[Tianbo Manor]
Son Four.
Son Four!
Chief Commander, in order to find Son Four, you haven't slept in seven days.
Chief Commander, you cannot go on like this.
I am the child's father. I have this responsibility.
My child is waiting for me to find him.
Chief Commander, Son Four may have been rescued and sent back to Tianbo manor.
Chief Commander, I am begging you. Please return with me.
Our great army can't be without you, Chief Commander.
- I am fine! - Chief Commander! - I am fine!
As long as I don't have news from Son Four,
I will absolutely not give up.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Dancing Fingers Team @ Viki.com
Are you thinking about him again?
I never expected, having rushed into battle all my life,
that I would be impotent to protect even my own child.
Every time I think how we left Son Four alone on the battlefield
and didn't bring him back,
my heart hurts.
I am truly not a good father.
Didn't we talk about this?
As long as we do not see his corpse,
we still have a glimmer of hope
to reunite with our long lost child. Right?
It's very late. Return to the room and rest.
Delicious.
There is no way to return to the past,
and we cannot change anything at all.
No matter how much you think about it, it is of no use.
You and I both understand principles.
However, when touching the pain spot,
it's hard not to wonder.
At that time, because of the Yang Son Four's matter,
I ignored you for two whole years.
I was then really angry at you.
How could you be so impartial and not take care of your own flesh and blood?
Everyone blamed you but you said nothing and silently endured all the pain.
What of it?
I still did not have a way to find Son Four and bring the child back safely.
After calming down,
I realized I couldn't blame this matter completely on you.
The circumstances at the time were urgent.
As a general,
you had the lives of many people in your hands.
How could you, for your own child,
sacrifice the safety of the troops?
Honestly, having to make that decision is painful enough already.
After so many years, you have endured enough.
Don't blame yourself anymore.
Don't you always say that one needs to look forward in life?
I'm fine.
I'm truly fine.
You've done everything you could.
You've searched all the possible places.
Maybe this is Heaven's will.
It has been so difficult for us to emerge from our suffering.
This is only transitional.
From this, we have learned to value each other more and our children.
Saihua, luckily I have you.
Luckily I have had you by my side for many years.
I believe Heaven will be merciful to us.
That is why we have been given a daughter.
Ever since Sis Eight was born, hasn't she rejuvenated the Yang family?
Indeed, indeed.
That's right.
The road ahead is still very long.
We must look forward.
There is hope in everything.
[The Young Warriors]
Wow.
Prime Minister, this move is quite risky.
Your Majesty's chess skills are exquisite.
If I don't take a risk, it will be difficult to win.
Your move has baffled me.
I am aware of my fault.
I should have shown leniency
and shouldn't have forced you into an impasse.
If one doesn't use all of one's effort,
then that signifies a lack of respect for the opponent.
As useless as I am, I still have this degree of moral character.
You are brilliant, Your Majesty.
If you cannot think of a solution at this time,
how about we save this match for another time?
No... I definitely have to solve this game today.
What a shame. I wanted to accompany you on an incognito tour.
I heard a storyteller has come to the capital.
He is saying that Your Majesty's imperial dragon robe has been flogged.
What? Flog the dragon robe?
This is what that storyteller tells.
Tang Emperor Taizong's secret anecdote. [Tang Taizong: founder of the Tang Dynasty (618-907)]
Tang Emperor Taizong?
The storyteller is very captivating to listen to.
He has attracted whole streets of people.
A pity that Your Majesty has no interest in going out.
I think this chess match cannot be solved at this time.
I suppose there is no harm in accompanying you to see this storyteller.
Very well. Then I will accompany Your Majesty in this amusing outing.
He who steals a hook gets hanged as a crook,
- yet he who steals a kingdom gets granted a nobility rank or minister position. - What? Granted a nobility rank or minister position?
Similarly, with respect to committing a crime and murdering someone.
When commoners murder someone,
- the punishment is beheading. - That's right.
However, if someone of high status commits an even more heinous crime,
- no one will investigate it. - That's right.
Just like Tang Emperor Taizong.
I also know
- how he obtained his position as emperor. - How did he obtain?
He cunningly plotted a conspiracy
and heartlessly murdered his own older brother.
That is how he was able to sit on the throne.
Since ancient times, the imperial throne has reeked with blood.
You think Tang Taizong was a virtuous ruler
but at the core, he was a tyrant.
A tyrant? What's going on?
Thankfully at the time there was a virtuous court official named Li Jing.
When he learned that Tang Taizong had committed this brutal crime,
he forced him to kneel at the ancestral temple in front of his ancestors.
He then pulled off the emperor's dragon robe
- and with his own hand flogged it. - Oh!
This storyteller really has a way of speaking.
He is able to create something from nothing.
He makes it sound lively and realistic,
as if he'd witnessed it with his own eyes.
How do you know he is creating something from nothing?
I thought about it carefully, that's how I know.
How could an ordinary person know what happens in the ancestral temple?
Being flogged by a court official? What would become of his prestige?
Tang Taizong himself flatly wouldn't speak of it.
On this earth, basically, no one else could know about it.
Maybe Li Jing told someone.
Oh! That makes sense. If it wasn't him, then who else could it be?
If he really did take the emperor's robe and
flogged it with his own hand?
To me, it seems very impressive.
Even if he hadn't intended to purposefully harm his master,
he'd be unable to bear the itch and would inevitably
go around bragging about it everywhere.
Thankfully, most of this is made up by the storyteller.
Otherwise,
what would become of the emperor's prestige?
Daughter...
Mother, what is the matter?
Someone is looking for you.
Lady Luo, General Pan ordered us to bring him to you.
Please take a look at him.
I haven't taken the five stone powder in three days.
I... really am determined.
Please save me!
Daughter, this is not acceptable.
He is the Prime Minister's son.
Father, he is very ill.
Am I to turn him away?
This...
Help me... Save me.
Miss Luo... Thank you.
I... I feel much better.
Lady Luo, your medical skill is indeed exceptional.
After you finish drinking this medicine, please go back.
Yes. Since General Pan has drank the medicine, have him return to his manor and rest.
This treatment can only relieve the Commander's symptoms and alleviate the pain.
Completely stopping the five stone powder addiction cannot be accomplished in a few days.
Lady Luo, don't worry. I... will heed your instructions.
I want to stay here and adhere to your instructions.
Take medicine and receive treatment.
I will absolutely not disobey you.
You want to stay here?
Our home is simple and crude, I am afraid...
Uncle Luo, Aunt Luo, I am throwing caution to the wind.
I will treat myself as one of Miss Luo's little animals.
I will not inconvenience you too much.
Lady Luo, if you fear I won't abide by the rules,
you can shackle my arms and legs.
I will not resist for sure.
- Lady Luo. -This—
I must tell you beforehand.
During the treatment period, your drug addiction
will flare up and be extremely painful, just like what happened today.
Also, this pain will be an endless cycle until you can restrain it.
I know...
If during the treatment period, you waver in your decision,
and secretly consume the five stone powder,
I will ask you to leave immediately.
If I fail to live up to your expectations, then I will be too ashamed to stay.
At that point, you won't need to force me to leave.
I will leave on my own and I will never offend you again.
Young Master, be careful.
[The Young Warriors]
Today's training will test your ability to adapt to different environments.
The mountaintop before us has a sulfur valley.
In a little while, everyone will split into teams of two men and cross the sulfur valley.
The first team to come out of the sulfur valley will be the winners.
Now, select your own teams.
You can each choose your own collaborators.
Let's start.
- The two of us are together. - Come, come. I'll be with you.
- Okay. Okay. - Here. Here.
Be on a team with me, so you can avoid being snubbed.
I don't believe he can have a heart of stone for much longer.
- Look at me. You find someone else. - Eh!
What is this? Nobody willing to be on a team with you?
Are you on your own?
What a coincidence. I'm on my own too.
If you better beg me, I'll be team up with you, even though I am reluctant.
What about it?
General, I can complete the mission on my own.
I request to be on a team by myself.
Two men to a team is this training's stipulation.
When you do not know the dangers in the environment,
two men in a team trains you to look out for one another in battle.
A soldier's duty is to obey orders.
If you dare to disobey, then you are defying a military order.
General! General...
How about I sacrifice myself and join a same team with him?
Very well. Then the two of you are on a team.
Then you must be exceedingly vigilant.
Don't be a burden to me.
What's there to be afraid of in this sulfur valley?
It's just a lot of smoke, right?
Stop speaking.
Last time,
we had to save our teammates, so we were slower.
This time, I will surely keep pace with you.
Who knows? You may even need my help.
What? Can't you handle it?
Do you need my help?
What? Are you not able to handle again?
Don't come over.
It's a swamp.
I told you. This time I will definitely save you.
It's fine, we are partners. Partners should help each other.
Don't let go.
Chou Mu Yi!
- They're back. - We are back.
- Did you see my Younger Bro Seven? - No. - No.
Chou Mu Yi! How come it's only you?
Where is Son Seven? I'm asking you!
Chou Mu Yi!
You ungrateful bastard! Immoral! No conscience!
You only care about your own life!
Totally devoid of conscience! Worse than beasts!
How come you have become like that?
Older Bro Six, you ask him.
He fell into the swamp earlier.
I got him out with a lot of effort.
And what happened next?
He treated me as a human shield to block the arrows.
This immoral guy! No loyalties!
You wanted to save me. That was your decision.
I didn't tell you to do it.
Chou Mu Yi!
Even if you didn't ask for his help,
you still shouldn't have left him behind.
This training is about everyone taking care of each other.
That's right!
If this time hadn't been just practice but a real battle,
I think that you wouldn't say that I was wrong.
In battle comrades should practice even more soldier spirit and help each other.
Then if one's comrade has already died, must we still guard his corpse?
Yang's Son Seven got hit by arrows.
That means he fell in the enemy's ambush.
When one is completely exposed to attack, using corpses to block arrows is inevitable.
Then am I wrong to do that?
Even if what you said is reasonable, today was just practice.
You shouldn't have left your teammate behind regardless.
Since we already are prepared to fight in the battlefield,
must you still expect other people to take care of you?
Don't join the army then.
Go back home to be your grand young masters.
You two were pampered and spoiled since little.
Yan't even protect yourself.
How then can you still go to battle and kill enemies?
How can you bear the great responsibility of protecting the Song dynasty?
Enough. Today's training ends here.
Everyone now go back and rest a while.
Next, there will be even more difficult challenges
waiting for all of you.
[Tianbo Manor]
You two were pampered and spoiled since little. You can't even protect yourself.
How then can you still go to battle and kill enemies?
How can you bear the great responsibility of protecting the Song dynasty?
So young and already starting to sigh?
Mother.
Does Mother feel that I'm a good-for-nothing, like some pampered soldier?
No. Why do you say that?
That guy said it.
After being a shield against arrows, were some arrows left in your heart?
It must be Older Bro Six who told you about it.
I admit I actually was very angry at him because he was too selfish and heartless.
But afterwards, I felt the words he said were very reasonable.
Words he said were very reasonable?
Like for example, he said that I have been pampered and spoiled since little,
and protected by my older brothers.
When I encounter some issue,
I just expect other people to solve it for me.
How can I then be qualified to be a soldier,
and don't even talk about protecting the Song dynasty.
Like last time, when he came to our house to be a guest,
he even said something about no sons to send you off when you die.
Although it did sound so unpleasant to the ears,
after I reflected on it time and again,
if I don't protect and train myself well now,
the one who will get hurt and suffer in the future while on the battlefield will be myself.
It will make Father and Mother sad then.
Although everything he told you was his selfish distorted reasoning,
it's quite good for you to be able to get the right logical principles out of it.
Mother, do you feel that I am not suitable to be part of the Yang's army like he said?
What do you think?
Of course not.
The Yang children have indomitable spirit.
Although compared to him, I am still a little bit lacking,
I believe that I will advance continuously and study diligently.
Knowing that one has faults and thinking of ways to make up for them is very good.
After hearing you say these things, I'm very happy and satisfied.
Mother, starting today, I surely will become an outstanding Yang's Army member.
I will protect myself well. More importantly, I will protect Mother.
Let me see. You've grown up.
Compared to before, you've grown a lot.
Not really.
Actually, thinking about it now, no matter how strong that guy is, how sharp his tongue is,
in the end, he was still unable to overcome his asthma.
Does he have asthma?
That's right. It was because his asthma flared up that I got to have a chance to save him.
He is also quite pitiful to get sick like that alone, with nobody taking care of him.
Mother, don't you have a secret drug recipe for asthma?
Are you still so concerned about him?
Didn't Mother say that a friend who dares tell you the truth is a true friend?
I'm thinking that this guy Chou Mu Yi
is my real friend already.
You think? I wonder what he thinks.
I know! That's why I'm going to ask Mother to take up this matter.
Mother, come.
You must be thirsty from all this talk. Come, drink some tea.
[The Young Warriors]
Brother Chou!
Why are you drinking water? Don't drink anymore. Come, eat some fruit.
Brother Chou, are we welcomed here?
My place is too simple.
It's not convenient to receive Madam and Young Master Yang.
Please, the two of you, leave.
We already know each other well. Water to drink is fine.
Oh, right. Have you seen a doctor yet?
Since I was little until now, I haven't needed to go to a doctor when I got sick.
You are sick just because you didn't go to see a doctor.
Asthma is a very troublesome illness.
It's better to cure it early on.
Right. Right. My mother has a secret prescription for asthma.
If you take this medicine for seven days, I guarantee that you will be completely cured.
How about you come with us to Tianbo Manor,
we will prepare the medicine for you and take good care of you. Yes?
Take care of me?
Aren't you two being too enthusiastic?
It has always been me taking care of myself ever since I was little.
I don't need anyone's concern.
Even less do I need anyone to take care of me!
Do you have a grudge against our Yang family?
We treat you so well, why are so insolent with us, ah? You are really sick.
Son Seven, when a person feels unwell, his mood will naturally be bad too.
Madam Yang,
I am already tired.
I want to rest.
Please leave.
If you don't come with us obediently, we surely won't leave.
Don't blame me if I become rude to you
in front of your mother.
We are all on the same side. Let's not damage this good relationship.
Son Seven was worried that because of your illness, your training might be affected.
How about this? If I am unable to defeat you within 10 moves,
then it means that your health is fine already.
If it's the opposite, come with us to Tianbo Manor for 7 days
and get your illness completely treated.
10 moves?
You want to defeat me within 10 moves?
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
I know.
I just want to know your health situation, that's all.
Then it means you agreed, right?
Okay.

Mother, fight on!
Madam Yang. This is already the 9th move.
You say that you are sick, but it looks like your body's physique is still excellent.
Not bad.
You lost.
Brother Chou, how about it?
Are you coming back with us to Tianbo Manor now?
Just seven days.
Mother, I'll help him pack his things to prevent him going back on his word.
[Tianbo Manor]
Mother, come.
You worked hard. Have a good rest for a while.
Why are you frowning?
You lost to my mother earlier.
Doing otherwise is dishonorable.
Let me tell you, in Tianbo Manor there will be many people serving you, it'll be very comfortable.
After seven days, I guarantee that you won't want to leave anymore.
Cool!
- Mother! - Yes.
Mother, where did you and Son Seven go?
The dishes for dinner haven't been set yet.
This one is—
This is Chou Mu Yi, Brother Chou.
A new soldier recruited by our Yang's Army.
So you are Brother Chou Mu Yi.
You indeed have an imposing manner.
Son Seven always tells us about you.
Brother Chou.
Brother Chou will be living here with us for a few days.
You all must look after him well, understand?
Yes, Mother.
Oh, right. Make the dishes tonight less greasy.
He is a bit sick.
Mother, don't worry. I'll go take care of it now.
Yes.
I'll order the servants to prepare his room then.
Mr. Chou, the living room is this way. Please go in.
Mother, this time it's thanks to you that we were able to bring Chou Mu Yi home.
I only won by a narrow margin earlier.
Mother, your martial arts skills are so high, you can definitely defeat him.
You must absolutely not say it's that simple.
If it hadn't been for the last move triggering his asthma,
I'm afraid that I might have been defeated by him.
Are his martial arts skills really that good?
I even thought that you were giving him some dignity
so you let him win the first nine moves.
He indeed is talented.
But don't you think that he treats us so coldly,
as if we owed him something?
He just has a weird personality.
But no matter what,
if you treat him sincerely,
he will accept you as his friend sooner or later.
Come.
You came at an appropriate time.
I am still worrying about the mine that collapsed in Taiping County.
Tell me. How should I provide relief to those affected miners?
I think that you should first investigate the county official who is in charge.
Isn't he Prime Minister Pan's brother-in-law County Head Magistrate Lu?
And from what I heard, this person has always been diligent in governing and loves the people.
Why then does royal nephew say such words?
Your Majesty, you might have been left in the dark by other people.
Your Majesty, County Head Magistrate Lu, on the surface, is a diligent and people-loving official.
But he actually is a very, very corrupt official.
He relies on being the current Prime Minister's brother-in-law
so he plunders the people's valuables and property, greedily extorts their money.
The mine collapse this time was due to him.
Really?
Then I must clearly investigate this matter.
Your Majesty,
I already investigated it thoroughly and I have enough evidence.
That's why I ask Your Majesty to first punish this corrupt official
and thoroughly investigate all those who have been protecting him.
I think that this matter doesn't have a direct relationship with Prime Minister Pan.
This man has always been loyal and devoted to me,
thinking what I am thinking, worrying about what I'm worrying.
Your Majesty, disloyal once, a hundred times no use.
Prime Minister Pan relies on the fact that he has your trust,
so he considers everyone else as beneath him, and does as he pleases.
Then what royal nephew means is that even I am to be blamed for this, right?
I dare not.
I feel that Your Majesty has a magnanimous heart, fair and just,
hence, I dare to be straightforward.
Please, Your Majesty investigate this matter clearly.
Don't worry.
As the Emperor of Song, I will definitely deal with this matter in a fair and just way.
Your Majesty is wise.
Very well. Leave.
I take my leave.
[The Young Warriors]
Brother-in-law, Eighth Virtuous Prince is currently investigating evidence
of me taking bribes and bending the law.
What should I do now?
Older bro, once they have conclusive evidence,
not only will my husband get stripped of his position,
I fear that the two of us might be sentenced to death.
Older bro, we have always listened to you.
If this matter gets investigated,
I fear that older bro might also get implicated.
Older bro, think of a way.
Right. Right. Brother-in-law is a favored minister of His Majesty.
One word from you is way more effective than 1000 of ours.
That's right.
How about we go beg His Majesty together?
Are you crazy?
To beg His Majesty? Isn't that an admission?
But then... then what are we going to do?
Presently, I don't think Eighth Virtuous Prince has advanced this far yet.
This matter has not gotten totally exposed yet, there's still room to turn this around.
You two flee first. The further, the better.
Leave? Then wouldn't we lose everything?
As long as you stay alive, do you fear being unable to make a comeback?
Once the problem has passed, I will send people to fetch you two back.
Otherwise, we will all die in the same pit.
Brother-in-law, if we leave, it's the same as admitting the crime.
Brother-in-law, you are not planning to abandon the soldiers to protect the general, right?
Having come to this, you two should trust me
How can my older brother harm us?
- Fine then. - Older bro, don't forget to fetch us when the time comes.
You are my family.
I will not let anything happen to you.
Quickly go back to prepare your luggage.
Don't let anyone see you.
Let's go.
Go.
Stop right there!
Good thing Eighth Virtuous Prince predicted that you would do such a move.
County Head Magistrate Lu and Madam Lu, you won't be able to escape this time.
Just surrender without resistance.
- Arrest them! - Yes!
I was lax in disciplining my family,
which led to my brother-in-law taking bribes and bending the law.
With the pretext of mining to obtain revenue,
he inflicted suffering on many people. His crimes are reprehensible.
As Prime Minister, I didn't supervise by brother-in-law
causing him to be undaunted and reckless.
This was indeed a dereliction of duty.
After the matter became known, I should have tied him up and brought him here,
foregoing familial relationship for justice.
But humans are not plants, we can't be heartless.
I couldn't bear to see my brother-in-law's entire family imprisoned
so I told them to escape.
Because blood is thicker than water,
I had no heart to lose my family, so I didn't report them.
But in reality, that still is bending the law for one's family.
I request Your Majesty to punish me so as to rectify the discipline of the imperial court
and to warn others not to follow my lead.
Prime Minister Pan.
You used your Prime Minister position to indulge your brother-in-law
to levy exorbitant taxes just to stuff his pockets.
Basically, you are the accomplice in your brother-in-law's crimes.
Now that your brother-in-law got arrested,
you then are rushing to pass on the blame.
What really are your intentions?
Your Majesty, please investigate this matter clearly.
We must not indulge evil people.
I am innocent, Your Majesty!
It's true I was negligent in disciplining them,
but I definitely didn't indulge or did any cover-up.
As for what my brother-in-law did, I really know nothing about it, Your Majesty.
Pan Renmei, you clearly are just making excuses.
As the Prime Minister, how can you not know about this?
Moreover, how many people were killed because of the mine collapse in Taiping County?
As a Prime Minister, can you really get away from your responsibility on this matter?
Eighth Virtuous Prince,
as Prime Minister said just now, humans are not plants and are not heartless.
About Prime Minister letting Lu Shouyi escape, that is indeed against the law,
but it is also something that he couldn't help doing, under the circumstances.
Your Majesty, Prime Minister is the head of all government officials.
His every word and action should serve as a model to everyone.
If he isn't punished strictly, it will be hard to convince the public.
This I know.
I beg Your Majesty to punish me for my crimes.
Since Prime Minister is courageously willing to bear the consequences
and is sincere in repenting for his sins,
I will consider that Prime Minister, since the start of this Dynasty
has assisted the past Emperor, experienced two dynasties,
and achieved a lot of merits, and I will lessen the punishment.
I am punishing you to donate 2,000 of your salary
to the miners and villagers for funeral arrangements and repairs.
As for Lu Shouyi, send him to the Law Office to be severely punished.
Your Majesty, just that?
Eighth Virtuous Prince,
I've always been fair in rewarding and punishing.
The one who was corrupt and broke laws was Lu Shouyi.
He indeed must be punished for it.
Others not directly involved, naturally must be dealt with leniently.
Thank you for Your Majesty's mercy!
- Pan Renmei! Pan Renmei! - His Majesty really gives you much care.
I wonder what Eighth Virtuous Prince wants.
Men, give me the Golden Whip.
Yes.
Pan Renmei, you have a lot of nerve.
Now that you've seen the Golden Whip, why are you still not kneeling?
This is the Golden Whip bestowed by the emperor.
It can lash a muddled monarch or a fawning minister.
At the court earlier, His Majesty was considerate and unwilling to punish you strictly.
But it doesn't mean that you didn't make any mistakes.
This time, you were lucky to escape because His Majesty's grace is vast,
but if you don't curb your wrongdoings,
your ending will be like this!
The Golden Whip in my hands
doesn't distinguish family or strangers, and will definitely not play favorites.
You better remember that!
From now on, you better conduct yourself well!
I'm really so happy.
That band of evil and crafty ministers earlier,
every one of them became deadly pale and shivered from fear.
They must have never thought that I would really use the Golden Whip.
I just want them to know
that towards crafty, fawning villains, I absolutely won't let them off!
Even if he is the Prime Minister, I won't give him any consideration.
Let them from now on be vigilant.
Virtuous Prince bears such a huge grudge against evil,
and always wants a fair judgment between right and wrong.
But scolding Prime Minister Pan like that in front of all the other ministers,
I fear will make him feel humiliated and embarrassed.
I indeed wanted him to be embarrassed.
If he still has any shame, he'll certainly repent and change his ways.
- But— - General Yang, don't worry.
I did that in front of all ministers
because I wanted to make this a lesson, let them know that even the Prime Minister
cannot use his power to cover up his evil deeds.
Moreover, this Pan Renmei harbors evil intentions.
If the government is managed by him, the country will surely fall into chaos.
I really don't understand
why does His Majesty trust him all along?
Pan Renmei has his good traits.
Although, as you said, he harbors evil intentions,
he is indeed very intelligent and has outstanding knowledge.
If led to do good, it would be the country's good fortune.
If pressed too much, I'm afraid he might do something very treacherous.
I understand what General is thinking.
But we also shouldn't fear him.
I am naturally born of royal blood and I have the Golden Whip in my hands.
If I cannot uphold righteousness and justice,
it will just help foster the villains' strength,
and waste the abundant blessings Heaven bestowed on me.
Your Highness' ambitions are higher than Heaven. I was just overly worried.
General Yang's kind concern for me will surely remain in my heart.
In the future, I will still need General to guide me a lot.
Your Highness, you are being too courteous.
Master, we really were unable to stop him.
Your brother-in-law was beheaded today.
Why didn't you say anything?
Why did you order your servants not to let us in?
Your brother-in-law got beheaded and we are not even allowed to claim his corpse.
Do you know that?!
What's the use of you being the Prime Minister?
In the face of danger, you only sought to protect your official post.
You couldn't save the man and won't even dare to hold a funeral.
What kind of Prime Minister are you?!
Do you think you can hide from it?
Heaven's vengeance is slow.
Someone became your scapegoat this time.
Your sins have become heavier.
The day will come when His Majesty won't trust you and you will suffer defeat.
Your downfall will be more terrible!

♫ I remember we kept each other company in the winter that year ♫
♫ Our dream was the only fire that we lit together ♫
♫ We had long hair over our shoulders ♫
♫ in the deserted wilderness, without signs of human habitation ♫
♫ Having buddies and liquors kept me warm ♫
♫ When mentioning tomorrow, ♫
♫ we always felt promises were limitless ♫
♫ We always said that we’d still be good guys after 20 years ♫
♫ I still recall that group of ignorant youngsters 20 years ago ♫
♫ opened their eyes n' gave their shoulders in to fulfill dreams ♫
♫ I still recall that persistent oath 20 years ago ♫
♫ I’ve forgotten the eternity, ♫
♫ but not that year of us having shared weal and woe ♫
