1
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,200
Mr. Jing, I hope that you are well
2
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,080
You traitorous scoundrel, finally caught in the trap!
3
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,200
You shameless rat!
4
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:36,480
Take him away!
5
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,880
Dongfang Shuo
6
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,760
are you planning to
7
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,880
kneel like this all night?
8
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:48,760
I'm just
9
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,920
waiting for a word from Your Majesty
10
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,720
You call this waiting?
11
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,000
You're making a scene. You're protesting!
12
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,120
I dare not
13
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,680
I have stated everything I wanted to
14
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,360
express to Your Majesty moments ago
15
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:13,600
Indeed
16
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,360
he once helped eliminate the Dou clan
17
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,560
and led his disciples to fight in battles against the Xiongnu
18
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,240
But I also rewarded him!
19
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,360
He never appreciated it!
20
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,120
Sure, he is meritorious
21
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,200
But that doesn't mean he can mobilize against the authorities
22
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,240
But, Your Majesty
23
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,080
hasn't this matter already
been investigated?
24
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,360
Someone deliberately set him up
25
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,760
As an imperial official
26
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,440
Jing Kui admonished Your Majesty for the turmoil
27
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,040
caused by the collection of vehicles, which showed his loyalty
28
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:02,800
Of course, it was Your Majesty's decree, and I dare not criticize it
29
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,080
But even if Jing Kui has a different opinion
30
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,840
he shouldn't end up on the national wanted list and being beheaded
31
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,680
So, what do you think I should do to handle this matter?
32
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,400
I implore Your Majesty to issue a decree immediately to release him
33
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,360
By doing so, Your Majesty will appease and win over people's hearts
34
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,720
And when the country encounters difficulties someday
35
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,880
as long as Your Majesty calls
36
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,600
there will still be many heroes like Jing Kui
37
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,200
who will step forward to serve with loyalty
38
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:49,520
Secondly
39
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,440
it will demonstrate Your Majesty's
40
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,840
broad-mindedness
and infinite graciousness!
41
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,720
Very well. Tomorrow
42
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,600
Tomorrow in court, I'll settle this down
43
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,800
Get up now
44
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,840
You don't expect me to issue a decree in the dead of night now, right?
45
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,560
I dare now
46
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,160
Sincerely, may Your Majesty live and reign long!
47
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,320
I'm tired
48
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,600
You may leave
49
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:52,200
Thank you for Your Majesty's great favor
50
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,600
I take my leave now
51
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:11,840
Your Majesty
52
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,960
Your Majesty
53
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,800
Your Majesty,
you can't spare Jing Kui's life!
54
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,520
If Your Majesty pardons Jing Kui
55
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,920
and releases him back into society
56
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,680
it's like setting a tiger free, which will invite endless troubles
57
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,440
What are you doing? Are you trying to compel me?
58
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,560
I am well aware that
59
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,880
Jing Kui is a potential threat
60
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,440
Initially, I gave him a position in the court
61
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,840
to keep him in check
62
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,280
and prevent him from stirring up trouble among the people
63
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,880
Sage Li Shaojun once made an enlightening remark
64
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,760
In today's world
65
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,520
there are two Emperors
66
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:19,920
One is me
67
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,080
the Emperor in the palace
68
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,520
The other is Jing Kui
69
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,920
the Emperor among the people!
70
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,120
Your Majesty!
71
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,640
Your Majesty,
it's time for you to take the elixir
72
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,120
Your Majesty, please
73
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,840
Your Majesty, starting tonight
74
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,240
you need to start another seclusion in the Alchemy Chamber
75
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,960
- How many days will it take this time? - At least five days
76
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,480
- Servants. - At your service
77
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,200
Spread my order. Starting tomorrow
78
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,120
I will be in seclusion in the Alchemy Chamber for five days
79
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,320
and no one can disturb me
80
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,680
- Violators shall be executed.
- Understood
81
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,280
Your Majesty?
82
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,720
Both of you may take your leave now
83
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,720
- Understood. I'll excuse myself. - I'll take my leave
84
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:58,000
Mr. Jing, they said you're the Emperor of the underworld
85
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,480
You don't look like much to me
86
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,440
His Majesty gave me a five-day deadline to catch you
87
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,240
and on the very first day, you've walked right into the trap!
88
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,160
Listen carefully, Jing Kui!
89
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,360
You're already at death's door
90
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:19,000
and no one can save you
91
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:24,440
Decide how you want to die.
I'll grant you that
92
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,400
You two are pretty complacent
93
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,200
Well, let me tell you
94
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,040
I am tough
95
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:33,920
Even if I'm going to die
96
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,400
I'll take a few people down with me
97
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,160
You, the damned intriguers bringing calamity to the country and people
98
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,280
deserve to die thousands of times
99
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,360
Yeah, I am taking you two down with me
100
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,720
If you don't believe it, just wait!
101
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,000
Damn it, I'll kill you!
102
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,440
Just wait
for your impending death penalty!
103
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,640
I'm waiting!
104
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,280
- Who else came today? - Lord Dongfang came
105
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,080
What did he come for?
106
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:28,080
He just came to check on that prisoner and left
107
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:42,280
Take this
108
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,320
You don't have to check. It's all gold inside, all for you
109
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,160
Well… what can I do to assist you?
110
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,840
Put this in his food
111
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,560
Sir, that prisoner hasn't eaten since he arrived yesterday
112
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:13,600
What about water? He can't go without water, right?
113
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,960
- Yes, he drank water. - Put it in
114
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,440
Lord Qiankun, let's go
115
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,840
They're lower than the animals!
116
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,080
Lord Wei
117
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,560
even if I have to die in front of His Majesty today
118
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,640
I must strongly advise His Majesty to release Jing Kui immediately
119
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,200
Lord Ming, there's no need for you to intervene
120
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,040
Let me go and plead with His Majesty
121
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:51,400
No, it's my duty as a censor
122
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,560
Guys, don't argue. Let me handle this!
123
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Even if His Majesty kills me
124
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,960
it will cost only the death of a roughneck
125
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,480
You are more valuable than me
126
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,200
Your Excellencies
127
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,440
what are you doing here?
128
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,360
I, Wei Qing, and two other of His Majesty's servants seek an audience
129
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:09,920
Your Excellencies, please go home
130
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:11,520
Chamberlain Yang, what do you mean?
131
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:13,840
These days
132
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,360
Li Shaojun has kept His Majesty in the Alchemy Chamber
133
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,000
passing on knowledge
of attaining immortality
134
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,760
When will His Majesty come out?
135
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,480
Uncertain. I asked Li Shaojun's disciple
136
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,280
and he said his master mentioned it would take at least five days
137
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,560
- He's doing this on purpose! - I'll break in!
138
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:30,720
Hold on, General Gan
139
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,320
His Majesty decreed that
140
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,240
trespassers would
be executed without mercy
141
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,000
Even Her Highness the Empress
142
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,720
- cannot enter without permission. - Well
143
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Come on, cheers!
144
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,240
How dare you?
145
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,560
- How dare you drink on duty? - I am sorry
146
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,440
Greetings, General Wei and General Gan
147
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,200
- Go and open Lord Jing's cell. - Yes, sir
148
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:09,680
Don't worry
149
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,120
If anyone asks
150
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,200
say that Princess Pingyang took away Lord Jing
151
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,360
and will return him in five days
152
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,560
Understand?
153
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:22,760
Understood
154
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,640
Greetings, Your Highness
155
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,120
Careful
156
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,160
I sincerely appreciate
Your Highness's rescue
157
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,160
Let's go
158
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,800
Mr. Jing!
159
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,520
Mr. Jing!
160
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,280
Mr. Jing, what's wrong with you?
161
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,080
Qiankunzi and Wang Huai'e poisoned me!
162
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:50,040
What? Damn it!
163
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,560
- Mr. Jing! - No. There's no time
164
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,040
Let me… let me talk to Brother Dongfang
165
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:05,400
Mr. Jing
166
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,200
Tell Luo Qi that
167
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,280
I owe her a lot
168
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,040
in this life
169
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,040
and I'll repay her
170
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,080
in the next
171
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,080
Tell her to live it up
172
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,800
And
173
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,200
And my son
174
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,240
From now on, his surname should be Dongfang
175
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:46,920
Surname
176
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:56,720
Surname, Dongfang!
177
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,520
No!
178
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Jing Kui, as a court official, had his shortcomings
179
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,480
And he is indeed way too stubborn
180
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,600
However, his loyalty and righteousness were unparalleled
181
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,000
In crucial moments, he stepped forward
182
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,680
annihilating the Dou clan, capturing Liu Hao, and fighting the Xiongnu
183
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,200
He risked his life and fought bravely
184
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,360
He was a rare, kind, and upright man of our Great Han
185
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,960
I tracked him back this time
186
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,360
because I wanted him to continue to serve the country
187
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,320
Yet
188
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,840
you have defied my earnest intentions
189
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,000
and forced this loyal man to his death!
190
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:55,200
You have truly disappointed me!
191
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,440
We are now aware of our guilt
192
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,040
I decree a one-year salary suspension
193
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,280
and three-month confinement to reflect on your misdeeds
194
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,720
Yes, Your Majesty
195
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,840
Your Majesty, I have something to say
196
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:28,160
Minister Dongfang, please express your thoughts
197
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:29,360
I think
198
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:36,840
the punishment for Qiankunzi and Wang Huai'e is excessive
199
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,440
For these two
200
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,720
miserly, avaricious
201
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,400
profit-oriented, and base persons
202
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,200
fining them months of salary
203
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,160
is more heartbreaking for them
204
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,640
than destroying their ancestral graves
205
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,080
So, Minister Dongfang
206
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,960
what would be the lighter
207
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,880
more appropriate punishment for them?
208
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:15,720
Your Majesty
209
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,920
Jing Kui's wife and son are now missing
210
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,120
and there is no one to hold his memorial tablet at the funeral
211
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,480
Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to restore their salaries
212
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,640
Instead, penalize them by having them act as Jing Kui's sons
213
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,920
mourning, wearing weeds and holding the memorial tablet in the funeral
214
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,880
Good. I approve
215
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,880
On behalf of the late Mr. Jing
216
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,080
I extend gratitude to Your Majesty
217
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,880
After enduring such a humiliating insult
218
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,400
how can you still be in the mood to drink?
219
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,400
This is far from the humiliation
220
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,760
that Han Xin once endured
221
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:27,920
I can't bear it!
222
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:30,960
I just can't understand!
223
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,200
His Majesty despises Jing Kui so much
224
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,560
and always wants to tear him apart
225
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,080
But after we killed him
226
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:38,680
His Majesty backed out
227
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,800
His Majesty simply
wants to get rid of Mr. Jing
228
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,320
without bearing infamy for killing a meritorious general
229
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,600
His Majesty can also appease the public and win their support
230
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,480
Yeah
231
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,320
If Jing Kui's disciples stir up a disturbance
232
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,040
it will be a huge trouble
233
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:03,160
I see
234
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,600
His Majesty is using that two bastards as scapegoats
235
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,640
What's the big deal
about being scapegoats?
236
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,560
Others wouldn't have the chance even if they wanted to
237
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,200
Think about who we're taking the blame for
238
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,960
We're the scapegoats of His Majesty!
239
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,240
I can't accept this
240
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,160
His Majesty is clearly taking Dongfang Shuo's side by doing so!
241
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,040
Don't be such a fool
242
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,600
His Majesty clearly
243
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,920
regards us as
his most important confidants
244
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:37,320
His Majesty
will compensate us handsomely
245
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,880
for the grievances this time
246
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,520
Only making them mourn for Jing Kui
247
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,160
is way too lenient!
248
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,200
It's a hopeless situation
249
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,280
This is as far as we can let off steam
250
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,760
I just can't wrap my head around it
251
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,320
If the Emperor knows these two are evil
252
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,880
why not just eliminate them?
253
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,600
Shuo already explained this to us
254
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,920
Keeping the treacherous officials to hold the loyal ones in play
255
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,120
Keeping the loyal officials to deter the treacherous ones
256
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:14,360
His Majesty is getting more
and more cunning
257
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,600
The matter concerning Jing Kui is over
258
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,160
Ministers
259
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,840
please express your thoughts
260
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,680
on the future plans for our nation
261
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,000
Your Majesty
262
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,640
the conquest of the Xiongnu and the unification of the country make
263
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,600
your military and political achievements outshine the sun and moon
264
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:48,360
So, I request Your Majesty to offer sacrifices to heaven on Mount Tai
265
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,640
and erect monuments
266
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,400
to commemorate your great deeds for generations to come
267
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,080
This is very much to my liking
268
00:22:58,920 --> 00:22:59,960
Ministers
269
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,920
offering sacrifices to heaven on Mount Tai is not only about me
270
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,320
but about memorializing the enduring contributions of each of you
271
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,520
The prosperity of our Great Han today
272
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,160
owes much to the significant efforts
273
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,920
of every minister present
274
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,240
Your Majesty
truly possesses keen judgment
275
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Your Majesty, I suggest that
276
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,080
the scale of this sacrificial ceremony shall surpass all previous ones
277
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:34,800
to demonstrate the grandeur and prestige of Your Majesty
278
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,320
Your Majesty!
279
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:40,560
Your Majesty
280
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,440
this imperial sacrificial ceremony dates back to the times of Shun
281
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,440
But Shun merely
282
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,000
lit a large fire near the Gongbei Stone
283
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,600
at the summit of Mount Tai to communicate with the heavens
284
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,600
seeking divine protection. Although subsequent rulers
285
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,800
expanded this ceremony's scale
286
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,440
they all kept it in a reasonable range
287
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,000
Only Qin Shi Huang
288
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,920
expanded it so relentlessly that a single ceremony
289
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,680
cost as much as ten years of the country's tax revenues
290
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,960
Instead of gaining divine favor, Qin Shi Huang incurred heavenly wrath
291
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,920
and public resentment, leading to disastrous consequences
292
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:13,960
Therefore
293
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,680
this sacrificial ceremony on Mount Tai
294
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,440
should be controlled in scale
295
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,800
lest we follow the disastrous path of Qin Shi Huang
296
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,920
Your Majesty, I find Ming Fei's words unacceptable
297
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaking only of
298
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,800
political and military accomplishments
299
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,240
His Majesty is the most unprecedented of all rulers
300
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,640
So, the scale of this ceremony
301
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,280
must surpass all previous ones
302
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,440
to highlight that His Majesty
303
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,360
is an unmatched ruler throughout history!
304
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:44,880
Your Majesty!
305
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,280
Your Majesty,
Lord Ming Fei's advice is sound
306
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,240
Shun only lit a fire
307
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,040
yet ushered in an era of peace that resonates through the ages
308
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,840
On the other hand, Qin Shi Huang exhausted all resources
309
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,480
only resulted in national collapse and everlasting infamy
310
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,560
Your Majesty, which path will you choose to follow?
311
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,680
Your Majesty is an unprecedented sage Emperor
312
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,080
and the reincarnation of the celestial red dragon
313
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,680
Your Majesty needs not to emulate any predecessors
314
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:14,880
Your Majesty only needs to
315
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,640
leave imperishable and unrivaled feat for future generations to admire
316
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,600
Qiankunzi
317
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,920
you pull the wool over His Majesty's eyes, spew misleading words and
318
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:29,120
- instigate His Majesty to squander. What are your intentions? - You
319
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:29,880
Dongfang Shuo
320
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,400
you accuse Qiankunzi of
321
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,720
deceiving me
and spewing misleading words
322
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,320
What do you take me for?
323
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:41,480
Do you think I am a gullible
and fatuous ruler?
324
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,200
Your Majesty,
Lord Dongfang makes sense
325
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,840
When the ruler is close to virtuous advisors, prosperity prevails
326
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,680
When the ruler is surrounded by the wicked, chaos ensues
327
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,520
- This is an immutable truth of all times! - Very well
328
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:56,840
Then let me ask you
329
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,600
is Great Han currently flourishing or in disarray?
330
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,760
Winning is hard, but governing is harder
331
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:09,360
Your Majesty has just created a favorable situation
332
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:11,880
yet you indulge complacently, refuse to progress
333
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,560
and even keep sycophants as confidants, pay no heed to reality
334
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,400
lend credence to superstition, and squander the nation's resources
335
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,720
If things go on like this, the current peace and prosperity won't last
336
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:21,800
Ming Fei
337
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,480
how dare you curse the longevity of our nation and my reign!
338
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,760
If Your Majesty not come to senses, you'll surely suffer the backfire
339
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,960
Ming Fei curses Your Majesty and deserves to die thousands of times!
340
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,520
I care not for my life
341
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,880
All I care about is the prosperous era His Majesty has just initiated
342
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,680
which, unfortunately, will be ruined by you traitorous villains
343
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,680
You will stand condemned through
the ages!
344
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,040
How audacious, Ming Fei!
345
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,600
You shall not be so arrogant in the court!
346
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,600
- I will not spare you! Guards!
- At your service
347
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,800
- Behead Ming Fei!
- Your Majesty! - Shut up!
348
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,360
If you speak in favor of Ming Fei
349
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,200
I will behead you as well!
350
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,560
Your Majesty!
351
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,680
Come to your senses!
352
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:25,200
Take him out! Behead him!
353
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:27,720
Your Majesty!
354
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,960
I fear not death!
355
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,280
I'll die admonishing Your Majesty!
356
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,440
Lord Ming! Lord Ming!
357
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,800
Lord Ming!
358
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:10,800
Your Majesty
359
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,520
Where is Sage Li?
360
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,440
Your Majesty, Master went out to gather herbs
361
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,600
and hasn't returned yet
362
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,400
Gathering herbs? Where did he go to gather herbs?
363
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,520
I don't know, Master didn't say
364
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,280
Your Majesty, you're here. Greetings, Your Majesty
365
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,400
- You're back, Sage Li. - Yes
366
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:36,840
Your Majesty
367
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,160
about your inquiry yesterday
368
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,640
- I was just about to report the answer to Your Majesty. - Wait
369
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:52,520
Go on
370
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,880
I communicated
with the heavens last night
371
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,720
and reported Your Majesty's situation to Taishang Laojun
372
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,880
Upon hearing that Dongfang Shuo
373
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,640
was obstructing the grand sacrificial ceremony of Your Majesty
374
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,640
he immediately reported it
to Jade Emperor
375
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,200
What did the Jade Emperor say?
376
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,000
The Jade Emperor was furious and immediately summoned
377
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,840
the God of Fire to the Hall of Miraculous Mist, reprimanding him
378
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,720
Jade Emperor also ordered him to command Dongfang Shuo not to
379
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,280
cause trouble and to assist Your Majesty honestly
380
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,440
What did the God of Fire replay?
381
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,560
He replied that
382
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,360
Dongfang Shuo is a reincarnated being
383
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,560
Only by regaining his memories from his previous life
384
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,280
can he restore his sanity
385
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,800
Jade Emperor decreed on the spot
386
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,800
instructing Taishang Laojun to give me
387
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,720
the recipe
of the Refined Resurrection Elixir
388
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,360
so that I can refine the elixir as soon as possible
389
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,640
to help Dongfang Shuo
recover his memories
390
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,520
Can you… cure Dongfang Shuo
391
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,640
and make him listen to me forever?
392
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,880
I have the celestial elixir now
393
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,640
Please rest assured, Your Majesty
394
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,280
I'm counting on you, then
395
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:03,800
My Lord, Madam has returned
396
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,920
I heard about it on the way
397
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:29,520
Now
398
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,160
Liu Nan is dead
399
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,280
Mr. Jing is dead
400
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:34,920
and Lord Ming Fei is also dead
401
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,400
Who will be the next?
402
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:45,880
His Majesty still
403
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,840
had a trace of regret for Jing Kui
404
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,840
but he seemed
405
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,440
utterly indifferent to Ming Fei
406
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,680
This is so bitterly disappointing
407
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,720
Greetings, Your Majesty
408
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:25,960
Minister Dongfang
409
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,320
as a fortune-teller
410
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,480
have you predicted
411
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,240
what I've hastily summoned you here for?
412
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,040
I am too dense to predict this
413
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,240
It seems even
414
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,360
the renowned Genius of the East
415
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,400
would have moments when the brain can't function!
416
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,160
Indeed
417
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,120
- Please rise. - Thanks, Your Majesty
418
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:06,560
Your Majesty, it's not a fortuity that my brain can't function
419
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,920
It has been malfunctioning lately
420
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,240
I'm scattered about a lot of things
421
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,600
True, it seems you've become aware of it yourself
422
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,800
Do you want to know the cause?
423
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,360
Please enlighten me, Your Majesty
424
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,120
- Sage Li. - At your service
425
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,680
- Go ahead and tell him. - Understood
426
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:38,440
Brother Dongfang
427
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,120
it's mainly because you've spent too much time in the mortal realm
428
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,080
tainted by its impurities, leading to blockages in your senses
429
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,360
If you don't clear
and enlighten yourself soon
430
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,040
you might end up completely befuddled!
431
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,600
Is it really that serious?
432
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,160
Sage Li has long said that
433
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,640
you are the Chunyang Prodigy
434
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,800
sent by Jade Emperor to assist me in achieving greatness
435
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,680
However, your prolonged stay in the mortal realm
436
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,960
has nearly depleted your celestial energy
437
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,560
Does that mean I, Dongfang Shuo
438
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,680
will become a complete mortal?
439
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,760
If that's the case, it's my fortune
440
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:25,080
No
441
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,480
I still need you
442
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,600
I won't allow you to become a mortal man casually!
443
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,960
Don't worry, Brother Dongfang
444
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,320
By the order of my Master
445
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,320
I have specially crafted the Refined Resurrection Elixir for you
446
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,160
As long as you take one pill at the appointed time each day
447
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,880
within a month, I guarantee you regain your smarts
448
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,120
restoring your divine essence!
449
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:52,960
Attendant
450
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,600
Please have it, Brother
451
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:04,600
Your Majesty
452
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,800
this drug is obscure
453
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,040
so I dare not consume it
454
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,160
If it turns me into a tumbler
455
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,440
I could get over it
456
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,720
But what if it turns me into a fool?
457
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,640
Brother, are you suggesting that this elixir is poisonous?
458
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:25,480
I may know a person's appearance but not his true mind
459
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,200
- not to mention you're not even a person. - You!
460
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,960
In front of His Majesty
and all other officials
461
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,880
how would I dare to poison it?
462
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,440
Your Majesty, whether this drug is poisonous or not
463
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,880
I refuse to take it
464
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:43,720
Dongfang Shuo
465
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,160
if I ask you to take it
466
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,200
will you?
467
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:00,880
Your Majesty
468
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,880
must I really take it?
469
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:16,520
This is a tremendous blessing for you
470
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:20,560
Your Majesty, Dongfang Shuo refuses to take the elixir
471
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:25,000
mainly because he still harbors resentment towards you!
472
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,120
He does not want to serve Your Majesty anymore!
473
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:30,440
Dongfang Shuo
474
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,440
At your service
475
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,280
Do you
476
00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:39,200
also want to follow in the footsteps of Ming Fei and Jing Kui
477
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,360
and leave me?
478
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,440
No, I have no such intention
479
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:52,880
Then
480
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,520
- take it. - Yeah
481
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,400
This will prove your unwavering loyalty
to me!
482
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:01,760
Yeah
483
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:07,960
Your Majesty
484
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,360
if you insist, I will
485
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:25,880
take it
486
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,760
Brother, please
487
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:55,840
Alright, don't have to check it
488
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,440
No one can doubt
489
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,000
Dongfang Shuo's loyalty to me
490
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,800
Ministers,
His Majesty's been waiting for you
491
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,720
Greetings, Your Majesty
492
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,160
Please rise
493
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,320
I, along with these ministers, have come to take the elixir as ordered
494
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:30,120
Attendant
495
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,080
No need
496
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:48,800
Your Majesty
497
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,000
Dongfang Shuo has been taking the elixir in front of Your Majesty
498
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,200
for three days
499
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:56,200
proving his unwavering loyalty
500
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:01,080
From now on, he can take it on his own without supervision
501
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,560
- Sage Li. - At your service
502
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,840
Give Dongfang Shuo a month's dosage of elixir
503
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,920
He can take it at home from now on
504
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:13,600
Yes, Your Majesty
505
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,320
Attendant, bring the elixir for my Brother Dongfang
506
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,800
Brother Dongfang, please take it
507
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,280
Make sure to take it on time
508
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:34,840
What if
509
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,800
I haven't regained
my memory after a month?
510
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,600
Then, take it for another month
511
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,600
Brother Li, please prepare another month's dosage for me in advance
512
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,680
so I won't miss a dose
513
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:51,760
Rest assured, Brother
514
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,040
I will immediately craft another month's dosage for you
515
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,280
which will be delivered to your residence in seven days
516
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:01,240
Thank you, Brother Li
517
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,040
Dongfang Shuo
518
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,240
your sincerity
519
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,680
brings great joy to me!
520
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,040
As long as it pleases Your Majesty
521
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:19,440
I will do anything
522
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,040
It's truly unexpected
523
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,640
how heartless His Majesty is towards you
524
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:44,240
It seems like His Majesty is going to discard all his loyal officials
525
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,320
No, slaying all his loyal officials
526
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:53,080
What are you planning to do then?
527
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:57,160
There's nothing I can do
528
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,520
I don't hope for anything anymore
529
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,920
When His Majesty forced me to swallow the first pill
530
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:14,280
the ties and bond between us were long severed
531
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:17,760
So, what are we waiting for?
532
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,360
Pack your things. Let's head back to our hometown!
533
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,360
But, by leaving like this
534
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:28,520
Sister
535
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,120
we might meet a tragic end
536
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,920
just like Mr. Jing37512
