[Funing Palace]
Seeing the Dragon-headed Cane is like seeing the Emperor.
Who among you dares to block me?!
His Majesty is already asleep.
The Dragon-headed Cane can beat up a muddled king or an evil subject.
May His Majesty punish Pan Renmei gravely!
[Brush, Ink and Fragrances]
Your Majesty...
Informing Your Majesty, Yang's Son Five brought the Dragon-headed Cane with him
and is kneeling outside the palace, shouting things.
What is he shouting about?
He said...
- Say it. - He wants His Majesty to immediately punish Prime Minister Pan.
I am going to take a look.
- Your Majesty, Consort Pan suddenly fainted in her chambers. - What?
Prime Minister asks Your Majesty to go take a look at her.
Hi Majesty is here!
Respectfully greeting Your Majesty.
- Respectfully greeting Your Majesty. - Rise.
- I— - Okay already, no need to get up.
- Thank you, Your Majesty. - What's wrong with Consort Pan?
Congratulations, Your Majesty. I checked Consort Pan's pulse earlier.
- This is a joyous (pregnancy) pulse. - Joyous pulse?
Congratulations, Your Majesty, for you will soon be having a child again!
Have you checked clearly?
Informing Your Majesty, I had repeatedly checked Consort Pan's pulse earlier and it is indeed a joyous pulse.
May I ask Imperial Physician to prescribe some nourishing medicine for Consort Pan.
Yes. I'll then take my leave.
I being pregnant should be a joyous thing.
How come Your Majesty is frowning?
My silly daughter, why would His Majesty frown?
Stop overthinking already.
Just recuperate and build your strength well.
Give our Song dynasty one more prince.
His Majesty will surely love you more.
This is really great.
I am benefiting from the limelight of my daughter.
I was fortunate to be in-laws with Your Majesty.
If I really get to have a grandson,
then we really will become more connected as a family.
If there is anyone who will dare to hurt me,
that is also harming Your Majesty, harming the imperial family.
I believe Your Majesty will not let such matters happen, right?
What do you mean by that?
Your Majesty knows very well, right?
After the Golden Sand Beach battle,
more than half of the Yang's Army died or got wounded, their strength fading.
Even if Yang's Son Five and Yang's Son Six are able to pull themselves together,
it will still be hard to save the current situation.
Only my Pan's Army still has the power.
If you want to deal with the Liao, other than me,
you really can't find someone else.
Moreover, the Yang's Son Five now
actually dared to make a clamor within the Palace.
Looks like he really has gone crazy.
If you want him to lead an army, how can that be easy?
Maybe Your Majesty has a benevolent heart.
But judging the hour and sizing the situation,
how are you supposed to choose?
I believe I don't need to say anymore.
Enough already. Stop saying words that will annoy His Majesty.
Your Majesty, may you stay in my room tonight
and have a good rest.
Older Brother, let's go back.
Tell me...why isn't His Majesty coming out to see me?
Why?
Could it be that the loyalty of our Yang's family is totally not worth paying attention to?
Did our father and brothers bleed in vain?
- Older Brother, come back with me first. - Let go!
If His Majesty won't come out, then I'll wait for him to come out.
I will condemn Pan Renmei in front all the officials and officers!
Older Brother, how come you still can't understand?
It was you who told me
to publicly announce the crimes of Pan Renmei, to use the laws to punish him.
I am now kneeling and begging His Majesty to use the laws to punish him
and give our Yang family justice.
Older Brother, there's no use trying to force His Majesty like this.
That's not possible. This is not possible.
What then must I do to take revenge for Father and older brothers? Tell me.
Older Brother, we must endure.
I can't endure anymore.
I am going to beat up Pan Renmei until he dies!
- Are you crazy?! - Then consider me crazy!
If you kill him now, that's killing a government official.
That's a crime punishable by death, do you know that?!
I will bear the consequences of my own actions.
After killing him, I will immediately commit suicide.
I will definitely not drag the Yang family into this.
You doing that is being too selfish!
When you die, you can be released from this.
But have you thought of Mother, of Guan Hong,
of our feelings?!
When you die, who will rebuild the Yang's Army, who will re-energize the Tianbo Manor?
I don't care! I don't care!
You have no choice but to care!
Because you are the most favored son of Father!
Don't mention Father!
I am not worthy to be his son.
I totally am not worthy to be his son!
I should have died in the battlefield!
You are talking nonsense!
Do you know that I had the capability to save them?
But instead I abandoned them and let them die on the battlefield
while I live an ignoble life here!
I am currently suffering worse than death.
Do you know that?!
I know!
But do you know
who was the one who personally saw Eldest Brother getting insulted until he was killed?
It was me.
Who saw the corpses of Older Bro Two and Older Bro Three nailed on a horse cart and being dragged for several miles?
It was also me!
And also, who saw Older Bro Four getting poisoned,
falling off the cliff, and whose corpse can't be found anymore?
You say that you were not on the battlefield and that your heart is in so much pain.
But I was on the battlefield and saw my own brothers being trampled to death
Yet I couldn't do anything! Aren't I in more pain than you?!
Listen well...
Father charged into the Li Ling Tombstone to his death not for himself,
he did it for His Majesty, for the country.
Older Bro Five, you must be like Father.
You must think of the overall situation.
You must endure a moment of anger. Do you understand?
What should I do?
Father...
Tell me what I should do.
[The Young Warriors]
Mother.
Mother, what's wrong with you?
How come you became like this?
Mother, you have gone through life and death with Father.
What kind of obstacles have you not seen?
You surely can hold on.
Don't you always tell us that no matter what difficulties we face,
we will always find a way to resolve them.
No matter what happens, one must make oneself strong.
You must be strong, Mother!
She Saihua used to be a strong woman.
Because by her side there were several strong sons,
and a husband that's stronger than anyone else.
As long as she was with them, she naturally became strong.
Even if she faced huge difficulties
or pain,
whenever she thought of them, she was able to go through any difficulties.
- But right now.. - Mother!
I just want to be an ordinary woman,
who buys ingredients and cooks, cleans up one's own house,
waits for her husband to return,
watches her own children grow up to be adults,
sits with the whole family to chat and confide one's problems,
and enjoys the world's most wonderful family life daily.
Mother...
You still have me, Younger Sis Eight,
and Older Bro Five.
I really miss them a lot.
I so hate myself. I really hate myself so much.
I clearly knew that they would be in danger this time.
I clearly didn't want them to leave.
But I never did anything to stop them.
I even pretended that there was nothing and personally sent them off.
It's like... like I personally sent them off to their death.
I really am useless. I really am so useless.
Mother. Mother, this is not your fault.
Don't be like this.
If... if Father sees how you are now,
his heart will surely ache.
Your father promised me
that he surely would come back.
He promised me that we will travel around the world,
and he'd accompany me to the ends of the world.
Mother...
Mother!
Father...
can you tell Son Six
what he really should do?
Son Six.
Princess.
Is there anything that I can be of help with?
Don't worry about the matters of the Yang family from now on.
What are you saying?!
We don't distinguish between us. Your matters are my matters.
It's already not the same now.
We better separate.
What did you say?
Before... the heavy burden of protecting the Song dynasty...
has always been born by my father and older brothers.
Now that they are gone,
this burden has fallen on my shoulders.
I am duty bound.
You must understand that my life is already not my own.
I don't care if you bear an important duty.
I am still willing to fight side by side with you and bear them together with you.
I see my mother and sister-in-laws everyday. I ask myself,
what is a woman's greatest happiness in life?
That is to grow old with the person she loves.
But I am not able to give you such happiness.
I don't want you to become like my sister-in-laws and always worry and be scared for me.
Even more I don't want to be separated by death from the person I love.
Since I cannot give you any promises,
then it's better to just separate early on.
Even if we are not able to be together forever,
I am already contented with just being with you.
I already feel very blissful.
Princess, you don't understand
because you haven't experienced the heart stabbing pain that my sister-in-laws went through.
It's still not too late to separate now.
[The Young Warriors]
This spear used to shine and emit heat.
I am going to let it display vigor again.
I promise you that after returning from signing the treaty,
no matter if it is the ends of the world, as long as you want to go,
I will accompany you.
I won't let you guard Tianbo Manor alone again.
Saihua.
Don't be sad anymore.
I am not dead.
Impossible.
Am I dreaming?
Am I really dreaming?
You are not dreaming.
I'm not dead.
Your husband has returned to see you.
It's real.
You are real. You really have returned.
Saihua, being able to marry you
is my lifetime's greatest fortune.
You know clearly the right thing to do and the principles to follow.
You're an exceptional person among women and
a heroine.
You are definitely not an ordinary woman.
Didn't you previously say that without Song, how can there be our home?
It is exactly because of these words of yours
that I am able to fully concentrate in resisting the Liao and protecting our land.
You never let me have distractions.
Never let me worry.
I need your support.
You must continue holding on, okay?
No way!
I cannot lose you.
Without you by my side, it is better to just die.
Saihua, believe me.
I didn't leave you. I am still alive.
I just temporarily can't stay by your side.
No way! You can't go! You can't go!
Saihua, I really didn't die. You must believe me.
Yang Ye will forever stay by your side.
The Yang family's spirit will grow and multiply without end,
never extinguishing.
You all must carry it on.

Mother.
I repaired Father's broken spear.
Yang Ye will forever stay by my side.
The Yang family's spirit will never extinguish.
What is flowing in your body is your father's blood.
His life will continue in your body.
The duties he didn't finish fulfilling,
let us help him fulfill them.
Okay.
The things that Father wasn't able to finish, let us do it for him.
Madam, Young Master Six, Eunuch Li is asking for an audience.
Madam Yang and General Yang,
I am relaying HIs Majesty's verbal decree to call for Yang's Son Five and Yang's Son Six to the palace for a discussion.
[The Young Warriors]
Respectfully greeting, Your Majesty.
Yang's Son Five and Yang's Son Six, His Majesty secretly called you two to come here
because he has some words from the bottom of his heart that he wants to tell you two.
If Your Majesty really has heartfelt words,
you should look and say them to those favored subjects of yours.
Our Yang family are not able to bear it.
Just some time ago,
I removed my imperial robe in the ancestral temple
and let your father heavily whip me.
That time, I painfully learned and
I made an oath to re-energize Song and bring good fortune to the country.
Be a good emperor that can face the Heaven
and its citizens.
I even conferred the Dragon-headed Cane to the Yang family.
Rewarded the Golden Whip to Eighth Virtuous Prince.
Their purpose was that I hope that you both
can supervise and assist me.
I sincerely wanted to become a good emperor.
I never thought that in a moment of ignorance,
I believed the slanderous words of Pan Renmei, and created the situation we're in now.
I wronged General Yang.
I wronged the citizens of the country.
I am not qualified to be this emperor.
If Your Majesty is really sincere in repenting for your sins,
you should immediately bring order out of chaos.
Go execute Pan Renmei and announce his crimes to the world!
Offer him to my father and brothers' dead soul!
When I learned that Commander Yang
used his own life to prove his innocence,
only then did I realize my mistake and recognized who the villain is.
But everything is already too late.
Loyal subjects of the government have all left.
The main power of the government
is now controlled by Pan Renmei.
It's not that I don't want to eliminate this evil person,
but it's that I don't have the power to do so anymore.
You created all this yourself!
I admit it.
But I want to tell you all
that if we try to bring order to the chaos now
and revive the laws and discipline in the imperial court,
the only ones that I can rely on now
is your Yang family.
I am earnestly requesting the two generals now to help me
eliminate the evil alliance and save the Song dynasty.
I just fear that Your Majesty
will not stand by your words again.
What Older Bro Five said is not totally unreasonable.
Your Majesty, our whole Yang family
are one with you in heart and mind. Yet that invited bad results.
I fear that this time, you will hesitate again.
I know that
it was me who caused your father's death.
It's just right that you two don't believe me.
But there is one thing...
I hope that you both can do this for the Song dynasty.
To express my determination and to resolve the anger in your hearts,
may the two generals punish me by whipping,
as long as you two will agree to save Song.
Your Majesty, why must you do so?
I, Zhao Guangyi, have wronged my ancestors
and the citizens.
I am being haunted by this every night in my dreams. I am ashamed for being so weak.
I wasn't able to decipher right from wrong and don't deserve to be a ruler.
May both generals do it.
Do it in your father's stead.
Please do it.
Your Majesty,
my father sacrificed his life that day
not for his own illustrious reputation
but to wake Your Majesty up
that you must be able to clearly distinguish right from wrong,
determine who is the loyal subject
and who is the crafty and fawning one.
Not being blinded by evil persons again.
Don't ruin the great Song dynasty.
If Your Majesty can really sincerely repent,
then even if my father is dead, his death was worth it.
Our Yang family consider this country as our responsibility.
Measly things like life, fame, and interests,
a moment of sacrifice and insult,
we totally won't make a fuss about it.
Okay.
As long as the loyal warriors of your Yang family are around,
then Song still has a chance.
Your Majesty, as long as we all are of one heart,
we surely will find a way to defeat Pan Renmei,
eliminate the crafty and fawning officials, and revive the law and order of the imperial court.
Okay.
So His Majesty already knows that Pan Renmei is harboring evil intentions
and wants to eliminate him.
This is indeed a fortunate matter for the Song dynasty.
Father's death was not in vain.
This despicable Pan Renmei surely didn't think that HIs Majesty is just pretending to be imbecile
but he actually has a heart that's like a bright mirror
and has long seen his excessive ambition.
I don't care how His Majesty thinks.
This old despicable Pan Renmei, I surely will kill him.
Older Bro Five, although we know that
Pan Renmei has secretly connived with the Liao
and wants to usurp power and the throne,
he is scheming and has deep foresight so he wouldn't expose his weakness that easily.
Adding how powerful he is in the government,
monopolizing the main power and controlling the three armies,
it won't be easy to eliminate him.
That's why we have to act very carefully so as not to alarm him.
How then can we make him walk into our trap?
Pan Renmei secretly had an imperial robe made and is drooling over the imperial throne.
If we let him feel that he'll be able to sit on the throne soon,
he then will surely grab hold of this chance.
By then, Sima Zhao's intentions will be revealed by himself.
How then are we going to make him feel that there is a chance for him to take the advantage?
Pan Renmei is an internal problem
while the Liao and Day Spirit are external problems.
We must eliminate the internal and external problems at the same time.
This is a more long lasting scheme.
What Older Bro Five said is right.
I have also been thinking about that matter.
Although Pan Renmei holds military power,
he still will need the Liao's help to get the imperial throne.
We can then use this chance to lure the Liao in and catch these two birds with one stone.
Son Six, do you mean to take advantage of the current situation and make them suffer from their own schemes?
That day, the Liao lured our Yang's Army to enter Golden Sand Beach.
They surrounded us both in the front and back and killed us because we were caught unprepared.
This time, I'm going to return the favor to them using their own medicine.
Older Bro Five, where do you think the battle for it will be most advantageous for us?
Based on terrain, the Youzhou at the border is the most suitable.
I think it should be here.
Bianjing City?
Right.
If Pan Renmei really wants to get the throne,
he surely will lure the Liao army to directly charge into the imperial city.
Son Six, if we set the battle here in the capital, it really is too risky.
After all, Pan Renmei holds the military power.
If there will be any mishap that happens,
the result would be unimaginable.
Eighth Virtuous Prince, right now Pan Renmei holds all the military power.
He can cause a rebellion anytime, endanger His Majesty and the country.
Rather than letting him harm the Song dynasty,
why don't we be guests acting as the host* ( * from passive to active)
and Lure the Liao army to enter the city?
This will actually be beneficial to us.
First, we can lure the army to enter deep and cut off their reinforcement.
Second, the Liao have traveled far so they surely will be exhausted.
Their fighting strength will surely be weakened.
Third, we can use this to eliminate the vigilance of Pan Renmei against us.
This will then be the best time for us to collude both internally and externally and destroy the Liao.
It is indeed true that a tiger father has no dog children.
You have superior judgement.
To ensure that our plan goes perfectly,
we still should mobilize some army backing.
This will ensure that we can really envelop them.
I'll go to the border army and mobilize some soldiers.
Okay.
[The Young Warriors]
Younger Son Six, after the battle at Golden Sand Beach, you indeed have grown up.
You surely are showing the qualities of a great commander.
From now on, the rebuilding of the Yang family is on your shoulders.
Older Bro Five, in terms of fighting skills and experience, I am way inferior to you.
Stop being too polite.
Right now, in terms of guts and strategy skills, you are way stronger than me.
Even when compared to Father, you are not inferior in any respect.
Older Bro Five, stop laughing at me already.
This battle with the Liao will be a dangerous one and we are not allowed to make any mistakes.
We can only succeed and not fail.
That's right.
Luring the Liao army to attack Bianjing is indeed a dangerous scheme,
but it is the fastest and most effective method.
Older Bro Five, we must not waste any time.
I'll leave the mobilizing of soldiers to you then.
Don't worry.
The soldiers guarding the borders and the 16 regions of Yanyun are mostly old subordinates of Father.
Adding that we have His Majesty's written decree,
they surely will listen to my assignments.
But you are working right under Pan Renmei's eyes.
You must be careful.
Okay.
I'll go make preparations.
You take care of yourself.
His Majesty is here!
Respectfully greeting, Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty. - My beloved consort, how are you?
- Your Majesty, I feel my chest hurting so much. - What?
I can't endure it anymore.
Hurry and call the imperial physician! Sit down.
The imperial physician has been here and he already gave me medicine.
Then... then hurry and take your medicine.
Imperial physician said that the medicine might affect my child.
No matter how much pain I am in,
I still will insist on giving birth to our child.
Beloved consort.
Your Majesty, I also am doing this to help my father repent for his sins.
My father still hasn't forgot my brother's tragic death
so he had a moment of confusion and caused the Yang's Army to be trapped at Golden Sand Beach.
Your Majesty, my father was indeed at fault this time.
He also knows that he was wrong.
But he doesn't know what to do, either.
So he came to beg me to apologize to you and the Yang family on his behalf.
- Your Lady Highness! - Your Majesty,
I know that you love me very much.
But this time, my father really was wrong.
If Your Majesty will forgive my father, you will feel that you have wronged the Yang family.
As his daughter, I also dare not defend him.
That's why, if Your Majesty wants to punish my father for his crimes,
- I also dare not say much. - Your Lady Highness!
Enough already.
Let's temporarily not talk about this matter.
- I'll assist you to have some rest. - Your Majesty,
even if you kill my father, it will not bring Commander Yang back to life, either.
Moreover, I am currently pregnant.
My father is our child's grandfather.
He also has his (Pan Renmei) blood in his body.
Your Majesty, a sage also commits mistake.
Just give him one more chance.
I think he surely will do his best for Song.
Your Majesty, just for the child in my womb,
forgive him already!
Okay. Okay.
Don't talk about this matter anymore.
You must take care of your health.
Put the welfare of our child first.
Your Majesty.
Rest well first.
- Someone call for an imperial physician. - Yes.
Your Majesty, you must forgive my father.
I beg you already.
Forgive my father, okay, Your Majesty?
Starting today, you all are not just my good daughter-in-laws,
but also my good daughters.
Yang Ye didn't die. Your husbands didn't either.
If you all still love your husbands,
starting today turn your sorrow and grief
into yearning and strength. Diligently learn the Yang's Spear technique.
We must let the Liao know that the might of the Yang father and son will reappear in the battlefield.
We must let them tremble in fear when they hear about us.
Lady Five.
Mother, sorry.
We already won't be able to change what happened in the past.
But I hope that you can remember
that you are forever my good daughter-in-law.
Mother.
Don't cry. Accompany me. Accompany me to go to battle, okay?
