The Plough Department Of Song Dynasty
Episode 22
I accidentally found that
people of the Plough Department appeared in the imperial mausoleum.
The Plough Department?
Why were they there?
I have no idea.
But I know one of them,
who has disguised himself as a eunuch
and accompanied the late emperor.
I found there was something wrong,
so I'm here to report it to you.
I see.
Great!
Good job!
Go back now.
Don't make them notice.
How about this case?
I'll send people to investigate it.
Yes.
Isn't it safe to hide in the underground palace?
Who is there?
Something is happening in the palace.
Where did the alarm bell come from?
Your highness,
Someone might have broken into the palace.
I must enter into the palace right now.
Kaiyang,
get prepared,
and support us later.
Yinguang,
take them back safely
from the imperial mausoleum.
No problem!
It is such a good idea.
Who are you?
Stop!
Who are you?
A ghost? Or a human being?
Your highness.
Let's go!
Go!
Hurry up!
You go first!
Your highness,
what are you gonna do?
I have something to do.
Coming soon.
Let's go!
Uncle, let's go!
Be careful, your highness!
How easily did we get into
the imperial mausoleum!
Easily?
The dragon-killing stone is about 3 meters thick,
and it weighs about 50 kilograms.
Once it falls down,
even the smartest grave robber can't break in.
If we want to get in,
the only way is to ask the soldiers to dig it.
Gosh.
That complicated?
Yes.
Where are the empress and Crown Prince?
The undead insect cannot harm me!
This is the only entrance for the burial objects.
After everything is ready,
the dragon-killing stone will fall down,
and this place will be completely closed.
Luckily, we've arrived early.
Let's go.
Soldiers!
We got rebellion in the palace,
and the alarm bell is ringing.
Let's go pacify the rebellion!
Yes!
Wait!
Without the imperial edict,
who dares to move!
Bullshit!
If there is a rebellion.
there won't be any edict!
Without the edict,
who dares to break in!
Aren't you afraid you'll be convicted of treason,
and your whole family will be killed?!
If there is really a rebellion,
and we put down it,
it will be a feat of protecting his majesty,
and that belongs to all of you guys!
If nothing happens,
it will be a capital crime,
If so,
that's is only on me!
Follow you at any cost!
Cao Wei,
how dare you!
I have the Imperial Sword!
Cao Wei,
how dare you!
Cao Wei,
I have the Imperial Sword!
Cao Wei!
Let's go!
Stop!
The stairs are poisonous!
Stop marching!
The golden pillar!
Defense Minister!
Look!
The box is here!
Who are you!
Taisui!
Give the box back,
or I'll blow your head off!
Kid,
stop bullshitting.
Master Doumu!
Really a keen eye.
Since that,
let me send you to the hell!
My lord.
The tower is full of poison.
Do you have any methods to go there?
I'm ready.
Your highness,
leave with Crown Prince and Prince Xian first.
Wait!
She has been poisoned.
Kids,
you are all no match for me!
But,
the imperial mausoleum is a good place
for you to die.
Kill yourself!
No way!
Liu!
Are you okay?
Yinguang!
It's you!
Master Doumu!
You finally showed up!
Yinguang!
Now go!
Let's go!
I'm late to rescue your majesty.
Please punish me!
General Cao,
arise.
You highnesses,
an accident happened in the imperial mausoleum.
I've already sent Yinguang there.
It's safe now.
I must go to the imperial mausoleum now.
I'm going with you.
You are
Miao Qing?
You are truly
the successor taught by me.
By only a few rounds,
you have recognized me.
Lei Yun?
That fucking eunuch?
Are you really Miao Qing?
Back then,
military mutiny happened at Chenqiao,
and the first emperor was enthroned,
apart from Cheng Pu and Zhao Guangyi,
I was
also one of the major planners.
And it was me
who helped found the Song Dynasty.
I was also the founder of the Plough Department,
determined to guard the country regardless of my life.
However, Zhao Guangyi
usurped the throne
by some means that no one ever knew.
All I ever want
is to set things right,
and give the throne back
to the first emperor's offspring.
But you've never witnessed
the "the candlelight and the axe shadow".
It's just your guess!
So what!
The first emperor had his own children,
but Zhao Guangyi became the emperor!
Isn't it right?
But there is one thing I can't figure out.
Since you're serving his majesty in disguise as Lei Yun,
you can murder him anytime you like.
Why you did this till now?
The throne
is supposed to belong to Prince Xian.
If I kill the emperor and give the throne back to him,
then Prince Xian
will be blamed for murdering the emperor and usurping the throne.
How can the offspring
of the first emperor bear such a crime?
So,
I deliberately
sent Guru Demiao to fool his majesty to abdicate the throne
and rewrite the testamentary edict,
so that he can take the throne justifiably.
However,
everything is going as expected,
except...
Except
when you offered the throne to Prince Xian,
he declined.
I know I cannot force him,
but
once the empress and Crown Prince die,
Prince Xian has to take the throne.
This is
what the country should be like!
You're so stubborn.
It doesn't matter who is the emperor.
What matters is the stability
and peace of the country,
and harmonious relationships among imperial members.
Why did you bother to do that?
Shut up!
If you haven't realized your mistakes,
then I'll
send you to the hell!
Let's go!
Leave the edict!
Yaoguang,
send the edict out.
We'll take care of this.
Okay.
Eunuch Lei?
The dragon-killing stone!
I'll never allow the edict to be exposed to the public!
But you will also be trapped here once the stone falls!
As long as the edict can't get out,
Wei Lin
will help Prince Xian take the throne instead of me.
If the throne can be returned back to him.
I, Miao Qing,
am willing to sacrifice my life!
You are Miao Qing!
Whatever!
Let's get out!
Kill him!
Wenqu.
Take Yaoguang away!
Yes!
Yaoguang,
are you okay?
Are you surprised
that I used this trick?
Dongming, Yinguang,
now go!
I don't want to die in vain!
Taisui!
Don't mind me!
Yaoguang!
Taisui!
No!
Taisui!
Go!
Taisui!
Go!
Taisui!
Go!
Taisui!
Come out!
Taisui!
Come out!
Taisui!
Tai...
Yaoguang!
I have fulfilled my duty.
Good job!
What's wrong with Yaoguang?
Your highness,
Yaoguang is okay.
Seniors,
where is Taisui?
Where is Taisui?
Why is eunuch Lei so calm?
Your highness,
the late emperor has been dead for many days.
A country should have its ruler.
I urge your highness
to give priority to the country,
please follow the testamentary of the late emperor,
and take the throne today
to deal with national affairs,
so that the country can maintain its stability.
No need to worry about this, Prime Minister Wei.
I'm the prime minister.
Now the throne is in suspense.
If I don't worry about this,
then,
who will?
That's right!
Your highness,
Prime Minister Wei is right.
The empress dowager is coming!
Bow in respect before your highness.
And Crown Prince your highness!
Arise.
The late emperor has been dead for many days.
Please carry on the imperial career
and take the throne, your highness!
Please take the throne, your highness!
Crown Prince cannot take the throne!
The late emperor had given his throne to Prince Xian.
If Crown Prince takes the throne, he will be disobeying the testamentary edict.
Minister Wang.
Minister Chen.
Say something!
The late emperor just died.
Do you want to be an
unrighteous and disloyal official?
Wei Lian, impudent!
I think you are the
unrighteous and disloyal official!
Your highness,
I've been loyal to our country
my whole life!
How could you say this?
Loyal?
What a good word!
Eunuch!
Read the testamentary edict!
Bow to the testamentary edict!
To all,
one's life is limited,
and the number of one's days is fixed.
Even the wise saint
in the past cannot escape this destiny.
Sine my accession,
I've been following this destiny
and serving the people of the country.
During my 25-year reign,
I've got an illness from long years' anxiety and tiredness.
which makes it hard for me to rule the country.
Now that
the Crown Prince
is blessed with intelligence,
and endowed with talent,
he could be the one to rule the country.
He should take the throne in front of my coffin.
Make the news known
to the whole world.
The end.
Long live the emperor your majesty!
Spread the edict
to the ministers.
Yes.
Prime minister Wei Lin,
you've abused power for personal interests,
formed cliques,
framed loyal officials,
colluded with eunuch Lei Yun,
and faked the imperial edict,
with the intention to rebel.
What punishment do you think you deserve?
Soldiers!
Your highness!
Take Wei Lin down!
Yes!
He deserves it!
The edict is real.
Please take the throne, your highness!
Your highness is so cautious.
They really had plan B.
How wise your majesty is!
Bow in respect before your majesty.
Long live your majesty!
I was on business trip these days.
Haven't seen you for long.
Have you
got bullied there?
But with such a personality,
you must have been bullied many times.
Forget it.
Today,
I will burn more money for you.
The Yama is easy to deal with,
but the ghosts are not.
If you offend someone in the nether world,
use these money to solve it.
By the way,
do you know that
the title of our reign now has changed
into Tiansheng.
How about your place?
If there is anything
interesting there,
you can talk about it
in my dream.
Long time no see.
Everything is okay here,
except the poor prime minister Kang.
His majesty intended to call him back to the capital,
but unfortunately,
his illness
worsened on the way to Leizhou.
He died
before the imperial edict arrived.
I gotta go.
Are you lonely there?
Luckily,
you have those fire flies with you,
but they don't understand your words.
Since you're so pitiful,
I can allow you to get married there.
But
she can't be prettier than me.
Okay,
I gotta go.
I made this grasshopper
for you.
If you think I'm not good at it,
come back and teach me.
The 1-meter Longquan Sword.
Disappeared from the box.
