Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,360
Yi Sheng and Jin Buhuan
are so disappointing
2
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,320
It's hard for me to accept this
3
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,720
That's why I never mentioned them
4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,560
I knew they were just two losers
5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,640
You are the only one of my relatives who are doing well
6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,600
Don't fail me
7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,080
I'm honored to serve you
8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,400
Your status means everything to me
9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,440
I will never fail you
10
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:47,280
That's why I've thought it through.
I will make you
11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,480
the prime minister even if it's just to make me look good
12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:58,760
Or people will laugh at me for coming from a family of idiots
13
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,080
Madam and my master
have yet to return today
14
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:06,040
Do you have any idea
when they might be back?
15
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,680
I'm not sure. They don't operate on a fixed schedule when they go out
16
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,440
Well… When they return
17
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,120
could you kindly relay to them that
18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,440
Dongfang Shuo urgently needs to discuss something with them?
19
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:19,560
As soon as they return,
I'll pass on the message
20
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,040
I appreciate your help.
I'll take my leave now
21
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,760
Farewell, Lord Dongfang
22
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,280
Madam, what exactly did you say to him?
23
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,440
He keeps coming here every few days
24
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,520
I'm doing this for his own good
25
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,560
I want him to understand that
26
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,160
no one can claim to be the best
27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,880
Only when he grasps this
28
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,040
can he safeguard his own life in the future
29
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,360
I was right, he did enter this forest
30
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,640
Where's my donkey?
31
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Where's my donkey?
32
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,760
Dongfang Shuo?
33
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,920
Where's my donkey?
34
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Come over
35
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Come in
36
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,960
I'm calling you! Didn't you hear me?
37
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Come here! Kneel
38
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,000
Where have you been all day?
39
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,440
I was tagging along with Dongfang Shuo!
40
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,840
Why are you following him?
41
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:29,800
This time
42
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,400
I will catch him red-handed
when he's cheating
43
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:35,800
Qiu Hu
44
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:37,840
you're the one who did
something so shameful
45
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,280
And now you want to drag others down with you, don't you?
46
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,600
- Today, I'll…
- Alright, dear, listen to me
47
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:45,720
Dear, hear me out
48
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,840
Last time, I saw it clearly that
49
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,800
he went in with a woman
50
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,880
Dear, I'm innocent
51
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,000
Who knows if you're innocent or not?
52
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,440
I don't understand
53
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,760
Why are you always at odds with him?
54
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,000
Dear, you have no idea
55
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,040
I followed him before
56
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,640
because I was afraid he would do something to wrong my sister
57
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,560
Now, I have to follow him even more
58
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,120
- as I want to clear my name.
- How dare you!
59
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,280
It's all true that you drank with other women and visited brothels!
60
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:22,760
I was framed!
61
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,200
- You're talking back, aren't you? I'll beat you to death! - Help!
62
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,160
Enough
63
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,640
Sis, help me! Help me!
I did it all for you
64
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,360
Brother, if you're not at ease
with Dongfang Shuo
65
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,640
why don't you become his attendant?
66
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,880
You follow him wherever he goes
67
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,200
This way, you can monitor him openly
68
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,080
and also help him with some physical work
69
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,360
Don't tail him sneakily anymore!
70
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,120
Then, from now on, I'll openly follow him!
71
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:56,480
Get up
72
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:01,600
Get up
73
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,200
I… Dear, sis, here's the deal
74
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,360
I lost the donkey I rented
75
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,320
Get up. Your brother-in-law already brought the donkey back home
76
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,440
Really?
77
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:23,640
Mum, what official position did Uncle Emperor appoint Dad to?
78
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,040
Appoint your ass!
79
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,880
How did you learn these bad morals at such a young age?
80
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,720
You're only thinking of becoming an official
81
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,920
Aren't you afraid you won't be able to walk on those feet?
82
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,440
Your Granduncle speaks wisely
83
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,000
Being an official is no better than education, let alone butchering
84
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,520
You better learn from me how to slaughter pigs properly
85
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,080
so that you'll have plenty of pig intestines and haslet to eat
86
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,240
Dad, Uncle, you guys are really rustic!
87
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,920
Do you even realize how good it is
to be an official?
88
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,000
Once you're an official, you can go to the brothel without paying
89
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,520
You can go to the tavern and drink with women on credit
90
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,440
You can take other people's things without anyone stopping you
91
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,480
You little rascal!
Do you want to be a bandit?
92
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,160
Bandit is nothing compared to an official
93
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,440
Even bandits are afraid of officials. Comparing the two
94
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,320
being an official is way better!
95
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,840
- I'll beat you, you bureaucratic junkie!
- Enough, hold still
96
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,400
You don't want to be officials, right? Fine, I'll be one
97
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,680
I'm going to find Grandma
and Uncle right now
98
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720
This little bastard!
99
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,120
Grandma!
100
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,080
- Jin Wuzi, here you are! - Let me help
101
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,040
Granduncle, are you here
to see Grandma, too?
102
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,400
What are you doing here, kid?
103
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,920
- I come to ask Grandma to get me an official position. - Nonsense!
104
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,200
You little kid
105
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,040
Do you think an official position is like a piece of candy
106
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,480
that you can take easily?
107
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,920
I am not a kid anymore.
I'm turning eighteen soon!
108
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,360
I want Grandma and Uncle to get me an official position!
109
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,280
Jin Wuzi, don't trouble your Grandma
110
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,680
I will take you to the West Market
to have some fun
111
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,760
- Jin Wuzi, do you genuinely aspire to be an official? - Absolutely!
112
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,200
Then, you don't need to bother your Grandma. I can get you appointed
113
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,480
- Really? - How would I lie to you?
114
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,680
Granduncle, then please
appoint me quickly!
115
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,240
Sure, however
116
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,840
you'll need to do
a few things for me first
117
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,520
I want to see if you're suitable for an official position
118
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,600
No problem, Granduncle
119
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,680
I'll handle anything you want me to do
120
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,080
As New Year's Day approaches,
the Empress Dowager
121
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,160
has been pressuring me regarding the Prime Minister's appointment
122
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,320
It's still some time before New Year's Day
123
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,680
- Your Majesty, no need to be so anxious. - How can I not be anxious?
124
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:09,640
The Empress Dowager has urged that if I can't finalize the appointment
125
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:11,600
she'll personally announce it
126
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,880
Once she intervenes, I'll be in a disadvantageous position
127
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:19,720
Your Majesty, in my view
128
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,760
the Empress Dowager won't want to
129
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,640
clash with you until necessary
130
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,440
I still believe that
131
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,800
things will eventually sort themselves out
132
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,560
A'hui, I'll see Dong Zhongshu without you
133
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,400
Mind your step
134
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:17,880
Can you stop doing this?
135
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,560
I'm just strolling on the street
136
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,440
Why do you keep following me?
137
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,280
Stop!
138
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,880
Stop right there! Stop!
139
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,080
Get out of the way! You want to die?
140
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,520
Beautiful girl, like a flower
141
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,320
How dare you stop His Lordship's carriage? Don't you want to die?
142
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,400
- How dare you push me? - So what?
143
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000
- Dare you push me one more time?
- I surely dare to!
144
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:00,960
You scoundrel,
stop pretending to be dead!
145
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,480
- I'll kick… - Stop. - My Lord?
146
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,520
- Turn the carriage around.
Let's go back. - Don't leave!
147
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,600
- My Lord, this brat, he is… - Go back
148
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,480
Gongsun Hong,
if you have the guts, come back!
149
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,440
Gong Sunhong, you coward
150
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,080
Come on, run over me! I'm not afraid!
151
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,160
I am following you and monitoring you
152
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,160
so that you can't cheat
with another woman
153
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:38,240
Yeah, my sis asked me to do so
154
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:45,640
Wherever you go, I'll follow
155
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:52,200
Gongsun Hong, you old bastard!
Come back!
156
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,160
Gongsun Hong, you bastard!
157
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,320
If you have guts, confront me!
158
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,200
I'm waiting for you right here!
159
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:10,880
Jin Wuzi?
160
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,160
- Uncle Dongfang. -What's going on?
161
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:21,080
Come on. Move away. There's nothing worth seeing. Step back
162
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:23,520
Wake up
163
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,840
Kid! Stand up straight!
164
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,720
Stop drinking!
165
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,000
Jin Wuzi, causing a scene
like this on the street
166
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,200
will bring shame to your noble family
167
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:40,960
Do you understand?
168
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,760
If your Granduncle knows
169
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,360
- he'll give you a good spanking!
- That won't happen
170
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,160
My Granduncle told me to pick on him
171
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,440
He said once he becomes
the Prime Minister
172
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,680
he'll appoint me to be a high-ranking official right away
173
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:04,240
Do you think others will fear you just because of what you did?
174
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,160
Today, I'm just giving him a heads-up
175
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,640
If he still doesn't get sensible, I'll give him a good stab!
176
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,040
No more nonsense. Murderers will face the death sentence
177
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,840
That's for others
178
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,520
I'm the Emperor's nephew. Who dares to sentence me to death?
179
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,800
Jin Wuzi, you reckless kid!
180
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,720
Dongfang Shuo, you can't ditch me!
181
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,280
No way!
182
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,320
My Lord, something's wrong! A'hui died!
183
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,040
What? Died?
184
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,600
A'hui, I'll see Dong Zhongshu without you
185
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,520
How did A'hui die?
186
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,800
I don't know.
But judging by Ahui's condition
187
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,240
it might have consumed
something poisonous
188
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,080
My Lord, the stable is ablaze!
189
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:28,760
Lord Gongsun?
190
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,040
Greetings, Lord Dongfang
191
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,320
Are you suffering from a minor illness?
192
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,360
- Not at all. - That's not right
193
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,800
I've observed your complexion
these past few days
194
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,600
and something must have gone wrong
195
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:52,880
- Lord Dongfang, you're not playing a trick on me, are you? - No
196
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,680
You're seriously ill, in a critical condition
197
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,960
but you seem unaware
198
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,720
That fire last night is like a fever, and it's just the beginning
199
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,760
If you don't address it promptly
200
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,120
I'm genuinely concerned for you
201
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,000
Your life may be at stake
202
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,280
What should I do then?
203
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,240
In military strategy, there's a tactic
204
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,880
you could retreat in order to advance
205
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,440
- Thank you for your guidance.
- You're welcome
206
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,880
- Begin the court! - Let's go
207
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,960
Lord Gongsun, what's your proposal?
208
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,680
I've received immense favors
from Your Majesty
209
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,240
and should wholeheartedly
share Your Majesty's burden
210
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,720
but I've been ill, experiencing shortness of breath and chest pain
211
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,560
Many tasks have become
beyond my capacity
212
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,680
which I fear may jeopardize the affairs of state and Your Majesty
213
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,280
I beseech permission
214
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,320
to take some time to recover at home
215
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,520
Once I'm restored, I'll serve Your Majesty with devotion again
216
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,320
Very well, if you're truly unwell, then go home and recuperate
217
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:25,840
Your Majesty
218
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:31,960
Lord Wang Xiu has been meticulous and competent in his duties
219
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,040
He's diligent, willing, and dedicated
220
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,360
I recommend Lord Wang for the position of Prime Minister
221
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:45,360
If Your Majesty agrees, it would be a great fortune for the Great Han
222
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,040
Gongsun Hong, I said you could go home to rest if you're sick
223
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,480
Why are you making such a speech
224
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,520
in the court?
225
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,760
I am deeply sorry
226
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,560
Your Majesty, please calm down. Lord Gongsun is indeed unwell
227
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,240
The words he spoke just now
228
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,400
displayed signs of his illness
229
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,440
Recently, I've also noticed
230
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,720
this pattern of behavior
from Lord Gongsun
231
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,120
When it's appropriate for him to speak
232
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,280
he always remains silent
233
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,160
When he's not supposed to speak
234
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,000
he becomes verbose and garrulous
235
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,920
If this condition isn't addressed promptly
236
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,880
it may lead to a disoriented state of mind
237
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,280
Gongsun Hong, go home immediately
238
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,480
- Recover, and then we can discuss further.
- Thanks, Your Majesty
239
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,960
Greetings, Mother
240
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,440
Your Majesty, I heard that
241
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,840
in the court, Gongsun Hong has voluntarily asked for leave
242
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,960
and strongly recommended your uncle to be the Prime Minister
243
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,720
Now, you should acknowledge that
244
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,160
I haven't recommended you
the wrong person
245
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,960
However, I think
246
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,560
we should discuss the matter of the Prime Minister after the New Year
247
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,680
Son, why do you always hesitate about
248
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,360
your Uncle entering the cabinet?
249
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:22,160
Even now, you still don't believe in your uncle's capabilities
250
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,680
That's not what I mean
251
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,720
Mother, truly, that's not what I mean!
252
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,800
Then what do you mean?
Speak up, let me hear
253
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,600
I'm worried
254
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,880
Worried about what? Tell me
255
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,600
I'm worried that the ministers will object
256
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,200
Which ministers?
I'd like to go and ask them myself
257
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:56,840
Ming Fei, Gan Fu, Wang Hong
258
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,200
Guan Zhiyong, and also Hu Chengyi
259
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:02,680
well, quite a few!
260
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,720
Very well, tomorrow, I will accompany you to the court
261
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,480
and personally hear their opinions
262
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,320
Madam and my master
came back three days ago
263
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,840
- but… but they left again yesterday.
- Left again?
264
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,400
Where could they have gone this time?
265
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,400
I don't know, they still didn't tell
266
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,160
Didn't you tell her that
I've looked for her twice?
267
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,360
I really have an urgent matter
to discuss with her!
268
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:31,400
Madam said, for you, the most talented man in the world
269
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,640
no obstacle can't be overcome
270
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,760
Luo Qi, Luo Qi,
you're being too cruel to me!
271
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,600
By the way, before she left,
Madam left a message
272
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,400
What did she say?
273
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,840
She said, when you come again,
I should convey that
274
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,360
if you haven't figured out that matter yet
275
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,760
you should immediately consult Sima Qian
276
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,160
Consult Sima Qian?
277
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:01,200
Your Majesty
278
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:02,880
Has Dongfang Shuo arrived?
279
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:05,960
Your Majesty, Dongfang Shuo hasn't… hasn't been found
280
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:07,680
Where could he have gone?
281
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,640
His families said they didn't know
282
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,720
He must not have gone far. Send out more people to find him
283
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,240
Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find him
284
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:19,440
Understood
285
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,480
Why do you close the door when you see me? Please open the door!
286
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,360
Open the door!
287
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,240
Open the door!
288
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,360
Bastard!
289
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,880
Useless servants, you can't even find a living person
290
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,640
I am sorry for being useless
291
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,000
Dongfang Shuo, where did you go?
292
00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:22,040
Luo Qi, Miss Luo,
is this how you care about me?
293
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,960
Ministers, as the New Year approaches
294
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,240
His Majesty has decided
to change the reign title
295
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,880
So it's time to finalize the personnel arrangements in court
296
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Prior to the morning court, let's discuss
297
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,440
the selection of the Prime Minister
in Xuan Hall
298
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,960
so that His Majesty can make the announcement during the court
299
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,240
Mother, maybe we should wait. Dongfang Shuo hasn't arrived yet
300
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,280
No need to wait.
Let's proceed with the discussion
301
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,800
- Yang Deyi. - At your service
302
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,160
Wait outside. When Dongfang Shuo arrives, bring him in immediately
303
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,160
Understood
304
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,960
Has Minister Dongfang arrived?
305
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,840
Three out of the six ministers have agreed to appoint Wang Xiu
306
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,120
We have passed the halfway mark and can make the decision
307
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,200
Mother, however, three other ministers support Gongsun Hong
308
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,400
- But I also count as one minister. Is that not sufficient? - No
309
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:54,640
Actually, Mother is not a minister and cannot be considered as one
310
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,200
- Servants. - At your service
311
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,480
- Lead the way to the Weiyang Palace.
- Understood
312
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,000
Halt!
313
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:07,400
Your Majesty!
314
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,000
Your Majesty, Your Highness, Dongfang Shuo has arrived
315
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,200
Hurry, summon him in
316
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,040
Dongfang Shuo, please present yourself before His Majesty
317
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,920
Greetings, Your Majesty
and Your Highness
318
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,960
Dongfang Shuo,
where have you been hiding?
319
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,960
I am deeply sorry
320
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,160
I shouldn't be late
321
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,040
Enough, we'll discuss this matter later
322
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,840
Dongfang Shuo, His Majesty is choosing the Prime Minister
323
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,200
Please promptly share the idea you discussed with me earlier
324
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,280
Dongfang Shuo, currently, Guan Fu,
Ming Fei, and Sima Xiangru
325
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,000
endorse Gongsun Hong
326
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:58,600
while Li Cai, Zhao Yu,
and Yan An endorse Wang Xiu
327
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,680
We are now waiting for your opinion
328
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,560
Your Majesty, Empress Dowager,
does this mean
329
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,560
my opinion will be the deciding factor?
330
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,560
Exactly, your opinion
will hold the most weight
331
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,320
Dongfang Shuo,
since your words hold such weight
332
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,480
you must think carefully before speaking
333
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:36,600
Your Highness, Your Majesty, for the position of Prime Minister
334
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:38,720
Lord Wang
335
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,240
might be suitable
336
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,600
Very well, Your Majesty, please issue a decree in the Weiyang Palace
337
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,360
Wait a moment.
I haven't finished speaking yet
338
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,080
Then go on. Why do you keep sneezing?
339
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,880
Your Highness, I caught a cold last night
340
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,520
I'm sorry, another sneeze is coming
341
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,640
Why are you all staring at me?
342
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,000
- If you're not sneezing, keep talking.
- Your Highness
343
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:27,760
I just said Lord Wang might be suitable, not that he is suitable
344
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,120
How so?
345
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:34,200
The ancestral tradition was established during the beginning of Han
346
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,760
Anyone appointed as Prime Minister must first be ennobled
347
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,280
That's wahy I said Minister Wang
might be suitable
348
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,600
as he will certainly be granted a noble title in the future
349
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,120
Once he is entitled, he'll be eligible to become Prime Minister
350
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:49,400
What kind of ancestral tradition is this?
351
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:52,360
How come I've never heard of it?
352
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,120
Dongfang Shuo, you're not
deceiving me, are you?
353
00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:01,200
Your Highness,
would I dare to deceive you?
354
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,200
If Your Highness still has doubts
355
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,720
you can summon Sima Qian, the official historian, and ask him
356
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:08,960
Quickly summon Sima Qian
357
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,080
Sima Qian, please present yourself before His Majesty
358
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,480
Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Highness
359
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,360
Sima Qian, let me ask you,
has our dynasty ever
360
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,440
regulated that one must hold a noble title to become a Prime Minister?
361
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,720
Your Highness,
according to all historical records
362
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,480
this tradition has been in place since the time of Emperor Gaozu
363
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,240
All the Prime Ministers were ennobled before assuming their positions
364
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,000
Since such an ancestral tradition exists
365
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,600
I shall certainly adhere to it. Strictly adhere to it
366
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:50,400
Good, Your Majesty, please confer the title of Marquis upon Wang Xiu
367
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,840
- Your Highness, this is not advisable!
- Why?
368
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,040
Anyone without significant military accomplishments cannot be entitled
369
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,080
Is this also part of the ancestral tradition?
370
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,680
It is indeed, and it is documented in historical records
371
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,240
For example, Dou Wangsun quelled the rebellion of the Seven States
372
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:15,240
and was entitled the Marquis of Anping before being the Prime Minister
373
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,160
Wang Xiu's diligent handling
of the mourning affairs
374
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,640
for the Grand Empress Dowager can be considered a merit, right?
375
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,360
Mother, while his efforts in the mourning affairs are commendable
376
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,960
they do not qualify as significant feats required for the entitlement
377
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:36,240
Nonsense! Wang Xiu can be entitled as the Marquis of Wuan for that!
378
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,360
- Mother, I don't think so.
- Your Majesty!
379
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:44,360
Only those who with military merits are eligible for ennoblement
380
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,160
Lord Wang has only achieved political merits, not military ones
381
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,640
Is this also part of the ancestral tradition?
382
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,520
It is, Your Highness
383
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:55,480
I won't believe it. I will confer the title of Marquis upon Wang Xiu
384
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,160
Your Highness, Sima Qian, the official historian, is here
385
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,040
He will undoubtedly record
in historical annals that
386
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,840
in the sixth year of Jianyuan
387
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,680
the Empress Dowager forcefully appointed her brother as Prime Minister
388
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,160
which marked a departure from the established traditions of the Han
389
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,040
Sima Qian, do you truly intend to record it this way?
390
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,600
As an official historian, it is my duty to record facts faithfully
391
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:23,240
Sima family has been known for stubbornness for three generations
392
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,280
Even the late Emperor couldn't do anything about them
393
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,240
Dongfang Shuo, I finally
see your true color now!
394
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,240
Your Highness, please don't be angry
395
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:33,920
In my view
396
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,720
there are signs of the Xiongnu mobilizing troops again near our border
397
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,040
Why not, at this opportune moment
398
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,240
let Lord Wang lead the army
to defeat the Xiongnu?
399
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,960
He can achieve military merits,
secure a noble title
400
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,360
and later become
the Prime Minister rightfully
401
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,600
What do you say, Mother?
402
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,520
- After the morning court, let Wang Xiu meet with me. - Understood
403
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,080
Farewell, Your Highness
404
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,720
After all these years, hardly anyone speaks for you in the court
405
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,720
Where has your influence gone?
406
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,040
Now, I even have to step up
and defend for you!
407
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,920
I am sorry for my uselessness
408
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,480
His Majesty deems you useless, and it seems he's right
409
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,240
Stand up, don't disgrace me
410
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,440
This isn't about you anymore
411
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,240
It's about my own dignity
412
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,480
I'll give you one more chance, the last one
413
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,160
I heard His Majesty plans to mobilize troops against the Xiongnu
414
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,720
If you have the least courage,
take on this task
415
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:06,120
achieve a great feat, and I guarantee you'll be ennobled and appointed
416
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,320
I… I never even considered leading troops into battle!
417
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,000
Your Majesty, this is
the only way I can think of
418
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,120
I can't just stand by and watch
419
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,120
you and Her Highness
fight on the spot, can I?
420
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,040
Your method can only
offer temporary relief
421
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,360
As long as Wang Xiu leads troops out for a casual battle
422
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,840
Mother will have him ennobled and become a Prime Minister
423
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,280
My goal of abolishing the misrule of Empress Dowager's relatives
424
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,400
still seems unattainable
425
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,920
Your Majesty, rest assured
426
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,840
Wang Xiu is as timid as a mouse. He wouldn't dare to ride a horse
427
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,880
let alone go into battle
428
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,320
But he can always ride a sedan
to the front lines
429
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,480
Your Majesty, things will eventually sort themselves out
430
00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:59,880
You're a man!
431
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,480
It's a shame to wet your pants at the mention of a battle!
432
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,240
Sister, I am not a coward
433
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,760
But when I was young, I only rode a donkey at most once or twice
434
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,480
Later, thanks to your blessings, I became an official
435
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,520
and rode in carriages and sedans. I don't know how to ride a horse
436
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,000
How can I lead troops into a battle?
437
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,520
That's… that's like sending me to die
438
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,640
If you don't know
how to ride a horse, learn!
439
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,200
If you can ride a donkey, you can, of course, ride a horse
440
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,280
As for how to fight the battle
441
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,960
your subordinates will
take care of it for you
442
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,040
You won't have to
go into the fray personally
443
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,960
Your Highness is always the smartest, and I'll do as you told, Sister
444
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,040
Greetings, Your Highness
445
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,920
Dongfang Shuo,
you do know how to handle things
446
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,120
Thanks, Your Highness.
I feel extremely flattered
447
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,080
You think I'm praising you?
448
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,120
Your Highness, are you blaming me?
449
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,560
Let me ask you
450
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,160
did you promise to recommend Wang Xiu as Prime Minister?
451
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,080
Yes, I certainly won't forget
452
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,960
But Wang Xiu didn't become one
453
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Didn't I say it before?
454
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:30,320
You did?
455
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,880
First, let Lord Wang Xiu lead the troops and achieve a great feat
456
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,760
Then, he can rightfully be ennobled and appointed Prime Minister
457
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,120
This is not only for Lord Wang Xiu
458
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,040
but also for Your Highness, who strongly recommended him
459
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,400
We absolutely cannot let His Majesty
460
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,200
catch Your Highness
violating ancestral traditions
461
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,120
I was just kidding
462
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,960
However, Dongfang Shuo
463
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:02,200
you're even more shrewd than a monkey!
464
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Your Highness, His Majesty once said that
465
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,800
if I cover myself in fur like a monkey, no one will be smarter than me
466
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,640
Dongfang Shuo, I have a task for you
467
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,520
Within one month, you must teach Wang Xiu how to ride a horse
468
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,920
Your Highness, teaching horseback riding is not my expertise
469
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,160
I don't care. Regardless of how you do it
470
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,800
- you must accomplish this within a month!
- Well
471
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,000
I guess I'll have to
set my teeth and accept it
472
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,520
Don't pretend to be all distressed
473
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,400
Everyone knows that
nothing can stump you
474
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,360
Rest assured, as long as you successfully teach him to ride
475
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,200
I'll let you join him
to go out to the battle
476
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,160
achieve military merit, and be ennobled
477
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,880
That's wonderful! Thanks, Your Highness
478
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,240
But
479
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,160
what if I fail to teach Lord Wang Xiu?
480
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,480
Then you'll never
make a rise again in your life
481
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:19,280
Very good
482
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,240
Tighten your feet, come on.
Go, hit the horse's butt
483
00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:25,040
Hit
484
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,760
I told you to hit the horse's butt,
did you hear me?
485
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,760
Good, excellent! Spin, keep hitting
486
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,520
You two move away,
then he'll be able to ride
487
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,960
Give it a smack!
Come on, Lord Wang, smack its butt
488
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,160
How does it feel, Lord Wang?
489
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,720
- Feels great. - Not bad, right?
- Not bad, it's great
490
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:00,280
Clench your legs and ride faster
491
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,360
Well done!
492
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,720
You are really devoted in teaching him how to ride a horse!
493
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,600
It's my duty. I should do my best
494
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,440
Give you an inch,
and you try to take an ell, huh?
495
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,560
Your Majesty, please don't be mad at me. You don't know
496
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:44,240
these days, Her Highness and Lord Wang
497
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,120
frequently reward me with good things
498
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,640
If I don't do my best
499
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,640
how can I justify
all the good food and drinks?
500
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,760
They can reward you,
and I can punish you
501
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,520
I can deduct
502
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,040
double the amount from your salary
503
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,080
Don't, Your Majesty, please don't do this
504
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,920
Wang Xiu hasn't led the troops yet
505
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:12,600
If he really leads the troops, it will be too late for everything
506
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,640
It will be in time. I promise it will be
507
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,360
Anyway, when the time comes,
if you can't stop him
508
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,560
I'll deduct your salary
for two or three years!
509
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,760
- Your Highness, Lord Wang Geng
is here. - Bring him in
510
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,880
Wang Geng, please present yourself before Her Highness
511
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,320
Greetings, Your Highness
512
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,400
Please rise
513
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,760
I heard that you have a brilliant plan for defeating the Xiongnu
514
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,320
so I summoned Lord Wang here
515
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,800
to listen together
516
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:58,480
Understood
517
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,880
A few years ago, I was stationed in Mayi on the northern border
518
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,920
and I had deep connections with a merchant from Luoyang named Ni Lv
519
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,320
Ni Lv?
520
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,640
Brother Dongfang, why don't you tell me
521
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,920
where did this Miss Luo go?
522
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,360
As for that matter, it's better if you don't know about it
523
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,880
Why don't you tell me why General Wang Geng summoned you to Chang'an
524
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,320
General Wang ordered me
to return to Chang'an
525
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,880
because the Empress Dowager wants to fight the Xiongnu
526
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:41,160
By the way
527
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,280
I helped His Majesty
against the Xiongnu last time
528
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,640
yet I haven't received any rewards
529
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,720
You can't blame His Majesty for that. Blame yourself!
530
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,920
You came all this way just for an audience
531
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,480
and then you disappeared again
532
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,240
I had to return to the Xiongnu for business!
533
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,520
- I was too busy making money to think about anything else. - Right
534
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,440
This time, I came back to Chang'an specifically for Miss Luo
535
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,160
Miss Luo promised me that
536
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,920
she would become my concubine
537
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,240
That's not possible
538
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,120
How so?
539
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,000
Is Miss Luo really that untrustworthy?
540
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,440
I told you
541
00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:24,760
it's better if you don't know about it. She got married
542
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:27,160
Got married?
543
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,480
Well, I don't care. I'm going to confront her and ask why
544
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,280
Brother Ni, it's not wise for you to barge into her husband's house
545
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,440
Who is he? How can he be
so overbearing in Chang'an?
546
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:43,680
Have you never heard of him?
547
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:49,160
Jing Kui, the man who can go wherever he wants and fight thousands
548
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:51,480
Luo Qi is married to him
549
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,920
Brother Ni, aren't you doing well now?
550
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,880
You come and go as you please, like a bird in the sky
551
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,600
I'm almost jealous!
552
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,560
Alright, don't dwell on this matter
553
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,240
Let's talk about
554
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,720
why General Wang Geng
summoned you to Chang'an
555
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:09,560
Maybe after I hear it
556
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,760
I can go to His Majesty and speak a few good words for you
557
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,680
and you might get more rewards
558
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,840
I wouldn't go to Weiyang Palace at will
559
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:31,640
but I can occasionally visit Xuan Hall
560
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:37,360
Since you are reporting important state affairs to the Emperor
561
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:42,240
go ahead, I feel like listening, too. It's good to broaden my horizons
562
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,840
Your Majesty, I received a report from General Li Guang at the border
563
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,960
The Xiongnu are mobilizing
their troops extensively
564
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,960
and they may have noticed our intentions against them
565
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,640
What wise strategies do you have?
566
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,560
Didn't Your Majesty already want to
567
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,280
engage the Xiongnu in battle?
568
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,560
Moreover, this time,
we have the initiative
569
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,960
Your Majesty can command a capable general to lead 200 thousand troops
570
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,080
to crush the Xiongnu
and avenge our nation
571
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,000
Which one of you is willing to lead?
572
00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:25,480
Your Majesty, I am willing
573
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:28,800
Are you capable?
574
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,680
I will defeat the enemy
below the Helan Mountains
575
00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:34,720
and present the head
of the Chanyu to Your Majesty
576
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:41,520
Do the rest of you have any opinion about Wang Xiu leading the troops?
577
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,520
Your Majesty, I have a suggestion
578
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,360
Go ahead, Ming Fei44155
