(Bullying My Women?
I'll Blow Up the Great Clans!)

4
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,399
Sit down.

5
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:45,839
Sit down and talk.

6
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,199
Young Madam Lin,

7
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,279
by doing this,

8
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,079
you will only put the Wei clan
in a dangerous position.

9
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:02,079
You cannot let this marriage

10
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:05,199
ruin the future of the entire Wei clan.

11
00:01:07,399 --> 00:01:08,399
Clan Leader Wei,

12
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,079
for a rebellious
descendant like Wei Hao,

13
00:01:12,679 --> 00:01:14,440
your clan doesn't expel him?

14
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,159
What are your thoughts?

15
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:18,479
Come up with a formal plan.

16
00:01:18,759 --> 00:01:21,280
How do you want
the Wei clan to handle this?

17
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:24,000
Now that this has happened,

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,799
none of us wants to see this.

19
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:28,439
But your continued aggression

20
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:29,679
is not the answer.

21
00:01:30,679 --> 00:01:33,439
This ultimately needs to be resolved.

22
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:35,200
On this matter,

23
00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:37,280
we still need to ask
our Clan Leaders' opinion.

24
00:01:38,039 --> 00:01:38,759
However,

25
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:41,479
if Wei Hao can call off the engagement,

26
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,560
I will treat this
as if it never happened

27
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,920
and let it go.

28
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,840
That's impossible.

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,920
What did you say?

30
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,159
Well,

31
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,120
we will take our leave now.

32
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,840
I hope the Wei clan
handles this properly.

33
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:03,599
Otherwise, Clan Leader Wei,

34
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:05,760
you should know

35
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:07,079
how we will treat

36
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:08,680
those members of the Wei clan.

37
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:27,799
Lin Luo,

38
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:31,159
do you really want me

39
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:33,959
to expel all of you from the clan?

40
00:02:35,079 --> 00:02:37,200
You'd better think this through.

41
00:02:40,519 --> 00:02:41,319
It's fine.

42
00:02:41,799 --> 00:02:44,000
Hao and I have already moved out anyway,

43
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:46,400
so it's no different
from being expelled.

44
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,040
You should still be
more cautious about this.

45
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,560
What is there to be cautious about?

46
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,759
My brother-in-law's eight sisters

47
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,120
and Hao's eight sisters

48
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,719
listened to your advice

49
00:02:57,719 --> 00:02:59,700
and married into
remote branches of these great clans.

50
00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:01,319
Not only do they live in poverty,

51
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,879
but we can't even look after them.

52
00:03:03,199 --> 00:03:04,960
To visit them, we have to go to Bashu.

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,960
A round trip takes over a year.

54
00:03:07,130 --> 00:03:09,070
They'd be better off
married here in the capital.

55
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:10,240
Cautious?

56
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,599
Regardless,

57
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,599
no one's advice will work this time.

58
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,319
Don't you realize

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,520
that if this matter

60
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,840
dissatisfies the other clans,

61
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,599
all of Wei Hao's sisters and aunts

62
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,240
might be divorced and sent away?

63
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:28,120
What?

64
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,960
How shameless!

65
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,639
Well,

66
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:34,520
it's not impossible.

67
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,960
After all, Wei Hao

68
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,800
was the first to break
the agreement between the great clans.

69
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:40,759
Clan Leader Wei,

70
00:03:41,479 --> 00:03:43,240
is this how these great clans do things?

71
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,590
They have no sense of reason at all.

72
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,520
No wonder Hao

73
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,560
has no respect for the great clans.

74
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:51,560
Go back and talk sense into Wei Hao.

75
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,759
He can't let all the female relatives

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,280
of his own clan be divorced

77
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,280
just because he wants to get married.

78
00:04:19,387 --> 00:04:21,987
(Wei Hao's Banquet)

79
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,319
Aunt?

80
00:04:33,390 --> 00:04:34,280
Is something wrong?

81
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:41,240
I just came from
the Clan Leader's place.

82
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,280
The great clans

83
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:45,520
are dissatisfied with the fact
that you are getting

84
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,840
engaged to the Eldest Princess.

85
00:04:47,719 --> 00:04:48,520
Hao,

86
00:04:48,919 --> 00:04:49,800
regarding this matter,

87
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,520
you really need to
consider it carefully.

88
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,879
What does it have to do with them?

89
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,500
You don't need to pay them any mind.

90
00:04:56,610 --> 00:04:58,500
It's true that it has
nothing to do with them.

91
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:00,959
But if you don't
call off the engagement,

92
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,839
your sisters

93
00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:04,399
will likely be divorced.

94
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:08,720
Including your father's sisters,

95
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,319
your aunts,

96
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:11,839
they could all be divorced.

97
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,120
They wouldn't dare!

98
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:14,759
Hao,

99
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:16,399
I didn't expect them to do this either.

100
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:19,000
But if we don't call off the engagement,
they really will do it.

101
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,759
I'm going to find them.

102
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:26,920
What's the use in finding them?

103
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,279
Are you going to give them a beating?

104
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,319
Give them a beating?

105
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:30,839
Beating them would
be letting them off easy!

106
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,079
I'm going to the Ministry
of Works for gunpowder.

107
00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:33,360
I'm going to blow them all!

108
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,500
How dare they bully
the women of the Wei clan?

109
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,240
Just because I'm getting married,

110
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,079
they forced all
the women already married out

111
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:40,120
of the Wei clan to be divorced?

112
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,199
How can I stand for this?

113
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:42,199
Hao,

114
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:43,480
don't be impulsive!

115
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,279
Don't worry, Aunt.

116
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:46,360
Believe it or not,

117
00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:47,720
even if I blow up the mansions

118
00:05:47,730 --> 00:05:49,920
of those great clans'
representatives in the capital,

119
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,510
they'll still have to come and beg me.

120
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,439
If they don't,

121
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:55,360
I'll uproot their great clans entirely!

122
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,000
I'll make sure that within ten years,
the term "great clan" no longer exists.

123
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,399
I...

124
00:05:58,399 --> 00:05:59,160
Hao!

125
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,439
Let go of me.

126
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:01,120
Let go.

127
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,439
No, I can blow them up
and get away with it.

128
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:03,439
I'm not stupid.

129
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:04,279
Hao,

130
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,920
think twice before you act.

131
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:12,000
Aunt,

132
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,839
let me handle things
my own way this time.

133
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:17,720
I'm going to pin them all to the ground

134
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,279
and then make them beg for my help.

135
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:21,439
Hao,

136
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:23,759
you cannot lie to me.

137
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,680
If they really go through with this,

138
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,360
worst case,
I'll give every woman in our clan

139
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,920
one hundred mu of land and a mansion.

140
00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:31,240
But if anything happens to you,
what am I supposed to do?

141
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,240
Aunt,

142
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,319
my father-in-law

143
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:36,120
is His Majesty, the Emperor.

144
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,040
What can they do to me?

145
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,320
Do you think I'm afraid of them?

146
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:40,120
That's how great clans are.

147
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,180
If you take a step back,
they'll push even further.

148
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:44,079
Wasn't it the same
with my glaze business?

149
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:45,240
Even now,

150
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,800
I still won't sell anything to them.

151
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:48,199
Just stay

152
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,120
out of this.

153
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,480
Hao.

154
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:54,000
Follow Young Master.

155
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,680
Don't let him start a fight.

156
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,040
Go now.

157
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:55,519
Yes.

158
00:06:55,812 --> 00:06:57,425
(Ganlu Palace)

159
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,560
Zhangsun Ying

160
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:03,319
wants six months off for a minor injury?

161
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:04,680
In my view,

162
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:07,600
he's just holding a grudge
because I betrothed Ning'an to Wei Hao.

163
00:07:16,087 --> 00:07:19,662
(Great Master)

164
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:22,160
The great clans

165
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,839
haven't moved against Wei Hao, right?

166
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,800
No.

167
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:27,040
There's no movement yet.

168
00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:28,240
However,

169
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:31,040
those representatives of
the great clans in the capital

170
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,560
went to Wei Yuanzhao's
mansion yesterday.

171
00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:36,000
Young Madam Lin went as well.

172
00:07:36,010 --> 00:07:37,350
They couldn't reach an agreement.

173
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,319
Young Madam Lin
refused to call off the wedding.

174
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,800
But on the great clans' side,

175
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,000
it is highly likely they will force

176
00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:47,240
divorces for the women
married out from Wei Hao's family.

177
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:48,160
What?

178
00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:51,519
Would the great clans really do that?

179
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:53,079
I believe

180
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:54,519
they would.

181
00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:57,879
They must give Wei Hao a warning.

182
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,600
At the same time,

183
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:01,680
they want Your Majesty to know

184
00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:03,199
that this matter

185
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:05,319
isn't just between
Wei Hao and the Princess.

186
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:06,279
It is also between

187
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,040
the great clans and Your Majesty.

188
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:10,680
If they fail

189
00:08:10,759 --> 00:08:12,920
to stop the two of them
from marrying this time,

190
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,079
it would prove

191
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:16,519
that the great clans have been

192
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,439
completely defeated by Your Majesty.

193
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,040
This is something those
clan leaders do not want to see.

194
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,279
Correct.

195
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,839
They will try to pressure Wei Hao.

196
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:27,800
But I didn't expect

197
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,399
them to be this shameless.

198
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,879
Those women

199
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:33,319
are all innocent.

200
00:08:33,319 --> 00:08:34,319
Some of them

201
00:08:34,319 --> 00:08:36,079
have been married for decades.

202
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,160
For them to do this,

203
00:08:37,199 --> 00:08:38,439
this is...

204
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,800
It's shameless.

205
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:44,000
Wei Hao is a very filial child.

206
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,839
If the women of his family

207
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:47,319
were to suffer such insults,

208
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:48,720
I feel

209
00:08:49,390 --> 00:08:50,920
that he likely wouldn't stand for it.

210
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,160
I didn't expect

211
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,759
the great clans to use such a method

212
00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:57,319
to put pressure on Wei Hao.

213
00:08:57,319 --> 00:08:58,079
This matter

214
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,600
depends on Wei Hao.

215
00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:01,519
But in my humble opinion,

216
00:09:02,319 --> 00:09:04,199
I'm afraid Wei Hao can't hold out.

217
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,679
(Cui Mansion)
Open up!

218
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:42,240
Who is it?

219
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:43,639
Me.

220
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,519
Marquis Wei.

221
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,000
Wait a moment.

222
00:09:47,010 --> 00:09:48,480
I'll go inform the head of the house.

223
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,600
Inform, my foot.

224
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:54,840
I'll give you one first

225
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:56,840
without the iron filings.

226
00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,440
Everyone inside,

227
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,279
get back.

228
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,320
If you get hurt later,

229
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:05,600
don't say I didn't warn you.

230
00:10:18,775 --> 00:10:19,312
(Zhuque Gate)

231
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,360
What was that sound?

232
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,960
- What happened?
- What happened?

233
00:10:22,025 --> 00:10:23,487
(Zhuque Gate)

234
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,480
Is the Ministry of Works
testing gunpowder?

235
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:30,399
Didn't I tell them to
test it outside the city?

236
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,679
Your Majesty,

237
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,720
the Imperial Guards will go and inquire.

238
00:10:45,820 --> 00:10:46,360
What's wrong?

239
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,240
Master!

240
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:47,960
What's going on?

241
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,159
Please come out and see.

242
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:49,799
The main gate...

243
00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:50,279
The main gate was...

244
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:50,799
Just say it.

245
00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:51,159
It was...

246
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,679
Right after that massive bang,

247
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,039
the gate opened.

248
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,159
What?

249
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:00,799
How...

250
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,159
