16
00:01:55,066 --> 00:01:58,600

[Xue Juzheng]

18
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:01,833
His Majesty has left us.

19
00:03:02,833 --> 00:03:04,833
Did he leave any instructions?

20
00:03:04,833 --> 00:03:06,266
Prince, Ministers.

21
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,500
In his final moments,

22
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:09,966
the Emperor ordered us

23
00:03:10,866 --> 00:03:12,800
to summon the Prince of Jin to the palace.

24
00:03:21,133 --> 00:03:22,566
Who else among you heard this?

25
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:25,266
His Majesty indeed gave that order.

26
00:03:25,266 --> 00:03:27,466
The Inner Duty Guard and the Tianwu Army all heard it.

27
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,133
Elder Brother was still hosting a feast
and drinking last night.

28
00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:33,333
He could eat and drink, laugh and scold.

How could he, in just a few hours...

30
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:36,630
Prince, mind your words.

31
00:03:37,233 --> 00:03:39,966
When His Majesty was young, he served as a vanguard in battle,

Wounds were unavoidable.

In recent years, his diet and drinking lacked all moderation.

35
00:03:48,633 --> 00:03:51,166
His energy was depleted, his mind unsettled,

36
00:03:51,166 --> 00:03:52,633
and suffered from dizzy spells.

The Imperial Academy's medical bureau

Though he has now passed away,

39
00:04:00,433 --> 00:04:01,500
it was not a sudden death.

40
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,833
His Majesty has left us.

41
00:04:04,433 --> 00:04:06,866
The imperial throne cannot be vacant for a single day.

42
00:04:06,866 --> 00:04:09,000
We, your subjects, would risk myriad deaths
to beseech you,

Prince, to uphold the will of the late Emperor,
ascend the throne, and bring peace to the realm.

00:04:29,033 --> 00:04:31,900
So it's my turn to shoulder this burden?

50
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:34,933
All lands under heaven, and the millions of common people,

51
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:38,366
are not merely for the glory of the Zhao family name.

52

We beseech you, Prince,
to prioritize the common people of the world.

53
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:44,860
Assume the rightful position before His Majesty's spirit,
and ascend to the throne.

passed away in the Wansui Hall.

58

His posthumous title was Emperor Yingwu Shengwen Shende.

59
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,833
His temple name was Taizu.

60
00:05:12,033 --> 00:05:13,700
He was fifty years of age.

61
00:05:14,666 --> 00:05:19,300
The Prince of Jin, Zhao Kuangyi, ascended the throne
in front of the coffin in accordance with the will.

62

On January the eighteenth of the following year,

63
00:05:21,633 --> 00:05:22,333
an edict was issued:

64
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:26,033
the period name was changed to Taiping Xingguo.

65

From this day forth,

00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:10,000
the court assembly is suspended
for eleven days to mourn for Emperor Taizu.

72

You were helping out for other's litigation affairs?

82
00:07:08,133 --> 00:07:09,266
A land dispute again?

83
00:07:09,866 --> 00:07:12,433
Last August a wind disaster ruined the crops completely.

84
00:07:13,033 --> 00:07:13,866
There was no harvest.

85
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,866
Yet the autumn tax could not be exempted.

86
00:07:15,866 --> 00:07:20,166
The Gu family, the tax contractor, claimed they also
suffered losses and refused to issue loans.

87
00:07:20,166 --> 00:07:22,466
Of the eighty-six households
in Yongye Village,

88
00:07:22,466 --> 00:07:26,333
fifty-one were forced to sign promissory notes,
mortgaging their fields to Gu.

89
00:07:26,333 --> 00:07:30,500
With the interest compounding repeatedly,
after paying the autumn tax this year,

90
00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:33,600
even using up the entire year's harvest,
they still could not repay.

91
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,000
The Gu family then wanted to
transfer the notes to settle the debt.

92
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,100
Land annexation.

93
00:07:38,866 --> 00:07:40,300

96
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,733
Yongye Village cannot win this lawsuit.

97
00:07:52,133 --> 00:07:53,033
The Gu family lost.

98
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:56,733
Ninghai County announced in court
the notes cannot be transferred.

99
00:07:57,300 --> 00:07:58,000
What?

100
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:01,000
Those notes bear the Yellow Dragon seal.

101
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,300
They are part of the Consort, Lady Sun's dowry.

102
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:05,500

How can drinking medicine cure that?

112
00:08:57,866 --> 00:09:00,933
They said this prescription is different.

On every household's contract,

141
00:10:58,466 --> 00:11:00,233
there was the Yellow Dragon seal.

142
00:11:02,866 --> 00:11:06,266
Was it several thousand mu,

143
00:11:06,366 --> 00:11:08,900
or tens of thousands of mu?

144
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:10,466
I can't remember clearly.

I don't need any of it.

It belongs to the common people.

they must not be used for repayment.

Ok.

184
00:13:46,266 --> 00:13:47,200
I will stay with you.

185
00:13:48,833 --> 00:13:49,733
I will stay with you.

186
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:51,966
Don't bury me in the earth.

187
00:13:53,933 --> 00:13:57,866
Don't put me in that wooden coffin.

188
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:01,333
It's too dark.

189
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:03,400
I'm scared.

190
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:09,166
I...

191
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:14,866
I want to be like my mother,

192
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,633
buried in the sea.

193
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:20,633
There,

194
00:14:22,533 --> 00:14:23,600
there is water,

195
00:14:26,333 --> 00:14:27,233
there are fish,

196
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:29,400
there is wind,

197
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:31,933
there are birds.

198
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:36,000
It's very airy there.

199
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:39,033
You know,

200
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,333
seawater is salty.

201
00:14:45,266 --> 00:14:46,766
Fish are salty too.

202
00:15:03,533 --> 00:15:04,933
This well has a name.

203
00:15:05,433 --> 00:15:06,600
It's called the King Qian Well.

204
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,000
That well,

205
00:15:17,233 --> 00:15:18,066
that well,

206
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,200
shall be called the King Qian Well.

207
00:15:24,533 --> 00:15:25,366
OK?

208
00:15:29,066 --> 00:15:29,500
How's that?

209
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:30,033
Good.

210
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:32,333
It's nice.

211
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:41,100
So nice of you.

212
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:44,700
So nice of you.

258

Do you wish to accomplish tasks,

259
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,533
or to be an official?

260
00:19:19,633 --> 00:19:21,733
Being an official is how one accomplishes tasks.

261
00:19:25,733 --> 00:19:27,966
Your name is Fan Yong?

262
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:29,900
Yes.

263
00:19:33,633 --> 00:19:37,133
Judicial Officer of Zhongwu Circuit,
Fan Mengling‘s grandson,

264
00:19:38,333 --> 00:19:40,800
Director of the Secretariat, Fan Zanshi‘s son.

265
00:19:44,433 --> 00:19:44,900
Yes.

266
00:19:50,333 --> 00:19:52,033
Do you wish to be a good man,

267
00:19:54,033 --> 00:19:55,433
or a good official?

268
00:19:56,466 --> 00:19:57,733
If one cannot be a decent man,

269
00:19:57,733 --> 00:19:59,600
how can one be an official?

270
00:20:03,133 --> 00:20:04,466
Young man,

271
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:08,933
a person who only thinks about being good

272
00:20:09,633 --> 00:20:12,333
cannot become a good official.

273
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:22,633
This old man has a task here.

274
00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:25,333
If you can do it,

275
00:20:26,433 --> 00:20:30,466
I will appoint you as Registrar of the Land Office.

276
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:33,033
If you cannot,

277
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,766
then go elsewhere to seek an official post.

278
00:20:39,666 --> 00:20:41,730
Please instruct, Grand Tutor.

279
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,300
Survey the land,

280
00:20:46,066 --> 00:20:48,266
compile the yellow registers.

281
00:20:51,933 --> 00:20:52,666
Young man,

282
00:20:54,133 --> 00:20:56,800
can you do it?

283
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:03,466
Yes.

284
00:21:11,500 --> 00:21:14,366
Taizhou, Mingzhou, Wenzhou,

285
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,100
Suzhou, Xiuzhou, Huzhou.

286
00:21:18,633 --> 00:21:23,100
The land survey of the six prefectures is complete.
The compilation of the household registers is finished.

287
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:25,966
Total concealed land reclaimed:
one hundred sixty-eight thousand mu.

288
00:21:27,066 --> 00:21:30,400
Concealed households:
eleven thousand eight hundred seventy-six.

289
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:35,100
Powerful families punished for unlawful acts:
one thousand three hundred twelve persons.

290
00:21:36,266 --> 00:21:40,533
Of these, two hundred six were executed
and four hundred fifty-eight were exiled.

291
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:43,000
The rest all received caning.

292
00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:46,233
For five generations, they are barred from office.

293
00:21:53,866 --> 00:21:55,800
The Grand Tutor sent a dispatch from Ninghai,

294
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,833
commending the meritorious officials and clerks.

295
00:21:59,433 --> 00:22:03,566
Registrar of the Zhedong Land Office
Fan Yong is ranked first.

296
00:22:04,433 --> 00:22:08,800
He is specially recommended for the post
of Secretariat Director of the Zhenhai Military Governor.

297
00:22:12,033 --> 00:22:12,700
Approved.

298
00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:16,733
All of you,

299
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:21,000
leave.

300
00:22:22,733 --> 00:22:23,966
I have words

301
00:22:25,333 --> 00:22:27,600
to speak with the Great King.

302
00:22:51,633 --> 00:22:52,366
Great King.

303
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:57,933
Chu.

304
00:22:58,866 --> 00:22:59,866
Eldest Brother.

305
00:23:01,033 --> 00:23:02,233
I'm here.

306
00:23:03,866 --> 00:23:04,566
I,

307
00:23:06,666 --> 00:23:08,000
am about to die.

308
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:10,766
There are some things

309
00:23:11,466 --> 00:23:14,666
that, if not made clear to you,

310
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,866
I would be ashamed to face the late Kings in the afterlife.

311
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:23,900
What Elder Brother wishes to say,

312
00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:26,933
I know.

313
00:23:28,433 --> 00:23:30,933
Before Lord Hu passed away,

314
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:34,500
he once forced me to swear a dire oath.

315
00:23:36,433 --> 00:23:37,800
That generation

316
00:23:39,266 --> 00:23:41,700
have all passed on.

317
00:23:42,466 --> 00:23:44,666
Do you understand, Chu?

318
00:23:47,433 --> 00:23:49,100
Those who govern in times of peace

319
00:23:49,733 --> 00:23:52,433
must live by the ways of peace.

320
00:23:53,633 --> 00:23:55,966
Do not care what others say,

321
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,533
and pay even less heed

322
00:23:58,666 --> 00:24:01,566
to the old and young within our clan.

323
00:24:02,633 --> 00:24:03,666
This realm

324
00:24:04,733 --> 00:24:09,066
has no dynasty that lasts a thousand years.

325
00:24:10,466 --> 00:24:13,033
What can truly last a thousand years

326
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:16,900
is generation after generation of people

327
00:24:17,666 --> 00:24:20,366
unwilling to merely sit and enjoy the fruits of others‘ labor,

328
00:24:21,866 --> 00:24:23,300
people willing to struggle,

329
00:24:23,766 --> 00:24:25,700
to exhaust all their strength,

330
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,866
striving to live good lives.

331
00:24:38,733 --> 00:24:40,433
Eldest Brother,

332
00:24:43,566 --> 00:24:45,266
thank you.

333
00:24:48,033 --> 00:24:50,566
To be born in the chaos,

334
00:24:52,633 --> 00:24:55,733
and end in peace,

335
00:24:57,666 --> 00:25:01,966
is our great fortune.

336
00:25:06,733 --> 00:25:09,166
Earlier this year, the Prince of Wu passed away.

337
00:25:10,333 --> 00:25:12,566
His Majesty, thinking of old friends from those years,

338
00:25:13,066 --> 00:25:14,300
who are all advanced in age,

339
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,733
fears he may never see them again in this lifetime.

340
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:20,700
[Lü Duan]
Therefore, he intends to summon you

341
00:25:20,833 --> 00:25:22,066
to the capital for an audience,

342
00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:26,933
and taste the flavors from the Roast Pig Monastery
at the Great Xiangguo Temple.

343
00:25:35,033 --> 00:25:37,166
The southeast land has many ambitious men

344
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:42,000
who have secretly memorialized the court,
accusing you of unlawful acts,

345
00:25:42,733 --> 00:25:45,666
and expressing a desire to
welcome the Imperial Army into Wuyue.

346
00:25:45,666 --> 00:25:48,133
His Majesty personally addressed the ministers in court,

347
00:25:48,733 --> 00:25:52,300
saying: "King Qian's loyalty and righteousness
are known throughout the land.

348
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:56,466
These men harbor treacherous intentions and seek to
undermine the pillars of the state.

349
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,733
Even if gods could tolerate them, I, the Emperor, cannot."

350
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,300
He ordered all the memorials sealed together

351
00:26:06,033 --> 00:26:07,366
and sent me to bring them,

352
00:26:07,633 --> 00:26:09,433
to be handed over to you for disposal.

353
00:26:11,633 --> 00:26:13,066
You have had a long journey, Duan.

354
00:26:14,533 --> 00:26:16,366
Please return to the guesthouse and rest.

355
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:19,233
Regarding the audience,

356
00:26:20,133 --> 00:26:23,466
allow me to discuss it with my ministers.

357
00:26:24,766 --> 00:26:25,633
Since that is the case,

358
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:28,633
I will take my leave.

359
00:26:43,233 --> 00:26:44,533
There is one more matter

360
00:26:44,700 --> 00:26:47,333
I nearly forgot to report to you.

361
00:26:48,066 --> 00:26:50,600
The Military Governor of the Qingyuan Army in Quanzhou,

362
00:26:50,833 --> 00:26:51,733
Chen Hongjin,

363
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:55,633
has already submitted his territory,
requesting to submit to the court.

364
00:26:56,333 --> 00:27:00,766
Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, with their fourteen counties
under jurisdiction, and twenty thousand elite troops,

365
00:27:00,766 --> 00:27:02,966
have already returned to the imperial fold.

366
00:27:05,566 --> 00:27:06,666
What is this?

367
00:27:07,066 --> 00:27:09,066
Is this a territorial surrender?

368
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,266
What does this mean?

369
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:46,700
I

370
00:27:48,066 --> 00:27:50,466
have governed Wuyue for over thirty years.

371
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:58,666
I never expected that
the ambitious men of the southeast land

372
00:27:58,666 --> 00:28:00,533
would hate me to this extent.

373
00:28:03,466 --> 00:28:05,033
Gentlemen in the hall,

374
00:28:07,233 --> 00:28:09,833
are there any among you who have privately

375
00:28:09,833 --> 00:28:12,033
written memorials to the capital?

376
00:28:18,533 --> 00:28:19,166
Never mind.

377
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:23,533
After all, this title of Great King

378
00:28:25,133 --> 00:28:27,266
was not assumed for your sake.

379
00:28:33,700 --> 00:28:34,566
Great King.

380
00:28:36,466 --> 00:28:38,566
The Song Emperor is heroic and martial.

381
00:28:40,733 --> 00:28:43,766
Of all lands of the realm,
most are already under his complete control.

382
00:28:45,333 --> 00:28:47,000
The common people submit to him,

383
00:28:47,866 --> 00:28:49,366
scholars and citizens follow him.

384
00:28:50,766 --> 00:28:53,400
The general trend of the world is clear without asking.

385
00:28:55,033 --> 00:28:56,166
Speaking of the present,

386
00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:00,300
complying with the times and following the trend,

387
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:02,566
following ancestral instructions,

388
00:29:02,566 --> 00:29:05,733
and offering the thirteen prefectures'
territory in submission

389
00:29:05,733 --> 00:29:08,800
is the only way to preserve the Qian clan

390
00:29:09,866 --> 00:29:12,766
and the multitude of the southeast.

391
00:29:25,533 --> 00:29:27,533
As for those of you who remain standing,

392
00:29:29,266 --> 00:29:30,800
what are your thoughts?

393
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,033
We are willing to die for the Great King,

394
00:29:34,433 --> 00:29:36,966
willing to die for the Kingdom of Wuyue.

395
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,033
Great King.

396
00:30:26,833 --> 00:30:28,100
Peace and unity

397
00:30:28,433 --> 00:30:30,366
is the universal wish of all under heaven.

398
00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:32,833
Circumstances may delay it,

399
00:30:33,033 --> 00:30:35,100
but our original resolve must not change.

400
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:38,733
I, Kuangyin, received this burden from Rong,

401
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:40,633
bearing the weight of the world.

402
00:30:41,500 --> 00:30:43,033
Although my bond with you is deep,

403
00:30:43,766 --> 00:30:46,800
I dare not let personal friendship undermine state affairs.

404
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,866
If you cling to power, territory, and honor,

405
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:54,200
and persist in the reality of separatist rule,

406
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:55,733
[Qian family's memorial tablets]
then I

407
00:30:56,233 --> 00:30:58,800
[Qian family's memorial tablets]
shall consider that my old friend Chu has died,

408
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,433
and the one who remains is merely a rebellious vassal,

409
00:31:02,433 --> 00:31:04,933
no different from the Mengs or the Lis.

410
00:31:05,766 --> 00:31:11,833
I will dispatch a great army to fulfill
our wish for peace.

411
00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:14,833
To be born in chaos and separation,

412
00:31:17,133 --> 00:31:18,800
and end in peace and unity

413
00:31:21,133 --> 00:31:23,133
is our good fortune.

414
00:31:25,466 --> 00:31:27,500
To be born in chaos and separation,

415
00:31:29,533 --> 00:31:31,433
and end in peace and unity

416
00:31:34,833 --> 00:31:36,466
is our good fortune.

417
00:31:38,333 --> 00:31:38,966
Whatever.

418
00:31:40,233 --> 00:31:40,866
Whatever!

419
00:31:44,566 --> 00:31:47,833
No matter what the ancestors and my brothers think,

420
00:31:47,833 --> 00:31:50,266
I, Chu, your junior has made up my mind.

421
00:31:52,233 --> 00:31:53,300
Even if it is wrong,

422
00:31:54,066 --> 00:31:57,466
then at worst, I will continue
kneeling in the Fengxian Hall in my afterlife,

423
00:31:57,466 --> 00:31:58,733
and apologize to all of you again.

424
00:32:47,766 --> 00:32:48,466
Grandfather,

425
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:50,400
Father,

426
00:32:52,233 --> 00:32:53,800
two elder brothers,

427
00:32:56,566 --> 00:32:58,233
now the lands around are unified,

428
00:32:59,233 --> 00:33:03,033
in all regions of the realm,
only this corner of the southeast left.

429
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,930
The Emperor is benevolent and virtuous,

430
00:33:07,633 --> 00:33:11,033
allowing me, Chu, to offer the land
and the people in submission,

431
00:33:12,100 --> 00:33:13,400
to return to the imperial fold,

432
00:33:14,566 --> 00:33:18,333
so as not to destroy the peace and safety
of the people of the thirteen prefectures,

433
00:33:19,333 --> 00:33:19,966
and not sever

434
00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:22,733
the ancestral sacrifices of the Qian clan.

435
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,233
Your descendant Qian Chu respectfully
remembers the eight ancestral teachings.

436
00:33:32,233 --> 00:33:35,866
If the benefit is for oneself alone, do not seek it.

437
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:40,933
If the benefit is for all under heaven, then you must seek it.

438
00:33:41,333 --> 00:33:44,466
If the benefit is for a time, you may seek it.

439
00:33:44,666 --> 00:33:48,466
If the benefit is for ten thousand generations,
then you must seek it even more.

440
00:33:48,466 --> 00:33:52,633
Great wisdom that prospers a state is nothing more
than gathering the thoughts of the multitude.

441
00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:57,133
Great folly that ruins a state
stems only from self-importance.

442
00:33:57,333 --> 00:34:03,000
Gauge virtue and strength, understand the times.
When you meet a worthy ruler, swiftly submit.

443
00:34:03,433 --> 00:34:08,133
Follow the will of Heaven, avoid warfare,
and love the common people.

444
00:34:08,666 --> 00:34:11,733
If the benefit is for oneself alone, do not seek it.

445
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:15,800
If the benefit is for all under heaven, then you must seek it.

446
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:18,933
If the benefit is for a time, you may seek it.

447
00:34:19,466 --> 00:34:23,000
If the benefit is for ten thousand generations,
then you must seek it even more.

448
00:34:23,166 --> 00:34:27,000
Great wisdom that prospers a state is nothing more
than gathering the thoughts of the multitude.

449
00:34:27,266 --> 00:34:31,233
Great folly that ruins a state
stems only from self-importance.

450
00:34:31,433 --> 00:34:37,100
Gauge virtue and strength, understand the times.
When you meet a worthy ruler, swiftly submit.

451
00:34:37,333 --> 00:34:41,966
Follow the will of Heaven, avoid warfare,
and love the common people.

452
00:34:42,466 --> 00:34:45,366
If the benefit is for oneself alone, do not seek it.

453
00:34:45,933 --> 00:34:49,333
If the benefit is for all under heaven, then you must seek it.

454
00:34:49,900 --> 00:34:52,966
If the benefit is for a time, you may seek it.

455
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:56,733
If the benefit is for ten thousand generations,
then you must seek it even more.

456
00:35:21,066 --> 00:35:23,500
Great King, Great King.

457
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:33,300
Great King, Great King.

458
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:35,133
Everyone.

459
00:35:37,466 --> 00:35:39,266
Esteemed elders,

460
00:35:41,566 --> 00:35:43,700
the Qian family

461
00:35:45,266 --> 00:35:48,500
for three generations of honor and wealth

462
00:35:50,466 --> 00:35:52,966
has been entirely bestowed by you.

463
00:35:55,333 --> 00:35:56,600
I, Qian Chu,

464
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:01,600
hereby thank you all.

465
00:36:10,900 --> 00:36:12,366
For seventy years,

466
00:36:12,866 --> 00:36:15,200
the Central Plains saw the succession of five dynasties,

467
00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:19,633
and the land was divided into ten states.

468
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,733
The elders all over the realm

469
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,233
could not bear the suffering;

470
00:36:23,633 --> 00:36:25,033
the people around the world,

471
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:26,533
could not endure the chaos.

472
00:36:27,133 --> 00:36:28,866
Our ancestor, King Wusu,

473
00:36:29,266 --> 00:36:31,133
raised his sword in Wuyue

474
00:36:31,700 --> 00:36:34,400
not for the honor of the Qian name alone,

475
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,900
but to spare the soldiers and civilians
of the thirteen prefectures from the ravages of war,

476
00:36:40,533 --> 00:36:44,633
to make the southeastern lands
a haven of order in a chaotic era.

477
00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:46,600
Now,

478
00:36:47,266 --> 00:36:48,866
the great chaos has ended,

479
00:36:49,066 --> 00:36:50,466
the land is settled,

480
00:36:50,833 --> 00:36:53,133
the opportunity for a peaceful reign has emerged.

481
00:36:54,466 --> 00:36:56,266
Our Qian family for three generations

482
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,933
are not only rulers of Wuyue,

483
00:36:59,333 --> 00:37:02,033
but also subjects of the Central Empire of China.

484
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,233
You elders of the southeast region

485
00:37:04,866 --> 00:37:06,600
are not only people of Wuyue,

486
00:37:06,733 --> 00:37:09,966
but also people of the Central Empire.

487
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:13,833
For seventy years,

488
00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:16,233
our Qian family,

489
00:37:17,033 --> 00:37:19,366
our Wuyue court and populace,

490
00:37:19,900 --> 00:37:23,166
our soldiers, thirteen prefectures,
and common people of the southeast region,

491
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,633
have never harbored, not even a fraction,

492
00:37:25,833 --> 00:37:29,133
a heart that stands apart from the Central Kingdom.

493
00:37:29,900 --> 00:37:32,433
Generation after generation
of displaced and migrating people

494
00:37:32,466 --> 00:37:34,600
displaced and migrating people

495
00:37:34,633 --> 00:37:36,166
settled here,

496
00:37:36,466 --> 00:37:37,866
reclaimed wasteland and expanded territory,

497
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:39,633
multiplied and prospered,

498
00:37:39,833 --> 00:37:43,200
thus creating today's prosperous southeast.

499
00:37:44,233 --> 00:37:48,166
This is all due to the virtue of our ancestors

500
00:37:48,833 --> 00:37:50,466
and the righteousness of our forebears.

501
00:37:50,933 --> 00:37:54,433
How dare the Qian family betray this?

502
00:37:56,333 --> 00:37:58,500
How could I, Qian Chu,

503
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:00,900
for the sake of one family's power and wealth,

504
00:38:01,133 --> 00:38:04,133
subject the southeastern lands to the scourge of war,

505
00:38:04,433 --> 00:38:06,433
destroying this fertile homeland

506
00:38:06,433 --> 00:38:11,033
that generations of ancestors watered
with their blood and sweat for over a thousand years?

507
00:38:12,866 --> 00:38:14,400
Esteemed elders,

508
00:38:14,900 --> 00:38:15,733
the world

509
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,500
is about to be at peace.

510
00:38:21,166 --> 00:38:22,900
An age of prosperity is coming.

511
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:23,933
I, Qian Chu,

512
00:38:25,266 --> 00:38:27,200
am about to return to the empire.

513
00:38:28,166 --> 00:38:30,366
May we, for all our lives and generations,

514
00:38:30,833 --> 00:38:36,500
share with you all the years of peace and tranquility.

515
00:38:37,633 --> 00:38:39,366
In the year 978 AD,

516
00:38:39,866 --> 00:38:42,200
the fifth month of the third year of the Taiping Xingguo era,

517
00:38:42,466 --> 00:38:44,900
Qian Chu, the King of Wuyue, submitted his entire territory,

518
00:38:45,033 --> 00:38:46,533
surrendering his land to the Song.

519
00:38:48,033 --> 00:38:48,733
From then on,

520
00:38:49,266 --> 00:38:51,833
the one army and thirteen prefectures, eighty-six counties,

521
00:38:51,866 --> 00:38:54,533
five hundred fifty thousand and seven hundred households,

522
00:38:54,533 --> 00:38:56,433
and one hundred fifteen thousand soldiers

523
00:38:56,433 --> 00:39:00,500
were once again brought under
the rule of the Central Plains dynasty.

524
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:06,000
The realm was unified, the world was made whole.

525
00:39:06,733 --> 00:39:10,566
The Emperor decreed: You have,
through generations, upheld loyalty and integrity,

526
00:39:10,566 --> 00:39:12,933
your will adhering to the laws and institutions.

527
00:39:12,933 --> 00:39:14,800
You inherited the legacy of a century,

528
00:39:15,233 --> 00:39:17,633
possessing a thousand li of rivers and mountains.

529
00:39:18,666 --> 00:39:20,066
Since I ascended the throne,

530
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:21,666
you have come to pay homage.

531
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:26,400
Witnessing the full splendor of culture and artifacts,
I commend the unification of script and cart standards.

532
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,966
Desiring to be close to the light of the sun and moon,
you abandoned the ambition of holding the land.

533
00:39:32,166 --> 00:39:35,833
Armor, weapons, towers, and watchtowers have
all been handed over to the authorities,

534
00:39:35,833 --> 00:39:39,466
and mountains, rivers, fields, and lands
have been fully offered to the imperial treasury.

535
00:39:40,466 --> 00:39:42,666
Your entire clan has demonstrated allegiance.

536
00:39:42,666 --> 00:39:44,866
This is unprecedented in previous dynasties.

537
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,033
It shall be recorded in the annals,

538
00:39:48,266 --> 00:39:51,900
eternally glorifying your loyalty and valor.

539
00:40:01,766 --> 00:40:07,466
♫ Raising the wine cup, I toast to the boundless sky ♫

540
00:40:08,133 --> 00:40:12,966
♫ In talks and laughters are vast mountains and rivers. ♫

541
00:40:14,533 --> 00:40:19,100
♫ Love and hate, debt and feuds, have all dissolved. ♫

542
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,966
♫ Where's my soul's hometown and my kindred spirits? ♫

543
00:40:27,433 --> 00:40:32,000
♫ Seasons rolling by, we dream for harvest. ♫

544
00:40:33,833 --> 00:40:35,066
♫ Warriors and warhorses howl across the sky. ♫

545
00:40:35,066 --> 00:40:38,300
♫ Warriors and warhorses howl across the sky. ♫
A message for my friend Chu:

546
00:40:38,300 --> 00:40:41,233
Years ago, during the great calamity in the capital,

547
00:40:41,233 --> 00:40:42,433
♫ If only I could turn into the wind, ♫
we, in our youth,

548
00:40:42,433 --> 00:40:44,533
♫ If only I could turn into the wind, ♫
witnessing the suffering and chaos of the people,

549
00:40:44,533 --> 00:40:47,200
♫ If only I could turn into the wind, ♫
made a pledge for peace.

550
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,733
♫ to blow away all the pain in mortal coil. ♫
made a pledge for peace.

551
00:40:48,733 --> 00:40:50,933
♫ to blow away all the pain in mortal coil. ♫
Since the Tang dynasty's decline,

552
00:40:50,933 --> 00:40:53,233
♫ to blow away all the pain in mortal coil. ♫
the land has seen the succession of five dynasties.

553
00:40:53,233 --> 00:40:56,233
♫ I toast to the blue sky, to courage in solitude, ♫
Yet since the Spring and Autumn period,

554
00:40:56,233 --> 00:40:57,866
♫ I toast to the blue sky, to courage in solitude, ♫
the Central Kingdom has maintained

555
00:40:57,866 --> 00:40:59,100
♫ to migrating gooses, to boats heading home. ♫
a lineage of a thousand years.

556
00:40:59,100 --> 00:41:00,666
♫ to migrating gooses, to boats heading home. ♫
These people, this land,

557
00:41:00,666 --> 00:41:02,400
♫ With even three thousand days and nights, ♫
our lineage, our nation,

558
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,500
♫ With even three thousand days and nights, ♫
its rites, laws, and attire,

559
00:41:03,533 --> 00:41:05,133
♫ With even three thousand days and nights, ♫
its poetry, books, and script,

560
00:41:05,133 --> 00:41:07,400
♫ With even three thousand days and nights, ♫
their legacy has never been severed.

561
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,933
♫ Will it be enough to drain this cup I toast to peace? ♫
This is the constant principle of heaven and earth,

562
00:41:11,066 --> 00:41:13,533
♫ Will it be enough to drain this cup I toast to peace? ♫
the universal truth of past and present.

563
00:41:13,533 --> 00:41:16,366
It was true a thousand years ago,

564
00:41:16,366 --> 00:41:22,066
♫ Raising the wine cup, I toast to the boundless sky ♫
and will remain true a thousand years hence.

565
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:24,833
♫ In talks and laughters are vast mountains and rivers. ♫
What led to the division of Wuyue as a separate state

566
00:41:24,833 --> 00:41:26,433
♫ In talks and laughters are vast mountains and rivers. ♫
was the circumstance of the times.

567
00:41:26,433 --> 00:41:28,600
♫ In talks and laughters are vast mountains and rivers. ♫
Those who prays for the unification

568
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,700
♫ Horses are crying, who is in your arms? ♫
are the people.

569
00:41:31,700 --> 00:41:33,333
♫ Horses are crying, who is in your arms? ♫
During my elder brother's life,

570
00:41:33,833 --> 00:41:36,933
♫ Horses are crying, who is in your arms? ♫
what he contemplated was the will of the people.

571
00:41:36,933 --> 00:41:39,200
♫ The very wish of all in the realm ♫
When you came for the audience,

572
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,400
♫ The very wish of all in the realm ♫
what you spoke of was also the will of the people.

573
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:43,566
♫ is peace. ♫
If Wuyue returns to the ancestral fold,

574
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:45,500
♫ is peace. ♫
north and south reunite as one,

575
00:41:46,100 --> 00:41:47,433
♫ is peace. ♫
weapons are laid down, warfare ceases,

576
00:41:47,566 --> 00:41:49,166
♫ I toast to the blue sky, to courage in solitude, ♫
and years of peace are enjoyed,

577
00:41:49,166 --> 00:41:50,866
♫ I toast to the blue sky, to courage in solitude, ♫
then even a thousand years later,

578
00:41:50,866 --> 00:41:52,266
♫ to migrating gooses, to boats heading home, ♫
this will remain the hope

579
00:41:52,266 --> 00:41:55,300
♫ to migrating gooses, to boats heading home, ♫
lodged in the hearts of the Chinese people.

580
00:41:55,300 --> 00:41:57,133
♫ to freedom, to the wind, ♫
If you proclaim a separate state,

581
00:41:57,133 --> 00:41:58,366
♫ to freedom, to the wind, ♫
north and south stand divided,

582
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,200
♫ to changing fate, to our calm, ♫
warfare rages back and forth,

583
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,000
♫ to changing fate, to our calm, ♫
and the people are plunged into misery,

584
00:42:02,066 --> 00:42:03,700
♫ to fading dreams, to numerous heroes, ♫
then a thousand years later,

585
00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:05,100
♫ to fading dreams, to numerous heroes, ♫
will there still be a Chinese civilization?

586
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:07,433
♫ to you and me, to our common aspiration, ♫
will there still be a Chinese civilization?

587
00:42:07,433 --> 00:42:08,533
♫ to you and me, to our common aspiration, ♫
To oppose the trend of the times,

588
00:42:08,533 --> 00:42:09,966
♫ With even three thousand days and nights, ♫
to defy the will of the people,

589
00:42:09,966 --> 00:42:12,066
♫ With even three thousand days and nights, ♫
to cut off the hope for peace,

590
00:42:12,566 --> 00:42:14,400
♫ With even three thousand days and nights, ♫
then you and I would both be

591
00:42:14,433 --> 00:42:15,533
♫ With even three thousand days and nights, ♫
sinners against

592
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:19,066
♫ what we seek is no more than ♫
the Chinese people for a thousand generations.

593
00:42:19,066 --> 00:42:21,833
♫ a cup of wine in the peaceful world. ♫
The world has been in turmoil for too long,

594
00:42:21,833 --> 00:42:25,100
♫ a cup of wine in the peaceful world. ♫
the people's longing for unity grows ever stronger.

595
00:42:26,566 --> 00:42:28,033
Reading this is like seeing me.

596
00:42:29,066 --> 00:42:30,933
I pray you return soon.

597
00:42:32,166 --> 00:42:33,166
Return soon.

598
00:42:34,833 --> 00:42:35,866
This is my earnest wish.

599
00:43:24,433 --> 00:43:27,400
♫ Across tens of thousands of miles
stretch towering mountains. ♫

600
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:30,866
♫ Across tens of thousands of miles
run surging rivers. ♫

601
00:43:31,433 --> 00:43:34,400
♫ Across tens of thousands of miles
cry warhorses. ♫

602
00:43:34,900 --> 00:43:39,000
♫ Across tens of thousands of miles
there are emotions unspoken. ♫

603
00:43:39,933 --> 00:43:42,900
♫ Across tens of thousands of miles,
flowers are blooming along the road. ♫

604
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,366
♫ Across tens of thousands of miles,
gooses are returning to the north. ♫

605
00:43:46,933 --> 00:43:49,900
♫ Across tens of thousands of miles,
we stand through storms. ♫

606
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,500
♫ Across tens of thousands of miles,
we hope for a safe return. ♫

607
00:43:58,700 --> 00:44:01,366
♫ Tens of thousands of miles is not enough, ♫

608
00:44:01,966 --> 00:44:04,866
♫ for a lifetime's sorrows and joys. ♫

609
00:44:05,500 --> 00:44:08,166
♫ Tens of thousands of miles is not enough, ♫

610
00:44:08,766 --> 00:44:11,666
♫ for the endless seas and rivers. ♫

611
00:44:12,466 --> 00:44:15,133
♫ Across tens of thousands of miles, ♫

612
00:44:15,733 --> 00:44:18,633
♫ love will overcome all barriers. ♫
