Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,240
Which one of you would like to lead the troops?
2
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,000
Your Majesty, I am willing
3
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,280
Are you capable?
4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,040
I will defeat the enemy below the Helan Mountains
5
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,240
and present the head of the Chanyu to Your Majesty
6
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,560
Do the rest of you have any opinion
7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:33,720
about Wang Xiu leading the troops?
8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,800
Your Majesty, I have a suggestion
9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:37,840
Go ahead, Ming Fei
10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,120
Duke Wang has never
done any military jobs
11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,920
He can't lead an army to fight at all!
12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,880
I'd like to recommend Wei Qing
to be the general
13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,000
and lead the troops into battle
14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,720
Mr. Ming
15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,800
you said that I never led
an army into battle
16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,920
so I couldn't take this assignment
17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,160
But did Wei Qing fight in a war before?
18
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,800
Wei Qing is well-versed in the art of war and formation
19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,680
Mr. Wang, how many military books have you read?
20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,440
During the Warring States period, Zhao Kuo from the State of Zhao
21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,040
knew the art of war by heart
22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,240
But he lost 400,000 men in the Battle of Changping
23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,520
Mr. Ming, can you say Zhao Kuo
was good at war?
24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,520
Your Majesty, please let me lead the army to defend against the enemy
25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,400
What Gan Fu said
is to my liking. I decide…
26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,640
Hold on! Your Majesty, you promised
27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,880
to let Wang Xiu lead the army into battle
28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,440
I did say that
29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,960
But the Xiongnu are way mightier than ordinary rebels
30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,560
Their cavalry is extraordinarily ferocious
31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,720
No one's a match for them except a battle-hardened general
32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,400
Your Majesty, you can
let Gan Fu, Wei Qing
33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,920
and Wang Geng assist Wang Xiu
34
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,080
as a perfect guarantee
35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,560
Dongfang Shuo,
do you have anything to say?
36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,400
Your Majesty
37
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,400
in my opinion
38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,840
Duke Wang can be a talented general as he's both brainy and brawny
39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,600
You…
40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,040
Your Majesty
41
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,160
even Dongfang Shuo said your uncle could be a talented general
42
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,400
Why are you still hesitating?
43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,600
However…
44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,240
What else? Just out with it
45
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Your Majesty, this is a weighty case
46
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,920
Mr. Wang has to write a military pledge
47
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:28,080
Well…
48
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,520
Mr. Wang
49
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,920
Do you have the guts to make this military pledge or not?
50
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,120
- Wait… - Wang Xiu
51
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,800
Your Majesty, I will write it
52
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,600
You didn't stop Wang Xiu from leading the army
53
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,480
Instead, you even asked him to make a military pledge. Why did you do that?
54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,080
Your Majesty, do you know why
55
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,320
Wang Xiu had the nerve to make this military pledge?
56
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,000
Why?
57
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,720
Because he believed his victory was a sure thing
58
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:07,920
What do you mean?
59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,920
Your Majesty, do you remember
60
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:10,840
a few years ago
61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,080
I asked Wei Qing and a merchant to spread rumors in the Xiongnu?
62
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,040
Yes, I remember that merchant's name is Ni Lv
63
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,240
This time
64
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,840
the Empress Dowager also sent Ni Lv to the Xiongnu
65
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,600
who utilized Chanyu's trust in him
66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,440
to lead the Xiongnu troops into our Han army's encirclement
67
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,120
That's good news!
68
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,160
In this case, we can surely wipe out the Xiongnu troops in one fell swoop
69
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,160
and have them pay for our stigmas!
70
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:44,520
So
71
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Her Highness wants Duke Wang
to take the credit!
72
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:53,680
So
73
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,720
I can't stop Wang Xiu from being given the high position and title?
74
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,240
I can never remove
75
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,000
the evil convention, the political interference of the consort kin?
76
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,320
Well, please rest assured, Your Majesty
77
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,240
Wang Xiu can't go to the front this time
78
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,880
Pardon?
79
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,640
I do have a plan. However…
80
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,120
There you go again! Just cut to the chase!
81
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,200
However, my plan is a bit impertinent
82
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,200
I learned this odd trick
83
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,520
when I was busking on the streets
84
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080
Whatever! Just tell me if it can work
85
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,560
- I promise it will work. - Good!
86
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,480
I've just been waiting for your agreement!
87
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,400
But there's one thing. Do not let Zhang Tang get you
88
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,120
Understood
89
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,480
Your Highness, you let me make a military pledge
90
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,440
Well, if anything goes wrong
91
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,000
I will have no way out!
92
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,080
- You coward! - I…
93
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,280
I won't leave you alone
94
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,440
I want Dongfang Shuo and Wei Qing to go with you on the expedition
95
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,560
But the two of them are on close terms with His Majesty
96
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,160
What if…
97
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,480
What if they disobey my order?
98
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,600
You are the general
99
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,240
If they disobey you, just have them court-martialed
100
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,440
- But, um… - But what?
101
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,240
I'm making this arrangement. Do you still not understand?
102
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,280
Your Highness, please forgive my stupidity
103
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,600
When you get to the border
104
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,680
let Dongfang Shuo work out plans, and let Wei Qing fight the battle
105
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,120
If we win, you'll take the credit
106
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,840
and it'll be natural for you to be appointed Prime Minister
107
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,160
If we lose, hold them accountable for that
108
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,080
I see
109
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:08,240
Wei Qing is His Majesty's brother-in-law
110
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,320
Dongfang Shuo is
His Majesty's trusted sidekick
111
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,320
His Majesty won't punish them
112
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,000
Since he won't punish them
113
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,840
he also can't punish you alone!
114
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,560
You are so wise, Your Highness
115
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,840
Besides, we have Ni Lv as the spy
116
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,480
Victory is assured
117
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,920
Why are you afraid of this sure thing?
118
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,280
Thank you, Your Highness
119
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,360
You may leave. I have a few words for Dongfang Shuo
120
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,840
Call Dongfang Shuo in
121
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,640
Greetings, Your Majesty
122
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,040
The Empress Dowager summoned you to the harem palace. What did she say?
123
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,560
Her Highness ordered me to go on the expedition with Duke Wang
124
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,640
Did you agree?
125
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,520
- I didn't... have any other choice.
- Nonsense!
126
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,400
Did you reach a private agreement
127
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,800
with the Empress Dowager again?
128
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,840
I swear to God, I didn't
129
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,200
You're still lying to me
130
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,560
Firstly, you taught Wang Xiu to ride
131
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,760
Now, the Empress Dowager wants you to follow Wang Xiu on the expedition
132
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,240
The Empress Dowager was the one who arranged all these things
133
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,720
I didn't intend to do any of them
134
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,080
But you didn't say no!
135
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:37,480
Your Majesty, I have only one life to lose. I dare not refuse
136
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:40,800
Dongfang Shuo
137
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,760
I don't want to play games with the Empress Dowager anymore
138
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,880
I want to announce in the imperial court tomorrow that
139
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,440
I'll abolish the old custom of political intervention of the consort kin
140
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:51,880
- Your Majesty… - What?
141
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,600
Are you upset?
142
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:04,400
Your Majesty, it's your goal to remove political interference
143
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,360
of the consort kin
and their dictatorship, but
144
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,000
But this will deprive you of the opportunity
145
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,120
to please both sides, right?
146
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,080
You got me wrong, Your Majesty
147
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,760
I'm not trying to please both sides
148
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,840
I'm like a rat in the bellows, suffering at both ends
149
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,480
I once wanted to propose to abolish the old rule of political intervention
150
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,320
of the consort kin as soon as the Dou Clan was destroyed
151
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,640
But now it seems that
152
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,440
it can't be pushed too hard
153
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,320
Sit down and talk
154
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,800
Since when have you been indoctrinated by Confucianism?
155
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,680
I had an epiphany from you, Your Majesty
156
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:07,640
I learned your strategy from your decision
157
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,640
to make Gongsun Hong the Prime Minister
158
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,560
I'm pleased to hear that
159
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,360
What's urgent now
160
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,800
is to subdue the feudal lords and defeat the Xiongnu
161
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,520
Only when these two major issues are perfectly resolved
162
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,120
can you have your prestige soar
163
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,240
and deal with the consort kin easily
164
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:34,720
Wang Xiu alone
165
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,720
is upsetting me a lot
166
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:42,800
- Catch the assassin!
- Catch the assassin!
167
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,480
- Here. - Thank you, Your Majesty
168
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,480
Catch the assassin!
169
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,640
- There's an assassin, Your Majesty!
- Nonsense
170
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,400
How can there be an assassin in the imperial forest in broad daylight?
171
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,760
I'm not an assassin!
172
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:04,440
- I'm really not an assassin! - Go!
173
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:05,760
Sir
174
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,160
Your Majesty
175
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,520
that man seems to be my brother-in-law, Qiu Hu
176
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,720
Dongfang Shuo, I called you here to talk
177
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,000
- just to avoid trouble. - Yes
178
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,600
Why did you also let your brother-in-law…
179
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,040
Please calm down, Your Majesty
180
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,760
My brother-in-law, Qiu Hu
181
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,840
won't ruin your plan, Your Majesty
182
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,880
He's just a spy for my wife
183
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,120
to find out if I'm having an affair
184
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,200
with anyone out there
185
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,440
Dongfang Shuo
186
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,480
I didn't expect that you, a cunning man
187
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,280
would be given a hard time one day
188
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,960
Your Majesty, since this has happened
189
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,040
I'd like you to do me a favor
190
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,240
What favor?
191
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:53,960
I'm an assassin
192
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,160
No… I'm not an assassin. I'm Qiu Hu!
193
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,360
Assassin, how dare you break into an imperial forbidden zone?
194
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,160
You must be plotting to assassinate His Majesty!
195
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,600
- Guards! - Yes, sir. - Yes, sir!
196
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,640
Give him a hundred strokes first
197
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,360
Then take him out and behead him
198
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,400
Hang his head on a tree
to warn the public!
199
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,640
No… Sir!
200
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:17,680
Harder!
201
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,760
Dongfang Shuo… Help!
202
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,400
- Stop! - Dongfang Shuo…
203
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,280
- Please stop first. - Stop
204
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,440
What's going on?
205
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,360
I'm not an assassin
206
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,800
- I'm not!- Right, Your Majesty
207
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,760
He's not an assassin
208
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,440
He's my brother-in-law, Qiu Hu
209
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,160
But this is the imperial forest
210
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:45,480
- How could you just bring anyone in here? - Yeah…
211
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:46,640
I apologize
212
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,320
I've brought him along as an attendant
213
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,320
to show off like a high official
214
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,080
But I didn't let him in
215
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,520
He just doesn't know the rules
216
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,040
He doesn't know while he's curious
217
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,400
So he came in here by himself
218
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,000
That's still not allowed.
Whoever trespasses
219
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,560
the forbidden place shall be punished
220
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:11,960
Indeed, but I'm still begging you,
Your Majesty
221
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,760
not to kill him!
222
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,240
You may not know, Your Majesty
223
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,840
My brother, Qiu Hu
224
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,160
and I swore on our lives
to be close brothers!
225
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,160
I can't let you die
226
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,840
Your Majesty, please don't kill him!
227
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:35,520
If he dies, then I won't live either!
228
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:41,360
- Dongfang Shuo! My brother! - Brother!
229
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,800
All right, don't cry
230
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,880
Then I'll give him 50 strokes
as a punishment
231
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,080
Brother! Brother!
232
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,040
Your Majesty, I want to beg you once more
233
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,560
Even if the 50 strokes
234
00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:00,800
won't kill him, he will also be crippled
235
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,200
Please reduce some strokes. I beg you, Your Majesty
236
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,280
Fine
237
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:07,480
Then, for the sake of my trusted official, Dongfang Shuo
238
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,360
give him 10 strokes instead
239
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,480
If he
240
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,600
dares to trespass again,
I'll chop off his head!
241
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:16,960
- Yes. Say thank you to His Majesty.
-Thank you, Your Majesty
242
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,160
Three strokes are done. Seven more to go. Keep beating!
243
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:29,160
You freaked me out! Now you know it hurts. It serves you right!
244
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,760
You've got nothing better to do
245
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,160
than follow him all the time?
246
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,440
He's always on guard against you!
247
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,160
In the end, you're the one who suffers the most!
248
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,920
Why don't you learn a lesson?
249
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,520
I'm telling you
250
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,360
Be careful
251
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,600
Don't lose your life next time
252
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,200
Next time?
253
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,600
His Majesty nearly
cut off my head this time
254
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,440
Why didn't he do it?
255
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,640
Dongfang Shuo begged
His Majesty for mercy
256
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,840
My brother-in-law said he liked me
257
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,280
Look at him
258
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,040
He saved your life regardless of what you did to him
259
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,840
And look at you!
260
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,080
I know he's nice to me, but my sister…
261
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,720
Don't keep talking about my sister
262
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,640
Your sister is not a good guy, either
263
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,280
Let's get one thing straight
264
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,400
If you keep messing with Dongfang Shuo
265
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,240
you'll never get into my bed again
266
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,320
Go! Get out of my bed!
267
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,720
- No… - Get out!
268
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,600
Then I won't follow him ever again, okay?
269
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,320
I won't do it no matter what
270
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,040
- You said it. - I said it
271
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,520
- Thank you, sir. - Have a good day
272
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,720
- Sir. - Please sit down
273
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,200
Thank you, sir
274
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:00,480
Excuse me, sir
275
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,280
Do you want me to tell the fortune or read your features?
276
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,880
Divine by trigram or by characters?
277
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,040
No…
278
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,360
Sir, I don't need you to read features or divine by characters
279
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,040
I'm here to ask you for a favor
280
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:14,680
Please go ahead
281
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,800
What do you want, sir?
282
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,480
I will help you, of course!
283
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,200
This is the case
284
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,200
Two years ago, a fortune-teller once gave me a divination
285
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,560
He said I'd meet an auspicious man and make a fortune with ample food
286
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,160
And it really came true
287
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:36,600
That's why I'm here
288
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,360
I want to treat all the fortune-tellers on this street
289
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,000
to a banquet at the tea house
on Liuhou Lane
290
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,160
I wonder if you'd like to do me this favor
291
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,480
That's so great!
292
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,200
Who would refuse? I'll go gather them
293
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,440
Thank you so much, sir
294
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,000
Shuo? It's so late. What's going on?
295
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,840
Let's talk inside
296
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:06,840
This way, please
297
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,400
What's the matter?
298
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,560
There. Let's talk over there
299
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,760
Qing, you must know more about horses than I do
300
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,080
Do you know what food can make a horse go crazy?
301
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,720
What?
302
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,120
I've never heard of that
303
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,600
I only know if a horse is frightened
304
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,360
you can use medicine to calm them down
305
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,280
If there's medicine to calm horses down
306
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,880
there's got to be something to make horses lose control
307
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,920
Even if there is,
I don't know what it can be
308
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,160
Then how can I make it?
309
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,240
Shuo, what do you want?
310
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,640
I'll tell you later
311
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,880
No such medicine… That's a problem
312
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,280
Why don't you consult a doctor?
313
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,040
If a doctor prescribes the wrong medicine
314
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,360
sometimes it can drive people crazy
315
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:02,040
People can be driven crazy with prescriptions, and so can the horses
316
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,520
That's right, Qing! Nailed it!
I'm going home now
317
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:26,360
What are you doing so late at night?
318
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,920
Go to bed. I'll be there in a minute
319
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,800
What kind of books are you looking for?
320
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:38,480
Medical books
321
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,440
Is it done now?
322
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,200
Yes, sir. You can take the horse away now
323
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:48,760
Thank you
324
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,040
It's a lot!
325
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,280
It's not only the fee for your medicine
326
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,800
but also the hush money
327
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:02,320
Do you understand?
328
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,880
Your Excellency
329
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,240
all the troops are assembled and waiting for your inspection, Grand Herald
330
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,920
- Prepare the horse. - Understood
331
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,240
Prepare the horse!
332
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,120
Let's begin
333
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,560
Mr. Wang! Help Mr. Wang up!
334
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,360
- My arm! - It's broken
335
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:24,920
Mr. Wang's arm is broken
336
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,520
Take him to the imperial physician!
337
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,240
Come on… Be gentle
338
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,520
He still can't ride
339
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,000
Qubing! Watch your mouth!
340
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,040
Broken? Is his arm really broken?
341
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:42,680
When the gun went off
342
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,880
the horses got startled and went crazy
343
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,920
It soon dropped Mr. Wang to the ground
344
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,480
In the end, he broke his arm
345
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,880
A well-trained, battle-hardened horse
346
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,520
got scared out of the blue
347
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,360
Servants! Prepare the sedan chair and send me out there!
348
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:08,920
Your Majesty
349
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,920
Any news from the Spring Palace?
350
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,520
- The Empress Dowager has left the imperial palace. - What's she doing?
351
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,000
She's taking the vet
from the Imperial Stables
352
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,920
to check that horse at the drill ground in person
353
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,320
Secondly
354
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:28,640
You panicked out of fear and seriously violated the military discipline
355
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:31,680
Thirdly
356
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:36,000
you offended and dropped your superior, your commander
357
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,880
in an attempt to… In an attempt to rebel!
358
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,800
Fourthly
359
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:52,000
you fled to escape punishment, scared your fellows and broke military rules
360
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,480
Four major crimes! Each one of them can put you to death!
361
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,560
Here, as the military counselor, I decide
362
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,040
to execute you according to military law!
363
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:12,920
As a warning
364
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,000
to you, all the war-horses
365
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,800
The Empress Dowager is here
366
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,640
- Greetings, Your Highness.
- Greetings, Your Highness
367
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,080
- Long live, Your Highness.
- Long live, Your Highness
368
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,680
- Rise. - Rise!
369
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,080
Dongfang Shuo
370
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,680
Yes, Your Highness. Long live, Your Highness
371
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,040
- Rise. - Thank you, Your Highness
372
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,480
Answer me
373
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,640
How did Mr. Wang's horse get frightened?
374
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,880
When the cannon was fired, that animal went crazy all of a sudden
375
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,040
Lord Wang wasn't paying attention
376
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,480
He was dropped to the ground by surprise, badly injured
377
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,440
That horse
378
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,800
was picked out of thousands of war-horses by you
379
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,920
Not only is it well-trained and meek
380
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,160
but it's also been ridden
by Mr. Wang all the time
381
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,560
How come it suddenly got frightened?
382
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,920
Yes, it shouldn't have happened
383
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,680
Why was it suddenly out of control?
384
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,480
- I'm asking you! - Yes, Your Highness
385
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,400
I don't understand either
386
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,240
Where is the horse now?
387
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,200
Your Highness, I've arrested it
388
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,160
Good. Bring it here
389
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:54,840
I want the veterinarian from the Imperial Stables
390
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,760
to examine it in person
391
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,400
Bring it here as I told you!
392
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,600
- Your Highness, you're one step too late. - Why?
393
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,360
I've already ordered to behead that rebellious beast
394
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:14,440
- before the other horses. - You…
395
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,360
- What did you do?
- I was following military law
396
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,760
Where is the horse now?
397
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,840
I want to see for myself
398
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,400
This way, Your Highness
399
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,560
- Dongfang Shuo! - Yes, Your Highness
400
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,800
What is your crime for killing a war-horse?
401
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:48,920
Please look into it, Your Highness
402
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,040
That beast violated military rules and was supposed to be beheaded
403
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,920
The horse is not human. Even if it was frightened
404
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,480
you shouldn't have just killed it!
405
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,960
I was trying to make an example of it
406
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,200
If the other horses don't listen to orders
407
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,680
and go wild on the battlefield
408
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,080
- that will be terrible. - A load of crap!
409
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,240
I've only heard of making an example of people to warn people
410
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,800
but not killing horses to warn horses!
411
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,920
Your Highness, horses are somewhat like humans
412
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,560
If you don't do something
serious about them
413
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,360
they won't obey
414
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,600
Killing an untamed horse in war
415
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,480
is like killing an unruly man who doesn't follow orders
416
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,160
It's necessary
417
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:40,880
It'll also help discipline the horses
418
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:42,480
- Wei Qing. - Yes, Your Highness
419
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,600
Is Dongfang Shuo telling the truth?
420
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:46,560
Your Highness
421
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,840
It's not rare to whip
or behead disobedient horses
422
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,360
in the barracks
423
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,880
- Return to the imperial palace! - Return!
424
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,440
- Goodbye, Your Highness!
- Goodbye, Your Highness!
425
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,760
Good, you are all right now
426
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,160
It still hurts so much, and I'm okay now?
427
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,680
Are you fooling me?
428
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:19,880
I'm not lying
429
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,320
It's true that your arm has been broken and misaligned, sir
430
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,120
It'll take a few days to recover
431
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,160
Servants, take Dr. Zhang
to get his reward
432
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,440
Dr. Zhang, please
433
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,200
- Father! - Where have you been?
434
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,520
Your father fell and got hurt like this
435
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,200
while you were nowhere to be found
436
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,000
I was collecting information out there
437
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,000
What information?
438
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,880
Mom, you don't know that yet?
439
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,320
The news of Dad's fall from his horse
440
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,320
has spread all over Chang'an
441
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,880
What do they say?
442
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,440
The people are saying
443
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:02,000
the army has yet to march while the commander has been hurt
444
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,840
It's a bad omen
445
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,840
I was just wondering
446
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,760
why that horse suddenly went crazy
447
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,040
It must be ominous
448
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,040
Dear, I don't think you're going to march this time
449
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,880
Dad, Mom, I wonder
450
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,520
if we should go and get a fortune-teller to come
451
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,720
and divine for Dad
452
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,240
Let him tell if Dad can go or not
453
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,120
Yes, go and do it
454
00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:34,360
One fortune-teller is not enough.
Invite a few more here
455
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,920
- Dongfang Shuo. - At your command, Your Majesty
456
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,600
Answer my question honestly
457
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,000
Or you'll commit the capital crime of cheating the Emperor
458
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,560
Your Majesty, please go ahead
459
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,920
Duke Wang fell off his horse
460
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,800
Did you play a part in this?
461
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,960
No. Your Majesty, that damned beast was the one to blame
462
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,400
I had nothing to do with it
463
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Is it true?
464
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,840
I wouldn't dare to deceive you,
Your Majesty
465
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,280
You've lied to me so many times, haven't you?
466
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,720
Your Majesty, I can't afford to say yes
467
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,960
I would dare to deceive anyone
468
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:36,000
but you, Your Majesty
469
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,360
Good
470
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,680
Don't be too full of yourself now
471
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,400
I know he's fine
472
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,520
If he still goes to the front
473
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,520
I'll hold you accountable
474
00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,160
- Sir! - What's it? Speak
475
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,800
Sir, with all due respect
476
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,400
The Evil White Tiger has started to bite
477
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,600
The year's horoscope augurs ill.
You should be careful, sir
478
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,360
Then what should we do?
479
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,480
You mustn't go to the northwest
480
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,240
The White Tiger is jinxing in the west
481
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,920
The Black Tortoise
is menacing in the north
482
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,960
I'm afraid your life will be in danger if you go there
483
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,480
Oh, Heaven. Oh, the Highest Elder Lord
484
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,320
Please tell me his fortune
485
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,240
- Sir! - Well
486
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:49,040
Sir, are you asking about weal or woe?
487
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,080
- A gentleman asks about woe, not weal.
- Everything bodes ill
488
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,360
Then what's the solution?
489
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:56,640
You already own what you deserve
490
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,560
Do not ask for more by force
491
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,000
Otherwise, you'll be in deep trouble
492
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,600
and even end up losing your life for it
493
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,880
Wang Xiu, Duke Wang!
494
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,720
You've got some self-knowledge anyway
495
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,480
This Dongfang Shuo is so amazing
496
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,880
You also think this was all planned by Dongfang Shuo?
497
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:31,560
Your Majesty
498
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,440
others may not know
499
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,040
but you are well aware of it
500
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,800
But Dongfang Shuo doesn't admit it's his credit
501
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,440
He doesn't care about such small credits anymore
502
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:50,640
Why?
503
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,040
It's obvious
504
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,600
No credit can be greater than purging the Dou clan
505
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,680
That's a good point
506
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,840
It looks like he's going to achieve something greater
507
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,640
Wang Xiu, you useless fool
508
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,400
Did I do something so unforgivable in my past life?
509
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,480
Why was I born into a family full of morons this life?
510
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,280
Yi, tell me
511
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,520
Since Wang Xiu quits, who can lead the army instead?
512
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,680
Your Majesty, if you ask me
how to train a dog
513
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,560
I can tell you everything you need to know
514
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,920
But for such a significant military matter
515
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,800
I can't come up with a single idea
516
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,440
Just say whatever you want
517
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,320
I'm not going to accept it anyway
518
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,440
Since what I say doesn't matter
519
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,520
I will just speak my mind
520
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:52,360
Go ahead
521
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,040
Your Majesty
522
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,600
I think General Wei Qing can take Duke Wang's place
523
00:31:58,920 --> 00:31:59,600
Why?
524
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:03,400
Your Majesty, General Wei Qing is well-versed in the art of war
525
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,840
The last time he guarded the imperial palace, he already showed
526
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,400
his commanding skills. And that's not all
527
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,840
The formation of Wu Gang
chariots he trained
528
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,360
is the Xiongnu cavalry's greatest nemesis
529
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,520
What's more, his subordinate, Huo Qubing
530
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,520
has developed the prowess of one against ten thousand
531
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,280
He's a remarkable young general now
532
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,960
You've got a good point
533
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,200
I have underestimated you
534
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,000
I'm just talking nonsense. Please don't make fun of me, Your Majesty
535
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,680
Good, continue
536
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,560
If General Wei Qing brings the army back with a victory
537
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,680
you can make him a marquis with a tribute from 5,000 or 8,000
538
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,360
or even 10,000 households
539
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,760
Then no one will dare to gossip anymore
540
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,600
So General Wei Qing and
Princess Pingyang will be a good match
541
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,400
and you can grant them a marriage, Your Majesty
542
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,360
Indeed
543
00:32:54,840 --> 00:33:00,840
Good. Did Dongfang Shuo teach all this?
544
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,440
N-no
545
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,120
After today's morning meeting, you two were muttering outside the Xuan Hall
546
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,480
What did you say?
547
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,480
Nothing
548
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,480
Are you going to say it or not? Confess or not?
549
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,160
I'll kick your ass if you still don't tell me
550
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,040
I confess! Mr. Dongfang
taught me to say that!
551
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:28,720
Didn't he tell you
552
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,840
he'd like to be the Grand Herald too?
553
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,840
No, he said he still wanted to be the military counselor
554
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,920
No title, no qualification
for the Prime Minister
555
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,960
It looks like Wang Xiu and Gongsun Hong are both out
556
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,120
The Empress Dowager and I have received memorials from Wang Xiu
557
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,600
claiming that his injuries are too serious for him to resist the enemy
558
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,600
Therefore, I've decided to replace the generals for the expedition
559
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,160
Wei Qing, Gan Fu, Wang Geng,
listen to my order
560
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,560
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
- Yes, Your Majesty
561
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:23,280
Wei Qing shall take over from Wang Xiu
as Grand Herald for the expedition
562
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,600
Gan Fu will be the deputy general to assist Wei Qing in leading the army
563
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,000
Wang Geng will remain the vanguard
564
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,960
- Now, you shall lead the troops into battle without delay. - Understood…
565
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,720
Your Majesty, the meeting just ended. Why don't you go in and take a rest?
566
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,120
I'm in a very good mood today
567
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,880
I'm going to the back to listen to the music
568
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,520
- What are you waiting for? Come on!
- Understood
569
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,120
Shuo
570
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,680
- Why haven't you left?
- We're waiting for you!
571
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:18,000
Shuo, why did His Majesty suddenly kick you out of the expedition?
572
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:18,640
Yeah
573
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,360
His Majesty never intended for me to go
574
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,120
But he agreed last time, didn't he?
575
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,000
The Empress Dowager forced to appoint me last time
576
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,080
His Majesty had no choice
577
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,880
Now Her Highness has quit it
578
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,000
That's good
579
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,360
His Majesty doesn't need
to trouble me anymore
580
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,040
Shuo, the three of us swore to be brothers that year
581
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,560
just in the hope that one day we could
582
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,520
- kill the enemy on the battlefield together for the state. - Exactly
583
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,800
But now you can't go with us
584
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,680
- I feel so bad. - Yeah…
585
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,840
Why don't you go
and persuade His Majesty?
586
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,160
Maybe he'll let you go if he's pleased
587
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,120
Brother Gan is right! His Majesty trusts your words the most
588
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,800
If you persuade him, he'll definitely agree
589
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,320
Qing, Brother Gan!
590
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,960
His Majesty suddenly canceled my trip to the border
591
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,080
He made this decision
592
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,560
after careful consideration
593
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,360
If I go back to beg him
594
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,520
I can change nothing!
595
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,280
At least you have to try! What if it works?
596
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,120
Shuo, doesn't His Majesty
love your jokes?
597
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,040
I think he's teasing you on purpose and waiting for you to beg him
598
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,520
because of your eagerness to go to the front this time
599
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,560
Yes, when you go and His Majesty looks at you
600
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,760
he will see you, stubborn Dongfang Shuo
601
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,800
pleading with him
602
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,320
He might be amused and let you go
603
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:51,320
- Then let me be bold and go to persuade His Majesty. - Yes!
604
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,680
- Can I do it? - Sure! - No problem
605
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,280
- Let's go. - Can I really? - Of course
606
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,800
Your Majesty, Dongfang Shuo
requested to meet you
607
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,320
- Keep him waiting. - Yes, Your Majesty
608
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,400
- Yi. - Yes, Your Majesty
609
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:46,880
- Go and see if Dongfang Shuo is still there. - Understood
610
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,800
He hasn't left yet, right? Then let him wait another hour
611
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,960
Your Majesty, Dongfang Shuo is gone
612
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,960
You can still fall asleep?
613
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,720
- Don't you feel mad?
- Why should I be mad?
614
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:25,920
Out of sight, out of mind
615
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,080
What's wrong with sleeping? Do I have to hang myself?
616
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,240
You're fighting for him!
You're working for him!
617
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,080
But he doesn't want it
618
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,920
- An emperor's mind is so unpredictable.
- What's so unpredictable?
619
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,400
He's afraid that after I make a great achievement
620
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,840
I'll develop the ambition to be the Prime Minister
621
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,800
He's more worried that, with greater credit, I will get out of his control
622
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,040
I feel so bad for you
623
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,440
You've been struggling to make a name for yourself for years
624
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:09,880
and make yourself proud
625
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,680
What now? It's all become a bubble
626
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,440
bursting with a poof!
627
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,720
Yeah, I guess I have to think twice with a humble mind
628
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:30,960
before I do anything
629
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,680
By order of the Empress Dowager, we're giving you an extra meal today!
630
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,200
Fish, come and eat!
631
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,400
- Come on… - Here, this way
632
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:50,160
Fish, by order of the Empress Dowager
633
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,120
it's a feast for you today. Eat some more
634
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,840
Greetings, Mother
635
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,320
- Has the army set off? - Yes, Mother
636
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,640
I led the civil and military officials outside the Xuanwu Gate
637
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,040
to see them off
638
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,960
I heard that you didn't let Dongfang Shuo go with the army this time
639
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,640
I thought since victory was assured
640
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,760
we just didn't need him
to go there for a ride
641
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,240
Yes, such a brainy and capable man
642
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,360
should be left by your side
643
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,360
to give you advice all the time
644
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,640
Mother, you are so right
645
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,280
Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, just go about your business
646
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,800
I've been roaming around the gardens, listening to music
647
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,280
and dozing off every day
648
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,880
- Then I'll take my leave now, Mother.
