Episode 2
Abiding with morality, having no ulterior motive, really comparable to heaven and earth, From Ju Song, Ode to an Orange, the Nine Chapters by Qu Yuan.
Lan Tai Palace, Chu State
Your Majesty, please be calm!
Abiding with morality and having no ulterior motive. Really comparable to heaven and earth.
What nonsense! Complete nonsense!
Your Majesty, please be calm!
Two foolish kids.
They are facing death and still refuse to repent.
Tomorrow! Drag them both out and behead them!
Son, who are you going to kill?
Queen Dowager.
Greetings, Queen Mother.
You can all leave for now.
Yes.
Just who was the one who attacked you during the ceremony?
An assassin.
Which assassin?
You heard, Queen Mother?
It'd be hard for me to avoid hearing about it.
The assassin should be killed.
But you must rethink about the young man from the Qu family.
Queen Mother, are you going to ask for mercy on his behalf?
The State of Chu has always been good to the Qu family.
But I never imagined that Qu Yuan would conspire with the assassin.
In the face of death, he still refuses to repent.
He actually wants to help the assassin escape guilt too!
I heard about it a long time ago.
Qu Yuan is blessed with some intelligence in poetry.
Young and easily becomes rash, insufferably arrogant.
If you kill him,
would you still be able to keep this country stable?
What do you mean, Queen Mother?
Qu Yuan is Qu Bo Yong's son.
Qu Bo Yong is the State of Chu's Minister of War.
He holds great military power.
Defending my grand Chu dynasty. If you kill Qu Yuan,
would the Qu family still be loyal to you?
Without the Qu family's help,
who would help you guard this state?
Who will help you fight for this world?
Without the Qu family, there are still the Zhao and the Jing families.
If someone can escape punishment when they try to assassinate the king,
what other crimes can be left unpunished?
What reputation can our royal family have now?
The Chu Country has three defenders. Everyone knows that.
LaoZi said before that 'Dao' begets the One, the Three beget all living things. (T/N Daoist doctrine, Dao De Ching 42, the three are yin, yang, and qi)
Compare the State of Chu to a cauldron.
The Qu, Zhao, and Jing families support the cauldron.
If one is broken, could this cauldron still be held up?
I've said all I should and shouldn't say.
You are the king of the State of Chu. You must take responsibility for all you do.
The more you should take responsibility for your plan for the citizens and the future of our country.
Do you understand?
Mm.
Your Majesty! Save me! I'm innocent!
The birds go back to their birth place, the fox looks in the direction of the hill where they were born before dying.
Drawing my sword and looking around
For what is my heart worried about?
What a good line, "drawing my sword, looking around, for what is my heart worried about".
You dare to not stand on ceremony when you see the king?
Are you afraid?
And I thought you weren't afraid of anything, Qu Yuan.
So Your Majesty came to take my life today?
-Serve the wine. -Yes.
Very well. Since it's like this,
I'll become a wine spirit.
Thank you for sending me off, Your Majesty.
Let me ask you. How deep is your friendship with that Wu Ming?
In Your Majesty's eyes, am I just doing this for friendship?
Are you not?
For that little friendship,
you've even forgotten your loyalty towards me!
Then let me ask Your Majesty: what is loyalty?
Being fully faithful to me is loyalty.
I think that ensuring Your Majesty's safety is just little loyalty.
Ensuring the longevity of my Chu is big loyalty.
Killing Wu Ming means the King of Yue has no successor.
Naturally, the grudge between Chu and Yue would be gone.
I once asked you,
if Your Majesty kills one Wu Ming, there'd be more. Can Your Majesty kill them all?
Using one Wu Ming to resolve a grudge between two countries
and win the heart of the citizens. A scholar like me knows that.
Could it be Your Majesty doesn't understand it?
You think that in my grand Chu, everyone is drunk
and only you are awake and sober?
Forget it, forget it.
I'm about to die anyway.
So what if I'm drunk, what's the use of being sober?
I, Qu Yuan, became famous at the age of 16!
How did I do it?
One poem! Among the scholars and writers, who doesn't respect me for it?
Who wasn't willing to admit my greatness? But, besides my parents,
I admire Your Majesty the most!
What do you admire about me?
Under Your Majesty's rule and governance, there is orderliness in both inner and outer court.
Without Your Majesty's work, how could the State of Chu be so strong?
I thought you were different from others, Qu Yuan.
Never thought that you also learned to sweet talk.
Don't you think it's too late to be saying these things now?
I, Qu Yuan, really admire Your Majesty!
But, from now on,
I won't admire Your Majesty anymore!
Your Majesty is just some narrow-minded, petty person.
You're not worthy of being the king of the great State of Chu!
Shut up!
Let him speak!
You killed the king of Yue then.
Now, you're going to kill his son!
Pulling the problem up by the roots! No one is more cruel than you!
To fix one grudge, all you know how to do is kill, kill, kill!
How could I admire you?
Qu Yuan, how dare you!
Man only lives transiently in this world like a fleeting cloud,
like a white horse fleetingly going through a crack.
If you can't do what you want to do,
if you can't say what you want to say, then what's your difference
with a dayfly that is born in dawn and dies in dusk.
Then what if I let you do what you wanted to do,
and say what you want to say?
One statement says it all.
For the ideals that I keep deep in my heart, I'd not regret a thousand times to die for it!

What a good line, "drawing my sword, looking around, what is my heart worrying about".
One Wu Ming can solve the grudge between two countries.
So why won't I be happy to do so?
Wu Ming of the Yue State openly attacked the King of Great Chu,
and insulted the power of the King of Great Chu. He should have been given the supreme penalty.
The King looks upon the fact that Wu Ming did it to avenge his people,
and because of the persistence of the scholar Qu Yuan to get him spared,
by His Majesty's sacred power, he is pardoned for his crimes.
He is being expelled from Chu. This serves as a warning to all others who will try to be like him.
Your Majesty...
Y-Yuan'er!
Yuan'er!
Yuan'er!
Yuan'er!
He's not dead?
Master Qu was drinking wine in his cell yesterday, but who knew he'd get this drunk?
He drank wine?
You bastard!
[Qu Manor]
Father! Why are you hitting me?
Kneel down!
Speak! What did you do wrong?
I don't know what I did wrong! I wanted to ask you! Why am I kneeling in front of the ancestors?
You bastard! You still dare to ask me?
It's enough that you make poor choices in friends!
You dare to hide an assassin?
I did that for the King's good!
You're going to destroy the Qu family's loyal reputation!
The King didn't blame me! He let me go!
-The King saw that you were young and didn't hold it against you! -Mother.
You dare to say such nonsense? Do you still know the rules regarding ruler and subject?
Rules, rules, you talk about those rules every day!
If those rules are really followed, I would have died long ago!
How ridiculous! I'm going to flay your skin today!
-Stop hitting him! -Admit you were wrong!
-Don't hit him! -Father!
Move aside!
Father, don't hit Little Brother Yuan! He hasn't learned martial arts yet, so his body is very weak!
If you want to hit, then hit me!
Alright! You're going to protect him too?
Fine! I'll hit both of you!
-Stop hitting him! -Father! It's my fault! It has nothing to do with Big Brother!
Hurry and apologize!
I didn't do anything wrong!
-Stop hitting him! -Move aside!
Alright, just continue spoiling him like this!
Yuan'er, does it hurt?
Phew.
Little Brother Yuan, she's the mountain spirit you talk about?
Yes.
Looking at her closely, this mountain spirit
is indeed a bit pretty.
The beauty of a mountain spirit isn't just her appearance. You wouldn't understand.
What is her name? It's not really "Mountain Spirit", is it?
No way! You don't even know a thing, how will make her submit to you?
If everything in this world must rely on force, then why must Heaven submit to me?
I really can't understand what you are thinking.
-Good! -Good!
- Thank you, thank you! - Thank you, Big Sister!
Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you!
Hurry and give it to them!
Thank you, little girl. Thank you!
Thank you!
Miss, do you still remember me?
-Hey, wait a second! -Thank you.
Wait a second!
What do you want? Are you going to fight with a girl again?
My little brother has something to say to this young lady.
This has nothing to do with you. Stop interfering here. Go away.
Little brother? How intimate.
You two don't look alike at all!
You-!
Qing'er, let's go. Don't waste your saliva on frivolous, hedonistic and rich sons like them.
Hey! Wait!
Do you know who my little brother is?
Who do you think you are?
What it means is that this lady is just pretending to be cultured.
Pretending to be cultured? The poems that my older sister can memorize are way more than you have heard of.
Poems?
You want to talk to my little brother about poems?
Now that you mention it, you were singing Ju Song last time. (T/N Ode to an Orange, Qu Yuan)
You indeed know something about poems.
A stubborn man like you has no right to talk about Qu Yuan!
Nor will you understand Qu Yuan's poems!
I won't understand Qu Yuan's poems?
Do you know who he is? I don't think anyone knows more about poems than him in this world.
Aren't you afraid of hurting your tongue by saying those words?
If you don't believe me, you can give me a test.
See if I understand them or not.
Test him! Test him! Test him!
What is it? You don't dare to?
How about I test you?
Who doesn't dare? Please.
Look, there's someone at the mountaintop,
wearing fig leaf clothing and dodder vine ribbons.
She has both expressive eyes and a ready smile:
"You admire me, Sire, for being so elegant."
Which poem did this come from?
What kind of poem is this?
Big Sister, haven't you read all of Qu Yuan's poems before?
I haven't read this poem before!
Qu Yuan didn't write this poem.
You're not just making things up, are you?
I just wrote it two days ago!
What woman wearing fig leaf clothing and dodder vine ribbons?
In this world, how could there be a girl who doesn't wear clothes
and just put on some vines or leaf clothing?
Even if there was, Master Qu wouldn't write such low-class things!
He's talking nonsense!
Perhaps he wrote it in his dreams.
In his dreams? Dreams again?
How would you know about Qu Yuan's dreams?
You talk like you're his friend!
If I'm not, then are you, Miss?
You just read some of his poems and knew a bit about them.
Oh? Why do you say that?
Qu Yuan's poems are magnificent,
beautiful even when chanted or sung.
Everyone all knows how much he strives towards beauty.
But usual people are only able to see this intention of the poems of Qu toward beauty.
How many people know about the sorrow within the beauty,
the hurt within the affection?
When has Qu Yuan ever been sorrowful? What a joke! Never heard of it!
In the poem The Lord within the Clouds : "Thinking of that lord makes me sigh
and afflicts my heart with a grievous longing." Isn't that sorrowful?
In Lord of the East : "The blue clouds as my top and the red rainbow as my bottom clothing.
Raising my bow with a long arrow, to shoot down that star Sirius."
Is that sad or not? Is this poem not sad?
The blue clouds as my top and the red rainbow as my bottom clothing.
Raising my bow with a long arrow, to shoot down that star Sirius. This is Qu Yuan's grand ambition. (T/N The star Sirius usually foretells the start of war.)
Could you not see that?
Grand ambition? Go and shoot a sky wolf for me then.
I think that it's just an empty grand ambition,
but no chance of displaying his might.
He can only sorrowfully sigh.
How do you know that Qu Yuan don't have any grand ambitions?
If he was truly talented, he should obtain justice for the people!
He wrote about so many valiant warriors in his poems,
but did he do anything? Did he achieve anything?
If others don't let him, how could he do anything? He can only write poems at home.
Let me tell you, Qu Yuan can only stay at home and write nonsensical poems,
he won't do anything, he can't achieve anything! He's useless!
What did you say? You're not allowed to slander him!
Big Sister!
Big Brother, what are you doing? Didn't we agree not to fight this time?
She made the first move! I can't watch you get hit!
These low-level citizens and slaves, move aside.
Big Brother Meng, don't fight anymore!
Are you okay?
It's all your fault! You unlucky star! Nothing good comes when we run into you!
Big Brother Meng!
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Big Brother Meng! How are you doing?
-I'm okay. -Stop hitting him!
It's all a misunderstanding!
Big brother, forget it!
But I said I wouldn't let anyone bully you!
Just stop talking.
Miss, it's all a misunderstanding, my brother didn't mean to hurt him.
Take this money to take him to a doctor.
Who wants your money? Go away!
You don't even know what's good for you!
-Let's go! -But..!
-Let's go! -Big brother!
Don't bother with them!
Let's go!
Hurry and go! Go!
Big Brother Meng!
Hurry and go!
People who know me ask me what I'm worried about.
Those who don't ask me what I want.
I have been waiting for you, Your Majesty.
The wine is still warm. Please sit down.
I heard you chanting a poem just now.
People who know me ask me what I'm worried about.
Why is your heart worried?
I am not worried about myself.
I worry about Your Majesty, and the entire State of Qin.
Oh? Then I want to hear,
why are you worried?
Your Majesty attacked the three Jins numerous times. (T/N Jin partitioned into Han, Wei and Zhao 376 BCE)
Just a little victory and you already think that you've gotten the whole world.
Does Your Majesty know that the people of the world fear Qin, and have intentions to cut Qin down?
I'm willing to listen for the details.
From what I know, Su Qin is currently in Qi Country trying to convince them
to unite the power of the remaining six countries to counter the powerful Qin.
If he is successful, the next one he will be convincing will surely be Chu.
Xiong Huai is holding 700 years of dynastic history,
millions of soldiers, ten years' worth of rations.
If an alliance forms between Qi and Chu, the three Jins that have been repeatedly attacked by us
will surely join them even without someone mediating.
Once northern Yan sees an alliance has formed between the five other countries,
it will surely join too due to the pressure of the circumstances.
If the six states join together, then the alliance to attack Qin is set.
We wish Your Majesty
to have the same age as Heaven,
forever enjoying blessings and fortune.
Your Majesty, this is all
delicious food that I chose from all across the world.
Each of these came from precious ingredients from the people.
From what I've seen in the different areas,
the Chu State is now on the path to greatness.
The greatness of Chu is all Your Majesty's work.
Good! Everyone enjoy it with me!
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Please.
Your Majesty, I also have a present.
Oh? Excellent!
Bring it forward!
What's this?
Respectfully requesting Your Majesty to come down here and take a closer look.
Queen Mother, would you join me to look at it?
Yes.
Your Majesty.
Please lightly tap this dragon head.
Could this be...?
Your Majesty, this is our country's treasure,
the jade of the He family.
The jade of the He family just vanished into thin air.
It has always been an unsolved mystery case of our country.
Never thought that Minister Zhao would be able to retrieve it.
It is a very happy event for our State of Chu!
Since the jade of the He family disappeared, my heart was really torn with anxiety.
It's just that at the start of spring last year,
someone in Zhao Country heard that someone was able to see this item.
I had to hide my identity and investigate every day.
Finally, in the hands of a Zhao trader, I was able to get this jade back.
Good. Very good!
I recently was able to escape great danger and now, this jade of the He family has returned to Chu.
The heavens are watching over us!
Starting today, this jade of the He family will be placed in Lan Tai Palace
and be our Chu's treasure that ensure our country's peace.
To tell you the truth, I also want to conquer Chu.
It's just that I don't have a legal reason to do so.
Being acquired by other countries is not the major problem.
But if the world will unite and send forces against me,
then our Qin will surely end up in a hopeless situation.
Strategist Zhang, what ideas do you have?
I've already said what I should.
I don't want to talk about the rest, nor do I dare to.
Why don't you dare to?
I am just one person and my words have not much power. I am afraid I am unable to do as much as I want to.
Please punish me, Your Majesty. I cannot help you achieve your great goal.
I cannot help Qin resolve this problem. I am here informing Your Majesty of my resignation.
What I am aiming for is to rule the world.
What you are aiming for is prestige.
If you can help me, I am willing
to give you the Prime Minister position in exchange.
I want to use the strategy of Lianheng . (T/N Qin allying with other small states vs the alliance of the other major states)
Getting the prime minister position or not is lower in importance.
Don't I know what expert wants?
Ruling the world,
is also what I am aiming for.

I am bowing to Master Zhang Yi and asking him to be my prime minister.
Hope the master strategist can help me
strengthen Qin and unite the world together.
I have this grand ambition in my heart and journeyed for so many years.
I suffered miserable conditions and migrated here to Qin.
Getting such grace from Your Majesty, I will surely not disappoint Your Majesty.
Willing to risk any danger to do one's duty.
Good! Get up.
With Master Zhang's help, can I still not get the world?
Actually, if Your Majesty really wants to obtain the world,
it's not that difficult.
Please explain.
Does Your Majesty know about the Chu's jade from the He family?
Chu
Your Majesty, we drink to you.
Your Majesty.
Why don't I see the Minister of War here to celebrate your birthday?
My father's injuries aren't healed yet.
I want to really thank you, Minister Jing Po, for worrying about him.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
You may rise.
My father today really wanted to come here and to have an audience with Your Majesty but unfortunately, he got sick.
I dare to take his place to see Your Majesty.
War Minister has injuries so he doesn't need to exercise these formalities anymore.
You came empty-handed?
I haven't seen someone celebrate the King's birthday like that before.
Today is the King's birthday celebration.
Gathering and collecting all the essence of Heaven and Earth, Your Majesty's kindness will increase day by day.
I will especially perform a poem song as my gift to Your Majesty.
Okay!

- ♫ Careful and meticulous, never rash, not making a mistake ever since ♫ - Good song! Good song!
There is really no one in this world that is your equal.
Your Majesty, this is your birthday present from the Qu family. (T/N Ju Song, Ode to an Orange).
Lord Qu indeed is my country's scholarly talent.
Really has striking literary talent and incomparable poetic talent.
Ling Jun is a rare talent given by the Heaven.
Every word and phrase in this poem can amaze the world.
As I see it, he is Chu's real most beautiful jade.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Ling Jun, the grand ambition in your poem
is more than a thousand-times better than those of the common people.
I thought Your Majesty would only understand sixty percent of it.
Oh? What about now?
Now, Your Majesty understands seventy or eight percent of it.
I only understand that little?
It's already much better than everyone else.
Never thought that after undergoing such a catastrophe, you still can be this arrogant.
But, your poem is well-written,
but I can only see the poet and not the world.
What does Your Majesty mean?
Great poetry, therefore great ambition too. Ling Jun is still this young
yet you already are so talented with poems. It is our state's luck.
But a man should have the world in his heart
and not just ambitions written in books.
Please enlighten me.
Let me ask you. Why did you read so many poems?
I read a lot of poems so I can write good poems.
Then why do you write poems?
You have great intelligence, and I do like your poems.
But have you thought about it? Even if one day you write
the best poem in the world, so what?
I hope that you can use your intelligence
to govern and ensure our peace and not just to recite poems.
Real skills are not seen in words and verses,
but actually in the governing of the country and stability for the public.
Your Majesty, governing the country and maintaining peace and stability is the job of the King.
What does that got to do with me?
How rude! Qu Yuan, you dare to talk to the king like that?
Your Majesty, I don't like people telling me about world situation the most.
I still have other things to do. I will leave first.
Your Majesty, this Qu Yuan will never be someone who will achieve great merits.
Zhao Manor
Husband, how was it?
The king really liked the He Shi Bi (the He family jade).
It overshadowed the gifts of the other officials.
Who knew that Qu Yuan would suddenly appear?
Letting the Qu family earning a point from it.
Qu Yuan? Didn't he create a huge mess?
I don't know what magic he used.
The king pardoned his death sentence!
It looks like the king really likes him.
I'm afraid...that this district magistrate position didn't get taken by the Jing family,
instead it seems the Qu Family are getting the upper hand.
Put it down!
Miss, I-!
Who told you to come?
I was wrong last time, so I came to apologize!
Apologize? If you apologize,
would Big Brother Meng's injuries heal?
Don't worry, it's just a small injury!
It'll heal really fast with our family's special internal injury medicine!
A light injury? Did you know?
You almost got Brother Meng killed!
Big Brother has had tuberculosis. That kick of yours,
caused his illness to flare up again!
We...didn't know about that.
Can you hit people as you like just because you don't know about it?
Get out. Get out!
What do I have to do to get your forgiveness?
We'll have to see when Big Brother Meng's injury heals.
Brother Meng!
-Brother Meng! -Come, sit down.
Why are you standing there for? Get lost.
Can you walk? If he can walk, then come with me.
Just what do you want?
I'm taking him to see a doctor!
There's no need! Hurry and go!
Go! Go!
Medicine.
Do you think we'd use your medicine? How long do you intend to hurt us for?
I really don't understand! I could take him to see the best doctor!
Why are you acting like this?
You men won't understand!
Brother Meng, eat this medicine.
Qing'er! You're not allowed to use his medicine!
Big sister, Brother Meng's injury is more important right now.
Who cares whose medicine it is?
You're still not allowed to use his medicine! Besides, we don't even know what medicine this is!
Qing'er, listen to Mo Chou. Don't use his medicine.
My injury isn't a big deal.
I don't care!
As long as we can save you, I don't care whose medicine it is!
Move aside!
Besides, I don't think that young man is like his unreasonable big brother.
He doesn't seem like a bad person.
He doesn't look like a bad person? Look at him!
Full of absurd words, frivolous, and disrespectful.
Then what kind of person counts as a bad person?
His eyes are different. Bad people don't have eyes like his.
Come, Brother Meng, eat this medicine.
♫ Thinking of the beautiful lady, the road is long and can't be timed ♫
♫ Ten mile horizon, no return date ♫
♫ So many words are like fish bones in the bottom of my heart ♫
Big Sister, that young man is still outside.
It's raining outside.
So what?
Big Sister! No matter what, he did this to bring medicine to Brother Meng.
It was hard for him to run all the way over here.
Big Sister, why don't we let him come in?
Then let him come in. I'll leave.
Big Sister! Okay okay, we won't let him come in.
Brother Meng, are you hungry?
There's food over there.
- Okay. ♫ Throwing it into the water, the river flows to the east ♫
♫ Laughing but not laughing; sad, hence, sad; who in the mortal world can understand ♫
♫ Flicking one's sleeve, walking alone, and not looking back ♫
♫ There are orchids giving off fragrance; the cold wind with its heroic posture smiles ♫
♫ Asking the man if he can identify her traces ♫
♫ While the fireworks haven't dissipated yet, picking lotus to share ♫
♫ Don't let regrets wind around your heart ♫
Isn't it just a false display of affection? Just an act.
