King Jinheung (540-576) was the 24th king of the Silla dynasty. One of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He followed King Beopheung (514-540) and followed King Jinji (576-579). Jinheung was the nephew of King Beopheung. King Jinheung was one of the greatest Kings of the Silla dynasty and was responsible for expanding Silla territory. He and King Seong, the 26th King of Baekje, fought over the Han river valley. King Jinheung won the battle and successfully expanded Silla territory. He is remembered by the Korean people as one of the greatest rulers of Silla and Korea.
Without an escort King Jinheung conducts territorial checks. King Jinheung rode on horseback, exploring the territory of the Shilla kingdom. He rode with his courage. Through pastures and also wilderness. Without feeling he had reached the border. This is Shilla's border with Baekje.

At the same time, Gukseon Moon Noh was performing a prayer on the mountain of jonggak. Moon Noh was accompanied by two female priests and several male priests. Moon Noh sat facing the diagram of the pakua written on the wall of the hill. When Moon Noh began to open the scriptures, not long ago Moon Noh recited a spell arrived - suddenly the diagram of the pakua on the wall of the hill was cracked.
🌺🌺🌺🌺
At the same time King Jinheung was attacked. Two arrows shot towards him, King Jinheung pulled the reins of his horse, the pair of front legs raised upwards. Finally two arrows that drove it hurt the two front legs of King Jinheung's horse.
King Jienhung fell from the horse, he rolled on the ground. He raised his sword.
A squad dressed in black, wearing a black veil came to lock King Jienhung.
King Jienhung asked as he continued to pay attention to the situation, "You guys from Baekje?"
"Yes!" Answer one of them.
"We have come to avenge our former King*" he replied.
[*King Seong of Baekje, defeated by Shilla in battle in 554 A.D.]
Then one of the men gave an aba.
"Kill him!" Shouted one of the soldiers.
King Jinheung was ganged up, and surrounded by that black-robed army. King Jinheung was pressed, He fell because he was not strong enough to resist the sword attack, when the enemy's sword again attacked, several arrows shot towards the black-robed troops.
Three masked soldiers came to the rescue of King Jinheung, the leader of the three masked warriors leaping towards the black-robed army. King Jinheung was about to be slashed by the sword, quickly the masked soldier pulled King Jinheung back, while he jumped on the King and stood by with his sword.
Two masked fellow soldiers immediately acted, they attacked the black-robed army. King Jinheung is again in danger. Armed with a knife-wielding whip, the masked soldier finished off the entire black-robed army.
The masked soldier looked up, the corpse of the black-robed army, he opened his war helmet. He turned towards King Jinheung, then opened his mask. Turns out she was a woman. She is Mi Shil.
The masked warrior Mi Shil asks King Jinheung for forgiveness for their inability to keep the King. The king said he was innocent because of this because he was stubborn and did not listen to Mi Shil, he should not have checked the border alone. Mi Shil wants to bring the King back to the palace but the King refuses. The king wanted his grandson Baek Jeong to see Bukhansan across from Silla.
Two masked fellow soldiers kneeled before King Jinheung. Mishil kneels in front of King Jinheung.
"Your Majesty!, Your Majesty!, this is my negligence." The three of them begged for mercy.
"Don't do that, I didn't obey your words and was empty of death." King Jinheung stood quietly in front of his three soldiers.
"You shouldn't be riding alone on the border, Your Majesty. May you stop the journey and return to the palace." While kneeling Mi Shil pleaded.
"No." With a smile King Jinheung replied.
"But, Your Majesty!!" Mishil raised his head on his knees.
"I will take the successor to the throne of Baekjeong to Mount Bukhan, and show him the majesty of Shilla." King Jinheung said with great authority.

Bukhansan or Bukhan Mountain is a mountain north of Seoul. Seoul is bounded by Bukhan Mountain. At the top of this mountain the King praised all the efforts made by his men in conquering Bukhansan. The king praised Eul Jae for managing and stabilizing the palace, praising Se Jong and Noribu for their success in organizing the palace household. Praising Mi Shil as Captain Colonel of the Hwa Rang Women's Army who guards the King's family. Praise Seol Won Rang and Moon Noh, but Moon Noh is absent. The king gave up Silla in their protection, because of their existence Silla became like this.
"The place you're standing right now is my Shilla." King Jinheung the 24th Ruler of Shilla with a smile, beside Prince Baek Jeong and Prince Geumnyun.
"Where is it finally?!" King Jinheung.
"Long from Hwalchoryeon in the north, towards Danghang Fortress in the west." Mi Shil replied while looking down in a respectful position.
"That's all your hard work. You're opening a new Era, a new Shilla." Said King Jinheung looking at the surroundings.
King Jinheung looked towards Eul Jae constantly calling out to him.
"Eulje." Call King Jinheung.
Eul Jae bowed in respect.
"I commend your efforts in overcoming internal conflicts." King Jinheung praised.
"Your love is immeasurable, Your Majesty." Eul Jae Dae Deung.
King Jinheung's gaze turned to Se Jong and Noribu and called out to him.
"And so, Noribu and Sejong." King Jinheung.
Both of them saluted.
"You are responsible for organizing and guiding our Government and Military. I give you a very big award." King Jinheung.
"Your love is immeasurable, Your Majesty." They both answered.
"And Mishil." King Jinheung turned his eyes away.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Mi Shil smiled then bowed and replied.
"As wonhwa*, you lead Hwarang and develop new talent." King Jinheung.
[*Whonhwa is the Female Chief of wHwarang (Soldier of Shilla)]
"Seolwon." King Jinheung turned his gaze to Seol Won and called out.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Seol Won looked down respectfully.
"And, Munno." King Jinheung called Moon Noh.
"Munno is still in Jungak (Holy Mountain) to finish our ceremony." Mi Shil replied with a respectful bow.
"Mishil, Seolwon, Munno. I'm proud of your hard work." King jinheung continued.
"Your love is immeasurable, Your Majesty." Mi Shil and Seol Won answered in unison.
"From now on, Shilla will be in your hands. Because of all your efforts My dreams all this time, which seemed impossible, have now finally got results." King Jinheung.
"Your love is immeasurable, Your Majesty." All those present at the top of Bukhan mountain in unison replied.
The king told his grandson Baek Jeong who would become King of Jinpyeong to continue his wish, that the people present here would now help him realize his dream. But Prince Geum Ryun, who later became King Jinji was not happy. Prince Geum Ryun is the 2nd son of King Jinheung.
"Baekjeong*brainer*. You will inherit my Takhtaku, and inherit a bigger dream. Do you understand?" King Jinheung said, stroking the head of Prince Baek jeong who was standing next to him.
[*The Royal Successor is Baekjeong ~(Grandson of Jinheung, will be King of Jinpyeong)]
"Yes, Your Majesty." Prince Baek Jeong replied, looking at his grandfather and smiling.
King Jinheung nodded, then his gaze twisted towards his entire follower.
"alright. Everyone who is here will support your dream. No one will forbid you to rule them." King Jinheung laughed.
Hearing what his father, Prince Geumnyun ~ (Jinheung's 2nd Son, Will be King of Jinji) said in envy, he felt he was the one who was entitled to the throne instead of his nephew.
Mi shil looked at the change on Prince Geumnyun's face, from calm to furious,..
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
On the way back to the palace, Mi Shil accompanied King Jinheung in his carriage. Mi Shil said that if not King Jinheung would definitely not have such a big dream. The king said Mi Shil can also achieve such a dream. Suddenly the carriage shook and King Jinheung's tea spilled. Mi Shil checked and it turned out that one of the stretcher holders was sliding, Mi Shil gestured with his eyes for the person to be killed. Then he said to the King it was nothing, just a small matter.
Inside King Jinheung's tent, Lady Mi Shil poured tea and served it to King Jinheung. Then saying.
"If it were not for the noble even in the wildest dreams this would not have been possible." Mi Shil praised the King.
King Jinheung sat quietly facing the small table inside the tent, after sipping tea and answering.
"Is that what you think it is?." Putting tea cup.
"Of course it's like that." While pouring tea back Mi Shil replied.
"And how are you going to accomplish that?." King jin heung.
King Jinheung laughed, picked up the teacup, lifted it... After the cup was close to the mouth, the palanquin shook and spilled tea in King Jinheung's cup.
"Are you OK?" Mi Shil took a handkerchief, and cleaned up the tea spill in King Jinheung's clothes."
"Ohh, it's okay. Let's see what happens." King Jinheung laughed then replied.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Mi Shil replied in a panic.
Deftly Mi Shil opened the stretcher window. He saw the bodyguard holding a fallen stretcher tighter. The guard looked towards lady Mi Shil.
Then lady Mi Shil gave a sign with a headband. As if understanding with lady Mi Shil's orders, the bodyguard beheaded the stretcher intruder in that place as well.
Then the stretcher was lifted and walked, the sadistic face of lady Mi Shil was still plastered on the window of the tent. After walking normally for a while, lady Mi Shil reported to King Jinheung.
"There's nothing to worry about, Your Majesty." Lady Mi Shil's face was full of smiles.
King Jinheung tells of his experience when hunting and killing tigers with a small knife. Mi Shil wondered how the King was able to kill a tiger with just a dagger or a small knife, The King said because the tiger bit him, then he was able to stab the tiger's throat with a dagger so that the tiger died. He also said that while hunting he went alone but he managed to convince people to follow him so that with their help, he succeeded in the hunt. The ruler is not given by heaven but the people give it. Mi Shil is grateful for the deep life lessons of the King.
Lady Mi Shil returns to serve tea to King Jinheung.
"When I was a kid, I was attacked by a tiger." King Jinheung drank his tea, put down the cup, then said.
"How can I not know that famous tale of courage?!" Lady Mi Shil.
"I used this dagger to do it. Do you know this?" King Jinheung took his little dagger, then smiled.
"You mean, with this little dagger?" Lady Mi Shil was half in disbelief.
"It will be very difficult to injure the Tiger with this little dagger." King Jinheung told me.
"Then?!" Answer Mi Shil.
"The tiger bit my arm. If I try to break away from his jaw, I'll definitely lose my arm." King Jinheung continued.
Mi Shil listened to King Jinheung's talk with his mouth open.
"But I pushed my arm into the Tiger's mouth." King Jinheung continued.
"What?!" Mi Shil was surprised.
"And with this dagger... I slashed the tiger's throat." King Jinheung.
"Are you able to make quick decisions in that situation?" Ask Mi Shil again.
"I think it was just because of the anxiety that had arisen back then. The beast killed a friend of mine But, people probably won't believe it. So I always tell you that I used a big sword to do it." King Jinheung smiled.
"But you know what amuses me? When a man's arm is in the Tiger's mouth... Maybe it's the fate of a king." King Jinheung sipped tea.
Mi Shil was stunned.
"Sometimes, the Tiger could mean Baekje, it could also mean Goguryeo, or even the nobles in the palace. I always thought about that day, when it happened." King Jinheung continued.
"That's courage to admire... So that His Majesty is able to lead the Light into our era." Mi Shil then replied.
"If it only takes courage, others will easily seize my inheritance." Answer King Jinheung.
"Then... Is it because of His Majesty's thought? Maybe!?. Are you... Putting everything to Destiny?!" Mi Shil asked.
"Well it's the Crown of the kingdom or whatever. Unbelief in fate will make a person blind." King Jinheung replied.
"Then... Is it due to His Majesty's nature, to remain vigilant to the approaching danger?" Mi Shil asked.
"It's not like that." King Jinheung.
"Then..." Mi Shil asked.
"It's because of the people." Answer King Jinheung.
"When I faced the Tiger, I was alone. But starting that day. People started to accept me and follow me." King Jinheung looked at lady Mi Shil.
"In every obstacle I face. I had hundreds of people to help me deal with the beasts, and hundreds of people increased the next day. In the end, courage, misfortune, intelligence... They all joined me so that I could fight any beast." King Jinheung continued.
"This is not because of the destiny of the god who brought glory to the ruler. But because of his people. He can bring the trust of the people... Will create a new era." King Jinheung smiled.
"Your lowly concubine once again learned a valuable lesson." Mi Shil smiled.
After talking for a long time, King Jinheung felt his chest tight, then coughed cough, his right hand clenched his mouth. Mi Shil took a handkerchief, handing it to King Jinheung. King Jinheung took Mi Shil's handkerchief then used it to cover his mouth.
The handkerchief, saw many blood spots from His Majesty King Jinheung.
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Return to Gyeongju (Capital of Silla). Mi Shil is shocked by the King's deteriorating condition. King Jinheung asked Mi Shil to provide paper and ink. The king dictated his will to Mi Shil.
"I decided that my successor was my grandson Baek Jeong. With Eul Jae as an advisor. Regarding Prince Geum Ryun and Sae Ju Mi Shil, they cannot influence decisions in government politics. They must follow me in eternity*." King Jinheung said.
[*not following death but living a religious life. Silla is a country with Buddhism, so they become hwesio or nun ]
Mi Shil who was writing was shocked and choked. The king asked if he felt that it was unfair.
Mi Shil denies that the King is leaving, Mi Shil says he will leave earthly life. The king asked if Mi Shil would obey his orders.
Mi Shil said he would practice Buddhism and pray for the King. Mi Shil left the King's residence.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
The king calls Eul Jae and Baek Jeong to his residence. Then Seol Won Rang came.
The king said about his testimony to Mi Shil. Seol Won Rang said to the King not to say things that are not true.
The king said Seol Won Rang and Moon Noh must know his health condition.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
The king passed down a secret decree to Seol Won Rang and asked him to come closer and receive a letter.
The king asked Seol Won Rang to read his orders. The king ordered that Mi Shil be killed. Seol Won Rang was shocked.
The king said Mi Shil would never follow his orders according to his testimony. As he lived, Mi Shil was a precious treasure to Silla.
But after he died, Mi Shil was a disaster that would threaten Silla. The king asks if Seol Won Rang will obey him, and Seol Won Rang vows to obey him.
The king was calm. Seol Won Rang took the warrant and left.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
The king coughed loudly and rejected Kasim's suggestion to call the palace doctor. The king wondered why his grandchildren Baek Jeong and Eul Jae had not come after being summoned for so long.
Kasim said they'll be here soon. The king asked Kasim and the palace doctor to leave, he just wanted to see Baek Jeong.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Seol Won gave the secret order to Mi Shil and asked him to read the order.
Seol Won* said that the King has gone too far, Mi Shil said the King is the great King of the Silla dynasty if the King is not wise it is impossible to reach this position.
[*Seol Won Rang is the 9th captain of Hwa Rang's army and he is Mi Shil's lover.]
Seol Won asked Mi Shil what he would do, Mi Shil said what else he could do.
Mi Shil wondered why Eul Jae had not yet arrived at the palace. Pastor Moon Noh is still praying on the mountain, Mi Shil said this is the will of the sky, he asked Seo Won Rang to prepare.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Meanwhile Moon Noh on the mountain prays, reads the stars, and tries to see what will happen.
seriated.
