JOSEON ROYAL PALACE, COURT ROOM
The evening court is full of ministers and officials, everyone wearing their official robes and standing according to the ranks, waiting for the king. According to the king's previous decree, everyone present there are officials above junior 7th rank. The king's rival factions, ministers, and officials are talking about what could be today's agenda. Other than the king's supporting factions, no one knows about this.
The court eunuch announced in a loud voice,
"ATTENTION, HIS MAJESTY THE KING IS MAKING HIS PRESENCE IN THE COURT"
Ministers and officials bowed and shouted in unison.
"Greetings, your majesty"
The king sat on the throne and began to speak.
"Today I have a very important proposal; it will also determine the future of the Joseon, so I hope ministers and officials will make a wise decision"
The right state councillor came forward and said respectfully
"We await his majestys order"
The inspector general also asked
"Your Majesty, please tell us the matter; we will try our best to help you sire"
The king spoke after a moment of silence: "You all know that the first prince is already three years old, and I also don't want to leave the position of crown prince vacant any longer"
He looked around, then spoke again: "That is why I also want to know about your opinions"
The minister of personnel affairs stepped forward and said
"A very wise decision, your majesty; a position like crown prince shouldn't be left vacant any longer"
"But the prince is still too young to hold such an important position" said the minister of justice in a sharp voice.
Right state councillor came forward and spoke in a authoritc tone
"There are many crown princes who were younger than the first prince"
"I agree with the right state councillor, your majesty, said the minister of personnel affairs calmly.
Minister of Rites steps forward with a cunning smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, the prince is still young; I suggest we should first proceed with education"
The minister of public works also spoke calmly.
"My lord minister of rites is right, your majesty; after the young prince finishes 'Three Bonds and Five Relationships Illustrated,' then I believe that we can proceed further about this matter"
The minister of personnel said
"The prince can start his education after becoming the crown prince"
The right state councillor also said
"Yes, your majesty, I agree with the minister of personnel"
The king's rival factions, ministers, and officials said in unison,
"Your Majesty, let's start with the young prince's education first"
King's factions also spoke in unison
"Your Majesty, we can't delay the matter of the crown prince any longer"
The court became a turmoil, both factions arguing endlessly, but for the first time, the king didn't feel any pressure; he spoke with absolute authority.
"Enough! Stop this pointless conversations"
The courtroom went silent
This time the inspector general spoke first braking
"Your Majesty, may this servant ask why you think the argument is a pointless "
"Yes your majesty, we all want to know" the whole court said in unison.
The king smiled brightly and said
"My dear ministers and officials, I forgot to say that the prince had already finished " Thousand Characters and Three Bonds and Five Relationships Illustrated' a month ago"
"This is also the reason why I don't want to leave the position of crown prince vacant any longer"
Both sides fell silent and started to look at each other. Not only the king's rival faction but also the royal faction were very surprised by the king's words. They know that the first prince is different from other kids, but to be able to remember 'The Thousand Characters and Three Bonds and Five Relationships Illustrated' at such a young age is truly unimaginable. Some people are discussing, some are dissatisfied, some are happy, and some are questioning.
The royal court became a whispering hall.
Suddenly the inspector general said
"Your Majesty, without any disrespect, this loyal servant of yours asked for proof."
King's rival factions also spoke in unison
"Please show your loyal servants some proof, your majesty"
The minister of military affairs shouted angrily
"How dare you! Disrespecting his majesty like that"
The inspector general calmly said
"We are not disrespecting his majesty; we are just asking a simple question, which is our right as his majesty's loyal servants."
These words are enough to shut everyone's mouth.
Looking at the court's situation, the king spoke.
"What do you want me to do inspector general"
"Your Majesty, the night still has not fallen. Why not bring the young prince here and ask some simple questions? This will not only clear everyone's doubt but also legitimize him to become the crown prince"
"Your words have logic. Ok, ok, someone bring the young prince here immediately" said the king.
"Yes your majesty" answered a eunuch.
The young prince came to court and bowed to the king respectfully.
"Good evening, your majesty"
"The prime minister's here; will a few questions answer them properly ok"
"Understood your majesty"
"Ok you all can start now" said the king
The minister started to ask questions, and the prince answered their every question like nothing. The prince's behavior, straight answers, left not only the ministers but also the king stunned.
The minister started commenting
"The country has a very bright future" said the minister of personnel.
"You are absolutely right, my lord minister of personnel, what do you think my lord inspector general"
The inspector general spoke hesitatently
"I..l agree"
Most of the comments are like that, either praising the prince or congratulating the king"
In the end, all the ministers and officials congratulated the king together.
"Congratulations your majesty"
Inner Thoughts
(KING: That's my boy. If I am not the king, then I will definitely praise him to my heart's content. I feel like ten years younger. I should thank the inspector general for this opportunity.
(INSPECTOR GENERAL: How is this even possible? How can a child behave like this? Every single answer, he said them so clearly and confidently (unbelievable).
(Minister of Military Affairs: This boy, his aura, he is different, unshaken while facing so many people at such a young age. Truly he feels like someone worth serving. (Well, let destiny decide what to do in the future.)
Thoughts Ended
"Does anyone have any more questions" The king looked at the silent court and then continued, "Ok, I will give you tonight. Think carefully and answer me at tomorrow morning's court."
The court ended.
