ANNALS OF KING MU OF BAEKJE (?-641. Reign : 600-641).

King Mu was an illegitimate son of King Wideok. His name was Jang. He became the king on May of 600 after the death of King Beop. He had great appearance, broad mind, and outstanding spirit.

On July of 604, King Mu sent the Minister of the Left Wang Hyorin and Yeon Moonjin to Sui China to deliver the message that Baekje was willing to help Sui's invasion of Goguryeo. Goguryeo invaded Songsan Fortress right after they heard this news, but the invasion ended in failure. They then attacked Seokdu Fotress and captured 3,000 peasants. Baekje sent another messenger to Sui after this war for an invading alliance against Goguryeo.

On April of 611, King Mu sent Kook Jimo to Sui to deliver another message on Baekje's willingness to help China against Goguryeo. On 612, Emperor Yang of Sui invaded Goguryeo with 1,130,000 troops. Baekje ignored their past promises and stayed out of the war. Sui lost and retreated after few months. Emperor Yang couldn't stand the humiliation and continued to attack Goguryeo for the next 3 years, which all failed.

On July of 627, Baekje's General Sa Geol conquered two Shilla fotresses in Shilla's westernmost region and captured 300 Shillans. King Mu declared a total war on Shilla after this. King Jinpyung asked for Tang's help to prevent Baekje attack. King Mu sent his nephew Bokshin to pay tributes to China in order to be on Tang's good side.

Emperor Taizong of Tang called all 3 messengers from Goguryeo, Baekje, Shilla and demanded them to stop fighting. King Mu promised that he will stop the war, but he broke the promise by attacking Shilla's Kajam Fortress on Feburary of 628. Baekje couldn't beat Shilla's resistance and retreated.

On 629, King Mu sent a diplomat to Tang in order to gain China's trust again. On 630, the palace was repaired. On Janurary of 632, King Mu named his oldest son Uija as the Crown Prince. On February, the Macheon Fortress was repaired. On July, King Mu enjoyed hunting. On August of 633, Baekje conquered the Seogok Fortress in just 13 days. On 634, Wang Heung Temple was completed after 30 years of constrution that started during King Beop's rule. King Mu prayed in the temple very often.

On March of 636, King Mu partied in the nothern port of Sabi River. King Mu got very drunk in this party. He played the Geomungo(Korean instrument), sang songs, and danced with his subjects. On May of 636, King Mu sent General Woo So to attack Doksan Fortress of Shilla. Woo So lost and got captured Shilla's Alcheon. On August of same year, King Mu partied again. On March of 638, King Mu partied with his concubines in the middle of a lake on the boat.

On December of 637, King Mu sent an iron armor and an axe to Emperor Taizong as gifts. On October of 639, King Mu sent an iron armor and an axe to Emperor Taizong as gifts again. On 640, King Mu demanded the acceptance of his children to National School of Tang.

THE GREAT KING'S DREAM" HISTORICAL FEVER.

"The Great King's Dream" has been reviewed favorably for its outstanding cast of younger actors and actresses as well as the quick spread out of the story.

The fourth episode of the KBS 1TV drama "The Great King's Dream" showed Ga Jam-seong at risk of being taken down by the Baekjae army and King Gal-moon (Hong Il-kwon) justified marriage with Deok-man (Seon Joo-ah) by going off to war.

However unlike the wish of the people who long for a rescue, King Gal-moon fell into women and booze and postponed any further progress. When Yong-chun (Jeong Dong-hwan) asked for an advance, the king's insanity went off and tried to kill his son Chun-soo (Chae Sang-woo).

In this process, Seon Joo-ah and Chae Sang-woo displayed eyes and expressions and well as speech unlike a child actor. Lee Se-yeong in the role of Cheon Gwan-nyeon had beauty and poise enough to make anyone fall for her at first sight.

Those who have seen the program say, "This is what they call quality acting", "I can't help but be engrossed in the drama because of the excellent performance", "50 minutes isn't long enough. Every single scene is impressive", "Historicals are thought of being stiff but "The Great King's Dream" is so good" and more.

in history Bi Hyung (the black man) and Gil Dal (the blond man) didn't have anything to do or related with Yushin or Baekje (like the drama depicted.). They only appeared in folk legend:
Bi Hyung and Gildal were both from legends. According to legend, King Jinji tried to make a peasant girl as his concubine. The peasant girl refused to marry since she was already married. King Jinji died few months after getting dethroned. His ghost then raped the peasant girl and the peasant girl gave birth to Bi Hyung. When King Jinpyung found this out, he raised Bi Hyung in the palace. When Bi Hyung grew up, he always went out of palace during nights. Jinpyung found this strange, so he ordered his servant to follow him. It turned out that Bi Hyung was hanging out with ghosts every night. Jinpyung ordered these ghosts to build a bridge in the river and the ghosts completed the bridge over just one night. Gildal was one of these ghosts. Gildal got adopted by Imjong and was given a job to guard the gate of a Buddhist temple. One day, Gildal transformed into a fox and ran away. Bi Hyung chased after Gildal and killed him. All of Bi Hyung's ghost friends feared him after Gildal's death, so they ran away and never came back again.

Annals of Queen Seondeok(?-647 R.632-647)

Seondeok was the 2nd daughter of King Jinpyung and Queen Maya. Her full name was Kim Deokman. She became the first female ruler of Shilla on January of 632. On December of the same year, QSD sent a diplomat to Tang China in order to pay tributes and let Tang know that she became the new monarch. On July of 633, QSD paid tributes to Tang again. Li Shimin, or Emperor Taizong of Tang, refused to aknowledge QSD as the new monarch of Shilla until 635, because she was a woman. QSD hated Taizong for this reason.

Taizong once sent Seondeok a picture of peony blossom and its actual seeds as gifts. QSD noticed that the picture didn't have any butterflies in it and said that "The Chinese emperor sent this picture to mock me for being a single woman." She also knew that the peony blossom would not have any scent, because the picture didn't have any butterflies. On 640, QSD requested Tang China to accept Shilla royal family members as students of Tang's National School.

On 643, Taizong mocked QSD in front of her messenger by saying "The neighboring countries look down on your country, because you have a woman as your monarch. Your country is never peaceful, because it is full of people who became thieves after losing a ruler. I will send one of my relative to Shilla to be your monarch."

On August of 633, Baekje attacked Shilla's westernmost region. On May of 636, Baekje's General Woo So attacked Doksan Fortress. Shilla's General Alcheon annihilated this Baekje forces. On October of 638, Goguryeo attacked the northernmost region of Shilla. On November, Goguyreo attacked Chil Joong Fotress, but they retreated after losing to Alcheon. QSD made Haseulra as the northern capital(Bukyoung) of Shilla and ordered Jin Ju to guard it.

On 641, Uija became the king of Baekje after King Mu's death. On July of 642, Baekje conquered 40 fotresses in Shilla's west region. On August, Goguryeo conquered Dang Hang Fortress of Shilla. On the same month, Baekje's General Yoon Choong conquered Dae Ya Fotress of Shilla and killed Poom Seok the Lord of Dae Ya and his wife Kotaso(KCC's daughter), Jook Jook, and Yong Seok.

QSD was very surprised about this news, so she sent KCC to Goguryeo to request Goguryeo's help against Baekje. Yeon Gae So Moon, the Dictator of Goguryeo, answered that he would help if Shilla gives away all of its territories above Juknyoung. KCC got very upset by hearing this and yelled at YGSM. YGSM imprisoned KCC for yelling at him.

KCC lied to YGSM that Shilla would do as YGSM wants in order to go back home. QSD asked Tang for help since Goguryeo was unwilling to help Shilla. Taizong gave 3 plans to QSD's messenger :

1. Tang will order the Khitans and Malgal to invade Yodong(Liadong in Chinese) of Goguryeo. Goguryeo would be then too busy fighting on the north, so Shilla won't be attacked.
2. Goguryeo and Baekje army will run like cowards if Shillans wear Tang Chinse clothes and wave the Tang flag at Goguryeo and Baekje.
3. He will dethrone QSD and make one of his relative as the new king of Shilla

Taizong was obviously mocking Shilla, so QSD's messenger returned to Shilla without giving Taizong any answer. On January of 644, QSD requested for Tang's help again. Taizong sent Li Xuan Jiang to Goguryeo and advised them to stop attacking Shilla. YGSM, howver, answered that "It has been long since Goguryeo and Shilla's relationship had deteriorated. Shilla used Sui's attack on us as an opportunity by taking our lands and fortresses. We will not stop having wars against Shilla until they give our lands and fortresses back."

On the same year, Kim Yushin took back 7 fortresses that Shilla lost to Baekje earlier. On March of 645, Baekje attacked Shilla for retaliation, but Kim Yushin's Shilla gained a victory by killing 2000. On May, Taizong attacked Goguryeo. QSD sent 30,000 to attack Goguryeo's south region in order to help Tang. Baekje saw this as opportunity and conquered Shilla's 7 fortresses while Shilla was helping Tang.

On 645, Hwang Ryong Temple was built after Monk Jajang's suggestion. It took a lot of money to build this temple since it was the biggest temple in Korean history. Many peasants complained and criticized this. Bidam and Yeomjong used the complaints of the people as a chance and took over Myung Hwal Fortress to start a rebellion on January of 647. Bidam argued that the queen ruined Shilla.

Bidam became the Prime Minister on 645 and was very popular with the people, so many people joined his cause. However, taking the capital city was not easy. Kim Yushin and Alcheon eventually captured Bidam and put an end to the rebellion. QSD was very ill when the rebellion started and she died during the rebellion on the 8th of January, 647.

According to legend, QSD saw frogs crying in the middle of winter at a pond called Okmunji. She said that Baekje army would be hiding at Yeogeun valley after seeing this and ordered Alcheon to go defeat them.

When QSD was alive, she knew when she was going to die and chose the place for her future tomb. This tomb is located on Bomun-dong of Kyoungju.
