Former Northern Dictator Buyeo Beheaded by Jeonghwa Maripgan

5732.11.17. - GONGMANGDO -

His Imperial Majesty the Jeonghwa Emperor executed Buyeo Bomsori, the final dictator of North Baeguk, by beheading her publicly on the grounds of Beonyeonggung Palace today. The two stood in front of the Injeongjeon Hall of Beonyeonggung, the wide granite expanse seemlessly endless as clergymen and officials and ministers observed the rite. Wielding the Holy Sword of the Crown Jewels and Regalia, the Maripgan cleaved the widely reviled traitor's head from her body, then proclaimed it the will of Heaven.

Following the execution, the Maripgan's clothing was burned as Buyeo's corpse was stripped, drawn and quartered, and then incinerated and ground into powder. Later in the day, equal portions of the ashes were shot at 4 PM from cannons in the East, West, South, North, and Center directions of the Kingdom.

The execution has spurred much discussion in Baeguk. Buyeo, who was responsible for the cruel and bloody invasion of the Gihae year, was widely condemned and reviled by the people. Her execution was unprecedently handled personally by the Ministry of Official Affairs rather than the Office of the Interior or the Office of Justice, who typically handle the prosecution and defense respectively. However, in general the widespread hatred of Buyeo by most subjects of the south has called for her blood, which is now paid in full.
