[Melody of Golden Age]

[Episode 39]

I knew it would be more interesting like this.

Lai Luozhi. How dare you act so recklessly in court?

As a minister, you're showing no respect for the laws.

His Majesty is incapable of ruling the nation.

Vice Minister Lai serves the court wholeheartedly.

We shall not let him suffer injustice.

You ungrateful traitors. How dare you treacherous ministers spout such nonsense?

To be ruled by a woman is the real calamity of Dacang.

Very well.

You've shown your true colors.

I'd like to see

who is

the bane of Dacang.

Guards.

May I give it a try?

Guards.

Look around.

These are the Imperial Personal Guards

of Dacang.

I've long heard that

the Imperial Guards are colluding with

the Imperial Inspectorate.

I didn't expect that

even the Imperial Personal Guards
have sided with Lai Luozhi.

Your days in the sickbed

must have taken a toll on you.

Maybe I should

remind you

what to say and what to do.

Are you sure you don't have anything

to tell the ministers?

Lai Luozhi.

How dare you besiege the palace

for usurpation?

The mandate of heaven shall be

entrusted to the one chosen by the people.

Lai Luozhi, how dare you?

That's unexpected.

You actually choose

to fight to the death.

What a pity.

It doesn't have to be like this.

At this point,

I bet you know

how to write

the edict of abdication, right?

This is ridiculous! How are you qualified

to inherit the throne?

What if I am qualified?

Then, you shall ascend the throne

as appointed by Heaven.

Your wild ambition is insatiable.

It calls for punishment.

Clamorous.

Drag these pedants out

and cut off their tongues.

Shen Du, what are you waiting for?

You're not qualified

to claim the throne.

Royal Guards.

I, Shen Du,

have purged the traitors

among the Royal Guards.

We're here to arrest the rebels

and protect Their Majesties.

Don't you want to avenge

those dozens

of your family members who died from injustice?

Think about your father Shen Bingzhu.

Don't you want to vindicate him?

I will find out the truth myself

and bring justice to my family.

Want me to join you?

You don't deserve it.

So,

according to your speculation,

the Huo'e Sect

has gained momentum over the years

due to the support of someone in the court,

and this person is very likely Lai Luozhi.

There's no solid evidence,

but various signs indicate

that he has everything to do with this.

The Huo'e Sect coveted control over the court

and sought to incite discord
within the royal family

with dirt on Princess Yong'an and others.

It is evident that

the mastermind is elusive

and plotting something huge.

They even dared to get their hands
on the cinnabar controlled by

the imperial court.

I am certain that your speculation

is most probably the truth.

What is your plan?

Our enemies lurk in the dark.

We'd better play along

and lure them into the trap.

Lure them into the trap?

Alright.

I'd like to see

how your tactic

will work.

Empress Dowager.

This is the medicine

Shen Du discovered

from the Jinwu Tribe.

He sent it here secretly.

It is said to be the remedy

that can cure you in half a month.

What a smart double agent.

You feigned allegiance

and put yourself

and those around you at risk.

It wasn't my trick

but your arrogance

that led you into this trap.

Say no more.

It's not certain who will win yet.

The Huo'e rises,

revealing the masses.

They are not real envoys.

I have never fully trusted you, either.

The captains of the Six Garrisons

have pledged loyalty to me.

Just now,

they've besieged the palace.

Do you think you stand a chance?

The tide has turned.

You're regretting it.

But it's too late.

Shen Du.

You could have been

the founding minister to my kingdom.

What a pity.

Kill them all.

Now.

It's going to be fine.

I will protect you.

You will surely

ascend the throne.

You surely will.

I won't let you die in vain.

General Zhenyuan, you reacted swiftly

and took out the rebels.

You're truly the leading general

guarding the border of Dacang.

Prince Xian.

The Six Garrisons have sided with Lai Luozhi.

The troops within the city

are no match for them.

Now all the counties are under the watch

of the Huo'e Sect.

Only one person can turn the tide.

To not alert the enemies,

please lend us your helping hand

to lift the siege of Xiang'an

and pacify the turmoil.

Thankfully, you sent me a confidential letter

conveying the decree.

I didn't expect that someone

would dare to collude with the enemies

to create chaos at the borders

to keep me there.

[General Zhenyuan]
He wouldn't have expected that

a squad of elite warriors

had already set out for Xiang'an.

Lai Luozhi bewitched the people.

But he didn't realize that

those were

my close kin in the palace.

His Majesty is my nephew.

As a civilian of Dacang,

I must stand by Dacang

and its people at the moment.

The Huo'e Sect has numerous disciples.

The various branches

of Huo'e Sect in Dacang

will join me in rising against you.

What are you going to do?

Do you want all the people in Xiang'an

to be buried with you?

Great Chief, the rebels out there
have been annihilated.

Lai Luozhi.

It's time to surrender.

Just now,

the Huo'e Sect branches you deployed

have all been eradicated.

Your momentum

is lost.

During the grand assembly,

Lai Luozhi will deploy his troops
around the palace.

Jiang Langxing informed

the inspectors in different areas.

The inspectors will uproot

the Huo'e Sect strongholds.

All inspectors, listen up.

Destroy all the strongholds

of the Huo'e Sect.

Arrest all the cultists.

Don't let anyone run away.

Understood.

Liang.

If you produce the new crossbows you designed

which fires

multiple arrows at once,

then our troops can fight
ten times the enemies.

Then, with just a squad of elites,

we may triumph over the many.

What marvelous weapons you make.

You have contributed greatly

to the pacification.

All thanks to Mr. Shen's support

and encouragement.

You petty ants

and hypocrites.

You let the Empress Dowager rule the nation.

Deluded and incompetent.

Who is leading Dacang

to a downslope?

It's her.

Zhou Xu!

Lai Luozhi.

You established Huo'e Sect,
bewitched the people,

and persecuted loyal ministers.

You have hurt so many people.

And you're pointing the finger at someone else?

My Huo'e Sect thrived

throughout Dacang

because I created a beautiful dream

where the dead could be brought back to life.

Who can escape

a life consisting of
birth, aging, sickness, and death?

Who can avoid

the pain of losing loved ones?

Let alone the common people,

even the high officials had no choice.

Didn't Mo Qianzhi also yield to me

and act based on my instructions?

Despicable creature.

I just hate people like you,

who uphold so-called righteousness

and morality.

How could I work with

a rebel like you?

If my father were alive,

he wouldn't allow it, either.

I am first a civilian of Dacang

and then a member of the Shen family.

Your father was also a fool.

I only seek to have a clear conscience

and not let the people down.

How can I collude

with you?

He thought he upheld integrity,

unaware that he had made many enemies.

Many people wished to

put him to death.

You are

as stupid as your father.

With nothing but some petty tricks,

I managed to bring down

your entire family.

You're sinister enough to persecute

the loyal ministers.

Even Heaven's law

wouldn't grant you power.

Heaven's law?

Then let me ask you.

Who convicted your father?

Who was responsible

for the misery of your family?

Zhou Xu.

You hold the young mute emperor as hostage

to dominate the court.

Have you ever woken up in the deep night,

feeling guilty toward the late emperor,

who was my father?

I am the chosen one

with the supreme bloodline.

Today,

I shall restore order to Dacang

and reclaim my power.

The late emperor?

Could he be…?

I am the son of the late emperor

and Ms. Shu.

The phoenix leads nine chicks.

The world is at peace.

Clarify the source.

Re-establish the order.

Clarify the source.

Re-establish the order.

Could it be that

the Imperial Preceptor's prophecy

really had a second half?

That is not true.

I'm the Chief Director Yan Xing
of the Ministry of Justice.

I pay my respect, Your Majesty.

I pay my respect, Empress Dowager.

Please rise.

Empress Dowager.

There was a second half to the prophecy

that wasn't handed in.

But it was not what Lai Luozhi just said.

Do you have evidence?

The true prophecy

is hidden in this baby's clothes.

Azure sky at sunset.

Brings upon misfortune.

That's right.

The Imperial Preceptor made a prophecy.

The latter half

referred to someone
with wild ambitions in the court

so that you would stay alert

of those around you.

Lai Luozhi managed

the Huo'e Sect for years.

The cultists were committing crimes.

The Imperial Preceptor noticed it

and had doubts about Lai Luozhi's

real identity.

But without evidence,

he had to convey his suspicions

to the world through the prophecy.

[Azure sky at sunset. Brings upon misfortune.]
He probably realized

that Lai Luozhi was watching him.

He had to embroider the prophecy
within the patterns

on the brocade

to send it away

when he had a chance.

However,

Lai Luozhi sent assassins

to silence him first.

Heaven's vengeance is slow but sure.

Yuanniang who couldn't read

found the brocade

with the latter half of the prophecy

and made it into the lining
of a baby's clothes.

And thus it remained.

[Triangle Sewing]

If Yuanniang were just an ordinary woman,

how could she afford such fabric?

The fabric on the inside

wasn't something accessible

to an ordinary person.

The Imperial Preceptor

was pedantic and obstinate.

Should I give up Dacang

to a stupid child,

or that inept Prince Xian,

or that bossy Princess Yong'an?

As long as the Empress Dowager

is still in court,

no one can be at ease.

Once upon a time,

Princess Runing

was honored and distinguished.

But someone changed

the pattern of her clothes,

and she was accused of treason

and ended up as she is now.

So Princess Runing

was also framed by you?

How could I have succeeded so easily

had you not been paranoid?

It's all your fault.

You are the greatest threat to my clan.

As a descendant of the Xiao family,

I shall right the wrongs for Dacang.

The throne

is rightfully mine.

I am the rightful heir to the throne.

But you are not the son of the late emperor.

You are the son of Ms. Shu

and her lover.

Ms. Shu used to be

the carefree Princess Bi Luo of Nanlang.

She was in love and engaged with

General Kongshan in secret.

It could have been a beautiful story.

Yet her father, King of Nanlang,

forced her to marry the late emperor

of Dacang.

Princess Bi Luo wouldn't comply.

In a rage, the King of Nanlang

killed General Kongshan

and threatened to kill his entire clan.

Bi Luo had no choice but to bribe the eunuch

to avoid the inspection

and became who we knew

as Ms. Shu.

Thus, she lost her love

and her name.

She stayed alive for the sake of

General Kongshan's clan,

and because she was pregnant

with General Kongshan's child.

It can't be true.

No way.

My mother wouldn't lie to me.

I am a descendant of the Xiao family,

a son of the late emperor of Dacang.

Back then,

one of those who

escorted Princess Bi Luo to Dacang

noticed that she was unwell

and discovered the truth.

That person was attacked by assassins

but made it out alive.

Lai Luozhi.

You are not a descendant of the Xiao family.

Lai Luozhi.

Your life is a complete lie.

No way.

My mother wouldn't lie to me.

My mother wouldn't lie to me.

You petty people

are Zhou Xu's lackeys.

You fabricate lies

to deceive everyone,

just to prevent me from ascending the throne

and rectifying the mistake.

The moths flying to the flame,

born at dawn,

dead by dusk.

It turns out

that the moth flying to the flame

is nothing but a splendid dream.

- Open the door.
- Understood.

Greetings, Mr. Jing.

Lai Luozhi was arrested.
The Great Chief asked me to send you home.

You have suffered.

Please forgive us

for our negligence.

That's great.

Mr. Jing, you're being too polite.

The Great Chief

locked us up

to protect us

from Lai Luozhi's persecution.

How could we not understand that?

That's right.

Shen Du.

You need to understand.

An arrow shot from a bow

can't be taken back.

I've thought it through.

Please inform the Empress Dowager.

Come back another day, Director Yan.

The Empress Dowager is going to summon me.

She won't have time for you.

Lai Luozhi and his people

have been convicted.

Why are you here to see

the Empress Dowager?

I have made a great contribution

to the pacification this time.

Do I need to tell a Sixth-Tier official

about what reward I'm going to ask for?

Then I must see Her Majesty

together with you.

The merit shouldn't be yours alone.

I also made an effort.

You can't keep the reward all to yourself.

If you want a reward,

have your supervisor

hand in a memorial.

Director Yan, go back.

Who brings a gift

to ask for rewards?

I bet it's the evidence

that can disturb the court in this box.

You came for the Shen family--

Director Yan.

Speak cautiously.

Now that we are divorced,

you have no ties with the Shen family.

So stay out of my family business.

Fine.

Even if I am not a member of the Shen family,

I will see to the end of this matter.

I'm not standing here

as your wife

but as the Chief Director
of the Ministry of Justice.

It's my pursuit

to reinvestigate the wrongful cases

and bring justice to the innocent.

Great Chief Shen.

The Empress Dowager summoned you.

As an official, you should

know very well that

the Empress Dowager

only summoned me,

so you shouldn't come uninvited.

Are you breaking into the hall?

If you go in there alone,

I won't see you again.

His Majesty caught a mild cold.

He will rest for a day

and attend the court meeting tomorrow.

My ministers.

Do you have any reports to make?

Qiao Wenzhi.

You're temporarily in charge of Gannandao.

Do you have

matters to report today?

Empress Dowager,

ever since Lai Luozhi was convicted,

all has been well and prosperous in Dacang.

Gannandao has been thriving.

The world is at peace.

There is nothing to report.

"The world is at peace"?

Lai Luozhi has been brought to justice.

But the brochure he left behind

was very useful.

Qiao Wenzhi.

You illegally imported goods from Xichen

through Gannandao
to sell them in Dacang for profit.

Empress Dowager, I have been wronged.

The so-called evidence

left behind by those rebels

in Gannandao

is absolutely invalid.

Absolutely invalid?

Then

what do you say about

the fabricated ledger?

It wasn't submitted by Lai Luozhi's people.

The forged ledger

documented twice the real cost

of the reconstruction of Ming Hall.

But all the ministries

were involved in this. I'm not the only one--

Qiao Wenzhi.

Don't talk nonsense.

Empress Dowager.

Qiao Wenzhi

is my subordinate.

He embezzled the money

from the court out of greed,

which is a serious crime.

I was negligent.

I deserve any punishment.

Negligent?

Prime Minister Zhang
truly has a wealth of knowledge.

What an exquisite choice of words.

But Qiao Wenzhi

is indeed loyal to you.

I bet most of

the embezzlement ended up

in your pocket, Zhang Xingwei.

Zhang Xingwei.

What else do you have to say?

I have nothing to say.

Prince Xian.

Mother Empress.

Let me ask you.

How should we deal with him?

Mother Empress, I believe

you have your opinion.

I have my opinion.

But now I am asking

for your opinion.

Prime Minister Zhang
has been my mentor since I was young.

He has always led by example

and taught me to prioritize the nation.

I don't believe that

he would commit such a crime

just for money.

There must be something behind this.

Prince Xian.

How foolish!

I have deceived you for years,

acting like a decent minister.

Yet you still plead for me.

Very well.

What a touching bond
between the mentor and the disciple.

Prime Minister Zhang.

Let me speak on your behalf.

You didn't spend

a single dime on yourself.

You bribed others

in the court

so that

they supported Prince Xian with you.

Empress Dowager.

At this point,

I will no longer conceal the truth.

Prince Xian

knows absolutely nothing

about all this.

It was all my doing alone.

Please sentence me to death

as a warning to others.

Do you think your sins will be erased

as long as you sacrifice yourself?

Those loyal officials
who died wrongfully accused

because of you

could never be brought back to life.

Minister Shen.

Bring it up.

By heavenly decree,

here comes the edict.

The criminal, Shen Bingzhu,

secretly corresponded with the enemy,

burned down our army's granary,

leaked the weapon designs,

colluded with foreign forces,

and conspired with the rebel army.

He shall be sentenced to death.

The entire Shen family
shall be detained and exiled.

Convey the edict widely.

I do not seek to be renowned.

I only seek to have a clear conscience

and not let the people down.

Shen Bingzhu was indifferent
to wealth and fame,

never wanting to get involved
in court disputes.

All he cared about was the people.

No matter what happened,

he only did what he should do,

as long as the people lived well.

I receive my wage from His Majesty.

Naturally, I shall share his burden

even at the cost of my life.

♫ Through storms and uncertainties,
I devote myself to you ♫

I, Shen Du, am here

to seek justice for my father,

Shen Bingzhu.

I, Shen Du, the son
of the criminal official Shen Bingzhu,

denounce my father

for colluding with enemies

and conspiring with the rebels.

I denounce.

I, Shen Du, the son
of the criminal official Shen Bingzhu,

denounce my father

for colluding with enemies.

♫ Unraveling mystery fearlessly in this dream ♫

Seek justice for my father,

Shen Bingzhu.

♫ My heart remains untainted
by the mortal dust ♫

Sixteen years ago

when Dacang was at war with Xichen

and in dire need of provisions and fodder,

the main granary

that stored the provisions
suddenly caught fire.

All the provisions of Dacang

were burned to the ground.

Shen Bingzhu, who was guarding the provisions,

was found guilty of conspiring with the enemy

and severely punished.

The grain bag bearing

the granary's seal

should have been burnt to ashes.

But it appeared

a thousand miles away in Gannndao.

The traitorous letter

you presented to the late emperor

was found not to have been written
by Shen Bingzhu.

Prime Minister Zhang,

will you explain it to me?

When the war began,

my disciple came to me.

It was then I learned

that he had colluded with local officials

to scalp the provisions.

They bought the provisions at a low price

and sold them when the price rose

to profit from the price difference.

However, the war with Xichen broke out.

But they had sold out

all the provisions,

leaving only piles of thatch in the granary.

Prime Minister Zhang.

It has never crossed my mind that

such a heinous crime
concerning the foundation of Dacang

would have something to do with you.

Empress Dowager.

Nor have I imagined that

one day

I would do something

utterly heartless

to cover up my disciple's crime.

I found someone

to fabricate that treasonous letter,

imitating Minister Shen's handwriting.

You forged the letter.

Then how did the granary

catch fire?

Prime Minister Zhang.

Do you want me to investigate further?

Empress Dowager.

I am solely responsible for this.

My family and I
shall pay the price. Let it end here.

If you keep looking into it,

it may shake the foundation of Dacang.

We will be caught

in a dilemma, trying to protect

someone important.

It's not worth it, Empress Dowager.

Protect some important?

Who are you referring to?

There are things

I can't speak about openly.

Great Chief Shen, please.

Do you trust me so much?

Aren't you afraid

that you will disappear along with this box?

Over these years,

I have seen you

serving the people of Dacang at all costs.

I believe you will

make a fair judgment.

I am not afraid

to risk my life.

Then let me speak on your behalf.

Before Minister Shen took over the granary,

the local official there

was my nephew Zhou Miao.

[Zhou Miao]

He feared that he'd be caught

and colluded with Lai Luozhi

to set our Dacang granary on fire

with Wujin Tribe's

Fire Fueling Technique.

Empress Dowager, you…

Guards.

Take Zhou Miao out
for a thorough interrogation.

All those involved in this from the Zhou family

shall receive more severe punishment.

Empress Dowager, spare me.

Please spare me.

Prince Xian.

Let me ask you one more time.

What will you do with Prime Minister Zhang?

Mother Empress, I beg you

to punish Zhang Xingwei according to the law.

But please consider his past merits

and deal with the members of the Zhang family

with some leniency.

♫ One glance affirms the fate between us ♫

♫ Upon meeting again,
