[ Ming Dynasty ] EP13

Tell you a good news.

The emperor took the little brat's pass back.

He is discrowned like a cock.

Brother.

Did you give the orphans of the campaign of Jingnan to the brat back, right?

Brother.

You need to thank me for that.

The emperor is skeptical about you.

Otherwise, the little brat wouldn't come here so bluntly.

I really can't...

Brother.

How dare you stab me behind my back.

You such a traitor.

Come, I need some water.

If anyone of us dies, you can't afford it.

I need water.

Come, drink water.

Where are they?

I need to take them back.

No.

They are my amulet.

But brother.

I have to say.

You hide the orphans of the campaign of Jingnan from me.

And you invite such big trouble now.

And you invite such big trouble now.

I think you need to tell me the truth.

Some established families in Jiangnan region

donate the books published in Song dynasty,

I find some pirate books in them.

I think we need investigate it.

As I know, the established families in the Jiangnan region are so stingy.

They find some antique dealers

for the compilation of the Yongle Canon.

Woodblock printing technique of starry night.

The paper is old.

The dust chokes my eyes.

So ridiculous.

Where do you know this, your Majesty?

Am I right?

I am worried that you are overthinking.

Yongle Canon sounds great.

It's not going to a war.

All about the blood.

Then it will be so boring.

I didn't like the established families in the south.

During the campaign of Jingnan, they funded us.

So we need to kick their ass.

Imperial grandson.

The emperor is talking with the state preceptor.

You can't get in.

Out of my way.

Imperial grandson, you really can't go in.

Can you hear?

Imperial grandson.

Your good student.

He is your grandson.

He is quite tough.

Just come in.

Grandfather.

You can beat me or scold me.

Whatever you like.

But you can't do this to me.

Mind your language.

So rude.

I know.

Grandpa thinks I am so capricious.

But grandpa, I think you are so careless in finding Jianwen.

My dad told me.

In the campaign of Jingnan, you used the weapons that were built in the hogpen.

Then I realized.

You want to tell me,

The great fanfare won't result in the victory.

And acting a play has some underlying meaning.

I won't need a handout.

I will earn it by myself.

So glad to hear this.

You should learn from your father well.

I learn from him?

Of course.

Don't tell them, I gave you this.

Just say...

I win the money from gamble.

I win the money from gamble.

So smart.

Ok.

Tell him to give your second uncle's share.

He needs some support.

My uncle is so overbearing.

Only you give him support.

You are so childish.

I need to teach you something.

We give our shares.

So all the civil and military officials will sit around and do nothing?

They have been officials for so many years.

They have corrupted so much money.

They should donate more.

The second son is so impressive.

You should go back.

You can't break in again.

It's so rude.

Rules are rules.

I can't protect you if something happens.

Yes.

Miss Sun next door is under recovery.

She needs some air.

You should go for a walk with her.

Have a break.

What happened?

Nothing.

I have known you for so long.

But I have never seen you like this.

My grandpa took my pass back.

Without my remaining influence, they wouldn't allow me to draw near.

Now you are the apple of my grandfather's eye.

And I am a useless imperial grandson.

But you say I am a criminal.

So where will you go after you recover?

So you really plan to send me away?

Lord Huang, where is my father?

Where are they?

Don't worry.

They are arrested.

But I don't know who did it.

But I will find it out for you.

So you are into the spot?

If you want to work for the emperor, you will have a breathtaking life.

If I have a pass, I will be afraid of nothing.

My action will stand to reason.

But without the pass, I will be a loser with an empty title.

Grandpa shoots arrows in front of me with his back to me.

Just 10 zhang ahead of me, but I can't approach him.

All my fault. I was so eager to win the honor.

My father is the crown prince.

But he is so timid and not enterprising.

My grandpa is old now.

He doesn't tell others his own thoughts.

If my uncles prevail, my life will be in danger.

Before, I was busy all day long.

Actually, it's a wirewalking.

I shouldn't have got you involved.

But you did.

Our family is going to have earth-shaking changes.

You should leave as soon as you can.

I don't want to get you involved.

Besides, you will get me distracted if you stay.

I will be so restless.

Another twenty steps.

Ok.

Dad, is this ok?

Ok.

Ok.

Dad, it's so boring to aim at the target.

We have so many birds here.

The old monk disallows it.

Bravo.

He says it will break the natural law.

If I shoot at the birds, I have to leave here.

State preceptor is benevolent.

Brilliant.

It didn't pierce through the target.

Dad, sit.

Speaking of leaving,

I have something to say.

You can't live here forever.

You are our pillar.

You are tired from work?

No.

You never say you are tired after decades.

It's different.

I only do things I am familiar with.

I can't talk the bullshit with the local officials.

But the crown prince has the patience.

You always tell me you are better than him.

You can have a try.

No, dad.

I didn't say like that.

It's absolutely impossible.

You know my temper.

You are emulous. It's not bad.

If I have another 20 years, I will teach you about the state affair

after I suppress the hostile forces outside Shanhaiguan Pass.

Since you taught me a good lesson last time,

I have shown great respect to the crown prince.

I don't hope others think I want to take the throne.

I can risk my life on the battlefield.

I know nothing more than that.

Angry?

No.

I tried to find it out.

But I still have no clue.

I don't know if they are still alive.

You always say you are omnipotent.

I am not without the pass.

Now all the ministers know my second uncle is the regent.

So no one flatters me now.

It's so hard for me to inquire about anything.

The wine in the jug won't be the river.

Let alone hold a memorial ceremony for the innocent ghosts.

So I promise you,

I will make every effort to make up for the campaign of Jingnan.

But you need to promise me.

You need to live well.

For the continuation of Ming dynasty.

For those 30,000 men.

For yourself.

For yourself.

Where there is life, there is hope.

You should find them before you find Jianwen.

Anything else?

Then just go.

Father.

The crown prince donated 10,000 liang.

Actually, it's not so imperative for him to donate the money.

No one wants his bloody furniture.

He won't get 10,000 liang just by selling the couplets.

I am just a little concerned.

Concerned?

I am worried that the crown prince took the ministers' money.

It may ruin our reputation.

Where does the money come from?

You didn't ask him?

Scholar Xie often goes to see him.

He thinks himself as the crown prince's clique due to your favor.

So I can't say anything.

The crown prince knows we can't make contact with the ministers.

But he is still very close to them.

Dad, you need to remind him if possible.

He has the noble status.

He doesn't need to hook up with them.

What about your youngest brother?

He...

I really don't know him.

He still doesn't find your assassins.

He is mysterious all day long.

I don't know what he is doing every day.

He can do nothing.

You need to teach him on my behalf.

Sometimes my ability really dwarfs my hope.

I can't do everything in person.

You are robust like a tiger.

We are going to send congratulations to consort Piao in one day or two.

Go.

I am so sick of seeing you.

Go.

Imperial grandson.

Prince Zhao arrested them.

Sister, are you in there?

The doctor wants to take your pulse to see if you are pregnant.

Sister.

Sister.

Sister.

Sister.

Guards.

Anyone breathing here?

Your Highness.

Where is she?

She.

She went out for a walk.

She doesn't allow us to go with her.

Go find her.

Yes.

What's wrong?

Sister.

Where have you been?

I do nothing but eat and sleep every day.

Like a pig.

So I need some air.

Where do you want to go?

The doctor is here to take your pulse.

Another day, I'm tired.

Then I'll come tomorrow.

You are tired.

You need to take more rest.

Why are you like a bird every time I see you?

It's epiphany on wirewalking.

Do you have a teacher?

I am the 6th generation.

My teacher taught me wirewalking since childhood.

I can teach you if you like.

I dare not.

I can walk above the cliffs with turning a hair.

I can go down to the valley of a thousand zhang.

Don't trust his nonsense.

Here is the temple.

Kowtow to Buddha if necessary.

No red tape.

He promised you to take a walk, right?

So you just come back from the walk?

He said he had something urgent to do.

What urgent matter can he have?

He said he wanted to relieve your anxiety.

So it's the urgent matter.

Come with me.

Where did you go?

Mei mountain?

Do you like there?

He said he would remove the thorn for the dynasty.

So you could be relieved.

Useless.

I don't like living in the palace.

I've heard crying for so many years.

He hopes you could feel relieved.

How?

I said, no red tape.

You have said, you can give any reward.

All the 30,000 people and I want to be written into Yongle Canon.

We want to resolve grievances and clarify ourselves.

So the country will be peaceful and stable.

You can tell Lady Hu whatever you want to eat.

You know how many people are waiting for your good news?

The emperor is so old now.

The emperor is so old now.

If he can have a prince or a princess, it will be so great.

After you are pregnant, you will move to

the palace with front and back yards.

And you will have the best maids and eunuchs.

Stand up.

Stand up.

I never promise in my life.

Miss.

If you can take Jianwen to me,

we are even.

All 30,000 people can come to the capital as they want.

I swear to god.

Have you understood?

It's useless even if I can understand.

You need to tell this to your grandson.

You tell him to come here.

He says he can't come here without your pass.

The little brat.

I'm kidding him.

He takes it seriously.

Go.

Are you injured?

I am sorry for my men's rudeness.

Imperial grandson.

You are so ridiculous.

Why do you do this?

I am an important official.

Why do you do this? -Enough.

Mr. Huang Fu.

Stop making jokes.

I have no patience for the chatting.

I have an introduction for you.

Mr. Huang Fu

I see.

See what?

I knew the girl was untrustworthy.

I was too soft-hearted at that time.

You know.

Prince Han is sire.

You still play chess with the emperor with our lives.

Mr. Huang Fu

Because you want to save your official position.

Or for other purposes?

What I do is out of your comprehension.

I knew someone wanted to push us to the fire pit since the assassination.

But I never thought it was you.

Mr. Huang Fu.

You won't get benefits from my second uncle.

I think we should talk about cooperation.

I think we should talk about cooperation.

I am trustworthy.

Imperial grandson.

So you think I believe you?

You think I will forget to avenge parents like her?

Then you see me wrong.

You see me wrong.

After I was injured by the arrow, I lived in Jiming Temple.

I heard a lot of interesting things.

Do you want to hear?

Duck down.

Stay still.

Stay still.

You have some associates.

Five.

Two are dressed as merchants.

They find a craftsman to make crossbows.

Associates brought the things in.

When you talk to the emperor, eyes on the ground.

No one coordinates with you in the palace?

I don't believe it.

Come clean.

I can spare your life.

Put him into the imperial prison for half a year.

Then he will tell us anything.

I will leave it to you.

Find all the people out.

Yes.

I am sick of the blood, take him away.

Do you think it's him?

I have asked them.

I know my second brother is ambitious.

But I don't think he will collide with people of Aden.

What's the relationship between him

and the orphans of the campaign of Jingnan.

He didn't utter a single word about it.

I dare not ask too much.

He has been hunting the eagles for a lifetime.

Now he really becomes blind for it.

I don't think he is enterprising.

Someone named Huang Fu is his hand.

I have investigated his background.

Huang Fu is not his name.

It's all fake either name or the seniority.

I think he is the liaison officer between my second brother and the orphans.

Recently Huang Fu ruined it.

I can arrest him and interrogate him if you like.

So I will be scared after what you said?

I never thought like that.

Mr. Huang Fu.

Except for my father, I respect you most in the world.

But I really didn't expect you would sacrifice our lives

for your official career.

You keep asking if we forget to avenge our parents.

I want to ask you the same question.

You are not qualified to ask me.

Self conceited.

So ridiculous.

Allow me to be straight.

I want them alive.

But you need to act a play with me.

Don't shake your head so soon.

You will accept my offer.

Lady, long time no see.

I still have some pearl powder, Zheng, He brought back from southeast Asia.

Come and fetch it if you have the time.

Come and fetch it if you have the time.

Thank you, princess.

You...

As I know, she is going to be pregnant.

So we plan to send the congratulations.

We can't be left behind.

Prince is the regent now.

So he has no time.

Prince III is so lame at investigating a case.

So two of us have to come.

If she is pregnant, it's so rare to see a baby uncle.

I think it's so rare to see such a young mother.

I'll go with you.

We don't want to give consort Piao or the emperor a bad impression.

What's the crown princess' opinion?

She is helping the crown prince sell the furniture.

I take care of consort Piao's diet and daily life.

Before we are sure that the consort is pregnant,

we can't be careful enough.

we can't be careful enough.

The crown princess won't go to see her before that.

The crown princess won't go to see her before that.

So we need to act according to rules.

If she is really pregnant, you will be the first to know.

So, in your view, is she pregnant?

What are you eavesdropping?

The food will get cold.

If she is uncomfortable, I will pierce through your heart.

Go.

So ridiculous.

You know what the rich boy won't be exposed under the eaves means?

Dare to give them the cold dishes.

So ridiculous.

Don't think the emperor is in Jiming Temple and can't see this.

I won't allow you to misbehave.

Ok, I got it.

We won't go now.

But I have to say one thing.

You are the palace's Lady.

Not the crown princess'.

You need to tell us everything.

You can't speak something evil in front of the emperor.

Why are you like a crab?

I have walked so far.

And you don't allow me to put it on the ground.

Next time I will hold it over my head like concubine An.

Nonsense.

You dare to kid with your master.

You dare to kid with your master.

You will be punished if I hear this again.

Aunt, Aunt.

I am here to present tribute.

This time we change the technician.

But you need to keep a close eye on it for me.

No air blisters in the cannons.

Otherwise, you will pay the price.

Yes.

Prince.

Mr. Huang Fu is waiting for you outside.

Prince.

We have found them.

But things get more complicated.

I don't know if you want to listen.

Give me a name.

Give me a name.

You can't sleep.

You can't sleep.

Think about it.

Is it prince Han?

Give me a name.

Who?

I have told you.

No one can come in.

Brother.

What are you doing here?

It's too dirty.

Go.

Go have some tea.

I want to ask him.

Did he confess?

He should see me clearly before you force him

to say I am the mole in the palace.

You need to make the show perfect.

Impossible.

Brother.

You are the regent, you should handle the state affair.

And for the trifles, you should leave them to me.

And for the trifles, you should leave them to me.

The emperor's assassination is the trifle?

Brother.

You are amazing.

We all work for dad.

Of course.

Brother.

Come.

Come.

We are even now.

Don't blame me.

You did it to me first.

You want to kiss dad's ass.

You're so ignorant.

Brother.

People all know I am on your side.

You get me wrong.

I need my criminals back.

I am giving you a chance.

If you want to be my enemy, you will see.

Who are you talking about?

Don't forget.

Still breathing.

You are Jianwen's crony.

You know where Jianwen is.

As I know, the emperor told Zheng He to find him overseas.

I'll let them skin you now.

So everyone will be happy.

All the initiators will pay the price for what they have done.

If you are not afraid of being skinned, suit yourself.

I can double my second brother's offer.

Want to be an official?

The prince's recommendation is tantalizing.

Prince.

Do you remember the first time we met?

Yes.

You lied to me.

You said you were sent by the emperor.

You think I believed it?

I just want to see how much you cooperate with the imperial grandson.

How do you know it's a lie?

Bring your skinning device.

I want to see.

This is the oral decree.

Prince Zhao goes to see the emperor with the imperial criminals.

Take the criminals down.

Come down.

Nephew.

Uncle.

If you really have nothing to do, I will find you an official position.

You idle around here.

And can't see the emperor.

You don't find it boring?

Uncle.

The emperor's oral decree.

His Majesty.

He is fine.

Here is the oral decree.

The criminals.

Xu Bin, Nie Xing and Sun Yu

goes to see the emperor.

Prince Zhao needs to wait outside.

I'm waiting outside?

I brought them here.

I can't release them until I see the emperor.

You are so irritable.

I didn't finish the oral decree.

Say it.

Prince Zhao needs to wait outside.

Someone as stupid as he wants to see him.

They need to discuss how to deceive the emperor.

Take them away.
