EPISODE 32
An illegitimate love child of the Imperial Family, the 18-year-old emperor was enthroned in the midst of political chaos. Nonetheless, Wang Sun managed to overcome his fate and defeated Khitan, which had the most potent military force at the time, leading Goryeo forward to peace and prosperity. Goryeo’s neutral and pragmatic diplomacy played a pivotal role in maintaining peace in East Asia for the following 150 years. After laying the foundations for peace, Wang Sun died in May of 1031 at the age of 40. In June of the same year, Emperor Yelu Longxu of Khitan also died. In August of the same year, Kang Gam Chan died at the age of 84. (This was written on-screen rather than spoken by a narrator.)
