【Preview】EP05-08: Good news! The fish is on the hook~🔥| Legend of Zang Hai | YOUKU
[Legend of Zang Hai] [Episode 5] You stay behind and go over the inventory one more time. Yes, Mr. Yang. I chose you because I trust you. You’re meticulous. You’ve only just arrived, so you’re unfamiliar with how things work here. So, start with this task, train yourself, and open your eyes. Thank you, Mr. Yang. Search this man thoroughly when he leaves. If he’s carrying anything extra, arrest him on the spot. Yes, sir. Who are you? Who are you? What are you doing here? I’m your young master. Won’t you pay respect? You teamed up against me. You think you won? Once I become a great general, I will kill you. I am Zang Hai. My respects, Young Master. [Episode 6] First, we were haunted by Dowager Noble Consort Li. Now again? The late Emperor? I didn’t see it coming. Really? Chu Huaiming. Are you really competent as an Imperial Astronomer? My apologies, My Lord. The coffin of the late Emperor moved for no reason. I have a theory for this. Perhaps we should not have relocated the coffin of the Dowager. Do you suggest that I have to request the Emperor to move back the Dowager? My Lord. Maybe the feng shui was destroyed when they were building the royal tomb. The harm has been done. But the top priority right now is to find an excuse to fix the problem. It won’t take long before the Empress Dowager is buried in the royal tomb. How about this? We can secretly restore the coffin of the late Emperor under the pretext that the royal tomb is in disrepair. However, it’s a big deal to repair the royal tomb. I need approval from you, My Lord. As we discussed earlier, I still need to bother the Emperor, don’t I? My Lord. You just perfectly solved the problem of burying the Empress Dowager. If you propose to repair the royal tomb at this very moment, the Emperor would appreciate your loyalty and grant the request. If we don’t do this, once the rumor goes around that we are haunted by the late Emperor, I’m afraid… Finish the job. No mistake is allowed. Yes, My Lord. It may raise suspicions if I handle this task in person. We have to find someone else. This man should be equipped with feng shui and geomancy. Moreover, to avoid the leak of the secret, he must not have any connections in the court. My Lord. I have a perfect candidate for this job. Speak. Zang Hai, the newly recruited aide. He helped us solve the problem of relocating Dowager Noble Consort Li. He is familiar with the layout of the royal tomb and he knows feng shui and geomancy. Most importantly, he is working for us and totally clean. He is the man we’re looking for. Zang Hai? Is he suitable for this job? My Lord. You’re blessed to have such a rare talent working for you. It’s a great opportunity for him. He deserves a reward once he completes the task. Chu Huaiming. Offer him some role in the Imperial Astronomical Bureau and authorize him to supervise the repair work. Remember, don’t mention it to anyone that he is working for us. Yes, My Lord. The Emperor hereby appoints Zang Hai as Assistant Supervisor of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to supervise the repair work of the royal tomb. Please note. I accept this appointment with pride. Congratulations! Zang Hai. Your birth date is compatible with the late Emperor. You know feng shui and geomancy well. As a newly recruited aide, you’re trusted with such an important job. There is a bright future ahead of you. Thanks, sir. Chu Huaiming said your birth date is compatible with the late Emperor? They cannot wait to see me buried together with the late Emperor. Sinister plan! I don’t think this idea was proposed by a loser like Chu Huaiming. Zang Hai. You offended Yang Zhen. Now they are coming for you. You have to accept the challenge. But they are craving for your blood! No way. I should dress up myself and come with you. Master. They won’t kill me if you come along with me? I’m waiting for their move. Once they make the move, there would be opportunities for me. Only then I can turn the tide and win. That’s the only way to survive. This is too dangerous. You need a backup plan. Master. Come on. Sit. The royal tomb repair takes three months. I’m safe during this period. They may try to bury me once the project is completed. Master. I need two favors from you. [Episode 7] Zang Hai, the Emperor has spoken. Zang Hai, Assistant Supervisor of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, is hereby honored for reinforcing the royal tomb. As he is a man of great talent and compatible birth date, he is authorized to send the Empress Dowager’s coffin for burial and never to leave the tomb as a token of gratitude to the late Emperor, Empress Dowager, and the court. Sir. Zang Hai was so young, so how could he be buried? He’ll do well in the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. Yes, sir. Sir, please think twice. Mr. Zang shouldn’t be buried. This is the intention of the leaders. It also pains me to say so. Nowadays, there are conflicts, many flooding rivers, and earthquakes everywhere. All because the world is not at peace. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau has had its fortune told. For the stability of the world and the peace of life, Zang Hai is the right man. It’s an honor no one else could ask for. Sir. Sir. Sir. Aye. I volunteer to be buried with the Empress Dowager. Very good. Congratulations, Zang Hai. It’s a great honor. Mr. Zang. Mr. Zang. Why do you want to be buried with us? Why did you just say yes? That’s right. That’s right. That’s right. A man who is too talented will become a thorn in the side of others and be scorned by them, so they deliberately arranged for you to build the tomb, but it looks as if you’ve already guessed that. Chu Huaiming’s mind is not hard to guess, but I didn’t expect this. Did you all volunteer to be martyred? Don’t you want to think twice? If we don’t want to, they’ll ask again and again until you agree. In the end, we still can’t escape being forced to volunteer with our limbs maimed. The ethos of the imperial court has come to such a pass. The Great Yong Dynasty’s founding emperors had long ago placed a ban on burials, but that didn’t stop some of those from doing it forcibly. Everyone should be loyal, so who dared to refuse? Of course, they were all forced to volunteer. As for Chu Huaiming, he was even more blatant. He could use it to claim credit and enrich himself. Enrich himself? The court spends a lot of money to honor those who will be buried. We are all going to die, so we can exchange our lives for some money to help our families and children survive. The money will be stolen by Chu Huaiming and others, and in the end, there won’t be much left, but this money is still life-saving for our families. However, Zang Hai, you are so young and talented. Why are you willing to die? I’m as miserable as everyone else. Heaven and hell are all similar, so we’ll treat it as a trip to a foreign land. Come on. Let’s drink. Let’s get drunk today and die tomorrow. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Fill it up. Come on. Come on. Come on. Let’s drink. – Come on. – Let’s drink. Come on. [The Late Empress Dowager’s Memorial] The Emperor doesn’t come even when the Empress Dowager is buried? I heard from a protocol officer that the Emperor got sick from grief during the keeping vigil, so he now only prays for the Empress Dowager in the palace and can’t come. You were an officer, so do you know these people? [Episode 8] Go on. How do you want to die? My Lord… I’d rather not die yet. You pulled this off right in front of all the officials. Don’t you realize you’re a dead man walking? I was born poor, with no one to rely on. If I muddle through life in ignorance, would it even matter, living or dying? But I’m not without value, so I chose to take a chance. What I’m betting on is this very moment. But this moment won’t last long. Once the carriage stops, I’ll kill you. So if you have any last words, say it now while you still can. I know well you’re a man of the battlefield, bathed in blood. A warrior used to life and death won’t believe that today’s events have anything to do with fate. But I… I just wasn’t meant to end today. You’re a master of geomancy. Digging yourself a way out should be easy. But instead, you boldly walked out of the royal tomb. You want to force me to release you right under everyone’s nose? You want the world to see that your life was spared by fate? Escaping was never hard for me. I admit that. But it would’ve meant never showing my face as myself again. It was thanks to your favor that I finally left behind the days of having nothing. If I still wish to serve you, then I need a clean and honest identity. Besides… I’m still human. If someone’s plotting to kill me, I can’t just sit back and wait to die. Even if it costs me my life, I must ask you for justice. Justice? Zang Hai, I’ve seen your geomancy skills with my own eyes. But now, it seems your silver tongue is even more impressive. You keep claiming you owe everything to me, yet you’ve cornered me into sacrificing a valuable man to resolve today’s mess, at the cost of my reputation! Don’t you deserve to die? I believe I did nothing wrong today, because I know you’ve had enough of useless men! So you’re saying my top aide is worthless?
