Original subtitles

His Majesty probably knows it well.

Only this can make up for it.

What are you talking about?

It's just an ordinary belt.

A belt.

I have kept this for more than a dozen years.

It's so precious.

His Majesty wants to undermine my military power.

Easy for him to say.

Transfer them to control Gu Silin.

He won't cost anything.

He can kill two birds with one stone.

Why didn't I see this coming?

What's your plan next?

Now we can't change the fact.

But we need to do something.

Also, you can't have the jade belt for anything.

The day after tomorrow is the court test.

Yes.

Court test is a big affair.

Gu Feng'en will be there.

I'm afraid they will ignore your reward.

We should publish this for tomorrow's newspaper.

I will let the whole world know before the court test.

And, you should remember this for me.

Before this, you can't give them the news or list about soldiers.

Otherwise, you don't need to work in the ministry.

You should follow Li Ming'an to Changzhou.

One day you will be beheaded unknowingly.

What excuse should I have?

None of my business.

You should think of it yourself.

What's the jade belt?

His Majesty can take it as good luck.

You are an important official.

So what if you have the jade belt?

I think he is determined to give it to prince Qi

For the soldiers, he even talked about the outdated case.

What case?

I think he is afraid that people forget how he squeezed crown prince Min out.

Fengen, what nonsense are you talking about?

Nonsense?

Back then, my dad helped him get the belt.

It's good now.

He is going to suppress my dad with the belt's army.

How dare you!

Mind your language.

Go.

I know you stand on his side.

After all these years, why do you deceive yourself with the red tape?

Jia Yibo

You are in the palace now.

Are you fed up with living?

You are worried about me,

or him?

I'm worried about both of you.

You don't worry about yourself?

You know it hurts?

Hold it.

What will the court think with the belt and what he said?

How will you get through the incoming days?

The bloody horse.

Stay away.

We can't let the court know.

Let alone my teacher.

Feng'en.

You should go back to the capital now.

The head of the office of transmission is my uncle's student.

You should tell him

They can't report what happened for tomorrow's newspaper

How long will you keep the secret?

How long can you?

The day after tomorrow is the court test.

Stall it after the court test.

You should have known better.

Feng'en.

Make your pillow higher.

If you want to ride a horse.

Open the door.

Its taste is heavy, take it away.

Jia Yibo

Is it ok?

Are we good now, your Royal Highness?

His Majesty is not awake.

You didn't sleep well yesterday.

Maybe you need a nap.

I will inform you of the time to visit your dad.

You won't miss it.

No need.

I'll wait in front of his Majesty's Palace

Breakfast

It can't get cold.

Yes

Wang.

Have you prepared the imperial chariot to go back?

Jia Yibo

The emperor will go back tomorrow...

No, today, right?

We made it the early morning originally.

So the emperor can see it in the evening.

This one, he loves the newspaper.

We need to see if they will wait till the evening.

His Royal Highness means

We don't tell people about this before the court test ends.

He will answer for all in front of the emperor.

Answer for what?

Anyway he is used to it.

I really admire him.

Has he been standing there for more than one hour right?

It's been more than ten years.

He gets used to it.

His Majesty is getting up.

Go...

Go prepare the breakfast

Chancellor.

Chancellor.

Meteorolite on 10th.

On 11th, assistant minister of revenue is transferred to

ministry of official personnel affairs.

On 11th, the peasant in the suburb has six kids.

What's more?

Nothing.

In the end, we can't get what we want.

Why do I need this?

Before getting the army roster, they block the news that

prince has the jade belt.

I think it's the emperor's style.

The minister of office of transmission was under Gu Silin's leadership.

Crown prince.

Did you have your breakfast?

No breakfast.

I'll go to see the emperor.

Add the chopsticks for the prince.

I have it sent to the emperor.

The emperor will teach him a lesson.

But erase my news, what's the lesson he will give?

Prince.

Sit.

You didn't sleep well last night?

I...

What's this?

Today's news.

Why it's here?

You love that girl so much?

Your Royal Highness.

His Majesty is asking you.

Yes

What?

It's my order.

I will take the full responsibility.

Your order?

Can you afford it?

The army will be sent, and prince Qi will leave.

It means Tianchang squad will be moblized.

The emperor is skeptical about chancellor.

And chancellor is prince Qi's clique.

Prince Qi will leave the capital soon.

Great.

Ok.

Finally.

Minister Lu, let me tell you.

Where does the newspaper come from?

From the official clerk of yemen.

Where does the official clerk come from?

Bloody question.

Of course, the office of transmission.

Really?

Royal minister Lu.

What do you mean?

Except the office of transmission,

who can print this?

Am I right?

Yes, no one dares to print these.

Royal minister Lu.

Royal minister Lu.

Dad

It's not me.

Chen Jin

Yes.

Did I hear it wrong?

The crown prince said it's his order right?

Well, yes.

I told the office of transmission not to print what happened yesterday.

But I don't know this.

Call me Majesty.

What are you thinking about?

You dare to do this filthy thing.

Why the news is different from mine?

Where did you get this?

His Royal Highness of course.

Was he insane yesterday?

How can he do such a stupid thing?

Where are you going?

See the emperor.

Do you know what you should do and say?

What else can I say?

I have to say the crown prince did this.

Now all the ministers think I am a traitor.

The emperor is sensible.

If you can't figure out what the emperor thinks about,

you can't go far with his love for you.

I want to ask you a few questions.

What is the emperor worried about now?

Gu Silin has the military force.

His Royal Highness said he told the office of transmission to cut the news.

Yes

Also.

You don't know who adds the news of the deployment

Yes.

Another question.

What does his Majesty get most?

Tiancheng squad, I think.

Who can prove your words?

The head of the office of transmission.

No more.

Where did Jia Yibo go

He returned to the capital to prepare for the court test.

Commander in chief.

He doesn't know this.

So what is his Majesty worried about most?

Something wrong with the moblization.

He is worried that the crown prince

divulged the news on purpose to help Gu Silin.

I also worried that I detain the army roster with the news.

He is afraid that I will chime in with the crown prince.

So he won't moblize the troop.

So how should we explain this?

Or

Who did this?

Li Chongkui.

Who are you defending?

I am listening.

You want to stop Tianchang squad from going to Changzhou.

So no one will influence Changzhou's governor, right?

No.

Commander in chief, you can find another newspaper in the capital.

All the newspapers are printed

with the movable-type printing of copperplate.

People can print it in two versions. - No.

But why does the emperor think the crown prince did this?

Because he feels ashamed.

Because he thinks he is sorry for the crown prince.

And the crown prince will be sorry for him.

Now you know what to say and do in front of the emperor?

Tell people to revoke and destroy all issued reports.

Yes

Arrest the head of the office of transmission and Jia Yibo.

Your Majesty.

Feng'en.

Court test

You two don't need to go.

Please give him another chance

Your Majesty.

Dad

Trust me once.

How dare you!

Your Majesty

I am guilty and should be punish.

I want to return the reward and leave the capital.

Guilty and be punished?

Yes

I can't afford your reward, and I am guilty.

I am guilty of overstepping the bounds and rudeness.

I am guilty of vanity.

I didn't reject the reward and ministers are skeptical.

Now it invites the criticism.

I should be punished.

Minister Lu.

Jia Yibo

Royal minister Lu.

Is the teacher back?

Teacher read today's newspaper right?

Minister Lu is not here.

Not here.

Jia Yibo

What happened in the detached palace?

I know what happened yesterday.

And I am curious about what's happening now.

I give the reward.

You are not happy about it.

You are not, either.

You both are guilty.

Then what about me?

I am sorry.

Please take the reward back.

And punish me severely to let things settle down.

What will settle down after I punish you severely?

Punish me severely so that chancellor will be wary.

Do you know what you are talking about now?

I know.

I am your courtier,

and then your son.

If I sabotage your plan, I won't redeem it with my death.

My plan?

Your Majesty.

Ming'an, you are not in the camp?

Tian Changwei's roster is missing.

It takes more than two months to remake it.

Your Majesty.

Should we take desperate measures?

What's the use if we kill him?

Ming'an, you should go back now.

Your Majesty.

What happened?

Do you want to know?

No.

Lv Han said the Tianchang squad's roster is missing.

It takes more than two months to remake it.

Excuse.

It's...

This time I need to chime in with the crown prince.

Yes, it's an excuse.

But you are happy about the result, right?

If you think so, there is nothing I can do but die.

Chongkui.

Go to tell chancellor.

He doesn't need to go with me.

He should go back to the capital first for the court test.

Yes

Prince Qi, you should go back with me.

Yes

As for the crown prince.

You should stay here and write a self-criticism.

After the court test, I need to give all the ministers an answer to this matter.

Your Majesty.

And...

Since you value it so much, I can give it back to you.

Take it to mausoleum.

Your Majesty.

As for when you can go back to the capital,

I will let you know when the time comes.

Your Majesty.

You want to abandon me?

Dad

Gentlemen should die with the crown dignifiedly.

Crown prince.

Please wear your crown well.

Leave yourself some decency.

Exchange the military power with jade belt.

Such a bad idea.

What is his Majesty thinking about?

He will humiliate the crown prince.

It's all the dead-end for the crown prince no matter what.

In order to suppress what happened yesterday,

it's the only way.

So I didn't stop his Royal Highness.

I don't know who is so wicked to have this dirty way.

I'm afraid Li Baizhou takes this as an excuse to stop the mobilization.

With his Majesty's temper, the crown prince won't defend himself.

I will discuss it in the yemen.

But this matter,

Commander in chief won't take action.

So I have to investigate it.

If I can find it out, there will be a turnaround.

If I can't find it out,

Royal minister Lu.

His Royal Highness' safety...

I will try my best.

Jia Yibo

I hope things won't go worse than that.

I know

I will work hard

Jia Yibo

If his Majesty reads this newspaper,

you should be careful.

I get it.

When you told me to print it, I was so furious.

I didn't expect it worked.

You the literate are so sophisticated.

It will be too scary if you can know the providence.

What's your opinion, scholar Xu?

I am so lucky to have your proposal.

But the thing is,

You never see his Majesty.

how can you be so insightful for the emperor's mind?

It's so creepy.

Thank you for your compliment.

I don't know the emperor's mind.

This time it's the sheer luck.

Well said.

I used to tell the prince, and you are the enterprising scholar.

You will have a bright future after you become an official.

If it's true, it's because of your help.

Of course.

How can I give you to others?

What if the jinx annoys the prince?

An Pingbo, you mean the jinx is the censor?

Trade with the jade belt, we have never heard of it

since the founding of our dynasty.

I need an answer from his Majesty.

Otherwise, why do we need the robe?

It's not about the newspaper.

The court won't be peaceful until prince Qi leaves the capital.

Yes...

I want to see the emperor.

And tell him to fulfill the promise that prince Qi goes to his fief.

I wrote this paper.

If you think the same way, please sign your name.

Ok.

I will sign.

Me...

Go...

You all sign your names.

It's such a big matter.

So?

You are scared?

I am afraid it won't be helpful for the crown prince.

Maybe it will be harmful.

Wish them good luck.

In the capital, which one is the largest press?

Young master.

In the east of the city.

I know the way.

Go.

Now the censorate gives the petition.

The emperor will be more skeptical about the crown prince.

I am happy to see this.

You are overthinking, An Pingbo.

It's the way I am.

But it's ok.

Xu, have lunch with us here.

I need to prepare for tomorrow's court test.

I have to go now.

Okay

The emperor thinks the crown prince is guilty.

The censorate goes for the petition.

It's counterproductive.

An Pingbo

No offense.

May I ask, where did you print the newspaper?

The largest press in the capital.

Movable-type printing?

Of course

You have removed the engravings?

Also dismissed the printers?

Are you overthinking?

I think An Pingbo can do it well, right?

I gave them tens of thousands of money.

I will dismiss them after they finished it.

Otherwise, I will waste my money.

Tens of thousands of money?

Dozens of yamen in the capital.

I'm afraid it's not enough.

You are so ridiculous.

You still hoard this?

Guards.

Your Grace.

Take some men to burn all the unissued newspaper.

Arrest all the printers.

No one can be missed.

And...

Don't let the censorate know.

I know it, I can lead the way.

An Pingbo

Can you stop talking?

Sit down

What is going on?

Besides censorate, you need to intercept him.

Just over there.

Turn left.

You...

Hurry, burn it.

Hurry...

Put it here.

Hurry.

Hurry up

Here

Here.

Hurry.

Here, give it to me.

Hurry...

Burn it.

Burn, hurry.

Open the door

Young master.

No trace to be found.

Where are they?

Who?

All set?

Yes.

We should stop Jia Yibo here?

No need.

As long as he has no evidence

chancellor will be safe.

Go.

Tell this to...

Miss Lu

You have left the capital right?

Not yet

You have heard what I said to royal minister Lu?

I went there to help the madam pack up her things.

Do you know where minister Lu is?

He was not there when I went there.

I don't know either.

You are here for...

Just like me, you come late.

The ashes are still warm.

Have you checked how many copperplates here?

How many workers?

How many can they print in one hour?

More than twenty copperplates altogether.

Workers.

As I know, it's about a dozen.

Many people and plates.

All yemen got the newspaper.

But why do they print till now?

You mean...
