Episode 76
3
00:00:04,150 --> 00:00:07,250
Your servant Sima Yi pays his respects to Your Majesty.
4
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:09,220
Please rise.
5
00:00:10,220 --> 00:00:11,790
Thank you, Sire.
6
00:00:14,860 --> 00:00:18,790
It is quite late. What brings you here?
7
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:23,300
Sir Hua Xin has, according to Your Majesty's wishes,
8
00:00:23,730 --> 00:00:27,200
erected an altar outside the city for the abdication ceremony.
9
00:00:27,340 --> 00:00:28,900
I gave no such orders.
10
00:00:31,510 --> 00:00:33,710
Then Your Majesty must have forgotten.
11
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:36,480
Sir Hua Xin wouldn't make such a mistake.
12
00:00:36,610 --> 00:00:38,250
Am I right. Your Majesty?
13
00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:46,250
Continue.
14
00:00:46,590 --> 00:00:48,320
After the altar is built...
15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,590
please select an auspicious date
and summon all the officials to be present at the altar.
16
00:00:55,130 --> 00:00:58,160
Your Majesty shall personally hand over the imperial seal
17
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:01,270
and abdicate the throne to the Prince of Wei.
18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,110
Just another Bronze Bird Pavilion gathering.
19
00:01:07,340 --> 00:01:08,640
Your Majesty is wise.
20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,540
No edict is needed this time, right?
21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,880
An abdication ceremony, where prayers are offered to Heaven,
cannot be without an edict, can it?
22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:18,820
You!
23
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:23,120
Don't be alarmed. Your Majesty.
24
00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:27,790
With your kind permission...
25
00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:33,630
I shall perform one final service for the Han Dynasty.
26
00:01:34,930 --> 00:01:37,740
I may not have this honor again in the future.
27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,440
What do you wish to do for me?
28
00:01:54,350 --> 00:01:57,120
I am willing to draft the edict for Your Majesty.
29
00:01:57,820 --> 00:01:58,720
Right!
30
00:01:59,860 --> 00:02:02,130
You're Cao Pis most trusted officer.
31
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:04,760
No one but you can perform this task.
32
00:02:05,460 --> 00:02:06,930
As you desire.
33
00:02:08,730 --> 00:02:12,800
Sima Yi, allow me to grind the ink for you.
34
00:02:13,570 --> 00:02:17,240
I hope your brush flows like a sword,
drawing blood with every stroke.
35
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,380
Your Majesty.
36
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,880
Please sit.
37
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,550
Let me do this on your behalf.
38
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,070
Thank you. Your Majesty.
39
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:05,620
Let it be known, Prince of Wei.
40
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,390
In the times of yore, Yao abdicated his throne to Shun,
41
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,390
Yao Shun, and Yu the Great were three of the Sage Kings in
42
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:11,690
and Shun abdicated in favor of Yu.
43
00:03:11,790 --> 00:03:14,900
The Mandate of Heaven is not immutable,
but must go to the virtuous.
44
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:18,430
The rule of the Han disintegrated, and chaos covered the land.
45
00:03:18,530 --> 00:03:22,040
Evil men indulged in treachery, and the world fell into disorder.
46
00:03:22,170 --> 00:03:24,870
Thankfully, the late Prince of Wei displayed his might,
47
00:03:25,010 --> 00:03:29,410
restoring order in the court, rescuing the realm,
and securing the ancestral temples.
48
00:03:29,550 --> 00:03:33,510
The current Prince continues his father's work
and shines with the same virtue.
49
00:03:33,650 --> 00:03:38,920
He carries out the work of Kings Wen and Wu,
and illustrates his ancestor's greatness.
50
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:42,790
The royal ancestors sent favorable auguries.
and both men and spirits confirm
51
00:03:42,820 --> 00:03:46,190
that he alone is resplendent,.and must accept his mandate.
52
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:50,030
All have said that you are comparable to Yu and Shun.
53
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:53,570
We thus invoke the rites of Tang,
and humbly pass Our position to you.
54
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:54,470
Heed!
55
00:03:54,570 --> 00:03:56,770
The fortunes of Heaven fall upon you.
56
00:03:56,970 --> 00:04:02,480
May you accept them and take the Great Office,
and appease the people by obeying the Will of Heaven.
57
00:04:45,550 --> 00:04:48,220
We pay our respects to Your Majesty!
58
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,500
I here and now recognize and heed the Will of Heaven,
59
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,630
and succeed the rule of this empire.
60
00:05:03,070 --> 00:05:04,670
From this day on,
61
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,670
the empire shall be known as the Great Wei,
62
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,180
and the reign title shall be renamed to Huangchu.
63
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,250
The capital city of the empire shall be Luoyang.
64
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:23,620
My late father shall be posthumously known
as the Martial Emperor, Great Progenitor of the Dynasty.
65
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:31,200
The abdicated Han emperor, Liu Xie,
66
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:31,200
shall be made Duke of Shanyang.
67
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:35,370
Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!
68
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,340
Long live Your Majesty!
69
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:42,910
Long live Your Majesty!
70
00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:53,680
Your Majesty, hide in the boat.
71
00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:56,490
The world now belongs to your brother.
72
00:05:56,590 --> 00:05:59,190
If he wants to kill me, where could I hide?
73
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:21,040
My respects to you, Duke of Shanyang.
74
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:24,150
Sima Yi, why have you come here?
75
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,450
The Emperor of the Great Wei,
considering his kinship with his sister.
76
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,520
ordered me to come here and see you and your wife off.
77
00:07:04,490 --> 00:07:07,420
The Emperor of the Great Wei is a virtuous ruler indeed.
78
00:07:09,090 --> 00:07:11,190
He ordered me to give this message.
79
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:17,500
As long as the Duke of Shanyang never returns to the capital.
80
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,070
he will ensure you wealth and honor for the rest of your life.
81
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,440
Do you, Sima Yi, believe such a promise as he has made?
82
00:07:30,910 --> 00:07:33,880
Sir Sima, his lordship cannot hold his liquor well.
83
00:07:33,980 --> 00:07:36,380
Please don't take what he says seriously.
84
00:07:37,150 --> 00:07:38,480
I don't blame him.
85
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,790
But I trust in the benevolence of the Emperor of the Great Wei.
86
00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:49,430
Cheers, Your Highness.
87
00:07:50,330 --> 00:07:53,230
One generation sows, the next shall reap.
88
00:07:54,370 --> 00:07:56,470
But laugh not too soon or praises heap.
89
00:07:57,300 --> 00:08:00,040
Beware the reapers who behind you creep.
90
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:33,000
Father, it's late.
The winds are strong along the coast Let's return home.
91
00:08:33,140 --> 00:08:34,770
Lets watch a bit more.
92
00:08:37,380 --> 00:08:39,910
Watching a while longer wouldn't hurt.
93
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:43,950
He was the emperor for a few decades, after all.
94
00:08:44,420 --> 00:08:47,850
To see the emperor of a fallen empire leave before your very eyes
95
00:08:48,050 --> 00:08:51,420
is a rare sight that not many people get to see.
96
00:09:07,810 --> 00:09:08,840
My empress.
97
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:16,010
What an emperor I had been!
98
00:09:17,820 --> 00:09:22,220
When I became emperor.
it was because someone forced me to become one.
99
00:09:23,850 --> 00:09:28,220
When lam no longer the emperor,
it is because someone forced me to abdicate.
100
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:38,270
When I was just nine years old,
Dong Zhuo forced me to ascend the throne.
101
00:09:40,770 --> 00:09:43,140
and I became his obedient puppet.
102
00:09:46,510 --> 00:09:51,150
Ever since that time, I washed my face each day with my tears.
103
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,750
I was so ashamed to face my ancestors and the people.
104
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,460
There was not a single joyous day in my life.
105
00:10:03,790 --> 00:10:07,630
Come to think of it, I really should thank your brother.
106
00:10:09,870 --> 00:10:12,400
He set me free from this endless suffering.
107
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:19,210
Today is the happiest day I have ever experienced in my life!
108
00:10:21,940 --> 00:10:24,010
Cao Pi is not my brother.
109
00:10:25,010 --> 00:10:27,080
He is a wicked minister, a villain.
110
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,420
I detest the very fact that he even exists in this world.
111
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:36,090
You must not blame your brother now.
112
00:10:40,030 --> 00:10:44,400
In my life, I went through the tribulations of four powerful ministers.
113
00:10:45,970 --> 00:10:50,200
Every one of them was my master, masters of this puppet emperor.
114
00:10:53,310 --> 00:11:01,650
Dong Zhuo, Guo Si, Cao Cao, and Cao Pi.
115
00:11:04,690 --> 00:11:09,960
Looking back,
I think your brother treated me the best out of all of them.
116
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,360
At last, I can return to the lush mountains and serene rivers.
117
00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:18,330
Those places...
118
00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:24,470
I have read about in countless poems.
but I've never had the opportunity to visit them before.
119
00:11:27,810 --> 00:11:30,480
The boat is beginning to sink!
120
00:11:28,780 --> 00:11:31,040
Your Majesty, what's wrong with the boat?
121
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:30,740
Your Majesty, what's wrong with the boat?
122
00:11:30,740 --> 00:11:32,080
Quick, change boats!
123
00:11:32,210 --> 00:11:33,680
Sail back to shore!
124
00:11:33,780 --> 00:11:36,650
Faster, faster! The boat is sinking!
125
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:38,350
Quickly! Row! Row hard!
126
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,950
My lord, please get on another boat! This one is sinking!
127
00:11:42,090 --> 00:11:42,950
Get out!
128
00:11:43,690 --> 00:11:44,490
Faster!
129
00:11:45,090 --> 00:11:47,230
Row faster! Quickly, quickly!
130
00:11:47,230 --> 00:11:48,190
Yes, sir.
Row faster Quickly, quickly!
131
00:11:48,690 --> 00:11:49,930
Quick, row hard!
132
00:11:50,130 --> 00:11:51,960
Sima Yi wanted to murder you!
133
00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:56,930
No, not Sima Yi. This is Cao Pis doing.
134
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,270
Cao Pi wanted to get rid of you.
135
00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:04,480
Come, sit down.
136
00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:07,640
Ignore them.
137
00:12:09,510 --> 00:12:13,020
Come, pour me some wine. Come on.
138
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:14,850
Come
139
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,030
Did you know?
140
00:12:23,390 --> 00:12:26,760
The hole in the boat is not Sima Yi's doing.
141
00:12:27,770 --> 00:12:30,270
It was I who had someone drill it.
142
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,240
I have already with both hands given up the lands of my ancestors.
143
00:12:40,940 --> 00:12:43,880
I am not fit to be buried on the lands of Han!
144
00:12:45,020 --> 00:12:47,350
I am only fit to drown in the river,
145
00:12:48,090 --> 00:12:51,150
and drift into the seas and be eaten by fish.
146
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,060
My empress, please get off the boat.
147
00:12:59,330 --> 00:13:01,230
I shall stay and face this alone.
148
00:13:11,770 --> 00:13:14,340
One whole lifetime.
149
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,150
Finally, Your Majesty has shown your heroic mettle.
150
00:13:21,380 --> 00:13:25,450
I shall not be going anywhere.
151
00:13:26,490 --> 00:13:28,420
A will accompany you.
152
00:13:30,090 --> 00:13:32,530
I will be by your side forever.
153
00:13:38,770 --> 00:13:41,940
My empress, if there is such a thing as reincarnation.
154
00:13:44,510 --> 00:13:48,210
you must promise to never marry into the royal family.
155
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,710
And if Your Majesty is reborn.
156
00:13:54,580 --> 00:13:57,650
you must not be born into the royal family, either.
157
00:14:13,330 --> 00:14:14,700
Kongming.
158
00:14:18,270 --> 00:14:24,010
For all these days that I have been lying here in bed,
159
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:30,450
I have been reflecting on this painful experience,
and my mind is troubled by many thoughts.
160
00:14:32,490 --> 00:14:35,120
I remember what you mentioned ,before.
161
00:14:37,060 --> 00:14:41,390
You said that Yunchang was overly arrogant,
162
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,230
and he thought little of other heroic individuals in the lands.
163
00:14:47,130 --> 00:14:52,840
If he wasn't careful, he would bring disaster onto himself eventually.
164
00:14:55,810 --> 00:15:01,650
Your words accurately predicted the disastrous events at Jingzhou.
165
00:15:03,150 --> 00:15:08,320
Had Yunchang not underestimated the prowess of Eastern Wu...
166
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,960
and was on guard against them...
167
00:15:14,390 --> 00:15:18,030
would things have turned out like they have now?
168
00:15:19,530 --> 00:15:22,670
Would he have lost his own life like he did?
169
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:28,140
Would he have even lost Jingzhou?
170
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,510
My lord.
171
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,120
In Yunchang's eyes...
172
00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:43,820
All the valiant generals of Eastern Wu were mere cowards.
173
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,820
My brother Zhuge Jin was instructed by his lord. Sun Quan,
174
00:15:48,330 --> 00:15:50,660
to go to Yunchang with a marriage proposal.
175
00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:54,060
He offered to marry Yunchang's daughter
to Sun Quan's heir-apparent,
176
00:15:54,330 --> 00:15:57,700
so the houses of Liu and Sun might be reunited by marriage again.
177
00:15:58,070 --> 00:16:01,300
But, my lord, do you know how Yunchang replied to this?
178
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:03,310
He said.
179
00:16:04,070 --> 00:16:07,680
How can a tiger's daughter marry the whelp of a cur?
180
00:16:07,980 --> 00:16:09,150
Really...
181
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,720
Any noble man who hears these words
182
00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:16,850
would feel his heart pierced as if by a sharp knife.
183
00:16:19,860 --> 00:16:22,720
Yes, of course.
184
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:32,470
However, how could Liu Feng and Meng Da be so despicable?
185
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,140
Had they deployed Shangyong's forces to rescue him.
186
00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:39,940
Yunchang would not have met his end!
187
00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:44,480
To think that Liu Feng is my adopted son.
188
00:16:44,850 --> 00:16:46,980
How dare he leave Yunchang to die?
189
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,690
And Meng Da even defected to the enemy after the incident!
190
00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:55,490
Even if those two run to the edge of the world,
191
00:16:55,690 --> 00:16:58,290
I'll still take their heads and let the world see!
192
00:16:58,390 --> 00:16:59,830
Calm down, my lord.
193
00:16:59,930 --> 00:17:01,160
Please calm down.
194
00:17:04,430 --> 00:17:08,340
My lord, there is no point in hating them at this time.
195
00:17:10,540 --> 00:17:12,210
After Jingzhou was lost.
196
00:17:13,140 --> 00:17:18,350
great changes occurred to the balance of power
between Cao, Sun, and Liu.
197
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,920
Prior to this, you occupied the nine commarideries of jing
198
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:26,990
and the 41 counties of the Riverlands.
199
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:29,860
You even conquered the commanderies at Hanzhong.
200
00:17:31,530 --> 00:17:33,190
In other words,
201
00:17:33,330 --> 00:17:36,860
my lord had become the most powerful ruler over the land.
202
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,030
Within a few years.
we could have deployed forces from both north and south
203
00:17:42,340 --> 00:17:44,870
and annexed Xuchang in a single move.
204
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,570
After that, we could have annexed Qing and Ji provinces.
205
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:54,380
Cao Cao would have been destroyed,
and your ambition would have been fulfilled.
206
00:17:55,850 --> 00:17:56,820
Kongming.
207
00:18:00,220 --> 00:18:04,660
Was that not the third step
you mentioned to me in our discussion in Longzhong?
208
00:18:08,060 --> 00:18:10,830
Such a pity! What a pity, indeed!
209
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:23,810
Due to the events at Jingzhou...
210
00:18:25,340 --> 00:18:28,380
we lost our foundation for taking the Central Plains.
211
00:18:29,820 --> 00:18:34,120
Just when Cao Cao was about to bow in defeat.
he had the chance to live once more.
212
00:18:34,620 --> 00:18:38,120
If we hoped to destroy him again, it would be even more difficult.
213
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,520
On the other hand,
214
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:45,630
Sun Quan was able to expand his power beyond the Southland
and enter the Central Plains.
215
00:18:46,660 --> 00:18:48,770
Oh, Jing Province.
216
00:18:49,330 --> 00:18:51,130
The heart of the empire!
217
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,600
Its fertile lands enjoy bountiful harvests.
218
00:18:54,740 --> 00:18:57,410
It could easily support an army of 500,000!
219
00:18:57,540 --> 00:19:01,040
More importantly, Jing connects to every other region.
220
00:19:01,580 --> 00:19:03,510
If we were to mobilize an army from there.
221
00:19:03,780 --> 00:19:05,820
whether it's to the north or south.
222
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:09,590
by wagons or ships, as infantry or cavalry, we could move fast.
223
00:19:10,350 --> 00:19:10,690
But...
224
00:19:11,860 --> 00:19:14,420
When attacking north from the Riverlands,
225
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,530
the terrain is treacherous
and the army has to march over 2,000 miles.
226
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,340
Where is Lord Liu?
227
00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:32,010
Hens now resting in the inner quarters. No one may disturb him.
228
00:19:32,110 --> 00:19:33,140
Step aside!
229
00:19:35,410 --> 00:19:37,750
The advantageous position we had obtained
230
00:19:37,850 --> 00:19:40,580
has vanished with the loss of Jingzhou.
231
00:19:40,980 --> 00:19:43,220
The three factions of Cao, Sun, and Liu
232
00:19:43,850 --> 00:19:48,090
ave now returned to a stifling stalemate once more
233
00:19:56,730 --> 00:19:58,330
What is it, Gongyou?
234
00:19:58,830 --> 00:20:01,240
My lord, Director General...
235
00:20:06,510 --> 00:20:09,010
Cao Pi forced the Emperor to abdicate.
236
00:20:09,610 --> 00:20:12,880
He established a new dynasty
and proclaimed himself Emperor of Wei.
237
00:20:13,050 --> 00:20:17,350
After the Emperor was deposed, he was banished from Xuchang.
238
00:20:18,890 --> 00:20:25,190
During the course of his journey, his boat sank in the Zhang River.
239
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,960
My lord, the great Han Dynasty that spanned four hundred years
240
00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:32,800
has been eradicated!
241
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,440
My lord! My lord!
242
00:20:39,940 --> 00:20:43,280
This was inevitable. You must take care of yourself.
243
00:20:44,550 --> 00:20:46,580
Oh, Heavens...
244
00:20:49,650 --> 00:20:52,320
My second brother only recently passed away,
245
00:20:52,620 --> 00:20:56,490
and the son of Heaven was also met with calamity.
246
00:20:59,660 --> 00:21:06,730
I have fought battles over the course of my life.
all in the name of serving the House of Han.
247
00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:14,670
But now, the House of Han is no more.
and the Emperor has met a most treacherous end.
248
00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:23,220
What's the use of me being a descendant of the imperial Liu family?
249
00:21:25,250 --> 00:21:30,720
What's the use of having great aspirations
and living for the pursuit of honor?
250
00:21:33,060 --> 00:21:36,360
To be alive is worse than death for me.
251
00:21:36,860 --> 00:21:38,460
My lord, my lord.
252
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:48,410
Your servant, Liu Bei, bows respectfully before Your Late Majesty.
253
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,500
Your Majesty...
254
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:19,040
Harsh was your lot in life!
255
00:22:19,870 --> 00:22:23,870
Since your youth.
you were humiliated and treated cruelly by traitors.
256
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,280
And then you were taken hostage by Cao Cao.
257
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:34,150
In the end, you died at the hands of the traitor Cao Pi.
258
00:22:34,990 --> 00:22:38,960
Vengeance has not been exacted.
The grave injustice has not been righted.
259
00:22:40,390 --> 00:22:45,530
The empire has been shattered.
The lands have fallen into the hands of evil men.
260
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:50,970
This is all because of my lack of ability.
261
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,870
In my role as the Imperial Uncle,
262
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:54,800
I received your blood-written edict
to annihilate the traitors and rebuild Han.
263
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,870
I received your blood-written edict
to annihilate the traitors and rebuild Han.
264
00:22:59,380 --> 00:23:05,150
But even after all these years,
I was still unable to fulfill Your Majesty's wishes.
265
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:12,590
could not live up to Your Majesty's expectations.
My sin is unforgivable!
266
00:23:13,090 --> 00:23:17,390
How can I can possibly face our royal ancestors?
267
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:31,570
I, Liu Bei, swear thus to the Heavens.
268
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,810
Though the Emperor Has passed away, the Han empire shall live on.
269
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:46,020
I vow to carry on the legacy of the empire,
270
00:23:46,790 --> 00:23:49,520
to rid the world of all these traitors,
271
00:23:50,060 --> 00:23:52,060
and to rebuild the great Han!
272
00:23:53,390 --> 00:23:55,360
My lord, please restrain your grief.
273
00:23:55,900 --> 00:23:56,730
If I may ask,
274
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,670
how do you plan to carry on the legacy of the empire?
275
00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:12,150
My lord, the Emperor has passed away.
276
00:24:12,950 --> 00:24:15,820
The country cannot be without a ruler for even a day.
277
00:24:16,220 --> 00:24:19,620
Since Cao Cab's son, Cao Pi, has proclaimed himself emperor...
278
00:24:20,790 --> 00:24:23,990
you have even more reason to continue the Han legacy.
279
00:24:24,890 --> 00:24:27,830
Ascend the throne and rally the world to your cause!
280
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:31,730
General Zilong is right.
281
00:24:32,770 --> 00:24:35,630
Allow no rest for the traitors. The Han must not retreat.
282
00:24:35,900 --> 00:24:39,300
Only by proclaiming yourself emperor can you continue the Han.
283
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,880
We respectfully request that your lordship ascend the throne.
284
00:24:44,010 --> 00:24:45,210
Insolence!
285
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:53,180
I am still in mourning garb.
286
00:24:53,290 --> 00:24:56,090
And already you would make me a disloyal man?
287
00:24:58,660 --> 00:25:01,960
My lord, Cao Pi already usurped the Han throne.
288
00:25:02,660 --> 00:25:04,630
As a descendant of the Han house.
289
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,270
you should succeed as emperor and keep the Han alive.
290
00:25:08,770 --> 00:25:09,700
Zilong.
291
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,340
As a Han subject,
292
00:25:13,010 --> 00:25:16,040
how could Impossibly emulate that traitors actions?
293
00:25:18,940 --> 00:25:22,710
My lord, the Emperor has been murdered by Cao Pi.
294
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,250
If you do not succeed him.
295
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,290
how can you declare a righteous war on the traitors?
296
00:25:28,420 --> 00:25:30,790
Moreover, all the people in the country
297
00:25:31,020 --> 00:25:35,130
yearn for you to accept Heaven's Mandate,
as.people in a drought yearn for rain.
298
00:25:35,630 --> 00:25:40,430
If you stick rigidly to propriety and refuse to take the next step,
299
00:25:40,730 --> 00:25:43,300
you will dash the hopes of the people.
300
00:25:55,780 --> 00:25:58,280
By usurping the throne and declaring himself emperor?
301
00:25:58,380 --> 00:26:00,780
Cao Pi is already reviled by the realm.
302
00:26:02,250 --> 00:26:04,390
Though I am a descendant of the Han,
303
00:26:04,590 --> 00:26:07,520
I have neither done any righteous acts for the world,
304
00:26:08,020 --> 00:26:11,390
nor have:!'gotten rid of the traitors and rebuilt Han.
305
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:13,800
If l proclaim myself emperor,
306
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:16,800
wouldn't that make me as wicked as Cao Pi?
307
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:23,270
What would I be in the eyes of learned men,
and of officers and commoners throughout the realm?
308
00:26:23,710 --> 00:26:24,640
My lord,
309
00:26:24,970 --> 00:26:28,280
your officers have followed you in battle
hither and thither for many years.
310
00:26:28,410 --> 00:26:31,210
They all want your to claim legitimacy and rule as emperor.
311
00:26:31,310 --> 00:26:32,680
How dare you, Wei Yan!
312
00:26:33,180 --> 00:26:35,350
Easy enough for you to say such words!
313
00:26:36,790 --> 00:26:38,650
can tell what you mean to say.
314
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:44,390
You want me to become emperor
so that all of you can obtain noble ranks too!
315
00:26:44,790 --> 00:26:48,260
If that's the case, I refuse to do it all the more!
316
00:26:55,870 --> 00:26:59,740
I would rather meet my end than proclaim myself emperor.
317
00:27:00,740 --> 00:27:04,210
Anyone who brings this up again shall be punished.
318
00:27:03,210 --> 00:27:04,210
Yes, sir.
319
00:27:09,420 --> 00:27:11,990
My lord! My lord
320
00:27:20,230 --> 00:27:21,490
Director General.
321
00:27:22,260 --> 00:27:25,230
The officers advocated ascension only out of loyalty.
322
00:27:25,770 --> 00:27:27,970
Why did our lord become so irate?
323
00:27:29,740 --> 00:27:30,970
Our lord became angry.
324
00:27:31,770 --> 00:27:33,540
It seems there is hope now.
325
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:34,270
Oh?
326
00:27:36,810 --> 00:27:38,040
Director General.
327
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,880
His Highness said, "I am ill and cannot manage state affairs,"
328
00:27:42,220 --> 00:27:45,480
From today, all state affairs shall be decided by Zhuge Liang.
329
00:27:45,590 --> 00:27:48,390
You may conduct affairs without reporting to me."
330
00:27:49,060 --> 00:27:51,660
Inform our lord that I accept his order.
331
00:27:54,830 --> 00:27:57,000
Director General, what does this mean?
332
00:27:59,470 --> 00:28:01,530
It seems our lord is truly angry.
333
00:28:15,550 --> 00:28:16,410
Zhengfang.
334
00:28:17,250 --> 00:28:18,050
Director General.
335
00:28:18,180 --> 00:28:20,720
At the funeral ceremony for the late emperor.
336
00:28:21,420 --> 00:28:24,520
the officers pleaded for our lord to ascend the throne.
337
00:28:24,990 --> 00:28:26,790
Why did you remain silent?
338
00:28:27,660 --> 00:28:29,330
To answer your question, sir,
339
00:28:29,860 --> 00:28:34,070
many key officers had already voiced their opinions on that day.
340
00:28:34,430 --> 00:28:37,070
There was no need for me to speak my mind.
341
00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:41,370
Please take a seat.
342
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,040
Thank you.
343
00:28:43,140 --> 00:28:44,210
Zhengfang.
344
00:28:45,210 --> 00:28:47,010
You are too respectful to me.
345
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:52,420
You are so respectful that it makes me wonder why you're doing this.
346
00:28:53,890 --> 00:28:56,050
The respect I show you, sir,
347
00:28:56,450 --> 00:29:00,560
is simply out of my heartfelt admiration for you.
348
00:29:02,830 --> 00:29:03,990
There's no need.
349
00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:08,770
We both serve our lord.
We should be at ease around each other.
350
00:29:08,870 --> 00:29:11,770
Then you can relax and I can have peace of mind.
351
00:29:11,970 --> 00:29:12,970
Yes, sir.
352
00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:23,580
Sir! What's the matter?
353
00:29:23,980 --> 00:29:26,920
My chest feels constricted and I cant breathe.
354
00:29:27,220 --> 00:29:29,390
Men! Bring the physician here now!
355
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,190
The Supreme Ancestor had...
356
00:29:34,860 --> 00:29:37,990
a high...a high..."
357
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,230
A high-bridged nose and royal features."
358
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,830
Right. "A high-bridged nose and royal features..."
359
00:29:46,170 --> 00:29:49,870
A handsome...a handsome..."
360
00:29:50,510 --> 00:29:51,940
A handsome beard."
361
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,780
Handsome...
362
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,440
A handsome beard."
363
00:29:55,950 --> 00:29:59,710
He had a handsome beard and 72 moles on his left thigh."
364
00:30:01,350 --> 00:30:05,350
He was virtuous and loved his people..."
365
00:30:01,350 --> 00:30:05,350
Wait... no. "He was generous..."
366
00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:11,230
Ah-Dou.
367
00:30:11,230 --> 00:30:15,230
You have spent three days memorizing
the "Annals of the Supreme Ancestor".
368
00:30:11,230 --> 00:30:15,230
From the Man Shu. the official hi
369
00:30:15,330 --> 00:30:17,970
How can you only remember just a few sentences?
370
00:30:18,730 --> 00:30:20,230
I'm just too dim.
371
00:30:20,340 --> 00:30:21,040
Dim?
372
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,770
What about games like ball-kicking and arrow-tossing?
373
00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:26,910
Why do you excel at those?
374
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,180
Come here.
375
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:42,220
Hold out your hand. Twenty strokes for you.
376
00:30:50,460 --> 00:30:52,030
Please be gentle, father.
377
00:30:52,130 --> 00:30:54,830
My hands are still swollen from yesterday's beating.
378
00:30:57,870 --> 00:30:58,670
My lord.
379
00:30:59,110 --> 00:30:59,940
My lord.
380
00:31:01,740 --> 00:31:05,310
Young Master's hands are still swollen.
Please save it for next time.
381
00:31:08,380 --> 00:31:09,180
Go.
382
00:31:09,950 --> 00:31:12,790
Continue memorizing. I shall test you again tomorrow.
383
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,350
Yes, Father.
384
00:31:22,260 --> 00:31:23,160
Gongyou,
385
00:31:23,530 --> 00:31:25,500
my child is hopelessly mediocre.
386
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,740
What is going to happen to him after I leave this world?
387
00:31:32,710 --> 00:31:35,070
My lord, he is still young.
388
00:31:35,340 --> 00:31:37,010
Once he's older, he'll be fine.
389
00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:38,640
I hope that's the case.
390
00:31:43,550 --> 00:31:44,380
Gongyou.
391
00:31:46,150 --> 00:31:48,820
You have served me for over 20 years, right?
392
00:31:48,990 --> 00:31:52,760
I entered your service during the third year of Zhongping, sir.
393
00:31:52,890 --> 00:31:55,330
It has been 23 years now.
394
00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:02,600
All those years went by in the blink of an eye.
395
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,400
Not many of our old comrades...
396
00:32:07,910 --> 00:32:09,540
are alive now.
397
00:32:13,910 --> 00:32:16,450
My lord^please ascend the throne.
398
00:32:16,950 --> 00:32:19,650
Time does not wait for any man.
399
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,490
Did Kongming make you say these things to me?
400
00:32:27,690 --> 00:32:29,290
I speak of my own accord.
401
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,460
If my lord does not become the emperor, I will die in regret.
402
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,070
Thank you.
403
00:32:44,710 --> 00:32:46,610
I will give it consideration.
404
00:32:50,250 --> 00:32:51,150
My lord.
405
00:32:51,550 --> 00:32:54,650
The Director General suddenly fell ill and could not get up.
406
00:32:55,050 --> 00:32:57,020
Administrative affairs are piling up,
407
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,050
but nobody dares to attend to them.
408
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,060
The Director General is sick?
409
00:33:02,330 --> 00:33:04,730
Prepare my carriage. I shall visit him.
410
00:33:04,930 --> 00:33:05,890
Yes, sir.
411
00:33:08,630 --> 00:33:10,930
Gongyou, would you like to come along?
412
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,640
It's all right. I would just inconvenience you two.
413
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,420
My lord.
414
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,490
Lie down, Kongming.
415
00:33:42,030 --> 00:33:43,330
What happened to you?
416
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,130
How did you get so ill?
417
00:33:46,770 --> 00:33:48,770
It's like there's a rock on my chest.
418
00:33:49,540 --> 00:33:51,510
It's unbearably constricting.
419
00:33:52,370 --> 00:33:53,710
How did it happen?
420
00:33:56,310 --> 00:33:58,310
Do you know a man named Hua Xin?
421
00:34:00,780 --> 00:34:01,480
I do
422
00:34:02,350 --> 00:34:04,650
He's Cao Pis trusted right-hand man.
423
00:34:05,650 --> 00:34:08,960
He was the prime instigator of His Majesty's abdication.
424
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,790
Cao Pi made him his chancellor.
425
00:34:12,030 --> 00:34:15,930
Years ago, Hua Xin and Guan Ning shared a sitting-mat
when they were in school together
426
00:34:16,060 --> 00:34:18,600
One day, a high-ranking official passed by the school.
427
00:34:18,670 --> 00:34:21,270
Guan Ning continued to study..
428
00:34:21,340 --> 00:34:25,740
Hua Xin, however, threw down the scroll in his hands
and went out to watch.
429
00:34:26,940 --> 00:34:28,410
When he returned,
430
00:34:28,610 --> 00:34:31,740
he saw Guan Ning cutting their sitting-mat in half,
431
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,580
saying, you are no friend of mine
432
00:34:35,950 --> 00:34:40,090
I too have heard the story of Guan Ning
severing his mat and friendship.
433
00:34:40,850 --> 00:34:44,690
Right now, the carriage that Hua Xin rides in
434
00:34:45,430 --> 00:34:49,430
is far more glamorous than the one he saw in the past.
435
00:34:49,730 --> 00:34:53,130
As for Guan Ning, he still continues to.study.
436
00:34:54,930 --> 00:34:58,970
My lord, between these two men, Hua Xin and Guan Ning,
437
00:34:59,540 --> 00:35:01,510
who is better? Who is worse?
438
00:35:02,540 --> 00:35:04,110
That is obvious.
439
00:35:04,780 --> 00:35:09,380
Guan Ning is a respectable gentleman.
440
00:35:04,780 --> 00:35:09,380
whereas Hua Xin is an opportunist.
441
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,780
How do I compare to Hua Xin?
442
00:35:12,550 --> 00:35:14,990
You are far superior. There is no comparison.
443
00:35:15,790 --> 00:35:18,960
But when Hua Xin proposed for Cao Bi to ascend the throne,
444
00:35:19,460 --> 00:35:20,720
Cao Pi agreed.
445
00:35:22,030 --> 00:35:24,900
Whereas when I asked my. lord to assume the position,
446
00:35:25,260 --> 00:35:26,860
you refused to do so.
447
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,670
My lord, even though Hua Xin may be a opportunist,
448
00:35:34,070 --> 00:35:35,470
Cao Pi isn't.
449
00:35:36,940 --> 00:35:40,510
His act of assuming therthrone*was a brilliant move.
450
00:35:41,150 --> 00:35:43,050
For him to compete with you,
451
00:35:43,180 --> 00:35:45,480
he had to seize the throne for himself.
452
00:35:46,980 --> 00:35:50,020
This was not due to Cao Pi's lust for power.
453
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:53,320
He was forced to do so by the circumstances.
454
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,230
If you desire to carry on the greatness of;the Han empire,
455
00:35:57,490 --> 00:35:59,760
you too must proclaim yourself emperor.
456
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:07,070
Kongming, I have a question for you.
457
00:36:08,140 --> 00:36:09,940
Please ask it, my lord.
458
00:36:11,070 --> 00:36:15,210
Initially, when I decided to become the Prince of Hanzhong,
459
00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:20,420
you were quite disapproving of it at heart.
460
00:36:21,150 --> 00:36:24,890
Why are you now trying to persuade me to become emperor?
461
00:36:28,930 --> 00:36:30,560
So that's the question
462
00:36:31,460 --> 00:36:33,900
that you've kept in your heart for two years.
463
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:36,460
Why didn't you ask it earlier?
464
00:36:38,070 --> 00:36:41,000
When I asked you not to become prince back then,
465
00:36:41,500 --> 00:36:43,440
I was being overly cautious.
466
00:36:43,740 --> 00:36:47,540
I was worried that it would make our army and the officers arrogant.
467
00:36:47,710 --> 00:36:50,440
But now, I'm persuading you to become emperor
468
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,480
because you have to do it.
469
00:36:52,850 --> 00:36:54,320
If you do not do it,
470
00:36:54,420 --> 00:36:58,490
then Cao Pi will be the only emperor under Heaven.
471
00:36:59,250 --> 00:37:01,190
Han no longer exists now.
472
00:37:01,660 --> 00:37:05,130
If you wish to avoid criticism and refuse to become emperor.
473
00:37:05,330 --> 00:37:10,060
eventually, those talented individuals
who desire to make a name for themselves
474
00:37:10,470 --> 00:37:13,230
may end up serving Cao Pi instead.
475
00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:21,580
Cao Cao commanded a large forced.
476
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,280
and used the emperor to dominate the other warlords.
477
00:37:26,910 --> 00:37:28,780
He campaigned across the realm.
478
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:33,290
but even on his death bed, he refused to declare himself emperor.
479
00:37:34,860 --> 00:37:37,720
It's not that Cao Cao did not wish to be emperor.
480
00:37:38,830 --> 00:37:42,130
Heaven did not grant him the opportunity to do so.
481
00:37:42,460 --> 00:37:45,500
Many warlords had risen to power and the land was in chaos.
482
00:37:46,170 --> 00:37:48,030
He feared that if he became emperor,
483
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:51,800
many others would also appoint themselves emperors or princes.
484
00:37:52,140 --> 00:37:55,170
The opponent that he most feared was you, my lord.
485
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,140
Hence, it was better if nobody declared themselves emperor,
486
00:37:59,750 --> 00:38:02,650
since he was the one with the puppet emperor in his hands.
487
00:38:02,950 --> 00:38:04,680
his to manipulate.
488
00:38:04,820 --> 00:38:06,820
But now, Han has fallen.
489
00:38:06,990 --> 00:38:08,890
and Cao Pi seized the throne.
490
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:10,990
If you wish to restore Han's glory,
491
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,390
you must proclaim yourself emperor.
492
00:38:19,970 --> 00:38:22,800
The reason why I've turned down the request so much...
493
00:38:24,340 --> 00:38:27,540
is that I'm concerned about what others may say.
494
00:38:29,270 --> 00:38:31,310
Unjustified actions are criticized.
495
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,280
If your actions are justifiable, what's to criticize?
496
00:38:34,610 --> 00:38:35,610
All know it.
497
00:38:35,710 --> 00:38:38,980
Heaven punishes those who do not seize a golden opportunity.
498
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,430
Kongming, you're not sick at all.
499
00:39:00,540 --> 00:39:02,010
Neither were you, my lord.
500
00:39:07,950 --> 00:39:09,010
Oh well.
501
00:39:10,980 --> 00:39:12,450
I have another concern.
502
00:39:14,350 --> 00:39:16,190
Those who advised ascending the throne
503
00:39:16,290 --> 00:39:19,520
were mostly veterans who followed me into the Riverlands.
504
00:39:19,820 --> 00:39:22,960
But what about the Riverlands officers who surrendered?
505
00:39:23,730 --> 00:39:26,830
Is my lord referring to people like Li Yan and Huang Quan?
506
00:39:26,930 --> 00:39:30,100
We must not ignore those who have long served the Riverlands.
507
00:39:30,230 --> 00:39:35,040
We must not, because this was originally their home.
508
00:39:36,110 --> 00:39:40,710
And then we conquered their land and made it our home instead.
509
00:39:54,420 --> 00:39:57,560
I apologize greeting you so late. Please forgive me.
510
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,600
I was passing by and felt thirsty.
511
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,730
I thought Id stop in for tea.
512
00:40:03,870 --> 00:40:04,930
Please come in.
513
00:40:26,390 --> 00:40:28,790
I heard that one year during the Zhongping reign,
514
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,530
the Riverlands experienced a severe drought.
515
00:40:32,190 --> 00:40:36,060
More than a quarter of those who lived along this road died of thirst.
516
00:40:37,830 --> 00:40:41,230
It was you, who summoned your clansmen to spend several months
517
00:40:41,540 --> 00:40:44,470
digging a hundred-span-deep well in your residence,
518
00:40:44,610 --> 00:40:47,570
thereby saving everyone in the neighborhood.
519
00:40:48,110 --> 00:40:51,380
This water tastes sweet and quite extraordinary.
520
00:40:52,610 --> 00:40:55,110
It must be from that well, correct?
521
00:40:56,250 --> 00:40:58,650
My lord is aware of that incident, too?
522
00:40:59,420 --> 00:41:03,120
That's why I decided to come here and have some tea.
523
00:41:07,390 --> 00:41:09,500
Forgive me for being blunt.
524
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:14,570
