(We only seek the truth)
3
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:51,240
I hereby accuse
Xiao Huaijin of two crimes.
4
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,359
First,
5
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,799
Xiao Huaijin forged Shen Wenyuan's notes
6
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,920
to frame the Shen family,
7
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,270
and illegally trafficked iron ore.
8
00:00:57,679 --> 00:00:58,479
Second,
9
00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:00,759
Xiao Huaijin smuggled iron ore
out of the country
10
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:02,759
and sold it to
the enemy general Jin Pulu,
11
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,959
so he could amass troops
and forge weapons.
12
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,120
Pei Yu.
13
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:11,959
You colluded with unruly commoners
to deceive me.
14
00:01:13,599 --> 00:01:15,159
My death means nothing,
15
00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:17,719
but the Shen family's wrongful case
has yet to be cleared.
16
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,680
Tens of thousands
of workers of Shen Shipping
17
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,760
are crying out for justice,
18
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,000
trapped in endless suffering.
19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,920
I cling to this last breath
20
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:26,400
only to seek justice for them.
21
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:29,280
Your Majesty.
22
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:30,760
In the Shen family case,
23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,100
the culprit not only sought
to frame the Shen family,
24
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,920
but also to use it to conceal
25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,760
his treacherous ambition and treason.
26
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:37,879
If my death
27
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:39,760
caneradicate traitors
28
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,760
and preserve the peace of the state,
29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,879
then I am willing to sacrifice myself.
30
00:01:51,359 --> 00:01:52,480
- Governor Pei.
- Governor Pei.
31
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,439
The Prince Duan case
32
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:56,519
deserves condemnation.
33
00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:58,120
I ask all of you to join me
34
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,990
in setting the truth right
across the realm,
35
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,120
for the sake of the world and the people.
36
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,680
Prince Duan colluded with the enemy.
37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:07,959
He must be condemned.
38
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,479
My lords.
39
00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:13,190
Whoever helps His Majesty set
the truth right across the realm
40
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,960
will earn merit for generations to come.
41
00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:16,680
Merit for generations to come.
42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:18,960
My lords.
43
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,599
I, Pei, pay my respects to you all.
44
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,319
Your Majesty.
45
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:30,319
When the people live in peace,
46
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:31,680
the realm is at peace.
47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,680
What is more,
48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:33,520
this matter concerns
49
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,000
relations between two states.
50
00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:36,120
In my humble view,
51
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,159
it must be handled
52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,919
with the utmost caution.
53
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,719
Your Majesty.
54
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:44,439
The Shen case has spread
widely among the people
55
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:46,599
and drawn intense attention
across the capital.
56
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,360
If there is no resolution,
57
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,599
or if the outcome is unjust,
58
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:50,400
it may
59
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,039
undermine the authority of the court.
60
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,919
- We beg Your Majesty to think carefully.
- We beg Your Majesty to think carefully.
61
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,240
(It seems)
62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,199
(the moment has come.)
63
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,599
Fine.
64
00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:30,400
Very well.
65
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:32,919
You guys
66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,360
are forcing me to do this!
67
00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:36,560
Tell me!
68
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:39,520
Just how much have you all
received from the Shen family?
69
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Your Majesty.
70
00:03:41,479 --> 00:03:43,120
The Shen family's loyalty to the court
71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,879
needs no vouching.
72
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,990
In the eleventh year
of the late emperor's Dazhen reign,
73
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:49,000
foreign forces invaded Daliang.
74
00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:50,800
The Shen family sold off their assets
75
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,199
to raise two million dan
of military grain for the court.
76
00:03:55,159 --> 00:03:56,759
In the twenty-first year of Dazhen,
77
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,719
rebels rose up in the southeast.
78
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,439
The Shen family once again
79
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:02,719
raised twenty million taels
in military funds.
80
00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:05,479
In the fifth year of the current reign,
81
00:04:05,550 --> 00:04:07,000
there was a drought in the northwest.
82
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,439
In the eighth year,
floods ravaged the south.
83
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,479
Every act of the Shen family's
loyalty to the court
84
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,080
is clearly
85
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,439
recorded by the Ministry of Revenue.
86
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:22,120
You claim you obtained
87
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,160
evidence of Xiao Huaijin
colluding with the enemy.
88
00:04:24,850 --> 00:04:27,000
Jin Pulu is a treacherous official
of an enemy state.
89
00:04:27,879 --> 00:04:28,800
How did you
90
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,279
manage to make contact with him?
91
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:33,600
Your Majesty.
92
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:35,959
I infiltrated Jin Pulu's
secret military camp
93
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,260
and discovered tens of thousands
of troops stationed there,
94
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,839
along with workshops forging weapons.
95
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,079
The iron ore they used
96
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,399
came from Xiao Huaijin's trafficking.
97
00:04:45,987 --> 00:04:48,112
As Governor of Daliang,
98
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,720
you managed to enter
99
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,839
the secret camp
of a traitorous enemy general.
100
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,000
Pei Yu.
101
00:04:54,937 --> 00:04:58,040
Are you not pointing fingers
to cover your own crime?
102
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:01,900
What troubles Your Majesty
103
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,680
is nothing more than my loyalty.
104
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:07,560
To prove it, I am willing to relinquish
my post as Governor,
105
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:09,920
and surrender
command of the Qilin Guards,
106
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,839
to accept Your Majesty's judgment.
107
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:25,319
Fine.
108
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:27,000
You all think
109
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,160
this is enough to force my hand?
110
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,240
Your Majesty.
111
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,680
- All we ask
- All we ask
112
00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:43,319
- is the truth.
- is the truth.
113
00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:45,990
- We need Your Majesty's wise judgment.
- We need Your Majesty's wise judgment.
114
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:50,360
Very well.
115
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:52,560
I will order
116
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:55,439
the Court of Judicial Review
to investigate thoroughly.
117
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,088
If the allegations are proven true,
the Prince Duan's Residence
118
00:06:00,070 --> 00:06:01,800
shall be dealt
with according to the law.
119
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,160
I am weary.
120
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,399
You may all withdraw.
121
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,480
Your Majesty.
122
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240
Since Prince Duan's Residence
has been proven to be guilty,
123
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,079
the Shen case
124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,040
should also be retried
to restore faith among the people.
125
00:06:19,050 --> 00:06:20,783
The guilt of the Prince Duan's Residence
126
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:23,079
does not mean
the Shen family's innocence.
127
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,160
The Shen case was settled long ago.
128
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,480
This matter
129
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:31,079
is not to be mentioned again.
130
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:33,199
Your Majesty.
131
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:36,600
Dozens of lives from the Shen family
132
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,439
were slaughtered in a single night.
133
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,600
Men, women, young and old,
none were spared.
134
00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:42,240
Those who hear of it are horrified,
135
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,500
those who speak of it turn pale.
136
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:45,439
Now that the evidence lies before us,
137
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:48,079
why does Your Majesty choose
to ignore their injustice?
138
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:48,720
Why you...
139
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,000
(To My Father)
Your Majesty!
140
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:56,680
(To My Father)
Do you really
141
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,879
want Li Wan'er's tragedy
to happen all over again?
142
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:07,360
Your Majesty.
143
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,625
(To My Father)
144
00:08:01,337 --> 00:08:06,887
(Father, I don't know whether
I should feel happiness or irony.)
145
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,319
(Father.)
146
00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:12,480
(To call you my father again,)
147
00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:15,839
(I don't know whether
I should feel happiness)
148
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,079
(or irony.)
149
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:22,079
(You granted my father)
150
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:24,360
(the posthumous title Duke Zhongguo.)
151
00:08:24,820 --> 00:08:27,160
(You bestowed upon me
the honor and wealth of a Princess.)
152
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,079
(Only now do I finally understand.)
153
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,320
(The fine silks I wear)
154
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,519
(and the brilliant
future beneath my feet)
155
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:42,200
(were paid for with my father's bones)
156
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:45,720
(and the blood
of the Li Army's soldiers.)
157
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,279
(I was nothing
more than a tool you used)
158
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,159
(to balance the court
and control the Li Army.)
159
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,679
(I should have
demanded justice from Heaven.)
160
00:09:01,890 --> 00:09:03,990
(I should have made you
pay for my father's life.)
161
00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:07,799
(But what I thought of most)
162
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,159
(was all these years)
163
00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:11,960
(of unmatched happiness)
164
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,759
(you gave me.)
165
00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:18,519
(If I do not avenge my father,)
166
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,279
(I am unworthy to be a human being.)
167
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:24,279
(Killing you)
168
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,279
(is beyond my courage.)
169
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,559
(What lies before me)
170
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,919
(is only one path.)
171
00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:38,919
(I am guilty.)
172
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,679
(When the Shen family fell into ruin,)
173
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,730
(I betrayed sisterhood and struck them
while they were down.)
174
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,080
(Since then, my dreams have
never known peace.)
175
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,440
(Father, have you ever,
in the still of the night,)
176
00:09:53,890 --> 00:09:55,639
(seen those from
the past in your dreams)
177
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:57,200
(asking you for an answer?)
178
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,799
(Let it go, Father.)
179
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,200
(Don't let the bond
between ruler and subject,)
180
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,639
(blood ties between family,)
181
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,639
(and the hearts of the people)
182
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,759
(be destroyed by baseless suspicion.)
183
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,320
Wan'er.
184
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,000
How could you be so foolish?
185
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,300
We have been father
and daughter for so many years.
186
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,159
In my heart,
187
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,519
you are never just a tool.
188
00:10:36,879 --> 00:10:38,159
Silly child.
189
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:40,840
Your Majesty.
190
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:42,919
I have one more item to present.
191
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,799
This was Wan'er's
most treasured possession.
192
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:04,639
She never let it out of her sight.
193
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,240
It was a gift you personally gave her
194
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,600
on the day the Princess came of age.
195
00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:14,519
In the Princess's heart,
196
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,159
even with resentment,
197
00:11:17,570 --> 00:11:19,879
she could never bring herself
to blame Your Majesty.
198
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,240
Because to her, you are both
her sovereign and her father,
199
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:26,240
and the one the people
of the realm rely on.
200
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:30,559
Your Majesty, if you will not seek justice
for the Shen family,
201
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,960
then who possibly can?
202
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,000
I am
203
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,600
the sovereign father
of the people of Daliang,
204
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:53,120
and their only pillar of support.
205
00:11:59,060 --> 00:12:00,840
The imperial household
knows no affection.
206
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,720
An emperor is forever
prone to suspicion.
207
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,120
He is willing to sacrifice anyone.
208
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,200
Now,
209
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,320
Pei Yu and the others have
secured irrefutable proof.
210
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,559
I will inevitably meet the same end
as General Li.
211
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,440
Since that is the case,
212
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,919
rather than waiting to be slaughtered,
213
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:17,120
I might as well gamble everything.
214
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,159
Your Highness is wise.
215
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:19,360
When I departed,
216
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,559
General Jin instructed me
217
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,879
to follow Prince Duan's commands
218
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,960
and ensure Prince Duan's success
in the campaign.
219
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,000
Brothers!
220
00:12:25,070 --> 00:12:26,639
The palace gates have been forced open.
221
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:28,000
Whoever helps me
222
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
take the darned emperor's head
223
00:12:30,010 --> 00:12:32,159
will be remembered as
a founding hero of my dynasty.
224
00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:34,840
From this day on,
you'll rise to the highest ranks,
225
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,200
be granted lands and titles,
nothing will be withheld.
226
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,690
- Prince Duan is wise!
- Prince Duan is wise!
227
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,080
Bad news! Prince Duan has rebelled!
228
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,320
Protect the Emperor!
229
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,360
Protect the Emperor!
230
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,320
Your Majesty, this is...
231
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,480
We're in the inner palace.
232
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,960
How could rebels breach it?
233
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,320
Your Majesty, this must be Xiao Huaijin.
234
00:12:53,450 --> 00:12:54,399
He's been plotting this.
235
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,880
He used Your Majesty's birthday banquet
to launch his revolt.
236
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:57,960
I will
237
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,679
immediately mobilize the Qilin Guards
238
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,039
to subdue the rebels.
239
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,440
I urge Your Majesty
240
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,120
to leave the palace
through the secret passage.
241
00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:12,639
Your Majesty,
242
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:14,200
the Shen family has
243
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,240
a hidden chamber
244
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:16,799
that is impossible to find.
245
00:13:17,090 --> 00:13:18,600
I'll take Your Majesty there at once.
246
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,587
(Weitian Hall)
247
00:13:48,912 --> 00:13:50,912
(Weitian Hall)
248
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,039
Darned emperor!
249
00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:55,799
Come out and meet your death!
250
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:58,639
Prince Duan.
251
00:13:58,639 --> 00:13:59,890
They fled to the Shen residence.
252
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:23,639
Your Majesty.
253
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,519
This secret chamber
254
00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:27,120
is concealed within the rockery.
255
00:14:27,759 --> 00:14:28,320
It is
256
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,879
reinforced with black iron stone,
257
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,200
impervious to attacks.
258
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,519
Your Majesty may take refuge here.
259
00:14:43,437 --> 00:14:45,425
(End of Episode)
260
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:46,759
I promise you,
261
00:14:47,530 --> 00:14:49,080
the Shen family's case will be retried.
262
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,890
And now you would still
263
00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:55,720
cause your own sister's death
for his sake?
