[ Ming Dynasty ] EP16

Father.

I know you have pity for me.

But I have the responsibility.

I can't forget it.

You can't stop me.

Ok.

We are in this together.

If we die without saving them, we try our best, at least.

I'll go to say goodbye to him.

Do you think she changed?

People who have died once will change.

I didn't plan to take her to the capital.

People are prepared for any eventualities when they are literate.

But she is destined to meet eventualities before she is literate.

What happened?

You will miss me, so you are here to say goodbye to me.

If we succeed, I am afraid we won't see each other again.

So I am here to bid you a farewell.

Won't see each other.

The emperor has pardoned you right?

You can support your father in the capital.

I can help you restore your residence in childhood.

As a reward.

Brilliant.

You talk like an emperor.

Mind your language.

To be honest.

If your friend beheads me today, this is the last time we see each other.

You are worried now.

So you still go there?

I promised my grandfather.

Just like you promised me.

After you succeed, you will stay in the capital.

Till one day that you become the emperor?

After you succeed, we are even no matter what happened.

We can have a talk in the future.

When will the orphans be pardoned?

What announcement should we make?

With what excuse?

We need to discuss all.

If you want to solve all these, you can't run away.

Otherwise, I can't be of any help, even if I go.

I know.

You should be careful.

The man named Xu in monastery.

Is he going to kill people?

He told me...

You had a fight again.

It's surprise attack.

Don't listen to him.

You are invincible.

No.1 in swordplay.

Why do you compete with a rebel?

What if I fight with him for you?

Rude.

Whatever you say.

Please don't forget what you have promised me.

What promise?

I don't want to stay in the capital.

I'll leave after we succeed.

Where?

With whom?

None of your concern.

I know this from my childhood.

Those who came back from the sea said.

There were so many strange things outside the sea.

One day I will be with brother Xu Bin on a boat.

Stop-and-go.

We will live like this. Wouldn't it be great?

So what's the difference?

The rebel is the rebel after all.

Imperial grandson is imperial grandson.

Of course it's different.

Great.

You can go anywhere.

But help me forget you before you leave.

Otherwise, you can't go anywhere.

Wish you young forever.

And a life long.

And a life long.

Come.

This is your new Song poem.

This is what I told them.

Do you like it?

Sisters.

Thank you, Lady Hu.

A little money. Thank you, Lady Hu.

My little gifts.

Not costly.

The crown princess said.

The crown princess said.

I'm a little official.

If you are not pleased with me, you can hit me or scold me as you like.

But I need your support in public.

Thank you all.

You are welcome.

I think they are thinking, I am the villain holding away.

You have forgotten how you scolded others?

Come...

Wish Lady Hu young forever.

And a long life.

Today all of you are here.

Thank you for your support.

Come, bottom up.

You have a bright future.

We will call you sister.

Come...

Take it...

Take it.

Thank you, sister.

Help yourself.

These eunuchs are still acting a role.

They are not here to propose a toast.

They are not here to propose a toast.

Go make fun of them.

You think I dare not?

Go.

Come...

Eat...

Forget it.

What are you afraid of?

The crown princess will back you up.

They won't cause you a dilemma.

They won't cause you a dilemma.

You have your own room.

Maybe tonight you should find a beautiful one to spend time with.

It's you.

You are so rich.

No.

The director of laundry department gives you this.

Younger sister.

You really think we can't make money?

Now you are no inferior to your aunt.

They are so eager to kiss your ass.

I am happy to work for you in the future.

You come here alone.

I am so flattered.

You are the deputy Lady now.

I need your help in the future.

I am flattered.

Cheers.

The crown princess likes you.

You will have a bright future.

You can reward people with this.

As I know, at least my imperial meal department can give you enough food.

To be honest, we can eat what the emperor eats.

We can also eat what he can't.

5000.

So little.

The imperial meal department is a cushy job.

So stingy.

5000, you think it's little?

So 10,000 liang will be a big sum.

20,000 liang?

Hu Shanxiang.

Who?

Imperial concubine.

Why are you here, your Highness?

You are an official now.

Congratulations.

I am flattered.

Rise.

Come.

Tell me.

Why do you become an official?

It's the crown princess' appointment.

Listen.

The ignorant servant takes advantage of the master to get promoted.

The crown princess is here.

The crown princess is here.

Imperial concubine An, you are here.

Yeah.

I'm afraid my younger sister will be lost again.

So I am here to wait for Lady Hu to give me the medicine.

I don't want to be so annoying.

Since you are here, I need some wine.

You drank a lot right?

Otherwise, you won't talk so much nonsense.

Now consort Piao is back.

If the emperor doesn't come back to you,

I am afraid no one will care about you anymore.

We will need their help in the future if we go.

A little will be very different.

In the future, you will know how it feels to be on the top alone.

Have a good appetite.

Your Highness.

Thank you, your Highness.

All Dharmas are marked with emptiness.

They are neither produced nor destroyed.

Neither defiled nor immaculate.

Neither increasing nor decreasing.

Guess what I have dreamt of.

Even my chanting can't stop you from having nightmares now?

You dreamt that you killed him.

Nothing strange.

How do you know?

When you want to kill people, Buddha, there moves.

Buddha told me.

Lie.

What should I tell my nephew when I see him?

I can't say...

I'm wrong.

You should come back to be the emperor.

What a joke!

Why bother to meet him if you think like this?

It's said.

The spirit will be conscious of the heart.

Without remorse, you can't deceive others even if you go.

Taizu of Ming is not so gullible.

I am not either.

Occasionally I think...

The dead people are safer.

He is younger than me.

If one day I die, what will he tell others?

Can't I argue with him from the graveyard, right?

What if he doesn't accept?

(From an ancient poem)

The rough meaning: everything is changing with time.

You need to have a good talk.

This is how the world runs.

Just talk about the old days.

So don't change your original intention.

Do not change the original intention?

I can't.

I am an unscrupulous man.

Your Majesty.

Is he here?

Yes, on the ninth floor.

3 people altogether.

Two of them have swords.

The one in the middle has no weapons.

Cover himself with a bamboo hat.

Have you cleaned all the fifth wheels?

Yes, we did it five days ago.

It's boring to drink alone.

Who can drink with me?

They need to monitor you.

So they won't.

Even if I am the imperial grandson?

Who do you think they are?

One is General Lanyu's descendant.

Lantian.

His clan was exterminated.

One is imperial hostler's descendant.

They two are defender Tiexuan's descendants in Jinan.

If the dynasty hadn't changed, they would have been the generals.

Then I am afraid you need to kiss their ass.

What's the point of saying these?

If the dynasty hadn't changed, Jianwen would have killed my family.

Family Zhu fights for the world.

You go after with your life, why?

For integrity?

Just for the rewards and official ranks.

If you stand on our side, you will be the officials.

Yes.

You really think so?

It's useless to think.

After tonight, you will forget us.

Great.

Great.

Who are you?

I...

I am procurator Jingqing's descendant.

I am here to tell you about the emperor's message.

Jingqing's kid?

Correct.

Let her come over.

No red tape.

I am not an emperor.

I am just a monk.

Your Majesty.

Why are you dressed up like the monk?

Nothing strange.

I used to dress like an emperor.

God granted monarchical power.

The empire will last long.

What does it mean?

This is the imperial seal.

Emperor Zulong overthrew dynasty Zhao and obtained the jade of family He.

And he had the jade carved to pass on to the offspring,

And he had the jade carved to pass on to the offspring,

from generation to generation.

See the deformity.

Someone repaired it.

The official Wang Mang coerced the last emperor of Han dynasty Liu Ying

to give out the jade seal.

The queen threw it on the ground furiously.

I didn't find it, no matter how hard I tried.

Yeah, he took it.

Did he bring the jade seal?

Come back.

Ask him this in the end.

I don't have much time.

Ask him where he lives.

I want to submit a memorial.

And I want to confer him with the title of imperial father.

I hope he will like it.

I tried so hard to escape from there.

You think I want to go back there so easily?

The emperor said...

He feels guilty.

I want to give him the title to stop the rumors.

I haven't been lazy for a day after all these years.

It's quite peaceful outside the Great Wall.

I hope he can come to the ancestral temple.

He said...

He is a monk.

So he is homeless.

He has no ancestors to offer sacrifices to.

Well, he abandons his ancestors?

Go ask him.

If I tell you, don't blame me.

What did he say?

He said...

He doesn't need the title.

Let alone go to any palace.

And he doesn't need a secular name.

There is no difference between living in the palace

and living in the mountain.

There is no difference between surname Zhu and surname Wang.

Both are human beings.

Please don't worry about what will happen after you die.

As long as you can benefit the people,

it doesn't matter that you hurt him.

Well said.

Open it.

Yes.

So.

He will give me the jade seal?

I think emperor Jianwen wants to rest you assured.

He said...

He is a monk now.

This time he wouldn't come if it's not because of the orphans.

He hopes you can benefit the people and forget all the past.

Tell me to be the emperor peacefully.

I'm afraid not.

I often have nightmares.

My father scolds me for my rebellion.

And tries to behead me with a sword.

Sometimes I wake up with tears.

I am startled.

And I am not sure if I am in a dream.

I hope you can accept my offer.

But I need to take the jade seal back.

Go ask him.

Emperor Jianwen said just now.

If you want to return the seal, he wants to tell you...

He says the jade seal can decide all the people's life.

But the one who has it can't decide his own life.

So weird, right?

Yes.

It's useless.

He says if he accepts your offer, you really will feel relieved?

As long as you regret the past and make some remedy,

the nightmares will go away naturally.

He also says if you don't like the answer,

you can throw the seal into the sea.

It will disappear right away.

I still have questions.

Your question.

Or my uncle's question.

My question.

Please say it.

My parents died when I was little.

Someone taught me to avenge them since childhood.

I swore.

I swore.

If I survive, I will be a sharp weapon.

To help the orphans to go back home safely.

Then all the hatred will vanish.

But what should we do after that?

What should I live on?

Good girl.

Will no one take care of you?

I have.

I don't know how to...

Reward them.

I feel something piercing through my heart at the very thought of them.

It hurts a lot.

You take hatred as food.

My uncle take fear as food.

You are antsy equally.

You should believe you won't die because you are compassionate.

And good luck is waiting for you.

But I can't see what will come.

Tell me about my uncle.

Your Majesty.

He said.

If you are proficient in Dharma, do you know what he will be in the afterlife?

I will answer the two questions together.

My uncle asked me why I returned the seal to him.

That's because I don't need it anymore.

I don't need anything to resist fear.

I have the mindset of contentment.

I can live happily in all situations.

I can be the emperor or the monk.

It's no difference for me.

This is my homework of life.

As for the afterlife.

How can we predict the afterlife?

If you think you fail in this life,

what will happen in the afterlife.

Actually, if you don't know the meaning of this life, why bother

think about the afterlife?

This life will determine all the afterlives.

You can't be the emperor or the monk.

If people don't retrospect or change themselves,

they will get anxious.

They will be perplexed with worries everywhere.

Make peace with yourself.

Got it.

Thank you your Majesty.

Thank you.

Make peace with yourself.

Ok.

Uncle.

You're old.

Stop your nonsense.

I have heard what you said.

I just want to ask you one thing.

I can kill you if you deceive me.

Your Majesty.

It's ok.

You can ask.

If I die, will I regret I don't kill you today when you rebel?

Will I?

Weapons down.

As I know, your grandson made an agreement with my man.

They pledge my life with his head.

Yes.

He is young.

Unmarried.

I have other grandsons.

Then.

Great.

Please take the grandson back.

You can punish me as you want.

Stop it.

This little girl tries to save thousands of orphans with her life.

She knows nothing about Buddhism, but she is compassionate.

This little girl tries to save thousands of orphans with her life.

I have practiced Buddhism for so many years.

I am nothing compared to her.

I won't come here if I am still so afraid of death.

Uncle.

If I die, will you feel relieved?

Just do it.

Your Majesty.

Kill me before you kill him.

I am afraid you are going astray.

All grandson does for you are just a joke.

Your Majesty.

Jianwen is dead.

I died on the day I broke into Nanjing.

He set himself on fire.

Why do I need to kill a monk?

Thank you for your enlightment.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

What are you doing?

If you see the orphans come back in the future.

Please help me kowtow and apologize to them.

The two emperors left.

We should go now.

We are even.

So we can come again now.

It's over.

No need for this.

Our game has just begun.

You can surrender.

Don't worry.

I will rescue the orphans.

If I can't save them out, I will kill myself as an apology.

But you...

You have to leave the capital as soon as possible.

Go as far as you can.

Never come back.

You don't deserve Miss Sun.

Your decision or hers?

This is the price that you lose.
