Go away. Go away. Quickly! Go away! Who's that? He sounds so arrogant. Go away. Quickly! Go away. It's Hu Weiyong. He's got promoted. This ordinary man becomes a high-ranking official now. He's so domineering now. Liu Yi. Tell them to make way. Sir, let me knock his head to wake him up. Liu Yi, listen to me. Let's make way for them. Go. Well, alright. Make way for them. Greetings, Your Majesty. I've got the message about Liu Bowen. Say it. There's nothing special on the fifth day after he left the palace. He traveled fifteen kilometers a day and then took a rest. He once stayed in two inns. There's record about the shopkeepers and the names of the inns. It costs fifteen strings of coins for a night at the inn. He didn't disturb the local officials. He ate half a kilogram dry cakes and some vegetables. His daily life was as usual. No extra expense. He didn't get in touch with any suspicious man, either. Where are they now? They'll get to the boundary of Jinhua the day after tomorrow. You can leave now. Yes. Here comes the Administrator of Jinhua, Lord Chai. -Welcome, Lord Chai. -Congratulations. Our master is inside. Please. Okay. So many gifts. Thanks. Congratulations. Hello, Lord Li. Go inside, please. Here comes the Administrator of Chuzhou, Lord Zhao. Welcome, Lord Zhao. Please. Go inside, please. Lord Zhao, go inside, please. Is that real? That's amazing. Amazing! Amazing! That's amazing. Go inside, please. Congratulations. Lord Liang and Lord Liu arrive. Hello, Lord Liang and Lord Liu. Go inside, please. Here comes the deputy prime minister of Central Secretariat, Lord Hu. Lord Hu, you've also come from the capital. A pair of jade peaches. A birthday gift for your master. Thanks for your gift. The administrators of Fengyang and Jinhua are both inside. Some of the guests are from the Ministries of Revenue, Personnel, and Rites. Our master is giving a performance to entertain the guests inside. Go inside, please. Come on. Please. He'll conjure up the wine. Really? I once saw it. He can do that. Look. Look. It's coming. Come on. Great. Amazing! That's why people call him an immortal. He conjures it up out of nothing. The kettle was empty. Right. Amazing! That's Amazing! Good! Thanks for joining my birthday party. Thank you. May you live forever. Sir, this wine has got our master's magic inside. It's blessed by God. Very effective. For what you want to know, I saw it. The prime minister was born in the year of dragon. For his trip, he'll go from Yingtian to Fengyang. He should be heading west. That's the direction of White Tiger. Dragons and tigers are incompatible. It's not good. For the southeast, it's the direction of Fiery Dragon. A murderous aura seems to go around there. The southeast? I wonder whether you're on bad terms with anyone in the imperial court? My power is limited. I need to ask the gods for help. Please write down the name and birth time of your foe. It's him? What's wrong, master? This man… This man is the bane of Lord Li. Why? In terms of his birth time, he's the dragon of heaven. The prime minister is the dragon of earth. The dragon of heaven hampers the dragon of earth. It seems the prime minister will face his bad luck soon. Sir, I wonder where this man is now? Liu Bowen has asked for a leave and left the capital. He's heading for his hometown Qingtian. Oh! Qingtian is in the southeast. That's right. What should I do? Dragon on the left, white tiger on the right, rosefinch above, and tortoise below. The dragon hides in deep waters. Lucky. The dragon hides in deep waters? What does it mean? It means the prime minister should go home? But the prime minister is already on the way to Fengyang. I can't reveal the secret. I only know that when the dragon hides in deep waters, there's still hope if the exhausted bird goes back to its nest. The exhausted bird is back to its nest? I'll give the prime minister a jade bed. Jade comes from water, and belongs to earth. It can hamper the power of the dragon of heaven, and keep the prime minister safe temporarily. I've got the jade bed ready. Thanks, master. Lord Li, Hu Weiyong asks to see you. Ask him to come in. Yes. Lord Hu, please. Greetings, sir. Why are you here? I intended to be the first to go to your home and say goodbye to you. But I didn't go because of some family affairs. I've brought a small jade bed to you for your trip. Though it's a small gift, hope you can accept it. If you're tired, you can rest on it. Bring it in. Be quick. Be quick. Sir, please take a look. This is the jade bed you've motioned for my rest during the trip? Yes. It's valuable. Do you want others to say I indulge in pleasure or take bribes? Take it back. Sir, you misunderstood it. I've got this bed from a master of fortune-telling. It can help you avoid trouble and disasters. Well, you're trying to give me a gift with different reasons. You do this again. If I want to give you a gift, why don't I give you a bigger one? Everyone knows the bigger the jade is, the better it is. Look at this small jade bed. The jade is folded into several pieces. It's not valuable now. If you don't believe it, you can send someone out to ask about it. I'm afraid it's worth not more than five taels of silver. Old man, please make way. Please step aside. Be careful. Make way. Please make way. Stop. Stop. Father, we hit someone. Old man, are you all right? Oh, my leg. It's painful. Sir, how are you? My leg. Look. Big Leopard, you're to blame. He didn't walk carefully. It's not my fault. Alright. Stop arguing. Help him up first. Liu Yi, fetch the medicine chest. Okay. Slowly. Sir, what's your name? Where are you going? My… My surname is Wang. I'm going to Jinhua Prefecture to look for my son. Jinhua? There's still a long way to go. Just get in our carriage first. Come on. Sir, you know what? Liu Bowen has asked for a leave to return to his hometown. I went to Jinhua particularly asked Immortal Wang to do the fortune-telling. He said that Liu Bowen had also been born in the year of dragon. He's the dragon of heaven. You're the dragon of earth, whose bane is the dragon of heaven. So Liu Bowen is your bane. Are you referring to that Immortal Wang from Jinhua Prefecture who help others to cure diseases, avoid disasters and promote longevity? Many people say he's very powerful. In my opinion, he's merely fraud. I don't believe him. I saw him conjure up the wine and do the telekinesis. The local officials often go to his home, too. His foretelling is accurate. That day, as soon as I went into his room, before I could say something, he said, I know where your teacher is now. I also know where Liu Bowen is now. I know it clearly. He also said… He also said your trip this time would be dangerous. This is not a groundless rumor. I heard from people in the palace before Liu Bowen set off, he pretended to be drunk when he went to see His Majesty. They talked for a long time in the study room. Sir, do you want to know what they were discussing? It's you they were talking about. Superficially, Liu Bowen left the capital. In fact, he's hidden in the dark, holding a knife and staring at you. He can both move forward for an attack or step back for a defense. What a sly man! We work so hard for His Majesty, He creates obstacles behind us. That's enough. How dare you sow discord between the officials and the emperor and spread rumors? Aren't you afraid I'd tie you up and take you to His Majesty? Sir, don't be angry. Forgive me. I was merely being concerned about you. I didn't speak properly. Please forgive me. Forgive me. Alright. Be up. Thanks, sir. A clean hand wants no washing. I didn't do any bad thing. I don't need to be worried. Sir, calm down. I've come back here to help you get over the difficulty. In my opinion, the game has just started. You still have lots of cards in your hands. It remains uncertain who can win the game. Do you know how to make a fire? Clumsy man. Go away. I asked you to go away. Didn't you hear it? I asked you to go away. You want a fight? I… What? Let go of me. What's wrong? You're fighting! Want a fight? What's the matter? Why do you fight with each other? Want to make a fire? I'll do it. I'll do it. My pastries are burnt. What a waste. Look. They're burnt. Look. Alright. My hat. My God. Bad luck. Sir, here's the tea. Thanks. Are you all right? I'm fine. I'm fine. Look. Sit down. How's your leg? Thanks to your help, I used your medicine, and I feel better now. It's not that painful for me to walk these two days. Good. Good. Mr. Wang, you cook well. Where did you learn it? Sir, I'm flattered. I used to have a small restaurant in Yingtian. Later, the business was bad. It was closed down. I joined the imperial kitchen by someone's help and tried to make a living. Unexpectedly, they didn't need me after I worked there for only two days. So I want to go to Jinhua to look for my son. Your son sells duck blood and vermicelli soup in Jinhua. Did he learn it from you? Yes. We'll reach Jinhua soon. Are you happy to see your son? Yes, I am. If you can't find your son, cook for me in the future. Sir, I'll remember your words. I had no chance to tell you this. Liu Yi is energetic, while Big Leopard is young and imprudent. You have to work before your leg heals. I'm so sorry. Sir, it's fine. It's what I should do. Sir, do you want another cup of tea? Yes. Thank you. Sir. How do you feel? How do you think I should feel? I sat inside the carriage all the way, and seldom walked around. Wherever I got, I ate and drank a lot. Now, the alcohol inside my belly keeps flowing around like this. Even my sweat smells like alcohol. Sir. I'm still thinking about Immortal Wang's words. Fengyang is the place of White Tiger. It's not good for you to go there. His Majesty gave the order. I must go. You surely have to listen to His Majesty's order. But it's possible that you're ill. Father, I've tested him. Big Leopard must have practiced martial arts before. He's not a servant. He must have stolen the seal. Don't be so sure. Do you think Mr. Wang did it? I've tested this man, too. He's not an ordinary man. How did they do this? You had the key of box with you all the time. What's more, how did he know there was an official seal inside the box? There's no difference between this box and the other ones. It's not hard to guess it. Think about it. We put all the other boxes in the luggage cart following us. But I took this one with my all the time. I used the seal this afternoon. They must have done it at nightfall. Why did they steal the seal? If His Majesty wants it, he can give an order to take it back. Well, it's a big crime. Many things can be done with this lost official seal. Let me say it in this way. Think about a white paper with a seal added to it. Whoever lost the seal will face much trouble. Well, sir. Someone wants to frame you. Father, now they're outside being unaware of this. Let's catch and search him. He must still have the seal with him. By then, we catch him with the seal and take him to His Majesty. Let's hear what he will say. It's impossible to find it. Why not? There're only several men, one carriage and a few things. Several hundred kilometers' roads around here. Several hundred trees. A vast tract of grass. Right? It's impossible to find it. If you insist on searching him, it's clear that you don't trust the man sent by His Majesty. If you don't trust him, it means you don't trust His Majesty. Besides, the seal has been missing for four hours. If he wants to do anything, he must have finished it. What should we do now? The best solution is to find out who stole the seal and what his purpose is. We get the seal back, and we can't let him know. Oh! I'm sure of one thing, Liu Yi. The thief has no idea we've known the seal is lost. Think about it. I've been here all night. Right? Even if he wants to put it back, he can't do so. He must be anxious now. He must be wondering how he could put it back secretly. Why are you so sure he wants to put it back? It's a crime to lose the seal. Stealing the seal is also a crime. Just like us, he doesn't want to alert the enemy. I'm sure he'll put the seal back tomorrow morning. Why? Think about it. Where will we arrive tomorrow? The boundary of Jinhua. We have to show our certificates to travel. The certificates to travel and the seal are put together. If he doesn't want us to find out about it, he must put the seal back before this time. That's easy. Let's do this. Come on. Oh, no! Help put out the fire! Fire! Fire! I told you to be careful of fire. This is not the first time. Help! Coming. Move these things out. Be quick! Put them far away from here. Help put out the fire! I've the put the box inside. Put it inside, too. Okay. Liu Bowen and his men have arrived at the boundary of Jinhua? Yes. So far, there has been nothing special. They camped in the wild last night. There's nothing suspicious. Okay. Your Majesty, there's news about the prime minister. Say it. On the third day after he left the capital, he traveled fifteen kilometers, and arrived at Chuzhou. The prefect of Chuzhou and ten other officials welcomed him together. He lived in the government office. The cost of meals and accommodation is unclear. Unclear. He didn't pay at all. That's what he would do. Go ahead. On that day, such officials as Yingtian Prefecture's administrator, vice administrator, vice-prefect and staff of the educational department all stayed with him. He was dozens of kilometers away from the capital. Yingtian's officials still followed him. They're trying to get some benefits from him. The meat hasn't been served yet, and so many flies have gathered around the table. Go ahead. On the dusk of that day, over thirty men from Chuzhou's educational department, such as professor, director and vice-director of discipline, instructor and scholars all visited him. I want to build a tomb. It has nothing to do with these nerds. According to people from Chuzhou's government, it's a great cause for Your Majesty to build a tomb for the ancestors. Scholars and talented men of different fields should write articles to discuss about its meaning, praise it and record it so that the later generations can know about it. These nerds are geniuses. On the dusk of yesterday, he met the deputy prime minister Hu Weiyong. Hu Weiyong? The newly-appointed deputy prime minister? Yes. Your Majesty, an urgent message from Chuzhou's administrator. The prime minister has got sick suddenly. He's on the way back now. He hopes Your Majesty could inform the Imperial Hospital. Here comes the empress. Your Grace. Your Grace, you came finally. I want to see Shanchang now. This way, please. Greetings, Your Grace. Be up. Thanks, Your Grace. How's the prime minister? In terms of his pulse condition, he's got exhausted from the trip. His tri-jiao is infected with fire-evil, and he's in depression. Besides, he suffers from indigestion, so he falls sick. To cure his disease, I'll use the method of easing the mind and decreasing internal heat, and prescribe medicine to enhance the body resistance and calm the nerves. Thanks, doctor. If there's any problem, just tell me about it. Yes, Your Grace. Let me take a look at him. Come on, Your Grace. Sit down, please. I'm so worried. When he left, he wasn't seriously ill like this. I didn't expect he'd end up like this. Shanchang, I've come to visit you. Shanchang. Your Grace! Lie down. Lie down. Don't worry, the doctor says you're fine. You'll recover after taking the medicine for a few times. Your Grace, I'm such a useless man. His Majesty has just given such an important task to me, but I'm sick now. Do you think so? All our lives, there're two things which we can't control. One is disease, and the other is death. Don't blame yourself for being sick. Stop saying these silly words. Just take a good rest. Thanks, Your Grace. Your Grace, I have one more request. Just say it. Please tell His Majesty, in fact, my fear is the cause. I'm worried I can't fulfill the important task given by His Majesty. So I'm really scared. Actually, my fear is the cause. Alright. Alright. I understand. I understand. Take a rest. What? He's sick because he's worried he can't fulfill the task of building the tomb? Right. Ridiculous. I think he's really scared. He didn't fake it. He's always a disappointment. Don't say that. When you led the troops to fight in the war, he dealt with the political affairs and managed money and provisions in the rear. He did everything well. Let's talk about your ascending ceremony. Shanchang made all the arrangements. Be grateful. Don't burn the bridge after crossing it. I told you. Shanchang is unable to do this task. He set off to do the task with so much money from the national treasury. Those officials kept gathering around him like flies smelling the food. It was hard for him to get rid of them. Shanchang was a kind man. He didn't want to denounce them. But he was also worried something wrong might happen. So he fell sick because of his fear. In my opinion, we should find a bold man to do this task. I know he's like a kitten. As for that big cat, Liu Bowen, I'd like to give him this task. But just look at him. He keeps stepping back. It seems I'm going to push him into a fire pit. What's going on? During the war, we were like real brothers. Now I'm the emperor. I become so alone. What? Is it a mistake for me to be an emperor? Chongba, I know you feel sad. Seeing you being so sad, I feel sadder than you. To tell you the truth, sometimes, I wish we could go back to the old days. I really want to help you. Don't you discover that everyone hides from you now? They only dare to say something nice to you. Even Liu Bowen. He used to a generous and unrestrained man. He had to pretend to be drunk, and escaped out of the capital by a shabby carriage. Do you have any ideas? Just say it. There's one solution. But it's up to you whether to use it or not. Say it. Those officials who came at the sight of profits should be punished. Cut their dirty hands. Make them get rid of the thoughts of taking profits for themselves. As for Lord Li, You should give him support and make him stop worrying. How can I make him stop worrying? Give him the death-free token. Promise him you won't kill him. On what grounds should I give him this promise? Is this coercion? Don't forget. I'm the emperor. Don't vent your anger on me. You're the emperor. It's up to you how to deal with it. In order to screw up discipline, and fight against corruption, the following officials will be punished. Zhao Zhou, prefect of Chuzhou, misused public funds for his own benefits. He'll be dismissed. The censor Wu Fu tried to bribe the prime minister and ignore the law. He'll be sent to prison. The vice-prefect Liu Yang and the Hanlin Bachelor Li Zheng colluded in making profits for themselves. They'll be punished together. Chai Yuan, the Administrator of Jinhua, colluded with his friends in acquiring money from the national treasury. He'll be dismissed and decapitated in public. By the emperor himself. Your Excellency. The prime minister passed out. Your Excellency. Send for the doctor. Your Excellency, wake up. Your Majesty, the prime minister passed out because of the shock. He's fine now. You may leave. Yes. Leave. Your… Your Majesty. Please forgive me for being late. I… Why am I here? I even slept in Your Majesty's bed. Please forgive me for my big offense. Prime Minister. Do you still remember what happened in the hall today? The hall? Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I know I'm a sinful man. Please forgive me. Be up. I want to hear your explanation. Thanks, Your Majesty. I know I'm a sinful man. I don't like the cliche. Say something substantial. Yes. Your Majesty, here's the thing. After I got your order to do this task, I gathered the officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue and the head of the internal office which is in charge of construction, as well as official from relevant prefectures within five days, so as to explain to them clearly and work out how many men and provisions and how much money we'd need. Within these five days, I was going to gather all the skillful craftsmen of the country. To be an official, you don't know how to talk properly. You're only good at reciting the cliche of the report. Do you think I'm a fool? Of course not. I mean… I mean…Right. After I got your order, all my students and old friends in the imperial court heard the news. They came to give me a farewell dinner one by one. I… Just tell me directly during these days, whose invitation you accepted, whose gifts you received and whose wishes you promised to help with. No, I don't dare to do those things. But I had to accept their invitation. You had to? Did they threaten you by holding a knife against your neck and ask you to go? Your Majesty, you have no idea. I've got many students and old friends. They give me some help sometimes. I have to show them some respect. You have to show them some respect. What about your respect for me? I gave you such a huge project, because I thought you were a loyal and reliable old official in the court. But you… Before you arrived at Fengyang, you colluded with the corrupted officials on the way in the trade of power and money. You were going to pocket the money of the national treasury. No, Your Majesty. That's not true. Your Majesty. Your Majesty is very wise, hitting the nail on the head. To tell the truth, that's what I was being afraid of. Though I accepted their invitation, I didn't take bribes or promised them anything. I was so worried about this and got sick. That's why I came back halfway. I'm really incapable of doing this task. Your Majesty, please send another capable man to do this job. I'm really incapable of doing this task. I've also said this to Her Grace. I'm telling the truth. I'm not lying. I believe you. Thanks, Your Majesty! But you still need to go to Fengyang and build the tomb. Your Majesty! What? Do you want to disobey my order? No. Be up. Thanks, Your Majesty. I trust you. Today, in the hall, I punished those who came to fawn on you. I did it for the sake of you. I paved the way for you. I want all the country to know whoever it is and whatever his official post is, if anyone wants to pursue personal gains from the big project of construction, as long as I know it, he'll killed with no amnesty. Your Majesty is so wise. But I'm still capable of doing so. I… I understand your concern. The empress has told me about it. For the sake of the empress, I'll give you the death-free token. Thanks, Your Majesty! But you have to remember. This token is only used by you. It means, if your son or other family commit a crime, they'll be punished according to the law. Understand? Yes. Music
