Kim Dong-jun announced the dismissal of Choi Soo-jong, who opposed his wishes.
In the KBS 2TV historical drama ‘Goryeo Khitan War’, a special project for the public broadcaster’s 50th anniversary that aired on the 13th, Hyeonjong (played by Kim Dong-jun) was depicted turning his back on Kang Gam-chan (Choi Soo-jong).
King Hyeonjong called the princess’s thief, Kim Eun-bu (Cho Seung-yeon), to Gaegyeong. The priest offered greetings to King Hyeonjong along with her daughter Wonseong (played by Ha Seung-ri). This marked the beginning of King Hyeonjong’s plan to reform the noble class. King Hyeonjong called together his ministers and presented a plan to subdue the nobles, and ministers including Gang Gam-chan expressed opposing opinions, telling them to take time to discuss. In particular, Gang Gam-chan visited King Hyeonjong separately and gave him advice that now was the time to prepare for the re-invasion of the Khitans rather than to reform the nobles.
Hyeonjong confessed his true feelings to Kim Eun-bu, saying that he did not understand why Kang Gam-chan was taking such an opposing stance this time. Kim Eun-bu told Hyeonjong to throw out Kang Gam-chan if he rebelled until the end. He continued, “I am very sorry to report this, but the scholar monk is also a noble person. “It is a great tiger, one of the top ten,” he said. In response, Hyeonjong defended Gang Gam-chan, saying, “I am not the person to oppose for that reason.”
At that time, the Khitan army’s skirmishers were discovered in Heunghwajin, and a tense atmosphere was created again. The Khitan was also making plans to invade Goryeo once again. Sobaeap said he would once again gather troops. The size is 100,000. He said, “This time I will leave it to his generals. Goryeo is a small land. His Majesty cannot go to a place like that twice. Now leave it to the soldiers. “We will definitely capture the King of Goryeo,” he said.
Meanwhile, at the suggestion of Kim Eun-bu, Hyeonjong met separately with the ministers of the government and asked them to be on his side. Afterwards, King Hyeonjong called the ministers and once again revealed his intention to reform the noble family, saying, “Take strict control of whether there are those who oppose this project.” Kang Gam-chan said, “The war is not over yet. Please focus on preparing for war. “Now is not the time to reform the country, but to preserve it,” he said, raising his voice in opposition. King Hyeonjong said, “I have no choice but to doubt the Lord’s intention. “Don’t block my will any more,” he replied coldly.
However, things did not go as King Hyeonjong wanted. After hearing the news that the officials of the Yebu had requested their resignation, King Hyeonjong went around the Yebu, Hobu, Study, and Ibu and saw with his own eyes that the Yebu was empty. Kang Gam-chan also heard this news. Gang Gam-chan visited King Hyeonjong and said, “The government is collapsing. As time passes, there is no way to fix it. “Preparing for war will also stop,” he said.
Hyeonjong said, “Please. please help me “There will be a solution,” he said, holding Kang Gam-chan’s hand and begging for help. Kang Gam-chan shook his head and said, “I can’t help you. “Now is not the time,” he said, refusing. Hyeonjong said, “Is it really because of that reason? Or is Gyeongdo also a noble family? A great noble family with numerous slaves. Are you a member of a noble family? Then leave. “I don’t need you anymore,” he said angrily.
King Hyeonjong called Gang Gam-chan to a gathering of ministers and declared, “I will dismiss the governor.” While everyone was shocked, Kang Gam-chan closed his eyes tightly.
