00:00:11What's going on?
00:00:12Your majesty, you're awake. You are in the cultivation hall. You just had a banquet with the regent.
00:00:17A banquet? I've time traveled and become emperor XM.
00:00:22My poor predecessor was murdered by the empress dowager and his brother the regent.
00:00:36He ended up dead with his entire family wiped out.
00:00:40This is calming tea from the empress dowager. She said it would help you sleep better.
00:00:45The empress dowager?
00:00:48She poisoned the late emperor and my beloved mother. Then, as the empress dowager, she made me a puppet emperor.
00:00:55That young and vicious foreign woman.
00:01:02Father! Mother!
00:01:06She and the regent rebelled and betrayed our country, leading to the destruction of our country.
00:01:14Something's wrong with this calming tea. She wouldn't care about me so much. Why am I in the cultivation hall?
00:01:19Why am I not in the palace of heavenly purity? Where's the empress?
00:01:22Move aside, I'm going back to the palace of heavenly purity.
00:01:26Your majesty, you can't go there right now.
00:01:28I'm the emperor. Why can't I go?
00:01:30The regent has already gone there to see the empress.
00:01:33What did you say?
00:01:33I-
00:01:37Wesley, what are you doing?
00:01:39What do you think I'm doing, you? The most beautiful woman in our country. Better surrender to me willingly.
00:01:48Ridiculous! I am the empress. If his majesty finds out, he-
00:01:53You're relying on that puppet emperor who can't even attend court.
00:01:58You should know very well. Even if he comes, he can't do anything to me. He's nothing but an ant
00:02:05in the hands of Isabella and me. Crushing him is just a matter of time.
00:02:13I'm not like that useless fool. Let me show you. My strength.
00:02:18No!
00:02:21Wesley, fuck you!
00:02:27Your majesty. Your majesty.
00:02:31Sebastian, didn't I order someone to send you back to the cultivation hall? If you know what's good for you,
00:02:36get back there. Don't ruin my mood.
00:02:37Wesley, insulting the empress is a capital offense. Now you dare to insult me! Aren't you afraid I'll wipe out
00:02:44your entire clan?
00:02:45Your majesty, please be careful with your words. If he remembers this after sobering up tomorrow and tells the empress
00:02:51dowager, it won't be good for you.
00:02:54Wipe out my clan, just you! A useless puppet who hasn't even sat on the throne. And you dare to
00:03:01show off in front of me. If I let you be emperor, you are the emperor.
00:03:05If I want to make you a eunuch, you'll be a eunuch right now. Get out of my way!
00:03:15Fuck!
00:03:18You dare hit me tomorrow at court, the empress dowager and I will strip you of everything!
00:03:23Having traveled through time, I'm still powerless and insignificant. Sooner or later, I'll die. Might as well take someone down
00:03:29with me and vent my anger.
00:03:30I won't be a puppet emperor and die with dignity without shame to my ancestors. Tomorrow is another matter. Right
00:03:37now, I'm still the emperor. You won't live to see tomorrow.
00:03:44My manhood!
00:03:47Enough! Your majesty, if you continue, the empress dowager will not let this go. She'll take your life for sure.
00:03:55Host reborn, dominance revealed. To activate the emperor system, you need to complete sign-in tasks to obtain rewards, ultimately
00:04:02achieving the imperial ambition of conquering the world.
00:04:06System, sign-in, reward. Help me achieve imperial dominance.
00:04:10Yes, host. Begin your path to supremacy.
00:04:13As expected, alcohol gives cowards courage. A little reasoning from me, he became as cowardly as before.
00:04:21Sebastian, I'll kill you! I'll report to the empress dowager tomorrow. I'll kill you!
00:04:26Good. Then my imperial dominance will start with you.
00:04:35Drag him away!
00:04:40It's over! It's all over, your majesty! That's the empress dowager's brother!
00:04:54It's fine. I will personally go to the golden palace tomorrow.
00:04:57What's the point of going there? Will the empress dowager believe your apology? Do you think she'll side with you?
00:05:03Apology. I'm going to condemn her. I'm going to pull her off my dragon throne. I'll make her understand who
00:05:10truly rules this palace.
00:05:13Reform the court and establish imperial authority. I will be the greatest emperor.
00:05:20The empress dowager has arrived.
00:05:23Welcome, your majesty.
00:05:29Rise!
00:05:30Thank you, your majesty.
00:05:32His majesty was drunk and misbehaved last night. He injured the regent. Today the regent will sit to oversee affairs.
00:05:38Such behavior from the emperor is utterly disgraceful. This makes it clear he is unfit to rule the country.
00:05:45He will only bring harm to the empire. Today, in court, I shall discuss with you all the matter of
00:05:51deposing the emperor.
00:05:56This throne should have changed hands long ago.
00:05:59The empress dowager speaks wisely. Since his majesty ascended to the throne, disasters have plagued the land endlessly.
00:06:06It seems he has angered the heavens. This must be divine punishment.
00:06:09In that case, why not crown the regent as emperor instead? The regent is virtuous and accomplished. He has the
00:06:16bearing of an emperor. He is the perfect fit.
00:06:19No. As ministers, openly discussing deposing the emperor is treason.
00:06:24General Stewart, your daughter married his majesty and became the empress. Are you afraid of losing power if the emperor
00:06:31is deposed, so you're opposing this?
00:06:33General Stewart, as a veteran of three reigns, you should care for the empire above all else. You must not
00:06:39put personal interests first.
00:06:42Sebastian, why must you lose the throne because of me? Now there's no chance of turning things around.
00:06:48You!
00:06:51I'm completely loyal. The sun and the moon can tell.
00:06:54General Stewart, the matter of deposing the emperor requires a vote from all the ministers. If you object alone, then
00:06:59we can only follow the empress dowager's orders. Does anyone else object?
00:07:09If no one objects, then...
00:07:11I object!
00:07:23Sebastian, who allowed you here? Didn't I tell you that you don't need to attend court?
00:07:28Mind your words. I am the emperor, the leader of all officials. Without me, this doesn't deserve to be called
00:07:34a court.
00:07:35Emperor, you won't be after today. The ministers have reached a consensus. You will be deposed today.
00:07:42Years ago, amidst chaos, the late emperor saved you and made an exception to appoint you as a noble consort.
00:07:48My mother also took great care of you and treated you like her own sister. That's how you gained a
00:07:53foothold in this palace.
00:07:55Unexpectedly, now you dare to usurp power and talk about deposing the emperor.
00:08:12I'm curious who gave you the guts to sit on my throne.
00:08:20Sebastian, you are too arrogant!
00:08:24I am the emperor who dares to disobey me is committing treason.
00:08:29Host, sign in successful. Immediately gain the cultivation of a Grandmaster of Martial Arts.
00:08:36The emperor barged into the Golden Palace, and you're still running your mouth. You hit the Empress Dowager.
00:08:41Truly outrageous, you have completely disgraced the royal family.
00:08:45It's over, I thought. His Majesty last night was just...
00:08:48I didn't expect him to actually confront the Empress Dowager in the Golden Palace.
00:08:53She will definitely not let him off the hook easily.
00:09:00You have no army and no power, yet you're still so arrogant. Looks like you're tired of living.
00:09:05Exactly! Provoking the Empress Dowager will not only cost you the throne, but also your life.
00:09:11Why don't you kowtow and kneel down, begging for the Empress Dowager's forgiveness?
00:09:14How dare you a eunuch ask me to kneel?
00:09:17I am the head of the eunuchs and the Empress Dowager's most trusted aide. My words are naturally the Empress
00:09:22Dowager's decree.
00:09:24Empress Dowager, I remember when the founding emperor established the nation.
00:09:29He laid down an ancestral instruction.
00:09:31Eunuchs and women of the harem can't participate in politics.
00:09:35Now, you sit on the dragon throne, and your eunuch wants to force me to kneel because of your support.
00:09:41This seems like a capital offense.
00:09:44What do you intend to do?
00:09:46Well, let the ministers decide whether what I just said is right or wrong.
00:09:51Right, what the Emperor said is indeed true.
00:09:54Your Majesty, I would like to offer you a piece of advice. You have no troops and no power.
00:09:59If no one recognizes you as the Emperor, I'm afraid you won't remain on the throne for long.
00:10:04It's over. Sebastian's sudden actions won't scare them. The Royal Family's authority is gone.
00:10:11This level of intimidation is just asking for trouble, and is now useless.
00:10:18Hey, did you hear that? All the ministers in the court who is on your side. If you know what's
00:10:22good for you, get down. Otherwise, with my level eight martial arts skills, once I make a move, I won't
00:10:28be able to control my strength.
00:10:32Level eight.
00:10:37Level eight.
00:10:39Level eight.
00:10:39Level eight.
00:10:43Level eight.
00:10:52Level eight.
00:10:54Level eight.
00:10:55Level eight.
00:10:59Level eight.
00:10:59Level eight.
00:11:00Level eight.
00:11:01Level eight.
00:11:02Level eight.
00:11:04Level eight.
00:11:05Level eight.
00:11:09Starting with this, eunuch who dares disrupt the Golden Palace, now who agrees and who opposes.
00:11:20Emperor, you actually killed eunuch Brandon.
00:11:23Eunuch Brandon was a level 8 martial arts master and the Empress Dowager's favorite.
00:11:28You actually dared to kill eunuch Brandon. You've got some nerve.
00:11:32He actually killed Brandon this.
00:11:34He must have taken advantage of eunuch Brandon's moment of carelessness.
00:11:38Otherwise, how could he have succeeded?
00:11:40Emperor, you struck when eunuch Brandon wasn't prepared and attacked him in court, killing him in the Golden Palace.
00:11:47This is simply the act of a tyrant.
00:11:49The Emperor killed people in a fit of rage, so ruthless and cruel.
00:11:53If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous.
00:11:56Even if it was a moment of desperation and he was pushed to the brink, he can't be kept.
00:12:00I have to find a way to deal with him.
00:12:02Emperor, do you even have any regard for the law?
00:12:04Well, if today's event gets out, people of the land will think that our country has a tyrant.
00:12:10The law!
00:12:11I am the law!
00:12:17From tomorrow onwards, only those I allow to speak can speak.
00:12:21And those I command to kneel must not raise their heads.
00:12:24I hope you all understand who the true master is.
00:12:28Court dismissed.
00:12:31This matter won't end here.
00:12:33Emperor, just you wait.
00:12:41The Emperor probably won't survive past tomorrow.
00:12:44Indeed.
00:12:45The Empress Dowager didn't expect him to appear in court today suddenly.
00:12:49Once she returns and makes her plans, no one will be able to protect the Emperor.
00:12:53Your Majesty, you angered the Empress Dowager and turned against her today.
00:12:59You will surely die tomorrow.
00:13:01So what if I've turned against her?
00:13:03I am no longer the puppet Emperor I once was.
00:13:08After all these years, I've been making preparations.
00:13:11I've gathered support from a few ministers, recruited troops for my father, and built up strength,
00:13:17hoping to take things slowly.
00:13:19But your rash actions have ruined everything.
00:13:22First task completed.
00:13:23The next task is activated.
00:13:25Task.
00:13:26Spend a night in the Empress Dowager's bedchamber.
00:13:28Reward.
00:13:29Command of 30,000 Imperial Guards in the Forbidden City.
00:13:35Don't worry, my Empress.
00:13:36I have a plan.
00:13:38Your Majesty, your power has been usurped.
00:13:42What plan could you possibly have?
00:13:44You should focus on your own safety first.
00:13:47There's no need to lie and comfort me.
00:13:49I guarantee, after tonight, I will give you a satisfactory answer.
00:13:55As long as I gain control of the Imperial Guards, I can completely turn the tides.
00:14:01You completed everything I assigned to you.
00:14:04Your Highness, everything is done.
00:14:06Good.
00:14:07Now our country is firmly under my control.
00:14:10As long as we get rid of that puppet Emperor tomorrow, the country will be mine.
00:14:15Won't removing the Emperor so abruptly affect our plans?
00:14:18Affect what?
00:14:19Who cares about that useless guy's life or death?
00:14:22The court is corrupt.
00:14:24Key ministers have been bought by me and the vassal king's armies are at my disposal.
00:14:29The aristocrats hold all the power.
00:14:31Scholars have no way to serve their country.
00:14:33Disasters strike endlessly and the people are full of resentment.
00:14:36And once that puppet Emperor dies, the country will descend into even greater chaos.
00:14:41By then, our West Desert's cavalry will march straight in, crush the central plains and replace it.
00:14:48As expected, those who are not of our kind have different intentions.
00:14:52Since everything is in place, I'll go back now and report to King of the West Desert.
00:15:05I haven't even had the chance to properly host you yet.
00:15:08Why leave in such a hurry?
00:15:11I haven't even had the chance to properly host you yet.
00:15:14Why leave in such a hurry?
00:15:16Emperor, why are you here?
00:15:17I originally came here to confront you about the plan to depose me.
00:15:21But unexpectedly, I caught you colluding with foreign enemies.
00:15:25That's an even greater crime.
00:15:28You came alone to accuse me. How ridiculous.
00:15:32So you won't confess what you just said. I heard it all.
00:15:36So what if you heard it, dead man? Don't spill secrets.
00:15:44Empress Dowager, are you trying to kill the Emperor?
00:15:48I was planning to do it tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come here tonight.
00:15:52You're courting death.
00:15:54With just a few spies, you think you can capture me?
00:15:58You're so naive the spies around me are all.
00:16:01Martial arts experts above level 7, Kyle.
00:16:03Is even a level 9 martial master.
00:16:05If it weren't for your sneak attack just now, killing you would be as easy as killing a dog.
00:16:10Martial masters. In my eyes, they're nothing but a bunch of small fry.
00:16:15They can't even touch a hair on my head.
00:16:17The fate of Eunuch Brandon will be theirs as well.
00:16:20Emperor, don't overestimate yourself in front of me.
00:16:23Eunuch Brandon was careless.
00:16:25That's why you had a chance.
00:16:27This time, you won't be so lucky.
00:16:29In that case, I don't mind.
00:16:30Killing a few more of your dogs to show you my true strength.
00:16:34Still talking big on the verge of death.
00:16:36Kyle, kill him.
00:16:37Yes!
00:16:38Foolish arrogance.
00:16:39Kill him!
00:16:39Kill him!
00:16:48Kill him!
00:16:52Kill him!
00:16:57Kill him!
00:16:59Kill him!
00:17:00Kill him!
00:17:02Kill him!
00:17:03Kill him!
00:17:04Kill him!
00:17:04Kill him!
00:17:06Kill him!
00:17:08Kill him!
00:17:09Kill him!
00:17:09Kill him!
00:17:09How is this possible?
00:17:15How is this possible?
00:17:16They are the top fighters of the West Desert, even if a million Imperial Guards couldn't stand against them.
00:17:22You actually...
00:17:22I have said, those who oppose me will face certain death, including you, Empress Dowager.
00:17:29You colluded with foreign enemies.
00:17:31Tomorrow, I'll punish you in court.
00:17:33You are doomed.
00:17:41Doomed, Sebastian.
00:17:42Do you really think that sitting on the throne means the court officials will obey you?
00:17:47Since you've overheard our plot, why don't you guess which vassal king's army is at my command?
00:17:53And which key ministers I have pried, Sebastian?
00:17:56You are nothing but a lamb to the slaughter at my mercy.
00:18:01The one at my mercy now is you, Isabella.
00:18:04You colluded with the enemy.
00:18:05I can execute you without trial.
00:18:07Even if I strip you of your power and make you my plaything, no one can save you, as for
00:18:12now.
00:18:15Empress Dowager, Undress.
00:18:20What did you say?
00:18:21I am the Empress Dowager.
00:18:22Even if I am not your biological mother, you can't.
00:18:25Undress.
00:18:27Sebastian, even if you get my body, so what?
00:18:30Everything is still under my control.
00:18:32If you have the guts, kill me and see how chaotic the country will become.
00:18:36Undress.
00:18:51Undress again.
00:18:52You!
00:19:05Undress again.
00:19:07You!
00:19:16Now.
00:19:18You!
00:19:20You!
00:19:23You!
00:19:24Move aside.
00:19:26What?
00:19:27I told you to move aside.
00:19:35I'm staying here tonight, Empress Dowager.
00:19:38Get out!
00:19:39Get out!
00:19:40This is my bedchamber.
00:19:42If you stay here.
00:19:42If you stay here, where am I?
00:19:43I'm going to go.
00:19:44Get out!
00:19:45This is the last time I'm saying it.
00:19:51Congratulations, host.
00:19:52You have checked into the Empress Dowager's bedchamber.
00:19:55Stay the night here, and tomorrow you will obtain command of the 30,000 Imperial Guards of the Forbidden City.
00:20:01Empress Dowager, since you're so confident, I'll let you see with your own eyes, tomorrow, how I will take you
00:20:07all down and make you kneel and beg for my mercy.
00:20:10I'll let you see with me.
00:20:11I'll let you see.
00:20:15I'll let you see.
00:20:17I'll let you see.
00:20:17I'll let you see.
00:20:18How dare you humiliate me like this?
00:20:20Just wait until tomorrow's court.
00:20:22I will kill you.
00:20:29Why hasn't the morning court started yet?
00:20:31Is there nothing to report?
00:20:33Emperor, the Empress Dowager hasn't arrived yet.
00:20:36I think we should wait a little longer.
00:20:38In case there's something important to decide, we still need to hear her opinion.
00:20:42Ridiculous!
00:20:43His Majesty is the ruler of the land.
00:20:45What can't he decide?
00:20:46If I decide to depose the Emperor, can he still issue decrees?
00:20:49We greet the Empress Dowager.
00:20:54Rise!
00:20:54Thank you, Empress Dowager.
00:20:56The matter of deposing the Emperor was settled yesterday.
00:20:59Why do you keep bringing it up?
00:21:01What is your true intention?
00:21:03Yes.
00:21:03His Majesty has returned to the throne.
00:21:05All officials have submitted to him.
00:21:07It's the will of the people.
00:21:10The will of the people?
00:21:11He assaulted people in the court yesterday.
00:21:13He's acting like a tyrant.
00:21:14The ministers were just intimidated and forced to comply.
00:21:16He has lost the people's support.
00:21:18Really?
00:21:19Lost the people's support, do you think?
00:21:21That the important ministers all support the Empress Dowager.
00:21:24Of course.
00:21:25Now, I have ordered the 30,000 Imperial Guards to surround the Forbidden City.
00:21:30And you have no troops and no power.
00:21:33Who would stand with you?
00:21:35What?
00:21:36Surrounding the city?
00:21:37Empress Dowager, are you staging a coup?
00:21:40So what if I am today I will depose this puppet Emperor?
00:21:44Fine.
00:21:45In that case, I want to see how many people in this court support her and how many are loyal
00:21:50to me.
00:21:51Your Majesty.
00:21:53Go.
00:21:53Those who support the Empress Dowager stand by her side.
00:21:59Hey, Emperor.
00:22:00Make sure you see this clearly.
00:22:02Who really has the final say in our country?
00:22:04Your Majesty.
00:22:06The Empress Dowager has controlled the court for a long time.
00:22:09She's also won people over with benefits.
00:22:11What's more, there are now 30,000 Imperial Guards surrounding the city.
00:22:15The situation leaves us no choice.
00:22:17If you go against her, you will undoubtedly lose.
00:22:19It doesn't matter.
00:22:22I want to see just how many people in this court are loyal to her.
00:22:26Your Majesty.
00:22:27You're being too impulsive.
00:22:29We are under the Empress Dowager's control.
00:22:31We should have taken things slowly.
00:22:33Now turning the tables is no different from throwing eggs at a rock.
00:22:37Your Majesty is too young.
00:22:39Acting on impulse, he fell right into the Empress Dowager's trap.
00:22:42Forget it.
00:22:43If the lips are gone, the teeth will feel the cold.
00:22:45If we're doomed, we'll go down together.
00:22:50The Empress is truly loyal.
00:22:56The Emperor is inexperienced and unlearned with no notable skills.
00:23:01But the Empress Dowager is remarkably intelligent.
00:23:04A role model for the country.
00:23:06The choice couldn't be clearer.
00:23:09That's right.
00:23:09Let the Empress Dowager continue to rule behind the curtain and guide the country.
00:23:14This is what the people want.
00:23:19The wise adapt to the times.
00:23:21You have made the right choice.
00:23:24See that, Emperor?
00:23:25What do you have to say now?
00:23:33So you've all chosen your sides.
00:23:35If you change your minds later, it'll be too late.
00:23:38A futile struggle.
00:23:40Even if you kneel and kowtow to me, no one will take your side.
00:23:44I'm just making a final confirmation, so no innocents will get hurt later.
00:23:50On the brink of death, you're still amusing me.
00:23:53Don't worry, Emperor.
00:23:54Aside from the two fools from the Sioux family and a few old relics of the previous dynasty,
00:23:59no one else stands with you.
00:24:01No one else will die needlessly.
00:24:15Four commanders of the Imperial Guards.
00:24:26Just in time!
00:24:27Inside and outside this hall are my people, Emperor.
00:24:31What do you have to fight me with?
00:24:34Congratulations, Your Majesty.
00:24:36From now on, you are the true ruler of the summer country.
00:24:39Congratulations, Your Majesty.
00:24:43As expected, all birds of a feather in cahoots with each other.
00:24:46Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is surrounding the palace with 30,000 Imperial Guards and the ministers are all on
00:24:53her side.
00:24:53Don't push it.
00:24:54Just hand over your power and yield to her.
00:24:58Your Majesty, where there's life, there's hope.
00:25:00Right now, saving your life is what matters.
00:25:03Seat!
00:25:05Your Majesty, where there's life, there's hope.
00:25:08Right now, saving your life is what matters.
00:25:11Seat!
00:25:11Emperor, you're always gonna be my puppet.
00:25:14Why don't you kneel and beg for mercy?
00:25:15As long as you beg her for mercy, she will surely consider the need for the Royal Bloodline to continue
00:25:21and won't harm you.
00:25:24I'd rather have them think carefully about how many kowtows they should give me so that I will spare their
00:25:30lives.
00:25:34Still bluffing?
00:25:35You want to learn your lesson the hard way?
00:25:37Today, I will drive you out of the Golden Palace and chop off your head and hang it outside the
00:25:42Vermillion Bird Gate.
00:25:43Let's see who else defies me.
00:25:47Commander, seize the Emperor for me!
00:25:56What are you waiting for? Do it!
00:26:01Since everyone has chosen their side, let's end this farce.
00:26:05Kill them!
00:26:06Yes, yes!
00:26:17Help...
00:26:18Help!
00:26:31You're a majesty, help!
00:26:33Help!
00:26:34Stop, everyone. Stop! Stop it!
00:26:36Stop!
00:26:38What happened? This is impossible!
00:26:40Imperial guards, how could they disobey the Empress Dowager?
00:26:44No wonder you were so confident.
00:26:47Your Majesty, I know my mistake. Please spare my life.
00:26:51All right, stop killing.
00:26:52Yes, thank you, Your Majesty.
00:26:55Take these people to the Meridian Gate.
00:26:58Sentence them for rebellion.
00:27:00At noon, behead them all as a warning to others.
00:27:03Yes, Your Majesty, please withdraw your order.
00:27:06How dare you! The hundred ministers in here are all pillars of our country.
00:27:10They hold the lifeline of the nation. How can you just kill them?
00:27:14Pillars of our country? They openly rebelled against me, staged a coup. Why can't I kill them?
00:27:20Rebellion? They just want to choose a wise ruler to govern our country. That's why they sided with me.
00:27:25But you are arbitrary and bloodthirsty, no different from a tyrant.
00:27:30Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is right.
00:27:33My colleagues and I are devoted to the country. We have never had selfish motives.
00:27:37I never thought it would lead to this.
00:27:42This is a complete travesty. Confusing right and wrong.
00:27:45You abuse your power, bend the law and embezzle. Don't think I don't know?
00:27:49You need evidence to make accusations.
00:27:51You can't just kill without proof.
00:27:54Who would dare to serve the court?
00:27:55Your Majesty, the courtiers present are all from noble families,
00:27:59closely related to scholars all over the land.
00:28:01If there is no solid evidence, and acting rashly,
00:28:05I'm afraid the scholars will be ashamed of the court.
00:28:07It will cause unrest in our country.
00:28:09Your Majesty, I have never taken bribes.
00:28:12Even the officials I promoted are all diligent and loyal to their duties, Your Majesty.
00:28:16If you insist on wrongly executing these important ministers,
00:28:20Summer Country will have no one to use in the future.
00:28:23It will also trigger rebellions everywhere.
00:28:25Hmm, good. They are threatening me, saying I'll have no one to use.
00:28:29Did you hear that these people, even if you are the Emperor, you can't kill them?
00:28:35To see, don't listen to their confusing words.
00:28:37Winnie, do you want the whole world to say that the Emperor is a tyrant?
00:28:42Tomorrow, the Decennial Conference of Scholars will be held in the capital.
00:28:47All the talents in the world will be there to discuss strategies for governing the nation.
00:28:51There are many capable people.
00:28:54If you attend in person and show respect to the scholars,
00:28:57you will surely recruit many talents to replace these parasites of the nation.
00:29:03Mission, go to the Conference of Scholars.
00:29:05Ascend the Grand Platform.
00:29:07Reward, the best intelligence agency in the world.
00:29:10The Six Gate Department.
00:29:13So what if the Emperor goes?
00:29:15What scholars hate the most are tyrannical and overbearing emperors.
00:29:19If he dares to kill court officials, naturally no one will obey him.
00:29:23Plus, he doesn't know anything about governing the country, I'm afraid.
00:29:26He will only make a fool of himself at the Conference of Scholars.
00:29:30You.
00:29:30I don't know anything about governing mine.
00:29:33Tomorrow, I will show you how I will persuade those talents
00:29:36and make them submit willingly to serve the country.
00:29:40Your Majesty, the Conference of Scholars is not like a banquet
00:29:43where you can talk nonsense when you're drunk.
00:29:46Yes, Your Majesty.
00:29:47If you don't have real talent, you will only humiliate yourself.
00:29:51Emperor, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
00:29:55You want to debate with all the scholars.
00:29:57What if I succeed?
00:29:59Then what will you do?
00:29:59Your Majesty, this is not the time to be impulsive.
00:30:03If you can truly convince them, I will no longer interfere in state affairs.
00:30:06But if you can't, you will abdicate immediately.
00:30:09How about that?
00:30:11Fine, it's a deal.
00:30:14Oh, Your Majesty.
00:30:15Empress, an Emperor's words are his bond.
00:30:18He can't go back on them easily.
00:30:20Your Majesty, you're too impulsive, can't you see?
00:30:23The Empress Dowager's goading.
00:30:24I'm playing along.
00:30:25As long as I can convince everyone at the Conference of Scholars,
00:30:28I'll not only recruit talents, but also dismiss those corrupt officials.
00:30:31Plus, with the Empress Dowager no longer interfering in politics,
00:30:35it's killing three birds with one stone.
00:30:37Winnie, weren't you just advising me to attend the Conference of Scholars?
00:30:40Your Majesty, I was just suggesting you be courteous and humble to recruit talent.
00:30:45Not to make a fool of yourself.
00:30:47I know how much knowledge you possess.
00:30:50I am the Emperor.
00:30:51Do I need to beg for talent myself?
00:30:54All right, my mind is made up.
00:30:56Let's drop the matter for today.
00:30:58But tomorrow, I want all officials present as witnesses to my wager with the Empress Dowager.
00:31:03Yes, Your Majesty.
00:31:05Hmph, overconfident fool.
00:31:07I'll see tomorrow how you embarrass yourself at the Conference of Scholars.
00:31:11Imperial Guards, withdraw, court dismissed.
00:31:13Yes.
00:31:14Yes.
00:31:27Your Majesty.
00:31:28The things I asked you to arrange for tomorrow's Conference of Scholars, are they all in place?
00:31:33Rest assured, Your Majesty.
00:31:35Tomorrow, I will make sure the scholars leave the Emperor speechless.
00:31:38As long as the Emperor is humiliated in front of everyone,
00:31:42he will lose the people's support and solidify his reputation for being bloodthirsty and immoral.
00:31:46Exactly.
00:31:47Although the Emperor holds military power, he is all brawn and no brains.
00:31:51In the eyes of the world, he is a tyrant.
00:31:54Good.
00:31:55This time, in front of everyone, I will pull that Emperor down from his throne.
00:32:02Move, move.
00:32:06Why are there so many people here?
00:32:07Even the court ministers are here.
00:32:09Don't you know, the Emperor said he would.
00:32:11Debate the scholars today and discuss strategies for governing the country.
00:32:14What?
00:32:15That puppet Emperor is coming too?
00:32:17I heard he has never attended the morning court.
00:32:19Does he even know how to govern?
00:32:21Exactly.
00:32:21So today, from the nobles and officials to the common people,
00:32:25everyone is crowding here, wanting to join the fun.
00:32:28I think they're here to enjoy the joke.
00:32:35Hey, look at the grand platform.
00:32:37That's Master Zane.
00:32:40It really is Master Zane.
00:32:42He is extremely talented.
00:32:43A great scholar with profound knowledge.
00:32:52To have Master Zane lecture today is truly an honor for our academy and a blessing for our country.
00:32:59After all, this academy's grand platform is like a holy altar in the hearts of scholars all over the world.
00:33:05Only those with profound knowledge can lecture on this stage.
00:33:10I must also thank you all for giving me the opportunity to debate politics with the Emperor.
00:33:15The Emperor is ignorant and incompetent with your talent.
00:33:19Today, you will surely leave him speechless.
00:33:21It seems that after today, Master Zane and all the great scholars will be famous all over the world,
00:33:27and their reputations will reach the heavens.
00:33:33Emperor and the Empress Dowager have arrived!
00:33:52See, with Master Zane's knowledge and status, even the Empress Dowager has to show him respect.
00:33:57Exactly! Hey, look at the Emperor!
00:33:59Why don't you bow to Master Zane?
00:34:01Are you disrespecting the scholars of the world?
00:34:15Confucianism values propriety.
00:34:17As great scholars, don't you understand?
00:34:20Besides me, no one deserves to stand on this grand platform.
00:34:28Sign in successful. You've got the Sixth Gate Department.
00:34:31You'll know everything in an instant.
00:34:33I didn't expect this Emperor to be so arrogant and rude, vulgar and unbearable.
00:34:37He's going to debate about governing. I think he's just an unreasonable tyrant.
00:34:44Emperor, Master Zane is a great scholar, revered by scholars all over the world.
00:34:48He is highly learned and knowledgeable, known as the Teacher of the World.
00:34:52How dare you be so rude? Get off the grand platform now!
00:34:55Teacher of the World?
00:34:56How do you know that his knowledge is more profound than mine?
00:35:01The books say the capable are the teachers.
00:35:03With my talent, I am qualified to stand on this grand platform and be admired by all.
00:35:09Absurd! I have been studying for decades.
00:35:11And you are so young, you actually want to surpass me in knowledge.
00:35:16Yes, I came to this academy today to debate the way of governing the country.
00:35:22All right. Since you're so confident, shall we begin immediately?
00:35:26Hey, wait. Let me issue an oral edict.
00:35:31Your Majesty.
00:35:41It's the people on this list.
00:35:43Go.
00:35:43Yes.
00:35:46What? Is the Emperor Scared going to invite other experts?
00:35:51After all, Emperor is inexperienced on your own. How can you debate Master Zane?
00:35:57You were just talking so big. Now you have to go get help.
00:36:00Emperor, don't forget yesterday's bet.
00:36:03If you don't debate yourself, you lose.
00:36:06With my talent, why would I need others' help?
00:36:09If that's the case, why have you achieved nothing since ascending the throne?
00:36:13It was the Empress Dowager who held all the power.
00:36:16How can you say I have achieved nothing?
00:36:18The Empress Dowager cares about the world.
00:36:20It is only right for her to rule from behind the curtain.
00:36:23Otherwise, who would govern the world?
00:36:25Of course, me.
00:36:27The Xiongnu invaded the northern border and plundered the people.
00:36:31The southern barbarian tribes are powerful and frequently reveled, and floods ravage
00:36:36Xiongnat, flooding thousands of miles.
00:36:39The western region's desert is severe.
00:36:41Sandstorms rage.
00:36:43The imperial army lacks funds.
00:36:45The treasury is empty.
00:36:46Furthermore, the various vassal kings of the central plains control their own armies and
00:36:51disobey the court's orders.
00:36:53Our country is facing internal and external trouble, and the people are unstable.
00:36:59That's right.
00:37:02In summary, can you tell everyone how the world should be governed?
00:37:12A lengthy speech.
00:37:14He came prepared.
00:37:15These difficult problems, even I have no clue.
00:37:18He's just a puppet emperor.
00:37:19How could he have solutions?
00:37:21Well, the summer country has long been plagued by problems.
00:37:24Everything is interconnected.
00:37:26Crash actions will only shape the foundation of the nation.
00:37:29Anyone can ask questions, Master Zane, since you know our country's problems.
00:37:35Do you have any solutions?
00:37:37Yes.
00:37:40What about the other ministers?
00:37:48I am questioning you, and you're asking others.
00:37:51It seems you cannot answer.
00:37:53Not to mention this puppet emperor.
00:37:55Even the great scholars probably can't come up with solutions.
00:37:57Yes.
00:37:59If someone had solutions, why would our country's national strength have declined to this point?
00:38:03Exactly.
00:38:05Understand, emperor.
00:38:07This summer country is not something you can govern.
00:38:10Emperor, if you can't explain how to govern the country, you should, according to the wager,
00:38:15abdicate and hand over the throne.
00:38:16Before that, you should come down from the platform.
00:38:20You are not qualified to stand there.
00:38:23All the officials and scholars are at their wit's end, let alone the emperor.
00:38:27It seems today, he will really be deposed.
00:38:34Emperor Stowager, please issue a decree to depose the emperor.
00:38:41Silence.
00:38:45When did I ever say I didn't have the means to govern the country?
00:38:49You have solutions.
00:38:52He just asked everyone, how could he have solutions?
00:38:55I just wanted to see if you are all truly a bunch of incompetents.
00:39:02As expected.
00:39:03You!
00:39:04Matters of our country.
00:39:06To fight external threats, we must first pacify the internal.
00:39:09Internally, for the flooding in Jiangnan, we need to build water, conservancy projects,
00:39:15and open the granaries for the desertification in the western regions,
00:39:18convert pastures back to grasslands, cultivate fertile fields and nurture seedlings.
00:39:23For the urgent military needs, dispatch troops for farming, self-sufficiency.
00:39:27This can appease the people.
00:39:30Externally, we can send emissaries to the northern border to negotiate with the Xiongnu.
00:39:35Mutual trade for profit, each taking what they need.
00:39:38Send scholars to the southern barbarian tribes to teach.
00:39:42Educate people and teach them literacy.
00:39:44Civilize their customs.
00:39:46At the same time, two armies will exert pressure and intimidate.
00:39:50A combination of soft and hard tactics after summer country has recuperated,
00:39:54then conquer them in one fell swoop.
00:39:57Good.
00:39:58Well-reasoned and grounded.
00:39:59I didn't expect your majesty to be so far-sighted.
00:40:02I underestimated him in the past.
00:40:07As for the various vassal kings, we can issue the Imperial Grace Edict,
00:40:12allowing the sons of vassal kings to inherit their land, army, and property.
00:40:18This way, they will fight amongst themselves and gradually weaken.
00:40:23I will make this the foundation of national policy.
00:40:26Does anyone have any objections?
00:40:36Master Zane, my answers.
00:40:38Do you have any rebuttal?
00:40:40I have nothing to say.
00:40:44By ruling this way, our country's revival is just around the corner.
00:40:47Your majesty is wise.
00:40:49Your majesty is wise.
00:40:51Your majesty is wise.
00:40:52Your majesty is wise.
00:40:53Your majesty is wise.
00:40:56Your majesty is wise.
00:40:58You!
00:41:04So, building water conservancy projects,
00:41:07opening the granaries to relieve the famine,
00:41:10dispatching troops,
00:41:11which of these doesn't require money and food,
00:41:13now the national treasury is empty.
00:41:15As the minister of revenue, I know this best.
00:41:17Summer country, now.
00:41:19Where does all this money and food come from?
00:41:21If there were money,
00:41:22why would I be unable to offer any advice
00:41:24to share the country's worries?
00:41:26Indeed?
00:41:26Emperor, we have no money.
00:41:28Everything is just empty talk.
00:41:31Being so impractical and talking big
00:41:32doesn't count as real talent.
00:41:36The ministers have a point.
00:41:38Summer country is weak now.
00:41:39Where's the money and food
00:41:40to implement the emperor's measures?
00:41:42Yeah, no money, no food.
00:41:43That's summer country's most pressing problem.
00:41:45If it's not solved,
00:41:46any national policy is nonsense.
00:41:49A few boastful words almost fooled everyone.
00:41:53Isn't it just a lack of money and food?
00:41:55Confiscate property.
00:41:57Wouldn't that solve it?
00:41:59Confiscate property.
00:42:03Confiscate property this.
00:42:11Confiscate property.
00:42:12Such a stupid method.
00:42:14You actually thought of this?
00:42:15You, a puppet emperor,
00:42:17living in the palace,
00:42:18completely ignorant of the world.
00:42:20On what grounds?
00:42:21With what means?
00:42:22Your majesty,
00:42:23do you really want to act so recklessly
00:42:25in front of all the scholars and officials?
00:42:28Recklessly?
00:42:29I am confiscating property today
00:42:31and I'll make sure
00:42:32you understand everything clearly.
00:42:38Your majesty,
00:42:39we have investigated everything clearly.
00:42:43They are!
00:42:45My spies,
00:42:46the best intelligence agency in the world,
00:42:49the Sixth Gate Department.
00:42:50The Sixth Gate Department?
00:42:52I've never heard of it.
00:42:54Emperor,
00:42:55stop pretending to be mysterious.
00:42:57What's the use of an intelligence agency?
00:43:00All these governing strategies you talk about,
00:43:02aren't they just empty talk?
00:43:04Where's your money?
00:43:05Where's the food?
00:43:06Your previous extravagance and indulgence
00:43:09is the reason why the treasury is so empty, right?
00:43:12Nonsense!
00:43:13It's clearly you officials
00:43:15who are corrupt accepting bribes
00:43:17that emptied the summer country's treasury.
00:43:19Empress,
00:43:20you need evidence to make such accusations.
00:43:22Your majesty was like this before,
00:43:24talking nonsense,
00:43:25and it all came to nothing.
00:43:27Yeah,
00:43:27give a dog a bad name and hang him,
00:43:29and he can easily be disposed of.
00:43:31This way,
00:43:31everyone is anxious.
00:43:32Who would dare to be an official?
00:43:35Sebastian,
00:43:35even if your governing strategies
00:43:37are recognized by all the scholars,
00:43:39what's the use?
00:43:40All the officials present are my people,
00:43:42without my order,
00:43:43and you have no money or food.
00:43:45Who would be willing to work for you?
00:43:50You want evidence?
00:43:52I'll read it to you.
00:43:55Minister of Revenue,
00:43:57Edward.
00:43:58Since taking office,
00:43:59he has seized 3,000 houses from the people,
00:44:02and embezzled 100,000 acres of fertile land.
00:44:05He also opened brothels,
00:44:07gambling dens,
00:44:08and underground banks.
00:44:09Those are illegal businesses.
00:44:10He embezzled disaster relief funds multiple times,
00:44:14and secretly accepted bribes of about 600,000 tails.
00:44:18The officials involved include the governor of River State,
00:44:21the governor of Cloud State,
00:44:22and others,
00:44:23many high-ranking officials.
00:44:24We found silver hidden in the walls of his home.
00:44:28A total of 8,553,312 tails.
00:44:34Your Majesty, spare me!
00:44:35Your Majesty, spare me!
00:44:37If possible...
00:44:39Your Majesty, you cannot frame court officials.
00:44:41Frame?
00:44:42These are the transcripts of evidence
00:44:45I ordered the Sixth Gate Department to investigate,
00:44:48including witness testimonies,
00:44:50confiscated land deeds,
00:44:51and the ownership documents of brothels and gambling houses.
00:44:58It's actually true this corruption evidence
00:45:01is detailed down to the time and place.
00:45:04Such corrupt officials!
00:45:05You are truly the parasites of our country!
00:45:11Empress Dowager, save me!
00:45:13Empress Dowager!
00:45:14This isn't over yet.
00:45:19Prime Minister Joseph
00:45:21seized 1,000 houses from the people,
00:45:24embezzled 200,000 acres of fertile land,
00:45:27colluded with wealthy families
00:45:29in the imperial examinations,
00:45:31accepted bribes and cheated,
00:45:33a total of 7,137,720 tails of silver
00:45:37were found in his home.
00:45:40Minister of Works, Dan,
00:45:42seized 80,000 acres of fertile land,
00:45:45cut corners in the construction
00:45:46of the Golden River Dam,
00:45:48and the Jiangnan Water Conservancy Project
00:45:50abused his power for personal gain,
00:45:52a total of 4,221,100 tails of silver
00:45:56were found in his home.
00:46:00And you,
00:46:01the sanctimonious Master Zane,
00:46:04a teacher of the world,
00:46:06what a joke,
00:46:07Master Zane,
00:46:08under the guise of running a school,
00:46:11colluded with local powerful figures,
00:46:13seized houses and fertile land,
00:46:15and kidnapped more than 80 women.
00:46:19You were even involved in Minister of Revenue,
00:46:22Edward's brothels and gambling dens
00:46:23and underground banks.
00:46:25You were involved.
00:46:27A total of 6,000,000 tails of silver
00:46:29were found in your home.
00:46:31Including this conference of scholars,
00:46:33you also accepted tales from Joseph and Edward
00:46:35to deliberately make things difficult for me.
00:46:38Did you think I wouldn't find out?
00:46:39Your Majesty, spare me.
00:46:41Your Majesty, spare me.
00:46:42Your Majesty, spare me.
00:46:43Your Majesty, spare me.
00:46:45I didn't expect that Master Zane
00:46:46would be in cahoots with corrupt officials.
00:46:48Birds of a feather.
00:46:49Such behavior,
00:46:50a disgrace to the teaching profession.
00:46:52A disgrace to the teaching profession.
00:46:54Your Majesty, Your Majesty,
00:46:55I know my mistake.
00:46:57Someone,
00:46:58take everyone listed in these charges
00:46:59according to the law.
00:47:01Take them out.
00:47:01Confiscate all their property.
00:47:03And transfer all assets
00:47:04to the National Treasury.
00:47:06Yes, Your Majesty.
00:47:07Emperor, you.
00:47:07Emperor Stowager,
00:47:09now I have the money and food
00:47:10for governing the country.
00:47:12Emperor,
00:47:13now the money and food are enough.
00:47:15As agreed,
00:47:16you can no longer interfere
00:47:17in state affairs.
00:47:21Someone,
00:47:22take them all away.
00:47:23Yes.
00:47:26Your Majesty,
00:47:27please spare me.
00:47:29Please spare my life.
00:47:30Your Majesty,
00:47:31Your Majesty.
00:47:32Today,
00:47:33I have debated and won
00:47:35on the principles of governing the nation.
00:47:37I investigated and prosecuted.
00:47:39Corrupt officials
00:47:40confiscated their properties.
00:47:42I did all this
00:47:42to revive our country
00:47:44and build a peaceful
00:47:45and prosperous world.
00:47:46The Grand Platform
00:47:47is a place
00:47:47where the capable
00:47:48become teachers
00:47:49and the official positions
00:47:50in the court
00:47:51are also for the capable.
00:47:53The positions vacated
00:47:54by the parasites
00:47:55of the nation
00:47:56whom I have punished
00:47:57will be filled
00:47:58by selecting individuals
00:47:59from the Academy.
00:48:02All those who pass
00:48:04the assessment
00:48:04will be appointed.
00:48:06Long live your Majesty.
00:48:07Long live your Majesty.
00:48:09Long live the Emperor.
00:48:13Congratulations, host.
00:48:14You have completed
00:48:15the special mission
00:48:16of dismissing all officials.
00:48:18The next check-in mission
00:48:19has been activated.
00:48:21Mission,
00:48:22go to Thai Mountain
00:48:23to hold the mountain ceremony.
00:48:25Reward,
00:48:26obtain the Emperor's Dragon Aura.
00:48:29Congratulations,
00:48:30Your Majesty.
00:48:31Don't celebrate yet.
00:48:32I still have
00:48:33one more thing to do.
00:48:34What is it?
00:48:36Our country is currently
00:48:37facing internal
00:48:38and external troubles.
00:48:40National strength
00:48:40is exhausted
00:48:41and the people's hearts
00:48:42are wavering.
00:48:43Fortunately,
00:48:44I have inherited
00:48:44the will of the late Emperor,
00:48:47eliminated treacherous eunuchs
00:48:48and corrupt officials,
00:48:50cleansed the court
00:48:51and appointed virtuous
00:48:52and capable individuals.
00:48:53I am determined
00:48:54to follow the example
00:48:55of the Sages.
00:48:56I'll choose
00:48:57an auspicious time
00:48:58to hold
00:48:58the mountain ceremony.
00:49:00Let heaven and earth
00:49:01bear witness
00:49:01and let the ghosts
00:49:02and gods listen
00:49:03to my merits
00:49:04and virtues
00:49:05and take the opportunity
00:49:06to express
00:49:07my determination
00:49:07to revitalize the country.
00:49:09What, Your Majesty,
00:49:10wants to hold
00:49:11the mountain ceremony?
00:49:13What, Your Majesty,
00:49:14wants to hold
00:49:14the mountain ceremony?
00:49:16I didn't hear wrong,
00:49:17did I?
00:49:17You want to hold
00:49:18the ceremony for yourself?
00:49:19Why not?
00:49:21This is absurd.
00:49:22The mountain ceremony
00:49:23has always been
00:49:24for wise rulers
00:49:25who created
00:49:25a peaceful
00:49:26and prosperous world.
00:49:27They all have
00:49:28high merits
00:49:28and great virtues
00:49:29and have made
00:49:30great achievements,
00:49:31but you have
00:49:31achieved nothing
00:49:32and yet you are
00:49:33so conceited
00:49:34thinking that you
00:49:34can hold
00:49:35the mountain ceremony.
00:49:36Your Majesty
00:49:37has now eliminated
00:49:38part of the Empress Dowager's
00:49:39forces and regained power.
00:49:41You are no longer
00:49:42a puppet emperor,
00:49:43but holding the mountain
00:49:44ceremony now
00:49:45is really too hasty.
00:49:46I'm afraid it will become
00:49:47a laughingstock
00:49:48of the world.
00:49:49Your Majesty
00:49:49has made no contribution.
00:49:50If there is
00:49:51no auspicious sign
00:49:52during the ceremony,
00:49:53I'm afraid the people
00:49:54will be unstable
00:49:55and the country
00:49:56will be in turmoil.
00:49:57The mountain ceremony
00:49:58also requires
00:49:58summoning envoys
00:49:59from other countries.
00:50:00If you cannot prove
00:50:01that you are a wise ruler
00:50:02and make a fool of yourself,
00:50:03it would be tantamount
00:50:05to ruining the fortune
00:50:06of our country
00:50:07and destroying
00:50:07your own future.
00:50:08In this way,
00:50:09domestically,
00:50:10various vassal kings
00:50:11will have ill intentions.
00:50:12Neighboring countries
00:50:13will also send their armies
00:50:15to jointly plot
00:50:15and discuss how
00:50:16to carve up our country.
00:50:18Your Majesty,
00:50:18please think twice.
00:50:20Your Majesty,
00:50:20please think twice.
00:50:23Your Majesty,
00:50:25how do you think
00:50:25I am not worthy
00:50:26of being a great emperor,
00:50:27a wise ruler?
00:50:31It was just
00:50:32a small victory.
00:50:33I didn't expect him
00:50:34to get carried away
00:50:35so quickly
00:50:36and want to hold
00:50:37the mountain ceremony.
00:50:38Good.
00:50:39He's walking into a trap.
00:50:41I will follow your wishes
00:50:42and make this a big deal.
00:50:44Let's see how you deal with it.
00:50:46All right?
00:50:47Since the emperor
00:50:48wants to hold
00:50:49the mountain ceremony,
00:50:50I will announce it
00:50:51to the world
00:50:51and attract all nations
00:50:53to come.
00:50:53On the day of departure,
00:50:55I will also prepare
00:50:56chariots and horsemen
00:50:57and spread the news
00:50:58all the way
00:50:59until you reach
00:51:00Time Mountain.
00:51:01Let the whole world
00:51:02witness the grand occasion.
00:51:04Isabella?
00:51:06Isabella?
00:51:07You're stirring things up.
00:51:08What are your intentions?
00:51:09How dare you, Winnie?
00:51:11It's not your place
00:51:12to speak to me like this.
00:51:13Winnie,
00:51:14the ceremony was proposed
00:51:15by His Majesty himself.
00:51:17Everyone heard it.
00:51:18If he goes back
00:51:19on his word now,
00:51:20wouldn't that make everyone
00:51:20think he is guilty
00:51:22and admitting
00:51:22he's an incompetent ruler?
00:51:24Nonsense!
00:51:25You are the ones
00:51:26instigating this,
00:51:27putting His Majesty
00:51:27in a difficult position.
00:51:29Winnie,
00:51:29you really don't
00:51:30appreciate kindness.
00:51:31Are you saying
00:51:32you think the emperor
00:51:33is unworthy
00:51:33of participating
00:51:34in the ceremony?
00:51:35That's ridiculous.
00:51:36I just think
00:51:37the time is not right.
00:51:38Enough!
00:51:39My mind is made up.
00:51:40Tomorrow,
00:51:40we will depart
00:51:41for Time Mountain
00:51:42to hold the mountain
00:51:43and ceremony.
00:51:50Your Majesty.
00:51:54Your Majesty,
00:51:55do you really want
00:51:55to let the emperor
00:51:56go to the Time Mountain?
00:51:59What?
00:52:00Do you think
00:52:00there will be
00:52:01a divine omen
00:52:02to help him succeed?
00:52:03Of course not.
00:52:04He'll only make
00:52:05a laughingstock of himself
00:52:06in front of the world.
00:52:07In that case,
00:52:08we must promote it for him.
00:52:10Get the word out,
00:52:11attract the attention
00:52:12of all the clans
00:52:13and vassal kings
00:52:14and even other countries.
00:52:15Once,
00:52:16the news of the failed
00:52:17ceremony spreads.
00:52:19It will prove
00:52:19that Sebastian
00:52:20is not qualified
00:52:21to sit on the throne.
00:52:23Then the people
00:52:23will lose faith
00:52:24and all the factions
00:52:25will become disunited.
00:52:27Anyone will want
00:52:28to fight
00:52:29for the throne
00:52:30of the emperor.
00:52:31This way,
00:52:32the world will be
00:52:33in chaos.
00:52:33We don't even
00:52:34have to do anything.
00:52:35The entire country
00:52:36will fall apart.
00:52:37Then,
00:52:38I will contact
00:52:39the king of the West Desert
00:52:40and invade
00:52:41the Central Plains.
00:52:43Go and spread the news.
00:52:44Make sure everyone
00:52:45knows that the emperor
00:52:46will hold
00:52:46the mountain ceremony.
00:52:48Okay.
00:52:48Wait.
00:52:49Send a message to Cain.
00:52:51Tell him to get ready.
00:52:53Understood.
00:52:53I'll inform him.
00:52:54He has a strong army now.
00:52:56With 300,000 troops,
00:52:57he is the most powerful
00:52:59among the vassal kings.
00:53:00It's foolproof.
00:53:04What did you say?
00:53:05The emperor of summer country
00:53:07is holding
00:53:07the mountain ceremony.
00:53:08he wants to summon
00:53:10envoys attending
00:53:11the ceremony.
00:53:12The summer country
00:53:13was once the ruler
00:53:14of all nations,
00:53:16protected by the true
00:53:17dragon's fortune.
00:53:18But more than
00:53:19a decade ago,
00:53:20we,
00:53:21Xiongnu,
00:53:22the southern barbarian,
00:53:23and the West Desert
00:53:25jointly attacked it.
00:53:26It was on its last breath.
00:53:28Now,
00:53:29our strength
00:53:29has just recovered.
00:53:31But the Central Plains
00:53:32is still in ruins.
00:53:33He's making such a big fuss.
00:53:35It's no different
00:53:36from courting death.
00:53:37So,
00:53:37should we still send someone
00:53:38to attend
00:53:38his mountain ceremony?
00:53:40Of course.
00:53:40Send the princess over now.
00:53:42If the emperor's
00:53:43mountain ceremony fails,
00:53:44have the princess
00:53:45send a message
00:53:46back from afar.
00:53:47I will leave
00:53:48100,000 cavalry
00:53:49to break through
00:53:50the Central Plains.
00:53:51Understood.
00:53:58That wet behind the ears
00:53:59little emperor
00:54:00of the Central Plains
00:54:00actually dares to hold
00:54:02the mountain ceremony.
00:54:03Yes,
00:54:03your majesty.
00:54:04I heard that the ceremony
00:54:05is quite a big deal.
00:54:08Incompetent emperor
00:54:09only knows how
00:54:10to put on airs here.
00:54:11Send out the order.
00:54:12Send envoys to attend.
00:54:14If the mountain ceremony
00:54:15fails,
00:54:15quickly return
00:54:16and inform me.
00:54:17Then we'll conquer
00:54:18the southern cities
00:54:19and we can enjoy
00:54:20the success together.
00:54:21Yes,
00:54:22your majesty.
00:54:22Let's go.
00:54:31I didn't expect
00:54:32the emperor
00:54:33to be so arrogant.
00:54:34It seems that
00:54:35it won't be long
00:54:35before he loses power
00:54:36and three of us
00:54:38can replace him.
00:54:39What,
00:54:39your highness?
00:54:40Are we going to
00:54:40make our move?
00:54:41That's right.
00:54:41The world is about
00:54:42to be in chaos.
00:54:43All because of that
00:54:44puppet emperor's cleverness.
00:54:46He's become conceited
00:54:47because he thinks
00:54:48he has grasped
00:54:49a little power.
00:54:50Truly ridiculous.
00:54:55The mountain ceremony.
00:54:57I think it's
00:54:57the emperor's
00:54:58abdication ceremony.
00:55:01I just arrived
00:55:02at the northern border
00:55:02and his majesty
00:55:03is going to hold
00:55:04the mountain ceremony
00:55:05preposterous.
00:55:07Utterly preposterous
00:55:08didn't the emperor
00:55:09stop him?
00:55:10The majesty
00:55:10tried to dissuade him
00:55:11but he insisted
00:55:12he's probably already
00:55:13on his way
00:55:13to tie mountain
00:55:14with great fanfare.
00:55:16One hundred thousand
00:55:16Xiongnu soldiers
00:55:17are stationed at the border.
00:55:19If the mountain ceremony
00:55:20fails,
00:55:20they will surely
00:55:21take the opportunity
00:55:22to invade.
00:55:23By then,
00:55:23our country will be
00:55:24engulfed in war
00:55:25and countless lives
00:55:27will be lost.
00:55:55And we'll see you next time.
00:55:56We'll see you next time.
00:56:01At today's ceremony, almost all foreign envoys are present.
00:56:05I'm afraid they're all here to watch a joke.
00:56:08Indeed, His Majesty ignores the covetous eyes of neighboring countries.
00:56:12He's so eager for quick success and actually holding the mountain ceremony.
00:56:16I'm afraid today he will not only lose face for the royal family,
00:56:20but also the fate of the country will be doomed.
00:56:23Today, I personally ascend Thai Mountain, overlooking the land,
00:56:27to express my grand ambitions.
00:56:30I swear I will expand our territory, conquer the barbarians,
00:56:34and establish the eternal foundation of our country.
00:56:56Truly shameless, in the past, the mountain ceremony was only held
00:57:00after the emergence of a heavenly Khan.
00:57:03I can't believe that now.
00:57:04A wet behind the ears Emperor dares to hold the mountain ceremony at will.
00:57:08That's right.
00:57:09The weather today is clear and sunny.
00:57:11When the Emperor ascends the altar later,
00:57:14how could there be any auspicious signs?
00:57:16Doesn't that mean that the Emperor is not blessed by the heavens
00:57:19and needs to be replaced?
00:57:45Sebastian, what are you doing?
00:57:46How dare you attack the envoys?
00:57:48Barbarians have no manners.
00:57:50I am personally offering sacrifices to the gods,
00:57:52and they are down there being so noisy.
00:57:55In honor of the mountain ceremony, I spared their lives.
00:57:58This is already a display of imperial grace.
00:58:00You!
00:58:01Sebastian, things are different now.
00:58:03We, along with the surrounding countries, have all risen to power.
00:58:07Our armies are strong.
00:58:09When speaking to us, you should learn to be more polite.
00:58:12Exactly.
00:58:14We came to this mountain ceremony today not to give you respect,
00:58:17but to see what kind of jokes you will make next.
00:58:21You barbarians!
00:58:22How dare you threaten His Majesty!
00:58:23Do you want to die?
00:58:25Empress, I heard your father is the general, supervising the war at the front lines.
00:58:30What a coincidence.
00:58:31My father is leading a hundred thousand personal troops and is getting ready to meet him.
00:58:36Don't you dare!
00:58:37Report!
00:58:40Your Majesty, bad news!
00:58:42The southern barbarian tribes are rioting and clashing with local officials.
00:58:46The northern Xiongnu are repeatedly attacking the border, vowing to start a war.
00:58:51Also, the regional lords are preparing their troops and horses, I'm afraid.
00:58:55They are about to rebel.
00:59:04What?
00:59:05Emergencies everywhere?
00:59:07How could this happen?
00:59:08Isn't it obvious?
00:59:09It's all because this Emperor overestimated himself, insisting on holding the mountain ceremony.
00:59:14I previously tried to advise him.
00:59:16Unfortunately, he wouldn't listen.
00:59:21With His Majesty acting so recklessly, it's better to let the Empress Dowager continue to rule from behind the curtain.
00:59:27At least it won't shake the foundation of the nation.
00:59:30Or enthrone the regent as Emperor.
00:59:33This way, at least we can win over the most powerful of the vassal kings, King of Martial Power.
00:59:40This is bad.
00:59:41If the mountain ceremony fails, war will surely break out.
00:59:44Not only will His Majesty lose power,
00:59:46but my father will also be in grave danger.
00:59:49Your Majesty, the ceremony cannot continue.
00:59:52If the mountain ceremony fails, and the news spreads,
00:59:55it will only hasten the fall of our country.
00:59:57Winnie, why do you think that I will fail the mountain ceremony?
01:00:00Your Majesty, at this point, please be realistic.
01:00:03Look at the sky.
01:00:04There's no sign of auspiciousness.
01:00:07Winnie, that's because I haven't entered the altar yet.
01:00:10Once I set off, the heavens will surely respond.
01:00:13You.
01:00:16Forget it.
01:00:18It's my fault.
01:00:19As the Empress, I didn't dissuade Your Majesty before.
01:00:23Sebastian, you have no achievements.
01:00:25Yet you arbitrarily held the mountain ceremony,
01:00:27causing unrest in the land,
01:00:29and instability among the people,
01:00:31leading to foreign invasions.
01:00:32All of this is your fault.
01:00:33My fault.
01:00:35You are all incredibly foolish.
01:00:37Once I step onto this altar,
01:00:38the heavens will show miraculous signs,
01:00:41naturally proving that I am the true dragon incarnate.
01:00:44Then, the world will unite under my rule,
01:00:46and all nations will submit.
01:00:48All current crises will be resolved instantly.
01:00:52That's ridiculous.
01:00:54Even now, you're still deceiving yourself.
01:00:56Sebastian,
01:00:56if you know what's good for you,
01:00:58hand over the throne to me and the Empress Dowager,
01:01:01and continue to prolong the life of our country.
01:01:04A bunch of ants daring to covet the imperial power.
01:01:08Watch closely.
01:01:09This is what's called the divine right of kings.
01:01:12The fate of the summer country rests on my shoulders.
01:01:40The weather is changing.
01:01:42No.
01:01:43His majesty causes this celestial phenomenon.
01:01:46He is aided by the divine.
01:01:52What?
01:01:53There is really a celestial phenomenon?
01:01:55Could it be that
01:01:56his majesty is the next wise ruler of our country?
01:02:00Mountain ceremony is successful.
01:02:02Summer country is saved.
01:02:03Saved.
01:02:10Impossible.
01:02:11He was clearly just a puppet before.
01:02:12Why?
01:02:13It was a clear sky just now.
01:02:15And now it's thunder and lightning, Sebastian.
01:02:17What trick did you use?
01:02:18I'm the son of heaven.
01:02:20I came to this mountain.
01:02:21The heaven naturally responded.
01:02:23Could his majesty really be
01:02:25the savior of summer country?
01:02:27It's over.
01:02:28I must go back and report to the king.
01:02:30Summer country is about to have another
01:02:31brilliant and ambitious overlord.
01:02:33Oh no.
01:02:34The emperor is really the son of heaven.
01:02:37No.
01:02:37I have to report to my father quickly.
01:02:40Tell him to withdraw his troops immediately.
01:02:42Otherwise, our entire Xionglu
01:02:44will suffer devastating consequences.
01:02:46He will be driven out of the grasslands.
01:02:53Impossible dark clouds and rolling thunder
01:02:55are clearly terrible omens.
01:02:56How could they be auspicious?
01:02:58Exactly.
01:02:59It must be the emperor who angered the heavens.
01:03:02Now the heavens have issued a warning
01:03:03preparing to unleash divine punishment.
01:03:05Indeed.
01:03:06According to historical records,
01:03:09all the wise rulers
01:03:10who successfully performed
01:03:12mountain ceremony
01:03:13encountered auspicious signs.
01:03:16But all of them were golden light
01:03:18and colorful clouds.
01:03:20Not such a terrifying scene.
01:03:24The empress dowager is right.
01:03:26Otherwise, this useless emperor,
01:03:28how could he possibly alarm the heavens?
01:03:30False alarm.
01:03:31Now it's summer country.
01:03:32That's going to suffer.
01:03:34It's over.
01:03:35The heavens are furious.
01:03:37What are we going to do, oh dear?
01:03:38Divine punishment descends.
01:03:40Summer country will suffer great losses.
01:03:44Sebastian, if you don't want disaster
01:03:46to fall from the heavens
01:03:47or bring misfortune to summer country,
01:03:50now, in addition to handing over the throne,
01:03:52you must also atone for your sins with death.
01:03:54Otherwise, it will be against the will of heaven.
01:03:57You.
01:04:01Your majesty, come down from the altar.
01:04:04I'm willing to join you in worshipping the heavens.
01:04:06We beg the gods for forgiveness.
01:04:12See, the thunder arms ceasing soon.
01:04:14Now only the emperor's death
01:04:15can appease this catastrophe.
01:04:17Exactly.
01:04:18If the emperor doesn't kill himself,
01:04:20we cannot appease the heavens.
01:04:24Anyone who interferes is aiding
01:04:26and abetting the evildoer.
01:04:27Empress Dowager, stop your fear-mongering.
01:04:29Fear-mongering?
01:04:30Then how do you explain
01:04:31this terrifying celestial phenomenon?
01:04:35What are you waiting for?
01:04:36Kill the emperor.
01:04:38Do you want summer country to fall?
01:04:43Now, whoever kills the emperor first
01:04:45will save our country
01:04:46and become the greatest hero.
01:04:48He'll be rewarded by the court.
01:04:56I'm here.
01:04:57I'll see who dares touch his majesty.
01:05:02Your majesty, run.
01:05:03I'll hold them up.
01:05:04My life is for the royal family
01:05:06of our country.
01:05:08Report!
01:05:12Report!
01:05:13Report!
01:05:14Xiongnu in the north
01:05:15has breached two fortresses.
01:05:16One hundred thousand cavalrymen
01:05:17are at the gates
01:05:18of the general city.
01:05:20Report, report!
01:05:21Report the southern barbarians
01:05:23have killed the inspector.
01:05:24They are pillaging
01:05:24the southwestern people.
01:05:25What?
01:05:31Summer country is in peril!
01:05:32Could it be, could it be
01:05:33that his majesty
01:05:34really has to sacrifice himself
01:05:36for the nation?
01:05:38After all,
01:05:38mountain ceremony
01:05:39was his majesty's
01:05:40own willful act.
01:05:41This disaster
01:05:42should not affect the people.
01:05:45Someone,
01:05:46bring the emperor a sword.
01:05:47Let him immediately
01:05:48commit suicide here.
01:05:55All of you are so ignorant
01:05:56and ridiculous.
01:05:57There's such a divine sign,
01:05:58yet you are so blind.
01:06:00Putting on heirs
01:06:01as the emperor
01:06:02instead of thinking
01:06:03about how to quell
01:06:04this disastrous omen.
01:06:06You think about
01:06:06how to make excuses.
01:06:08This is simply
01:06:09endangering our country.
01:06:10Your majesty,
01:06:11stop it.
01:06:11If this continues,
01:06:12the country will truly perish.
01:06:14Your majesty,
01:06:15please prioritize
01:06:16the country
01:06:17and its people.
01:06:18Sacrifice yourself.
01:06:19Don't ruin
01:06:20the national fortune.
01:06:22You all think
01:06:22this is a bad omen.
01:06:23No,
01:06:24this is clearly
01:06:25an auspicious sign.
01:06:26It proves I am
01:06:27a peerless emperor.
01:06:36Open your eyes
01:06:37and see clearly.
01:06:38I am the sun of heaven.
01:06:45Sign is completed.
01:06:47You'll instantly obtain
01:06:48the true dragon fortune
01:06:49as proof of your
01:06:50imperial endowment.
01:07:02This is...
01:07:04The true dragon has appeared.
01:07:06This is an extremely rare
01:07:07auspicious sign.
01:07:08Summer country will prosper.
01:07:09Summer country will prosper.
01:07:29Your majesty.
01:07:36Divine dragon incarnate,
01:07:38Your majesty must be
01:07:39the son of heaven.
01:07:41Divine dragon.
01:07:42It is really
01:07:43the divine dragon.
01:07:44The divine beast
01:07:45has manifested.
01:07:46Summer country
01:07:47has another heavenly con.
01:07:48We cannot be his enemy.
01:07:50Father must withdraw
01:07:51his troops immediately.
01:07:52This shouldn't be happening.
01:07:54You're just a puppet emperor.
01:07:55How is this possible?
01:08:02This is the might
01:08:04of our country.
01:08:05Have you all seen it?
01:08:09Divine dragon incarnate,
01:08:11it is unprecedented
01:08:12and perhaps will never
01:08:13be seen again.
01:08:14Your majesty will surely
01:08:16revive the country
01:08:17and save the people
01:08:18from suffering.
01:08:19Conquer all directions.
01:08:21Subdue the barbarians.
01:08:22You will become
01:08:23the next heavenly con.
01:08:25Long live your majesty.
01:08:30Long live your majesty.
01:08:31Long live your majesty.
01:08:32Now, do you small nations
01:08:34still dare to question
01:08:35that I am
01:08:36a fearless emperor?
01:08:40Salute the heavenly con.
01:08:42Salute the heavenly con.
01:08:44These barbarians
01:08:46truly fear danger
01:08:47but not virtue.
01:08:48Now they see
01:08:49the true dragon
01:08:50descended.
01:08:51The crisis at the border
01:08:52can certainly
01:08:53be easily resolved.
01:08:54In that case,
01:08:56as for the rebellion,
01:08:57what should be done?
01:08:58I'll go back
01:08:58and tell my father
01:08:59to withdraw our truth
01:09:00immediately
01:09:00and we'll offer
01:09:02a thousand cattle
01:09:03and sheep
01:09:03as an apology.
01:09:05We'll pay tribute
01:09:06every year
01:09:06offering a hundred
01:09:07tails of gold.
01:09:08We hope for the two
01:09:09nations to reconcile.
01:09:11We are willing to offer
01:09:12a hundred animal hides
01:09:13and a thousand jewels.
01:09:14We guarantee
01:09:15to never harass
01:09:16the people again.
01:09:17We're begging
01:09:18for your forgiveness.
01:09:20Not enough.
01:09:22No.
01:09:22I want a hundred times
01:09:24more than what
01:09:25you just offered.
01:09:26The same goes
01:09:27for the other nations.
01:09:28Otherwise,
01:09:29I will personally
01:09:30lead the troops.
01:09:31I'll let you all see
01:09:32the might of our country.
01:09:35So are you unwilling?
01:09:36Your majesty,
01:09:37we wouldn't dare.
01:09:38We will discuss it
01:09:39with our king.
01:09:40But this is a matter
01:09:41of great importance.
01:09:42We cannot make a promise
01:09:43without authorization.
01:09:44Then what are you waiting for?
01:09:45Go back and report.
01:09:46Yes.
01:09:47Yes.
01:09:54Your majesty
01:09:55has shown up
01:09:56as the divine dragon.
01:09:57Your name will be known
01:09:58far and wide.
01:10:00Now,
01:10:00those barbarians
01:10:01are intimidated.
01:10:02The empress's father,
01:10:03Stuart,
01:10:04who guards the northern border,
01:10:05will emerge from danger
01:10:06into safety.
01:10:07Congratulations,
01:10:08your majesty.
01:10:12Your majesty,
01:10:13although the barbarians
01:10:14witnessed the might
01:10:15of our country,
01:10:16the amount of tributes
01:10:17is far too great.
01:10:19If the barbarians
01:10:20can't pay tribute on time,
01:10:22I'm afraid they will unite
01:10:23and rebel again.
01:10:24I want all the barbarian tribes
01:10:26to rebel.
01:10:27What?
01:10:27If they surrender,
01:10:29how will I conquer
01:10:30all nations in the future
01:10:31and unify the world?
01:10:33I didn't expect
01:10:34his ambition
01:10:34to be so lofty.
01:10:36But if I want
01:10:37to fight external enemies,
01:10:38I must first pacify
01:10:40the internal ones.
01:10:42Isabella,
01:10:42Wesley,
01:10:43you two just now
01:10:44incited the minister.
01:10:45Spread rumors
01:10:47and deceive the public
01:10:48and intended to kill me.
01:10:49This is a capital offense.
01:10:51Are you two guilty?
01:10:54A capital offense?
01:10:56I was only thinking
01:10:57of the safety
01:10:57of our country.
01:10:58What crime
01:10:59have I committed?
01:11:00Sebastian,
01:11:01if you dare touch
01:11:01her majesty,
01:11:02King of Martial Power
01:11:03will not spare you.
01:11:05Your majesty,
01:11:06you cannot lay hands
01:11:06on her now.
01:11:07The military power
01:11:08of Summer Country
01:11:09is mostly in the hands
01:11:10of her third brother,
01:11:11King of Martial Power.
01:11:13If King of Martial Power
01:11:14rebels in T-State,
01:11:15it will be hard
01:11:16to resist him.
01:11:17It will only cause
01:11:17chaos in the land
01:11:18and countless casualties.
01:11:20Your majesty,
01:11:21her majesty was afraid
01:11:22of divine punishment.
01:11:23She acted in hate,
01:11:24your majesty.
01:11:25Please make a wise judgment.
01:11:26Yes, your majesty.
01:11:28Now that the mountain
01:11:28ceremony has ended,
01:11:30let's just forget about it.
01:11:32Yes, let it go,
01:11:33your majesty.
01:11:34Rise.
01:11:35Thank you,
01:11:35your majesty.
01:11:37So you're so emboldened
01:11:38because King of Martial Power
01:11:39controls the army
01:11:40in T-State
01:11:41and openly defies
01:11:42the court.
01:11:43Sebastian,
01:11:44you can't just say
01:11:44things like that.
01:11:45King of Martial Power
01:11:47holds military power
01:11:48only to share
01:11:49the country's worries.
01:11:50Now I order him
01:11:51to hand over
01:11:51his military power,
01:11:52return it to
01:11:53Summer Country Court.
01:11:54If you want
01:11:55the military power,
01:11:56go get it yourself
01:11:57from King of Martial Power's
01:11:58residence.
01:11:59I just wonder
01:12:00if you have the guts
01:12:01hand over
01:12:02the military power.
01:12:03In your dreams,
01:12:05this is my most
01:12:06important trump card.
01:12:07If you really dare
01:12:08to go to T-State,
01:12:09I will make sure
01:12:10you never return.
01:12:11Your majesty,
01:12:12you must not go
01:12:13to T-State.
01:12:14It would be like
01:12:14walking into a tiger's death.
01:12:16You'd wait
01:12:16to be slaughtered.
01:12:17Your majesty,
01:12:18in my humble opinion,
01:12:19reclaiming the military power
01:12:21requires careful consideration.
01:12:23Your majesty,
01:12:24King of Martial Power
01:12:25has held military power
01:12:26for a long time.
01:12:27He will not give it up
01:12:28easily, T-State.
01:12:29You must not go
01:12:30to T-State.
01:12:32You must not go.
01:12:34Congratulations
01:12:35for completing
01:12:36Mountain Ceremony.
01:12:37The next check-in
01:12:38mission has been activated.
01:12:40The mission is
01:12:40go to
01:12:41the residence
01:12:42of King of Martial Power
01:12:43in T-State.
01:12:44The rewards are
01:12:45100,000 dragon riders
01:12:46and elite troops
01:12:47of the world.
01:12:48Everywhere under heaven
01:12:49is my land.
01:12:50Why can't I go?
01:12:52Tomorrow,
01:12:52I will go to T-State.
01:12:54I'll personally visit
01:12:55King of Martial Power's
01:12:56residence
01:12:56and order him
01:12:57to hand over
01:12:58his military power.
01:13:02Great!
01:13:02No change in your mind.
01:13:04Your majesty,
01:13:05I have summoned
01:13:06the vassal kings
01:13:07to gather at
01:13:07King of Martial Power's
01:13:09mansion
01:13:09for a welcoming feast.
01:13:11You want military power?
01:13:12Why not take
01:13:13the other vassal
01:13:14of King's power
01:13:14as well
01:13:15once and for all?
01:13:17Your majesty.
01:13:19Then I'll have
01:13:19to thank you.
01:13:20We'll see how I seize
01:13:21their military power
01:13:22at King of Martial Power's
01:13:24banquet.
01:13:25Your majesty,
01:13:25I'll be waiting
01:13:26for you
01:13:26at his mansion.
01:13:33Your majesty,
01:13:34this must be
01:13:34the Empress Dowager's
01:13:35trap.
01:13:36T-State is her
01:13:37people's stronghold.
01:13:38King of Martial Power
01:13:39has been in T-State
01:13:40for a long time.
01:13:41He will definitely not
01:13:42hand over
01:13:43his military power
01:13:43to you.
01:13:44All right,
01:13:45I have my own plan.
01:13:50Your majesty.
01:13:58Your majesty,
01:13:59once the news
01:14:00of mountain ceremony
01:14:01gets out in less
01:14:02than a month,
01:14:02the Emperor's position
01:14:03will be secured.
01:14:05Then you hand over
01:14:05the military power.
01:14:06Wouldn't that be?
01:14:07You idiot!
01:14:08Do you really think
01:14:09I'm going to hand over
01:14:10the military power
01:14:11to Sebastian?
01:14:12That loser
01:14:13has no merits
01:14:14or virtues,
01:14:14but he attracted
01:14:15a celestial phenomenon
01:14:16and succeeded
01:14:17in the mountain ceremony.
01:14:19It means his future
01:14:20achievements
01:14:20will far surpass
01:14:22the late Emperor.
01:14:25However,
01:14:26these only prove
01:14:27that he has
01:14:28some potential.
01:14:29Before he becomes
01:14:30powerful,
01:14:31we must nip him
01:14:32in the bud.
01:14:33You mean...
01:14:34The military power
01:14:35is just fate.
01:14:36My real purpose
01:14:38is to trap and strike.
01:14:39It's a trap
01:14:40disguised as a feast.
01:14:41Go all out.
01:14:43I see.
01:14:44If he comes,
01:14:45he's walking
01:14:45into a death trap.
01:14:47We'll kill him
01:14:47and replace him.
01:14:48If he doesn't come,
01:14:49without military power,
01:14:51he'll still be
01:14:52under my control
01:14:53and be ridiculed
01:14:54by the world.
01:14:55He has to continue
01:14:55to be a puppet emperor.
01:14:57Pulling back
01:14:58to gain the upper hand.
01:15:00You are truly brilliant,
01:15:02your majesty.
01:15:03Sebastian,
01:15:04this time I will...
