[ Ming Dynasty ] EP21

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?

It's ok. I won't blame you.

The time was immature.

The two battalions coulld frighten the crown prince.

But it's nothing for the emperor.

Help me.

Who told you?

Now I am clear-headed in here.

All the top three come in.

Yu Qian, Cao Bin, Yang Lun.

Long live the emperor.

Great.

Let me see our stars of wisdom.

Yu Qian.

How much wine did you drink?

You want to be Li Po?

Your Majesty.

Yu Qian got the first place.

Maybe he drank a lot with his friends.

He didn't expect you would see him.

He should tell me.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

I received a letter, my mother died.

I drank two liters.

I am still not sober.

Your parents died; how can you drink wine?

My mother is a widow, and she raised me alone since childhood.

I didn't have the time to repay her.

So I wanted to drink myself to death.

I can't repay my parents' gratitude.

What a weirdo.

Well, I won't blame you.

Write a five-word poem with the title of your hometown.

Or homesick.

Or missing your parents.

For tonight's entertainment.

Don't be afraid.

I just want to ask why.

I am not good enough to you.

Or I didn't do enough?

Tell me.

Don't lie to me.

God's watching at us.

You also know after my father tells me to go on an expedition.

I can do something I want on the battlefield.

And he won't punishment for it.

Is it so difficult for me to get an answer?

I'm afraid you think we are incompatible.

The successor is father's decision to make.

I never want to betray you.

Not at all.

I am on your side for other things.

So you think after the crown prince becomes the emperor, he will let you go?

I think dad is sowing discord between us.

We have disputes so that the crown prince could take the throne smoothly.

Brother.

Father values ​​you.

Stop it.

Father gave the ministry of defense to Yang Shiqi.

Who is Yang Shiqi?

He is on the crown prince's side.

You stay in Beizheng imperial guards department for too long.

You are so narrow-minded.

If the father doesn't care about the crown prince.

Why did he lock the crown prince's assistants like Yang Shiqi in the prison

before he went to Jiming Temple?

He just wants to keep the crown prince's hands safe.

The crown prince understands this.

But we are still dreaming.

Now the grandson is going to be conferred with the title.

We can't let this happen.

We need to change the rules.

Brother.

I...

I...

I have no ambition.

Don't get me involved.

Brother.

Do you remember when the last time you told the truth was?

Come.

Come.

We will have no way out if we go on like this.

Don't be silly.

What else do you know?

I know you will choose the right side.

I am on your side.

Yu Qian.

Can you make poems?

Your Majesty.

I am afraid my poem is not for the occasion.

All ears.

The village is desolate.

It has locusts every year.

The old men need to pay pff debts.

The kids need to sell the harvest.

The broken house has air leak.

The roof beam is dilapidated, and the moonlight falls on the bed.

But the peasants refuse to report the loss from the disaster.

You.

Yu Qian.

How dare you drink so much wine?

Even talk nonsense here.

The emperor is so magnanimous that he doesn't punish you.

You can't do this again.

Come.

Take him out.

Point at one but abuse another.

Forget it.

I am not deaf or stupid.

You don't need to make decision for me.

Crown prince.

You pick him up right?

Well...

What should we say?

You should punish me.

But the peasants refuse to report the loss from the disaster.

Which official?

He didn't report the famine?

The kids sell the last harvest.

Our tax is not high.

Are they reduced to sell the last harvest?

Your Majesty.

You are going to go on an expedition again.

All the local officials have increased taxes.

They tried all the extreme ways.

I hope you could stop being so aggressive.

I hope you could stand on the people's side and benefit all your people.

Nonsense.

Your people in the Jiangnan region can live on the harvest.

But what will the border live on?

So pedantic.

Your Majesty.

Yu Qian is so sad about his mother's loss.

Now he is so sentimental.

You can't take his nonsense seriously.

Please forgive him.

Two liters of wine didn't drown him to death.

Now he comes here to ask for the death penalty?

Great.

He should join the army and go on an expedition with me.

I will take him to see what the country is like.

Your Majesty.

Get up.

As I know, your father died.

And you were injured by the assassin.

How's your recovery?

I am fine, thank you, Your Majesty.

Have you seen the crown prince and the crown princess?

Not yet.

I will go to visit them later.

You know the drill.

Brilliant.

Come with me.

On your knees...

Eyes front.

On your knees...

Take a seat.

With a cushion.

You don't look well.

The doctor told me that you lost too much blood.

You can't recover all of a sudden.

You are young, but you need to cure yourself entirely.

We have some good medicines in the palace.

They will make the decoction for you.

Thank you, grandpa.

No red tape.

He can do it on your behalf.

Thank you, grandpa.

Sit down.

I think.

We have a small yard besides Donggong palace.

With a good viem and quiet.

If you live in the crown prince's palace right after you come,

people think I am partial.

I have the small courtyard cleaned.

You can walk around during your recuperation.

As I know, you have good archery.

After you recover, I want to have a competition with you.

Say thank you, you Majesty.

But I don't understand.

All people are the emperor's subjects.

Just say it.

Whatever.

I don't want to.

Grandfather.

I will thank you on her behalf.

No need.

I am from the countryside.

I know nothing about the etiquette.

Please forgive my ignorance.

Get up.

You can do what you want, see whomever you want after you go there.

Get well soon.

Crown prince, I...

I...

He is not...

He told me...

Did I say rise?

You should teach more about the etiquette.

I didn't expect you would reward her so.

I shouldn't?

You must be thinking, I am the emperor, so I can reward whatever I like.

You are wrong.

She should be whole-hearted.

You need to give her some conditions she can't refuse.

Do you think they are afraid of the browbeaters?

Do you need my help to marry her?

Anyway, she becomes an orphan.

We can't sit around and do nothing.

We can't sit around and do nothing.

No.

If you don't like her, she will marry someone else.

If you don't like her, she will marry someone else.

Grandfather.

If you don't like her, she will marry someone else.

I didn't say, and I don't like her.

I didn't say, and I don't like her.

I just think if you reward her, so she will be emboldened.

Why did her father die?

Wine.

No improvising.

In the temple, usually she...

In the temple, usually she...

I don't want to get us embarrassed.

You hide it for her.

It's ok.

But she has to know.

Otherwise she will be emboldened.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Luoyang sent great peonies years ago.

I planted it in Jiming Temple.

It took two years to bloom.

I asked the old monk what's the secret for raising flowers.

He told me.

Just wait for it.

Grandfather.

Now I find you like beating around the bush like the old monk.

I am so mad at you.

I want to sleep now.

Grandfather.

My father are still waiting outside.

You should go outside, too.

Where is your grandfather?

Sleeping.

You need to kneel here.

Who is this?

Quite a sound sleeper.

He should be No.1 Scholar.

But he drank too much.

His poem pissed your grandpa off.

Go... Don't make a sound.

Grandpa is sleeping inside.

You just leave him be?

Find a quilt for him.

Keep an eye on him.

Go...

Wake up.

Go.

Miss Sun, please.

Miss Sun, here we are.

What else do you need?

Free feel to tell me.

What is your name?

My name is Ye Qiu.

Y-E, Q-I-U.

Ye Qiu?

( From a miscellaneous poem)

Lady Hu

Lady Hu?

Lady Hu.

I'm here.

Oh my god.

Why it's you?

Why are you here?

I have known it since you entered the palace.

You are Lady Hu.

I told them to get you here.

Why are you, Lady Hu?

Why are you, Lady Hu?

As I know, you went to see the emperor.

The emperor didn't say anything to you?

How do you know I'm here?

How do you know I'm here?

Ok, stop cutting in.

Since you are here.

We have enough time to talk.

I have many questions to ask you.

You just come to the palace.

You still don't understand the rules here.

Ming Dynasty's female officials are in 6 departments and 1 commission.

6 departments have Shanggong, Shangyi, garment department

Shangshan Shangqin and Shanggong.

The commision is Gongzheng commission.

In charge of disciplinary rules.

My aunt is the head of all the departments and commissions.

I am in charge of the garment and Shangshan departments.

I am in charge of 75 female officers and 18 historians.

They call me Lady Hu.

You don't have to remember what I said just now.

I should ask you now.

Did the emperor tell you, you are the imperial grandson's

wife or concubine?

How do I know?

You go to ask.

You blocked the arrow for the emperor.

I wanted to talk to you that night.

But my aunt wants to see you if you could survive.

If you survive, we will kowtow you.

No ordinary people can live here.

It's for the princess royal.

We still have no princess.

Last night the emperor gave the imperial decree.

Aunt is such a good predictor.

In my opinion, you are going to be the imperial grandson's wife.

I don't know if I should be happy or cry.

Anyway, we can often see each other, right?

I want to be with you too.

I don't know how to continue with my life.

Lady Hu.

Lady wants to see you.

Ok.

I can't stay here too long today.

I have something to do. I'll see you tomorrow.

Well.

We can't call us sisters.

I'm trying to have my pedigree fixed.

You are awake?

You are awake.

You can sleep more.

It's ok.

What did you say yesterday?

I remember I saw the emperor.

Yes.

Do you still remember you saw the emperor?

You remember you wrote a poem?

And made a joke with the emperor?

No.

No.

If no, my father can be on knees with you here.

Don't scare him.

I didn't scare him.

I am afraid he will be out of mind and lose his head.

Don't worry.

I should have died if I need to.

I won't be here.

Well.

Go to see your grandfather.

Are you awake?

Yes.

Listen.

He ordered you to write strategies on the frontiers.

You will be pardoned if you can write it well.

If you can't write it well, Shangshan department will have a large jar of wine.

You should jump in there, drown yourself.

Grandfather told you to go to have some rest.

We should go back together.

I need to keep watch.

You should keep an eye on him.

Do you have hot tea?

Yes...

Hurry, go, go...

It's my first time seeing someone ask for tea in my grandfather's bedroom.

Help me.

Keep an eye on him.

It's ok.

Mind you feet.

Good luck.

Miss Sun, you have a visitor.

Miss Sun.

The emperor said Miss Sun is my friend.

I am here to see her.

You still become his official.

I am the head of the ministry of defense.

The emperor gets me promoted. I appreciate it.

Crown prince.

Why are you still here?

Still didn't go?

Crown prince.

I will go back to the border tomorrow.

It's not easy to go to the capital.

Don't be so stupid.

You should be in the frontier now.

You will die here.

Hurry...

No one saw me.

You will die if you stay any longer.

You will die here.

Hurry. -Crown prince.

Hurry. -Crown prince.

Here is imperial decree.

Not for you.

Your Grace.

The emperor said.

if you don't obey the decree,

sow discord between the emperor and prince Han.

now you need to go to the imperial prison.

I tell you.

The emperor told me go to the frontier.

You can't arrest me.

You can't arrest me.

Can't arrest me.

Go.

Crown prince, I never said that.

Crown prince.

Help. -Crown prince.

Crown prince.

You want to go?

He wants to exile you.

I am exiling myself.

You will marry the grandson.

And you will be the queen.

He can't tolerate me.

I am leaving now.

Let bygones be bygones.

You will have a better future.

Don't go.

Xu Bin.

Miss Sun, take care.

Xu Bin.

You can't go.

Xu Bin.

I think it's strange.

I didn't expect Xie Jin would sow discord between our father and son.

I am sorry for what I said before.

Since you have found the rumormonger, it's over.

But you need to teach Xie Jin a good lesson.

He even does this just because of my trust.

Father.

Leave it to me.

What did he say?

I will make him tell everything.

It's not the priority.

We should do our business first.

Prince Zhao.

Go to investigate Tartar, Oirat, and Uriyangqa.

Yes.

Take 3000th battalions,5th military camp and Shenji camp.

To Xiaogu Mountain.

Military exercise according to the military plan.

I will see it myself.

A little careless.

I know.

I haven't thrown Dharani quilt yet.

A little careless.

I will bury it.

How about it?

Your Majesty.

Don't even tell the truth.

They act the play together to kill the scholar Xie.

I didn't expect you believed in it.

They act the play together to kill the scholar Xie.

What should I do if I don't believe it?

Then I can't end this.

But I didn't shortchange him.

He could have left, and now he has to stay here.

Well, indignant?

I hate myself for being incompetent.

I can't help you handle the military affair.

But now you need to tolerate them.

Soon.

For the imperial grandson's wedding clothes,

My advice is...

My advice is...

The half will be made in the palace, and the other half will be made outside.

Don't blame me that I don't reap some profit for you.

There is nothing I can do.

I still don't know where the money for the wedding comes out.

That's all about the emperor's affair.

Things should be prepared after the money is spent.

We should do it quickly.

Send the competent people to do it.

You don't give the crown princess an answer?

How many pearls do you need on the clothes?

Need to punch holes?

Do we need to prepare ornaments like emerald, jade, gold, silver in advance?

We can make it outside.

Where does the money come from?

All mouth and no trousers?

If we have money, what do we need you for?

Anyone can do it.

The crown princess is anxious now.

You can ask her.

You will get nothing but scolding.

How about this?

Garment department should find more shops.

Send the samples to them.

Tell them, and the best shop will make the clothes for

the wedding and the conferring ceremony.

They will be happy and enthusiastic.

We don't need to pay the deposit so soon.

So we can give the crown princess the answer.

Is that ok?

Ok, sounds great.

You can make it so easily.

I am just doing my little bit.

I need to give the crown princess the answer.

And I know your difficulties.

Ok, it's your turn.

If crown princess knows you are...

If crown princess knows you are...

What are the meal standards for Miss Sun?

I asked them for a long time, but no one answered me.

The candidate's standard or the concubine's?

I have met this before.

She lived in Donggong palace.

According to the imperial son's standards.

I'll keep an eye on it.

You have your work to do, none of your concern.

Chuxiu palace's meal and the maid need to be recorded.

Chuxiu palace's meal and the maid need to be recorded.

Tell them to keep mouth shut.

She is the imperial grandson's guest and the emperor's savior.

You can't afford a mistake.

You can't afford a mistake.

Till then, I can't save you.

Yes.

Sorry for my harsh words.

I grow up with my aunt's slaps from childhood.

You only see their good times but no bad times.

I will share her responsibility.

I won't make trouble for you as long as you finish your work.

Tea for him.

Maybe you will be beheaded after the tea.

Yu Qian's scenario.

I didn't expect I got the person again at this age.

Boy.

You are so lucky.

Lady Hu.

When will you hold your wedding?

We will do the best for you.

Yeah...

Why are you repeating these taboos?

Go back to your work.

Yes...

Give me that gift.

The most expensive.

Prince Han's?

Why are you peeking at me lately?

I think you are so frightening now.

You sit there for a long time and don't speak a thing.

I don't know what you're thinking.

We have discussed the trade center for several times.

There are many contradictions between our country and outside the Pass.

They want to buy iron, but we don't sell.

We want to buy horses, and they don't sell.

Trade cow and sheep fur for medicine.

We need to try so hard to buy these?

I think you are a talent for the military.

But you give me the old-dated plan of trade center to me.

I don't think it's a good idea.

You know we have turbulence around the border.

than the soldiers' lives as the Great Wall.

than the soldiers' lives as the Great Wall.

The two sides trade on the border.

The court will reduce the looting.

Herders want no fights.

As long as the trade is fair, the shop owners obey the rules.

Even the khans of Oirat, Tartar, and Uriyangqa will discuss rebellion.

Their cavalries won't follow.

In my view, the trade center can outcompete millions of soldiers.

Your Majesty.

Yu Qian is maniac.

But please forgive him for his loyalty.

Please throw Yu Qian into the army.

He will go on expedition with you.

I will teach him about the rules in the court in the future.

If he makes mistakes again, I will take responsibility for him.
