=Road to Splendor=

2
00:01:32,252 --> 00:01:34,940
(Adapted from the novel of the same name
by Zhi Zhi of Yuewen Group)

3
00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:37,820
=Episode 31=

4
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,080
Emperor, please look into this matter.

5
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,740
- Emperor, please look into this.
- Emperor, please look into this.

6
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,240
(Northwest kills honest traders)
Mrs Wu's body was not found.

7
00:01:44,559 --> 00:01:47,000
(and the body was thrown away. How cruel)
Northwestern officials failed to accept bribes

8
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,559
thus killing him.

9
00:01:48,559 --> 00:01:50,279
Where is justice?

10
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,039
The Northwest people sure are greedy.

11
00:01:54,039 --> 00:01:54,919
Obviously

12
00:01:54,919 --> 00:01:57,160
salt reform is a good thing
which can improve the welfare of the people.

13
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,479
They even hindered him
for fear of losing profits.

14
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,399
- Where is justice?
- Where is justice?

15
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,080
How presumptuous!

16
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:10,399
You are protesting together.
This action already annoyed the Emperor.

17
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:12,719
Aren't you afraid of death?

18
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:14,879
We appeal to the Emperor
to investigate the North West

19
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:16,599
and give justice to Madam Wu!

20
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:17,740
- We appeal to the Emperor
- We appeal to the Emperor

21
00:02:17,740 --> 00:02:18,879
- to investigate the North West

00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,520

- and bring justice to Mrs. Wu.

26
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,960
Emperor, please investigate this matter.

27
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,480
There must be someone pushing
An's traders to protest.

28
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,719
I would like to request permission to immediately...

29
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,399
The merchants kowtowed at Wu Gate.
People continue to debate this.

30
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,640
This problem must be ended immediately.

31
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,399
General Mo is an honest man.

32
00:02:50,999 --> 00:02:54,159
He can't possibly commit corruption,
let alone asking for bribes from traders.

33
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,960
Emperor, please consider
this thing again.

34
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,999
How could I not know?

35
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:03,040
The North West is already guarding the territory
what's important.

36
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,879
Wangwu'er didn't dare either
invade again.

37
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,760
I remember all these contributions.

38
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,640
However, sometimes
hard to balance

39
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,200
emotion and reason.

40
00:03:17,399 --> 00:03:18,159
Previously,

41
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,399
The Great Queen Mother stepped up and overcame
the matter of repairing the imperial tombs.

42
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:25,760
But then, don't I
still writing introspective decrees?

43
00:03:26,839 --> 00:03:29,559
According to you, I wrote
this introspective decree

44
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:34,760
to show
to all the people or Grandma?

45
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,480
I scolded myself
in the decree.

46
00:03:44,839 --> 00:03:47,399
Actually, I was railing against Grandma.

47
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,879
I hope,
he would make this a lesson

48
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,800
and not act
out of bounds again.

49
00:03:52,679 --> 00:03:54,200
Queen Mother Agung said

50
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,559
that he would not discuss this
for the time being.

51
00:03:57,839 --> 00:03:59,800
I don't want him
just keep quiet this time,

52
00:04:00,559 --> 00:04:03,960
but also never discussed it again.

53
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:08,879
I once said
that I really respect Grandma.

54
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,480
I pretend to be obedient like this
and even recorded it in history.

55
00:04:16,039 --> 00:04:19,000
Doesn't my heart hurt?

56
00:04:19,719 --> 00:04:21,479
However, while occupying this position,

57
00:04:22,359 --> 00:04:26,839
I also have to consider
my sincerity.

58
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,279
Actually, I was first
know Mo Yi better than you.

59
00:04:35,479 --> 00:04:37,080
Do you still remember?

60
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,479
Huchen, I've already discussed
many things with you.

61
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,080
I even wanted to ask you.

62
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,799
Actually, you are
My subordinates or the North West?

63
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,239
If Mo Yi's problem is not resolved,
North West's reputation would be tarnished,

64
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,919
salt reform cannot be implemented,

65
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:12,680
and political deadlock
also not resolved.

66
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:14,799
Which is more important?

67
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,839
I always trust you
in solving problems.

68
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,919
This time, don't let me down.

69
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:42,479
Servant for sure
will not disappoint you.

70
00:05:45,599 --> 00:05:49,000
This Concubine Wu was indeed hard to predict.

71
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,080
He still hasn't delivered it
until now.

72
00:05:53,919 --> 00:05:54,839
Never mind,

73
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,440
did he change his mind?

74
00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,680
Let's wait a little longer.

75
00:06:01,340 --> 00:06:03,380
(Virtuous and Graceful)

76
00:06:06,239 --> 00:06:06,919
Mrs.

77
00:06:09,719 --> 00:06:12,239
Recently, Jingxiu had often been restless.

78
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,880
Talk to him.

79
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,440
This is pear flower essence wine
which is stored in the basement.

80
00:06:17,719 --> 00:06:20,760
This wine is the most effective
in releasing the burden of thoughts.

81
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,080
Thank you, ma'am.

82
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,599
The descendants of the Yu Family are very few.

83
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,359
Now, First Young Madam
is no longer reliable.

84
00:06:33,719 --> 00:06:34,479
Meanwhile,

85
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,080
You've been around for a long time too
married Jingxiu.

86
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,520
For women, it is better to rely
own child rather than someone else's.

87
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,039
I understand.

88
00:06:45,599 --> 00:06:47,880
It's good that you understand.
Hurry up and meet him.

89
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,880
This is a rare opportunity.
I'm like this too because I think about you.

90
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,919
OK, ma'am.

91
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,680
Previously, I chose the Yu Family

92
00:07:02,159 --> 00:07:03,440
not because of glory
and his honor.

93
00:07:03,799 --> 00:07:05,359
At first, I thought
in a family of scholars,

94
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,200
there will be no evil people.

95
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,799
However, now
Aunt died at the hands of the Yu Family.

96
00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:16,000
I've already misjudged once.
I won't do it again.

97
00:07:16,919 --> 00:07:18,080
I have to think of a way

98
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,520
to send
Aunt's note to him.

99
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,919
Miss, think carefully.
Currently, we are being closely monitored.

100
00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:28,440
Outside, there was an aunt standing guard.

101
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:31,239
I'm afraid, it's difficult
to send the goods again.

102
00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:38,620
(Lighted by Moonlight
which is bright all night)

103
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:53,640
Young Master.

104
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,440
What is it?

105
00:07:57,279 --> 00:08:00,880
Mom orders you because you can't
bossing around First Young Madam again?

106
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,440
The problem between Mrs
and First Young Mistress

107
00:08:03,799 --> 00:08:05,399
it has nothing to do with me.

108
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:16,479
I just remembered
that the Young Master was discouraged

109
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,239
and should find comfort.

110
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,960
I also experienced the same thing.

111
00:08:24,799 --> 00:08:26,000
Ninth Miss

112
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:28,919
definitely have some tough days.

113
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,160
He lost his parents
in the near future.

114
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,560
He must be very sad.

115
00:08:40,599 --> 00:08:42,040
However, at times like these,

116
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,839
Dad even embarrassed him
with problems in the past.

117
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,280
Today, I went to Tanshui Temple
to pray for Auntie.

118
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:02,999
I want to too

119
00:09:04,599 --> 00:09:06,639
bring a small gift
for Ninth Miss.

120
00:09:12,599 --> 00:09:13,400
Young Master,

121
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,320
this silk will not be effective
if exposed to human aura.

122
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:29,879
I know, Young Master thought about this.

123
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,040
What if

124
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,160
You tell the servant to bring this silk
to Xie's Jewelry Shop?

125
00:09:34,599 --> 00:09:37,200
Think of it as paying off
I owe him a debt of gratitude.

126
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:51,239
Chengxin.

127
00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:54,320
Young master.

128
00:09:54,599 --> 00:09:55,440
Deliver this silk.

129
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,200
Remember it well.

130
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,400
Don't let anyone else
touch this silk

131
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,960
so as not to tarnish his luck.

132
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:04,800
Good.

133
00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:11,500
(Diamond Sutra)

134
00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:12,820
(Head of the Ceremonial Bureau of the Ministry of Rites,
Mr. Shen)

135
00:10:13,719 --> 00:10:17,599
It turned out to be Mrs. Wu
is not just bribing the Mo Family

136
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,440
on the issue of salt reform.

137
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,599
This note records habits
the ladies and gentlemen of each residence.

138
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:23,719
Very good.

139
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:25,040
With this note,

140
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,200
we can prove that Mrs. Wu
donate voluntarily.

141
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,599
The North West was finally saved.

142
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:30,719
Finally saved.

143
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,719
Finally saved.

144
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,599
Madam, there are guests visiting.

145
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,280
I don't want to see him.
I don't want to meet anyone.

146
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,440
Mr. Zhao came.

147
00:10:52,999 --> 00:10:53,999
Brother-in-law.

148
00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:55,680
Mr. Zhao.

149
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:02,440
The Emperor told me to handle this.

150
00:11:03,599 --> 00:11:04,759
Is there a message

151
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:08,839
what you want to convey
to General Mo?

152
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,479
Jika kau yang menginterogasi Mo Yi,

153
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:15,040
I also felt relieved.

154
00:11:15,719 --> 00:11:16,320
Oh yes.

155
00:11:16,479 --> 00:11:18,160
Coincidentally there is
yang ingin kuberikan kepadanya.

156
00:11:18,239 --> 00:11:19,639
Mr. Zhao, sit down first.

157
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:30,440
It doesn't matter.

158
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,160
Quickly take the goods.

159
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,639
Mo Yi memang memiliki kulit yang tebal,

160
00:11:42,839 --> 00:11:45,479
tapi dia tidak pernah masuk penjara.

161
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,040
When the air temperature drops,
prison will be cold.

162
00:11:48,839 --> 00:11:53,999
Ini adalah pakaian yang aku dan putriku
make it for three days and three nights.

163
00:11:54,599 --> 00:11:55,999
Tolong berikan kepadanya.

164
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:04,800
Is there a message

165
00:12:08,239 --> 00:12:09,599
what you want to convey
to General Mo?

166
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,239
We've been married a long time.
There's nothing to say.

167
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,400
If there is any,

168
00:12:22,479 --> 00:12:24,080
I'll tell him
after he came home.

169
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,759
Mo Yi, interrogation.

170
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,920
Little brother, luckily you came.

171
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,800
Very luxurious.

172
00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:56,639
The two of us

173
00:13:58,359 --> 00:14:00,280
It's been a long time since we drank wine together.

174
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:02,040
Come on, drink.

175
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:03,560
Today,

176
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:06,320
let's drink a few cups.

177
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,200
Pour until full.

178
00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:17,560
Very enjoyable.

179
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,280
Actually, I'm older
a few years from you.

180
00:14:29,239 --> 00:14:32,359
I also joined the government
several years earlier.

181
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,519
You should call me Big Brother.

182
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,960
However, objectively,

183
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,519
you are greater than me
in various ways.

184
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,839
You contributed to Yongning Prefecture.

185
00:14:47,999 --> 00:14:49,560
You brought honor to the North West.

186
00:14:50,359 --> 00:14:52,080
It's all thanks to you.

187
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:54,759
Come on.

188
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:56,680
With this cup,

189
00:14:58,239 --> 00:14:58,960
I toast you.

190
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:00,519
Let's just say

191
00:15:01,239 --> 00:15:02,200
as a greeting
my thanks.

192
00:15:03,719 --> 00:15:04,879
General Mo is valiant.

193
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,160
General Mo helped me
finished off Fourth Master Feng

194
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,040
so I can survive.

195
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,960
General Mo also guided me
in Ganlin City.

196
00:15:22,839 --> 00:15:24,040
I should be the one toasting you.

197
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,680
Didn't I ask you
call me Brother?

198
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,200
Why still call me General Mo?

199
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,359
You don't recognize me as your older brother?

200
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,280
Brother Mo.

201
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:47,320
Drink until it's finished.

202
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,960
little brother,

203
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,999
I know,

204
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,040
North West

205
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,280
can't get involved.

206
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,719
It's all my fault for insisting

207
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,479
chase success like everyone else.

208
00:16:11,239 --> 00:16:12,200
In the end,

209
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:14,800
I get...

210
00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:22,200
Get a sharp knife.

211
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,320
You've worked hard, little brother.

212
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:28,320
You still have to
clean up this mess.

213
00:16:34,719 --> 00:16:35,759
Is your sister-in-law

214
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,879
didn't leave me a message?

215
00:16:44,999 --> 00:16:46,320
Sister-in-law said

216
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,719
that she still wants to be your wife
in the next life.

217
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,239
You're basic.
You don't understand him at all.

218
00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:06,880
Just so you know.

219
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,600
Even if you behead me now,
he would just cry for a moment.

220
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,840
He won't want to see me again
in the next life.

221
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,279
It's just that, little brother,
I thank you for your good intentions.

222
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:23,160
Come on.

223
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:27,519
Drink until it's finished.

224
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:46,880
It's enough.

225
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:50,039
The time is almost here.

226
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,519
It's time for you to behead me.

227
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,079
However, little brother,

228
00:17:59,239 --> 00:18:00,440
this time

229
00:18:01,719 --> 00:18:03,920
you have to behead me yourself.

230
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,840
In these difficult times,
don't let the Emperor suspect you again.

231
00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:27,840
Come on.

232
00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:55,680
little brother,

233
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:01,999
in the future, please take care
my wife and children.

234
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,479
Think of it as fulfilling a bond
our friendship. How?

235
00:19:10,239 --> 00:19:11,360
Stay cool.

You came home so late.
Have you had dinner yet?

246
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,160
I found physical evidence

247
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,559
for Mrs. Wu's matter.
Maybe it's useful.

248
00:21:28,279 --> 00:21:29,440
I'll show it to you.

249
00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:30,920
Do not go.

250
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:42,920
Accompany me for a moment.

251
00:22:23,319 --> 00:22:24,479
Mrs. Wu's problem

252
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:28,559
will be resolved soon.

253
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:30,920
The North West will be fine.

254
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,600
Is it true?

255
00:22:35,719 --> 00:22:36,999
A few days ago,

256
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,319
isn't merchant An
Still looking for trouble?

257
00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:45,160
Why did this problem just end like that?

258
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,600
Emperor

259
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,600
firm and honest.

260
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,799
Plus the Great Queen Mother
who buried Mrs. Wu,

261
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,759
this problem was resolved.

262
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,719
Later, there will be many
trivial matters in the capital.

263
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:12,999
Don't travel too often.

264
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:16,640
Take care of yourself.

265
00:23:39,980 --> 00:23:43,100

266
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:55,319
Mrs.

267
00:24:04,319 --> 00:24:05,680
When did this happen?

268
00:24:05,999 --> 00:24:08,680
The government bureau told them to
brought his body back this morning.

269
00:24:24,340 --> 00:24:26,900
(Casket of Late Husband, Mo Yi)

270
00:24:40,239 --> 00:24:42,079
I have bowed down to you.

271
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,360
I trust you guys so much.

272
00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:49,279
Why Zhao Ling

273
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,519
do you really have the heart to behead him?

274
00:24:56,279 --> 00:24:57,880
We've been friends for years.

275
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,920
Why did he have the heart to behead him?

276
00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:08,360
Why didn't you tell me?

277
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,640
I consider you as my own sister.

278
00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:24,160
Here. Come and take a look.
You are the adoptive mother of my three children!

279
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:26,360
Why didn't you tell me?

280
00:25:27,479 --> 00:25:31,319
Why didn't you tell me?

281
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:35,440
This is not something that can be decided
by house women like us.

282
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,160
Why are you making things difficult for him?

283
00:25:37,239 --> 00:25:38,160
If you don't blame him,

284
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:42,799
Who can I blame?

285
00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:47,400
Blame you!

286
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:53,039
Mo, get up quickly.

287
00:25:53,519 --> 00:25:55,519
What a bad guy!

288
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,840
After three months of marriage,
you went on a military expedition.

289
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:08,920
You're always not at home.

290
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,559
Then, finally you came back.

291
00:26:13,759 --> 00:26:15,360
You also brought home a concubine.

292
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,999
I gave birth to three children for you.

293
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:26,440
Why did you abandon your wife
and your children just like that? Get up.

294
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:33,479
Get up!

295
00:26:33,479 --> 00:26:34,060
(Dead husband Mo Yi's spirit board)

296
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:39,479
- Little brother.
- Older brother.

297
00:26:39,479 --> 00:26:39,960
Younger brother.

298
00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:40,920
Older brother.

299
00:26:41,999 --> 00:26:43,440
Take care of your health, little brother.

300
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:46,640
Older brother.

301
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,079
In the end, it was my fault.

302
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,319
I shouldn't have forced him
achieve success.

303
00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:02,160
It's my fault.

304
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,920
I should
Don't always look for mistakes.

305
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:10,479
It's my fault. It should be me
didn't tell him to make a contribution

306
00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:15,160
so it ended like this.

307
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,079
It's my fault!

308
00:27:17,079 --> 00:27:17,999
Mother.

309
00:27:17,999 --> 00:27:18,680
This is all my fault!

310
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,999
- Older brother.
- Younger brother.

311
00:27:20,519 --> 00:27:21,279
Younger brother.

312
00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:25,440
- Younger brother.
- All this is my fault!

313
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,079
Take care of your health, little brother.

314
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:28,559
- Mother.
- Mother.

315
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:35,940
(Mo Residence)

316
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,759
I told you I found it
important physical evidence.

317
00:27:54,079 --> 00:27:56,160
We just need to ask the Prefecture
Chengqian just re-investigated.

318
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,960
Why can't you wait
for a few days?

319
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,719
Even though you
obtain records of evidence of bribery,

320
00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:22,799
What can that prove?

321
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:25,400
This problem

322
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,559
ordered by the Emperor himself.

323
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:30,400
He wanted to sacrifice Mo Yi
to appease trader An.

324
00:28:31,079 --> 00:28:32,239
Whatever the truth,

325
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,400
does the Emperor care?

326
00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:39,600
He just wanted to stabilize
the issue of salt reform

327
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,079
and immediately fully fill the state treasury.

328
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,319
We can't save him
in this case.

329
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:50,840
The Emperor had already made his decision.

330
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,680
Now, we have to hurry
uplifting

331
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,160
and get ready
face the next problem.

332
00:29:08,479 --> 00:29:09,600
The next problem?

333
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,479
What's the next problem?

334
00:29:18,719 --> 00:29:20,160
I'm worried,

335
00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:23,960
The Emperor will take advantage of this
to elevate my position

336
00:29:24,519 --> 00:29:25,759
and give you an honorary title.

337
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,279
We also have to hold
promotion banquet.

338
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:50,880
I can act
Mrs. Zhao's character was good.

339
00:29:51,999 --> 00:29:53,519
However, I'm afraid that one day,

340
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,360
because he played it for too long,

341
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,880
I will absolutely
to be like Mrs. Yu

342
00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:04,759
and you became Grand Secretary Yu.

343
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:09,719
I regret it more and more.

344
00:30:10,999 --> 00:30:11,799
At that time,

345
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,960
I encourage you to start an official career
because of my selfish interests.

346
00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:42,759
Former North West Youji General, Mo Yi,

347
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,239
kill the merchant
for failing to accept bribes.

348
00:30:49,479 --> 00:30:53,519
He failed to live up to the Emperor's expectations
and thrown into prison.

349
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,360
He has been sentenced to death.

350
00:31:04,319 --> 00:31:07,519
Mo Yi indeed deserved the death penalty.

351
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,519
However, considering his courage

352
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,519
in breaking through
and destroy the enemy's defenses,

353
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,600
I will free the wife
and his daughter from exile,

354
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,440
and allowed to stay
as law-abiding people.

355
00:31:18,279 --> 00:31:19,519
The Emperor was very wise.

356
00:31:19,719 --> 00:31:23,880
This case was resolved quickly,
without causing political turmoil.

357
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,519
I feel very relieved.

358
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:26,960
I bestow Zhao Ling

359
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,279
third level position
with the title of General Zhaoyong.

360
00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:32,479
His wife, Mrs. Fu, also contributed
in helping her husband.

361
00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:33,440
Him specifically

362
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:35,880
was appointed Mrs
with a second level imperial title.

363
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:36,840
The Emperor awarded

364
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,360
gold embroidered ceremonial robes
with cloud and peacock motifs,

365
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:41,460
pheasant crown,

366
00:31:41,460 --> 00:31:42,960
as well as annual allowances
amounting to 6,000 kilograms of grain.

367
00:31:43,039 --> 00:31:44,279
On the first day of the lunar year

368
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,079
and the Turning Point Festival
Winter Sun,

369
00:31:45,079 --> 00:31:48,279
enter the palace wearing
the ceremonial dress of the Lady of Honor

370
00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:51,640
to pay respects and give thanks
by the grace of the Emperor. That's all.

371
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,319
I thank you
by the grace of the Emperor.

372
00:32:12,020 --> 00:32:14,180
(Imperial Decree)

373
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,880
Thank you for the Emperor's grace.

374
00:32:42,039 --> 00:32:45,640
He lost against Grand Secretary Yu,
but instead got promoted.

375
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,680
His rank rose from level four
become level three in the near future.

376
00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:52,400
Especially that bracelet on her hand.

377
00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:54,200
That's the bracelet the Emperor always wore.

378
00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:56,799
Among all the imperial officials,
only he has it.

379
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,840
His wife received the honorary title
level three has risen to level two.

380
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,960
Something like this has never happened
since the empire was founded.

381
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,559
The Emperor openly wanted to
informed all imperial officials

382
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:12,640
that Zhao Ling was his accomplice.
He was the informant.

383
00:33:13,479 --> 00:33:14,960
Not North West's.

384
00:33:16,999 --> 00:33:19,840
Now, you don't know
whether he wins or loses.

385
00:33:20,479 --> 00:33:23,200
Because, it's still not there yet
the most important moment.

386
00:33:23,719 --> 00:33:25,880
The essence of the Emperor's problem
is the state treasury.

387
00:33:26,039 --> 00:33:30,719
The person who solved this problem
will become the Emperor's favorite.

388
00:33:32,519 --> 00:33:33,920
Congratulations, Mr. Zhao.

389
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:41,160
What is this lapis lazuli stone bracelet
does it feel comfortable when held?

390
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:47,999
Grand Secretary Yu was too flattering.

391
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,319
I just get
the Emperor's generosity alone.

392
00:33:55,239 --> 00:33:59,039
Mr. Zhao has already assumed responsibility
big at such a young age.

393
00:34:01,319 --> 00:34:05,400
However, did you know?
what is power?

394
00:34:06,479 --> 00:34:08,199
Starting today,

395
00:34:09,999 --> 00:34:12,360
you have to do things
what you are willing to do.

396
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,360
What you're not willing to do,
you should do it too.

397
00:34:17,079 --> 00:34:19,479
You have to kill people
what you want.

398
00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:23,400
People you don't want to kill
you have to kill it too.

399
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:30,639
Do you feel
that bracelet on your hand

400
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,199
getting heavier and out of control?

401
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,440
You were born and raised in the Yu Family.

402
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,679
You witnessed the prosperity of the Yu Family.

403
00:35:12,999 --> 00:35:14,440
It could be said that you
already have experience.

404
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,800
What kind of person do you think you are?
This Zhao Ling?

405
00:35:20,999 --> 00:35:25,440
I feel that he is
it's the same as Mrs. Wu.

406
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:29,800
He was like a bunch of grass.

407
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,240
Because it has no roots,

408
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,280
he also tried to grow upwards
with all my might.

409
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,440
He also wants other people to know
that he grows well,

410
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,720
is also a beneficial grass
which does not damage plants

411
00:35:39,199 --> 00:35:40,559
so that it is not revoked.

412
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,920
You are right.

413
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:52,639
People who struggle from zero
increasingly afraid of two things.

414
00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:55,840
The first is getting greedier
will be promoted.

415
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,960
Second is showing
excessive loyalty to superiors.

416
00:36:01,999 --> 00:36:03,599
Currently, the Zhao Family

417
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:07,639
it is indeed there
at the peak of his glory.

418
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,320
However, it was actually Zhao Ling
attacked from various sides.

419
00:36:11,679 --> 00:36:13,599
He is also at odds with the North West.

420
00:36:14,159 --> 00:36:19,039
Once the Emperor doesn't protect him anymore,
he definitely wouldn't be saved.

421
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:27,639
Young people don't know that success
will drop it.

422
00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:29,880
(Xie Residence)
Congratulations, Mr. Zhao.

423
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:30,679
- Congratulations, Mr. Zhao.
- Congratulations, Mr. Zhao.

424
00:36:30,679 --> 00:36:32,320
- Happy.
- Happy.

425
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,400
If you have free time, visit often
to the Zhou Residence.

426
00:36:34,479 --> 00:36:35,320
Of course.

427
00:36:38,519 --> 00:36:39,079
Please.

428
00:36:39,559 --> 00:36:39,920
Good.

429
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,360
I still remember, when I was in Ganlin,

430
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,570
General Mo couldn't show it
his bias openly.

431
00:36:48,199 --> 00:36:49,599
However, every time you give a task,

432
00:36:50,039 --> 00:36:53,199
he will secretly group us
with Lord Ninth.

433
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,960
However, he had to smile
at today's banquet.

434
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,599
He had to show
to everyone that he was happy.

435
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,999
Mrs. Wei is busy
with matters at home

436
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:03,519
and apologize
because I couldn't come.

437
00:37:03,639 --> 00:37:05,800
He asked his servant
delivered a big gift here.

438
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,440
Why don't you see the ladies
from the North West?

439
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,679
Even though I've been invited,
maybe they didn't dare to come.

440
00:37:12,999 --> 00:37:15,320
Mrs. Zhao, listen to my advice.

441
00:37:15,639 --> 00:37:18,039
Husbands are people
that we rely on for life.

442
00:37:18,039 --> 00:37:19,519
On this happy day,

443
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:21,280
don't let anyone else
ruin your mood.

444
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,400
Correct.

445
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:24,159
Wives follow their husbands after marriage.

446
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,599
Because she has become the mistress of the residence,

447
00:37:25,679 --> 00:37:28,720
your every move and word
will represent the Zhao Family.

448
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,360
As long as the husband and wife have a heart
the same,

449
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,199
you can enjoy fame
and wealth in the future.

450
00:37:33,199 --> 00:37:34,280
That's right.

451
00:37:34,519 --> 00:37:34,999
Come on.

452
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:37,400
Come on, Mrs. Zhao. Drink another cup.

453
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:38,240
Come on.

454
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:38,880
Come, Mrs. Zhao.

455
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,840
Mr. Zhao, if you...
need our help later,

456
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:42,960
just say it directly.

457
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,599
Lord Zhao, you are highly favored by the Emperor.

458
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:48,960
However, what did the Emperor think

459
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,159
about the salt trading system
recently?

460
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,880
Mr. Zhao,
please give a little hint.

461
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:55,199
Yes

462
00:37:55,199 --> 00:37:57,880
Actually, what did the Emperor think
about salt reform?

463
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,639
Mr. Zhao, please provide guidance.

464
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,240
Please provide guidance.

465
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:09,760
Master is already drunk.
Quick, take Master to go rest.

466
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:11,199
Sir.

467
00:38:11,199 --> 00:38:12,130
- Lord Ninth.
- Lord Ninth.

468
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:12,720
- Come on.
- Slowly.

469
00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:13,599
Slowly.

470
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:16,599
- Have a good rest, Mr. Zhao.
- Have a good rest, Mr. Zhao.

471
00:38:16,599 --> 00:38:17,760
Be careful, Mr. Zhao.

472
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:18,519
- Have a good rest, Mr. Zhao.
- Have a good rest, Mr. Zhao.

473
00:38:24,580 --> 00:38:27,100
(Next Episode Footage)

474
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,800
I'm afraid one day,

475
00:38:29,479 --> 00:38:32,440
I was forced to leave everyone behind,
including you.

476
00:38:33,679 --> 00:38:36,479
It's better if we just split up.

477
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,240
I never will
leaving you alone in the capital.

478
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,519
You won't be able to fight them.

479
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,320
Nonsense!
What kind of nonsense are you saying?

480
00:38:43,599 --> 00:38:46,440
This family is getting more and more chaotic,
I will be happier.

481
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,320
Mother has thousands of ways
to kill him,

482
00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:52,720
One took advantage of me,
the other threatened me.

483
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:56,360
