[ Ming Dynasty ] EP36

What did my father tell you before he died?

He begged me not to kill you.

Bullshit.

My father ruined my life.

He punished me like a dog when I studied.

He brought me to rebel when I was an army.

But I want to survive.

He told me we can be the emperor as long as we are not afraid of death.

So, what do I have now?

My dad said.

As long as you don't rebel, we are still family.

Really?

Nephew.

Because I am stronger than you.

But I will grow old.

I can't wait till that day.

Don't hurt the emperor.

Don't hurt the emperor.

Your Majesty.

Come.

I am ok.

Nephew.

This is not the end.

Take them.

Ange told me you would only wake up at this hour in a day.

I should have been there in person.

But I am pregnant now.

I can't go around.

Queen wants to see me.

I don't dare to drink wine.

Sit here, aunt.

Touch it.

Aunt.

I have the baby because of you.

If you hadn't adopted me, he wouldn't come to the world.

In the past you punished me and said,

no one would love me.

no one would love me.

I would grow old and die alone.

I often cried myself to fall asleep.

I dreamt I kowtowed to you with a beautiful boy.

Don't be angry.

I am old now.

I am not so irritable.

I can't remember that far back.

It doesn't matter.

I will help you remember.

I remember.

I climbed up to your bedside.

I remember you bathed me.

In the future I will bathe you.

Let's make peace for the sake of the baby.

You should drink less wine.

Give me more time.

We should be together as much as possible.

Itchy.

But I have nothing to give him.

Is the emperor seriously injured?

The emperor is sad.

Someone colluded with the enemy.

Open the gate for the enemy.

Take the emperor's head as a gift.

He should be sentenced to death right?

So shameful.

Doomed.

If they investigate, we will be in serious trouble.

In the capital's barrack, it's mostly father and brothers.

All the families will get implicated.

Come in.

Your Majesty.

It's ok.

Thank you for your hard work last night.

I first led the expedition.

But the rebels just broke rightly into.

So I am wondering if anyone of you goes close to him.

And opened the gate for him at midnight.

And he would give him my head as a gift.

Right?

Maybe I should investigate it.

Do you think I should kill all the suspects?

Your Majesty.

What's that?

Your Majesty.

They intercepted on the post road in Jinan.

The correspondence between the enemy and our army.

How can this happen?

Prince Han's army consists of Sanqian battalion and Camp V.

Shenji battalion is acquainted with Guanning's army.

Mostly are fathers, sons and relatives.

So they have some correspondences.

Did you check it?

No, your Majesty.

I didn't turn it over.

You should check it.

It's not a big deal even if we win.

The generations to come will remember we have internal strife,

and kill the family.

Because of my two uncles and my family's dispute,

Your fathers and sons need to confront each other.

I am so sorry.

I don't want to read the letter.

I don't care what's your relationship with prince Han.

For either the country or the individuals, we should stop fighting.

You can go on writing the letters, and they won't intercept in Jinan.

But you need to write in the letter.

Tell your family and relatives.

Those who surrender will get promoted.

Those who wheeler-dealer will be punished severely.

For the rest, they are innocent.

We should retreat twenty miles.

Go now.

Yes, your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Have you seen it?

Your Majesty.

I swear with my life.

I didn't see it.

Hold it.

Hold it.

Take a good look at it.

If they break in again, I will make you pay first.

Kneel down.

Kneel down.

Kneel down.

Kneel down.

Do you know this?

The emperor's helmet.

So great.

You recognize it.

Then you tell me.

Why do I have to listen to your nonsense here?

It's simple.

You just got the helmet.

The most important thing is on the emperor's neck.

Not to mention his hundreds of thousands of troops.

Your emperor is wet behind the ears.

The fight is so boring.

The fight is so boring.

I think you should stop serving him as soon as possible.

Just surrender.

Maybe you can run some errands for me.

I am here with one errand.

Please listen.

The emperor wrote this in vernacular.

He says you can understand even if you are drunk.

Uncles.

How are you doing?

You were not present in my father's funeral.

You were not present either when I ascended the throne.

You shouted rebellion for a long time but without moving.

You don't want to fight anymore.

Come back soon.

You are still the princes.

Don't be stubborn. Otherwise, I will show no mercy.

By the way, Yang Shiqi should come back with Yu Qian.

That's all?

Not yet.

Great.

See, what uncle am I?

My nephew sees me as such a laughing stock.

Within three days, your emperor will reunite with you.

You can ask him.

Why did he write this letter?

He just wants to kill you with my hand.

But emperor Yongle didn't kill you.

How can I kill you?

Take him.

Yes.

Go.

Go.

Brother.

Prince Zhao.

Why so furious?

I have been here for so many days.

You just hide from me.

You want to rebel?

No...

I am so timid.

I dare not participate in your rebellion.

I've been busy transferring troops these days.

I am sorry, brother.

I am sorry.

Transfer troops till now?

What did you do before?

I told you to go out of Xuzhou to deal with Zhu Zhanji

in cooperation with prince Han behind.

Where is the military token?

Token?

Want to surrender?

Can we withdraw the army to attack you, ok?

Brother.

The emperor said.

He knew you would say so for sure.

The emperor said?

When?

When the emperor arrived in Nanjing and told him.

Prince Zhao, you are smart.

Prince Chu could arrest you to the emperor the moment you came in.

But he hopes you could surrender sincerely because of the brotherhood.

Otherwise, you will feel embarrassed when you see the emperor.

Who do you think you are?

Nobody.

I am a little smarter than you.

If I were you, I wouldn't come here and ask for destruction.

Come out.

Prince Chu.

Liu.

Prince Han will make you pay.

Brother.

We are the best brothers.

This is a better solution than death.

I don't think so.

Prince Zhao.

Till now, you don't think the harsh words are meaningless?

Really think you are smart?

So stupid.

Well, let me enlighten you.

You should listen to my advice.

The late emperor relegated the emperor to study in Nanjing.

You really think he is afraid of you?

After he went to Nanjing, all the princes in seven provinces

in south had the backbone.

The late emperor gave Beijing to you with enough sincerity.

But you are so ungrateful.

You still want to usurp.

You still want to usurp.

If people like you become the emperor, what can you give them?

So after the late emperor died, all the seigniors submitted the memorials

to express loyalty to the emperor.

Now we surround you without launching the attack

just according to the late emperor's instruction.

You really think you can win so easily?

Can we make a bet, prince Zhao?

If the emperor can't win within ten days,

you can have my head.

you can have my head.

Impossible.

You have been plotting against others in your life.

But you are being plotted against.

This battle has already begun.

And we are the winner.

We send troops now because we want to give you some respect.

Forget it.

We can't change the stubborn people.

Then you should stay there for more days, to see if I'm right.

Guards.

Take my brother to have some rest.

Treat him well.

But don't let him go.

Go.

Yes.

Lancers. Charge.

Lancers. Charge.

Lancers. Charge.

Come, brother.

Come...

What are they doing?

Your Majesty. Punish me.

Your Majesty. Punish me.

Your Majesty. Punish me.

Free of punishment.

Free of punishment.

Free of punishment.

Free of punishment.

They want to rebel?

Crossbowmen.

Forget it, prince.

Forget it, prince.

Forget it, prince.

No.

Get away from me.

The emperor made the promise.

Prince.

The emperor won't punish us.

The emperor won't punish us.

Get away from me. You want to rebel?

Prince.

Prince.

You all are Ming's people.

You all are Ming's people.

Put down your weapons.

Stop the war.

You all are Ming's people.

Put down your weapons.

Truce.

Prince.

Princ...

Prince.

Go away.

Prince.

Prince.

Prince.

Out of my way.

Prince...

I have millions of soldiers.

How can I lose?

No.

All the brothers of Sanqian battalion and Camp V.

I fought hard with you outside the Pass.

At that time, we fought for our descendants.

We will go to where the flag in my hand points.

But now we are killing our compatriots.

Your fathers are over there.

Sons are here.

Elder brothers are here.

Younger brothers are over there.

Five expeditions.

So many people died.

Is it not enough?

I promise you.

Put down weapons and go back home.

I won't punish anyone.

Hooray.

Hooray.

Hooray.

Hooray.

Hooray.

Hooray.

Hooray.

Long live the emperor.

It's the emperor's oral decree.

Queen, no red tape.

It's ok.

His Majesty.

Ok.

Imperial oral decree.

The battle is over, and it goes on smoothly.

The emperor is so concerned about your health.

And the incoming crown prince.

Here are some gifts for you.

The nourishing wild ginseng wine from prince Qi.

It's good for your pregnancy.

You can drink everyday.

You can tell me what you need.

The emperor will give you all.

Thank the emperor.

I can't kowtow now.

Crown prince will kowtow for me in the future.

I don't need anything.

I hope the emperor will return soon.

The world enjoys peace.

That's all.

Queen.

The emperor is so good to you.

This time they take over the Shandong army.

The emperor is so busy that he can sleep only for two hours every day.

He still remembers to give you the medicinal liquor quickly.

Queen.

You should take care of yourself.

And give birth to the crown prince.

I am here to give you my congratulations in advance.

Imperial concubine.

Why are you so late?

What a sot you are!

Call me to drink with you at midnight.

Hurry.

Drink less.

Don't forget you just get pregnant.

Tonight I am too excited to sleep.

Do you know?

The emperor is so impatient to make my son the crown prince.

He is the eldest son.

It's perfectly normal.

You are so drunk.

Sit down.

Drink with me.

Drink with me.

Get some wine.

Get some wine.

Go.

I can do it myself.

Do you know?

Today when the emperor told me this.

I was thinking if only my parents were alive.

You should be happy.

Why are you...

In the future I will convince the emperor

to confer my parents the posthumous title.

Queen's parents are relatives.

They have a place in the ancestral temple.

They have a place in the ancestral temple.

Do you remember I have told you we will occupy half of Zhu's territory?

I made it.

I made it.

Sister.

Come.

Let's celebrate.

Cheers.

Drink.

Aren't you happy for me?

Drink.

Ok, stop drinking.

Don't forget you are still pregnant.

No.

Only this cup.

Ok?

I am the queen.

The emperor rewards me the ginseng wine.

I propose the toast to my parents.

Manyin.

Manyin.

Manyin.

What are you doing?

She killed my sister.

She thought I didn't know.

My sister's name is Xinmei.

She paid the money to bury my parents.

I need to repay her.

I will check it out.

I will check it out.

It's all right.

The good news from the emperor.

I can kneel down or cry.

But queen mother can't deny it.

Whatever.

I think the emperor should kill them.

Ridiculous.

They leave their wives at home and go to rebel.

I would kill them both if I were the emperor.

Enough.

Now he wins, and he has the final say.

Do as I say.

Kowtow more and talk less.

I will speak if necessary.

If they really kill prince Han and prince Zhao, we can't just surrender.

I have an ace up my sleeve.

Queen mother.

Rise.

Why are you crying?

I heard of the emperor's victory.

Now you are here, crying in front of me.

We can't let others see this.

Queen mother, have mercy.

Queen mother.

Prince really gets me in a serious trouble.

They only know fight.

He doesn't talk to me when he gets back.

They left without us.

Yes.

All of them fight for the throne.

They don't care about others' lives.

Yes.

I know why you are here.

As long as your men surrender sincerely,

the emperor won't kill them.

Just do what you should.

I never intervene in the emperor's business.

I am in poor health.

Please go back.

Queen mother.

Queen mother.

Queen mother.

If our princes surrender sincerely, can they go to their fiefs?

We won't mind the small places.

Yes, queen mother.

Please pretend it didn't happen.

We are still good family.

If you don't push in, we can give out the throne.

My husband's health aggravated after he ascended the throne.

Pretend it didn't happen.

Ok.

Give my husband and my son back.

Now the family is broken just because of the throne.

Some people go to the underground.

Now you talk about this.

It's late.

Let me go.

Let me go.

Go.

You brats.

How dare you!

Go.

Uncle, calm down.

The emperor is talking to you.

On your knees.

Bahave yourself.

Uncle.

I just want to drink with you.

Why are you so furious?

You are afraid that I poison the wine?

Untie me.

Fan Zhong.

How old were you when my father took you in?

Why do you betray me?

You don't deserve my punch.

Ok.

Time to go.

Where are you going?

I want to go ask my father in the underground.

Leave him alone.

But you don't mind that I live in the world?

I can do it myself.

It's convenient for you right?

Your famous generals should get their rewards.

Don't nitpick my men.

After I die, they have no other way out except follow you.

They have fought hard with me for half of their life.

They made a lot of contributions to the country.

Don't punish them because of me.

Fortunately, we didn't start the war.

All the soldiers and generals are innocent.

All our faults.

After you return to Beijing, go to worship in the ancestral temple.

I will write a sin book to show the country.

I thought you are possessed by your father.

Boy.

Your words are full of benevolence and moral.

Perfectly right.

Why? Our family has another saint.

You detest your father's cowardice and indecisiveness, right?

I didn't realize until my father died.

He has no ambition to take the throne from you.
