Epi. 25
Father-in-lawFather-in-law
Just stand up and tell me
Father-in-law, come
Your Majesty
I'm not
raising an alarmist talk
Yes
At the beginning
Emperor Fei didn't trust me
and never listen to my advice
Then he got what he deserved
You're the descendant of deceased emperor
and my daughter is pleased to be Empress
Either for public or persona
I don't want
Your Majesty
to tread the heel of Emperor Fei
Father-in-law
I would like to ask
How long I should endure
One year
Two years
Five years, ten years, or forever
I'm asking you again
If I can endure
Will Yuwen Hu let go of me
You should know how Bore lost her baby
How can I endure
Your Majesty
Gou Jian endured hardships for ten years
before becoming an emperor
You ascend the throne not more than a year
Just take it easy
Just like what Empress said
If
the prince couldn't be born out successfully
There will be descendants for the dynasty
The courtiers will gradually return
Is that true
I do not dare to lie
I've one foot in the grave
I wish Your Majesty
can accept my advice
Father-in-law
Just stand up and tell me
Father-in-law, comeYour Majesty
Your Majesty
You've my word
Father-in-law
You've my word
Father-in-law
Your heard what Prime Minister said
Yes
What is your opinion
Please excuse me for calling a spade a spade
Although Prime Minister is experienced and prudent
it's too conservative
In other words
He's old
He's no longer holding the spirit like those years
Continue
I think
Keep enduring is a bad plan
Emperor Wu and Prime Minister Gao Huan from Dynasty Wei
are reflection of Your Majesty and Yuwen Hu
In those years, if Emperor Wu
didn't rush to Luoyang that very night
He might be died killing by Gao Huan
But Emperor Jing was
always respectful to Gao Huan
In the end
He died because of a poisonous wine
But Empress told me
Yuwen Hu feels guilty
At the moment
He will not harm at me
Yuwen Hu is violent in nature
He could hound his wife to deathand drive out his son
How can we trust his word
Actually Prime Minister was not single handed
in escorting Emperor Wei under the snow
Fleeing by night to Luoyang
What kind of boldness was that
And what kind of zeal was that
If we don't listen to Prime Minister
What should we do
Yuwen Hu must have sensed something wrong
Earlier plan
is complete and safe
Even if Yuwen Hu is strong
He must have weakness
His family is his biggest weakness
We've a good chance
After seven days
it comes to the anniversary of the death of Yuwen Hu's mother
At this time of the year
Yuwen Hu will offer sacrifice on his own
You wish to
do it directly
Emperor Fei has tried this before
As long as Yuwen Hu leaves Mansion of Imperial Tutor
He'll bring along with a number of guards
No way, no way
Your Majesty, don't worry
I've another move
Besides surrounding Yuwen Hu's former residence
I'll bring a team
to surround Mansion of Imperial Tutor
while he is leaving his mansion
Even if he could escape by luck
His children
will be under our control
Isn't that you said
Yuwen Hu is violent in nature
and doesn't care about his family
What if Yuwen Hu doesn't care about this
What should we do
Your Majesty
He could give his son a sound thrashing
because he still have another five sons
If we killed all of his five sons
Even if he intends to conspire a great cause
At that time
Who shall he succeed the throne to
Don't forget
He's old now
Are we too hurry
Your Majesty
The Praetorian Guards
have undergone training for half year
just for this day
You've got a point
But
I think we're too hurry
Your Majesty
You've to think for Your Empress
and her baby
Yuwen Hu is devious and sly
If he has intention to harm at Your Empress
What shall we do
Your Majesty
If you missed this good chance
Could it be after
little prince is born out
You want him to see an Imperial Father
who is overcautious
Don't you
want the little prince
to see his Imperial Father with enormous weight
Alright
For the sake of Bore
For the sake of little prince
I'll try my luck
Either success
or fail
It's all up to this war
We've to be cautious
Yes
Dad
You've taken medicine for so long
but still no sign of recovery
Do you want to try other Imperial Doctor
It's fine
Sickness will go away on foot
In addition, even if you change to others
I can't trust them
You're too tired
That's why the recovery takes time
Isn't that Your Majesty has promised
Why do you still anxious
Dongqu told me
Last night
When she closed the window at midnight
She saw that the light in your house was still on
Because of falling sick
I'm free throughout the day
So I couldn't't sleep well in night
MasterMaster
Look, they're back
This way
Greetings to Father
Wish Father
live as long as the pine and crane
Excused
Just excused
FatherFather
It took you so long to come back
I don't care
This time you must stay for more days
Silly girl
This time
We'll stay no matter how many days you want us to stay
Well
Jialuo
Tell the servants in kitchen
to prepare
some nice dishes and drinks
We seldom gather together like this
I want to chat with you
Quick
Yes, I'll go now
Dad
You suddenly call us back
and send Jialuo away
Is something serious happened
You come with me
to discuss in study room
Recently the situation in the court is quite critical
You seldom stay in the capital
So I call you back
because of some important things
to tell you
I'm old
I'm afraid I don't have much time
I worry that there will be a change in the court suddenly
until you're too late reaction
These are the positions selected for you
Have a look
These are the positions which are far from capital
But actually you can hold authority
while ensure your safety
With that so
Even if there is a change in the court
You can afford time to react
Father is still young and healthy
Why suddenly say something unpleasant
That's right, dad
I'm clear about my healthy
Since we're a family
You don't have to stand on ceremony
and comfort me
These positions of governors are far in border area
Dad
Anyway we're generations of Empress
We don't have to be too cautious
Because of we're generations of Empress
At every moment
We've to be cautious
Don't forget
We're in troubled time
Within ten years
Three emperors have succeeded the throne
Father is right
Regarding the transfer of official post
Tomorrow when you go to palace
and meet with Bore
Your Majesty will summon to court for sure
At that time
Using the excuse that governor of Qi, Gao Zhao is sick
and worry that there will be a chaos in border
So you ask for a transfer
I think Your Majesty will agree with it
Yes
After receiving decree
Leave the capital immediately
Yes
Dad
But Fengzhou is so far
After leaving
We can't pay a visit to you
for quite a while
A great man should have great ambition
Why should you protect an old man like me
During new year
You can come back and visit me
Are sisters realize your arrangement
Bore is pregnant
We can't bother her
Mantuo has married to Longxi
There is no different whether she knows or not
And Jialuo
I'll talk to her
Your Majesty, please allow our request
Why are you here
Excused and stand to talk
Well
Since dad insists
I'll agree with that
Just agree like that
After leaving
You must take care of yourself
Yes, Father
Jialuo
When we're not around
You must take good care of Father
Don't worry
Brother
You should make great efforts
to born few more nephews with sister-in-law
ok
Well
You may leave now
We're leaving now
Dad
Are you ok
What's wrong with Dugu Xin
Unexpectedly he sent away his five sons
It seems like
making arrangements for a funeral
In my opinion
He's timid
After all Your Majesty
an intractable person
Although for Your Empress's sake
Prime Minister will not let it go for sure
But if I was him
I'll not put all eggs
in the same basket
Imperial Tutor, your letter
You still remember what I said
I've told you
Even if you give Yuwen Yu a way out
He'll not be grateful at all
Now it seems to turn this way
I've planted agent at Yuchi Kang's place
This is the tip-off
Yuwen Yu has passed down secret imperial decree
At this moment
There are thousands of soldiers
ambushingaround your former residence
When you're going for worship
They'll take action
How dare these sucking children
play a fool at me
Gesu
You must have fanned the flames
Right?
You're too
leniency towards Your Empress
Without the flames
No matter how I fan
The flames will not be burned
Does Bore know about this
Your Empress should know nothing about this
Since she's pregnant
Either Empress or Dugu Xin
has advised Yuwen Yu
ButI don't care about others
As long as Bore never betrays me
Brother
Why do you wish to kill me
Yu, what's wrong
I think I have a nightmare
What's wrong with you recently
You seem absent-minded
Nothing
I'm just
worrying about you and baby
Don't worry
Baby and I will be fine
Bore
I met with an eminent monk
called Monk Qingmu
I heard that under Taoistabbey
joss stick is still the best
So I think
Day after tomorrow
You go to Qingmu Temple
to conduct ritual for both of us and the baby
You've an accident in the temple
This time
Let's ask for help from Taoistpriest
Alright?
Alright
I'll listen to you
Today the weather is quite good
If you've the mood
Just walk around
No need to rush back
Chunsi
Take good care of Empress
Yes
Mount on the carriage
Depart
Your Majesty
You're sending Empress away from palace
What if
They met with Yuwen Hu
What should we do
I'm just worried
In palace
What if Empress was frightened
and risk a carriage
You've also said that
this plan is flawless
If that so
Isn't that Empress
will be safer at outside of palace
Yes
When does Yuwen Hu go out
Nothing happens at the moment
I've asked the former servants from Mansion of Imperial Tutor
They said at this time of the year
Yuwen Hu will depart at noon
and reach former residence in Chengnan at 12:45pm
How's the preparation
The military forces are ready
Just waiting for summon from Your Majesty
Do it
Greetings Imperial Tutor
GeneralGeneral
It's bad
We fell into an ambush
Quickly retreat
Gesu
Tell me, how many military forces I should spend
Brother Shenmao
Unexpectedly you're a spy
Kill him
Brother
No
Quickly chase
Return to Mansion of Imperial Tutor now
Gesu
Go to palace
and keep an eye on Yuwen Yu
Yes
The rests follow me
MasterMaster
It's bad
Master, what's going on
Someone is using our banner
saying that Yuwen Hu rises in rebellion
They're going on expedition after your order
Let's go and see now
Prime Minister, big things are bad
What's going on
Report to Prime Minister
Just now Yuchi Kang
arrested Imperial Tutor's children and left the capital
According to him, Imperial Tutor rises a rebellion
and imprisons Your Majesty
So he was ordered by you to go to Wuliu Camp
You let them go
Yes
Yuchi Kang said Your Majesty and Empress
have fallen into enemy's hands
But today Empress has left the capital to temple
After that
Imperial Tutor went out of town along with troops
I rushed there
and saw two groups of troops
were in a fight
It seemed that
How is it, tell me
Imperial Tutor's prince was killed by Yuchi Kang
Oh no
Dad
Will Yuwen Hu think
Yuchi kang working under us
Pass down the order immediately
Transfer all officers from Mansion of Dugu
to go to palace with me to protect Your Majesty
Yes
Dad
I'll bring along with Qiji Troop
Don’t add to the disarray
At the best Qiji Troop
can only protect Mansion of Dugu
After that
I'm afraid it's getting difficult to explain
Let's go now
Your Majesty, this way
Chase
Your Majesty
That way
Protect Your Majesty
Come, protect Your Majesty
Protect Your Majesty
Father-in-law
Father-in-law, finally you're here
Pardon me for being late
Not late
Your Majesty, where is my sister
I've sent her away from palace since the beginning
She's safe now
Don't worry
Father-in-law
What should we do
Your Majesty
Is this your plan
Yes
I
I afraid that Yuwen Hu will kill me
So
I
Father-in-law, well
Is this the result you wish
Of course no, but
But
I don't want to become
a figurehead emperor anymore
Jialuo
Dad
This time Your Majesty has pushed us
towards pile of firewood
A bloody battle is inevitable
Are you scared
I'm not scared
As long as getting along with Dad
I'm not scared at all
Alright
Protect Your Majesty
Retreat from Ziji Palace
Dugu Xin
Yuchi Kang is died
If you're sensible
Lay down your arms immediately
and hand over Yuwen Yu
For Bore's sake
I can still spare your life
This mishap
is risen by Yuchi Kang
It's unrelated to
Your Majesty and I
If I wish to fight with you
Why should I move only few soldiers
Unrelated to him?
What about
this gold medal which conveys
immediacy of an emperor
It's stolen by Yuchi Kang
Imperial Tutor
As an officer
Your Majesty is king
You bring along with troops
and force Your Majesty to abdicate
This is a serious crime
An ashamed sin
Stop talking rubbish
I only know that
My son is died
I want Yuwen Yu to be buried with him
Yuwen Hu
As long as I'm still alive
Don't try to hurt Your Majesty
Alright
Then we'll test on the swords
Listen here
Kill them
Each person
will be awarded with 10 dollars
Kill
Stop
Yong
Imperial Tutor
I've a piece of advice for you
What position you are in to advise me
That day you saved me
So today I risked my life to come here
and repay you for saving my life
Saving your life
Exactly
Imperial Tutor
You're having a strong military force
Prime Minister can't fight against you
Within fifteen minutes
Your Majesty will die under your sword
Then
You can revenge for your son
How about after that
Yes
You can stand on your feet
But everyone in this capital will know about this matter
Could it be you wish to
substantiate the rebel
Don't forget
You still have many political opponents
Don't forget that Kingdom Qi and Kingdom Liang
are looking at fiercely as a tiger does
Remember
The pregnant Empress is still outside of the capital
When either two of the parties
among the three team up
They can expedite on rebels
with the baby of Empress
to revenge for Your Majesty
Brother Hu
I know you've great ambition
But now is not a suitable time to strive for position
In fact that matter
is really risen by Yuchi Kang
It's unrelated to Prime Minister and Your Majesty
If you could make a concession
I'll start with mediation
by persuading Your Majesty to announce to people
in order to purge you of a charge
I'll also ask Prime Minister to lay down his arm
and grant his military force
Then Min will just waste his life
Don't worry
I'll definitely clear this matter up
As long as you let it go now
I'll talk to Your Majesty
to abdicate the throne to you within one year
Isn't this much better than a bit of wins
Master
The throne is a piece of cake now
Don't listen to him
Brother Hu
If you attack now
After Your Majesty dies
Prime Minister and Jialuo will die at their posts
Do you think Empress
will forgive a murderer who kills her father, sister
and husband
Alright
You've time for a column of incense
Your Majesty
Prime Minister Dugu will make decision
on all matters
Prime Minister
I know this is a bad idea
But this is the only way
Someone told you about this idea
or you think on your own
It's me
I don't want
Jialuo to die here
Alright
Tell Yuwen Hu
I agree with this condition
Dad
What did Yong tell you
Nothing
Just a deal
A deal for Yuwen Hu to retreat
He really agreed with it
If you don't believe
You may go and ask him
Dad
Prime Minister can let it go
At this stage
He has to let go
Don't worry
There must be an explanation within half of a month
Alright
Your Majesty has agreed
On next New Year
There will be an abdication ceremony
But you must retreat immediately
and swear mightily that
you'll let bygones be bygones
and protect Your Majesty and his family
throughout their lives
Alright
I, Yuwen Hu swear on the name of my deceased mother
If I broke the deal
My mother will burn in hell for eternity
I'll also be killed by the rebels
Retreat
Dad
DadPrime Minister
Prime MinisterDad
What's wrong with youFather-in-law
Your Majesty
I'm useless
I can only get another year for Your Majesty
It's enough
After one year
I’ll abdicate the throne to him
Your Majesty
I wish in future
You can take good care of Bore and her kid
Don't do
I'll certainly do it
Prime Minister
Do you still need me
Thank you
This is a matter of Family Dugu
Let me settle it
Dad
Doctor
Obviously Dad looks good
Why suddenly…
It's not a sudden
Few months ago
I've told Prime Minister frankly
He has severe lung inflammatory
I'm afraid he can't live until next spring
Those who are infected by lung-heat disease
must rest more and do not exhausted
But this time
He's breaking up after out and about
XizhiXizhi
Why don't you tell me earlier
Prime Minister forbids me to tell anyone
3rd Missy
Prime Minister has just taken medicine
He needs rest
I'm leaving now
Dad
Dad, you're up
Girl
Don't be sad
I'm fine
Quickly prepare pen and ink for Dad
I'd like to write a letter
Dad
You better rest first
Quick
Yuwen Yu, you…
Just beat me
Bore
I'm wrong
You can beat me
or scold me
I'll accept it
How humble
Dad
Enough
Don't cry anymore
You're becoming a mother soon
Dad
I'm so regret
I shouldn't get my own way
If I didn't get along with Yuwen Hu
or married with Yuwen Yu
Then I won't implicate you
