Black Corporation: Joseon - Chapter 595
Episode 595: Opening Heaven – It rolls again today. (3)
After returning to Hanseong, King Sejong immediately unpacked his belongings at Gangnyeongjeon.
“Even though I’ve been away for so many years, it still feels unfamiliar to me.”
Sejong lightly expressed his regrets, looked around the room, and then turned to the direction.
“Have you been keeping it empty all this time? “The palace staff must have had a hard time cleaning.”
“If you do it regularly, it takes less effort than you think.”
“That’s right.”
Sejong nodded lightly and looked back at the scent.
“Then let’s start working properly starting tomorrow.”
“yes. Abama mama. Then rest in peace.”
“OK. “You too, rest.”
* * *
They told us to rest, but Gyeongbokgung Palace was busy from that evening.
Since it was the return of the royal family’s most important elders, the Crown Princess and Emperor Yangwon, as well as the descendants and royal grandchildren, all visited Gangnyeongjeon and Gyotaejeon to pay their respects.
And in this process, Hyang had to suffer unexpected hardships.
“Wait… Is Seson still alone?”
Wan blushed and answered Queen Soheon’s question as if she were embarrassed.
“I apologize.”
“Oh my… Tsk!”
Queen Soheon clicked her tongue and glared at Hyang.
“I can’t believe Seson is still alone! “What on earth did the Crown Prince do?”
Hyang responded to Queen Soheon’s reprimand by urgently bowing her head.
“I’m sorry! “When I was trying to find a mate for my three sons, war broke out and this is what happened!”
“Hey, Crown Prince! This is the year the war broke out! And Seson is already seventeen! “If the crown prince had been thinking about it, he should have held the wedding of his descendants before the king left for Shinji!”
“At that time, the three sons were only thirteen….”
“The three sons!”
At Queen Soheon’s shouting, Hyang immediately fell to the floor.
“yep! I apologize! “Soja’s impudence is coming!”
‘I forgot! What kind of person is this!’
King Sejong and Queen Soheon were a couple for whom the term Buchangbusu was appropriate. In particular, Queen Soheon was a woman who could easily be called the ‘Steel Lady.’ Even though he was destroyed by King Taejong, who was worried about the rise of his maternal relatives, he held on resolutely. When a great fire broke out in Hanseong, she took the lead in place of the absent King Sejong.
Therefore, Hyang immediately fell to the floor when Queen Soheon shouted at him. Even in front of Queen Soheon and King Sejong who were so angry, Princess Jeongso was the only one who remained sane.
‘It’s definitely my mistake. what.’
It was the scent that made me savor while being reprimanded by Queen Soheon.

No matter how long people lived in Joseon, most of their values were adjusted to 21st century standards. By the standards of the 21st century, when marriage in the 30s was common, people in their late teens were an age group that was far from marriage. In fact, if you get married as a teenager, you are more likely to be viewed negatively.
Therefore, Hyang himself did not show interest in marriage until he was in his late teens, which was a cause for concern for King Sejong. If it weren’t for the fact that Hyang was constantly working around the lab and Area 51 to produce results, it was certain that Hyang would have been forced to get married before she turned 15.
No, there actually was such a movement, but King Sejong blocked it.
“I’m eager too, but let’s wait a little longer.”
King Sejong, who remembered his childhood when he was absorbed in the joy of learning, stopped him.
“Wouldn’t it be okay if it’s a little late for the next 2 or 3 years?”
Then, upon hearing the rumor that Emperor Seondeok was coveting her, he quickly got Hyang married.
* * *
King Sejong nodded after hearing about the wedding issue of his son, Wan.
“There is definitely a problem.”
The next day, as soon as the assembly was over, King Sejong immediately called Hyang and brothers Wanduseul.
“You know why I called you, right?”
In response to Sejong’s question, Hyang immediately bowed her head and answered.
“yes.”
“Tsk!”
Sejong clicked his tongue and reprimanded Hyang.
“It is true that you were indifferent to the wedding, but it was a big mistake to be indifferent to the wedding of your next descendant.”
“I apologize.”
“You shouldn’t create anything to apologize for!”
“I’m sorry!”
“Tsk!”
Sejong clicked his tongue again and looked at Brother Wan Du-seul with a gentle expression.
“Yes, your hardships are great because you have an indifferent father.”
“No.”
When King Sejong saw his grandchildren answering, his expression suddenly became strange.
‘wait! ‘Maybe these guys too?’
King Sejong, who recalled Hyang’s eccentric journey, which was appropriately called extraordinary, asked his grandchildren.
“Do you have any women in mind?”
“Women don’t know much because they are too busy completing their duties.”
“The same goes for small hands.”
“So Son is like that too.”
In response to Brother Wanduseul’s answer, King Sejong once again looked fierce and glared at Hyang, and Hyang had to fall flat on the floor once again.
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
‘Wow! ‘You’re really angry!’
“The crown prince needs to talk to me more.”
“yes. “Abama.”
‘dead!’
King Sejong, who was glaring at Hyang as if he were going to eat him, immediately relaxed his expression and looked at his grandchildren.
“Yes, there are no women in mind. “Then, is there anything about the woman you desire?”
“Well…”
Brother Wan Du-seul blushed and blurted out his words in response to Sejong’s question. Seeing his grandchildren’s embarrassment and not knowing what to do, Sejong smiled warmly and asked again.
“Would you like a woman with a kind heart? Or would you rather be a wise woman? Or would you prefer a woman with striking off-white color?”
Wan, who thought about Sejong’s question for a moment, glanced at the incense and asked Sejong.
“How did you respond?”
“It was a masterpiece. I still remember it clearly. ‘Either she was the woman with the fairest skin among women with fair hearts, or she was the woman with the fairest heart among women with fair hearts.’”
At Sejong’s answer, the heads of the Wanduseul brothers all turned towards the incense. Their gazes were full of admiration.
‘also! father!’
“So Son is like that!”
“The same goes for Soson!”
“So Son is like that too.”
In response to Brother Wanduseul’s answer, King Sejong placed his hand on his forehead and sighed.
“Haa~.”
“Halvamama?”
“Should I tell Eoui to come?”
Sejong lightly waved his hand in response to the fuss of the Wanduseul brothers, who were surprised by the sigh.
“It’s no big deal. I’ve heard what you want, so let’s think about it. “Go out and see.”
“yes.”
In response to King Sejong’s order to congratulate the guests, the Hyang and his descendants all bowed their respects and retired. No, I tried to back out.
“Seokja, you have some left.”
The scent that was trying to escape from the three hands became tearful and turned away.
“Whew~ I guess I can live now.”
“Whoa~.”
“Haa~.” As soon as Brother Wanduseul left Gangnyeongjeon, he let out a long sigh.
However, the Wan Du-seul brothers quickly left Gangnyeongjeon as King Sejong shouted at them to leave Gangnyeongjeon.
“Hey you bastard!”

A few days later, the Milwi headquarters located somewhere in Hanseong.
Naegeumwi, the head of the Militia Committee, and executives gathered the members of the Militia Committee and delivered King Sejong’s orders.
“This is an order from above. “Do some research on the women who are full of spirit.”
“yes?”
“Are you telling us to act as hawks?”
The newcomers, who had just joined the mill, looked puzzled, but the senior millworkers nodded.
“Surely it’s time?”
“No, it’s too late. “Think about Seson’s age.”
“is it?”
The seniors, who were having conversations that the newbies could not understand, asked questions to the head of the Naegum Division and the executives.
“Looking at the orders given to us, are the standards the same as before?”
“Yes. However, this time the level of difficulty is high. “We need to find spouses not only for the third generation, but also for the two royal grandchildren.”
“yes?”
This time, the seniors also looked puzzled.
“The 3rd generation and the royal descendants both missed their marriage and also want the same woman, so they are dealt with all at once.”
“omg?”
While the secretaries were gaping after hearing the answer, the Naegeum inspector and the executives were grumbling inwardly while stroking their darkly bruised eyelids.
‘no! ‘Why is it our fault that the three descendants and the royal grandson couldn’t get married?’
‘Why are you beating us up when the Crown Prince didn’t give any orders?’
‘The best sword of Joseon is everything! The damn old man is still fresh!’
‘If you want to hit me, just hit me. Why are you making excuses to spar? Oh my, it’s Saksin! ‘I only hit the very painful areas!’
They were Naegeumwijang and executives who were beaten to dust on a rainy day by the former Naegeumwijang, who returned with King Sejong.
And not long after, the jabs from all over Hanseong once again had to pack their bags to head south, or even further south.
This was because the scope of the search greatly expanded as the organization of the milwi expanded throughout the country.
While the three sons and the royal descendants were busy trying to find spouses, one of Milwi’s agents had an ingenious idea.
“Manager, I have a good idea.”
“Good idea? What?”
Dong-sik, who answered the manager’s question, got straight to the point.
“How about we make this official?”
“officially? What? “Looking for spouses for the third generation and the royal grandchildren?”
“yes.”
“You bastard! Don’t you know why we are a milwi? Have you forgotten what wheat on wheat means?”
Despite the manager’s scolding, Dong-sik continued his explanation steadfastly.
“No, I know very well. But isn’t there a limit to how many black men can search around?”
“That’s right.”
“That is why we are looking for talented hawks and entrusting them with the work. Of course, they do not establish ties with us directly, but rather establish appropriate channels in the middle. “Wouldn’t that make it a little easier?”
“Hmm… That sounds plausible…”
The executive who heard the suggestion nodded, stroking his chin. Dongsik, who saw a positive response, strengthened his voice.
“There is another benefit there. If you are a resourceful hawk, you can easily enter the living rooms of high-ranking people. Then wouldn’t you be able to get information you might otherwise miss?”
“huh? wait?”
At Dong-sik’s words, the manager looked like he had taken a hit.
“Now that I think about it…”
Until now, most of the places where the secretaries got their information were from the gibang. Otherwise, it was collecting rumors circulating in the marketplace, but this was very inaccurate. However, it was certain that if he could enter the family’s main room, he would be able to obtain information that would otherwise be missed in the main room.
“It’s okay, but there’s a problem. What are you going to do with the hawks? “No matter how much we put the trays in the middle, if we do something wrong, our true identity can be revealed.”
Dong-sik immediately responded to the manager’s point.
“There are quite a few children who have entered gyobang (a gisaeng training institution) but are having a hard time because their complexion is lacking or their temperament is not suited to being a gisaeng. It’s about using them. At first, they were run by assigning them to a hawk to learn the job, but later they were operating under the guise of a hawk or a water seller. In other words, we are creating and running a secret organization made up of women.”
“Hmm…”
Hearing Dong-sik’s words, the manager predicted the feasibility of the project.
‘If you’re a hawk, you can definitely get into the depths of the ban family. I also heard that hawks and dealers are used to look into the inner workings of families with whom they are not on good terms. Let’s see… If you openly engage in matchmaking, you might be able to avoid the suspicions of spies… There’s a chance. There is already talk that Pocheong will gather women and entrust them with similar work.’
After thinking that far, Jang came to a conclusion.
“I think it’s a good idea. “Write a plan and submit it.”
“yes?”
“It’s your idea, so write a plan.”
Dong-sik became tearful at the manager’s words.
“I’m ignorant?”
“You know Jeongeum, right?”
“Of course I know Jeongeum.”
“Then what’s the problem? Submit it within two days.”
“… yes.”
Dongsik suddenly took over his homework and hit his mouth with his hand.
“Ah-oh! “This damned group of bastards!”
