[Episode 4]
2
00:01:38,016 --> 00:01:39,415
He is handsome.
3
00:01:39,415 --> 00:01:40,896
Good-looking.
4
00:01:40,896 --> 00:01:42,656
Elegant.
5
00:01:42,656 --> 00:01:44,295
Charming.
6
00:01:44,295 --> 00:01:45,575
Refined.
7
00:01:45,575 --> 00:01:46,816
Gentle-manlike.
8
00:01:46,816 --> 00:01:50,295
I've never ever met such a handsome man here.
9
00:01:50,295 --> 00:01:53,177
Look at how elegantly he eats the mutton!
10
00:01:53,177 --> 00:01:54,775
He must be from Jiangnan.
11
00:01:54,775 --> 00:01:58,456
He looks just like a refined gentleman
stepping out of a painting.
12
00:01:58,456 --> 00:02:00,935
He looks so refined while eating.
13
00:02:00,935 --> 00:02:04,295
A good-looking person
makes everything they do pleasing to the eye.
14
00:02:04,295 --> 00:02:05,855
I'll go invite him for a drink.
15
00:02:05,855 --> 00:02:06,935
I'll go.
16
00:02:06,935 --> 00:02:08,015
I'll go.
17
00:02:08,015 --> 00:02:09,376
I'll go.
18
00:02:09,376 --> 00:02:10,376
I'll go.
19
00:02:10,376 --> 00:02:11,376
- I'll go.
- I'll go.
20
00:02:20,976 --> 00:02:23,056
Bring my treasured grape wine
to that gentleman.
21
00:02:28,415 --> 00:02:30,575
- Please, young master.
- Please, young master.
22
00:02:30,575 --> 00:02:32,816
Please, ladies.
23
00:02:34,816 --> 00:02:35,816
Come back!
24
00:02:40,816 --> 00:02:41,816
No need to give him the wine.
25
00:02:45,575 --> 00:02:46,575
Ms. Yan.
26
00:02:48,816 --> 00:02:50,855
I was sorry to help Jiang Mei Er before.
27
00:02:50,855 --> 00:02:52,816
Please tell your father
not to cut off our business.
28
00:02:52,816 --> 00:02:55,217
My father said
that if I can't restore our business,
29
00:02:55,217 --> 00:02:56,895
he will break my legs.
30
00:02:56,895 --> 00:02:59,536
Please mercifully forgive me this once.
31
00:02:59,536 --> 00:03:00,536
It's too late.
32
00:03:00,536 --> 00:03:03,216
When you helped Jiang Mei Er,
you should have thought of the consequences.
33
00:03:04,336 --> 00:03:06,615
I was wrong. I made a stupid mistake.
34
00:03:06,615 --> 00:03:07,855
Show mercy, please!
35
00:03:07,855 --> 00:03:10,496
Get out! You're affecting my business.
36
00:03:13,096 --> 00:03:15,895
Yan Fu Zhi,
are you really going to drive me to my death?
37
00:03:15,895 --> 00:03:17,295
Jiang Mei Er was indeed right.
38
00:03:17,295 --> 00:03:19,256
You are also an evil woman,
39
00:03:19,256 --> 00:03:20,256
just like Meng Ting Hui.
40
00:03:20,256 --> 00:03:22,175
Both of you are ruthless and heartless.
41
00:03:24,295 --> 00:03:25,376
How dare you insult Meng like that!
42
00:03:25,376 --> 00:03:28,496
Today, I'll make you know what you'll get
43
00:03:28,496 --> 00:03:30,175
after offending an evil and ruthless woman.
44
00:03:31,855 --> 00:03:32,855
Get up!
45
00:03:37,056 --> 00:03:38,056
Help!
46
00:03:40,735 --> 00:03:42,855
If you set foot in Bofeng again,
47
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:44,216
I'll beat you hard!
48
00:03:53,015 --> 00:03:54,015
Eat your food!
49
00:03:57,816 --> 00:04:01,056
You're beautiful yet so fierce and shrewish.
50
00:04:01,056 --> 00:04:04,175
You should
discipline your husband moderately.
51
00:04:04,175 --> 00:04:06,376
He isn't my husband. He's unfit for it.
52
00:04:06,376 --> 00:04:09,096
You're handsome yet brainless.
53
00:04:09,096 --> 00:04:10,735
All you know is to show off like a peacock
when you see a girl.
54
00:04:12,415 --> 00:04:13,895
Miss, what you said are hurtful.
55
00:04:15,136 --> 00:04:17,016
I was just kindly trying
to break up the fight.
56
00:04:17,016 --> 00:04:18,656
However, you have such a fiery temper.
57
00:04:18,656 --> 00:04:22,216
No wonder that gentleman
would rather get beaten than marry you.
58
00:04:22,216 --> 00:04:24,255
What? You get out too!
59
00:04:24,255 --> 00:04:27,855
Shut up, you playboy!
It's none of your business!
60
00:04:29,696 --> 00:04:31,136
Why can you make me leave?
61
00:04:32,815 --> 00:04:34,896
I am the boss of Bofeng.
62
00:04:34,896 --> 00:04:37,696
Now, get out!
63
00:04:40,336 --> 00:04:41,336
Get out!
64
00:04:43,615 --> 00:04:44,615
You...
65
00:04:46,136 --> 00:04:47,735
Get out!
66
00:04:47,735 --> 00:04:49,696
You really are shrewish and fierce.
67
00:04:49,696 --> 00:04:51,615
[Bofeng]
You are not allowed to come here again.
68
00:04:52,896 --> 00:04:53,896
Why can't I--
69
00:04:55,255 --> 00:04:57,137
Huang, why are you here?
70
00:04:57,137 --> 00:04:58,336
The young master ordered me to find you.
71
00:04:58,336 --> 00:05:00,415
Wait a moment, I need to reason with her.
72
00:05:00,415 --> 00:05:01,776
How dare she hit me with an abacus!
73
00:05:02,576 --> 00:05:05,656
Mr. Shen, you really can't mess with her.
74
00:05:06,976 --> 00:05:09,656
She's just a businesswoman.
What's so special about her?
75
00:05:09,656 --> 00:05:11,255
She is Meng Ting Hui's best friend.
76
00:05:12,255 --> 00:05:14,375
She even slashed at the young master
with a knife before.
77
00:05:16,815 --> 00:05:19,255
You mean our young master?
78
00:05:22,855 --> 00:05:23,855
Even so, can't I just stay away?
79
00:05:23,855 --> 00:05:24,855
Wait for me!
80
00:05:26,176 --> 00:05:29,776
[Shazhou Government Office]
81
00:05:29,776 --> 00:05:31,136
Sir, this way, please.
82
00:05:32,855 --> 00:05:34,536
As per Mr. Shen's instructions,
83
00:05:34,536 --> 00:05:37,935
we've arranged your accommodations
in the east wing of the government office.
84
00:05:37,935 --> 00:05:39,776
I will lead you there now.
85
00:05:41,776 --> 00:05:45,576
Which Mr. Shen are you talking about?
86
00:05:45,576 --> 00:05:46,576
That is me.
87
00:05:48,735 --> 00:05:49,735
Father.
88
00:05:49,735 --> 00:05:52,855
It's your handsome, refined,
89
00:05:52,855 --> 00:05:54,656
and graceful son.
90
00:05:54,656 --> 00:05:55,656
Shen Zhi Shu.
91
00:05:57,096 --> 00:05:58,096
Zhi Shu, you're here.
92
00:05:59,735 --> 00:06:02,256
My good son! Turn around.
93
00:06:02,256 --> 00:06:03,415
Let me take a good look at you.
94
00:06:04,576 --> 00:06:06,216
How dare you!
95
00:06:06,216 --> 00:06:07,935
You are so bold!
96
00:06:07,935 --> 00:06:09,495
How dare you assist His Majesty
in leaving the palace!
97
00:06:09,495 --> 00:06:11,615
You nearly endanger our Shen family!
98
00:06:12,415 --> 00:06:14,416
I'm just loyally serving His Majesty.
99
00:06:14,416 --> 00:06:15,656
Are you doing so?
100
00:06:15,656 --> 00:06:17,495
Our Shen family has been unblemished
for generations.
101
00:06:17,495 --> 00:06:20,096
How did I have a reckless son like you?
102
00:06:20,096 --> 00:06:21,536
- Father.
- Stop running!
103
00:06:21,536 --> 00:06:23,295
Father, I have an official position now!
104
00:06:23,295 --> 00:06:25,855
Beating a court official
is punishable by law!
105
00:06:25,855 --> 00:06:27,776
I'll beat you to death first
and then apologize to the late Emperor!
106
00:06:28,615 --> 00:06:29,615
Stop right there!
107
00:06:29,615 --> 00:06:30,776
Father!
108
00:06:30,776 --> 00:06:32,855
Put down your weapon immediately!
109
00:06:32,855 --> 00:06:34,336
If you kill me accidentally,
110
00:06:34,336 --> 00:06:35,856
there will be no one
to bury you after you die.
111
00:06:35,856 --> 00:06:37,536
How dare you curse your own father!
112
00:06:37,536 --> 00:06:39,255
You're done for!
113
00:06:39,255 --> 00:06:40,295
Don't move!
114
00:06:40,295 --> 00:06:41,375
Stop hiding!
115
00:06:41,375 --> 00:06:42,495
This is infuriating!
116
00:06:43,656 --> 00:06:44,776
Your Majesty.
117
00:06:44,776 --> 00:06:47,415
If you don't show up right now,
Zhi Shu will be beaten to death.
118
00:06:47,415 --> 00:06:48,776
No rush.
119
00:06:48,776 --> 00:06:52,935
I haven't seen such a warm scene
since I ascended the throne.
120
00:06:52,935 --> 00:06:54,295
- You unfilial son!
- Father!
121
00:06:54,295 --> 00:06:56,175
- I really--
- Don't hide!
122
00:06:56,175 --> 00:06:58,615
Stop watching!
If you don't show up, I'll be dead!
123
00:06:58,615 --> 00:07:00,495
Calling for help? I'll beat him too!
124
00:07:03,295 --> 00:07:06,495
Greetings, Your Majesty.
125
00:07:06,495 --> 00:07:08,415
You're as impressive as ever.
126
00:07:08,415 --> 00:07:10,055
Every strike is still accurate.
127
00:07:10,055 --> 00:07:12,935
Father, you kneel quite nimbly,
much more adept than beating me.
128
00:07:12,935 --> 00:07:13,935
Please rise quickly.
129
00:07:16,216 --> 00:07:18,656
It was my own decision to leave the palace.
130
00:07:18,656 --> 00:07:20,375
Zhi Shu just did as I commanded.
131
00:07:20,375 --> 00:07:23,216
If you blame him, I'll feel guilty.
132
00:07:24,375 --> 00:07:27,696
Since Your Majesty speaks for him,
I will forgive him this time.
133
00:07:28,416 --> 00:07:29,416
What you did in Shazhou
134
00:07:29,416 --> 00:07:31,815
is an open yet wise move.
135
00:07:31,815 --> 00:07:33,536
It not only stopped the misuse
of military equipment,
136
00:07:33,536 --> 00:07:36,656
but also brilliantly checked Lord Xu.
137
00:07:36,656 --> 00:07:40,016
You're as wise as the late Emperor.
138
00:07:40,016 --> 00:07:41,096
You flatter me.
139
00:07:42,495 --> 00:07:44,295
I have observed secretly for a long time.
140
00:07:44,295 --> 00:07:46,136
I deeply feel the tense situation
in the court.
141
00:07:47,576 --> 00:07:50,216
Your Majesty has few capable people
by your side.
142
00:07:50,216 --> 00:07:52,615
It is urgent to cultivate trusted confidants.
143
00:07:53,896 --> 00:07:55,375
Pei Jing He, Left Assistant Minister
of the Ministry of War,
144
00:07:55,375 --> 00:07:56,976
is virtuous, talented, and intelligent.
145
00:07:56,976 --> 00:08:00,055
But he is ostracized
because he hates Liu Ren's autocratic ways,
146
00:08:00,055 --> 00:08:02,055
with no real power.
147
00:08:02,055 --> 00:08:05,415
Now he can be used by Your Majesty.
148
00:08:05,415 --> 00:08:07,735
Although you're outside the court,
149
00:08:07,735 --> 00:08:09,735
you know the overall situation very well.
150
00:08:09,735 --> 00:08:11,175
The world is like a chessboard.
151
00:08:11,175 --> 00:08:12,615
Your Majesty is the player.
152
00:08:12,615 --> 00:08:14,055
Though I've retired,
153
00:08:14,055 --> 00:08:18,175
I'm willing to be Your Majesty's chess piece
for the stability of the nation.
154
00:08:18,175 --> 00:08:19,735
Now, among the six ministries,
155
00:08:19,735 --> 00:08:21,415
Xu Ting already controls four.
156
00:08:22,495 --> 00:08:25,216
The talented men selected
through the past imperial examinations
157
00:08:25,216 --> 00:08:27,055
have all worked for him.
158
00:08:27,976 --> 00:08:30,415
I now have no choice but to seek talent
159
00:08:30,415 --> 00:08:34,216
from the Imperial Exam for Women,
which he disdains to interfere with.
160
00:08:38,056 --> 00:08:41,296
Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say.
161
00:08:42,176 --> 00:08:44,976
As the saying goes,
a new emperor brings in new ministers.
162
00:08:44,976 --> 00:08:47,735
The power of the two chancellors
is growing day by day.
163
00:08:47,735 --> 00:08:51,015
If these two work together,
Your Majesty may find it hard to counter.
164
00:08:51,775 --> 00:08:54,056
Now Xu Ting is at the peak of his power,
165
00:08:54,056 --> 00:08:56,216
arousing Gu Qin's discontent.
166
00:08:56,216 --> 00:08:58,615
Your Majesty can turn this to your advantage.
167
00:09:00,576 --> 00:09:04,416
I need not elaborate on checks and balances.
168
00:09:11,296 --> 00:09:11,976
[Gu Mansion]
169
00:09:11,976 --> 00:09:14,056
Is this painting's brushwork insufficient,
170
00:09:14,056 --> 00:09:15,735
so it failed to be ranked top-grade?
171
00:09:16,416 --> 00:09:17,535
No.
172
00:09:17,535 --> 00:09:20,096
It only depicts still life
and lacks liveliness.
173
00:09:22,135 --> 00:09:23,135
Not so.
174
00:09:24,176 --> 00:09:25,176
Zhi Li is here.
175
00:09:41,696 --> 00:09:42,696
Sir.
176
00:09:48,296 --> 00:09:51,735
This painting is
of a dusk scene of the late spring.
177
00:09:51,735 --> 00:09:55,015
However, the flowers, trees,
and misty clouds in the painting
178
00:09:55,015 --> 00:09:58,696
are too bright and gaudy,
thus losing the sense of reality.
179
00:09:58,696 --> 00:10:01,096
In that case,
it will lose a vivid artistic flavor.
180
00:10:02,015 --> 00:10:04,336
The same goes for a person.
If a person is false, they are rotten inside.
181
00:10:05,495 --> 00:10:07,056
Zhi Li, have a seat.
182
00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:12,176
Zhi Li understands the teacher best.
183
00:10:13,096 --> 00:10:16,416
Zhi Li is quick-witted and careful.
184
00:10:16,416 --> 00:10:18,096
In the Imperial Exam for Women,
185
00:10:18,096 --> 00:10:20,696
with your talent, not to mention passing,
186
00:10:20,696 --> 00:10:23,176
even winning the top spot
will not be difficult.
187
00:10:25,416 --> 00:10:26,936
Sir, you passed the imperial examination
with high honors back then.
188
00:10:26,936 --> 00:10:28,336
When you first entered the Ministry of Works,
189
00:10:28,336 --> 00:10:30,855
you impressed the court
with your Water Control Strategy.
190
00:10:30,855 --> 00:10:33,375
Once implemented,
it solved the water disasters in Jiangnan.
191
00:10:33,375 --> 00:10:34,655
You relieved the people's worries.
192
00:10:34,655 --> 00:10:37,096
I'm willing to follow you,
become a court official,
193
00:10:37,096 --> 00:10:38,576
and work with you.
194
00:10:38,576 --> 00:10:41,176
But yesterday, my father said
195
00:10:41,176 --> 00:10:43,416
that Lord Xu strongly
opposes the Imperial Exam for Women.
196
00:10:43,416 --> 00:10:46,216
Even if women enter the court,
they cannot rise above the sixth rank.
197
00:10:46,216 --> 00:10:49,976
I'm afraid even if we pass the exam, we will
hardly have a chance to show our abilities.
198
00:10:53,655 --> 00:10:55,255
Talent is not judged by appearance.
199
00:10:55,255 --> 00:10:56,655
Men and women are equal.
200
00:10:56,655 --> 00:10:59,216
His Majesty overrode all objections
and reopened the Imperial Exam for Women.
201
00:10:59,216 --> 00:11:01,655
His desire to recruit talent is evident.
202
00:11:01,655 --> 00:11:03,576
When you enter the court in the future,
203
00:11:03,576 --> 00:11:07,416
as long as I am here,
I will certainly back you up.
204
00:11:10,176 --> 00:11:11,816
Sir, you are indeed a virtuous chancellor,
205
00:11:11,816 --> 00:11:13,255
seeking benefits for the people,
206
00:11:13,255 --> 00:11:14,416
paving paths for the humble,
207
00:11:14,416 --> 00:11:16,056
and also speaking for women.
208
00:11:16,056 --> 00:11:18,416
You're much more upright than Lord Xu.
209
00:11:19,336 --> 00:11:21,135
But he has a deep foundation in the court
210
00:11:21,135 --> 00:11:22,816
and holds the power of four ministries.
211
00:11:22,816 --> 00:11:25,375
I truly feel indignant for you.
212
00:11:25,375 --> 00:11:27,816
But I have never ever cared about power.
213
00:11:27,816 --> 00:11:29,056
I have been loyal to His Majesty.
214
00:11:29,056 --> 00:11:32,535
Even if His Majesty
entrusted all six ministries to Lord Xu,
215
00:11:32,535 --> 00:11:33,976
I would not mind.
216
00:11:35,135 --> 00:11:36,937
Sadly, His Majesty has ascended the throne,
217
00:11:36,937 --> 00:11:39,655
yet the whole nation
knows only the virtue of Lord Xu,
218
00:11:40,375 --> 00:11:42,375
but not the wisdom of His Majesty.
219
00:11:43,015 --> 00:11:45,576
People all say a virtuous chancellor is rare.
220
00:11:45,576 --> 00:11:47,655
And you're the only virtuous chancellor.
221
00:11:52,216 --> 00:11:54,655
I will assist His Majesty
222
00:11:54,655 --> 00:11:55,696
and create a new situation.
223
00:11:56,496 --> 00:12:00,096
And then, women can also
hold their heads high in the court.
224
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:04,976
We will keep your teaching
225
00:12:04,976 --> 00:12:06,576
in mind.

227
00:12:13,416 --> 00:12:14,416
Yes.

Yes.
230

Meng, did you see that?
231
00:12:22,615 --> 00:12:25,176
She just took a whole box of ink.
232
00:12:27,176 --> 00:12:30,375
Are you here to accompany me
or to watch the fun?
233
00:12:31,135 --> 00:12:33,495
Of course, I'm here to root for you.
234
00:12:33,495 --> 00:12:36,096
Last night, I dreamed
that you topped the candidate list.
235
00:12:37,936 --> 00:12:39,655
I was so happy and woke up laughing.
236
00:12:39,655 --> 00:12:40,655
Please, Fu Zhi.
237
00:12:41,936 --> 00:12:42,936
After that, I couldn't fall asleep.
238
00:12:42,936 --> 00:12:44,816
So I just got up
and made you apricot skin cakes.
239
00:12:44,816 --> 00:12:46,495
They're right here, and you...
240
00:12:50,015 --> 00:12:51,015
I forgot to bring them.
241
00:12:51,936 --> 00:12:53,176
I'll eat them after the exam.

243
00:12:56,135 --> 00:12:57,135
Yes.
244
00:12:59,096 --> 00:13:00,375
Go back and wait for me.
245
00:13:00,375 --> 00:13:02,135
I'll be waiting right here.
I won't go anywhere.
246
00:13:02,135 --> 00:13:03,655
Meng, I have confidence in you.
You are the best in my eyes.
247
00:13:03,655 --> 00:13:05,456
Don't be nervous.
Provincial Exam is easy for you.
248
00:13:05,456 --> 00:13:06,816
You'll ace it.

250
00:13:08,015 --> 00:13:09,296
If you keep talking, I'll get dizzy.
251
00:13:09,296 --> 00:13:10,296
I'll keep my mouth shut.

Today, His Majesty will end his seclusion.

It's already noon.
267
00:16:02,135 --> 00:16:04,255
Why hasn't His Majesty shown up yet?
268
00:16:04,255 --> 00:16:06,895
It's quite strange. Even Lord Gu hasn't come.
269
00:16:06,895 --> 00:16:07,895
Insolent!
270
00:16:13,976 --> 00:16:17,735
How dare you make noise
before the Sacred Ancestral Hall!
271
00:16:34,655 --> 00:16:37,895
It's such an important event,
272
00:16:37,895 --> 00:16:40,296
and you're actually late!
273
00:16:40,936 --> 00:16:42,015
What a disgrace!
274
00:16:43,296 --> 00:16:45,176
I'm sorry, Lord Xu.
275
00:16:50,375 --> 00:16:53,655
Last night,
the scouts saw His Majesty return.
276
00:16:54,296 --> 00:16:55,296
Could it be...
277
00:17:16,656 --> 00:17:20,376
His Majesty has ended his seclusion!
278

Greetings, Your Majesty.

00:17:23,856 --> 00:17:26,376
May Your Majesty be blessed.
280
00:17:27,376 --> 00:17:28,735
All of you, rise.
281
00:17:36,376 --> 00:17:39,416
Lord Xu,
you have more white hair above your ears.
282
00:17:40,656 --> 00:17:42,656
It seems during my ten days of seclusion,
283
00:17:42,656 --> 00:17:47,616
you've worked very hard
in managing state affairs.
284
00:17:48,456 --> 00:17:50,696
I do what I should do.
285
00:17:52,376 --> 00:17:53,815
I do trivial things,
286
00:17:53,815 --> 00:17:58,416
while Your Majesty thought of
how to govern the country.
287
00:17:59,656 --> 00:18:03,176
Do you know what I've gotten?
288
00:18:03,176 --> 00:18:06,136
I have had the honor
of serving three Emperors,
289
00:18:06,136 --> 00:18:10,015
and I have some insights into court affairs.
290
00:18:10,015 --> 00:18:12,055
I guess
291
00:18:12,055 --> 00:18:13,295
that Your Majesty
292
00:18:14,096 --> 00:18:18,055
has read the governing strategies
left by the late Emperor.
293
00:18:18,856 --> 00:18:21,735
Very smart of you, Lord Xu.

used the plaque personally inscribed by you

cheated and oppressed the people in Shazhou,

and acted tyrannically?
325
00:22:05,696 --> 00:22:08,055

Lord Xu's men are spread
throughout the Ning Empire.

Inevitably,
corrupt officials exploit his inscriptions,

338
00:22:48,815 --> 00:22:50,616

that made Your Majesty so dissatisfied
and suspicious of me.
360
00:23:45,936 --> 00:23:48,376
What are you talking about?
361
00:23:49,177 --> 00:23:52,495
I have been in seclusion for ten days
in the Sacred Ancestral Hall.
362
00:23:52,495 --> 00:23:55,735
I tried to figure out how to govern.
When did I go to Shazhou?
363
00:23:57,897 --> 00:24:01,055
It seems that Your Majesty
364
00:24:01,055 --> 00:24:04,976
learned quite a bit about lying
in a remote place.
365
00:24:04,976 --> 00:24:09,495
I remember I did go to Shazhou ten years ago.
366
00:24:09,495 --> 00:24:12,335
Are you perhaps confusing old memories?
367
00:24:12,335 --> 00:24:13,495
I have a witness.
368
00:24:13,495 --> 00:24:15,456
- Where is the witness?
- Shen Zhi Shu.
369
00:24:15,456 --> 00:24:17,815
Zhi Shu, have you been to Shazhou?
370
00:24:17,815 --> 00:24:20,416
Yes, Your Majesty.
371
00:24:21,815 --> 00:24:23,936
I was ordered by Your Majesty
to inspect Shazhou
372
00:24:23,936 --> 00:24:25,575
and witnessed the chaos there
with my own eyes.
373
00:24:25,575 --> 00:24:27,936
I've brought back evidence
against Ding Chong and others.
374
00:24:27,936 --> 00:24:29,416
How dare you, Shen Zhi Shu!
375
00:24:29,416 --> 00:24:32,015
That night in the Sacred Ancestral Hall,
you impersonated His Majesty,
376
00:24:32,015 --> 00:24:34,616
and it was I who drove you to Shazhou
to bring His Majesty back.
377
00:24:34,616 --> 00:24:36,136
Lord Xu, watch your words.
378
00:24:36,136 --> 00:24:38,495
Breaking into the Sacred Ancestral Hall
is a grave crime.
379
00:24:38,495 --> 00:24:40,575
You don't have to
add another crime on yourself
380
00:24:40,575 --> 00:24:43,775
just to frame me and Shen Zhi Shu.
381
00:24:43,775 --> 00:24:44,976
Your Majesty, please calm down.
382
00:24:44,976 --> 00:24:49,095
Lord Xu is old,
and it's inevitable to misremember something.
383
00:24:53,616 --> 00:24:58,815
So, Your Majesty set up a trap for me?
384
00:24:58,815 --> 00:25:00,656
That's not true, Lord Xu.
385
00:25:00,656 --> 00:25:02,735
Your Majesty,
I've investigated for a long time
386
00:25:02,735 --> 00:25:04,015
and finally obtained solid evidence.
387
00:25:04,015 --> 00:25:06,896
Wang Qi, the Military Governor of Shazhou,
disregarded military regulations.
388
00:25:06,896 --> 00:25:08,416
Without General Gao Meng's knowledge,
389
00:25:08,416 --> 00:25:10,176
he colluded with Liu Ren,
the Minister of War,
390
00:25:10,176 --> 00:25:12,095
to embezzle 300,000 taels of military funds.
391
00:25:12,095 --> 00:25:14,696
Wang Qi and Gao Meng are now waiting outside.
392
00:25:14,696 --> 00:25:16,376
They can confront Mr. Liu right now
393
00:25:16,376 --> 00:25:17,775
to clarify the facts.
394
00:25:17,775 --> 00:25:19,335
- Summon them.
- Summon them.
395
00:25:22,535 --> 00:25:24,976
- Your Majesty, I'm guilty.
- Your Majesty, I'm guilty.
396
00:25:27,656 --> 00:25:28,656
Your Majesty.
397
00:25:29,335 --> 00:25:30,696
I made a mistake.
398
00:25:30,696 --> 00:25:31,775
I'm guilty.
399
00:25:31,775 --> 00:25:32,976
I beg Your Majesty for mercy.
400
00:25:32,976 --> 00:25:35,456
Your Majesty, show mercy!
401
00:25:36,896 --> 00:25:38,136
Lord Xu.
402
00:25:38,136 --> 00:25:41,255
Liu Ren held a key position,
but colluded with a border general,
403
00:25:41,255 --> 00:25:44,255
committed corruption,
and affected military affairs.
404
00:25:44,255 --> 00:25:46,015
Now with both witnesses
and material evidence,
405
00:25:46,656 --> 00:25:48,656
how should he be dealt with
according to the law?
406
00:25:48,656 --> 00:25:50,136
Your Majesty,
407
00:25:50,136 --> 00:25:53,095
according to the Laws of Ning Empire,
he should be flogged 100 times
408
00:25:53,095 --> 00:25:55,295
and dismissed from office.
And all his property shall be confiscated.
409
00:25:55,295 --> 00:25:56,976
But considering Liu Ren has worked
for many years--
410
00:25:56,976 --> 00:25:58,495
Approved.
411
00:25:58,495 --> 00:26:00,696
Do as Lord Xu suggested.
412
00:26:00,696 --> 00:26:03,295
Immediately dismiss Liu Ren and punish him.
413
00:26:03,295 --> 00:26:04,575
Wang Qi, as Military Governor,
414
00:26:04,575 --> 00:26:05,735
sold military equipment
415
00:26:05,735 --> 00:26:07,055
and bribed court officials.
416
00:26:07,055 --> 00:26:08,575
He shall be sentenced to immediate execution.
417
00:26:08,575 --> 00:26:10,775
Although Gao Meng is not mainly involved,
418
00:26:10,775 --> 00:26:13,376
he cannot escape responsibility
for poor supervision
419
00:26:13,376 --> 00:26:14,656
and is demoted by one rank.
420
00:26:14,656 --> 00:26:16,416
He will temporarily remain in the army
to redeem himself by good service.
421
00:26:16,416 --> 00:26:21,416
All military officials involved in this case
should be strictly investigated
422
00:26:21,416 --> 00:26:23,335
with no leniency.
423
00:26:37,055 --> 00:26:38,055
Your Majesty.
424
00:26:38,055 --> 00:26:40,616
The position of Minister of War is crucial.
425
00:26:40,616 --> 00:26:41,656
It cannot be vacant.
426
00:26:41,656 --> 00:26:43,735
Pei Jing He, the Left Assistant Minister
of the Ministry of War,
427
00:26:43,735 --> 00:26:45,936
is a capable man,
who was selected through the Imperial Exam.
428
00:26:45,936 --> 00:26:47,896
But he was ostracized
429
00:26:47,896 --> 00:26:49,095
because he
opposed Liu Ren's autocratic actions.
430
00:26:49,095 --> 00:26:51,656
He was sent
to a nominal post like military supervisor,
431
00:26:51,656 --> 00:26:52,815
without real power.
432
00:26:52,815 --> 00:26:57,535
Immediately summon him back
to temporarily serve as the Minister of War.
433
00:26:57,535 --> 00:27:00,976
Your Majesty,
this position carries great responsibility.
434
00:27:00,976 --> 00:27:04,255
Such a hasty appointment may be improper.
435
00:27:04,255 --> 00:27:06,696
Then let Gu Qin personally supervise it.
436
00:27:06,696 --> 00:27:08,735
Just give rewards for merits
and punishments for faults.
437
00:27:08,735 --> 00:27:12,936
I will do my best
and live up to Your Majesty's trust.
438
00:27:12,936 --> 00:27:13,936
Good.
439
00:27:18,376 --> 00:27:20,255
It is settled then.
440
00:27:20,255 --> 00:27:21,815
Listen, all of you,
441
00:27:21,815 --> 00:27:23,936
exercise more to keep energetic.
442
00:27:24,815 --> 00:27:29,496
After all, you'll work late often.
443
00:27:29,496 --> 00:27:30,496
Your Majesty.
444
00:27:30,496 --> 00:27:32,055
Farewell, Your Majesty.
445
00:27:32,055 --> 00:27:33,815
Farewell, Your Majesty.
446
00:27:40,832 --> 00:27:42,856
[Porridge distribution]
447
00:27:42,856 --> 00:27:45,856
Ms. Yan's good friend, Meng Ting Hui,
got first place in the Provincial Exam.
448
00:27:45,856 --> 00:27:47,535
To celebrate it,
we'll give free porridge for three days.
449
00:27:53,376 --> 00:27:54,896
There's enough for everyone. Don't worry.
450
00:27:57,055 --> 00:27:58,376
Here.
451
00:27:58,376 --> 00:27:59,656
Take it easy.
452
00:27:59,656 --> 00:28:00,656
No rush. Everyone will get some.
453
00:28:01,344 --> 00:28:03,376
[Cold medicine]
454
00:28:03,376 --> 00:28:06,495
The weather is cold,
so Ms. Yan offers everyone cold medicine.
455
00:28:06,495 --> 00:28:09,055
Get some to avoid catching a cold.
456
00:28:09,055 --> 00:28:10,856
- Here, take it.
- What a great person!
457
00:28:10,856 --> 00:28:11,856
Thank you.
458
00:28:16,495 --> 00:28:17,495
Father.
459
00:28:19,696 --> 00:28:20,696
Be careful.
460
00:28:20,696 --> 00:28:23,295
It's Meng Ting Hui who got first place,
not you.
461
00:28:23,295 --> 00:28:25,176
Why are you celebrating for her?
462
00:28:25,176 --> 00:28:27,495
It's disgraceful. I'm ashamed of you.
463
00:28:27,495 --> 00:28:28,495
Come back with me.
464
00:28:30,376 --> 00:28:32,095
Now that Bofeng is profitable,
465
00:28:32,095 --> 00:28:33,495
I can do whatever I want.
466
00:28:33,495 --> 00:28:35,255
When spring comes,
I will accompany Meng to Metropolitan Exam.
467
00:28:35,255 --> 00:28:36,735
I'll go with her to the capital
to extend my business.
468
00:28:36,735 --> 00:28:38,535
You will actually go to the capital with her!
469
00:28:39,816 --> 00:28:42,255
You're out of your mind!
470
00:28:42,255 --> 00:28:43,976
I'm very disappointed in you.
471
00:28:44,696 --> 00:28:45,696
My dear!
472
00:28:46,775 --> 00:28:50,535
Although Fu Zhi is a girl,
she has her own ideas.
473
00:28:50,535 --> 00:28:52,416
Don't listen to those old women's rumors
474
00:28:52,416 --> 00:28:54,936
that no man wants a woman working outside.
475
00:28:54,936 --> 00:28:58,656
Even if Fu Zhi never marries,
we can afford to support her.
476
00:28:58,656 --> 00:29:00,216
Not marry?
477
00:29:00,216 --> 00:29:03,535
Is she going to hang around
with Meng Ting Hui for life?
478
00:29:03,535 --> 00:29:05,735
Children's marriage is arranged by parents.
479
00:29:05,735 --> 00:29:07,535
So I'll decide who she marries.
480
00:29:08,335 --> 00:29:09,335
Fu Zhi.
481
00:29:10,136 --> 00:29:12,815
I'll talk to your father about your marriage.
482
00:29:14,575 --> 00:29:15,976
Don't be angry with him anymore.
483
00:29:19,656 --> 00:29:20,656
My dear.
484
00:29:21,696 --> 00:29:22,696
My dear.
485
00:29:26,255 --> 00:29:27,535
- My dear.
- My dear.
486
00:29:27,535 --> 00:29:28,535
Are you alright?
487
00:29:28,535 --> 00:29:31,775
I fell accidentally. It's not Fu Zhi's fault.
488
00:29:31,775 --> 00:29:35,095
After all these years,
your ways of framing others haven't changed.
489
00:29:35,095 --> 00:29:36,095
You!
490
00:29:37,856 --> 00:29:38,856
Meng.
491
00:29:38,856 --> 00:29:40,416
Meng Ting Hui.
492
00:29:40,416 --> 00:29:42,136
How dare you stop me!
493
00:29:42,136 --> 00:29:43,136
- I'm warning you!
- I...
494
00:29:43,896 --> 00:29:45,055
I'm already the Jieyuan.
495
00:29:45,055 --> 00:29:46,735
I don't need to bow even to the Governor.
496
00:29:46,735 --> 00:29:48,216
If you slap me,
497
00:29:48,216 --> 00:29:51,656
aren't you afraid all people in Shazhou
will talk about your rude action?
498
00:29:51,656 --> 00:29:56,936
I can do nothing with you,
but can't I discipline my own daughter?
499
00:29:56,936 --> 00:29:58,976
Someone, take Fu Zhi back!
500
00:29:58,976 --> 00:30:00,416
- Meng.
- Hold on.
501
00:30:01,056 --> 00:30:04,176
I've told the interim inspector of Shazhou
502
00:30:04,176 --> 00:30:06,015
about your selfless decisions.
503
00:30:06,015 --> 00:30:08,535
To celebrate the exam results,
you'll give porridge for three days.
504
00:30:09,136 --> 00:30:11,815
And you've allowed your daughter
to go to the capital with me.
505
00:30:12,416 --> 00:30:14,055
This is utter nonsense!
506
00:30:24,735 --> 00:30:26,255
By order of the inspector,
507
00:30:26,255 --> 00:30:28,896
we congratulate Miss Meng on your success.
508
00:30:28,896 --> 00:30:31,416
Thank you very much.
509
00:30:31,416 --> 00:30:34,616
The inspector presents the Yan family
with a banner of Honored Family
510
00:30:34,616 --> 00:30:36,656
to commend their kindness.
511
00:30:41,735 --> 00:30:43,535
Thank you very much.
512
00:30:43,535 --> 00:30:45,616
Thank you.
513
00:30:45,616 --> 00:30:46,696
Meng Ting Hui.
514
00:30:47,575 --> 00:30:49,055
You won.
515
00:30:49,055 --> 00:30:50,176
Thank you, Mrs. Yan.
516
00:30:51,216 --> 00:30:52,735
Please tell the inspector
517
00:30:52,735 --> 00:30:54,055
that Mrs. Yan decided
518
00:30:54,055 --> 00:30:56,897
- to copy scriptures 1,000 times--
- 10,000 times.
519
00:30:56,897 --> 00:30:59,176
No, 10,000 times, for me and Fu Zhi
520
00:30:59,176 --> 00:31:02,136
to pray for a smooth journey to the capital.
521
00:31:02,136 --> 00:31:03,136
Nonsense!
522
00:31:11,552 --> 00:31:14,112
[Honored Family]
523
00:31:17,335 --> 00:31:18,416
Thank you, Mr. Yan.
524
00:31:25,495 --> 00:31:27,176
Thank you for your kindness.
525
00:31:27,176 --> 00:31:28,735
Meng, I'm so lucky!
526
00:31:28,735 --> 00:31:30,535
I can go to the capital with you!
527
00:31:31,775 --> 00:31:35,095
I asked the inspector
to send the banner in advance.
528
00:31:35,095 --> 00:31:37,936
I knew your father and stepmother
would try to stop you.
529
00:31:38,977 --> 00:31:41,095
Meng, you're so good to me!
530
00:31:41,095 --> 00:31:43,735
I'm so lucky to meet you.
531
00:31:45,376 --> 00:31:46,376
People are watching.
532
00:31:54,255 --> 00:31:55,255
Xiang.
533
00:31:56,456 --> 00:31:58,896
I brought you
your favorite apricot skin cakes.
534
00:32:02,015 --> 00:32:03,176
I miss you so much.
535
00:32:04,976 --> 00:32:07,015
I miss you holding me in the cage.
536
00:32:07,656 --> 00:32:09,055
[Tomb of Xiang]
We kept each other warm.
537
00:32:11,575 --> 00:32:13,295
I miss you playing the flute for me.
538
00:32:14,335 --> 00:32:17,616
You taught me your favorite tune.
539
00:32:20,255 --> 00:32:22,575
That place was like hell,
540
00:32:23,656 --> 00:32:24,656
but you were there.
541
00:32:26,176 --> 00:32:27,535
Wherever you were was my home.
542
00:32:31,015 --> 00:32:32,255
Xiang.
543
00:32:34,055 --> 00:32:35,815
I hate that I was too weak.
544
00:32:38,176 --> 00:32:40,775
I hate that I couldn't protect you back then.
545
00:32:48,775 --> 00:32:49,775
Ting Hui.
546
00:32:51,176 --> 00:32:52,976
You must escape from here.
547
00:32:54,376 --> 00:32:55,656
As far as possible.
548
00:32:56,416 --> 00:32:59,535
Xiang, hold on!
549
00:33:00,216 --> 00:33:02,335
We will definitely escape from here.
550
00:33:02,335 --> 00:33:04,136
We will definitely survive.

555
00:33:51,735 --> 00:33:53,936
Xiang, say something.

557
00:33:57,335 --> 00:34:00,295
What's wrong? Don't scare me.

559
00:34:09,015 --> 00:34:10,816
Hold on, Xiang.
560
00:34:43,296 --> 00:34:44,976
You brat!
561
00:35:00,336 --> 00:35:01,816
How dare you mess with me!
562
00:35:02,615 --> 00:35:04,015
Both of you just die!
563
00:35:06,535 --> 00:35:07,535
Finish her off!

565
00:36:10,856 --> 00:36:15,095
Shazhou has already changed now.
566
00:36:16,856 --> 00:36:20,256
Those evil people
finally got their retribution.
567
00:36:25,816 --> 00:36:26,816
Xiang.
568
00:36:28,376 --> 00:36:29,776
I have never forgotten the promise
569
00:36:31,095 --> 00:36:32,416
between us.

[Jieyuan of Shazhou]
571
00:36:38,535 --> 00:36:39,535
Look.
572
00:36:40,936 --> 00:36:42,215
I went to a Women's Academy.
573
00:36:43,215 --> 00:36:44,336
I got first place in the Provincial Exam.
574
00:36:45,095 --> 00:36:47,495
I'm about to go to the capital
to take the Metropolitan Exam.
575
00:36:49,175 --> 00:36:51,736
I hear the palace walls there are very high,
576
00:36:51,736 --> 00:36:53,135
and the palace is very big.
577
00:36:53,816 --> 00:36:55,055
But there must be a place
578
00:36:56,376 --> 00:36:58,495
to fulfill our shared aspirations.
579
00:37:01,632 --> 00:37:02,734
[Jieyuan of Shazhou]
580
00:37:07,896 --> 00:37:10,615
I will be a court official.
581
00:37:12,376 --> 00:37:14,376
[Tomb of Xiang]
I must make myself strong.
582
00:37:18,256 --> 00:37:19,695
I will protect Fu Zhi.
583
00:37:22,336 --> 00:37:24,535
I will protect the people around me.
584
00:37:27,816 --> 00:37:29,095
I will make our nation a place
585
00:37:30,215 --> 00:37:33,055
where no one can trample on others at will.
586
00:37:37,095 --> 00:37:40,495
I will let people like you and me
587
00:37:43,776 --> 00:37:45,976
be bathed in the bright light.
588
00:37:49,575 --> 00:37:50,575

589

Walk toward the light.
590
00:37:55,535 --> 00:37:57,296
You must survive.
591

Xiang.
592
00:38:10,776 --> 00:38:14,575
I'm afraid
I won't be able to visit you for a long time.
593
00:38:15,695 --> 00:38:20,336
If you miss me,
please come to my dreams often.
594
00:38:33,015 --> 00:38:35,015
I hear the capital is very damp,
595
00:38:35,015 --> 00:38:36,896
so I brought you
a moisture-proof rhino horn pillow.
596
00:38:37,856 --> 00:38:41,015
Fu Zhi, are you accompanying me
to the exam or moving house?
597
00:38:41,015 --> 00:38:42,095
Meng.
598
00:38:42,095 --> 00:38:44,095
We are new in the capital,
599
00:38:44,095 --> 00:38:46,816
so I must make sure you're comfortable there.
600
00:38:46,816 --> 00:38:49,575
Meng, I'm ready. Let's set off.
601
00:38:49,575 --> 00:38:51,095
So ostentatious.
602
00:38:51,095 --> 00:38:53,055
Aren't you afraid of bandits on the way?
603
00:38:53,055 --> 00:38:54,655
[Metropolitan Exam Permit]
We have a shield.
604
00:38:55,695 --> 00:38:58,056
Unless those bandits are tired of living,
605
00:38:58,056 --> 00:38:59,695
they won't dare rob a top candidate
in the Provincial Exam.
606
00:38:59,695 --> 00:39:01,736
I must make sure
my most beloved Meng leaves Shazhou
607
00:39:01,736 --> 00:39:04,257
- in an impressive way.
- It'll be a long trip.
608
00:39:04,257 --> 00:39:05,575
Don't worry.
609
00:39:05,575 --> 00:39:08,736
Nobody will block your way to the capital.
610

Not bad.

Shen Zhi Li got first place in the capital.
623
00:40:04,575 --> 00:40:06,655
Of course,
with the bloodline of our Shen family.
624

You didn't take the exam, yet she did.
625

Don't you feel ashamed?
626
00:40:09,976 --> 00:40:10,976
Exactly.

You mean Miss Meng
who solved the case with you in Shazhou?
631
00:40:28,055 --> 00:40:29,535
A tough person
632
00:40:29,535 --> 00:40:31,135
should play a key role.
633
00:40:31,135 --> 00:40:33,095
Xu Ting's men are spread
throughout the six ministries.
634
00:40:33,095 --> 00:40:37,695
The Imperial Exam is a good opportunity
for me to select useful people.
635

This time,
I'll definitely defeat that old fool.
636

Here's her chance.
637

Let's see how she takes it to soar high.
638

The shops here are busier
than those in Shazhou.
639

We must walk around later.
640

about the capital's prosperity.

I just learned a little about it from books.

how could I impersonate her well?
