Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 822

Episode 822.

Back to the Murim Alliance (8)

Reduction or elimination of authority.

Although he said it calmly, the content of his words was anything but ordinary.

Everyone was surprised by Mo Yong-gun’s remarks. However, Yeonwiman kept a calm face.

Seung Hyun-jin, who had been silent until now, slowly opened his mouth.

“Mr. Moyong. It’s so…”

“Please don’t misunderstand. “My intention is not to oust Yeonga from the Murim Alliance or to turn her into a scarecrow.”

“What do you mean?”

“We must care about the imperial palace. “I feel safe because Yeonhojeong Sobuju is there, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be concerned about Heukdo Murim.”

Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.

“But the people we should care about most are the countless crowds of Baekdo Wulin who support us.”

There was a complex look on the faces of the audience.

Here, the positions of the Murim Alliance’s monks and elders were all occupied by the heads of the nine major clans and the six major clans, as well as several leaders of the minor clans. In other words, all of them are the heads of the factions that represent the martial faction.

However, in reality, the true power of the martial arts sect comes from the united power of countless sects.

It is clear that the power of large political factions is enormous, but when viewed within the larger framework of political factions, there are limits to the power of each individual. Power that is not united can easily collapse like a sand castle, so they were able to lead a huge alliance called the Murimmaeng because of the support of many factions.

To put it simply, the imperial palace and Heukdo Murim can be said to be external problems. However, public opinion within Baekdo Moorim is a thoroughly internal issue and one that shakes their existence value.

In terms of immediate importance, it is a problem that cannot even be compared to the Imperial Palace or Heukdo Murim.

“Even though individuals are wise, there are many people who are swayed by crowd mentality. “We don’t need to be overly swayed by public opinion, but we definitely need to appease them.”

Seunghyeonjinin sighed.

“Do you mean to reduce or eliminate the authority of Yeonga?”

“That’s right. Of course, we must draw a line between temporary deprivation and not permanent deprivation. The Yeonga is a renowned family that has saved the lives of local people through countless cooperative efforts, and is a family that has changed the world of its time. I think people will understand that much.”

“Huh.”

Seunghyeonjinin looked around the crowd and said.

“What do you think of Moyong Gaju’s opinion?”

There was a bit of discomfort on the faces of Bonggong and the elders as they looked at each other. But most people seemed to think it wasn’t a bad thing.

Sunwoo said.

“I don’t think so, Bondo. “No matter how much we have to care about public opinion, there’s no need to insult Yeonga like this at this important time, right?”

This means that it will be a way for the leaders of the Murim Alliance to calm angry public opinion and take a breather, but it may also be a stain on the Yeonga family.

Prince Moyong shook his head.

“The important thing is unity. Everyone is upset now and someone has to solve this problem. “Someone else has to take responsibility.”

“but…!”

“I don’t know Jongnam Jang Moonin’s feelings. However, I think this method is easier on Yeongaju’s mind.”

Sunwoo looked at Yeonwi without realizing it.

Only then did Yeonwi open her mouth.

“I don’t have anything to say to you because of my family’s concerns.”

Bokhosae said with a sad face.

“How can you say such a thing? Everyone knows that Yeonga is a cooperative song that discusses the best in the world. “This situation was created because the situation was so bad, but no one here has the heart to criticize Yeonga.”

Mo Yong-gun’s eyes scanned the audience.

More than half of the leaders were nodding their heads at the words of the restoration incident. Some of them were even more sad than the decryption incident.

‘It’s a good thing you came.’

Even before it closed, Yeonga’s status was significant. It was thanks to Yeonwi’s upright mentality and Yeonhojeong’s great contribution.

But now there are more.

I don’t know if you know it, but the leadership’s eyes were showing deep sympathy, admiration, and even guilt when they looked at Yeonwi. I feel indebted to the Yeonga family, which took the lead in preventing conflict in these chaotic times.

Moyong smiled bitterly.

‘I risked my life to pursue righteousness.’

Yeonwi shook his head.

“Whether it is criticism or criticism, it is true that my mistake is clear. In fact, I was able to come out here because many people here understood me, and it wouldn’t be surprising if I was kicked out of the Murim Alliance.”

Fortunately, since Heukdo is in an alliance with the martial arts group, it ends with their expulsion. If an alliance had not been formed, the Yeonga family itself could have ended.

That’s why the leaders were feeling indebted.

This was because I knew how fierce and great the actions of the Yeon family were, going wild without any means for the future in order to stop the enemy.

However, people don’t know what’s inside, so to Yeon Ho-jeong, who made such a great contribution, ‘Perhaps?’ There were quite a few people who had this mindset.

This was the reason why they could not openly support Yeonwi. If Yeon Ho-jeong were to truly abandon Baekdo and live for the Black Island, he could have posed a great threat to the Baekdo martial forest.

“I am in a position where I can neither agree nor oppose Moyongaju’s proposal. “I feel a great responsibility as a member of the Murim Alliance, so I will decide my future course based on your judgment.”

The committee clearly stated its position.

Ambassador Gong Gong looked at Zhuge Wenhu and said.

“What do you think of the military?”

He had never opened his mouth after a few words at the first meeting.

Zhuge Wenhu saw Yan Wei.

Yeonwi did not make eye contact with him. He was just staring straight ahead.

A small sigh flowed from Zhuge Munho’s mouth.

“Let’s put surveillance on it.”

“hmm? “What does that mean?”

“It would be a good idea to not only temporarily deprive people of their positions and authority, but also place large-scale surveillance on members of the National Security Council.”

At that moment, Sunwoo hit the table.

“What do you mean! “Surveillance?!”

Bokhosae said carefully.

“Wouldn’t a temporary deprivation of privileges be enough? “I don’t think there’s a need to add surveillance to that.”

Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.

“If you’re going to do this, it’s better to be sure.”

“It makes no sense.”

Even Peng Wu-gang, who had been quiet, opposed that opinion in a strong tone.

“I agree with the removal of rights, but I think surveillance is excessive. Even if the weight of merit is different for each person, wouldn’t the merit of saving the Son of Heaven be a merit that deserves pardon for any crime?”

Everyone nodded. I couldn’t help but admit that part.

“Furthermore, Yeongaju is a rare warrior who was even given the Cheonra Imperial Sword. “How would the imperial palace view us if it became known that we had placed surveillance on such a person?”

“….”

“Public opinion is important, but the eyes of the imperial palace are also important. “Putting all that aside, it is clearly excessive to place surveillance on the Yeonga family, who have risked their lives and worked tirelessly for the world.”

“Lord Panga.”

“Please speak.”

“We are members of the Murim Alliance. And we have the support of countless Baekdo martial arts people.”

Zhuge Li’s eyes were clearer than ever.

“Rather than praising achievements, it is better to protect the immediate reality. That’s what we need to prioritize.”

“but!”

“If each organization imposes its own standards out of fear of external opinions, the organization will inevitably collapse.”

“…!”

“Let’s take care of our household first and then take a look around. That’s my opinion.”

Peng Wugang looked at Zhuge Wenhu with eyes that he could not understand.

Yan Wei and Zhuge Wenhu were very close both publicly and privately. Although Zhuge Liang had a strict personality when it came to construction, there was no need to take the initiative and do something that would cause damage to Yeonga.

Zhuge Wenhu opened his mouth again.

“I don’t think Yeonga’s status will fall just by adding surveillance personnel. On the other hand, now that such measures have been taken, public opinion will calm down.”

“….”

“It is right to be strict when doing things regardless of any friendship. “Not all those people support us, telling us to do things based on friendship and profit.”

The restoration situation was frowned upon.

“These are difficult words to bear. What you said was like….”

“The hearing wasn’t supposed to drag on like this in the first place.”

“What do you mean?”

Zhuge Wenhu said while looking at Yan Wei.

“The longer this situation lasts, the more suffering it is for the family members. “Why don’t you know that?”

“…!”

“As my soldier, I have only watched this position grow longer. “I feel sorry for Lord Yeonga, but I wanted to see how efficient our Bonggong and elders could be in handling their affairs during this critical time.”

“Military.”

“There is nothing different about open-ended discussion. This is exactly what a desk theory is. The Black Island is changing, and the flow of the imperial palace has also changed. However, nothing has changed since our Murim Alliance was first established.”

Zhuge Wenhu sighed.

“Worse than regression is stagnation. Because there is no change. “Organizations that change infinitely for the worse will fail, but organizations that remain stagnant cannot even choose to fail.”

“….”

“Let me take this opportunity to tell you. It’s good to take your time, but now is a moment when more firm and progressive words and actions are needed. Even at this moment, the enemy will be targeting our weaknesses from various angles to upset the midfield.”

“….”

“I will vote not only for the temporary deprivation of the rights of the Yeonga state, but also for imposing large-scale surveillance on the Yeonga blood relatives. “I have nothing more to say as today is the last day of this long hearing.”

Zhuge Munho stood up and bowed his head.

“I will leave first today. There is too much information to process.”

* * *

The hearing ended half a hour after Zhuge Mun-ho left.

Mo Yong-woo approached Mo Yong-gun who came out of the conference room and expressed his curiosity.

“For some reason, the faces of Bonggong and the elders look dark.”

“It must have felt uncomfortable and frustrating.”

Mo Yong-gun chuckled and patted Mo Yong-woo on the shoulder.

“The appointment of the head of the Uijeong County will take place in three days. “Know that.”

“Yes yes?!”

“I just threw a pebble into the choppy sea. It was much easier than I thought. Since he was the commander of the Tangma army, there was no disagreement.”

“…okay.”

“by the way.”

Moyong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“The Zhuge army has become even more fierce.”

“Is that so?”

Mo Yong-gun told Mo Yong-woo the conversation that took place at the conference hall.

Mo Yong-woo’s eyes wavered.

“The soldier said that…?”

“It was a wise move. “It was a great move that calmed the public opinion of Baekdo, calmed the spirit of the top executives who were in dire straits, and was helpful to the Yeonga family in the long run.”

“You mean help?”

Prince Mo Yong looked at Mo Yong Woo with puzzled eyes.

“I don’t know if Yeon-ga really had a different mind, but wouldn’t she have done it?”

“…!”

“It may seem like a harsh measure at first, but in the long run, it was a measure that would highlight Yeonga’s innocence and strengthen trust. After all, I am not an ordinary person.”

“…okay.”

“and.”

Moyong-gun’s eyes widened.

“Through such shouting, Zhuge Soldier is speaking. “This is a moment when we need a Murim lord who is decisive and full of action.”
