“Do you hate Ja-Jo-Mi, too?” asked San-Syeng of the inn-keeper.[1](1/ "tree and pragmatics") “The same as every one else, sir.”[2](2/ "tree and pragmatics") “Well, it doesn’t seem an easy matter to me to overthrow this Ja-Jo-Mi.[3](3/ "tree and pragmatics") He has the army with him and they haven’t much love for the common people.”[4](4/ "tree and pragmatics") “That’s where you are wrong, sir.[5](5/ "tree and pragmatics") The only troops really devoted to the Prime Minister’s cause are those at the Capital; in fact, the others are hostile to him.[6](6/ "tree and pragmatics") Why, the garrison of our town and the Mandarin himself are opposed to Ja-Jo-Mi.[7](7/ "tree and pragmatics") If our Mandarin were to appeal to the soldiers who are here and if his example were followed by the other Mandarins, Ja-Jo-Mi and his satellites could easily be put down.”[8](8/ "tree and pragmatics") “But once Ja-Jo-Mi is deposed, whom can they place upon the throne?”[9](9/ "tree and pragmatics") “That, sir, is a difficult question.[10](10/ "tree and pragmatics") Unhappily, the King’s son is dead.[11](11/ "tree and pragmatics") Perhaps, however, a member of the Royal Family might be found who would accept the trust.”[12](12/ "tree and pragmatics") “And suppose, for the sake of argument, that it were not true that the King’s son were dead?”[13](13/ "tree and pragmatics") “The simplest thing would be to confer upon him the succession to his father.”[14](14/ "tree and pragmatics") “Your reasoning is good,” continued San-Syeng.[15](15/ "tree and pragmatics") “You stand well in the eyes of the people and you are a friend of the Mandarin.[16](16/ "tree and pragmatics") Would you consent for us to undertake the enterprise?”[17](17/ "tree and pragmatics") “Willingly,” replied the innkeeper.[18](18/ "tree and pragmatics") “We should get together on this.[19](19/ "tree and pragmatics") I must, however, leave you now for a while.[20](20/ "tree and pragmatics") I’ll see you presently.”[21](21/ "tree and pragmatics") When he was alone with Ki-Si, San-Syeng asked: “Would you like to join us in our fight against Ja-Jo-Mi?”[22](22/ "tree and pragmatics") At the question the Prince, who had seemed afflicted with great uneasiness and a sort of illness during the preceding conversation, fell to the floor in a faint.[23](23/ "tree and pragmatics") San-Syeng turned his attention at once to the prostrate form of his friend who lay as rigid as a log and seemed to be unable to utter the least sound.[24](24/ "tree and pragmatics") San-Syeng called Cheng-Si and she came running in terror to her husband.[25](25/ "tree and pragmatics") San-Houni’s son told her what had taken place.[26](26/ "tree and pragmatics") The young woman threw herself on her husband’s breast and drenched him with her tears.[27](27/ "tree and pragmatics") San-Syeng, profoundly moved by this sight, cried to Cheng-Si: “In Heaven’s name, madame, tell me who you are!”[28](28/ "tree and pragmatics") “I have great confidence in you, sir.[29](29/ "tree and pragmatics") You have saved our lives and I will tell you the truth.[30](30/ "tree and pragmatics") My husband is Ja-Jo-Mi’s victim, the King’s son.[31](31/ "tree and pragmatics") I met him by chance.[32](32/ "tree and pragmatics") I fell into the sea and was carried by a turtle to the island where the Prince was held captive.[33](33/ "tree and pragmatics") I became his wife and we fled from our prison together and you met us, rescued us, and brought us here.[34](34/ "tree and pragmatics") That’s our story.[35](35/ "tree and pragmatics") And, now you understand, sir, do you not?”[36](36/ "tree and pragmatics") Meanwhile the young King had regained consciousness.[37](37/ "tree and pragmatics") When San-Syeng observed this he began to withdraw toward the door saying: “Sire, forgive my imprudence--excuse my impatience--.”[38](38/ "tree and pragmatics") Ki-Si tried to stop him.[39](39/ "tree and pragmatics") “No, sire, first of all you must pardon the familiarity with which I treated you.[40](40/ "tree and pragmatics") My excuse is that I did not know with what august personages I was speaking.[41](41/ "tree and pragmatics") Now that I do know, it is hardly fitting that I remain in the same room as yourselves.”[42](42/ "tree and pragmatics") It happened that the owner of the inn was passing before the door of the room where Ki-Si and his wife were and San-Syeng promptly told him the story.[43](43/ "tree and pragmatics") The innkeeper prostrated himself and, with his face to the floor, cried: “It is a supreme honor to be permitted to house Your Majesties.”[44](44/ "tree and pragmatics") He lost no time in telling the Mandarin, who was thunderstruck with amazement and who could scarcely suppress his joy at hearing the news.[45](45/ "tree and pragmatics") Summoning an escort of troops, he marched to the inn where the King lodged.[46](46/ "tree and pragmatics") The soldiers surrounded the house, while the Mandarin, in all the glory of his gorgeous robes, went to pay his respects to the Sovereign.[47](47/ "tree and pragmatics") The Prince gave him a hearty welcome.[48](48/ "tree and pragmatics") By his side stood San-Syeng, who, after bowing to the King, turned to the Mandarin and said: “We must take our Sovereign to the To-Wan (the Mandarin’s palace, or town hall) so that he may be sheltered by a roof worthy of his rank.”[49](49/ "tree and pragmatics") The Mandarin approved this suggestion, and at once the party set out for the To-Wan.[50](50/ "tree and pragmatics") Hardly was he there before the King turned to San-Syeng, saying: “I wish to bring about a complete re-organization of the Government.”[51](51/ "tree and pragmatics") “Sire, all my ability, all my strength, are at your disposal,” was San-Syeng’s respectful reply.[52](52/ "tree and pragmatics") “Good, then you become my General!” replied the Prince.[53](53/ "tree and pragmatics") San-Syeng was confused, but had to obey the wishes of the Prince and he knew the latter would confer offices only upon those whom he deemed the most worthy among his followers.[54](54/ "tree and pragmatics") Orders were issued for the preparation of a great banquet and for the dispatch of couriers to all corners of the Kingdom to announce to the people the coming of their King.[55](55/ "tree and pragmatics") This welcome news put joy and happiness into the hearts of the Koreans, and shouts of joy were heard throughout the length and breadth of the land.[56](56/ "tree and pragmatics") “O Beloved King\![57](57/ "tree and pragmatics") Night has vanished to give place to the day.[58](58/ "tree and pragmatics") The times of wretchedness and evil are gone and the era of happiness is at hand.[59](59/ "tree and pragmatics") Clouds were hiding the face of the Sun, and the flowers, deprived of light, were wasting away; but the wind has swept away the clouds and the light comes to us again.[60](60/ "tree and pragmatics") Everything will flourish in the gentle, healthful rays of the wonderful Sun. Hail, son, hail brother--hail to our King\![61](61/ "tree and pragmatics") Forward\![62](62/ "tree and pragmatics") Hold back--not for fire, nor for the waters, nor for the mountains.[63](63/ "tree and pragmatics") Sweep aside all obstacles.[64](64/ "tree and pragmatics") If the wicked-hearted seek to restrain you, kill them.[65](65/ "tree and pragmatics") But look ever to the Sun; its warmth will give you strength and courage.[66](66/ "tree and pragmatics") We want you--beloved King\![67](67/ "tree and pragmatics") And we will serve you and keep you always.[68](68/ "tree and pragmatics") Now--away with tender things and soft things--we’re off to war!”[69](69/ "tree and pragmatics") While the populace was manifesting its delight in talk and other harmless ways, the King was busy with his preparations for the overthrowing of the usurper.[70](70/ "tree and pragmatics") He questioned San-Syeng as to the distance to the Capital.[71](71/ "tree and pragmatics") This distance was considerable and, at the advice of his General, he decided that he would put his forces on the march as soon as possible.[72](72/ "tree and pragmatics") San-Syeng took an active interest in the training of the army.[73](73/ "tree and pragmatics") To toughen his men, he made them attach small, but heavy, bags of sand to their legs.[74](74/ "tree and pragmatics") For an entire day they were obliged to march with this equipment.[75](75/ "tree and pragmatics") The following day, the army broke camp and took the field.[76](76/ "tree and pragmatics") The soldiers now having only their weapons to carry, made rapid progress.[77](77/ "tree and pragmatics") At the end of two days they were before the Capital City.[78](78/ "tree and pragmatics") San-Syeng stationed his troops in a cordon about the city with orders to let no one--no matter who it might be--leave or enter the town.[79](79/ "tree and pragmatics") Then he wrote an ultimatum, which he ordered to be copied many times on strips of bamboo, and distributed widely in all parts of the city.[80](80/ "tree and pragmatics") This proclamation announced the arrival of the legitimate King at the head of his army and that His Majesty came to give battle to the unfaithful Minister, Ja-Jo-Mi, the unscrupulous.[81](81/ "tree and pragmatics") The latter was living in an atmosphere of absolute security.[82](82/ "tree and pragmatics") Entertainment followed entertainment; feast followed feast.[83](83/ "tree and pragmatics") Suddenly it was announced to Ja-Jo-Mi that the King’s son was at the gates of the Capital with an army and that there was a great disturbance among the people.[84](84/ "tree and pragmatics") **1** [2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg78208/10/page/2/) - ← previous: [Winning Buddha’s Smile, part 7](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg78208/9/) - next →: [page 2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg78208/10/page/2/) - ↑ back to [Winning Buddha's smile](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg78208/)
