Royal minister Lu.

So you are right.

His Royal Highness is grounded in the detached palace.

You should decide now.

Royal minister Lu.

It will be late if the imperial decree comes.

Yes, royal minister Lu.

Yes...

Decide now.

Do it.

Censor Chen.

Yes.

When will the court test end?

According to ministry of rites, it's from 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock.

Ok.

Let's make it 12:15.

Ok, strike the iron while it's hot.

I agree...

Now it's decided.

I trust you, but we can't let others know this.

So I hope you won't leave yamen.

Yes.

Royal minister Lu.

At least we should send someone to keep an eye on the Danfeng gate.

I will go.

You just come back from the detached palace.

You must be tired.

Royal minister Lu.

I live nearby. I will go.

Yes.

He lives in the alley nearby Danfeng Gate.

Royal minister Lu.

Let me go with Chen.

Okay

You can help each other.

Yes

One more thing.

Please keep it in mind.

We go there today and can't break our original promise.

Lest it is counterproductive when it comes to the detached palace.

Yes

Fuque.

When?

Censor Chen gave this secretly.

At 12:15, after the court test.

They want to make troubles?

They are not going to uphold justice for the crown prince.

They will ask his Majesty to send prince Qi to go to the fief.

Only two hours left.

How can we stop them?

What should we do?

My prince.

Chancellor

You should help prince.

Chancellor

Chancellor...

You need to help him.

What are you talking about

I need to take care of your two barracks' armaments and military provisions.

Chancellor

Chancellor

Shut up.

Paper and writing brush.

Ministry of Rites keeps the paper for the court test.

You should go to see him now.

You should tell him I need his help.

Tell him

If he can help me this time, he will be an important official one day.

Yes

Go

Guards. - Chancellor.

Send An Pingbo to the backyard.

I have a visitor.

The slander comes with a reason.

But the charge is out of thin air.

You are the emperor and my father.

Wish our country peaceful.

Today is my capping ceremony.

Dad, you want to give all I want to my brother?

Stop Lv Han.

He wears the armor without the imperial decree.

He will harm his Majesty.

My eldest son, Dingtang is enterprising.

I encourage him to make progress.

Today I give him the reward of a jade belt.

It hurts.

Your Majesty.

What?

Your Majesty.

Minister, He wants to see you.

Your Majesty.

Hush.

You need to prepare the court test, why are you here?

Have we arrived?

Your Majesty.

I am guilty of negligence.

When I went to fetch the paper, I found rats damaged it.

It's half-open.

But all the scholars are waiting inside.

Have you told this to the emperor?

The emperor is on the way to the capital.

But all the new scholars are in the palace.

If we tell the emperor now, the court test will be rescheduled.

Reschedule?

As I know, the censor hasn't paid the money for this month.

If they know, the reschedule, ministe...

You are so muddleheaded.

Don't worry.

A piece of cake.

Just in case.

I implore your Majesty to change the paper.

How long does it take to change the test paper?

Dozens of test papers.

It will take an hour to print them.

And the sealing.

Two hours are enough.

I hope the commander in chief will go for the inspection with me.

Minister He.

Yes.

I will give 3 hours.

I will find out who is to blame after the test.

Yes.

I need to talk to Li Chongkui.

Yes

Your Majesty.

You should go with minister He.

Give this to the ministry of rites.

Before the test paper is sealed,

people in the ministry can't go around.

Yes.

And.

The scholars should wait for me in Danfeng gate.

Before I arrive there, no one can go around.

Yes.

Go.

Attendant Chen.

The crown prince...

It's the first time for the crown prince to be in the chariot.

Why did he fall alseep?

He was sleepless for nights.

Your Majesty.

I can ride a horse.

For the solecism, I...

Chen Jin

Yes.

Court test is rescheduled.

We don't need to rush the schedule.

We need to arrive at the palace before 10 o'clock.

Yes.

Go on sleeping.

I dare not.

Your Grace.

The court test is postponed to 10 o'clock.

Go.

Yes

I have paved the way for you.

What you should do next is up to you, Chen.

Thank you for your help.

At my age, I am so envy of your young age.

You have a promising future.

Thank you.

But I still don't understand.

How can we disguise a major accident as a minor one?

Who told you I would disguise a major accident as a minor one?

Censor Li.

Censor Chen.

Why did you get changed for such a long time?

How's it going?

Why does the emperor come back so late?

Late.

What about the court test?

You should stay here.

I have to go back to yamen and tell royal minister Lu.

Ok...

I am here.

Stop.

The scholars are in there.

We should go to Danfeng gate now.

We should go into the hall after they enter Chuigong palace.

Yes.

Let's put an end to it.

Royal minister Lu.

We should go now.

They two are so ridiculous.

They don't inform us of the results.

So it means they have nothing to tell us.

You think the emperor will wait for any scholar?

Royal minister Lu.

Even if it doesn't end, we should avoid it for a while.

Royal minister Lu.

We should go.

If we are late, the crown prince will be away from the capital.

Yes

Yes

Yes

Royal minister Lu.

Royal minister Lu.

Royal minister Lu.

As long as they don't give the unanswered paper, they will have the places.

Just an eyesore.

Yes

He is brazen-faced.

He doesn't care about it.

Tell him to stay after the test.

We should have lunch together.

I have something to tell you

Yes.

May I ask...

He is brazen-faced.

It's also true for you.

Yes

What's wrong?

Lu Ying's son is one of them, right

Yes

Have you seen Lu Ying's family for more than once, right?

How can I see the courtier without your consent?

Your Majesty, the reason you ask me this is because

Dad

If I can't get away, please tell your dad the result.

Go back and tell your dad.

Everything is fine.

Don't be impulsive.

Lu...

Royal minister Lu.

You can't...

Stop it.

Are you fed up with living?

Your Majesty...

Tea, please.

So solicitous.

Thank you, dad.

Your Majesty.

Lu Ying went to Chuigong palace with all the censors.

to uphold justice for the crown prince.

Which blocks the court test.

Gu Fengen also joins in them.

You call them here?

How do they know the detached palace?

Your Majesty.

I am with you all the time.

So it's Lu Shiyu.

Your Majesty.

No, it's not him.

It's him.

He wants to uphold justice for you.

No.

He chooses this place and the time.

Not minister Lu.

Go.

Call Lu Shiyu here.

It's me.

Prince.

Leave the censors to me.

I will leave here for you.

After all, Lu Ying is not the only one that should be punished.

Refuse the test.

Lu Ying's son stood up first.

He stirred the exam hall.

So my guards arrest him.

These people...

Qi.

In front of his Majesty...

He chimes in with the censors.

You talk nonsense.

He wants to threaten you with the court test.

Your Majesty

All my fault.

But all of them are minister Lu's students.

I really...

Shut up.

Your Majesty.

Record the people who stand up.

Commander in chief.

You can't go.

Do you think he will listen to you or me?

Madam.

Do we need to put away the screen?

Leave it.

He wants to leave it to an important person.

Did the master know the name for the calligraphy?

We're about to leave.

Who knows?

We should ask him after we come back.

Take it off.

The jade belt.

And crown.

Prepare the chariot and send him to the mausoleum.

I want to know

Who dares to keep him stay.

Go...

Who is in the chariot?

Minister Lu, make way.

Teacher

Teacher

Teacher

Teacher

Make way.

Your Majesty.

I am going to leave.

I can't thank you enough for your trust.

Before I go, I hope to say something.

Back then, it's June 7.

The late emperor called me in the palace

He talked to me, pointing to the 5-year-old crown prince.

Please teach my grandson.

Hope you can do your best to teach him how to be a

loyal, filial, benevolent, dignified gentleman.

The day

I drank the tea.

After that, I couldn't forget the late emperor's trust and expectation for me.

He studies from the age of 5.

He is intelligent, and self-disciplined.

Now it's been 15 years.

Five thousand days

All these years, I asked for leave for several times.

But the crown prince was never absent.

So I can't assume myself as the teacher.

Sometimes it's hard for the gentlemen to make a choice.

Your Majesty's decision won't influence today or one man.

The superiors' virtue is the wind; The inferiors' virtue is grass.

Wherever the wind blows, the grass bends.

Today you protect all the scholars.

After you popularize all the gentlemen's good virtue to the world,

the world will be peaceful.

And the seniors and the kids can be supported.

Parents can get along with their children.

All the courtiers are loyal to the emperor.

So our country can exist for centuries.

And all the courtiers will be grateful.

Teacher.

No.

Stop talking

I hope your Majesty could have mercy.

Today's decision is an example for all the subjects.

Even for the generation to come.

I instigated all these.

Let me go.

I should be executed.

I don't want to make any trouble.

But I hope your Majesty could find out the truth.

It's all my fault.

Your Royal Highness.

Good bye.

Teacher.

Does it hurt?

Wait.

I'll send for a doctor.

Your Royal Highness.

It's been 15 years, five thousand days.

I have told you so many principles.

But I violate one today.

I am so ashamed.

No.

No.

Your Royal Highness.

Jade comes from Kungang.

The jade will be broken.

How can we find the beauty in it without destroying it?

How can we find people's virtue without any trial?

Your Royal Highness

Your self-made calligraphy.

So great.

We should call it Jincuodao.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Majesty.

All the imperial censors don't go.

We can't do anything.

You need to make the decision.

I know you are not afraid of offending heaven.

But I am afraid.

Li Chongkui

Call your men back.

And take the crown prince back.

Water.

I remember it.

Gentlemen die dignifiedly.

Let alone it's just a mausoleum.

Go fetch my clothes and crown.

I have told you,

Be self-cultivated and cautious.

I have told you, I won't have mercy on you if you hurt them.

Your Majesty.

As long as there is no imperial decree to discrown me.

you are still my subject.

Don't worry.

I won't investigate the one who prints the newspaper.

I won't investigate why the court test delayed.

And why the scholars refuse the court test.

I will leave the capital now.

I don't have much time.

Do you know? She can talk now.

That maid Wu.

You are just the crown prince.

You can not...

Yes, I can't intervene in politics.

But don't forget

I have Zhanshi department and Liangchunfang department.

They will begin the discussion.

All of the judicial departments will resort to the process.

They will investigate Lady Zhang's falling off the gate

at my capping ceremony again.

It's reasonable and justified.

Threaten me in front of the emperor.

You are not afraid

What should I be afraid

Tell me...

Do you think I will leave the capital first?

Or we find out the truth,

You will be deposed, imprisoned or sentenced to death?

Dad

Your Majesty.

It's so easy to do something.

Xi'er.

Madam.

Madam. - Xi'er.

All because of me.

What happened?

All because of me.

They...

They can't go home.

What should I do, ma'am?

It's all my fault.

What are you talking about

Madam.

Xi'er

Xi'er

What do you want?

Just in case

I have to find another man.

Chancellor says, he needs your help.

We need to add more firewood to the fire.
