Open up!

Open this gate at once!

Open it.

Open the gate.

Open the gate.

Open the gate.

Open it.

Open it.

Open the gate.

Open it.

Open.

Your Highness. You can't do this.

I'd rather take the poison!

Your Highness!

- Sir!

- Please!

This could get the Royal Grandson killed.

Let him murder his own son. His grandson, too!

Let him kill everyone!

Your Highness...

Your Highness...

Kill us all! Let him reign for

thousands of years all by himself.

Lock him up again.

Let go of me.

Why is it all my fault?

Think about what you did to me.

You have no right to say that.

If you're so blameless...

Then, kill me now!

Shut the lid.

This is not the conduct of a king.

This is not the conduct of a king!

Your Highness, you must think of the future.

Bind the chest.

Put moss over it.

In regular homes, parents raise

their children with love.

But in the royal household,

they regard their children as enemies.

Why do you think that is?

How can a father's love

for his child be different?

It is different.

Every time I visit the Shrines,

I hear the bloody cries of my forefathers.

This here

is the shrine of my father, Sukjong the Great

who reigned for 46 years.

This king bestowed poison upon his wife.

And this is the shrine of my older brother,

Gyeongjong the Great.

People say that I killed him

to steal the throne.

What do you think?

I'm sure it's nothing more than a malicious rumor

created by your opposition.

Pay no heed, Sire.

There are kings who have killed their own

brothers and nephews

to preserve the dynasty.

To regard children as enemies

in a royal household...

Can you understand now?

You will when you become King.

No, Your Majesty!

How can you command us

something we cannot accept?

I have waited 25 years for this day.

Now that Crown Prince has come of age,

it's time for me to hand over the throne.

Stop the King at once.

He is not speaking from his heart again.

The Crown Prince still has more to learn.

Why do you interrupt his studies

by giving him duties as king?

I never cared for the throne.

As you all know, I only held

the position temporarily

since my brother had no heir.

Indeed, we know Your Majesty's

genuine intentions.

Let us assist you with even greater effort.

Your Majesty, please revoke your royal decree.

We beg of you, Your Majesty!

If so, what if I make

the Crown Prince regent?

Is that also unacceptable?

Creation of the Hangul alphabet and

expansion of northern territories are

known feats of Sejong the Great.

But these were achieved

during his son Munjong's regency.

That is why they say

that regency ruling has no real reward.

My Teachers,

the regency is for Father, not me.
