Chapter 359
As the situation settled, the court moved swiftly. Following the agreed-upon results, they reassigned personnel and checked the situation. Amidst this busy activity, a secret envoy carrying King Sejong’s handwritten letter crossed the sea.
Morimi, upon receiving King Sejong’s handwritten letter, checked its contents and spoke.
“This doesn’t seem to be something we can decide right away. Please wait a moment.”
“Certainly.”
After asking the envoy to wait, Morimi put his heads together with his retainers.
“You’ve all heard the contents, so there’s no need to repeat them. What do you think we should do?”
“Including the planned education period, they’ll be staying in Joseon for nearly ten years. They might even end up naturalizing in Joseon.”
“Joseon’s governance is completely different from ours. What use would it be to learn their ways of ruling?”
Initially, those opposing the idea were in the majority. However, as they noticed Morimi’s unfavorable expression, opinions started to shift towards accepting Joseon’s proposal.
