My Heroic Husband

Episode 36

Wudu

Jingdu

Is there a shortcut to the capital of Jing State?

There is a mountain road to the northeast.

We can get there a day earlier.

If we depart now,

we can arrive the day after tomorrow.

Good.

Jingdu

Let's get moving!

All in time.

Let's pick up someone first.

Jing, Wu, Liang

Qin Siyuan.

Qin Siyuan.

How dare you bring up the late Emperor's will!

You're not asking me to reconsider.

You're clearly giving me an ultimatum.

Your Majesty.

There is someone outside the hall who wishes to be announced.

Who is it?

The visitor introduced himself

the Chief Commander of the Secret Investigation Department,

Ning Liheng.

The capital of Jing State

Lu Chengzhi, Minister of Rites,

greetings to Lord He.

Lord Lu.

Where is Qin Siyuan, Lord Qin?

Take Lord Qin to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Serve him well!

Lord Lu.

Please take me to His Majesty

to present him the peace agreement.

No hurry.

You have had a long journey.

Come with me to the palace to rest today.

We will see His Majesty tomorrow.

Come.

Border of Wu Dynasty and Jing State

General.

Look.

There's Xinggu Pass in front of us.

On my command!

Speed up the march.

Understood!

Speed up the march.

Wu

Perpetual Palace

Following the wishes of the late Emperor,

we had maintained peace and harmony for generations.

The civilians had been living in peace.

I always think about a truce to keep them safe.

Why would I want to wage war?

I'm lucky to rule the kingdom

and to be a parent.

So peace is what I always wanted.

I hope the two countries will stop fighting at this point,

so we can both rest and recuperate.

Wu Dynasty wishes to start from the fifth year of Jinghan

Baili Hongji, Emperor of Jing State

a tribute of 200,000 pieces of satin,

500,000 pieces of spun silk,

and 5 million taels annually to Jing.

I hope this leads to strong future relations,

and thousands of years of peace.

Your Majesty is blessed!

Jing State will be prosperous

under Your Majesty's rule.

He Yuanchang.

How dare you come here?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, I did what you've ordered.

I've asked Wu Dynasty for these terms of peace.

You did what I ordered?

Wu Dynasty's 200,000 troops

have reached Xinggu Pass.

Why are you still bringing me the terms?

What?

That's impossible!

Wu Dynasty has resolved to negotiate peace.

They won't start another war.

Are you

calling me a liar?

No, no.

That's not what I mean.

I mean

perhaps the information is wrong.

Your Majesty.

I am loyal to you.

I'll never...

Take his head to Xinggu Pass

and put it on the spike in the city tower.

Wu Dynasty wants a fight?

Let's

give them one!

Understood.

Your Majesty.

The peace envoy of Wu Dynasty is waiting to be announced.

Another one?

The envoy's surname is Ning,

and his first name is Liheng.

He has a peace agreement to present.

Peace Treaty

The six states of Qingyun was the territory of Wu Dynasty. It was taken by Liang State

Ning Liheng, peace envoy of Wu Dynasty

greetings to Your Majesty.

Peace envoy.

You dare to come

at this point.

Your Majesty.

I'm sure you already know

that our army is heading for Xinggu Pass.

But that's Dong Daofu's own intention.

The battle is now imminent.

My emperor sent me here especially

to discuss with you to stop the war.

Your army is already approaching.

Such a blatant act of disrespect!

Why are you bothering to

stop the war?

I have a solution.

Tell me about it.

Your Majesty.

You only need to give us back

the six states of Qingyun.

Your Majesty.

Why don't you let me finish talking?

If my plan doesn't work,

you can still kill me then.

Tell me the reason

not to kill you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'm actually

a cloth merchant

in Jiangning.

I don't know much

about statesmanship.

I only know how to do business.

So

I came today

to do a business

with Your Majesty.

You want to do business with me?

Yes.

The six states of Qingyun

are Wu Dynasty's border land.

It's adjacent to Jing State.

If Your Majesty is willing to return,

Wu Dynasty hereby promises to

make the six states of Qingyun

as permanent free trade states .

Your Majesty.

In the six states of Qingyun,

we'll set up an independent judicial and monetary system.

Ten years of tax will be also exempted.

By then businessmen from both countries

can all trade here.

Jing State's land

is barren

with scarce minerals.

Yet there is an urgent need to export horses and spices.

If the trade can be normalized,

this will be balanced.

By then, your country will be strong and powerful

with abundant food

and people living well.

Why would you bother to

conquer territory?

My Jing State's army has marching south.

In a few days,

we'll wipe out Wu Dynasty.

As such,

isn't there not much point in that?

Your Majesty.

Because I reckon,

You Majesty doesn't dare.

Did you say I wouldn't dare?

If Your Majesty dares,

why are you making terms for peace?

In the battle of Liang and Jing State,

your state has suffered great loss.

If you use all of your national power

to fight the battle with Wu Dynasty,

win or lose,

the remainder of Liang must be lurking about.

You don't dare to take the risk

on a single bet.

So peace

is your best choice.

Your name is

Ning Liheng?

Yes.

What rank are you in Wu Dynasty?

Your Majesty.

I don't have any ranks.

Can you decide

for Wu Dynasty?

I can't.

But

he can.

What did you say?

There is a solution

to the problem?

Precisely.

Your Majesty.

Well.

You can speak freely.

I won't blame you.

If I may say so,

has Your Majesty ever thought

why could the late Emperor make Dong Daofu

call for war only with his will,

and none of the officials

dare to disobey?

Your Majesty.

You have inherited the throne for 5 years.

Yet the officials in the court

still act under the late Emperor's will.

You are in need of an opportunity

to prove your ability to lead the country.

Why don't you take this opportunity to

set off north with the army

and recover the six states of Qingyun?

By then, all the officials will worship.

All your citizens will respect you.

You won't need to

worry about your credibility.

You think I don't want to

recover the six states of Qingyun?

I think about it

day in and day out.

But Jing State has taken over Xinggu Pass.

If it comes to war,

I'm afraid

our dynasty will be in great trouble.

Your Majesty.

What if

there wasn't a war?

No war?

I have a plan.

It may be possible to subdue the enemy without fighting.

If I can trouble you, Your Majesty,

for a few days.

The emperor of Wu Dynasty

has come all the way for peace.

Your Majesty.

My emperor has come here

because he knows of Your Majesty's generosity.

because you don't repay kindness with grievances.

Especially since

there's a way to bring peace,

why do we have to end with blood?

Envoy Ning, you're right!

Besides,

the Emperor is here himself.

It's a good gesture.

I

agree to your proposal,

but

on two more conditions.

If you disagree,

the offer's off the table.

Your Majesty?

Your Majesty, please go on.

First,

The Emperor of Wu Dynasty

has to stay in Jing State

as a captive for 5 years.

Your Majesty.

Since we are talking about business,

it's all about trust!

How can you kidnap your business partner?

If not,

my mind won't be settled.

And how could I return you

the six states of Qingyun?

Wu Dynasty

will give my son as a hostage.

That's the Wu Dynasty's Emperor!

So determined!

And one more.

It is

Qin Siyuan.

He must be executed.

Your Majesty.

Master Qin is already in his sixties.

He will be retired soon.

On my life,

Qin Siyuan will never

take another step into the court.

Qin Siyuan has always been in favor of wars.

If he doesn't die,

it is difficult to pacify

millions of soldiers in my state.

Your Majesty.

Please think twice!

If you don't agree,

I'll see you on the battlefield.

Your Majesty.

Ning Liheng.

You did a great job!

You can rest assured.

As long as I take back the six states of Qingyun,

when this ends,

ranks

or wealth,

no matter what you want,

I will give it to you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

But I have

nothing else to ask for.

All I'm asking

is to save Master Qin.

Baili Hongji

was so resolute.

I'm afraid

we're out of options.

Your Majesty.

Right Chancellor Qin

is the pillar of our dynasty.

If he dies in Jing State,

our state's reputation will be tarnished.

I know.

But for the sake of the Wu Dynasty

for the six lost states of Qingyun,

I really have no choice.

Perhaps,

this is the best ending

for Right Chancellor Qin.

I

understood.

Your Majesty, take a good rest.

I'll take care

of the rest of the matter.

Go ahead!

Help me

achieve the great ambition!

His Majesty has given up.

But I haven't.

Here you are.

Take a seat.

Talking about Weiqi,

I have played for many years.

Only this stalemate

has taken me five years.

What a shame!

Qin.

Let me try.

Well.

You always play some risky moves.

But

they're also smart moves.

Excellent!

In this way,

just by giving away one piece,

this game can be turned into a victory.

Although

this move is risky,

if I fight for my life,

it may have a chance of survival.

So stupid!

You're really wrong to make this move.

You were clearly winning.

If you insist on saving this piece,

I'm afraid it will be

a total loss.

Qin.

This is not the first time you meet me.

I am a stupid man.

My moves in Weiqi are stupid as well.

About the game,

I have to win it.

And about this piece,

I must also keep it safe.

If there's anyone who tries to stop me,

at worst,

he'll die along with me.

Sub by iQiyi & Ripped by skysoultan ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

Stop now.

The more you play,

the more you lose.

The game is not finished.

How can I run from the fight?

If you keep playing,

it is really a dead end.

Take my advice.

Don't waste your time.

Think of the big picture.

If I can't save this piece,

even if we lose the big picture,

it's not a big deal.

I know your intention

to save me.

But have you ever thought?

Even if you save me now，

when I get to Wu Dynasty

I will die in the end too.

You are a businessman.

You should know that there is no one in the world who doesn't pursue profit.

I gave the secret edict to Dong Daofu.

I've crossed His Majesty's line.

His Majesty won't keep me.

If I were to be condemned,

There will be people who will stand up for me.

By then,

turmoil follows,

conflicts arise.

Emperor's authority will be questioned.

If you just follow the tide,

let me die at the hands of Baili Hongji,

it will be a great benefit to His Majesty.

Similarly,

Baili Hongji

also seeks greatness for his state.

In the choice of two emperors,

I'm already a piece

that must be abandoned.

At least my worthless life can assure

the permanent peace of the two countries.

You should be able to

weigh the advantage.

Don't feel sorry for me.

I will die a good death.

I can

rest in peace.

I see.

Master Qin.

I lost.

Remember to run the Secret Investigation Department well.

Remember to give priority to the court.

You mustn't use the public resources for your own benefit

and commit any crimes.

Go to see Shaoqian for me

on every tomb-sweeping day.

I have nothing more to ask.

You have to take care of yourself

in the future.

Take care.

Take care.

Jing

Hold on!

I'll

do it!

Pass the word to the three armies.

Withdrawal!

Long live the Emperor!

Long live the Emperor!

Long live the Emperor!

Long live the Emperor!

General.

The army is tired of traveling.

How about camping in place

and we can attack at night?

No more delays.

Let's get on with it!

Yes.

Three armies, take my orders!

Take Xinggu Pass

before the sunset!

Yes.

General.

Listen.

It is the sound of the bell.

News!

General.

Jing State's army is retreating.

There's news from the north.

Our dynasty has signed

the peace treaty with Jing State.

Xinggu Pass and the six states of Qingyun

have been recovered by our dynasty.

General.

One year later

Wudu

Long live the Emperor!

As you were.

Peace & Prosperity

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I

have something to report.

Could it be that

the six states of Qingyun under your jurisdiction

has another problem?

Your Majesty.

Nearly one year since the setup of the six states of Qingyun,

Commerce between our country and Jing State

has increased several times.

Cities in six states

are swarmed with merchants.

People of both countries

have gained huge profit as well.

Taxes are boosted more than ten times.

Just recently,

there a few matters that

I have to ask Your Majesty to decide.

Let's hear it.

First,

The remainders of Liang State become bandits.

plunder our caravan frequently.

When our army try to pursue,

they will flee to Jing State's territory.

There's nothing we can do.

If this goes on for a long time,

it will certainly

affect the caravan trade.

Secondly,

in recent years, we found

numerous forged porcelain from official kilns in the market.

It continues despite repeated prohibition.

I suspect the source

is from Jing State.

Thirdly,

The cavalry has recently caught some

scouts from the west.

These are all

started six months ago

when we signed the Trade Supplement Agreement with Jing State.

At the time

it was Ning Liheng, the commander of the Secret Investigation Department,

who took charge of it.

Go and consult with him.

Yes,

Your Majesty.

While Lady is sitting, you're lying down.

While she's busy, you idle.

I'm not giving it to you.

I'll give it to my Lady.

Why don't you ask her?

I've told her to rest.

Greetings, Lord Commander.

Why are you here again?

There is nothing good when you come.

What's going on?

There is some trouble in the six states of Qingyun.

General Dong asks you to decide.

I've got it.

Are you free tonight?

Have a drink.

I'm tied up with work.

I'm sorry that I can't make it.

I might as well not be an official.

At least we can still be a drinking friend.

I'm off the day after tomorrow.

I'll definitely join you.

You can go.

Something else has happened

with the six states of Qingyun.

Even the scouts from the West are there.

So

we still need to add some more manpower.

At the end of the year, we will add some more laws and regulations.

After all, it's where we do business.

People from the north or south

all must follow my rules

You already have a solution.

No need to ask me at all.

Here you are with the wine and meat.

I guess you'll send me north to Qingyun.

Who else would you suggest?

None of them can deal with it.

Besides,

I can only say this to you.

Who else can I talk to?

The old man has stopped handling for more than a year.

He doesn't care about anything!

What kind of talk is this?

Who says I don't care about anything?

Your Majesty.

Envoy Ning is here.

Your Majesty.

As you were.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I heard you want to see me.

What is it?

This is only for your ears.

Your Majesty.

Uhh...

Stand down.

Yes.

Go on.

Your Majesty.

Actually, you don't want to kill Master Qin.

Our army

approaches Xinggu Pass

on Qin's order.

Even if he gets out here

and goes back to our state,

he is still doomed.

But if Qin dies in Jing State,

Qin's disciples in the court

and the Secret Investigation Department

won't give up so easily.

That peace between the two countries

and the six states of Qingyun

will be all going up in a puff of smoke.

Your Majesty.

The reason why you want to kill Qin

is because

soldiers of Jing State

all dream to kill Master Qin.

If you sentence him to public execution,

you will show your authority

and also comfort the troops.

Tomorrow,

at the time of the execution

you can protect his life covertly.

I'll sent him back to Wu Dynasty secretly.

This way,

in the eyes of the Emperor,

he is a dead man.

If he shows up again,

it is the crime of deceiving the Emperor.

But in the eyes of Qin's party,

he's just retired.

He won't deal with the national affairs,

just living in peace for the rest of the life.

In this way,

the demands of multiple parties will be all met.

Only then

can both countries have the true peace.

Why do you think

I'll listen to you?

Because of Your Majesty's

vision and will.

I have very little acquaintance with Your Majesty.

But it is clear that what you're planning is ambitious.

You don't really care

small losses.

Rather, it is the long-lasting peace of Jing State.

So today,

I have the courage to come and offer advice.

Please, Your Majesty.

For the sake of the two countries' military and civilian,

Please reconsider my advice!

I never thought

you would turn to Baili Hongji.

In fact, it was you who enlightened me.

You said

there is no one in the world who does not pursue profit.

Baili Hongji

is the best profit-seeker.

The reason he agreed

the plan for the six states in Qingyun

is because he wanted to take this opportunity

to recuperate

and strengthen the national power.

Killing you

has no benefits

other than comforting his armies.

So why would he do that?

That's why you use your last piece

to create a shared liberty on the chessboard.

You created a win-win situation.

Then you intentionally admit defeat.

You were implying me

that you've found

the way to convince Baili Hongji.

Yes.

Aren't you afraid

that I wouldn't understand?

The best part

of win-win situation

is not that both survive.

Rather, both have the shared liberty.

You can't put down a piece in this state.

Whoever plays first

will die.

Actually,

It's the same as a game

between two countries.

Not only are there tit-for-tat,

but also peaceful coexistence.

This is the way to pursue the maximum benefit.

Master Qin.

You have been playing Weiqi all your life.

If you can't even figure this out,

you've wasted your life.

This is co-existence and win-win,

and the benefit to others and to oneself.

Hopefully, the peace that we've strived for

could last longer.

I feel sorry

for the Crown Prince.

Yes.

I wonder how he's

doing over there.

Give me back! You give me back! Stop!

-Slow down. –No, no, no.

Watch out.

How dare you steal my jade pendant?

That's a birthday gift from my Father.

Stop dreaming.

You're not from here.

No one celebrates your birthday.

Exactly!

You don't have a father.

Don't try to steal our father.

Greetings to Father.

As you were.

Let's go.

Let's go there to play.

What's going on?

They threw away my jade pendant.

And they said I don't have a father.

That's not a big deal.

I'll

give you another one.

They also said

I'm not from here.

Why is my father not coming to pick me up?

I want to go home.

Your father

won't come.

From now on this is your home.

I'm

your father.

Call me father.

Father.

Go play.

In all,

the Crown Prince has come here

for more than a year.

He probably has almost forgotten

where he's from.

Over the past one year,

we have gained huge profit

from the six states of Qingyun.

Our national power has increased largely.

So now we can

start the plan.

In less than a year,

Wu Dynasty will be destroyed.

In less than a year, Wu Dynasty will be destroyed
