He's hairy.

You always did hear well. Brother!

Brother! Hey!

Good to see you! Greetings, Joey! I'm

Eddie! All

right. Brother! We never knew you

were the fourth prince. Why did you keep

it from us?You shouldn't keep secrets

like that. I I wanted you to accept me as

equal and friend, and I had good

reason. for hiding my name.

Well, tell us. Why you asked us to come.

You've some announcement?

The king is dead.

Before he died, he stayed as his

successor. Ah, who could ever have

guessed that one of our brothers would

one day be the emperor?However, since

I've been away from the palace

so long, I have enemies.

who want to dispute the throne

and please assassinate me.

So I've asked you to come and protect me.

I don't know. We may all be

like brothers now, but when

you're crowned as the next Qing Emperor,

you'll look down on us as poor hands. I'd

never do that. Don't you worry.

If you do, give me your help now when I

ask. I promise you...

I will make the Manchu and Han equal with

the Chinese. Sister...

All rise. Greetings, your

bias! The king

has passed away.

So we must have a new king.

Call Lonkito to read out the

will. Yes. Summon

Lonke to read out the king's will.

The imperial will

to royal officials,

all relations,You will

obey my wish.

After I have died, I

choose the fourth prince

to be the next king.

This is my will. I order you

to support your new king.

For our country's sake, this is

my order. God

bless you.

Uncle, the late king said many times it

was the 14th Prince, and he even summoned

him back here. So how come the world now

says it's the 4th Prince?There is

something here I don't like. Uncle,

Yongqin is a maal. He'll ruin this

country. Agreed. Yongqin shouldn't be

king. Stop it.

It's the emperor's will. He wrote it

down. It's his last wish.

You must obey. Uncle, the will must have

been rewritten.

I'm

my army surrounding the palace.

If anyone dares disobey, I'll kill them.

Ah Hold it! The king has just died,

and already you fight for the throne.

Arrest Zheng Shi immediately! Yes, sir.

Sir. I am the king.

Any objections?The

king is coming! The king is coming!

You may rise. Greetings, Your Majesty!

Read my decree. By the king's

order, Yang Qin is now emperor, and

his first decree is the removal of the

14th prince as Marshal of the Far East.

The new Marshal of the Far East is Nian

Kung Yao, and Nian's sister is to

become the royal concubine.

The king is here! Huh Brother,

brother, brother.

No, Your Majesty, Hatulkung

extends greetings to Your Highness.

Haha. Kantung Jae extends greetings

to... Long live, long live, long live

the King!

Please, get up now. We are still

brothers, aren't we?You must address me

just as you used to. Oh, my King, it was

our privilege to work with you once, when

we had no idea that you would be King. If

we show disrespect, please, you must

excuse us for it. Nonsense.

If I become king, it's because of all the

help you have given to me. Don't

think that once I'm king, I could

forget my brother. So you promised to

give your word to us then, and in return

we promise to protect you. Firstly, the

honor equaled. Secondly, I'll pass new

laws. Of course, I'll keep my word.

For the moment, I have things to do. I

can't do too much at once. I can change

the lore about clothing and hair. The

rest will come later. Well, what do you

all think?Very good. Long live

the king!

I promise you now that at the Mid-Autumn

Festival we will celebrate and announce

it to all the people.

The King is

coming.

You may rise. Thank you, Your

Majesty.

Go and tell them what I have decided.

Yes, Sir.

Marshall on the end. Sit down.

The food. Yes, sir.

His Majesty promises the laws about the

harm. Right now, this proposal is

being examined in court. Once it is

passed, it will be announced.

Here's your help, our great king,

our country.

My friend. Cheers.

Cheers, Your Majesty.

That's good. Let's get into the food.

Yeah. Try some on. Yes. Yeah.

By order of the king,

Summon Marshal Nien.

oh The king wants me. I won't be gone

long. All right, go ahead.

Have

a

drink. Come on. Let's order a drink.

My friends, you got it wrong. The Herne

can never be equal. You

have broken our country's laws, betrayed

the king. For that you must die.

Arrest them all! Yes, sir! Huh, young

kid. You're a devil.

Kill all of them.

Don't let them escape.

Sister, be pretty. There's the door on

the right. Hurry.

Charlie?Yes, sir.

and roses are gone

with the wind. The wind

cannot read, nor

change what happens to our country.

The buildings may remain the same, but

the people do not. They

pass from this light each day,

just like a river to the sea.

Mr. Chu, an escaped prisoner came this

way. We have to search here. Search! What?

Search.

Hey! You!What are you doing here?Now let

go of me! Let go of

me now, brother, brother!

Captain, she's my sister, Pung Feng Pai.

There you go. Mr.

Law, I hope that if you do see the

escaped prisoner, you'll hand him over.

It's a serious offense. You'll die for

it. Of course. Of course.

Come on, all right!

EhDane, you're wounded. Get

citizen. Tell me, how did this happen?

Yang Jun is too wicked.

He's used us, and

now tries to kill us. As

long as I live, I vow I'll fight

him. I'll kill him.

Come

on. How come you're so badly...

And then try to kill us.

Ah, you're doing well here, Highness.

You're great. Just great.

Not bad yourself. If you're a bit slower,

you might have been stabbed through the

heart. If I should die

defending you as king, that's my good

fortune. No, I don't want to lose you.

Hey! That's wonderful.

Thank you.

I am here to serve you. Get up,

get up.

Brother, I knew you would be in here with

the king, so I've come to see you.

Sister, I have to go on a campaign.

While I'm gone, make sure you take care

of the king. My dear, your

brother protects the body of my realm,

and you protect me.

Without doubt, I am a lucky king.

My king, while I am away,

I'm secured for you as bodyguard. The

famous Dalai Lama from Tibet sleep well

at night now. And the knowledge that

their skill will silence any reference.

You'd make me very happy. Umm

Her most impressive weapon.

What means you see you?Come and sit.

Shall I?

Who is that girl?That one, Your

Majesty, she's already married. She's

the wife of the 19th Britain.

My Lord, if you really like

her, do you want me to fix it up

for you while I have you with me?

Why should I have need of other women?

Your Majesty, the Commander Chang Chap

Yun wants to come and see you now. Bring

him in. Yes, bring in the commander.

Chang Chap Yun to see Your Majesty.

What's all the hurry?Your Majesty, from

news I have received, Lulu Liang is

plotting a revolution against you.

Lulu Liang. He is the grandfather of Xin

Yang. Here's my

order. You're to kill the whole

family.

Mikey, don't overdo

it. Mikey, don't overdo it.

I swear by all that's holy,

that I will kill you or

die in the attempt.

Your Majesty, Marshal Mien has returned

victorious.

My brother will win even more battles

and in larger territory

because we have you as the Emperor.

Here's my order. I will welcome him back

in person. Sir.

Your Majesty.

My king?Yes?

You may rise! Thank you, young

baby! Under your

banner, we managed to rout them all

and enlarge your territory.

You must have had a hard time.

Fighting is a hot business.

Chamberlain. Yes, sir?

Bring over the reward for Marshall Nian.

Yes, sir?One case of

gold, one case of silk

robes, and a dragon

gown.

Thank you, your majesty. I

told you. I wept with you once I was

king.

HuhSister, come here.

Majesty.

Uncle, give our reward to all of our

soldiers. By the king's

order, soldier's reward. Long live the

king!

Soldier's reward. Long live the king,

Brother.

Long live the king.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Cheers to Your

Majesty. Long live our glorious Emperor.

You have done a good job.

Big to your health.

Thank you.

Oh, wine.

Come

here. Oh, my dear.

Oh, I can't drink anymore. I

can't make it. Yes, I am the Lord and you

are enough. You can't refuse me. Can't

you?ohh

I said no, that means I don't want one!

Marshal! Get out of

my way!

I don't care if he is a damn lord.

Even the king can't tell me to

drink if I damn well don't want to have a

drink.

Brother, you're drunk. Now stop talking.

I'm not drunk. I'm not talking nonsense.

Brother! If

I want a reward, I could

claim half the country. Brother!

King, do you agree with me?

Half the country belongs to me.

Well, you heard what the king said. You

heard him. Divide up

China and give half of it

to Marshall Nien!

Marshall Nien, you have gone too far this

time.

Now hear this. I order of the king.

With regard for the hard years Marshall

yen has put in fighting rebels in the Far

East in Zichuan Province, he's hereby

relieved of that command. So as to free

him or other workers.

Long live, long live, long live the

King.

Now hear this! Marshal Nien cannot do

everything so he's relieved of the

garrison on the border and must report

to Shaanxi District

where he's to supervise local civil

affairs by order of the

king.

Long live, long live, long live the king.

By the King's order, Governor Nien of

the Shanxi Province given too much work.

As a reward for his long years of

fighting in service,He's now

transferred to Hangchao to

defend the city by order of the

king.

Officer! Officer!

Officer!

What does it mean?What have I done wrong?

I fought so hard for the king in order

that he may keep the throne. I even

helped him.

See, I said something when drunk. The

king is testing my loyalty. The king.

The king couldn't do this to me.

Hey, get out of here. Very soon the king

will give orders to kill us. No, the

king would never kill me. He's only

testing my loyalty. with such old

friends. I know him like I know my own

self. He needs to depend on me.

Bastard Trouble! By the

king's order!

Nian Kung Yao is too arrogant. He plays

politics and plots against the throne.

But because of his long service, he is

now sent to stand guard outside the

Hangchow Gate by order of the

king.

Master. Say no more.

I will to God to Hengjiao Gate.

over there.

I am Chu Kum Kyung to see the elders. Oh,

Brother Chu, you had a hard time. See,

Nien, I have some news about Marshall

Nien.

Why aren't you kneeling down in my

presence?You should pay more respect to a

king, officer. Soldiers! Yes,

sir?Take this man off to the dungeon.

Right now! Yes, sir, hurry up!

Hurry up! The king

probably bids me to kneel.

Nonsense! What do you mean the king said

you needn't kneel?Prove it!

Ah

The dragon's gown given to me by the king

himself. That's enough. AhLieutenant,

you call yourself an officer. Are you

ignorant of Qing lore?When you see a man

in the dragon gown, you must kneel. Yeah,

yes, yes, yesCome now, quickly, line up.

We apologize.

Go! Yes, yesCome on, quickly, man. We'll

go, we'll go, we'll go.

Let's get out of here.

Nien Kung Yao's banished to Heng Chao. We

must have regrets. You should bring him

back here to talk to him. Never. Marshal

Nien is not to be trusted. He's a

traitor. Everyone wants to kill him.

And also, he helped the king

to kill our brothers. Yes.

elder. Nien Kung Yao is a

devil. We shouldn't spare his life now.

Please forgive us, Master. I'm going to

hang Chao to kill this Nien

Kung Yao with my own hands.

I don't believe the king really means

it.

Youngjin, you will summon to

Peking soon, won't you?

Nyen, I don't want to lose you.

Talk! Who wanted you to kill me?Speak!

It's

the king. The king really wants to kill

me?Marshal Nyang, you can do it

yourself.

I have never let you down,

except maybe once. Young

Shin, you're an ungrateful son of a

bitchYou are a fool.

I have always been loyal,

but now you try to have me murdered.

What an idiot I've been to

trust such a man. May

God blind me.

Why have you done this?I've been

evil. I should die.

I deserve to lose my eyesight.

My one regret is that I have failed to

kill Young Chin myself. Never fear, we

will do it for you. We will kill him, no

matter what. It's almost

impossible to kill him. You

must enter by the west door. There's a

secret passageway there. It leads into

Young Chin's garden. May God

bless whoever gets through to kill him. Ah

Long Ki Toh, to see Your Majesty.

You may rise. Your Majesty.

Is it all done?It is all done.

Nien's eldest son has been executed.

Princess Nien has gone to prison. And the

family exiled.

Do you think he deserved it?

Your Majesty, Nien Kongjo insulted you.

He should have died.

Now you're the only one I can trust.

You won't disappoint me when...

Your Majesty,

you need have my loyalty. Never,

my lord. Get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

When one is the king,It can be very

lonely.

Your Majesty works too hard. You tire

yourself. Do you want me to

call some dancing girls?Would you like

that?

Wild Totis is lovely.

The most beautiful girl in Peking.

She's the wife of the 19th Prince,

Majesty. And if she

becomes a widow, that would be too bad.

I understand.

I'll see to it right away.

Mingman, you don't know how much I love

you. I wish we could go on

lying like this forever.

I wish you could leave me king.

I'm lucky to have you. I'm very

lovely. Yeah, we.

In fact, your loveliness worries me.

Now young Qing is king. You're to stay

here with me and mock to guard alone.

How dare you come in here unannounced?

These are my private rooms. Get out! Man

and wife are together, but in

danger. They must go their separate ways.

What do you mean by that?

You'll find out soon enough, you bastard

Hey!

How could

you?Why do that?

How

could you?

Wild goaties, turn your face

around to me.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings. Greetings,

Your Majesty.

Magic.

Has my brother really been murdered?

The king is the devil.

King is evil. Madam,

has the king given an order to bring it?

Madam, Madam. Come here, come here.

Princess yen, life is really an

illusion. Wealth and material

pleasures are but passing clouds.

Otherwise, you will lose your sanity. I

like my hair like this.

Yeah, I'm glad I'm off anyway.

Get out of here. Damn you. Hmm

How dare you?

Speak! Who wanted you to come here and

kill me?Nobody hired me!

You... You deserve to die.

You tyrant! You're an evil man!

Because you wanted me. You had my husband

murdered. Did he cure the throne.

You had your own brothers murdered.

I reckon your days of praying are over.

Someone try to murder the king.

Both our teachers died in the

attempt. It's impossible

to get near him. It's difficult,

but we must do it. Zinian,

we can't give up now. We have to wait

and be patient. If we're not sure, we

will be lost.

Listen, I have an idea.

Yungchin has a weak point. He adores

women. Suppose we send in a girl

who just catches his fancy so that the

girl goes to live with him.

She can then help us enter.

It's useless.

Already Qualtotes has tried to murder

him. And she's dead. We

don't have enough men left. We must at

least give this one a try. However,

where can we find the right girl for the

job?Brother, if I

can be any use in destroying this vile

tyrant, I am only too willing to help.

Mr. Lau, your father

once did me a favor,

but thisis a serious crime

I don't know whether I can

madam che young chin is a tyrant

someone has to kill him or he'll ruin the

entire country this way we know that

we'll succeed and kill him for sure

madam if you can get me in the

palace young chin will want me when you

see me and I wouldn't involve you

madam you look taffold

if you don't give us yours if necessary

we'll kill him at all costs

All right. What exactly do you

want me to do?

waiting now.

Stop it. You must stop

fighting. Leave it to me. I'll deal with

it. All right, all rightStop

fighting, girl. Stop it right now. You

heard what I said.

Ohh Girl, I said stop fighting.

Here comes the king.

Your majesty. The king is here. How

dare you in front of the king.

Your Majesty.

We must go now. No, I must see the king!

Let me see the king! No, go! Please let

me see the king! I must see him! I must

see... Please let me see the king! I must

talk to him! Let me go!

Your Majesty, please you bear my life.

Please forgive me. All

right, stop crying. Now tell me. What

are you doing here in the palace?How come

I have never seen you here before?

Your Majesty, I've been here one year

already. I've been waiting to meet

with Your Majesty. Now at last my

dream has come true. May God bless Your

Majesty and our country.

You can't get away. I'm gonna catch you.

Come here. I'm gonna

catch you. Ah,

caught you. Oh, my king, don't

stop.

You know, my dear,You're the only one who

has really made me happy. I can't

remember when I've been happier.

I don't know why I'm so happy now.

Maybe 'cause I'm with you. You do wonders

for me. My dear,

you'll never leave me, will you?

My king, why are you so

melancholy?

Hearing Faith, if I should

die before you, what will you do then?

Why, I shall die with you.

If we were not born at the same

time, we will die together

at the same time. Ohh

the pavilion! Where's he?Come on! Come

on, hurry up!

Over there! Come on!

Greetings, your majesty!

What is all this row about?There's a spy

in the grounds. The guard had someone

running. Perhaps there's more than one of

them.

This is the palace. No one can break in

here. Surely you must have made a

mistake. I intend to play music alone

here. You may go now and take your men.

Yes, I am.

I will look after everything. You go out

and prepare some refreshments for all of

us. Yes! Come,

brother. Young Chin is in his bedroom

right now. Quickly, change into your

clothes. Right.

Your Majesty,The Far East Commander to

see you.

Looks rather late.

Tell him to come in. Sir!

Marshal Nien Kung Yao to

see your Majesty.

Long live, long live,

long live the King.

You

can't blame me for this.

You can't blame me for this. I didn't

make you do it.

Leave me. Leave me. Where?

Long live the king.

Long live the king.

What's wrong?Come

now.

Servant!

Your Highness, we await your orders.

Where did all you guys get to just now?

You're just standing what's right here.

No one's telling. Yes, sir.

Your change of clothes, Your Majesty.

Why?You were all the girls

I ever loved. I can't trust

anyone now.

I shall never love again.

And now you two want to murder me.

Well, you had a good time.

I've been here three years. Just

waiting to
