I Am a King Page #5

---

It looks like a zoo out here

How dare you bring such beasts!

If you look carefully,

some of them will meet standards

They're for the Emperor of Ming!

Not your standards!

Isn't that girl at the back

too young, sir?

How old is she?

Sit down

Lady Su-yeon!

You!

Pay a tribute?

You fools pay from now on!

Lady Su-yeon!

Help me!

How!

Isn't there, too?

That wretched bastard!

What?

The crown prince is gone?

My deepest apologies, sire

How can he be gone?

Gone?

I'll search through and through

and bring him back, sire!

Minister Young!

How can you say that to me?

Forgive me, sire!

Forgive you?

Look!

Listen carefully

If the royal family

loses prestige because of this

you shall be held responsible!

you and your entire family!

You'll all be wiped out!

Your Majesty!

Quiet! You little!

You will carry the tributes

for Ming

You will carry the tributes

for Ming

To send tributes to Ming

at the coronation

each district's specialties

will be sent

It is our only way

to get back to the palace

We'll set out at dawn

Cover them well from mildew!

You!

Crazy fool!

A crown prince,

then a physician

Now you pretend

to be seaweed?

Come out of there!

Crazy fool!

What is it?

What did you see?

Well

I thought I saw a rat, sir

Meow! Meow!

I can't go!

Why you little!

Sir!

I can't! Please?

What is it?

She's been chosen

as a tribute to Ming

- Sir

- Wait!

What are you doing?

Help me, sir!

What will my father do

without me?

- Don't worry

- Why you little!

This is for the country!

Who cares about your father!

Take her away!

Please, sir!

- Please!

- Wait!

What's the rush?

Isn't she the one

too young to be a tribute?

Yes, sir

Strip her

Pardon?

I should check

if she's all in tact

So strip her

Go on! Strip her!

Yes, sir

No, don't go

Are you nuts?

No! Stop!

Bring her to my room

Stop at once!

You fools!

How can a human be so cruel!

Not him again!

Do something!

Go on! Get him!

How dare you defy me!

Bark! You bastard!

Please! Sir!

He's lost his mind, sir

He could die, sir!

- Are you with him?

- No, sir!

You bastard!

Get him, fools!

Kill him!

Rude bastard!

Kill him for good!

Get rid of him!

Stop it!

Do you know who he is!

He's no other than

Who're you?

I'm the crown prince's

royal guard!

Kill him, too!

Kill them for good!

- Magistrate!

- What?

What now?

What's with it today?

Why are there so many characters?

We've come for a conspirator!

The magistrate must hear

the king's command

The king?

We're saved!

He is a sinner who dared

impersonate the crown prince!

Cut off his head and hang it!

Untie me

I'm the crown prince

Kill him!

No!

But, well

He's the real crown prince!

Look closely!

Don't you recognize him?

Not again! The damn Japs!

The Japs?

Find out what's going on!

Yes, sir!

Your Highness!

What if you kill everyone?

Only the bad ones

should be killed!

You still don't know me?

I'm Jang Young-shil!

Trust me!

Hurry! Reload!

Okay

Damn bastards!

I'll carry you

Pardon?

Get on! Hurry!

Sir! How could I dare!

Hurry! Faster!

Damn!

You're dead!

A bomb!

Sol-bi!

You fools!

Deok-chil!

Run!

You crazy fool!

Go, go, f***er!

Go!

I don't want to be king!

I don't want to be king!

You didn't want to be

the crown prince!

You don't want to be king

You're scared of your brother

Always complaining!

Please help me

What's more important than

caring for the people's hardships!

Lady Su-yeon! The boat's here

You!

It's him! The one who got switched

with you!

Damn!

How dare you!

Some crown prince you are!

Why don't you want

to be king?

The king has so much to do!

Sending our women to another

country makes no sense!

Why'd you run?

I'm sorry

He said he'd kill you

I thought you were dead

Kill me? What do you mean?

Get them!

There he is!

Wait here!

- Get them!

- Wait here!

Stop right there!

Bring the crown prince

at once!

Your Majesty

Please, sire!

- What happened?

- We got him, sir

Is that so?

He's being dragged in

from Port Mapo

That wretched fool!

But there are mo, sir

Two?

One is dressed as the prince

The other is dressed as a slave

You foo1!

That slave's the real prince!

- Then?

- Don't you get it?

Behead him at once?

- Your Highness!

- Get him!

Hwang-gu is here!

- Hwang-gu

- Hae-gu!

Protect His Highness!

What are you doing!

He's the real crown prince!

Stop this!

It's the king's command!

Those who wish to die,

charge!

Get him!

After everything I'm doing

to put you on the throne!

Know what I had to go through

cuz of you?

There's no time!

Get ready and meet the Ming envoy

As I told you before

you must say yes

to whatever the envoy says

Understood?

Yes

I understand

Damn Minister Young

He ordered to find you

and kill you!

Minister?

How can you walk

in front of me?

What did you just say?

A king following a servant

seems funny

A king?

You still don't get it?

I told you,

you are mine!

I'm sorry

People are watching

so follow me

If the crown prince doesn't show

before I finish this

I'll report to the Emperor that

Joseon's crown prince defied him

You can imagine

what will happen next

You asked for me?

Father, I had foolish thoughts

and acted rashly

Please forgive me

Have you lost your mind?

I have much to say,

but the envoy wishes to see me

So, I shall go greet him first

Greetings

I am Crown Prince Chung-nyeong

You seem more courteous

than last night, sir

Why? Afraid of Joseon's disrespect

being reported to the Emperor?

Of course

You'll need the Emperor's approval

to be the mere king of Joseon

I shall forget last night

if you'll pour me some wine

What an insolent fool!

How dare you act rashly

to Joseon's crown prince!

Are you insane?

Shut up and listen!

You dare treat me

with contempt?

Joseon's crown prince dare scold

the great Ming's envoy?

That means you are scolding

the Emperor!

You are not the Emperor! Fool!

Your Highness!

Please calm down, sir!

Ming is a powerful nation

we cannot treat with contempt!

Your behavior towards the envoy

could prove disastrous, sir!

Shut your mouth!

Ming looks down about Joseon

because of subjects like you!

Your Majesty!

Let's go

Listen carefully!

Listen carefully!

The unequal relationship between

Ming and Joseon is over!

It is clearly because our people's

anguish is too great!

If this unreasonable

relationship continues

our future descendants

will suffer the same humiliation!

That is because

you do not know politics!

What do you know

about politics!

Out to gain personal wealth

and playing dog to Ming!

That's politics?

Your Majesty

The crown prince's rash acts

are quite worrisome, sire!

Enough!

Your Majesty

Why you!

What do you think

politics is?

Confucius said

great politics means

having ample food

having a sufficient military

and gaining the people's trust

You know what is

the greatest of these?

The one thing that must

never be forgotten out of the 3!

l, Chung-nyeong
