Episode Twenty-four
You can see Jiuyou Platform from here.
Chun'er.
No matter what you are trying to do now
will be useless.
Mother.
Why are you so heartless?
Yan Xun has been involved into the rebellion.
If you try to stand up for him openly,
you will be disobedient to your father.
At that time, not to mention the maids
in your palace,
even your brother and I
will be implicated into this.
Mother.
So why did you bring us
to this cruel place?
The reason I brought you here
is that I want you know
whether you are the descendants of the princes
or the descendants of nobles,
you are still so close
to the bloodied blade.
The vice supervising officer to decapitation.
Yuwen Yue.
The supervising officer to decapitation.
Read the imperial decree.
knee down.
Read the imperial decree.
Duke Dingbei Yan Shicheng
has insulted the whole world,
ran counter to the emperor,
imposed upon the public,
trusted the crafty sycophant,
and rebelled against the state.
He has abolished the law,
built the royal pantheon,
trained the private armies secretly.
It is evident to anyone
that he had the conspiracy against the emperor.
And he has dispatched the troops to Chang'an,
wanted to attack the capital city.
His misdemeanors are too numerous
to inscribe on all bamboo strips.
Thanks to the blessing of the heaven,
their rebellion was defeated,
and the villains were exterminated.
As far as Yanxun concerned,
he grew up in the capital city
and didn't get involved into the rebellion.
There is an order for him to identify the prisoners
and watch their punishment
to make up for his sin.
By the emperor himself.
Is what he said true?
Yes.
My family.
Bring the traitors up.
Prince Yanxun.
Everyone has been executed
except you and your mother.
There is no one left.
Prince Yanxun. Please honor the decree.
Honor the decree on your knees.
Yanxun.
- Yanxun. - On your knees.
On your knees.
Yanxun.
Honor the decree and identify the corpses.
On your knees.
Then your life will be spared.
(Sound of laughing)
Look, look.
He is revolting.
Why didn't you just kill him?
No.
Refusing to obey imperial edict
should be put to death.
Take him down.
Yes.
Wait.
Yanxun.
Please pick up the imperial decree
and appreciate the grace of the emperor.
Yanxun, just be awarded the majesty's decree.
Hers is the hour of noon.
We should do the roll call.
Yanxun.
Get up.
If you don't want to do,
I will.
Prince Yanxun.
It's been long time for you
to meet your father, isn't it?
Come here.
Say hello to him.
Yuwen Huai.
(Sound of laughing)
Come here.
Yuwen Huai.
Don't move.
If he doesn't honor the decree, just kill him.
Yanxun.
Did you see this?
This is what will happen if you refuse to obey imperial edict.
This is too cruel.
Why?
Why do they have to do this to
Brother Yan Xun?
(Crying)
Father.
Step down.
Yan Xun.
Get up.
Move.
Yan Xun.
Disobeying the imperial decreed is punishable by death.
Go to check whether he is dead.
He looks like dead.
Yuwen Yue.
Go to check whether
your good friend is dead or not.
(Sound of breathing)
It is Jiuyou Platform, a scared place.
He doesn’t kneel down and refused to obey the imperial decreed.
He is a rebel.
Bowmen.
Yan Xun.
Don’t come up again.
Chun’er.
Brother Yan Xun, please.
Please don’t stand up again.
(Sound of shooting arrows)
- Brother Yan Xun. - Chun’er.
(Crying)
(Breathing heavily)
Yan Xun.
Don’t come up again.
(Sound of struggling)
(Sound of shooting arrow)
(Sound of struggling)
Mother.
Please save Brother Yan Xun. I am begging you.
Otherwise, he is going to die.
He definitely will die.
Please save Brother Yan Xun. Mother.
Mother.
(Crying)
Brother.
Please save Brother Yan Xun.
Please save him.
(Sound of shooting arrow)
Yan Xun.
(Struggling and crying)
Yan Xun.
Let go of me.
Chun’er.
(Sound of struggling)
How dare you.
Obey the imperial decreed now.
There is no need for him to check the corpses.
Apply the sentence now.
How dare you.
I am following the imperial decreed to sentence the rebels.
Following the imperial decreed or disobeying it?
I hope I can
buy him more time this way.
It’s in the imperial decreed. Black and white.
Only after Yan Xun checks the corpses,
can we apply the sentence.
If he refuses to obey the imperial decreed, we can’t apply the sentence.
Apply the sentence immediately.
I will take responsibility
for any consequences of it.
You are disobeying the imperial decreed.
I can kill you right now.
If Yan Xun still refuses to obey the imperial decreed,
I will kill him right here.
Let me remind you again.
Xing’er is here right now.
(Laughing)
Looks like I need to do it myself.
(Sound of struggling)
I can do it.
Wait.
Master Yuwen,
please let me check the corpses.
Those up there are
my husband,
my son and my daughter.
My families.
I believe
there is no one
more eligible than me
to check their corpses.
Lady.
Who allowed you to come here.
His Majesty, the Emperor.
His Majesty has sent out the imperial decreed
to allow me to check the corpses.
My son, Yan Xun, is too young and ignorant.
I am sorry he offended you, Master Huai.
The imperial decreed will be delivered here in no time.
You won’t disobey
the imperial decreed, will you?
(Smirking)
Xun'er
Mother
Xun'er
Mother
It's them
They ruined Yan
Why?
Xun'er
Do you believe your father
Yes, I believe him
Then don't ask why
Not everything
in this world
has its reason
Like tigers eat wolves
wolves eat rabbits
rabbits eat grass
There is no reason for it
Our family
my father, eldest brother
sister
(Sound of crying)
This is my husband
Lord Dingbei in Yan
General marshal of Western Religion of Wei
Yan Shicheng
The scar here was wounded
in the rebellion of Prince Qi
He was hurt
at the gate of the palace
When the rebel forces burned the palace
people inside cannot step outside
Shicheng took his people,
risked his life to save the majesty
He found the majesty first
who was the prince at that time
He took the coma majesty on his back
alone, rushing out
the palace surrounded by 3000 rebels
Over 30 wounds
on his hands and body
After that，he couldn't walk
until half a year later
He was only
seventeen that year
You are here to identify the dead
not to say these bullshit
Please continue, lady
Here
he got the wound during the fight
at Baima Strategic station
They were mourning the ancestor that day
The whole royal family
attended
But our enemies from Rouran started a fight
They broke through the strategic pass
and surrounded the ancestor temple
After Shicheng learned the news
He took his men leave Yan
rushing towards the temple
7 days and nights
riding the horse without rest
and rescued them from danger
Your majesty
awored right there at the temple
The relation between Wei and Yan
will last forever
Most of you here
were there too
His head
were cut by Mr. Yuwen Huai
outside Chang'an
You are at your strongest age with the clearest eyes
You can recognize your sword
How would you not know if this man was killed by you,
if this man is the lord of Dingbei,
Yan Shicheng?
I confirm,
this man is my husband,
the lord of Dingbei.
Yan Shicheng
Where is the imperial decreed, lady?
I can order to kill
Yan Xun now
Yan Xun
