[Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin] 3
[Episode 35] 4
[Chang Lin Camp] 5
Prince. 6
Prince, central camp has been besieged. We lost contact with both left wing and right wing camp. 7
The west side might be our chance to break through and escape. 8
How many soldiers and horses left? 9
Less than thirty thousand. 10
Prince, if you can bring back our soldiers, even if you lose, 11
I will not add insult to injury or even say a single negative word. 12
Reorganize the troops. Do a break through. 13
-Yes. - Yes. 14
Retreat to the west! 15
General! Qin Lingshuo had dashed out of the city and is headed to the west. 16
It was almost two hours ago. 17
It's alright. He cannot get past Feishan Camp on the west. He could only turn back and come this way. 18
Why didn't you take the initiative and meet him head on? 19
Isn't it better for us to give Qin Lingshuo some time to gather his scattered troops? 20
Prince, we cannot stop. The army is close on our heels. 21
Ambush! Leave quickly! 22
Are you really letting them off? 23
The main troops of the royal army have been annihilated. Whether to take down Qin Lingshuo's head or not, 24
it makes no difference to our Great Liang. 25
Though Qin Lingshuo has had a crushing defeat, he's still the first-ranked Prince of Great Yu. 26
His foundation in the imperial court is still strong. 27
I don't wish to take him out totally and make life easy for Ruan Ying. 28
Let's go. 29
Internal conflict. Power balance. 30
So you do know about these. 31
I've lived half a century, I have seen many things. 32
But I have never seen 33
this phenomenon that though it is day, it was as dark as night. I have never seen 34
a person like you, audacious and having contempt for authority. 35
Looks like Minister Xun is not planning to announce the decree. 36
Now that the northern border is full of bloodshed, 37
the carnage has even covered the sun. 38
You do not regard the late emperor and His Majesty in your eyes. 39
Is there any difference whether I announce the decree or not? 40
Minister Xun, just be honest. 41
What do you want? 42
- They haven't finished yet? - Yes. 43
I don't understand the matters of the imperial court. But we have a valid reason for the battle at Ning Pass. 44
I think the General shouldn't be in any trouble, right? 45
Young Marquis. Young Marguis? 46
It's alright. 47
So long as the Old Prince of Chang Lin is still around, no one can do anything to Pingjing. 48
Great Liang have its own rules and laws. 49
Every single one of them is clear for everyone to see. 50
General of Huaihua, as for your crimes, 51
the imperial court will handle them accordingly. 52
It's not according to what I want. 53
I understand. 54
You want me to return to the capital for investigation. 55
Second Young Master of Chang Lin, you are highly distinguished. 56
I have no authority to arrest you. Do you want to return to the capital yourself 57
or wait for the imperial decree after I am back in the capital? 58
For the sake of His Majesty, this matter needs a conclusion. 59
I won't trouble you, Minister Xun to go back and forth. 60
Until I have finished the matters in the military, I will go back myself. 61
It's not that I don't believe in your promise. 62
Even if we have to wait, you have to give us an estimated time. 63
A month. 64
Alright. I will wait a month. 65
General of Huaihua, according to the military system of Great Liang, 66
when you return to capital, you are not allowed to bring more than 400 soldiers, 67
you can bring with you 100 men into the capital, 300 of them has to stationed outside the capital. 68
You can bring more than that. 69
I know this rule. 70
I know that you are aware of it. 71
Just that with today's happening as example, it's 72
not a bad thing for me to say this. 73
Miss. 74
Physician Du, are there more injured people entering the city? Let's go. 75
No. The military physicians can handle them. 76
There isn't any seriously injured patients for you to cure. You don't have to go. 77
Then you are looking for me to... 78
I just heard that Second Young Master might be in big trouble. 79
I know that you are worried about Second Young Master. But Minister Xun is still here and it's the frontline army camp, 80
I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to be there now. 81
I'm not going over to him. 82
- Then... - Physician Du, may I trouble you to pack my belongings? I'm going to Langya Mountain. 83
Old Prince, it's time for medicine. 84
Old Prince, why are you out? 85
Is there any military report for today? 86
The last day of the month is just over. No matter what's the result, 87
it will take some days for the news to reach us. 88
Old Prince, wait until you are recovered, the military report would have reached the capital. 89
Let's go in and have the medicine while it's still hot. 90
Eat medicine. 91

Please. 93
Greetings to you, Your Majesty. 94
It's the Wei hour. I'm here to escort you to court. (T/N: from 1pm to 3pm) 95
Court? I'm not going. 96
Is there any meaning for me to attend court? Isn't what they're going to discuss the same matter every time? 97
Mother Queen. 98
I know you are having a hard time. 99
But since you have been tasked with the responsibility of the country, how can you not go to court? 100
Pingjing- 101
I know very well the character of General of Huaihua. 102
Since he acted in such a manner, he would've his reasons. He's not back in the capital to defend himself, 103
yet the Cabinet has sent so many impeachment memorials. 104
Tell them I don't wish to read them at all. 105
Xiao Pingjing defied and refused to accept the decree. It was an insult to you. 106
He went to war during the mourning period. He offended the spirit of the late emperor. 107
Such crimes are hated greatly by men and gods. 108
What else is there to explain? 109
What crimes? Isn't it a great victory won at the northern borders? 110
I don't understand. So many memorials here, 111
why are there none which plead leniency for Brother Pingjing? 112
What Your Majesty said is right. The border is far away from the capital. 113
It's just a one-sided saying that he defied the decree. 114
It's hard to say there isn't any misunderstanding. 115
Before General of Huaihua returns to capital and defends himself, Old Prince, 116
as important subject in assisting you, he didn't say a single word. 117
Yet there's numerous discussion in the imperial court, as though he is guilty of the crimes. 118
I've always feel that something is not right. 119
What do you mean by this? 120
He defied the decree and went against the king. That isn't considered a crime? 121
Do we have to wait for him to stage a rebellion? 122
What I meant is no matter who's right or wrong, 123
I planned to plead leniency for General of Huaihua. 124
I don't why Your Majesty did not receive my memorial. 125
You have submitted a memorial? 126
Xun Feizhan, don't forget what's your clan surname. 127
Are you His Majesty's subject or a house slave of Chang Lin Manor? 128
Mother Queen! 129
Cousin. 130
Empress Dowager is trapped in her own obsessive thoughts. 131
I believe one day, she will regret. 132
Empress Dowager was a bit too anxious. 133
But looking at the facts, though His Majesty is young, 134
an imperial decree is still an imperial decree. 135
If this matter is not resolved, I'm afraid the ministers will follow suit in the future. 136
The power and authority of the emperor will be left without a shred. 137
From what I know from Empress Dowager, 138
ever since the report came in from the northern border, 139
it's true that many ministers were shocked and angry. 140
But who caused this to happen? 141
How would they know that this imperial decree 142
should never have been taken out of the capital. 143
Sister, tell me. After the report came in, 144
who were the ones that Empress Dowager have summoned? 145
I already knew about this matter at the northern border. 146
You came here in a rush. What would you like to ask? 147
Old Master, you can solve all difficulties in the world. 148
May I ask if there's any solution for Pingjing's predicament? 149
The way of the world move along naturally. 150
The way for a person to conduct himself, it is to live with a clear conscience. 151
Langya Court observes from the side on the happenings of the world. 152
We don't answer questions about the imperial court. 153
I know that Langya Court doesn't answer questions about the imperial court. 154
But for you, Old Master, 155
Pingjing is different from others. 156
I beseech for you to help Pingjing resolve this. 157
Yes, this child is different from others. 158
So I say, no matter what happens, as long as Langya Court is around, 159
it will his safe haven in the end. 160
Old Master, are you determined 161
not to help out in this matter? 162
Do you really know I have to help out in the matters of Chang Lin Manor? 163
Xiao Tingsheng is not an ordinary person. 164
He was born in turbulent times. He learnt and studied under a great teacher. 165
He has been smart and love to study since he was young. 166
How to go about establishing power and authority in the imperial court, 167
how to manipulate the ministers, with his capability, 168
you think he can't learn how to or he can't do that? 169
His ambition is not in these. It's not that he can't. 170
Thank you, Old Master. 171
Old Prince, during this time that you were recuperating, 172
many hearts in the capital are in chaos. 173
The empress dowager frequently meets with ministers. 174
The Cabinet incited and went along with it. 175
I don't want to mention those stubborn and inflexible. 176
Even if there are some who really wanted to defend Pingjing, 177
when faced with crimes of defying the decree and rebelling against the king, 178
they don't dare to say anything without you helping out. 179
Old Prince, this fire has broke out, 180
shouldn't you be doing something now? 181
Feizhan, what do you wish for me to do? 182
Pardon me for my impudence. I feel that 183
at the very least, you should... 184
The empress dowager has drawn some ministers to her side, 185
I then gathered some more ministers. Two different political factions will then be formed, 186
and they will argue and fight. 187
Once I do that, 188
it's equivalent to drawing some ministers under the wing of Chang Lin. 189
Do you know that as a minister in the imperial court, 190
it's not scary to have different thoughts and opinions on political matters. 191
The scary thing is you have two different political factions in front of you. 192
You have no choice but to choose one. 193
When Emperor Wujing was still alive, 194
he hated political faction struggles the most. 195
Once one is involved in them, whether you covet wealth and power, 196
or whether you have aspirations, in the end, 197
you will be restricted by these two words, 198
that is, political stand. 199
I don't have much time left. 200
I'll be seeing my elders and royal father soon. 201
Before I die, because of my son, 202
do I have to form a Chang Lin political faction? 203
Old Prince, but with the current situation, 204
you didn't cause it to happen. 205
To garner support for Pinging, 206
it's not as though you want to start a political faction. 207
Come, Feizhan, sit. 208
Once the two political factions are locked in a face off, 209
no matter what were your original intention, 210
in the end, when the two factions fight, your political stand 211
will eventually take precedence over what's right and wrong. 212
In this world, who can really live their lives with a pure heart, 213
and not drift with the flow? 214
Thank you all for sending me off. 215
We have fought together side by side in battle, that makes us brothers. 216
[Chang Lin Army] 217
No matter what the name of the banner change into in the future, 218
all of you as soldiers guarding the border, 219
will always be the great wall of the northern border of our Great Liang. 220
General, take care. 221
General, take care! 222

It will be alright. So many days have passed. 224
Old Prince would have contacted some ministers in the imperial court. 225
Power still has some influence in this imperial court. 226
Royal father will not do that. 227
Old Prince won't help you? 228
Those that I should be responsible for and face, 229
royal father will support me fully. 230
But as for those matters that you say, he won't do it. 231
Please rise. 232
Heir consort, since you are here to bid farewell, you must know everything. 233
Yes. 234
Your thinking is pure and naive, as how your Grand Uncle was like, 235
you are the most trustworthy and dependable. 236
Thank you, Old Master. 237
When you are back in Jinling, tell Pingjing this on my behalf. 238
Whether it is towards himself or towards others, 239
so long as he still has ties of friendship and loyalty, it's alright for him to do his best. 240
He should let go when it is time to do so. 241
Never nitpick, fault-find and blame himself, and in the process have obsessive thoughts. 242
I will remember that. 243
Ce'er, you must be good and listen to Mister Jiu. 244
Kiss me. 245
You are so good. 246
Mister Jiu, please bear with him. 247
Come. 248
Heir Consort, don't need to stand on ceremony. 249
The mountains is quiet, with a child around, things are more livelier. 250
Then I'm leaving. 251
Don't cry. 252
Let's go. 253
Don't cry. 254
Come, rise. 255
Is Ce'er doing well? 256
Don't worry, I have handled him to Lin Jiu. 257
It must be hard on you. 258
Second Young Master is back. 259
Second Young Master. 260
Uncle Yuan. 261
Your child, Pingjing, greetings to you, royal father. 262
Please rise, my child. 263
Yes. 264
You have achieved great victory at Ning Pass, 265
and annihilated the main force of two hundred thousand of the royal army. 266
This is what your brother and I wanted to accomplish all along 267
yet we couldn't. 268
Your brother and I are proud of you. If the late emperor is still around, 269
he would be proud of you too. 270
Royal father. 271
Your father knows it's not just your body that's fatigue. 272
Your heart's even more fatigue. 273
Get on up. Get up, my good child. 274
My good child. 275
Don't rush to attend court. 276
Stay home and restore yourself a few more days. 277
Yes. 278
How is it? 279
You're too eager, Sir. I only just returned. 280
What future did Xiao Pingjing pave for himself from the northern border? 281
What movements are the Chang Lin camps moving? 282
Nothing. 283
Nothing? 284
Xiao Pingjing has only been busy working on the post-war military allocations from the battle at Ning Pass this last month. 285
He's not done any preparations regarding the capital. 286
You're sure? 287
Maybe they've garnered suspicion of you and have been hiding it from you on purpose? 288
Whether you believe it or not, Sir, on this matter at the very least, 289
this Chang Lin second master of ours is truly a man who dares to act and dares to step up. 290
What do you mean dares to act and dares to step up? 291
He's clearly just arrogant beyond measure. 292
Even if the Chang Lin Heir were alive, he wouldn't dare to 293
act like nothing's to be feared like this before such a crime! 294
Does he really truly think that with the royal manor as his shield, we wouldn't be able to do anything to him? 295
You say something at least! 296
Xiao Pingjing only brought with him a hundred soldiers coming into the capital this time. 297
The royal manor has at most just two thousand troops too. 298
What's there to hesitate? 299
Can't be that you're actually waiting for him to rest up at home for a few days until he's feeling up to it. 300
He'll choose a nice auspicious date and attend court to face his offense? 301
Do we care about His Majesty's honor at all? 302
Your Highness, you are well aware though. 303
Chang Lin's second master and his elder brother are quite different. 304
We can't brush them as the same. 305
At this time, to go strong against Chang Lin Royal Manor. 306
It's not as easy as counting human heads here. 307
But there's one thing you did say that was correct. 308
It's how to pin Xiao Pingjing's crime. 309
The entire court and beyond are watching. 310
At least in manner, we cannot go at it at the Grand Prince. 311
By that you mean -- 312
Xiao Pingjing is with crime. 313
So we can't have him reside peacefully at the prince manor. 314
Go. Summon Deputy Commander Tang and Deputy Commander Wu from Forbidden Army Guard. 315
For what? 316
I know. Summon for what? 317
Chief Commander. 318
What are you discussing? 319
Commander Tang and Wu have been summoned into the palace. 320
They are not scheduled today. 321
It was Empress Dowager's attendants who summoned them by name. 322
What a rare guest. 323
Please don't be too courteous, Commander Sun. I am here by official task. 324
Command from inner court. 325
Inner Court Command 326
By the honorable command of Empress Dowager, Commander Sun of patrol guard garrison is summoned to assist Deputy Commanders Tang and Wu in arresting Xiao Pingjing. 327
By Her Highness the Empress Dowager's honorable command and the inner court's military command, 328
General Huaihua, Xiao Pingjing, who's returned to the capital under a charge of crime, 329
must be arrested to be placed on standby for questioning. Go and make the announcement inside. 330
Wait here. 331
Don't you know the Grand Prince is ill? What is this ruckus here? 332
I ask for forgiveness from the Heir Madam. We are here by command -- 333
Is the decree for me? 334
Of course it's not for you, Heir Consort. 335
If it's not for me, then I don't wish to hear a single word of it. 336
You don't have to announce it. 337
Heir Consort, you don't have to receive it. You just need to report it to 338
Old Prince or General of Huaihua. 339
Old Prince is sick and can't get out of bed. General of Huaihua is serving him by the bedside. 340
This is an act of filial piety as children should do. They are not to be disturbed. 341
Everyone in Chang Lin Manor, hear my order. 342
Present! 343
No one is allowed to go in and report anything. 344
Yes! 345
Since Heir Consort, you don't wish to hear the decree, and not allow anyone to report, 346
aren't you a bit unreasonable? 347
Reason? 348
When has Jinling city become a place of reason? 349
The decree is not for me, I won't hear a single word of it. 350
Ever since I marry into Chang Lin Manor, I have the right to manage it. 351
Why? You as an outsider have objections? 352
Heir Consort, you've gone too far. If you continue to be so unreasonable, 353
don't blame me for being rude 354
If you want to be rude, 355
just be rude to me. I have something to say today. 356
If anyone from Chang Lin Manor helps me today, just count it as me bullying you. 357
You are just going to stand by? 358
I'm a disciple of Meng clan. I'm really embarrassed to do this. 359
Moreover, you are half a rank higher than me. 360
Commander Sun. 361
I'm here. 362
We have agreed that the Capital Patrol is here to assist. Only to assist. 363
