00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,060
<i>Episode 9.</i>

3
00:00:10,060 --> 00:00:13,150
<i> Su Residence</i>

4
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:29,350
Chief, the weather is cold. You should rest inside.

5
00:00:29,350 --> 00:00:31,340
Alright.

6
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,880
Chief, why are you standing in the corridor?

7
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,180
It's cold, please go inside.

8
00:00:49,180 --> 00:00:51,630
Alright, Auntie Ji.

9
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,370
Physician Yan.

10
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,940
Young Master Licheng is brilliant to have sent Physician Yan here.

11
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:27,470
Your Excellency is more relaxed now?

12
00:01:27,470 --> 00:01:30,680
- Have a seat.<br>- Thank you.

13
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,450
Previously, I was caught in between the <br>Crown Prince and Prince Yu.

14
00:01:35,450 --> 00:01:37,500
I cannot even breath normally.

15
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:39,350
If this drags on,

16
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:43,290
I'd be long gone while the case is still around.

17
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:49,370
Actually, Lantai Province's Magistrate is outside.

18
00:01:49,370 --> 00:01:50,960
Has something happened again?

19
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,700
What's up with me this year?<br> So unlucky.

20
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:55,970
Don't worry Your Excellency, I've asked him about it.

21
00:01:55,970 --> 00:01:58,690
It's regarding a beast at Mt Xiaogu.

22
00:01:58,690 --> 00:02:01,640
The beast has been disturbing the villagers and scaring them.

23
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,700
The Magistrate could not capture it hence is reporting it to us.

24
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:08,100
No need to tell me about such small case,

25
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:11,100
- just deal with it.<br>- Yes.

26
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:15,430
As long as there are no further cases that involve high ranking Ministers,

27
00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:17,220
then I'll grateful to Heaven.

28
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:21,050
Your Excellency, don't say such words.

29
00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:25,340
You'd never know what may came true.

30
00:02:25,340 --> 00:02:28,380
Ah!. Touch wood, touch wood...

31
00:02:28,380 --> 00:02:30,430
Greetings, Prince Yu.

32
00:02:30,430 --> 00:02:34,030
- Minister Qi, have a seat.<br>- Thank you.

33
00:02:34,030 --> 00:02:36,970
- Serve tea.<br>- Yes.

34
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:41,090
How was it?

35
00:02:41,090 --> 00:02:45,560
Magistrate Gao is a smart man

36
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,070
in only 1 day,

37
00:02:47,070 --> 00:02:51,110
he's prepared all the relevant documents of the Lan Mansion case,

38
00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:54,270
- and submitted it to my Ministry of Justice.<br>- Good.

39
00:02:54,270 --> 00:02:57,320
I feel better that this case is in your hands.

40
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,510
This is just my brief report.

41
00:03:00,510 --> 00:03:03,940
Once I investigate this case,

42
00:03:03,940 --> 00:03:06,050
I will

43
00:03:06,050 --> 00:03:09,590
make sure that Minister Lou is punished.

44
00:03:09,590 --> 00:03:13,290
At which time, should the Minister of Finance is removed,

45
00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:15,930
it's up to you, my Lord

46
00:03:15,930 --> 00:03:17,810
to play your hand.

47
00:03:17,810 --> 00:03:20,140
You need to work harder during this period

48
00:03:20,140 --> 00:03:23,700
and make sure you close this case.

49
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,300
Yes.

50
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,510
You just moved here.

51
00:03:33,510 --> 00:03:36,890
What are you meditating on?

52
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:40,450
The Crown Prince and Prince Yu has been jousting for many years.

53
00:03:40,450 --> 00:03:45,030
Their division of power in the 6 Ministries is really quite even.

54
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,810
<i> Subbed and Timer by the Lang Ya Bang Team @ Viki</i>

55
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:58,860
The Ministry of Justice,

56
00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:01,620
Ministry of Personnel and Ministry of Public Works

57
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:03,750
are Prince Yus' people.

58
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:09,480
The Ministry of State Revenue, Martial Affairs and Rites are the Crown Princes' people.

59
00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:15,280
You want to take down their pawns one by one.

60
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,840
I want to remove more than the 6 Ministries.

61
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,000
It should be noted that it is the military.

62
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,080
Duke Qing is on Prince Yu's side.

63
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,470
Marquis of Ning is Crown Prince people.

64
00:04:32,470 --> 00:04:35,680
Due to Mansion Lan's hidden corpses case,

65
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,500
Crown Prince lost his Minister Luo.

66
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,920
For Bing Province case,

67
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,290
Prince Yu will also lost Duke Qing.

68
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,950
But Prince Yu will not necessarily give up hope

69
00:04:54,950 --> 00:05:00,910
Perhaps he will come to me. Again wondering, <br>How to save Duke Qing?

70
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,270
Chief, Prince Yu is here. He's at the door now.

71
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,870
Oh, you are accurate in your prediction.

72
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:16,280
That I should avoid it.

73
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:42,410
Greetings, Prince Yu.

74
00:05:46,370 --> 00:05:49,100
<i> Subbed and Timer by the Lang Ya Bang Team @ Viki</i>

75
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:51,720
Your Highness Prince Yu, please.

76
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,430
Mr Su, have you heard about the Bing Province case?

77
00:06:00,430 --> 00:06:02,620
I know some.

78
00:06:02,620 --> 00:06:07,620
That old couple passed through Jiangzuo <br>and caused a bit of issue then.

79
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:12,160
Do you mind that issue?

80
00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:18,760
That clash of interest happened because we <br>didn't know your rules, it's just a misunderstanding.

81
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,700
Since you are so magnanimous, I appreciated that.

82
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,730
This case has troubled me greatly, hope you may enlighten me.

83
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,200
Why? Has His Majesty started the trial?

84
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:42,250
Father has summoned Prince Jing today

85
00:06:42,250 --> 00:06:46,430
and ordered him to be in-charge of this case with the help of 3 judicial departments.

86
00:06:46,430 --> 00:06:47,930
Really?

87
00:06:47,930 --> 00:06:50,490
Prince Jing, what a rare guest!

88
00:06:50,490 --> 00:06:53,230
You have always being stationed in our army, <br>you have worked hard!

89
00:06:53,230 --> 00:06:55,480
It's rare that you are allowed to stay in capital but

90
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,880
why are you here when you should be resting at home?

91
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,150
You and Crown Prince didn't object to this arrangement?

92
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:12,200
Father has stated that both of us should not interfere in this case.

93
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,670
With Prince Jing's temper, this trial will still benefit the Crown Prince.

94
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:20,860
Eastern Palace has no reason to object, as for me...

95
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,530
You wanted to avoid suspicion?

96
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,190
You should know the relationship between the Prime Minister and me.

97
00:07:32,190 --> 00:07:34,890
It's already lucky that this case did not fall into the Crown Prince's hand.

98
00:07:34,890 --> 00:07:39,040
I'm just worried that with Prince Jing's temper

99
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,210
it's hard to talk to him.

100
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:46,550
I thought he still owns you a favor?

101
00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:52,340
You may not know the character of my 7th brother.

102
00:07:52,340 --> 00:07:57,630
I have never seen such a stubborn and inflexible person in court.

103
00:07:57,630 --> 00:08:00,240
Sometimes, even our father cannot deal with him.

104
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,760
That little favor may not be good enough to order him around.

105
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,670
So, do you mean that

106
00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:12,610
I should devise a plan to control Prince Jing?

107
00:08:12,610 --> 00:08:16,950
So that Prince Jing can let your man live?

108
00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:19,610
If you can save Duke Qing,

109
00:08:19,610 --> 00:08:22,190
I will be very grateful.

110
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,970
Today the King called me to the palace and order me to serve this case.

111
00:08:32,970 --> 00:08:36,220
Punishment of Supreme Court and Associate Division teamwork.

112
00:08:36,220 --> 00:08:41,300
Following protocol, I need 2 senior officer from your department to assist me.

113
00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:44,650
The main trial hall will also be here.

114
00:08:44,650 --> 00:08:49,080
Minister Qi must also arrange the necessary rooms and guards for the trial.

115
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:53,500
There is this sort of thing?

116
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:56,820
I think the order was delayed.

117
00:08:56,820 --> 00:09:00,050
I did not received the royal order

118
00:09:00,050 --> 00:09:03,570
Did you received any order or documents

119
00:09:03,570 --> 00:09:06,580
I did not received any documents.

120
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,600
See?

121
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,480
I am here to tell you the order.

122
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Secretariat will be issued official correspondence.

123
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,960
Prince Jing, I'm not trying to embarrass you.

124
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,970
If I didn't receive any document, I can't follow your order.

125
00:09:20,970 --> 00:09:24,850
Plus, there has been too many cases lately.

126
00:09:24,850 --> 00:09:27,770
It been all put together.

127
00:09:27,770 --> 00:09:31,830
You see, the King join government <br>just to transfer the case up.

128
00:09:31,830 --> 00:09:34,370
This material is still not hand in to staff yet.

129
00:09:34,370 --> 00:09:37,920
Since the Duke Qing's case has been <br>shelved for a while now.

130
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,770
I believe you're not in any hurry either.

131
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,570
How long is Minister Qi going to take to prepare?

132
00:09:47,570 --> 00:09:51,020
What kind of solution do you have in mind? You can say it.

133
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,660
If you really have this mindset

134
00:09:55,660 --> 00:09:58,360
Then I will just have to say

135
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,420
There are many roads in life

136
00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:03,780
Why do you have to choose a dead end?

137
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:07,380
What do you mean by this?

138
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:10,440
You are a royal member.

139
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,610
You are loved by the King and respected by officials.

140
00:10:13,610 --> 00:10:17,020
You are very popular and can compete with the Prince.

141
00:10:17,020 --> 00:10:19,130
But you forgot

142
00:10:19,130 --> 00:10:21,870
No matter how much power you hold

143
00:10:21,870 --> 00:10:27,400
In Da Liang, you cannot compete with this person.

144
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,220
And that is your father, the King

145
00:10:31,220 --> 00:10:35,740
What are you saying? I never saw my father as an enemy.

146
00:10:35,740 --> 00:10:40,400
If you are here to serve the case, the document should be here soon.

147
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,060
All the people and item will not be a lot.

148
00:10:43,060 --> 00:10:46,190
I will not let you wait long.

149
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:49,600
Here, I will rush them.

150
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,610
At most, 10 or 14 days.

151
00:10:52,610 --> 00:10:56,240
I promised you will get everything, how about that?

152
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,650
Tomorrow, the document must be here. I will come back.

153
00:11:03,650 --> 00:11:07,060
You can think about how to answer me then.

154
00:11:07,060 --> 00:11:09,100
Oh, look at what you're saying.

155
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:13,690
Prince Jing, I am--

156
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:21,400
Who do you think is serving this case?

157
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,620
Is it the Crown Prince?

158
00:11:23,620 --> 00:11:25,650
Or Prince Jing?

159
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:30,210
It is not any of them. It is the King.

160
00:11:30,210 --> 00:11:33,360
Why must he sent the Investigation Bureau for this case?

161
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,600
Why ask Prince Jing to be in-charge of this case?

162
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,940
He wanted to use this case to <br>stop similar cases regarding land issues.

163
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:48,190
You been fighting with the Crown Prince for many years. The King can understand

164
00:11:48,190 --> 00:11:52,880
But he will not understand you for blocking his right to serve the country.

165
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:58,790
His Majesty has already 'judged' the <br>Bing Province case in his mind.

166
00:11:58,790 --> 00:12:03,380
If you tried to mess with the case and disturb the court protocol.

167
00:12:03,380 --> 00:12:06,820
Then who will be the frustrated one?

168
00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:14,020
You are right

169
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:20,940
To save Duke Qing, you may lost His Majesty in the process.

170
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:25,270
Who is weighted more, have you thought about it?

171
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,260
If there isn't any other solutions

172
00:12:31,260 --> 00:12:34,680
Duke Qing is already retain his job.

173
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:39,370
I think you understand, right?

174
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:44,000
We are here on imperial order to capture court criminals.

175
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,250
Duke Qing aka Bai Ye and his brother Bai Xun,

176
00:12:47,250 --> 00:12:51,390
their 2 sons and 3 nephews will be detained.

177
00:12:51,390 --> 00:12:54,390
- Stop there.<br>- Female members will be confined to the inner house.

178
00:12:54,390 --> 00:12:57,290
Further judgement will be passed later.

179
00:12:57,290 --> 00:13:00,630
-What are you doing?

180
00:13:00,630 --> 00:13:02,540
Go!

181
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,800
Do you know

182
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,200
how important the Duke Qing?

183
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,970
I know it,

184
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,200
According to our system, literary minister andamp; military officers<br>have their own scope of duty.

185
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,950
The military rarely interfere in court affairs.

186
00:13:32,950 --> 00:13:35,540
Duke Qing is the first and

187
00:13:35,540 --> 00:13:40,210
the only (military officer) to openly display his support for you.

188
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,860
In regarding political merits

189
00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:49,690
or my control over the 6 Ministries,

190
00:13:49,690 --> 00:13:52,530
I'm not inferior to Crown Prince.

191
00:13:52,530 --> 00:13:54,380
But on the military side,

192
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,040
I missed the chance to gather support of Marquis of Ning, Xie Yu

193
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,720
and lost my advantage in this game.

194
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,010
You shifted out of Marquis's mansion here in a hurry.

195
00:14:11,010 --> 00:14:13,590
I'm sure there's more to this matter.

196
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:17,840
I'm just a pugilist

197
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,970
and live a carefree life without any proper etiquette.

198
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,000
In that serious Marquis mansion, I'm not used to the style.

199
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:33,860
If you want to live according to your style, nobody can stop you.

200
00:14:33,860 --> 00:14:37,690
With your talent, you can see the situation clearly.

201
00:14:37,690 --> 00:14:42,060
I'm sure you don't need other's advice. But I still want to say that

202
00:14:42,060 --> 00:14:46,190
regardless of your choice in the future,

203
00:14:46,190 --> 00:14:49,160
if you are willingly

204
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,710
I will also welcome you.

205
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,920
May I ask, the general...

206
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,670
I am Prince Jing's subordinate, Lei Zhanying.

207
00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:09,600
His Majesty has placed Prince Jing in-charge <br>of Duke Qing's case.

208
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,100
Since the plaintiff is under your care,

209
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:16,320
Prince Jing order me to escort them to our place. <br>Hope that the timing is appropriate.

210
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,690
Of course. Since Prince Jing is in-charge of this case,

211
00:15:19,690 --> 00:15:23,920
I should let him have the plaintiff. The documents are also ready for him.

212
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,860
You just need to check the documents and endorse on it to take the plaintiff.

213
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:30,150
You have made it so easy, thank you.

214
00:15:30,150 --> 00:15:33,950
Come on, it's all for the emperor.

215
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:37,530
Crown Prince has sent a message that

216
00:15:37,530 --> 00:15:42,120
Prince Jing is doing hard work, <br>we must not create more trouble.

217
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,830
This way!

218
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,500
Yes.

219
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:01,440
Mister, do you have any other words to say?

220
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:05,340
In my opinion,

221
00:16:05,340 --> 00:16:08,450
your Highness should drop Duke Qing

222
00:16:08,450 --> 00:16:10,740
and support Prince Jing instead.

223
00:16:10,740 --> 00:16:12,920
Support Prince Jing?

224
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:22,190
But he is a Prince and has imperial order to do his duty, <br>who will make things difficult for him?

225
00:16:22,190 --> 00:16:24,870
Why it needs my support?

226
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,120
Prince Jing has imperial order to do his duty, Minister Qi won't make things too difficult for him.

227
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,060
But...

228
00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:38,800
he may delay some time.

229
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,450
It's important for him to gather support from the Ministry of Justice

230
00:16:44,450 --> 00:16:48,110
but I am not referring to this Bing Province case only.

231
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,420
You meant?

232
00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:56,950
This case is just a start. After this case is closed,

233
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,600
I'm sure there will be more similar cases.

234
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,020
These cases will also implicate more<br>important household names.

235
00:17:05,020 --> 00:17:08,430
Just Prince Jing, how can he handle it?

236
00:17:08,430 --> 00:17:10,600
If you can help him

237
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,220
to settle the conflicts and

238
00:17:14,220 --> 00:17:18,060
help His Majesty to push his national policy.

239
00:17:18,060 --> 00:17:19,970
At that time,

240
00:17:19,970 --> 00:17:24,450
Prince Jing will be grateful to you.

241
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,040
You mean that

242
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,540
I should gather Prince Jing's support?

243
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,490
I had that intention since Princess Nihuang's incident.

244
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,220
You have already schemed and planned since long.

245
00:17:40,220 --> 00:17:44,170
I am interested to hear your reason.

246
00:17:44,170 --> 00:17:47,550
Duke Qing is nothing.

247
00:17:47,550 --> 00:17:53,120
With regards to military power, two Duke Qing is not even half as good as Prince Jing.

248
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,000
I will be happy to gather Prince Jing's support

249
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,740
but with his character,

250
00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:12,540
I'm afraid that when I need his help in future,

251
00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:15,120
he may not listen to my deployment.

252
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:20,000
Why do you need to deploy military army?

253
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,160
Are you trying to stage a revolt?

254
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,840
Why do you say that?

255
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,450
Great, we shall see the end.

256
00:18:27,450 --> 00:18:30,760
Prince Yu wanted to get rid of Luo Zhijing?

257
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,820
We shall not give Duke Qing a chance either.

258
00:18:34,820 --> 00:18:39,760
Your Highness don't need to worry about Duke Qing's case.

259
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,030
Even if Prince Yu tried to do his tricks,

260
00:18:42,030 --> 00:18:45,300
Xiao Jingyan will not give way.

261
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:49,840
But the Mansion Lan's case is with Ministry of Justice now

262
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,760
and Luo Zhijing's case cannot be covered anymore.

263
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,090
The position for Minister of Trade will be vacant soon.

264
00:18:57,090 --> 00:19:01,230
Your Highness, you should quickly recommend someone to take over this vacancy.

265
00:19:01,230 --> 00:19:04,730
You are right. Without Luo Zhijing,

266
00:19:04,730 --> 00:19:07,390
it's as good as removing one of my arms.

267
00:19:07,390 --> 00:19:09,130
No matter who goes up there,

268
00:19:09,130 --> 00:19:11,620
don't let anyone get this spot!

269
00:19:11,620 --> 00:19:15,310
Your Highness, the situation may not be rosy recently

270
00:19:15,310 --> 00:19:17,590
but we still have control on the overall.

271
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:19,760
Your Highness should not be too anxious.

272
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,690
With Mei Changsu around,

273
00:19:21,690 --> 00:19:24,310
hoe can I stay calm?

274
00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:28,350
Regardless of where he is, you must remove him.

275
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,190
Since you aren't staging a revolt, <br>why do you need to deploy the army?

276
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,090
In this capital, His Majesty has direct control over<br> the Imperial Palace Army.

277
00:19:44,090 --> 00:19:46,820
General Meng is also guarding the palace.

278
00:19:46,820 --> 00:19:51,100
If there's any situation, an imperial edict

279
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:55,760
would kill all chances to stage a revolt.

280
00:19:57,700 --> 00:19:59,940
You are right.

281
00:19:59,940 --> 00:20:02,240
Xie Yu's guards are small

282
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,330
and cannot be compared to General Meng's army.

283
00:20:05,330 --> 00:20:10,440
That's why you should work on His Majesty himself.

284
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:17,410
Those military supports are just a matter of obligation.

285
00:20:17,410 --> 00:20:20,300
Why do you need full control over them?

286
00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:25,770
Think about it again,

287
00:20:25,770 --> 00:20:29,450
if the Crown Prince really placed His Majesty in danger

288
00:20:29,450 --> 00:20:31,970
or opposed imperial order.

289
00:20:31,970 --> 00:20:34,110
With Prince Jing's character,

290
00:20:34,110 --> 00:20:36,770
do you think your order is required

291
00:20:36,770 --> 00:20:39,490
to fight back?

292
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:49,090
That's right. Prince Jing is a just person.

293
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:52,580
It's good that he don't show his support.

294
00:20:52,580 --> 00:20:55,960
Of course, everything should have its limit.

295
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:02,380
You just need to cooperate and be friendly. You don't need to overdo things either.

296
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:09,970
Tomorrow, I should visit Prince Jing on your behalf.

297
00:21:09,970 --> 00:21:13,530
He is not close to court politics and do things without much considerations.

298
00:21:13,530 --> 00:21:15,540
If I don't remind him about it,

299
00:21:15,540 --> 00:21:19,560
he may not realize that your Highness is cooperating with him.

300
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,850
Please accept my bow.

301
00:21:21,850 --> 00:21:24,320
What is this for?

302
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,030
For all your hard work and planning, you deserve this bow.

303
00:21:29,030 --> 00:21:32,360
Relax. Since I got your answer today,

304
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:35,550
your safety will be interconnected with me.

305
00:21:35,550 --> 00:21:40,360
If Crown Prince or Xie Yu tried to mess with you, I won't agree.

306
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:46,050
As for Jingyan, I will depend on you.

307
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:52,070
Mister, your health isn't good. <br>You don't have to drop me off.

308
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:55,870
If you catch a cold, I will feel bad too.

309
00:21:55,870 --> 00:21:59,030
I appreciate it.

310
00:21:59,030 --> 00:22:02,400
Be careful, <br>-Okay.

311
00:22:20,710 --> 00:22:22,750
Here Mr. Su,

312
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:31,500
Why were you talking to Prince Yu for a long time?

313
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:33,570
This person is very secretive.

314
00:22:33,570 --> 00:22:35,410
Cannot be easily target.

315
00:22:35,410 --> 00:22:37,740
Must put in more time

316
00:22:38,260 --> 00:22:39,150
Right,

317
00:22:39,150 --> 00:22:41,070
Tomorrow I will have to go to Prince Jing's home

318
00:22:41,070 --> 00:22:43,670
Give me Golden Armor

319
00:22:43,670 --> 00:22:45,570
Ah! Will there be danger?

320
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,700
Princess Nihuang has sent Tingsheng to Prince Jing.

321
00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:56,410
I want to prepare a gift for him.

322
00:22:57,930 --> 00:23:01,630
But this gift, isn't it a bit too expensive?

323
00:23:01,630 --> 00:23:02,540
Say it again.

324
00:23:02,540 --> 00:23:05,090
As a Chief, you gave that kid a gift.

325
00:23:05,090 --> 00:23:07,710
Isn't that too obvious?

326
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:13,410
That's also right.

327
00:23:13,410 --> 00:23:15,500
Then, how do you say?

328
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,600
Fei Liu!

329
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,860
You have been eating melons for the whole day.

330
00:23:27,860 --> 00:23:29,270
- Chief?<br>- You may have diarrhea.

331
00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:30,630
You cannot eat so many in future.

332
00:23:30,630 --> 00:23:32,920
- You can only eat one each day.<br>- Ah?

333
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,870
Ah what?

334
00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:36,490
Come on down.

335
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:45,460
Do you still remember young brother Tingsheng?

336
00:23:46,410 --> 00:23:49,470
Shall we visit him?

337
00:23:51,030 --> 00:23:53,970
Did he gave you an little eagle?

338
00:23:53,970 --> 00:23:55,800
I have to return a gift.

339
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,530
I already prepared it.

340
00:23:57,530 --> 00:23:59,920
Tomorrow, you bring it to him.

341
00:24:03,060 --> 00:24:04,850
Are you mad?

342
00:24:08,140 --> 00:24:10,330
You can eat two tomorrow

343
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,530
Yes.

344
00:24:18,530 --> 00:24:20,610
It's more appropriate for Fei Liu to give him the gift.

345
00:24:20,610 --> 00:24:22,650
Everyone knows about his character.

346
00:24:22,650 --> 00:24:25,760
We normally see whether he is happy or not, willing or not.

347
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,570
I suppose nobody will notice the value of the gift.

348
00:24:29,570 --> 00:24:31,910
Fei Liu is indeed most suitable...

349
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:49,440
Prince Yu, why did you come personally?

350
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,930
Do you have anything to order me?

351
00:24:52,930 --> 00:24:55,040
I do have something in mind.

352
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,470
His Majesty has issued an imperial edict

353
00:24:56,470 --> 00:24:58,350
to start the trial of Duke Qing's Bing Province case.

354
00:24:58,350 --> 00:25:00,650
Prince Jing is in-charge of the trial and the 3 judicial department will assist him.

355
00:25:00,650 --> 00:25:03,480
For that matter, I'm aware of what to do.

356
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,300
Just now, Prince Jing came by and

357
00:25:06,300 --> 00:25:08,650
asked me for manpower and stuff.

358
00:25:08,650 --> 00:25:10,430
But things aren't so easy.

359
00:25:10,430 --> 00:25:12,880
These years, he must have been away for too long

360
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,010
and the flow of our court protocol

361
00:25:14,010 --> 00:25:15,660
wasn't familiar to him.

362
00:25:15,660 --> 00:25:17,840
It's easy to deal with him.

363
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,140
With a few simple words,

364
00:25:19,140 --> 00:25:21,300
I manage to send him away.

365
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,830
You sent Prince Jing away?

366
00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:28,400
Yes.

367
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,900
Who asked you to do that?

368
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:46,090
Father-in-law.

369
00:25:46,530 --> 00:25:48,740
Have you sent those people?

370
00:25:48,740 --> 00:25:50,600
Yes, they have left.

371
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,390
Are you confident this time?

372
00:25:54,170 --> 00:25:56,050
We will do our best.

373
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,050
Fei Liu, look at this.

374
00:26:21,050 --> 00:26:24,100
This is the gift for younger brother Tingsheng.

375
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:25,620
Do you like it?

376
00:26:27,970 --> 00:26:29,600
I do not want.

377
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,520
Fei Liu don't like it because you are highly skilled.

378
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,050
This is useless to you.

379
00:26:36,050 --> 00:26:39,120
But Tingsheng is young and poorly skilled.

380
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:43,500
If he wears this protection vest and other people <br>bullies him, he won't be hurt.

381
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:45,020
I'm sure he will like this.

382
00:26:45,020 --> 00:26:46,760
Really?

383
00:26:58,190 --> 00:26:59,740
Go.

384
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,580
Mr. Su

385
00:27:39,580 --> 00:27:42,470
All problem solved, none is alive.

386
00:27:42,850 --> 00:27:44,470
This time they will probably know

387
00:27:44,470 --> 00:27:47,770
That Su Residence is a lot difficult to enter compared to Ning Residence

388
00:28:00,060 --> 00:28:01,640
Mr Su,

389
00:28:07,230 --> 00:28:11,490
Our house and Prince Jing's mansion are just separated by a back alley

390
00:28:11,490 --> 00:28:14,320
but it's quite far if we came by the main street.

391
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,540
It took us about 1 hr to come here.

392
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,850
I'm 17 years old now.

393
00:28:27,850 --> 00:28:29,770
Father allows me to have my own residence outside the palace.

394
00:28:29,770 --> 00:28:31,250
This place was chosen by my big brother.

395
00:28:31,250 --> 00:28:32,500
How is it?

396
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:33,960
Go!

397
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,130
Brother Qi's choice is not bad.

398
00:28:40,130 --> 00:28:41,330
I'm not like you.

399
00:28:41,330 --> 00:28:42,830
Even if I'm 17 years old,

400
00:28:42,830 --> 00:28:45,880
my father will not allow me to have my own residence.

401
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,970
We are good brothers, what's mine is also yours.

402
00:28:48,970 --> 00:28:50,940
-Go! <br>-Go!

403
00:28:58,340 --> 00:29:01,080
This place is still the same as old times.

404
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,860
Nothing has changed at all.

405
00:29:13,050 --> 00:29:14,080
Mr Su.

406
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,040
Prince Jing.

407
00:29:16,660 --> 00:29:19,280
Tingsheng pay respects to Mr Su.

408
00:29:20,970 --> 00:29:23,780
Here, Tingsheng. Do get up.

409
00:29:25,730 --> 00:29:27,530
Brother Fei Liu.

410
00:29:27,530 --> 00:29:29,120
For you!

411
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:36,950
Thanks!

412
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:39,860
Golden Armor

413
00:29:39,860 --> 00:29:41,760
This is a precious gift

414
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,500
This gift is too precious, I cannot accept this

415
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:47,950
What is the use of telling me that? This is from Fei Liu

416
00:29:47,950 --> 00:29:50,250
Go tell Fei Liu yourself

417
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,520
Please come this way, sir

418
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:07,500
Your Highness

419
00:30:09,230 --> 00:30:10,600
This is Su Zhe

420
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,080
He is my friend

421
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,930
Please look after him in the future.

422
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,180
Mr. Su

423
00:30:21,130 --> 00:30:22,110
Zhanyin,

424
00:30:22,110 --> 00:30:24,870
you will chair the rest of the meeting.

425
00:30:25,220 --> 00:30:26,660
They are having a meeting here,

426
00:30:26,660 --> 00:30:29,580
let's speak at the study.

427
00:30:29,580 --> 00:30:31,040
Here.

428
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:50,700
<i> Subbed and Timer by the Lang Ya Bang Team @ Viki</i>

429
00:30:59,410 --> 00:31:03,070
When Su Xianshengs' name card was delivered, we were just discussing some official matters.

430
00:31:03,070 --> 00:31:04,760
They wanted to see,

431
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,260
what this Su Zhe, who've recently became quite famous in the Capitol,

432
00:31:08,260 --> 00:31:11,220
really looks like. Hence...

433
00:31:11,220 --> 00:31:14,110
Hence we took a few more steps...

434
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,490
Please.

435
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,600
Su Xiansheng what's the matter?<br> You don't look so well.

436
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,880
It's nothing. It's just today, <br>feels a little colder than yesterday.

437
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,030
Of course, <br> it's the Winter Solstice.

438
00:31:40,030 --> 00:31:42,120
- Attendants!<br>- Here.

439
00:31:42,850 --> 00:31:45,510
- Bring a brazier.<br>- Yes.

440
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,480
Much thanks.

441
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,380
- Please have a seat Su Xiansheng.<br>- Alright.

442
00:31:55,900 --> 00:32:01,580
I do not usually keep a fire,<br>so slipped my mind that Xiansheng, you do not savor the cold.

443
00:32:01,580 --> 00:32:05,280
I heard that Xiansheng is moving recently.

444
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,060
Please excuse that I could not personally congratulate you on that.

445
00:32:08,060 --> 00:32:12,100
- How did my Lord know that?<br>-I heard from Mu Qing.

446
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,730
The reason for my visit today,<br> is to extend good will from Prince Yu.

447
00:32:34,730 --> 00:32:40,250
For the land grab case, <br>my Lord can investigate without worry,

448
00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:44,940
I had no worries to begin with.

449
00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:47,260
My Lord has been to the Bureau of Justice?

450
00:32:47,260 --> 00:32:49,220
Was Qi Min co-operating?

451
00:32:49,220 --> 00:32:54,980
No matter if he co-operates or not, this case shall be dealt with in the manner that it should.

452
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,240
Ready!<br>Kill!

453
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,950
Fei Liu-gege,<br>this is the practice grounds of the Princes' Hall.

454
00:33:01,950 --> 00:33:04,230
I need to train here for 6hrs each day.

455
00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:07,160
Sometimes, even Prince Jing comes to guide me.

456
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,210
Ready!

457
00:33:08,210 --> 00:33:10,550
He is really weak.

458
00:33:11,340 --> 00:33:14,710
Fei Liu, watch your tongue.

459
00:33:14,710 --> 00:33:16,750
Uncle Meng is better.

460
00:33:16,750 --> 00:33:20,310
How can you compare Commander Meng with Prince Jing.

461
00:33:20,310 --> 00:33:22,770
I am the best.

462
00:33:22,770 --> 00:33:26,650
General Bian, do you know who that is?

463
00:33:26,650 --> 00:33:29,030
No...

464
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,820
Regarding this case, what does My Lord think?

465
00:33:42,820 --> 00:33:46,440
I have reviewed the list of evidences, <br>tis not a hard case to examine

466
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,420
Duke Qing not only connived, <br>he's the principle culprit.

467
00:33:50,420 --> 00:33:54,450
Duke Qing is a Marquise General of the second rank.<br>With the right to receive a pardon from the Emperor.

468
00:33:54,450 --> 00:33:57,240
Having committed 3 murders,<br>no pardon can be bestowed.

469
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,060
He was in the Capitol,<br> the murders were not committed by him personally.

470
00:34:02,060 --> 00:34:05,130
The massacre at Zhu Village,<br> there are illicit letters as evidence.

471
00:34:05,130 --> 00:34:10,260
They were not written by him,<br> but by a clerk in his employ.

472
00:34:10,260 --> 00:34:12,630
I invited the clerk here last night.

473
00:34:12,630 --> 00:34:16,110
Today he's given me a confession.<br>Not an unyielding man.

474
00:34:16,110 --> 00:34:20,150
Oh, my Lord 'invited' him.

475
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:25,020
From the evidence chain presented by Xuanjing Bureau,

476
00:34:25,020 --> 00:34:27,150
to be able to discover this missing link

477
00:34:27,150 --> 00:34:31,680
and to counter so quickly and effectively,<br>I am impressed my Lord.

478
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,210
Our Lord has fought for years on the battle field,

479
00:34:36,210 --> 00:34:40,030
who are you to question his abilities.

480
00:34:40,030 --> 00:34:41,820
I am Fei Liu.

481
00:34:41,820 --> 00:34:43,730
- Fei Liu?<br>- Oh,

482
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,370
Are you the Fei Liu, who attends to the Master of Jiangzuo Alliance, Mei Changsu,

483
00:34:49,370 --> 00:34:52,070
the one who've challenged Commander Meng after arriving in the Capitol,

484
00:34:52,070 --> 00:34:54,790
and also defeated Executive Officer Xia Dong

485
00:34:54,790 --> 00:34:58,330
You are correct.<br> That is me.

486
00:34:58,330 --> 00:35:00,530
What the Court is most worried about, at the moment,

487
00:35:00,530 --> 00:35:02,940
is Lords from the various states should form an alliance.

488
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,600
Hence, my Lord, when dealing with different cases,<br> you must strike the right notes.

489
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,800
For some, be lenient, others harsh.

490
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,820
Do not let them know your intentions. <br>In this way,

491
00:35:12,820 --> 00:35:16,460
the gains of the various Households will be disparate, <br>they will suspect each other.

492
00:35:16,460 --> 00:35:19,220
And so, an alliance will have no chance to form.

493
00:35:19,220 --> 00:35:21,980
Xiansheng, you have sound reasoning.

494
00:35:21,980 --> 00:35:25,460
If I make no exceptions,<br>perhaps

495
00:35:25,460 --> 00:35:27,750
we'd not achieve the effect we're after.

496
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,940
Since Prince Yu is willing to assist,

497
00:35:34,940 --> 00:35:36,680
do give him some Face.

498
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,560
Should my Lord find someone aligned to him,

499
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,980
pick some excusable ones,

500
00:35:41,980 --> 00:35:46,050
and be lenient,<br>as a way to acknowledge his assistance.

501
00:35:47,700 --> 00:35:50,550
He should be utilizing all his powers to protect Duke Qing.

502
00:35:50,550 --> 00:35:55,380
Why would he use someone so useful to him<br> to extend good will to someone like me?

503
00:35:55,380 --> 00:35:59,660
My Lord, you are quite important to him at the moment.

504
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:06,070
To make me seem important,

505
00:36:06,070 --> 00:36:09,600
To convince Prince Yu to give up on Duke Qing

506
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,160
and to make Xie Yu slip up.

507
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,500
I am grateful to you.<br>

508
00:36:14,500 --> 00:36:18,270
Why my Lord, are you not willing to record my merits?

509
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,720
Go! Go! Go!

510
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:43,650
I understand what you mean,

511
00:36:43,650 --> 00:36:48,920
but, I don't want people to think that<br>I'm aligned with Prince Yu.

512
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:53,280
Not the Crown Prince nor Prince Yu,<br>I don't want to align with any of them.

513
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,920
The grievances my Lord had suffered these years<br> are known to many.

514
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,550
People will understand,<br>should you lower your standards a little.

515
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,920
I care not for the views of others,

516
00:37:10,700 --> 00:37:13,560
but the noble souls of the departed are watching.

517
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,790
I cannot allow them to think

518
00:37:15,790 --> 00:37:19,410
that I, Xiao Jingyan, <br>has succumbed.

519
00:37:22,300 --> 00:37:27,170
Being noble souls,<br>they'll know your heart.

520
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,440
What's the matter?<br> Xiansheng, are you still cold?

521
00:37:44,300 --> 00:37:49,200
No, it's nothing.<br>Bit numb from sitting so long.

522
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,430
Just need to stretch my legs.

523
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,930
Don't touch!

524
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:23,420
My apologies.

525
00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:34,440
Xiansheng, please don't take offense.

526
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,420
This is a personal effect of my friend.<br>Before he died,

527
00:38:39,420 --> 00:38:43,040
he did not like others touching his things.

528
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:53,320
The fault was mine, I beg your pardon.

529
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:58,690
It's the Ministry of State Revenue!<br>How can a mediocre person like Zhao Shijie handle it.

530
00:38:58,690 --> 00:39:01,190
Assistant Minister Zhao has great talent.<br>How is he mediocre?

531
00:39:01,190 --> 00:39:04,680
- How can you talk to your elder brother like this?<br>- This choice is really inappropriate.

532
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,590
I cannot be bothered to argue with you on this.

533
00:39:06,590 --> 00:39:08,850
- My Lord Father<br>- My Lord Father

534
00:39:08,850 --> 00:39:13,280
Okay, okay, enough!<br>You've been arguing for over an hour.

535
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,930
Even if you are not tiered, I am.

536
00:39:15,930 --> 00:39:19,900
Discus this another time.<br>You may take your leave.

537
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,020
- By your leave.<br>- By your leave.

538
00:39:34,900 --> 00:39:38,990
Your Majesty,<br>With whom to replace the former<br> Minister of State Revenue Lou Zhijing

539
00:39:38,990 --> 00:39:41,340
is an important state affair.

540
00:39:41,340 --> 00:39:44,740
It is only appropriate that the two Princes should have their own oppinions.

541
00:39:44,740 --> 00:39:49,140
Look at these suggestions,<br>so many choices,

542
00:39:49,140 --> 00:39:52,490
yet none can please all.

543
00:39:52,490 --> 00:39:54,690
At this rate,

544
00:39:54,690 --> 00:39:57,720
the Ministry shall be a mess.

545
00:39:57,720 --> 00:40:00,690
Shen Zhui, the acting Minister has been taking care of things.<br>

546
00:40:00,690 --> 00:40:03,550
For a short while, there should be no matter.

547
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,100
Shen Zhui?

548
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:17,100
