Episode 52
If I kneel down and it can help
to solve this,
the people would not need to suffer from the war,
the empress can go back to her palace,
I will do it no matter what.
Even if it takes my life,
I will do it as well.
Although you are sincere
and you cared about empress,
but you are Song's emperor.
You can't kneel to the messenger
that comes from Jin.
You will lose your support,
once you kneel down,
and lose our integrity.
This is what I'm worried about.
Your majesty!
They won't leave...
They want to see you today.
Let me repeat again,
I won't see them!
Please do not be angry.
They panicked when they heard
about the peace negotiations.
They wanted to know if you are
accepting the peace negotiations.
They look worried, but when it
comes to this important moment,
everyone has no idea.
I don't know why am I raising
these rubbish here...
Your majesty!
Don't blame me for being rude.
I think you can ask someone.
Who is it?
Sir Qin.
Qin Hui, please take orders.
Eunuch...
My husband is very sick,
he can't get down from the bed.
His majesty wants to see him.
He has to go!
Eunuch, you can see for yourself to believe it.
Eunuch Yao.
Please apologize to His Majesty.
I know I'm guilty.
Yes, yes.
Such bad luck.
Good bye.
Husband...
You are lying to them,
We are dead, if they found out.
I've been trembling from fear from
the 5 countries city to Lin'an.
I'm more like a dog, and
the Jins got hold of my evidence,
but the emperor send me here and there.
I've had enough of these days.
Under this circumstances,
I can only take one's chance.
Either, I control the people,
or I will never stand forever.
His majesty would hate you.
His majesty!
He feels that I'm different,
then he likes me,
but then he suspects me.
This is his attitude to me.
From now on, I must
make him fear me.
Where had the fat rat gone?
It was here just now.
Fat rat, where are you?
Can you help me find it?
Where did it run to?
Do you want to escape?
I bet you can't ran out of my palms.
What are you saying?
You've been caught,
Prime Minister Qin.
I brought a cat from Persia,
then you don't need to be afraid of rats.
Such beautiful cat!
Have a seat!
Let me cook something for you.
Madam.
Congratulations!
His majesty wanted to see you.
I told you that His majesty
would hire you again.
Get packed,
and we shall leave now.
Since His majesty had said it,
don't lose this chance.
Do you know why he's looking for me?
He wanted a peace negotiation,
he needs someone now.
If he doesn't hire you,
who would he hire?
He will only think of me when
he is in difficulties.
If he can see me easily,
when problem is solved,
he will fire me again.
His majesty had summoned you
a few times. If you kept pushing it,
aren't you afraid of getting killed?
Come...
Let's eat and talk.
There might not be a third time,
Sir Qin, aren't you afraid that
His majesty would lock you up?
Sir Zhang...
When someone is hungry, he
would not throw away the meat he has.
He is willing to eat it,
even it's rat meat.
Sir Zhang...
Is it delicious?
Looks like you are not hungry.
Qin Hui...
Who does he think he is.
I want to use him, then I can use.
I can drop his position at anytime.
Now the situation has changed,
I have to beg him.
He thinks he's the Zhuge Liang.
What does he want?
He wants me to beg him?
Don't be angry, it's
actually my fault.
Please forgive me.
What do the others think?
Your majesty!
There's no useful letters.
Everything is useless.
Your majesty!
What shall we do next?
Mom.
You're not feeling well?
Let me serve you some soup.
No, thanks. -No.
Mom.
What is wrong with you?
I saw Zhang Yong.
It reminds me of my old home.
I didn't think this time
we would be parted by death.
Mom.
You can go back.
Don't comfort me.
I know I'm old.
That's it.
Last night I had a dream.
I dreamt...
We went to see a shadow play.
Mom...
I remember when I was young,
you like to bring me to see shadow play.
Every fifteen day of the month,
someone will come for the shadow play.
We will bring one small stool,
and sit under the stage to watch.
You concentrated on the shadow play,
when the shadow play finishes,
we are still reluctant to leave.
It's been over 20 years.
Fei'er...
Mom...
If I ever passed away,
you must bury me in the high hills.
Mom...
Don't say something bad.
I can't go back alive,
but I want to see my hometown
after I passed away.
Mom.
Drink some water.
Mom.
Are you feeling better?
If I can go back in the future,
please bury my coffin with your father's.
There's no one in the old home, I think
there are weeds on your father's grave.
Look...
This is interesting.
Interesting...
Not bad...
Look...
Not bad...
Good. -Perfect.
Good.
Yes.
You like to eat fresh walnut.
Every time I misses you,
I will peel one walnut.
I've collected this much.
Come.
You can eat one.
You are a man, you must
take up the responsibility.
Son, you have to leave.
Let me give you four words,
Be loyal and patriotic.
You must be loyal outside,
but you must be filial.
Loyalty cannot exist with filialness.
Normally, loyalty would be used,
to be loyal to a father or an emperor.
Why this word can't be expand?
Not loyal to the emperor,
but the intention to be righteous.
The right thing,
the right contribution,
the right battle,
and loyal for righteousness,
and expand for righteousness,
and kill yourself for righteousness.
The country, the word does
not only mean Song.
It means brotherhood,
means peaceful country.
The Government uses the
righteousness to rule.
Your loyalty, your country,
might be here,
might be in the future.
Mom.
I will remember what you teach me.
We still need to part.
You can rest here.
Father.
What are you looking at?
There might be rain tomorrow.
Father, stop joking.
Look at these stars,
how can it rain tomorrow?
You'll see then.
Yes.
What is the situation there?
His majesty is always angry!
He scold those people as useless.
Tell me, when there is no one
to give him idea, when he
needed someone there.
What about Yue Fei?
Father.
I heard his mom passed away.
He went to pay his respect.
I think he doesn't
have time for this.
He wouldn't ignore
if such things happen.
He's ignorant now.
Look, His majesty is
not worried about the peace
negotiation, but how to negotiate.
Now His majesty has no direction.
Father...
Now His majesty needed you.
Father...
When will you see His majesty?
Your majesty!
What is it with you?
I'm worried about the negotiation.
Your majesty can't eat, can't
sleep because this problem.
You can't be like this.
Why don't I bring you
to go out and take a walk?
What do you think?
Yes.
You're right.
Your majesty have been
worried for so long,
why don't you go out and take a walk.
It might clear your mind
and you will be enlightened.
Okay.
I will listen to your advice.
Quick, go and prepare.
Yes.
Concubine,
do you know that when
I first saw you, it was
at some place like here.
It's been 10 years.
Time passes.
Wang Yuen, Kang Lu, they
dared to commit foolish acts
and upset you.
But luckily, they have
their bad endings.
But...
I'm still in a state of shock.
Let's not mention about the past.
I've forgotten about it.
Do you still hate me?
I've hated you.
But it's too tiring.
It's raining!
Come.
Let me find you a place to hide.
Come.
What is it?
Go out!
Go and see what's happening.
Yes.
Go out!
Go out.
Go out!
Your majesty!
I can hear from their tone,
they came from the north.
The battle lasted so long, people has
to move to South for business.
What a pity.
They can't go home,
they can't plant on their land.
Bianjing at that time was a place
where everyone goes to, and
a center point to other places.
It was a busy city.
Now...
My only wishes is
to keep the land of Jiangnan,
and reproduce Bianjing, so
that people can live peacefully.
The world will be in peace
if the negotiation succeeded.
I believe you can do it.
This negotiation is related
to our country, although we
have so many officers,
but we can't even ask one.
Only Qin Hui, he's
quite a smart one.
But he doesn't want to see me.
What shall I do?
Ten year ago,
I took over the tofu stall from my father,
we had a very touch time.
One day a restaurant let us supply tofu
to them and we were very happy.
It was a big business.
But at that time, the
beans seller said the price went up.
We didn't have a choice.
Since we promised the restaurant,
we bought the beans at a high price.
Although we lost money in that business,
but it's actually a stalling tactics.
The restaurant trusted us and we
became the only tofu provider for them.
Since then, our business turned better.
Your stories sounds reasonable.
Don't laugh at me.
Eunuch Yao.
Your majesty!
Where does Qin Hui live now?
At South city.
It's not far from here.
Your majesty, it's here.
Sir Qin.
The emperor is here.
Sir Qin.
Your majesty!
Sir Qin is dead.
Dead?
2 days ago he was vomiting blood.
He's dead now.
Your majesty!
Sorry, I didn't know you are here.
Please forgive me.
It's okay.
Thank you.
I didn't expect...
Please wake up, Your majesty is here.
Your majesty!
I'm here to greet you.
Sorry for not noticing.
Husband...
Please rise...
Thank you.
Qin Hui...
I didn't expect that you
are like this.
I blame myself for letting
you suffer in this situation.
I'm sorry to let you worry.
I'll bring some herbs for you,
it can cure you.
You are the supporter of Song,
please get well soon.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
Your majesty, have a seat!
Yes.
We are having peace negotiation,
what is your opinion?
I think...
A peace negotiation will create a win-win solution,
but a battle will caused both to lose.
What do you mean?
Your majesty!
Emperor Zhen Zong did sign an
agreement with Da Liao at that time,
to grant the total income of both
district to Da Liao, in exchange
for peaceful world.
But now...
If I can spend a little, I can take
back Henan and Shanxi...
Your majesty!
You love the country and the people.
I think...
In 2 years time, we can definitely
gain back the money we have paid.
I understand all these,
but the Jin are giving me a hard time.
We must surrender to them
and they asked me to kneel...
This is ridiculous!
Yes.
I heard that they stood firm on this.
There is no negotiation.
If we don't agree, the
negotiation might be cancelled.
If it's so, where does
Song dynasty stand?
We have to think of something.
You are right.
Your Majesty!
Actually your majesty can use the
mourning for one's recently deceased consort.
You can leave aside the affairs of the state.
Since you are leaving it aside, then you don't
need to care for the messenger.
Then...
Don't bother about the messenger,
no kneeling then.
Okay.
I didn't waste my effort actually.
But...
Do you think they are willing to?
Your majesty!
Let me handle this matter.
Prime minister, thank you!
You can return to your house tomorrow.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Congratulations!
What if they don't agree?
Such a rude country, I don't
think they have any manners at all.
It's useless to tell them
about the mourning.
If I kneel to them,
I think the officers
would rather kill me.
Eunuch, let me meet Your Majesty!
Sir Zhao.
This is very urgent.
It can't be delayed.
Sir Zhao.
Eunuch...
Sir Zhao, you...
Your majesty!
Sir Zhao.
What is it?
You are making so much noise.
You are an important
officers, please watch out.
Your majesty!
If our country lost it's dignity,
we, as the officer has
no dignity to be spoken of.
Your majesty!
Qin Hui is Jin's spy.
You can't use him.
Qin Hui is capable,
and you people only know
about dignity.
Who should I use other than him?
Your majesty...
Stop talking.
If you don't have any other matter,
please return home.
I have something to discuss with him.
Your majesty!
Please do not negotiate with them!
Your majesty...
Since Sir Zhao does not agree,
I will not continue with it.
This is my country,
or his country?
Please rise.
Your majesty!
If he reacts like this, then
the officers will have the same reaction.
Actually...
The Jins does not accept our suggestion
is because...
Complete the sentence.
I want to hear the truth.
Your majesty!
The Jins insisted for you to kneel is
because Sir Zhao was rude when
he negotiated with them, and
he made them angry.
Nonsense!
A gentleman gets along with others, but he does not necessarily agree with them
The Jins are cruel and full with wild ambitions,
how can I deal with people like them?
