Rule The World
Episode 21
Tomorrow, get a needle and strings. Sew this into the bed-curtain.
But how can people see it?
It's prince Daisan's gift.
I think it should be put in the living room.
Sew it in the bed-curtain.
I just want to see it by myself.
My lady.
This must be a boy.
A precious boy.
I don't get it.
Such a great thing.
Why you're still hiding it?
This child came all of a sudden.
Don't know if Beile will get angry.
Why would he?
Prince Hong Taiji doesn't have any child.
Beile was always so worried about him.
Prince Cuyen,
Even prince Daisan has already had...
Had what?
Congrats, my lord.
My lord.
Before I entered the room,
The servants are all leaving here with precious things.
Good.
I didn't say anything yet.
And you have already taken everything?
How bold are you.
We dare not!
Ease your anger, my lord.
The second the doctor left, Gifts from the other mansions had been sent in.
Yiliqi was here with me all along.
She didn't pass anything out.
Gedai won't say anything out, either.
Now you're pregnant.
Must take care of yourself.
Come, sit here.
Being pregnant is a good thing.
You should be rewarded.
Look, you maids and servants are so nervous.
If words get out, that's not good. We dare not.
Leave us.
Yes, my lord.
Ease your anger, my lord.
Gedai doesn't care about any rewards.
If I didn't feel dizzy and called in a doctor,
I didn't know I'm pregnant, either.
I let my lord down.
Let my princess down.
Why you're on your kneels again?
Dongge must have told you.
Now you're a master.
Don't belittle yourself.
Arise.
I'm not sad.
Nor mad.
What about princess?
This whole thing,
Isn't between you and her.
It's between me and her.
Don't worry.
Now you're pregnant.
You must give birth to him safely.
It's my first baby after all.
It's all my fault.
My lord.
Gedai will go explain it to princess with you.
If princess dislikes it or hates it,
I can't let her hold it.
We can't.
Now this situation,
There're so many eyes on me and Dongge.
Look,
This embroidery and material are all from the Ming empire.
According to today's information,
The Ming's minister have accused the Liaodong general Li Chengliang.
of giving up eight hundred li land,
leading his soldiers to drive away thousands of farmers.
The people at the border are bleeding.
The Ming emperor has dismissed him.
Jianzhou and Liaodong have been intense for years.
Father can hardly hide it anymore.
He hates the Hans and their things for so long.
All the relatives in Hetuala know that.
At this time,
where did uncle and brother Daisan get these Ming things?
Gedai doesn't know about these stuff.
Last time that battle at Wujie Rock.
Uncle acted negatively.
Father punished him as an example to warn the others.
Uncle is so ashamed.
He has been visiting the Ming officers to prepare for his future.
I'm afraid our brothers will fall apart
before this war starts.
Father has taken the military power away from uncle.
So he will need some other man in charge.
It is a good thing for me.
But if he knew Dongge and me have an affair.
No.
Beile won't find that out.
I'm afraid that's just a matter of time.
Your pregnancy,
the doctor hasn't left for four hours,
I haven't had time to tell father,
where did those gifts come from?
These days, me and Dongge were too careless.
I didn't realize there're so many spies of the others.
Those servants don't focus on the outside,
but only on the masters' moves.
That can't be indulged.
If father found out that now,
the military power would not be mine.
You know Dongge,
She'd rather die than give up herself.
I'm afraid father will send her out in rage.
Can't let Beile send princess out again.
Those men outside are all drooling over princess.
If he sent her out,
She will never be back.
Gedai.
Tomorrow, I'll report to father about your pregnancy.
To allow you to take charge of this mansion.
As long as you give birth to our child.
You'll be the prime consort.
In this mansion,
No matter it's for me or Dongge.
Or for our child,
You must keep an eye on everything.
Must find out those servants
who have other intentions.
Replace them if you can,
If you can't, leave them there.
But you're pregnant,
you shouldn't be considering these...
besides your body...
I can.
But,
But princess ...
I'll think about it.
I'll stay in the study tonight as well.
You should rest early.
Get rid of those Ming empire stuff secretly.
Don't let anyone know.
Yes, my lord.
Take care, my lord.
My child.
Mom really don't know the time of your coming is good or not.
That's nice.
Now Li Chengliang is gone.
Here comes Xiong Tingbi.
Li Chengliang just wants to slap us.
But Xiong Tingbi wants to choke our Jianzhou's neck.
Build fortress and store grains to pacify people.
Secretly make weapons to protect themselves.
He cuts the horse market off at Liaodong
without a word.
Where are our inside people?
The money we paid them every year.
What does that give us?
Beile,
Back then, Li Chengliang advised the Ming emperor. To build six fortress defense.
Due to that defense.
Jianzhou recovered these clans.
We get stronger under their radar. Now the six fortress have been taken down.
XiongTingbi has to pacify the refugees. And he has been intense with us Jianhou.
Our Jurchens have been making our lives on planting and selling ginsengs.
Now the horse market is off.
It seems they're guarding themselves.
But their real purpose is rather confusing.
Father, I think
they're pushing us, so we would attack first.
So we must think twice about it.
Father.
We've been taking over the Liaodong borders for years.
Now what's that to be afraid of?
Now Xiong Tingbi just came here.
Let's go take some cities from him.
At that time,
he won't be able to close horse market again.
Innocent child.
What did you say?
What?
You've grown up
So uncle can't say that anymore?
You...
Brother.
According to our spies, Xiong Tingbi asked for one hundred and eighty thousand soldiers
to guard Yunyang, Qinghe, Fushun, Sanchaer.
and Zhenjing's borders.
They can handle little battle on their own.
As for the big battle,
They can react to back up the others.
Besides, they've selected strong soldiers
To conduct guerrilla warfare.
Their aim is to harass our Jianzhou's land and graze.
If we let them continue.
Then we'll have a lot to worry about.
Big brother,
I think at this time.
We should bring ginsengs to Ming emperor.
Give Xiong Tingbi some sweet
to let his guard down.
That can solve our urgent needs.
At present,
That's what we should really do.
Attack?
Prince Cuyen,
How?
Father,
On a second thought on the situation,
we really shouldn't attack for now.
How about let we discuss it before make any decision?
Of course uncle wouldn't want to attack.
If uncle agrees to attack someday.
I'll be surprised.
It's better that we not attack.
So he wouldn't need to make an excuse not to fight.
And let the chance pass. To let his nephews die in vain.
Cuyen.
Although Surhaci doesn't have military power now.
But he is still your uncle.
He has eyes and information from everywhere.
Can even get the Ming officers' military strategy.
You should learn those skills from him.
Yes.
I only want to expand Jianzhou's land, and head forwards.
I was being too reckless.
Attack or not.
We'll decide it later.
We can wait.
But those ginsengs at Liaodong border can't wait.
That will rot in two weeks.
What will those farmers live on?
Father.
I watched my consorts and servants deal with the ginsengs
In order to keep it for a long time.
They usually boil it and dry it in the sun.
That can keep it for over a month.
And in a better shape.
Or put it in the wine.
Can preserve it for even longer.
Your consort Gedai has been pregnant right?
Speaking of which,
this woman does know how to run a mansion.
Can put her in charge.
With such a prime consort,
Will ease my mind.
Fine.
Tell the farmers to deal with the ginsengs.
The rest we can sell it to Mongolia.
For those farmers who have bigger loss,
offer them a little more subsidy.
As for this battle.
Will we attack or not.
It can't be decided in a short time.
Eidu
Yes,
Go find out more information.
We'll discuss about it later.
Yes.
Okay.
Since that,
No more discuss.
We have got the most of ginsengs.
Let's go back and dry it and make ginseng wine.
Goodbye.
Surhaci.
Beile hasn't said dismiss yet.
I feel so dizzy,
I must be really sick.
I can't understand a word you're talking about.
What?
I just want to take brother's order to eat ginseng to recover.
Am I wrong?
Uncle.
That's not appropriate.
Surhaci is sick, he doesn't know what he's saying.
He should go back to rest.
It's okay, it's okay.
Let's continue.
Nothing serious.
Uncle!
If you left like this now.
What does father mean to you?
Surhaci
I dare you to leave.
Beile, ease your anger.
Surhaci has his reason.
Now the enemies are lurking.
We should unite against them.
Against them?
I think Surhaci is gonna give our Jianzhou away.
To be a happy Beile forever.
Ease your anger, Beile.
Princess. The kitchen just made this.
Smells very good.
No appetite.
Princess.
It's getting colder and colder.
You should eat more.
Why you're eating less than before?
Meng Jiao of Tang dynasty said,
Exquisite food will made you lost while rough clothes looks fat.
Princess loves poems.
I can't understand any.
Princess you're laughing.
You haven't gone out nor talked for days.
I was so afraid.
When a man falls in love,
He could get away.
When a woman falls in love.
She could never leave.
Turns out I'm also like that.
Beile called people to discuss things.
Yes.
An officer in Liaodong got replaced.
I heard the farmers in Jianzhou are having tough days.
When I went to kitchen, they're just going out.
Seems Beile is quite furious.
Then... Eighth prince is fine.
It was Surhaci who made him mad.
Gossipy.
Who is asking about him?
Tell them I doesn't feel well.
I'm not seeing anybody.
It's too cold. Let's go outside when it gets warmer.
Yes, my lady.
Such a long meeting today
It's almost at noon,
The lunch is ready.
We're waiting for you.
Greetings, princess Daisan.
Arise.
Sorry to interrupt,
My lord has warmed some wine.
Wants you to join him.
Who is your master?
A toast to you.
This wine is quite delicate.
but has a strong after taste.
Nice wine.
Here, Daisan.
Try this snack.
Every time when I eat things with uncle.
It's always so different.
I feel like a little kid.
It's not your uncle knows about life.
It's just the Ming empire is a big place.
Of course they have some delicate food and drink.
Daisan.
How did I treat you these years?
Thanks to uncle's help,
I can get this position now.
You also know that,
Me and your sons are always riding and drinking together.
We're quite close.
We talk about everything.
Seeing you hanging out together.
It reminds me of our five brothers' old times.
My father died young.
Left us five brothers.
Struggled and fought for life.
My second brother got so many wounds in battle.
He has to rest a lot.
My forth brother died without any child.
Fifth brother is too soft.
Only me and your father helped each other till now.
Can't go back now.
Uncle.
It's normal to argue in the business hall.
Take the other days for example.
My big brother was out of his mind.
Father threw a wine glass to his face.
But after that,
He is still his son.
He is still his father.
Same for today,
Father has his reason.
While uncle has yours.
I think,
No one is blaming the other side.
Daisan
Stop trying to mediate in front of your uncle.
Uncle wants to ask you one thing.
This year,
Is Nurhachi really not gonna pay tribute to Ming empire? Do you know about that?
Is that so?
I always thought it was some rumor among the servants.
I have fought in the battlefield for decades.
I know Nurhachi has got a lot of wounds
But I have more than him.
I'm not a man afraid of death.
But these years, Jianzhou has been recovering clans.
We lack of soldiers and grains.
If we attack them now.
Then the territory we've got
and revenge for Aisin Gioro will be given away.
Uncle,
You know father.
It's not that easy to change his mind.
What uncle is thinking...
I think...
Right, I can't talk Nurhachi out of that.
But I can't watch him go on a wrong path.
We'll lose.
I have checked my things.
The tribute,
if Nurhachi feels too embarrassed
I'll go instead of him.
Daisan.
I want to ask you one question.
You must be honest with uncle.
Do you dare to go with me?
My lord,
The dishes are cold.
Do you want me to warm it a little?
Daisan.
Pack your things.
Come instantly.
Uncle.
See you later.
Okay.
Those gifts and drinks sent by Surhaci,
Are they still in the storage?
Yes.
It's all there.
There's a picture,
Last time consort of prince Hong Taiji gets pregnant,
Prime consort sent it to her.
What a fool!
When did that send out?
It was two months ago.
Prime consort chose it in person.
Hong Taiji is fine.
What about the other mansions?
Did you send any?
Nothing else except that picture.
Burn it all up.
You mean...
I said burn all the gifts Surhachi sent here.
Pour the wine into the well.
Get my horse.
I need to go to Sure Beile's mansion.
But Sure Beile...
Do as I said.
Get my horse secretly.
Don't let anyone see it.
Now go.
Yes, my lord.
Prince Daisan, prince Daisan.
Beile has already fallen asleep.
I can't let you in.
Get out of my way.
It's urgent. But...
Prime consort is also in there. So what?
If you don't report. I'll let you beheaded tomorrow.
Greetings, father, mother.
What's wrong?
It's an emergency.
I have to let you know.
Guard the back door and side doors.
If anyone got away.
I'll have your heads instead.
Go in. Go.
Hurry. Hurry.
Where's Surhachi?
Without Sure Beile's order.
No one can hurt consorts and young lords.
Our lord is gone.
If you want to take us.
We'll go with you.
Good.
Take all of them!
Yes.
Let's go.
Move.
Hurry.
Move.
That's absurd.
One hundred and forty people?
Surhachi took one hundred and forty people out of Hetuala.
If it wasn't Daisan who came to tell me.
When will you find that out?
What your men and generals have been doing?
Forgive us.
I questioned the guards at the city gate.
Said Surhaci has a token of yours.
Said they're going out for a hunt.
So the soldiers dare not to stop them.
Father.
After I got the news.
I came immediately.
But I didn't expect uncle would leave so quickly.
Please punish me.
It's not your fault.
We're brothers,
but he took my token to open my city gate.
Abandoned me.
Fine.
Since he dares to leave.
He will not be your uncle
Nor third Beile in Jianzhou anymore.
Hurhan, my order.
Yes, my lord.
Confiscate all Surhaci's property.
Kill his wives and sons at once.
His generals, who is left?
Wurkun is still here.
Wurken.
Good.
He wants to serve Surhaci.
I will give him what he wants.
Let people in Hetuala witness his allegiance.
Hang him on the tree in front of Surhaci's mansion.
Burn him alive.
Ease your anger, father.
Xiong Tingbi just arrived here.
If he knew father punishes them like that.
He will laugh at us having internal conflicts.
And causes soldier concerns.
Now uncle has already headed to Liaodong
to pay the tribute.
I think we should see how Xiong Tingbi will react.
Then we can decide how to deal with them.
Surhaci was just blinded.
He is your brother,
And has made contributions to Jianzhou.
Please have mercy.
He left with a bunch of people.
That not only betrayed me and Jianzhou.
Also he is mocking me in front of the world.
Humiliating me.
If I forgive him,
People will think anyone can come and leave Hetuala as they wish!
Father.
Although uncle has left.
But he didn't take any of his wives and sons.
It means his heart is still here, He has no means to offend you.
Daisan.
I know Surhaci treated you well. After your mother died. He's been taking care of you.
But don't forget
who is your father.
Please ease your anger.
Hong Taiji.
You also want to offend me?
No.
I think
They deserve it.
Now the horse market has just closed.
Surhaci left to pay tribute behind father's back.
He is pushing father's boundaries.
If Ming accepts Surhaci's tribution.
Xiong Biting will laugh at father of
being such a coward to flatter them.
I'm afraid he will become much bolder.
If Ming doesn't accept his tribute.
Then Jianzhou will humiliate ourselves.
And those thousands tons of ginsengs,
This winter will be tough for our people.
That will break their heart.
Hong Taiji.
Don't say that.
He is our uncle.
Surhaci is hesitating and too soft.
That's why father should be tough.
To define our stand.
To show that emperor of Ming
Jianzhou is not afraid of him,
Father, I'm asking you to forget that he is your brother.
To punish him with due severity.
To make an example.
Hong Taiji.
How many days have you been here.
Listen to yourself.
Surhaci is your uncle.
He is a man who has fought along with your father to build our territory.
You're right.
Surhaci is my uncle.
He is my elder.
In military exploits.
He is my role model.
But there's only one leader in Jianzhou.
And only one kind of reputation for Jianzhou.
Father.
Surhaci, his property should be confiscated.
But his family must not know his plan. They're completely in the dark.
Father, please think about that.
Think twice.
Ease your anger, father.
Hong Taiji.
What do you think?
Father,
If we're talking about their contributions,
Arton Azasaktu is indulging in high living.
His life means nothing.
Wurkun is Surhaci's man.
But he didn't persuade his master to be loyal, that should be punished.
His second son Amin has many military exploit.
Can keep his life for now.
Jirgalang is still young.
Can let a integrity man to raise him up.
His prime consort and concubines are all important minister's daughters.
Can lock them up for now to make an example.
Also gives Surhaci a way out.
Hurhan.
Is that clear?
Yes.
I'll do it right away.
Hong Taiji.
Cuyen.
Thank you.
Thank you for protecting Amin and uncle's family.
But now uncle is gone.
Don't know how will this end.
I'm afraid he will come back soon.
At that time, if father wants to punish him
You and me won't talk him out of it.
I know I shouldn't say this.
But I were him.
I will not come back.
The officers of Ming won't dare to keep him.
They'd like to tie him up and throw him back.
So they can sit and watch how we fight.
Eidu was with father when they started all this.
Uncle and father have been through difficulties together.
As for them,
It feels like they're being punished.
But you spoke that before father.
Eidu is also your father-in-law
I'm afraid he wouldn't understand.
It's not easy for you.
In my heart,
I'm glad someone can understand me.
My son,
I let you down.
My lord.
What's that?
I...
What happened to your hair?
That general Xiong.
First he said he is sick, won't see me.
I follow your order.
To knock their door day and night.
The soldiers of general Xiong.
They...
They cut my hair!
They mocked at me, said I'm a bald dog.
They beat me.
And threw me out.
I...
I let you down, Beile.
I made all of these by myself.
If Nurhaci wants to punish someone.
Punish me.
If he wants to kill
Take my life. My lord!
Only threw them in the dungeon?
Yes.
So Beile did show mercy to his brother.
That Surhaci.
he's really gonna come back?
Who is dealing with that?
Prince Hong Taiji.
Sorry, my lady.
It's boring anyway.
Leave it.
Comb my hair.
It's not your fault.
Actually, I don't know if I can say it.
Since you said that.
Must be something you shouldn't say.
Surhaci's thing has been announced to the public?
Not yet.
I made some inquires.
Then pretend we don't know anything at today's feast.
Yes, my lady.
It's okay now.
Yes, my lady.
Here, brother, Cheers. Cheers.
I'll fill it for you.
Here.
Here, here.
Here.
Thanks.
Daisan.
You're still that attracting girls like before.
Look.
You came out with your jealousy wife.
Now those girls are all circling around you.
Here.
Are you blind?
Don't stop me.
Princess, you can't get inside.
Let me go.
