Episode 19

16

Mistress, it's time for your medicine.

17

Let me do it.

18

Your Highness, this is inappropriate.

19

Just be obedient and take your medicine. Only then will I be at ease.

20

Your Highness, Zhao Zhang is already waiting outside for an hour.

21

Let him leave. No matter what huge matter will happen today, I will stay by Xueyun's side.

22

Your Highness, I'm really fine now. Go and get back to your work.

23

How could I lock you up here? If this gets out,

24

others will say that I'm a beautiful woman that brings disaster.

25

Just for you, so what if I get called as being imbecile?

26

Your Highness might be willing, but I'm not.

27

Your Highness, just go back to your work.

28

Or else, Zhao Zhang will really blame me already.

29

Okay. I'll visit you again after I'm done with work.

30

Bixi, walk His Highness out.

31

- Yes.

- No need.

32

Take good care of your mistress.

33

Never thought that this Liu Song princess doesn't care about anything.

34

Good thing that His Highness stood by your side

35

and totally didn't believe her.

36

His Highness only treats me this well because he felt guilty.

37

Mistress, in the heart of His Highness, you're that most important person.

38

Why must you still compete with the Regent's Princess Consort, who is only a wife by name?

39

You think that what I care about is the respectable position of being the Regent's Princess Consort?

40

I said the wrong words.

41

I know that I was too rash that day.

42

But I just wanted to see if His Highness will unconditionally be biased towards me,

43

and to what level he will do it.

44

Even if he knew that I was the one in the wrong,

45

His Highness will still unhesitatingly stand by my side.

46

Your Majesty, flooding has happened in the vicinity of the Gu River and Luo River, killing tens of thousands of people.

47

Now, the floodwaters are still not subsiding.

48

Every day, there are thousands of refugees arriving in the adjacent counties and regions.

49

Please immediately make a decree to release the calamity fund,

50

so we can placate the affected citizens immediately, continue the repairs on the dikes of Shangyang, Jicui, and Yuebei,

51

in order to withstand the flooding caused by the two rivers.

52

Your Majesty, the flooding calamity is indeed very urgent,

53

but we can't neglect the Jingzhou soldiers too.

54

Although Xue Xian has been executed, the remnants of his army are getting restless.

55

But our army's soldiers lack clothing and food, how then are we going to fight this battle?

56

General Huo has successively sent a request

57

to rush the military wages. We can't delay it anymore.

58

Wang Yang.

59

Your Majesty, we have to handle the military raions

60

and also the flooding calamity.

61

But there really is not much money

62

within the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue.

Minister of Revenue: Wang Yang

63

Then just solve the military wages first.

64

Palace Attendant Zhao, if we send all the money to the battlefield,

65

what about the citizens that are in dire straits behind the front line?

66

Are we going to watch how the citizens are forced out of their homes to wander, and have no homes to go back to?

67

They are all Great Wei's citizens.

68

Are you going to let His Majesty abandon them? How can you bear to?

69

The soldiers' pay isn't adequate, the uprising still hasn't been put down.

70

Once a mutiny happens, it's unbearable to imagine the consequences.

71

Prince Kang, even if General Huo has outstanding capabilities,

72

she won't be able to let her soldiers fight while eating nothing, right?

73

The urgent priority now is to increase the taxes.

74

Your Majesty, just leave this matter to me.

75

You must not!

76

Your Majesty, if we increase the taxes,

77

it will surely increase the burden of the citizens.

78

You must not.

79

Chancellor Ma, these our special times, so we must employ special means.

80

I also was left with no choice but to suggest such kind of method.

81

Unless His Highness the Prince Regent has another way to solve these problems?

82

Prince Regent, what are your opinions on these matters?

83

What Prince Kang said is reasonable.

84

We indeed can't disregard the citizens in the disaster zone.

85

What Palace Attendant Zhao said is also right.

86

We indeed can't keep dragging the military wages.

87

Your Highness, what you mean is...

88

Of the two evils, choose the lesser evil.

89

Compared to the future military disaster, the present state of the affected citizens is more difficult.

90

I think that we should first release the calamity fund.

91

Your Highness, you...

92

Prince Regent, that is totally just addressing the present and just letting the future take care of itself.

93

What about the soldiers on the front line?

94

Your Majesty, don't worry. I surely will think of a way to raise money for the military wages.

95

Prince Regent, we are pressed for time right now, how are you going to do that?

96

I still haven't thought of a way.

97

Still haven't thought of a way?

98

Then, why are you promising to do it? Such a joke.

99

What is Prince Kang's suggestion then?

100

Just add an army support tax, and everything can be resolved.

101

It's much better than just a verbal guarantee from the Prince Regent.

102

Chancellor Ma said before that increasing the tax burden of the citizens is equivalent to destroying your empire.

103

Don't mention about adding any taxes anymore.

104

Prince Regent, I am also getting anxious for the soldiers on the border.

105

You say that you'll think of a way to get them paid, but you won't tell us the method or give any deadline.

106

Are you just going to let them be happy for nothing?

107

Ten days then.

108

The military wages on the front lines now can't last for a month. Even if you're able to collect money for it,

109

and then slowly transport it to Jingzhou,

110

it can only serve as expenses for General Huo's burial by then.

111

Then make it three days.

112

Give me time to think of a way to come up with the military wages.

113

What if you're unable to think of one?

114

I will bear all the responsibilities.

115

Just saying it is useless. What if Prince Regent denies it when the time comes?

116

Just three days, no more, no less.

117

The two of us can strike palms as proof of my oath.

118

It's a deal.

119

Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com

120

Coming up with a way to collect money within three days, that's totally fantasizing.

121

That's right. Say, is the Prince Regent crazy?

122

Prince Kang was pressuring him. The Prince Regent was just left with no choice.

123

You can't say it like that either.

124

His Highness the Prince Regent only has pure intentions for the citizens of Wei.

125

If there would be no method after three days, the Prince Regent will surely lose face.

126

After all these ruckus, we might still end up with increasing the taxes.

127

The citizens are really pitiful, for they will suffer.

128

Your Highness...

129

you were too rash.

130

Being able to come up with a method to gather the money within three days

131

and it's even military wages for three hundred thousand people,

132

this is totally wishful thinking!

133

You just became the Prince Regent, and you already accepted such a hot sweet potato. (T/N difficult situation)

134

If you're unable to fulfill it, you'll become the laughing-stock of the people!

135

Don't worry. I have my ways.

136

You...how can I get some sense into you?

137

Prince Regent, I wish you success.

138

Thanks.

139

Anle Hall

140

Your Highness, the three-day deadline has arrived. Regarding the military salary...

141

I already ordered people to make ample preparations. When the sun sets,

142

help me transport the materials out of the city.

143

Ample preparations? But for the past three days, you have never gone out.

144

Can't I come up with ideas if I don't go out?

145

Could it be Your Highness used your personal savings?

146

No, you must not.

147

Who is it?

148

What's going on?

149

Your Highness, there might be a spy within the manor.

150

The words we spoke might have already been leaked. Should we change our plans?

151

Your Highness.

152

Everything has been prepared. You should go attend the banquet now.

153

- Shen Yu.

- May Your Highness give your orders.

154

The military wages can't be delayed.

155

Continue with the original plan, but be more careful.

156

Yes.

157

The wind outside is quite strong and you still haven't fully recovered from your cold, why then are you wearing so thinly?

158

Your Highness, don't worry. I'm already a lot better.

159

You are just too sensible, making me not know what to do.

160

Your Highness...

161

Let's go.

162

Lanruo, no need to be too worried.

163

With His Highness around, as long as Princess Consort doesn't make improper comments, there should be no problem.

164

I hope so.

165

Permanent Attendant Zhao, General Shen already led men to escort the boxes out of the back gate.

166

Lanruo, let's go back.

167

- Your Highness.

- Cousin, what good thing did you encounter?

168

Of course, it's a good thing that can cause the Prince Regent to get in trouble.

169

Your Highness, just wait for a little while.

170

The good show will soon start.

171

Empress Dowager, let me give you a toast.

172

Your Majesty.

173

Where is Prince Kang?

174

Replying to Your Highness, His Highness sent words that he'll be here soon.

175

Your Highness, the Princess Consort is very different today.

176

Empress Dowager personally sent someone to teach her. This stubborn stone finally got magically transformed.

177

Just hope that she won't publicly embarrass herself, and put the Empress Dowager in a difficult position.

178

Your Highness, don't worry. I will carefully guide her.

179

Thank you.

180

Royal Mother, this Liu Song Princess is quite pretty.

181

She also looks refined and magnanimous. My uncle didn't really suffer with this bargain, right?

182

Royal Mother then can be at ease now.

183

I even was worried that Royal Mother would blame me for this.

184

How can I, Your Majesty?

185

There are so many court affairs lately that it's disturbing your Buddhist practices.

186

I also feel guilty about it.

187

With the Prince Regent around, I indeed more relaxed than before.

188

But that Xue Huzi is upright, honest, and frugal.

189

Royal Mother demoted him before

190

to a garrison gate guard, for causing trouble after getting drunk.

191

I already returned him to his previous rank. Royal Mother won't be mad at me, right?

192

I have long distanced myself from court affairs.

193

Your Majesty can just decide on it.

194

Yes.

195

Everyone, be careful!

196

Royal Mother, how do you find the taste?

197

This lamb tongue is fresh, tender, and delicious.

198

Too bad Your Majesty is a vegetarian, and is missing out on these worldly delicacies.

199

As long as Royal Mother likes it, I am already content.

200

Reward them!

201

Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com

202

You don't like it?

203

It lacks flavor.

204

But I find it very delicious.

205

Your Majesty, talking about delicious cuisines,

206

I remembered a Song dish.

207

It's called 'lice with alcohol'.

208

That is what you call a unique flavor.

209

'Lice with Alcohol'?

210

What's that?

211

It means that these Song people

212

prefer to go after skills and intelligence and disregard etiquette.

213

They like to drink, and don't like to take a bath.

214

If they don't have any side dish to pair with their alcohol,

215

they would just pick a louse

216

from their head and...

217

Use it to pair with their wine.

218

What are you trying to do?

219

Princess Consort, you must not.

220

What are you doing?

221

Your Majesty, I just want to dance for everyone.

222

Look at their reactions. Why are they being so afraid?

223

So, that's the case.

224

Don't forget what you've promised me.

225

Chuyu, you must not be unruly!

226

What are you doing! I am the court's...

227

- Minister Wang.

- What are you planning to do?

228

I'm letting you drink 'lice with alcohol'.

229

Are there no more laws?

230

Your Majesty! You must give me justice!

231

Your Majesty...

232

Your Majesty, please give me justice...

233

Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report.

234

Look.

235

These chests were really transported out of the Prince Regent's Manor?

236

My spy in the Prince Regent's Manor discovered

237

that Rong Zhi had opened his treasury

238

and kept making inventories on his assets.

239

It shows that to help Huo Xuan, he's willing to use his private savings.

240

Now that the Prince Regent has lost these valuables,

241

he won't be able to resolve the problem with the military wages.

242

All his bold promises before have turned into just a joke.

243

Tell me. Won't he be greatly embarrassed by this?

244

Not just getting embarrassed.

245

Not just getting embarrassed?

246

Rong Zhi has always liked to pretend to be innocent and dignified.

247

Never thought that privately, he was able to accumulate that much wealth.

248

If His Majesty sees the valuables inside these chests,

249

he surely will be very surprised

250

that his honest Prince Regent is actually a greedy borer.

251

You're saying...

252

Later, make an inventory.

253

Bring the chests and enter the palace with me.

254

His Majesty has arrived!

255

Your Majesty.

256

Prince Regent, are these chests the military wages that you lost?

257

Yes. I meticulously prepared them, but never thought that they will get robbed midway.

258

Good thing I already guarded against it.

259

I placed some sand below the chests...

260

and therefore, was able to follow them up to here.

261

Your Majesty...

262

- Prince Kang.

- Your Majesty.

263

What were you trying to do in robbing the military wages?

264

Are you planning to overturn my rule!

265

Your Majesty, please let me explain.

266

I did it for the sake of the Wei empire.

267

Tell me. I really want to see what lies you can still come up with.

268

I didn't see the Prince Regent go out of his manor,

269

yet he openly gave out his words, so I was worried.

270

I especially monitored his moves.

271

Today, I received a tip that

272

just to solve Huo Xuan's problem and to get her to his side, the Prince Regent

273

didn't mind using his personal savings with a strong sense of righteousness.

274

After giving it some thought, I found it to be wrong.

275

How is it wrong?

276

First, the Huo Army is our Wei's army.

277

Why would the Prince Regent use his own money to support these soldiers?

278

Unless, he and Huo Xuan has long been colluding.

279

These 300,000 men have become their men.

280

Second, hoe can one fill up a huge gap

281

like military wages for 300,000 soldiers

282

just relying on Prince Regent's usual salary?

283

Unless Prince Regent has raked in money from illegal means beforehand.

284

That's why, because of so many suspicions, I sent some men to investigate it.

285

Now, the truth is out and it was indeed shocking.

286

Your Majesty, look at these chests. These are all Prince Regents valuables,

287

and are also valuables extorted from the citizens.

288

Now, he wants to use these money

289

to convert Wei's army as his personal army.

290

With such intentions, he should be executed.

291

You...

292

Why didn't you say so earlier?

293

This is using one's official authority for personal gains and harboring rebellious intentions.

294

Considering the long years of affection that we had, how can I bear to accuse him?

295

That's why, I hesitated and didn't even attend the banquet.

296

I was afraid that if I didn't handle this properly, it will lead to a family breaking up, a ruler and his subject getting divided,

297

and most importantly, anger Prince Regent that he might either break the net or let the fish die (all will end up hurt) and will stop at nothing to kill me.

298

Prince Regent, do you have anything to say?

299

- Shen Yu!

- I'm here.

300

Personally open the chests.

301

Let His Majesty see what is really inside.

302

Yes.

303

Jeez, so stinky.

304

Horse dung. What's that smell?

305

Prince Kang, look at it well.

306

This is your personally claimed evidence of me embezzling money and bribing the military.

307

Open them. Open them all!

308

Your Majesty, smelling this scent...

309

It seems to be just horse dung that's common in our military camps.

310

Open them!

311

There are a total of 20 chests here and all have horse dung in them. Don't bother looking anymore.

312

No. How could this have happened?

313

It must be a trap that Prince Regent devised to frame us!

314

It must be!

315

It clearly you who gauged the heart of a gentleman with your own vile heart.

316

Stupid.

317

Prince Regent, what does these mean?

318

Your Majesty, I totally have no intentions to set up Prince Kang.

319

Your Majesty, this must be him deliberately playing tricks on us!

320

How come all these chests are filled with horse dung?

321

I promised before that after 3 days,

322

I surely will come up with a way to gather the military wages.

323

- These horse dung is the important solution to the problem.

- Just horse dung?

324

Yes. 20 chests are way not enough.

325

But in the Imperial Stable, from the different government officials and officers, from the noble and rich families,

326

and the numerous military horse in the military camp,

327

the horse dung there have accumulated for many years without any place to put them in.

328

We can gather them to be used as fertilizers.

329

At the very least, this can diminish the urgent needs of the soldiers in the front line.

330

But are horse dung worth anything now?

331

It does. The farmers can use them to farm. The rich families can use them to fertilize their peonies.

332

As long as the amount is enough, we can sell it a high price.

333

That sounded something that no one could have imagined.

334

Your Majesty, what Prince Regent did is called two birds with one stone.

335

This method is indeed very clever.

336

Two birds with one stone? I'm a bit confused now.

337

Prince Regent will sell the horse dung to earn money.

338

One, it can diminish the urgent need for the military wages in the front line.

339

Second, it can give the enemies of our Wei psychological threat.

340

The more horse dung our Wei has,

341

equates to us having a lot of horses. The more horses we have, the more cavalries we have.

342

This proves our Wei's advantage in overrunning the whole world.

343

That's why, won't the enemies be afraid?

344

It's just that this method of selling horse dung to sell money that Prince Regent came up with

345

will decrease the might reputation of our Wei a little if it gets out.

346

If it can keep our soldiers warm and full, keep the citizens safe and sound, so what if they will laugh at us?

347

Moreover, the idea came from me.

348

If they will laugh, they wouldn't be laughing at His Majesty.

349

I am bent on being this horse dung Prince Regent.

350

Don't anyone try to stop me.

351

- Dung Prince Regent?

- Yes.

352

Uncle, how can you even come up with that?

353

Too bad that the painstaking effort of the Prince Regent

354

got misunderstood by Prince Kang.

355

It really makes one feel pain in the heart and head. (feel very distressed)

356

Your Highness! I...

357

Prince Regent, I was muddled for a moment and blamed you wrongly.

358

It was all my fault. You are a magnanimous person.

359

Forgive me this time.

360

There is nothing better than being able to admit one's mistakes and mend them. There's also no need for forgiveness between us.

361

Prince Kang, please rise.

362

What Prince Kang did today showed his disregard for the general interest and the principles of appropriateness.

363

You have forgiven him, but I haven't!

364

I was wrong. May Your Majesty punish me.

365

Starting today, just stay in your house and reflect on your actions.

366

Just come out once you're brain is clear!

367

Yes.

368

Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com

369

Prince Regent, such a good trick.

370

Prince Kang, no need to be angry.

371

I still haven't made you pay for sending people to assassinate the Liu Song princess.

372

This time...you transported back the chest loads of horse dung.

373

- Who can you blame?

- Assassinate the Liu Song princess? Where is your evidence?

374

What you sent are all suicide assassins. How can there be any evidence?

375

But there is no constant thing in life. You will eventually leave a trace.

376

Keep watch of this cousin of yours well.

377

If he creates trouble again, you might not be able to contain it.

378

If you like the horse dung, I'll leave them to you.

379

In passing, fix your manor's doors too.

380

Earlier, when Shen Yu entered, he carelessly destroyed them.

381

Shen Yu, let's go.

382

Your Highness, are we just going to endure it like this?

383

You stupidly fell into their trap! You still have the nerve to talk to me?!

384

Okay. Get up. Come. Get up...

385

Nothing to be depressed about.

386

We also earned something from this.

387

Earned something?

388

You think that these horse dung can really come up with salaries for 300,000 soldiers?

389

These senseless tricks

390

can at most last for 10 plus days.

391

All of Rong Zhi's actions today

392

just proved how diffident he is.

393

Let's just wait and see. The army just relying on horse dung

394

won't be able to solve the main problem.

395

Once the army are starving to the point of gnawing on bones,

396

I will naturally make Rong Zhi pay for this.

397

Princess Consort, although Wang Yan is a bit dominerring,

398

he is still the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a person that can be used by His Highness.

399

You doing that has greatly offended him and made His Highness look unjust and ungrateful.

400

Tomorrow, His Highness still had to prepare gifts and personally visit him to apologize.

401

As his wife, you can't even share his burden. This really is—

402

Stop the carriage!

403

- Qingyue, stroll with me. Let's go.

- Sure.

404

Princess Consort, you must not.

405

His Highness instructed me to take you two back to the manor before he left.

406

Then immediately send Concubine Ma home then. Let's go.

407

- Mistress, what should we do now?

- Let's go back to the manor first.

408

Go back to the manor? How then are we going to report this to Prince Regent?

409

Just report it truthfully.

410

- Mister, do you want to buy some flowers?

- These flowers don't look good.

411

This flower is more beautiful. Let me touch you a little.

412

Why are you being scared?

413

I am an important guest of Song that have traveled far to come here.

414

I have the money. Are you scared that I won't pay?

415

- Let go!

- Why are you being afraid?

416

This is the territory of Wei! How can you dare you be unruly here?!

417

This is too much! That's right.

418

Wei used all means to get the Song princess.

419

- Us envoys are naturally important guests too.

- He's talking about you.

420

Whoever offends me, then he is deliberately inciting a war between Song and Wei!

421

- You are being too much! So what if you are an envoy?!

- That's right...

422

- You are bullying intolerably!

- So what if you're an envoy? You can already bully people out on the streets?!

423

Being an envoy is indeed terrific! What can you all do?!

424

What the hell?!

425

Who are you?!

426

The person who will deal with you!

427

You are from Song?

428

If you are not afraid to incite a war between Song and Wei, just try touching me!

429

Move!

430

Don't move!

431

Look. Look. What words are those?

432

- Say it.

- What 'ah'?

433

It's the word 'stupid'. You don't even recognize Han words.

434

And you even claim that you're from Song?

435

Since time immemorial, people who does bad things feel guilt, so they rarely say their identity.

436

From where did a rascal like you hiding under your master's power come from? So, you're just a fake.

437

Say it. Why must you pretend to be a Song?! Say it!

438

I am indeed the Song envoy!

439

What a coincidence. I am the Song princess.

440

Qingyue, take him back to the manor.

441

Move.

442

[Prince Regent Manor]

443

What's wrong?

444

What's wrong?

445

What's wrong?

446

You still know to come home?

447

You're angry again? How come your heart's eye is smaller than that of a needle?

448

You're still not going to admit your mistakes!

449

Princess Consort, stop angering His Highness. Just hurry and apologize.

450

No need. Hey, let me tell you. Earlier, at the streets,

451

- I met someone pretending to be Song envoy. I've arrested and brought him back in passing.

- Pretending?

452

Yes. If you don't believe me, go look.

453

What? DId you see him?

454

- Just these?

- The rations that Prince Regent sent are just enough for 3 days.

455

Give me the letter.

456

This bastard. He always leave the difficult problems for me to solve.

457

- What did Prince Regent say?

[Deputy Commander: Wang Ze]

458

Wang Ze, let us invite someone for a banquet.

459

Invite for a banquet? Who?

460

After setting up camp here for a long time, we still haven't met with the Jingzhou officials, the local noble families, and those rich business merchants.

461

General, you're not thinking of getting money from them, right?

462

You must not. These people

463

are indeed rich, but are like twisted roots and gnarled branches (complicated and difficult to deal with).

464

If you offend them, that's equivalent to offending the different powers here.

465

In the future, how will you still be able to keep a foothold here in Jingzhou?

466

I also don't want to take away the firewood under the cauldron (take drastic measures).

467

But now, Rong Zhi needs my support.

468

We still can't target them.

469

You know that I've never refused his request.

470

I know. You don't want to disappoint Prince Regent.

471

But this matter is really not a trivial one. How about we think of another idea?

472

As long as I want to do it, no matter how huge it is, I must do it.

473

Even if we want to treat them to a meal, we don't really have the resources for it.

474

Let's go. Go and hunt some wild animals for their meal.

475

Hunt wild animals?

476

Let me give everyone a toast.

477

Today, I asked everyone to come to discuss some old problems.

478

The military lacks rations. I hope that everyone can work together to help us get through this difficult times.

479

Regional Inspector Liu, you are the most senior official here in Jingzhou. Hope you can set an example.

480

General Huo, I've managed Jingzhou for a long time.

481

Although I might look to be well-off,

482

in reality, my salary are not that much. It's not even enough to support my household needs.

483

How can I have money to lend to you?

484

That's right, Jingzhou is not a rich region to begin with.

485

And for half a year, the rebel army kept causing disturbances.

486

The citizens within the city are in unbearable suffering.

487

Although we have some salary, it's not enough for us to just sit idle and eat.

488

That's why, hope General Huo can submit a memorial for us officials here in Jingzhou.

489

Tell him about our difficulties.

490

Deputy Regional Inspector Lin, you said it right.

491

Thinking about how my monthly rice ration was just 2 dan units.

492

But I have to provide for so many people in my house.

493

Even a rat will bite off his tail if it starves.

494

Just yesterday, I went to the pawnshop.

495

I even pawned a famous painting that was even a family heirloom.

496

Right... We can't even live our own days well.

497

General, stop making things difficult for us already.

498

Oh? Looks like I have shut my eyes and stop my ears all this time.

499

I never knew that you all have been living this hard.

500

I think everyone isn't saying the truth.

501

Regional Inspector Liu, basing on what you said earlier, you don't even have any more rice to cook.

502

But I heard that a few days ago, you spent 50,000

503

to buy a famous Jingzhou prostitute to be your concubine. You really can bear to spend.

504

Permanent Attendance Wu, I heard that your household use candle as firewood. Use spices to paint your house.

505

When your daughter got married off, you even bought 10 li of fabric. You really know how to enjoy things.

506

As for you, Deputy Regional Inspector Lin, you want to submit a report, is that it?

507

Good then. Last month, you lost 10,000 from a card game. Do you want me to include that in the report too?

508

This...

509

Also you, Sigong Yu, I heard that you even pawned a famous painting that is a family heirloom.

510

How about this? Our general has always been kind.

511

How about we buy it back in your behalf?

512

This...

513

The military fund is so deficient that the soldiers can't even have a full meal.

514

While you all? You kept saying that you are suffering the pangs of hunger and is suffering unbearably.

515

But in reality, are leading a gay life and debauchery and there are nothing that you all won't do.

516

What? Going in brothels, playing card games, and providing for one's family, you all have the money.

517

But when it's time to give back to Wei, you all can't even pull out a cent?!

518

Deputy General Wang, no need to be that mad. I'm sure that the officials earlier were just joking with me.

519

If we really ask them to give out some money, they surely can bear to. Am I right?

520

General Huo, what if I insist on not giving, what will you to do to me?

521

Don't blame us for being discourteous then.

522

Do it!

523

Huo Xuan, you failed in lending money, so you are openly robbing us instead?

524

What is your difference with the bandits and tyrant?

525

Stop showing your stinky arrogance as the Feifeng (Flying Phoenix) General in front of me.

526

Obediently and honestly kneel and beg for my forgiveness.

527

Maybe I can consider your father's sake

528

and forgive this action of yours!

529

That's right, General Huo, if you want food, it's possible too.

530

If you are able to make Inspector General happy, giving 100 dan units of rice is no problem.

531

It's just that, do you know the methods in amusing a man?

532

- Try saying that again!

- Wang Ze!

533

What you two said is indeed right.

534

If I openly rob, that will be be committing a crime.

535

Even His Majesty will not forgive me.

536

- Wang Ze, move back.

- General.

537

Aren't you still going to withdraw?

538

Deputy General Wang, a wise man submits to circumstances.

539

You should try learning more from your general!

540

Everything is easy to learn. But there's just one thing

541

that I fear this Deputy General won't be able to learn.

542

Oh? Which one?

543

If without these, how could have General Huo earned the favor of Prince Regent,

544

have deep affection and loyalty with him, and is able to stand side by side with him?

545

Unruly! How can you be that disrespectful to General?

546

Everyone, you all probably don't know yet. Our Feifeng General

547

relied on her unrivaled beauty

548

to sneak into the military camp of Xue Xian's rebel army.

549

Everyone always say that it's hardest to resist the kindness of a beautiful woman.

550

General Huo didn't mind sacrificing her beauty and using her body to feed to the wolf,

551

in exchange for astounding military achievements and a peaceful Wei.

552

I really am very impressed with it.

553

Clever! You said it so cleverly!

554

You all had laughed enough? Then, serve the dishes.

555

Everyone, please.

556

Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com

557

Yo, this sushi isn't bad.

558

General Huo still has such refined and elegant attitude of mind to prepare such a dish.

559

But isn't this bass a bit old?

560

Deputy Inspector General Lin, are your eyes blurred?

561

Not a bass?

562

It's not a bass. It's a carp.

563

It does have a different taste to it.

564

You dare to eat a fish with the emperor's surname?! That's high treason!

565

Execute him!
