Episode 67
The prince (king) my true integrity defamed, gave ear to slander, high his anger flamed.- Li Sao (The Grievances) by Qu Yuan
Ever since that day, when Zhang Yi and I completed our studies and began our undertakings
I knew there would be a day like this.
The Vertical alliance or Horizontal alliance, one would lose.
His Majesty was right.
What must be allied in the vertical alliance is not the six states, but the hearts of the people!
I only have one request...
Please stand.
Let him go.
My Lord! I may just be an attendant,
but I also understand what loyalty is.
If you die my lord, then I will not linger in this world either.
You must live!
You must take my eyes,
and see what sort of end this world will have.
Listen to me.
Teacher! Your disciple is unfilial.
I am coming to see you!
Go ahead.
Qu Manor
His Majesty listened to those deceitful words, Chu will be ruined in his hands sooner than later!
How nice he makes it sound, wanting to have a "beatific reign" and be a "beatific King". (T/N: idealized feudal government.- "beautiful governance")
To "seek high and low" with me,
"not fearing of dangers and hard work".
Joke, it's all a joke.
He is a fatuous and self-indulgent ruler!
Miss Mo Chou, it's great that you're here!
I'm finally saved.
What wrong with him?
Look at him. He's always grim and full of woe.
Mumbling all day long, my ears are developing calluses.
Please console him, you're probably the only one he'll listen to now.
I'll leave him to you then, I'll head off.
Go.
Now that His Majesty has been bewitched by Zhang Yi's tricks,
what use is there in you throwing tantrums at home?
Why don't we try to think if there's any other methods,
perhaps there's still room to turn it around.
Turn it around?
He thought that breaking ties with Qi is not enough and even sent someone to insult Qi.
How laughable.
Do you think Qi would believe Chu anymore?
Zhang Yi is still in Chu, we can capture him,
this would give a clear signal to Qi.
But would His Majesty agree to this?
If His Majesty actually listened to us, would Chu and Qi ever have come to this?
Your Highness.
Lord Fan, in terms of resourcefulness and tact, you are no less skillful than Zhang Yi.
What you lack is his ambition.
I am not ambitious, my Lady.
If my Lady wishes that I have ambition
then my ambitions are quite wild as well.
Excellent.
In the last few years, Zhang Yi has become more and more arrogant.
This person is after all not one of virtue,
his heart is hard to restrain.
My Lady, you mean...?
Do you not wish to take over?
I shall listen to your orders, my Lady.
I will naturally suggest to His Majesty to make you Prime Minister.
however, you ought to do something for me as well.
I understand what it is on your mind, my Lady.
Lord Fan, oh Lord Fan.
Your ambition is indeed quite wild.
I believe you're the old fox in this court.
I've always made plans for you my Lady,
but Ying Dang is still the eldest Prince.
We must not leave any traces.
Ying Dang has always liked martial arts,
and to show off his natural strength.
I know of a kind of medicine, if taken long term,
would weaken the body and lose strength in the limbs.
We can put it in his daily meals.
When the time comes, we just have to wait for the opportunity to act.
We'll do as you say,
Prime Minister Fan.
Did you hear something?
No...
Did I hear wrong?
Lan Tai Palace
Guards! Guards!!
Catch the assassins!
Catch the assassins!
Over there! Don't run!
Don't run!
After them!
After them!
- Your Majesty! - What's happened?
Your Majesty just now some thieves broke in. Luckily the palace guards came in time.
Thieves? Where are they?
They've gotten away.
So many people and you still allowed them to get away?
Useless!
If something like this happens again, I'll behead you!
Yes.
Courier Hostel
To think that back then when this He Family Jade ( He Shi Bi ) was lost,
everyone said it was I who stole it.
Now, I am finally true to my infamy.
Sir, Chu's national treasure being lost just like this,
would His Majesty suspect you?
Do you think that Grand Adviser Shang is that stupid?
If he can forge one He Shi Bi ,
can he not forge a second one?
Take this pair of "Dragon and Phoenix" mirrors to him.
Prime Minister, are you really going to send it?
How can I break my own promises?
Yes.
Sir you are leaving tomorrow.
Once parted, we've not met for many years.
I know that in this world,
perhaps you're the only one who's true to me.
Does Xiong Huai treat you well?
His Majesty treats me very well.
But now in matters in life or death, I am of the State of Qin.
I have no other thought.
Sir, when can I return to Qin?
When Chu is destroyed, that is the time of your return.
Sir, do you know that my only wish
is to live together with you?
When the world is at peace
I will travel the world and live out the rest of my life with you.
Prime Minister, why are the Chu people so easy to deceive?
The only person who can go against me in this large state is Qu Yuan.
Now that Xiong Huai has demoted him,
how can Chu not be destroyed at my hands?
Lan Tai Palace
Grand Shaman, is there something you want from me?
I heard that yesterday thieves entered Lan Tai Palace.
Yes, but luckily we didn't lose anything.
Chu's Royal Palace. The palace where Your Majesty rests.
Yet thieves could enter and leave as they please.
Your Majesty, do you not think this is somewhat suspicious?
And why is it they came just when Zhang Yi arrived?
Not earlier or later?
He's always had designs on this He Shi Bi .
Grand Shaman, his Majesty is upset with this as well.
Since the He Shi Bi was not lost, what need is there to bring it up again?
What do you want say?
I don't want to say anything today,
I just want Your Majesty to have a look at something.
Do you still remember this Jinchu staff, Your Majesty?
Is this not the Jinchu staff that's placed in the Grand Hall? Why is it with you, Grand Shaman?
I specially went to get it this morning.
So that Your Majesty can have a look at it and think about
what was said before this Staff in the past.
Grand Shaman, how dare you!
No matter how daring I am, I am still not as daring as Your Majesty.
You Majesty dares to once again believe in that Zhang Yi,
who has deceived Chu multiple times before.
Even less is Your Majesty afraid of the citizens' opinions.
What is there to fear from this Jingchu staff that can't even speak?
Does Your Majesty still remember
how you asked for the Jingchu punishment before all the court officials after the defeat at Han Gu Pass?
From this day forth, this Jingchu baton,
will be placed upon Court wall!
With the Jingchu staff placed here, it's equivalent to the ancestors of Chu sitting before us,
like the eyes of the citizens of Chu looking at us.
If anyone were to lead the country astray, to corrupt the State, bring disaster and calamity to the State,
then they can come
and receive the Jingchu punishment themselves!
But on that day, Vice Chancellor Qu still became soft-hearted
and did not execute the punishment in the end.
If Vice Chancellor Qu knew of the things that are happening today,
perhaps he'll regret that he didn't execute the punishment back then.
Grand Shaman! You!
I heard that,
at the time Vice Chancellor Qu advised
that the Jingchu staff be placed in the Grand Hall.
In the hope that everyone from Your Majesty,
to the ministers and all citizens,
would have a Jingchu staff within their own hearts with which to caution themselves.
To keep in mind the dangers while living in peace, to reflect and examine oneself.
But in the last few years,
has Your Majesty really considered the threats while living in peace? Reflected or self-examined?
Have you lived up to the hopes of Qu Yuan? The hopes of the citizens?
Grand Shaman! His Majesty has worried daily for national affairs...
Has Your Majesty really worried for the State?
In my eyes,
Your Majesty is unable to differentiate between the right and the wrong, or between friend and enemy.
Qu Yuan's heart and soul is with the State, yet how desolate is his situation now?
On the other hand, Zhang Yi repeatedly deceived Your Majesty, but Your Majesty chooses to repeatedly believe him.
Now Your Majesty has believed Zhang Yi again, and offended the State of Qi.
Thrusting Chu into a state of isolation.
If Qin and Chu battle once again,
who can Chu rely on?
Your Majesty, do you not fear the anger of the citizens?
Do you not fear the blame of Chu's ancestors?
Did Qu Yuan have you say these things?
This is what all those who love Chu wish to say to you.
Your Majesty, I hope that you can really consider the threats while living in peace,
reflect and self-examine.
What Qu Yuan wishes to say to you are all in here.
Subtitles and Timing Brought To You By The Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Qin, is a nation of savages.
Their intent to take over the world is clear to all.
Qin has not dared to attack Chu
only because of it's fear of the Qi-Chu alliance.
If the alliance between Qi and Chu falls apart,
and Chu fights Qin, it's nothing but throwing eggs at stones.
When Qin's cavalry sweeps down south-east,
Chu will not even be able to protect itself,
what effort could we spare for that six hundred li of land in Shan Yu?
Qin has long been faithless; moreover, their Prime Minister Zhang Yi
is both the most vile of morals and cunning.
To negotiate an alliance with them, how is it different to asking a tiger for it's pelt?
The day the Qi-Chu alliance is renounced
will be the day Chu is threatened by enemies on all fronts, the day Chu breaks our promise to the world.
Your Majesty, you must bear this in mind!
Summon Qu Gai! Chase him down!
Chase Zhang Yi down and bring him back!
Prime Minister, there seem to be soldiers chasing us!
Has that Xiong Huai regretted his decision?
How far are we from the Qin-Chu border?
Less than ten li . The Grand General is guarding the border.
Protect the He Family Jade.
Does Grand General Qu wish to invade Qin?
Prime Minister Zhang, His Majesty is summoning you.
There are important matters he wishes to discuss with you.
The alliance between Qin and Chu is already set.
What else is more important than this?
I shall visit at a later date. You should return, General.
Your Majesty, eat a little.
How could I believe Zhang Yi so easily?
I must have gone crazy.
Your Majesty, Zhang Yi lied to you.
It is not your fault.
Who else can I trust now?
Would you lie to me?
Your Majesty, if one day,
I lie to you too, would you hate me?
You won't lie to me.
You are the woman I love most.
-Your Majesty. -Your Majesty.
You couldn't catch him?
When I caught up to Zhang Yi, he was already close to the Qin-Chu border.
However, Bai Qi was already there waiting for him
and saved Zhang Yi!
Command Pang Hou Chou and hurry to Qin Kingdom.
Yes!
Zhang Yi...went back to the State of Qin.
Your Majesty,
are you really going to destroy the State of Chu?
Why didn't you listen to me?
It's the heavens' will!
Who are you?
I am Pang Hou Chou, I'm here to see your Prime Minister.
Please send the message.
I am sorry, Ambassador Pang, but you came at just the wrong time.
My master traveled far and is feeling unwell.
You should come again when my master feels better. Please go back.
Then...then what about the six hundred li of land he promised?
Enough, enough. I told you.
Did you not understand what I said, or was I not clear enough?
The Prime Minister is unwell and cannot see guests. Please go back.
This..! You..!
Close the door. Please go back.
You-! This-!
Prime Minister, this time you have showed your hard work.
The King will definitely highly reward you.
As I see it, the King should give you a big villa.
Only that can match your great deed.
What use is a big villa?
The Qin palace is big.
But can it hold the world's treasure, the He Shi Bi ?
Let me ask you.
Apart from Emperor Zhou's Jiu Ding , (T/N nine tripod ceremonial cauldrons from Yu the Great, circa 2200 BCE)
what can compare to the He Shi Bi ?
Prime Minister, can we take a look at the He Shi Bi ?
- That's right! - Right!
This is the world's treasure.
Is it for the likes of you to look upon it?
What is the rush to see me?
Your Majesty, I heard that Zhang Yi at his home today
held a feast, bragging about the He Shi Bi .
If he wants to brag, he can.
Don't you know his habits by now?
But...the He Shi Bi is the world's treasure.
How could an official keep it?
Since he got it,
then if he wants to keep it, just let him.
If he just liked it, then it's fine.
But..but he's using it to make a fuss!
What did he say?
He said that his home is small but it can hold the world's treasure,
unlike the Qin palace, which cannot even keep one He Shi Bi in it.
Your Majesty, Zhang Yi is so disrespectful.
Your Majesty, please think again!
A man of genius is a man of great pride.
That is understandable.
Your Majesty, the one he regards lowly is you.
Your Majesty!
I believe that Zhang Yi
wouldn't be so foolish to that extent.

Has your master's illness not healed yet?
Not yet.
Then...please tell him again.
It's already been over a month!
The King of Chu has already given three high commands.
If the Prime Minister won't give Chu an answer,
it will be hard for me to report back.
The Prime Minister didn't say he won't see you.
The Prime Minister is not well enough to see guests.
Please go back, Ambassador Pang.
But-! This-!
Enough enough, please go back.
This-!
Master, the Chu ambassador has left.
But if he comes again,
what should we do?
Tell me.
Could they...could they really
think that we'd give them six hundred li of land?
Six hundred li ?
Do you believe it?
No! No!
Xiong Huai isn't even smarter than a bird.
Prime Minister Zhang Yi's Manor
Prime Minister! You've finally appeared!
No rush, no rush. I just woke up and heard the servants come to report.
They said that you've been waiting here for many days.
Come in and rest for a while.
There's no need. I've waited here for over a month.
Prime Minister, you agreed to give the State of Chu six hundred li of land.
When will you keep your word?
Six hundred li of land?
Did I ever say that?
I don't remember.
Prime Minister, you cannot go back on your word.
At the beginning, you clearly said
that you'd use six hundred li of land as part of the request to ally Qin and Chu.
Why don't I remember that?
Zhang Yi! As Prime Minister, how can you go back on your word?
Everyone is watching!
Everyone?
Everyone knows that the Chu and Qi Kingdoms have fallen apart.
Now, everyone deeply hates your State of Chu.
You should cooperate properly with the State of Qin.
That is the smart choice.
-Zhang Yi! -How about this?
Go back and tell your King.
I cannot make decisions on six hundred li of land.
-But I still have... - Six li of land.
I still have six li of land.
If the King of Chu wants it, I will hand it over.
You-!
I still have things to do. I take my leave.
Zhang Yi! You have gone too far!
Six li of land.
Prime Minister, you really are going to make Xiong Huai furious.
Xiong Huai is an idiot. He asked for it.
In the end, your plan is best.
Apart from Qu Yuan, who else can command me?
Your Majesty, now we can prepare the army and welcome Chu's attack.
King Huai of Chu has a small heart. He will will not let go of this insult.
As you see it, how are we going to win this battle?
Do not worry, Your Majesty.
With me here for one day, the State of Qin won't have to worry for a month.
How could Xiong Huai be my match?
This means we can directly defeat the Chus?
Not quite.
This battle isn't to destroy Chu.
We just need to knock them over.
Make Xiong Huai unable to talk about cooperation anymore.
Then our Great Qin can have the opportunity to unite the three districts.
When we have united the three districts we can defeat the Chu and Qin Kingdoms.
When that time comes, Qin will rule the world.
Your Majesty!
How did it go?
Zhang Yi...is a liar!
Zhang Yi went back on his word?
I stayed a whole month outside his home!
He closed his doors and wouldn't leave!
Later on, he finally came to see me.
But he lied and said he never made that promise!
He even...he even said...!
What else did Zhang Yi say?
He even said, he doesn't have six hundred li of land.
He only has six li of land!
If we want it, Your Majesty can take it right away!
I already said that this person cannot be trusted!
But someone insisted on speaking on his behalf!
Grand Adviser Shang!
Just what is your motive?
Grand Adviser Shang, what time is it now? Say something!
Your Majesty, I was also tricked by Zhang Yi!
Your Majesty, please spare me!
Qu Gai, hear my command.
I am here!
Travel throughout the night to Qin! Fight to the death!
I want Zhang Yi to be shredded to pieces!
Yes!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you cannot be rash! You cannot send soldiers to Qin!
Shut up!
If you dare say any more, I will have you beheaded!
Orchid Dais Palace
You want me to give up on sending out soldiers?
Yes.
Zhang Yi played me in the palm of his hand.
If I don't get revenge, what shall happen to my reputation?
What shall happen to my country's reputation?
Your Majesty, what time is it now? You're still thinking about reputation?
Let me ask you. Is reputation more important, or our people's safety more important?
Stop talking. I've already made up my mind.
That day, about the disputed lands, you didn't listen to me.
Do you want the same thing to happen again?
Will you not be satisfied if you don't see Chu destroyed?
Qu Yuan, you are dictating again!
Your Majesty, all that you have done has been careless to the country
and the people's safety!
Just let me say it and then you can become blind and deaf!
Enough!
You must be clear who you're talking to!
-Your Majesty. -Shut up!
Whoever talks about not sending soldiers to Qin,
will become like that with this sword!
Orchid Dais Palace
We've already done all we should and could.
Now we can only listen to heaven's will.
"Listen to heaven's will"?
Are we going to watch the King continue down the wrong path
yet do nothing about it?
Things change. The more you say and do now,
the more angry the King will get and push you further away,
and the more danger you'll be in. Do you understand?
I understand. But I no longer care about my life or death.
I already gave my whole body to the State of Chu.
Qu Yuan. It's been so many years already.
When can you learn to calm down?
If it really is as you say, then I'm not Qu Yuan.
Big Sister Ying.
Big Sister Ying.
The King has ordered an attack on the State of Qin.
Stop talking.
That has nothing to do with me.
The battle between Qin and Chu,
I'm afraid it is only until one is destroyed,
then it will end.
River Algae Palace
Your Majesty, my army is prepared for battle. Please give the order.
While you are away you will not hear my orders.
I will leave army matters completely up to you.
I will not disappoint you, Your Majesty!
Wait!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! You must not start a war! You must not!
What are you doing?
Big Brother! Have you gone crazy?
Beloved Subject Qu, just rest here.
You don't need to worry about this.
Your Majesty, the six hundred li of land was a evil plot.
Making us send out soldiers is also an evil plot!
Your Majesty has already made a mistake once! You must not fall into Zhang Yi's trap again!
Such cowardice! How can you avenge your father and brother?
How is the King's hatred to be eased?
So what if it's a trap? We'll defeat them all!
If Your Majesty insists on starting a war,
then step over my body first!
You-!
You think I wouldn't dare?
Men! Drag Qu Yuan out!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You cannot start a war!
Your Majesty! Don't!
Set out!
Don't, Your Majesty!
Set out!
Uncle, come back!
You cannot go!
