Please announce the edict
Please stand up inspector
I dare not
I'm the edict
What does this edict mean then?
Your majesty wants me to stay with you
Isn't this obvious?
If you refuse to accept the edict
It's not necessary for this edict to exist then
I'm already married
If I don't go home the wife and the children will wait for me
I'm going home
It's late now. The gate is closed and the wagon left already
Please stay over night here
This is inappropriate
I will ask the emperor for advise
Are you resisting the edict?
Before I receive any new edicts from the Emperor
Why don't you just go along with the emperor's arrangement?
Why are you being a coward Inspector?
My lady is not a tiger. She won't bite you
Xiao Yuan
The meal is ready
I hope you will enjoy my cooking.
Please
Walk
I set up the feast in the kiosk
Please you go first
I heard that you are good at cooking
These small dishes
I hope you can enjoy them
The joy of cooking is releasing yourself
Cook whatever you feel like to cook
It's not a profound subject
Why don't you eat?
Are you afraid that I will poison you?
No
I made these appetizers for you in person
Please have a try
Please help yourself too
How is it?
You are really good at this
Compared with your wife's cooking skills, what do you think of mine?
I often cook with my wife
She is more familiar with what I like
You two are all good at this
How luck she is
Not to mention the ordinary courtier in the court
Even within the normal couple
Very few people are willing to cook with wife
Don't flatter me
We ought to respect and help each other as a couple
Cooking and doing housework together are actually enjoying the relationships between us
It's nothing
Since you mentioned about your wife
I heard that your wife is a ranger in Jiang Hu when she was young
I wonder how a scholar like you
met a woman like that
According to your expression
You must an intellectual as well
My family business
is boring to talk about
I just heard that
you are afraid of your wife very much
I didn't poke around your family issue on purpose
I just do my job
Don't blame me for this
Let me toast to you
Xiao Yuan
Pour a bottle for Inspector
Cheers
My wife and I are from the same hometown
Till now
We have been married for twenty years
She liked playing with swords when she was young
She was called Little Taisui in underground martial art world
She left that world after marrying me
She became the pillar of my family
We are just ordinary couple
If there is something special
It's we never abandon each other
Other might say I'm afraid of my wife
I would say that's because I love her deeply
Never abandoning each other
Never leave each other?
Inspector
Have some hot soup
The soup will turn cold if you don't drink them
Miss
You have great cooking skills
but I don't really enjoy this meal
Please notify the Emperor as early as possible
Let me go home early
Staying over for one or two more days will not disturb your schedule
Please have some more dishes
After two ays
I will prepare some dishes from your hometown
How many days I ought to stay here?
I don't know how long you should stay
You need to ask the Emperor about it
Let's begin our meal anyway
Zi Dan
Why do you come here?
Quick, have a look at this
Si Ma Yi didn't go into the capital after coming back
The more strange thing is that the Emperor arranged a woman to stay with him
He is enjoying the arrangements now
I don't know what this means
The Emperor tried to award him or?
Have you heard Si Ma Yi has a reputation for amorousness?
No - That's it then
Bo Ren
You
underestimated our Emperor
Zi Dan, you mean the Emperor doesn't trust him completely?
I have said so before
A stranger won't be able to come between the families. I got it right didn't I?
But this also reminds me
There are two princesses under Shan Yang Duke
They are really beautiful
You want present these two princesses to the Emperor?
Will he want them?
All these year
in order to please the old King
he dared not touch women or wines
It's time for him to relax a bit
What's more, he has no reasons to turn me down
Zi Dan
The Emperor is a smart person
We can't go too far on certain issues
Bo Ren
Your son is right
The Emperor is becoming more like the old King now
You must be tired today
You can take a bath here later
You can rest here tonight
Please go back Miss
What are you doing?
Are you stupid? Help you taking the bath
Why is she so rude?
Xiao Yuan
You can leave now - Yes
Miss
Although I don't know what the Emperor means
But he should...
He doesn't want me to be like this I'm sure
After listening to me you will know why you have to be like this
Tell me then
Don't you know
The Emperor is concerned about you?
Why would he be concerned?
First Emperor of Qin gave 600 thousand troops to Wang Jian to attack Chu
Before Wang Jian set off he continue asking for lands and golds from the Emperor
This indicates he had no ambition but just wanted to be rich
You are in more dangerous position than Wang Jian
You will not tar yourself with money
Because the big families will not support you if you act like that
Have you ever thought what could protect you?
Therefore the emperor sends you
Right
This is the smallest price you would pay
You will not have to tar yourself with money
You can also reassure the mind of the Emperor
Isn't this great?
Miss
I am loyal to the Emperor
I can swear on this
Why would he send someone to test me?
Aren't you afraid with your high position in court
someone would frame you?
The Emperor and I knows each other
He treats me like his own hands. I treat him like my heart
I'm not afraid of those kind of framing
Listening to what you have said
in your eyes
I'm more fearful than those villains in court
Not true
I have my own principles
If I step on the wrong path I couldn't save myself
Alright. Since you don't want to get bathed
You can rest early then. — Please you can rest whenever you want
Please Inspector
Please Miss
How should I response to your acts like this?
I really think on behalf of you
You are a nice girl. If you insist on this
I will drag you down on this
If you really don't want this
and don't want that
then you will really drag me down
We are just pretending
Why so serious?
You just need to tell the Emperor
I'm totally loyal to the Emperor
The Emperor did know you are loyal to him
That's why he gave me to you
Let me spend the night with you
None-sense
No great Emperor will send an edict to the bed of a courtier
He has nothing else to do?
Please watch your mouth
The emperor and I has known each other for a long time
The Emperor is full of courage and wisdom when he was young
He would never do something ridiculous like this
OK then. I will show you this ridiculous edict
Inspector Si Ma Yi receives the edict
Where is the edict?
Inspector Si Ma Yi listens to the edict
Didn't you just say
You and the Emperor are hands and hearts to each other
Do you want to guess what the edict says
I don't know just tell me
Isn't it ridiculous?
【Gong Ke Nai Huan, meaning after conquering her please return her 】
Long live the Emperor
Please accept the edict
I can't accept this edict
Inspector
Don't tell me you are going to refuse the edict
Your majesty
I just got out of the jail
I was working hard for the new policy and traveled a long distant to here
Even I'm willing to...
I don't have the strength to spend
The night with the messenger you sent
Your majesty
You are full of wisdom
I don't think you are powerless
instead you are just heartless tonight
Anyway
I will not force you onto this
How about this
You take a bath yourself under the edict
You take the rest yourself
You can do that at least right?
That will do
Enough
You can stand up now
We have a long way to go
Just return me after you conquering me
You two keep your eyes on him
Report anything suspicious to us
Roger
Cancel the monitor mission of the Inspector tonight
You two can leave
Yes
Cancel the mission?
Nobody is watching him then? - Don't worry
I have my own arrangement
That Si Ma Yi is really stupid
He didn't even accept your hospitality for what you have done for him
I think he is pretty interesting
If he is willing to do something tonight
He is a disgusting person then
It's because he didn't want to do it
It means he has a heart
Do we need to write a report to the Emperor for what happened today?
Xiao Yuan
Do you think I get fat?
I think you get skinner - It's better I'm skinny right?
My lady...
You go to rest early
Return it after conquering it
Ridiculous
Uncle
Sister in law
Didn't your brother come back with you?
He didn't go home?
He returned to the capital earlier than me
He never came back home. He didn't send back any letters either
I thought he was with the Emperor
The Emperor sent soldiers to escort him back to the capital
There shouldn't be any problems
I will go to ask around at the Minister department
No way they can let an Inspector go missing under their watch
Don't worry Mom. I will ask uncle Chen Qun too
OK - Since it's the Emperor sent people to escort him
why don't we just ask the Emperor directly? - You can't ask the Emperor whatever and whenever you want
I will go now - Go ahead
Even you want to show your loyalties to the Emperor
You don't need to write the memorial this early in the morning
I'm writing about the memorial that can let me go back home early
I'm so unlikable that you don't even want to stay a second with me?
Don't misunderstand me
Even the Emperor ordered me to stay here
There should be a deadline for this
How many days should I stay?
Leave alone the family issue, I also have many work to do
It's not convenient for me to stay here
You are referring to the new policy you proposed?
I fortunately saw your new policies
I have some naive advices for it
Your majesty
let you read the new policies?
He wants me to know about you
The new policies
are business memorials
It has nothing to do with me personally
The respected man treasures the morality and the base person just wants the profit
You are a smart person
The new policies you want to have
naturally are moral
and fit your interests
You flatter me
From the perspective of morality
The execution of nine grade selection system
encourage the scholar to participate in the government's works
The big families will be thrilled about this
That's why this time when the King claimed the throne
Very few old courtiers from Han stand up and go against this proposal
Compared with the old King
Xun Yu even disagree with the claim of throne. The situation is totally different for the new King
All these are your credits
You have great visions
So called morality
It means the thriving of the country
The interest are the interests of the emperor
People all want this
I dare not take the credits for all these
From the perspective of interests
Chen Qun and you
become the leaders of the big families
All the talents will be under your name
Your name will be like the market
This is the interest you gain
You are wrong on this
The so called talents you talked about
all belong to the emperor
I swear to god
New policies are the foundation of our country's future
If the country become rich and strong I will stay in countryside with my children and wife
Traveling the world
An honest word can scare you like this
You are about to do something big
Without any followers
How can you manage to pull these off?
You are wrong on this
You don't know me but the Emperor did
I return home immediately after the court everyday
I never tried to make friends or alliance with other courtiers
Enough
If you keep saying like this
I'm afraid you will try to go home again
How about this?
Since you like writing memorials
I will company you
Xiao Yuan, prepare the meal for us
The memorial you write
The emperor won't be able to read it now
How about letting me comment on your memorial
If I comment it in a wrong way
You can punish me
Miss
We might walk on a wrong path if we continue this
What wrong path?
Why don't I understand what you said?
You picture the punishment in a wrong way do you?
I'm saying if we live together here for a long time
If anyone knows about it
It will cause you inconvenience
You misspell the word
Which word?
This "Gratitude"
There is an extra dot on it
I will amend it
Welcome back your majesty
Stand up quickly
Ruier
I haven't seen you for at least half an year
You grow tall like this
Do you study hard?
I finish the Four Books
I'm learning poetry and the book of Changes with teacher recently
The ancient said there is nothing to say if we don't learn poetry
Dong Xiang
If you are willing
You can learn with your brother
Mother is teaching me poetry too
She is even better than brother's teacher
I knew your mother is a talented woman
You all can return to you place now
I'm tired now
I will test your learnings if I have spared time
A Zhao
Stay with me
Ruier, let's go
You weren't happy just now?
I am happy
I can tell
Bring me a son
So that I can make your the empress
Mrs Zhen is your original wife
You can't break the traditions
We can talk about that later
Your majesty
I have a request
This depends on whether I'm happy
I want you to inform me
where does the Inspector Si Ma go?
Your sister tell you to ask about it right?
My sister found my brother in law missing yesterday
She can't sleep
Do you know his whereabout?
Your last name is Guo
Her last name is Zhang
What kind of sister is she?
She saved me and helped me
Dong Han Dynasty
The court is busy dealing with the eunuch and the royal families
I limited the power of eunuch and I will try to limit the power of the royal families
You are my woman
You forget about the things happened before you enter the palace
I don't want you to have a brother in law that is also an Inspector in court.
I will not intervene with the court
But this time
I just want you to tell me
the whereabout of my brother in law
If you tell Zhang Chun Hua about this
then you can't stay at my place tonight
It's up to you
Your majesty
Are you serious?
A king will not lie
She is worried about her husband
Please allow me to tell my sister
Go ahead
Just go
Did the Inspector have a rest under the edict of the Emperor?
I slept well and took the bath as the edict says
The memorial I gave you
Have you given those to the Emperor? Has he read them?
I have presented them but when will the emperor read them
I will not know about it
Are you planning
Writing a memorial everyday to the emperor to allow you to return home?
The execution of the new policies
is hard and busy but I'm just enjoying life at this peaceful environment
I don't feel right
You really worked hard but mentioning about this new policy
I have some opinions
Not sure if you are willing to listen to my suggestions?
I'm listening
Please
You first
Please Inspector
The new policy you proposed
choose the family background as one of the standards
This encourages the big families. Although the connections in big families are important
it also will create two shortcomings
The first one is that the selection of the courtiers will be monopolized by the big families
This blocks the path of the talents that have weak family backgrounds
The second shortcoming is the courtier will easily grow power based on families
You must be careful with this
I am enlightened by what you said
I'm grateful for the instructions from the emperor
I am totally enlightened by it
I will remember this
How do you know
what I just said comes from the emperor
Didn't the emperor say those opinions?
They are just my personal opinions
I just don't want you to ignore those talents in lower rank of the society
Your insights
are far beyond the normal courtiers
No matter
The talents from a poor family or a rich family
I will treat them the same
Please help me to report to the Emperor
I will not block the path of poor families' talents
I will not form a clique to pursue selfish interest
You can do what you are doing now. Just make sure you have a clear conscience
Since you have mentioned about the works
I really want to hurry back
Among those talents
How many of them are from poor families
I'm really worried
Why do you want to leave so badly?
You are in high position in the court
You can stay calm facing all the rumors and blames
Why are you so upset once you stay at my place?
To be honest, I'm outside alone and the families are still waiting
I'm worried for them
OK then
I have a way to ease your worries
Another edict?
Please follow me
No one cross the river but you do
Not many people can cross the river safely
I hope
You can go upstream
and cross the river safely
Why do you know how to play this melody
Your majesty told me
You know very well about this melody
Hope you can teach me how to play this
I'm upset now and don't have the mood to play melody
The melody contains the ideas in your mind. The emperor also wants to know what is in your mind
Your majesty
My mind is like the water
Your mind is like the water?
Zheng Chong said this sentence in Han Ai Di period
As for you, your mind is really like water
Or is like waves in sea
I can only tell after you play the melody
This is also the edict from the emperor?
What do you think?
There is an imperial edict under the String?
Mind like water
I will wait for your melody Inspector
Please make some room for me
I want to see how you play closely
You can only see it after you play
Your majesty
is really considerate and careful
But his mind is playful and hard to predict
He has nothing else to do. Watch your mouth
I will play zither
What are you doing?
Si Ma Yi
What are you doing?
Playing zither
You didn't go home
You are playing zither with this lady?
There is an edict under the zither
Where is it?
Where is the edict? I never said there is one
Who is she?
Let's talk about this back home - Who is she!
Let's go back home
This is the place that emperor gave Inspector to rest and take bath
It's inappropriate for you to do such things
I'm giving lessons to my husband. What does it have to do with you?
Who are you?
I'm... - Let's go back home to talk about this!
Let her finish the sentence
What are you doing?
Don't drag me
My lady
You just let him go?
The show just begins
You can really make stories. An edict under the zither?
You continue to lie? - There is no edict. I was fooled by this woman
The first night, in the room I rest and take bath
There is an edict indeed
You take bath and sleep with her?
Did you take bath and sleep with her?
How can I explain myself as you being mad like this?
This is a long story
The emperor indeed draft an edict
Let me go to that woman... - Bullshit
The emperor gave order to let you sleep and take bath with her?
And you agree?
How would I do such nasty things?
I mean that woman is not an ordinary woman
That woman is a pawn sent by the emperor
to spy on me
What bullshit pawn?
Father, mother
What are you doing dad?
Your mother lost a hair pin
A jade hair pin right?
Right. Have you found it?
I will find it very soon
Where is it? - I'm looking for it
Why do you come here Shier? - It's about you
You and my mom
are not easy in last twenty years
We can't allow a second woman to come into our family
Listen to him
That is my son
Don't worry Shier. I will not do anything wrong to your mother
It's not a good news for our family
Don't talk to anyone about this within the house
I will handle this carefully
Shut the door on your way out
I will leave now
I don't believe an emperor will care about a courtier's family issue
What did he write on the edict?
He wrote that you should take bath and sleep with her?
Why do you put it in such nasty way?
The emperor is a civilized person. He will not use this kind of expression
What did he write then? - The edicts said
Return it after conquering it. - Return what, conquer what?
Let you fight her on the bed?
What do you want？ Let you two have a baby?
Would I do such thing?
I refused her in her face
I said I can't do this even I want to
You want to?
What do you want?
Your kids are grown up now
You think I'm old now?
Father, mother
What are you doing dad?
Finding hair spin for your mother
A jade hair spin right?
