Your majesty. Where is Zhong Da?
Yan Ling Duke has surrounded Luo Yang with armies
They can't get out of the city now
How dare him!
Zhong Da
asks me to bring back this
The Imperial Seal of the King
Father
Madam, bring the doctor here
Let Mrs Guo take care of her at the palace
Help carrying her
Your majesty please crown yourself immediately. This country can't allow to have no King now
Yes you should crown yourself immediately your majesty
You will be easy to crown yourself
but without the edict of the King
We can't do this in this way
Please reconsider your majesty
This country needs a King
Pedantries
The King passed away and the whole country is shaken
Sun, Liu are staring at Jing Chu
The court is not peaceful inside either
When the edict is here the country will be shaken apart already. It will be too late to regret it then
Your majesty
Please consider for this country
Crown yourself early and show the forces towards other lords
All quiet
If I don't wait for father's funerals
If I don't wait for the edict of the King
You want me to crown myself at this time
You will make me disloyal and unfilial to my father
This is what they want
If Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang are at Luo Yang
They can attack me using the name of disloyalties and unfilial
Chen Qun and Wu Zhi
Secure the city with 50,000 troops
Come with me to make my condolence to father
Yes
Your majesty
My sister in law risks her life sending back the seal and my brother's life is still uncertain
all these are for you to crowning yourself
If you hesitate now because of the traditions and manners then this country will be in danger
Who dare to disobey my order?
Sister
You finally wake up
Why you suffer from coldness for this long? - How long have I slept?
Has the crown prince became the King?
The King just died and the coffin is still out there
The crown prince can't ascend the throne yet
Luo Yang is in chaos now
Zhong Da risked his life to send me out
He must crown himself now
Otherwise he will be dead
You take some medicine first. I will check at the court
What do you want to say?
Your majesty
You and my brother in law have been through a lot together
Do you know what he means by sending back the seal?
If I don't follow the tradition and crown myself in a hurry
It means I'm afraid of them
I will leave any chance for anyone to denounce me
I will suppress the rebellion with righteousness
You want to attack Luo Yang?
They choose this on their own
What about my brother in law?
He got trapped at Luo Yang
Cao Zhang might kill him if you raise against him
Harem shouldn't intervene with the politics
Why do you come back since you are able to escape?
The seal is sent out
I'm in charge of the funeral
I need to company you
There is nothing you can do coming back
It means something
We are both in prison now
All the courtiers are under arrest too
This means Yan Ling Duke
he dare not to take the crown now
What's more
The family of 400,000 troops
are not in Luo Yang
Who dare to rebel with him?
I only hope the prince can ascend to the throne as soon as possible
Under the name of the King
Comfort the troops
This country
can't afford a internal war again
What I worry most is the crown prince
He suffered a lot
He can't make judgement based on emotion this time
Does the prince agree to ascend to the throne?
He refused to disobey the traditions and manners
He wants to suppress the rebellion under the name of crown prince
Sister
The position of the crown prince is not stable these few years
He suffered a lot on this
He cared so much about this name on history
If he decides to send out the army
Cao Zhang will kill Zhong Da for sure
What he wants is just a name
I will give this name to him
Let's find the empress
You mean...
Let the empress write a booklet to make the prince ascend to the throne
Yes, this will give him the right name then
Let our brother come together
Empress
The existence of this country will rely on you now
The enemies are lurking around the order too
Can you stand the King's country destroyed overnight?
Zhanger and Zhier
are also my sons
That's why you need to do this quickly
Let the crown prince enlist Luo Yang as a King
The two princes might step down because of this
If later those two princes raise against the crown prince officially
Not to mention the country will be shaken even the life of your three sons will be threaten
Can you stand to see them killing each other?
You want to save your brother
I also want to save my sons
I call them back right now
How would they survive in this capital?
How do we come to this?
Empress
The prince will not be someone like that
Although he suffered a lot all these years and held some grudges
he wants to be a true King
He cared about how the history describing him
Therefore he wouldn't kill two princes for sure
Only you can save this country now
Let the crown prince becomes the King
Please make the edict for prince to become the King Empress
The position of the crown prince
The King wanted Ping Yuan Duke on this position the most
You all realized this
The King left an edict before he died
Left the crown to the forth son Cao Zhi
We will crown Zi Jian tomorrow here
The last word of the King were recorded by Si Ma Yi
Where is Si Ma Yi?
We already have a crown prince
How can a duke become the King?
Forget it
I'm afraid your blood might make my court dirty
Guards, dismember him with knife
Brother you shouldn't do this. - You traitor!
Who dare to question the edict of my father?
Counsellor Cheng
You want to go against me too?
Yan Ling Duke I had to say something today
I am 15 years older than the King
Old King never pointed me with a knife before
When the King died there is Commissioner Jia
Si Ma Yi
and me
These two courtiers are not here today. Let me say something fairly
All the courtiers are at present when the King died
There is no mention of changing the crown prince
The King loved Ping Yuan Duke most
You don't know about this for following the King all these years?
You have no place to say anything here
It's one thing he loved Zi Jian
but ruling the country is a different thing
When the King is still here he won't hurt the country out of personal favors
You two think that you have armies then you can separate this country
Aren't you afraid the soul of the King?
Aren't you afraid that Sun and Liu will attack us when we fight each other?
I have followed him for twenty years
We fought hard to achieve what we have today
The country is here all because of us
I don't want to see this country following the path of Yuan Shao
If you two really want to do this
then kill me
I'm eighty years old already
I don't want to see a chaotic world anymore
Old man you think I dare not to kill you?
Let me use your blood
to decorate the palace today
Brother you can't kill more people
Duke, brother
He has reputation in the army. You might cause trouble killing him
You shouldn't
I will spare your life today
I will kill Jia Kui and Si Ma Yi tomorrow
then we will ascend Ping Yuan Duke to the throne
I don't believe that with 400,000 troops at Luo Yang
I can't build up a country here
All the troops are ready please give out the order
Let's march out
The situation at Luo Yang is unclear now. You shouldn't go with your responsibilities
Who dare to stop me now? I will receive the coffin of my father in person
Empress is here
Mother
The King passed away
This country has no leader now
I can't avoid this at such dangerous situation
The King already made Cao Pi as the crown prince
Please ascend to the throne to comfort the people in this country
I don't want to bear the name of disloyalties and unfilial
Taking the throne under father's order is loyalty
Obeying the wish of mother is filial
Please be our King now prince
Please consider for the country and the people
I will
follow mother's order
Zi Huan
Your little brothers are not themselves
Please consider for me and your father
This depends on whether Jia Kui and Si Ma Yi are alive
If Zi Jian really do something wrong
I can't ignore the principle and laws just because they are family
Si Ma Fu
I'm here
Draft the edict
Send the troops to Luo Yang
Yes
It's you. Why are you so quiet?
I suddenly remember
I go and find second brother years ago
He pointed the sword at me like this too
Many years have passed
I still don't get it
You really don't know anything
Otherwise you will not lose the position of the crown prince that should have belonged to you
You are right
Without you
even I return to the capital
He will not let me live for sure
It's good you understand this
Your second brother pretend to be like a family
He is suspicious and mean inside
He suffered a lot these years
You expect him to be closed to us?
We occupy Luo Yang now
With 400,000 troops
He only has fifty to sixty thousand troops at the capital
Even we can't get the capital
we can also fight against him here
We will win for sure
We can reach out to the south easily in future. It's much better than him staying in the north
I knew nothing about military
The military affairs
will rely on you in the future
We are brothers
I will let second brother bully you anymore
Let's drink together
Since the death of our father I'm confused and couldn't sleep all nights
Let's celebrate our reunion and wish for tomorrow's ceremony successful
You can't have a day without any drink can you
OK then
For the reunion of us
Let me congratulate you on ascending the throne tomorrow
Sit
Someone serves the wine here
Brother
Brother asks me to take out these two people for further interrogation
He will give them one more chance before they die
Open the door. - Why the general is not here then?
There are a plenty of things need to be prepared tomorrow for my brother
How can he take care of this kind of affairs in person?
This is the token of my brother
Tomorrow
I will be the King
You want to stop me?
I dare not
All of you can leave now. I need to interrogate them myself alone
You are afraid I can't handle these two men?
I'm this useless?
How are your wounds?
It's just some wounds on the skin. It's nothing
What you did here is
interrogate me and the commissioner?
I have disappointed the father a lot
but I dare not to become a traitor of this country
My token here can send out one person out of the city
You can report the situation here to my second brother
Let him ascend to the throne immediately
Thank you on behalf of the crown prince for all these
You need to hurry. Send out the commissioner as soon as possible
You are younger and you are closed to the crown prince
You should leave. We don't need to fight for this
I can leave five days ago but I didn't. You are an important courtier to this country
Your reputation is higher than me. The country is in danger
We need you to earn trust among the courtiers
Commissioner, the affair of this country is more important
What should I tell the crown prince if you stay?
He will understand
Please don't hesitate and sned out the commissioner now
What about you? - I just need a clean clothes
Please rest here. I will prepare some meals for you
Thank you. - Let's leave
Who are you?
The Yan Ling Duke gave the order
No one can exit the city
I'm Ping Yuan Duke
This is the messenger to the capital
How can you prove that?
This is the token of duke
One token only allow one person to leave the city
Ridiculous
I"m the King when the dawn breaks
Why would I leave?
Open the gate
Open the gate!
Messenger
Ride safely
Put the wine in the palace
Close brothers travel and play with me
The cook prepare delicious meals
Killing the sheep and cows
The music is loud and pleasant
It's sound is soft and harmony
The master toast to the guest
And the guest toast back
How is your wound? Can you drink?
I can survive this. I don't care about the wounds
But I'm not talented on poems
I know you like drinking
I can drink with you
Only the wine can ease our worries
Let's toast to this unusual night
Toast to you
Zhong Da
I sometimes envy you
I'm still in prison if you don't help
How can you envy me?
What I envy about
is you can control your heart
I envy you and my brother
can treasure and know each other
My second brother taught me how to fight and read
This is a brotherhood we should have
But after you met second brother and I met Yang Xiu
We went to a separate ways since then
I have many brothers too
We support each other from childhood
Deputy commander
You are him are true brothers and families
You two will become close again
It's impossible. You know him better than me
The heart of people is like a jade
Once it's broken
It's not the same piece if you glue them together
No way it can go back to what it was
When I choose to fight against him
I expect something like this already
Zhong Da
You must be laughing at me inside
In my opinion
There are a plenty of wonderful things on this world
They are worth fighting for than the power
Your articles and poems
Even a thousand years has passed
It will be master pieces to the people of the world
Let me toast to you on this
Like the dew in the morning the past days go too fast
The fate is cruel to us
Meets the duke
My lord?
Who is it?
Do you release Si Ma Yi and Jia Kui?
When did I do that?
Ping Yuan Duke took two person out of prison last night
Someone left the city with your token
Where did they get the token if it's not your order?
Token?
Cao Zhi you idiot
You lead a squad to chase the person. If you also find Cao Zhi... - Kill him too
You can't kill him
That's my own brother
This country is yours. Whoever stops you will die
You should be generous
You can't forget the sorrow either
What to solve this sorrow
Only this wine
You are here
Where is my token?
Token?
It's gone now
You ruin my plans!
You stay here?
I can not leave here
If I don't leave
You will kill me
If you kill me then all the courtiers are angry
If the courtiers are angry you have no one to build up a country
Good then I will give you what you want
Not everyone is willing to die like you
Tie them up
Tie me up again?
Come on and tie me up
Ping Yuan Duke is your own brother
I of course know he is my brother
Even Ding Yi betray you
You are still drinking like this
I will use Si Ma Yi's head to wake you up
Take him away
It's alright Zhong Da. I will be there with you
Zi Jian you want to commit a rebellion?
I don't want to rebel to this country but to the son that is unfilial and disloyal
This edict from the King let us escort Si Ma Yi and Jia Kui
together with the coffin of our old King back to the capital
The King just died and the coffin is still here. There is no new King
The crown prince becomes the King under the edict of the empress
The edict said whoever use the army is considered rebellion
If you can surrender then there will be no charges
Whoever opens the gate will be rewarded with a thousand golds
Whoever captures Cao Zhang will become Bai Hu
Whoever retreats will beheaded
Your mother orders you to go home
Don't exclude you out of your family
You want to ignore the wish of my father?
My father never wants to set him as the crown prince
He was forced to do so by those courtiers
Your father's wish is to unite this nation not to let your brothers fighting against each other
What a pity
I can't drink with you anymore
Thank you for letting me drink before I die
We should have
drunk more wine
Please come into the city general
Enter the city
The time comes
What are we waiting for? Kill them
The edict from the King: Release Si Ma Yi
Father
Shier
How is the situation in Luo Yang? The general Xia Hou Dun entered the city
The troops in Luo Yang obey the King's order
The god is on our side
Shier
You look marvellous
Uncle
The crown prince ascend to the throne
Luo Yang is safe
All thanks to you
General
The coffin of the old King
is in the hall now
The King comes to the court
Kneel
Long live the King
Stand up
The old King rebelled
It has been 31 years
We fought hard to begin this country
I inherit from my father
It's not my credit to build all these
It's all your credits
The nation is still divided
I will unite it with all of you
Speak it out load
I know I will die I don't need to beg you
You brothers fight each other. Never needs my words
