[ Ming Dynasty ] EP20

Send people to Beijing in advance to pay the way.

After the grandson's wedding, we will move the capital.

It's bitter cold in the North. It's different from Jiangnan.

Those who don't want to go can stay here.

So in the future, here will be the other capital.

All the departments should determine who will stay and who will go.

Yes.

Lady Hu.

You lost something here?

I lost my aunt here.

Who is your aunt?

You.

You keep me from hunger and cold.

And raise me up.

I will never forget you.

I have told you that you can't mention this again.

In the palace, everyone knows you are my aunt.

Why don't you want to accept it?

I'll find someone to make the pedigree for myself.

I will take all the responsibility.

You can go to attend the beauty election and make a career.

If there is something wrong...

Aunt, I have seen the end of your way.

What do you want me to do?

Yes, I know.

I can't change your mind now, right?

The crown princess said you have made up your mind.

She is right.

You really prefer the cape with pearls and the heavy crown?

Aunt, if you really wish me good, you can't stop me.

The crown princess is satisfied with me.

I want to choose my life.

You have sharp ears.

You should go. I won't stop you again.

Aunt.

I won't go to play cards in Nansansuo.

You won't, either.

I will support you in the future.

Why do you cut off the money of the compilation of Yongle Canon?

Have you checked these memorials?

Drought in Henan, Shandong.

Japanese pirates in Fujian.

See what you wrote in the memorial.

Open your bloody eyes.

I wrote the ministry of revenue should raise money first.

Are they raising now?

They have no money.

So you can starve all the people to death?

Or sell ​​their children?

Why don't you starve yourself to death?

Shandong officials told me all the people were eating

the flesh of each other's kids.

They don't want to eat their own kids, so they eat the neighbors' kids.

The country is not yours.

Right?

I see.

You did this on purpose.

Tell me, what are you planning?

Your Majesty.

This year our revenue is only 75 million.

Yongle Canon costs 15 million.

We need to construct the capital and dig the canal.

We don't have enough budget.

We still have to fight a war.

I can't make it.

Then you should quit.

You stop the Yongle Canon.

How can I see the ancestors in the underground?

You are good for nothing.

You said you would run the country well after I leave it to you.

Great.

I even give you the study.

But what did you do?

Why is there no rain in Henan and Shandong?

Just because of your misfeasance.

You need to write a confession.

I can't write.

You don't need to write literally.

I can't trouble you.

I will write myself.

I am your superior. So I need to take responsibility.

All my fault.

I shouldn't have raised you the idiot.

I should die right?

You are nothing compared to your eldest brother.

Your brother never asked you for money during his regency.

Now he needs to sell ​​furniture on the street for 10,000 ounces of silver.

How about you?

You drop money like water.

All the ministers have benefited from you.

All the eunuchs got your gold beans.

Where did you get the money from?

Who supports you? Where do you make a fortune?

Look at you.

The ferret face.

Look at your eldest brother.

Look into the mirror.

You don't look like an emperor at all.

Your eldest brother has so many talents.

Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Fu are the crown prince's assistants.

Look at your men.

They know nothing but polish their guns and swords.

Such an eyesore.

You dare embroider your robe with python so soon.

You are eaten up with pride.

You should send troops, kill people who block your way

and surround Jiming Temple.

So you can be the emperor.

Do you know why I delay the grandson's wedding?

I just want to see.

And give you a chance.

You transferred the army from Nanjing. But I trivialized it.

You hooked up with the orphans of the Jingnan campaign in secret.

I tolerated.

Tolerate.

What have I got in the end?

I am the first weak and incompetent emperor.

Our empire will be ruined in your hands.

And we can't enter the ancestral temple.

Well.

I think we'd better give the country to Jianwen's descendant back.

And we will hunt in Beijing.

Father.

Stop it.

Give Jianwen's descendant back.

Then why did you rebel?

You really think yourself as a loyal minister?

Can't we see the ancestors without compiling Yongle Canon?

So we can see the ancestors after we rebel?

Even if you compile the best encyclopedia, Yongle Canon,

the historians won't say you are the legitimate successor.

The country has no much money.

I also want to relieve the people in drought.

You are all mouth and no trousers.

You let us calculate.

You just find all the ways to spend money.

I really can't caculate it.

Now I am nothing compared to my eldest brother.

I have a ferret face and don't look like an emperor.

No need the confession.

I'll go home now.

You can poison me in the wine or get me hung.

In the entire palace, you should open your eyes.

You will know how respectful I am.

You should take the seat forever.

Never leave it to me.

Prince Han...

I beg you, don't go.

I beg you.

You should speak nicely to the emperor.

I beg you.

I am the idiot, sorry I can't.

Prince Han.

I beg you.

Prince Han.

Don't be angry, your Majesty.

Don't be angry, your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Send for a doctor...

Don't be angry, your Majesty.

Don't be angry, your Majesty.

Don't be angry, your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Crown prince...

No need.

What's wrong?

What's wrong with you? Say it.

The emperor loses his mind.

Nonsense.

Brother...

Brother.

What's wrong with you?

What happened?

Prince Han loses his mind.

What day is today?

What's happening all here?

Both of you want to lie to me.

Stop it.

Come with me.

Brother.

How could this be?

Come.

Stop it.

Enough, don't cry.

Stop it.

Go, stop.

Crown prince.

My family's pillar dies.

All of you come here.

Kowtow to the crown prince.

Well.

They...

He is dying. Please help us.

No...

Sister in law.

Don't say like that.

Don't say like that.

He is not dead yet.

You can't do this.

Crown prince.

Hurry.

Go...

Go.

Get up...

Get up.

Stand up.

Stand up.

Nephew.

Get up.

Go...

Go...

Go...

Go...

Hurry.

Funny, huh?

I am not dead, why do you offer sacrifices to me?

You think it's not terrible enough, right?

Outrageous.

Pour wine yourself.

Propose a toast to me.

Don't try to persuade me.

Otherwise you are assholes.

And get out immediately.

You.

Brother, you...

You really want to die?

Second brother.

It's not funny ok?

Enough.

You drink the wine.

You should go back.

No, second brother.

Second brother.

I can help you, no matter what happens.

You can't tolerate the emperor's scolding?

You learn this from me.

It's so common that he scolds me.

But I never talk back.

I don't want to argue with him.

He is just the senior.

We can't argue with fathers.

Right?

Brother, stop it.

I will drink wine with you.

Then three of us will go to the palace together

and kowtow to the emperor for forgiveness.

He scolds everyone.

Soon we will fight a war.

It's time for you to make contribution.

He wants to enlighten you.

Even the fool can see it.

I can't this time.

He has been enlightening me for most of my life.

I tried my best.

But he still scolds me so.

He is not just angry with me.

He just wants to tell everyone that no one is better than him.

I am so sick of it.

Brother.

What are you doing?

Look.

What are you doing?

I didn't find the coffin.

So I use this.

When the imperial decree comes, you should bury me like this.

Brother, you are so hilarious.

You can't do this.

Come out now.

Here is the imperial decree.

Here is the imperial decree.

Come out...

Hurry.

Here is the oral decree.

Your Majesty.

Fine.

Where is prince Han?

Prince Han.

You do this on purpose right?

I won't go out.

The emperor says reward a Dharani quilt and a set of mourning apparel.

He will be buried after seven days.

I am sorry, prince.

Come.

What are you doing?

Prince.

Please cooperate with us.

So we can report on our mission.

The emperor emphasized.

We should close the coffin lid.

Just in case your corpose bounces out.

The emperor really said so?

I can't lie to you.

The emperor really said so.

How dare you!

No.

Stop.

Hurry up.

Later you should keep vigil beside the coffin for prince Han.

Open.

Crown prince.

Prince Zhao.

How dare you!

You are here.

We are here to mourn.

I should go now.

Zhao.

Second brother.

It's great.

You should reflect yourself.

You should write a memorial in there.

I'll ask for the Father's forgiveness with the third brother.

Go.

Go.

I don't need his forgiveness.

Open.

Come back...

Come back...

Come, hurry.

Hurry,

Come, come back.

Hurry up.

Prince.

Come, cry.

Play the instrument...

Cry...

Play the instrument...

Bid a farewell.

I know you will come, but I didn't decorate it here.

These days I am occupied.

Grandfather told me to pick a temporary residence for you.

But I'm afraid you can't get used to it.

But I'm afraid you can't get used to it.

So you need to stay here for a while.

Why are you so polite to me?

It's much better than my hut.

I want to say thank you.

I live the wandering life.

I don't know your rules in palace.

So please forgive me if I do something wrong.

You can tell me everything if necessary.

I am all ears.

I mean it.

You can shout hysterically.

Or break the tables and desks.

Don't worry, they won't gossip about you.

But if you have a shred of hatred in front of the emperor,

you will drive me to a dead end.

Before I come here, I have buried everything with my Father.

In Jiming Temple, I have recited the pedigree before his memorial tablet.

I have memorized all thoroughly.

You can ask me if you don't believe it.

You had such a bad temper when you were the rebel.

Just like the imperial concubine or the queen mother.

Now you promise me to go to the palace.

And you are so polite.

Sit down.

It's not an interrogation.

Great.

Then I want to ask you.

Why did your Father die in Jiming Temple?

Died of alcoholism.

How could this happen?

Can't stand taboos and regulations in the temple.

He has diabetes.

He died of alcoholism.

How did you meet the imperial grandson?

The imperial grandson searched the shop.

And then?

After we first met, we went to the riverside of Qinhuai.

Then we are in love.

I blocked the arrow for the emperor and pledged love in the temple.

Then I went to the crown prince's palace.

Great.

Well said.

But I can't sense your sincerity.

You are going to spend your life with me.

Are you going to lie to me for the entire life?

Sincerity?

Can you lend me some?

My sincerity.

You and Xu Bin have destroyed my sincerity in Jiming Temple.

I don't have what you want, imperial grandson.

Eunuch.

Open the coffin.

The prince should come out.

Princess, it's the imperial decree.

Don't move.

Prince.

Are you stupid?

The emperor will take advantage of this if I come out.

They close the coffin according to the imperial decree.

He wants to see me escape out.

Prince.

You can't do this; otherwise, I can't report my work.

Prince, you...

I want to ask you a favor.

I need some wine.

I want to drink.

Prince.

Prince.

Here.

Go.

Give some money to the eunuchs.

It's so suffocating.

Please, do something.

What can I do?

You should apologize to the emperor.

Not for you to tell me.

Go.

Come, all of you.

Princess, it's...

Why it's broken?

It's...

Probably it's the rotten wood.

So smart.

Hurry.

I have so much money.

I have Dharani quilt.

So I have no chance to spend them.

Please help me spend some.

Prince.

God bless you.

The emperor won't allow you to die.

I have prepared a banquet for you. I hope you will like it.

Well.

Just go.

I want to think about how to write my confession.

Yes.

Go.

You need a brush pen, or someone will write to you?

What?

You want to write the confession right?

Are you my wife?

Whose side are you on?

Why do I write the confession?

I won't write it even if I have to die.

They won't make me.

Are you out of mind?

Why do you irritate the emperor?

So you are so happy there, right?

I should have done this earlier.

Look at their face.

Face?

The emperor locks you in the coffin.

What face do they have?

No one wants to come close.

Your brothers will be so happy at home.

You should come out.

And kowtow to the emperor.

You will suffer no loss after you apologize to him.

You know nothing.

Yes, I know nothing.

They will bury you in seven days.

There is nothing you can do until then.

What bad luck to marry you.

You think after I come out, the emperor will let me go so easily?

What a daydream.

I am charged with rebellion or misfeasance.

He seized my queue.

He can punish me as he wants.

What should we do?

I need to see prince Zhao.

Who?

They want to curse me to death.

The national exam result comes out. Why are you so scared?

You said you are afraid of nothing, right?

Bye.

What's wrong?

The table...

Come...

Everyone...

The one who gets a first will get the reward.

It's our Jiangsu and Zhejiang's honor.

But we have a requirement.

He needs to give us calligraphy and painting as a souvenir.

Thank you all...

They are coming.

Here they are.

Here...

Yu Qian from Zhejiang gets the first place.

Yu Qian's reward.

Firecrackers.

Congratulations, master Yu.

Congratulations, master Yu.

Congratulations, master Yu.

Where is he?

He is here.

For God's sake.

Gosh.

Hold still.

Master Yu. Master Yu.

Congratulations

Congratulations

This is the imperial decree.

Congratulations, sir you take the first place.

Congratulations.

Master Yu, you...

The emperor wants to see you.

How can he go like this?

It's...

Master Yu...

Bring me a bucket of water.

Here.

Where am I?

Here.

Here is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Guild Hall.

Who am I?

You are master Yu Qian.

You take the first place.

When?

Can't remember when?

The result comes out today.

The emperor wants to see you.

Are you sober now?

Hurry up.

Get him changed.

Hurry.

He didn't pay me the room fee for this month.

Let alone clothes.

I mortgaged all.

Master Yu.

I will return your money after I come back.

Here.

Help him.

Master Yu.

Everyone, he is out.

Help him.

Help him.

Master Yu.

Congratulations, Master Yu

Master Yu

Master Yu

Master Yu

You are so talented.

Yes.

The imperial examination is a success.

Thank you all the examiners.

For all the examinees.

I propose a toast to you.

Congratulations, your Majesty.

It will be lively outside.

Yes.

It will be very lively outside with firecrackers.

After the canal's completion, there will be more examinees.

Emperor Taizong of Tang went to see the stream of examinees

in the entrance during the imperial examination.

And he said contentedly.

All the talents are in my palms.

That's exactly what I am thinking.

This time the paper is much better than before.

This is what the people want to see.

We will have the chancellor, a grand secretary from them.

And we prefer a talent harnessing the borders.

Crown prince.

You should take the credit.

The emperor gives me the honor to select the talents for the country.

I can't steal your thunder.

I couldn't see many people when I presided over the imperial examinations

in the first year since our country's foundation.

But most of the attendees here are the talents elected in the first year.

You made a mistake.

Time's up.

The emperor needs to write the calligraphy.

Second brother.

Second brother.

Brother, they tell me you come out.

Third brother.

You are so great.

Tell me what you want, be quick.

Today the exam result comes out. Duty calls.

If I lose my head, you will be so happy, right?

You disappear so fast.

You can't help me at all.

I have said all I could.

You.

You are so stubborn.

What can you benefit from it?

I can't risk my life to ask the Father to forgive you.

I have cold feet when I see him.

I can enjoy the tranquility here.

Now I am suddenly enlightened.

Brother.

Today have a heart-to-heart talk with me, ok?

Ok.

I will tell the emperor that you are enlightened.

At that time you told the Father that I took the troops

to change the capital defense, right?
