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:57,324
That is why this situation cannot continue.

304
00:28:57,444 --> 00:28:58,759
Sangdaedeung.

305
00:28:58,879 --> 00:29:01,444
How do you plan to proceed now?

306
00:29:02,448 --> 00:29:04,568
How do you think I would?

307
00:29:04,688 --> 00:29:09,216
First, should we not spread the word?

308
00:29:11,074 --> 00:29:13,236
Spread the word?!

309
00:29:13,398 --> 00:29:14,869
To whom?

310
00:29:14,989 --> 00:29:16,747
Right.

311
00:29:17,095 --> 00:29:20,269
Spread what word, and to whom?

312
00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:24,955
The unprecedented occurrence of a
frontline built inside the capital.

313
00:29:25,075 --> 00:29:27,285
All this time, both nobles,
Lord Bidam and Lord Yushin,

314
00:29:27,405 --> 00:29:30,889
pledged fealty to Her Majesty,
and despite being a woman,

315
00:29:31,009 --> 00:29:36,278
she strengthened the crown's authority
even more than her predecessors.

316
00:29:39,414 --> 00:29:41,958
But, once people learn of this,

317
00:29:42,078 --> 00:29:49,404
they will start doubting
Her Majesty's skills and authority.

318
00:29:50,112 --> 00:29:53,123
The suspicion they always
fomented from the very start...

319
00:29:53,243 --> 00:29:57,885
That of wondering whether
a woman could truly...

320
00:29:58,005 --> 00:29:59,348
That's right.

321
00:30:00,069 --> 00:30:03,376
We must spread the word,

322
00:30:03,496 --> 00:30:08,772
and maintain this situation
as long as possible.

323
00:30:08,892 --> 00:30:14,719
Whereas they will attempt
to do the very opposite.

324
00:30:21,126 --> 00:30:22,716
It is Bidam.

325
00:30:22,836 --> 00:30:24,518
All the events that are happening,

326
00:30:24,638 --> 00:30:30,379
the nobles acting in unison,
and all the deserters' movements.

327
00:30:32,102 --> 00:30:36,152
Bidam joined forces with them.

328
00:30:38,442 --> 00:30:41,830
They no longer have a
Mishil or Seolwon to lean onto.

329
00:30:41,950 --> 00:30:46,673
So, who else would concoct
such a daring stratagem?

330
00:30:49,957 --> 00:30:51,674
It can only be Bidam.

331
00:30:51,794 --> 00:30:53,116
Enough.

332
00:30:53,646 --> 00:30:55,130
I have heard enough.

333
00:30:55,250 --> 00:30:59,944
Your Majesty, is that not
what you're thinking right now?

334
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,518
Is it not?

335
00:31:05,130 --> 00:31:07,081
It is.

336
00:31:07,950 --> 00:31:10,521
That is exactly what I'm thinking.

337
00:31:10,641 --> 00:31:12,280
However...

338
00:31:13,849 --> 00:31:16,436
I wish it was not the case.

339
00:31:17,241 --> 00:31:19,553
I hope it is not.

340
00:31:21,707 --> 00:31:24,592
~ Chuhwa County Administration ~

341
00:31:27,834 --> 00:31:31,351
Lord Bidam still has not arrived?

342
00:31:32,118 --> 00:31:34,285
I told you.

343
00:31:34,405 --> 00:31:36,125
He told me to come first
and arrange everything,

344
00:31:36,245 --> 00:31:38,397
but still no trace of him.

345
00:31:39,178 --> 00:31:40,726
What is this...

346
00:31:40,846 --> 00:31:43,382
He should have been here already.

347
00:31:43,679 --> 00:31:45,356
What is it?

348
00:31:45,476 --> 00:31:47,347
I'll relay it to him.

349
00:31:47,467 --> 00:31:48,746
Give it and go.

350
00:31:48,866 --> 00:31:51,195
It's a royal order!

351
00:31:51,315 --> 00:31:54,651
I must relay this firsthand.

352
00:32:07,542 --> 00:32:10,425
I shall dethrone Her Majesty.

353
00:32:10,545 --> 00:32:11,697
Uh?!

354
00:32:11,817 --> 00:32:16,425
Didn't you say we must
maintain this situation?

355
00:32:16,545 --> 00:32:20,851
Are you telling us we will deploy
once all troops are gathered?

356
00:32:20,971 --> 00:32:22,431
No.

357
00:32:26,417 --> 00:32:31,862
Even without a confrontation,
many nobles are joining our cause.

358
00:32:31,982 --> 00:32:36,187
And Lords Jujin, Sueulbu and Hojae,

359
00:32:39,121 --> 00:32:43,467
and others for a total of seven council
members, myself included,

360
00:32:43,587 --> 00:32:45,946
are now on our side.

361
00:32:46,066 --> 00:32:47,833
Then...

362
00:32:52,667 --> 00:32:54,171
Yes.

363
00:32:54,291 --> 00:32:56,461
As current Sangdaedeung,

364
00:32:56,581 --> 00:33:00,280
I hereby summon all
council members for a meeting.

365
00:33:47,328 --> 00:33:49,872
With this council meeting,

366
00:33:49,992 --> 00:33:52,775
we shall deliberate upon the
dethronement of Her Majesty.

367
00:34:02,065 --> 00:34:04,651
Her Majesty Deokman...

368
00:34:04,771 --> 00:34:09,410
could not protect the territory
King Jinheung conquered,

369
00:34:10,255 --> 00:34:14,168
suffered countless invasions
at the hands of Goguryeo and Baekje,

370
00:34:14,288 --> 00:34:16,955
lost Daeya Fortress to the enemy,

371
00:34:17,612 --> 00:34:22,062
and as a female ruler was
belittled by a Tang delegation,

372
00:34:22,182 --> 00:34:26,726
besmirching our pride
and the legacy of our flag.

373
00:34:27,850 --> 00:34:29,033
Also!

374
00:34:29,903 --> 00:34:32,616
The auspicious omen Ashoka
the Great revealed to us...

375
00:34:32,736 --> 00:34:35,161
indicates that her time
on the throne must now end,

376
00:34:35,281 --> 00:34:37,789
and that a new ruler
shall grace our country,

377
00:34:37,909 --> 00:34:41,591
so would this not be what heaven's
providence has blessed us with?

378
00:34:41,711 --> 00:34:46,594
For the aforementioned reasons,
Sangdaedeung Bidam and this council...

379
00:34:46,714 --> 00:34:50,184
decided upon the
dethronement of Her Majesty,

380
00:34:50,304 --> 00:34:55,695
and proclaim that the only way
our nation can be rescued from misery...

381
00:34:55,815 --> 00:35:01,524
is if she relinquishes all
her powers of her own volition.

382
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,691
Sangdaedeung Bidam
of the Council of Nobles.

383
00:35:13,586 --> 00:35:15,261
Dethronement?!

384
00:35:15,381 --> 00:35:17,020
Dethronement?!

385
00:35:17,140 --> 00:35:19,281
What is all this about?

386
00:35:20,487 --> 00:35:24,331
Is Lord Bidam
