[ Ming Dynasty ] EP24

Please help me. I want to see the emperor.

If, within three days, the emperor doesn't see me, I will kill myself.

So he won't be suspicious.

Neither will you.

I will see the emperor first.

And I will take the first gash.

Two supply lines.

One will choose Miyun.

Through Nanweizi, to Abaga.

Through Zhao Tuole to Xiwu'erte.

Put up a battalion for supplies in the upstream of Lake Kelulun.

The other line.

From Zhangjiakou, through Huade to Sunite.

Through Mandal gobi.

Imperial grandson.

The emperor knows you have a fever.

He told you to have more rest.

Miyun is the most convenient for the two roads.

It has good road conditions.

The disadvantage is, it's convenient for the enemy and us.

Go through Zhangjiakou.

Imperial grandson.

I have persuaded the emperor for many times.

But the emperor refused.

And you don't go.

So now what can I do?

You have knelt here for one day.

Maybe you can come again tomorrow.

Thank you on behalf of all the soldiers and generals.

Your Majesty.

It's our duty.

You should go back and summon all the wagons and horses.

Make a transportation plan and supply time.

Yes.

Yes.

Tell him to go. Go.

Why does he come here while he has a fever?

Go...

Imperial grandson.

You also have heard of it.

You should go back.

Otherwise, you will harm your body.

No one can afford it.

Or I will call you when the emperor has a good mood.

Please help me have a try again.

Well...

Only say two words.

And he will see me when he hears it.

Your Majesty.

Did he go?

Outrageous.

He is so rude even in the palace.

What is he playing at?

He has a fever after I scolded him?

I can't find another little pencil neck like him in the palace.

Imperial grandson says, bid farewell.

Rise.

Help him.

Imperial grandson, come.

Bid farewell, great.

Where do you want to go?

But I need to remind you.

You think I will change my mind?

Then it's your dream.

I can go anywhere.

Then you should be a monk-like Jianwen.

No.

You will leave with Miss Sun.

I have an idea.

On the east sea of Zhejiang, Chen Youliang's ministers refused to surrender.

My father, emperor Zhu Yuanzhang admires their loyalty.

He made an agreement with them.

As long as they don't go ashore, they don't need to surrender.

Locals call them Aquatic men.

All the generations live on the boats.

They have kids there and live their lives.

They are thrown into the water after they die.

The corpse will flow to anywhere.

Then you can lead them.

I will keep you safe as long as you don't go ashore.

Thank you, grandfather.

You are welcome.

Grandfather, why don't you ask me why?

Why does the little pencil neck need a reason?

If I died in Jianwen's hands, muddleheaded,

Would the Ming Dynasty collapse?

Impossible.

The world is like normal, even without us.

Grandfather.

I am here to bid you a farewell.

Please allow me to say more.

I want to tell you all.

Grandfather.

You are wrong.

You are totally wrong for the campaign of Jingnan.

Jianwen's loyal ministers are royal as well.

Sooner or later, what goes around comes around.

In your eyes, I am too wicked to be pardoned.

No.

Jianwen's loyal minister is loyal ministers as well.

Who am I?

I am the rebel No.1?

How dare you!

You asked me.

If someone exposes Miss Sun's identity, what will I do?

If possible,

I will tell the world

my wife is one of the orphans of the campaign of Jingnan.

Our family can face the past.

Our family can face the past.

I will build a large ancestral temple.

For Fang Xiaoru.

He is the model of loyalty for the scholars.

This is the emperor's mind and manner as a model.

Right?

You like land and talents.

Land.

You can fight hard for it.

What about talents?

How many years does it take to nurture cultural heritage?

You keep saying that you never regret it.

Is that true?

If it's true, why do you want to see Jianwen so eagerly?

I won't fail Miss Sun.

You can behead me or exile me.

But I don't want to see you have more infamy.

Did you tell Miss Sun all this?

Yes.

She wants to see you too.

She says, if she can't see you within three days, she will kill herself.

So you will be relieved.

Grandfather.

You knew she was one of the orphans of a campaign of Jingnan.

But you still agreed on our marriage.

Well, I see.

Grandfather.

Then I beg your leave.

What do you mean?

I don't understand.

Blah...

What?

Total chaos.

You are right.

But I am your grandfather.

We can bully an old man but not the poor young man.

I can't irritate you.

If you really build a temple for Fang Xiaoru, I won't mind.

But I need to tell you one thing.

You can't speak so evil behind me.

You should say.

I made a big mistake and contributions throughout my life.

I am jittery everyday for the past decades.

Someone calls me a traitor.

Someone says I am so militaristic.

And spends money like water.

Never cherish the country's development and people's livelihood.

But the generations to come never know my diligence

and hardship on the battlefield.

Grandfather, you are not alone.

I will say like this.

I want to go to sleep now.

What about Miss Sun?

Tell her to come to see me.

Yes.

I want to drink wine now.

What are you looking at?

Come up and check it out.

Come.

Come.

Nothing to see here.

This is the only training for family Zhu's training.

I have seen the cavalry tactic in the book.

You know?

You know?

What's learned from books is superficial, after all.

I don't know it until I see it with my own eyes.

The emperor conquered Alutai every time with cavalry tactic.

You know nothing.

They lost.

That's because Alutai is too stupid.

You will see their fiasco sooner or later.

Ok.

You enjoy yourself to the full.

Make a bet.

Ok.

The emperor is here.

Please.

Your Majesty.

You have changed now.

I didn't know the code of manners last time.

I hope you could forgive me.

Rise.

As I know, you will kill yourself if I don't see you within three days.

So you want to threaten me?

It's a crime right?

I can't see the imperial grandson frown all day long.

Now we are married, I can't ignore him.

But I don't understand one thing.

I wonder if I should ask you.

Say it.

Now you know I am one of the orphans of a campaign of Jingnan.

Then why you still don't kill me?

How to say?

It's...

It's my generation's fault.

You don't need to feel sorry for that.

I won't hide from the historians' judgement.

I won't leave the infamy to future generations.

The first time I brought you to the stage.

I was thinking...

In your eyes, maybe I am not so wicked.

We can lay down the burden and become a family.

My grandson loves you dearly.

He asks for forgiveness for you.

And he risks his life here.

And you...

Can you remove the misunderstanding or settle yourself down?

Yes.

Look.

If they run toward our wings,

Shenji Camp will confront them.

Battalion V will go from the rear.

I just need to streamline the army.

Sacrifice the front cavalrymen.

We will struggle with the cavalrymen.

My main force will attack from both sides.

And his Shenji Camp and the battalion V will join together.

And his Shenji Camp and the battalion V will join together.

My army will flock together.

Cavalrymen can't turn around.

They will hurt themselves if they turn around the muzzle.

So what's the solution?

If I am the commander, it won't be like this.

Look.

Here will be musketeers.

Battalion V will have half an hour to turn around.

We will make a circle with the wagons of supplies and gears.

As long as the cavalrymen slow down, they will be our targets.

Only in 15 minutes.

As long as the central camp is not captured,

the cavalrymen can defeat you after they come around.

Ming's advantage is efficient in coordination and massive forces.

Slow speed is the disadvantage.

Your advantage is fast speed.

The disadvantage is defense in depth.

If they curb your speed, what will you do?

Crown prince.

You can't blame us.

Scholar Xie cried all the time when he first came here.

Scholar Xie cried all the time when he first came here.

You punished him?

Otherwise others can't sleep.

They are going to be deaf.

Where is he?

Mr. Xie.

Mr. Xie.

Why do you become like this?

You need to wait for the emperor to come back from the expedition.

You will be released with amnesty if he is happy.

Won't forget you.

Crown prince.

As I know, the emperor is going to give amnesty.

He wants to pray for the army.

So I asked my friends in the ministry of justice to add my name in the amnesty list.

If the emperor doesn't want to, you can say some words for me.

You are so ridiculous.

I...

Can you have any bloody patience?

Send prince Zhao in.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

Why is Xie Jin on the amnesty list?

You want to release him?

You have taken his money.

Father.

I didn't take his bloody money.

The list comes from ministry of justice.

I didn't see it.

Your Majesty, the crown prince is here.

Speaking of the devil.

Let him in.

Crown prince, please.

Your Majesty.

Ok.

Rise.

You want to say nice words for Xie Jin?

No.

I want to give you my calligraphy.

And the military expense budget from ministry

of defense and ministry of households.

Please check it.

Did you see the amnesty of the ministry of justice today?

I didn't.

They won't send the memorials to me if they need your direct approval.

They would deliver them to your study.

Your Majesty...

What do you mean?

Your Majesty, you know scholar Xie is innocent.

He is a scholar in clover.

He really can't stand the torture.

So he did this.

He hopes you could forgive him.

I...

I will scold him.

Why scold him?

He is so impatient.

Impatient?

I think he is very capable.

He has such a long arm.

He even can reach the amnesty list.

Please release scholar Xie.

He can be an amanuensis in the imperial academy.

Or you can tell him to go home as a civilian.

He complied with the Yongle Canon after all.

No, he always thinks he is the most capable man.

He still grunts in the prison.

We can't release him so soon.

If you allow him to go home, he will speak evil behind you.

You will ruin a talent.

You can scold me.

But please show respect to father.

I scold you, idiot.

Speaking of which.

Xie Jin has no capital crime.

Yes, I know him.

He is too weak to suffer torture in jail.

Then...

Prince Zhao.

Your Majesty.

Go to the imperial prison to see if scholar Xie is still alive.

Then I will decide what to do.

Yes.

Father...

He...

Anything else?

I...

I know.

I...

I will find out if you form a clique to pursue

selfish interests with the brided officials.

The emperor said.

You are a talent.

You are well-learnt we have ever met in 500 years.

You are innocent.

So you will be valued after you go out.

The emperor really says so?

Really?

The emperor said, go to see if scholar Xie is still alive.

I need to thank him.

I will live well.

Come.

Send scholar Xie to the snow.

Keep an eye on him.

And throw him back to jail when he is rigid.

So I can report my work tomorrow.

Yes.

Hooray...

Long live the emperor...

Your Majesty.

Check the 3000 camps first.

Yes.

Beat the drum.

The good stirrups.

Made of fine iron.

Oirats use the wooden.

If they use iron, it will be different.

Get more harnesses.

Tie up.

Did you drink the imperial wine?

No.

You are the scholar No.1 right?

You are.

Rest it easy.

2 liang wine.

So little.

Let's go.

Go.

Go.

Beat the drum.

Fire.

Fire.

Fire.

Drink.

Drink.

Drink.

Drink.

Come...

Pour the wine.

Go.

Are you ok?

No problem.

So much wine.

They won't know this.

Come, only one jar.

Hurry. Are you fed up with living?

I am dead.

I am dead.

I am dead.

I'm dead...

I am dead...

Tell me.

The emperor is such an immortal.

Why does he go to fight a battle regardless of the good wine?

Give me...

No, we have to go.

It's too unsafe here.

Later we will lose heads.

They won't come. I am sure of it.

Tell the crown prince.

Don't fool me.

Don't fight.

So we will be good?

If we don't resist, you will lead the horse by the yellow river now.

This is the crown prince's calligraphy of chariots march by Du Fu.

You should look at it.

And hang it up.

Yes.
