Joy of Life

Episode 26

17

Father, looking for me?

18

You are back. Take a seat.

19

Honglu Temple's negotiation has ended.

20

Be steady tomorrow when you are at the hall.

21

Are you referring to the night banquet tomorrow?

22

What's wrong with this meal?

23

Everyone knows that Northern Qi is the best when it comes to literary talent.

24

Northern Qi is the best when it comes to literary talent.

25

Years ago, scholars actually treated

26

passing the Northern Qi exams as a badge of honour.

27

It's since got better, but if we're talking about literary talent,

28

our Southern Qing is still lagging behind.

29

The literary circle of Qing State is now placing their hopes on you.

30

Me?

31

Literary circle?

32

That poem you wrote a few days ago, "Miles away from home"

33

was evaluated by my literary officials as the top in seven words poem.

34

Privately, many people are also saying,

35

This youngster is outstanding.

36

In the future, he will not lose to Zhuang Mohan.

37

I merely wrote a poem. Isn't this too rushed?

38

It's just a poem

39

But the amount of literary talent in our country is really at a low.

40

Even if we're flogging a dead horse, we'd still do it.

41

What about me then?

42

You are that dead horse.

43

Hence, tomorrow night, all those people there will be watching

44

me and literary giant, Zhuang Mohan, meeting each other?

45

I'm not telling you to surprise anyone with your views.

46

Just be stable and steady.

47

This will be enough.

48

Will you be going tomorrow night?

49

Tomorrow's banquet was arranged for Honglu Temple and the Rites Department.

50

As the Minister of Revenue, why would I go?

51

Don't panic. I will give you an advice.

52

With Zhuang Mohan's status,

53

how could it be possible for him to gave a junior like you a hard time?

54

Fan Xian will be there at tomorrow's night banquet.

55

Please tell Mr Zhuang to destroy his reputation.

56

You hung up the red lantern.

57

Uncle, after all these years,

58

I have always been curious. Can you really see or not?

59

I hung up the red lantern.

60

You even knew the color?

61

It's very hard for me to explain

62

how I know all these.

63

But I don't rely on sight.

64

You felt it?

65

I don't know what I should say,

66

Uncle, I have always thought you are mysterious.

67

Whoever dares to infuriate you, they are seeking death.

68

Sit, sit.

69

Let's get to the point.

70

His Majesty is hosting a banquet at Qi Hall tomorrow night.

71

Qi Hall?

72

What has this to do with Wang Qinian?

73

With who?

74

Wang Qinian.

75

Uncle, not only do I think you are mysterious,

76

Why has your mode of thinking been jumping lately?

77

Mode of thinking?

78

I think Qi Hall and Wang Qinian are not related to each other.

79

Okay then.

80

Let's get down to serious business.

81

Tomorrow's banquet is for the conclusion of the negotiation between Honglu Temple and Northern Qi.

82

It's also a grand event.

83

Are you not going to ask why I called you here?

84

If I don't ask, you won't talk?

85

You make sense.

86

Fine.

87

Let's trespass into inner palace after tomorrow's banquet.

88

You have decided?

89

Once the grand event is over, it's time to relax.

90

Okay, the plan won't change.

91

I will divert Hong Sixiang's attention. You enter Empress Dowager's bedchamber to find the key.

92

There's one last question.

93

I don't know where Empress Dowager kept her key.

94

Hence, I need time to search.

95

Under her pillows, beneath the bed, there's a concealed frame.

96

The important thing that you want, it's in there.

97

How do you know?

98

Mistress searched for it that year.

99

Why did my mother wanted to flip over the hidden frame of the Empress Dowager?

100

"That old lady has been a widow for a long time.

101

She looks serious and decent, but I wonder if she's secretly hiding romance novels."

102

This is what Mistress said then.

103

Just because she's interested in some "bagua" (gossip)

104

she searched the Empress Dowager's place?

105

Although I don't know what "bagua" means,

106

but you are right.

107

No one found out?

108

I was her look-out.

109

What are you laughing at?

110

I have no words to describe this.

111

Describe what?

112

Let's not bother about this first.

113

In any case, for the biggest problem,

114

my mother has already helped me to solve it that year.

115

As long as we can confirm where the key is now,

116

I have 80 to 90 percent success rate of getting it.

117

If you steal her key, I fear she will find out.

118

I will place a counterfeit key in there.

119

You haven't even seen the real thing. How can you do a counterfeit key first?

120

I have a solution for this.

121

Fine.

122

Wait here for me tomorrow night.

123

Someone seems to be here.

124

I made the appointment with that person.

125

You made the appointment?

126

- Lord.

- Come in.

127

You called me here late in the night. What are your instructions?

128

I have something to ask you.

129

Lord, please ask.

130

What has Qi Hall to do with you?

131

It has nothing to do with me.

132

This is correct then.

133

What...what do you mean?

134

Nothing.

135

Take a seat.

136

Lord, no need to be so hospitable. I will stand instead.

137

Lord, I heard you displayed your shocking power to the Northern Qi's diplomatic entourage at Honglu Temple.

138

And did a great feat for Southern Qing State.

139

I will join the banquet tomorrow night.

140

Lord is heroic and brilliant.

141

I'm always waiting for orders... is this money for me?

142

Yes.

143

Thank you, Lord.

144

Lord, when you next reward me, use banknotes instead.

145

They can be hidden.

146

I'm going to trespass into the inner palace after that.

147

Lord...

148

What did you say?

149

I said, I'm going to trespass into the inner palace.

150

And then, enter Empress Dowager's bedchamber to steal a key.

151

Of course, to avoid being discovered,

152

I'm going to leave a counterfeit key in there.

153

This is probably the plan.

154

You must be joking.

155

I'm not.

156

You are really going to do this?

157

Yes.

158

This is a death sentence.

159

Probably so.

160

Why are you telling me this?

161

I just said, I want a counterfeit key to be done.

162

Find the best locksmith in Jingdu.

163

I'm not familiar with Jingdu. I need to find someone with wide connections.

164

It's you.

165

If you get me involved in this,

166

it's also a death sentence for me.

167

You are merely helping me to find a locksmith to make a key.

168

You are not aware of anything else.

169

Yes. You can just publicly tell me to find a locksmith.

170

Isn't that so? Why must you tell me so much stuff?

171

I wanted to tell you just to make a key for me

172

but this won't do.

173

Wait outside the palace for me tomorrow.

174

Lord.

175

You are not afraid I will report you?

176

You trust me so much that you are placing your life in my hand?

177

Of course, I trust you. You are a smart person.

178

You should know,

179

helping me is just taking a small risk.

180

Harming me is a dead end.

181

Why do you say this?

182

You know how Chen Pingping treats me too.

183

Head treats you as his nephew.

184

Hence...

185

if I report you and harm your life,

186

Head will definitely slash me to death a thousand times.

187

I already said you are a smart person.

188

Why didn't you ask him to help you instead?

189

It's not convenient for certain tasks to be done by him.

190

What else can I say?

191

It's up to you.

192

I know a few good locksmiths.

193

Great. Tell him to wait for me tomorrow,

194

Fine.

195

Starting from today, your monthly salary will be increased by another ten taels.

196

This is a death sentence for a traitor.

197

You are only increasing my ten taels? Do you know how little this is...

198

- Don't want it?

- I do!

199

Give me banknotes next time.

200

What's the time now?

201

1 to 3 pm.

202

Is the arrangement done for Qi Hall?

203

Yes, we started the arrangement earlier for Qi Hall.

204

Find a place for me there.

205

But this is being done for the Rites Department and Honglu Temple.

206

It's not something that important.

207

Just do it.

208

Yes.

209

I can't wait any longer.

210

I've asked. Qi Hall will be open around you shi (5pm–7pm).

211

Your Highness, if you are eating and drinking now,

212

how will you be able to eat at the banquet?

213

It's just drinking and songs at this kind of banquet.

214

How will I be able to eat till I'm full?

215

That's right too.

216

Such banquets are mostly just for show.

217

Your Highness, you don't need to attend.

218

Fan Xian has completed the first task given to him,

219

I should congratulate him in person.

220

Didn't Fan Xian already joined Crown Prince's clique?

221

Who told you this?

222

If not, why would Crown Prince let him attend the negotiation with Northern Qi?

223

For someone like Fan Xian,

224

Crown Prince won't be convinced by him.

225

I haven't spent much time with Fan Xian,

226

but it's like meeting someone I already know well.

227

Fan Xian's personality is just like mine.

228

He isn't the type to serve someone else.

229

How long has the Crown Prince been standing there?

230

It's already been an hour.

231

He's afraid that he'll wrinkle his clothing.

232

What time is it?

233

Your Highness, it's you shi (about 5–7pm).

234

Let's head to Qi Hall.

235

Yes.

236

Mr Zhuang, the carriage is ready for us to set off.

237

I can carry your things for you.

238

Sir, I've arranged everything with the locksmith.

239

Great! Let's go drinking.

240

Master Fan!

241

Master Xin!

242

- What fate (to be meeting again)!

- We do seem to be fated to meet.

243

Master Fan, why aren't you in your official robes?

244

Isn't it just a meal? I'm not a senior official.

245

Great, I'll have to drink a few more toasts to you later.

246

Sirs, we're checking everyone.

247

If you have any weapons on you, you can't bring it into the hall.

248

Why would anyone bring any weapons here?

249

Master Fan, listen...

250

This music is prepared by the Ministry of Rites.

251

Do needles count? An iron needle, about this long.

252

You can't bring that in.

253

Hang on...

254

There's nothing left.

255

Master Xin, let's go.

256

I've encountered assassination attempts, so I've had to be more careful.

257

That's right, you should be more careful.

258

Can I bring poisons with me?

259

Poison?!

260

No, no you can't!

261

Fan Xian...

262

Your Highness.

263

What is going on here?

264

Don't touch that! I created that poison myself, but they won't let me take it in.

265

You really are Fei Jie's disciple.

266

Can it kill someone?

267

Of course!

268

- Give me a pouch!

- No way.

269

Why?

270

If something happened with the emperor or the Crown Prince,

271

how am I going to explain myself?

272

That's true. Forget it then.

273

Fan Xian, your contribution was significant this time.

274

You've got a good future ahead of you. Congratulations.

275

Thank you, Your Highness.

276

We should be in touch more. I can help you in court as well.

277

Thank you.

278

Greeting the Second Prince.

279

You're Wang from Hong Lu Si...

280

Xin.

281

Xin Qiwu.

282

I think you're in the Crown Prince's faction?

283

We're all subjects of the court. All subjects.

284

If you don't like being with the Crown Prince,

285

then come to my faction.

286

That should be it.

287

Okay, that's really it now.

288

Don't touch that.

289

There are quite a few poisons in there that even I don't have the antidote for.

290

Master Xin.

291

What are you thinking about?

292

Why did Second Prince come to this banquet?

293

Of course, it's to recruit talented people like yourself!

294

Master Fan, you're pulling my leg.

295

The Second Prince was trying to recruit you. Why would he recruit me?

296

Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is wise. I am truly loyal to the Crown Prince!

297

I will never change sides!

298

Your Highness, I can testify!

299

The Second Prince did try to recruit him just now

300

but Master Xin was loyal and did not respond!

301

That's right!

302

Thank you Master Fan for your honest words.

303

There's no need to be so polite with me.

304

Don't worry, the Crown Prince isn't that petty.

305

That's right.

306

Wait... Master Fan...

307

The Second Prince was clearly recruiting you.

308

Why are you now speaking up to clear my name?

309

It's all the same!

310

It's not the same!

311

The Grand Princess is here too.

312

You jerk, do you still dare to face me?

313

Who are you?

314

Ridiculous! You attacked me the other time!

315

And now you're pretending you don't know me?

316

Master Guo!

317

Long time no see... your injuries seem pretty much healed. That's great.

318

You actually forgot about me?!

319

Be careful... you sound like a resentful woman.

320

You evil jerk!

321

I remember everything that you've done!

322

That's even worse.

323

What are you doing here? What is he doing here?

324

I'm a scribe in the court,

325

my father is the Minister of Rites... why can't I be here?

326

You can, you can...

327

there's about to serve the dishes, let's go sit.

328

Fan Xian, I'm telling you...

329

Today, I'm going to see for myself

330

how your true colours are revealed, and your reputation torn to shreds!

331

Nonsense!

332

Father.

333

What sort of event is this?

334

Go sit down!

335

Yes.

336

My son behaved poorly.

337

I hope Master Fan will be forgiving.

338

Who are you?

339

This is the Minister of Rites, Guo Youzhi.

340

Oh, so you're the Minister!

341

Don't worry.

342

Your son is cute and mischievous. I'm not angry at all.

343

Okay, okay.

344

Stop looking around. This is where we're sitting.

345

Here, here... we sit here.

346

Come, sit.

347

Sit.

348

Master Fan! Sit, sit.

349

Master Fan,

350

Guo Baokun is also in the Crown Prince's faction.

351

I think the two of you should make up.

352

I don't have a problem, but look at him.

353

It'll all be resolved slowly.

354

Sir. Sir!

355

Did you really beat him up?

356

What are you talking about?

357

I've been reading books about morals since I was young, and I've always been obliging and polite.

358

How could I beat someone up?

359

You even killed a Northern Qi fighter in the street!

360

This wine is pretty good.

361

Right, right, it's not bad.

362

Lao Xin... there are two empty seats there.

363

Who are they for?

364

I think it's for two prominent figures from Dong Yi City and Northern Qi.

365

Northern Qi sent a scholar, Zhuang Mohan.

366

Who did Dong Yi City send?

367

Dong Yi City...

368

Yun Zhilan (Disciple of Grandmaster Si Gujian)

369

Master Fan, Master Fan, are you okay?

370

Why does this person bring his sword into the hall?

371

Every disciple of Si Gujian brings their sword with them wherever they go.

372

He has permission from His Majesty.

373

A disciple of Si Gujian?

374

He's the oldest disciple of the grandmaster Si Gujian. Yun Zhilan.

375

Yun Zhilan...

376

The two female assassins you killed in the street

377

are disciples of his.

378

This time, Dong Yi City sent a delegation here

379

because of that issue.

380

Does he sell liquor?

381

I've never heard of that.

382

Why do you ask?

383

His name sounds like a liquor.

(TN: Hai Zhi Lan, a Chinese baijiu)

384

Does it?

385

Master Fan, the Grand Princess is summoning you. She has things to say.

386

Come closer.

387

I've been waiting for you to come and kill me these past few days.

388

But why hasn't there been any movement?

389

Don't be impatient, Your Highness. There could be movement at any time.

390

If you swear to be loyal to me,

391

I can marry Wan'er to you.

392

I'll give you power over the Internal Treasury too.

393

And even more that you might want.

394

But what if I want you to be thrown out of the capital?

395

A grand wish! You must try it.

396

This subject will not disappoint the Princess' wish!

397

Fan Xian and Auntie seem to be chatting quite happily.

398

I wonder what they're talking about.

399

What does that have to do with me?

400

You would like to recruit Fan Xian to your side, right?

401

How about us making a bet?

402

Let's see who Fan Xian will support in the end.

403

What are we betting on?

404

Our lives?

405

It seems like my joke was improper.

406

Please punish me as you see fit.

407

Okay.

408

Zhuang Mohan is here.

409

You've never met Mr Zhuang, have you?

410

Maybe it's a gift from heaven,

411

that Northern Qi has such a renowned literary scholar.

412

He's been well-respected and established for many years.

413

In some ways, he's even more powerful than our emperor.

414

Carrying around literary traditions one's whole life.

415

Doesn't the old man find it heavy?

416

If scholars heard you,

417

they'd tell you off for not respecting the virtuous.

418

Why would I admit to saying that?

419

I've heard that some people have placed all their hopes on you.

420

I hope you can achieve the reputation of being a literary talent.

421

I don't suppose the Princess has such a wish.

422

All right, Mr Zhuang is here. The banquet is about to begin.

423

You should go back to your seat.

424

I'll take my leave.

425

I've given you a chance.

426

You were the one who rejected it.

427

The emperor has arrived!

428

This way, this way...

429

May the Emperor live for a thousand years!

430

Rise.

431

Thank you, Your Majesty!

432

The emperor has reached Qinian Hall.

433

All the palace maids, eunuchs and guards on shift today...

434

have you checked them all out?

435

Yes, they've been checked.

436

They're all in the clear. No one seems suspicious.

437

Has anyone acted suspiciously within the hall?

438

Yes. Fan Xian.

439

The guards reported that when he reached the hall,

440

he had a short blade and poisons on him.

441

What about Zhuang Mohan?

442

Zhuang Mohan just brought a scroll to the hall.

443

My people have found a chance to examine it. There's nothing hidden inside.

444

I don't think Zhuang Mohan is a fighter

445

so there shouldn't be any major problem.

446

Yun Zhilan brought his sword into the hall?

447

Yes.

448

But Yun Zhilan is a disciple of Si Gujian.

449

He shouldn't have any connected with Zhuang Mohan.

450

If Yun Zhilan were to draw his sword

451

and attack the emperor, who will be responsible?

452

Hong Sixiang, Eunuch Hong, is in the hall.

453

Serve the dishes!

454

Eunuch Hong, it's a night owl.

455

Master Guo!

456

Negotiation Officer Fan.

457

Master Fan, he's calling you!

458

Me?

459

Me? Calling me what?

460

You're the Tai Chang Temple's Negotiation Officer. That's your title!

461

Your Majesty.

462

You've never kneeled when you met me.

463

I thought you'd still remain standing this time.

464

Wouldn't I just be attracting the anger of the crowd then?

465

Seeing the look in your eye, you seem a bit nervous?

466

Your Majesty, this is such a big event.

467

It's hard not to feel nervous.

468

Yun Zhilan.

469

He was the one who killed your two disciples.

470

I know.

471

Don't be fooled by his age. He's pretty capable.

472

It only counts if he can kill me.

473

A disciple of Si Gujian is arrogant indeed!

474

I understand.

475

Fan Xian.

476

Hong Luo Si sent a report,

477

saying that you did your job well this time.

478

The war started with you and ended with you.

479

I don't want to shower you with praise in public.

480

Come, drink a cup with me.

481

Negotiation Officer Fan, please wait.

482

Your Majesty, I would like to say something.

483

Speak.

484

Apart from his courage in fighting, Fan Xian has many outstanding talents.

485

I am full of praise for poetry talent.

486

And now I hear that he has performed well in the talks with Northern Qi.

487

I think he will be of great use.

488

Get to the point!

489

Why not have Fan Xian organise the imperial exams in the spring?

490

It's recorded in history, that young gifted scholars advise students of the world.

491

Perhaps, it's just a much told tale.

492

Fan Xian has some reputation for his poetry,

493

but he's still short on experience.

494

Your Majesty

495

Although he's inexperienced, it's hard to hide his talent.

496

I support the suggestion to have him organise the exams in the spring.

497

What's going on?

498

There's still some time before the spring.

499

We can decide then. You two can return to your seats.

500

Your Majesty Is this young man Fan Xian?

501

Mr Zhuang, you know him too?

502

I've read his poem.

503

He's young, but he has some talent.

504

Mr Zhuang should give him more advice.

505

I am a subject of Northern Qi.

506

I won't say anything about politics in Southern Qing.

507

But the examinations in spring

508

is a major stepping stone for all scholars.

509

One should be careful in choice of organiser.

510

Mr Zhuang is right.

511

We should be very careful

512

when it comes to the matter of the spring examinations.

513

Mr Zhuang is an expert on the ancient classics.

514

I've always admired this.

515

But I cannot agree with what you've just said.

516

I'm just a woman,

517

and I don't have much knowledge, but I've read Fan Xian's poem.

518

He is very young,

519

but just based on this poem, we can see the talent that he has.

520

What you said just now seemed to be directed at Fan Xian.

521

Could you be worried that this young man

522

might become even more famous than you?

523

Everyone here is a loyal subject, and learned scholars.

524

Of course they don't like to quarrel.

525

I might not be knowledgable about the protocol,

526

but I am willing to speak up for our talent in Southern Qing.

527

Are you talking about that seven-line poem?

528

That's right.

529

Do you have any poem that is better than Fan Xian's?

530

Yunrui, don't be rude in the hall.

531

Mr Zhuang, a great person tolerates and forgives others.

532

Don't take these words to heart.

533

"Sharp wind, towering sky, apes howling mournfully;

534

untouched island, white sand, birds flying in circles.

535

Infinite forest, bleakly shedding leaf after leaf;

536

inexhaustible river, rolling on wave after wave.

537

Through a thousand miles of melancholy autumn, I travel;

538

carrying a hundred years of sickness, I climb to this terrace.

539

Hardship and bitter regret have frosted my temples--

540

and what torments me most? Giving up wine!"

541

This is a good poem.

542

I've written poetry all my life,

543

but not a single one can compare to this.

544

So you mean that you admit defeat?

545

The first four lines of this poem are very good.

546

But everyone says that

547

the most amazing part of this poem are the last four lines.

548

The last four lines are, of course, very well-written.

549

It's a pity.

550

Master Fan didn't write them.

551

You mean Fan Xian plagiarised this poem?

552

Yes.

553

I find it strange too...

554

How is he so talented?

555

Fan Xian

556

Do you have anything to say?

557

Mr Zhuang can say whatever he wants.

558

He is well-renowned,

559

even if he doesn't have any evidence, his words carry weight.

560

Your Majesty, I can be a witness.

561

Fan Xian wrote this poem at the gathering at Prince Jing's residence.

562

The court scribe Guo Baokun was there too. He can bear witness as well.

563

Is Guo Baokun here?

564

I'm here.

565

Did Fan Xian write this poem?

566

Yes.

567

In that case, Mr Zhuang is making false accusations.

568

Or perhaps he was lied to by some villain.

569

And that's why there was this misunderstanding.

570

It's a coincidence, really. The last four lines of this poem

571

were written by my teacher when he was travelling.

572

Actually, such good lines

573

should be known to the world.

574

But Master Fan has stolen someone else's work to gain credit.

575

This isn't right.

576

For a scholar, virtue is as important as talent.

577

The first four lines of this poem...

578

Master Fan has great talent,

579

and there's much to be praised.

580

So why did he have to get greedy

581

and steal other people's work

582

to build his reputation?

583

I've mulled over this again and again.

584

Wondering if I should bring this matter up.

585

But when I think about it carefully,

586

speaking the truth

587

is actually helping Master Fan to return to the right path.

588

If the truth doesn't come out, there's no benefit.

589

He can start to nurture his values again.

590

Master Fan...

591

I'm doing this out of care; there is no malicious intent.

592

I hope Master Fan will reflect.

593

Fan Xian, do you have anything to say?

594

Mr Zhuang, is your teacher's family name Du?

595

My teacher's family name isn't Du.

596

Then there's no problem.

597

Mr Zhuang has always had a reputation for respecting his teacher.

598

I don't think he will use his teacher's name to make things up.

599

But it's hard to tell what's in a person's heart.

600

Perhaps seeing a junior growing in fame and reputation

601

has led to him feeling unhappy, pushing him to make up accusations

602

to ruin someone's future.

603

Grand Princess Are you suspecting me of using my teacher's name

604

to level false accusations?

605

I wouldn't dare. But Southern Qing isn't like Northern Qi.

606

We care about the rule of law here.

607

If Sir would like to make an accusation

608

just your word isn't enough to be taken as evidence.

609

The Princess Royal is correct.

610

Please look. This was handwritten by my teacher back then.

611

Does this count as evidence?

612

It is indeed these 4 lines.
