Fair and Square
Imperial Grandfather,this map is really big.
These drawings upon itare they all under your control?
Yes.
Imperial Grandfather,where is this?
This place...
Is where Imperial Grandfather, at the age of 29,broke through Wu Sangui's huge army
and pacified Yunnan.
And this place?
Which place?
This one
This place...
Is where in Kangxi's 22nd year,Fujian Navy Commander Shi Lang
defeated the Zheng Clan Navy,
and on behalf of our Qing Dynasty,recaptured the lost ground of Taiwan.
Imperial Grandfather!What about that place high above?
This place high above
is where in Kangxi's 36th year,
your grandfather led an expedition on Galdan,
breaking through 30,000 cavaliers,recapturing Dzungaria
Imperial Grandfather, everybody saysthat you are the eternal Emperor,
a mighty talent and a great strategist.Nothing in the world is beyond you, right?
Duke's Residence
Liang'er
Brother Rong Ruo!
Brother Rong Ruo, didn't you sayyou are making me a kite? Have you finished it?
Ah...
I'm sorry sister, I forgot.
How about I send you onefor your birthday next year?
Bad brother.I won't play with you.
Sister, look!What is this thing I'm holding?
A kite!
Haha
-Give it to me!- Who do you call a bad brother?- Give it to me!
You misheard me. You're a good brother.Give me!
Brother, let's go fly the kite.
Ok, but now is not a good time.
Because I have to go to the palace in a while.
For what cause?
The Emperor and I are preparing to catcha great bastard.
Catch a great bastard?I'm coming too!
You can't, it's too dangerous.
Wait until I'm back and thenwe'll play together, OK?
OK. Agreed.Just don't break this promise.
Hmm.
Oboi's henchmen are all over in the court and beyond
The Emperor is still so young.
How can he face such an opponent?
This is all my fault.I shouldn't have let him go.
- We should have waited for several more years.- What are you afraid of?
This Is Aisin-Gioro Xuanye.
Do you agree?When can we go fly a kite?
Fine, fine,Now is OK, little lady
- Hello, elder.
- Father
Liang'er.
What a nice kite,who did you get it from?
Brother Rong Ruo gave it to me.
That young man...
Rong Ruo said he has to go catch a great bastard together with the Emperor,
so he is not available to play with me now.
Emperor, Aobai has alreadyentered the Meridian gate.
When he was eight he ascended the throne.At 14 he became the de facto Emperor
and has already seen some great turmoil.
With the overbearing minister Oboi in controlhe will never have real power.
If he wins this war,
then we can enjoy with him a peaceful and grand kingdom.
Then what if he loses?
We'll die with him.
- Nalan Mingzhu?- Abunai, receive the decree.
The Grand Empress Dowager's decree.
Chahar banner leader - Abunai , and Oboi are secretly communicating and forming an opposition group.
Evidence is complete.From now on, be on house arrest at the capital's Chuen He Jun.
Not allowed to leave without a decree.That's all.
Minister, you're taking the Emperor's private road.
Abunai
Are you still planning to secretly inform Aobai?
I only wish for my family to be safe.
Brother-in-law,
if you knew that this would happen,why did you still do what you did?
Timing & subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt team@Viki
Your Majesty, Oboi is here.
Minister Oboi, help me up.
I, Minister Oboi, pay respect to you, Your Majesty.
Minister Oboi, you are just in time.
I wanted you to come today so that you can teach these bodyguards of mine.
This is not acceptable!Your Majesty, your father entrusted you to me not to let you enjoy yourself.
If you don't start improving,
I won't have the face to face the late Emperor.
I hope Your Majesty will reflect on one's action well and bring out the proper Emperor's stance.
I'll take my leave now.
Stay right there!
Minister Oboi, I heard that you are the top warrior of our Qing Dynasty.
His Majesty wants you to teach us.
Why are you deliberately refusing it?If this gets out
that Minister Oboi is afraid of us,
then this might sound bad...
What nonsense are you saying?
Rong Ruo, don't be disrespectful to Minister Oboi!
Minister Oboi has won lots of battles.Himself alone is equivalent to ten people.
How can he be afraid of children like you?
He must have his own reasons, so stop forcing him.
Your Majesty is right.
If Minster Oboi is defeated by little children like us...
- Child, you want to die?- Rong Ruo is requesting Minister Oboi to teach me
and experience the Minister's one-against-ten's power.
Since Your Majesty has such interest,then I'll give you a lesson on behalf of His Majesty.
Inside this place?
You're right.Duke Prince (Emperor's cousin), Minister Oboi has been called by the Emperor this morning.
He hasn't come back yet.
All officials that have a close relationship with Minister Oboi were locked up.
I'm afraid there will be a big change soon.
Then what should we do?
Right now, we can only save the Duke, (Previous Emperor's brother).
then think of a plan to save Minister Oboi.
We're already in this situation and you're still undecided, My Prince?
If you keep being undecided, then your father will die soon.
Who are you?
Wu Zi Mo, how could you kill the imperial guards?
Duke Prince, we can't wait any longer.
Stop this.Killing the royal guards is equivalent to inciting rebellion.
The wood has already become a boat.You can't change anything anymore.
Minister Oboi, you've fallen into my trap!
Minister Oboi, you lost!
So everything that happened today
was part of your plan!
- Father.- Who told you to come?
Father, are you alright?
We used to have a small chance to survive.
But now, it looks like, we are really going to die.
How dare you Oboi!Misleading Your Majesty indiscriminately.
Quickly stop and accept your arrest!
Open your eyes wider and look!
The sword scars on my body
are all because of your Aisin-Gioro family,
your grandfather Huang Tai Ji, and the previous Emperor Shuen Zhi.
All of their lives were saved by me.
Or else, how can you have a land in which to be an Emperor?
The previous Emperor entrusted you to me so that I could teach you how to become a good Emperor.
I think a little rascal like you
is unworthy to become an Emperor.
Your Majesty!
Rong Ruo!Rong Ruo!
Oboi, being a public official of the country,
you were greatly entrusted by the previous Emperor, but you misused your power.
This can be deemed as violating the previous Emperor's will.
Because of your greed, you grabbed land
and caused the people to lose their homes and get separated from their families.
This can be deemed as oppressing the people.
You act unlawfully, deceiving the Emperor, and monopolizing power.
I should be removing your status and sending you to the guillotine.
But considering that you have worked for this country for so long, I will spare you from death.
Lifelong imprisonment!Men, take him away!

The Emperor has arrived!
I am here to greet Grandmother and Mother with good health.
Hurry and get up.
Thank you, Imperial Grandmother.
Your Majesty.
Mother, I've let you worry.
It's fine as long as you are fine.
Mother, you don't need to worry.
Aren't I already here, safe and sound?
Imperial Grandmother, I've already detained Oboi.
Hurry and come here, I want to see you up close.
Little lady...Little lady...
Little lady, where did you run to now?
Little lady!
Bad brother!Have you already prepared my birthday present?
Usually, father and mother like you the most.I've already given way for you many times.
So your present...I won't give you any anymore.
No way. I won't accept that.You promised that you would give it to me.
If you won't give it to me, then I'll tell father and mother
that you are secretly playing with these.
Give that to me.Don't throw it.
You mischievous girl!Look, I will teach you a lesson!
- Don't run!- You can't hit me.
- Stay right there!- You can't hit me...
I am not stopping.
Stay right there!
I won't...
- Come and get me.- Look how I'll catch you!
Liang'er and Ah Si Hai, come here.
- Mother- Mother
I made some almond porridge for you.
Come, Liang'er.
Look at you, your head is full of sweat from running.
Asihai, you're the brother.
You should give way to your sister more.
Hear that?Mother told you to yield to me more.
This almond porridge, take only a mouthful.
Leave the rest to me.
For what reason?
Because today is my birthday.
Mother, isn't it?
Yes, you unruly little lady.
In this Duke's mansion, no one dares to offend you.
Presently, mother has a headachefor when you grow up,
what in-laws will want to have you?
Isn't Brother Rong Ruo willing?
Who said I want Brother Rong Rong?
Greetings, Grand Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, and Your Majesty.
No need.
Grand Empress Dowager, I just received a message earlier
that a group of people forcibly entered Chuen He Jun
and killed all the royal guards inside and rescued the Chahar banner leader.
What happened?
Abunai is my brother-in-law.
Now that he dared to rebel,I'm at fault for not sensing it sooner.
Let the Grand Empress Dowager and Your Majesty decide.
Xuan Ye
Catching Oboi is just the beginning.
If you don't kill all his conspirators,
this poison cannot be totally cured.
I understand.
Nalan Mingzhu, I order you to immediately bring soldiers to stop the rebels.
You must bring back the Chahar banner leader.
Wait.
What if they resist arrest?
If they do, kill all those who resist.
Come and catch me.
Brother.
Catch me.
I got you!
Careful.
- What's wrong?- Hurry and prepare the luggage.
We have to leave the capital immediately.
- Bu Er Ni, prepare the horses.- Yes.
Did something bad happen?
Let's not talk anymore.Hurry now.
- Hurry!- Ok. Let's go.
Father, where did you go?I've waited for you all day already.
Liang'er be good.
It's such a shame that father cannot celebrate your birthday anymore.
Why?
Because we have to go.
Why do we need to go?
If we don't go, His Majesty will lock Father up.
Why will His Majesty lock Father up?
Because His Majesty says that
Father is always absent during morning court.
That's why he's not happy.
This Emperor really doesn't know how to be understanding of his subjects.
Father, let's be together everyday from now on.
If this Emperor isn't happy about that,
then just let him be unhappy about it.
Okay. Okay.
Liang'er, from this day on, we will never be apart.
Hurry... Hurry up... Hurry...
Husband, we've finished the preparations.
Good, let's go.
Chahar banner leader, we still can't leave yet.
We still have to save Minister Aobai.
If we don't go now, I may have to pay with my whole family's lives.
By now, do you think Your Majesty will still let us go?
Let's go.
You go first.It's inappropriate for me to be here.
Yes.
Liang'er
- Don't be afraid.- Mother.
Abunai, listen to the decree.
From the Emperor's words,
Abunai conspired with the opposition and planned to rebel.
This is of the highest crime. You are under arrest and will be brought back to the capital then will wait there for your sentence.
Wife, Bu Er Ni and family members
are to be detained and interrogated later.If any resistance is met, kill and let no one escape.
That's all.
I admit to my crime.
I agree to listen to the Emperor's decision.
But I'm begging Your Majesty to be kind and let my family go.
Men, take Abunai away.
Yes.
Bu Er Ni!
How dare you, unruly subject!
Father, hurry and go!
Kill!
Stop fighting!
Father! Hurry and go!
Bu Er Ni!
- Master, hurry and go!- Brother!
Brother!
Bu Er Ni!
Liang'er, hurry and go!
How dare you!
Brother!
Careful.
Husband!
- Wife!- Mother!
- Father.- Mother!
Mother... Father...
Liang'er...
Promise Mother, you must live.
Promise mother...
Mother...
Father...
Father!
Greetings, Your Majesty!
Rise.
Your Majesty, the migrants at the outskirts want to get into the capital to submit their complaints.
They have already heard of Abunai's capture and their lands have been returned to them.
They all accepted your grace with both hands and are preparing to go home now.
This is really good news.
Rong Ruo, let's go.Accompany me to see them.
Okay.I'll call some more guards to accompany us.
I want to do it undercover
so as not to disturb the people.
How do I get to the Nalan Residence?
Where did a beggar like you come from?Get lost!
Buns are cooked already!Hurry and buy!
Hurry and go! Go!
Brother, look.
Little friend, are you hungry?
Have some and eat.
Where are you going?
Do you know how to get to the Nalan Residence?
I know.I know it too well.
Let's go.I'll take you there.
Let me out!
- Shut up!- Let me out!
I only thought that we were coming out to get some things,didn't think that we'd harvest something this good.
Look at this girl's face, good features and full of life.
If we bring her to the Luo Yang Wan Whorehouse, she might be worth more than all the things in this carriage.
Heard that the present Emperor is just 10 plus years old. but he managed to subdue Oboi.
He's really young and good in marital arts.
The Emperor is wise. Oboi has been arrested.We're saved!
That's right.
Your Majesty.
When we're outside, just call me Ye San.
Ye San?
- What are you doing? Let go!- Release it or I'll kill you.
What are you doing?Someone is stealing!
Help me! Someone stole my stuff!
What a rascal!
Hey! Stop that!
My horse!
Surrender all the things you've stolen.
Your Majesty.
Catch the Emperor alive as hostage for Minister Oboi's release.
Oh no! The girl got away!
Help me!Help!
Stay right there!
Help me!
Girl!
- Help!- Stay right there!
Why are there other people?
They are running after me.Hold tight.
I'm here to accept the sin for my son.
He shouldn't have taken His Majesty to such a dangerous place.
Saying this now doesn't make up for anything.
Why don't you just hurry and look for them?
I don't care if you have to turn the whole city outskirts upside down.
You must bring the Emperor back here unharmed.
Little girl, it's dangerous for you to stay with me.
Hold on to this rope, don't let go.
Hurry and go now.
Big Brother, I won't go.You're hurt. I won't leave you alone.
We all have to live.
They're coming.Hurry and leave.
Big Brother, I got an idea.
Carefully look for them!
Even if you need to dig three meters deep, you must find them!
Yes!
Let's go.Go.
They're there!Follow them!
Hurry!
Wait a minute.
What is this?
If my family sees this,
then they will know that we are here and they will come and save us.
Big Brother still has a family
while I'm the only one left.
Big Brother, your wound is still bleeding.You better not move too much.
Let's first look for a safe place and hide.
We've been tricked!
That boy's hurt.They won't be able to go far.
Search for them!
Yu!
Ye San!
Ye San, where are you?
Master Nalan.
Why are you here?
His Majesty is missing.
How did you know?
The news has already spread through the palace.
Little girl, what's your name?
I'm called Liang'er.How about you?
I'm called Ye San.
No wonder you wrote San (3) on the rock earlier.
The sky is about to go dark.Why don't we start a fire?
Start a fire?
You also know how to do that?
I learned this from my brother.My brother knows everything.
He knows how to make a fire.He knows how to throw knives.
Why are you suddenly crying?
My brother has died.I can never see him again.
Don't cry.Just treat me as your brother, ok?
Ye San!
Yu!
His Majesty is still here in the vicinity.Carefully search the area!
Yes!
Liang'er, I'm a bit tired.
I want to sleep for a while.
Can you... not sleep?
I... I'm afraid.
Just take this sword and leave me here.
Run for your own life.
Mom, mom
Liang'er, what happened?
There there. Don't cry.
Liang'er, seriously, what happened?
Yesterday was the last birthday I will celebrate with my family.
I will never celebrate my birthday again.
I'll celebrate it with you in the future.
But you are not my family member.
Then I'll be your family in the future, how about that?
Are you serious?
Yes.
I'll take care of you and protect you from now on.
Have you been staying here all the time?
Weren't you scared?
Of course I was scared. But since you saved me,
I can't leave you behind.
I have a way to keep fear away from you for good.
What's that?
Give me your hand and watch this.
(drawing)
Tiger is the king of all animals.
It will protect you from fear.
Go and search!
Don't be scared.
This way. Come with me.
Let's go.
Liang'er, run now! I'll distract the bad men.
No!
It's okay. Nothing bad is going to happen to me.
I am the king of all beasts (lion), nothing will happen to me.If you don't believe me,
meet me at the gate of Fuyou Temple three days from now.
I will definitely be fine and waiting for you there.
No, I don't want to leave you.
I can't lose you again!
Don't panic. Come with me.
Liang'er, hurry!
They are over there. Come on!
Liang'er
Little tiger is here.Don't be afraid.
You go first.
Where are you going?
Go!
Ye San!
