"195 BC, China"

4
00:02:32,950 --> 00:02:35,290
My nightmare.

5
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,950
My nightmare.

6
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,330
My nightmare.

7
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:24,950
My name is Liu.

8
00:03:26,620 --> 00:03:27,950
I am 61.

9
00:03:29,290 --> 00:03:32,290
I was born in a small place called Pei County.

10
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,490
I am the emperor.

11
00:03:49,580 --> 00:03:53,450
I have had two mortal enemies in my life.

12
00:03:54,750 --> 00:03:55,330
Go away!

13
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:59,950
They haunted my dreams my entire life.

14
00:04:04,660 --> 00:04:06,450
One was Lord Yu .

15
00:04:10,330 --> 00:04:13,830
The other was General Xin.

16
00:04:21,330 --> 00:04:23,620
"Concubine Qi"

17
00:04:43,330 --> 00:04:44,540
Your Majesty.

18
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,330
Your Highness.

19
00:05:06,250 --> 00:05:08,700
You may go, Concubine Qi .

20
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,200
"Empress Liu"

21
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,200
It is done.

22
00:05:59,330 --> 00:06:00,370
What's done?

23
00:06:31,660 --> 00:06:35,830
"Minister Xiao"

24
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,450
Your Majesty.

25
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:43,160
I have brought General Xin.

26
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:06,990
General Xin.

27
00:07:22,410 --> 00:07:24,160
General Xin.

28
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,330
General Xin claims he first saw me in Xue Town .

29
00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:36,790
I don't remember seeing him.

30
00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:43,240
I only remember Lord Yu.

31
00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:46,870
Lord Yu is back!

32
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,200
Welcome back, Lord Yu!

33
00:08:07,790 --> 00:08:10,450
Lord Yu was 24 years old when I first saw him.

34
00:08:11,750 --> 00:08:13,990
I was 48.

35
00:08:16,450 --> 00:08:17,950
He had everything.

36
00:08:18,450 --> 00:08:19,950
Nobility

37
00:08:20,250 --> 00:08:21,950
a handsome face

38
00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:27,080
courage and strength

39
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:29,700
the most powerful army.

40
00:08:33,450 --> 00:08:35,120
And of course

41
00:08:36,580 --> 00:08:38,580
the most beautiful wife.

42
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:53,120
He was leading the rebellion against the Qin.

43
00:08:53,830 --> 00:08:55,370
A living legend .

44
00:08:58,620 --> 00:09:00,370
Xin and l

45
00:09:01,370 --> 00:09:03,540
were just street rats.

46
00:09:04,750 --> 00:09:07,120
Our lifelong dream

47
00:09:07,290 --> 00:09:09,990
was to join Lord Yu's army.

48
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:22,240
Give him a royal burial.

49
00:09:41,830 --> 00:09:48,660
Liu, from Pei County.

50
00:10:03,790 --> 00:10:07,580

"Lord Yu's Camp"

53
00:10:15,910 --> 00:10:16,540
"Zeng"

54
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,040
I've never heard of you before.

55
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:23,160
Some say you're a Dragon's Son

56
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,450
that the clouds follow you

57
00:10:25,870 --> 00:10:27,370
that thunder roars in your wake.

58
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,410
My wife made that up.

59
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,790
"Bo"

60
00:10:42,410 --> 00:10:44,120
"Lord Yu"

61
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,160
You see this rain?

62
00:11:11,450 --> 00:11:15,240
It'll stop. It'll stop soon.

63
00:11:34,330 --> 00:11:35,580
A rainmaker!

64
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:37,290
He's got the gift.

65
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,290
My Lord

66
00:11:43,950 --> 00:11:45,370
to tell you the truth

67
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:48,450
I'm here to ask for troops

68
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,660
to rescue my wife and my men.

69
00:11:52,950 --> 00:11:54,450
If you don't trust me

70
00:11:56,330 --> 00:11:57,660
I will leave immediately.

71
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:01,450
If we let him go, he'll become a threat.

72
00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:02,330
My Lord, have mercy on me!

73
00:12:03,290 --> 00:12:04,080
Seize him .

74
00:12:04,250 --> 00:12:05,240
Seize him!

75
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,870
Stay away from him!

76
00:12:18,790 --> 00:12:20,910
These are my men from my hometown.

77
00:12:21,660 --> 00:12:22,660
They're from the country

78
00:12:24,290 --> 00:12:26,330
and don't have any manners.

79
00:12:27,330 --> 00:12:28,370
If you must, kill me and let them go.

80
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,450
Back off.

81
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:39,490
I'm warning you, l'm a killer.

82
00:12:39,790 --> 00:12:40,330
Back off, all of you .

83
00:12:40,830 --> 00:12:41,870
Back off, all of you .

84
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,450
I'm a killer, do you hear me?

85
00:12:59,620 --> 00:13:00,490
I suppose

86
00:13:01,870 --> 00:13:02,870
we could lend him some troops.

87
00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:05,540
This man should not be killed.

88
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,120
I'll give you 5,000 men .

89
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:12,370
Go and free your town .

90
00:13:12,540 --> 00:13:14,370
After saving your wife

91
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,740
come and join us.

92
00:13:18,660 --> 00:13:19,040
Yes, My Lord.

93
00:14:27,370 --> 00:14:28,490
Who are you?

94
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,620
Your Majesty, l am a scribe.

95
00:14:30,790 --> 00:14:32,830
I record your words and deeds.

96
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:35,080
For whom?

97
00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:40,700
For my wife?

98
00:14:41,450 --> 00:14:44,490
Your Majesty, the records are kept for posterity.

99
00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:47,080
Write good things about me.

100
00:14:47,410 --> 00:14:48,450
Yes, Your Majesty.

101
00:14:48,660 --> 00:14:51,080
I will do as I am told .

102
00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:15,490
"Lord Yu's Wife"

103
00:15:46,620 --> 00:15:47,740
You should join Lord Yu.

104
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,080
I never dreamt that one day,

105
00:16:22,950 --> 00:16:26,660
I would fight alongside Lord Yu .

106
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,240
I had only a single goal at the time.

107
00:16:31,870 --> 00:16:35,200
Down with the Qin Empire!

108
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,080
Down with the Qin Empire!

109
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,700
Where is Liu's wife?

110
00:16:56,450 --> 00:16:56,990
Madam?

111
00:16:58,410 --> 00:16:59,740
Where are you?

112
00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:02,450
Madam .

113
00:17:02,620 --> 00:17:03,830
"Liu's Wife"

114
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,830
Your Dragon's Son rumor

115
00:17:24,290 --> 00:17:25,950
almost got me killed .

116
00:18:01,250 --> 00:18:02,120
How dare they!

117
00:18:02,330 --> 00:18:03,830
Kill them all!

118
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,490
Soldiers, officers, all of them!

119
00:18:05,660 --> 00:18:06,620
Kill them all!

120
00:18:06,790 --> 00:18:07,660
Slaughter them!

121
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,700
Nice armor.

122
00:18:28,290 --> 00:18:29,370
A gift from Lord Yu.

123
00:18:29,870 --> 00:18:33,040
You had a bastard son with a widow.

124
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,740
Is it true?

125
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:41,830
I've devoted myself to one thing.

126
00:18:43,580 --> 00:18:44,950
Overthrowing the Qin Empire.

127
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:48,870
Doesn't seem to stop your womanizing.

128
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,200
Maybe not.

129
00:19:01,580 --> 00:19:03,740
Father.

130
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,200
Sit down.

131
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,870
That's him.

132
00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:22,740
Liu Fei .

133
00:19:23,540 --> 00:19:24,540
Ever seen him?

134
00:19:26,910 --> 00:19:28,870
His mother died .

135
00:19:29,620 --> 00:19:31,790
I've taken him in.

136
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,910
As long as he's yours

137
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:39,790
I'll take care of him.

138
00:19:40,750 --> 00:19:42,540
I was drunk.

139
00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:45,950
Men like me face death every day.

140
00:19:46,410 --> 00:19:47,950
It just happened .

141
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,540
I 'm sorry.

142
00:19:53,450 --> 00:19:54,450
So be it.

143
00:20:26,910 --> 00:20:30,160
I will always remember, as I left

144
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,910
the lonely figure that watched me from the hill.

145
00:20:35,450 --> 00:20:36,910
My wife.

146
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,830
Over the years

147
00:20:46,330 --> 00:20:49,240
Lord Yu and l went from sworn brothers

148
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,950
to mortal enemies.

149
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,910
Meanwhile

150
00:21:02,660 --> 00:21:05,240
he held my wife hostage.

151
00:21:22,910 --> 00:21:24,330
Years later

152
00:21:25,790 --> 00:21:28,910
when she finally returned to my life

153
00:21:30,450 --> 00:21:32,990
I didn't know what to say to her.

154
00:21:48,620 --> 00:21:52,200
I had taken another woman

155
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,330
and we had a son.

156
00:22:52,620 --> 00:22:56,040
Minister Xiao and the others are waiting for you.

157
00:23:23,370 --> 00:23:23,990
Come closer.

158
00:23:29,660 --> 00:23:31,490
There are my chambers

159
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:33,830
not the court.

160
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,620
Come closer, all of you!

161
00:23:47,290 --> 00:23:50,490
Lately, l've been plagued by nightmares

162
00:23:50,790 --> 00:23:51,990
and can't sleep.

163
00:23:52,540 --> 00:23:54,160
Me neither, Your Majesty.

164
00:23:54,620 --> 00:23:56,330
Did I ask you?

165
00:23:56,750 --> 00:23:57,580
"Minister Fan"

166
00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:00,830
You've fought alongside me all these years

167
00:24:01,330 --> 00:24:02,910
and earned your credit

168
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,200
but only I get the empire.

169
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,540
Can you accept that?

170
00:24:09,250 --> 00:24:10,200
Your Majesty

171
00:24:11,410 --> 00:24:13,490
We have sworn loyalty to you.

172
00:24:19,370 --> 00:24:20,450
What about General Xin?

173
00:24:22,370 --> 00:24:23,540
He's still locked up.

174
00:24:27,540 --> 00:24:28,410
Locked up?

175
00:24:28,540 --> 00:24:30,660
For the last six years, Your Majesty.

176
00:24:59,290 --> 00:25:01,540
The great General Xin .

177
00:25:03,370 --> 00:25:05,620
How is it that I caught you?

178
00:25:06,830 --> 00:25:09,200
Your Majesty, you're a Dragon's Son.

179
00:25:10,250 --> 00:25:12,790
I'm just an ordinary man.

180
00:25:22,620 --> 00:25:24,240
I'll kill you.

181
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:34,330
Some say you're plotting a rebellion.

182
00:25:34,660 --> 00:25:35,580
Against whom?

183
00:25:35,790 --> 00:25:38,160
How dare you plot against me!

184
00:25:39,620 --> 00:25:44,290
If l were, why would l have waited this long?

185
00:25:51,290 --> 00:25:52,450
Set him free.

186
00:25:55,660 --> 00:25:57,410
Watch him closely.

187
00:25:59,750 --> 00:26:00,830
Yes, Your Majesty.

188
00:26:06,910 --> 00:26:10,580
Does His Majesty mean to exile him
from his own land?

189
00:26:10,750 --> 00:26:12,290
"Minister Zhang"

190
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:13,660
What do you think?

191
00:26:16,290 --> 00:26:17,830
He can stay with me.

192
00:26:18,290 --> 00:26:20,330
"General Xin"

193
00:26:20,660 --> 00:26:22,160
Minds alert!

194
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,540
Backs firm!

195
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,580
Easy does it!

196
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,120
All together!

197
00:26:29,290 --> 00:26:31,290
Watch your step!

198
00:26:35,370 --> 00:26:38,870
Minister Xiao, why this ostentation?

199
00:26:39,250 --> 00:26:43,040
The bell tower was commissioned by Her Highness.

200
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,160
You are the Emperor.

201
00:26:45,330 --> 00:26:47,240
A little extravagance is expected.

202
00:26:48,370 --> 00:26:51,200
The honor of living here

203
00:26:51,580 --> 00:26:54,200
is enough for me. Keep it simple.

204
00:26:54,370 --> 00:26:55,370
Get rid of it.

205
00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:10,950
This was the Qin Emperor's palace.

206
00:27:11,370 --> 00:27:13,200
Do you remember?

207
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:15,240
Yes, Your Majesty.

208
00:27:15,790 --> 00:27:18,200
Who would have thought

209
00:27:18,660 --> 00:27:25,410
that commoners like us could topple an empire

210
00:27:26,370 --> 00:27:28,580
and live here?

231
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,540
Kings are made, not born!

233
00:30:39,790 --> 00:30:41,700
Seal all paths to the capital.

Absolutely not!

235
00:30:44,410 --> 00:30:46,040
Lord Yu's army is almost here.

236
00:30:46,410 --> 00:30:50,830
Whoever takes the capital first will be its lord.

237
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:54,490
Lord Yu and l had a deal.

238
00:30:56,450 --> 00:30:57,580
Is there a problem?

239
00:30:58,620 --> 00:31:01,160
These royal pigs

240
00:31:02,250 --> 00:31:06,790
why do they get to spoil themselves here all day?

241
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:11,830
I should have died a long time ago.

242
00:31:12,910 --> 00:31:14,450
The Qin Empire may fall

243
00:31:17,580 --> 00:31:20,620
but its dream of uniting the world lives on!

244
00:31:21,750 --> 00:31:23,200
I beg you, Liu

245
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,120
keep the dream alive!

246
00:31:37,540 --> 00:31:38,120
Take him away.

247
00:31:41,620 --> 00:31:43,790
I beg you, Liu!

248
00:31:49,330 --> 00:31:51,700
Find a comfortable place in the city

249
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,790
settle him there.

250
00:31:57,410 --> 00:31:58,870
From today onwards

251
00:31:59,540 --> 00:32:01,660
this place is mine!

252
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,080
Brother Liu!

253
00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:33,080
What's wrong with your legs?

254
00:32:34,540 --> 00:32:38,700
I tested an immortality pill for you

255
00:32:39,370 --> 00:32:42,200
and lost all feeling in them .

256
00:32:42,410 --> 00:32:44,160
The pills can wait.

257
00:32:45,540 --> 00:32:47,120
How is General Xin behaving?

258
00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:54,370
Far less proud.

259
00:32:54,540 --> 00:32:56,660
Locking himself up night and day

260
00:32:56,830 --> 00:32:57,910
chewing on his own mistakes.

261
00:32:58,580 --> 00:33:03,660
You, General Xin, Minister Xiao

262
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:11,660
without you, the empire would not be mine.

263
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,240
Then General Xin was disloyal and I put him away.

264
00:33:16,660 --> 00:33:18,290
Now you're ill.

265
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,580
You've been ill for a long time.

266
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,240
Is something troubling you?

267
00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:25,950
Your Majesty!

268
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,660
Minister Zhang, all these years

269
00:33:30,410 --> 00:33:33,580
whenever I listened to you, victory was mine

270
00:33:35,410 --> 00:33:39,580
if I ignored you, disaster would come upon me.

271
00:33:41,450 --> 00:33:42,450
Xiao!

272
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,990
Take everything!

273
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:46,910
Leave nothing!

274
00:33:47,620 --> 00:33:48,620
Xiao!

275
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,790
Who authorized this?

276
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,290
Are you out of your mind?

277
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,450
Where is Liu?

278
00:34:01,620 --> 00:34:03,620
"The Qin Palace"

279
00:34:04,660 --> 00:34:05,990
Out of my way!

280
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,950
I can't let you in.

281
00:34:13,450 --> 00:34:14,830
If you don't

282
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,540
Liu will be dead by sunrise.

283
00:34:26,370 --> 00:34:27,370
Who's there?

284
00:34:28,330 --> 00:34:29,410
What do you want?

285
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,120
It's me.

286
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,080
Zhang.

287
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,160
Zhang.

288
00:34:39,330 --> 00:34:41,200
I'm almost done.

289
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:43,580
This may be the last time I'll see you.

290
00:34:47,290 --> 00:34:48,490
What do you mean?

291
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,330
It's Lord Yu.

292
00:34:51,830 --> 00:34:53,740
His army of 400,000

293
00:34:53,910 --> 00:34:56,040
has broken through the Hangu Pass

294
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,330
and will attack us by morning.

295
00:35:05,830 --> 00:35:06,910
And my troops?

296
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,240
Some fled .

297
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,160
Some surrendered.

298
00:35:10,330 --> 00:35:11,660
They're all gone.

299
00:35:15,660 --> 00:35:17,370
"Liu's Camp"

300
00:35:17,540 --> 00:35:18,870
How long must l wait?

301
00:35:20,370 --> 00:35:21,240
Brother Bo.

302
00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:24,540
I'm not here for you.

303
00:35:24,910 --> 00:35:26,540
I'm here for Zhang.

304
00:35:26,870 --> 00:35:29,240
Bo has advised me to flee.

305
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,120
Brother Bo

306
00:35:31,330 --> 00:35:33,870
I've always been loyal to Lord Yu.

307
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,540
I heard you've moved into the palace.

308
00:35:38,290 --> 00:35:39,370
Absolutely not!

309
00:35:39,540 --> 00:35:40,830
Liu's been living at the camp.

310
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,240
He hasn't set foot in the palace.

311
00:35:42,410 --> 00:35:43,580
Brother Bo

312
00:35:43,750 --> 00:35:45,290
Zhang is right.

313
00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:47,240
I never touched anything in the palace.

314
00:35:47,410 --> 00:35:48,410
Stop.

315
00:35:49,330 --> 00:35:50,580
Let's suppose l believe you .

316
00:35:51,450 --> 00:35:52,620
What about Lord Yu?

317
00:35:53,370 --> 00:35:54,950
What about the others?

318
00:35:55,250 --> 00:35:56,370
Brother Bo

319
00:35:56,540 --> 00:35:58,540
Liu couldn't have been more wronged.

320
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,490
If you can't save him

321
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:02,830
I'll die defending him.

322
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,740
Please do something.

323
00:36:04,910 --> 00:36:06,240
Brother Bo. . .

324
00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:07,910
Tomorrow morning

325
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,120
Lord Yu's troops will be upon you .

326
00:36:10,370 --> 00:36:11,740
What can I do at this hour?

327
00:36:11,910 --> 00:36:12,950
HeIp me, Brother Bo.

328
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:13,740
But. . .

329
00:36:13,910 --> 00:36:17,620
I've done no wrong.

330
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,950
Brother Bo

331
00:36:29,540 --> 00:36:30,950
you have a son

332
00:36:31,700 --> 00:36:33,160
I have a daughter.

333
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,790
Let us join families.

334
00:36:36,660 --> 00:36:38,910
I've always been loyal.

335
00:36:39,830 --> 00:36:41,290
Now you see my true heart.

336
00:36:42,290 --> 00:36:43,540
Perhaps

337
00:36:44,330 --> 00:36:45,790
I could hurry back tonight

338
00:36:45,950 --> 00:36:47,660
and talk to Lord Yu.

339
00:36:49,540 --> 00:36:52,160
Thank you, Brother Bo.

340
00:36:52,750 --> 00:36:55,620
But tomorrow at first light

341
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,620
you must see Lord Yu yourself.

342
00:37:01,910 --> 00:37:02,790
Liu

343
00:37:02,950 --> 00:37:04,330
I'll go with you.

344
00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:07,040
I should be going.

345
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:10,200
Goodbye.

346
00:37:10,330 --> 00:37:11,540
Goodbye.

347
00:37:25,410 --> 00:37:29,660
"Minister Bo"

348
00:37:38,330 --> 00:37:41,660
Minister Bo, you're here.

349
00:37:41,870 --> 00:37:45,660
At your royal summons, Your Majesty.

350
00:37:46,750 --> 00:37:47,790
And today

351
00:37:47,950 --> 00:37:51,410
I've brought something for you, Your Majesty.

352
00:37:53,410 --> 00:37:54,490
Come.

353
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:10,910
All right.

354
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,240
leave us.

355
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,410
Minister Bo

356
00:38:16,870 --> 00:38:20,410
you are here today so l can ask you

357
00:38:21,370 --> 00:38:25,240
why General Xin deserted Lord Yu

358
00:38:25,450 --> 00:38:27,330
and came to me.

359
00:38:27,830 --> 00:38:32,370
I haven't a clue, Your Majesty.

360
00:38:32,910 --> 00:38:35,290
You were with Lord Yu.

361
00:38:37,660 --> 00:38:40,740
You were Lord Yu's uncle

362
00:38:41,750 --> 00:38:43,870
his closest kin.

363
00:38:45,750 --> 00:38:47,120
Weren't you?

364
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:50,620
Are you writing this?

365
00:38:50,790 --> 00:38:52,540
Yes, Your Majesty.

366
00:38:53,250 --> 00:38:56,290
General Xin left him after the banquet

367
00:38:56,910 --> 00:38:59,120
when the Qin were crushed

368
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:02,740
and Lord Yu was at the height of his power.

369
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,490
Why would General Xin desert him at that moment?

370
00:39:08,410 --> 00:39:11,870
His record is questionable.

371
00:39:13,910 --> 00:39:17,620
Your Majesty sees all.

372
00:39:25,790 --> 00:39:29,620
Some truths are never told

373
00:39:30,950 --> 00:39:35,910
such as why General Xin
left Lord Yu and came to me.

374
00:39:36,790 --> 00:39:38,240
Nonetheless,

375
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,620
I never thought about killing General Xin

376
00:39:42,830 --> 00:39:45,790
or I would not have kept him
prisoner for six years.

377
00:39:46,910 --> 00:39:51,830
My ministers revealed General Xin's threat.

378
00:39:55,330 --> 00:39:59,950
They lit a raging fire inside me.

379
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,370
Has General Xin been at court recently?

380
00:40:15,290 --> 00:40:17,160
It seems so.

381
00:40:17,500 --> 00:40:18,910
Nonsense!

382
00:40:20,250 --> 00:40:22,200
He has been at court only once!

383
00:40:22,620 --> 00:40:23,990
Only once!

384
00:40:24,450 --> 00:40:26,200
You think I don't know?

385
00:40:26,540 --> 00:40:28,330
Minister Zhang told me that General Xin. . .

386
00:40:28,500 --> 00:40:30,290
You and Minister Zhang

387
00:40:31,330 --> 00:40:34,830
the two of you are always covering for him.

388
00:40:36,540 --> 00:40:38,700
I don't go to court

389
00:40:39,790 --> 00:40:42,330
but I know everything that happens there.

390
00:40:43,830 --> 00:40:45,660
That little bastard

391
00:40:46,540 --> 00:40:48,370
was only at court once

392
00:40:48,540 --> 00:40:50,830
wearing his phony funeral face.

393
00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:53,240
Whose death is he waiting for?

394
00:40:53,410 --> 00:40:55,950
Tell me. It's mine, isn't it?

395
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,790
Your Majesty, who's telling you all this?

396
00:40:59,950 --> 00:41:02,080
I'll never tell you .

397
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:04,080
I'm asking you, is it true?

398
00:41:04,540 --> 00:41:05,290
Stay away!

399
00:41:05,450 --> 00:41:06,410
Get off!

400
00:41:06,750 --> 00:41:08,790
I'm telling you , I will kill him!

401
00:41:09,540 --> 00:41:11,490
Your Majesty, don't.

402
00:41:11,700 --> 00:41:13,540
I beg you, Your Majesty.

403
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:15,620
Were it not for General Xin

404
00:41:15,790 --> 00:41:17,660
we wouldn't be here today.

405
00:41:17,830 --> 00:41:20,740
It was he who defeated Lord Yu

406
00:41:20,910 --> 00:41:24,240
and conquered two-thirds of our territory.

407
00:41:24,620 --> 00:41:28,790
What would the people think if we killed him?

408
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,450
I'm sick and tired of this!

409
00:41:32,910 --> 00:41:34,490
We all fought together.

410
00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:36,370
Everyone pIayed his part.

411
00:41:36,750 --> 00:41:38,910
Everyone earned his credit.

412
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,740
Why should he get all the glory?

413
00:41:48,580 --> 00:41:49,540
Get back!

414
00:41:50,910 --> 00:41:53,080
Your Majesty.

415
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:25,660
Send for my wife.

416
00:42:26,290 --> 00:42:28,120
I'm here, Your Majesty.

417
00:42:41,910 --> 00:42:44,330
My wife.

418
00:42:52,580 --> 00:42:53,990
Yes, it's me.

419
00:42:57,290 --> 00:43:00,120
Liu, from Pei County.

420
00:43:01,790 --> 00:43:03,540
My nightmare.

421
00:43:04,410 --> 00:43:08,330
"Lord Yu's Camp, site of the Hongmen Banquet"

422
00:43:09,290 --> 00:43:11,700
My nightmare.

423
00:43:16,450 --> 00:43:19,410
The people are predators,

424
00:43:22,750 --> 00:43:25,120
I am their prey.

425
00:43:38,410 --> 00:43:44,370
Whenever danger strikes

426
00:43:46,450 --> 00:43:52,040
I feel transported back eleven years

427
00:43:52,250 --> 00:43:55,580
to Lord Yu's banquet.

428
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,450
To Lord Yu's camp,

429
00:44:02,410 --> 00:44:06,870
where death lurked around every corner.

430
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:23,040
It was my last meeting with Lord Yu .

431
00:44:30,830 --> 00:44:32,540
The Qin imperial seal.

432
00:44:33,250 --> 00:44:34,740
For you, My Lord.

433
00:44:44,790 --> 00:44:51,490
It was aIso the darkest,
most frightening moment of my life.

434
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:28,410
Who dares touch my Brother Liu!

435
00:49:29,540 --> 00:49:30,950
What are you waiting for?

436
00:49:33,750 --> 00:49:34,740
Kill him!

437
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:35,700
Wait.

438
00:49:35,870 --> 00:49:36,790
What for?

439
00:49:36,950 --> 00:49:39,080
Do it now!

440
00:49:50,950 --> 00:49:52,740
On your knees!

441
00:50:11,830 --> 00:50:13,830
Did you or didn't you enter the Qin palace?

442
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:17,740
I didn't enter the palace.

443
00:50:17,910 --> 00:50:19,290
Of course

444
00:50:21,250 --> 00:50:24,490
you entered the palace.

445
00:50:41,290 --> 00:50:42,580
Speak!

446
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,700
I never entered the Qin palace.

447
00:50:54,410 --> 00:50:56,740
At Lord Yu's banquet

448
00:50:57,450 --> 00:51:02,240
I pretended to be drunk and fled .

449
00:51:13,750 --> 00:51:19,870
I ran and ran.

450
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:21,240
One day

451
00:51:24,660 --> 00:51:29,200
you will all be his servants!

452
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,740
I ran for my life.

453
00:51:37,750 --> 00:51:43,160
But I knew in my heart it was
Lord Yu who had let me go.

454
00:51:51,950 --> 00:51:55,160
He knew the Qin palace was like a key

455
00:51:56,620 --> 00:51:59,790
that unlocks a man's ambition.

456
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:15,950
I am sure General Xin's ambition
was unlocked as he entered.

457
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,200
HaIt!

458
00:52:49,660 --> 00:52:50,870
My Lord.

459
00:52:52,370 --> 00:52:54,160
It's General Xin.

460
00:52:55,580 --> 00:52:58,620
What are you doing here, General Xin?

461
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,490
Please forgive me, My Lord.

462
00:53:05,870 --> 00:53:07,200
There's something you should see.

463
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,620
They're all fake.

464
00:53:17,910 --> 00:53:19,330
He did enter the palace.

465
00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:21,120
That liar!

466
00:53:21,450 --> 00:53:24,040
We should have killed him at the banquet.

467
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:25,990
That bastard should have been killed!

468
00:53:29,450 --> 00:53:31,580
Of course he entered the palace.

469
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,790
I knew it.

470
00:53:41,660 --> 00:53:44,660
Don't you know no one is to
enter the palace alone?

471
00:53:49,330 --> 00:53:50,990
You want to be like Liu.

472
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:13,660
Tell me the truth.

473
00:54:15,660 --> 00:54:17,660
Was Liu ever here?

474
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,160
If you don't tell me, I'll kill you.

475
00:54:30,910 --> 00:54:32,080
So be it.

476
00:54:42,700 --> 00:54:45,040
I now realize why

477
00:54:46,250 --> 00:54:49,240
The Qin Emperor brought me to his palace.

478
00:54:50,830 --> 00:54:56,580
To plant a seed of ambition in my heart.

479
00:54:58,660 --> 00:55:01,080
When that seed sprouts

480
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,370
I will become the sword of revenge.

481
00:55:06,870 --> 00:55:15,040
Down with the Qin Empire!

482
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:53,740
Long live

483
00:55:55,910 --> 00:55:57,330
the Qin Empire.

484
00:55:59,660 --> 00:56:17,950
The Qin Empire has fallen!

485
00:56:25,290 --> 00:56:29,080
This was the Qin Emperor's palace.

486
00:56:30,370 --> 00:56:33,620
Many people have suggested that I live here.

487
00:56:35,410 --> 00:56:36,580
Never.

488
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:38,410
I will destroy it

489
00:56:38,580 --> 00:56:40,370
to remove the temptation

490
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,490
of becoming another Qin Emperor.

491
00:56:48,500 --> 00:56:49,950
We didn't overthrow the Qin Empire

492
00:56:50,540 --> 00:56:52,700
to follow in their footsteps.

493
00:56:53,910 --> 00:56:55,990
The Qin Emperor unified the world

494
00:56:56,370 --> 00:56:59,580
decreeing that all must wear the same color

495
00:57:00,500 --> 00:57:02,410
ride the same carriages

496
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:04,870
speak the same language

497
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:12,540
Most people

498
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,080
need a lifetime to see themselves clearly.

499
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:17,370
As for me

500
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,040
during my days in my hometown

501
00:57:21,750 --> 00:57:22,950
my life was like

502
00:57:23,450 --> 00:57:25,200
water at the bottom of a weIl.

503
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:27,870
Modest and unstirred.

504
00:57:37,950 --> 00:57:40,740
But after l entered the Qin Palace

505
00:57:41,540 --> 00:57:44,040
a door was unlocked.

506
00:57:45,410 --> 00:57:48,200
And l saw that deep within my heart

507
00:57:48,620 --> 00:57:51,490
ambition raged like an ocean.

508
00:58:00,910 --> 00:58:03,790
I've divided the empire into 19 kingdoms

509
00:58:04,330 --> 00:58:05,450
to share with you, my brothers

510
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,910
who fought alongside me.

511
00:58:09,700 --> 00:58:11,370
Return to your kingdoms.

512
00:58:11,540 --> 00:58:12,910
Speak your own languages.

513
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:14,740
Write your own history.

514
00:58:20,790 --> 00:58:22,370
Liu, of Pei County

515
00:58:22,620 --> 00:58:24,290
first to conquer the capital

516
00:58:24,750 --> 00:58:26,450
captured the Qin Emperor

517
00:58:26,910 --> 00:58:28,580
for which he is to be praised .

518
00:58:28,950 --> 00:58:31,450
You are hereby made King of Han

519
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:36,080
to govern the lands of Ba, Shu and Hanzhong.

520
00:58:36,700 --> 00:58:39,290
Nanzheng will be your capital.

521
00:58:44,330 --> 00:58:47,490
I don't know why Lord Yu spared me.

522
00:58:52,750 --> 00:58:54,830
Or why he spared General Xin.

523
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:57,830
He let General Xin live.

524
00:59:00,500 --> 00:59:02,370
Such is the nobleman

525
00:59:02,950 --> 00:59:05,740
who sees his own glory

526
00:59:06,290 --> 00:59:08,790
but is blind to the ambitions of others.

527
00:59:10,330 --> 00:59:14,660
That day, General Xin, an ordinary soldier

528
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,830
left Lord Yu

529
00:59:17,580 --> 00:59:20,080
and joined my army.

530
00:59:23,370 --> 00:59:25,540
On Xiao's recommendation,

531
00:59:26,290 --> 00:59:28,580
he became my chief general.

532
00:59:29,540 --> 00:59:31,660
Five years later

533
00:59:32,910 --> 00:59:35,240
General Xin and l showed Lord Yu

534
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,540
that he had made a fatal mistake.

535
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:17,540
"203 BC Gaixia battlefield"

536
01:00:17,700 --> 01:00:21,200
"General Xin defeated Lord Yu
with an army of 300,000."

537
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,200
Spare yourself the labor.

538
01:05:28,250 --> 01:05:29,990
Leave it to the servants.

539
01:05:30,870 --> 01:05:32,160
I'm used to it.

540
01:05:46,950 --> 01:05:48,330
You can go.

541
01:05:52,790 --> 01:05:54,290
As you wish.

542
01:06:51,370 --> 01:06:53,490
Stop it, Your Majesty.

543
01:06:55,410 --> 01:06:57,040
You are not recovered yet.

544
01:07:09,250 --> 01:07:10,990
It's getting late.

545
01:07:11,750 --> 01:07:13,830
You should get some rest.

546
01:07:45,620 --> 01:07:48,540
Liu, from Pei County.

547
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,620
Liu, from Pei County.

548
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:17,950
Your Majesty?

549
01:08:20,580 --> 01:08:22,080
What's wrong, Your Majesty?

550
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,910
Do you hear that?

551
01:08:27,410 --> 01:08:30,080
Someone's trying to kill me.

552
01:08:36,500 --> 01:08:38,330
You already killed Lord Yu.

553
01:08:40,370 --> 01:08:41,910
Don't worry.

554
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:46,830
Get some rest.

555
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,080
I am not the man

556
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:54,660
who killed Lord Yu.

557
01:08:58,790 --> 01:09:01,330
That man is still alive.

558
01:09:06,410 --> 01:09:07,450
Get out.

559
01:09:12,250 --> 01:09:13,450
There is trouble.

560
01:09:14,500 --> 01:09:15,580
What happened?

561
01:09:15,750 --> 01:09:17,410
The rumors are growing.

562
01:09:17,830 --> 01:09:19,540
What do they say?

563
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,240
They say you are dying.

564
01:09:26,620 --> 01:09:27,910
Impossible.

565
01:09:28,370 --> 01:09:32,240
The ministers in court are paying
respect to General Xin

566
01:09:37,660 --> 01:09:39,910
I never should have trusted those cowards.

567
01:09:42,250 --> 01:09:43,540
I will go.

568
01:09:45,750 --> 01:09:46,740
I will go.

569
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:48,950
I'll grace their court.

570
01:09:49,330 --> 01:09:51,200
I'm not dead yet

571
01:09:52,370 --> 01:09:54,160
Send for General Xin .

572
01:09:55,620 --> 01:09:57,830
Bring that bastard to me.

573
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:06,450
The last person Minister Chen

574
01:10:06,620 --> 01:10:08,330
met with before leaving

575
01:10:09,370 --> 01:10:11,330
was General Xin.

576
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:13,790
He went to Minister Zhang's home

577
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:15,620
met with him and General Xin

578
01:10:15,790 --> 01:10:17,330
returned home and revolted.

579
01:10:17,830 --> 01:10:19,700
Minister Zhang would never.

580
01:10:20,660 --> 01:10:22,240
Minister Zhang wouldn't do that.

581
01:10:22,410 --> 01:10:24,080
I know he met with Minister Zhang.

582
01:10:29,370 --> 01:10:34,540
Minister Zhang's servant reports to me.

583
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:40,200
The ministers fear for their life.

584
01:10:45,660 --> 01:10:47,450
Pay Minister Zhang a visit.

585
01:10:50,250 --> 01:10:52,910
As long as he and Minister Xiao are on my side

586
01:10:54,870 --> 01:10:56,540
all will be well.

587
01:10:59,370 --> 01:11:01,620
Take my sedan.

588
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,950
My humblest regards, Your Highness.

589
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,660
His Majesty told me you've been living modestly.

590
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,870
He asked me to have the mansion refurbished.

591
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:41,330
A gift.

592
01:11:45,950 --> 01:11:47,540
My humblest gratitude.

593
01:11:47,870 --> 01:11:49,620
General Xin has been loyal.

594
01:11:50,500 --> 01:11:52,200
Why would His Majesty want to kill him?

595
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,740
Does His Majesty need a reason to kill anyone?

596
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:57,450
But he is General Xin.

597
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:01,200
If there's no reason

598
01:12:01,370 --> 01:12:03,410
how do we know we won't be next?

599
01:12:03,950 --> 01:12:06,790
General Xin was with Lord Yu

600
01:12:07,330 --> 01:12:08,910
then defected to us

601
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:10,790
then defeated Lord Yu on our service.

602
01:12:11,500 --> 01:12:14,740
A man like him might be with us today

603
01:12:15,790 --> 01:12:17,790
and rebel tomorrow.

604
01:12:18,540 --> 01:12:20,200
Not General Xin.

605
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:22,580
If he wanted to rebeI

606
01:12:24,790 --> 01:12:26,200
he'd have already done it.

607
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:28,910
Back then, he ruled 72 cities.

608
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,490
His armies exceeded Lord Yu and
His Majesty's combined.

609
01:12:32,950 --> 01:12:34,660
I convinced him to join us.

610
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:36,290
To finish Lord Yu .

611
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:39,870
And now you want me to kill him?

612
01:12:41,830 --> 01:12:43,200
I can't do it.

613
01:12:44,540 --> 01:12:47,160
Your Highness, I beg you.

614
01:12:48,250 --> 01:12:50,540
Give him one more chance.

615
01:13:06,700 --> 01:13:08,540
His Majesty has always held you in high regard.

616
01:13:12,450 --> 01:13:14,790
But he has some concerns.

617
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,450
When you asked him to make you King of Shandong

618
01:13:25,450 --> 01:13:26,330
it made him upset.

619
01:13:26,500 --> 01:13:29,080
I conquered half the country for him

620
01:13:29,950 --> 01:13:31,790
and crushed Lord Yu .

621
01:13:32,330 --> 01:13:33,990
Was King of Shandong too much to ask?

622
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,700
You commit yourself to potions these days.

623
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,540
Not because your heart is weak

624
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,290
but to convince His Majesty

625
01:13:48,910 --> 01:13:50,160
that you are old

626
01:13:51,620 --> 01:13:53,040
that you are ill

627
01:13:53,830 --> 01:13:55,830
that you are free of ambition

628
01:13:56,410 --> 01:13:59,040
and no longer a threat to him.

629
01:14:00,330 --> 01:14:01,660
You can't fool me.

630
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:03,790
You are too sharp.

631
01:14:05,870 --> 01:14:07,870
But if a blade is too sharp

632
01:14:08,410 --> 01:14:10,160
it not only cuts others

633
01:14:11,500 --> 01:14:13,040
it cuts you as well.

634
01:14:15,410 --> 01:14:17,540
Do you know why l'm different from His Majesty?

635
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,330
Do you know how I differ from you all?

636
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:26,410
The way I see it

637
01:14:28,290 --> 01:14:32,540
the world belongs to all people under heaven.

638
01:14:35,250 --> 01:14:36,620
Do you still remember

639
01:14:38,450 --> 01:14:40,950
the battle cry of the people

640
01:14:41,790 --> 01:14:43,700
when we rose against the Qin Empire?

641
01:14:46,580 --> 01:14:53,160
Kings are made, not born!

642
01:14:53,330 --> 01:14:54,450
Stop!

643
01:14:55,500 --> 01:14:57,410
Stop, l beg you!

644
01:14:58,790 --> 01:15:00,040
Brother Xin

645
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,740
never utter these words again.

646
01:15:08,450 --> 01:15:14,120
Times have changed .

647
01:15:16,700 --> 01:15:20,120
Kings are made, not born.

648
01:15:22,750 --> 01:15:25,290
His Majesty held General Xin prisoner for 6 years

649
01:15:25,700 --> 01:15:28,080
hoping his heart might change.

650
01:15:30,500 --> 01:15:31,740
Has he changed?

651
01:15:31,910 --> 01:15:33,080
No, he hasn't.

652
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,290
His Majesty's days are numbered.

653
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:40,120
The rest of us are getting old.

654
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,660
General Xin's only in his thirties.

655
01:15:47,620 --> 01:15:50,620
The elderly struggle to preserve the status quo

656
01:15:51,450 --> 01:15:54,700
while the youth long for change.

657
01:15:57,950 --> 01:15:59,370
It's human nature.

658
01:15:59,750 --> 01:16:01,410
No one can stop it.

659
01:16:04,660 --> 01:16:08,910
Lord Yu was the noblest man I've ever known .

660
01:16:09,410 --> 01:16:12,790
He had many chances to kill His Majesty

661
01:16:13,450 --> 01:16:15,620
and to kill me.

662
01:16:21,660 --> 01:16:23,660
But he didn't.

663
01:16:27,450 --> 01:16:29,160
He let me go.

664
01:16:34,540 --> 01:16:37,120
He let His Majesty go.

665
01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:41,040
As a result

666
01:16:41,370 --> 01:16:44,700
his body lies in the ground.

667
01:16:45,910 --> 01:16:48,240
A voice from the dust

668
01:16:48,870 --> 01:16:52,200
crying out from the grave.

669
01:16:54,250 --> 01:16:55,790
Don't make the same mistake!

670
01:16:57,370 --> 01:17:00,200
Don't throw your life away in vain!

671
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:13,160
You'd best reconsider.

672
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:28,410
Your Highness!

673
01:17:37,450 --> 01:17:40,040
Among General Xin's men

674
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:46,660
thirteen are still in command .

675
01:17:49,620 --> 01:17:52,410
Send them northwest to quell the rebels.

676
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:00,200
General Xin's strategist has served him for years.

677
01:18:02,620 --> 01:18:03,910
Cunning, eloquent.

678
01:18:04,370 --> 01:18:06,240
A snake in the grass.

679
01:18:07,290 --> 01:18:09,120
Had General Xin listened to me

680
01:18:09,290 --> 01:18:10,660
none of this would be happening!

681
01:18:19,950 --> 01:18:21,950
Minister Xiao is the key.

682
01:18:26,700 --> 01:18:30,870
He's closest to General Xin .

683
01:18:31,830 --> 01:18:35,120
He has the ear of the court.

684
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:42,950
What's to be done?

685
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:51,410
I'm thinking.

686
01:18:55,750 --> 01:18:57,660
I'm thinking.

687
01:19:01,370 --> 01:19:02,740
Your Highness!

688
01:19:10,290 --> 01:19:11,620
Your Highness

689
01:19:12,790 --> 01:19:18,330
His Majesty once promised my son a marriage.

690
01:19:19,790 --> 01:19:21,700
Is it still to be?

691
01:19:23,660 --> 01:19:25,160
Let me think about it.

692
01:19:43,910 --> 01:19:45,290
It's over.

693
01:19:51,830 --> 01:19:54,240
I've reviewed the record of Lord Yu's banquet.

694
01:19:55,750 --> 01:19:57,790
It doesn't make any sense.

695
01:19:59,700 --> 01:20:03,290
The founding of the Han Dynasty
is written for posterity.

696
01:20:03,700 --> 01:20:05,160
Not a single mistake is allowed .

697
01:20:07,450 --> 01:20:08,830
Understand?

698
01:20:09,500 --> 01:20:11,240
Minister, for every new record

699
01:20:11,410 --> 01:20:14,790
we speak with those who witnessed the event.

700
01:20:14,910 --> 01:20:18,040
For Lord Yu's banquet, we spoke with Minister Fan.

701
01:20:19,330 --> 01:20:21,620
No wonder His Majesty's rescue is credited to him .

702
01:20:21,790 --> 01:20:23,950
is credited to him .

703
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:28,200
300 fully armed guards outside the tent

704
01:20:28,750 --> 01:20:31,080
and 28 bodyguards inside the tent.

705
01:20:31,750 --> 01:20:34,240
How could he have possibly stormed in alone?

706
01:20:36,540 --> 01:20:38,240
If he were that cunning

707
01:20:38,540 --> 01:20:40,580
we could have defeated Lord Yu years ago!

708
01:20:43,500 --> 01:20:44,910
According to the record

709
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:48,240
Ministers Fan and Zhang, with 100 men

710
01:20:48,790 --> 01:20:50,790
accompanied His Majesty to the banquet.

711
01:20:51,370 --> 01:20:53,240
Upon entering the camp

712
01:20:53,450 --> 01:20:56,040
they surrendered their weapons.

713
01:20:56,330 --> 01:20:58,990
Yet, when Minister Fan stormed in

714
01:20:59,620 --> 01:21:01,700
he had a shield in his hand .

715
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:04,830
Who dares touch my Brother Liu!

716
01:21:08,620 --> 01:21:10,450
Where did the shield come from?

717
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:14,290
During the banquet

718
01:21:14,450 --> 01:21:16,160
The swordsman tried to kill His Majesty.

719
01:21:16,540 --> 01:21:18,290
Minister Zhang ran outside for help

720
01:21:18,870 --> 01:21:20,790
striding through 300 guards

721
01:21:20,950 --> 01:21:23,240
with Minister Fan

722
01:21:23,410 --> 01:21:25,410
without being stopped .

723
01:21:29,290 --> 01:21:30,410
How is it possible?

724
01:21:32,450 --> 01:21:35,830
The swordsman tried to kill His Majesty.

725
01:21:36,580 --> 01:21:38,160
He had a sword.

726
01:21:38,500 --> 01:21:40,040
No doubt about it.

727
01:21:40,620 --> 01:21:44,120
Then Minister Bo defended His Majesty,
also with a sword

728
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:47,620
which I really don't understand.

729
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:49,830
This was supposed to be a banquet.

730
01:21:50,370 --> 01:21:53,910
No one was supposed to be armed.

731
01:21:55,910 --> 01:21:59,410
So where did Minister Bo's sword come from?

732
01:22:03,910 --> 01:22:07,080
As scribes, you must respect history.

733
01:22:08,500 --> 01:22:09,950
Or posterity

734
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:12,790
will receive fiction instead of facts!

735
01:22:23,500 --> 01:22:24,950
Get up.

736
01:22:27,660 --> 01:22:29,040
All of you!

737
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,740
At Lord Yu's banquet

738
01:22:39,620 --> 01:22:42,910
someone was secretly protecting His Majesty.

739
01:22:44,830 --> 01:22:50,950
Lord Yu knew many of his men
wanted to kill His Majesty.

740
01:22:51,830 --> 01:22:54,830
So he sent someone

741
01:22:55,620 --> 01:22:59,740
to protect him during the banquet.

742
01:23:16,700 --> 01:23:17,740
Zhang.

743
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:21,910
Step aside!

744
01:23:32,580 --> 01:23:33,580
Step aside!

745
01:23:44,790 --> 01:23:45,620
Step aside!

746
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:00,580
Who dares touch my Brother Liu!

747
01:24:01,700 --> 01:24:03,120
This man

748
01:24:03,620 --> 01:24:07,580
was Lord Yu's bodyguard

749
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:09,450
General Xin.

750
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:20,790
Have you aIl written

751
01:24:21,580 --> 01:24:23,330
everything I've said?

752
01:24:40,330 --> 01:24:41,620
Why haven't you written a single word?

753
01:24:41,830 --> 01:24:42,950
How dare you!

754
01:24:50,580 --> 01:24:51,660
Minister Xiao.

755
01:24:52,330 --> 01:24:53,490
Your Highness.

756
01:25:56,410 --> 01:25:57,580
Minister Xiao

757
01:25:58,450 --> 01:26:00,740
I've heard everything.

758
01:26:01,870 --> 01:26:05,830
You're trying to save General Xin, aren't you?

759
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,990
But General Xin's history
has already been written.

760
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:14,910
I don't see that any revision is necessary.

761
01:26:15,910 --> 01:26:17,200
Already written?

762
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:20,240
Come.

763
01:26:23,250 --> 01:26:28,950
General Xin.

764
01:26:35,330 --> 01:26:36,450
Read it.

765
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:40,450
In the 11th spring of the Han Dynasty

766
01:26:40,620 --> 01:26:45,160
General Xin, along with convicts and slaves

767
01:26:45,450 --> 01:26:47,910
plotted an attack on Her Highness and the prince. . .

768
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:49,160
Wait.

769
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:56,950
Plotted an attack with convicts and slaves?

770
01:27:03,700 --> 01:27:07,580
Nonsense! Absolute nonsense!

771
01:27:07,830 --> 01:27:11,870
. . .and was executed by
Her Highness in the bell tower

772
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:16,620
at the age of 35, along with his family.

773
01:27:26,830 --> 01:27:30,330
What have you done?

774
01:27:33,750 --> 01:27:35,120
Your Highness

775
01:27:35,450 --> 01:27:37,660
Ministers Zhang and Bo are on their way.

776
01:27:38,500 --> 01:27:40,120
They can prove

777
01:27:40,290 --> 01:27:43,200
that General Xin never plotted any treachery.

778
01:27:43,830 --> 01:27:47,580
That he saved His Majesty at Lord Yu's banquet!

779
01:27:47,830 --> 01:27:49,330
Listen to me, all of you!

780
01:27:49,500 --> 01:27:50,580
As soon as they get here

781
01:27:50,750 --> 01:27:53,040
take down their every word .

782
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:54,870
Present it to His Majesty.

783
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:56,540
I will present it to His Majesty.

784
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:01,240
Minister Xiao

785
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,870
Minister Zhang is suffering from leg pain.

786
01:28:05,370 --> 01:28:07,370
I'm afraid he won't make it.

787
01:28:13,370 --> 01:28:17,120
I'm afraid Minister Bo won't be coming, either.

788
01:28:17,950 --> 01:28:18,910
Why not?

789
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:25,120
Read.

790
01:28:26,450 --> 01:28:28,240
In the 11th spring of the Han Dynasty

791
01:28:28,500 --> 01:28:32,580
Minister Bo was granted a royal audience.

792
01:28:32,750 --> 01:28:35,990
In light of his age and loyal service

793
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:38,080
His Majesty granted him the royal surname Liu .

794
01:28:38,450 --> 01:28:41,290
On his way back, he was stabbed.

795
01:28:42,910 --> 01:28:44,080
No!

796
01:28:44,950 --> 01:28:46,700
Impossible!

797
01:28:47,410 --> 01:28:49,870
Minister Bo is on his way here now.

798
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:51,160
Minister Xiao

799
01:28:51,540 --> 01:28:54,200
not everything written in books comes to pass.

800
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:57,290
Indeed.

801
01:28:57,580 --> 01:28:58,990
That's true.

802
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:04,450
Your Highness

803
01:29:04,950 --> 01:29:06,290
Minister Xiao

804
01:29:06,750 --> 01:29:08,120
Minister Bo

805
01:29:08,290 --> 01:29:11,240
was indeed stabbed today at noon.

806
01:29:11,540 --> 01:29:13,240
I saw it with my own eyes.

807
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:07,660
It seems that books do tell the truth.

808
01:30:14,660 --> 01:30:15,990
Your Highness

809
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:19,160
have you also

810
01:30:20,790 --> 01:30:22,370
written my history?

811
01:30:47,830 --> 01:30:49,910
I've discussed this matter with His Majesty.

812
01:30:51,750 --> 01:30:52,870
Your history

813
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:56,660
is to be written by you.

814
01:30:58,290 --> 01:31:00,040
I need to see His Majesty.

815
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:41,080
I need to see His Majesty.

816
01:31:41,250 --> 01:31:42,870
His Majesty is not well.

817
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:44,580
I need to see His Majesty!

818
01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:46,910
His Majesty is not well.

819
01:32:54,410 --> 01:32:55,330
Minister Xiao

820
01:32:55,540 --> 01:32:58,700
Her Highness says the banquet will begin soon.

821
01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:01,660
Please send for General Xin.

822
01:33:03,580 --> 01:33:05,330
So be it.

823
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:13,080
Her Highness is hosting a banquet tonight

824
01:34:13,410 --> 01:34:15,240
and has asked me to invite you.

825
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:10,450
Brother Xin!

826
01:38:46,580 --> 01:38:47,990
General Xin

827
01:38:49,580 --> 01:38:51,490
I cannot go any further.

828
01:39:19,870 --> 01:39:21,660
Please inform His Majesty.

829
01:40:43,330 --> 01:40:44,790
General Xin has plotted treason

830
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:48,200
with Minister Chen and other traitors

831
01:40:48,450 --> 01:40:53,830
against Her Highness and the prince.

832
01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:55,660
An unpardonable offense.

833
01:41:00,290 --> 01:41:03,120
His Majesty's will be done.

834
01:41:07,750 --> 01:41:09,910
Given his notable service

835
01:41:14,290 --> 01:41:15,830
let him die intact.

836
01:45:46,410 --> 01:45:48,450
Remember

837
01:45:50,870 --> 01:45:54,450
how your Dragon's Son rumor

838
01:45:56,580 --> 01:45:59,790
almost got me killed?

839
01:46:47,750 --> 01:46:51,330
I'm here, Your Majesty.

840
01:46:57,370 --> 01:46:59,910
I have brought General Xin.

841
01:47:02,330 --> 01:47:08,330
What did he say?

842
01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:51,370
"Spring 195 BC. Emperor Liu died at the Han Palace."

843
01:48:27,450 --> 01:48:28,910
My name is Liu.

844
01:48:30,660 --> 01:48:33,240
I am the first Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

845
01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:37,450
When I was 61

846
01:48:39,250 --> 01:48:41,950
my story came to an end .

847
01:48:44,370 --> 01:48:46,330
A commoner

848
01:48:47,830 --> 01:48:49,740
became Emperor.

849
01:48:55,580 --> 01:48:57,330
I never could have known

850
01:48:58,580 --> 01:48:59,990
that upon my death

851
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:05,370
my wife would kill all my concubines' sons.

852
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:10,240
Nor could l have known

853
01:49:11,410 --> 01:49:13,120
that 2000 years later

854
01:49:14,250 --> 01:49:17,700
the Han would be the largest race in the land.

855
01:49:24,750 --> 01:49:26,870
People say my fate changed

856
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:30,410
after escaping from Lord Yu's banquet.

857
01:49:32,330 --> 01:49:33,830
They're wrong.

858
01:49:35,660 --> 01:49:37,240
The truth is

859
01:49:38,620 --> 01:49:40,620
I never escaped from anything.

860
01:49:55,330 --> 01:49:57,040
But finally

861
01:50:00,410 --> 01:50:02,540
it is at an end.
