Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,920
Tell me the truth
2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,680
Is it indeed true that Liu Hao is rebelling?
3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,160
With the enemy forces at the gates, can there be any doubt?
4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,920
If Liu Hao attacks the city, what are his chances of success?
5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,000
How many troops does His Majesty have?
6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,800
Altogether, not more than 20,000
7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,840
Duke Wang, think about it: who would win in the battle
8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,240
200,000 or 20,000?
9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,580
Well
10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,460
What should we do?
11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,920
What do you imply?
12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,080
If Jingchu's army breaches the city, everyone will crash and burn!
13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,240
I'm not like you, sitting on the fence
14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,240
Regardless of the outcome, you'll be hailed as a meritorious minister
15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,840
I am His Majesty's maternal uncle
16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,200
Once Liu Hao captures the city
17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,040
he won't spare me
18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,000
Hasn't His Majesty made ample preparations already?
19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,000
Even so
20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,080
20,000 troops can't withstand 200,000!
21
00:01:17,940 --> 00:01:18,520
No
22
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,440
you must think of a plan
23
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,640
to encourage Liu Hao and His Majesty to engage in direct negotiations
24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,160
Peace negotiation? Well
25
00:01:28,260 --> 00:01:29,400
Well
26
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,300
I'll try my best
27
00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:35,440
However, Prince Liu Hao is
28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,920
most amenable to Dongfang Shuo's idea
29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,840
And Dongfang Shuo bears a grudge against His Majesty
30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,400
and even you, Lord Wang
31
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,680
So, peace negotiation would be almost impossible
32
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,020
Lord Qiankun
33
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,680
kindly relay a message to Prince Liu Hao
34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,580
Should the
negotiations prove unsuccessful
35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,240
I am prepared to serve
as an inside contact
36
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,280
to open a city gate to welcome the Jingchu army
37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,760
Is this your sincere offer?
38
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:16,620
Good
39
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,160
I will certainly inform Prince Liu Hao
40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,520
and His Highness
will reward you generously
41
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,180
Report!
42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,880
Your Highness,
Lord Qiankun has returned
43
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:30,140
He's back?
44
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,460
Greetings, Your Highness
45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,560
Lord Qiankun, thanks for your efforts. Please sit down
46
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,400
Your Highness, I have obtained the information
47
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,200
The total forces in Chang'an amount to just over20,000
48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:48,580
Has it been verified?
49
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,360
His Majesty's maternal uncle, Wang Xiu, personally confirmed it
50
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:53,080
So, you meet Wang Xiu?
51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,440
He is well aware that, as His Majesty's maternal uncle
52
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,000
Your Highness won't show him any mercy
53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,900
after the city falls
54
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,320
So, he sneaked into the inn at night
55
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,680
expressing a willingness to be a planted agent for Your Highness
56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,440
He pledged to open a city gate to welcome Your Highness
57
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,400
- in exchange for clemency - Excellent!
58
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,680
Your Highness, we can't afford to let such an opportunity slip
59
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:17,440
as time waits for no one
60
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,420
Lord Qiankun
61
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,760
why don't you report His Majesty's current situation
62
00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:22,960
to His Highness?
63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,400
His Majesty said if Your Highness is willing to join the campaign
64
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,320
against the Xiongnu, he'll annul the Participation of Interests policy
65
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,200
However, this comes with a stipulation
66
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,520
that is, the surrender of Dongfang Shuo
67
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,240
How did you respond?
68
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,400
I conveyed that Dongfang Shuo is not in Jingchu
69
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,400
but Your Highness can assist His Majesty in apprehending him
70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,340
Good
71
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,860
What did His Majesty say?
72
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,440
His Majesty indicated trust
in Your Highness
73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,880
given your shared lineage
74
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,400
His Majesty believes that with a grave external threat
75
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,320
the primary concern should be warding off the Xiongnu invasion
76
00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:03,420
By the way, His Majesty has expressed
77
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,840
his sincere intention to
78
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,520
personally visit the camp tomorrow to reward the troops
79
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,960
- Does he really plan to come in person? - Yes
80
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,200
Hold on. Is it possible that he's up to something?
81
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,320
What could he be up to?
82
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,160
His Majesty's total force is just over twenty thousand
83
00:04:20,180 --> 00:04:21,100
Even if they all come
84
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:24,240
it would be effortless
for us to beat them up
85
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,260
This showcases His Majesty's bravery and excellence
86
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,880
What is your point, my advisor?
87
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,260
His Majesty must have assessed the situation thoroughly
88
00:04:36,260 --> 00:04:40,720
A direct confrontation cannot withstand the 200,000 Jingchu troops
89
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,280
Therefore
90
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,600
His Majesty's optimal choice would be to take a risk, appear openly
91
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,200
express sincerity to the people
92
00:04:48,820 --> 00:04:52,000
and try to persuade
Your Highness in person
93
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,560
I am not a three-year-old
94
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,300
How could I be so easily persuaded?
95
00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:58,060
But for His Majesty
96
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,200
rather than being trapped in a besieged city waiting for death
97
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,160
it's better to seize the opportunity to escape desperation
98
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,120
So, should I meet him tomorrow or not?
99
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,340
Of course
100
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,400
Your Highness should meet him and host a grand feast for him here
101
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,640
That's right, during the banquet, I'll toss the cup as a signal
102
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,200
Then, the concealed and armed assassins will capture Liu Che alive
103
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,260
Indeed, as long as we can capture His Majesty
104
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,200
Your Highness can command all feudal lords in guise of legitimacy
105
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,260
seizing Chang'an without any casualty
106
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,480
and ultimately achieving the goal of ascending the throne
107
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,040
Who are you? How dare you trespass the camp of Jingchu army?
108
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,520
Please inform His Highness and Dongfang Shuo that
109
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,800
Jing Kui requests an audience
110
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:51,980
Mr. Jing!
111
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,620
Brother Dongfang!
112
00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,740
Mr. Jing!
113
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,400
Mr. Jing, please rise
114
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,320
I apologize, Brother Dongfang
115
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,580
I failed in my duty
116
00:06:10,820 --> 00:06:12,220
to rescue your wife
117
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,420
It's not your fault
118
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,880
but rather the heartless Emperor's
119
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:18,620
Gentlemen
120
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,720
Gentlemen, there's no need for excessive grief
121
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,320
I promise to ensure justice for you both
122
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,560
Your Highness, this is Jing Kui, the renowned swordsman
123
00:06:29,260 --> 00:06:30,600
I respectfully greet Your Highness
124
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,440
There's no need for such formalities. Please, come inside
125
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:47,140
Brother Jing
126
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,260
why didn't Princess Liu Nan return
with you?
127
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,520
Her Highness has led over a hundred of my disciples
128
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,060
to infiltrate Chang'an
129
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,360
So, Liu Nan is in Chang'an?
130
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,360
I have made arrangements
131
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,720
As soon as the Jingchu army bombards the city
132
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,880
they will immediately ignite fires within
133
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,200
- open the gates, and welcome Your Highness. - Great
134
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,380
But
135
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,760
what if His Majesty recalls
136
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,840
the 200,000 reinforcements
from the border?
137
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,540
Don't worry
138
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,960
Even if Wei Qing and Gan Fu want to return to aid
139
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,600
it will take them at least ten days
140
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,280
Furthermore, the situation has altered
141
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,600
I don't need to dispatch troops to attack the city
142
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,880
Liu Che will come to us himself
143
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,720
Tomorrow, His Majesty will visit the camp to reward our troops
144
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,720
His Highness has meticulously prepared everything to capture him alive
145
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,120
Your Highness, Prince Yan has dispatched General Tian Heng
146
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,040
and Prince Qi has sent General Chen Yue, each commanding 50,000 troops
147
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:42,960
They have already arrived in Lintong
148
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,040
- Arrange for someone to contact them immediately. - Understood
149
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,180
Who is it?
150
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,340
It's me, Dongfang Shuo
151
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,040
It's late.
Why haven't you rested yet, advisor?
152
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,160
General, you're not resting either
153
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,580
I can't
154
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,400
It's always difficult to sleep on the eve of a significant battle
155
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,960
There's something I don't understand and I'd appreciate your advice
156
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,340
Please share your concerns, General
157
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,920
Prior to our departure, I had a private meeting with the Prince
158
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,240
What did His Highness discuss with you?
159
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:43,540
His Highness mentioned that
160
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,800
he had spoken with you
161
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,240
His Highness suggested that if the Crown Prince arrives in Chang'an
162
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,360
he should urge His Majesty to repeal the policy
163
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,760
of Participation of Interests, instead of committing fratricide
164
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,520
General, you might have witnessed
165
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,520
my endeavors on this. Unfortunately, it didn't work
166
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,880
I acknowledge your good intentions,
advisor
167
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:06,100
However, the blame should be attributed to Qiankunzi
168
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,040
He attempts to cause chaos and deceive His Highness
169
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,240
It can't be entirely blamed on him
170
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,120
When you see ripe peaches ready to be plucked
171
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,000
it's hard to resist such temptation
172
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,480
Although peaches are easy to pick, they aren't necessarily easy to eat
173
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,200
Capturing His Majesty alive in Chang'an is simple
174
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,360
but who will handle the aftermath?
175
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,440
In the power struggle between the monarch and his subordinates
176
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,540
if the country descends into chaos
177
00:09:38,460 --> 00:09:39,960
it's likely that the Xiongnu Chanyu will reap the most benefits
178
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:49,560
Advisor
179
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,160
I know you hold a grudge against His Majesty due to your wife's death
180
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,560
However
181
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,540
regardless of how grave your resentments against His Majesty may be
182
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,160
they remain personal issues
183
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,980
I implore you
184
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,040
not to risk the welfare of our country and its people
185
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,640
over these personal matters
186
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:08,820
General, you have a broad mind
187
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,520
worrying about the country and the people, making me feel inferior
188
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,620
You're too generous with your praise
189
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,480
Given your extensive knowledge and remarkable strategic abilities
190
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,440
could you devise a foolproof plan
191
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,080
to avert the impending disaster?
192
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,720
If my assistance is required in any capacity, simply instruct me
193
00:10:38,140 --> 00:10:39,640
and I will comply
194
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,380
General
195
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,400
when the time arises, I will undoubtedly need to rely on you
196
00:11:05,660 --> 00:11:07,200
Armed soldiers, prepare!
197
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:28,780
Halt!
198
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,400
I, Liu Hao, Crown Prince of Jingchu
199
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,160
pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long may Your Majesty reign!
200
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,260
Seize him!
201
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,080
Don't move, or I'll kill you!
202
00:12:08,340 --> 00:12:09,800
By His Majesty's decree
203
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,320
Liu Hao, Crown Prince of Jingchu, is accused of conspiracy
204
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,820
and rebellion, thus shall be apprehended for justice
205
00:12:14,220 --> 00:12:14,940
Attack!
206
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,080
If anyone attacks,
Liu Hao will be killed first
207
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,240
Stop, don't move!
208
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,440
Step back! Do not risk the life of our Crown Prince
209
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,160
Order a retreat inside the gate
210
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,480
Everyone,
retreat inside the gate immediately!
211
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,920
- General Gan. - Where is His Highness? What happened?
212
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,200
His Majesty has taken His Highness away
213
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,000
What? Hurry,
let's take His Highness back!
214
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,480
No, if we attempt a forceful rescue now
215
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,840
they will surely execute His Highness
216
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,840
Lord Qiankun is correct
217
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,080
We must not endanger His Highness
218
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Report! The forces of the Prince Yan in the north
219
00:12:56,540 --> 00:12:58,040
have suddenly changed to the banner of General Wei Qing
220
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,240
The forces of the Prince Qi in the south
221
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,520
have suddenly changed to the banner of General Gan Fu
222
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,880
The two armies are approaching from the north and south
223
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,660
Order all soldiers to stay
and defend the camp
224
00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:09,640
No one is allowed to engage in battle without orders!
225
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,240
Attention, everyone within the camp
226
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,320
I, Wei Qing, the Marquis of Guannei
227
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,160
requests your commander, General Gan Qi, to come out and converse
228
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,960
I, Gan Qi, offer my respects to you
229
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:37,020
General Gan, please rise
230
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,240
By His Majesty's decree,
Liu Hao of Jingchu
231
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,640
despite being a royal and the Crown Prince of a feudatory
232
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,600
has neglected his duties to the court
233
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,320
He has even conspired with the Xiongnu in acts of rebellion
234
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,720
and has consequently been apprehended
235
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,880
Soldiers of Jingchu,
you are hereby ordered to
236
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,040
immediately lay down your weapons and surrender to the court
237
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:58,320
so that His Majesty
may grant you a pardon
238
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,540
Should you continue in your obstinacy and rebellion
239
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,960
you will be deemed an accomplice of Liu Hao and will face annihilation
240
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,840
I have established eight sets of
241
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,440
the Eight Diagrams of the Spirit of Wu around the camp
242
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,240
making escape as difficult as ascending to heaven
243
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,200
The Spiked Wagon formation, an invention of Dongfang Shuo
244
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,040
is extremely powerful. Don't act recklessly
245
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,080
Since Dongfang Shuo created
this formation
246
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,560
he likely knows how to dismantle it
247
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,160
General Gan, what is the current situation outside?
248
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,240
As of now, there are no developments
249
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,600
- Hurry, send for the advisor for discussion. - Understood!
250
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,720
- Dongfang Shuo? - Yes, it's urgent
251
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,640
and we need him to take charge
252
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,400
We have all been deceived
by that very man!
253
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,320
Lord Qiankun, why would you say that?
254
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,880
I witnessed it with my own eyes just moments ago
255
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,520
Dongfang Shuo's wife, Qiu Gu, disguised herself as Noble Consort Wei
256
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,040
and captured His Highness together with Jing Kui
257
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,660
Do not consider him our advisor
258
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,600
That traitor and His Majesty feigned vulnerability to earn our trust!
259
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,320
- Let's apprehend that traitor and execute him! - Let's go!
260
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,420
Let's kill him!
261
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:08,900
You are all present
262
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:14,700
What is happening?
263
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,460
Get him!
264
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,300
Come back!
265
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,860
We can talk
266
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,480
I am all alone
267
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,280
I won't sprout wings and fly away
268
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:30,860
Moreover
269
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,640
if each of you were to spit just once
270
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,240
it could drown me
271
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,440
There's no need for such a fuss
272
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:38,700
Release him
273
00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:50,620
Generals, take your seats
274
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:53,980
Please sit
275
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:57,780
Dongfang Shuo
276
00:15:58,780 --> 00:15:59,400
let me ask you
277
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,840
Did you and His Majesty conspire to feign vulnerability
278
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,800
in order to deceive His Highness?
279
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,200
While we did feign vulnerability
280
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,480
it was not to deceive him but rather to help him
281
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,600
Stop your chicanery!
282
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,880
Generals, let me explain
283
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,760
When His Majesty learned of His Highness's rebellious intentions
284
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,400
he could not bear the idea of
285
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,240
internal strife among close relatives
286
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,840
Therefore, His Majesty sent me in this unique way to Jingchu
287
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,840
with the purpose of convincing His Highness to align with the court
288
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,180
command the army, and confront our actual enemy
289
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,720
However, His Highness, blindly trusting someone's slander
290
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,000
ignored my repeated dissuasion
291
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,000
and insisted on rebellious actions against the court
292
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,080
Consequently, His Majesty was left with no choice
293
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,000
but to venture alone to capture the rebel
294
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:57,980
Dongfang Shuo
295
00:16:58,340 --> 00:17:00,380
you're talking nonsense!
296
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,100
His Majesty harbored rebellious intentions himself
297
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,480
How dare you accuse me of inciting him?
298
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,560
Lord Qiankun, your contributions are undeniable
299
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,560
I shall end you now,
avenging His Highness!
300
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:17,360
Hold on!
301
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,000
General Gan, Dongfang Shuo is a favored courtier of the Emperor
302
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,400
We can use him as a bargaining chip to secure His Highness's return
303
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,200
I must confess that
304
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,320
His Majesty detests
my silver tongue the most
305
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,100
and has thrice sought my execution
306
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,820
Thanks to the interventions of
307
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,280
the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager
308
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,360
that I escaped death
309
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:52,160
If you plan to use me as a means to retrieve His Highness…well
310
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,180
I doubt it possible
311
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,240
If it's not feasible, I'd kill you now and deal with them later
312
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,500
Yes, end him!
313
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:01,020
- Kill me? - Yep!
314
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,720
Go ahead. My wife, Qiu Gu, will collect my remains and bury me
315
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,680
What pains me is that
316
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,340
the 200,000 soldiers from Jingchu
317
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,040
will become lonely
and homeless souls here
318
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,320
General Gan, as the supreme commander of the entire army
319
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,920
you are responsible for the lives of the 200,000 soldiers of Jingchu
320
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,240
These soldiers should be heroes serving their country
321
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,960
and earning accolades on the battlefield
322
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,720
If they perish in internal conflict
323
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,000
they will be forever branded as rebels against the court
324
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,960
and their deaths will be meaningless
325
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,620
Lord Dongfang
326
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,600
can we find a way to settle this matter?
327
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,300
Of course
328
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,720
By taking a step back, we can ensure a positive outcome
329
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,000
As long as the Jingchu army pledges allegiance to His Majesty
330
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:06,760
you can enjoy freedom and pursue your dreams in the wide world
331
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,480
Generals, please express your thoughts
332
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,920
We all listen to you, General Gan
333
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,880
General Tai, what is your stance?
334
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,480
I am prepared to follow your plans in all matters
335
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:26,940
You!
336
00:19:28,380 --> 00:19:30,860
Well, take your time to discuss
337
00:19:30,860 --> 00:19:32,280
Take your time
338
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,100
Lord Dongfang
339
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,240
we can accept to pledge allegiance to the court
340
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,800
but only under certain conditions
341
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,100
Please elaborate, General Gan
342
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,000
Firstly, once the Jingchu army pledges allegiance to the court
343
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,720
His Majesty must not hold any soldier responsible for past actions
344
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,340
You were all kept in the dark, and that's only fair
345
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,260
Secondly
346
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,400
should any officer wish to leave
347
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,920
they must be allowed to do so without hindrance
348
00:20:06,340 --> 00:20:09,600
Sure, but they cannot take any soldiers with them
349
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,840
Lastly, the Jingchu army will follow the court's orders
350
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,340
but maintain its structure and leadership without arbitrary changes
351
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,100
I believe His Majesty would agree
352
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,160
If His Majesty can promise to do so
353
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,320
I am willing to accompany you to the capital to meet with His Majesty
354
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:40,900
Dongfang Shuo
355
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,920
they say you have
an extraordinary foresight
356
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,560
Didn't you anticipate that
357
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,960
Qiankunzi was also a pawn
358
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,400
I arranged in Jingchu?
359
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:55,640
I am not that insightful, and indeed, I didn't see it coming
360
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,280
However, Lord Qiankun's role this time is
361
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,040
undeniable and widely acknowledged
362
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,960
Yes, Qiankunzi deserves credit
363
00:21:07,420 --> 00:21:08,440
Your Majesty is right
364
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,720
Without Lord Qiankun
365
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,680
fanning the flames and instigating
366
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:13,900
Liu Hao
367
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,100
wouldn't have rebelled
368
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,300
If he didn't rebel
369
00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:23,720
there wouldn't be a reason for Your Majesty to deal with him
370
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,080
Dongfang Shuo, what are you implying?
371
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,760
Are you suggesting that I incited Liu Hao to rebel?
372
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,600
That's why I said Lord Qiankun has made a significant contribution!
373
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,100
No, both of you have jointly achieved great deeds
374
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,520
especially my dear Minister Dongfang, who has worked tirelessly
375
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:52,080
- You both deserve substantial rewards. - Thanks, Your Majesty
376
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,320
Your Majesty, I have a question that concerns your safety
377
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:02,540
Please go ahead
378
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,840
Does Your Majesty really intends to subdue the 200,000 Jingchu troops?
379
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,340
I have agreed to the three conditions proposed by General Gan Qi
380
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,080
and they have surrendered
381
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,160
Your Majesty, having spent many years in Jingchu
382
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,720
I know that Liu Shanshui and his son have deep roots in the region
383
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,800
The critical military leaders in the Jingchu army
384
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,040
are loyal followers of them
385
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,280
What are you trying to say?
386
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,600
I propose that Your Majesty, under the guise of bestowing, order
387
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,320
the major leaders of the Jing army into the city and capture them all
388
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,520
Once the army is leaderless, we can easily eradicate future troubles
389
00:22:49,860 --> 00:22:50,600
No
390
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,480
I intend to use these 200,000 troops
391
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,920
to eliminate the Xiongnu
392
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,160
As long as we remove their leaders
393
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,160
the soldiers are no longer a concern
394
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,280
We can disrupt their organization and scatter them among various camps
395
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,320
and they will still serve Your Majesty
396
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:12,800
- Your Majesty, please don't! - Why not?
397
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,480
I would like to ask
398
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,100
does Your Majesty only want to resolve the matter of Prince Jingchu
399
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,720
or do you want to address the affairs of all feudal lords?
400
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,200
Of course, the latter
401
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,440
In that case
402
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,040
I earnestly implore Your Majesty
403
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,280
not to believe Qiankunzi's nonsense
404
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,760
which could jeopardize Your Majesty's grand plans!
405
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,800
- Dongfang Shuo, why do you think I am talking nonsense? - You tell me
406
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,440
If you don't explain it now, you will have a big problem!
407
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,320
Your Majesty, please consider
408
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,520
If the news of the massacre of surrendered soldiers of Jingchu spreads
409
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,760
will any other prince dare to align with Your Majesty again?
410
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,960
Isn't this instigating them to oppose Your Majesty endlessly?
411
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,540
- Your Majesty! - Enough
412
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,440
Both of your intentions
413
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,400
are for the sake of my ruling, and you both deserve rewards
414
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,640
Dongfang Shuo, for your arduous efforts in eliminating the traitors
415
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,280
you deserve 1,000 taels of gold as reward
416
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,240
Also, Qiu Gu, for protecting me, she shall be rewarded with
417
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,440
- a yearly salary of 109,000 kilos of grains. - Thanks, Your Majesty
418
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,800
- You and Jing Kui are titled as Grand Master of the Palace. - Thanks
419
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,600
Zhang Tang will be reinstated as the Judicial Commissioner of Jinwu
420
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,880
All the leaders of the Jingchu army
421
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,680
will be promoted by one rank
422
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,160
Cut the crap. Let's start
423
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,920
Fight it is. How much is the wager?
424
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:38,940
Master!
425
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,800
Stop howling! Can't you see I'm busy? Get lost!
426
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,440
Master, His Lordship is looking for you
427
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:45,720
Tell him I'm not here, dead
428
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,080
- I say 500 taels of gold, dare you?
- Come on!
429
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,880
- Master, His Lordship is furious.
- Screw him!
430
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,640
- What's got him riled up? - I don't know
431
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,840
but he seems to be quite incensed
432
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,080
Hold on to this for me
433
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,280
I'll be back right away, okay?
434
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,580
Dad, did you call me?
435
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:15,540
I'm asking you
436
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,960
did you take the 1,000 taels of gold from your mom's room?
437
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:21,780
No, I didn't
438
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,220
It is unacceptable to lie!
439
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,960
How much did you lose in that cricket fight just now?
440
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:30,860
Tell me!
441
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,040
You're almost thirty
442
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,720
Why are you so immature?
443
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,400
Do you know
444
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,640
I needed those 1,000 taels for an important purpose?
445
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,400
Just to purchase a woman in the regions south of the Yangtze River?
446
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,240
Indeed
447
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,480
It's not for myself, but to offer her to His Majesty
448
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:50,980
Over these years
449
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,160
you've sent countless women into that palace, one after another
450
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,640
Yet His Majesty never rewards you with the position of prime minister
451
00:25:59,340 --> 00:26:00,100
You brat
452
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,600
how dare you speak to me with such disrespect? Kneel down!
453
00:26:05,340 --> 00:26:05,800
Kneel!
454
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:09,860
Guards!
455
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,480
Administer the domestic discipline and flog him accordingly!
456
00:26:17,340 --> 00:26:19,600
My Lord, Lord Qiankun is outside requesting an audience
457
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,600
- Bring him to the study. Tell him I'll be there shortly. - Understood
458
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,220
Lord Qiankun
459
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:09,940
sorry to keep you waiting
460
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,840
Duke Wang, you're finally here
461
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,400
Lord Qiankun, what brings you here?
462
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:23,440
His Majesty has appointed you as the ambassador to reward the troops
463
00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:24,900
What do you feel about it?
464
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,000
Who am I?
I'm His Majesty's maternal uncle!
465
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,200
Oh, Duke Wang
466
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,760
I don't know if you're really indifferent
467
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,480
or just pretending not to care
468
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,460
You
469
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,340
What do you mean?
470
00:27:46,740 --> 00:27:47,460
Last time, you asked me to
471
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,960
inform Liu Hao that you were ready to be his inside contact
472
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,080
- Don't you remember? - Are you… - No
473
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,720
Duke Wang, don't get me wrong
474
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,340
That's not what I mean
475
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:02,100
I intend to tell you that
476
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,720
when I reported that to Liu Hao
477
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,680
Dongfang Shuo sat beside him
478
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,400
How could you discuss such an important matter
479
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:20,200
in front of that guy?
480
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,040
But at that time, I didn't know
481
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,080
- he was a spy sent by His Majesty. - You
482
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:29,180
What should we do?
483
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:32,480
What can we do?
484
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,640
Lord Qiankun, please think of a solution for me
485
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,800
If you can get me through this
486
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,880
I'll show my gratitude
487
00:28:49,860 --> 00:28:50,580
Alright
488
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,560
Since you say so, this matter is easy to handle
489
00:28:57,260 --> 00:28:58,020
Duke Wang
490
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,680
about rewarding the Jingchu army, how are your preparations?
491
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,080
I can't delay His Majesty's command
492
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,760
but the newly surrendered Jingchu army is unstable in their morale
493
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,520
so I figure I should arrange it after they settle down
494
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,060
Duke Wang, what do you think
495
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,200
these 200,000 Jingchu troops
496
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,040
mean to Dongfang Shuo?
497
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,080
Well, they are like his living achievements
498
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,360
If such great achievements
are mishandled
499
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,680
they will become a huge bonfire
500
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:41,240
and burn Dongfang Shuo to ashes
501
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,600
You just said that the morale of the Jingchu army is unstable, right?
502
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,080
If we can manage to
503
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,080
make them feel constantly mistreated
504
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,240
many in the Jingchu army will likely start slacking off
505
00:29:54,580 --> 00:29:55,240
Once one person starts
506
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,640
it will infect many others
507
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,680
And eventually, it could lead to a mass desertion
508
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,320
It's better if they all run away clean!
509
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,400
No, when the time comes, we mustn't let them run
510
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:15,000
You should notify the commanders in Tongguan to catch deserters
511
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,060
and kill them all
512
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,120
But there are 200,000 of them! How can we catch and kill them all?
513
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,000
Duke Wang, it's not going to go that way
514
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,840
They won't sit idly
and will definitely fight back
515
00:30:32,060 --> 00:30:33,840
In that case
516
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,320
all 200,000 Jingchu troops
517
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,120
will become rebels
518
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,120
The living achievements
of Dongfang Shuo
519
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,480
will then go up in smoke
520
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,880
Better still
521
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:00,120
you can accuse him of colluding with Liu Nan in an attempt to rebel
522
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,760
and everyone will believe it
523
00:31:05,380 --> 00:31:06,900
Oh, Lord Qiankun
524
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:12,820
This way, please
525
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,440
Duke Wang, as soon as things get chaotic here
526
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,600
I'll immediately suggest His Majesty
527
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,320
to send Dongfang Shuo to negotiate in the Jingchu camp
528
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,840
My men in the Jingchu camp
529
00:31:26,860 --> 00:31:28,520
will end him there
530
00:31:31,460 --> 00:31:32,780
The crucial point is that
531
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,600
those dark secrets of yours
532
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:42,440
will vanish with Dongfang Shuo's demise
533
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,600
Greetings, Your Majesty
534
00:32:00,540 --> 00:32:01,260
Here you are
535
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:04,760
Did you verify
536
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,160
the situation with Prince Jingchu's family in his feudatory?
537
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,000
I have confirmed it
538
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:14,920
When Prince Jingchu heard the news of Liu Hao's failed rebellion
539
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,600
he killed his entire family and then took poison to end his own life
540
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,200
The bodies have all been inspected
541
00:32:27,900 --> 00:32:29,020
Prince Jingchu's clan
542
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,960
has been completely wiped out
543
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:36,220
Father!
544
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,980
You died so tragically!
545
00:32:43,580 --> 00:32:44,220
Your Highness
546
00:32:46,260 --> 00:32:47,140
please restrain your great grief
547
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,400
and care for your health
548
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,200
I'm on the verge of losing my life
549
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,280
What's the point of caring for my health?
550
00:32:59,900 --> 00:33:00,460
Your Highness
551
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,720
didn't Dongfang Shuo
promise to protect you?
552
00:33:05,180 --> 00:33:06,460
He has promised
553
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,200
so Your Highness would be safe
554
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,880
No eggs can remain unbroken when the nest is ruined
555
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,000
My whole family is gone
556
00:33:24,020 --> 00:33:26,020
How am I supposed to
557
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,600
live in dishonor all alone?
558
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,560
Your Highness, please don't think like that
559
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,000
You still have Dongfang Shuo
560
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,160
You two had an engagement
561
00:33:40,620 --> 00:33:41,460
Engagement?
562
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,720
Was it ever a valid?
563
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,400
At that time, everyone thought his wife
564
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,680
had been beheaded by His Majesty
565
00:33:58,380 --> 00:33:59,060
I never imagined that
566
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,200
they would conspire together
to deceive me
567
00:34:06,860 --> 00:34:07,620
Dongfang Shuo
568
00:34:11,700 --> 00:34:13,340
you've deceived me so ruthlessly!
569
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,480
Your Highness, I'll find Dongfang Shuo
570
00:34:19,220 --> 00:34:20,520
and ask him to fulfill your engagement
571
00:34:24,540 --> 00:34:25,100
Madam
572
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,700
I don't want to trouble you
573
00:34:31,460 --> 00:34:32,260
Your Highness!
574
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:45,980
Lord Dongfang!
575
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:48,680
Greetings, Lord Dongfang
576
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,520
Who are you?
What do you want from me?
577
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,560
A madam entrusted me to deliver something to you
578
00:34:58,580 --> 00:34:59,220
Thank you
579
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,160
Anyone who betrays Liu Nan is more despicable than pigs and dogs
580
00:35:28,940 --> 00:35:30,160
Your Majesty
581
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,320
I've made a list of those to be exterminated along with Prince Jingchu
582
00:35:33,340 --> 00:35:34,660
Your Majesty, please review it
583
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,480
I see Prince Hengshan, Prince Wu, and Prince Sanjiang
584
00:35:51,660 --> 00:35:52,340
Zhang Tang
585
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,480
why implicate so many royal princes?
586
00:35:58,700 --> 00:35:59,820
Your Majesty
587
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,640
we have not yet defeated the Xiongnu, our formidable enemies
588
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,700
So it's unwise to implicate so many people
589
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,000
for it might cause panic and chaos
590
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,200
Traitorous acts warrant the nine familial exterminations
591
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,760
which is stated explicitly in the laws of the Great Han
592
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,200
Lord Ming, I am just carrying out the laws
593
00:36:14,220 --> 00:36:17,600
- laid down by our forefathers.
- Stop arguing
594
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,840
Ministers, please share your opinions
595
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,360
I would love to hear different views
596
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:29,180
Your Majesty
597
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,760
I would like to review Lord Zhang's list, if I may
598
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,400
- Your Majesty, I have something to say. - Go ahead
599
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,700
Lord Zhang has committed high treason of deceiving Your Majesty
600
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,480
He's intentionally omitting those who should be implicated
601
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,080
The Empress Dowager is Prince Jingchu's sister-in-law
602
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,600
Grand Princess Pingyang is his niece
603
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,800
and Marquis of Guannei is his niece's husband
604
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,760
They are all Prince Jingchu's
close relatives
605
00:37:18,220 --> 00:37:21,920
However, Lord Zhang deliberately excludes them
606
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,840
because they are Your Majesty's closest families
607
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,800
It seems that Lord Zhang has made concessions
608
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,800
in his enforcement of the law!
609
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,780
- Dongfang Shuo. - At your service
610
00:37:32,060 --> 00:37:33,220
According to your perspective
611
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,700
should I also be implicated?
612
00:37:36,060 --> 00:37:38,800
No, Your Majesty is not included
613
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,160
Because Liu Hao's rebellion targeted Your Majesty directly
614
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,320
indicating he no longer considers Your Majesty
615
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:47,800
as his brother
616
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,800
In that case, it wouldn't make sense
617
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,880
to implicate Your Majesty
618
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,440
I excluded the Empress Dowager and Princess Pingyang
619
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,160
for the same reason
620
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:03,320
I hold that excluding His Majesty is fair and logical
621
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:04,500
But Lord Zhang's insistence on
622
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,680
excluding the Empress Dowager and Princess Pingyang
623
00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:10,120
is without any logical basis
624
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,280
The Empress Dowager is His Majesty's mother
625
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,320
and Grand Princess Pingyang is His Majesty's sister
626
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,560
But according
to Lord Zhang's perspective
627
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,640
Prince Hengshan is His Majesty's uncle
628
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,960
and his wife is His Majesty's aunt
629
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,560
Their relationship with Prince Jingchu
630
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,880
is the same as that between the Empress Dowager and Prince Jingchu!
631
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,440
Your Majesty, Dongfang Shuo makes a valid point
632
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,520
This case should not recklessly implicate others
633
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,760
Lord Ming, you misunderstood my intention, too
634
00:38:35,220 --> 00:38:37,680
I am not suggesting sparing anyone from implication
635
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,700
On the contrary, I propose Your Majesty
636
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,020
includes all those overlooked
by Lord Zhang
637
00:38:44,020 --> 00:38:45,800
- Dongfang Shuo. - Yes, Your Majesty
638
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,080
Are you suggesting I order the execution
639
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,840
of my own mother and sister?
640
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:52,220
Yes, Your Majesty
641
00:38:52,700 --> 00:38:55,700
I believe that, apart from Your Majesty
642
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,680
all Liu-surnamed nobles across the realm
643
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:02,200
should be entirely eradicated,
sparing none
644
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:03,460
How audacious!
645
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,440
Please don't get mad, Your Majesty, and allow me to explain
646
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,920
Your Majesty, since the founding of our dynasty by Emperor Gaozu
647
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,220
although several generations
have passed
648
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,280
yet all feudal lords and Prince Jingchu
649
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,080
have still been closely related
650
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,600
This rebellion by Liu Hao provides the perfect opportunity
651
00:39:21,740 --> 00:39:22,820
for a ruthless crackdown
652
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,080
Your Majesty should end them all and leave no one behind
653
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,560
kill until the ghosts wail
and the gods tremble
654
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,160
slaughter until corpses pile up and blood flows like a river
655
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,920
Henceforth, Your Majesty will be a genuine loner
656
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,220
and can sleep peacefully
657
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,120
comfortably, and carefree
658
00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:47,740
Fine
659
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,960
Dongfang Shuo,
I will approve your proposal
660
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,080
For the rebellion of Liu Hao, the Crown Prince of Jingchu
661
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,320
only his closest families will be exterminated as a punishment
662
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,360
Henceforth, all rebels will only receive the punishment of
663
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,700
exterminating their closest families and those who doesn't report
664
00:40:09,340 --> 00:40:10,740
From this day forward
665
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,480
the law of the nine familial exterminations will be annulled
666
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,840
Long may Your Majesty reign!
667
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,920
- You may all dismiss.
- Thanks, Your Majesty
668
00:40:29,420 --> 00:40:30,180
Wait!
669
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:32,860
Your Majesty!
670
00:40:33,940 --> 00:40:35,020
Do you have anything else to share?
671
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,840
One person should not be left out
672
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,220
She is one
of the closest families of Liu Hao
673
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,000
Lord Zhang,
who is this person you speak of?
674
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,480
Liu Nan. She is Liu Hao's sister and the Princess of Jingchu49682
