Chapter 145
Based on the schedule for that day, King Sejo, together with the Ming envoy's group were supposed to spend a few hours gliding along the Han river. After thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere, while drinking, eating and listening to music, they would finally return to the court for a short rest.
During this short intermission, Jun went to the Palace to arrange the matters with the guards that were on duty that night. He carefully selected those who would stay with him on the banquet vessel, as well as those who would remain to watch the outside area. Needless to say that among these guards were also some of his own personal men, disguised as Palace guards.
Just a few hours before the banquet was supposed to begin, an uproar erupted right in front of the Palace's main gate. As head of the guards, Jun hastily went to see what was going on.
