The Plough Department Of Song Dynasty
Episode 17
Slow down.
It's okay.
I'm fine.
Ow, that hurts.
Look at you.
My uncles are the strongest men
in the imperial guard troop.
You don't have to put on a brave face for me,
how does this feel?
I really wanted to see you,
but they didn't allow it.
So I had to get it over with.
Why you wanted to see me?
Well,
I'm so sorry
for the things I said before.
But you know,
it didn't mean anything.
I was just so bold
in many ways.
Yaoguang,
would you stop blaming me?
All right.
Now you've made your apoplogy
I accept your apology.
Just go back.
Yaoguang.
What?
I have something else to tell you.
What are you gonna tell me now?
I have a crush on you.
Yaoguang,
I...
love you.
Cut it out.
The one you fell for
is Kaiyang.
In the past
I thought she was the right one for me.
But now
I know exactly,
you are
my true love.
I thought I disliked
or even hated you.
But my heart was empty
when you left this time.
No matter how hard I tried,
the feeling of my empty heart
always sucks.
Silly.
But I understand now,
you own the position
of my heart.
If you can come back,
my heart will not
feel empty anymore.
Yaoguang,
would you please come back?
I will take care of you in the future.
The Plough department?
Sure I'll go back.
Do you assume I will never return to work
just because I was mad at you?
No
I don't mean the department.
I hope you'd
come back to me.
I don't like you.
You still won't forgive me?
It's you who are immortal not me.
I cannot imagine how many ladies
you gonna marry after my death.
I wouldn't have the right to marry someone else,
if you passed away?
How jealousy you are!
Yes.
I'm the jealousy type.
It's me or nothing.
Yes, I do.
Bastard!
What's wrong with Yaoguang?
I believe he will be a good son-in-law.
Really?
Bro,
it's a rare thing to see a boy courting her.
So don't be picky.
Wha... what are you talking about?
You mean it's hard for my daughter to get a husband?
She has a quick temper
and violent.
Only the tough guy can be her husband
to tolerate all the things.
He seems durable.
Such a perfect couple!
Sugar
Have you forgiven me?
Why you ask so many details?
Sugar
Sugar? Shifu?
How dare you!
You said you were lisping
when I asked you to call me Shifu
What is Sugar?
Are you a liar?
Sugar,
you just find out?
My silly girl.
No way.
You dumber.
I... I'm sorry.
Are you alright?
It's okay.
Just a few bruises.
A few?
Look at you.
That's not just a few.
No.
Well,
Let's go see DongMing
to have a thorough examination of your body.
Let's go.
Take it easy.
It hurts.
That much?
Be careful.
Brother Meng.
You came.
It will be done after modifying a bit.
and I also add my own design into it.
Do you think it fits?
If you modify in this way,
the colour will become gorgeous,
the burning pattern will get meaningful.
You draw it first.
Have some tea.
In the view of those scholar-bureaucrats,
my craft of such drawing
is very quite usual and weird.
I'm surprised
the Plough Department would regards with great value
I feel flattered and overwhelmed.
Brother Meng,
you should do the same as me,
if you join the Plough Department.
You will be mainly in charge of making
weapons and enginery for the Plough Department.
At that time,
I'll need your help in many things.
You're
always so modest.
Actually on the field of building the mechaism,
you are stronger than me in many aspects.
I will have to consult you on that.
See?
I have told you we don't need to tell Dongming.
You see that I can recover quickly.
It's so quick to recover such wound.
Why you moan
about my recovering well.
Yep......
I want to be imotional a little longer.
Look at you!
How can I be touched!
Women
always so complicated.
Well, look!
Sit there,
I will show you some magic.
What magic?
Just sit.
Here, it's for you.
I don't want it!
You're so strange.
Isn't that your favorite thing before?
Why you suddenly don't want it now?
You gave it to sister Kai Yang before!
I don't want it.
Do you have any sincerity?
If you want to give me a gift,
you should make something unique!
But....
I've made all types I know
to sister Kai Yang before.
You're really generous in this way!
I don't want it anymore!
I have an idea!
See?
What's this?
I created it myself.
Full new flying side by side grasshoppers.
Flying side by side grasshoppers?
You can call butterflies or mandarin-ducks
are flying side by side.
This can't be called...
How can you call butterflies or mandarin-ducks flying side by side?
The Classic of Mountains and Seas writes
Both the male inseparable birds and the female only has one eye and one wing.
Only flying wing to wing, they just can take off.
So,
this is the real flying side by side.
Speaking of the Classic of Mountains and Seas,
I remember it also says,
Flying side by side birds look like ducks!
Can you make up a duck for me?
Can't make it right?
Yaoguang
Don't you think we are a pretty and elegant couple?
Don't compare us to those riverside ducks.
So you mean,
we are like two grasshoppers?
If you really don't like it,
I will throw it then.
You have already given it to me,
you have no rights to get it back.
You like it, right?
Brother Meng,
I have to go first,
It must be done very soon
if we do it together tomorrow.
OKay.
I will wait for you tomorrow
What's the matter?
Why do you cough worse than before?
Brother Meng,
it's all my fault!
Knowing your body is very weak,
I still bothered you for so long today.
It has been like this since many years ago,
Has nothing to do with you.
No.
I'll take you to see senior Dongming
Let him treat you
It's useless.
Don't bother him.
No!
You must listen to me this time.
Just regards that as my demand.
Okay?
Alright.
Mr. Dongming
How is Meng?
I'm fine.
Your sickness is inborn.
You can only recuperate.
It couldn't be eradicated.
You are perfectly right.
I am sickly since I was born.
My parents had also taken me to see famous doctors.
They also drew the same conlusion after diagnosing.
Here.
I prescribed some medicine to relieve cough and asthma.
It may alleviate the pain that comes with cough
there's some to be taken
to improve your condition.
Thank you so much.
You are welcome.
There's something
that I want to tell you.
The sickness you get
will consume you gradually year by year
I'm afraid that you cannot live a long life.
Take good care of yourself.
Let it be.
Young man.
Rarely so open-minded.
Mr. Dongming always
plans for the worst.
So some of his words seem grave.
Never mind.
As long as you take the medicine well according to the prescription.
you'll be allright.
Don't worry too much.
Actually, I myself do not think
longevity is important for me.
what's important is that to pass through this world not in vain.
It is my blessing
to be able to meet you.
Bye.
Meng Dong.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Bye.
Let's go.
Sit down.
You want to ask about Meng Dong's condition.
If he could take medicine strictly according to my prescription.
It should be no problem to live for another ten years.
Ten years?
This is already the best outcome.
You like him?
No.
When did you meet?
Not too long.
I came to Tradesman Street to order parts.
Craftsman could not do it.
So they recommend him to me
Then I found that
he is pretty dexterous and skillful
I intended to recommend him to you to join our department.
I see.
Those whom the Gods love die young.
What a pity.
Sir.
I think the world is big
and full of capable men.
Chances are that
Someday someone can cure his illness.
Hope so.
About hiring him
to our Plough Department
I'll send someone to investigate
Once verified no problem.
He could formally join our Plough Department.
Thanks a lot.
May I excuse myself.
My love
I'm feel so sorry for you.
Your Crowning Ceremony
can noly be held
inside this palace
in the hush of the night.
What I want is to be your wife
How should I feel wronged?
Even if there's no officals' celeberation
we still have our firworks.
There's countless skillful craftsman in Plough Department
Recently they said,
they were going to make an unprecedented firworks display.
I'm looking forward to that.
Instead of watching the glum face of officials.
I'd rather watching beatiful fireworks like my love!
Eventually it's completed.
So looking forward to see its booming.
You can see it
this evenning.
It's a pity that you cannot enter the palace.
Or we can watch it together.
But that's not difficult, neither.
We could make another one later
and play it for us only.
Eunuch Lin, come in, please!
This is it!
It's a fine present for the Empress.
We have to be careful.
Yes, eunuch.
Bye.
Dong Ming.
I've looked into Meng Dong.
Though he has a shop in Craftsman street,
but he doesn't make a living by that.
That's just his hobby.
I asked all the craftsmen in taht street.
No one knows his background.
But I did a background check on him.
His previous address and household registration were all faked.
But who am I?
I am Yin Guang.
Who can escape from my sight?
After my very detailed analysis,
and my very thorough investigation,
from the slightest trace...
Get to the point.
He is from Xiangyang.
That's all I know.
From Xiangyang?
I remember that,
That God-artisan Yan Zheng was also from Xiangyang.
He has a grandson.
Should be around Meng Dong 's age.
So you mean...
Go to Yan's mansion right now,
find a servant who stays at Yan Zheng's mansion in Capital Liang.
No problem!
Yan Zheng!
Meng Dong!
The fireworks were so exquisitely made.
You must have put a lot of thought into it.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your consideration.
Your highness.
Not only were the fireworks beautiful,
but they were also mysterious.
Tell me about it.
Your highness,
When the fireworks explode,
there are thirteen scenes
and fourteen patterns.
They symbolize good marriage in the heaven
and on the earth.
Always live together forever.
This little thing is so beautiful.
Very good!
Kaiyang.
You have made the fireworks.
You should be hosting the fireworks tonight.
Thank you for your grace, your highness.
Dong Ming!
I invited the servant staying at Yan Zheng's mansion for you.
My lord.
What can I do for you?
Old man.
Come and have a look, please.
Do you recognize this man?
He... He... He's our Young master.
My lord.
What's the matter with him?
all is well.
Take this old man to rest first.
Meng Dong is really Yan Zheng's grandson.
He is good at making things.
His level of making things,
even Kaiyang speaks highly of that.
Besides, I've treated him before,
He was weak from childhood and was suffering from a terminal illness.
Before,
An old friend of mine who knew the knowledge of medicine told me,
He and many of famous doctors in Langjing
had been invited by Yan Zheng,
to treat his grandson.
If we connect these two things!?
The thing is, it was our plough department that killed Yan Zheng.
His grandson approached to Kaiyang deliberately
must be up to something.
Go ahead!
Get him under control first.
Try not to make widely known.
Avoid being known by Kai Yang.
Don't worry.
Leave it to me.
I'll be very careful.
Ox horn!
Selling Ox horn!
Ox horn!
Is anybody there?
I have an order to make.
Childe.
You are looking for Meng Dong, aren't you?
Isn't he here?
Does he still doing business?
Whether he does business or not depends on his mood.
I saw him closed the door and left two hours ago.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Ox horn!
Closed?
Could it be because he knew something,
And run away?
Dongming.
In the palace tonight, it is said that
there will be a ceremony to confer the queen.
Can we enter the palace to join in the fun?
Impudence!
A ceremony to confer the queen
is not like some ordinary wedding.
What are you gonna do in there?
You see,
I've told you.
Dongming will not permit it.
Dongming.
Just let us go, please.
In fact, we're not going to participate in the ceremony.
Actually, we wanna see
the fireworks designed by sister Kaiyang.
It's said to be very gorgerous!
That's true, Dongming.
Sister Kaiyang also said
into the fireworks,
she put a lot of thought.
She also asked brother Meng Dong to cooperate with her.
The fireworks were cleverly designed.
Meng Dong?
Was he invited to design the fireworks?
Predecessor,
So you also know brother Meng Dong?
Shit.
In recent years,
I'm sorry to make you suffer.
Your majesty, you have been very kind to me,
have given me great grace.
I did not suffer.
Your majesty.
Guru Demiao ask for a meeting.
Dongming
Dongming!
Yinguang.
Where is Dongming?
The defender minister took Taisui
and Yaoguang to the palace with him.
To...
To the palace?
Yes.
When did he leave?
Just now.
Tell Wenqu,
enter the palace immediately.
Okay!
Greetings, your majesty.
Greetings, your highness.
Guru Demiao, why are you here?
When I was sitting in meditation,
inspired by Ziwei Star suddenly.
Then the I came with the order of Nature
to celebrate the empress coronation for his majesty.
Having guru Demiao prays for us
couldn't be better.
His majesty,
empress coronation is the imperial ceremony.
It's okay without the witness of all the officials,
but to be presided over by guru Demiao
may not be in line with the guideline.
I think it's improper.
As an empress coronation,
only a few people here.
It's a little shabby.
Luckily, we have guru Demiao,
who will pray to harvest for us,
and it can be kind of a compensation.
Pity my hundreds of officials in Song destiny
are all in poor eyesight.
They did't understand what I mean;
did't understand my heart;
did't realize how virtuous my wife is.
Then let all the Gods and the Buddhas
to make a witness for us.
The empress coronation
is a disgrace!
Disgrace!
To our strongest oppose!
Strongest oppose!
Shall die with no hesitate!
The empress coronation
is a disgrace!
Disgrace!
To our strongest oppose!
Strongest oppose!
Shall die with no hesitate!
An empress of one country,
a motherly model of the nation.
It's a national affair,
Why could the emperor make the decesion by his own account?
To be the master of Six Palaces,
the empress,
making the coronation in midnight quietly and unexpectedly.
This... This will be mocked by the whole world!
We ministers get paid by the court,
it's the time
for us to fight for the court.
Shall die with no hesitate!
Your majesty,
the ministers heard his majesty
will hold the empress coronation in Zichen Palace.
They gathered outside the Meridian Gate,
wanting to rush into the palace to see his majesty.
Those...
Those ministers are so impudent,
How dare they to be so disrespect to his majesty?
Call all the imperial bodyguards together,
stop them!
Yes, your majesty.
Hold on!
Only blocked them,
do not hurt the ministers.
Yes, your majesty.
Shall die with no hesitate!
Your majesty,
It's the auspicious time
for starting the empress coronation.
I'll make the announcement in person.
Receive the imperial edit, consort Shu.
The emperor holds Heaven and Earth,
living as people's parents.
unifying the universe,
harmonizing the whole world.
So I should carefully choose my good wife,
as my assistant.
Mrs. Liu as the Consort Shu,
gentle and virtuous,
quiet and respectful.
has the beauty of peace and integrity,
being the model of good etiquette.
She should be in charge of the Harem,
and make a motherly model of the nation.
The empress seal shall be granted
you're named to be the empress.
Thank you, your majesty.
My empress, please.
Let the three of us
light the happy fireworks.
Wait a moment!
Your majesty!
Dongming,
are you here to stop the empress coronation?
I dare not.
I'm here to protect you.
I have hundreds of imperial bodyguards in my palace,
there is no need to protect me.
Your majesty,
The fireworks,
I'm afraid there's something wrong with it.
What do you mean?
These fireworks is made by Kaiyang from the Plough Department.
Kaiyang obeyed his majesty's edict,
has the willing of making brilliant fireworks.
So we found another cilivilian master named Mengdong
and make it together.
But,
I have found out that
actually, Mengdong is
grandson of the apprehended craftsman Yan Zheng
He lived incognito
and appreached the Plough Department.
I afraid there might be something wrong.
Your majesty,
These fireworks must not be lighted.
