The Plough Department Of Song Dynasty

Episode 19

Her highness knows Kungfu?

She knows,

But has been keeping it as a secret.

It is not suprised that

Her highness knows Kungfu.

It is in reason that

her highness can' t let others know

because of her position as our empress.

Demiao kneeled down in a panic

When she was disclosed.

I found

Who she kneeled down to was not his majesty.

It was the empress.

Your majesty!

Your majesty! It's not like that!

Demiao was gonna tell the truth

When her highness took only a single shot

And then Demiao was made silent.

It may be an attack on a vital point, or...

Undead insect.

If that is true,

And then the previous accident

Was directed and acted by her highness herself,

You mean,

her highness

and Demiao

they are on the same side?

How could it be!

Her highness loves his majesty so much.

Why would her highness kill his majesty?

That is

What I wanna figure out.

Wenqu.

Here.

If I was killed tonight,

You

must take over

The Plough Department.

Why?

What do you wanna do?

His majesty has been poisoned.

There is no antidote.

Tomorrow,

The new emperor is gonna ascend the throne,

her highness is gonna become the empress dowager.

If her highness is the enemy,

The consequence will be beyond our imagine.

So, I have to see her highness face to face,

to question about the truth.

If there is anything suspicious,

For the cause of our Song dynasty,

Dongming must have her killed,

even give away myself.

The Prince has a big heart,

and has been being kind to the Plough Department.

If I really killed her highness,

You can tell the truth to the prince.

I think he won't make things difficult for you.

No way!

You can't go alone!

I'll go with you!

We all in!

Me in!

Easy to be killed with me,

however, to take in charge the Plough Department

and safeguard our country

is difficult.

You are young.

Do you wanna give up the Plough Department?

Since it's the easy task.

Please take me with you.

The Plough Department still has Kuixing and others.

They'll keep it running.

Even I go alone could be controversial.

If you all go with me.

They will say the Plough Department is gonna rebel.

The Plough Department

is entrusted to you.

Your highness.

What for your coming, Dongming?

Your highness,

There are something quite confusing

waiting for your highness to answer.

Go ahead.

Before,

her highness was bewitched somehow or other

and then somehow got well.

Demiao said your highness was bewitched with nightmares.

His majesty gave her trust.

But I didn't.

Maybe your highness also didn't buy it.

Go on.

Just now,

When Demiao down her kneel nervously,

your highness took a single shot,

and then Demiao became speechless.

I know,

that is not some point attack.

Then,

What is it?

Could your highness give me any answers?

I still can't keep the secret

from an eye for details.

I am one of

the nine aprrentices of Master Doulao.

You must

Have already known

Who assumed my master' s name.

Then,

your highness is not wandering artist.

That year, you met his majesty in capital Liang.

That was all pre-arranged.

That is one step of the plan.

My master must

insert a secret person in the palace.

That is me.

I am that pawn

What does he want?

I believe, you must

have already known who he is.

If I was right,

Master Doumu

would be the top master beside the emporer.

Miao Qing.

He is also

The first generation Yinguang of the Plough Department.

That's right.

The first founder of Song Dynasty died.

His little brothe took over the seat, not his son.

Miao Qing took it to heart.

He believed the little brother killed the late emperor and usurped the throne.

Miao Qing went against the Plough Department for that.

He hides himself as Doumu Master.

So many years went past.

He can't forget yet.

He still wanna took the throne

to the son of the late emperor.

Prince Xian.

That's right.

Has Prince Xian

participated in this conspiracy?

Can I trust your word, your highness?

Everybody, you can leave now.

Just leave.

Leave.

Go, go.

Your Highness.

I want to go see my father.

Please go ahead, your Highness.

I need to see General Cao first

to discuss how to deploy the guard of the palace and the capital.

Thank you, Minister Kang.

Since Miao Qing has

set you up at his Majesty!(R)s side

before his Majesty has ascend the throne,

and you've won his Majesty!(R)s favour since then,

why it took so long for you to take action?

To conspire for the throne

is not like vendetta out there.

It's not as simple as

killing the emperor.

What do you mean?

My master admires Taizu incomparably,

so he doesn't want Taizu's son

to bear any indignity.

He would like to have Prince Xian

to sit on the throne in a decent and proper manner,

instead of killing his Majesty

murdering all his offspring,

taking the throne by force.

It's so well-intentioned.

So

when his Majesty called his confidant ministers

saying he want to abdicate and pass the throne to Prince Xian,

that was Miao Qing!(R)s trick too?

Yes.

My superior recruited Demiao who is good at illusion.

She made his Majesty extremely suspicious,

made him believe that God is angry at him.

Then I was told to pretend to dream of God,

to cooperate with Demiao.

Finally we made his Majesty want to abdicate.

But sadly

Prince Xian wouldn't accept,

He even asked Empress Dowager

to help persuade his Majesty.

Otherwise,

how could we end up in this misfortune?

His Majesty and I

could finally have some peaceful days.

Your majesty is too naive.

If his Majesty does pass the throne to Prince Xian,

Miao Qing will definitely eliminate all future troubles.

Could his Majesty

be alive then?

I didn't

think of that.

Since your Majesty is good at poisonous magic,

then it must be yourself that

cast the poisonous magic on your own?

But I don't understand

why you did that.

I might be a puppet

assigned to his Majesty's side,

but we're also a couple who share weal and woe.

For all these years,

he never abandoned me,

treated me as good as always.

How could I not be touched?

I have long given up

the original purpose.

But my master,

he always appears and disappears mysteriously.

He comes and goes freely

even in the forbidden city.

I cannot betray him blatantly.

I was afraid he will hurt his Majesty,

or even more afraid that he will expose me,

or pull me away from his Majesty

and find someone else to replace me.

So I had to play along,

but fortunately

he had no intention to take any strong measures

to take over the throne.

So I can survive till now.

When he found Demiao

and sent her over,

I knew what he was up to.

So I cast poisonous magic on my own

and accused Demiao of it,

hoping to cast her away from his Majesty.

However,

my master soon saw through my trick,

and come in the palace to stop me.

I had no choice but quit at half-way.

You mentioned that

Miao Qing didn't want to take the throne by force.

How did you explain

the things happened today?

I've no idea.

I hate this world!

I gave up so much

to protect his Majesty.

But till now,

all my efforts are in vain.

I trust your Majesty's words

are all coming

from the bottom of your heart.

However,

I cannot allow Miao Qing's people

stay so close to his Majesty.

I would rather take the blame of rebel and traitor...

Your highness,

please forgive me.

Dongming, go ahead.

His Majesty's life won't last long,

I don't want to live anymore either.

Your highness.

What happened?

I used my natal vermin

to renew his Majesty's life.

Natal vermin!

Natal vermin shares its host's life.

Your highness...

There is no cure

for the poison his Majesty got.

But my natal vermin

is able to keep his Majesty alive.

Your highness.

The captivation poison will continue to attack,

consume the host's life.

Your highness, what you're doing now

can only relieve yourself now.

His majesty is almost dead.

What's the point of my being alive?

Although I can't save his majesty,

I can at least delay some time.

Thus he can make arrangements before death.

So when his majesty dies,

chaos won't happen in the world.

Your highness are so sensible and considerate.

I admire you.

Your highness.

His majesty's life is at stake,

crown prince is still young.

We can't bear chaos now.

Hope your highness can cheer up.

Minister Dong Ming.

You...

Your highness.

I only know that you're our empress.

As for your identity,

I know nothing about it.

Crown prince.

What you were talking,

I heard it all.

Whether you're a gangster or not.

For me,

you deserve to be my father's wife

and my mother.

My son.

Mother.

Are you going to rebel?

We'll confirmedly follow minister.

I misunderstood your highness.

Emotionally, your highness deeply loves his majesty.

Politically,

they complement each other.

She is a

virtuous empress.

Master,

who told you to assassinate the emperor privately?

Meng Dong said

that you ordered to take him to the palace.

Moreover,

he didn't tell me to kill his majesty.

Only asked me to spy on the situation in the palace.

Could it be

he passed order in name of you?!

I can speak.

Then why you used needle rain?!

Master, you've known the whole thing?

So you were there at that time?

Master,

I did not do it on purpose,

I didn't mean that.

His majesty meant to kill me.

I really had no other way so I...

My hand.

My hand.

My face.

Master,

please give me the antidote.

Master.

I told you at the beginning,

there is no antidote for the poison.

I can't save you.

Master, help me.

No antidote.

Master,

help me.

This poison has no antidote.

It hurts...

This...

Master,

it hurts...

It's the empress.

She wants to kill me.

I asked the empress for help.

She poisoned me with undead insect.

So I couldn't speak.

This...

This...

What exactly is going on?

I understand,

the captivation poison at first had no cure.

But,

once Gu-poison neutralizes it,

like cures like.

There will be such an amazing effect.

I got my martial arts back.

I got my martial arts back.

Take this.

Very good!

You've got your Kungfu back.

Now you're not only invulnerable,

with infinite power,

but with poison all over the body.

But my hand,

and my face.

The apperance is not important at all.

Now your kung fu

is better than before.

But my face!

Enoughlb!

I still need to clear up the mess

you and Meng Dong made.

Master!

Now the situation is really tense.

you just live here for now.

The meals

I will send someone to send over.

When it is the time,

I will let you out.

It's all the Emperor's fault.

It's all the Plough Department's fault.

I will revenge on you!

I will revenge on you!

I will revenge on you!

I Weilin.

Sincerely again,

Confessing on the ground.

I'm guilty.

Minister Wei,

Minister Wei,

what are you doing,

The emperor is tired.

He is resting now.

Eunuch Lei,

don't you know,

If I do not explain to the Emperor,

I'll drowned by the spit.

Really?

Who would dare to disrepect Minister Wei?!

Now people is blaming me,

saying that I am the guru Demiao's comrade.

And even saying

When repairing the Yuqing Palace,

I took the money from it.

That's nonsense.

Now I'm the dung beetle moving the dung

smells all the way.

I can't live any more.

I can't even defense myself.

Minister Wei,

Minister Wei,

You really have nothing to do with guru Demiao?

It was you who recommanded Demiao to his majesty.

I...

I was

fooled by her.

She fooled me.

I know,

I know,

Come on, Minister Wei,

get up.

Minister Wei,

As the saying goes,

A prime minister's mind should be broad enough for poling a boat.

You should not

mind those gossipers

No matter what they say.

We can't control what they say.

If it's really bothering you,

as my opinion,

you

should let it go.

I just can't let it go.

Eunuch Lei,

A repeated slander makes others believe.

Don't you know?

They may not make sweet sugur,

but definitly make things stinks.

Gossip is a fearful thing.

I'm afraid that the emperor would be confused

by these people.

Minister Wei,

If you say this, I won't agree.

Now the Emperor's

wise governing can even compare to the great emperor Yao and Shun.

Who can fool the Emperor?

You're right.

Who... who... who can fool the Emperor.

Didn't you just say it?

I...

Forgive me.

I don't mean that.

I just get so furious.

Eunuch Lei,

I, Wei, have been a prime minister for nearly seven years.

I am loyalty, I can say that.

Definitly have no second thoughts.

I work so hard for the court.

I am

I am not coming to show off.

I, I want the Emperor to know

I

I am worthy of the heaven and earth.

Minister Wei,

Get up,

Get up first, then talk.

Prime minister Wei.

His majesty waked up.

Waked up?

What did his majesty say?

His majesty is not feeling well.

Doesn't want to see you.

Prime minister Wei, get my order.

Shut yourself up and do self-examination.

Wait for my decision.

Eunuch Lei.

Before his majesty, you should speak...

In my opinion

You should go back.

Eunuch Lei.

Eunuch Lei.

Eunuch Lei.

Eunuch Lei!

My lady, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Don't move, your majesty.

My consort.

You've looked after me for days.

Take a rest when you have time.

Just now Wei Lin

came to the palace

with a great gift.

I told eunuch Lei to give that back.

What?!

Wei Lin

is still currying favour with me!

He is so bold and audacious!

Your majesty.

Calm down.

Your majesty.

Don't be angry.

You look so uncomfortable.

I really feel...

It's okay.

I won't cough...

I won't, don't worry.

Wei Lin, he

takes bribes and breaks the law.

Deceives superiors and deludes subordinates.

To be honest,

I also hate him.

However,

thinking that carefully.

I can't punish him.

After all,

he is the courtier

who has been with me for decades.

Moreover,

I am seriously sick now.

Not suitable to behead a minister.

In our dynasty,

we've ruled the country

with Scholars.

Our ancestors' teachings is...

Can't kill Scholars.

Your majesty.

It's okay.

How about this.

Let him retire

of his own accord.

Return to private life.

That's also

a good end for him.

Your majesty are kind.

His majesty's oral instruction.

Wei Lin still made credits.

I won't hold him accountable on something.

Just offer to resign on the levee tomorrow morning.

And return to hometown.

Won't make him awkward.

Thanks a lot, your majesty.

Prime minister Wei.

I've brought you that message.

Take care.

Lei...

You failed.

I have told you

you're so timid and dare not do anything.

Hard to succeed.

Impudence!

I'm Miao Qing.

How dare you school me here?!

We've given you many supports on your plan.

But we still have no news about

what we want.

I'll give you

what I promised you.

But,

I've to make my plan come true first!

When will you succeed?

At first I meant

use DeMiao's illusion tricks

to build an immortal image.

Thus bewitch the emperor to

pass power to the heir of the first emperor.

Using the most stable way.

to change the emperor.

Thereby bring peace to the world.

Pitifully.

Pitifully.

Man proposes, God disposes.

So you still failed.

I

still have a good idea
