The singer on that gate tower starts singing earlier than a rooster. Miss Ma, you know what? I wrote the lyrics. I know. I know. Since I married you, I've been watching you fighting hard through the dead bodies. I've never heard you mention the word difficult. But this word can be heard in this song for many times. Listen. I listened to Your Majesty's opinions just now. The Heaven Worshiping Ceremony will be held in the southern suburb on the fourth day of the first lunar month next year. The proclamation of worshipping the heaven states it clearly. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the Heaven Worshiping Ceremony will be held in the southern suburb. I wonder… I wonder whether Your Majesty could delay the ceremony and hold it a few days later. Delay? Do you think the fourth day of the first lunar month is a bad day? Well… Liu Bowen, isn't it you who selected this day? Your Majesty, I confirmed the date by almanac during daytime and celestial phenomena at night. The fourth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day. Why do you want to change the date? I've got the order to supervise the construction of Xingqing Palace, and it must be finished before the ceremony. After the ceremony, I'll invite the officials to the banquet held in Xingqing Palace. But… But what? I've calculated the time. There're only eighteen days left before January 4th. There's a lack of three hundred thousand pieces of tiles. The Construction Bureau are in charge of these grey tiles, and they'll be sent here in half a month. Tell me. If these three hundred thousand pieces of grey tiles are delivered here, how many days you'll need to lay them? Ten days. Li Shanchang. Here. I order you to get three hundred thousand pieces of grey tiles within three days. What? You must get them. Obey. I order you to take down all the tiles from those three hundred houses located on the west of the palace and in the Veteran Street within two days. If we need to pull down several hundred houses within three days, we are short of men. If you're short of men, you can ask the Ministry of War for help. You must get the grey tiles. Besides, gather those veterans. I'll mobilize them personally. His Majesty meets a problem while building a new house. We can't just watch it and do nothing about it. That's right. Right. It's right. We can't just watch it and do nothing about it. Right. Right. But if that's the case, I'm confused about what to do. If His Majesty meets a problem, we can't ignore it. Right. Yes. I had never expected that while living in this way, we'd still have the chance to help His Majesty. We're still useful. Good. Good. Thank you so much, gentlemen. Lord Liu, what can I do for you? Go to the Imperial Office of Music and ask those artists to set up a stage around the entrance of the Veteran Street. Make a big show of singing. What do they have to sing? Fengyang Flower Drum. It's been a long time since His Majesty listened to the music of his hometown last time. Tell me. What's worth seeing in the east? The military officers are having a big inspecting around the streets in the east. A big inspection? They inspect how well the passers-by carry out the etiquette of Great Ming. That's interesting. Let's go Right, right, right. Why are you going that way? Your Majesty, listen. Music of your hometown. Come this way. Well, it's also interesting. Shanchang, let's go. What? No, Your Majesty. What's going on there? Your Majesty, probably there's a bigger show there. Go. Let's take a look. Okay. Let's take a look. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Having walked for so long, you must be tired. Why don't you go back to the palace and take a rest first? I'll go and take a look. Then I'll report it to you in the palace. Your Majesty, there's a bigger show over there. We must take a look. Come on. Come on. We've come to visit the veterans today. Why do you stop me? Go. Let's take a look. Come down here. Come down. You come here. Come here. Come here. Alright. Alright. Let them take down the tiles. His Majesty needs them urgently When I was a young girl, why did I marry you? Because you had the house His Majesty built for you. Tell me. How much food you get from His Majesty? It's not enough to support all of our family. If the house is pulled down, when it's windy or rainy outside, where do the adults and kids live? Tell me. Don't drag me. Come down. Sir, what should we do? Don't stop. Don't stop. His Majesty needs the tiles urgently. I'll fight it out with you. Get up. Get up. You can't pull it down. Hush! Step back. Don't push. Your Majesty. His Majesty's here. Your Majesty. His Majesty's here. Stop it. Lay these tiles back on the roofs one by one. His Majesty has given an order. Stop taking down the tiles. Thanks for Your Majesty's kindness. Long live the emperor! Your Majesty, I was in a dilemma. I had no choice. Why didn't you consider about pulling down your mansion? I'm sorry. I should be punished. Your Majesty, I'm a foolish man. Compared with Lord Liu Bowen, I'm much less intelligent than him. But over all these years, I've been loyal to you, Your Majesty. Just tell me directly what you will do. I'm willing to pull down my mansion. Pull it down. It's not necessary to pull down your mansion. Courtier Liu. Do you have a solution to help the prime minister? Your Majesty, if he says he knows how to solve the problem, then he surely knows what to do. He has wonderful foresight. People call him the Living Zhuge Liang. Lord Li, don't flatter me at this point. Courtier Liu, you're in charge of collecting these three hundred thousand pieces of grey tiles. Oh, yeah. Obey. Lord Liu, Do you know the emperor's words are to be taken seriously? I know that. I also receive the order seriously. Good. Courtier Li. Don't keep kneeling there. Stand up. Thanks, Your Majesty. Thanks, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is very wise. Ask him to finish this task. Anyway, cutting once or twice, Anyway, cutting once or twice, there's only one head. What? What are you whispering? I mean, he asserts that the fourth day of the first lunar month is a good day to hold the Heaven Worshiping Ceremony. If it's a gloomy day, his neck will be cut. This time, if he fails to collect three hundred thousand pieces of grey tiles within three days, his neck will be cut again. So he's got only one head, cutting it once or twice is the same. Lord Li, you don't need to worry about this. Please rest assured. Just take a look after the ceremony, my head will surely stay on my neck. Really? Courtier Liu, tell me what you are going to do. Your Majesty, borrow them. Borrow them? I also tried to borrow them by pulling down the Veteran Street. Lord Li, they're different. I borrow them in a different way. Why are they different? When you borrowed them, you made the lenders cry sadly. If I borrow them, I'll make the lenders very happy. Is there something wrong with them? Be happy with that? Is there really such a thing in the world? Your Majesty, how many households are there in Yingtian? Over one hundred thousand. Look. For these one hundred thousand households, I think most of them have got three or five extra grey tiles. Asl long as Your Majesty is willing to issue IOUs… What? You ask His Majesty to issue IOUs? It's absurd for you to get this idea? His Majesty will become a laughingstock eternally. Lord Li, you're wrong again. Can you call this a laughingstock? His Majesty issues an IOU even though he only borrows three or five pieces of grey tiles. You call this an eternal laughingstock? It's an eternally praised story. Courtier Liu, how many IOUs will I have to issue? Right. Each of the one hundred thousand households gets an IOU. Each of them gets an IOU. In fifteen days, as soon as the grey tiles from Kunshan are delivered here, people can get their grey tiles back by showing their IOUs. I'm afraid by that time, few of them will come to get the grey tiles. That's not gonna happen. How are you going to issue one hundred thousand IOUs within one day? Do you really think of yourself as Zhuge Liang? You can borrow one hundred thousand wolf-tooth arrows within one day? Calm down, Lord Li. What day is it tomorrow? Tomorrow, the final imperial examination will be held before the Heaven Worshiping Ceremony. There'll be over one thousand candidates for the exam. Right. Your Majesty, ask these one thousand candidates to have a calligraphy competition first. Each of them will write one hundred IOUs of tiles for Your Majesty. They'll be finished within two hours. Your Majesty, then use your newly-made imperial jade seal, Hongwu Treasure Seal. Hey, Your Majesty, that's an achievement that'll astound the world. An achievement that'll astound the world! I never expected that the jade seal for the founding of our dynasty can be used on this. It's interesting to write IOUs for His Majesty. Your handwriting is good. Perhaps the people who lend the tiles will think that it's written by His Majesty himself. Look at my handwriting. It's also good. You write so fast. After I finish writing them, I really wish to keep one of them. Okay. Here comes the emperor. Long live the emperor! Alright. Alright. Be up. Be up. Thanks, Your Majesty. Alright. Don't just stand there. Go ahead. Go ahead. Just go ahead. Do you think this is okay? Good. It's my turn. Your Majesty, I've asked the military officers to give them out to every places of the capital by post horse. They'll put every one hundred households' tiles on one cart. All the tiles will be sent to the imperial road by the palace. Good. Your Majesty. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the grey tile hall was completed officially. Okay. Have you returned the tiles to the people? Your Majesty, the kiln factory's three hundred thousand grey tiles were delivered here three days ago. Officials of the Construction Bureau stayed there for three days, but no one came to get the tiles back with the IOU. Really? Every household frames Your Majesty's IOU of the tiles, and hangs it at home. Take it as a treasure. Your Majesty, what an eternally praised story! Dear, go and see how the weather is today. Okay. Your Majesty. Hmm. I've seen it. Dark clouds gather in the sky over the city. We're going out at this point. What if it rains on halfway? When will we set off? Right away. I don't think it'll get sunny. Your Majesty, look. The clouds are dissipating. It's getting sunny. Wow! Your Majesty of Heaven, your humble subject kneels on the ground for so long, but it's impossible to express my endless gratitude to you. I was born in a commoner's family, and I used to work in the farmland, being a lowly man. Then I led the soldiers from the central mainland to fight battles throughout the country. In fact, it was the mandate of heaven. By the Mandate from Heaven, I brough peace to the land. Come on. Come on. New kerchiefs. Hongwu Peace Kerchief. New arrivals. Peace Kerchief. It means to bring peace to you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The bald guy? Your Majesty, I want to file a lawsuit. Your Majesty, I want to file a lawsuit. Kunshan's Wang Lv! Unruly man, how dare you stop His Majesty here! Drive him away from here. Yes. Your Majesty, I want to file a lawsuit. Go. Just go. Go away. Move on. Do you think that you won't be a bald man while wearing the kerchief? Put on the cangue. The bald guy. Cangue. Me. All are here. What do you mean? My wife was scared that I might get muddled, so she asked me to mumble these two sentences constantly. The bald guy, cangue, and me. Don't…Don't lose any of them. I've heard you like drinking wine. Right? Don't…Don't mention wine in front of me. I…I tell you. Previously, after I drank the wine, I got dizzy. Later, as soon as I smelled it, I got a little drunk. Now, you mustn't mention the word wine in front of me. Over there. Over there. Come on. What are you doing? Don't you want to get a drink inside? Courtier Liu, look. Why do you bring me here? Haven't I told you that I'll paint a giant dragon on the wall. A giant dragon flying in the sky. His Majesty has posted a notice to recruit painters all over the country, but no one applies for the job. Why? Not that no painter can paint a dragon, but that they don't dare to do so. Why not? Your Majesty, have you forgot it? When you came into the city, you took Yingtian as the capital, and once issued an edict that all the painters of the country mustn't paint dragons or tigers without permission. Your Majesty, whoever disobeys it will be decapitated Really? Did I issue an edict like this? Your Majesty is the real dragon and son of heaven. The image of a dragon can only be used by Your Majesty alone. It's not proper to let them paint it arbitrarily. But this time, I permit them to do so. Courtier Liu, I've heard you're good at painting tigers. You must know someone who is good at painting dragons. Your Majesty, let me recommend a man to you. Wang Lv from Kunshan. He's the best painter for painting dragons in Jiangnan. I've heard he's in Yingtian now. However, Your Majesty has to issue an edict, and asks him to paint dragons under the order. Go fetch the yellow silk and give it to Liu Bowen. Obey. Later, you can write on the yellow silk, paint dragons under the order. Look for the painter Wang Lv. Obey. Why do I see that there's one more bald guy and cangue here? Oh! You have to look carefully. Right. There's only one. Wang Lv, let me tell you. At one time, I went home after I had a drink. As soon as I pushed the door open, guess what happened? What happened? Two wives. I told my wife about it. My wife gave me a big slap across the face. Then I got sober. Don't move. The bald guy. Cangue. It seems there's a lack of one thing. That's not right. There should be three things. What about me? What about me? What are you doing? Go away. Did you see a bald guy? No. Did you see a bald guy? He went over there. Okay. Is Lord Liu here? Please help me inform him. Lord Liu, save me. Sir, we haven't met for six years. You look quite different now. It's not the time to make a joke now. It's a long story. Please. Okay. Do you still remember the first time we met in Mr. Wang Youjun's hometown six years ago? It's urgent now. Not the time to talk about the old days. You can't go inside. Let me get inside now. The suspect I'm going to arrest escaped into this house just now. Who are you? How dare you make trouble in the Courtesy House set up by His Majesty? I'm an official clerk from Kunshan. Let me get inside and catch the suspect. Lord Liu, An official clerk from Kunshan insisted on coming inside. Drive him away. He said your guest was the suspect he had to arrest under the county magistrate's order. Tell him. This is the Courtesy House built by His Majesty. I've told him. But he said even the prime minister's mansion was no exception. Alright. Wang Lv, don't think that after escaping to the Courtesy House, you can escape the law of Great Ming. Come and get arrested. Come and get arrested. That's more like it. Come on. What? Wang Lv, let me ask you. How many days does it take for you to paint a dragon? I wonder how long the dragon is. How long? Your Majesty, I've measured it. We have to paint a three-zhang-long dragon on Xingqing Palace's wall. A three-zhang-long dragon. It takes five days to paint one zhang. Three times five equals fifteen. It takes half a month to finish. Wang Lv, according to what you said, finish it within fifteen days. Your Majesty, I have one more request. Say it. While I'm painting the dragon, please cover the wall with curtains. No one is allowed to see it within these fifteen days. Alright. Do as you said. The magistrate of Kunshan Lord Feng Tang has said, only when I meet a very serious problem can I ask the prime minister for help. Wang Lv has escaped to the capital for filing a lawsuit to His Majesty. So I came here hurriedly with the warrant of arrest issued by the county government. Feng Tang has got Liu Bowen as his rival. It's a big problem for him this time. If he had not got the order to paint dragons, I would've arrested him. Wang Lv has got His Majesty's order to paint dragons in the palace. It's useless for you to ask me for help. Go. Go. Wait. Help me keep an eye on him first. Wang Lv, are you there? Yes, Lord Liu. Can't I see it? No, you can't. How is it going? I haven't started yet, I was merely imaging it while facing the wall. Look. You get better treatment than I do. According to the newly issued etiquette, only the third-rank or above civil officials can ride horses. His Majesty asks you to paint dragons and lets you ride horses. You see? I've only got a small donkey. Come on. Please. Sir, please. While Wang Lv is painting the dragon, he paints the head first, then the body and the tail. On the last day, paint the pupils. Do you follow him to get in and out of the palace every day? I've never missed going a day. Does Wang Lv hold that edict of painting dragons every day? Yes. If he had not held that yellow silk granted by His Majesty, I would've arrested him. Hmm, okay. Remember. One day before he paints the pupils, when he goes out of the palace, he won't get that edict in his hands. Then I can arrest him without barriers. Wang Lv, how is it going? Painted nothing for the previous thirteen days, but finished it in one day. You're an amazing painter. I'm flattered. Wang Lv, this time, you don't have the yellow silk in your hands to protect you. Come and get arrested. Lord Liu, this is the warrant issued by our county government. Go with him. Come on. You can't escape now. Go. Mr. Wang, let's meet in Kunshan. When we meet in Kunshan, it's the right time to paint the pupils of the dragon. Alright. Go. Go. Ride a post horse now and take the post roads. Protect Wang Lv on the way. After escorting them to Kunshan, you can come back and report on the completion of your task. I'll kill those who want to kill Wang Lv. No, just drive them away. Yes. Wang Lv has been arrested by an official clerk of our county. I think they've got to Liyang by this time. Ride a horse and try to kill him before he reaches our county. There's no grudge between Wang Lv and me. How can I murder an innocent man again? Besides, since you've arrested him, why not let the government kill him according to the law, but insist that I should assassinate him? If his written complaint had not been obtained by Lord Liu Bowen, our county government could kill him after he's brought back here. It's impossible now. This case has been reported to the imperial court. It's impossible for me to rashly… You should have done it. You shouldn't have… You shouldn't have put half the money robbed by you in my backyard. If you had not investigated me, I wouldn't put half of the money I've robbed at the risk of my life in your house. What's more, I knew you would accept these eight taels of sycee silver which cost you nothing. Only that I had not expected that you'd be so stupid as to buy paintings with the silver custom-made by the Ministry of Revenue. Shut up. If Wang Lv doesn't die, both you and I can hardly stay alive. Who? Who painted the dragon? The painting is grand and magnificent. It looks elegant and unconventional. Good. How come the dragon is without pupils? Is it possible that it hasn't opened his eyes yet? How come it's a sleeping dragon? It looks drowsy. It seems to be blind dragon. What are you saying? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have talked offensively. Who's the dragon? The dragon is Your Majesty. In the world, only Your Majesty can be known as a dragon. I shouldn't have said it's a blind…blind. Lord Liu, It seems the painter of the dragon was recommended by you. He was recommended by Lord Liu. Right. Liu Bowen, how do you explain it? Your Majesty, he has finished painting the dragon. Only that the pupils haven't be added yet. He painted the dragon without pupils. What's Wang Lv's purpose? Come quickly. Arrest Wang Lv. Decapitate him at the Meridian Gate tomorrow. Your Majesty, Wang Lv was recommended by Lord Liu, so Liu Bowen should also be punished. Courtier Liu, what do you think? Your Majesty, do you still remember when Wang Lv accepted the task, how many days he requested? Fifteen days. I remember it clearly. Yes, Your Majesty. I remember Wang Lv said that it would take him fourteen days to paint the dragon and one day to add pupils. Today is the day for him to add pupils. I only want to ask you why he didn't add the pupils on the last day? Your Majesty, he'd like to do so, but yesterday when he went out of the palace, he was handcuffed forcibly by an official clerk from Kunshan. Official clerk from Kunshan? He also showed us the warrant issued by Kunshan's government. Well, didn't I issue the imperial edict to him? Didn't he hold the yellow silk in his hands every day when he went out of the palace? Is the warrant issued by Kunshan's magistrate more powerful than my yellow silk? Your Majesty, last night, before Wang Lv went out of the palace, the yellow silk which you had granted to him was missing. Why do you say it was missing? It's right there. Your Majesty, that's the queer part. Wang Lv clearly knew that the official clerk from Kunshan was watching him closely at the gate every day. When he went out of the palace yesterday, why didn't he take the yellow silk granted by Your Majesty? Right. He knew the official clerk was waiting for him at the gate. All of a sudden, we have to recruit one thousand two hundred girls for my harem. Isn't the number too large? Your Majesty, I don't think so. I've looked up the conventions of the past. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, nearly every emperor has got thousands of women for his harem. People often say, three thousand beauties. Three thousand beauties. Select girls for my harem in such a large scale. I can't do that. I'll approve your report. Do you mean I have to submit this report in front of all the officials in the morning court tomorrow? Sit down first. Thanks, Your Majesty. I have to enlarge my harem. It's something important to our country. I can't discuss and decide on it with you privately like this. Your Majesty, I came to see you with this report late at night because I was worried that in the morning court, it'd be objected by some knucklehead like the imperial censor Liu Bowen. You're afraid of him? But I'm not. Tomorrow in the morning court, submit this report to me. I just want to see who will disagree. Only that when you read the report, don't stutter. You have to speak eloquently, giving those censors no chance to interrupt you. Your Majesty is wise. According to the etiquette of the Great Ming, when an official is giving a report in the court, others are not allowed to interrupt. Whoever does this will be flogged for twenty times. Right. While he's being flogged, you can finish reading this report quickly. Then I'll approve it. By then, I only wish that Your Majesty could doze. I know that Your Majesty attends to numerous state affairs every day, and work so hard to the neglect of your meals and sleep, having no time to deal with the problem of insufficient members of your harem. Your Majesty is the first to worry about the troubles across the land, and the last to enjoy universal happiness. As your official, I can't ignore Your Majesty's happiness while receiving grace and salary from Your Majesty. Therefore, I suggest we should order the imperial envoys in a few days to recruit one thousand two hundred girls from the four districts of Jiangnan, and each of the districts should offer three hundred candidates, so as to enlarge the harem. Your Majesty, we mustn't recruit girls for the imperial harem at this time. I know Your Majesty didn't sleep last night and worked hard for the state affairs. I'll report it briefly. Now our task is to rebuild the country. It's a question of priorities. According to the etiquette of Great Ming, when an official is giving a report in the court, others are not allowed to interrupt. Otherwise, he'll be punished according to the law. According to the law, flog him for twenty times. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's something important. Please think it over. There're twelve counties in these four districts. The imperial court will divide the men into twelve teams. It's compulsory and every county should offer one hundred candidates. The time limit is ten days. For those unmarried girls over sixteen years old… It mustn't be compulsory. If it's compulsory, it'll disturb the people, and even cause a riot. Interrupt in the court. Flog him twenty times. You mustn't flog me. If a censor is flogged, it'll tarnish His Majesty's reputation. No official would dare to discuss about state affairs. Your… Your Majesty, in this case, over one thousand young girls will join the imperial harem all of a sudden. It's like adding endless spring scenery to the imperial harem. After working so hard for the state affairs, Your Majesty enters the imperial harem, and seems to see hundreds of flowers being in full bloom. How beautiful! Seems to hear birds' twitter and smell fragrance of flowers. How lovely! Okay. You want to plant flowers and trees in my imperial garden. Right? I approve it. Your Majesty approves it? Yes, I do. Obey. I've got a report. It's over. Your Majesty. His Majesty didn't sleep last night for the state affairs. Now he's sleepy. The meeting is over. Long live the emperor! Lord Liu, His Majesty has left. His Majesty has approved my report. His Majesty has approved your report? Yes. What report has he approved? Planting flowers and trees in the imperial garden? Do you want to submit a report to object to it? Humph! Why did you give that sound? What a censor riding a donkey! He's like a thin donkey letting off hard feces. Obstinate! Music
