■ Alexander Gwanggaeto the Great of Northeast Asia 4. Poor (2)

 In April, Pyeongyangseong Fortress was newly renovated by Prince Damdeok and the passionate activities of young generals, but it greatly ruined farming last year due to Hosadama. The long drought and insect pests caused a poor harvest. Despite this, spring has come. The sky in Pyongyang, where the spring wind blows gently, was very high. On the ground, sprouts sprouted, and a fresh green smell was carried at the tip of the nose. Cheon Ye-ji, the sister of Cheon Yu-ji, came out to Tteurak, opened her chest, and took a deep breath. The warmth of spring spread through the body and became warm. She headed under the fence. Under the fence, fresh grass was growing under the sunlight and blooming unknown flowers. The light grass leaves and flowers were a symbol of longing for Prince Damdeok to her. The first time she saw the prince was when her brother, Chun Yu-gi, participated in the conquest of Baekje and made contributions and received the benefit of the country. At that time, the prince and young generals visited Cheonwoo-gi and visited Dangun-dang and celebrated themselves together. The relationship with the prince began here. When the eyes met with the prince, the prince looked at Yeji's face for a while. His eyes were full of curiosity. She turned her head in shame at the fact that the first macho man looked at the girl's face. My heart beat and my heart pounded. I've seen many men, but I've never felt this way before. It felt completely different from my previous experience. After the return of the crown prince and young generals, Yeji learned from Chun Yu-yi's brother that he was soon the prince of this country and that he became his brother's priest. He was surprised and proud of this fact. She put the prince in the corner of her heart. The prince then continued to visit the Dangun Party at intervals of several days. And I found her without fail. Later, he found her first and then went to Dangun Party. The prince also seemed to feel a different feeling for her. When the prince came here, he trained in martial arts and read and studied various books. A booklet containing the history of Dangun Joseon was also dug up. At that time, Yeji figured out what the prince needed and helped him not to feel uncomfortable. The prince was willing to accept her help and sought her out when necessary. Yeji was a pure, wise, and confident woman. He was also considerate. The prince liked her like this. One day, the prince walked around Tteorak with Yeji. At that time, Yeji saw a new sprout that penetrated the dry ground. She looked at it and said to the prince. "Hi, look at that. Isn't it beautiful?" "I see. The sprout is so fine and soft because it has been thrown off its hard shell." The prince nodded and said meaningfully. And I looked carefully at Yeji's face. The innocent image of Yeji looked more beautiful than a sprout. "But Yeji's lady is prettier than that saesun." Yeji's face turned red and bowed her head lightly. The prince's friendly eyes were saying, "Let's bloom our love beautifully like that saesun," throwing away the ostentation and pretense. She looked shy, but her heart was full of the prince's love. "What is Yeji's wish?" "Here's your wish?" "Yes. Tell me." "That's..." Chen Ye-ji bowed her head for a moment, hesitated, and then opened her mouth. "It is to live in harmony with each other without fighting among the East delivery people. War, above all, makes the people suffer." "Between delivery people..." To live without war..." murmured the prince. Prince Damdeok was surprised that Yeji was arguing that the way he pushed ahead was wrong with the prince of a country in front of him. "I'm sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" "No. I hope so, too. I really hope the girl's wish comes true." 'Hi...!' She saw a huge mountain in the prince's reply. She could have done enough since she persuaded Chun Yu-ji, but the prince's arms, which willingly hugged her heart without doing so, seemed too wide. After this conversation, Yeji became more respectful of the prince. When I came to see her, I did my best. At the same time, he used to tell the prince the pain of the people. He also told us that the people's lives were in difficulty due to the poor harvest. The people were suffering from hunger due to last year's poor harvest. Yeji is now able to escape the same poverty as in the past as Cheon Yu-ri Oba became a staff member of Pyongyang's defense forces and received government officials. But she lived in remembrance of her poor old days. I didn't even want to live on good terms in the first place. She even distributed food little by little to the villagers who were living in difficulty. The prince praised Yeji's behavior for how he heard the news. Then, during the Spring Palace period, the warehouse of Pyongyang Castle was opened and distributed to the people. This greatly helped the people escape from hunger. And the prince appealed for the people to solve the problem of eating by turning Pyongyang and South Pyongyang into fertile soil around the war-ravaged areas, along with making them stronger positions. She worshiped her teacher against the prince's great ambition and personality. In the meantime, her love for the prince sprouted without her knowing. This was her happiness and pride. But that's why she struggled. Reasonably, I think I should respect and support Prince Damdeok, but the prince has already established himself as her lover. She was confused whether she admired or adored the prince. The prince was always cordial to her whether he knew her mind or not. However, looking at his bold appearance, I was not confident to handle it because it was too much to be his lover. I thought I should not be a hindrance to the prince's path. Nevertheless, I could never get my head around it. The young generals who happened to meet made fun of Yeji. "YEJI's face looks prettier today." "I know! Who's in YEJI's heart?" "The older brothers..." YEJI didn't hate it even though she looked at young generals such as MULLU and Chang Yeo-ji. Contrary to her will, her heart was already hoping for it. Yeji struggled for a while in confusion. Perhaps she knew this feeling of discomfort, her brother, Chun Yu-ri, called her. Chun has been busy since he went to Pyongyang. Coming back late at night was commonplace, and there were even many days when I didn't come home. The management of the Dangun Party was entirely left to Chen Ye-ji. Knowing this, the prince sent several people to the Dangun Party. It was considered with the intention of establishing the Dangun Party as a holy place. Chun Yu-ki led the way, asking her to follow him. It was the Dangun Party that he guided. The Dangun Party was the last bastion to cheer them up when they were in trouble. Chun Yu-gi knelt down in front of the portrait of Dangun Wang Gum. Yeji copied it too. Chun Yu-gi closed his eyes as if he were lost in meditation. Yeji looked at the portrait of Wanggeom Dangun for a long time. On that day, Dangun's portrait did not look dignified, but was smiling at Yeji with a bright face. The smiling face was definitely the face of Prince Damdeok. Her mind was shaken. She closed her eyes to pull herself together. Over time, the brilliant energy from Dangun's portrait permeated into his heart. I felt at ease. The two came out after their meditation. The cool wind swept Yeji's body. "Yeji..." "Tell me." Cheon Yu-ji didn't say anything for a while even after singing Cheon Ye-ji. Instead, I looked at Yeji with a loving heart. Yeji's face, who became an 18-year-old maiden, was filled with white water. It seemed that a clean and fresh leaf of grass stood gently. The natural innocence even made me feel the archaeology. Chun Yu-gi wanted to do anything for him if he needed wisdom. However, there was nothing we could do about Yeji's longing for the prince. Prince Damdeok was a hero among heroes and was considered the center of young generals. I was proud and happy that my younger brother Yeji was loved by the prince. But that's exactly what worries me. Finally, Chun Yu-ki spoke again. The crown prince is the leader who will lead young generals. We must not forget this." Yeji noticed what her brother was trying to say. "I know." "Then how you should act..." Yeji could guess what her brother couldn't bring up. Don't be a burden to the prince with the feeling of love. I was embarrassed to hear what my brother said. Yeji vowed to create a true love that makes Ungji unfold. The world where the delivery people were united and lived harmoniously was the prince's dream and her dream. "Oppa, don't worry. I won't let you down." Looking at Yeji's eyes with guns flowing, Chun Yu-gi even felt that she was a lover suitable for the prince. But this had to be left to the Crown Prince and Yeji. As a follower of the crown prince and Yeji's brother, I just hoped that neither of them would go wrong. Since then, Yeji's appearance has been somewhat awkward. The feelings of love in the girl's heart could not be resolved by a moment's resolution. The prince noticed this change in her before anyone else. Yeji's attitude, which seemed to reject his heart, was regrettable. The prince was already giving her heart. His crystal-like eyes and alert eyes captured his heart. However, above all, the pure appearance like fresh grass was a beauty that could not be compared to anything. Ye-ji, who can say humble and polite words, was incredible. The prince, who was sorry for her change, called Yeji. 'Shall we have a cup of tea?' 'Sure.' Yeji served tea and the two drank tea. After a while of silence, the prince brought it up.

"Have you heard the saying, "Beans grow, beans grow." "But..." "Do you know what this saying means?" "I think it means that you reap what you sow." "That's right." But Yeji seems to misunderstand this saying..." "What do you mean..." "I'm saying it because she only wants to plant beans or red beans." Yeji glanced at the prince. The prince's eyes were full of affection. The prince continued. "Why do you want to plant only one of them? If you plant both, you'll reap both..." Unlike ever before, the prince's words even quivered. However, Yeji did not answer, but only looked at the prince. "Why do you have to choose only one, Yeji? Can't you reap what you sow? Wouldn't it be better for us to bloom the flowers of love and ideals like that?" It was a passionate confession of love from Prince Damdeok. She was dying for this day to come. Her heart burned hot. Her body fell into the prince's arms. 'Hooray!' The prince's wish was hers. The prince was her teacher, comrade, and lover. She felt as if she were floating in the sky in a sense of unity with the prince. In October, despite a series of poor harvests, the Duso group was more obsessed with collecting taxes than worrying about the poor lives of the people. The people's lives were impoverished and the people's hearts were also hideous. Uitae's steps were light and full of energy. It was so dark and dark that dawn was not expected to come, because I heard directly from Hae Woo-sung that it was brightening in the vicinity. It was a hope that came from the fact that the day was not far away from Du So's harsh rule. Uitae was studying in Taehak with Gilcheong-dong. He was moved to see Hae Woo-sung keep his mettle firmly without giving in to Du So's pressure. When Hae Woo-sung was arrested, he joined Gil Chung-dong in his life-saving activities. Jang Hyeop also visited and begged. After he had gone to school, I followed him as a teacher. As he learned about the future of the country from Haewoosung, he came to believe that there would be a world where the people would live happily. But things only got worse over the years. There was no sign of change. "I wanted the world to change..." The frustration and helplessness slowly broke his wish. Even the sky was indifferent and did not spray a drop compared to the farming season for many years. Farmers were devastated to see the crops left untouched by drought and pests. Nevertheless, the Duso gang were eager to fill their stomachs, not to take care of the lives of the people. A small amount was called harvest, but even that was hit by harsh taxes and high interest rates, leaving nothing in the hands of the people. Anger and helplessness, this was the feeling of pretension. An incident occurred that made him explode beyond endurance. I learned about Du Chil's ugly behavior. A few days ago, Uitai walked in despair. As I walked aimlessly, I passed through a deserted mountain path on the west side of the national road. Then I heard a loud noise from somewhere. It was the sound of a knife hitting. Uittae approached the sound and examined it. A young man was fighting against four unidentified men, and his body was already wounded and bleeding as if he had been pushed by many. In one corner, a village couple and their daughter-like maiden were in fear. Judging by the situation, the terrorists seemed to be picking on the weak. 'Stop fighting!' cried the unidentified men, looking at him. Then, knowing that he was alone, the leader of the terrorists glared and said, "It's none of your business here, so you'd better not mind." When the man who seemed to be the leader of the gunman raised his voice in a threatening tone, an offended air came and said. "I don't know what's going on, but it doesn't look so good to see several people wielding a knife against one." "Do you know who we are?" One of the suspects threatened with courage and not to interfere. 'Who is it?' 'We are General Duchil, the captain of the National Highway Guards.' If you want to save your life, go away!" Eitae was even angrier at the story of Du-chil's Su-ha. "Oh, so you're the dogs of the year. You're the same as the nerds jump. It's just in time. I'll break your leg bones today!" The gunmen only believed in the numerical superiority and aimed a murderous sword at Uitae. "You're urging yourself to do it! Don't blame us!" The gunmen came at us brandishing knives. Eui-tae, who had no weapon, first avoided the enemy's blade with a sharp motion, knocking down one mysterious person and taking the knife of the person and confronting him. He felt as if he were judging Du So, free from the sense of shame that he had to ignore the cries of the people who were groaning in the midst of the devastation. Two of the men, who are suspected of being wielded by Uitae, have already been injured in their chest and shoulder blades, respectively. Then, as if they thought they couldn't do it, they sneaked around and ran away. "How can I repay this favor..." The young man who was wounded in the fight barely supported himself and thanked him. "What grace is it?" "Now that we are against them... ...they won't stand still..." The couple of the village and the daughter-like girl were still trembling with fear. The pretender looked at them and asked the young man again. "But why did they behave rudely?" the young man sighed when asked pretentiously. "I'm an unnamed soldier in charge of defending the national highway..." The young man had promised to marry the daughter of a village couple. The livelihood of the village couple was poor, but last year, the poor harvest made it difficult to live. However, one day, a person who decided to lend money to them at cheap interest appeared. Thankfully, he asked me to pay him back in time while farming. So I thought of the person as a benefactor and borrowed money, which became a dulmi. The man demanded that the money be repaid on time. The money he offered was enormous, calculated by young interest. He couldn't raise the money because he ruined the farming this year, so he appealed that he would pay it back if the deadline was extended a little, but he couldn't pay the money back, so he asked his daughter to give it up for him. It was of no use because I begged him to take care of the situation only once because there was someone to marry. It turned out that Du-chil, the son of Guksang Do-so, heard rumors that the daughter of a village couple was a remarkably beautiful Ga-in and had been carefully decorated to take over the daughter. So, he had no choice but to pack up his luggage and run away, but he was found out by them here and was in trouble. The fact that Du-chil was lustful was already spread throughout the national road. It has been quiet for a while since he became the head of the defense department of the national highway, but he became the head of the national highway defense team and now he has nothing to fear, so he seems to be releasing it at all. "He can't suddenly abandon the nature of the evil color." Hearing the young man's story, the heart of the pretense was horribly distorted. He asked, swallowing his anger in his heart. 'Where are you going now?' 'I don't know where to go. However, I'm trying to get away from the national road." It was a powerless answer from a young man representing his situation. Uitae watched him walk with all his might to get away from the national road with a hard body for a long time. In Uitae's eyes, a procession of people who would wander with their houses and hometowns behind them and fall down looked good. Their livelihood is at a loss due to the poor harvest, but Du Chil's abuse to use it to satisfy their sexual desires, let alone help them, eventually led them to the streets. Duchil, who led the people to hunger, was an unforgivable object to be punished. However, Hae Woo-sung only told Uitae to wait for the right time. "What time do you need after the people die?" So after several days of thinking, he visited Hae Woo-sung and complained. It was because I thought I couldn't watch anymore. "People are wandering around the gates of hunger. And yet, the Duso party is filling my stomach. It's terrible to think about what will happen if we face this winter." "...." "But if you just tell me to wait, will that ever come?" What good is it when the time comes when all the people are dead?" Hae Woo-sung watched the pretense of expressing his anger. His straight face was filled with determination to fight Duso proudly. "Yes, you're right. It's time to get ready for it." The pretense was shocked. There was nothing much to change, and it only got worse. So I'm here to argue with you today. However, when Hae Woo-sung said that, it was hard to believe. 'Are you sure?' 'Yes. Now, Prince Damdeok and young generals will soon return to the national capital. At this time, it is necessary to find a way to settle the lives of the people first." Haewoosung was already predicting when the crown prince and young generals would come to the national road. As if confirming it, a bookshop arrived from Moduru. It said that the crown prince and young generals have been building a strong base in Pyongyang and raising their soldiers as elite soldiers, and that they will go up to the national road around October. Therefore, when the prince and young generals arrived, Hae Woo-sung was thinking of working with the young people on the national road to solve the people's plight first. When Hae Woo-sung clearly confirmed his appearance, he was very happy. My whole body swelled with strength. I thought I would only keep my anger low against the Doos, but thinking that it was time to fight him proudly, I felt like I was overflowing with power. Uitae wanted to tell the news to the young people who had been with him. The thought of their joy made me feel hotter.

With a happy face, he ran out of Haewoosung's house and walked vigorously along the road. Uitae first thought that he should inform Gilcheong-dong and went out to his house. Then a grim-looking man stood in his way. Behind it was a group of armed men. "Who is blocking other people's way?" "I'm Neungdo." Neungdo replied in a sarcastic voice. His impression was that his eyes were sharply raised and he had a deep sense of vitality. Neungdo was the bodyguard of Du So and was known to be a person with excellent martial arts. If anyone did not listen to him, Duso had him assassinated secretly. So many of the dead came out by the Neungdo. However, Neungdo came to catch Uitae today at the request of Doo Chil. Duchil was only looking forward to indulging the girl. However, the hard work came to nothing. As soon as the girl was found and brought back, an unknown person interfered. He was so sorry that he missed the meat he had caught, and he was angry that he had been challenging his authority. That's why he asked Neungdo to bring Uitae. In the crowd, a person came near Neungdo Island. Uitae was one of those who tried to kidnap a maiden while saying that she was Dutil's subordinate. 'That's him.' 'You're trying to arrest those who ran away for money, and you're obstructing the military's execution of official duties Is that true?" 'I've scolded people who tried to kidnap other people's fiancee to be my concubine. But I have never been rude to the soldiers." "This guy's still losing his mind. Hey! Arrest this guy now!" Armed soldiers surrounded the tomb's command. However, when Eui-tae stood up with a knife and took a confrontation posture, he faltered. "What are you waiting for without immediately arresting the man?" The soldiers reluctantly squeezed in at the command of Neungdo and attacked Uitae. Uittae fought with all his might, removing spears and knives from all directions. He had many wounds on his body, but his appearance did not collapse easily. As a result, many soldiers could not easily overpower him. "Stop! Stupid guys, you can't even arrest him..." The fight stopped at once at the cold cry of the tomb. "You're pretty good. But you can't run away if you get caught by me." Neungdo defeated the pack and pulled out the knife alone. "I am familiar with your vicious behavior. I will judge you today and soothe the many souls who have died innocent. Come on!" Their sharp blades aimed at the other's heart. A tense tension developed. Then, in an instant, dozens of swords were developed. Soon it calmed down and the knee of Uitae bent. Blood was dripping all over his body. "Take this man with you." Uittae was taken to Du Chil's house. His bleeding body was tightly bound to the table of torture. Duchil asked, looking at the prettiness, defeating his men. 'Where did you hide them?' 'I don't know.' 'Go ahead and say it. Then I'll spare your life." 'Even if I knew, would I tell a guy like you?' 'What the heck! How dare you stand up to me?" Du-chil's kick divided the appearance of his appearance. But Uitai stared at Du-chil with wide eyes. "Let's see how far you hold out. Hey! This guy hasn't tasted it yet, so twist his legs hard. I will tear his mouth open and make him confess." Uitta clenched his mouth. It was regrettable that I was caught by this guy when the time of retribution was approaching. Even so, I couldn't give in to this guy. He wouldn't give a groan. 'Turn it harder.' 'Ugh...' The pretentious eyes faded. In his eyes, he could see the face of Hae Woo-sung, who said, "It's time to prepare to solve the people's impoverished lives first." "I'm going first. Punish them..." His eyes were closing before he could finish muttering to himself. But there was a faint smile around his mouth. Source: Jeong Il-ho, Kingdom of Heaven and Goguryeo
