[Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin]
[Episode 47]
[Ji Feng Hall]
Patrol Guards, Donghu Yulin Army, and his private army?
Yes.
What to do?
What should we do now?
Forgive me for being direct. Right now, we can only rely on the Jin Imperial Guards.
Abandon the palace walls and guard the city walls. Wait for reinforcements.
Minister, please immediately take me into the palace to have an audience with His Majesty.
Let's go!
General! General!
The Patrol Guards are here. You two quickly leave.
Come with me.
- Minister. - General Yue.
Why did I not believe you?! Why?!
Let's just quickly go, Minister.
Go.
Let's go.
This area is restricted. Minister, please stop.
Nonsense! Without military orders from the cabinet,
the Patrol Guards has no right--
Minister!
I want to see His Majesty! I want to see His Majesty!
Open the door! Quickly open the door!
Minister...
- Minister Jin, you are... - I ask to see His Majesty!
Minister Jin! Today is the 15th, the day for audience with the imperial clan.
His Majesty is currently accompanied by several old princes.
Minister Jin! Minister Jin!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty...
What is wrong, High Minister Jin?
Prince Laiyang has revolted!
Commander Tang, things have already reached this step.
It is better that you harden your heart more.
Prince.
How is the situation on the streets?
Currently, still under our control.
Imperial Son!
Hurry!
Hurry! Guard it well!
Hurry!
Hurry! All of you, hurry up!
Officer, the orders of His Majesty has already been sent to the Jin Imperial Guards Office.
There are no one responding from the Southern Camp and Front Gates Camp.
Commander Wu, there must be a reason for the Jin Guards being unable to respond to the imperial orders to be mobilized.
How many people do we have now in the palace?
Commander Wu.
We only have 500.
- Your Majesty. - How are things, General Yue?
Forgive me for being direct. A mutiny must have already occurred in the Jin Guards Camp.
The number of guards in the palace are not enough to guard it.
May I ask Your Majesty from where we can still mobilize an army?
- Impossible! I do not believe what you are saying. The Jin Imperial Guards will never-- - Your Majesty!
May I ask Your Majesty where else can we mobilize an army?!
There are still a few in the Imperial Tomb at Weishan.
But they surely will not be able to resist the Donghu Yulin.
There are no other way now.
May Your Majesty change your attire. I will lead the Jin Elite Guards to escort you.
Let us escape the palace first.
Bring me my Son of God Kingdom Seal.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
General Yue,
even if Imperial Mother is able to escape this palace,
we will not be able to escape this city.
I hope that you can take this precious seal and go mobilize an army to rescue me.
Even if I am unable to obtain the pity of the Heaven,
no room to redeem the situation,
at least the people of the world would know the truth.
Your Majesty, no matter what the situation will be in the future,
I surely will do my best
to find Your Majesty a reinforcement army.
Commander Wu!
Is His Majesty not leaving?
Chunjun!
General.
Escort General Yue out.
Yes!
General Yue, take care.
Spread my order! Gather the all the men here in the palace!
Gather and withdraw to the Chaoyang Palace! Protect His Majesty!
We will battle it out until death with the rebels!
Yes!
Pingjing, what is this place?
This is the pigeon house of Langya Court in this area.
Brother Xun,
please come in.
This is the most recent Jinling information that we got here in Langzhou. May Second Master read them.
Thanks.
Pingjing, what is wrong?
Brother Xun...
Prince, the two Jin Imperial Guards Camps are now without any leaders and they do not know what has happened.
Their battle power is greatly diminished and they have already been divided and disarmed.
There are a bit of trouble that happened in the Southern Camp, but I already have suppressed all of it.
May Prince do not worry.
With General Di around,
I never have worried.
Prince, we have already started to surround the palace.
The Jin Imperial Guards inside are all retreating to the Chaoyang Palace.
Looks like they plan to stubbornly resist us.
Let us see how long they can resist. I have the time to spare for it.
Charge!
If older brother is still alive...
how can a disaster like this be even possible?
If Prince of Changlin is here, this day will never happen.
Charge!
Xiao Yuanqi?!
You rebel! His Majesty treated you very well!
You just have to--
Does Her Lady Majesty Empress Dowager recognize me?
How can I recognize a rebel like you?!
My name is Di Ming, a citizen of the capital.
My family has been officials for generations and have served the government.
I dare not say that our clan has repeatedly achieved merits, but at the very least,
we are not natural-born traitors.
As the commander of the Imperial Family Yulin Army,
you accept salary from me, but did not fulfill your duty.
You instead disappointed my graces and revolted?
For a treacherous individual like you, what right do you have to mention your family's status here?!
Thanks to Her Lady Majesty Empress Dowager,
only I am the only one left living from my Di Clan.
What can I not mention?!
I never saw you!
I cannot understand these nonsense of yours!
That year...the plague of Jinling City...
Pingjing, I do not understand what you are still thinking about now.
Since as you said, it is already too late, let us stop wasting time in staying here then.
With just the two of us,
even if we are able to rush to Jinling now, what can we do?
As a disciple of the Meng clan, protecting His Majesty is my heaven-sent duty.
Even if I die, I must die in the battlefield!
Brother Xun, even if you have the will to die in the battlefield,
I fear that even this chance...
Just for your so-called blessings,
the lives of my Great Liang's citizens in the capital
are just trifle matters in the eyes of you nobility!
Wrong. The plague of Jinling was devised by the evil people from Yiqing. It has nothing to do with Imperial Mother.
For the plague of Jinling, almost ten thousand people died.
Piles of bones and aggrieved souls.
Lady Xun, do you dare stand out
and say that it has nothing to do with you?
Imperial Mother...
It was because of this,
that's why, you betrayed His Majesty.
But do you know that His Majesty was still young then? He did no mistakes.
As long as he has a mother like you,
he is not worthy to be an emperor.
Of course, we cannot give up. I am just calculating
how much probability His Majesty still has of being alive.
Tell me your conclusion then.
- Imperial Mother. - Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
the past emperor frequently taught you that a ruler
must not lose the dignity of being a member of the imperial clan
despite being in any kind of situation.
Do you not remember anymore?
Your Majesty, although I got bewitched,
I indeed led to the spread of the plague here in the capital.
I admit to my crime. My crime is unpardonable.
I naturally should bear the consequences. What happened today
is because of the cycle of Heaven's justice, that good and evil will get their corresponding rewards and retribution.
Your Majesty should not be bias and hinder it.
Do you understand now?
Imperial Mother...
Today, I am willing to use my Empress Dowager position to pay for my crimes.
After I die, I will not be buried in the imperial tomb,
I will not be given offerings, I will not be included in the ancestral chambers,
and thrown to be buried in the far away city outskirts.
This serves as a sacrificial offering to the the citizens who died from the plague.
His Majesty ascended to bear the mandate of the Heaven. His throne was transferred to him by the past emperor.
Since he ascended to the throne, he never did any immoral or incapable decisions.
I should bear my own mistakes by my own.
After I die, as long as you all can stop this and withdraw your army,
His Majesty has agreed to not go after it.
Xiao Yuanqi, General Di,
starting this moment, your reason for revolting
will not have any more basis. No one can use my crime
to take my son's life!
Prince, will this not make our revolt be baseless and illegal?
General Di, I will pay you back the blood-debt I owed you.
Empress Dowager!
Imperial Mother!
Yuanshi, remember.
You are the emperor of Great Liang!
Lady Xun,
please just kill yourself.
Empress Dowager!
Imperial Mother!
Your Majesty...
Imperial Mother!
Brother Xun, do not forget.
Xiao Yuanqi is a close imperial relative of His Majesty.
He is the grandson of Emperor Wujing. If he will ascend to the throne,
in the eyes of the world, the Xiao family as the ruling family did not change.
This is his greatest advantage at this time.
What you mean is,
he will think of ways to clear his name of the crime of
rebellion and mutiny. Am I right?
Empress Dowager...
You have already forced Empress Dowager to kill herself.
What grudges do you still have?
If you do not hurry and leave, in the future,
when the world unites in their anger and hatred towards you and go after the traitors to save their emperor,
you all will surely die a tragic death!
Although Empress Dowager is dead, Xiao Yuanshi still holds the imperial throne.
How can we be at ease then?
What else are you still planning?
Ever since, the government should be led by a skilled ruler.
Xiao Yuanshi is young and had no guidance, got influenced by a woman.
He was unable to preserve the kingdom's territory externally and unable to gain full support of his subjects internally.
I want him to write a decree stating his crimes and announce it to the world
that he is abdicating his throne for someone more skilled.
Prince Laiyang is the imperial grandson of the past Emperor Wujing!
He is a direct imperial descendant and a outstanding talent within the imperial clan.
His merits in the battle to protect the eastern borders of the kingdom is known by everyone!
We all are willing to serve Prince Laiyang as our ruler!
Willing to serve Prince Laiyang as our ruler!
Your Majesty...
I...may have committed a lot of mistakes.
But no matter what, I will not submit to
rebels and traitors like you!
You want me to write a falsified imperial decree for you?
Are you trying to fool the world?!
A little kid that was raised with pampering in the palace.
How firm do you think are your bones?
Xiao Yuanqi!
The Heaven's justice is towering! Are you planning to kill your emperor?!
Gao Fu!
If His Majesty will personally write a decree about his crimes and abduct the throne to him,
this for Xiao Yuanqi is the best ending.
This traitor has thought about the problem too simply.
I actually hope that this is his plan. If it is,
then His Majesty would be able to survive for a few more days.
Meticulously search the place. Find the six seals of the Son of Heaven first.
Yes.
The Son of God Treasure is not in the palace anymore.
When you just revolted, I already sent someone
to take one of the seals of the Son of God Treasure out of the palace.
I believe him. Even if the capital will be lost,
even if I really did in your hands,
he surely will give the Son of God Treasure to someone deserving to be trusted.
I then want to know
who is this persons you are saying to be worthy to be trusted?
Is he the Prince of Changlin currently far in Langya Mountain?
Xiao Yuanshi, you were high up on your imperial throne before.
It is just natural for people to be loyal to you.
But if given the chance, if the throne is right in front of them,
everyone is like me.
Xiao Pingjing will never be an exception.
His Majesty ascended to the throne at a young age. Government matters have always been handled by the cabinet. His imperial might is still lacking.
Moreover, there is the loss in the battle with Donghai.
As long as Xiao Yuanqi can force His Majesty to announce his abdication,
it is then possible for him to hide the truth from the world.
If we think to continue resisting him,
just relying on righteous ardor and sacrificing a few more lives, it will all be useless.
What is important now is to have an army that will rescue His Majesty.
Brother Xun surely know better than anyone
that to avoid criticisms, he never interfered with the military matters surrounding the capital.
Even the army seals in the borders will get replaced every after use.
But Senior Grand Secretary and a lot of government officials are still uneasy about it.
What do you think are they guarding against?
You are saying...
Second Young Master, I have already sent out all the messages.
This is the first response.
Send this letter out.
Yes.
Pingjing, what did you arrange now that I do not know of?
Brother Xun, I want to ask you a question.
If we have not met for a long time and you still are holding a significant number of army until now,
then one day, I went to see you and told you that His Majesty and the dynasty is in danger,
but I do not have any proof or military power.
Will you come with me?
I will.
Why?
Because I believe in your skills
and your loyalty to serve His Majesty.
What your uncle has been guarding against, simply put, is that.
My House of Chang Lin has protected the northern borders.
Can be said to be full of righteous blood, two generations of loyal bones.
In the hearts of the world, this devotion and honor
have their merits.
You want to...
Starting to this place up to the capital, I will use the name of Chang Lin
to gather an army to rescue the emperor.
The capital is in curfew! Anyone who tries to live the city without permission will be executed!
Min'er, take it.
The only thing that I can do for you now
is to release you to leave this fiery pit.
Once he returns, we will not have any chance anymore.
I already asked someone to destroy your slave contract.
You can be at ease in leaving.
What are you doing?!
No need to waste your words. Rebel! Traitor!
I would rather die than join you!
Traitor! Rebel!
General.
There is an empty house at the back. Lock all of them in there.
Remember to timely deliver food and water.
Are we not killing them?
Not killing.
Yes.
General, did you still not find any chance to leave the city?
I found a few weak spots, but I still have to check again.
What about the items I told you to prepare?
I was able to get 7 Yulin uniforms and some extras.
General, even if we are indeed able to get to Langya Mountain and find Prince of Changlin,
but he has no army in his hands. What can he do?
That is right, I also do not know what he can do.
Brother Xun, did you not ask me yesterday why we took a detour to Langzhou?
Look.
Dong Qing?
So, you were waiting for them.
Greetings, Your Highness Prince.
Greetings, Your Highness Prince!
Dong Qing, you all have military duties and future.
We are unsure of the result of this trip to Jinling. I hope that everyone can think of it well.
No matter if the world still carries the name,
as the sons of Chang Lin, we naturally are duty bound to protect our emperor.
We will fight for our home and our country.
May Prince allow me to accompany you!
May Prince allow us to accompany you!
Okay.
Second Young Master.
General Wei.
Second Young Master,
we already brought you all the Chang Lin Army in Ganzhou Camp.
[Prince of Chang Lin]
The soldiers of Ganzhou Camp is willing to follow and serve Prince of Chang Lin!
The soldiers of Suizhou Camp is willing to follow and serve Prince of Chang Lin!
The soldiers of Jizhou Camp is willing to follow and serve Prince of Chang Lin!
The soldiers of Changzhou Camp is willing to follow and serve Prince of Chang Lin!
[Chaoyang Palace]
[Prince of Changlin]
Although you frequently enter the palace,
you surely has not enter this place yet, right?
Do you know where this is?
The place where the Son of Heaven governs the country.
I told you that I am going to make you the honorable woman in the world.
I did not break my word.
Anru...
Anru!
Are you not happy for me or for yourself?!
If you think that this is the most important thing in your life,
if you think that it is worthy for you to commit all those sins,
to betray all your conscience,
of course, you can be happy and be merry.
But I am unable to feel it.
I unable to feel it even one bit.
That is because you still do not understand!
You still have not experienced how it is to be the most respected person in the world!
I already made arrangements.
No matter if Xiao Yuanshi is willing or not,
two days from now...
two days from now will be the throne abdication ceremony.
Anru, you are destined
to be an imperial consort.
