SUBTITLES BY Babel Fansub www.facebook.com/BabelSub Subbers : Tangtang, Hakovip Joy Of Life Episode 26 Dad, you want me? You’re back. Come and sit. The negotiations in Honglu Temple is over. You need to keep modest in the palace tomorrow. Do you refer to the banquet tomorrow night? Is there any problem? It’s known that
The literary elites are all in Northern QI. In the early years, scholars even take pride in ranking in the imperial examination in Northern Qi. This situation has improved in recent years. However, when it comes to the scholars, our country is always inferior in this respect. Nowadays, our country’s literary arena puts all hope
On you. Me? The literary arena? Few days ago, the poem you write, A thousand miles from home, is rated first of seven-character-ancient-verse by scholars of our dynasty. In private, a lot of people talk about you. They say that you have such achievement at your age
That you may not be inferior to Zhuang Mohan. I wrote only one poem. It’s too sloppy. A poem is indeed less, but our country hopes for literature development just like hoping for a good rain after a lasting drought. They just make every possible effort. Then I…. You’re the possible hope. So tomorrow night
All the people will watch the PK between Zhuang Mohan, the literary master, and me. We don’t expect you to rack your brain to utter astonishing words. You just have to behave gracefully. That’s enough. Will you go there tomorrow evening? Tomorrow’s banquet is prepared for the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites.
I’m the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I have no need to go. Take it easy. Just to remind you one thing. How would people like Zhuang Mohan with such social status make you younger generation feel awkward? Fan Xian will also come to the banquet tomorrow night.
Please ruin his reputation, Mr. Zhuang. You’ve put on the red lantern. There has been so many years, uncle. I’ve always wondered if you could see. Why do you know I hang up the lantern? Even about the color of the lantern? It’s hard to explain. I could know all this,
But not by the eyes. The eyes of heart? I don’t know how to say. Uncle, You’ve always been so mysterious. If anyone dares to provoke you, he must want to die. Please sit down. Please. Let’s come to the point. Tomorrow night,
The royal family will hold a banquet in the hall of Prayer for Good Harvest. The hall of Prayer for Good Harvest? What does it to do with Wang Qinian? With who? Wang Qinian. Uncle, I think you’re not only mysterious. Why are you thinking so rapidly these days? Thinking?
I don’t think the hall of Prayer for Good Harvest and Wang Qinian have any connections. Well. Let’s talk about the matter. Tomorrow’s banquet is intended for celebrating the decision of the war with Northern Qi. It’s a great event. Why don’t you ask the reason why I ask you here?
Won’t you tell me if I won’t ask you? You’re so reasonable. OK. After tomorrow’s banquet, let’s break into the imperial harem at night. Deal. After the great event, it’s just the time when the guard is relaxed. Ok. We’ll keep the plan. I lure away Hong Sixiang,
And you enter the Empress Dowager’s resting palace to find the key. And here’s the last question. I don’t know where will the Empress Dowager put the key. So it’ll cost some time to look for it. Under her pillow, on the bed board, there is a concealed cabinet. Everything important is in it.
How do you know? The Lady did it before. Why did mom search the concealed cabinet of the Empress Dowager? The old lady has lived alone for many years. She seems serious. However, in private maybe she would hide some love letters. This was what the Lady said. She did this just for the gossip?
To search the Empress Dowager’s belongs? Although I don’t understand what is gossip, you’re right. Didn’t anybody find her? It was me who was on the lookout. What’re you laughing for? I don’t know how to describe at the moment. To describe what? Don’t worry about that. To sum up, the biggest problem
Has been solved by my mother. Now we just need to confirm where the key is. I’m pretty sure I can get the key. It’s likely to be found by the old lady if you stole the key. I will put a fake one there. Without seeing the real one in advance,
How can you make a fake one? I have a method. OK. Wait here tomorrow night. Someone is coming. It’s my arrangement. You have an arrangement? My lord! Come in. You ask me to come late at night. What can I do for you? I have something to ask you. Please, my lord.
What do you do with the hall of Prayer for Good Harvest? There should be nothing. All right. What’re you talking about? Nothing. Suit yourself. You’re so polite. I’ll just stand. My lord. I heard that in the Honglu Temple you’ve made the mission of Northern Qi threatened, making a great contribution to our country.
Tomorrow night I’ll attend the banquet. You have such heroic appearance, my lord, it’s just around the corner to get a great promotion. Is this money for me? Yes. Thanks, my lord. My lord. The next time when you reward me, you’d better give me bank notes. It’s more convenient for me to hide.
Then I’ll break into the imperial harem at night. My lord. What? I say I’ll break into the imperial harem, and then enter the Empress Dowager’s resting palace to steal a key. And of course, in order not to be found out by the old lady,
I need to make a fake one through the night and put it back. That’s probably the plan. You’re just kidding. No. Are you serious? Of course. It’s a crime incurring extermination. Maybe. Then why do you tell me about this matter? I have told you before that
I need to make a fake key through the night. I have to find the best key maker in the capital city. I’m not familiar with the capital city. So I need to find a knowledgeable person. It’s you. If I were involved, then I would also become a criminal.
You just help me find a key maker and make a key. You know nothing else about this matter. Right, You should just tell me to find a key maker. Why did you tell me about the whole plan? I would have said that. But I can’t.
Tomorrow you need to wait for me outside the royal palace. My lord! Aren’t you afraid that I will report you? You trust me so much that you even risk your life on me? Of course I do. You’re clever. You should know that helping me just takes a little risk.
If you ruin my plan, then you’ll have no way to go except to die. What do you mean? You know how Chen Pingping treat me. The Chief Justice treats you as if you were his nephew. So… if I turn you in and let you die,
The Chief Justice surely will cut me into pieces. See, you are so clever. Then why don’t you let him help you? Sometimes it’s not convenient for the big shot to do such thing. What can I say? Whatever. I know a good locksmith. Good. Tell him wait for me tomorrow night. Ok.
From now on, you get a raise by ten taels each mouth. With such a dangerous crime I just get 10 taels? It’s too humble. Reject? No! Use bank notes next time. What time is it now? 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Does the hall of Prayer for Good Harvest start decorating?
Yes. Early in the morning the hall begins to prepare for the banquet. Arrange a seat for me. It’s just for the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites. It’s not that important. Just do it. Yes. I can’t wait. I have already known that the night banquet starts at about 5 pm.
Your Highness, you eat so much now. In the banquet how can you eat? Such banquet is just for drinking and singing a song of praise. How can I eat enough? That’s right. Such banquet is just a ritual. Your Highness have no need to attend it. Fan Xian did well on his first task.
Of course I should congratulate him in person. Didn’t Fan Xian join the Crown Prince’s team? Who said that? Otherwise, how could the Crown Prince let him negotiate with the Northern Qi’s delegation? It’s impossible for a person like Fan Xian to be brought under control by the Crown Prince.
I have just seen him a few times. But I regard him as my confidant. As for Fan Xian, he has the same temperament as me. He is not willing to be inferior. How long does His Highness stand here? An hour already. To avoid folds on his clothes. What time is it now?
Your Highness, it’s already 5 p.m. Set out to the hall of Prayer for Good Harvest. OK. Mr. Zhuang, the carriage is ready. We can leave now. Let me take this for you. My lord, I have already arranged the locksmith. Good. Let’s drink. Lord Fan! Lord Fan! Mr. Xin!
We seems to be destined to meet. Yeah! Mr. Fan, why don’t you wear the official uniform? It’s just a dinner. I’m not important. Well, then I must offer you more wine. My lord, regular interrogation. You can’t take any sharp weapon to the palace. Why do I take the weapon to the banquet?
Mr. Fan, please listen. The rites and music is prepared by the Ministry of Rites. Does needle count? Steel needle with such length. Yes. Please wait. Now there’s none. Mr. Xin, let’s go. I was being assassinated before, got to be cautious. Yeah, you should be. You’re right. Can I take some poisons?
The poisons? No! No! No! Fan Xian. Your Highness. What are you doing? Don’t touch it! It’s the poison made by myself. Not allowed in. You’re worthy of Fei Jie’s apprentice. Can it kill people? Of course it can. Give me some. No. Why? If something happes to Your Highness or Crown Prince,
I can’t explain. All right. Fan Xian, you’ve made such great contribution this time. You’re promising, congratulations! Thank you, Your Highness. Contact more often, so that I can help you in the imperial court. You’re so polite. Your Highness! You work in the Honglu Temple. Your name is Wang….. Xin. Xin…Xin…Xin… Xin Qiwu.
I remember that you work for the Crown Prince. We are courtiers, courtiers. In the future, if you get bad with the Crown Prince, you can turn to me. I think I’m done now. I’m clean now. Don’t touch them. Several of them have no antidote. Mr. Xin. What are you thinking?
Do you know why the Second Prince come to the banquet? Of course to recruit some great talents like you, Mr. Xin. You make fun of me again, Mr. Fan. The Second Prince intends to recruit you. Why would he want me? Your Highness. Please listen to my explanation. I, Xin Qiwu will absolutely be
Loyal to you. I mustn’t change my position. Your Highness! Your Highness. I can prove that. Just now the Second Prince do want to persuade him, but Mr. Xin remains loyal to you. He do refuse. Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you for you generous. You’re so polite. Take easy. His Highness is generous.
Yes! Yes! Yes! There’s some problem, Mr. Fan. Just now what the Second Prince says is for you. Then why do you help me to get rid of the relationship now? There’s no difference. No, there is, my lord. The Chief Princess also arrived. Do you still have the courage to see me, thief?
Who are you? How absurd! That day it was you who did the violence. Now you stand here and pretend not to know me. Mr. Guo! Long time no see. See, you’ve almost recovered. Nice. How dare you to forget me? Please be careful of your words. You’re like a old woman complaining.
You evil thief! What you have done are kept in my mind. You’re becoming more like a bitch. You…Why do you come here?…..Why do he come here? He…..he…he I’m the compilation of the palace. And my father is the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Why can’t I come here?
No, you can, you can. The dishes are on the way. – Mr. Guo, please sit down. – Don’t be smug. Fan Xian, I tell you, I’m going to witness your failure and losing all standing and reputation in this place. Silly. Father. What’s the occasion here? Go back and sit. Yes.
My son is rude. Please forgive him, Lord Fan. You are… This is the minster of the Ministry of Rites. Guo Youzhi, Lord Guo. You are the minister. Take easy, my lord. Your son is so naughty and lovely that I’m not angry at all. All right. Come on. Come on. Don’t look around.
These are our seats. Come on, this way. We should sit here. Come on, please sit. Please sit. Mr. Fan, please sit. Mr. Fan. Guo Baokun also works for the Crown Prince. I think it’s better for you two to reconcile. I’m OK. Please look at him. Take your time, it will get better.
My lord, my lord. You do beat him? What do you say? I’ve read the book of saints since I was a child. I am always disciplined and polite. How would I beat people? How about the other day you killing a master from Northern Qi right on the street. The wine tastes good.
Yeah, yeah, it’s good. Xin. There still exist two empty seats there. For whom? Maybe for the two great litterateurs from Dongyi and Northern Qi. Zhuang Mohan comes from the Northern Qi. Who represents Dongyi? Dongyi…. Mr. Fan. Mr. Fan. Are you OK? Why can this person enter the palace with a sword?
Si Gujian’s apprentices always keep a sword. It’s specially approved by His Majesty. Si Gujian’s apprentice? He is the chief apprentice of Si Gujian, the master. Yun Zhilan. Yun Zhilan? That day in the street the two female assassins you killed were his apprentice. This time Dongyi send delegation
To the capital city mainly because of this. Does he sell wine? I haven’t heard it. Why do you ask, my lord? It sounds like the name of wine. Really? Lord Fan, the Chief Princess requires you to come. She has something to say. Come over here. These days
I’ve been waiting for you to kill me. Why is there no movement? Don’t worry, Your Highness. Ready to move. If you swear to be loyal to me, I will arrange Waner to marry you. And so does the royal treasury rights. There’s more you want.
What if I want you to get out of the capital city? Great aspirations! You should give it a try. I will live up to your expectations. Fan Xian and aunt have a good time talking. I don’t know what they’re talking about. What does this have to do with me?
You want to recruit Fan Xian to work for you. How about making a bet? Let’s see who he’s going to lean on. What is your bet? The life? It seems that this joke I made is not polite. Please forgive me, Your Highness. I agree. Zhuang Mohan has arrived.
You haven’t seen Mr. Zhuang before, right? It may be the destiny. Northern Qi has such a master in the literature arena. For decades, he translates scriptures and annotations. His books are piled up almost as high as he is. In a way, he is even stronger than the Emperor.
With so much knowledge to pass down Doesn’t the old man think it’s too heavy? If the scholars hear what you say, they will criticizing you for not respecting sages. Why would I admit that I have said these words? I hear that somebody puts the hope on you
And wishes you could become a master in the literature arena. You may not wish me so, Your Highness. Well, Mr. Zhuang is arrived. It’s time to begin the banquet. Go back to your seat. I’m leaving, Your Highness. I have already offered you the opportunity. It’s you yourself who don’t want it.
His Majesty comes! This way, this way, this way. Long live the Emperor! Rise. Yes, My Majesty. His Majesty has arrived. The people on duty today, including the maids, eunuchs and the imperial guards, have you ever investigated them? Yes. They are all innocent. No suspects. Does anyone in the palace appear to be suspicious?
Yes. Fan Xian. According to the Imperial Guard Office, He brought a short blade and poisons with himself. How about Zhuang Mohan? Zhuang Mohan only takes a roll of old paper to the palace. My people have checked it and there’s nothing in it. I think.. Zhuang Mohan is not a man of martial arts.
There should not happen big problems. Does Yun Zhilan take the sword to the palace? Yes. However, Yun Zhinan has studied from Si Gujian. He should have no connections with Zhuang Mohan. What if Yun Zhilan use his sword to kill His Majesty, who can stop him?
Hong Sixiang, Hong Gonggong, is waiting outside the palace. Serve the dishes! Hong Gonggong, it’s just a night owl. Mr. Guo! Assistant Minister Fan? Mr. Fan, His Majesty is calling you! Me? Calling me? For what? The assistant minister of the Taichang Temple. It’s the official name. Your Majesty.
You haven’t knelt down for the several times we met. I think you may remain standing this time. Isn’t it going to stir up the public anger? You seem to be in a trance. You’re quite fond of wine? Your Majesty, the scene is so grand that I’m a little nervous. Yun Zhilan!
It’s him who killed your two apprentices. I know. He is young, but he’s a bit of a genius. Call him genius when he kill me. The apprentice of Si Gujian is surely proud. I get it. Fan Xian, The Honglu Temple sends the report.
It says that you have done a very good job. The war started and ended by you. I won’t praise you in public. Come here, drink with me. Please wait, Assistant Minister Fan. Your Majesty, I have something to say. Go on. In addition to his excellent martial arts,
Fan Xian is also outstanding in literary talent. I admire his poetic talent. Recently I heard that when negotiated with Northern Qi, he was neither humble nor arrogant. He deserves more responsibility. Talk straight. It’s good for him to preside over the imperial examination next year. The young talent elects worldwide students
Is a good story if it’s put in history. Although Fan Xian has such reputation, he lacks of experience. Your Majesty, though Fan Xian isn’t experienced, we can’t ignore his talent. I also advocate that Fan Xian should preside over the imperial examination. Well… How could he? There’s still time for the exam. Just wait.
Go back to your seat. Your Majesty, is this young man Fan Xian? Does Mr. Zhuang know him, too? I’ve read his poem. Although he is young, he has some talent for poetry. Please try to help the younger generation, Mr. Zhuang. I used to be an official of Qi.
I should not have talked so much about Qing. However, the imperial examination is the root of success of the worldwide scholars. Choosing the person in charge should be quite cautious. That’s right, Mr. Zhuang. The matter of the imperial examination can’t be too careful. Mr. Zhuang learns from the past and the present.
I always admire him. But I don’t agree with what he says just now. Though I’m a female with superficial knowledge, I’ve read Fan Xian’s seven-character-poetry. He is very young, but this poem alone shows his outstanding talent. Mr. Zhuang, what you said just now is aimed at Fan Xian.
Are you worried about that the young man will catch up from behind, and his reputation will surpass yours? All of you are the most trustworthy ministers and famous scholars. Naturally, you don’t like to argue. I’m lack of etiquette, but I’m willing to say a fair word for our talents.
Do you mean that seven-character-poetry? Yes. Sorry, Mr. Zhuang. Which poem of yours can surpass this one wrote by Fan Xian? Yunrui, don’t be rude in the palace. Mr. Zhuang, you are so broad-minded, don’t care about such words. The wind so swift, the sky so wide, apes wail and cry;
Water so clear and beach so white, birds wheel and fly. The boundless forest sheds its leaves shower by shower; The endless river rolls its waves hour after hour. A thousand miles from home, I’m grieved at autumn’s plight; Ill now and then for years, alone I’m on this height,
Living in times so hard, at frosted hair I pine; Cast down by poverty, I have to give up wine. It’s really a good poem. I have written the poem through my life, and there is none could be comparable to it. So, do you candidly admit defeat, Mr. Zhuang?
The first four sentences of the poem are excellent. But it can be said that the essence of this poem are in the last four sentences. The last four sentences surely are good. Unfortunately, he didn’t write those. Did Fan Xian copy from others? Yes. I also think it’s strange.
How could he have such great talent? Fan Xian. What do you want to say? Mr. Zhuang can say whatever he likes. Anyway, he has high prestige. Even if it’s empty talk, it counts. Your Majesty, I can prove that Fan Xian’s poem was written during the Poetry Club in Prince Jing’s mansion.
At that time, Guo Baokun, the Palace compilation, was also at presence. He can be the witness. Is Guo Baokun here? Yes, I’m. Did Fan Xian himself write this poem? Yes. So you intended to frame him, Mr. Zhuang. Or he’s being hoodwinked by some villain. That’s why there’s this misunderstanding. Coincidentally,
The last four sentences of this poem were written by my teacher when he was visiting Tinzhou. It’s a good thing that such good sentences is known again. But Mr. Fan earned his reputation with other people’s poems. Isn’t that inappropriate? The essence of scholar’s spirit is that virtue values more than talent.
The first four sentences have showed Mr. Fan’s outstanding talent. You do have something special. Then why are you so greedy? Why did you use other’s poem to gain reputation? I hesitates again and again whether to tell. But when I think about it, telling the truth
Is also helping you return to the right track. There’s no making without breaking. Please re-establish morality and nourish your heart. Mr. Fan. This also shows my pity for your talent, with no malice. I hope you can reflect on yourself, Mr. Fan. Fan Xian, do you have anything to say? Mr. Zhuang,
Is your teacher’s name Du? No. All right. Mr. Zhuang always has a reputation for honoring the teachers. I don’t think he would use his teacher’s reputation to brag. However, a man’s mind is unpredictable Seeing the younger students rising to fame, you are probably unwilling to accept it.
So you decide to make things up and ruin his future. Chief Princess, Do you suspect that I frame up the younger generation in the name of my teacher? No, I dare not to. It’s just our country is different from Northern Qi. Law is the most important thing.
If you want to prove one’s crime, empty words are not enough for evidence. That’s right, Chief Princess. Please look. This was written by my teacher. Can it be used as evidence? These are indeed the four sentences. Chinese TV Series Exclusive YouTube
