Episode 61
Those servant maids were envious of my good looks, spreading lies and slandering me that I'm good in doing lewd and immoral business. - Li Sao (The Grievances) by Qu Yuan
Alright, it's time you should go. The sun is about to rise.
Let me stay a little longer.
Hurry and go back!
You still have to help Lan'er.
If Lan'er becomes the crown prince,
you'll get plenty of benefits in the future.
Alright. I'll go take a look at Big Brother's place first.
That's right. Prince Zi Lan has a letter for you.
From Lan'er?
What's with this blood letter?
Zi Heng's uncle Jia Chang An killed a pregnant woman there.
He killed two lives at once.
That Zi Heng. It looks like this time
he has no fate with the crown prince position.
But...I know Zi Heng's personality well.
How could he spare Jia Chang An?
According to the rules, he should have killed Jia Chang An.
Prince Zi Heng did want to severely punish Jia Chang An,
but he was saved by Prince Zi Lan.
Zi Lan?
That Lan'er. He's finally getting smart.
I don't understand. Why did Prince Zi Lan want to protect Jia Chang An?
Did the people in this matter really write this blood letter?
I don't know.
Alright. Hurry and go.
Take care.
Be careful on the road.
Wait for me to come back.
Vice Chancellor, you mean you want to create a youth army here?
Precisely. I went through the name book yesterday
and discovered that there were over a thousand slaves under twenty years of age.
Most of them wander freely down the street.
As time passes by, they will gang up and cause trouble.
I thought about how to gather all of them together.
Study books, practice fighting, and give them a monthly wage.
This way, we can bridge the gap between the nobles and the slaves.
And it will also enable the slaves to practice studying and get motivated,
and prepare for the time they will be required.
Gathering the slaves together
and beyond teaching them to read and to fight, also paying them monthly,
this will naturally be a good thing.
And the slaves will respond to it well.
-But... -Go ahead.
What if people will say that you, Vice Chancellor Qu, gather the masses to cause trouble and raise a private army?
That would be horrible for you.
I get quite a lot of criticism anyway.
Even if it's like that, training those slaves will not be cheap.
Just based on my little magistrate's office,
I'm afraid success will be difficult.
I will take out my personal money.
It should be enough for some time.
This...this wouldn't be right.
Money is only a worldly thing. It will be all spent one day.
My wife has already discussed this with me. There is no need to discuss it further.
But training new soldiers will need a huge capital investment.
Just based on your small wealth,
I fear that it will be hard to sustain it.
Please think again, Vice Chancellor Qu.
Something has happened! Something has happened!
-What happened? -A fight broke out!
-Who was hit? -Many nobles!
-Who did the hitting? -Those slaves, for a piece of land!
This-!
We were just saying there is no money. In the blink of an eye, money brought itself to us.
Based on what can you steal away our land?
-That's right! -It's our land!
Everyone listen to me.
It's just a piece of land. Why get so angry?
Vice Chancellor Qu! Right now, those slaves are becoming more and more arrogant.
They even dare to steal my land!
You must get justice for us!
I really want to interfere, unfortunately, I can't.
Huh? You can't?
Why not? You dealt with us in the past!
- Why can't you deal with a few slaves now? - That's right!
That's different.
You all stole away this land to start with.
The bad things you've done,
you must pay for them yourselves.
You stole their rice bowl.
Besides stealing yours, what else can they do?
What are you saying? Vice Chancellor Qu! We came to air our grievances today!
Why are you talking like those robbers?
What? Those people that stole from us are now in the right?
While we who were robbed are unreasonable?
Isn't that right?
Besides, if I can deal with this, I can't deal with the next problem.
Vice Chancellor Qu! As you say it, we deserve to get bad luck!
- That's right! - Right!
Everyone calm down, calm down!
I don't want to see everyone getting bullied by stronger individuals.
How about this? Let me give you an idea.
See what you think. Each of you take out some money.
I'll arrange for guards to watch your land. How about it?
Such an great thing can happen in this world?
Living and eating is included, and we get paid?
That's right, I've never seen something like that before!
That's right! It's true!
Magistrate must be joking with us.
How can money just fall from the sky?
Even if it happens, the money wouldn't come to us!
- That's right! - Of course, right!
This time, money really is falling from the sky!
Now let's see if you dare to take it!
- Why wouldn't we? - Of course we would!
But after you've gotten the money, you must be willing to be managed by the local government.
Every month, you must learn to read and use martial arts skills. Got it?
-I want to go! -That's interesting!
Twenty thousand is far from being enough.
At minimum, fifty thousand gold pieces is required.
Fifty thousand? What a joke!
Where are we going to get that much money?
That's right! Where are we going to get that much money?
Everyone. This fifty thousand gold pieces is the minimum.
Because they not only are guards for your houses and land.
They are also going to help you fight the Qin.
The Qin people?
-What do the Qin people have to do with us? -That's right! We're just farmers!
What do they have to do with us?
Everyone, Qin State currently keeps looking at our Chu nation with coveting and ferocious eyes.
If one day, the State of Qin really attacks,
we'll become a destroyed-country's slaves.
At that time, think about it. Will you all still have land?
That makes sense!
How about we just agree with it?
Deal! I accept!
I'll donate...five thousand!
Good!
I'll pay three thousand!
- I'll pay one thousand! - Then I'll pay two thousand!
- Four thousand! - Five thousand!
Grand Adviser Shang's Manor
Zi Lan gave you this?
Precisely.
The heavens are watching over us!
Jia Chang An killed two lives at once, it is a huge crime!
Zi Heng intended to severely punish his uncle,
but was stopped by Zi Lan.
If Zi Heng kills Jia Chang An, he gains great merit.
Since he didn't kill him, then he can't blame others.
Zi Lan's trick this time is amazing!
You don't feel like Zi Lan is becoming more like you?
Don't say that.
How could he be like me?
Alright, let's not talk about this.
Since we have this blood letter, no matter how capable Zi Heng is,
he'll never be the crown prince.
Since it is like that,
we cannot fail.
Quan County Magistrate Office
This time, making Quan County's slaves into a youth army,
won't only bridge the gap with the nobles.
It also solved a worry of mine.
I understand.
You understand?
Chu and Qin have been continuously fighting.
With this youth army,
even if Qin reaches here one day, the army would put up a good fight.
Isn't that what you're thinking?
Wife, when did you start understanding me so well?
In your heart,
do I really not understand you?
Yes.
The establishment of a youth army this time to prepare for rainy days
is also a good thing.
It's those children.
The eldest isn't over twenty. The youngest is only seven.
Really makes me unable to bear it.
That's right, Wife. How old is Shu'er?
Nine years old.
Nine years old? He's still a little young.
But...in your youth army,
isn't the youngest only seven?
Wife, you're saying we should let Shu'er join the youth army?
Isn't that what you're thinking?
I thought you wouldn't bear to let him go.
As a parent, who could bear to let their child go?
It's just, I know what you're thinking.
I hope Shu'er will earn great merit for the State of Chu after he grows up.
That is Husband's long cherished wish.
You know my heart so well.
With a wife like you, what else can a husband ask for?
It's just that...
you must promise me one thing.
Please go ahead.
I only have one son.
You must keep Shu'er safe.
What nonsense!
That Jia Chang An! As brother to the Queen, he dares to act like this?
He killed a pregnant woman?
He could even do such a despicable thing!
How embarrassing for the royal family!
Yes. Now that the people's blood letter has reached me,
if we don't give them an answer, I'm afraid...
And Zi Heng!
And to think I even regarded him highly!
I never imagined, that as the eldest prince,
he protects his uncle in the face of such great evil!
Maybe Prince Zi Heng was only considering their familial relation.
Family? Is family greater than the law?
Your Majesty, calm down. This matter must be further validated first.
Pass my order! Have both princes return to Yingdu immediately! I have things to ask of them!
Yes.
This blood letter couldn't be fake, could it?
Your Majesty, this blood letter is completely real.
But it's better not to let this matter get publicized first.
You can wait until both princes return before you decide.
The youths are like the origins of thousands of rivers,
the beginning sun of the morning.
Today, I am training child soldiers in the hopes that one day,
you can become our country's morning sun, its main support.
Some of you used to farm in between fields.
Some have wandered in the streets.
Today, since you entered the youth army,
you must then change all your bad habits.
You must remember the following teachings.
Recite with me.
For this lifetime, I will serve my country, my home.
The country is my mother and I am her child.
The king is most revered and I am his soldier.
If the country is in difficulty, I will leap ahead and face it.
Whoever I face, I will persist until the end.
Whoever I face, I will persist until the end!
Good! Very good! Begin!

Prince Zi Lan and Zi Heng are invited in!
Respectfully greeting Royal Father.
Zi Lan, you can get up first.
Thank you, Royal Father.
Zi Heng.
Do you know why I summoned you both back?
I do not know.
Think about it.
What good things have you done?
Royal Father, I really don't know what happened.
You don't know?
Then look at this!
Testimony written in blood by pregnant woman's family
Royal Father, I didn't deal with this matter properly. Let me explain!
What else is there to explain?
- I..! - The blood letter is already in front of me!
As a royal uncle, Jia Chang An raped and killed a pregnant woman.
He has completely embarrassed the royal family!
Yet you just let him go that easily.
I asked you to learn how to govern.
Is this how you learn it?
I..!
With such actions, what right do you have to be crown prince?
I've decided. Zi Lan will be crown prince!
Thank you, Royal Father!
-Your Majesty! -Shut your mouth!
Those alliances that you have behind your back,
Don't think I don't know about them!
Your Majesty, this matter hasn't been investigated yet.
I'm afraid it'll be improper to name a crown prince like this.
Could the people's fresh blood be fake?
The crown prince matter is settled.
Court is dismissed!
Hurry, hurry!
Bring all the good food here! Hurry!
Slow down, be careful.
Look, look!
I prepared all of this for you!
Come. Hurry and sit down!
Hurry and sit down and have a taste!
-How fragrant! -These are all your favorites.
This is wonderful! This day has finally come for us!
Yes. Mother, your wish has been fulfilled.
From now on, I'll be the crown prince of Chu!
You can all go.
-Yes. -Yes.
Lan'er. Let me ask you something.
Go ahead.
The issue with Zi Heng, is it true?
This matter...
It counts as real and fake.
Half real and half fake.
Real is real, and fake is fake.
How could it be half real and half fake?
The truth is, Jia Chang An really did steal and murder.
It led to killing two lives at once.
Then the fake?
As for the blood letter,
it's just something that someone asked the citizen to do.
The blood letter is fake?
But the intention of the citizens is real.
Who did that? That's the crime of tricking the king!
Royal Mother, if you are really happy that I have become a crown prince,
then you shouldn't care about these small matters.
When you're bored, why not make more healthy foods
for me to improve my body?
You wrote the blood letter?
Mother, didn't you say so before?
For the crown prince position, I can do anything.
You taught me all of this.
It's all you. It's all the good things you've done!
Sister, you can't fully blame me.
This matter was almost finished to start with.
But who knew those people would write a blood letter?
This is just a little carelessness on my part.
Little carelessness?
Do you know that with this little carelessness of yours,
it caused me a huge price?
Sister, you can't say that.
I apologized to those people long ago.
Heng'er took my arm too! Is that not enough?
Sister, look at my arm!
It was cut down by your son like that!
Now that you mention it,
thankfully Prince Zi Lan spoke on my behalf. Or else,
or else, it wouldn't just be this arm!
Your son wanted my life at that moment!
What are you saying? Zi Lan spoke on your behalf?
Yes!
Men! Drag Jia Chang An out!
Execute him right now!
-Sister! -Drag him out!
Sister! It was so hard for me to survive! Why do you want to take my life?
I'm your little brother!
That's right! You are my little brother.
It's for that reason that you should understand as brother to the Queen, how you should behave!
But you? Do you think Zi Lan is helping you?
You're wrong! Zi Lan did it to make Zi Heng and me look bad!
He did it to get the crown prince position, don't you understand?
What are you standing there for? Drag him out!
Queen Mother! Spare my Uncle!
Sister! Spare me! Spare me!
If I die, how can you answer to our dead parents?
We having a chance is the best way I can answer our dead parents.
As long as you die,
only then will we have a chance. Drag him out!
Sister! Spare me!
Sister! Sister! Spare me!
Sister! Spare me!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
What is it? You look so panicked.
I heard Her Highness the Queen had Jia Chang An executed!
-When did that happen? -Just now!
The Queen really is the Queen. She is truly Queen of a country.
Then the matter about the crown prince?
Can my decision change?
It's too late. Too late!
Chang An, don't blame me for being cruel.
Heng'er, get up.
Queen Mother, I know I was wrong.
Heng'er, this isn't your fault.
Your opponent is too cunning.
You lost this time, but you will have a chance in the future.
But you must remember. Your path from now on, you cannot take even one step wrong.
As I see it, it's all Qu Yuan's fault.
He insisted on making changes!
If he didn't insist on changes,
reforming the ancients' laws, this crown prince position should have been mine.
Your Majesty, is there something on your mind?
It's a shame that I am not the Great Shaman of Chu.
I do not know how to share your troubles.
What are you suddenly mentioning her for?
Am I wrong?
If the one by your side right now was the Great Shaman,
Your Majesty wouldn't look so worried.
What are you saying, Beloved?
Who doesn't know in this palace?
Your Majesty has always been focused on the Great Shaman.
Since she was still a musician,
Your Majesty has already given her excessive good graces.
Don't talk nonsense.
Now, whether in court or the harem,
Your Majesty always protects her.
Even the issue with Big Sister Ying running away, Your Majesty protected her from it.
I said so before.
They took the wrong path that time.
But the court officials and the concubines don't think so.
All of this makes me wonder what power does the Great Shaman of Chu have,
that she can have such great love from Your Majesty?
It's a shame. She has someone else in her heart.
Or else, it would be a beautiful thing.
Just what is going on?
Your Highness, you want
to drive Qu Yuan out of court?
Correct!
If not for him, Zi Heng wouldn't have lost his crown prince position.
I can't swallow this!
Have someone investigate immediately. Every human makes mistakes.
I don't believe that Qu Yuan wouldn't make mistakes!
With your support, Qu Yuan definitely will not escape this time!
Many times, I've seen Vice Chancellor Qu
being very intimate with the Great Shaman of Chu.
Qu Yuan again?
This was spread throughout the palace long ago.
It's said that the Great Shaman and Vice Chancellor Qu
have already secretly chosen each other as their life partner.
Perhaps it is a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding?
The two of them are always in cahoots.
Do they really think I don't know?
I find it strange too.
That Great Shaman always speaks on Vice Chancellor Qu's behalf.
And this Vice Chancellor Qu got really anxious about the matter of Great Shaman of Chu.
No wonder she never let me touch her body.
I trust them so much,
yet they dare to trick me like this?
Your Majesty, you still have me.
Ever since I married into the Chu palace,
I willingly will obey all your orders.
I will have no other thoughts.

Beloved subjects, is there anything else to report?
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, I have something to report.
A few days ago, I received a letter. It said...
It said that Vice Chancellor Qu is privately increasing his personal army in Quan County!
What?
Beloved Subject Qu, is this true?
Your Majesty, I...
Vice Chancellor Qu, recently when you kept going to Quan County,
it was to increase your personal army?
Your Majesty, Vice Chancellor Qu's increasing of the Qu army
was done to protect the State of Chu.
Great Shaman of Chu, you trust Vice Chancellor Qu a lot.
Vice Chancellor Qu, the matter of privately increasing your army, is it true?
Your Majesty, I did create a youth army, but...
But what?
Privately increasing your army, yet you didn't tell me.
Do you still respect me?
Just how many things are you keeping from me?
Your Majesty, I didn't hide it on purpose.
If Judge Chen didn't mention it, who would know about this?
Qu Yuan, privately increasing your army is no small matter.
What is your motive?
Your Majesty, though it's true Qu Yuan's treatment of the matter has not been suitable,
he's done so out of devotion to Chu without any disloyalty.
Your Majesty, I also believe
Qu Yuan would never commit to disloyalty to Your Majesty, nor to Chu Nation.
May Your Majesty be vigilant.
Chancellor Zhao, Qu Yuan's already confessed to privately increasing his army.
You don't need to argue for your son-in-law's behalf anymore.
If he's not holding a different plan,
why isn't he making his report to His Majesty?
Your Majesty, I believe Qu Yuan's plotting a treason.
He is plotting to steal the country and kill the King!
You..!
What nonsense!
During these years, Vice Chancellor Qu has done so much for the country and its people.
All the citizens praise him for it.
Never thought that in the end, he ended up being branded as having evil intentions.
Great Shaman of Chu, what do you mean by that?
Everything is recorded. Are we framing him?
You know very well if he's being framed or not!
Your Majesty, I have something to say!
I have always carried a pure heart.
Never thought that it will be twisted by everyone to being plotting to steal the country and kill its king.
To all ministers here,
those activities of yours that focus on making profits for yourselves, what are they then?
Ask your own conscience how much have you done for our Chu?
Among you, there are those that use their power for personal gains,
those that scheme to usurp a position, those that oppress the citizens.
I want to ask all of you, what evil things have you not done before?
You-! You-!
Shut your mouth! What nonsense are you saying?
Nonsense?
Your Majesty, you too.
You personally said that you will be loyal to our Chu, but have you done it?
You don't want to be decisive when you need to, you don't distinguish between right or wrong, you cannot see who is loyal and who's not!
If the State of Chu falls one day, you are the most guilty of them all!
How ridiculous!
Qu Yuan!
How ridiculous!
Men!
Lock Qu Yuan in prison!
Wait!
Your Majesty, please spare Qu Yuan on behalf of the Qu family's generations of loyalty!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Shut your mouths!
Whoever dares to beg for mercy will be just as guilty as him!
Drag him out!
Crafty and fawning officials are the ones in power! There is complete darkness! No light!
Let go of me! Your Majesty!
Let go of me!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Qu Yuan increased the Qu army to protect the State of Chu!
He would never have ulterior motives!
- Your Majesty! - Great Shaman of Chu...
Your Majesty!
Vice Chancellor Qu would never usurp state power and kill the king!
Your Majesty!
Bixia. Bixia!
-Father, why are you so panicked? -Master.
Hurry and come to the prison with me!
Prison?
Greetings, Lord Chancellor.
He's inside.
Husband!
Bixia! Why have you come?
Father brought me here.
Thank you, Lord Father.
You unfilial jerk!
Look at how you behaved in the court earlier.
I created the youth army to solve the problems in Quan County.
So that His Majesty can have a strong army to defend the country in the future.
My good intentions were turned into treasonous motives!
You are already a person with children yet you are still acting too proud and arrogant.
If you could calm down,
would this have happened?
Do you know how many enemies you've made in the court?
I think that you should just apologize to His Majesty.
The King is just furious right now. Once he thinks it through,
he'll forgive you.
I am not wrong. Why must I apologize?
You..!
Husband, why must you be like this? Father came to help you.
Why must you anger him like this?
If his helping me is asking me to apologize to His Majesty for a crime that I never committed,
then I'd rather be locked up in prison!
So what if you bow your head once?
It was originally good for you to create the youth army,
but you didn't explain to the King, and instead publicly angered him!
This way, a good thing became a bad thing.
There's no need to keep talking. Since you're the same as them, then leave.
Leave!
Right now, you want to drive me away too, is that right?
Alright. I'll leave!
Just continue being stubborn!
You're hopeless!
Father!
That Qu Yuan is hopeless!
Father!
Father! Beg His Majesty again, okay?
If you step forward, His Majesty will definitely be merciful!
For him, His Majesty has already made numerous vile criticisms against me.
A distinguished chancellor like me, I have repeatedly bowed and knelt for him.
-If he doesn't want face, I still want it! -Father!
If you want to look for His Majesty, you do it on your own!
Get up.
If Your Majesty won't let Ling Jun go, I will not get up.
