Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,420 --> 00:00:09,340
Do you insist on getting involved in this?
2
00:00:13,540 --> 00:00:14,580
I'm not backing down
3
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:17,620
I can even handle part of the
Emperor's family affairs
4
00:00:18,220 --> 00:00:19,260
Can't I even deal with such a petty
5
00:00:19,540 --> 00:00:20,500
and unscrupulous official?
6
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:24,580
So have you figured out a way?
7
00:00:24,580 --> 00:00:26,100
I'm just trying to work it out!
8
00:00:32,260 --> 00:00:34,220
Brother, go open the door
9
00:00:41,180 --> 00:00:42,580
Welcome
10
00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:45,860
Dongfang, Qiu Gu
11
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:47,460
Mr. Jing, Madam Luo
12
00:00:47,460 --> 00:00:49,820
To what do I owe the pleasure?
13
00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:51,380
Yeah, how is it that you're here?
14
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:53,460
To tell you the truth, Dongfang
15
00:00:53,460 --> 00:00:55,260
one of my apprentices originated
from here
16
00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:56,980
He said a disaster had hit this area
17
00:00:57,020 --> 00:00:58,060
so we fared our way here in haste
18
00:00:58,060 --> 00:01:00,460
Please take a seat
19
00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:05,140
My noodles
20
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:08,260
After we've arrived
21
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:11,700
we heard that an official named Dongfang stopped runners from heisting
22
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:13,420
provisions. My wife thought
it sounded like you
23
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:14,820
Looks like she's made the
correct assumption
24
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:16,940
Mr. Jing, Luo Qi
25
00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:19,580
My husband is worried sick
about this matter
26
00:01:20,660 --> 00:01:21,860
Would you care to weigh in?
27
00:01:24,460 --> 00:01:25,860
The victims are already at their wits' end
28
00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:29,100
They've agreed upon a heist job on provisions in the city tomorrow
29
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:31,500
Absolutely not
30
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:32,300
Why?
31
00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:34,180
That way, it would be an insurgence
32
00:01:34,180 --> 00:01:37,740
The authorities will have all the right reasons to suppress them
33
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:41,180
Then we'll go to arms with them!
34
00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:43,020
No, Mr. Jing, absolutely not
35
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:44,500
Think about it
36
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:48,540
How many civilians would lose
their innocent lives?
37
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:51,260
Lord Dongfang, what do you suggest?
38
00:01:53,340 --> 00:01:55,700
I'll leave for Chang'an tonight
39
00:01:56,180 --> 00:01:58,380
and report the circumstances here
to His Majesty
40
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:00,020
No
41
00:02:00,460 --> 00:02:03,060
The round trip will take at least a few days
42
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:04,740
And who knows when the emperor
43
00:02:05,140 --> 00:02:06,340
will send investigators out here
44
00:02:06,740 --> 00:02:08,180
Mr. Jing is right
45
00:02:08,220 --> 00:02:10,180
Distant water can't quench
the present thirst
46
00:02:10,580 --> 00:02:13,620
- Saving lives is the top priority now.
- That's right
47
00:02:14,180 --> 00:02:17,020
Not to mention that the spring flood seasonwill shortly arrive
48
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:19,100
If the flood breaks loose
49
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:22,140
I can't imagine how many lives will perish
50
00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:27,540
Dongfang, I will assume full responsibility
51
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:29,300
and never put the civilians in harm's way
52
00:02:29,620 --> 00:02:30,860
Lord Dongfang, Qiu Gu
53
00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:33,380
We shall leave now, farewell
54
00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:37,100
You two. Dongfang Shuo, you can't let them approach this with brute force
55
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:38,780
That's right. Hold your horses
56
00:02:38,980 --> 00:02:41,940
Give me another day. That's right,
one more day
57
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:45,220
I promise that I'll come up with a consummate plan
58
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:48,940
- Hurry up - Alright
59
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:52,340
My Lord
60
00:03:06,780 --> 00:03:07,700
How's Dongfang Shuo faring?
61
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:10,020
A man and a woman paid him a visit
62
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:11,940
Who are they?
63
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:14,740
Men at the stage station remarked they didn't speak the local accent
64
00:03:14,860 --> 00:03:17,940
But the attire they're dressed in display
some style and decency
65
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:23,220
Whatever
66
00:03:24,380 --> 00:03:26,060
He's only passing by anyway
67
00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:27,500
Whatever you do, don't provoke him
68
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:29,980
Let him leave in peace
69
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:31,060
Wise words, My Lord
70
00:03:31,540 --> 00:03:34,660
We walk two parallel paths
71
00:03:34,980 --> 00:03:36,740
The less trouble, the better
72
00:03:36,980 --> 00:03:38,780
But you must stay on your guard
73
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:42,020
Lock your eyes on him
74
00:03:42,540 --> 00:03:45,860
- before he leaves the county jurisdiction. - Yes, My Lord
75
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:52,980
What is it?
76
00:03:56,980 --> 00:03:59,580
Still haven't devised a plan yet?
77
00:04:00,580 --> 00:04:02,980
Currently, the only feasible thing to do is…
78
00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:08,180
What? Say it
79
00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:14,820
My dear, the risk involved
is insurmountable
80
00:04:15,660 --> 00:04:18,380
If things go wrong, I'm afraid that you'll…
81
00:04:19,740 --> 00:04:21,020
That I'll what?
82
00:04:21,580 --> 00:04:23,460
No danger can take more than my head from me
83
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:26,980
If you'd die, then I'll just join you
84
00:04:30,940 --> 00:04:33,060
My dear, you have granted me the courage
85
00:04:33,420 --> 00:04:37,580
to climb the mountain of blades and plunge into the sea of flames
86
00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:40,300
Go to sleep
87
00:04:52,540 --> 00:04:55,060
Lower the litter for the
Imperial Commissioner
88
00:04:58,020 --> 00:04:58,940
Lower the litter
89
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,420
My regards to the Lord Commissioner
90
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:09,420
Lord Yi, no need for formalities
91
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:13,060
Lord Commissioner, please
92
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:27,820
Yi Zong, Magistrate of Shang County,
heed the royal decree
93
00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:31,540
I await to receive the royal decree
94
00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:38,820
It is found through investigation that Yi Zong, Magistrate of Shang County
95
00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:41,780
has reported misinformation regarding the disaster to the court
96
00:05:41,980 --> 00:05:45,780
reflecting an eagerness for commendation and a blindness to innocent lives
97
00:05:45,980 --> 00:05:50,300
This has failed my grace and caused distress to our state and its people
98
00:05:52,220 --> 00:05:56,740
However, these conducts were not intended for self interests
99
00:05:56,740 --> 00:06:00,220
and in fact added to the wealth of the Treasury. Therefore, I shall
100
00:06:00,940 --> 00:06:02,220
gracefully exonerate you from your liability
101
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:07,420
Dongfang Shuo shall act as Imperial Commissioner to superintend the case
102
00:06:07,740 --> 00:06:10,420
and Magistrate Yi Zong
103
00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:12,820
shall stop conscripting Resistance Provisions and Loyalty Provisions
104
00:06:13,140 --> 00:06:17,740
open the granary and restore the river
embankments without delay
105
00:06:17,740 --> 00:06:18,700
That will be all
106
00:06:22,140 --> 00:06:26,260
- Long live Your Majesty. - Rise
107
00:06:29,540 --> 00:06:31,260
- Lord Yi. - Yes, My Lord
108
00:06:31,460 --> 00:06:35,420
The royal decree has issued
explicit orders
109
00:06:35,940 --> 00:06:40,060
How do you plan to implement them?
110
00:06:40,060 --> 00:06:43,180
I will ask my men to get on with these tasks at once
111
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:44,220
Lord Yi
112
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:47,180
I believe that there are
113
00:06:47,220 --> 00:06:50,300
currently two most urgent tasks that deserve the utmost attention
114
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:53,180
Yes, My Lord. I understand
115
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:57,660
If that's the case, then spell them out
116
00:06:58,260 --> 00:07:01,300
First, we should publicly post
117
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:03,420
His Majesty's decree
118
00:07:03,780 --> 00:07:07,300
so that all county folks shall learn of
His Majesty's grace
119
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:09,140
What about the second?
120
00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:13,260
Second, we should set up porridge huts
121
00:07:13,260 --> 00:07:17,380
- to supply the distressed with provisions.
However… - Lord Yi
122
00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:25,060
You would leave room for slack when implementing His Majesty's decree?
123
00:07:25,060 --> 00:07:26,500
Lord Commissioner, allow me to explain
124
00:07:28,020 --> 00:07:30,820
The capacity of the granary was reported
to the imperial court
125
00:07:30,940 --> 00:07:32,220
as provisions for the military
126
00:07:32,860 --> 00:07:34,820
It will soon be escorted to the capital
127
00:07:34,820 --> 00:07:38,500
Cancel the transportation and use it
to save lives at once
128
00:07:38,940 --> 00:07:40,860
Then, Lord Commissioner,
bear for a while
129
00:07:41,620 --> 00:07:43,460
as I'll send for it to be
taken care of immediately
130
00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:48,540
Alright, I'll wait for you right here
131
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:51,940
I'll take my leave for now
132
00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:10,820
My Lord, the deputy butler from Duke Wang's mansion is here
133
00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:12,660
What? Wang Ji is here?
134
00:08:13,820 --> 00:08:15,500
Deputy butler, please accept my regards
135
00:08:15,740 --> 00:08:17,100
When have you arrived?
136
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:18,380
I was half-way here
137
00:08:18,380 --> 00:08:21,300
when I ran into the scouts you
sent for the capital
138
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:24,300
and I made use of the night to accelerate my arrival
139
00:08:24,940 --> 00:08:25,980
I'm grateful for your effort
140
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:30,860
So His Majesty really appointed Dongfang Shuo as the Imperial Commissioner
141
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:32,740
Nonsense
142
00:08:33,420 --> 00:08:35,300
He was demoted by His Majesty
143
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:38,180
and sent to act as the magistrate of Taoyuan County in Hunan Province
144
00:08:38,300 --> 00:08:40,540
But he carries the official seal and letter
145
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:43,980
Have you verified them?
146
00:08:47,820 --> 00:08:51,140
Lord Commissioner, sorry to
keep you waiting
147
00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:53,500
You've made due arrangements?
148
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,740
My Lord, all is settled
149
00:08:55,900 --> 00:08:57,700
There's only one more thing
150
00:08:58,140 --> 00:09:00,420
with which your assistance is required
151
00:09:00,980 --> 00:09:02,900
What is it? Spell it out
152
00:09:03,620 --> 00:09:05,940
I would like to borrow your official seal?
153
00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:11,900
- What for? - For the public notice
154
00:09:12,420 --> 00:09:14,860
Since the Imperial Commissioner is sent by His Majesty
155
00:09:14,980 --> 00:09:18,420
the notice should be published in the Lord Commissioner's name
156
00:09:18,740 --> 00:09:21,140
That's why your seal must be stamped
157
00:09:22,740 --> 00:09:24,100
Lord Yi
158
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:28,660
His Majesty ordered you to correct your mistakes and let bygones be bygones
159
00:09:29,020 --> 00:09:30,340
It's well enough
160
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:32,980
to publish the notice in
the magistrate's name
161
00:09:32,980 --> 00:09:37,220
Your presence has given me no choice but to move away from the spotlight
162
00:09:37,580 --> 00:09:40,060
let alone qualifying for publishing
the notice
163
00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:42,660
I'm afraid you shall be burdened
with the task
164
00:09:44,220 --> 00:09:45,620
No need for that
165
00:09:45,860 --> 00:09:48,100
Just publish it in the magistrate's name
166
00:09:48,620 --> 00:09:50,900
That won't work, Lord Commissioner
167
00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:52,380
It will work as I've said so
168
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:54,900
My Lord, you're so afraid to show
the official seal
169
00:09:55,740 --> 00:09:57,660
could this be a scam?
170
00:09:57,660 --> 00:10:00,980
Yi Zong, how dare you disgrace me
171
00:10:00,980 --> 00:10:02,300
Words are no proof
172
00:10:03,460 --> 00:10:05,540
Since you claim to be an Imperial Commissioner sent by His Majesty
173
00:10:05,540 --> 00:10:08,820
you should hand over the official seal
so that I can verify it
174
00:10:09,220 --> 00:10:10,700
Otherwise…
175
00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:11,940
Otherwise what?
176
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:13,140
Come!
177
00:10:17,380 --> 00:10:20,660
Seize this impostor and insurgent
178
00:10:20,860 --> 00:10:22,740
I dare you all!
179
00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:29,620
- Make them lay down their arms.
- Put them down
180
00:10:34,140 --> 00:10:37,340
On your knees
181
00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:40,740
Dongfang Shuo, you and I are both magistrates of insignificance
182
00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:42,620
How dare you pretend to be an Imperial Commissioner
183
00:10:43,220 --> 00:10:46,060
You're a dead man if His Majesty finds out
184
00:10:47,020 --> 00:10:52,060
Yi Zong! How dare you slander my name
when death is upon you
185
00:10:52,580 --> 00:10:54,980
Take this man, an insurgent
186
00:10:54,980 --> 00:10:57,340
who defies the royal decree and deceives His Majesty
187
00:10:57,340 --> 00:11:00,260
- out for public execution! - You!
188
00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:02,780
- Come! - Take him out! Let's go!
189
00:11:03,460 --> 00:11:08,020
Dongfang Shuo! You are an impostor! Your entire family will be exterminated
190
00:11:08,140 --> 00:11:11,820
Duke Wang will never forgive you for this!
191
00:11:12,740 --> 00:11:14,780
Who does he think he is!
192
00:11:14,860 --> 00:11:17,940
How dare he wield a weapon against my brother-in-law
193
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:19,620
What a punk!
194
00:11:50,060 --> 00:11:51,220
My Lord
195
00:11:51,220 --> 00:11:54,020
the famine victims crushed the porridge hut north of the city again
196
00:11:55,460 --> 00:11:56,420
Leave us for now
197
00:11:58,940 --> 00:12:01,020
There are only several thousands of piculs of provisions in the granary
198
00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:02,580
for so many famine victims
199
00:12:02,780 --> 00:12:05,620
Even if everyone is rationed two bowls
of thin porridge each day
200
00:12:05,980 --> 00:12:07,500
it won't last for long
201
00:12:08,580 --> 00:12:10,780
Restoring the embankments carries
the most significance
202
00:12:11,020 --> 00:12:14,260
Relief measures without a restoration project will mean nothing in the end
203
00:12:14,580 --> 00:12:16,820
Because if that's the case, what shall
we do afterward?
204
00:12:20,020 --> 00:12:23,100
I suppose the imperial court will receive word in a few days
205
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:25,460
and our captors will soon arrive
206
00:12:28,180 --> 00:12:30,380
I suppose we should unlock
the granary at once
207
00:12:30,380 --> 00:12:32,020
and distribute the provisions to the people
208
00:12:32,020 --> 00:12:33,860
Otherwise, when the court is present here
209
00:12:33,860 --> 00:12:35,940
the famine victims won't even have access to thin porridge
210
00:12:35,940 --> 00:12:37,940
The provisions must not be
casually distributed
211
00:12:38,180 --> 00:12:38,980
because in that case
212
00:12:38,980 --> 00:12:41,620
the strong and sturdy will seize the opportunity
213
00:12:41,620 --> 00:12:43,340
to secure all provisions for themselves
214
00:12:43,340 --> 00:12:45,180
What about the old and feeble?
215
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:47,540
It's better to dole out porridge
in rations this way
216
00:12:47,660 --> 00:12:48,500
At the end of the day
217
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:52,180
everyone could enjoy his share of porridge irrespective of age
218
00:12:52,380 --> 00:12:53,660
Master, Lord Dongfang
219
00:12:53,820 --> 00:12:56,500
A juvenile outside insists on meeting Lord Dongfang
220
00:12:56,620 --> 00:12:59,300
A juvenile? Did he claim his business with me?
221
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:02,740
He said he'd only speak once he had met with Lord Dongfang
222
00:13:05,060 --> 00:13:05,900
Let him in
223
00:13:11,140 --> 00:13:14,180
Lord Commissioner, please
accept my regards
224
00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:17,860
What business do you have with me?
225
00:13:17,860 --> 00:13:20,060
I'd like to offer you a piece of advice,
My Lord
226
00:13:21,980 --> 00:13:24,180
Advice? Spell it
227
00:13:24,380 --> 00:13:26,620
Your scheme to only dole out porridge
and neglect restoration
228
00:13:27,460 --> 00:13:29,740
for the embankments won't work
in the long term
229
00:13:30,380 --> 00:13:33,220
You've spoken my mind
230
00:13:33,580 --> 00:13:35,180
We were just discussing
231
00:13:35,180 --> 00:13:38,700
organizing volunteers from each village for the restoration project
232
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:41,500
The problem is these volunteers
need to be catered
233
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:42,900
when they're on the construction site
234
00:13:43,180 --> 00:13:46,940
Do you have enough funds and provisions at hand, My Lord?
235
00:13:48,540 --> 00:13:50,420
We're actually troubled by this matter
236
00:13:51,260 --> 00:13:55,900
And I've come to advise you on this
237
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:56,980
Good
238
00:13:57,220 --> 00:14:01,300
Feel free to enlighten me, young man
239
00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:02,260
Don't say that, My Lord
240
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:05,220
I thought you could exclude
241
00:14:05,220 --> 00:14:07,220
all young and physically capable men from the porridge huts
242
00:14:07,460 --> 00:14:09,220
and provide for only women, children, and the old
243
00:14:09,340 --> 00:14:11,380
Then what about the young and capable men? Should they all starve?
244
00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:14,340
They and part of the able-bodied women
245
00:14:14,340 --> 00:14:16,580
should bring their own tools to restore
the embankments
246
00:14:16,940 --> 00:14:18,380
and they can receive provisions
from the supervisor
247
00:14:18,380 --> 00:14:21,380
- with the bamboo chip issued to them on site. - Great plan
248
00:14:22,180 --> 00:14:23,140
In that case
249
00:14:23,340 --> 00:14:26,220
we can dole out provisions and restore the embankments
250
00:14:26,340 --> 00:14:28,740
as well as reducing meaningless fights
over resources
251
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:32,900
What a fine young man.
What is your name?
252
00:14:32,980 --> 00:14:34,940
My name is Sang Hongyang
253
00:14:35,180 --> 00:14:38,140
I've been in trading by managing my uncle's books since I was a kid
254
00:14:39,380 --> 00:14:40,660
Sang Hongyang
255
00:15:23,420 --> 00:15:25,100
Your Majesty
256
00:15:26,020 --> 00:15:26,820
Your Majesty
257
00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:29,060
What is it?
258
00:15:29,260 --> 00:15:32,220
Dongfang Shuo has started an uprising!
259
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:53,980
Lord Commissioner
260
00:15:55,660 --> 00:15:57,980
- Lord Commissioner. - Ma, what's it like?
261
00:15:58,100 --> 00:15:59,580
I'm afraid rain will fall soon upstream
262
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:02,180
We can even smell the water from here
263
00:16:02,460 --> 00:16:05,700
Call everyone up now. We can't
afford anymore sleep
264
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:07,900
- and work on the restoration overnight.
- Alright
265
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:10,100
- Hurry up. - Sure. - Get everyone up
266
00:16:10,660 --> 00:16:11,900
Everyone! Get up!
267
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:13,420
Qiu Hu, get up
268
00:16:15,900 --> 00:16:19,060
Wake up now, Qiu Hu.
The flood is coming!
269
00:16:19,820 --> 00:16:23,060
What's the fuss! It's midnight and I just fell asleep
270
00:16:23,060 --> 00:16:24,900
Listen to me
271
00:16:24,980 --> 00:16:26,180
Find Mr. Jing right now
272
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:27,380
Ask him to travel upstream
273
00:16:27,380 --> 00:16:28,500
and send updates to me about
274
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:30,420
any change of water levels with homing pigeons
275
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:32,340
Wake up now!
276
00:16:33,140 --> 00:16:34,580
Did you hear what I said?
277
00:16:34,580 --> 00:16:35,820
- I heard you. - What did I say?
278
00:16:35,820 --> 00:16:37,580
You said
279
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:40,140
call Mr. Jing over, get some water
280
00:16:40,260 --> 00:16:42,140
to cook the pigeons
281
00:16:42,860 --> 00:16:44,020
I'll tell you one more time!
282
00:16:44,540 --> 00:16:46,900
Ask Mr. Jing to travel upstream
283
00:16:47,140 --> 00:16:48,900
and send updates to me about
284
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:51,300
any change of water levels with homing pigeons
285
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:53,620
- Got it? - Yes. - Go now
286
00:16:54,460 --> 00:16:57,140
- I'll cover myself. - Get rid of it. - It's cold. - Hurry now!
287
00:17:24,340 --> 00:17:25,260
My Lord
288
00:17:27,140 --> 00:17:27,820
My Lord
289
00:17:28,820 --> 00:17:31,180
The river is starting to change colors
290
00:17:31,420 --> 00:17:32,980
- The river has changed colors. - Yes
291
00:17:33,060 --> 00:17:34,220
Then judging by your experience
292
00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:36,180
when will the flood come down?
293
00:17:36,420 --> 00:17:38,220
Sometime around noon
294
00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:39,860
The latest possible time
will be before nightfall
295
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:43,460
My Lord, a message by the homing pigeon from Jing Kui
296
00:17:44,620 --> 00:17:47,380
The rain is extremely heavy 50 kilometers upstream
297
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:49,020
Tell everyone immediately that
298
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:52,180
we must close the gap before noon
299
00:17:52,220 --> 00:17:53,660
- Hurry! - Alright
300
00:17:55,620 --> 00:17:59,260
Hurry up, everyone! Get to the breach!
301
00:17:59,780 --> 00:18:02,420
The upstream flood is coming down!
302
00:18:02,420 --> 00:18:03,020
Senior fellow
303
00:18:03,020 --> 00:18:05,020
Get over there and round everyone here
304
00:18:05,020 --> 00:18:05,900
Hurry up!
305
00:18:07,380 --> 00:18:09,980
Hurry up! Don't be so sluggish
306
00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:12,060
Get over there and round everyone here
307
00:18:12,180 --> 00:18:12,700
Hurry up!
308
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:16,780
Hurry up! Speed up!
309
00:18:26,260 --> 00:18:29,180
Your Majesty, let's take a break here
310
00:18:31,180 --> 00:18:33,900
Check where everyone has gone
311
00:18:34,260 --> 00:18:37,060
Sister, take a look. Is this good enough?
312
00:18:41,660 --> 00:18:42,660
The water is boiled away
313
00:18:56,900 --> 00:18:58,100
Water's here
314
00:19:03,820 --> 00:19:07,940
Sister, Dongfang Shuo said to
make more vegetable pies
315
00:19:08,540 --> 00:19:10,900
- Make sure to feed everyone to a full stomach. - Sure
316
00:19:11,180 --> 00:19:14,180
What exactly is with Dongfang Shuo?
317
00:19:14,460 --> 00:19:17,060
He abandoned a decent official post
318
00:19:17,220 --> 00:19:20,700
and came to restore the river embankments. He's insane
319
00:19:21,900 --> 00:19:24,620
You have such a big mouth. Get to work
320
00:19:29,540 --> 00:19:31,660
You mean the village folks have all been
321
00:19:31,660 --> 00:19:36,460
- conscripted by the Lord Commissioner to restore the embankments. - Yes
322
00:19:36,460 --> 00:19:40,420
- Where? - North of the village
323
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:45,700
Your Majesty, I've figured it out
with my inquiries
324
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:47,180
Dongfang Shuo is leading the village folks
325
00:19:47,180 --> 00:19:48,980
in an urgent attempt to restore
the embankments
326
00:19:48,980 --> 00:19:50,980
Send men to arrest him immediately
327
00:19:51,180 --> 00:19:52,580
- Zhang Tang. - Yes, Your Majesty
328
00:19:53,180 --> 00:19:55,660
- Your Majesty. - What?
329
00:19:57,380 --> 00:19:58,420
I think…
330
00:19:59,980 --> 00:20:00,820
What?
331
00:20:01,580 --> 00:20:03,980
I think that to arrest
the Lord Commissioner
332
00:20:03,980 --> 00:20:04,980
in public would be…
333
00:20:04,980 --> 00:20:08,540
What Lord Commissioner?
He's an imposter!
334
00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:10,180
Wise words, Your Majesty
335
00:20:10,660 --> 00:20:12,980
For a reckless insurgent like him, a public arrest
336
00:20:12,980 --> 00:20:15,820
is absolutely necessary to protect the integrity of the court
337
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:19,020
Lord Zhang, as the saying goes
338
00:20:19,260 --> 00:20:20,780
When you beat a dog, you answer
to its master
339
00:20:21,540 --> 00:20:22,820
It would smear the name of His Majesty
340
00:20:22,940 --> 00:20:24,100
to arrest an Imperial Commissioner
341
00:20:24,620 --> 00:20:26,980
in front of so many people
342
00:20:27,340 --> 00:20:28,620
His Majesty's dignity will be
better established
343
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:31,100
by punishing a treacherous man
344
00:20:31,260 --> 00:20:34,020
But Dongfang Shuo is leading the folks to restore the embankments
345
00:20:34,020 --> 00:20:35,060
Whatever he's doing
346
00:20:35,980 --> 00:20:37,700
the law must be carried out
347
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:39,420
Your Majesty
348
00:20:39,540 --> 00:20:42,700
Lord Zhang's methods would turn the people against us
349
00:20:42,780 --> 00:20:44,540
- Chamberlain Yang. - Shut up,
both of you
350
00:20:46,140 --> 00:20:47,660
- Yi. - Yes, Your Majesty
351
00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:51,180
Go to the embankments and look for Dongfang Shuo with discretion
352
00:20:51,620 --> 00:20:55,700
- Take him here without making a scene.
- Understood
353
00:20:56,260 --> 00:20:57,060
Your Majesty
354
00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:01,420
It's crucial to restore the embankments
355
00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:04,900
We can't afford any chaos
at this vital moment
356
00:21:30,940 --> 00:21:32,580
Lord Commissioner
357
00:21:35,020 --> 00:21:38,140
Senior fellow, be careful. What is it?
358
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:40,020
Someone is asking for you over there
359
00:21:50,460 --> 00:21:52,380
You've arrived surprisingly fast
360
00:21:53,820 --> 00:21:55,700
Can't you delay for 2 or 3 more days?
361
00:22:03,260 --> 00:22:04,140
Qiu Gu
362
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:08,140
Qiu Gu, look
363
00:22:12,260 --> 00:22:13,340
His Majesty is here
364
00:22:15,140 --> 00:22:16,340
He can't be so fast
365
00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:18,660
That man beside Dongfang Shuo
366
00:22:18,780 --> 00:22:21,060
is His Majesty's personal eunuch,
Chamberlain Yang
367
00:22:22,980 --> 00:22:23,740
My Lady
368
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:26,900
My Lady, have you seen the Lord Commissioner?
369
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:28,060
What is it, Ma?
370
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:32,540
Water levels have changed again. The flood might arrive early
371
00:22:34,780 --> 00:22:36,820
Don't panic. We'll deal with it
372
00:22:37,260 --> 00:22:37,900
Lord Commissioner…
373
00:22:39,060 --> 00:22:40,420
He has other business to attend to
374
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:42,980
Mrs. Dongfang and I will
take charge for now
375
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:45,020
Round all the supervisors over here
376
00:22:45,020 --> 00:22:46,100
Let's make a plan
377
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:49,140
- Alright, I'll check on them. - Alright
378
00:23:04,940 --> 00:23:06,180
I salute to Your Majesty
379
00:23:06,180 --> 00:23:10,940
Long live Your Majesty
380
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:15,220
- Come - Yes, Your Majesty - Arrest him!
381
00:23:19,020 --> 00:23:20,540
- Lord Zhang. - What?
382
00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:23,180
Is it against the law for His Majesty
383
00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:25,500
to make an arrest without a trial?
384
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:28,780
How dare you speak out against me!
385
00:23:30,820 --> 00:23:34,020
Your Majesty, quell your anger. I only spoke in your interest
386
00:23:34,380 --> 00:23:35,060
I was worried that
387
00:23:35,260 --> 00:23:36,260
Lord Zhang would
388
00:23:36,380 --> 00:23:38,860
later argue with you on the law articles
389
00:23:38,860 --> 00:23:41,100
and give you a hard time
390
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:44,260
- Zhang Tang. - Yes, Your Majesty
391
00:23:44,340 --> 00:23:47,380
Is any of this not in accordance
with the law?
392
00:23:48,020 --> 00:23:48,700
A little
393
00:23:50,740 --> 00:23:54,020
Your Majesty, allow me to try this case and find out every detail
394
00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:55,980
before punishing him by the law
395
00:23:56,980 --> 00:23:58,100
Then make it fast
396
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:00,540
I shall obey Your Majesty's decree
397
00:24:00,740 --> 00:24:02,300
Whether or not the new half-built embankment
398
00:24:02,300 --> 00:24:03,460
is capable of holding the flood
399
00:24:03,700 --> 00:24:05,980
we must not give up now
400
00:24:06,540 --> 00:24:07,460
The lady is right
401
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:09,340
Let's split up and tell everyone
402
00:24:09,540 --> 00:24:12,580
to keep working. We must not fail
the Lord Commissioner
403
00:24:12,740 --> 00:24:13,740
That's what we'll do
404
00:24:14,260 --> 00:24:16,020
The Lord Commissioner may not be present right now
405
00:24:16,140 --> 00:24:17,420
but Mrs. Jing and I are
406
00:24:18,260 --> 00:24:20,380
I have faith that we will hold the flood
407
00:24:21,020 --> 00:24:24,020
- Get to work, everyone. - Alright, let's go
408
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:41,580
Mrs. Dongfang, where is Lord Dongfang?
409
00:24:45,620 --> 00:24:50,260
- His Majesty came and took him away. - What?
410
00:24:51,020 --> 00:24:51,980
Your Majesty
411
00:24:52,540 --> 00:24:55,980
I've completed the trial of Dongfang Shuo
412
00:24:56,500 --> 00:24:58,900
It's true that he faked his identity as an Imperial Commissioner, killed
413
00:24:59,340 --> 00:25:01,500
an official and doled out state-owned provisions without authorization
414
00:25:02,020 --> 00:25:04,340
He has admitted to all of his crimes
415
00:25:06,700 --> 00:25:07,780
What should be the punishment?
416
00:25:08,140 --> 00:25:11,140
These are all capital crimes deserving the death penalty
417
00:25:12,820 --> 00:25:16,820
Dongfang Shuo, what else
do you have to say?
418
00:25:17,340 --> 00:25:19,260
I have nothing to say
419
00:25:21,300 --> 00:25:21,900
Tie him up
420
00:25:23,740 --> 00:25:25,900
Your Majesty, there's no need for that
421
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:27,260
I'm so exhilarated to see you
422
00:25:27,260 --> 00:25:30,620
that I'll never run away
423
00:25:31,540 --> 00:25:34,020
Still so glib-tongued when
in the face of death
424
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:37,620
Your Majesty, if I don't seize
the chance to talk
425
00:25:37,900 --> 00:25:40,300
I'm afraid you'll find it impossible
426
00:25:40,300 --> 00:25:42,660
when you ever want to hear
my voice again
427
00:25:47,580 --> 00:25:49,740
Master, Lord Dongfang has been arrested
by His Majesty
428
00:25:51,740 --> 00:25:54,140
- Qiu Gu. - I'm fine
429
00:25:55,020 --> 00:25:56,100
I'm fine
430
00:25:56,540 --> 00:25:58,900
- I'll go to see His Majesty immediately.
- Stop
431
00:25:59,660 --> 00:26:00,500
Mrs. Dongfang
432
00:26:00,580 --> 00:26:01,980
Why would you go to His Majesty?
433
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:04,060
I'll tell him that I did this alone
434
00:26:04,460 --> 00:26:05,900
and it has nothing to do
with Dongfang Shuo
435
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:08,260
His Majesty will never believe you
436
00:26:09,460 --> 00:26:12,380
Dongfang Shuo also won't
allow you to do that
437
00:26:14,140 --> 00:26:15,420
He said to me long ago that
438
00:26:16,660 --> 00:26:17,780
you must engage yourself with
His Majesty
439
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:22,260
- should anything happen to him. - Why?
440
00:26:23,380 --> 00:26:26,180
It won't help him in any means
if you do that
441
00:26:26,820 --> 00:26:28,740
You'll only be buried with him together
442
00:26:36,260 --> 00:26:38,300
Lord Zhang, please consider this
443
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:39,980
Without Dongfang Shuo
444
00:26:40,220 --> 00:26:42,100
how could you have risen to your position today?
445
00:26:43,620 --> 00:26:44,780
Dongfang Shuo only recommended me
446
00:26:45,540 --> 00:26:48,020
to aid His Majesty in his governance
by law
447
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:51,140
rather than act in collusion with him
for personal gains
448
00:26:52,420 --> 00:26:53,340
But Dongfang Shuo only acted
449
00:26:53,460 --> 00:26:56,500
in the interest of the state and its people
450
00:26:57,020 --> 00:27:00,260
Whatever we do, we must abide
by the law and reason
451
00:27:00,820 --> 00:27:02,340
If we don't convict Dongfang Shuo,
then everyone
452
00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:05,700
will fake as an Imperial Commissioner to pass on forged decrees
453
00:27:05,860 --> 00:27:09,540
resulting in nullification of the law and subversion of the regime
454
00:27:16,660 --> 00:27:17,620
No way
455
00:27:17,620 --> 00:27:18,860
I'll never allow a dubious execution
456
00:27:18,860 --> 00:27:20,460
to befall on Dongfang Shuo
457
00:27:22,260 --> 00:27:24,780
I'll rally the entire county to cry justice
for Dongfang Shuo
458
00:27:24,980 --> 00:27:27,900
- in front of His Majesty. - It won't work
459
00:27:29,820 --> 00:27:31,900
The emperor should listen to his people
460
00:27:33,180 --> 00:27:34,380
No matter the circumstance
461
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:37,340
an emperor will always defend
his absolute authority
462
00:27:37,460 --> 00:27:39,260
He will not be coerced by
the common folks
463
00:27:40,540 --> 00:27:42,300
Mrs. Dongfang, What ideas do you have?
464
00:27:45,820 --> 00:27:50,620
Idea? Dongfang Shuo has already
conjured up an idea
465
00:27:50,620 --> 00:27:52,340
What is that?
466
00:27:52,340 --> 00:27:59,580
To trade for the lives of thousands
with his own
467
00:28:04,260 --> 00:28:05,260
Dongfang Shuo
468
00:28:06,420 --> 00:28:08,260
It's not that I insist on taking your life
469
00:28:08,540 --> 00:28:11,980
Instead, the law won't tolerate you
470
00:28:13,620 --> 00:28:17,940
Your Majesty, you know that I'm good at
keeping accounts
471
00:28:18,460 --> 00:28:19,620
I've made careful calculations
472
00:28:19,820 --> 00:28:21,940
before taking action this time
473
00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:26,180
I haven't suffered any loss in this trade
474
00:28:27,740 --> 00:28:31,020
However, your own death didn't show up in your calculations
475
00:28:31,060 --> 00:28:33,860
I've taken into account everything
476
00:28:33,980 --> 00:28:35,980
except that Your Majesty should
arrive so swiftly
477
00:28:37,260 --> 00:28:41,140
It's worthwhile in every sense
to trade my life
478
00:28:41,220 --> 00:28:42,820
for thousands more
479
00:28:50,220 --> 00:28:54,100
Yi Zong may have stepped over the line
480
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:58,460
That's an understatement. He has
committed treason!
481
00:28:59,020 --> 00:29:00,460
But he had the public interest in mind
482
00:29:00,940 --> 00:29:02,980
He was helping me collect provisions for the military
483
00:29:03,940 --> 00:29:06,500
How shall we defeat the Xiongnu without military provisions, and how could
484
00:29:06,860 --> 00:29:10,220
we secure the risk-free livelihood of our people without their defeat?
485
00:29:10,860 --> 00:29:12,340
Wise words, Your Majesty
486
00:29:12,460 --> 00:29:15,020
Very well said indeed
487
00:29:16,420 --> 00:29:19,380
However, I'll add to your remark
488
00:29:19,740 --> 00:29:21,140
Without these people
489
00:29:21,460 --> 00:29:24,820
who would grow the crops for
Your Majesty
490
00:29:25,660 --> 00:29:29,220
Your Majesty, Dongfang Shuo has committed a capital crime
491
00:29:29,420 --> 00:29:30,740
but for the sake of
492
00:29:30,740 --> 00:29:31,900
the many lives that he saved
493
00:29:32,420 --> 00:29:35,020
- please show him some mercy - Never!
494
00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:38,340
Dongfang Shuo must be executed here and now to protect the law's integrity
495
00:29:38,340 --> 00:29:41,980
Lord Zhang, aren't you worried that this will incite a civil commotion?
496
00:29:42,140 --> 00:29:43,140
Bastard!
497
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:44,500
This is nonsense to me!
498
00:29:44,940 --> 00:29:48,260
The people will start an uprising at Dongfang Shuo's execution?
499
00:29:49,220 --> 00:29:53,580
Issue my decree. Dongfang Shuo, who faked as an Imperial Commissioner, will
500
00:29:53,580 --> 00:29:56,420
be publicly executed at the market in Shang County at noon tomorrow
501
00:30:01,820 --> 00:30:05,300
The flood is coming! Everyone, run!
502
00:30:05,300 --> 00:30:06,620
Hide in the hills over there
503
00:30:07,100 --> 00:30:09,980
Pull out!
504
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,700
Run, everyone! The flood is coming!
505
00:30:27,180 --> 00:30:30,060
My Lady, the top of the embankment
is almost repaired
506
00:30:30,340 --> 00:30:31,300
Leave no one behind
507
00:30:31,820 --> 00:30:34,100
Fall back right now to the hills over there. Hurry!
508
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:35,300
Qiu Hu!
509
00:30:35,740 --> 00:30:36,300
Qiu Hu!
510
00:30:41,260 --> 00:30:43,380
Look for His Majesty in the village
immediately
511
00:30:43,660 --> 00:30:46,620
and tell him to fall back to the hills
in the east
512
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:47,340
His Majesty is also here?
513
00:30:48,220 --> 00:30:50,380
He's in the best courtyard in the center of the village
514
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:58,660
Your Majesty! Let go of me!
515
00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:00,700
- Who are you? - Brother?
516
00:31:02,540 --> 00:31:04,900
Dongfang Shuo. What is this now?
517
00:31:05,260 --> 00:31:07,340
Why are you tied up?
518
00:31:07,460 --> 00:31:09,860
Brother, what happened? Why did you come here?
519
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:12,300
Qiu Gu asked me to seek out His Majesty
520
00:31:12,540 --> 00:31:15,220
The flood is here, run!
521
00:31:15,780 --> 00:31:16,660
Your Majesty
522
00:31:17,140 --> 00:31:19,540
It rained upstream all day
and night yesterday
523
00:31:19,860 --> 00:31:22,140
I thought that the flood wouldn't come
before nightfall
524
00:31:22,420 --> 00:31:24,940
But now the flood has arrived in advance
525
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:27,180
Your Majesty, you must leave now
526
00:31:27,420 --> 00:31:30,380
Dongfang Shuo! How dare you lie to us
527
00:31:30,740 --> 00:31:32,820
in this broad daylight!
528
00:31:32,980 --> 00:31:34,740
You're only seeking an opportunity
to escape!
529
00:31:34,860 --> 00:31:36,860
- Zhang Tang! - Come! - Yes, My Lord
530
00:31:36,860 --> 00:31:38,060
Take this man into custody as well
531
00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:39,380
You bastard!
532
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:41,580
If anything happens to His Majesty
533
00:31:41,660 --> 00:31:45,100
you won't be able to make up for it even if you die ten thousand times
534
00:31:46,420 --> 00:31:47,820
Your Majesty, what do you think?
535
00:31:49,020 --> 00:31:51,220
Your Majesty, you must not fall for his trick
536
00:31:51,220 --> 00:31:53,580
Zhang Tang, you punk!
537
00:31:54,060 --> 00:31:58,700
You will compromise the state and His Majesty
538
00:32:00,860 --> 00:32:01,940
Your Majesty
539
00:32:05,540 --> 00:32:07,020
- Come. - Yes, Your Majesty
540
00:32:09,220 --> 00:32:11,340
- Go out and inspect the situation at once.
- Understood
541
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:45,500
Your Majesty, we're in great trouble
542
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:46,780
The village entrance is already flooded
543
00:32:49,060 --> 00:32:51,420
- We must move now! - No!
544
00:32:52,460 --> 00:32:54,620
Your Majesty, it's already too late
545
00:32:55,740 --> 00:32:56,820
Then tell me, what shall we do?
546
00:32:57,220 --> 00:33:00,340
Climb up to the roof. Hurry!
547
00:33:00,340 --> 00:33:03,940
Come! Protect His Majesty! Hurry!
548
00:33:06,660 --> 00:33:08,460
Curse you all!
549
00:33:08,460 --> 00:33:11,420
You leave us behind running
for your own lives!
550
00:33:11,420 --> 00:33:14,700
Untie now! What are you doing?
551
00:33:15,580 --> 00:33:17,100
What are you doing?
552
00:33:17,100 --> 00:33:20,500
Cut the rope!
553
00:33:22,980 --> 00:33:24,020
Cut the rope!
554
00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:38,980
Qiu Hu is such an idiot
555
00:33:38,980 --> 00:33:40,660
Can't even deliver a message
556
00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:42,620
What a dumb fool
557
00:33:42,820 --> 00:33:46,020
I suppose His Majesty is trapped inside
558
00:33:46,460 --> 00:33:47,620
I don't care about the emperor
559
00:33:47,940 --> 00:33:49,540
There will be a new emperor if he dies
560
00:33:49,700 --> 00:33:51,580
But there's only one Brother Dongfang
561
00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:53,500
It serves no purpose to say that now
562
00:33:53,980 --> 00:33:54,980
If something really happens
to His Majesty
563
00:33:55,340 --> 00:33:58,300
- then Dongfang Shuo can't escape, either. - That's right
564
00:33:59,420 --> 00:34:00,580
We need to come up with something now
565
00:34:00,940 --> 00:34:03,060
Rally some men, we must find them
566
00:34:40,540 --> 00:34:43,340
Destiny has doomed my demise
567
00:34:51,140 --> 00:34:52,140
Your Majesty
568
00:34:53,020 --> 00:34:56,420
It's all Zhang Tang's fault that we're in this situation!
569
00:34:56,620 --> 00:34:58,060
If he didn't compromise your safety
570
00:34:58,380 --> 00:34:59,980
Your Majesty would have long
571
00:35:00,060 --> 00:35:02,660
fallen back to the high grounds
to the east
572
00:35:02,780 --> 00:35:03,900
If there's anyone to blame, it's you!
573
00:35:04,780 --> 00:35:07,500
If you didn't fake as an Imperial Commissioner and killed a court official
574
00:35:07,660 --> 00:35:10,140
His Majesty would never come to this middle of nowhere
575
00:35:10,140 --> 00:35:13,620
If I apply your logic, then I should
blame Yi Zong
576
00:35:13,980 --> 00:35:17,340
No. I'd blame Wang Xiu who brought calamity to the state and its people
577
00:35:18,820 --> 00:35:22,060
If he didn't force Yi Zong into the court to occupy an official post
578
00:35:22,180 --> 00:35:23,740
hoping to expand his influence,
and came up
579
00:35:23,900 --> 00:35:27,100
with the absurd idea of Resistance Provisions and Loyalty Provisions
580
00:35:27,740 --> 00:35:29,540
I would long have been in
Taoyuan County
581
00:35:29,540 --> 00:35:32,220
and comfortably acting as the magistrate there
582
00:35:32,220 --> 00:35:34,060
Dongfang Shuo, you're just twisting words
583
00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:37,420
Enough! Shut up, both of you
584
00:35:52,180 --> 00:35:53,380
Rest assured, My Lady
585
00:35:53,380 --> 00:35:56,260
I will find Lord Dongfang
and bring them back
586
00:35:56,260 --> 00:35:57,940
You must be careful
587
00:35:58,380 --> 00:36:00,860
Rest assured, My Lady.
We shall leave now
588
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:18,620
The water is rising even more
589
00:36:24,580 --> 00:36:28,700
Why am I so unlucky, heavens
590
00:36:30,540 --> 00:36:32,380
I'm just a nobody
591
00:36:32,980 --> 00:36:36,500
Why should I be fed to the turtles
with them?
592
00:36:38,620 --> 00:36:41,620
Brother, stop crying. You're a grown man
593
00:36:41,820 --> 00:36:43,020
What you just said was wrong
594
00:36:43,020 --> 00:36:46,700
- Why? - Be careful! - What's wrong
about it?
595
00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:47,500
Think about it
596
00:36:47,980 --> 00:36:50,900
For a nobody like you,
597
00:36:51,380 --> 00:36:55,340
it is the greatest honor to die together
598
00:36:55,380 --> 00:36:58,420
with Lord Zhang Tang and His Majesty
599
00:36:58,460 --> 00:37:01,740
You should feel the utmost pride,
understand?
600
00:37:02,260 --> 00:37:03,060
Nonsense
601
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:22,540
Mrs. Dongfang, look! A log raft
has returned
602
00:37:23,620 --> 00:37:24,660
It's Ma
603
00:37:24,740 --> 00:37:26,940
Lord Dongfang, this is no time
604
00:37:27,020 --> 00:37:28,620
to make jokes
605
00:37:29,340 --> 00:37:32,900
Forget about the jokes. I've made peace with myself long ago
606
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:37,300
Death shall come upon me regardless
of my fear for it
607
00:37:37,780 --> 00:37:39,300
No matter what happens, my head
will still be hanging
608
00:37:39,620 --> 00:37:42,820
before the gates of Shang County
by noon tomorrow
609
00:37:43,820 --> 00:37:45,100
Even a death row prisoner
610
00:37:45,820 --> 00:37:50,020
is allowed to sing a few lines of opera before his execution
611
00:37:52,140 --> 00:37:55,940
I suppose His Majesty will definitely
allow me to joke a little
612
00:37:56,260 --> 00:37:57,380
Dongfang Shuo!
613
00:37:57,940 --> 00:38:01,420
Utter one more nonsense, and you'll be cut down right now
614
00:38:02,460 --> 00:38:05,100
Lord Dongfang, don't talk anymore
615
00:38:13,820 --> 00:38:17,700
When I first came to Chang'an
616
00:38:17,740 --> 00:38:20,100
I've made three wishes
617
00:38:21,540 --> 00:38:26,460
In the course of only a few years,
I've realized half of them
618
00:38:27,740 --> 00:38:30,980
I'll die with regret
619
00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:35,900
but I definitely won't be ashamed of myself
620
00:38:37,540 --> 00:38:40,780
Three wishes? Which three?
621
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:46,140
First, take down the Dou family
to safeguard the regime
622
00:38:46,820 --> 00:38:48,580
That you have already accomplished
623
00:38:48,860 --> 00:38:49,620
What about the second?
624
00:38:50,180 --> 00:38:53,060
Defend against foreign aggression and fight against the Xiongnu
625
00:38:53,980 --> 00:38:55,980
Although our victory has yet to come
626
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:56,980
I've already taught Wei Qing about
627
00:38:56,980 --> 00:39:01,180
all the variations of the Spiked Wagon formation
628
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:04,580
This will lay the foundation for our future victory
629
00:39:04,980 --> 00:39:06,740
I'd count that as half of a success
630
00:39:09,420 --> 00:39:10,460
What about your third wish?
631
00:39:12,220 --> 00:39:13,460
My third wish
632
00:39:14,780 --> 00:39:17,140
and my only regret is that
633
00:39:18,460 --> 00:39:22,300
I didn't completely abolish the consort kin from interfering with the court
634
00:39:22,540 --> 00:39:23,580
Lord Dongfang
635
00:39:24,060 --> 00:39:26,780
This isn't something you can do
all by yourself
636
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:28,220
Those treacherous ministers
should take all the blame
637
00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:32,500
And also, this so-called loyal minister among us
638
00:39:33,180 --> 00:39:34,500
They attack me from both sides
639
00:39:34,540 --> 00:39:36,980
and made my death their paramount goal
640
00:39:36,980 --> 00:39:39,140
These people have obstructed His Majesty
from his great undertakings
641
00:39:39,260 --> 00:39:43,540
Dongfang Shuo! You are spewing wild words and slandering loyal men
642
00:39:43,540 --> 00:39:44,740
Stop yelling!
643
00:39:44,780 --> 00:39:46,500
Can't you see that this house
is falling apart?
644
00:39:48,460 --> 00:39:49,740
Zhang Tang, listen to me
645
00:39:50,540 --> 00:39:51,980
If you keep yelling
646
00:39:51,980 --> 00:39:54,300
you'll really knock the house apart
647
00:39:54,340 --> 00:39:56,860
Then you'll be the culprit for
His Majesty's demise
648
00:39:57,020 --> 00:39:59,140
That would be treason and your entire family would be executed
649
00:40:01,820 --> 00:40:04,060
Dongfang Shuo!
650
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:11,460
- Ma. - My Lady. - How did it go?
651
00:40:11,460 --> 00:40:14,020
I found His Majesty and the Lord Commissioner
652
00:40:15,260 --> 00:40:16,740
The entire village is flooded
653
00:40:17,140 --> 00:40:18,820
They're trapped on a large roof
654
00:40:19,220 --> 00:40:20,220
We have two issues at hand
655
00:40:20,540 --> 00:40:21,780
One, the currents are too strong
656
00:40:21,940 --> 00:40:23,180
for us to move anywhere near
657
00:40:23,380 --> 00:40:25,100
Two, His Majesty has brought
many men with him
658
00:40:25,580 --> 00:40:27,420
We need more rafts over there
659
00:40:28,060 --> 00:40:30,060
We don't have any more log rafts left
660
00:40:30,700 --> 00:40:33,300
We need to organize some men to cut down trees to build more rafts
661
00:40:34,580 --> 00:40:36,500
- Hurry up! - Folks, let's go
662
00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:38,060
- Come with me to cut down more trees.
- Hurry up!47988
