Episode 34

Eat to the Sun in the summer.

Eat against the Sun in the winter.

Make me hunt the deer and hogs.

Eat to the Sun in the summer.

Eat against the Sun in the winter.

Make me hunt the deer and hogs.

Burn the bones to send the souls back to God mountains.

Rest in peace in all seasons.

You should be relieved

now you sang the Fengu spell for him.

When the birds come to eat him,

they can take his body to the paradise.

He will be free.

Today in the court,

His Majesty granted Yansage Dianyi

and still called you Crown Princess.

You can have Yongxing Palace.

Thank you, my Queen, His Majesty.

I just knew

what happened to your child.

Please don't be too sad.

You'll have another one.

No, I won't.

Do you want to be a widow forever?

I'm not doing this for him.

But for myself.

I've been living for others.

But I only want to live for myself afterwards.

I don't want to marry anyone.

Hunian,

are you still mad at me and His Majesty?

I know that

Yansage had committed unforgivable crimes.

He cannot live.

I understand it.

But my heart wouldn't allow me to do it.

But it's not worth it.

I know he's been good to you,

but after all,

he killed our father.

That's enough.

It's up to me.

He's dead now.

And the crimes he committed

died with him and are buried in the dust.

I don't want to know

and I don't want to care anymore.

I'm tired, Yanyan.

Everything about Shangjing

is choking me.

I want to run away.

To where?

The north is not stable.

I will take Yongxing Palace with me

to guard the north.

No, it's too dangerous.

I have Yongxing Palace.

I can handle the northern clans.

Fighting battles is a way to get away.

Maybe I will come back

when I'm healed.

Or,

you don't trust your own sister?

You fear I will make myself Queen in the north?

You are overthinking.

If so,

I will set out immediately.

Then please

take care of the north.

Thank you, my Queen.

You are still going to Youzhou?

Yes.

I decided to go back there,

please grant me permission.

We eliminated Yansage.

Gaoxun and Nüli are dead now.

But we have nobody but King Ji,

who was unfaithful once,

to station there and guard the south.

I thought that

I should go back to guard our southern land.

If you go to Youzhou,

that would be solving a huge problem for me.

But I feel...

What about the reforms?

Yansage was just dead, the clans fear our authority

and can't fend for themselves.

This is the best time to implement the reform.

Who will help His Majesty

if you are gone.

It takes time to carry out the reforms.

We can't rush it.

Well,

I want to know what you think.

What should I do next?

The political reforms have initial results

so we can put them off for now.

The Southerners once said:

Granary is etiquette.

You mean focusing on agriculture?

But the Khitan people

live on the prairie and move around

in search for water for generations.

How can we settle down,

develop agriculture and learn to farm

like the Southerners.

You don't need to worry about that.

I think

Liao is so vast that

there are many areas

suitable for agriculture

apart from the prairie.

I believe with abundant provisions,

the army of Liao

will conquer the world.

You are right.

But the Khitans are not used to cultivating

like the Southerners.

That's what I'm worried about.

If we want to develop agriculture

like the Southerners

and replenish the treasury

to enhance national power,

we must assure the yields of the south.

I see what you mean.

The most important area

in the south is Youzhou.

It looks like

I have to grant you permission this time.

Thank you, Your Majesty,

my Queen.

Allow me to leave.

Zhimo,

you are so thin.

Why didn't you take care of yourself?

How can I not worry?

The only person

that cares about me

is you.

If you want me to live,

then I will.

I only have

one brother left in this world.

We have been through misfortune

when we were young,

and all we had was each other.

I've always known

that you cared about me.

It's just that

the world changes so fast

and God is so cruel.

I want to serve the Buddhas

for the rest of my life.

Your Majesty,

please go.

Then,

take care.

Gaoliu.

Yes.

Why are you loyal to me?

In his will,

Yansage asked me to assist you.

As long as you don't hand over Yongxing Palace

to the Emperor and the Queen,

I will assist you all my life.

But this is only temporary,

Yongxing Palace belongs to the Emperor,

I can't control it forever.

Hunian,

nobody can let go

once they get a taste of the power.

Yongxing Palace is yours.

You should live up to

His Majesty's trust when you are in Youzhou.

Don't listen to him.

Remember to write letters to us when you can

so that I could know

how are you doing there.

Don't worry, mother.

Father, mother,

we are leaving.

Go.

Be safe.

Kaihuang Gate

Your Highness, let's go home.

You will catch a cold if you stand here for too long.

Liao is at peace now,

what else are you worried about?

I just feel

all of a sudden,

Shangjing becomes so quiet.

As if everything is changed

overnight.

Eleven years later

Yelü Daoyin Shu King

Reborn Chamber

May health come to you.

The God is here.

Reborn Ritual begins.

Reborn Ritual: Held every 12 years to celebrate the birth the royalties

The disease and disaster will disappear.

Comfort the spirit and reduce the disasters

A boy is born.

Prosperity.

His Majesty is reborn.

Congratulate the reborn.

The national affairs worried me

since I sat on the throne.

Luckily, I have you

by my side

and share my burden.

Liao is prosperous

thanks to your efforts.

It's because of your wisdom, Your Majesty.

You may all rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

The God

has blessed His Majesty's health through the ritual

and has blessed Liao

to be vigorous and prosperous.

That's right.

After this,

everyone would know you are fit.

Look all the clan elders and heirs,

they are reverent and respectful.

King Zhao, what do you say?

That's right.

Xiuge,

how are things going

with spring naobo? *Traditional Khitan event

My Queen,

the time is settled.

The clans in the north and from the annexed territories

are on their way

to Blackhill Palace now.

My Queen,

I think it's better for you

to stay here

due to your current conditions.

It's a great time for me to

train my sons in Blackhill.

I want to meet the northern clans.

Besides, Diligu said that

the baby is more than three months now,

I will be ok.

Wenshunu and Guanyinnü

are quite naughty at this moment.

They will behave themselves

if I'm there.

You are right.

All right, as you wish.

Everyone,

our ancestors had set the rules

to migrate camps and hunt

to keep our force strong

and to deter the clans.

Now that they are on their way,

please get ready

to visit the northeast with me and my army.

Yes, Your Majesty,

Be careful.

I'm alright.

Your Highness,

please be careful.

Why did you drink so much.

I'm not drunk.

Why are you drunk again?

Liulishou, son of Yelü Xiyin I'm alright, I'm not drunk.

Liulishou, son of Yelü Xiyin

Liulishou, son of Yelü Xiyin Go now.

Go now.

Salan, take Liulishou to his room.

Yes.

Come, little childe.

Your Highness.

It's been eleven years.

That sick man is still alive.

Go, all of you.

What do you fear?

He sits at my place,

pushes me aside, suppresses me and ignores me.

He uses the Southerners and learns the Han system.

He forgets the blood

and spirits of Khitans.

He doesn't deserve it.

That's enough.

It's OK.

Doesn't deserve it.

He doesn't.

I promised my father,

my father,

father, father, father,

my father...

I promised him.

I promised him.

I promised him.

Long live Your Majesty.

You may rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I've been busy with the politics

since my enthronization.

This is the first time I meet you all.

Here, drink with me.

To His Majesty.

Your Majesty,

It looks like you're not well.

Did the tough and tiring trip

make you have a relapse?

Thank you for your concern.

His Majesty just had the Reborn Ritual

and he got Tengri's blessing,

he's strong and fit.

as our Liao Dynasty.

Long live His Majesty.

That's right.

With all the clans, north and south, on my side,

I believe that

the future of our dynasty

will be prosperous.

Here.

Your Majesty is wise.

Where is the clan elder of Xi clan?

Xiheshuonu is here.

I heard Your Majesty just had the Reborn Ritual,

I brought five thousand cows and

five thousand goats to pay tribute.

May Your Majesty live a long life.

You have a great character,

no wonder the six Xi clans respect you.

You are so nice.

Reward him.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I brought xueshen and a thousand goats

from Gaoli to pay tribute.

May Your Majesty be healthy forever.

Reward him.

Anyuezhi, clan elder of Zubu clan,

greets Your Majesty.

Reward.

I, Bohai King, greet Your Majesty.

Good, reward.

Your Majesty,

all the ministers and clan elders

are back now.

OK.

Your Majesty,

Your Majesty, Your Majesty.

Send Diligu.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

Your Majesty.

His Majesty has taken so many medicines,

why he's not getting better?

It's quite an exhausting trip,

from Shangjing to Blackhill.

Besides, His Majesty is always weak.

Although Han Kuangsi and I

are nursing his health,

he has missed

the best time of treatment.

The disease has harmed his vital.

That's why

he has dizziness and headaches

from time to time.

Go.

Mingyi.

Yanyan.

You should come back halfway of the banquet,

but you stayed till the end.

I survived the Reborn Ritual,

I want them to know

I'm good and fit.

In this way

can I stabilize the country.

I don't know what to do

if something happened to you.

I asked Hunian particularly

to come to the naobo.

You haven't seen each other for years.

She misses you.

She is busy with the military affairs

and needs to arrange everything before she comes here.

We will go hunting tomorrow.

Get some rest.

You are the one that is pregnant.

But you are managing things for me.

Don't worry,

the baby is fine.

I will be fine

even I go hunting now.

I know,

you like horseback archery,

but you should put the big picture first

even if you really love doing it.

What do you say?

Taiyuan Mansion

The armies of the State of Han are useless.

Taiyuan is sieged in just two months.

Youzhou will be in danger if defeated.

Taiyuan is hard to breach.

They can hold for

a couple of months

as long as they fight together.

It's us

that should be more careful.

The South King left some cracktroops in Zhenzhou

and they could attack us any minute.

So we should leave it behind?

It's our territory.

There're only eighteen thousand

elite soldiers in Youzhou.

But armies in Shilingguang

are 20 to 30 thousand at most.

We shouldn't take reckless actions.

We should wait for the back up.

That's right.

He's right.

Mr.Han is right.

The southern armies

can only frighten the useless State of Han.

They are nothing to our Liao soldiers.

That's right.

Let me lead the armies to Shilingguan

and take Guojinbu.

The southern armies will be in disarray

if their route of retreat is cut off.

Then Taiyuan will be saved.

We can't do that.

Our duty is to guard Youzhou,

not to support the State of Han.

We need to wait for His Majesty

to send support after his tour is over.

No one should

do anything until then.

Han Derang,

you try everything to be in my way.

Do you want to fight for

the credit of saving the State of Han.

I'm Nanjing Liushou,

I have the right to stop my troops from taking chances.

I'm telling you,

I'm King Ji of Liao

and I have orders to guard Nanjing.

You can't tell me

what to do considering your position.

Let's go.

Yes.

How do you feel, Your Majesty?

Much better, I slept well last night.

Crown Princess is here.

Your Majesty, my Queen.

Please rise.

Hunian.

My Queen.

You guard the north for years

and go back to Shangjing every 3 or 5 years,

thank you for your hard work.

Yanyan always told me

that she missed you.

And my children

always yelled about meeting their aunt.

That's right.

Hunian,

the north is stable lately.

We didn't have much chance to spend time together.

I think

you should go back to Shangjing

and stay there for a few days with us

after naobo is over.

If Your Majesty says so.

That's not up to me.

But I think

Yanyan wants that,

maybe you can say yes.

Well,

I have to watch the clans hunt,

I'll leave you to catch up.

I'm leaving now.

Hunian,

why are you so thin lately?

The north is not like Shangjing,

and I need to train the soldiers.

Although I look thinner,

I'm actually stronger.

What are you laughing at?

Although you are the oldest

and have been through so much these years,

you don't seem to get older,

you look younger and prettier.

You are already mother of two,

but still so naughty.

Should I pretend to be

someone else in front of you?

Besides,

more than two,

this is the third one.

Really?

I didn't notice that.

No wonder he didn't take you with him.

You wouldn't be sitting here

with your temper.

By the way,

you are there for so many years,

I believe many people admire you.

Is there anyone you like?

Why do you talk about that suddenly.

I wanted to talk it with you

a long time ago.

Life is so hard there,

if you can meet someone

that you trust

and who can take care of you,

I won't worry about you so much.

How about I ask

His Majesty to match you up.

You can go back to Shangjing then.

And we can be together.

That's for the best.

I know you want to look after me.

The north may seem to be a bitter place

but to me it's freedom.

I feel comfortable alone.

Just go with it.

Hunian.

Where is Wuguli,

ask her to come here.

We sisters should catch up.

You work too hard today.

This medicine is so bitter and useless.

I should stop drinking it.

Mingyi,

I know you care about me.

It's a good thing that

all the clan elders are going back.

I won't be so tired afterwards.

Remember,

make sure everything is arranged when they get back.

I've ordered Xiuge and Xiezhen

to see them off tomorrow.

We can get a

good night's sleep tonight.

Yes.

Your Highness, are you going in person?

Of course, since His Majesty is in power,

he values the southern officials.

The clan relatives are resenting this.

I want to fight for the Khitan royalty.

I can't let the merit fall into Han's hand.

Is Wage going too?

Yes.

The southern soldiers are only imperious in the south,

they never won us once.

If it's not for my brother,

who was alcoholic and idle,

Liao's soldiers would have conquered the south.

This is a great chance.

I will bring Wage with me

to help him perform feasts.

Then he will be someone in the court.

I don't want wealth,

I just want you to come back safely.

Mother,

we'll talk after we come back with victory.

Father, let's go.

The army is ready.

Alright, let's go now.

Is it pretty?

Yes.

Which one do you like?

You like the most?

This one.

This one?

Yanyan,

His Majesty is ill all these years,

it's not easy for you.

His Majesty is well,

I should share his burden

as the Queen.

It's so pretty, right?

Hunian,

I heard you

would come with us after naobo is over.

Is it real?

That's wonderful.

My Queen, emergent letter from the State of Han.

The South King is coming north, the State of Han is in danger.

They want us to allocate soldiers

to help them fend the enemy.

Does His Majesty know?

He sent me here.

He and Xiuge are in the court.

They are so useless,

asking for back up just after the dispatch.

Although they are useless,

they can at least

hold back the Southern Dynasties.

If the State of Han is taken,

we will be confronting

the Southern Dynasties directly.

That's right.

The State of Han is beside Youzhou.

The Southern King leads the army himself.

I'm afraid he won't go easily.

Is Han Derang Youzhou Liushou?

Yes.

I'm going there.

Youzhou can hold up.

-It's not... -Your Excellency,

things went south.

What happened?

King Ji and General Yelüsha,

they went out of the city with Konghe and Shenwu,

saying they are going to attack Guojinbu.

How many soldiers do they take with them?

10 thousand elites.

Bastard.

So most of the elite soldiers.

If the enemy attacks us now,

how could we handle it.

What should we do?

Should I send people to stop them?

Send the orders, enhance the defense

and beware of the sneak attack.

-Yes. -Yes.

The South King is so ambitious.

He wants to attack the State of Han

to win prestige right after his enthronization.

So should we send

the reinforcements to them?

I've been discussing this with Xiuge.

Han Derang leads eighteen thousand soldiers

to station in Youzhou with King Ji assisting him.

We don't need to worry about Youzhou.

However,

if we dispatch reinforcements from Youzhou,

I fear the South King will feint.

Then Youzhou will be in danger.

I agree.

I fear the south armies will be greedy.

Then we should do nothing for now.

Even if they take Taiyuan,

they have to climb across Tai-hang Mountains

before they reach Zhenzhou.

Then the front will be long,

providing food and weapons will be a problem.

In my opinion,

the State of Han should hold for some time,

when the enemy

becomes exhausted,

we can send troops there

to teach this new king a lesson.

That's a brilliant idea.

I think it will work.

Then do what you say.

Xiuge,

rectify Pishi troops,

select out the soldiers and send them south.

Yes, my Queen.

You look so casual.

What's wrong?

Really?

This is good timing.

Go to His Majesty now.

Please hand it to His Majesty

and to the Queen.

Yes.

Your Majesty, please send me there.

King Zhao,

the battle field is ruthless.

You are the only one left

in Lihu's bloodline.

If something happens to you,

how can I face Wuguli?

The country is at risk,

how can I hide here

and indulge in enjoyment.

The South King is attacking the State of Han,

it doesn't endanger the country yet.

I know you want to share my concerns.

I'm delighted.

But I have

asked Xiuge to handle it,

you should wait for the good news with me.

But Your Majesty...

King Zhao, I don't feel well.

Please see yourself out.

Youzhou

What happened?

How can he hurt so badly?

Where is King Ji?

He is ambushed.

Tell me details.

King Ji is ambushed at Baima Ridge.

He is in a tough fight and sent me here.

Please send him reinforcements.

It's not good.

The enemy is here.

Hurry up.

Youzhou

King Ji is fighting with them at Baima Ridge,

how can they arrive here so fast?

They planned it.

A useless general kills thousands of soldiers.

King Ji made a arbitrary move leading to great casualties.

Not only Taiyuan is unsafe,

Youzhou is also at risk.

Liushou,

Xiao Taogu, Commander of Nanjing

Xiao Taogu, Commander of Nanjing the enemy has at least ten thousand

aggressive elite soldiers.

We need to inform His Majesty

to ask him to save us.

It's too late.

I have written

to ask for reinforcements,

but I think

the enemy has deployed stealthily.

That letter won't get to him.

What should we do?

You see,

our enemy has put in all their forces

to take the State of Han first

and then get the Sixteen Prefectures.

We didn't prepare for it at all.

They had us unprepared.

But Youzhou is the portal of Liao in the south,

we can't afford to lose it.

All we can do is to

fight to defend with our life.
