Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty [Episode 26]
Eight Brother, you made a great move!
Xiao Wei has been captured, and Fourth Brother is exposed as deceiving the Emperor.
13th Brother is like an act on a boiling kettle, running in circles.
We have defeated both of them using Xiao Wei.
We sure saved ourselves a lot of energy.
I think they have themselves to blame for being so arrogant.
To dare to go up against our 8th Brother. They brought the bitterness to themselves.
It's their own fault.
I will have to pour some cold water on you two then.
We succeeded not because they are weak opponents,
but because we manipulated their weak point.
You're right. We are indebted to you for your strategic planning.
Thank you, Eighth Brother.
4th and 13th Princes are unafraid to die though.
To rebel and deceive His Majesty all for Xiao Wei? And they did deceive us.
Xiao Wei is going to die soon;
it's great she is of use to us before she dies.
I think we should take this chance to submit their crime. Deceiving the emperor is a grave crime.
It's enough to knock those two down completely.
Yes, yes, 9th brother is right. Then, at tomorrow's morning court session . . .
- You must never. - Why not, 8th Brother?
Have you forgotten that Father
hates it when the brothers fight?
If you report 4th's crime of deception over this, you will court Father's discontent.
That will be a disadvantage to us instead.
So what should we do? Nothing?
That's right.
We should just wait and see. If we do something now
and cause more chaos, it will only upset Father.
14th is indeed correct. Though this is a trap we laid,
we cannot be tangled in it at this time.
We have to pretend that we know nothing and are not involved at all.
The whole matter is serious enough
that we don't need to get involved. Let Father make the judgment.
We should keep to our own affairs and not interfere.
Yes, Eighth Brother.
Don't worry. We just need to wait and see.
Xiao Wei will die for sure.
Is there anything else to report today?
Your Majesty, I have a matter to report.
Bureau of Punishment has been looking over at old cases.
It's been discovered that a major case that rocked the court still has some aftermaths.
I thought that it was necessary to report to Your Majesty.
What case is it?
Replying to Your Majesty, back then, 13th Consort
case of using cursing witchcraft to frame 4th prince.
13th consort was granted death, and it was great imperial mercy that spared her clan from extermination.
Who would've guessed though someone tried to shield a criminal of the court,
planned a fake death and deceived Your Majesty.
Who would dare such an act of disparaging the imperial authority?
I have already investigated it thoroughly.
It was 4th prince who shield the criminal of the court and committed the act of deception to His Majesty.
That's a huge crime. Are you certain?
I don't dare to accuse a Prince. I'm reporting
of course it's because I have enough evidence and witness.
I personally saw the 13th Consort come back alive.
May Your Majesty preside over such a grave charge.
Yin Zhen.
Father, please ease your anger. 4th Brother was always stable.
He would never defy Your Majesty's command.
And a grave act against virtue of shielding a high criminal of the court at that.
If there's a witness then please invite them in
to see if they personally saw 4th Brother save 13th Consort.
If they didn't then we're accusing 4th Brother.
Your Majesty, please reconsider. This 4th Brother
has always shown prudence and restraint.
Pointing him out outright like this is just hearsay, I fear.
That's right. There's no evidence or witness right now.
Since it's an old case, may Bureau of Punishment continue to investigate it further.
If there's evidence then it's not too late to discuss but if there's not
then 4th Prince would be framed unjustly for nothing.
Bureau of Punishment, what say you?
It's best for me to go back and investigate then report it to Your Majesty.
There's even something like this.
9th Brother, can't be that it was your doing to instigate Bureau of Punishment to report 4th?
Why would I be so nosy? Didn't 14th tell us to wait and see?
10th, you didn't endure it and ended up telling someone?
How could I dare to? 8th Brother already said
to not let us get interfere with this. Why would I bother?
If it's not you or me then who would it be?
I'm afraid it's not our people that arranged for this.
Then it's the senior ministers who can't stand it,
and they report it to His Majesty?
10th you must be joking. Back then, Xiao Wei's fake death
His Majesty knew about it through us.
The high ministers wouldn't have known it before us.
Then what's going on?
I'm guessing someone did some tactics.
It's not simple. Our actions in the future
must be extra careful.
Who is ruining our good work?
It must 4th and 13th Prince.
They exposed themselves? Aren't they seek for their death?
This tactic of resurrection after cornering to death was a nice play.
It looks like they didn't sit and do nothing but they're doing it in secret.
Using retreat as advance.
But what are they up to?
14th Brother.
I have something to discuss with you.
Are you about to attack 8th Brother?
I had no desire to entangle into your fight, but Xiao Wei's life's on the line and I must wager death to try.
14th, if you stand up this time then everything we did for Xiao Wei will be in vain.
Even if you're saving Xiao Wei, how can I do nothing when 8th Brother is at risk?
So I can only make a gamble. I'm gambling that you won't stand up.
You're that certain?
I know how you feel about 8th Brother. I'm not certain with this gamble
but until the end, who would know the result?
May 14th brother who cherishes relationship and loyalty think of Xiao Wei as well.
13th Prince, how is it? How could this have a rainbow?
It's not rained and this is just a piece of glass.
If you don't see it that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Go away. Don't block my sunlight.
How is it? 13th Prince, there's really a rainbow!
Xiao Wei will definitely understand once she sees it.
Yin Xiang, are you telling me
to have hope and not give up?
Thank you.
No matter what, I'll endure it
and wait for the day that we unite.
Greetings, Crown Prince.
Don't be courteous, 13th Brother.
Crown Prince's manor is indeed an oasis that calls for admiring.
In this Forbidden Palace, I'm afraid we can't find
another serene place like this.
You're over-complimenting me.
I am only trying to focus on the moment and take time to watch the flowers bloom and fade in front of me.
Pay heed to the skies and the clouds.
I fear you're the only one who can achieve such calmness outside ambition.
It matters not even if I am stationed above everyone else but one person.
I am still having to think over one by one and step one by one.
And lose my principles.
You cannot escape the cold if you're standing high.
The court is full of plotting.
And it's hard to read another's true intention, so how many can truly preserve their own principles?
Don't be too despaired, 13th brother.
You and I still hold to our principles, at the very least.
It was thanks to Xiao Wei that I could reclaim my morals.
Speaking of Xiao Wei, though I am residing away, I have heard some news too.
It's indeed a great fortune that Xiao Wei survived a great calamity.
But Royal Father's jailed her and I fear that is not promising.
13th Brother, do you have a method?
I won't hide it from you. I actually came this time
to ask Crown Prince to help save Xiao Wei.
I feel ashamed.
My title as Crown Prince is really only in nam only now and I haven't the power to do as I will.
Even if I go and plead her cas to Royal Father, I don't think it will help at all.
Not necessarily so. I am not here today to ask you to go make a plea.
Then what are you here for?
I want to ask you for a favor.
You needn't be so formal as my brother, and Xiao Wei is Xiao Chun's savior.
I have to way to repay for that kindness so if there's anything I can do, I will do my utmost.
I know you're a man of devotion but my request,
if you consent to it, your relationship with Father and Brothers,
will all take a backseat and your duty as clansman and subject,
will all be tested and you may even lose all you have now.
Crown Prince, are you still willing to help me?
13th brother, did you think I would put my seat as crown prince,
and the luxury of imperial clansman over my morals?
These vain things are worth nothing to me.
I have already lost what's most precious to me.
Now I have nothing so what reservations would I have?
I will cherish your magnanimous kindness.
Even if something really happens, I will never let your sacrifice go in vain.
This measure will surely save Xiao Wei and get rid of evildoers.
And harmonize the court.
Any sacrifice shall come out of my own willingness.
I only pray that I will not go against my principles.
My Great Qing rules the world with filial piety.
The Imperial Ancestral Temple has fallen and a grave against piety.
I am guilty to face my ancestors.
I deserve death. May Your Majesty grant me death.
I have defied Your Majesty's kindness beyond forgiveness.
Royal Father, this matter is no one else's fault. It's my incompetence.
I carried out matters ineptly. I've disappointed you.
I am too ashamed to face my ancestors.
I am willing to shoulder all consequences and work hard to make amends.
I only beg that I am allowed to put in effort to rectify.
Crown Prince, how would you make amend?
The Imperial Ancestral Temple is completely destroyed and it will need to be completely rebuilt.
Your remodeling is truly a big remodel.
In my humble opinion, recently the purple star has been startled by an evil aura.
Crown Prince should not be involved in the matter of the temple for the time being.
I fear it is not auspicious.
Royal Father, I believe the matter of rebuilding the temple is a great matter.
We need full cooperation from all sides and we cannot afford to let any one sector languish.
Also, it wasn't intentional that the Crown Prince destroyed the great work of the ancestors.
May Royal Father reconsider.
Ancestral Temple matter is a calamity from Heaven and not the work of men.
I have no intention to blame Crown Prince and the remodeling of the temple is a complex task.
It's hard to avoid having issues come up.
Bureau of Work and Rites should do your utmost to assist the Crown Prince.
Instead of reporting him.
Royal Father is very right. I have always been interested in building.
In my assessment, it's only the beam that has collapsed in the temple.
It doesn't need a complete rebuilding. It just needs some additional materials added.
And it will be securely erect for hundreds of years.
I am confident I can help Royal Father get rid of the worry and finish the task of building swiftly.
Your Majesty, since 8th Prince has shown interest,
then let us have 8th Prince put in charge of the rebuilding.
Yes, Your Majesty. 8th Prince is talented and prudent.
It is the fortune of Great Qing that he can ease your worries.
With 8th Prince's skills, he can surely rebuild the temple.
And secure the legacy of the ancestors.
Then let me ask you. If I give you a month's time,
can you restore the temple to it's old state?
Reporting to Royal Father, I shall not disappoint.
Then it's settled. You are in charge of the matter.
Thank you, Royal Father. I am ready.
Did you all see how pitiful the Crown Prince looked earlier?
9th Brother and I almost let out our laughter earlier.
It was thanks to 8th Brother who gave us the look. Did you see 13th and 4th Brothers?
They didn't dare to make a peep. What a great thrill!
I think the Crown Prince took a pretty bad slip here.
I fear he's about to be slipped out of the crown prince's manor.
You all didn't see it earlier. When 8th Brother said he would restore the temple.
The look on the entire court ministers and generals.
Crown Prince has lost power already and 4th Brother is barely about to preserve himself.
It's only our 8th Brother who's garnered attention.
It's only a matter of time before he's secured the reign.
Things change fast for sure.
My position in the court is not as before.
As long as I complete this task of restoring the temple, I shall garner Royal Father's trust.
I will have to thank sister-in-law for the planning.
I shall wish for you to move into the crown prince's manor soon.
No such thing. This all depends on Royal Father still.
Royal Father's intention is already clear. Crown Prince was cornered and no one dared to speak up for him.
I think Royal Father's already given up on that crown prince.
Do you agree, 14th Brother?
14th Brother must be angry at me. Our work to destroy the temple.
He was all against it back then but now it's done.
I imagine you don't feel at ease about it.
It's already done so why bother with all the mindfulness?
14th Brother. A man who is to accomplish big must know when to make sacrifices.
A great man needs to be ready to make disposals.
It's always been difficult for a man to be both righteous and loyal.
But I promise you, once the temple is restored,
I will beg for forgiveness before the ancestors.
8th Prince, 14th Prince is still childishly stubborn but I will talk to him when we're back home.
Alright.
8th Brother. Do you really think
the temple matter is truly as simple a rebuild?
I hope we don't fall into someone's trap.
14th, you said nothing inside earlier.
Is it because you're still worried?
This matter is advantageous to us no matter the origin.
So we must seize this opportunity.
But 8th Brother, don't you think the court was overly complimentary towards you?
This may lose favor to Royal Father.
Don't forget, "Straight trees fall first and sweet wells drain first". [ T/N = the talented die early ]
14th Brother, why wouldn't I know what you mean?
At this point with work about to start, I cannot revert.
I can only let that arrow shoot forward.
Even if the arrow breaks,
I have done my utmost.
Hence, this matter, no matter the result,
I will shoulder it all.
It's late and chilly, yet instead of going to bed,
you are here drinking alone,
is something troubling you?
It's a good time to drink with this night breeze.
Is there something you want to say to me?
I saw that you were pondering something at Eighth Brother's house today.
So I wonder if you were thinking about the same thing as me.
Even though all the high ministers are supportive of 8th Brother,
and 8th Brother is garnering great attention,
wind can change the direction of the sail on water swiftly.
It is not always good to be the center of attention.
What dangers do you see?
8th Brother's aura is high above the Crown Prince right now.
The Crown Prince is no more than a straw boat to the ministers.
And 13th and 4th Prince who always regarded the Crown Prince as a soft arrow,
who is to know their sentiments now?
I don't believe a bit that the calculating 4th prince is untouched.
Don't you plan to dissuade 8th Brother?
He should be less haughty while he can still pull back.
Instead of drumming up such a roar.
But 4th and 13th have shown no movement.
They are very pacified.
But both you and I know it's only . . .
I will not be involved anymore.
8th Brother is already aware, in order to ascend to the high seat,
he will need to pay the suitable price for it.
It's akin to climbing a dangerous peak.
One cannot predict fully the treacherous process to get there.
A person has to sacrifice something
in order to get what he wants.
What about you?
What do you want?
What would you be willing
to sacrifice everything for?
It's late. I feel tired.
Fine.
I guess I'll have to wait and see how things turn out.
Yin Xiang, I know you will come and save me, right?
Xiao Wei, tell me what I should do.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, do I announce?
No need. You can go.
Yes, your Majesty.
Royal Father, I am late in receiving you. May you forgive.
You can get up.
Thank you, Father.
You look exhausted.
I didn't want to wake you up so you could sleep longer.
What is it?
You're still researching about restoring the temple?
Replying to Royal Father, though I am no longer in charge,
I am still concerned about the reconstruction of the temple.
Furthermore, it's due to my incompetence,
and I need to put more effort in studying it.
You're thoughtful enough.
I came to tell you that the matter of the temple collapse,
I no longer blame you. It was due to the Bureau of Works failure to use proper materials.
Royal Father, though you say so, the temple's collapse
puts the ancestor's souls to unease and it's my unfilial doing.
My ineptness has disappointed you over and over.
I am not trustworthy and I've caused the court to be in unease.
It's my disloyalty that's brought upon the uproars.
I am truly ashamed before you.
I think you're too harsh on yourself.
Don't speak to such extreme.
You're a crown prince and you must endure the uproars.
This matter, let it be a teaching.
If you can learn something from it,
as to how to govern, then it's not all a loss.
Royal Father is correct.
Royal Father's always been intent on nurturing me.
To let me know in small and large matters,
to learn some principles.
Yes.
Since you were young, you were talented.
Smart and charming.
Royal Father's always been extra cherishing of me.
You taught me to ride and shoot and write personally.
I still remember the first time I rode a horse, I fell off,
and it put you in a big panic.
You held me and ran to the palace.
You held my hand the whole time, telling me not to be afraid.
Since then, you became my sky.
You put so much hope in me.
Yet I am so incompetent.
I've put your hope to vain.
I owe you.
It's my fault not protecting you well to let you suffer.
Royal Father. I beg you to depose me as crown prince.
What did you say?
Depose me as crown prince. May you allow it.
Bastard!
How dare you say that.
How will I face your deceased mother later on?
Stop your nonsense.
Your mother pulled my hand in her death, asking me to look after you well.
Today, if I depose you as crown prince,
I will have no face to see her later.
Royal Father, I have already been cast away by the crowd.
Though I am the crown prince, I have no authority.
If you depose me,
you would be giving me a chance to live instead and Royal Mother would not blame you.
Do you wish to see me shamed again and again?
Such torment.
It's worse than death, Royal Father.
I have never imagined.
That this seat of crown prince is such a torment to you.
Alright. I will go along with you then.
Depose you.
Depose you as crown prince.
Your son thanks Royal Father for the allowance.
You suffered.
I will seek justice for you.
The wind and clouds are changing in the Forbidden City and the tides have turned in the court.
The crown prince manor will see a new owner.
Overnight, everything will change.
Tomorrow, I believe Royal Father will make it clear.
This time, it was all thanks to the crown prince that we succeeded.
I owe it to Crown Prince on this matter.
To have him suffer the shame and give up his seat.
And to endure the mockery and glare of others.
After this matter, I respect Crown Prince even more.
To have the ability to give up the position and endure the shame.
In order to seek after the virtue he holds dear to him.
Such nobility and restraint. I do not have it.
If he can continue that principle,
I imagine he would be a great ruler.
Indeed.
What a pity that the crown prince no longer cares about the court.
Only the life as leisurely as the clouds
can allow him freedom.
I envy him for being able to let go these meaningless things sooner than later.
After I rescue Xiao Wei,
I will leave with her far away from here to live leisurely.
4th Brother, we cannot let Crown Prince sacrifice in vain.
This battle is even now.
Next battle will determine who wins.
As bestowed by the Heavens and announced by His Majesty,
with the blessing of the imperial ancestors,
upon the hard work of the subjects for the benefit of the people,
on awareness peace for the land,
with determination that the Second Prince
is sickly and unable to carry out a greater mission.
So I announce to the world and the ancestors,
that the Crown Prince is to move out of the Eastern Palace.
Signed by the Emperor.
Crown Prince is deposed?
I hear 8th Prince is about to become the crown prince.
Crown Prince is going to be deposed.
Anyone with an opinion should speak up to share.
No need to whisper in secret.
Your Majesty, the deposing of the crown prince is too sudden.
Though Crown Prince made a mistake in restoration of the ancestral temple,
he's not made too grave of mistakes all these years as crown prince.
He's eased your worries instead but since he's weak physically,
may Your Majesty appoint another to carry on this big task.
Your Majesty, crown prince is deposed but the eastern palace needs an owner.
For the peace of state affairs and to ease your worries,
we need a new crown prince selected right away.
Select who?
Tell me who you think is suitable.
Your Majesty, erecting the crown prince should be by seniority.
I believe 1st Prince is the top choice.
- He should bare this huge responsibility. - Crown Prince should be chosen by merit.
That's what's best for Great Qing and for the people.
I believe 8th Prince is more talented.
And most virtuous to be the crown prince.
Your Majesty, I believe it's not a matter of seniority or merit.
Since the old times, it's never been clear what exactly is high merit.
Since our Great Qing is in peace and prosperity, even more reason for us to have the most sage choice.
I believe 4th Prince is most impartial and resolute.
He will surely carry out our nation in most righteous way.
What great talk of righteousness.
Don't forget, 4th Prince hasn't finished investigating a great case.
Since it's not done investigating, where's the blame?
You don't forget either.
His Majesty already said no one is to speak nonsense before the case is closed.
I believe between 4th Prince and 8th Prince,
it's still better to select the blameless and virtuous 8th Prince.
What do you mean?
- 4th Prince is not blameless, how? - I don't mean that.
Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe 8th Prince is most suited.
Yes, Your Majesty.
8th Prince is virtuous and firm. Most suitable for the great task.
Your Majesty, I also recommend 8th Prince.
Yin Si,
so many recommend you.
What do you think?
Royal Father, I don't dare. I don't dare.
How don't you dare?
Dare you say you have no intention to steal the seat?
You didn't force Crown Prince to concede his seat?
Royal Father, I would never dare.
I never forced him.
May your anger be eased. 8th Prince never told us to recommend him.
May your anger dissipate.
8th Prince would never dare. May you be sage.
You see it for yourself.
Look! So many speak for you.
How skilled you are!
You can summon the wind and rain in my own court now.
So many are speaking for you.
Royal Father, I don't dare.
May your anger dissipate. I don't dare.
You conspired and built your association with ill intention.
You forced your own brother to step down from crown prince seat. You have no sense of brotherhood.
You are arrogant and self-promoting.
What don't you dare?
You are so skilled and you haven't forced me to vacate my seat.
I should count you as merciful then, right?
Royal Father. Brother is always in awe of you. He wouldn't dare to plot his own band.
May you be sage. He holds no disrespect towards you at all.
I deposed the crown prince. I am not afraid to depose a prince too.
I will have you shut your doors to self reflect.
The matter of the crown prince shall be rediscussed later.
