The next day, the Palace's Supreme Court was held. Different from the usual this time the trial was held openly, and could be attended by all levels of society.
King Jinpyeong, accompanied by Minister Misaeng, headed for the open court.
"It is an honor to have the opportunity to accompany you here and witness this Open Council Meeting, Your Majesty." Misaeng said to King Jinpyeong.
The King looked angrily at Mi Saeng but not a single word came out of his mouth. One by one the members of the open council began to arrive at the designated place.
"Everyone will feel the same way?! Who wouldn't want to be tied to a marriage with the King's family?!" Mi Saeng explained.
The king looked at him without speaking.
"If all else fails, back off." Mi Saeng continued.
"I myself will choose the 36*th stratagem*." Mi Saeng smiled.
[*Zou Wei Shang (philosophist) teaches the art of combat.]
"My sister might be able to, but I can't let her do it alone. Even in the old days, until the crown and His Majesty receive it, he will never stop." Mi Saeng smiled cunningly.
"Just close your eyes, and think of another way to get the crown prince in bed. If you do. I'll tell you a lot of interesting stories." Mi Saeng glanced at Mi Shil who was sitting in the open court chair.
King Jinpyeong was really angry, but any anger he could not do anything. He just looked bitterly at Mi Saeng who dared insult him.
"That's the most amazing taste." Mi Saeng said again.
Mi Saeng laughed out loud then looked at the King who was holding back in anger and annoyance.
"All right." Mi Saeng said, while still laughing mockingly.

The atmosphere in the noble council session was very calm. The Council members, Ministers, invitations and Nobles were already seen filling the open courtroom.
The Council of Nobles and King's advisors began. There were ten members of the main Nobles, they sat around the table, and formed a circle.
Among the members of the Council, Eul Jae Dae deung, was included. He is the only supporter of His Majesty. Seven of the Council's ten members are supporters of Lady Mi Shil. Two out of ten members of the Council are neutral groups.
Supporters of Lady Mi Shil aim to make Lady Mi Shil as Queen consort of King Jinpyeong, replacing Empress Maya who has disappeared since the riots in the coup deposed King Jinji.
"It seems His Majesty is late." One of them spoke.
"What if he doesn't come?" Nobility Noribu with a sly smile.
"This is an open council session. So it is very difficult for His Majesty not to attend this event." Minister Se Jong chuckled.
"Bringing the new Empress by His Majesty's side seems very tiring." Nobles Noribu smiled.
"I agree." The nine of them laughed, Eul Jae Dae deung just silently looked at them.
("From the beginning, this was their plan, overthrowing Empress Maya and elevating Lady Mi Shil to empress..") Inner Eul Jae Dae deung.
"His Majesty is here!" Shouted guards announcing the arrival of King Jinpyeong.
King Jinpyeong enters an open courtroom escorted by minister Mi Saeng. His Majesty the King was escorted by approximately twelve bodyguards, and six ladies-in-waiting.
All those present in the courtroom stood up, opening the way for the King. Misaeng seceded with Lady Mi Shil and Seol Won Rang who arrived.
Mi Shil looked at Mi Saeng meaningfully, Mi Saeng understood what Mi Shil meant by nodding her head with a smile.
King Jinpyeong sits on the seat of honor. Followed by Lady Mi Shil and other court members. With an annoyed face King Jinpyeong glanced at Mi Shil and his allies.
"Open the curtain." Guards shouting.
White curtain courtroom cover, start to open. The ten members of the main council stood around the round table.
They saluted King Jinpyeong by bowing their heads.
"We're about to begin the Council Meeting, Your Majesty." Nobles Noribu represented the members of the congregation, requesting the permission of His Majesty the King.
Simultaneously after King Jinpyeong nodded his head in agreement, the ten members of the congregation were seated in their seats.
"Dear *Gungju... Has served the kingdom since the time of the great King Jinheung. According to this tradition of the heavenly Kingdom. Supposedly Princess Mishil has devoted herself to religious affairs." Eul Jae Dae deung started the trial conversation.
*[Gungju: can be interpreted as Empress]
"After His Majesty's death?! But she said she wanted to be crowned the new Queen, which is an insult to our tradition." Eul Jae Dae Deung continued his words.
"However, after his glorious death. Princess Mi Shil managed to stabilize the internal and diplomatic affairs of the country." Prime Minister Se Jong glanced at Nobles Noribu.
"Ending the social frenzy engulfing the country, he did. Not to mention the fact that His late Majesty declared himself." Nobility Noribu added.
"Chairwoman Hwarang and the royal seal holder, as Wonhwa and Seju, Shilla's future is in her hands." Nobility Noribu continued.
Seol Won and Lady Mi Shil smiled triumphantly waiting for the trial. While the Young King Jinpyeong seriously paid attention to the course of this open trial.
"Did he not deserve to continue the efforts of the previous King? he also served the kingdom." Minister Se Jong continued the words of Nobles Noribu, smiling.
"He knows more than anything." Minister Kim Huljik speaking.
"And deserve to be on the King's side?! as Empress." Nobility Noribu continued.
"I believe she has the virtue to represent us as First Lady. Not to mention the fact.this is a matter that His Majesty has agreed to.." Nobles Noribu smiled cunningly.
"true." Prime Minister Se Jong confirmed.
"This is also the request of His Majesty." Minister Se Jong added.
King Jinpyeong was very agitated, it was obvious he had entered Lady Mi Shil's trap. His face was sweating, tension was evident in his mannerisms.
While Lady Mi Shil who was aware of King Jinpyeong's change just smiled and continued to pay attention to the Young King.
They looked at each other, King Jinpyeong threw away his face, Lady Mi Shil kept smiling, a triumphant smile.
Nobles Noribu, as the leader of the congregation took a wooden hammer and beat on a bamboo board. Then announced to the entire audience, the final decision was made through voting.
"Because this meeting is quite complicated. Bring the Voting board." Nobles Noribu said.
Then entered ten ladies and gentlemen, each ladyboy carrying a wooden box containing 2 pieces of wood shaped badge, saying agree and disagree.
