Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,600
What do you want to see your master for?
2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,040
I'd still like to ask him
3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,880
whether the Purple Regnal Star is genuine
4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,640
Even if you managed to ask him now, it's too late
5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,360
No it's not late, Your Majesty
6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,560
If that old frizzy hair was really speaking nonsense
7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,080
he owes me an indestructible diamond body
8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,040
so I can get through those fifty beatings
9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,680
You sure have guts
10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,640
Fancy dropping all courtesies toward your immortal master
11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,240
If he pranked me
12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,440
why should I be courteous with him, right?
13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,480
Of course, that rule doesn't apply to you, Your Majesty
14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,920
Zhang Tang
15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:54,760
Yes, Your Majesty
16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,000
Tell your charges to get ready
17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,800
Get the biggest plank there is
18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,440
Yes, Your Majesty
19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,280
Mr. Zhang
20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,240
Greetings, Your Majesty
21
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:16,240
- Take your seat. - Thank you, Your Majesty
22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,640
Your Majesty, it's already midnight
23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,320
My men
24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,440
since it's time
25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,360
- let's start stargazing. - Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty
26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,040
Where is Dongfang Shuo?
27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,960
His Majesty ordered Dongfang Shuo to come along
28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,360
Your Majesty
29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,400
- He fled away. - Fled away?
30
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,760
- Zhang Tang. - Yes, Your Majesty
31
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,240
Hunt him down. Bring him here as soon as you find him
32
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:54,680
Understood
33
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,400
Dongfang Shuo!
34
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,680
Mr. Zhang
35
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,720
You wanna run away?
36
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,760
Run away?
37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,200
Cut the crap! Get him!
38
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,200
Wait, who wants to run away?
39
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Come on!
40
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:17,440
Be gentle!
41
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,160
Your Majesty
42
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,720
I got Dongfang Shuo on his way to escape
43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,280
Your Majesty, I didn't! I didn't try to escape!
44
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,440
Then what were you trying to do?
45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,600
It was the sudden call of nature
46
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,240
I wanted to answer it in secret
47
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,720
while Mr. Zhang stopped me by force
48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,360
- So I… - Dongfang Shuo!
49
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,680
It's midnight, and where are your Purple Regnal Stars?
50
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,160
It's already midnight?
51
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,400
Yeah, it is
52
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,440
Mr. Dongfang
53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Is it?
54
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,600
- Then where are the Purple Regnal Stars? - Who are you asking?
55
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:48,040
You guys, of course!
56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,360
Have you seen the Purple Regnal Stars?
57
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,400
Dongfang Shuo, stop pretending!
58
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,800
Your Purple Regnal Stars
59
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,840
realized it was past midnight
60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,840
and all went back to sleep
61
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,600
No
62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,120
Purple Regnal Stars are not human. They don't need to sleep
63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,400
Stop playing the fool
64
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,800
Your Majesty, Dongfang Shuo has lost
65
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,280
- Please order Mr. Zhang to execute him right away. - Yes!
66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,480
- Dongfang Shuo. - Yes, Your Majesty
67
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,640
What else do you want to say?
68
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,480
Your Majesty, it's not time yet
69
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:22,360
It's already
70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,080
- past midnight! - No!
71
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,320
My master clearly told me
72
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,040
the Purple Regnal Stars would show up around midnight
73
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,320
Around midnight
74
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,920
means twelve o'clock to one o'clock
75
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,960
So, Your Majesty
76
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,920
so long as the Purple Regnal Stars appear before o'clock
77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,040
I shouldn't be counted as a loser
78
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,240
Your Majesty, he's trying to make an excuse
79
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,880
Dongfang Shuo
80
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,240
has got a point
81
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,080
Your Majesty, you are so biased in Dongfang Shuo's favor
82
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,080
- I think I should take my leave. - You can't go, High Priest
83
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,160
Your Majesty, an emperor is a man of his word
84
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,920
If you don't punish Dongfang Shuo
85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,160
I'm afraid the gods in heaven will sneer at us
86
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,560
hindering your great cause
87
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,440
Exactly, Your Majesty
88
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,440
I don't need your bullshit
89
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,680
- Zhang Tang. - At your command, Your Majesty
90
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,040
Guards! Hit him with boards!
91
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,800
Your Majesty, it's not time yet!
92
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:23,680
It's already past time
93
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,920
No!
94
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,080
Purple Regnal Star!
95
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,960
Look! A Purple Regnal Star is up there! Your Majesty!
96
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,000
- And there's one more in this direction! - Look, everybody!
97
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,200
The Purple Regnal Stars!
98
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,880
That way!
99
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,920
Look, Your Majesty! There's one up there!
100
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,640
- There! And also there! - Yes!
101
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,480
Come to take a look, Your Majesty!
102
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,800
Look, Your Majesty! The Purple Regnal Stars showed up!
103
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,000
They are coming down
104
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,600
Your Majesty, they are all coming down
105
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:11,880
Your Majesty
106
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,720
Well… My master, Taishang Laojun
107
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,240
must have forgotten to inform me of that
108
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,480
Your Majesty, this view is such an unprecedented blessing
109
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,360
It implies that
110
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,680
you are an unparalleled emperor of all time
111
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,360
Indeed…
112
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,320
Congratulations, Your Majesty
113
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,880
Hold on
114
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,880
Your Majesty, for what happened today
115
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,240
whether it's because Li Shaojun's master forgot it
116
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,720
or it's because something else went wrong
117
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,960
I won, anyway
118
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,960
- Yes, Dongfang Shuo won. - Thank you, Your Majesty
119
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:55,440
Mr. Zhang, aren't you supposed to punish and hit Li Shaojun?
120
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,600
- Guards! Hit him with boards! - Yes, sir! - Yes, sir
121
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Hold on, hold on!
122
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,720
Your Majesty, everybody
123
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,080
since Li Shaojun
124
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,560
has an unbreakable immortal body
125
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,440
that means
126
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,160
- no matter how hard you beat him, he won't feel pain. - Exactly
127
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,520
With his immortal body that doesn't feel pain
128
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,480
- he won't yowl for sure. - Exactly
129
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Mr. Zhang
130
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,200
when you hit Li Shaojun with boards later
131
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,000
what if he wails?
132
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,320
Then he's a fake!
133
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,360
Then what should Li Shaojun be convicted of if he's a fake immortal?
134
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,320
The capital crime of deceiving the Emperor
135
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,040
Your Majesty, High Priest Li missed this grand occasion
136
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,080
due to his master's negligence
137
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:52,280
Besides, the first three prophecies all came true
138
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,320
Could you please let it go this time?
139
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,200
You can let Li Shaojun make you a few batches of elixirs
140
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,760
- to make up for it. - Yes…
141
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,920
Qiankunzi! What the heck are you talking about?
142
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,760
Elixirs are elixirs, and bets are bets
143
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:07,680
It's not the same thing!
144
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,800
Dongfang Shuo!
145
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,440
Why don't you spare him instead of being so pushy?
146
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,800
Don't go to extremes
147
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,280
Fine
148
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,240
How about this?
149
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,800
Your Majesty, so long as Li Shaojun
150
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,240
is willing to admit that he's a fake immortal in public
151
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,360
and he came specifically to defraud the Emperor
152
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,720
I will let him go
153
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,000
As for how you will handle Mr. Li
154
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,760
it's up to you, Your Majesty
155
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,360
High Priest
156
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,920
did you hear what Dongfang Shuo said?
157
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,800
I did, Your Majesty
158
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,760
I am a genuine immortal
159
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,200
Mr. Zhang, do it!
160
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,040
- Guards! Give him 50 heavy strokes! - Yes, sir!
161
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,000
Hit!
162
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,000
One!
163
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,320
Two!
164
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,000
Three!
165
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,480
Four!
166
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,280
Five!
167
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:24,960
Six!
168
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,800
Seven!
169
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,480
Eight!
170
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,360
Nine!
171
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,080
Ten!
172
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:53,320
Your Majesty, Li Shaojun has fainted
173
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:54,920
Your Majesty
174
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,360
maybe Mr. Li enjoyed those strokes so much
175
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,440
that he fell asleep
176
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,520
How many strokes are left?
177
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,880
Your Majesty, there are 20 strokes to go
178
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,000
Your Majesty, shall we continue to hit him or not?
179
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,320
- Dongfang. - Yes, Your Majesty
180
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,080
You are the one who Li Shaojun made a bet with
181
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,120
What's your opinion?
182
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,720
Then…
183
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,320
- Stop hitting him. - You!
184
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,080
His Majesty was reluctant to kill Li Shaojun
185
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,200
If I forced His Majesty to put Li Shaojun to death in public
186
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,720
in the end, I would die
187
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,040
instead of him. Do you believe me?
188
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,640
I really don't understand His Majesty
189
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,320
Why does he keep
190
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:22,960
such a wicked man like Li Shaojun?
191
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:24,640
His Majesty uses people
192
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,360
based on their obedience and functions
193
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,280
What's the use of such an imposter like Li Shaojun?
194
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,800
Does His Majesty want him to keep making elixirs?
195
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,840
Not really
196
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,600
At present, His Majesty
197
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,840
is dying for immortality
198
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,920
He'd rather believe that Li Shaojun
199
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,760
is an immortal than doubt it
200
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,760
Then tell me about how Li Shaojun is doing now
201
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,480
Your Majesty, Li Shaojun has regained consciousness this morning
202
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,120
So he is really a fake immortal
203
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,400
He passed out just after a few strokes?
204
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,400
Your Majesty, I've asked Li Shaojun about it
205
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:12,560
He claimed that he wasn't knocked unconscious
206
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:15,160
Instead, his soul ascended to heaven
207
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,720
and he reported what happened last night to Taishang Laojun
208
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,680
Even if it's true
209
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,000
then what about those flying lit lanterns?
210
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,880
I carefully investigated those remaining bamboo frames
211
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,920
as well as that shredded fabric
212
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,920
I just thought it might be a lantern
213
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,560
So the next evening
214
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:36,920
I asked Jing Kui's disciples
215
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,640
ambush in the woods
216
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,080
who saw it clearly
217
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,160
- As expected, that was a lantern. - Lantern?
218
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,440
How could a lantern fly up to the sky?
219
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:47,440
I also couldn't
220
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:49,040
figure it out in the first place
221
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,360
But later, I just decided
222
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,000
to ask Mr. Jing to get that young sorcerer
223
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,920
who set off lanterns on the third night
224
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,040
That young sorcerer held an alternate lantern in his hands
225
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,200
I had some adept basket-makers
226
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,000
copy one in no time
227
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,000
Then I tried to set it off, it could really fly
228
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,120
Brother Gan, I held the lantern and observe
229
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,160
I immediately understood why
230
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,280
A normal lantern
231
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,800
has a hole in the top of it, right?
232
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,640
It's for ventilation. But the lantern made by Li Shaojun
233
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,520
blocked the hole thoroughly
234
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:18,800
And then they lit a candle
235
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,000
So inside the lantern was a huge billow of hot air
236
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,080
Heat is lighter than air
237
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,080
It's even lighter in cold air
238
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,160
So the lantern flew up
239
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,760
What a useless gimmick. Only His Majesty would be fooled
240
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,200
Not really
241
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,200
It can come in handy in war
242
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,280
Especially when we signal at night
243
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:40,080
it's much more useful than ignition
244
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,440
Your Majesty, what we saw the first three nights
245
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,360
was the real Purple Regnal Star
246
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,560
Only on the fourth night
247
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,600
Dongfang Shuo messed around with the flying lit lanterns
248
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:52,960
Dongfang Shuo is up to something, Your Majesty
249
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,160
Then what do you think he wants?
250
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,520
He wants to stop you from conquering the Xiongnu
251
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,160
and offering sacrifices to heaven and earth at Mount Tai
252
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:05,840
Qiankunzi
253
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,320
Yes, Your Majesty
254
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,640
According to what you just said
255
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,480
Li Shaojun didn't faint
256
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,920
during the beatings
257
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,440
but his soul went to heaven with his body left in the mortal world
258
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,520
This is good. You can spread this story
259
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,320
Understood
260
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:30,280
Besides
261
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,120
you should go back to tell Li Shaojun
262
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,920
to behave himself and make elixirs in the alchemy room
263
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,520
If Dongfang Shuo is indeed a young Chunyang Taoist immortal from heaven
264
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,320
Li Shaojun is no match for him
265
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:53,520
Understood
266
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,360
His Majesty is not a fool
267
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,600
He knows everything
268
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,280
But why didn't he do anything to Li Shaojun?
269
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,160
He protects Li Shaojun for his own safety
270
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,840
He has to continue to believe that Li Shaojun is a god
271
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,720
Otherwise, he'll lose his face
272
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:16,840
And also that Qiankunzi!
273
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:17,960
His Majesty should have known
274
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,640
that this rascal is stirring things up and deceiving him
275
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,160
You are wrong
276
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,320
Dongfang Shuo is absolutely loyal to His Majesty, isn't he?
277
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,080
But he's made too many achievements, tending to outshine who he works for
278
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,280
Seeing his amazing progress
279
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,200
of course, His Majesty would develop a fear of being unable to control him
280
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,880
A tiger, a king of the mountain, can't stand to be coveted by his own kind
281
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,120
So, the best solution
282
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,360
is to keep another beast
283
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,480
to fight the extra tiger
284
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:53,040
Qiankunzi is the beast raised by His Majesty
285
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,160
Your Majesty, Mr. Dongfang is here
286
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,320
Greetings, Your Majesty
287
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,000
You can fool the others with your tricks
288
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,280
but not me
289
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,960
- You are so wise, Your Majesty. - Of course I am
290
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,880
You've been showing respect for me
291
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,920
and making my way much easier
292
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,680
If I still didn't understand your kindness
293
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,400
I would literally be an incapable emperor!
294
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,120
Actually
295
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,040
you are the one who's really wise
296
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,640
You, Dongfang Shuo, a pretentious smarty
297
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,840
who can cause a stir easily
298
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,600
I'm guilty
299
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,600
You are guilty?
300
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,560
You are guilty as hell!
301
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:10,400
These days
302
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,600
I have taken quite a lot of Li Shaojun's elixirs
303
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,920
Now I can not only hear and see better
304
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,360
I feel even more
305
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,720
quick-witted than before
306
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,440
No one can get away with
307
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,840
playing tricks in front of me. No one
308
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,600
I'm sinful
309
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,720
Then do you know what punishment I want to give you?
310
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,480
Yes
311
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:46,600
Say it
312
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,680
Your Majesty, you want me to reconcile with Qiankunzi
313
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,200
and assist you to accomplish the great cause together
314
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,480
How do you know that I don't want to kill you?
315
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,440
Because
316
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,200
you still need me to do something
317
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,160
And also because when I came in
318
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,360
I saw Qiankunzi waiting out there, too
319
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,640
Your Majesty, Mr. Qiankun is here
320
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,880
Greetings, Your Majesty
321
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,960
- Rise, you two. - Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thank you, Your Majesty
322
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:51,880
Tell me which one of you is older
323
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:53,840
Your Majesty
324
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:56,600
Dongfang Shuo is the same age as me
325
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,040
He's just two months older
326
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,200
Good
327
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,560
You are fellow villagers
328
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,960
classmates, and colleagues at the imperial court of the same age
329
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,320
And both of you are my sidekicks
330
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,840
What a rare fate
331
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,000
But I just don't understand
332
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,320
You were supposed to be closer than friends
333
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,840
But why are you at daggers drawn with each other?
334
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:30,400
You make my imperial court
335
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,080
your ground to fight and corner each other
336
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,880
It's my fault. Please punish me, Your Majesty
337
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaking of punishment
338
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,720
given what you've done
339
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,000
even if I let Zhang Tang take you out
340
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,200
for execution without questioning or interrogating you
341
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,960
- it won't be a wrong conviction. - Yes, Your Majesty
342
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,920
- Get up first. - Thank you, Your Majesty
343
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,480
But I don't want to kill people
344
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,560
All I want is the national prosperity and peace
345
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,080
And you
346
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,600
should work together to help me with my great cause
347
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,280
I understand. I swear
348
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,840
I won't fight Dongfang Shuo ever again
349
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:29,360
Dongfang Shuo
350
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:31,920
what about you?
351
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,880
I will listen to you, Your Majesty
352
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:34,960
Good
353
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,480
Since the two of you have given me your word
354
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,400
I will spare you this time
355
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:43,840
But from now on
356
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,120
I will show no mercy on any one of you
357
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,200
who still acts like before
358
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,240
- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thank you, Your Majesty
359
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:55,920
Hurry!
360
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,200
You're so ungrateful
361
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,520
Our lord's got a crush on your sister
362
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,880
and wanted to make her his concubine
363
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:20,080
It's an unimaginably great blessing for her
364
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:22,320
How dare you turn him down?
365
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,400
What the hell does Zhang Jinshan think he is?
366
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:25,760
He's been using his filthy money
367
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,960
to collude with the local government and run roughshod in the village
368
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,560
An old jerk in his sixties
369
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,840
still sexually harasses women frequently
370
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,160
Guys!
371
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:34,720
Let's go!
372
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,520
Kill the man and take the girl alive
373
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,640
Stop!
374
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:42,640
How dare you hit me?
375
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:44,920
I did, so what?
376
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,400
Brat, don't run away if you've got the guts! Just you wait!
377
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,400
I will teach you a lesson later!
378
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,440
I'm Zhu Wan, and this is my younger sister, Zhu Wen
379
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,760
We live in the Zhu Mansion in Tianshui
380
00:20:57,360 --> 00:20:58,680
Our parents died when we were kids
381
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,360
My sister and I grew up together
382
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,480
That Zhang Jinshan is a bully in the county
383
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,040
He went to the village for an outing
384
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,960
and ran into Zhu Wen when she was washing clothes
385
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,600
And then he got someone asking my sister
386
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,200
to marry him and be his concubine
387
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:12,720
My sister said no
388
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:14,360
Then they tried to make it by force
389
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,320
I heard about that
390
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,960
and took my sister to run away overnight
391
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:20,920
Unexpectedly
392
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,720
they still caught up with us
393
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,120
But we were so lucky that you saved us
394
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,320
Otherwise, the two of us would have been murdered by them
395
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:31,840
Yes, you saved us
396
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,080
Could you please tell us what we should call you?
397
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,840
My name is Jing Kui
398
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,280
Just call me that
399
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,440
I don't mind
400
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,880
Come on, sis
401
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,640
Sir, please accept our kowtow of gratitude
402
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,000
It's okay. Don't mention it
403
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,520
- So what are your plans for the future? - We…
404
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,800
How about this?
405
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,120
You can come and lodge in my house for a few days
406
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:00,120
Take your time to work out a good plan. Alright?
407
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,840
Mr. Jing
408
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,520
please take us in
409
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,320
We're willing to follow you for the rest of our lives
410
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,680
Please, Mr. Jing
411
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,800
We have no other way out. Please take us in
412
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,120
OK
413
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,200
Your Majesty, here we go
414
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:20,680
Hold on
415
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,320
I summoned you today
416
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,800
- to amuse me. - Yes
417
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,360
However, I've been
418
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,960
feeling lost recently
419
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,840
So you must make me laugh today
420
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,360
Your Majesty, whether you will laugh or not
421
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,360
depends on my capabilities
422
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,480
as well as your cooperation
423
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,680
If you keep pulling a long face
424
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,120
even if I use every last one of my faculties
425
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,720
it won't work anyway
426
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,120
If I don't laugh, you should try everything to entertain me
427
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,120
and make me laugh
428
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:00,440
Well…
429
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,000
Then, Your Majesty, please spare me today
430
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,400
- I lost. - No way
431
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,720
Yi
432
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,520
Yes, Your Majesty
433
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,440
If Dongfang Shuo fails to make me laugh today
434
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,800
you can have his salary this month
435
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,560
Thank you, Your Majesty
436
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,480
No…
437
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,320
Your Majesty, my family is already running out of money
438
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:23,880
Your Majesty
439
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,840
what if I make you laugh today?
440
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,400
Then I will reward you with 100 taels of gold
441
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,720
Thank you, Your Majesty!
442
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,560
Your Majesty, you just smiled
443
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,760
Yeah, I did smile
444
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,680
But, Your Majesty, I noticed something just now
445
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,640
You laughed when you saw this face
446
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,520
And you stopped with your smile fading
447
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,160
when you saw this one
448
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,040
Why?
449
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,560
Because that long face is not funny
450
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,760
That's right
451
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,920
Didn't you just say
452
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:24,000
you always felt lost recently?
453
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,240
In my opinion
454
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,720
just because the imperial court
455
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,600
is awash with smiling faces like this
456
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,240
you feel uneasy at the sight of them
457
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,960
You are playing petty tricks again
458
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,040
I know what's on your mind
459
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:41,680
Do you plan to
460
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,080
recommend a straight-faced official to me again?
461
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,040
Your Majesty, there's no need for a new recommendation. We already have one
462
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,680
But you have banished him from the imperial court
463
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,000
- Do you mean Ming Fei? - Exactly
464
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,680
Ming Fei's face
465
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,800
is seven more annoying than the one in your hand
466
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,120
I can't believe he compared me to Qin Shi Huang
467
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,360
openly at the imperial court
468
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,680
- Your Majesty, he was right. - How dare you?
469
00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:17,480
Please calm down, Your Majesty
470
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,080
Your Majesty, please be calm
471
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,320
Let me explain it to you
472
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,360
Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne at a young age
473
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:28,480
having a hard time growing up under the pressure
474
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,800
from Lü Buwei and Queen Dowager Zhao
475
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,040
But he worked diligently and strived for success
476
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,520
Finally, one day, he brought down the Empress Dowager Zhao and Lü Buwei
477
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,040
And then, he successfully unified the six states
478
00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:42,680
to be the first Emperor
479
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,120
Your Majesty, in fact, many of your experiences
480
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,400
are similar to his
481
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,600
But Qin Shi Huang was a tyrant
482
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,920
The tyranny of the pseudo-Qin Dynasty is notorious
483
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,640
So the kingdom passed on to his heir was destroyed by our Emperor Gaozu
484
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,320
That's why Ming Fei's face
485
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,160
is a constant reminder to you
486
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,160
of being as ambitious
487
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,120
and perseverant as Qin Shi Huang
488
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,560
Instead of being
489
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:17,680
indulged in success and headstrong like him
490
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,520
It makes sense
491
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,360
- Yi. - Yes, Your Majesty
492
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,160
Give him a hundred taels of gold
493
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,880
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty
494
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,080
Your Majesty, the Xiongnu have successfully survived the famine
495
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,880
marching to our border south of the Gobi Desert
496
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,680
Please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Majesty
497
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,080
Your Majesty
498
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,120
it has been four years since the imperial court issued
499
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,280
the salt and iron monopoly system
500
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,360
Now we have a rich national treasury and a strong army
501
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,400
It's the best time to destroy the foreign threat and the Xiongnu for good
502
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,720
Therefore, I implore you to issue a decree
503
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,760
to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu
504
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,200
Your Majesty, I think
505
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,400
since the Xiongnu have the intention of attacking our border
506
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,000
we must fight head-on
507
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,680
However, it's an old way to fight when attacked
508
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,320
So we should work out a new strategy
509
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,040
to achieve our goal in one battle
510
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,360
What Wei Qing reported can be the main topic of today's discussion
511
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:33,680
Dongfang Shuo
512
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,520
His Majesty summoned Dongfang Shuo
513
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,760
Your Majesty, I guess Dongfang Shuo is feeling under the weather
514
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,160
and taking the day off
515
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,400
Your Majesty!
516
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:15,840
Greetings, Your Majesty
517
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,120
Zhang Qian!
518
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:07,760
Zhang Qian…
519
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,040
Your Majesty
520
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,800
You are finally back, Zhang Qian
521
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,920
Your Majesty, I got back too late
522
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,840
It's been over a decade
523
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,560
I thought you were long gone
524
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,000
I didn't expect that
525
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,120
You'd still keep your promise
526
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,440
You're such a loyal official
527
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,360
After I escaped from the Xiongnu
528
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,920
to fulfill your mission
529
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,160
Tangyi Fu and I
530
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,920
tried hard to make our way to the states west of the Xiongnu
531
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,360
including Kangju, the Greater Yuezhi, and Dayuan
532
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,120
Have you met the kings of these small states?
533
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,120
Although the two of us brought nothing
534
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:00,960
but our horses
535
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,360
the states of the Western Regions
536
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,440
all treated us, the envoys from the Great Han, with respect
537
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,800
Especially the Greater Yuezhi
538
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,960
Their king is a woman
539
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,360
They have long been fed up with the oppression of the Xiongnu
540
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,920
Hearing that we'd like to join hands with them to attack the Xiongnu
541
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,600
- she couldn't be more delighted. - Good
542
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,440
Then, Mr. Zhang, apart from the Greater Yuezhi
543
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,120
have you been anywhere else?
544
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,240
We've also been to Dayuan to the west of the Greater Yuezhi
545
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:28,880
where they breed abundant steeds
546
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,680
Their king also gave us two horses
547
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,040
Tangyi Fu and I rode the horses and returned in one month
548
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,000
Mr. Zhang, where are the horses? Where are they now?
549
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,760
General Wei once worked as a groom
550
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,560
No wonder he's so excited when it comes to horses
551
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,040
You are right, Mr. Qiankun
552
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,400
I grew up as a slave raising horses
553
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,440
- I never thought about hiding it. - Yeah
554
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,760
Mr. Wei would rather be friends with a nice horse
555
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,440
than mess with those unscrupulous gits
556
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,440
What are you two talking about?
557
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,080
We're joking
558
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:07,480
Just kidding
559
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,200
Come on, Qubing
560
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,760
Qubing, you've finished your meal?
561
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,000
Yes, Godmother
562
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:18,720
Take your seat
563
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,520
OK
564
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,320
let's continue
565
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,040
If His Majesty asks you
566
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,040
how would you answer him?
567
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,320
What would you do, Godfather?
568
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,320
I'm asking you
569
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,640
I'm trying to impress His Majesty with you
570
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,160
This time, I am going to
571
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,600
make His Majesty appoint you as Vanguard General
572
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,200
Well, Godfather
573
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,840
Why do the Xiongnu always attack us?
574
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,560
Because we have fixed cities
575
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,240
They are fixed targets
576
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,720
Then don't the Xiongnu have a fixed lair
577
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,400
They do. Their capital is in the north of the Gobi Desert
578
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,920
Exactly! Why can't we split up
579
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,040
to attack head-on in one direction
580
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,800
and bypass all the way to attack its lair directly in another
581
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,400
striking a fatal blow to their heart?
582
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,640
- Greetings, Your Majesty. - Greetings, Your Majesty
583
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,400
- Rise and sit down. - Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thank you, Your Majesty
584
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,520
Well
585
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,160
Wei Qing made a good point at the imperial court yesterday
586
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:43,720
We should conquer the Xiongnu
587
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,920
not only by the old way of rolling with the punches
588
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,960
There should be a brand-new strategy to win by surprise
589
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,880
And you are my brain trust
590
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,800
I'd like to know
591
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,680
if there are any brilliant plans you've worked out for me
592
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:00,400
Your Majesty
593
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,200
Zhang Qian's return is so exhilarating
594
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,920
And I'm also glad to hear that you are about to send our soldiers to war
595
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:14,520
I couldn't be happier that you wanted me to put forward good plans
596
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,720
Cut the crap. Just tell me your plan
597
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,080
Your Majesty, my godson, General Huo Qubing
598
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,320
has come up with a plan for you
599
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:26,440
Tell me about it
600
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:28,960
Yes, Your Majesty
601
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,160
Your Majesty, here's my plan
602
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,440
Since Zhang Qian and Tangyi Fu
603
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,200
are familiar with the terrains in the Western Regions
604
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,320
then we can split the Great Han Army in two
605
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,520
for a two-way attack
606
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,560
Wait, why do you mean by "two-way attack"?
607
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:45,360
Let me explain, Your Majesty
608
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,680
One force shall go all the way north from Daizhou
609
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,800
To fight the Xiongnu head-on
610
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,280
Use the formation of Spiked Wagons to fight steadily
611
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,800
and advance step by step, day by day
612
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,160
The other troop shall pass through Hexi Corridor in secret
613
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,040
and turn around in the Western Regions
614
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,280
to show up behind the Xiongnu all of a sudden
615
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,120
Caught in a two-pronged attack, the Xiongnu will surely be in disarray
616
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,600
Our Han Army can win a complete victory in this way
617
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,360
Your Majesty, it is such a brilliant idea!
618
00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:22,680
Marvelous
619
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,760
We have been racking our brains for days with no letup
620
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,360
while we failed to come up with any ideas
621
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,960
Your idea is so enlightening, Your Majesty!
622
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,000
All the civil and military officials together are no match for you at all
623
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,960
- Your Majesty! You are such an insightful and great Emperor! - Indeed!
624
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:41,720
This is
625
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,600
such an unprecedentedly smart plan!
626
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,920
Your Majesty, I'd like to pay homage to you
627
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,480
and express my gratitude for the great grace of your teaching!
628
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:57,360
All right
629
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,520
Everyone
630
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,600
since you have no objection to my plan
631
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,560
Then that's it
632
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,200
the whole state shall fight to get rid of the Xiongnu and border threats
633
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,800
- You are so wise, Your Majesty! - You are so wise, Your Majesty!
634
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,200
Mr. Qiankun, you took credit for someone else's work
635
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:21,600
in such a clever and secret way
636
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,400
and accredited this strategy to His Majesty
637
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,600
Did you see Dongfang Shuo's depressed face?
638
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,680
He must feel pretty bad
639
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,880
But Dongfang Shuo won't die of wrath
640
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,280
How is your arrangement going?
641
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,560
It's going smoothly
642
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,080
The two of them have completely won Jing Kui's trust
643
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,920
- and become his trusted men. - Nice!
644
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:49,880
And this time
645
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,240
we can take advantage of His Majesty's troops
646
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,800
The time we've been waiting for has come
647
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,120
I will definitely make Dongfang Shuo…
648
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:00,440
My lord
649
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,080
- My lord. - What's the matter?
650
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,760
I was searching everywhere for you
651
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,400
Don't you see me drinking with Defender-in-chief now?
652
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,720
My lord, Mr. Yang has passed on a decree
653
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,680
His Majesty is summoning you
654
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,960
I summoned you here to ask
655
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,680
for your opinion on the candidates for the Grand Herald
656
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,360
I guess
657
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,280
you want to appoint Dongfang Shuo. Am I right, Your Majesty?
658
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,560
How do you know I will appoint Dongfang Shuo?
659
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:35,600
Your Majesty!
660
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,720
If Dongfang Shuo is not considered as one of the leaders of the army
661
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:38,560
I have nothing else to say
662
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,640
But if you've thought about using him
663
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,600
with all due respect, I have a suggestion for you, Your Majesty
664
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:44,920
Go ahead
665
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,240
I have heard Dongfang Shuo spreading the word
666
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,880
that he's bound to be the Grand Herald on this expedition
667
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,440
Why is he so sure?
668
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,680
He claimed to be the actual designer of that brilliant plan
669
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:58,800
and said only he
670
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,840
could command the 200,000 former Jingchu soldiers
671
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,480
Did he really say that?
672
00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:06,640
Yes, Your Majesty…
673
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,800
Of course, Your Majesty, if you ask him
674
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,160
he won't admit it for sure
675
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,720
This git is no more than a backstabber
676
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,880
So I think
677
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,760
you can't let Dongfang Shuo take command no matter what
678
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,880
However, these 200,000 Jingchu soldiers
679
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,400
have to be led by Princess Liu Nan
680
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:30,640
Why?
681
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:31,320
For one thing
682
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,800
Princess Liu Nan is the former leader of the Jingchu Army
683
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,240
They trust her
684
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,640
This is conducive to her command and control
685
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:39,560
For another
686
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,760
Princess Liu Nan is your cousin
687
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,120
The bloodline is unbreakable
688
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,160
You're family after all
689
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,200
So it is safe for you and the kingdom
690
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:58,040
Of course, Princess Liu Nan is Dongfang Shuo's second wife
691
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:00,280
So for absolute safety
692
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,000
you must send an army supervisor
693
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,480
to Princess Liu Nan
694
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,000
to keep an eye on those unruly Jingchu soldiers
695
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,680
On this expedition, who do you think
696
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,040
can be the commander-in-chief except me?
697
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,320
Your sworn brother, Wei Qing
698
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,440
Marquis of Guannei, Wei Qing
699
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,680
I thought you wanted to be it yourself
700
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:34,080
Yeah
701
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,600
I've been longing for it for years
702
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,200
But His Majesty
703
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,640
won't rest assured if I lead this army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers
704
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,080
You are killing the enemy for His Majesty!
705
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,680
But His Majesty will ask
706
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,040
Dongfang Shuo!
707
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,240
Tell me!
708
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,960
Do you want to do meritorious deeds at the front line
709
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,400
to pave your way to the position of Prime Minister?
710
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:57,520
What's wrong with that?
711
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,080
Why can't you be the Prime Minister?
712
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,640
He is the Emperor
713
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,200
He can also be narrow-minded sometimes
714
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,960
Even if I can't be the Grand Herald this time
715
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,240
At least I'm qualified to be the military advisor, right?
716
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:26,000
Listen to my order, Wei Qing
717
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:28,800
Yes, Your Majesty
718
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,520
I appoint you as Grand Herald
719
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,400
You shall lead the five generals
720
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,280
including Li Guang, Su Jian, Jing Kui, Gan Qi, and Zhao Cigong
721
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,240
as well as the 200,000 soldiers to march northward
722
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:39,640
and fight the main Xiongnu force
723
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,360
Yes, Your Majesty
724
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:43,520
Huo Qubing
725
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:45,680
Yes, Your Majesty
726
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,080
I appoint you as West Vanguard
727
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,800
You shall lead 100,000 elite warriors
728
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,400
and the four generals including Gan Fu, Tai Xiao, Zhang Qian, and Tangyi Fu
729
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,960
to set off from Hexi, go through the Western Regions
