Episode 11
Emperor.
We can't agree to it.
The Jin are ambitious.
Their appetite will get bigger and bigger.
It's better to make a last stand rather to fattened their appetite.
The outcome is not yet determined.
Emperor.
We have no route of retreat.
Forty thousand Jin's troops had gone to the south all the way.
They encountered very little resistance.
They've occupied twenty-seven states.
Emperor.
If we don't promise the Jin's,
it is difficult to predict whether we can keep Bianjing.
Emperor.
Enough!
If I have any other ways,
I wouldn't have fallen to this situation.
I've promised to accept the peace offer.
Promised to accept the peace offer.
Promise them first,
but keep a low profile.
But this time what the Jin's requested is too much.
Send which prime minister?
Dear ministers,
any comments?
Reporting to the Emperor.
Disaster is coming soon.
We as the courtiers should serve the court
This is a golden opportunity to show devotion to the Emperor.
However now I'm old and is critically ill.
It's hard to even walk just to attend the court meeting.
I'm afraid I'll be dead before I can even reach the Jin's camp.
Why I don't know you're sick?
Why you don't fall sick earlier or later, but instead during the time when the court need people?
Are you try to avoid the disaster?
Don't talk nonsense in front of the Emperor.
I didn't get sick purposely.
How would I be talking nonsense?
Emperor.
Since official Lee feel up to the job.
It's better send official Lee to go.
It's a pity I'm not a prime minister.
Otherwise, become a Su Wu.
Go northward as a shepherd, then what?
Emperor.
For so many years, official Lee has worked hard and performed a valuable service.
Please make him the prime minister.
Then everything will be fine.
You speak well.
But I think
official Li is an upright man.
If you go to the Jin's camp, you may stir up some trouble.
Official Zhang.
I think you're thorough.
You work conscientiously for the court over the years.
I've seen it.
So I think you're the candidate for prime minister.
Emperor.
My experience is not much.
Please think twice, Emperor.
I've decided.
Zhang Bangchang.
I'm here.
This Jin's camp trip to change the overall situation, it all depends on you.
I accept the order.
Today, I want to ask again.
who is willing
to undertake this task,
to go to Gui De for the meeting, to accept the peace treaty?
I won't go...
Bring him away.
I won't go...
Look at you all.
You all always tell me, you want to serve the Emperor and the court
But what is the result of serving?
Now Song is in a critical state.
The moment need to use the talent
But you all keep silent like a cicada in cold weather.
Dozens of princes but nobody have the courage
to undertake this great responsibility.
We don't have any talent.
Emperor.
Zhao Gou willing to go
Prince Kang is willing to go?
I'm willing to share your worries.
They are like wolves and are not like so civilized like Da Liao.
They never keep faith.
Have you consider it well?
Once you go, it's really like barely escaping from death.
Are you really willing to do so?
Zhao Gou as a royalty,
I am duty-bound.
Now Song is in trouble,
I should step forward bravely.
For the country I'm not afraid of death.
For the country I'm not afraid of death
Fortunately my nation is prosperous
Fortunately my nation is still prosperous.
Qin Hui greets madam Zhen.
Arise.
Thank you madam.
Your wife have told me several times,
if there's an opportunity, please let the Emperor to take care you.
I think she is right.
Since the Emperor like to eat your wife's big dumpling soup.
Again and again, he had summoned your wife to go inside palace to make the dumplings.
The Emperor should take care of you.
Thank you madam.
I'm grateful.
Why don't you kowtow to the madam?
Don't kowtow first.
Still don't know whether you can see the Emperor.
Although tonight the Emperor will have a feast at madam Wei's place.
But King is not fond of her.
The Emperor may not necessarily to go.
I understand.
Please come with me.
Sister.
I bring Qin Hui and his wife to pay respects to you.
Qin Hui greeting madam.
This is a greeting to the King, right?
I'm not in charge of things,
so don't kowtow to me.
Thank you madam.
My sister and me, our old ties is cemented by marriage.
She always come here.
She does the most favorite food of the Emperor,
asparagus chicken liver dumpling soup.
Really?
The soup is delicious.
I have asked the imperial kitchen to cook it a few times, but the taste is not the same.
It's just...
How about if
I ask her to go for a few times
to teach how to cook it.
Then all the people in imperial kitchen will know how.
I meant
today, Jin's armies had arrived.
Ordinary people can't even eat buns.
We're still here talking about asparagus
Asparagus chicken liver dumpling soup.
The God's will curse on us.
We will be struck by lightning and split into two halves.
Sister loves to scare people by using the things outside the city walls.
Today situation,
Qin Hui is most clear on it.
How about let him tell you some informations?
Qin Hui,
then you tell me, how long for the battle?
Replying to madam.
Zhou Yi said
to observe the astronomy.
To observe the progress of human civilization,
then can use the humanities
to cultivate the world.
This period, we can't differentiate the day and the night.
Hot and cold are unevenness.
The system of sun and moon.
The stars are in a mess.
This is the changing of day time,
as brutal as the beasts.
Hiding the disaster.
Finding an opportunity to grab the throne of the Emperor.
This is the changing of humanities.
Sudden changes in trends.
Even as a man of talent,
the Emperor can't hold it.
The Emperor and the empress should know that
to aggravate a complicated situation is useless.
How can fan the flames and add to the fuel?
Transform into non-human energy.
It will all work itself out in the end.
What you are saying is that
the Emperor should just eat a few large soup dumplings,
and don't bother to ask about the rest.
Emperor said
Got Li Gang, then have every Gods.
The sweat of Li Gang is the river to protect the city.
The blood of Li Gang is the rain to extinguish a fire.
Wrestling with the Jins,
sending Li Gang alone to go, only hurt the stomach, is enough.
This word madam still love to hear.
But if let Emperor hear,
he sure will let you go.
The court belong to all officials, not only to Li Gang.
Now,
everything is push to him.
You all eat too much?
Mother.
Wishing mother to live longer.
Gou.
Mother.
Where is father?
Didn't come.
What?
Father said for your birthday feast, he will visit you, right?
Just simply said.
He rarely have the mind.
Qin Hui greeting his Highness.
You're from the yushitai, Qin Hui.
I'm.
Outrageous.
Don't you don't understand the rule of the palace.
Can such a person like yourself simply enter the harem?
People come.
Drag him out.
Gou.
His wife is a relative of madam Zheng.
Don't be rude.
So, he is a relative of royalty?
No wonder so arrogant.
Mother.
This person use the name of yushitai,
and send an official communication to Jin's camp.
There were many discussions in the court.
Several Great Generals can't wait to take off his skin.
Madam.
Your Highness.
The draft for the letter is here.
Please has a look.
The battle between Song and Jin have caused numerous casualties.
If this trend continues, it is difficult to settle the consequences.
Now the Emperor depends on Li Gang.
Others' words are not heard by anyone.
Now also got no Marshal.
Hope he will consider the people,
and withdraw the troops earlier.
Both troops suffers no loss.
Confucius said must listen to the talent.
The decent theory, after listening must take action.
Hope doesn't turn away from the Marshal.
Thoughtful.
Change is precious.
How can you prove that
this letter is entirely consistent
with the letter sent to Da Le?
Your Highness.
If even one word is different,
Qin Hui will be struck by lightning and split into two halves,
and die without a burial place.
Madam.
Qin Hui is the husband of the former prime minister's granddaughter.
He would never betray his master for the sake of glory.
How do you explain why this letter is hidden in your hat?
Your Highness.
I took a risk to send the letter.
For the fear of a misunderstanding,
from morning till night, I wore this manuscript,
to testify that I didn't lie.
Today, indeed I make use of it.
Gou.
An official willing risk his life
to take the consideration of the world and submit a letter.
It shows his courage and loyalty.
His magnanimity is shown.
Qin Hui.
This retreat for the rescue got many ways.
Li Gang blindly hitting is not necessarily the best strategy.
If can be an easily won battle without much fight.
Go to the boundary of Bianjing.
Just let the court talk whatever they want.
Thank you madam.
If this is really the best strategy,
then why I still need to go to the Jin's camp in Gui De?
Gou.
What did you say?
You're going to Gui De?
The itinerary has been set.
Just waiting for the court decree.
Then I'll depart immediately.
Is it?
The Palace have thirty-one Royal Highness,
why select you to go?
Congratulations prince.
He is send to Jin's camp as a hostage.
Why the congratulations?
Is that also spoken by Confucius?
Today in the court got many that can speak well like Zhang Bangchang.
But the Emperor only picked the prince to the Jin's camp to do work.
This only shows that in the eyes of the Emperor
his Royal Highness is an exemplary and outstanding prince.
Furthermore,
In diplomatic relations, he takes the greater interest.
For the weak, they will take the lesser.
The theory
of this balanced statement
must be experienced,
so that can be deviously soak
into the mind.
This trip is a good opportunity to increase his experience.
Of course need to celebrate.
I heard the General Liu loss his life when he go to Jin's camp for a meeting.
Since Supervisor Qin is so eager to speak
and spread to Gan Li, don't know
why didn't volunteer to go to Jin's camp to show his ability?
Yes.
If you volunteer to accompany the prince to go,
then the prince will not be too burden.
I've the intention.
Tomorrow, early morning. I'll report to Emperor.
Mother.
Your baby has grown up.
I'll be carefully on everything.
Please don't worry.
Cannot, Gou.
I can't let you go to the Jin's camp become a hostage.
If the court has the means for using military forces,
how can consider a prince?
Mother.
Now. I go to find the Emperor and tell him.
Mother.
King's Father arrives. (former King)
Greeting King.
Rise up.
Thank you.
Dear,
today is your birthday.
Needless to be so polite.
Your Majesty,
it's not important to celebrate my birthday.
I have a presumptuous request, I hope you can agree to.
Please speak.
Gou is still young.
Please send other to Gui De.
This,
since Emperor has ordered it,
it's unlikely to be change.
Your Majesty,
please spare Gou.
I beg you.
Gou has courage and knowledge.
You should be proud for giving birth to him.
Besides,
Gou is faithful.
Why you can't let him go.
Your Majesty,
I just have a son.
If he is dead,
I also don't want live.
How about now I award you as a consort?
Your bedroom can be placed near to me.
If Gou can come back safely, then I'll award him as a commander and be he given a city.
What are you opinions?
No.
Emperor.
No.
Mother.
No.
Mother.
No.
Mother.
This time I voluntarily go to Jin's camp to become a hostage.
Can serve the court.
I'm very happy.
Don't be sad, mother.
Don't make it difficulty to father.
Gou.
I represent mother to thank you.
Maybe I wouldn't come back.
Hope father can take care your health.
Gou.
Mother.
Starting today.
You're a consort.
Gou.
Please be at peace.
The Jin's immoral act is scolded by all the people.
This time they will surely restrain themselves.
If you still worry,
I know Zong Ze had found a batch of great talents.
If the court can find an excuse to borrow from the General,
he wouldn't reject it.
In that case
let the messenger discuss it with Zong Ze.
Let the persons come.
If they can protect the young master, to come back peacefully, they will be well rewarded.
Thank you or the mercy of madam.
Yue Fei.
Here.
Fu Qing.
Here.
Zhang Yong.
Here.
Wang Gui.
Yes.
You will go to Beijing.
To protect Prince Kang, to go to Gui De for the peace treaty negotiation.
Must peacefully go and come back.
If anything goes wrong, I'll punish Yue Fei.
Yes.
Marshal.
How about me?
I want go with brother Yue,
to contribute to Song.
Permitted.
Thank you.
This matter is concerning the affairs of the state.
No mistake is allowed.
You're to pretend to be the servant of the prince, to keep around him.
Be cautious.
We obey.
Zong Ze Marshal.
I've heard that the prince of Jin is cruel.
General Liu is stuck in the peace negotiation.
Today, dead or alive is unknown.
Ordering us to accompany Prince Kang to go to Gui De, is asking us to commit suicide.
The Marshal is here.
Don't be rude.
I'm telling the truth.
I haven't married yet.
I don't want to die without a reason.
Zhang Yong is right.
The trip to Gui De is indeed dangerous.
The fourth prince of Jin proposed for us to send a prince for the peace negotiation.
This is unprecedented.
Prince Kang, with disregard to life and death,
volunteered to go not only to help the court and shows the strength of the country.
We as the minister of the court should lead.
Zong Ze Marshal.
Please be assured.
We will with due diligence fulfill the task of the court.
We will due diligence to fulfill the task of court
Good.
After prepare immediately depart
After preparing, immediately depart.
We obey.

Zhang Yong.

Are you all right?
Zhang Yong.

Stomach ache?
I'm sure I ate wrong food this morning.
Food poisoning?
Are you suffering from food poisoning?
Maybe.
Brother.
Is your stomach still in pain>
Now my hand is in pain.
Zhang Yong.
You don't wish to go, so you put on an act.
You're a good actor.
Zhang Yong.
We're from Tang Ying.
You don't disgrace the people of Tang Ying.
Brother.
I don't want to die in vain.
Do you know,
your emphasis is on law-abiding?
But I only care for wealth and fortune.
You go blind for fucking money!
Pity you have a good skill but just think about windfall
It's a pity as you have a good skill. Just think about the windfall.
Brother.
You know I'm the only child.
I really want go back to the countryside,
and marry. Shi Wu
I can't let her get married, then become a widow.
You just back.
Brother.
You really let me go?
You really want to go, I also can't block you.
These thirty pieces of silver, give it to my mother.
This hairpin to you wife.
She wanted it for a long time.
Brother.
How about you follow me back.
We buy a piece of land.
Yue Fei, Zhang Yong.
We plant, then live a good live.
Don't talk so much of nonsense
Quickly, go.
Brother.
You are not afraid these this silver go into my purse?
If you really just have so little ambition, then
your father should change your name to useless and rubbish.
Your father should change your name to useless and rubbish.
Good shot.
Only arrows shot to the red spot only, can be call a good shot.
The arrow shot out yesterday, fall on the halfway mark.
Today, this arrow fall in the center of the target.
You're really improved by leaps and bounds.
The talent of arrow
You have the talent of archery.
Good.
If shoot at the prince of Jin, sure to frighten him.
Greeting prince.
Come.
Prince.
Marshal Zong Ze ordered Yue Fei to lead four guards to protect you during your trip to Gui De for the meeting.
Greeting prince.
Needless ceremony.
Look up.
Let him recognized your faces.
We're going for peace negotiation, and not hunting.
Why let them, who are good in archery for protection?
This time, go Gui De,
if something happen, then it is a scourge.
Better let them go back to their hometown.
Wait.
Mr. Zhang.
They must obey the Marshal.
I'm also...
Wait.
Since he is an archer,
how about letting him shows his hand?
I also want to know the perfect archery skills.
Good.
Yue Fei.
Do as what prince said.
Yes.
Listen.
You shoot three arrows first.
Yes.
Please.
This bow is too light.
Any heavier?
Just pick one.
Brother.
The most important thing is not to practice with the archery arrows, but with the mind.
If you care about winning or losing, then will lost the power.
Aim flak is focus your moral character
Aim is the focus of your moral character.
Mengzi said
if shoot but do not succeed,
seek the cause in oneself, instead of somebody else,
Not moving.
Peace in the limbs.
Tune the breath.
Understand the mean.
Then you can never miss.
Good.
Good shot.

Got such skill, I think the Jin will respect us.

What the gate of hell?
Last time we fail to protect and cause General Liu died
Last time we failed to protect and caused General Liu to die.

Have you heard about the Loyalty Club?
Loyalty Club?
Yes.
Loyalty Club.
You're the sliver face, Liang Xing?
I'm.
Sorry to disturb you.
This is the second master of the Loyalty Club.
Wu-Wu-Shu.
Thank you, for saving me the last time.
No need to thank.
Just return my pouch.
Young girl.
Good levitation.
Hero.
I've something about anti Jin, that I need to discuss with you.
Please go inside the room.
The Loyalty Club is formed by everyone who want to be anti Jin.
Now the Jins
not only surrounded Bianjing,
but even Zhongmu,
Zhu Xian city,
and the state of Chen.
Gui De,
in the state Cao had fallen to the Jins.
The Loyalty Club has more and more things to do.
In short,
although the court disregard the life and death of the Loyalty Club,
but we're always responsible to help the court.
Yue Fei don't know what you can teach me.
I don't dare too.
May I know is
this trip to protect Prince Kang and Zhao Gou,
to go Gui De, is for the peace negotiation with the Jins?
Escorting with four persons.
Look like you've numerous prying eyes.
Even such confidential matters is on your fingertips.
Does Gui De has a Loyalty Club?
You may not know it.
The court people always bring a flag and wear distinctive clothes.
And the brothers of the Loyalty Club is always concealed.
And the brothers of Loyalty Club is always conceal
Where the Jins goes,
then we will also go.
That's great.
Look like not only four of us are protecting Prince Kang,
to face Jin.
One person is not less.
Ten thousands is not that much.
Prince Kang's trip is undetermined.
We have someone in Gui De.
In the event of the unexpected,
surely can protect Prince Kang.
It's rare Prince Kang to volunteered to go for a peace negotiation.
We must ensure his safety.
Got the care of the Loyalty Club.
Peng Ju.
Then I feel relieved.
Thank all the warriors of the Loyalty Club.
Everybody.
You and your servants can't bring any weapons.
This is our rule.
Please.
