Oh My General

Where are you all going?

They are planning to starve us to death here.

Zhao Yujin changed his course and went to Xiushui? Someone stopped him from going to Jiangbei.

Looks like this disaster relief trip isn't that peaceful.

These newly-cooked mantou and roasted chicken,

whoever gives the better price, he'll get to eat them.

- I'm giving twenty dan of grain. - One hundred dan of grain.

Five hundred dan of grain!

One thousand dan of grain!

One thousand dan! It's a deal!

It predicts that a woman will try to steal the power in our Song government and mess up the state.

The Living God of Hell and her husband are colluding villains. They stole all our assets.

She has committed great evil. She must be eliminated.

I'm thinking about training new generals,

let Ye Zhao slowly withdraw from the limelight, go back home to assist her husband

and teach her children, and return to doing proper woman tasks.

Ye Zhao, a valiant person who was naturally born for the battlefield, will suddenly be asked to stop... ?

Telling her to go home to just assist her husband and teach her children, will she willingly accept that?

I also have no other choice.

The dagger used to kill the imitation master Master Li was the one that is being used by Ye Zhao.

It was exactly the dagger Ye Zhao used on the front lines.

Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao. You finally have a weakness that's in my hand.

Episode 32

Now all the officials are coming up with evidence against her.

Even if His Majesty wants to defend her, I'm sure that he still won't be able to hinder it.

Elder Brother, you should hand over the dagger

personally to His Majesty now.

Ye Zhao was strict in managing the military out of her desire for the public good.

Such a move is using one's public position to get even for a private grudge. It's inappropriate.

Elder Brother!

Elder Brother, there's no need to be overly kind.

His Majesty currently is worried that no present generals may be able to replace Ye Zhao.

He is thinking about of letting her go home and propagate her descendants.

If this time,

we are able to topple Ye Zhao, that's also helping His Majesty out.

His Majesty can see the great merits you've achieved in Nansha.

If Ye Zhao's military power is taken away,

then the person who will control the one-hundred-thousand man standing army in the Capital will surely be you.

Wife, our disaster relief trip has wonderfully ended.

When we return to the Capital, it's time to do some serious official matters.

What official matters?

Among the Imperial clan, only I have no child yet.

That's right, too.

What? Still no movement?

I've been farming and planting every two to three days. Still no result?

Then... it might be your seed that is defective.

Neither Xuan'er nor Meiniang have children, too?

For Xuan'er, it was because I rarely am with her.

Lower your voice.

Meiniang is infertile.

I'm always in the military camp mingling with men.

I don't even know if I'm a man or a woman. I don't know this common knowledge of ladies in the chamber.

What do you mean, you don't know? You are now my wife. You're a woman.

Stop acting stupid and becoming inferior to even a woman in the wild.

I think that something's wrong with your brain, hence, something must be wrong with your body, too.

Impossible.

Wife, how about you get checked by the Imperial physician.

Check what? I've been leading the army and fighting wars for so many years.

What suffering have I not gone through? Just sneezing and they're all gone.

My immune status is the best among the army. Nothing is surely wrong with me.

This... could it be... that it's really I who have the problem?

It surely is your problem. Husband, don't hesitate.

Let the Imperial physician check it. Even if there is indeed something wrong with you,

I will not dislike you.

Fine.

- Meng Xingde. - Junwang.

My wife said that there's something wrong with my body. Take a look at it.

Okay.

Junwang, there's no big problem. It's just that your health foundation is a bit weak.

You must be careful to not catch a cold.

I'll prescribe you a medicine to nurse it and you'll be alright.

Did you check properly? Are there any hidden illnesses that are hard to say?

Junwang, this... you probably won't have it.

Junwang, it's like this. For a long time, your blood and qi were lacking.

Your health might be a bit weak. But if you just nurse it well,

I think that all these symptoms will get cured.

Just be at ease.

Fine.

Wait a minute.

Ah Zhao. Come over here. Come.

Come.

Check her, too.

- Check me for what? - Come. Check her pulse.

How is it?

May I ask the General if your menstrual period is regular?

Doesn't it just come spontaneously? There is a regularity concept?

When you have your menses, do you feel extreme hypogastric pain?

It feels like boring on your bones.

- Boring on your bones? - But it doesn't affect my fighting.

How do other women feel when they have their period?

Replying to General, usual women will have their menses at a regular period.

At the same time, their hypogastric area would just slightly hurt.

It's not like the severe pain that you've described.

And I thought Qiu Hua and Qiu Shui were such valiant women. They could really endure it.

So it seems that my situation from them is different.

General, as they say, if it can pass, it won't hurt.

Menses are a woman's life water.

If the timing is irregular and you will feel extreme pain in your abdomen,

it will become a hidden illness that will affect a woman's ability to bear children.

At the same time, the General who is battling outside for a long time, getting exposed to wind and rain,

is enduring pains that ordinary people wouldn't be able to endure.

Hence, you must nurse your health well

before you'll be able to bear a child.

Really great. The way you were howling at me earlier, I thought that I was the one with the problem.

So it is you who has the problem.

Imperial Physician Meng, hurry and prescribe her medicine.

Yes, I will immediately get to it.

Starting today, you must take your medicine obediently.

I'm not taking it.

You're not taking it?

Why are you not taking it? If I say that you take it, you must take it!

- I just won't take it. - If you don't take it, what about your health?

- Ye Zhao! - Find other women to have a child with!

Informing Your Majesty, I've already clearly investigated the case both openly and secretly.

Several soldiers of General Ye have personally seen this dagger.

It is that the Huxiao dagger that Ye Zhao always brings with her.

Even if this dagger is Ye Zhao's,

how then can you prove that it was Ye Zhao who killed Master Li?

Your Majesty,

my intention isn't to say that Master Li was killed by General Ye Zhao.

I just feel that this matter is very fishy.

There must be a huge story behind this.

Hence, I especially informed His Majesty about this matter.

Hope Your Majesty can order its investigation.

I know already. Leave now.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Drink your medicine well. Only after taking them will your illness be cured.

Once you're cured, let's have a fat little child.

Xiao Xiazi!

Junwang.

Stop right there! What are you doing?

I'm reading a book.

Why pretend?

Here. Drink your medicine.

I'm not drinking. I'm reading a book.

What kind of reading is that? You're holding it upside-down!

A general like you can't be afraid of drinking medicine, right?

How could I be afraid? It's more a hatred.

Since I was little, I never even caught typhoid.

How could I be ill? I just find the scent of a medicine

disgusting.

Ah Zhao, what you have is cold within your uterus and not typhoid.

Moreover, this medicine isn't that bad to drink.

Here. Have a taste.

I don't want to.

Don't be afraid. A bitter medicine is an effective one. It's good for your illness.

I said it already that I am not afraid. I just hate it.

Okay. Even if you do hate it,

you can't opt to not cure your illness just because of it, right?

Here.

Taste it.

That's more like it.

In front of your man, stop acting tough.

I'm not acting tough.

Here. Open your mouth.

It will taste better after eating some dates.

Imperial Physician Meng said that you must take the tonic for half a month,

plus supplementing it with proper food, your abdominal pain will lessen.

The Imperial Physician said that you must soak your feet in warm water every day.

Eat less raw and cold food. Eat more brown sugar and bird's nest.

You'll get better after some time.

Ah Zhao, I know that you are capable.

But you are still a woman. Stop acting tough.

But this medicine is too bitter.

I also didn't like taking medicines when I was little. My mother then sent men to tie up my four limbs

and forcefully feed them to me.

After drinking them for more than ten years, I eventually liked drinking it.

After all, one's health is a major matter. My mother is still waiting to embrace her grandchildren.

If you really find it bitter, I'll taste it first next time.

Fine. I guarantee then

that from now on, I will drink my medicine until the bowl is empty.

I will always listen to you.

That's more like it.

Continue reading your book. I'll go cook you something delicious.

Don't hold your book upside-down.

The matter about Ye Zhao executing the magistrate of Xiushui and his son

has shocked the whole government.

Lu Zhenting's father-in-law also started a public discourse about her.

The situation is very beneficial to us.

Ye Zhao and Fan Zhongyan, an official and an officer, mutually help each other.

They have become His Majesty's right and left hand men.

It greatly threatened my position in the Imperial court.

Now is the best time to topple Ye Zhao.

Indeed.

A woman riding over men and acting in such a domineering manner,

what a scandal!

We must collude with all the officials in giving His Majesty more pressure.

Seventy percent or more of the present government officials

were personally trained and promoted by the Prime Minister.

They surely will act according to your will.

This time, let's give it our all.

We must not give Ye Zhao any retreat path.

With Fan Zhongyan's scholarly loyalty to his friends, he surely will try his best to give advice

in hindering His Majesty from removing Ye Zhao from office.

No need to worry.

Since Fan Zhongyan started implementing the reforms,

he has removed the source of benefits of a huge group of government officials.

People praising him as a sage are getting weaker and weaker.

Voices complaining of him destroying the original laws and feudal order of importance are increasing.

Even if he will try to defend Ye Zhao, one hand won't be able to clap.

What Prime Minister said is very right.

Prince Qi at this time in front of His Majesty

just loves to defend Fan Zhongyan.

It seems as if he is very supportive of Fan Zhongyan's new governing policies,

but in reality, this led to numerous enemies.

He divided the government officials into two big contradicting camps.

Now the officer defending Ye Zhao is the target of a multitude of arrows.

It's time to pull out this wolf's tooth.

Let's pull out Ye Zhao first.

And then, gather our strength,

to slowly deal with Fan Zhongyan.

It's advancing slowly and entrenching at every step. Pulling out one's fortress to advance.

Now, the situation is finally clear.

His Majesty has arrived.

Respectfully welcoming Your Majesty.

Rise.

- You may all withdraw. - Yes.

Your Majesty, I woke up early today.

I collected dew from the lotus leaves and made it into a tea for you to enjoy.

Sit down.

Empress,

for so many years, I've never been with you as frequently as I have been for the past few days.

I was happy every day.

Only with His Majesty being happy

can I be happy and at ease.

It's all my fault. I was cold to you for the past years.

Empress,

we've been together for more than ten years, right?

Yes. I still remember

that I was just fifteen when I met Your Majesty for the first time.

Now, I'm about to reach the independent years. Age is really unforgiving. (T/N: her thirties)

No such thing. Empress, you're still very beautiful.

You are even more charming than when you were in your teenage years.

Your Highness has never praised me before.

I am the head of the nation. You are the mother of the nation.

Our feelings and thoughts should be the same and be in conjugal bliss.

Your Majesty, I only ask that His Majesty can sleep with me more.

Let me bear you children.

I then won't have any more regrets.

I...

will agree to it tonight.

Your Majesty, are you tired?

Are you hungry? Do you want me to ask them to prepare some night snacks?

I'm not tired. No need to trouble yourself anymore.

Chat with me.

What is Your Majesty thinking?

Why is Your Majesty sighing?

Is there something that's making you very worried?

Empress, you don't know. In the Imperial court,

Imperial Tutor Liu and Prime Minister Liu are leading all the officials to pressure me

in removing Ye Zhao's military power and exiling her to the borders.

What does Your Majesty mean to do?

I...

I heard that General Ye

relied on how prestigious her reputation is

and disregarded the law, acted in a barbaric manner, and reeked of blood.

Ye Zhao grew up in the military after all.

In handling matters, she is indeed a bit crude,

but her intentions are good.

Indeed. General Ye must be thinking for Your Majesty's sake.

But... Your Majesty...

shouldn't offend the whole Imperial court just for General Ye, right?

This is exactly what's troubling me.

I think that

General Ye indeed gave great contributions to the state and the government,

but Liao and Song are now at peace and there are no troubles on the borders for now.

Your Majesty needn't overly rely on General Ye.

Your suggestion then is...

Since the whole court

has joined forces to accuse General Ye of misconduct,

it means that she has offended everyone and triggered their wrath.

Why don't Your Majesty just go with the flow?

Use this opportunity to remove Ye Zhao's military power.

I heard that Zhao Yujin's mother, Princess Consort Dowager Zhao,

is bothered by the fact that Ye Zhao hasn't given their family any children yet.

Your Majesty, if you make a decree

letting General Ye go home and focus on being the wife of the Junwang,

in the first place, it will pacify public wrath

and second, satisfy the Princess Consort Dowager's wish.

In the third place, this will remove Ye Zhao's responsibilities and her offenses.

Isn't that three birds with one stone?

What Empress said is indeed a plausible solution.

Let me think about it.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

My favored subjects,

if you have anything to report, say it. If there is nothing more, court session will be dismissed.

I have something to report.

The Great General of the World's Military Force Ye Zhao

has been arrogant because of her merits since she returned to the Capital.

She disregarded the country's laws and just continued on her own way.

She tyrannized and incurred great public wrath.

I ask Your Majesty to remove Ye Zhao's military power.

Demote her to being an ordinary citizen and exile her to the Western Regions.

Return our country's might and pacify the public wrath.

Restore the state's harmonious order.

Imperial Tutor Liu, do you have any proof for what you're saying?

Ye Zhao executed the Xiushui Magistrate Zhang and his son without your permission.

That is already belittling the state's laws,

doing things on her accord, and killing government officials indiscriminately.

I've already investigated this matter.

The Zhang father and son had committed all acts of evil.

They took bribes and bent the law. They should have been executed.

Your Majesty, even if the reputation of Lord Zhang and his son were bad,

it should still have been handed to the Ministry of Justice to interrogate, try them in court, and sentence them.

Ye Zhao is the leader of the hundred thousand man army of the Capital.

She has no jurisdiction over Xiushui's Magistrate Zhang.

Ye Zhao executing them this time

was because of a private grudge

with them. Based on our laws,

Ye Zhao should be interrogated and tried to show the fairness of the law.

Informing Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Liu said is very correct.

Ye Zhao and the manager of Changsheng Casino Lu Zhenting had a conflict.

She publicly broke Lu Zhenting's ribs.

Everyone knows about this matter.

Replying to Your Majesty, the Changsheng Casino that Lu Zhenting operates

is luring the public to participate in mass gambling and should be banned.

Informing Your Majesty,

the murder case of Master Li using Ye Zhao's dagger is still unsolved.

Based on the duties of the Ministry of Justice, a case should be filed and investigated.

I earnestly ask Your Majesty

to remove Ye Zhao's military power.

File a case against Ye Zhao and have her investigated.

Return the justice of our laws.

I earnestly ask Your Majesty to remove Ye Zhao's military power.

I earnestly ask Your Majesty to remove Ye Zhao's military power.

I earnestly ask Your Majesty to remove Ye Zhao's military power.

File a case against her and return justice to our laws.

I earnestly ask Your Majesty to remove Ye Zhao's military power.

Return justice to our laws.

Informing Your Majesty,

although General Ye executing Magistrate Zhang and his son is against normal legal process,

stabilizing the citizen's sentiment is a priority in front of a disaster.

Executing a corrupt local official using military methods

can manifest the citizen's sentiments.

General Ye protected the state bravely and loyally that the enemies are very afraid of her.

Now, Western Xia is beginning to stir. If we remove General Ye from office now,

I fear that Western Xia might launch a sneak attack on us.

Hope Your Majesty can think about this carefully.

What Favored Subject Fan said is very reasonable.

I will surely investigate this matter personally.

Court dismissed.

Long live, Your Majesty!

The General is back! The General is back!

- Junwang, General, you're back. - Junwang! General!

Hurry and move the items on the carriages down.

Come... Let's move the stuff.

Hurry and go.

General, you're finally back.

How did the disaster relief go?

Good. Very good.

But I didn't go with you. I surely have missed out on a lot of good scenes.

Xuan'er, let me tell you.

Our Junwang and General are really great heroes this time.

What has happened? Quickly tell me about it!

Junwang, General, I'll just tell her what happened.

- Go now. - Let's go!

Ah Zhao, you've worked hard during the disaster relief.

Just stay in the house for the next few days. Don't go anywhere.

Later, I'll go report to His Majesty.

Husband, you are the official Imperial envoy. Go and have an audience with His Majesty to report on your task.

Why are you still standing there?

Ah Zhao has been exhausted these past few days. Hurry and prepare her bath.

Yes.

Don't mind me anymore. Just quickly go, so you can return sooner.

I'll wait for you for dinner.

- I'll get going then. - Okay.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

Greetings to my Royal Uncle.

Look at those closely.

All are complaints about you. How do you explain these?

Memorial: Imperial Envoy Zhao Yujin lives a dissipated life, doesn't engage in honest work,

brutal and cruel, willfully slaughtering the innocent...

Saying that I live a dissipated life?

I indeed have lavish spending, but that was all from my own pocket.

I never was corrupt or abused the law, nor did I extort wealth from the citizens.

And third, I never spent any money of the state treasury. Fourth, I didn't bring any beautiful women home.

On what basis are they saying that I lived a dissipated life!

And that Magistrate Zhang!

I killed him not only because he was negligent in his duty during the calamity

or that he took bribes and abused the law. For a measly xiucai,

what right does he have to steal from the local treasury and frame it on me?

With such great disrespect, executing up to the third degree of his clan isn't excessive!

What about stealing from those rich families?

Stealing from the rich families?

I just invited the richest men in Xiushui Province

to drink some fragrant tea, lectured on them some great principles,

and urged them to donate money to save the citizens.

I even gave them each an achievement trophy on your behalf.

What I used was top-quality black stone.

What achievement trophy?

How expensive is black stone? You just wasted it.

I admit my mistake.

Yujin...

It's fine that you were just idling about before.

I saw that you did well in your duty as the City Patrol Censor, hence, I chose you to head the disaster relief.

Never thought that foolish one like you

would disregard the law and natural morality just upon leaving my sight.

Based on the fact that you did inappropriate acts in handling the Xiushui Province matter,

I'm punishing you to have no salary for three months and you're grounded to reflect on your mistakes for a month.

Then... are you removing me from my post or not?

Seeing that you have a heart for the good of the citizens,

although you didn't do your job properly, it can still be said to have ended well.

Your merits can make up for your mistakes. There is no punishment for it.

You said before that you'd fire me...

How is Ye Zhao's health lately?

She's fine. She just needs to recuperate for several months.

Tell Empress Dowager not to give me any more concubines.

But Empress Dowager Yang is very worried about your descendants plan.

How about this then?

I'll talk to Empress Dowager. Now that the empire is peaceful,

Guo Fushan is well-versed in military tactics.

I'll let him temporarily manage the Capital's military camp.

Ye Zhao can retire and go home for the meantime.

Letting me have a grandchild to embrace is more important.

If Ah Zhao goes back to recuperate,

she'll be able to bear a child once her health is well. Once she has a child, she needs to raise him.

Once everything is done, the military camp situation would have completely changed.

From the sound of it, that weasel seems to be indirectly asking her to retire.

Retire her armor and go home. Don't ever come back anymore.

Royal Uncle, even if I did a lot of disgraceful deeds,

why must my wife get fired?

No matter how strong Ye Zhao is, she is still a woman.

During a war, letting a woman wear an armor and go the front line

is already being heartless. Now that the world is at peace,

still letting her tire herself for official matters is already an injustice.

I've decided.

I'll let you two have your happy days,

so you can have children soon.

- Jiang Luhai. - Here.

Deliver one hundred boxes of Chinese angelica blood tonic pills, one hundred rolls of silk,

and one hundred pieces of jewelry to the Junwang's manor.

Yes.

Yujin, quickly go home and take care of Ye Zhao.

Yes, Royal Uncle.

Your Majesty.

Are your really removing General Ye from her position?

I rely heavily on General Ye,

but the state can't be supported by just one person.

If I don't remove her from her post, I'll then truly become alone.

It's against my will to make this decree.

I also can't bear to lose her.

Junwang, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?

Did His Majesty punish you?

Junwang, say something.

My heart is beating so fast. (T/N: You're scaring me)

What to do? When my wife's power was above mine, I was always holding a grudge.

Now that she was unjustly accused and forced to remove her armor (retire), I'm like a soldier shuttling back and forth while beating the drums.

During the peak of excitement, the drum instead got destroyed from the beating.

The military status that Ah Zhao is proudest of, the general's life that she takes pride of the most

will now end. Her brotherhood,

her thunderous war drum, her lightning military rules...

Nanping Junwang Princess Consort, Xuanwu Hou Ye Zhao, please accept the Imperial decree!

I am accepting the Imperial decree.

His Majesty has ordered

that Great General of the World's Military Force Ye Zhao

will not take the post of the commander of the one hundred thousand man army of the Capital anymore.

She'll maintain her title of Great General of the World's Military Force.

She'll maintain the noble title of Xuanwu Hou.

His Majesty is especially granting her one hundred boxes of Chinese angelica tonic,

one hundred rolls of silk, and one hundred pieces of jewelry.

All to be used by Nanping Junwang's Princess Consort for the propagation of the Imperial bloodline

and raising royal descendants.

End of Decree.

Thank you for Your Majesty's graces. I am accepting the decree.

Long live, Your Majesty!

Eunuch Jiang,

please return this military token to His Majesty.

Nanping Junwang's Princess Consort, I'm taking my leave now.

Junwang and Military Strategist, please enjoy your meal.

Huli, Ah Zhao always says that you're outstandingly intelligent and can predict things.

Guess how my mood is then today.

Can you give me two critical clues?

Not as happy and relieved as I imagined,

but also not that sad.

It's just like the sauce getting spilled,

a flavor that's unspeakable, unable to be described.

Let me just be frank with you.

His Majesty has removed Ah Zhao's military power.

Your general isn't anymore the commander of the Ye Army.

Junwang, so you're troubled by this matter?

You are the military tactician. Why are you not worried at all?

I know

that all the members of the government have been spreading rumors that are disadvantageous to General Ye.

No matter if it's the instigation of Imperial Tutor Liu, or the sowing of dissension of Prime Minister Lu,

His Majesty was going against the whole Imperial court with just his own strength.

It is indeed an unwise move.

I fear that he can only choose to temporarily retire her.

But Royal Uncle is clearly going with the flow for self gain.

Since time immemorial, officials or generals whose achievements have overshadowed their Emperor,

would all get cast aside once there's no use for them anymore.

Junwang,

the Emperor is the emperor of Great Song.

The empire is the empire of the Zhaos.

As a descendant of the Zhao, the Junwang of Song,

you indeed have the duty of protecting the empire.

The General has been relieved from her post.

You can't dispute it and you won't be able to dispute it.

But the General retiring at the height of her career might not be a bad thing, too.

In my opinion, deep in your heart, you don't really care if your wife

is some famous great general.

Indeed. In my eyes,

Ah Zhao is just an ordinary, naive, simple-minded,

nonsense-speaking idiot with great courage.

For me, it's not important if she's a general or not.

Then Junwang,

what really are you worried about?

What I'm worried the most is

her reaction after knowing this matter.

Junwang,

the General's attitude will depend on yours.

If you feel that removing her military power

isn't some big deal that will shock heaven and earth and make the gods and ghosts cry,

then the General will naturally not feel that her world has collapsed.

You are her husband. When a woman marries, she will have a husband to rely on.

As long as you can take out your shoulder

that she'll find to be strong and worthy to lean on,

I think that she surely will be at peace

and unhurt.

At peace?

What a good "in peace" this is...

It has ended.

Everything has ended.

From now on,

I'm willing to seal my sharp blades and retract my wings.

From now on,

there won't be any glint and flash of cold steel, no eagles cleaving the sky,

no unrestrained horse rides in the grassland,

no duel with death.

From now on,

there's only Chinese parasol draping over the greens,

vines entangling, prosperity blooming,

fancy carps playing with water, swallows flying together.

From now on,

in this little courtyard,

you will live the life that everyone hopes that you will.

But... But...

how come the hands that are holding tightly on a precious sword refuse to let go?

Say, this female malevolent spirit Ye Zhao is so dark and fierce.

There's no feminine qualities at all!

Indeed.

Even though she's a general...

in my opinion, she's the reincarnation of a monster.
