[ Ming Dynasty ] EP32

It's ok.

It's ok.

Ok.

Ok.

Ok.

Ok.

Ok.

Where is my mother?

You kowtowed last night.

Till your face was covered with blood.

We are so scared.

I can't ask for any help.

I've tried so hard to carry you back.

How long did I sleep?

4 hours.

You sleep like a log.

I cleaned your wound.

You didn't wake up while I changed your clothes.

You have so many wounds.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Come in.

Porridge.

Come.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Is father ok?

His illness...

We take a good care of him.

If he falls asleep, no one can make a sound.

We tried so hard to take care of him.

The crown prince vomited half a pot of blood last night after he saw you.

If the crown princess scolds you, don't talk back.

These are trifles.

So being the emperor is a big matter.

Don't stare at me like that.

It's my guess.

This year, I helped the crown prince check the memorials.

I know you lost the battle.

The emperor has megrim.

I also know.

The army has withdrawn to khailas-ausu.

And the emperor summoned Yang Shiqi.

They transferred Shandong's army.

I know all these.

Now you suddenly come back.

No matter the result is, you won't regret it?

We are married.

Execution or exile, I will be with you.

Mother.

Does the crown prince wake up?

Now you forget to call him father?

600,000 soldiers are waiting for me on the grassland.

Come in.

Father.

You come in too.

Close the door.

It's about the whole family.

It's about life and death, we can't be careful enough.

You need to answer my question truthfully.

Yes.

The emperor really died?

It's been four days.

Who is your ally?

Yang Shiqi, Fan Zhong, and Yu Qian.

And 170 deadpools.

We rule by the grace of God, and the rule will last for good.

You think one imperial decree can make the world peaceful?

It's a daydream.

So what all the princes in the fiefs think?

You think your uncles will succumb to us?

They only listen to your grandfather.

You can't sit on the throne without a bloody battle.

After you ascend the throne, I will return to the grassland immediately.

I transferred another 100,000 soldiers out.

Then I will announce the imperial decree to uncles and tell them about the emperor.

I will arrest them to Beijing.

Among the imperial guards, few of them will rebel with us.

Yes.

They are national troops.

Only keep it under control.

We should show mercy and don't punish them.

We need to be careful.

Controlling the army is like beast taming.

Temper justice with mercy.

We need to know a sense of dignity.

Grandfather taught me before.

So you won't do anything?

Now we have no way back.

We can't avoid this.

Do it now.

You can discuss with Yang Rong and Yang Fu if necessary.

Let's go.

Go.

Long time no see.

Great. Go.

Go, have some tea.

Ok.

Please... Go...

Please.

Ok.

Sit.

Please.

Two Khans.

Please.

Mahamud Khan.

Your cattle and sheep are more than the stars in the sky.

Your reputation is higher than goshawk.

The lads are starting to kill horses.

If we don't withdraw, we won't have enough food for the winter.

Mahamud Khan should take the credit for the victory.

The spring on the grassland is short.

They need to deliver foals.

They have a lot of cattle and sheep, camels to graze on grassland.

Otherwise they will be impecunious.

And die in the winter.

Ming army did not withdraw.

You go first.

And we cover a retreat for you.

Mouth high-sounding words.

So you think we live by eating grass?

Esen.

Give 1000 sheep and 200 cattle to Tartar and Uriyangqa, respectively.

Everyone.

As for retreating.

I want to retreat too.

But now the enemy is still here.

Sanqian battalion and Camp are on both wings.

Emperor Yongle's army is right in front of us.

We can't withdraw until the Ming army withdraws back to Great Wall

If we withdraw now, and Ming's cavalry chases us,

we will ruin our efforts.

Mahamud Khan.

They have retreated.

I have the intelligence.

They have more reinforcements from Shanhai Pass.

All the elites.

They are no worse than the capital army and the Shandong army.

Everyone.

As far as I know, 20,000 soldiers go to central army.

Nearly 100,000 people are on the way.

We might as well surrender.

I think reinforcements are the good news for us.

Everyone.

I have read the history of Central Plains.

Those who want to enter Central Plains, since ancient times

Go from the west of Taihang Mountain and through Yamen Pass to Datong.

Capture Jinyang and sweep all places.

Of course there is the shortcut.

Through Shanhai Pass and right to the capital in one day and night.

Great.

We all know Mahamud's ability.

Your target is so hard to achieve.

We really have no ability for this.

This battle is over.

The grassland will be peaceful for many years

So brilliant.

Central Plains wants to cozy up to us after the war is over.

And reward us a lot.

No one can live by fighting wars every day.

Right?

Yeah...

Can't you see?

Now is the best time.

They have transferred all armies outside the Pass.

Their rear is empty.

We should mess up their rear.

Mahamud Khan, I think you can go on with your daydream.

We are going back now.

Imperial grandson.

No red tapes.

Yang Shiqi is still waiting for me in khailas-ausu.

I am here because I have something to discuss with you.

The crown prince's enthronement.

Imperial grandson's back.

Why don't you tell me?

How do you know this?

I just came from the crown princess.

She was crying.

Where is he?

He's talking with the ministers inside.

That matter?

What did he say?

He wants to be the emperor.

He listens to no one.

But what if he loses?

The crown prince's family.

You and I will die.

If it's true, I will send you out.

How about you?

I don't know.

My friends all died outside.

The affairs of the world are inconstant.

You had friends outside.

But me...

Except imperial grandson.

I have nothing.

You should flee away.

I am his wife.

Now the most troublesome is,

it's hard to tell how long he will live after he ascends the throne

It's also hard to tell how long we three can live.

Now I need your help to overcome the difficulties.

The enthronement should be as soon as possible.

We should tell this to the world within three days.

Yes.

Here's the imperial decree.

Yang.

Lord Yang.

You are here for a military affair or to send the provisions?

Why do you need to bring the imperial decree here?

Imperial decree.

Your Majesty.

Great.

The decree has been made the day before yesterday

that Sanqian battalion finds a chance to deal with Oirat completely.

that Sanqian battalion finds a chance to deal with Oirat completely.

So we could hear the good news as soon as possible.

But you two refused to send the army into battle, as I said.

You failed God and all the ancestors.

If you ignore your duty again, you will be punished by military law.

That's all.

Two princes.

Sanqian battalion can't exploit the advantages to the full now.

Oirat is going to retreat.

But they need to see us go into the Great Wall.

So when can we stop chasing them so aimlessly?

Soldiers are homesick, and we have heavy casualties.

As I remember, I retreated to khailas-ausu with the emperor,

and he told me in person,

that second brother and I would retreat from two wings.

Why does he change now?

We can't fight right?

The crown prince doesn't give the money.

Why?

Crown prince changed his mind?

Or he is dying? A sudden spurt?

Crown prince is fine now.

You come to the wrong place.

What do you think of me?

Crown prince has diabetes for more than one year.

He can't read or write.

What do you mean by fine?

Yang Shiqi.

Mr.Yang.

You are deceiving the emperor?

Or us?

As I know, you come with 20,000 soldiers this time.

Soon another 100,000 will come.

Yang.

Can you tell me why?

This is the imperial decree.

You are in charge of ministry of defense.

You don't know why?

Shenji Camp also suffered heavy casualties.

The emperor wants to add enough reinforcements.

Nowe we still have 300,000 soldiers for the battle.

We don't need reinforcements.

It's not good time for the battle.

The emperor won't send the reinforcements for no good reason.

You are so self-assertive.

What do you want to say, princes?

You can write a memorial to the emperor.

Ministry of defense only listens to the emperor.

Yang.

Please tell the emperor.

I got the intelligence that Tartar and Uriyangqa are going to retreat.

And so will Oirat.

If we chase them now, we will be ambushed.

We don't know how to fight next.

We need to see the emperor tomorrow.

Great.

I'll go ask the emperor.

If imperial grandson doesn't come back today,

I will take the emperor back to the capital.

Can I?

People in the capital don't know the emperor's death.

The 20,000 soldiers of reinforcements won't work for the protection.

If prince Han and prince Zhao take action

in the name of harming the emperor,

all the imperial elites can't stop them.

A mole told me, there is much-salted fish outside the emperor's barrack.

Too smelly to get close.

I don't know the emperor likes salted fish.

I smell a rat.

You mean father...

Maybe I think too much.

Do you think it's weirder and weirder recently?

Usually we see father once a day.

But now we haven't seen him for days.

Yang Shiqi and reinforcements.

What are they planning?

Lead the army there.

I want to see what they are playing.

If they ask, we can say the enemy retreats.

Come.

Retreat fifty miles.

Get closer to the emperor's barrack.

We have room for advance and retreat.

Brother, do it now.

Is imperial grandson back?

Prince Han and prince Zhao will come to see the emperor tomorrow.

We got the intelligence just now.

The two wings of the Sanqian battalion retreat 50 miles and join forces.

When they come, I will arrest them all in one fell swoop.

We will see what they will react to.

Then it will be a fierce battle.

How many soldiers can fight hard for us in the imperial barrack?

If they say they want to clean up those around the emperor,

and surround the barrack to see the emperor,

then we will can't continue the play.

They will die in the chaos.

You don't want to know Nie Xing's death?

You wrote on the letter.

He died to save me.

I didn't mention this in the letter.

He disfigured his face and followed me to the barrack.

I didn't see his face clearly until a fierce battle begins.

I thought he would attack me from behind.

I didn't expect he blocked Oirat's spear for me.

Maybe he thinks I should die in his hands.

Now I need to regret for the rest of my life.

Nie Xing

He will do it as long as he thinks it is right.

He is not hypocritical.

He never compromises.

Xu Bin said, he wouldn't have a happy ending.

He pushes himself so hard.

He is chivalrous.

The ancients said, seek benevolence and get benevolence.

This is his fate.

I won't cry for him again.

If I can't come back, will you cry for me?

Archers, ambush on the both sides.

Yes.

The rest of you, do what I have told you.

Yes.

Long live...

The emperor wants to see prince Han and prince Zhao negotiate the battle.

This is the imperial decree.

Usually, the throne comes down to the eldest son.

So the country could run in order.

filial and talented.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi is enterprising, benevolent,

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi is enterprising, benevolent,

He respects the ancestors and loves the people.

He respects the ancestors and loves the people.

He is dedicated to the country.

Here, I announce he will be the new emperor.

Here, I announce he will be the new emperor.

So the throne could be handed down from generation to generation.

Now I announce this to the world.

That's all.

Long live the emperor.

Your Majesty...

Long live the emperor.

Long live the emperor.

Here is the imperial decree.

Since ancient times, the emperors need to be benevolent.

Yu Qian.

Where is the emperor?

The emperor died last night.

Zhu Zhanji escorts him back to Beijing.

The emperor's decree reads, Yang Rong, Yang Fu

and Yu Qian will supervise the country.

Crown prince will take the throne.

Now we have the new emperor, and it's a new start.

Please come with us to the capital to attend the emperor's funeral.

If the emperor is not popular, the scourge will be infinite.

And the peace will be broken, and people will live in turbulence.

And our court will endure no hypocrisy and extremes.

Amnesty will be administered for the sake of people.

New dynasty is Hongxi.

We announce this to the world here.

That's all.

Long live emperor Hongxi.

Fan Zhong

You have followed the emperor for so many years.

How dare you!

You are so ungrateful.

Princes.

Weapons down and go to the capital with us.

I can keep you safe.

You can?

Ridiculous.

I know you are weird today.

As long as I give a signal, the Sanqian battalion can ground here in 15 minutes.

All the traitors.

Kill...

Why Sanqian battalion is still not here?

We need to get out of here first.

Here is the imperial decree.

Open the gate.

Where is the commanding general?

Prince Han and prince Zhao went to see the emperor.

Do you recognize me?

Yes.

Yang from ministry of defense.

What are you waiting for?

It's the imperial decree for all of you.

Here is the imperial decree.

Emperor died last night.

Now I need to take the throne in sorrow.

Shenji battalion, Sanqian battalion and Camp V

made so many contributions for our country.

I know you have fought on the battlefield for so many years.

Your parents, wives, and kids are waiting at home.

So now we will have a truce, and you go home to see your family.

That's all.

Lad.

You need to walk over your uncles' body before you rebel.

Uncles.

Are you waiting for Sanqian battalion?

I am here to welcome you by the imperial decree.

Please.

The emperor died.

So, where is your imperial decree from?

Did you hear?

Crown prince takes the throne.

Reign title is Hongxi.

Uncles.

I think our misunderstandings should end here.

All of you are Ming's army.

Now we have the new emperor.

Go back to the capital and receive the reward.

Don't kill more people.

Weapons down.

Long live emperor Hongxi...
