Episode 282. Meeting the Scarecrow Emperor (1)
“There is nothing wrong with it.
“You used a cow knife to kill a chicken? What kind of people are Jang Heum and Ju Tae?”
At Zhuge Liang’s question, Myeong-il looked at Lee Dang-ji with reproachful eyes for a moment, and then opened his mouth as if he couldn’t help it.
“It has already been sent, so there is no turning back. Jang Heum and Ju Tae are outstanding military commanders who are comparable to enemy escorts.”
In an instant, Zhuge Liang’s eyes widened.
The enemy escort is a master of martial arts that is second to none even when competing with Harman or Janggoe.
“Then you must have very good skills. But is that a problem? Aren’t such people going to help Sun Ce?”
“The military supplies they brought are enough to turn the tide of the war. However, with Jang Heum and Joo Tae and 500 cavalrymen, it is more than enough.”
“Soldiers and skills... Sun Ce won’t let it go.”
Zhuge Liang looked at Lee Dangji as if asking why he did that.
“Dang Ji-hyung, did you intentionally send people who were so talented that Sun Ce was greedy?”
“Yes, I sent it on purpose. It’s a camp with a military brother, and Sun Ce is also said to have been greatly favored by Master.... Actually, I’m worried. Jojo, who is Master’s brother-in-law, is not trustworthy, and Son Chae does not know how to change. So, I am prepared for it.”
Eulji, Myeongil, and Zhuge Liang’s expressions changed strangely after hearing Lee Dangji’s words.
“If you had been prepared... I think you did well. Aren’t the two sophomores like that?”
“I don’t think we did anything wrong. It’s just unfortunate that they used those more needed to protect you as spies.”
“I don’t think it’s in vain if you go under the command of Sun Ce and make a big contribution and become a general, so if you can escape the crisis of the lord at least once.”
“It is. It’s just that the military commander’s older brother is there, so I wonder if I was too wary.”
“no. My brother is there, but he and I are on different paths. A man on a different road must think differently.”
Zhuge Liang responded calmly.

While Sun Ce and Liu Yao were fighting for a long time in Yangzhou, Cao Cao led an army of 200,000 and moved the capital to Xuedo.
It is a short distance from Luoyang to Heo Island that takes about 10 days by horse, but in the middle, Yang Feng and Handsome, who opposed the transfer of the capital, raised an army and fought against Cao Cao’s army.
Yang Bong and Handsome, who fought Cao Cao and were defeated, ran away and went to Won Sul, and their general, Seo Hwang, was captured by Cao Cao’s army and turned into Cao Cao’s subordinate.
Jojo, who finally succeeded in moving the capital to Heo-do, decorated and repaired Heo-do like an imperial palace, raised himself to become a general, Mupyeong-hu, and gave military and general officials posts such as Sangseo-ryeong or Jungnangjang to fill the courtiers with his own people.
Heonje, who had already become a scarecrow emperor, allowed all government posts because he could not go against Jojo’s wishes.
When Cao Cao’s seizure of the imperial palace was almost over, a painter came with a gift.
“I haven’t seen you in a long time. Jo Mupyeonghu.”
“Hahaha... I like hearing the word “no comment”, but hearing it from you makes my face itchy. Just call me brother.”
When the fireman appeared, Jojo jumped up from his seat, opened his arms, and hugged him.
“My servants will reprimand me if I call Queen Mupyeong an older brother.”
“Who dares to reprimand my one and only agenda? It is the righteousness of the brothers who confessed to the God of Heaven and Earth. If anyone reprimands you, it is the same as reprimanding me.”
“I really appreciate the words of Queen Mupyeong, but there are hierarchies in the world, and once the hierarchies are broken, it is difficult to rebuild them. Hey, it would be fun to call Queen Mupyeong your older brother, but you can’t break the hierarchy to enjoy that private pleasure. I think this is a duty to be respected more because it is friendly.”
“It’s great. Do what is comfortable for you. But none of my subjects will blame you for calling me brother. Isn’t it?”
When Cao Cao spoke to the various ministers, they all bowed their heads in agreement.
After greeting Jojo, the fireman greeted Jojo’s new subordinates, as well as people he knew, such as Jo Hong, Join Ha Hou-don, Sunuk Kwok-ga, and others.
When Jojo was very happy with his unusual appearance and treated the fireman with utmost respect, and the influential people under him treated the fireman like family, the surroundings became cautious as if they were watching the fireman at all.
“I’m so glad I met Empress Mupyeong, so the order is a bit out of order, but I think I should greet His Majesty the Emperor first.”
The painter visited the emperor after a tumultuous greeting.
“His Majesty’s heart veins are blocked, and Qi communication is not smooth. I’m about to go to bed, would you mind?”
“Do it.”
As the painter placed dozens of acupuncture needles on his chest, shoulders and head, the emperor’s face became much more comfortable.
“They say it’s an excellent name, and the stuffiness really goes away!”
The fireman pulled out his spittle and said something he had been trying not to say because of Jojo.
“Your Majesty’s disease comes from the mind rather than the body, so it can be treated with acupuncture for a while, but fundamental treatment is difficult.”
Jojo, who had been listening to the fireman, suddenly interrupted.
“A disease of the mind? Now that you have driven away Li Gak and Kwak Sa, His Majesty must have felt at ease?”
“Once built up, tantrums don’t go away easily. It should be a little better now, but where should I start?”
The fireman answered calmly.
“You mean you need time?”
“Sometimes time can be medicine, but in the current situation, it can be poison.”
“But now that His Majesty’s heart is at ease, won’t it get better?”
“Mental illness is not always so simple. I am concerned about that part.”
“Then, how about you stay and heal His Majesty?”
The painter wanted to say that the cause of the emperor’s tantrum was not only with Dong Tak, but also with Cao Cao, who was intervening and interfering.
‘Should I ask Joe to go out for a while? It’s really difficult to talk about this because his authority is higher than that of the emperor.’
Whoa-!
The fireman let out a short sigh and made up his mind to weaken.
He is, after all, a member of the legislature. Since when did you think that you were driven by power? Shouldn’t we do the best we can for the patient in front of us?
Even if it makes me hate Jojo, I will accept it.
“Brother Joe.”
“Yes?”
Jojo hesitated for a moment when the painter suddenly stopped calling him Mupyeonghu and called him brother Jo.
He asked me to call him brother at any time, but I thought the painter would not be able to do that easily, but suddenly calling him brother was a bit embarrassing.
“Your Majesty is a patient, and I am a doctor who treats patients. So I would like you to avoid your seat so that I can focus on treatment and counseling for a while. This is a request from the younger brother to the older brother, not from the company of Mupyeonghu and Yeju. Can you listen?”
When the narrator used a tone that was completely out of manners and formality, Jojo was unable to open his mouth for a moment, and the hall became quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.
The emperor, the courtiers, and the guards standing in front of the door opened their eyes wide and looked at the fireman and Jojo.
What will come out of Joe’s mouth?
Which bomb will explode?
“Ha ha ha...”
Jojo suddenly laughed heartily. And he spoke.
“Yes, you are my brother. And he was a real member of parliament who did not bow down even in front of his grandfather and only showed his true self! sorry. I trembled for a while. His Majesty’s father is the best name in Korea, so we will definitely cure your illness. I’m going to get some fresh air.”
“Do that.”
“Buya. I got a bottle of good wine this time. After Her Majesty’s treatment, let’s have a drink.”
“Even if I don’t, I was desperate to have a drink with my older brother.”
“Thank you for waking me up. I just found my place thanks to you.”
When Cao Cao tapped the painter on the shoulder and left the emperor’s residence, the emperor looked at the door through which Cao Cao had exited for a long time with a look of disbelief as if he was half stunned.
“To think that Queen Mupyeong made concessions... Who are you?”
