Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,920
The Scholar and the Emperor
2
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,280
Chief.
3
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:41,560
Chief.
4
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,080
They're all over there.
5
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,400
Chief.
6
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Prime merchandise from every province.
7
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,360
Go.
8
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,200
These are their indenture papers.
9
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,760
There'll be no trouble afterward.
10
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,760
Send them all over.
11
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:07,880
Yes.
12
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,920
Chief, they're just toys.
13
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,040
They're worthless.
14
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,280
Open it.
15
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,040
Get up.
16
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,520
How old are you two?
17
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Six.
18
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,920
I'm five.
19
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,120
Tell me,
20
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,680
why did you come here?
21
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,640
-They said we'd get good food.
-They said we'd get good food.
22
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,560
Who said that?
23
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,920
Point him out to me, all right?
24
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,480
-Him.
-Him.
25
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,000
Me?
26
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,120
Chief, it wasn't me!
27
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,360
I knew nothing about this.
I didn't know there were children.
28
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,320
I'll take you somewhere nice.
29
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,640
There's lots of delicious food there.
30
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,080
Would you like that?
31
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,080
-Yes.
-Yes.
32
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:32,880
Good girls.
33
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,760
Come on.
34
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,280
Careful.
35
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Chief!
36
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,760
I truly didn't know
there were children inside.
37
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,200
I didn't know anything.
38
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,480
He was in charge of all this.
39
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,400
It was him.
40
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,320
It was him!
41
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,800
-It wasn't me!
-Chief, spare me!
42
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,080
I wouldn't dare,
not even with all the nerve in the world.
43
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,080
Chief, this truly had nothing to do with me.
44
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,440
Chief, this wasn't my fault.
I truly knew nothing.
45
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,360
Chief!
46
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Please spare me, Chief!
47
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,640
Chief!
48
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,800
Didn't I tell you
49
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,320
we may sell anything but children?
50
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,800
You did.
51
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,280
Chief!
52
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,640
This truly had nothing to do with me.
53
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,560
Chief, please spare my life!
54
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,040
There won't be a next time.
55
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,440
Big Brother.
56
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,360
Thank goodness.
57
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,600
How many times did I warn you?
58
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,440
The Chief has no tolerance for this.
59
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,560
He repeatedly forbade us
to touch children.
60
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,000
I was wrong. I lost my head.
61
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,560
Children have been fetching
high prices lately.
62
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,240
I'll never do it again.
63
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,760
You think the Chief doesn't know
who did it?
64
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,240
Little brother,
65
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,800
you heard him just now.
66
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,520
The Chief said
67
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,360
this is your last chance.
68
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,480
Understood.
69
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,760
Big Brother,
70
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:11,840
I can redeem myself.
71
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,720
I've found out who wiped out
72
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,520
our Shazhou branch.
73
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,160
-Are you certain?
-Absolutely.
74
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,200
After extensive investigation,
75
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,560
the pattern on this arrow resembles
a flower called Xiyan.
76
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,800
It grows in the miasma forest
between Beijian and former Zhongwan,
77
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,160
nourished by the poisonous vapors.
78
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,840
It blooms at night, withers by day,
and feeds on living creatures.
79
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,000
It also symbolizes hatred and revenge.
80
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,840
Anyone using this flower as an emblem
81
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,800
cannot be an innocent buyer.
82
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,920
Could it be Beijian?
83
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,040
Beijian may lack iron ore
84
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,160
and have inferior weapons,
but its warhorses are excellent.
85
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,800
It has also expanded its cavalry
in recent years.
86
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,880
We must remain on guard.
87
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,480
Zhongwan is even less likely.
88
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,000
Zhongwan submitted to Great Ning long ago,
89
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,240
and there has been peace for years.
90
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,120
When Zhongwan fell,
91
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:00,640
its people were exiled across the realm
92
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,720
and enslaved for generations.
93
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,440
But one branch
of the Zhongwan royal family
94
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,080
escaped with its remaining forces.
95
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,840
Their whereabouts remain unknown.
96
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,640
This must be investigated thoroughly.
97
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:10,200
Your Majesty,
98
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,880
this is like searching
for a needle in the ocean.
99
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,320
And because it involves state secrets,
100
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,720
I can only investigate covertly.
101
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,320
That makes it even harder.
102
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,840
In that case,
103
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,560
I'll grant you an official post.
104
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,720
It will let you investigate discreetly,
105
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,800
inspect the capital's merchants,
106
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,160
and review commercial taxes
across the provinces.
107
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,520
You shall be Commissioner of Folkways.
108
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,560
Commissioner of Folkways?
109
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,880
Why does that title sound
110
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,160
a little improper?
111
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,280
What?
112
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,400
Is the title unworthy
113
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,240
of Lord Shen's refined reputation?
114
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,360
Your Majesty's word is law.
115
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,280
Of course it's worthy.
116
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,440
Then let me take Your Majesty
to Changle Street to sample the local color.
117
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,840
Commissioner of Folkways...
118
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,160
The palace is full
of the Left Chancellor's spies.
119
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,800
The shadow guards just sent word.
120
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,760
The Left Chancellor has people
spreading rumors through the city
121
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:53,200
that this special examination
is nothing but a ruse.
122
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,080
Once the results are announced,
123
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,360
the talented women will be sent
to the Imperial Entertainment Bureau.
124
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,760
He's endured it for three months,
125
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,520
yet the Left Chancellor still hasn't
swallowed his anger over the Ministry of War.
126
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,240
Now he merely wants to humiliate me
through the special examination.
127
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:07,120
By spreading these rumors,
128
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,280
he assumes
129
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,680
women are timid
130
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:10,920
and cannot weather a storm.
131
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,640
Some candidates have indeed
withdrawn and returned home.
132
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,480
Your Majesty, will you simply let
these rumors run rampant?
133
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,720
An official
134
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,240
must possess courage and wisdom.
135
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,040
If they abandon the examination today
136
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,160
and return home because of rumors,
137
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,720
how could they ever withstand
138
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,200
the open attacks and hidden schemes
of the royal court?
139
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,640
I should thank the Left Chancellor
140
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,320
for sparing me the palace examination.
141
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,280
Your Majesty.
142
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:40,920
Your Majesty, I have a report.
143
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,640
By order of the Left Chancellor,
144
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,240
I respectfully present this plaque.
145
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,960
The ancestral law of Great Ning:
146
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,600
A romance between sovereign and minister
shakes the foundations of the state.
147
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:54,560
All nine clans shall be executed.
148
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,080
As I recall, Emperor Taizong
149
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,040
had an affair with a female attendant,
150
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,040
which sparked mutinies in two provinces.
151
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,480
That is why this ancestral law was written.
152
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,920
The Left Chancellor is implying
153
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,960
that Your Majesty reopened
the women's examination for personal romance.
154
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,400
The Left Chancellor ordered me
155
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,480
to hang this plaque
in the center of the imperial study.
156
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Should Your Majesty refuse,
157
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,800
he will come petition you himself.
158
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,240
Insolence!
159
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,400
Huo An,
160
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,560
how dare you speak so brazenly?
161
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,680
Huang Bo.
162
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,400
General Huo, hang it up.
163
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Thank you, Your Majesty.
164
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,640
First he spread rumors
165
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,800
to frighten away the female candidates.
166
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,440
Now he invokes ancestral law.
167
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,440
The Left Chancellor has made
two moves in succession.
168
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,680
It seems he can no longer wait.
169
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,360
That stubborn old man is unbelievably petty.
170
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,400
Your Majesty sent him a plaque
bearing Ding Chong's name,
171
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,720
so he returns the favor
with an ancestral-law plaque.
172
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,280
I have no such intentions.
173
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,080
Even if every hall were covered
with ancestral laws, why should I fear?
174
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,160
I mean to tell every official plainly:
175
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,600
women, too, can be blades
that serve the nation.
176
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,560
This court
177
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,400
has never belonged
to the Left Chancellor alone.
178
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,040
I support Your Majesty.
179
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,600
The women sitting the special examination
180
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:05,800
are all staying on Changle Street.
181
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,000
Your Majesty should inspect
the talent for yourself.
182
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,400
You might even happen upon
183
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,240
Provincial Laureate Meng from Shazhou.
184
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:13,640
The Left Chancellor sent that plaque
185
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:14,880
to warn you
186
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,480
to show restraint.
187
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:17,400
Me?
188
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:18,520
Exactly.
189
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Your Majesty isn't going anywhere.
190
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,880
Why not?
191
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:23,720
We're going.
192
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,680
A thousand night-market lamps
illuminate the clouds;
193
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,360
red sleeves fill the lofty towers.
194
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,080
Who knew beyond the palace walls
195
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,080
the mortal world could be so splendid?
196
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:41,880
This flourishing age of Great Ning
197
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:42,960
is exactly what Your Majesty wished for.
198
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:46,680
The beauties of Changle Street
are truly each unique.
199
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,920
The lady on the left has sparkling eyes;
200
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,720
the beauty on the right
has ruby lips and pearly teeth.
201
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,440
Marvelous.
202
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,520
Changle Street at night
203
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,960
is even more dazzling than by day.
204
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,040
This glittering, decadent Changle Street
205
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,920
is filled with handsome young men.
206
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,240
I absolutely love it.
207
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,840
Yan Fuzhi.
208
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,200
Mengmeng, all this walking
has made me hungry.
209
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,280
A waiter told me today
210
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,360
that Chunman Inn serves mutton noodles too.
211
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,440
Let's see how they compare
to the noodles back in Shazhou.
212
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,440
Come on.
213
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,360
Places of wealth and pleasure
214
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,200
often breed the ugliest things beneath.
215
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,400
Young Master He,
216
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:30,640
this isn't Shazhou.
217
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,320
We're right beneath the Emperor's feet.
218
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,000
Who would dare cause trouble here?
219
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:36,280
Let us hope this prosperity
220
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:37,840
isn't merely gilded on the outside
221
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,240
and rotten within.
222
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,240
Young Master He never stops
worrying about the country and its people.
223
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,240
Cousin, we've been walking for ages.
224
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,640
My stomach is protesting.
225
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,320
Let's get something to eat
226
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,480
at Changle Street's famous Chunman Inn.
227
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,720
Provincial Laureate Meng, you're back!
228
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,040
Manager, two bowls of mutton noodles.
We're starving.
229
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,200
Coming right up.
230
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,440
Perfect. There's a good table here.
Sit down.
231
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,520
Young Master He is here.
232
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,200
Welcome.
233
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,760
The usual today?
234
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,320
The usual. Bring it out.
235
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:10,560
Certainly.
236
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,560
This way, honored guests.
237
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,560
Mengmeng, what are you looking at?
238
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,120
Nothing.
239
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:27,440
Apricot blossoms.
240
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:34,760
Mengmeng,
241
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,320
you know Shazhou has nothing
242
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,160
but poplars and yellow sand.
243
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,400
Where would we ever see
flowers this beautiful?
244
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,280
Bring us every house specialty.
245
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,160
-And a flask of Shaosanbai.
-Certainly.
246
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,240
Wait.
247
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,880
You know Young Master never drinks.
248
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,680
You're the one craving wine, aren't you?
249
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,040
As if you aren't always
the fiercest drinker.
250
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,520
Lord Shen usually spends
next month's salary today.
251
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,240
Why so generous all of a sudden?
252
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:18,520
Cousin,
253
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,560
I rendered great service in Shazhou.
254
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,000
Surely treating a meritorious official
to a meal isn't excessive?
255
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,040
Wouldn't you agree?
256
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,920
I knew bringing Young Master out
to gather local color
257
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,240
wasn't that simple.
258
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,360
Three bowls of mutton noodles.
259
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:29,720
Certainly.
260
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,320
Three bowls of mutton noodles.
261
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,240
Cousin,
262
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,520
is that truly all we're having?
263
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,560
Why?
264
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:36,840
There's meat, noodles,
265
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,320
and vegetables.
266
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,760
What more could Lord Shen want?
267
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,040
Were you hoping to use
Young Master's generosity
268
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,320
to impress all those ladies?
269
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:46,880
What ladies?
270
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,160
Mutton noodles simply remind me
271
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,000
of that fierce proprietress in Shazhou.
272
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,000
What a terrifying woman.
273
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,000
Enjoy.
274
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,360
This broth is so bland,
275
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,600
and the mutton is limp and flavorless.
276
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,760
Mengmeng, once you become
the top scholar in the capital,
277
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,280
I'll open a Bofeng House here
and stay with you.
278
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,080
Then Chunman Inn's signboard
279
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,400
can be chopped up for firewood.
280
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:28,880
Fuzhi,
281
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,000
the capital is filled with talent.
282
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,640
I don't even know whether
I'll pass the metropolitan exam.
283
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,960
How could I speak of placing first?
284
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:35,880
Mengmeng,
285
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,520
I heard today
286
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,080
that all women taking this exam
will be sent to the Entertainment Bureau.
287
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,040
Many have withdrawn because of it.
288
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,440
I'm worried about you.
289
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,560
Why heed such absurd rumors?
290
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,760
How do you know they're false?
291
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,120
His Majesty reopened
292
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,760
this special examination
despite opposition from every side.
293
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:55,880
This rumor
294
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,320
must be the work of powerful officials
295
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,560
who oppose women entering
the civil service
296
00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,680
and are scheming in secret.
297
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,040
They hope the rumors
298
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,640
will scare timid candidates away.
299
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,480
Those shameless villains
300
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:05,520
have no respect for the law.
301
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:12,920
Eat your noodles.
302
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,360
Ever since returning from Shazhou,
303
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,040
Young Master has kept mentioning
mutton noodles.
304
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,080
The first taste must always be the broth.
305
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,240
It isn't as good as Shazhou's.
306
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,520
-Mengmeng, over here!
-Fuzhi!
307
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,840
Give it to me. I'll carry it.
308
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:11,760
How was it? Was the exam difficult?
309
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,040
No.
310
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,440
-Did you do well?
-Yes.
311
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,400
I knew a little metropolitan exam
could never defeat you.
312
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,040
Fellow candidate,
313
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,040
you dropped your ink stick.
314
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,640
Thank you.
315
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:31,360
Mengmeng,
316
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,400
she's beautiful.
317
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,040
The examination hall is full
of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
318
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,240
She must be no ordinary young lady.
319
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:39,520
Let's go.
320
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,720
I specially drew this most auspicious lot
for you at Lingquan Temple.
321
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,000
The monk who interpreted it said
your name will surely grace the honor roll.
322
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,240
Mengmeng, what are you searching for?
323
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,560
Nothing.
324
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,280
Perhaps I was mistaken.
325
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,000
Are you exhausted?
326
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,360
I reserved a table for you
at Chunman Inn
327
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,520
with especially nourishing dishes
328
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,520
to restore your strength.
329
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:24,840
Let's go.
330
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,320
This way.
331
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,080
He's so handsome.
332
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,560
Dear sister, did you miss me
these past three days?
333
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:44,720
I haven't seen you for a few days,
334
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,040
and you've already lost weight.
335
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:47,720
Why are you here all of a sudden?
336
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,040
Did you cause trouble again
and come use me as a shield?
337
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:51,920
What a thing to say.
338
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,200
As your loving brother,
339
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,680
of course I worry about you.
340
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,960
I even set aside my official duties
to come here.
341
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,480
You could have entered office
through family privilege, just as I did.
342
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,320
Why insist on taking
this special examination?
343
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,840
You never flatter me without a reason.
344
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:06,560
Fine.
345
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,040
Father sent me to fetch you.
346
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:09,280
A-Nian insisted on coming too,
347
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:10,720
but official business suddenly detained him.
348
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,000
I knew it.
349
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,360
Why else would our esteemed Lord Shen
350
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,960
suddenly care so much about my affairs?
351
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,680
Father told me to hurry you home
to celebrate.
352
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,160
He even brought out his treasured wine.
353
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,040
But something is strange.
354
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:23,880
How did Father know
I'd definitely pass?
355
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,320
-You don't believe in me?
-Of course I do.
356
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,920
My sister could recite the Analects at three
357
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,320
and understood the Songs of Chu at seven.
358
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,680
Everyone in the capital knows
359
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,280
the name of the great scholar Shen.
360
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:33,200
Besides,
361
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:35,520
just look whose sister you are.
362
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,640
Slow down. Don't bump into anyone.
363
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,760
Left Chancellor.
364
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,360
The metropolitan examination is over.
365
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,240
All candidates have left the compound.
366
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,560
Here are the sealed examination papers.
367
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,880
The results will be posted tomorrow.
368
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,320
Today I'll release a sky lantern for you
369
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,280
to welcome good fortune.
370
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:16,600
May my pen carry me into public service,
371
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,480
change my destiny,
372
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,000
and protect those dearest to me.
373
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,200
It will.
374
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,240
Once you pass,
375
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,200
I'll open an even bigger Bofeng House
in the capital.
376
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,400
We'll stay here together.
377
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,040
-We'll stay in the capital together.
-Stay in the capital.
378
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,800
May Mengmeng's name grace the honor roll.
379
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,360
May Bofeng House spread across Great Ning.
380
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:07,920
I passed!
381
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,080
I passed!
382
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,560
Excuse us. Let us through.
383
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,200
Please let us through.
Excuse us.
384
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,280
I passed!
385
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,560
I passed too!
386
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,480
I passed!
387
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,360
Why isn't your name there?
388
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:26,680
Keep looking.
389
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,600
That's me. Right there.
390
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:29,840
Here.
391
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:30,760
I'm here.
392
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,680
Why can't we find it?
393
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,600
Could there be a mistake?
394
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,040
Mengmeng.
395
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,600
Let me through.
396
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:26,960
Mengmeng!
397
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,160
Mengmeng!
398
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:29,920
Mengmeng!
399
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,960
Could there be a mistake?
400
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,560
The papers were reviewed jointly
401
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,360
by officials from the Ministry of Rites
and the Hanlin Academy.
402
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:43,640
There can't be a mistake.
403
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,080
I'll check again.
404
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,320
Fuzhi.
405
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:48,280
Don't.
406
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,240
I'm suddenly hungry.
407
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,560
Let's eat.
408
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,120
Do the officials in this capital
look down on everyone?
409
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,280
Your essay wasn't selected?
410
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,680
They must all be blind.
411
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,160
The capital is crowded with prying ears.
412
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,280
Don't speak in anger.
413
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,160
Great Ning's seven provinces
are filled with talent.
414
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,400
Even a Provincial Laureate
415
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,360
isn't guaranteed to become
a Metropolitan Graduate.
416
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,040
The capital isn't so wonderful anyway.
417
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:41,120
It can't even serve
a decent bowl of mutton noodles.
418
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Shazhou is thriving now.
419
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,600
You're a Provincial Laureate.
420
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:46,680
Even if you return to Shazhou,
421
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,200
you could secure an official post.
422
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,880
Let's go back together.
423
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,760
Government vacancies
424
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:53,800
don't appear every year.
425
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,680
What use is my Provincial Laureate title?
426
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:59,160
Don't speak of yourself that way.
427
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,200
Master Zhuge was twenty-seven
when he entered public life.
428
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,600
Jiang Taigong was seventy-two
when his talents were recognized.
429
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:04,520
Three years from now,
430
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,000
I'll come with you
to take the exam again.
431
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,360
Mengmeng, you can do it.
432
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,760
I've walked this path for ten years.
433
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,000
I worked for ten years,
434
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,640
but I still didn't reach the end.
435
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,960
I tried so hard.
436
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,160
I truly tried.
437
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,440
Mengmeng.
438
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,960
I know.
439
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,600
I saw everything.
440
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:42,360
Even if you never pass,
441
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,280
you are still the finest Meng Tinghui
in the whole world.
442
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:47,480
You are the one and only Meng Tinghui.
443
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,000
The loyal and upright remain silent,
444
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,560
while the wicked and flattering
advance by the day.
445
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:01,800
When faults go unseen,
446
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,240
ruin inevitably follows.
447
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,360
This essay is incisive.
448
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,000
Every word strikes at the abuses
of our time,
449
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,000
yet it also carries
a desire for reform.
450
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,200
More remarkably,
451
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,920
it is bold without overstepping.
452
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,800
To use women to break the impasse...
453
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:18,680
Such a startling argument
454
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,800
does sound exactly like her.
455
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,760
Huang Bo.
456
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:24,080
Who is this year's Metropolitan Laureate?
457
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,000
Your Majesty,
458
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,920
it is a woman of the An family
from Qingzhou,
459
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,000
named Rulan.
460
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,320
And Meng Tinghui?
461
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:38,880
Where did she place?
462
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,640
Provincial Laureate Meng...
463
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,880
failed.
464
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,880
The realm is vast,
465
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,680
so an abundance of talented scholars
is only natural.
466
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,120
But the brushwork and arguments
467
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,520
are identical.
468
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,320
How could that be coincidence?
469
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:18,080
That fortune from Lingquan Temple
was worthless.
470
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,440
Shazhou's Great Buddha Temple
is far better.
471
00:24:59,120 --> 00:24:59,960
Mengmeng.
472
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,640
I brought your favorite fruit
and apricot-skin cakes.
473
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,400
Why is it so dark?
Why didn't you light a lamp?
474
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,600
Mengmeng?
475
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,000
Mengmeng!
476
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,400
Mengmeng!
477
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,040
What's wrong?
478
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:37,600
Mengmeng!
479
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,080
Get a physician! Quickly!
480
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,960
Shunzi!
481
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,360
Mengmeng!
482
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,760
Mengmeng!
483
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,840
Wake up, Mengmeng!
484
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:24,920
Mengmeng!
485
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,480
You're awake.
486
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,400
How could you be so cruel?
487
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,640
We agreed to return to Shazhou together.
488
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,200
You broke your promise
489
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,160
and tried to take your own life.
490
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,280
The physician said
491
00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:39,040
that if we'd been one step later,
492
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:40,640
not even an immortal could have saved you.
493
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:41,880
You only failed an examination.
494
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,360
How could you be so foolish?
495
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,280
Slowly.
496
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,160
Someone tried to kill me.
497
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,120
Someone tried to kill you?
498
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,000
Who? Did you see them clearly?
499
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,080
It was too dark.
500
00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,680
I couldn't see.
501
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,720
But the person was very strong.
502
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,040
They could have killed me outright,
503
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,480
yet they staged it as a suicide.
504
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,320
They wanted me dead
505
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,040
without prompting an investigation.
506
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,360
Fuzhi,
507
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,920
I must be standing in someone's way.
508
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,200
There must be more to my failed result.
509
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,080
Those damned bastards!
510
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,720
We'll catch them
511
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,760
and hang them from a beam
for three days of beating.
512
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:26,920
But
513
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,680
we've only just arrived in the capital
514
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,160
and haven't offended anyone.
515
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,120
Who would do such a thing?
516
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,520
Once they learn I'm still alive,
517
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,640
they won't let me go.
518
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,520
We should leave first
519
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,440
and think of a plan afterward.
520
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,320
All right. I'll pack our things.
521
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,360
Forget it. Staying alive matters more.
522
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,480
We're leaving now.
523
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,640
-Let's go.
-Careful.
524
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,600
His Majesty attaches great importance
to this women's examination.
525
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:01,000
He was especially moved
by An Rulan's policy essay
526
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,320
and personally named her
Metropolitan Laureate.
527
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,320
He even ordered copies circulated
throughout the provinces
528
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,360
for scholars to study.
529
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:06,840
Look.
530
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,240
This is my favorite passage:
531
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,080
'The loyal and upright remain silent,
532
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,560
while the wicked and flattering
advance by the day.
533
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:12,760
When faults go unseen,
534
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,960
ruin inevitably follows.'
535
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,160
With writing and conviction like this,
536
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,640
no wonder she became
Metropolitan Laureate.
537
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,880
-Exactly.
-Yes, it's brilliantly written.
538
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,040
Mengmeng.
539
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,560
How can a scholar be so rude?
540
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,320
This is my policy essay.
541
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:31,520
You failed the metropolitan exam.
542
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,880
How dare you claim this essay is yours?
543
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,240
Have you lost your mind from disappointment?
544
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,000
-You!
-You tried to hang yourself last night,
545
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,320
and now you're spouting such madness.
546
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,280
You need your head examined.
547
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,200
Miss Meng,
548
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,680
our dynasty strictly forbids
examination fraud.
549
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:42,800
Such a thing couldn't possibly happen.
550
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,680
If Mengmeng says it's hers, then it is.
551
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,160
The claim that she hanged herself
is absurd.
552
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,920
Spread that rumor again
553
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,240
and I'll tear your mouths apart.
554
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:51,720
Mengmeng, let's go.
555
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,480
You...
556
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,920
Mengmeng, I knew you had passed.
557
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,160
That An Rulan
558
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,800
actually stole your policy essay.
559
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,440
Let's report her to the authorities now
560
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:05,680
and reclaim your title
as Metropolitan Laureate.
561
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:08,560
It isn't that simple.
562
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:10,600
These waters
563
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,640
run deeper than either of us imagined.
564
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,040
The Ministry of Rites oversees
the examination.
565
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,520
Without help from officials inside,
566
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,480
how would An Rulan dare steal my essay?
567
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,440
If we report it now,
568
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,200
we may be walking into a trap.
569
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,000
This capital devours people
even more viciously than Shazhou.
570
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,200
You nearly died once already.
571
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,160
I'm scared.
572
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,040
I'm taking you back to Shazhou.
573
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,640
But I did pass.
574
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:36,760
I was the Metropolitan Laureate, Fuzhi.
575
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,920
I can't pretend none of this happened.
576
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,640
I've walked this path for ten years.
577
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,040
I can't simply give it up now.
578
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:47,960
I won't accept that.
579
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,240
Fine.
580
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,280
Then we won't leave.
581
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,320
I'll stay with you.
582
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:55,880
Even if we face mountains of blades
and seas of fire,
583
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,360
I'll face them with you.
584
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,480
But
585
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,800
we know no one in the capital.
586
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:04,720
Young Master He
587
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:05,640
and Lord Shen
588
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,160
are in the capital, aren't they?
589
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,720
Can we ask them for help?
590
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,160
We still know too little.
591
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,760
Seeking them out rashly
may accomplish nothing.
592
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,480
Then what do we do?
593
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,280
They wanted to silence me
594
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,600
without drawing attention.
595
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,280
In that case,
596
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,440
we'll make the whole city talk about it.
597
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:28,760
Then when we report it,
598
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,520
the authorities will think twice
before protecting them.
599
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,240
His Majesty has arrived.
600
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,560
Your servant Zhang Mingshan
welcomes Your Majesty.
601
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,200
Rise, my ministers.
602
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,880
-Thank you, Your Majesty.
-Thank you, Your Majesty.
603
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Minister Zhang,
604
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,440
I cast a divination this morning.
605
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,040
The signs said
606
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,760
among the rejected examination papers
607
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,040
lies a brilliant pearl.
608
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,720
Surely no one was blind enough
609
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,120
to mistake a luminous pearl
for a fish eye and throw it away?
610
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,560
Your Majesty is joking.
611
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,720
We review papers with utmost rigor.
How could we...
612
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,000
I merely made an offhand remark.
613
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,800
Why are you so frightened?
614
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,600
Huang Bo,
615
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,000
does Minister Zhang's reaction
616
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,240
look like
617
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,640
a guilty conscience?
618
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:20,920
It does.
619
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,640
I beg permission to speak frankly.
620
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,200
Rumors have circulated lately
621
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:26,960
that a failed candidate,
622
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:27,920
bitter over her result,
623
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,400
deliberately spread false claims.
624
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,120
I fear someone is deceiving Your Majesty
625
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,760
and disrupting the court's great task
of selecting talent.
626
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,240
Then let us make a wager.
627
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,560
If I find a pearl
628
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,480
among these rejected papers,
629
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,640
may I borrow your head
630
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,960
and use it as a cuju ball?
631
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,960
Your Majesty has countless affairs of state.
632
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,560
We have already removed
633
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,440
the mediocre essays on your behalf.
634
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,160
Why not let me present
635
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,600
the finest essays from those selected?
636
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,400
You may review them over tea.
637
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,920
What are you waiting for?
638
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:04,600
Bring the rejected papers.
639
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:05,520
Yes.
640
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,040
Zheng Ru.
641
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,440
According to this article,
642
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:27,760
the Metropolitan Laureate's essay
was fraudulent.
643
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:28,800
Could the names of other candidates
644
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,320
also have been stolen?
645
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,320
Exactly. As the article says,
646
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,080
every candidate's examination paper
should be made public.
647
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,800
-Shouldn't they?
-Yes!
648
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,920
-Release them!
-Release the papers!
649
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,240
-Release the papers! No more cover-ups!
-Release them!
650
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,240
Release the papers!
651
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,240
What are you doing?
652
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,360
-Don't read that. Hand it over!
-Who are these people?
653
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,640
Why are they acting exactly like
Shazhou's Black Tiger Hall?
654
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,960
They must be the people
who tried to kill me.
655
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,360
They failed last night.
656
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,080
Now that the matter has grown,
657
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:58,920
they won't let me go.
658
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,160
Even in the capital, lawless villains
659
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,760
dare attack openly.
660
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,360
-Seize them!
-They're after me.
661
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:08,960
We'll split up.
662
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,280
Go to the Shen residence and find Lord Shen.
He may be our only hope.
663
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,480
I'll make a public procession
to the Capital Prefecture.
664
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,800
With so many witnesses,
the authorities won't dare show favoritism.
665
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,960
Go!
666
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:22,800
Chancellor.
667
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,080
Chancellor.
668
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:26,680
Someone has written an article
669
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,240
claiming the Metropolitan Laureate's essay
670
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,600
was submitted under a false name.
671
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,840
The whole city is talking about it.
672
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,840
Examination fraud is a matter
for the Ministry of Rites.
673
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,160
The greater the uproar, the better.
674
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,680
We shall watch from the sidelines
675
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:40,800
and enjoy the spectacle.
676
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,360
Meng Tinghui.
677
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,160
Have you investigated her?
678
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:49,920
Left Chancellor,
679
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,760
she is the common woman from Shazhou
680
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,640
who helped His Majesty escape.
681
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,040
She is skilled in underworld tricks
682
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,520
and acts unpredictably.
683
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:58,680
She is impossible to guard against.
684
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,440
Had she not interfered,
685
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,800
I would have brought
His Majesty back long ago.
686
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,760
No wonder His Majesty has behaved
687
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,440
with increasing recklessness
since returning from Shazhou.
688
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,360
So his judgment was bewitched
689
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,680
by such a lowborn temptress.
690
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,760
A mere insect
691
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,000
dares meddle in court affairs.
692
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,720
That woman cannot be allowed to live.
693
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,320
Seen this way,
694
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,440
a little disorder
695
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,600
may not be a bad thing.
696
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:33,840
Meng Tinghui scattered printed copies
of the article
697
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,000
throughout the capital.
698
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,400
Vice Minister Zhang had full authority
699
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,280
over the metropolitan examination,
700
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,440
but it remains the Ministry of Rites'
responsibility.
701
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,560
What if you are implicated?
702
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,640
Why panic? I warned His Majesty long ago
703
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,080
that a women's special examination
704
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,600
was utterly absurd.
705
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,880
Yet His Majesty insisted.
706
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,520
And now
707
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,200
Meng Tinghui has caused
708
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,240
a scandal that makes the realm laugh.
709
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,840
The one who should be worried now
710
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,680
is His Majesty.
711
00:35:03,240 --> 00:35:05,440
I hear His Majesty has already gone
to the examination compound.
712
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:07,880
The sovereign of the realm
713
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,920
left the palace for a temptress.
714
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,520
He is utterly bewitched,
715
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,320
foolish beyond measure.
716
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,040
In that case,
717
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,600
I will ensure this women's examination
718
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,360
cannot continue.
719
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,760
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
720
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:24,760
I deserve death.
721
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,520
I was careless just now
722
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:27,600
and dropped them into a water vat.
723
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,640
I tried with all my strength to save them,
724
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:30,960
but the examination papers...
725
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,080
Were you injured, Minister?
726
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,560
Shall I summon an imperial physician
at once?
727
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:38,240
Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.
728
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,400
I am unharmed.
729
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,200
Since you're unharmed,
730
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:43,920
Vice Minister Zheng, please fetch
731
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,280
the transcribed copies.
732
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:48,400
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
733
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,320
A swarm of rats entered
734
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,240
the compound's side rooms last night.
735
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,160
Those wretched rats devoured
all the copied papers.
736
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,280
Those wretched rats
737
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:02,760
should fall into a water vat and drown.
738
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,680
Your Majesty is joking.
739
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,240
Both ministers
740
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,360
have truly served with devotion
741
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,200
and spared no effort.
742
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,360
Keeping you in the Ministry of Rites
743
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,080
is truly a waste of your talents.
744
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,400
Your Majesty flatters us.
745
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,000
Your Majesty, the examination compound
has long fallen into disrepair.
746
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,720
We urged the Ministry of Revenue
for funds many times,
747
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,160
but the money never came.
748
00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:34,200
That is what caused this disaster.
749
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,640
As Vice Minister of Rites,
750
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:38,120
I accept punishment.
751
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,400
Very well.
752
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,440
We shall do as Minister Zhang suggests.
753
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:42,560
Huang Bo,
754
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,200
what punishment does the law prescribe?
755
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,480
Your Majesty,
756
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,640
destroying special-examination papers
757
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,440
is punishable by thirty strokes each.
758
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,280
Administer them yourself.
759
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:54,160
Beat them here in the courtyard.
760
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:05,920
Young Lady,
761
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,080
I bought the pastries you requested.
762
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,280
Good. Carry the rouge I bought too.
763
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,200
Yes.
764
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,800
After them!
765
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,360
Hurry!
766
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,000
Where did they go?
767
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,640
-Search over there.
-To learn how the young gentleman
768
00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:24,720
solves this baffling case,
769
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,200
come back for the next installment!
770
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,160
-Bravo!
-Bravo!
771
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:34,400
What's wrong?
772
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:35,800
Everyone,
773
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,920
I am Meng Tinghui,
Provincial Laureate of Shazhou.
774
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,000
I came to the capital
for the metropolitan exam and failed,
775
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,480
only to discover that the policy essay
776
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:42,920
of Metropolitan Laureate An Rulan
777
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,160
is identical to mine, word for word.
778
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:46,920
I am going to the Capital Prefecture
779
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,320
and ask the Prefect to uncover the truth.
780
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,800
Anyone interested
781
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,480
may come watch the proceedings.
782
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,360
See which Metropolitan Laureate is genuine,
783
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,120
Meng Tinghui or An Rulan,
784
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,520
and which is the fraud.
785
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:04,720
Should villains attack me,
786
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,120
please lend me your righteous aid
787
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,160
and bind them for the authorities.
788
00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:10,480
You will be richly rewarded.
789
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,920
-We'll come!
-We will!
790
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,040
Boss, there are too many people.
We can't make a move.
791
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:22,960
Send someone to ask Second Master
792
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,080
what to do with this woman.
793
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,000
Who are you?
794
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,200
Miss,
795
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:29,320
we met outside the examination compound.
796
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,000
Aren't you Grand Tutor Shen's daughter,
Lord Shen's younger sister?
797
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,520
You're the third one this month.
798
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,320
Whatever romantic debt my brother owes you,
799
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,880
you may collect it at our residence.
800
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,360
Why do women keep climbing into my carriage?
801
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,640
-Driver!
-Miss Shen.
802
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:42,320
I met Lord Shen in Shazhou.
803
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,160
I came to ask him to uphold justice.
804
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:45,960
Uphold justice?
805
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,200
Where are they?
806
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,200
-You search there.
-Move!
807
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,320
The rest of you, follow me.
808
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,120
How can you prove
809
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,880
that Meng Tinghui wrote the essay?
810
00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:57,920
How do I know you aren't framing someone?
811
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Under the Code of Great Ning,
812
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,280
examination fraud and identity theft
813
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,360
are punishable by exile of three thousand li.
814
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,600
Falsely accusing the Metropolitan Laureate
is also a grave crime.
815
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:07,560
Miss Shen,
816
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:08,480
I stake my life on it.
817
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:09,800
Every word is true.
818
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:10,720
Should I utter a single lie,
819
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:11,920
you may deliver me to the authorities.
820
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:14,520
Stop!
821
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,760
Young Lady, a crowd is blocking the road.
822
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,920
Those people outside are after you.
823
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:25,320
Last night,
824
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,760
someone nearly murdered Meng Tinghui.
825
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:27,840
We lack power and allies,
826
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:28,880
so we could only make the matter public.
827
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,360
Then these men began pursuing us.
828
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,560
Mengmeng's fate is unknown.
829
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,040
Miss Shen, please act honorably
and save her.
830
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:37,960
Someone saw them
831
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,520
climb into this carriage.
832
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:40,480
Everyone inside the carriage,
833
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:41,600
get out!
834
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,000
Don't worry.
835
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,000
Blocking an official family's carriage
836
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,560
earns sixty strokes
and one year of penal servitude.
837
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,560
Being armed increases the sentence.
838
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,000
Withdraw at once.
839
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,080
So you're an official's daughter.
840
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:00,480
Our apologies.
841
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,040
We meant no offense.
842
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,000
We're only looking for a damned girl.
843
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,240
You...
844
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,480
Let's see which blind fool dares.
845
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,240
-A-Nian.
-Captain Di.
846
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:32,920
The Shenwei Guard is patrolling the city.
847
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,840
You have gathered a mob,
848
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,360
and harassed civilians.
849
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:37,760
-Arrest them all!
-Yes!
850
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:39,440
Brothers, retreat!
851
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,040
Stop!
852
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:51,560
Sister Zhili.
853
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,280
-Were you frightened?
-I'm fine.
854
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:56,680
Sister Zhili,
855
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:57,880
let me escort you home.
856
00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,920
Where is His Majesty now?
857
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:08,640
I just...
858
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,120
Did you lose count?
859
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,040
You can't even count properly?
860
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:14,520
Your Majesty, please understand.
861
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,080
I felt sorry for the two ministers
862
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:18,200
and went soft, so I lost count.
863
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,040
Since you can't count,
864
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,240
start the beating again from the beginning.
865
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:24,640
Please don't!
866
00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:27,400
Ten... fifteen.
867
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,320
You remember it very clearly.
868
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,320
It seems the blows still aren't hard enough.
869
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,360
Huang Bo.
870
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:33,920
Continue.
871
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,960
One hundred candidates passed
this metropolitan examination.
872
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,960
Yet Meng Tinghui,
Shazhou's Provincial Laureate,
873
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:43,120
failed.
874
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:44,920
I found that suspicious.
875
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,760
I wasn't certain before,
876
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,840
but now the papers have been destroyed
one after another.
877
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:49,880
Tell me,
878
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,080
is that merely coincidence?
879
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,480
I truly don't know, Your Majesty.
880
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,360
Then find someone who does.
881
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,240
Summon every proctor,
882
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,520
copyist, sealing clerk, and examiner
from this year's examination.
883
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,840
Investigating them will take time.
884
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:05,240
Perhaps
885
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,680
we should give him thirty strokes first.
886
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,160
I'll confess!
887
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,440
I'm willing to confess!
888
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:17,800
The examination was rigged!
889
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,080
There was no fairness!
890
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:20,720
Everyone, come and see!
891
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:22,280
How could such a thing happen?
892
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:23,280
Fraud in the special examination!
893
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,400
There's a spectacle. Let's go!
894
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,280
Scholar Meng Tinghui,
895
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:28,920
Provincial Laureate of Shazhou,
896
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,200
had her policy essay stolen
by An Rulan,
897
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,440
and is going to the Capital Prefecture
to seek justice.
898
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,720
She will expose the truth
of the examination fraud
899
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,920
and restore fairness
to the metropolitan examination.
900
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:40,200
It's Meng Tinghui.
901
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:42,240
Come on. Follow her
to the Capital Prefecture.
902
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,080
Everyone, let's go together!
903
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:45,480
Demand justice!
904
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,040
-Demand justice!
-Demand justice!
905
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:51,600
Scholar Meng Tinghui
906
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,680
accuses Metropolitan Laureate An Rulan
907
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,360
of stealing her policy essay.
908
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:56,640
Prefect, please uphold justice.
909
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,240
The Master said,
910
00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:00,240
'Think thrice before acting.'
911
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,560
Twice is enough.
912
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,840
You spread this article
throughout the capital
913
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,360
and caused an uproar.
914
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:08,800
Do you have evidence?
915
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,240
Prefect, summon An Rulan
916
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:11,680
and let us confront each other in court.
917
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:13,080
Prefect,
918
00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:16,320
she gathered all those people outside.
919
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:20,040
Summon Metropolitan Laureate An.
920
00:43:20,364 --> 00:43:22,364
