Ten Million Psychopath Actor

44. If you don’t want to be eaten, let’s stay strong

The movie Jijon (至尊) shows Gyeongsinhwanguk, Kigihwanguk, and Gabsulhwanguk, which can be said to be the biggest events in the 46 years of King Sukjong’s reign, in the order of events.

The beginning of the film begins with the so-called ‘Abuse of Confucianism’, which was the starting point of Gyeongsin’s return to the country.

***

King Sukjong’s 6th year.

It is also the first return to the country, full of the smell of blood, in which Namin factions were largely politically defeated.

Sukjong had been very dissatisfied with seeing his father, Hyeonjong, dragged into the priesthood in the Yesong controversy. Afterwards, hardliners like Heo Mok and Yun-Hyu posted a message criticizing their mother, Queen Myeongseong.

“Yunhyu… I will never leave you alone.”

The decisive case was, of course, the ‘Abuse and Abuse Case’. Heo Mok was given a posthumous name and Heo Jeok was given an ark, but since it was a big celebration for the family, a big party was held, and when the news that it was raining on the feast day, Sukjong ordered to send a Yuak (oil tent), but the news that Heo Jeok’s family had already taken it without permission. He was very angry and decided to return home.

Major figures in the military who had been Namin-centered were replaced in an instant by Seoin-centered ones, and the leadership of Hunyeondogam, Chongyongcheong, and Sueocheong were all replaced by Seoin from Namin.

In fact, most of the central army had passed into the hands of the Seoin.

Yeonguijeong (領議政) Heojeok couldn’t stand it and filed an appeal to surrender.

“Because of not wanting to be biased towards one side, I was hated by one side and the other side and became lonely and isolated. Finally, I was reprimanded by Heaven, who loves me with a benevolent heart, for something I hadn’t done in my entire life. Would you like to go back and see the former king? Staying up all night in a cold house on a lonely river and scolding myself for my mistakes, the first is the sin of God, and the second is the sin of God.”

When Heo-jeok was demoted from Yeonguijeong, Sukjong restored Seoin Kim Su-hang, who had been exiled to Cheorwon, to Yeonguijeong. In just over 15 days, Namin, who was the ruling power, was completely pushed out, and Seoin came to power.

“video! Are you really going to be patient like this?”

“Then what the hell can I do in this situation? Does the Grand Master have any other plans?”

“Kuhm…”

Many ministers did not understand this sudden change and decision of King Sukjong, considering it tyranny, but they had no other choice.

But the really decisive incident happened in an unexpected place.

After serving as a double agent between Heo Gyeon and Kim Seok-ju, Jeong Won-ro, who turned to Kim Seok-ju’s side, accused Sukjong of treachery on the part of Namin.

“majesty! Shin Won-ro and Kang Won-cheol have been friends with Heo Gyeon since the year of Byeongjin. In the first month of last year, Heo Gyeon met with Lee Tae-seo to discuss an interview with Bokseon-gun. I’m not going. Heo Gyeon said that Jusang Chunchu is young, but he often gets sick and there is no Crown Prince. In addition, Heo Gyeon made disrespectful remarks that if the country perishes in the future, the Grand Chancellor must do well and break down the party line.”

“When the god heard it, he immediately tried to tell the lord, but because he knew well that the lord trusted the fake video, he hesitated, fearing that he would question me for innocence. I will tell you this in detail.”

Then Jeongwon-ro put down something piled up in a cloth from his bosom.

“This is the certificate. At that time, I will seal and upload two letters from Seochal and Heo Gyeon, one from Lee Tae-seo, and one from Bokseon-gun’s pauldron.”

“dare! To conspire against them… How dare these madmen!”

As soon as the proof was confirmed, King Sukjong’s eyes became pale and glowed with life.

“What the hell did you guys do!? Is that what you do, just standing there? At least if you are a child who lives on the rust of the country, shouldn’t you know this in advance? Hello! Uigeumbu immediately go to Icheon and arrest Heogyeon!!”

“I will obey your order!”

“majesty! It hasn’t been revealed yet that it’s a traitor…”

“Shut up!”

A man from the southern side bravely stepped forward, but was stunned by King Sukjong’s murderous eyes and fell on his face, holding his breath.

“Is it important whether you are a traitor or not? I have commanded. I am the king of this country!!”

“Is that all you babbling about when it’s not enough even if you run out on your own to find a traitor? You should also move quickly so that there is no back and forth. Can you hear me?”

“So… I apologize, Your Highness.”

The faces of the ministers gathered around the horse containing King Sukjong’s bones turned pale.

“OK cut!!! very good! I’ll take a short break while preparing for the next shoot.”

“Puha.”

After King Sukjong’s storm-like lines, the actors who played the role of ministers let out the breath they had been holding back. Some had profuse sweat on their foreheads, while others had cold sweat running down their backs.

“Still, my acting career has been going on for nearly 25 years, but it’s been a while since I felt this kind of tension again.”

“That’s right. When I happened to meet the king’s eyes, I immediately fell down without realizing it. As if he were a real king, his spirit and dignity are amazing.”

“If you don’t want to be eaten, let’s stay strong.”

The time when the actors who played the role of substitute left each other in search of a resting place.

Kyu-ha hadn’t come down from the statue yet and was watching the interior of the indoor set carefully. No one approached Kyuha, probably because of the explosive acting just now, or fearing that he might get in the way of catching his emotions.

For the royal palace set, the interior of Myeongjeongjeon Hall in Changgyeonggung Palace was actually implemented. In the center of the ceiling, a pair of phoenixes, symbolizing royal authority, were decorated with gold leaf and were flying lively.

“At that time, the aesthetic level of Joseon was really amazing.”

Even through the eyes of an artist who enjoyed the Renaissance, the inside of the palace where the king lived was full of beauty unique to the Orient.

At that time, Park Chang-soo, who plays Song Si-yeol, approached Kyu-ha.

“Hello sir. I thought you were taking a break because there was no filming today.”

“What are you going to do when you’re all old and at home? Men are not allowed to stay at home for long periods of time. And I like this set. It’s no exaggeration to say that I’ve spent my whole life here, and I never get tired of coming here every time.”

“You really love acting.”

“I love acting… When I was young, I first entered the theater and acted, and I haven’t received a single penny for 10 years. After going through so much trouble, the moment came when I needed money. So there was a time when I made ten films at the same time. The time I slept at home was less than a week in a month. Of course, money was money, but the greed for acting was that strong. Come to think of it, Kyuha-kun is right. i love acting I don’t think I can give up acting until I can stand on my own two legs. The act of acting itself is my life force and the meaning of my existence. After all, actors have to act.”

“I hope that one day the day will come when I truly love acting like the teacher. It’s my favorite thing I’ve ever done, but I still don’t know much about love.”

“Perhaps time will tell. Right now, just a loving heart is enough. there is no need to rush Speed doesn’t matter. Direction is important. To be honest, I really enjoyed chatting with you. I came to visit you again. Could you talk to me during the break?”

“good. teacher.”

The staff, who watched the two from afar, whispered as if they were curious.

“I mean, it’s so amazing. I’ve done a few works with Park Chang-soo, but I’ve never seen him like that. He is especially comfortable with Song Gyu-ha.”

“So. In fact, most actors respect Park Chang-soo, but most of them feel uncomfortable because he is such a great senior. But Mr. Song Gyu-ha is like talking to an old man at a mineral spring.”

Gyu-ha and Park Chang-soo sometimes laughed and talked, and in some parts, they exchanged endlessly serious conversations and continued their conversation.

“Now, let’s go into scene number 31 ‘The fall of a man’. Standby~!!! cue!”

[The Most High]

In fact, it was Jeong Won-ro who directly reported the incident of treason by Heo Gyeon, but it was Seoin forces including Kim Seok-ju who instigated it behind the scenes.

Heo Gyeon was a bastard bastard who was rumored to have bad behavior, and was a problematic figure who had been imprisoned and released repeatedly before that.

Around this time, Heo Gyeon was in charge of military training in Icheon, so he was further misunderstood. In the end, most of the captured Heo Gyeon admitted to this, and most of them were revealed as truth.

And the incident of treason by Heogyeon sparks even his father, Heojeok.

“The father must have been involved as well, so the Uigeumbu immediately arrests the pirates!”

Heojeok, who was sent to Uigeumbu, reported to King Sukjong with regretful eyes.

“at all! I have absolutely nothing to do with this. If there is a sin, it is only the sin of adopting an ugly child and bringing it to this point, so please hold me accountable.”

“Shut up! Everything will come to light if you investigate. I will never forgive you if it turns out that you were also involved.”

However, despite a thorough investigation, it is revealed that he is innocent, and after being deprived of his official position, he ends up being demoted to the status of an ordinary citizen.

King Sukjong’s anger, like an active volcano, was not over yet.

“The Uigeumbu wants all those involved in this incident to be purged.”

The entire set seemed to resonate.

Sukjong’s enormous pressure on the entire filming set contained a power that was difficult to explain in words.

Under the strict order of King Sukjong, the Uigeumbu indiscriminately arrested any person they wanted to be involved with, and soon a bloody interrogation proceeded.

Under the scorching sun, the tips of swordsmen of Uigeumbu were endlessly shining, and the eyes of flesh flowing under the red helmet were entangled in the sinner’s whole body.

As King Sukjong’s bloody purge was swiftly carried out, Namin thoroughly fell, and about 100 people related to it were executed or exiled.

Among them, Heo Gyeon, who can be said to be the most important character, was sentenced to a severe punishment, which was so cruel that it would not be enforced unless it was a serious crime.

The reason why Neungji Cheocham was scary was that it “kills people slowly and painfully.”

It was a punishment in which the neck and limbs were tied to a rope and the strength of 5 cows was pulled in opposite directions to tear the human body into 5 pieces.

Most of them burst from the knee when they received this sentence, but if it didn’t tear well, the maniac cut the armpit and groin.

Among them, Heogyeon screamed terribly as he struggled with the pain of having his limbs torn alive, and it was so cruel that even the ministers who watched it couldn’t turn their heads to look at it. . His eyes were devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at an inanimate object.

Seeing King Sukjong’s ruthless appearance, the ministers were relieved that they were not there, and at the same time, they were filled with fear for King Sukjong and just trembled.

Afterwards, Bokseon-gun was hanged and his head blown off, and Bokchang-gun was also arrested and given poison. Even Jeong Won-ro, the high-ranking conspirator, is executed for having originally participated in the conspiracy.

“majesty! I am the loyalist who first informed the fact of treason. But why do you want to kill me?”

As if he hadn’t thought that he would die, he complained of resentment with a feeling of vomiting blood, but Sukjong waved his hands as if he was annoyed without hesitation and ordered the execution, and the garden road also became the dew of the executioner.

If it ended here, there would have been at least some possibility of a comeback as a Namin, but in fact, even Yun-Hyu, who had nothing to do with this case, was arrested and ended up drinking poison.

“If the country doesn’t want to use Confucian scholars, it’s fine if you don’t use them, and there’s nothing like killing a strict person, right? ha ha ha.”

No matter how unfair his death must have been, Yun-Hyu calmly drank poison and died as if he had put everything down after a strong protest against King Sukjong.

The price for challenging the authority of the kingship was that severe. Sukjong was imprinted in the heads of ministers as a heartless king without blood or tears, and with this incident, Sukjong laid the foundation for absolute kingship.

At this time, King Sukjong’s age was only a short term.
