[Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin] 3
[Episode 37] 4
There's no need to avoid mentioning anything now. 5
Minister can just report it as it is when you return to the Palace. 6
Royal Father... 7
I am here. 8
Pingjing... 9
I want to go out 10
and take a breather. 11
Okay. 12
The cycle of life and death 13
is something that no one can escape. 14
It is just that I initially thought 15
that you two brothers will at least... 16
at least have each other even when I am gone. 17
Change is constant. In the end, 18
I had no choice but to leave you alone. 19
Royal Father... 20
I was born in Yeyou Prison. I experienced hardships that ordinary person has not gone through. 21
I have seen the coldest aspects of this world. 22
But in my life, there are 3 things 23
that I found fortunate to have experienced. First, 24
I received teachings from my Master and that eliminated the grudges and hatred in my heart. 25
Second, I got adopted by the former emperor and experienced 26
two generations of wise emperors. 27
I have never been doubted by anyone. 28
Third, 29
I have a harmonious home. 30
I was able to have good children like 31
you and Pingzhang. 32
You initially loved to be carefree. But too bad... 33
Too bad, you were born in a general's family. 34
When I leave, these two words 'Chang Lin' 35
must not bind you anymore. 36
Royal Father... 37
Pingjing. 38
Pingjing. 39
Royal Father! 40
Raise your head and look at me. 41
Pingjing, raise your head. 42
You have already did what you should do. 43
From now on, you do not need to obsess yourself in protecting your elders, sister-in-law, and your nephew. 44
Remember that. 45
I understand. 46
Good child. 47
For my funeral, you surely still remember, right? 48
I remember. 49
Say it. 50
Your attire...will be buried in the Imperial Tomb. 51
Your bones...will be returned to Meiling. 52
Good. 53
Listen. 54
Listen to the wind. 55
Listen to this wind. 56
The northern borders must have experienced several snow falls already. 57
Meiling... 58
Meiling... 59
What is your name? 60
- Tingsheng. - How old are you? 61
11 years old. 62
Xiao Pingsheng has gone home! 63
Your Majesty, although you are grieving, 64
these are still two different things. 65
We must have a conclusion about the punishment of General of Huaihua. 66
Didn't Elder Prince also hope that Your Majesty 67
can grasp this matter steadily? 68
I have decided to remove Xiao Pingjing's 69
General of Huaihua position. 70
Retrieve his military power and order him to leave the capital to observe the mourning of his father. 71
Just like that? 72
Your Majesty, if you are able to separate governing and personal relationships, 73
I think Elder Prince will also feel comforted while in Heaven. 74
Your Majesty surely understands 75
that the reason why the different officials of the government 76
are requesting for strict punishment is very simple. 77
That is regardless of anyone, anytime, or any matter, military power 78
cannot be above the emperor's power. 79
Even though the different heads of the Chang Lin camps have committed a crime 80
for blindly following their main commander, 81
they have already repaid it with merits by winning in the battle of Ningguan. 82
Order the Ministry of War to remove the authority of Chang Lin 83
and reestablish a new northern border banner. 84
Your Majesty is magnanimous. I will receive your decree. 85
Imperial Son... 86
Imperial Mother, just return to your chambers to rest. 87
I want to stay alone for a while. 88
With things being like this, are we considered to have won? 89
Elder Prince has died. 90
Xiao Pingjing has been removed from duty to observe mourning. 91
We used this opportunity to remove the military power in his hands 92
is just logical. 93
No matter how many government officials are siding with him, 94
they would not be able to say anything anymore. 95
But Xiao Pingjing committed is a grave crime of disobeying the imperial decree and the Emperor! 96
Are we just going to let him go like that? 97
If that is the case, what about the honor of the imperial family? 98
As long as we were able to remove the authority of the Chang Lin Army, 99
disperse the old soldiers under him, 100
we have already achieved our aim. 101
Why can we not leave him some space? Exterminating them 102
might bring an opposite effect, Your Lady Majesty. 103
But this way, the world will think that His Majesty is too weak. 104
He is unable to control the House of Chang Lin. 105
I heard that it is easy for military personnel to only acknowledge their commander and not their emperor. 106
If because of this matter they would become more arrogant, how then will you able to re-establish another northern border banner? 107
Your Lady Majesty, a human heart can be controlled. 108
Whether it is the ordinary folks or the military, 109
what they know 110
is what we tell them, right? 111
In this matter, regardless what the real story is, 112
it can only be explained in one manner. 113
That is Elder Prince suddenly died. 114
His Majesty specially pardoned the crimes of General of Huaihua. 115
This way, people will feel that the imperial family is kind and forgiving. 116
The vile people will not say more too. 117
If older brother thinks that it is suitable, 118
then just do it that way. 119
[Funeral of Elder Prince of Chang Lin Xiao Tingsheng of Great Liang] 120
Second Young Master, there are a lot of royal relatives and government officials outside who came to give their condolences. 121
Subtitles and Timing provided by Gone With The Shirt Team at Viki.com 122
Uncle, you are here. 123
Senior Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Minister Xun is here to give his condolences. 124
General of Huaihua, although the venue seems inappropriate, 125
I still think that the wise soul of the Elder Prince in Heaven 126
would still want to know what the final result is. 127
Just say it. 128
His Majesty made such a decision completely out of clemency. 129
He considered that you are currently observing your father's mourning 130
so there were some crimes that he does not want to add anymore. 131
As for removing the authority of the Chang Lin Army, 132
it is entirely for the convenience of the government to handle military matters in the future. 133
Since some things have already happened, 134
we must give the world an explanation. 135
I think that this is the best outcome. 136
Each side taking a step back. 137
One, no turmoil are started. Second, no blood must be shed. 138
This is most beneficial for His Majesty. 139
Does General think so too? 140
From now on, 141
this world... 142
will never hear of the name Chang Lin. 143
Elder Prince of Chang Lin already said while he was still alive 144
that nothing is forever in this world. 145
Everything changes. 146
General initially has thoughts of distancing from politics and bringing the hearse to the north. 147
Why then must you still bear such kind of obsession? 148
It is also good that things are resolved in this manner. 149
May Senior Grand Secretary just focus on assisting His Majesty from now on. 150
For you, it is better for them to fight with each other 151
so you can just reap the benefits afterwards. 152
Now that Xiao Tingsheng is dead, his son has no intentions of fighting at all. 153
If the Royal House of Chang Lin withdraws from the military and politics, 154
you will not be useful to Xun Baishun anymore. 155
Xiao Yuanshi has not yet reached adulthood. 156
Now, there is already no person from the House of Chang Lin suppressing you. 157
It is a good chance to showcase your skills and rise up to the ranks. 158
Am I right? 159
I am sure that Uncle has some suggestions 160
that's why you traveled far to come here to Jinling. 161
Qianzhou, Huzhou, Zhunzhou, Pianzhou, Muzhou, Quanzhou, Xiazhou, Yangzhou, Pingzhou, Guizhou. 162
These are the ten Great Liang prefectures that are nearest Donghai. 163
What are you planning to do? 164
I need detailed information of the border defense of the 10 prefectures. 165
For example, city defense map, the division of military strength, the situation of the commander, 166
and the reinforcement army. In short, all the details. 167
Why must I give you those? 168
What are you really planning to do? 169
Since I dare open my mouth, 170
you naturally will benefit from doing it. 171
I do not understand. 172
Although the diplomatic relationship of Great Liang and Donghai has always been good, 173
it cannot be help for one to be arrogant for being the stronger kingdom. 174
Since a good opportunity like this has come, Great Yu made its move. 175
How come Donghai cannot? 176
Although Pingjing is not talking, I know that 177
once he leaves the capital this time, he might not want to return anymore. 178
There will always be a limit in the amount of sorrow 179
that a person can endure. 180
In just a few years, his father and older brother successively passed away. 181
What is still there in this huge royal manor 182
that will make him reluctant to leave? 183
Little Sister Lin Xi, go and be by his side. 184
He keeping everything to himself like this, 185
not saying anything, will still not be good. 186
Royal Father is gone. 187
Pingzhang also left. 188
Maybe only you can still make him say his most kept words. 189
I do not care what Uncle thinks. 190
I am still a citizen of Great Liang. 191
Not conniving with the enemy to betray my country 192
is my limit. 193
Why will you not wait for me to finish my words first 194
before setting up your limit? 195
In other words, do you really not want to hear it 196
or you are afraid that you will waver and dare not hear it? 197
May Uncle just leave as soon as possible. 198
It is better to just treat it that you have never come. 199

Sorry. 201
Sorry for what? 202
I have always hid it from you. 203
I cannot dare tell you the health situation of Elder Prince. 204
No. 205
It was me who was avoiding me. 206
I did not dare ask it. 207
Lin Xi, 208
about what happened to Elder Brother, 209
I am the most unworthy person in this world that can blame you. 210
You also do not owe me anything. 211
That is why, you do not need to be this good to me. 212
This patient. 213
Really? Is that really how you think? 214
Then how come, you cannot even 215
raise your head to look at me? 216
Pingjing, everyone did that to save you. 217
Even Sister Meng has already forgiven me. 218
How come you still cannot forgive me? 219
No, that is not true. 220
Your rationality is telling you that blaming me is unfair. 221
But the angry fire in your heart still will not extinguish. Am I right? 222
Answer me. 223
Pingjing, answering me is like answering yourself. 224
Why can you not put it down? 225
Because you were too cruel. 226
What you did were all too cruel. 227
Pingjing, continue saying them. 228
Tell me everything that you want to say. 229
Older brother clearly knew 230
that he is more worthy to continue living than me, 231
no matter if is towards the House of Chang Lin or towards Royal Father and sister-in-law. 232
If he is still around right now, 233
Royal Father would not have died that soon. 234
The northern borders, the capital, 235
everything will be better than how it is now. 236
Pingjing! Pingjing, do not be like this! 237
No one can do it better than him. 238
But you must know that no matter how much you miss him, 239
he will never come back. 240
I never believed 241
that it was a decision made by older brother. 242
He was a very smart person. 243
A person that think about things thoroughly. 244
Why would he do such a stupid decision? 245
I know that he did it for my own good. 246
But Lin Xi... 247
If he could have just thought about it more seriously that time... 248
If he did not become that rash... 249
If you did not help him... 250
Pingjing, 251
that was a decision made by your older brother. 252
He did not have any regrets. 253
Until today, you also did not disappoint him, 254
Elder Prince, Sister Meng, 255
and the tens of thousands of soldiers and citizens in the northern borders. 256
Pingjing...put it down. 257
Put it down. 258
Put it down. 259
Put it down. 260
His Majesty has left the palace to give his condolences for almost a day already, right? 261
That is right. 262
With such strong damp wind, 263
your uncle did not even urge him to come back early. 264
Replying to Your Lady Majesty, Senior Grand Secretary was not able to accompany His Majesty to go there. 265
I heard that it was His Majesty who especially did not want him to come with him. 266
His Majesty did not want him to accompany him? 267
This child... 268
One day, he will understand 269
who really is whole-heartedly loyally serving him. 270
Your Majesty! 271
Your Majesty. 272
Brother Pingjing, you are blaming me, right? 273
Although I am undisciplined, I know that the government has its laws. 274
Things actually could have not end up this way. If only that time, I-- 275
Your Majesty, 276
I just understood a principle today. 277
For everything that happens in this world, 278
there are some that can be redeemed. 279
But there are some... 280
that despite how many 'what if's' you say, you can only accept. 281
I am willing to accept my punishment. May Your Majesty take back the military seal. 282
The northern borders will have a new military banner. 283
I want you to keep this. 284
If Your Majesty decides as such, I surely will do my best to keep this safe. It is just that 285
I fear that there will not be any chance to take it out again, 286
while Your Majesty do not need Chang Lin anymore. 287
Will you not return again? 288
Once the period for mourning for your father has ended, 289
maybe...after two years, I can-- 290
Your Majesty, 291
I really feel tired. 292
I also cannot be strong and unbreakable like my 293
father and older brother when they were still alive. 294
Brother Pingjing, take care. 295
Yuanshi, 296
take care too. 297
Resignation Plea 298
Feizhan! Are you crazy?! 299
Uncle, I already arranged for the defense of the palace and the endorsement matters. 300
Uncle, do not worry. No mistake will happen. 301
Feizhan, Her Lady Majesty Empress Dowager 302
is indeed a bit rash in doing things. 303
But her heart is the same as mine. 304
She knows very well 305
that this Imperial Palace can only be given in your hands 306
for us to be at ease. 307
Uncle already got what you wanted. 308
You will be able to control the government sooner or later. No need to be bothered with me staying or not. 309
Feizhan, I know that 310
we always have contrasting opinions. 311
But aren't all those still for the sake of His Majesty? 312
I know very well how loyal you are to His Majesty. 313
What is still there worthy for you to be depressed about? 314
Moreover, His Majesty trusts and relies on you. 315
If you submit this resignation letter to him, 316
what will he think? 317
I believe that His Majesty will understand me. 318
Also, there are so many talented individuals within the Jin Guards. 319
I am not irreplaceable. He will understand. 320
What is wrong with you? 321
How come I just cannot explain things to you clearly? 322
Uncle, I have made my decision. Please stop convincing me otherwise. 323
Once Elder Prince's body is transported to the north, I will bid my farewell to His Majesty. 324
Feizhan! 325
Feizhan...stop being infatuated. 326
Even if you leave the capital 327
and follow that woman, what will happen? 328
Do you still hope that they will respond to you? 329
Uncle, what are you saying? 330
