至則日本使臣井上馨避不肯見，而挾朝鮮左議政金宏集於議政院，索償兵費三十萬。 On arrival he found the Japanese minister Inoue Kaoru avoiding him and refusing an audience, while holding Korean Left State Councillor Kim Hong-jip at the State Council and demanding three hundred thousand taels in military expenses.

立率兵至議政院，排闥入，責數宏集：「柄國敗壞國事。 He immediately led troops to the State Council, forced the doors open, and rebuked Kim Hong-jip: "In wielding power you have ruined the country's affairs.

宏集唯唯，井上馨亦氣懾，減索兵費十一萬而去。 Kim Hong-jip could only assent; Inoue Kaoru was intimidated as well, cut his demand to one hundred ten thousand taels, and withdrew.
