Crown prince.

Actually, last night you just need to brandish.

Problem-solved

Brother.

How can I do that?

It's so inhumane.

Besides, you also see it.

Father was in a fit of anger.

If I had brandished, I would be so guilty for the rest of my life.

Enough.

Enough.

Anyway.

You will be the crown prince in the future.

Father keeps saying.

The crown prince is valetudinarian.

You should encourage him.

I am so sick of it.

Stop talking this.

If father tells me to go to my fief,

go to Yunnan,

I will be so far away from him.

I don't know if our brothers could see each other again.

Crown prince.

If you really see me as your brother,

please help me implore him after we enter.

I will give you as many gold beans as I can.

I am Sun Yu, my family runs the antique shop for generations.

It's more like it right?

When can we go?

You should leave tomorrow morning after today's transition.

You can't delay the time.

Someone will ask you questions after you go back.

Where are you going?

Go ask him.

He can save the brothers from imperial guards.

I'll kill him now.

Stop.

Stop.

Father.

People say the officials are so depressed.

But now we are the depressed rebels.

Hear me out.

Ruowei.

Let me go.

Don't be a troublemaker, father.

Mr. Huangfu.

Mr. Huangfu.

I can hear your shouting from afar.

What's the problem?

A silly girl did something wrong.

Now she is angry with herself.

Let her speak.

Who ordered us to assassinate the imperial guards?

This is so ridiculous.

I object.

Now I have to leave without a good reason.

We don't save the brothers in the imperial prison.

But we are scheming ourselves.

I can't understand this.

Ridiculous.

After the assassination, the imperial guards

are arresting people in the whole city.

If we kill another imperial guard now,

we will put our neck into the noose.

You are scared?

Go ask our brothers.

Who is afraid of death?

I'm not afraid, either.

We just don't want to die without a good reason.

Mr. Huangfu.

Give me more time.

I'll rescue the brothers.

Just you?

Li Wenhe escorts them as the emissary with some men.

You need to decide the reception matters and etiquette procedures.

I draw up a scenario for you.

The surname?

Piao.

The consubines for the emperor.

So flattering.

I heard he sends the gift to prince II and prince III every time.

Crown prince works under the emperor's nose every day

But he sends nothing.

You are so considerate for the emperor.

So after imperial concubine Piao arrives,

can imperial concubine An comes to welcome her?

She was sent in the seventh year of Yongle.

Which one?

The emissary is here.

Where will you see him?

At Fengyi garret.

Emperor of Ming dynasty comes back triumphantly.

So the people could be saved from the upheaval.

To celebrate the triumph, princess royal Yingning

will be the emperor's concubine.

I will go to prepare the banquet.

I will leave you be.

Let me have a look.

How old are you?

16

Whose daughter?

Imperial concubine Quan.

I hope you will die before me.

Because I am so lonely here.

Jianwen.

The bastard.

He was instigated by Huang Zicheng and Qitai

to dethrone the seigniors.

They imprisoned family seignior Zhou in the capital.

And they dethroned seignior Dai.

And even detained seignior Qi.

They killed seignior Xiang and reallocated the army to the capital.

And they had me monitored.

They were afraid that I would rebel.

I took the throne after I ate pig dung for years in the pigpen.

Now in front of everyone,

tell me,

When did I say the crown prince is weak, we need to encourage him?

Answer me.

You didn't say it.

I can't hear you.

The emperor didn't say it.

It's my nonsense.

Slap in your face.

Father.

Father...

I

Father.

Sit down.

I dare not.

Sit down.

The crown prince is settled.

So we can settle the people.

Today you should be the witness.

If people dare to say in my family

the father is not benevolent, the sons are not filial

I will have them beheaded.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Enough, I'm thirsty.

It's not bad right?

Hurry up.

Call the old monk here.

I want to play chess.

Ok.

Wait.

I almost forgot it.

What reward do you want?

Reward me?

Your poem is well written.

You did me a big favor.

What do you want?

I will satisfy you.

I am doing what I should.

I

Tell me.

Now or never.

Grandfather.

As I know, you are preparing for my wedding.

Can I make the decision?

Who do you want?

No one.

I just don't want to marry the young lady of note.

Tell me.

We have no common interests.

We can't be the playmates either.

I don't understand, how can you tolerate it?

You are making fun of me now.

No...

No.

Ok.

After we take the throne firmly, we can marry anyone we want.

Don't give me a seductive woman.

Ok, you can decide it.

You need to ask for my approval first.

Yes.

We can't do all the things alone.

We should go now.

What about Nie Xing?

And those who are imprisoned.

No one will save them?

Easy for you to say.

They have to die.

How can you do this?

It happens a lot.

Girl.

Back then, we fought on the frontier with the general.

We fought hard with the enemy.

So many people died and got injured in the battle.

When the enemy withdrew, we chased them for half a year.

so we had no time to bury the corpses.

After we went back, the people told us the local ravens...

didn't leave for 3 months.

Yes.

All the corpses became skeletons.

Who cared about it?

In troubled times, our life is not a big deal.

Go.

It's different.

If Nie Xing and others die like this, it's not worthwhile.

You.

Not worthwhile.

I won't go.

You don't go, so they will be saved out?

So stupid.

Who will believe you?

You won't make great achievements because of a love affair.

Go.

I have no love affairs.

What's my revenge?

What did Mr. Huangfu tell you?

Just you?

You are alone and have no connections.

You think you can save them from prison.

Such a daydream.

My men, move her and the boxes away.

Yes.

Your Grace.

What can I do for you?

It's for you.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

My father wants me to visit my relatives.

Why do you take so many luggage to visit relatives?

Rich people like you just need to make some money.

We need to take enough food and clothes for the whole year.

Yes.

What about them?

They.

All the workers.

All the workers of our shop.

You didn't see them last time?

How about you?

Me?

What?

Must go?

Where can I go?

I have nothing to do anyway.

I have a good place for you.

Would you like to come with me?

Si.

Give your horse to her.

Miss, this is a sturdy horse.

It's a good horse for you to ride.

Daughter.

Daughter.

Daughter.

Mr. Sun.

I am sorry.

Good bye.

Good bye.

Daughter, don't go, come back.

Come back.

Come back.

Father.

You should go to visit relatives without me.

You.

Tell uncle.

Yangtze River water is going backwards.

Come back.

Charge.

Come.

Brilliant, brother.

Back then, we attacked Jinan.

We suffered heavy casualties.

Tiexuan in Jinan city is such a man.

He safeguarded the gate and didn't come out.

The court's army surrounded us to Yellow River.

Such a scuffle.

But he denied now.

It's not the first time for him to break his promise.

Why so angry?

So bloody anxious.

It's different.

What's the difference?

He forced me to claim the fief in Yunnan.

If I go, I will be so far away from the emperor.

All the cabinet guys are his men.

If the emperor dies, the crown prince will take the throne.

I will have nothing.

So anxious

Brother.

If I were the emperor, I would share the country with you.

I talked about emperor Li Shiming in Tang dynasty

and Xuanwu Gate Incident with eldest brother.

It inspired me.

Emperor Li Shiming is the emperor Qin.

He went to see the emperor with the crown prince's head.

And the world changed.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother, listen to me

I have two battalions on purple mountain.

They fought hard with me.

The palace guards and imperial guards will be under your control.

You can cooperate with me from inside.

We can turn it upside down.

Father can loot the world.

So can we.

These are big bows of 8 dan.

You can't do it.

You still can't change anything after you look at it.

You can do it?

Me?

Tell you the truth.

I could draw the bow when I was 15.

Previously I went on the expedition with my grandpa.

The cavalry in Alutai is extremely fierce.

They shoot chain arrows.

The arrows can be in the range of 10 Zhang in an instant.

And the dorlach is empty.

So I shoot back.

Without frowning.

So heroic.

Show me.

Ok.

Today lucky you.

Bullseye within ten shoots.

The wine for free.

Bingo.

Great.

Prepare my wine.

Yes.

You can have a try.

Ok.

Let me pick you a bow.

This one, 2 dan.

The arrow should touch the string.

Waist up.

Hands, relax.

You will break the bow with brute force.

I just shoot for fun.

I don't plan to be an imperial guard.

The imperial guards are all men.

If you can hit the bull's-eye,

I will invite you drinks.

Invite me drinks, why?

Don't look at me, see the target.

Bingo.

Did I hit it?

Did I?

There.

Thank her for not killing you.

The imperial guards on shift will sleep in the two side rooms.

When we have the serious criminals,

they will take the criminal into the prison.

This is the torture & detention room.

We have the interrogation and torture here.

Stay close.

Your Grace.

Stay away from me.

We just see around.

Left, right.

Left.

Your Grace.

Left, right.

Left, right.

Left.

Gordon.

Stop.

It's your first time to see foreigners, right?

He is like a cat.

Cat?

I'm not like a cat.

I am like a tiger, ok?

He can speak Chinese.

Alright, Gordon

I will drink with you another day.

Go.

Don't underestimate Gordon

Now he is the general.

He works for us.

Scared me.

Left right.

They are from southern europe.

They do seaborne trade.

My grandpa saw them drying goods on Macau island.

My grandpa saw they were so good at firearms.

Firearms are better than crossbows.

So we hire them to teach our soldiers about the blunderbuss.

After we have the blunderbuss army,

we won't be afraid of the enemy's cavalry.

Left, right.

Left.

Have you ever heard of Tianlao?

Right.

Stop.

Turn back.

No.

This is the prison No. 1 in the legend.

Whether you are a robber or a rebel,

you will confess anything after you are locked here

for three days without any torture.

You have fairies or monsters in there?

No.

But it smells bad inside.

Still want to go in?

Right?

You are the master, I am the guest.

I'll listen to you.

Open the door.

Stop.

Turn back.

Left, right.

Left, right.

Left, right.

Come up.

Why?

Jump into the well?

Tianzi cell No. 1 has its secret.

Pull it up.

Do you dare to go down there with me?

Why not?

You dare, huh?

I don't know it would be so deep.

Come out.

Need a hand?

Come.

Gosh.

What is this?

Don't be afraid

They are not monsters.

People locked Tianzi cell are those

who won't die even if they are buried in the soil.

But when they are starved for three days and nights here,

you will give in with the screaming here.

Ok.

I feel terrible.

I want to go.

What are you doing?

Tell me about the key.

Why do you have the imperial prison's key?

I have told you.

I picked it up.

All the people are afraid of imperial guards.

But you even push in.

Who assassinated me in the tavern?

How did you write the poem?

Why are you here in the capital?

Huang.

Am I your criminal?

I am so muddle-headed.

I won't be at a loss when I see beauty.

Tell me.

What's the relationship between you and the emperor's assassin.

You should cooperate with me, otherwise...

I will kill you easily.

I have said,

I don't know who they are.

I do not know anything.

All I know is that I am here to find my father.

I give you some days.

You should think about it here.

I will wait for your answer.

Huang.

Get down here.

Get down here.

Get down here.

Come.

You need the drink the wine up nonstop.

I don't want to drink it.

You need to be docile in front of the emperor.

You need to learn the etiquette.

Aunt.

I will do it.

Now you leave the hometown and parents.

Best wishes to your father.

I hope you will win the emperor's favor.

Best wishes to all the countries, including your hometown.

Do you know what mistake you made?

Yes.

I spit into the wine.

I can't tolerate it.

Actually you spit on my face.

I got it.

In my life, I just hope you would give me a title.

You know where you are from?

I.

was born from the ground.

And you took me back.

Nephew.

My good nephew.

Where are you going?

Your uncle is here to get even with you.

You are such a bad emperor.

I feel so ashamed for you.

Father.

You are not dead?

You are still alive.

Father.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Let me go.

Go.

On your knees.

Son.

Son.

Save me.

Son. -Mother.

Help me.

Mother.

Help me.

Mother.

Stand up.

Son. -Mother.

Help me.

Son. -Mother.

Father.

Father.

Have mercy.

Have mercy.

A nightmare.

Nightmare again.

Can you chant sutras at my bedside?

Then I will feel better.

Of course.

It's also ok that a thousand people chant sutras for you.

But the thing is after you close your eyes, can you still hear it?

Even if you are the most influential,

you think you will have no dreams?

And see no ghosts after you die?

I have no time for your old monk's meditation.

I dreamed of my mother.

She was fettered.

Jianwen was laughing at me under my father's feet.

My father would behead me if I didn't wake up.

So poor.

You think Jianwen died for real?

Otherwise, I wouldn't dream of my father.

As I know, he's not dead

He is by the water

Big water

Great water.

Great water.

By Yellow River or by Huai River?

Where is he?

You know where he is.

But you don't want to tell me.
