Oh My General

20

How good of you, Ye Zhao... You usually act upright, above-board, and stand aloof from worldly affairs.

21

But secretly, you stabbed our Liu clan in the back!

22

Informing Your Majesty,

23

currently, there are some royal descendants holding office in the capital.

24

But they handle matters in a simple and cruel manner, hence,

25

inciting some public discontent.

26

Prince Qi is indeed starting to target him for causing a ruckus in his casino.

27

His Majesty is determined to do reforms. Never thought that he'd start with the royal descendants.

28

When the government wants to do reforms, they just make changes so suddenly.

29

Can Brother Fan suggest one or two good teachers for Yujin to teach him before the exam?

30

It's like this, Brother Yujin. Through an insider,

31

I learned about the direction of the topic for this year.

32

You two are too bold! Privately buying information on the exam topic is a crime punishable by beheading!

33

- Where are the topics?

- Where is the money?

34

Show us the items first.

35

- Give me the money.

- Run! Quick, run!

36

Hurry and run!

37

Stop! Stop!

38

Still running?

39

Episode 25

40

Hey, you...

41

- Stop!

- Stop right there! Don't run!

42

Run! Quick, run! Hurry and run!

43

Stop! Stop!

44

- Still running?

- Stop!

45

Yujin, this test topic seller is a swindler.

46

He recently defrauded a lot of children of officials. His test topics are all fake.

47

What test topic seller? Ye Zhao, don't pretend to be some upright person.

48

Let me tell you this, that you mustn't think that just because one possesses remarkable abilities, you can secretly monitor other people's conversations!

49

Stop sticking with me all day like a sweet stuck to my clothing!

50

I hate you. I hate you so much right now!

51

Junwang, don't get angry. General Ye came to report the crime this afternoon.

52

She said that you three volunteered yourselves to be the bait. In reality, you were planning to catch this test swindler.

53

Right... We already knew beforehand that this topic seller was a fake.

54

This time, we just went deep into the tiger's lair to lure him to the trap.

55

- Right?

- Thank you, Junwang. Take him away.

56

- Move! Move!

- I spit on you! Liars!

57

- Move!

- You...you even have the nerve to call us that?

58

The test topic...

59

The essay question for this year's exam,

60

"If your mother and concubine both fall into the Bianliang River at the same time,

61

who will you save first?"

62

- I'd save my mother first.

- He is indeed a swindler.

63

I'd save my concubine first.

64

Not right either. Wrong...

65

Where's the money!

66

That can't be right either...

67

- Concubine... Mother...

- Hey, where's my money!

68

Hey, Brother Guo, who would you save first?

69

Yujin.

70

The so-called 'Poem and Lyrics" section is just a test of your knowledge of literature.

71

It's a method for an ordinary person to sing out and express his emotions.

72

The lines can be sometimes short or long, just like a person's sighs.

73

But filling up and making lines isn't my strong skill.

74

Junwang, in your life, is there anything that's worthy for you to praise,

75

lament, envy, or even get crazy about?

76

There seems to be nothing.

77

Then try imagining this. In your life, a woman of a kind that you have never met before appears.

78

She's tall and straight, has unsurpassed poise,

79

just like the snow of Yanshan falling onto Xuanyuan's altar, (T/N: legendary Yellow Emperor's personal name)

80

just like how the floating clouds in the blue sky turn into a thousand wispy threads.

81

You are attracted by her unrestrained smile.

82

You are controlled by her, but then repeatedly abandoned.

83

You have nowhere to place this wild desire in your heart for this beautiful lady,

84

like waves towering up to the sky and flooding it. (T/N: idiomatic phrase - extremely strange)

85

Whirlwinds spring up everywhere, the night rain falls.

86

The light in the sky is glaringly white, frightening the bird.

87

That is also a method of expressing one's feelings. If you're able to talk about this feeling,

88

totally reflecting what's inside your heart, how are you going to describe it?

89

Infuriated enough to gnaw a bamboo pillow into pieces, my grievances collapsed the phoenix bridge.

90

Remember this. In expressing through words, there are some important terms.

91

Self. Common. Structure. Simple and straightforward. Complete narrative.

92

It's a way to transmit independent thinking and charm.

93

Yearning has always brought no benefits.

94

Infinite infatuation, frivolous words.

95

Feels annoyed when together with you, yearns for you when separated. If you add one more line, then it's perfect.

96

What sort of fickle, brightly-clad gentleman

97

is close at hand, as they mutually mock each other?

98

Congratulations, Junwang, You know how to write a poem now.

99

Really? I know how to write a poem now?

100

This...so great! I must write it down.

101

It's now time! May all the examiners enter the test area in an orderly manner!

102

- Junwang, please.

- Please.

103

Gong Yuan - Imperial Examination Venue

104

"Teacher for All the Ages"

(T/N: This is one of the appellations of Confucius)

105

The Imperial grace is vast and mighty.

106

To choose a talent among the royal descendants, he especially created this exam.

107

Anyone who is able to reach the required standard will be conferred the title Chengxinlang (T/N: "trusted high minister")

108

and will enjoy a lifetime of salary.

109

May the examiners strictly follow the rules of the exams.

110

You mustn't exchange answers or whisper to one another.

111

Those that will disobey will be reported to His Majesty and will await punishment.

112

It's now time. All the examiners can now look at your question and answer it.

113

Examiner, take note of your bearing.

114

You may not look to the left, right, or in front or behind you.

115

Hai Weining has been promoted from being an administrator of the Secret Library

116

to the Right Censor, senior official under the Office of the Secretariat.

117

This person is very quiet but hides a lot of skills. He knows very well what His Majesty is thinking.

118

All his actions are always on target.

119

That's right. Unlike those of us who only know how to work hard.

120

Administrator Hai is also quite steadfast and serious in doing his duties.

121

The present Emperor always likes to commend him.

122

In terms of hidden political skills, this Administrator Hai is still a small player.

123

It's Lord Fan that's a major player.

124

Isn't that right? Since Lord Fan returned from Muzhou,

125

he was conferred as the Councilor of the Secretariat. He can be said to be rapidly soaring up into the clouds.

126

In the past exam, Lord Fan was still reading the test papers with us here.

127

But now, he is already an important cabinet member that can directly speak to His Majesty.

128

Lord Fan's political career will surely go beyond this.

129

Let's just do our job well. If we do well, Lord Fan will surely know it.

130

Maybe one day, he also will promote us.

131

In a few years, I will be retiring

132

and will be enjoying the happy life around my grandchildren.

133

I'll just leave these grand ambitions to young ones like you.

134

Ah?

135

What are you all happily talking about?

136

Lord Fan, good morning!

137

Everyone, sit down.

138

Yes.

139

His Majesty is focusing a lot of attention on this year's Imperial civil examination.

140

Everyone must be serious in reading and scanning their answers. Be strict on checking them.

141

No mediocre person must get in. No talent must be lost.

142

If there are any literary works that stand out, immediately give them to me for reading.

143

Yes.

144

Lord Fan, I have an examiner here whose literary work can be said to be full of wit.

145

- Bring it to me.

- Yes.

146

Lord Fan, please read it.

147

You may return now.

148

Yes.

149

Okay.

150

Liu Yong

151

Liu Yong?

152

Liu Yong is really a remarkable talent for the ages.

153

Liu Yong?

154

If I remember it correctly, this must be his third time taking the exam.

155

This person only knows to fool around in brothel streets all day. This person shouldn't be hired.

156

Your Majesty.

157

Liu Yong

158

Liu Yong indeed lives a loose life, but he is undeniably a remarkable talent.

159

It's exactly because he repeatedly failed the Imperial civil exam, that's why he became wilder and unrestrained.

160

May Your Majesty reconsider.

161

If a person like Liu Yong becomes an official in my government,

162

how can he be a role model to his subjects?

163

He will only increase their bad habits, taint the reputation of government officials,

164

and be a bad influence to everyone.

165

Your Majesty—

166

Favored Subject Fan, do you have anything else to say?

167

- I—

- Favored Subject Fan,

168

I asked you to fully handle the Imperial civil exam

169

so you can choose talents for my government

170

and not to choose them based on your own liking.

171

Do you understand?

172

I understand.

173

The Secretariat has a lot of matters to handle and the reformation hasn't been started yet.

174

There are still a lot of things waiting for you today. Favored Subject Fan,

175

don't let Liu Yong's matter affect what's more important.

176

The government stage should be left to those people who have real talent and knowledge,

177

and not to those who have some talent, but have a lot of bad traits.

178

They would exert only a third of their effort in doing their job, while I have to exert more in cleaning up their mess.

179

How could a person like that be a part of my government?

180

Of course, for weird geniuses like Liu Yong,

181

it's not that I don't like them all the time.

182

I just have too many things to do right now and have no time to care about them.

183

Once the internal and external aspects of the government have settled down, I'll then give them another chance.

184

Your Majesty is magnanimous and has good foresight. I was too narrow-minded.

185

Favored Subject Fan, immediately activate the implementation of the reforms.

186

This is my written decree. Just be at ease in doing them.

187

I will obey.

188

I will take my leave.

189

Enjoying the distractions and hours of dalliance to compensate for my disappointment. The prime of one’s life is too short.

190

I can endure to barter empty fame for the pleasures of good wine and sweet song.

191

His Majesty wants me to keep enjoying good wines and sweet songs.

192

I'll keep enjoying them then.

193

Brother Liu, drink less.

194

My money is still money.

195

If you get drunk later, who will take you home?

196

Okay. I'll follow the Imperial decree in continuing with writing my lyrics and make one song a day.

197

Listen well.

198

Above the mountain ridge, the clouds flutter about the sunset. On the river bank at night, the evening mist grows heavy.

199

Before me are a thousand li of mist-covered waters. I lean on the rails and look at them for a long time.

200

In that far-away capital, there is a fairy-like beautiful lady.

201

Since we have separated, I have no letters about her.

202

My deep longing stirs, recalling all those

203

beautiful memories from when we were together.

204

Who knew that being together or separating was not within our control.

205

All that happiness before has now become sorrow and grievances.

206

I'm tired today.

207

Tomorrow, I'll continue to make lyrics as ordered by the Imperial decree.

208

Brother Liu.

209

He's drunk that fast?

210

I should take you back to the inn.

211

Why is he so heavy?

212

Why is he...so heavy!

213

Why is Master Liu in this condition?

214

Why are you here?

215

I heard from Xiao Xiazi that Master Liu called you out here for drinks. I came to take a look.

216

Are you worried that I would get drunk and go crazy?

217

If one is not in a good mood, it's easy to get drunk.

218

But looking at you, you seem to be in a good mood.

219

Whether I'm in a good mood or not, it's none of your business.

220

He drank all my wine. I couldn't stop him.

221

The carriages are waiting out there.

222

One is to take Master Liu back to the inn. The other is to take you home.

223

What about you?

224

Of course, I will go home with you in the same carriage.

225

Going home is good. Going home...

226

So...let's go home.

227

Let's go home.

228

Master Liu.

229

Mother.

230

My son is here.

231

Greetings to Mother.

232

Come and sit down.

233

Mother, I was one of the top exam-takers and I obtained the Chengxinlang position.

234

Mother, don't worry.

235

Okay.

236

Yujin has skillful moves. He brought our Zhao family

237

such exciting news. I feel happy for you.

238

Your father, who is in heaven, will definitely be proud of you.

239

Congratulations to Brother-in-law Yujin for being included in the top exam finishers.

240

Didn't General Ye come together with you?

241

Ah Zhao is busy with military matters.

242

That domineering woman finally did something that brought cheer to our Zhao family.

243

Son, you have been studying and writing, did it take a toll on you?

244

Look at how skinny you are.

245

Mother, I'm already an adult.

246

So what if you are an adult? You are still my child.

247

Tell your wife to spend more time to prepare tonics for you and instruct the kitchen to do it.

248

Where is she?

249

On an important day when her husband got included in the exam top finishers,

250

what is she doing at the military camp?

251

The military camp can't do without her either.

252

In order to keep me company when I was studying,

253

she has set aside a lot of work. She has been running to and from the military camp and home too.

254

See? My son is praising his wife.

255

Today is the announcement of the exam passers. The Junwang, he..?

256

Congratulations.

257

Now the salary of the Junwang is finally preserved.

258

It's a small matter. Everyone could see his talent.

259

Fox, I'm not here today to rejoice with you over the good news. I have something to ask you.

260

What would you like to ask?

261

You know very well what it is.

262

Are you asking how I guessed the whereabouts of Lila?

263

We have been in battles together for eight years.

264

The degree that we know each other has far surpassed that of our families.

265

Ever since you returned to the capital, you have been behaving strangely.

266

You come and go like a shadow, and your whereabouts are suspicious.

267

You will finally now tell me why.

268

General.

269

In this world, the one I'm most unwilling to lie to is you.

270

The one who is not easily tricked...

271

is you as well.

272

I can give you my life,

273

but I can't tell you the truth.

274

Even if you die, you won't talk?

275

It's not that I don't want to. I can't.

276

I will let you punish me any way you want and won't regret it.

277

Cai Sang is in this together with you?

278

He is my spy. He will go along with me any time.

279

Fine.

280

Starting from today, I won't ask you anything again.

281

But there are many eyes in the capital. Be extra careful.

282

General. By saying this, I think you are worried about me.

283

I'm not.

284

Lord Fan is back at the capital, let's visit him.

285

Brother Fan.

286

General Ye, Advisor Hu Qing.

287

What brings you here?

288

Please take a seat.

289

Serve tea.

290

Congratulations for the Junwang being one of the top finishers. His was the top grade among the royal descendants.

291

Thank you, Brother Fan, for recommending "White-Robe Ruling Minister", who helped Yujin progress a lot.

292

Too bad that Liu Yong himself was unfortunate again this time and failed the exam.

293

Liu Yong has long been famous in his own right. No need for him to strive to have any high official position or riches.

294

Scholars have usually considered serving their country as their utmost duty.

295

They yearn to help the citizens and preserve the peace of the nation.

296

But Liu Yong's bad reputation is too strong.

297

It covered up his sincerity of serving his state.

298

Brother Fan, you were given important tasks by His Majesty upon your return to the capital this time.

299

May I ask if you have any good strategy?

300

His Majesty is rushing the fulfillment of his desire for reforms.

301

I am currently investigating the reform methods of past empires.

302

You are here just in time. I would like to hear your opinions.

303

In my opinion, the number of officials of our government now is too abundant. It can only go up and can't go down.

304

Also, nepotism is too severe.

305

This is a problem that must urgently be solved.

306

I wonder what you plan to do.

307

I think that what's most important is to first weaken and eliminate the protected family collectives.

308

Limit the inheritance of official position.

309

This is a good idea

310

But this way...

311

...the reforms will affect the interest of the whole government.

312

I fear that they will not easily accept it.

313

If I am to move forward, I will insist on the right direction, not yielding even if I risk getting struck by lightning.

314

If I am to retreat and just enjoy the pleasure of a tranquil and placid life, my heart will be fully at ease.

315

Brother Fan still won't change your grand ambition of serving your nation and citizens. I'm very impressed.

316

If you will need anything, we are both willing to do our best for you.

317

This is yuqiantea that I brought back from Muzhou. May you two have a taste. (T/N: leaves picked "before rain")

318

Okay.

319

Excellent tea.

320

Wasn't it just trying to get the test questions? Even reporting it to the officers to arrest me.

321

It caused me to lose face in front of my brothers!

322

Junwang! Junwang!

323

Master Liu sent someone to deliver an invitation to gather at Zuihong Brothel tonight.

324

He wanted to drink to celebrate your success.

325

Junwang, let me tell you a good piece of news. Your two good brothers,

326

Zhang Gui and Guo Yuanjing, also were able to earn a lifetime of salary.

327

Really? Weren't they absent for the examination?

328

This afternoon, they sent their footman to relay a message to us

329

that they want to thank General and the Capital Magistrate for submitting a memorial to the Emperor.

330

Submitting a memorial to the Emperor? Saying what?

331

Saying that the two of them are very responsible nobles.

332

They were willing to act as bait and were able to lure out the swindler

333

selling fake exam questions that's causing a disturbance on the Imperial civil exam.

334

After His Majesty learned of it, he was so happy.

335

He then especially allowed Zhang Gui and Guo Yuanjing to receive their salary forever.

336

This is going easy on those two.

337

They didn't even read one book or write two characters and they will be allowed to enjoy salaries?

338

Fate is really teasing us.

339

That's right too.

340

They were able to get their salary a lot easier than you did.

341

By the way, what has Ah Zhao been doing for the past few days?

342

General Ye is busy just as usual.

343

I really didn't take notice.

344

Why don't you ask her instead?

345

I'm not going to ask her.

346

She caused me to lose face in front of my buddies,

347

yet she's acting as if nothing happened. So heartless...

348

By the way, Junwang, I remembered something.

349

Qiu Shui said the other day in the garden,

350

the person who was eavesdropping on you regarding the buying of the fake exam topic

351

was her, and not the General.

352

What? Qiu Shui?

353

How dare she! Why didn't you tell me earlier?

354

I only just found out! Qiu Shui also said that,

355

from the beginning to the end, General Ye has always believed in you.

356

She knew that the Junwang would never do such a thing as buying questions to seek glory.

357

Now that everything has been cleared up, the bad stuff has become good stuff. Everyone is feeling at ease now.

358

At ease? You are feeling at ease, but I'm not.

359

I'm going to make the arrangements.

360

The natural and unrestrained Tonglu Commandery,

361

within the mist of the Wulong Mountain.

362

Sister Hong Qiang, is Lord Fan in?

363

Brother Xiaozi, Lord Fan is in court and hasn't returned yet.

364

Brother Xiaozi, why are you looking for him?

365

Mr Liu invited Junwang for some drinks to celebrate that he passed his exam.

366

Junwang asked me to invite Lord Fan to accompany him.

367

Lord Fan has been going to court in the morning and working throughout the night these past days.

368

I fear that he has no time for social gatherings.

369

I see.

370

It's such a beautiful calligraphy. Did you write it?

371

When Lord Fan got demoted and exiled, other than handling official matters,

372

he would lock himself and make literary works during his idle time.

373

I saw that Lord Fan's calligraphy is done beautifully. Usually, I would assist him in preparing paper and ink.

374

When I have free time, I would also secretly learn a few strokes from him.

375

I didn't expect Lord Fan to take me in as his student.

376

He was willing to pass his writing techniques to me.

377

This is really great.

378

Lord Fan personally taught you calligraphy. Sister Hong Qiang, you are very lucky.

379

By the way, Brother Xiaozi,

380

Between these two penmanship, guess which belong to Lord Fan

381

and which was written by me.

382

Frankly speaking, they look exactly like twins.

383

I can't tell the difference.

384

Brother Xiaozi, don't even talk about you. Lord Fan also said that

385

my calligraphy can look like the genuine one.

386

They really look exactly the same.

387

It's a pity I can't write.

388

If not, I could have learn from you.

389

Okay, I will teach you next time.

390

Junwang currently is learning martial arts from General to strengthen his body.

391

I need to go back and serve them. I'm leaving now.

392

Okay.

393

Sister Hong Qiang, I will visit you again in a few days time.

394

I used Fan Zhongyan for he is the popular choice,

395

hence, I made an exemption in choosing him.

396

Fan Zhongyan puts all his heart in serving his country and his actions are open and upright.

397

You mustn't evade the matters concerning the reforms.

398

If there are any urgent task that can be implemented, just make sure that it's according to the rules and report it to me,

399

so as not to disappoint my dream of reforms and removal of drawbacks.

400

Who's there?

401

If you'll do a Shang Yang-like reforms, beware of a tragic death.

[Shangyang political reforms were done during the Qin dynasty]

402

The reforms haven't started, but there are already people who's getting impatient.

403

Based on what you said,

404

this dagger didn't leave a deep mark on the table it hit.

405

This means that he is either lacking in power

406

or was in a hurry and in panic.

407

He was not there to kill Brother Fan.

408

but to warn you. What they used is just some common jianghu lowly method.

409

Brother Fan, you don't need to be afraid.

410

Since I accepted the task given by His Majesty,

411

I've already disregarded my own life.

412

During the Shang Yang political reforms, the Qin ministers

413

hated the reforms like it's some personal grudge. In the end, the reform failed.

414

Shang Yang got executed through pulling out his limbs and head by 5 different carriages at the same time. The passersby feasted on his meat.

415

The purpose of this is very clear. He is warning me that if I touch other people's interest,

416

I will die like Shang Yang, that is without a whole corpse.

417

But Shang Yang made sure that his words and actions were one. He removed all barricades to the reforms.

418

He died but the new laws didn't die with him.

419

I should imitate him. I should follow his steps

420

and eliminate the malpractices. Fulfill my promises because of my deep respect for him.

421

I really admire your lofty spirit.

422

Starting from today, Fox and I

423

will escort you to the court every day.

424

I will send men to guard your house twenty fours a day.

425

Brother Fan, just be at ease in constructing your reform proposal.

426

Fulfill His Majesty's wishes as early as possible.

427

Thank you, General, for your support.

428

It's just that the reform proposal is still at its brewing stage.

429

How could I trouble you this way?

430

Brother Fan, you don't need to be formal.

431

That suggestion isn't good. I think that if you personally escort Brother Fan,

432

people will talk and it might alarm His Majesty.

433

I suggest that you send soldiers in ordinary citizen's clothing

434

to escort Brother Fan to and back from the court. And when it's needed,

435

I can secretly protect Brother Fan too.

436

It's still Military Strategist who thinks things thoroughly. Let's do it that way then.

437

Thank you for your help.

438

I surely will not disappoint the imperial grace

439

and finish writing the reform proposal as soon as possible.

440

Brother Fan, I wonder who's staying in your residence.

441

Other than Hong Qiang, there are no one else.

442

Hong Qiang?

443

Hong Qiang was a singer I bought from a brothel's boss.

444

This child is very smart. She was able to understand calligraphy with just minor guidance.

445

In usual days, she does her best to take care of my food, clothing, and shelter.

446

This is indeed my good fortune.

447

By the way,

448

regarding this matter, it's thanks to the Junwang and Brother Liu Yong for making this happen.

449

Fan Manor

450

Lord Fan, you're tiring yourself too much. Drink some tea and eat some snacks first.

451

Okay, leave it here.

452

General, the night is deep already.

453

I think you should go back and rest. I'll keep watch here.

454

Now is the most important time in Brother Fan's writing of the reform proposal.

455

I must personally keep watch.

456

But you have been doing the surveillance consecutively for so many days.

457

Hurry and go back home.

458

Forget it.

459

You have a husband. If you stay here for a long time,

460

Junwang will start throwing tantrums and getting unhappy.

461

Yujin isn't that insensible.

462

He just has some manic episode once in a while.

463

Looks like the relationship between you two has already reached the most pleasant stage.

464

How come you sound like sour graping?

465

As for you, find a lady to love soon.

466

I don't want to. Freedom is precious.

467

I don't want to be trapped in a marriage.

468

I don't think marriage is a trap.

469

It's more like a shapeless constraint.

470

Before, I was wanton and unrestrained.

471

Without care or worries. Now that I'm being constrained,

472

There is also a kind unexplainable feelings of responsibility.

473

Feelings of responsibility?

474

It's very strange.

475

One day, I just suddenly felt that I'm not willful anymore.

476

I don't disregard my safety like before. I seem to cherish myself more.

477

I feel that I don't just belong to myself.

478

Who do you belong to then?

479

I belong to my loved ones...

480

...and to everyone in the army.

481

I also belong to the future that I hope Yujin and I will have.

482

After you have gotten married,

483

you are gradually becoming like a poet.

484

You dead man, are you mocking me?

485

But frankly speaking, Fox,

486

I must thank you. You have always been helping me solve my problems.

487

Monitoring the status of my marriage. I must seriously and earnestly thank you.

488

What are you looking for?

489

I'm going to puke soon.

490

I, Fan Zhongyan, greets Your Majesty.

491

Favored subject, hurry and rise.

492

Your Majesty,

493

this is the answers that I hastily came up with in response to the ten problems you've written in your decree.

494

There are a total of 10 reform measures, but they are not mature yet.

495

But I know that Your Majesty has been impatiently waiting for them,

496

so I'm submitting the draft first. May Your Majesty read them.

497

Fine.

498

Good.

499

Favored subject Fan, you are indeed a talented person.

500

These 10 reform measures exactly narrated my sentiments.

501

At tomorrow's court session, explain these measure to the other ministers in my behalf.

502

I will abide.

503

I'm taking my leave.
