Episode 31
Bring him in.
What's going on?
Replying to the Forth Prince
This Song has written a private letter to contact with enemy.
Was caught by me.
This is not a private letter.
Here is the proof.
You don't have much to say.
If you still treat me as a prisoner of war,
why don't you take me to those prisoners and put us together?
I, Yuwen Xuzhong, do not need charity or mercy.
Here is my Jin Wushu camp.
I can put you anywhere I want to put.
If one day, I want to throw you out to feed the wolf.
That's a word of my Yuwen Xuzhong.
Your life is lost in the Song Dynasty.
The Forth prince saved your life.
Give you clothes.
Give you food.
Do all of the Songs don't know what is gratitude?
The home stay when the country existed.
The home is lost when country is ruined.
I, Yuwen Xuzhong had left my life and death.
So, what is this?
I just can't let go of some home affairs.
Our own soul is back.
It is because that my mother is lonely and helpless.
There are many paintings of ancient artifacts.
Military adviser.
It seems that this gentleman is just thinking of the paintings and ancient devices in the house.
Pedantic.
Even when life is gone.
still think about these things.
This is the difference between the Jins and Songs
Let's hear it.
Thinking about the famous.
Our own soul is back.
No worries.
It is because that my mother is lonely and helpless.
There are many paintings of ancient artifacts.
When don't have choice, can only throw the heavy things first.
Secondly, throw the clothing.
And then abandon books reels.
And lastly throw the ancient artifacts.
If encounter enemy and have no escape, must hold the ancient artifacts till suicide.
Would rather die than be humiliated.
Emperor Yuansheng that refuse to listen.
Can die for the country.
But also suffered the insults.
This is a song, a vassal's precept.
Good.
How good words that die for the country.
Military adviser.
From today onwards,
sent someone to keep watch on at him every day.
I'd like to have a look on how you don't suffer the insults.
Yes.
Crown prince.
Why care so much about this Song's prisoner?
There is a sentence of Nan, know yourself as well as the enemy.
He can let me know more about Song's culture.
The treacherous court officials.
Do you want to rebel?
We have to enforce justice on behalf of heaven.
Foolish Emperor.
Don't hide.
Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan.
You intrude into my bedroom tonight.
What crime should you be charged with?
Emperor it is better not to be frivolous.
What are you doing?
What do you think of the meaning of morality between us?
You have promised to the public that you will crusade against Yan Yun and welcome back the two emperors.
Now only know how to escape.
This is what the king's word is.
How can you understand my thinking?
Is this what called the sly soldiers?
You're a general.
Didn't you read the art of war?
Do not know all's is fair in war?
Let me go.
Only Kang Lu and Wang Yuan will believe your bullshit.
Now they had been beheaded.
Would you like to tell your ministers the whole truth?
To have a conscience.
Truth.
Conscience.
Crossing the river.
Do you remember?
There was a man named Yue Fei respectfully of your form.
Asking your order to cross the river towards the two Emperor.
But you also put his kindness as ill intent.
Also let him to retire from office.
Zhao Gou.
You don't be fond of dreaming.
The two of us aren't Yue Fei.
We are the one which if come then will have a clear conversation with you.
Listen to us anything will be fine.
If don't listen to us, We will kill you.
Don't let you in grow flower in a rock garden.
Run a business at a loss.
You, the Emperor, only know how to eat and sleep in the day.
Holding a naked woman in the night.
You know in this palace how many people in the civil and military of different ages is willing to send you to put to death by dismembering the body.
Listen.
Tonight, we are here to represent the two hundred thousand of selected army and hundreds of valiants.
Not Liu Zhengyan and Miao Fu.
But your eyes can only see the woman.
Cannot see the intention to kill.
Zhao Gou abdicated.
The Emperor.
What are you doing?
Let her go.
What the hell do you mean?
You write a rescript for penitence.
The Emperor is to abdicate.
The court appointed your little son to ascend the throne.
Empress Meng dowager.
Just this.
Isn't it enough for this?
Since I ascended the throne do not treat bullying by the strong.
Sorrow the world.
Don't regret.
I can not bear to plunge the people into misery and suffering.
Abdicate to tell the world.
Hope that Song and Jin can stop the war.
No longer meet on the battleground.
Madam.
There are a large number of soldiers rushed in.
What are they here for?
Asking, Mrs. Han to come with us.
Go.
Come here.
Come, drink.
Mrs. Han reached.
Go away.
Mrs. Han.
Today, we really offended you.
Officer Han has been a most admired senior.
In such our general's heart.
These days, in the capital there will be some turbulence.
We are worried that the Han Palace was come under attack
So ask madam to shelter in my palace.
Two of your of one mind Liang Hongyu thanks the Generals first.
Since the lady is not to blame.
It would be nice.
Come.
Settle it for the lady.
Yes.
Wait.
Officer Liu.
There is one thing I want to discuss with you.
Mrs. Han, please say it.
Since Emperor Kang succeeded to the throne
although he always shouted of the Northern Expedition
but he never put it into practice
General Han also mentioned it to the court and to me many times.
His long fight in the North and South.
Lots of generals fighting under him.
Never fear of death.
Just hope to recapture the lost land.
But the court has repeatedly refused to send out the troops to fight.
How could this not make the people feel heart broken?
Mrs Han's words, really said out our generals's mind
In recent years, I have live in Beijing.
Has heard of the used of Huan by Emperor Kang.
Also heard, heard that he is incompetent.
Ignoring the court.
And all the people are discontent with him.
The Yellow River's matter is also increasing the discontent.
Today, the two of your and your doings,
in the eyes of Liang Hongyu, it is a great act.
It is for the benefit of the people.
Mrs Han really understand the important principle thoroughly.
To tell you the truth,
General Han also has such sentiment.
Just never had the chance.
If you are willing to let me take a letter to him,
he should follow you two.
Mrs Han's words, really said out our mind.
But it is far away or madam can put your child at our place first.
We will send someone to take care of him.
I also don't want my child to be fatigued by a long journey.
However, my son are still young.
He has not been weaned.
I'm afraid that it's not convenient to stay here and let the two officers take care.
If the two of you are worried that I will be tired on the journey, you can send someone to go with me.
Good.
Mrs Han is a sensible person.
Come.
Prepare the horses.
Escort Mrs Han to Xiuzhou.
Yes.
Jia.
Madam.
Why did you stop the horse?
Madam.
Go.
Jia.
Madam, wait a moment please.
General will come right away
Madam.
General.
This time you come.
Has anything happened.
There is a big deal in Beijing
Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan led his men to turn traitors.
Late at night, they went in the palace.
Place the Emperor under house arrest.
And forced him to give way.
Is the emperor well now?
Where is he now?
The planted agent in palace said the emperor is detained in the prison temporarily.
Come.
Yes.
Messenger pigeons.
Yes.
Big Brother
Big Brother.
There is an incident.
This is the pigeons letters from General Han.
Miao Liu's mutiny.
Also place the Emperor under house arrest.
This two people have argued against the King.
They are very discontented with the imperial court and the fled to the south.
This time, they take this kind of extreme actions.
They're cornered.
They shouldn't do that even if they are really anxious.
Doing so, is a mistake to themselves, the emperor, and the world.
Come.
Yes.
Ask Wang Gui, Niu Gao, Yang Zaixing.
Go to the hall and discuss official business.
Yes.
Big Brother, General Han has decided to send the troops to Ling'an, for saving the emperor.
Also called on all for the support.
Whether we go along or not?
General Du.
Han Shizhong has sent a letter to all the officers and men.
Say to save the emperor.
Now all the generals have responded.
Then we...
What are the response?
In addition to Liu, Guangshi went to Ling'an.
Other people?
All the people are saying only.
Didn't see any trend.
So, General Du, what is your point?
Wait.
Everyone is waiting.
We also don't worry.
We still don't know the situation in Ling'an.
We also learn from the others.
Respond to Han Shizhong's appeal of saving the emperor.
But in actual, halt the troops, and wait and see.
Actually play acting and not go all out.
Also can't send a single soldier.
I will send a team of men, throw a stone to clear the road.
If Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi win, then we are the heroes of saving the king.
If Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan win,
I will take the post of prime minister.
General Du is smart.
This is a balanced approach.
But which general will be sent to Ling'an?
Report.
Reporting to the general.
Yue Fei is here.
Quickly, please.
Yes.
Yue Fei have met General Du.
Stand up.
Sit.
Thank you, General Du.
The Ling'an crisis,
presumably General Du has already known.
I had received the letter by General Han.
What's General Du's plan?
The emperor is in difficulty.
Since we are the courtiers, we should rush to the rescue.
However,.
Ling'an is important
Bianjing already belonged to the Jin.
In Jiangkang City's the situation is also very tense.
If we have a large invasion,
the enemy will invade to the South.
We have to protect the states which is near the enemy.
Internal strife should also be avoided.
If you trust Yue Fei, then please allowed Yue Fei,
to lead a team to Ling'an, to save the emperor.
General Yue.
Saving the emperor is an important thing.
General Du should personally lead the troops to go to Ling'an.
But now the situation isn't suit to that.
If the emperor ask later,
why did General Du did not personally lead troops to go,
I don't know how to answer, General Yue.
Yue Fei is under the hand of General Du.
Yue Fei went to Ling'an to save the emperor.
This is equivalent to General Du going to Ling'an.
Although the body of General Du was not in Ling'an,
but he was worried about the emperor's safety every hour and moment.
It's rare that you can understand my pains.
As such, you just represent me to save the emperor.
Yes.
Wait.
Rushed back to camp and count.
Starting at once.
Yes.
The trip to Ling'an can't avoid to meet on the battleground.
You just gave birth to the child and travel day and night.
Your body not yer recovered.
I think it is better to stay here to rest and recuperate.
General.
You should understand,
the more dangerous it is,
the more reason, I should be with you.
On the strategy of martial arts,
the two men are no match for me.
So, darling, you don't have to worry about me.
Besides, we now have Yan'er.
General.
If Yan'er understand the antecedents and consequences,
I believe that she won't blame me.
Moreover, I and General will be together until our hair is grey.
I'll go with you.
I believe that they won't be defensive.
Good.
Let's go together.
Come, eat.
Emperor.
You haven't eaten anything for long time.
The body is important.
Please eat a little.
I have been thinking.
The two emperor aren't having it easy in the north.
I also wondered,
people always become destitute and homeless.
Hanging by a thread.
Turbulence, helpless...
At the beginning, I want to be the emperor to change this situation.
But the current situation,
it is like having a heart, but not the strength.
Emperor, as long as you can endure one day you will complete your own ideal.
A little thing.
Please keep it.
Also hope that you can give me the convenience.
I want to see the Emperor.
Over there.
Can you hurry up.
Time is running out.
Thank you very much.
Emperor.
I am Qin Hui.
Qin Hui.
Emperor.
You have suffered, Emperor.
Qin Hui.
How can you come here?
Emperor.
I deserved to die.
I had no sooner found out,
Miao and Liu's trick, it has been done.
You don't blame yourself.
I ask you,
is there anything happening in the court these days
Emperor.
We haven't had any court these days.
It is said that the Empress Yuan-You doesn't want to the dowager,
and General Han has passed a letter all the soldiers.
The loyalist soldiers will come to Beijing to save the emperor.
Han Shizhong.
I'm here to inform the emperor,
it is hope that the emperor can relax here.
Be patient for a few days.
The usurpers won't be arrogant too long.
Qin Hui.
In this prison, someone shouted wronged every day.
Today's field,
maybe I have the wrong place.
Emperor, if there is any wrong,
it's that you put too much trust on the military officers.
Since the Song Dynasty started always value the civil officials only.
If those generals once rebelled,
compared with the civil officials, they are more dangerous.
Officer Qin.
Time is running out.
I know.
Emperor.
I have some money
to give you.
You keep it, and use it when you need to.
Officer Qin.
Come on.
All right, I know.
I'm gone.
Officer Qin,
you are the most loyal in the end.
Take care, emperor.
I'm gone.
Take care.
Emperor.
Hurry up and eat.
Beijing has four entrances which is heavily guarded.
There are soldiers stationed outside.
This time, Miao and Liu's mutiny is really comprehensive.
It is long planned.
Now the emperor is in the palace,
so we must be careful of our movement.
Do not act rashly and alerts the enemy.
Brother Yue.
How about this?
Our brothers, tomorrow we disguise ourselves, and then go into the capital.
What do you say?
Yes.
It's better than to rush into it.
This is precisely what I intend to do.
Brother Yue's face,
a lots of people know it.
I'm afraid that it's not enough just to disguise yourself.
I had a plan.
The East gate's guard is Miao's family.
As sharp as a razor.
Zhang Xian.
You go.
Yes.
How much do you want?
Whether you give?
The less the better, can you?
Single-handed also can!
Yang Zaixing.
Are you going to fight at the West Gate?
Yes.
Niu Gao.
South Gate belongs to you.
Great.
These days, I practice every day.
Bear for so long just exercise.
The north gate have the most strict guard.
The most people.
Wang Gui, Fu Qing.
Yes.
Two of you go there.
Everyone.
Tomorrow evening,
General Han will go into the palace alone.
Once he is sure of the emperor's safety,
he will give us the signal.
Then we work together.
Tomorrow,
must be a success.
Must assault.
Do you understand?
Understand!
Liang Hongyu has been gone for five days
How come that we still haven't get any message?
Have the circumstances have changed?
Every place has people to save the emperor.
Even Du Chong and Zhang Jun's men.
All rejected our rebellion.
What should we do for the next step?
As long as King Kang is still in our hand,
don't be afraid.
Report.
Reporting to the general.
The defenders report,
Han Shizhong has returned to the Imperial City.
Greeting the two generals.
Granted.
Serve the wine.
Come.
Han cheer to two generals first
We have heard that General Han is straightforward.
When I meet you today, the rumor is not false.
You two are so bold.
Also let Han admire.
To tell you the truth.
Today's court, the eunuchs and Minister are in collusion.
Lots of generals have died on the battlefields.
But forced to swallow insult and humiliation silently.
To tell you the truth, Han has been patience for a long time.
Say so General Han supports the proposal to have a new king?
Of course.
Just do not know whether the new king can promote Han to a higher office and rank.
Yes.
Yes, of course.
As long as General Han would work for the new king,
hHigh position and a handsome salary will be nothing difficult.
More importantly,
the northern expedition.
There will also be a statement.
That is too good.
Don't know how will you dispose of King Kang?
Does General Han have any suggestions?
Our Song is fastidious about the king's word.
If the appellation can't be regular, the words can't be observe.
Then anything is impossible.
Just keep him off with no suitable charges.
I think it's difficult to convince the public.
General Han is really right.
According to Han's opinion, we give him a prince title.
Send him back to the border.
Can preserve the reputation.
Also no worries about the future.
What do you think about this?
General Han's way really satisfied both sides.
I so admired you.
I let the emperor issued an edict tomorrow.
I'm just give a suggestion.
Come, drink.
Come.
If the two generals don't mind, I have a few words to King Kang.
What words?
When he reuse Huan Han has persuaded but was almost relieved.
If this tone is not out the indignation is difficult to release.
So it seems, I too have something to say.
Come.
Yes.
Bring King Kang up.
Yes.
You, the bitches,
almost died,
also don't forget to be romantic.
What would you do?
Anything just come to me.
Take him away.
Get up.
Emperor.
Princess.
Step on it
Wait, wait.
Go.
Live on.
Emperor.
Live on.
Emperor.
Kneel down.
Isn't this King Kang?
Faster.
Give him a sit.
King Kang.
Why don't you sit?
Sit.
Come.
Serve the wine to King Kang.
Come on.
Drink.
King Kang.
You're here today it's because that there is a good news to tell you.
Good news?
Yes.
We want to bestow on you a prince title.
Prince?
Send you to Lingnan to be a prince.
Million of fertile fields.
Not only no need to worry about your life.
But also have court's reward to take.
Good.
Officers.
It's rare to drink on such a happy ocassion.
Let me do drumming performances for you.
Ok?
Good.
We have heard that Mrs Han is a tambourine master.
Since the lady is willing to play.
Of course.
Good, good.
