Oh My General

Racketeering and murdering innocents.

I didn't expect our Great Imperial General

would misbehave with Yujin.

All the officials scold and complain.

Such an official,

I also show my 'admiration'.

My lord. We found about four thousand tael of silver.

Only that little?

Such a fat job.

Only found that little?

Anyhow he is a noble.

He doesn't show his dignity!

Mrs. Bai.

Where did you get that hairpin?

It's my cousin Xiyin's hairpin.

Why is it here on your head?

Tell me! What happened?!

Listen to yourself!

What did you just said?!

What cheating?!

Then what should I say about that?

I see.

Should say red plum blossoms outside!

Now,

We have to come up with a good method

to let them willingly donate food.

Now that he is in Xiushui,

he should follow our customs.

Episode 31

This...

My lord, this won't work!

What if we become sick if too starving?

Yes.

Stop persuading me. I've made my mind.

-My lord. -This...

You're a noble.

How could you bear the torture of hunger?

Yes. Yes.

If you just have tea without any other food, how...

How could you bear it?

It's okay.

A real man should put benevolence first.

Be a little starving for the people, what's the big deal?

My lord.

Although I'm ignorant,

I know we should feel sympathy for the people.

I won't follow those ungrateful men

who binge all the time

but let the people starve.

I decide to bear hunger with my lord.

Until everyone offers up some solutions.

Xiushui Province has clear and cool water.

Fresh air. And kind people.

Masters in big families are all loyal and righteous.

My lord.

Why my belly hurts so much?

What's wrong?

-My lord. -My lord.

You must be hungry.

You're hungry.

Yes. Must because you're hungry.

My belly hurts so much.

How could I eat anything?

This...

Mei.

Get me up to the toilet.

Okay. Okay.

Hurry, my lord.

My lord.

Go on enjoying your tea.

Refill!

Careful, my lord.

This... This...

Careful.

Now that duke feels not well,

we shall visit him some other day.

Let's go. Let's go.

We better come some other day.

Where are you guys heading to?

Those two bastards.

They said they wanted to use the toilet.

But I think they went to the kitchen to have enough food.

They're gonna starve us in this way!

I didn't eat any staple yesterday.

Today, I've drunk plenty of tea.

It sways in my belly.

I really want to drug that bastard to make him vomit!

I'll rip his belly directly

to see what he's eaten!

Bastard!

All recorded.

Let's go.

Listen.

Duke is so mean.

They're full. But make us starve.

No way!

Yes. Yes. Yes.

No way. No way.

Listen, I can't be hungrier now.

Hurry, let's go find food.

Yes.

Don't get ourselves starved in here! No matter what.

We're from decent families in Xiushui Province. Yes.

How could we be fooled by them for nothing?

Yes.

-But where's the kitchen? -Try that way.

Here. Here.

Split up and search.

Find anything?

No.

My lord.

I haven't found any food.

So mean. So mean.

They're pulling a prank on us.

Yes.

They didn't leave any food in the kitchen!

They didn't even leave a speck of rice for us!

Unlivable!

My lord.

Over the past decades.

Have I ever been so starving?

Yes.

In my opinion.

We better leave as soon as possible.

-Yes. Yes. -Leave.

We have legs.

-Let's go. -Go.

Go. Go.

Lords.

Weren't you heading to the toilet?

Why end up here?

Let's go.

My lord is waiting for you to enjoy the tea.

Your majesty.

It's midnight now.

Please have some snacks and rest early.

Your health matters the most.

Never mind.

I'll rest after reviewing these memorials.

Jiang Lvhai, any secret letters today?

The secret messenger delivered it just now.

I found a masked man who bombed the bridge at Chediguan......

Zhao Yujin changed the route and went to Xiushui?

Someone stopped him from going to Jiangbei.

It seems that it's not peaceful

during the disaster relief.

So, isn't this song wonderful?

You guys have seen things better than this.

Not some narrow-minded garbage like us.

Solutions for this disaster relief are counting on you guys.

When the disaster relief is done, I'll set up a monument for you guys in Xiushui Province. When the disaster relief is done,

I'll set up a monument for you guys in Xiushui Province.

So the people will remember your feat.

I'm incompetent.

I'm willing to punish myself by having no food.

That's right.

The court has given you salaries for so many years in vain!

Hurry up.

Go consult Mr. Hu how to get things done.

To raise grains.

Please give me instructions, lords.

Xia.

Go inform their family door by door.

Tell them that their lords

are receiving duke Nanping's cordial entertainment

to discuss solutions to the disaster.

Tell them to stop preparing meals for tomorrow.

My lord.

I've already informed them one by one.

Great. You've made progress!

Have we had any meat or fish in your home?

My son-in-law Lu Zhengting is a famous figure in the capital.

Mistreating us like this,

aren't you afraid of retribution?

That's right.

Mr. Lu is talented and kind.

He's a first-class butler,

and servant.

Like father, like son.

He's well taught.

Mr. Hu sets an good example and cares about the people.

Here.

Mr. Hu, let me give you a toast by this tea.

You can't let us drink tea all the time.

Only we're full can we come up with solutions!

I'm old.

How could I bear this?

I'm born weak and prone to be sick.

Always lie in bed.

How could I bear being starving?

So, please come up with solutions as soon as possible.

To help us out.

And save the people who are suffering.

Everyone here.

Is there anyone of you weaker than my lord?

My lord has to live on premium food and clothes back home.

But he left home,

he's suffered so much!

It's my duty to spare no effort for the people!

If we can't come up with any good ideas,

we have to be starving like this?!

I believe you guys have no grains back home.

But the refugees don't!

They're threatening to rebel.

With no way out,

we'll die sooner or later.

How about this.

Let us die before them to clear our name.

This...

Maybe when royal uncle and Mr. Lu know this,

they'll send grains here to prevent us from being starved.

Listen. Listen.

What idea is that?

He just wants us to be starved.

It's a sheer farce! Mischief!

I've never done anything big.

I don't know what is a farce, what is not.

I just know you can't blame me even if I'll mess it up.

We shall die or live together.

Sacrifice for our country together. What a delight!

My lord.

It's my first time to such a good official like you.

You dare to suffer with the people. So admirable!

Do you get it, everyone?

What kind of spirit is that?

Our lord suffers hunger with you guys together in the disaster.

If this kind of news goes out,

people will feel so touched and motivated!

My lord.

I'm willing to take the lead.

My lord.

I'm willing to sacrifice myself for our country.

Good. Good.

We really admire my lord's determination in the disaster relief.

But we can go back home to fast, right?

We'll still share weal and woe with flood victims.

Yes, that's right.

Look, we stay here and disturb you day and night. It's not appropriate!

We can go home and fast the same!

Yes.

Mr. Hu!

Easy, everyone.

Meng Xingde!

Yes, my lord.

My lord, forgive me for that I'm late.

Hurry, check upon Mr. Hu.

Yes, my lord.

During the disaster relief,

his majesty feared epidemics might befall the stricken areas.

So he sent imperial doctors here.

Doctor Meng is a top-notch doctor with brilliant leechcraft.

A hundred times better than doctors in Xiushui Province.

My lord. Mr. Hu suffers from inner heat.

It's not serious. That's to say.

He'll be alright without having any food for a day or two.

Meanwhile.

I'll write a prescription.

To help with that.

Is the medicine bitter?

My lord.

It's bitter but efficient.

In addition to materials that helps digestion and cooling,

I'll use some goldthread.

Then his inner heat will go away faster.

Meanwhile.

I'll acupuncture him.

Using our Mengs' Dazzling Acupuncture.

To prevent lord Hu from having a stoke.

Good.

Servants!

Get lord Hu up to another room.

To take the medicine and acupuncture.

My lord, let me see myself off now.

Well, my lord.

Look, we've spent so much time here.

Can we go back now?

To take care of our businesses back home.

Our family are waiting for us to earn money.

There is no grains nor money everywhere.

And roads are blocked.

Who would go to your home to do shopping?

How about...

My lord, how about this.

I...

I'll hand out six hundred kilograms grains.

What?

Six hundred kilograms.

Any problems with my ears?

Only six hundred kilograms?

I've worked so hard reasoning with you for so long.

You'll only give me six hundred kilograms?

Servants!

Serve wine and dishes!

Hot steamed buns and roasted chicken.

Anyone of you wants to have a taste?

Whoever pays the most will get the food.

I want to.

Cuisine auction starts now!

I... I'll give twelve hundred!

Twelve hundred kilograms grains.

I see your potential. Go on.

I...

This table of dishes.

Six thousand kilograms grains. Six thousand.

Good.

Six thousand, once.

Six thousand, twice.

Anyone who'll pay higher?

Me...

I...

In financial position and materials storage,

I, Mr. Zhao, kinda am a top-notch figure in Xiushui!

This... This table of food... I'll...

I'll pay thirty thousand!

That's more like it!

Be honest and take off your masks.

Anyone who'll pay higher?

Me!

You...

Mr. Zhao is pushing himself.

I'm the real hidden billionaire in our Xiiushui Province.

Now let me show my financial strength.

This table of food...

Sixty thousand kilograms grains!

Sixty thousand!

Great!

Now I know Mr. Hong.

You're the low-key yet generous billionaire among folks!

So admirable! So responsible!

Sixty thousand, once.

Sixty thousand, twice.

Sixty thousand, for the hot steamed buns! Hot steamed buns!

Sixty thousand, for the hot roasted chicken!

Anyone who'll pay higher? You guys don't want it?

You guys don't want it? Anyone else wants it?

Go on if you want!

Good!

Sixty thousand, deal!

-Deal! -Great! Congrats, Mr. Hong.

The delicious food is yours!

Mr. Hong.

Slowly. Don't get choked.

People in Xiushui will be grateful for you.

ZHANG MANSION'S SIDE YARD

Mr. Hu, you're finally awake.

Slowly. Slowly.

Here.

How are you feeling now?

That damned imperial doctor.

He made me have loose bowels for a night.

I didn't expect I would

be so fleeced and insulted in my late life!

Mr. Hu.

Look, your son-in-law is thousands of miles away in the capital.

Even if he wants to save you, there's no time.

Besides.

Even though in our eyes,

duke Nanping is a rubbish,

But,

he's his majesty's nephew!

As long as he doesn't rebel,

no matter how he misconducts,

his majesty will at most rebuke him a little.

Let's concede.

Money is less important than life.

Look, this issue...

Mr. Hu.

Yes, Mr. Zhao is right.

I think duke is gonna blackmail us to an extreme.

But the point is,

as long as our families still exist,

even there'll be a downturn,

in the future,

we'll still make a turnaround, right?

Why Mr. Hong is not here?

Hunger made him stupid. He exchanged sixty thousand kilograms grains

just for a table of food.

He's full.

He woke up.

And then he fainted.

Mr. Hu.

Look, Zhao Yujin is really tough when handling things.

But to be honest.

He still leaves us some leeway.

These days in his mansion,

although he didn't give us any food but tea,

he didn't make a clean break with us in public after all.

Here's my consideration.

As long as we hand out part of our money and grains,

duke will let us off.

In the future.

We'll still be the kind and heroes in Xiushui.

What do you think?

We are not his rival.

We'll do as what you two said.

Lord Hu.

Someone get me up to the toilet. Slowly. Slowly.

Slowly.

... Each one of us donates sixty thousand kilograms grains... Donors: Hu, Zhao, Hong, Bao; Witness: Zhao Yujin.

Zhao.

plaques granted.

PHILANTHROPIST

Ladies and gentlemen.

The four big families resisted and relieved the disaster positively.

Donated money and grains for you.

What a touching conduct.

On behalf of the court,

I hereby grant them the plaques.

As a reward.

Bravo! Bravo! Good men! Bravo!

Yes! Bravo!

Great!

Another batch of supplies were sent into here.

Take good care of it.

Don't let anyone else know it.

Don't worry, my lord.

I've been guarding this place for ten years.

Never left any loopholes.

Adviser Pu.

What about the reconstruction?

Duke Nanping.

If stored grains in Xiushui being used economically,

it can feed all residents in the county for two months.

Currently,

I've organized five thousand flood victims

to mend Chediguan day and night.

To link up the transportation passage.

People can get through it in one month.

Carriages and horses, in two months.

My lord.

I've written down

Xiushui Province's calamities and disaster relief progress

in this report.

My lord, please review.

If no disagreements,

I'll send a man to ride posthaste,

make a detour to city Yongguan and then the capital.

To report it to his majesty.

If the Chediguan can be totally passable,

his majesty will send grains here.

Minister Hai.

What do you think of adviser Pu's work?

After adviser Pu saw general kill Zhang Youde

and his son with his own eyes,

he handed out his illicit money,

cooperated the disaster relief actively.

He also worked earnestly.

Did everything in person.

Had meals and lived with flood victims.

Fully showed adviser Pu's talent and wits.

Received good reputation.

Got praised by the people.

The first emperor's dark steel whip is indeed amazing.

In this way.

I think there will be another good official.

General, you taught me a good lesson.

My lord, thank you for your encourage.

Right.

Adviser Pu.

What do you think we should do next to relieve the disaster?

I do have a little conception.

My lord, please take a look.

Good idea.

Implement them one by one.

Things will be better.

We'll set out tomorrow.

Leave for Jiangbei Province. And other flood-stricken counties.

To investigate further.

Adviser Pu.

Things in Xiushui Province will count on you.

You must try your best with no neglect of duty.

Yes, my lord.

Minister Hai.

Report it to his majesty.

Request that adviser Pu be appointed

as the temporary magistrate of Xiushui Province.

To cope with a series of things in the aftermath.

Yes, my lord.

My lord.

Miss Jiaoxing made a huge contribution

in this disaster relief.

Yes. Minister Hai stood out to help her.

He redeemed Miss Jiaoxing's freedom with silvers.

Minister Hai, well done!

You're a good man!

Thank you, my lord.

But my lord.

Minister Hai used your silvers.

What?

My lord.

I shall say thanks to you first on behalf of Miss Jiaoxing.

And thanks to...

Excuse me.

Used my silvers to make him look good?

Unbelievable.

I must make you give it back!

Yes, we're on it!

This prediction stela

was left by a geomancer in the Warring States Period.

What do you guys think of it?

A WOMAN USURPS MAN'S POWER PLUNGES THE WORLD IN DISORDER

This is...

What man's power? The world in disorder?

What... What does it mean?

A woman usurps.

It means a woman does man's job,

makes the world in disorder.

It predicts a woman in our Song will usurp political power.

I see.

God shows a woman will undermine our political foundations.

Look at the stela.

Its characters are incomplete and vague.

But it's indeed an antique!

Yes.

The calligraphy is unbridled.

It must be written by some master in the late dynasty.

Make sure this stela

go directly into the court and be known by his majesty!

The devil incarnate and her husband colluded with each other.

Robbed us of our family property.

In the capital.

They also broke my son-in-law's ribs.

I must vent out the anger!

Yes.

We must avenge ourselves and redress the justice!

But we are humble and powerless.

They're major officials in the court.

How should we take revenge?

The devil incarnate has no mercy.

Leaves no leeway.

She has many arch enemies in the capital.

They're also going after them.

Who?

Although I don't know the details,

according to my son-in-law,

we're not the only one who wants to take her down.

There's also a bigshot behind it.

That's to say.

It's time for us to take revenge!

Lord Hu.

How about this.

As long as you have a plan,

we'll do as you say! Yes!

I'll tell someone to bury this stela deep in the mountains.

And dig it out in about ten days.

You guys will hype up the rumor to more people!

Make sure the news go to officials in the court and his majesty!

My son-in-law will be responsible for the rest.

It'll definitely work.

Understand?

Yes, understood.

Ministers.

Present memorials or leave.

I have a memorial.

Shoot.

Today I heard there's a strange thing in Xiushui Province.

A stela from the Warring States Period was unearthed,

reads 'a woman usurps man's powers, plunges the world in disorder'.

It's said it's a prediction of a geomancer.

Your majesty must review it.

Your majesty.

Grand Preceptor Liu is right.

After the message goes around, the people are panic and revile a lot.

Your majesty must review it.

A ridiculous things found in a remote village.

What's to review?

From ancient times till now.

If a woman possesses a high position, it'll benefit her personal interests but damage the court's.

Your majesty, please thin twice.

Your majesty.

If a stela can convict people and predict life and death,

what's the use of officials like us, then?

Minister Fan, what you said is too thoughtless.

This is a denunciation god imposes upon our Song.

As a warning.

Your majesty, please see the truth.

Your majesty, I gotta say this at the risk of my life.

If such high positions being occupied by the sinister and women,

let them develop,

our empire will perish.

Your majesty, please see the truth.

Look.

I did so many ridiculous things.

Royal uncle summons me back suddenly.

Does he get mad at me?

Can't tell.

This time.

He'll depose me, right?

I think so.

Your majesty have read the memorials for hours.

It's time to rest.

I've warmed this cubilose for three times.

Your majesty, please drink it while it's still warm.

I don't get it!

Zhao Yujin was capricious.

Why does he become more and more ridiculous

after he married Ye Zhao?

Zhao Yujin is like the Number One virus.

Your majesty.

As the saying goes,

that's family.

A couple will become more and more like each other as time goes by.

Back then, the entire court criticized Ye Zhao since she disguised as a man.

But Ye Zhao got remarkable military exploits.

I stopped the criticism.

But in private, many people didn't like her.

Such things are all bygones.

After Ye Zhao got married with Yujin,

they joined hands, supported each other.

It's kinda a good story.

On the surface, they're bygones.

Now in the court, officials often propose to depose her.

This time, she went out to do disaster relief with Yujin.

Executed the magistrate of Xiushui Province

with the dark steel whip that I gave her.

But I've also heard of that.

People are glad that Zhang Wude and his son died.

Ye Zhao should kill them.

But she did it simply and rudely, too high-profile.

Now officials and the others are all mad.

See?

These memorials are all accusing her.

In my opinion.

At such a moment.

Your majesty should protect general Ye even more.

Otherwise, evil forces will be encouraged

while loyal generals be damped.

I know that.

But Ye Zhao is too prestigious.

New generals will inevitably be suppressed.

New talents will find it hard to move up.

I'm wondering shall we train a batch of new generals?

So Ye Zhao can leave the field gradually.

To help her husband and teach children back home. Do what a woman should do.

Ye Zhao was born for the battlefield.

If such a spirit gets stifled,

and she has to go back home,

will she accept it?

I have no other choices.

My consort, you don't know.

Now Grand Preceptor Liu and Prime Minister Lv

are making good use of a stone found in Xiushui Province.

Says 'a woman usurps man's power, plunges the world in disorder'.

Your majesty, do you believe that?

Of course I don't.

But Ye Zhao reorganized military barracks in a tough way.

She killed people who violated military regulations.

Inevitably she offended some major officials.

But I'm thinking,

if I keep valuing Ye Zhao,

Ye Zhao will be more and more powerful.

In the future, she'll unavoidably impair our Song's stability.

On this issue,

I find myself in a dilemma.

Your majesty, what are you going to do?

My lord.

My lady is missing.

I went to my lady's room just now.

But she wasn't in there.

I looked everywhere but didn't find her.

My lady's cloak for outside use is also gone.

Anything in the mansion gets lost?

The... The lock of the underground barn

seems have been touched.

My lord.

I heard you're looking for me.

Wife.

When did you come back?

I'm in here all the time.

You didn't go out?

Of course I didn't.

What happened?

Actually nothing.

Prime minister Lv gave me a box of premium tea.

A premium kind.

Said it's from the west.

I was anxious to try it with you.

Here, please.

When I was not in the palace,

which woman has his majesty favored?

Consort Zhang, mainly.

His majesty also slept with other concubines sometimes.

It's just, his majesty spent more time with your highness these days.

These days, his majesty

is far more intimate with your highness than consort Zhang!

Today, eunuch Jiang came with an edict. His majesty will also sleep here tonight.

Your highness, would you like to dress up more beautifully?

Report!

Guo Fushan from the Ministry of Punishment asks to see your highness.

Brother?

Let him in.

I, Guo Fushan, bow in respect before your highness the empress.

Brother, please rise.

We're family.

Don't need to be so courteous.

Thank you, your highness.

Leave us.

Brother, have a seat.

Thank you, your highness.

It's been a long time since we met last time.

Brother, you went to Nansha Islands.

Made great contributions to the court.

Brought glory to our Guos.

This time, his majesty got me back in the palace

because you shielded me, brother.

Sis, don't say that.

What I did

is just what I should do for our country and family.

Brother, you came here in a rush.

Any emergencies?

There's indeed an important thing that you gotta know.

After I returned to the capital,

his majesty made me assume my post.

When I reviewed a case which was not settled in the past,

I found by accident

that counterfeit master Li was killed by the dagger

which belongs to Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao?

After investigating in public and in private,

I found characters 'huxiao' on the dagger.

Indeed a dagger used by Ye Zhao in the battlefield.

Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao.

I finally have something on you.

Brother.

Anyone else knows this thing?

It's a huge matter.

I haven't had any good ideas yet.

When Ye Zhao reorganized the army,

my nephew was naughty, just made a small mistake,

but at a wrong moment.

So Ye Zhao killed him in public to warn the others.

I sent man to ask her to let him off.

I even went to beg his majesty.

But his majesty didn't show any mercy.

His majesty has been influenced by Ye Zhao for a long time.

I must take revenge on her sooner or later.

Sis, what's your plan?

Ye Zhao killed magistrate Zhang and his son in Xiushui Province.

Also worked with duke Nanping to rob local rich families.

Made all people angry.

Lately, prime minister Lv and Grand Preceptor Liu

also collected evidence about Ye Zhao's mistakes in disciplining the army.

And I...

contacted in private

dependents of those who got killed by her.

To build up the critique.

Ye Zhao disciplined the army,

killed offsprings of officials in the capital.

The number is very high.

She indeed has many enemies.

Doesn't she?

Secondary Imperial Counselor of Chancellery,

minister Li's brother.

State Affairs Counselor of Chancellery,

minister Lu's brother.

Secretary of the Secretariat,

minister Zhou's nephew.

Primary Adviser of the Secretariat,

minister Zeng's uncle.

Vice director of the Ministry of Revenue,

minister Deng's cousin.

Those soldiers who got killed.

Which one of them was not from a powerful and rich family?

Which family could just take it?

Back then, they suffered wrong. Because Ye Zhao was favored by his majesty so much.

Now all officials in the court stand out to accuse her.

Even if his majesty wants to be partial to her,

I'm afraid it'll be hard to make it.

Brother.

Now you shall give the dagger to his majesty in person.
