【ENG SUB】EP4: Kangxi approached Xiangming to discuss strategy!《The Long River 天下长河》【MangoTV Drama】

Lu Sheng passed here when he was going to take the examination To enlighten him An inn was miraculously created by Lu Dongbing And he was provided with millet rice and a pillow So Lu Sheng dreamed he has passed the examination and won the number one scholar The world is his oyster

He was likely to be a royal consort prince Lu Sheng was young and got promoted When there was a border invasion he gave up the pen for the sword and made great contributions And he was given the accolade of Duke and Grand General by his Majesty

Making him an influential and powerful man in the world And his students… Come on, you two save some for me Lu has finally understood prosperity and wealth cannot be retained So he followed Lu Dongbin to the mountains to practice Taoism He can’t be an official but can still be an immortal But us?

We can’t be officials nor can we be immortals We’re just while away the time and nothing could be obtained in the end Although prosperity and wealth ended up nothing He still had a sweet dream When it comes to being an official the last thing I want to do is be an official

But after so many years of study, if you can’t be an official people will think you’re a weirdo Do you think it’s that easy to be an official? Even if you get lucky and become an official you have to be promoted step by step There is no guarantee

That you will be a successful official Listen to me There are lots of people who can only be county officials for life I have a fellow countryman Blind Liu he was put on standby It’s said that he has sought the help of Prime Minister Ming

He spent 1,700 taels of silver tipping the gatekeepers and 5,000 taels of silver in getting a senior official position But he actually bribed 8,000 taels of silver to get a prefectural position I have a cousin who spent 1,500 taels of silver on a solid gold bodhisattva for Prime Minister Suo

Then he passed the imperial exam immediately Buying an official is the same as doing business both parties are in agreement and you get what you pay for It’s equally honest with all people We really have ourselves to blame We’re just poor students But bro you have no problem Because you

Have a strong grounding What? Vulgar Just give up If you can’t gain an official position Why do you need to cling to fame? Besides, the situation that small officials have to bribe big officials and big officials have to bribe bigger officials cannot go on forever Any dynasty where nothing can be done

Without money is close to extinction If I can be an official, I will be If I cannot I will go home to write books Friends should be sincere with each other Any one of us who gains fame in the future should not forget the others and should be helpful

Go through thick and thin together Go through thick and thin together It’s burnt The waiter said they fell behind with several day’s rent so they had been booted out What? Hurry to catch up with them Ask the waiter where they used to stay Get the carriage and horses ready! Well… Let’s go!

So much for this book! You don’t get it Come on Not as good as Lord Jin If compared with Chen Tianyi I am not even qualified to be his student Do you still think I understand it? Please hurry up That man is unrestrained Most of the great talents in the world

Don’t follow the rules Well, I say He’s only in his twenties There are many people who are very knowledgeable in their twenties On the contrary there are few blockheads like you who are so stubborn even at this age, seriously Hurry up Jin Fu behave yourself I am such a hothead

I mean no offense Please hurry up Come on I’m a hothead too and even forgot who is the prisoner for a while Well… We My lords, the carriages and horses are ready Come on, go Ziyuan Wrong word Lord Jin You just said I was a blockhead

But I really can not agree with that Since you disagree then why slap yourself? Why? I… Well, you I… I can not believe I have a little sympathy and admiration for you Of course But on second thought you are a court official a prisoner in custody

There are so many orphans and widows in the Yellow River region because of you how can I sympathize with you? A saint should be strict with himself So you slapped yourself Yeah If you are not a blockhead then who is? Well, come on I just don’t deceive my heart don’t deceive my heart

I just don’t deceive my heart We’re still too late It’s easy for you to find him When we return to the capital we will know which province he is from when we go to the local guild hall for an inquiry There is no need to waste time here

It’s better to hurry on our journey This is a poem by Tianyi For forty years, fame and fortune is a dream but also romantic I was so unsuccessful in my quest for fame that I had to borrow a pillow from you Chen Tianyi from Qiantang Bad poem

Why so obsessed with fame and fortune? A man should have done something in his life How could he do without fame and fortune? Aren’t you and I both pursuers of fame? Why let a man who has the ambition be a recluse? You are a big official

But make a lot of people in trouble Blockhead Pest To be honest I am responsible for this flooding I have been busy fighting these years but neglected river regulations We owe the Yellow River too much Your Majesty Prime Minister Suo and I are to blame for this Your Majesty

Please punish both of us together punish us severely! Forget it The Yellow River is in a state that must be regulated As the old saying goes when the Yellow River is clear, the sage comes out I dare not hope for the Yellow River to be clear I only hope our people

Are no longer worried about the Yellow River I want to find a master of river regulation Li Bing, Pan Jixun Add a discourse on politics in this year’s imperial examination For the river regulation candidates can express their own views I want to select great talents to regulate river through the imperial examination

Your Majesty, your way of selecting talents without restriction is really the great fortune of scholars since ancient times “Without restriction” is well said Whether he is an official or not, regardless of his background as long as he is a great talent to regulate rivers he can be entrusted with important duties You should

Look for them and report anytime Your Majesty is wise What’s wrong? He has excuse What about you? Ming Ming come here! Lord Suo Come here, have I offended you? What do you mean? What do I mean? What’s your problem? Demote you and me What did I do? I don’t understand

This is just a statement What statement? Look We are both senior officials so Wang Guangyu’s incompetence is our fault in the first place So we have to take the initiative to admit a mistake and say some fine words Why are you so serious? Hold it I’m too serious Because of his incompetence

You asked for a demotion But why do you drag me in? Who is the leader of all officials? I demote with you Do I need you to speak for me? Yeah, I’m too emotional not as prudent as you Next time in the South Study Room I’ll lift the curtain for you to apologize

Is it enough? Come on I just hope you don’t set traps for me Lift the curtain for me Annoying guy Go, go Release your hand Let me ride by myself for a while Chop-chop! Chop-chop! Your Majesty, please release your hand and let me ride by myself for a while

Your Majesty, please release your hand let me ride by myself Mother I’ll serve you Your Majesty, be good let me ride by myself for a while, seriously please That won’t do If people see you ride a horse and race in the palace then they must be scared to death

Later I will take you to Mulan Paddock you can ride as you like Take me to the prairies OK, you can go everywhere you like Today, Zhang Yong gave me a horse as a tribute He said this horse was called the fruit horse and it cannot grow up Mother

Always said she wanted to ride the horse So I took the horse out and let her ride to take a break We won another battle at the front, right? How do you know that? This horse is a kind of Yunnan horse Wu Sangui once presented this kind of horse exclusively for women

It comes to me When I went to the West Mountain to pray the coquette surnamed Dong has ridden a fruit horse Who? She is a very small woman I said it was rare to see such a small horse for such a small person Grandma What do you want to know? Grandma I wonder…

I want to know the truth that is not in the National History Museum The grass that stretches for thousands of miles has withered and yellowed My father… Did my father become a monk or pass away? And my biological mom why did she die suddenly? I don’t know any of these

I don’t know anything The grass that stretches for thousands of miles has withered and yellowed Now aren’t you ashamed to ask about your father with those tacky words? What could they know? You would rather believe their rumors than believe me right? The past is gone Is there any good for you

To know these things? Yes Grandma Heavens is up there You must tell me the truth How much of the content of the books in the National History Museum is actually true? Even a beggar has a father and a mother but I only have you, grandma Every time I ask you

You always answer me like this and don’t say anything But now that I’ve grown up You have to tell me the truth Do you really think you’ve grown up? Those servants and officials with red collars and blue collars behaved flatteringly in front of you Do you know how much money

Wu Sangui gave them? They are writing letters behind our back hoping that Wu Sangui rushed into the Forbidden City one day to behead us To them you are just a kid a young and audacious emperor with no authority Alright I’ll tell you the truth If one day we lose

And exit from Shanhai Pass we will both die in this room They will make up the history of the Qing Dynasty without restraint One hundred or two hundred years later people will believe that this is the truth Now you are shouting at me Don’t you think you are childish? Hurry up! Follow me

Release, hurry Release I got it Grandma Hurry If you have known it you can leave here now Keep up with me It’s flying It is really flying Hurry Look! Come and chase me Come on Come on Is it fun? Wang Fuchen of Shaanxi and Geng Jingzhong of Fujian have surrendered

This situation is a watershed for our army This force is weak but one of the three Feudatories can be wiped out It is also a blow to the morale of Wu Sangui’s troops In this way, Shaanxi, Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi could all be pacified one after another Congratulations! Among the Three Feudatories

Shang Zhixin is hesitant Geng Jingzhong is determined Their two armies together are not as elite as Wu Sangui’s soldiers and they were not as good at command as Wu Sangui Wu Sangui’s greatest disadvantage is his great ambition resulting in his forces being spread too thinly But once his troops are contracted

The situation won’t be good for us We can’t be happy too early Your Majesty is right Changsha area with Wu Sangui army stationed I’m afraid it is not easy to deal with As for Shang Zhixin his army is hesitant We can attack him first and Wu Sangui will suffer huge losses

Prime Minister Ming It’s not a good idea to play tricks on a war Even if you wipe out Shang Zhixin’s army Wu Sangui will not surrender Besides in the case that Shang Zhixin cannot pose a threat to our army We don’t need to divide our forces to attack him We’re discussing tactics

Why are you laughing at me? I’m just worried we would be afraid Wu Sangui will overwhelm us with numerical strength In this way both the front and back lines can be more confident We can get rid of two of the three Feudatories How can you call this trick? Fine it’s my fault

I spoke without thinking I’ll buy you a drink later to apologize, Ming Forget it Prime Minister Suo is right We don’t have to be aggressive and redeploy our forces to attack Shang Zhixin Besides Guangdong is hot and humid so our troops may not get our way in the battle when they get there

Scattering the troops would instead give Wu Sangui a break Your Majesty is right In my humble opinion as soon as the war in Jiangxi is over we can order General Yue Le to take his army into Hunan and attack Changsha from the side and back At the same time, we can order Le’erjin

To lead the army directly to Jingzhou Wuchang to frontal attack Changsha The rest of the army suppressed one place and advanced one place In this way we can gradually trap Wu Sangui in the Changsha area Le’erjin only has tens of thousands of soldiers Can he guard it? He can’t guard it

He can only keep attacking And select a strong part to intercept the enemy’s grain route The advantages of the Wu army are its strong fighting force and full preparation And the advantages of our army are the strategic depth of the large room for advanced and retreat Only by constantly attacking

To make Wu Sangui suspicious can we gradually surround the enemy I have told Le’erjin we have no reinforcements for him and I would pray for him in the capital Prime Minister Suo is good at fighting For Le’erjin we have to support him anyhow I will think of a way Aye Your Majesty

The army here can not move Galdan Galdan is coming again What did Galdan do? Galdan’s hunting and he asked your Majesty to attend It takes only one day and one night by riding a horse from the Zhaowuda area to the capital How many soldiers do they have? 50,000 elite cavalries

I would like to request Your Majesty the capital Keep the gates open since the imperial examination will be held soon Well the people in the suburbs of the capital have started to flee Even if the 50,000 elite cavalries would not attack they just ride around the capital with swords I’m afraid

It will be It will be a huge shame There is nothing to be ashamed of saying this It’s not a big deal Only less than 10,000 troops remain at the capital Presenting a bold front to conceal a weak defense is the only choice What do you think? Your Majesty In my opinion

Galdan’s army did not carry large siege engines he may just show off the force and scout our strength The main force of our army is now in the south that’s why he has the courage to provoke us Send my order to reward Galdan’s army Reward these 50,000 elite cavalries

With 1 kg of wine and 2 kg of meat each In addition send 1,000 cavalries from the Xiangshan Elite Battalion to accompany them in the hunt Drink, brag and fight with them do whatever make a good relationship with them but our cavalries can not lose the fight Aye

I will personally deliver the order And tell Galdan I miss them very much In the year of the imperial examinations I’m busy reading the essays of the scholars Aye Come on don’t be so downhearted Even I can tolerate this anger Why you cannot tolerate it? Wait until the Three Feudatories are pacified

Then we can deal with other matters Don’t panic My boy do you miss Uncle Grandpa? Uncle Grandpa Do you miss me? Sure His Majesty ordered me to go back to work after two hours Since Prime Minister Suo is busy with military affairs don’t get yourself too tired, please I know it

His Majesty also asked Your Excellency not always spoil the prince it’s not easy to discipline him after he returns to the palace Get out Get out How can you swear? Come here Slow down, watch out for falls Mind the steps You’re such a naughty boy Draw tigers, draw tigers I promise, draw tigers

OK, fine, fine But let me ask you first what should you call me? Uncle Grandpa Uncle Grandpa And who loves you the most? Uncle Grandpa and dad If someone asks you the same question in the future you should answer “father” at first Do you remember? Although I love you

You will inherit your father’s throne in the future So You have to behave well like a little emperor Is that clear? Alright, let’s draw a tiger Wait for me to sit down you can draw now Here you are Draw tigers What should you draw first? A Chinese character “Wang” A Chinese character “Wang”

Great My Lord My Lord Great Prime Minister Ming Draw tigers, draw tigers OK, fine, fine Glad to meet the crown prince here Prime Minister Ming could you go to my study and wait for me for a while? Isn’t this the study? Do you think Don’t move Don’t move

It’s appropriate for you to be here? I think your grace since Prime Minister Suo is so brave why not use vermilion to draw something on his face like a big bloody mouth Do you have any businesses? Why are you always wandering around? Explain it Of course, I have a business to do

Isn’t that the business? What? Don’t move Don’t move Great Here you are, prince See how beautiful this is Look at the bright red color the bright red color How about we switch this one? Use this, use this Draw another tiger? That’s right Draw a red tiger? Don’t move Must stay still Don’t move

Look at you Come on, draw it Right, draw hard Do you have any businesses? Don’t move Draw a big nose first If you have a business, you can say it now Are you going to say it or not? Don’t move I’ve found Jin Fu Don’t move You…

And sent someone to bring him to the capital They’ll be here soon Don’t move. You see I won’t, I won’t I didn’t even tell His Majesty but I come here to tell you How dare you! Don’t move I won’t move You should leave this alone How can I ignore it? Don’t move

I won’t, I won’t You… And one more thing Just now Liang Jiugong told me you even taught the prince to swear So long I’ll even teach him I’ll even teach. Don’t move I won’t move, I won’t Have you finished drawing the tiger? Have you? Have you? Have you finished? Come on

You old bastard Who is the official in charge of the escort? I’m Yu zhenjia, the magistrate of the Prefecture of Jiangning Excuse me, my lord Prime Minister Ming asked the Ministry of Punishments to take Jin Fu directly to the beekeeping lane Take the deportation order and go back Yes

The Ministry of Punishments will come to deliver I can go back The court will investigate your case clearly If you are a good official His Majesty will not treat you unjustly from the Prefecture of Jiangning You think I am a good official There is one thing I want to entrust to you Please

My son Jin Zhiyu was lost on the river course if you have a chance to meet him Please please tell him about my whereabouts How do I tell him? Tell him I didn’t take care of him and I’m sorry to his mother I couldn’t make a lot of money

And leave him a family fortune It is enough to have a straightforward spirit Please! The nib should always be in the middle of the line when writing This also contains the truth of life For example we need to be straightforward in our actions and thinking Yeah just like this Look the hook left-falling

Dot right-falling That’s how to go from slant to vertical It’s like using an oar when we row a boat The strength is from the center As for the reasoning here you have to think about it in-depth Have you got it? Repeat what I just said Little dummy Your Majesty

When the Prince goes to school the teacher will naturally teach him Teaching my son is a joy And he’s a prince, not just a kid I need to tell him these truths often It doesn’t matter if he can understand or not He can remember first

And he will naturally get to know it in the future He could never use the lessons your Majesty had taught him You’re wrong about this Our Manchu children are different from the Han children who have a thick base of culture We have to work harder I hope this child could be

A much better emperor He could not just be kind and honest and become an incompetent emperor Repeat What do you think of his writing? Tell the truth, don’t flatter The Prince can reach such a level at a young age which is very extraordinary I was going to wipe his face clean

I did not expect to become dirty Take him to the Empress Dowager Do not let him eat too many sweets or he will be overstuffed again Go Aye Please Your Majesty Jin Fu has been escorted to the capital I put him in the beekeeping lane shelter So fast I couldn’t trust the outsiders

So I asked my private adviser to escort me here day and night He took good care of the prisoner I will interrogate him personally Your Majesty What’s wrong? It’s not a good time I have told Lord Suo about this matter because I can’t keep it from him He must hate me now

And will definitely spread this All officials are concerned about it If Jin Fu confesses to the corruption of a group of river officials It will lead to the anxiety of all officials and political instability You have brought him here from a long way with no interrogation and conviction then won’t the officials

Be even more confused? As long as your Majesty does not panic someone will naturally be in disarray Wang Guangyu died because your Majesty was eager to interrogate him I am worried about if something happens to Jin Fu wouldn’t it be against your Majesty’s original intention The imperial examination is about to start

So I don’t want to cause any trouble Keep an eye on Jin Fu His life and death depend on you I will make sure this is done without a hitch Let’s go Don’t move Ming Zhu come out here! Come out! Prime Minister Suo? come out here! I suppose There are many urgent matters

Waiting for me to deal with Don’t you know his Majesty ordered me? How dare you disrupt politics! I’ll sue you to his Majesty Come with me Prime Minister Suo, what’s wrong? What have I done wrong to make you so angry? Let me ask you something

Should you or I be in charge of the affairs of the six ministries? Of course you and I’m your assistant Jin Fu, the Governor of Anhui Province is a criminal wanted by his Majesty But you hid him from me and brought him to the capital Besides he is a dismissed criminal

How can you place him in the beekeeping lane? Do you think that is the place where the official is awaiting trial? You are also violating the court’s stipulation by not putting him in prison What do you want? Do you have any respect for me? Let me tell you

The vermilion ink on my face took me a long time to clean You bastard Yeah, it’s hard to wash off Come on, come with me Prime minister Suo! His Majesty has already reprimanded me Well What you have rebuked is right You behaved like a solemn and just ancient minister Enough

Don’t talk nonsense with me Take him to the jail right away I will now go into the palace and discuss your conviction with his Majesty Aye Greetings, your Majesty Your Majesty I want to report Ming Zhu It’s about Jin Fu, right? He just handed in his memorial of confession

You don’t know about this, right? I didn’t know it before either This unworthy servant In my opinion he must be planning something What? Ming Zhu wants to interfere with the six ministries and recklessly breach the court’s decree Jin Fu is a criminal tagged by your Majesty And he is the culprit

Of this flooding He does not execute him according to the law and to reveal his crime to everyone Is it because they have some kind of collusion? And he could have sent anyone to bring the criminal back This is a big breach! The more I think about it the angrier I get He

He is a senior official Doesn’t he even know this rule? It seems that we really need to discuss his offense Come on, get up Uncle Grandpa How could he collude with Jin Fu? He just wants to take credit Do you think I can’t tell his petty tricks? But this time Here you are

Since he brought Jin Fu back He can be considered not messing things up I already reprimanded him Reprimanded him severely I think it is better not to make a big deal Otherwise it will look like His Majesty and we ministers have different opinions Your Majesty If you’re so protective of him

And interfere with the six ministries Then I will quit my job and go home to retire Uncle Grandpa I’ve only said a few words and you want to quit Where is my prestige as an emperor? During this period of time the imperial examination and Wu Sangui caused me a headache

After these major events are resolved I will definitely rectify the court Rectify? Definitely For example, Ming Zhu I’ll demote him by two ranks and then deduct his salary for one year, alright? Your Majesty Then you must follow the court’s decree and take Jin Fu to the execution ground

For public execution as soon as possible I’ll definitely execute him but not here I’ll execute him at the Yellow River to placate popular grievances of the seven counties by the Lixia River People in seven counties by the Lixia River suffered this terrible flooding As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty

I want to go there to visit the people so that I can feel relieved Jin Fu is now imprisoned in the beekeeping lane which is better than in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments and dying of illness, right? Isn’t that too good for him? In this way

You help me think of a solution and pass the report paper Well… You can leave now Aye As regards heaven and earth they are nothing but an inn for all living creatures As regards time it is nothing but a passerby in the long run of a hundred generations

Since our life is as fleeting as a dream how long can our joy possibly last? Choose the good Since our life is as fleeting as a dream Correct those Correct those I say, Gao can you be quiet for a while? You give me a headache Same question for you You buzz

Like a fly The saint would be irritated How can you be so relaxed? If I get selected, it’s my good luck If not, It’s my fate What are you afraid of? I can’t give people money like Xu Qianxue I don’t want to study like you You rise above the ordinary

We’re all average people I can only entertain myself Don’t even turn to Prime Minister Ming Sent fifty taels worth of property and did not even see Prime Minister Ming It is cheaper to see Prime Minister Suo you can see him for five taels Those who are going to see him come with me

It’s only five taels five taels Isn’t that a chance for everyone? Go Go five taels Wait for me Yes, come down! Come down! Come down! Hurry hurry hurry hurry Only five taels of silver Five taels of silver There you go I don’t have any money If I had money I would have gone

These people will become prime ministers, generals I do not know what kind of people they will become Let it go That doesn’t matter Let’s at least settle the matter at hand Tianyi If you and I can’t get into the play we can only be odd jobs men Master The guests

Are waiting in the hall How much money did you get for this? How dare I? The flood has receded and the students entered the capital to take part in the imperial examinations There are people with letters of request and people waiting to offer money And If you don’t see them

They will go to Prime Minister Suo You mean I should see them Well If I may say so this little money is not important But in the future if they pass the exam they will be your people in the court What are you talking about? Don’t ever say that again

His Majesty resents this Who does not know? Either to see me or to see Minister Suo I’m changing the rules today I don’t see any of them His Majesty nurses a grievance against Suoetu about the way he treats Jin Fu With the misdeed of taking bribes from the students attached to him

He will be in a real predicament Then we won’t see them Not seeing doesn’t mean not caring You keep watch on this If the student has anything to do with Suo’etu or one who’s hostile to us he will not be admitted We don’t do anything ourselves We just make trouble for Suo Etu

Do you understand? Aye Suo Call me dad Just do it as I require
