[ Ming Dynasty ] EP31

Go.

I am looking for you.

You are drinking here alone.

I'll get you dishes that go with wine.

Imperial grandson.

Sit down.

Is it safe to speak with you here?

All my deadpool 1000 steps away.

Don't worry.

Imperial grandson, check it.

Kill.

You want to kill me?

So you can change the emperor's decision after you kill me?

The emperor's Shenji battalion and prince Han's Sanqian battalion.

And prince Zhao's camp V.

And Fan Zhong's imperial elite squad.

Who will listen to you?

It's hard for me to accept it when I first heard of this.

Then I realized the emperor was right.

The world won't be in turmoil only when prince Han becomes the emperor.

Now you can't change his decision.

Yang.

I am sorry for the rudeness.

We can have a good talk tonight.

In the morning the emperor will check the memorial and then seal it

Then we will have no chance.

Thank you for telling me this.

I have nothing to repay you now.

I am sorry.

I will repay you in the future.

Do you think I am an avaricious talebearer?

I can go to see prince Han with the memorial, right?

The emperor calls me here for some reason.

I have worked for the crown prince for so long cautiously.

I am trying to help you turn the tables.

But for the worst side, I can keep your family safe if I stand on his side.

Otherwise, the emperor can bypass me to announce this.

You can't hold a candle to the emperor.

You don't understand the emperor's intentions.

Please enlighten me.

The emperor wants you to settle in Nanjing with the crown prince.

Prince Han will make the vow to keep you safe,

which will be enshrined in ancestral temple.

What do you think of it?

At my age, I won't stay in Nanjing for a day.

Let alone for the rest of my life.

I can't die at home.

Men should die for the country.

Please tell the emperor.

He doesn't need to worry about the country's instability.

After he seals the memorial, I will kill myself.

I will go to the underground with him.

Kill yourself? Why do you need to wait for him to seal the memorial?

I can take your head to see the emperor, right?

How can you have these thoughts?

Your parents are still alive.

You commit suicide like this.

Have you ever thought about the emperor or the crown prince?

You are disloyal and unfilial.

A coward.

Don't assume yourself a hero.

The emperor said.

He tried to think of a way to help you. But in vain.

So I am here.

Fan Zhong

Fan Zhong

Your Majesty.

I want to see Yang Shiqi.

Yes.

It's dawn.

The emperor sends someone to fetch the memorial.

You should decide now.

All hot-blooded men are aggressive.

His descendants can't live in humiliation.

I will go to see the emperor with you.

Yang.

The emperor wants to see you.

I need an imperial grandson to go with me.

I should be sentenced to death.

Your Majesty.

You still choose him.

Your Majesty.

All the people want the law-based country.

But prince Han can't do this.

You only see the wars.

But you don't know he is so aggressive and militant.

Till then, people are of different minds, and the country will be in turmoil.

It will be so late.

You can't win.

Can't win?

I'll go to see you in the underground.

Grandfather.

I will live as I like.

Please.

Father.

Father.

When did you come back?

I come back after the battle is over.

I am here to see if you are all right.

Can you recognize it?

Xiongnu's bronze phenix.

I found it over there.

Crown prince likes it.

It's Xiongnu's bronze buckle.

I know you like it.

You have poor health since childhood.

I bring you gifts every time I return from expeditions.

This time our barracks are stationed on Longcheng's site.

You can still find more there.

Unfortunately we lost the battle.

It's ok.

Father, we have strong national strength.

We still have time.

Don't be so impatient.

Now I am sick, I can't get off the bed.

I really can't do anything for our country.

You work so hard for me.

I'm too stubborn.

I am sorry for causing you trouble.

I always have disputes with you.

But I trust you.

You know.

I know.

But others don't.

I am sorry for you, son.

Father.

I miss you all the time while you are away.

As long as you are back, everything will be ok.

I often missed you in the past for over one year.

Son.

Come, have a little walk with me.

Father.

I am fully recovered.

Father...

You.

Where are you taking me?

Go to the hall.

Ascend the throne immediately.

Our dynastry still has one century.

Father.

I need to get changed.

I can't wear pajamas to take the throne.

Father, wait for me.

Wait for me.

Father.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Father, you...

Father.

Father...

Wait for me.

Father, wait for me.

Father.

Father.

Father.

Your Majesty, wait for me.

Your Majesty, father.

Why are you looking at me?

I need my clothes.

My robe.

Father, the emperor, tells me to ascend the throne.

The emperor is here.

But the emperor is not here.

Not here?

Nonsense.

He was talking with me just now.

He gave me a Xiongnu's bronze buckle.

You...

You...

Where is my buckle?

Where is my buckle?

Where is my buckle?

Look, here.

My father.

He came here.

First, we need decide the emperor's funeral.

Call ministry of rites here.

The emperor died as an armyman.

How to bring him back in the capital?

That's all I can do it for the emperor.

It's easy.

The most important thing is,

what we should do with prince Han and prince Zhao.

How far are they away from us?

Less than a hundred miles.

How far are they away from us?

They fight while retreating.

Keep khailas-ausu safe.

I send someone to give an obituary notice.

Yes, they are doing what general Fan said.

I have arrested people who send messages to prince Han and prince Zhao.

Prince Han's and prince Zhao's armies are getting closer to the barrack.

Make a decree for me.

Tell them to undermine Alutai's and Oirat's military strength.

I need to make them believe the emperor is alive.

Do it.

It's a lie.

You want to rebel?

I am imperial grandson.

My father is crown prince.

My grandpa is the emperor.

Who am I rebeling against?

The world belongs to our family.

I don't care what you say.

I am not stupid.

General Fan.

Put down your sword.

It's clearly written in the imperial decree.

Crown prince will take the throne.

Haven't you seen it?

Now our country is in a serious trouble.

If prince Han and prince Zhao know this, they will rebel.

Till then, the country will be in an uproar.

If prince Han and prince Zhao know this, they will rebel.

If what I said is not true, you can kill me now.

If what I said is not true, you can kill me now.

General Fan.

Crown princes and imperial grandson are the imperial blood.

But if the world is in turmoil, princes kill each other,

and the emperor will be infamous,

it will be such a shame for the country.

Desperate times, desperate measures.

General Fan

Don't be impulsive.

I am an orphan.

My mother was driven to death.

The emperor avenged me.

Let me lead the horse for you.

I promised you I would protect you with my life.

I don't know what to say.

Tell the emperor.

We do this to stabilize the morale.

Strengthen the foundation for the emperor's cause.

All of us are indebted to the emperor.

It's not good for the country if we only care about the immediate interests.

What's your plan?

Prince Han's and Zhao's moles are everywhere in the army.

I think they know the emperor's serious illness.

So I need to convince them.

Now the emperor is healthy.

This is the imperial decree.

The emperor knows Alutai's remaining soldiers move northwest.

Oirat's and Tartar's armies meet them.

Sanqian battalion needs to go to attack them right away.

Camp V confronts Oirat's and Tartar's main forces.

We can't be careful enough.

The emperor has transferred reinforcements of 150,000 soldiers here.

All the armymen should be patient.

Terminate the enemy at all costs. That's all.

Yes, your Majesty.

Still go on fighting?

We have missed the chances.

Oirat and Tartar won't confront us directly.

But father still doesn't give up.

Brother, I smell a rat.

Father is so good at wars.

I thought he would tell us to speed up joining forces.

I didn't expect he would start battles again after his recovery and troop review.

It's strange.

Do you think someone wants to stop our joining forces?

Open.

Open.

The two princes are here.

The two princes are here.

Open.

Yu Qian, right?

You are an official now.

I don't think you are qualified to pick us.

Princes, please wait here. I will be back later.

So much nonsense.

Out of my way.

I am doing for your good.

If the emperor asks about this, how can you explain your absence without leave?

Princes.

Uncles, wait.

The emperor is talking with Yang.

I need to tell them you are here.

Yang.

Yang Shiqi got promoted again?

Cabinet prime minister.

Send the provisions like this.

If he were in my barrack, he would be beheaded.

Yes, your Majesty.

Yang, what did the emperor say?

The emperor insists on fighting.

What are you doing?

Two uncles are here.

I need to tell the emperor first.

The emperor is angry now.

Be careful.

Go.

I think you should go back now.

Come back later.

We retreat to khailas-ausu.

How can we fight on?

The soldiers have left home for over a year.

We have no morale now, your Majesty.

Grandfather.

Uncles demand to break in.

I tried to stop them but in vain.

Don't say like that.

I didn't break in.

Maybe you should go back now.

If the emperor asks you, you will suffer the loss

for your absence without leave.

for your absence without leave.

The crown prince told me to persuade the emperor to retreat.

Not so simple.

Listen to me.

I have a secret, but I don't know if you are trustworthy.

I can do everything for you.

No need.

But it's a little difficult.

I am at your service.

Good to know.

Bring this letter to Princess Han.

Remember.

You can't be noticed.

And you need to carry something for princess Han.

I can't.

Only you can do it.

You have said, at my service.

What are you afraid of?

You let them...

Only you.

Remember.

Don't put it down halfway.

They will supervise you.

What are you doing?

Imperial grandson's wife doesn't allow me to stop.

She told me to give you this.

Why do you carry millstone here?

And a letter.

What's in the letter?

Told you to carry millstone back.

Enough.

No need to go back.

She knows you are my mole.

You have relatives in capital right?

You can go to do what you should.

Don't mention about me with others.

I...

Princess.

Princess.

I...

What should I do?

Princess.

Princess.

Princess.

Leave tomorrow morning?

Yes.

I will go with the provisions army as a vanguard.

I can see prince Han in days.

Bring this to prince.

Tell him, that bitch is on the opposite side.

Yes.

Please.

You don't know how tiring the transcription is.

It's me.

Why are you back?

We got a problem.

I want to see parents.

But in secret.

You go with me.

Your Highness.

Tell crown princess. I have an important thing to tell her.

Yes.

Go.

Why are you here so late?

Son.

Why are you back?

Where is my father?

Sleeping.

Father.

Grandfather died.

Before grandfather died, he summoned Yang Shiqi.

And left him with one decree.

He wanted to leave the throne to his second brother.

And our family should move to Nanjing.

Your grandfather is right.

You really think so?

You think?

If we go to Nanjing, our family will be at his mercy.

Even if the second uncle doesn't kill us, he will imprison us like dogs.

We will be doomed.

Then I might as well go to the underground to see grandfather.

If your grandfather were alive and I was healthy,

maybe you could sit on the throne.

But now your grandfather made a right choice.

Can you win the battle?

You are the crown prince.

I am imperial grandson.

It's not ambition, ok?

If your mother and I die, no one can stop you.

Stop it.

No.

Son.

Your father is sick.

Don't shout at him.

Father.

Crown prince.

From tomorrow on, you need to get prepared to ascend the throne.

You need to tell this to the world.

You need to tell this to the world.

Father.

Sleep.

Stop talking.

You are tired.

He is my son.

I will criticize him.

Son.

Such a big matter, you can settle it with one sentence once for all?

Your father has a poor health.

Don't talk to him like this.

Go, clean your face.

I will make food for you.

You can say it slowly.

Sleep.

Mother.

I am not rebellious.

We are expecting you.

Your father is sick like this.

He still needs to keep dignity for you and help you.

You are so rude to your father.

Your father is dying.
