Go Is he dead? Yes Turn it over Yes He’s spitting water. He’s still breathing He’s still breathing He’s alive Lord Jin You’re still alive, my Lord We’ve been worried about you all the time On the Yellow River Dikes Lord Jin Bring a bowl of rinsed water Coming! Here you are Who’s him?
The Governor of Anhui Lord Jin Fu What’s wrong with you? He deserves it Do you have any idea of how many people have been killed because of him? Look, my Lord There seems to be a fight over there Lord Jin is a good soul Let’s go and check it out Here you go
Bring him a bowl of medicine to cure the chill he’s caught And don’t let him die He’s awake His life is mostly saved This is Lord Yu Zhenjia from the Prefecture of Jiangning Express your gratitude now So you are Jin Fu The Governor of Anhui How can you be alive?
Seven counties by the Lixia River now is the turf of shrimp and fish It’s all because of you You must stay alive If you die Where will tens of thousands of lost souls find you? Your Majesty I have just received a memorial from Yu Zhenjia of the Prefecture of Jiangning
He mentioned the discovery of the Anhui Governor Jin Fu Heaven’s vengeance is slow but sure Finally, we have the culprit found Finding him makes it easier to find the culprit Send a right-hand man and escort Jin Fu here to the capital He is the last living clue Aye
From God’s blessings and follow the decree of his Majesty that the Anhui Governor Jin Fu should be escorted by Yu Zhenjia to the capital Respect it! Guilty servant Jin Fu obeys the imperial edit His majesty is so wise Yu Zhenjia receives the edit My Lord Please stand up
I am the advisor of Premier Ming He has bid me come and escort your excellency all the way to the capital and make sure you are safe and sound I’m flattered When we go out please get in the prison van and posture for a while I’ll disentangle you from the instruments of torture
Once we get out of Jiangning Certainly, you will go to the capital safe and comfortable Please Please Did Mingzhu bid you do this? Sheltering the sinner blatantly He’s not worried I may inform against him? The prison van and the instruments are laws And you told him to strike a pose
How dare you say the word posture? I suppose you did not understand the decree First of all, there’s no sinner Second, it didn’t say he should be taken away under escort The outburst of the Yellow River should be ascribed to those river governors Now you want the Anhui Governor to take the fall
It makes no sense And you even want to inform against the Premier Ming So be it I disdain you if you don’t If you dare do that Those instruments of torture will be on your body I’m a man who died once What’s so terrible about those instruments of torture? Compared with those
Dead men in the flood whose corpses cannot even be found I’m already blessed by God Do as this Lord’s wish Good for you You… Mother Zhao Gao’s great today An egg was laid So did Qinhui The other two should be Cai Jing and Gao Qiu’s (all of them are infamous and evil counselors)
You can eat them on your way to the capital tomorrow Mother I’m in charge of escorting the prisoner to the capital Board and lodging will be provided by the post station I don’t need to bring extra food Save it for yourself You save the eggs for me
So that others will think of you as a filial son Actually, you are just afraid of being greeted with derision by your subordinates and thus losing your face and pride as a Lord for bringing eggs This is duplicity Am I right? No Of course not Do not deceive your heart and conscience
Did you just lie to your heart? I’m so disappointed in you I felt sorry for the suffering of Jin Fu when I went to save people today You have nothing but useless kindness When I listened to the imperial edit I even hugged myself with secret joy
For being ordered to escort Jin Fu to the capital Thinking that the king sees me A shameless attempt at promotion occurred to me Today I lied to my heart and even my mother What a monster! Today… Get lost Go away, Zhao Gao Get lost It’s all your fault
If I cannot be a saint Out Leave us alone Lord Jin Here comes an errand for you What errand? Well First, eat the food and drink the wine Then write down the incident of the Yellow River outburst from beginning to end without missing any detail My master decided
To help you out of it You write it down and he’ll send it to his Majesty so that his Majesty can know your grievance My Lord The word of my master is that Wang Guangyu has put all the blame on you He has an axe to grind Does it work on you?
As a governor what you have done should suffice Just complain if you have your grievances And you got my master on your back Maybe you’ll get a promotion someday So your master wants to exonerate me Exactly Except I have no guilt to be exonerated The word of my master is
That his Majesty was furious And his anger won’t get over unless some high-ranking officials are beheaded So be it If you don’t want this Then tell me who you’d like to write to Write it I’ll send it for you Stop nagging You are stumped, right? Right, to whom shall I write? My son?
I don’t even know whether he is alive now My wife? I brought our son out and now I cannot bring him back Actually, I’m the one who deserves to die The Gods didn’t let you There must be a reason There is only one thing I’m curious about Can you explain to me?
You saved my life I’ll answer whatever you ask You’ve enjoyed the status of a governor Why bother with the river affairs? Can only river officials govern the Yellow River? govern the Yellow River? The Yellow River flows through nine provinces surging thousands of miles across its banks Is it my business?
If I don’t know what have you done I might think you are some kind of a big man if I only heard those words I’ve been told that your head is wanted by his majesty Get yourself some rest Great, great A nice book? A fine work on harnessing a river Fabulous
What is done is done Now you are reading a book on river harnessing Can a slow remedy fix an emergency? It is never too late to mend What about the summer flood? What about the autumn flood? What about the winter flood? Or what if there’s another flood next year? It can’t go on
Like this forever The king wants to warn all the people with your head You have read the book for nothing In my mind Harnessing the Yellow River is not the crunch As the ancients say Dayu tamed the flood mainly by dredging Which means, by and large, it’s all about broadening the streamway
Deepening the riverbed Forging the embankment After that, nothing will change even Atlantis falls But why his Majesty wants to harness the river? Because he wants to maintain the transportation There were no canals in the days of King Yu the Great Because the geography and the hydrology were different than it is now
If we still use the primitive methods Are we not disregarding the changing circumstances? If this book is really helpful I’ll manage to hand it over and pass it on to those successors It’s a good deed after all Zhenjia If you have any advice Teach me Don’t call me Zhenjia
You should call me Lord Yu or Governor Yu Now that I have the chance Today I want to tell you I grew up reading saints And I made their words my faith I became a Lord so that I can save the poor from their plight and right what should be right To succeed
Or to die Funny, right? I’m that childish Admirable If the chance offered I do wish I can see the emperor put you in an important position and achieve something great so that we old buffers will feel ashamed of ourselves My Lord We are about to arrive at the Cloud’s Ladder Ugh
I’d like to take a look Stop Zhenjia, look Over there The last time I was there it was a harmonious village Such a calamity Lad Lad Your honor What are you doing? My Lord I guess he’s another one who has a death wish Haven’t you gotten used to it? Then save him
We cannot just let him die I’ll go into the water to save him My Lord, Lord Yu How can you let Lord Yu save him You go Hurry up Oh no oh no He goes down! He goes down! Help Help Hel… Hurry up, hurry up Is he alright? Does anybody have liquor?
Let him gulp some Get the liquor Liquor A poor swimmer like you tried to save me? Couldn’t you just die somewhere else? I’m saving you There were undercurrets in thr water A single slip You’ll never see this beautiful world anymore What the hell were you doing down there?
I was testing the velocity of the Yellow River I’m not Qu Yuan Why would I carry the stones to get myself drowned? I suppose The current is cold and rapid And you just went down like that You have a death wish or something? I am the River God reincarnate
I feel at home in the water To drown me? Nonsense Lunatic He must be a lunatic Lord Yu from the Prefecture of Jiangning There’s only one inn left in town And two rooms remain vacant It cannot house us all Bullshit Drive the owner out Tell him to make room I’m an inmate
I can be housed anywhere My sins may grow if I disturb these folks for that Not a bit Premier Ming specifically told me to take good care of your honor on the way I could sleep in the open but you are too good for this If you disobey the law
And harass the people A grave lawsuit will be brought OK, fine, fine As you wish What are you waiting for? Find a stable for Lord Yu to squeeze in, now Aye Please My Lords Inside, please Please Please Gentlemen There’s really nothing square to eat after flooding Only chickens and ducks raised by myself
And a jar of liquor for free The best rooms in the backyard have been cleaned up I’ll go wait on you later when you finished your dinner Great You’re hiding your chickens and ducks from me Serve one Sir Your fellows have given me two more jars of wine on credit
Would you like to settle this bill together or separately? If the flood hadn’t cut off the way I wouldn’t have spent another day in your stupid slum One day I win the number one scholar and become a prime minister Is money still a problem? Just serve it Becoming a prime minister?
Uppity young man Hear, hear! Becoming a prime minister I tell you what I never do that even in my wildest dream Mr. Gao’s method is not working You are the lad by the river, right? Join us, please Thank you so much There are three candidates in one room
Who go to the capital to sit for the imperial examinations Our daily money for food were always trusted by someone for wine secretly May I know your honorable name? Every man is a pedestrian in his journey The name does not matter Great For this remark You deserve my respect Enjoy yourself
What about this gentleman? Is your egg laid by a rooster? Why take only one bite? These are the eggs of my own chickens I feel reassured to eat it The rice Is it from your land, too? And you also didn’t build the inn Are you finished?
What a talker you are to bum meals off me OK, fine, fine You are the big man All my fault, your honor You a big man, too? You can guess Like both a folk and an offical Like both a civil officer and a military official Dude, you are really dubious How so?
Your behaviors gave me a sense of grace But you didn’t talk like a bureaucrat You read like a civil servant But your eyes, the calluses on your hands and the wrinkles on your face gave you a look of a military officer I’m just an inmate The less you know, the better Let drink
What crime have you committed? A prison sentence or demotion? What are you reading? A book on river control left by the ancients The ancients called it the Yellow River Now we call it The Sorrow The Yellow River originates from Guide, Qinghai Province
And flows through Shaanxi and Gansu provinces and then sweeps the loess with its rapids down Sand makes up 60 to 70 per cent of a bucket of water After entering Kaifeng the current slows because of the flat terrain Thus, the sand accumulates Wreaking havoc on the Lixia River
In East Henan, South Shandong and West Anhui The outburst happens often because of summer and autumn flood Alas The Yellow River, the origin and cradle of our ancestors becomes the Sorrow of people now You’ve read this book Where did you get this? On my way here
Word is this book was written in the Song Xining period(1068-1077) by a certain mystery man It cost very little money If it’s not for the flood It would be mothballed To tell the truth This book is only my way to bilk when I get too bored I must say sorry, man
I’m that mystery man I’m Chen Huang who styled myself as “Tianyi” Chen Huang “Chen Tianyi” Do not tease me The Yellow River inundated when I was born My mother gave birth to me in the water I drifted all day and all night until someone saved me I didn’t die
People say I am the River God reincarnate In the Book of Changes, it is said that heaven is the source of water So I styled myself as “Tianyi” I felt at home in the Yellow River since childhood And I have travelled all the old roads around the River I will have my day
And I will tame the River When I con this book I hated to be unable to be with the ancients at the same time Unexpectedly I can see him face to face You must be fond of water conservancy Unfortunately, you can’t find a proper approach The Yellow River mentioned in this book
Is the situation now instead of the River in the Song Dynasty Any discerning man can distinguish the true from the false Only those who don’t know it would buy it It’s my great honour to meet you Please allow me to kowtow You flattered me No need for a ceremony Please sir Please
Every subject has its own experts I’m already blown away with admiration and respect by your book The Yellow River has been on his Majesty’s mind day and night You have a gift If you can be a great help to the river governor in the future
And harness the Yellow River for the country and people That will be a legacy for the ages If I am about to harness the river I’d like to be someone like Dayu and Li Bing With the national treasury at my disposal and thousands of men under my command
The weather changes when I breathe and the Yellow River changes its course when I stop by Being a help? I have no interest To be honest I’m the Anhui Governor, Jin Fu By the order of his Majesty To be escorted to the capital and to be executed by the law
I’ve been a servant for 20 years I’m fully aware that the Yellow River should be overhauled Or the outburst of it would only be a matter of time That would happen later with an upright official But if with a venal official You’ll be the future me Then why are you reading
When your head is about to be beheaded? I will present this book to the king It might be of benefit to the future river governor I’ve had a clear conscience throughout my life I shall not go to hell But the River must be overhauled thoroughly Although I cannot see it I only hope
That you can devote yourself to harnessing the River Sir, you can throw it away if you like This book was written before I was 20 It appears I’ve put nonsense or bullshit as its core Farewell I appreciate your kindness Thank you Listen up Later, find a pretext as you like
And get those stupid scholars out of the inn for making room for us Gao Just in time Help me with this riddle What’s the riddle? There is a 李 above a 井 Such a lame riddle A 李 above the 井 which means nothing but there’s a plum tree above the well
To solve the riddle The plum tree is a breakthrough point What’s in the plum tree? Plums, of course Brilliant! Brilliant! I haven’t even said anything yet And you’re fawning no me Listen A 李 above the 井, solve it like this A peach is not a peach
The difference lies in the layer of fuzz An apricot is not an apricot The difference lies in a seam A lapse of attention And you stole my wine I told you It doesn’t matter how adept you are at an eight-part essay If the examination was texting our talent in literature or skills
I would have passed I need to suffer and endure year after year? I can’t even Mingzhu and Suoetu These big men All of them are money grabbers Never know when to stop I’m afraid the money we brought for the meal is not enough for them to buy a new coat
We got business to deal Is Mr. Gao Shiqi here? Mr. Gao Come in, please Take a seat I’m the one you are looking for Are you looking for a psychic to tell your fortune? I’m the disciple taught by Zhuangzi himself I am the grand mage I tell no wrong fortune
Or there is a sick person in your house? I am the true heir of a Confucian physician I’ve commenced my practice of medicine and cure since I was a child Illness departs at a touch of my hand This is a friend of mine Xu Qianxue He’s the descendant
Of Premier Xu in the Ming Dynasty You wonder what he is capable of? Far beyond you can imagine Why are you suddenly talking about me? I wanna know my dream omen Dream omen? Great I inherited the authentic tradition of Zhuangzi
To get the auspicious omen of a dream is kind of in my wheelhouse You tell me your dream now And I’ll get you what you want to know I dreamed that a cowhide drum was strewn with a handful of dice The dream is good Did you take a concubine?
A concubine that is young and beautiful You are really a blessed man You are so amazing Please tell me is it auspicious or not A small ingot of silver for omen telling Ok, please Let me help you A dice cast on the drum would make a sound And the dice is colorful
So your life will be colorful and sound This is such an auspicious dream The Gods are blessing you Thank you, thank you Please Tianyi What are you looking at? The rain seems to have changed So has the wind Ugh, I… Ugh, I… And so has the person Don’t be scared, sir
He’s one of my friends, too Chen Huang who styled himself as “Tianyi” Claiming to be the reincarnation of the River God Be careful, sir Remember to take a tonic The wind has changed We’ll be able to go to the capital in five days I went to the River today
The speed of water is more than twice as slow as it was yesterday It’s time for this flood to end If not The Jade Emperor and Guanyin Bodhisattva should end the flood Are you lost your mind? Maybe you should be a fortune teller See? I’ve earned the money for wine for the day
Get us some drinks later Let’s talk over a cup of wine Mr. Gao That old man who just took a beautiful concubine Why did you say his life is gonna be colorful and sound? Then what should I say? Just tell him the bitter truth? Enlighten me, please Enlighten what? You saw him
This is an old man dices with death by spending his life on women Mr. Gao You are not being moral The wisdom of the ancients is really informative and penetrative Thanks to your intelligence If I were you I’ll never know the broad and great wisdom of the ancients with my poor wit
Enough, enough Stop bragging You lick the shoes of those ancients They cannot hear a single word To kiss the cup is what we should do Let’s go! Yes Go If the flood hadn’t cut off the way I’ll never take a look at your stupid slum What kind of flea bottom this place is
Now that you disregard our inn You are free to go And the debts of food you owed to us I’ll just take it as a bad deal What did you say? Do you know who I am? Well Now look You’ve seen this before? An authentic antique from the Han Dynasty Mr. Gao
Let your little inn alone even your whole family could live without any trouble with this What? You want to grab it? Dude, man You knew the situation We cost all our money because of this rain There are always inconveniences away from home Do us a favor This doesn’t have to be like that
Gentlemen I’m truly sorry The room was unpaid for five days The innkeeper stopped delivering coal And food, too My little inn is about to be doomed Just find somewhere else, please You… You dare… Do you know who he is? This Lord Yeah I paid you respect, you better take it
There’s torrential rain outside And you want to drive us out You really have no heart, right? I tell you one more thing The last man treated me like this The tree on the grave is already this thick And this man He’s just gotten evicted by the Shaolin Temple because of killing two guys
Now look at him If you were in the former dynasty you dare talk to him like that He would already have stabbed you like this Be careful He would already… tore you apart Stab him Stab him Calm down Chill, man Calm down If you dare mean any harm to us
You’ll see the consequences You’ll see the consequences I’ll kick your ass Get your hands off me I know the way out Listen to me The tree of that guy’s grave is already this thick Keep moving Listen to me It’s true Touch me if you dare Shut up Get out Go away Your package
Keep moving Shut up Shame on you disgraceful boors When I win the number one scholar I’ll definitely tear your flea bottom apart Brother, come Let’s go Go Come in, please That damn butler I just found out that he had driven a family out so as to make a room for me
So the family was crying at the window How can I live with that? Then move in Let’s squeeze up a little On such a rainy day It’s nice to have a room to stay You take the bed and I’ll sleep on the ground No, you take the bed I’m an inmate
I’ll be at the door in case you run away What this? I’m meditating Leave me alone Go to bed What is meditation? Zeng Zi said Self-introspection should be practised on a daily basis Every day I need to think about what I did during the day If I think about goodness
Put one white stone in it If it’s badness Put a black one When the bowl is full of white stones you are a saint then Yeah I never thought Lord Yu was fond of Neo-Confucianism I won’t keep you any longer Go ahead You don’t like to read
Of course you cannot know the beauty of it That is useless This is the spiritual method handed down by the sages Which can cleanse all of our evil thoughts And thus, getting our nirvana If you had learned this You would not have become a corrupt official You really believe this?
Of course I do What if a person’s behavior is neither good nor evil? Or we put it this way What if a man’s actions seem evil at the time but good in the long run? I don’t know How could that be possible? Go to sleep Like dredging a canal At the expense of
A country’s finance and manpower Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug this canal through At that time He was thought to be extravagant voluptuary and cold-blooded But since then We have always enjoyed the benefits of this canal The Tang Dynasty prospered because of the existence of this canal Troops’ deployment became marvelously quick
So tell me is this good or evil? Is this benevolent or heartless? I don’t know During the reign of Emperor Yao It was said that Xu You was a great country professional So the king wanted to pass his throne on to him But this Xu You even hid
And ran to the river to wash his ears after hearing it He hid in the mountains and lived in seclusion Then tell me again, is this good or evil? Xu You was an upright man You know nothing but echo other’s words If I were Emperor Yao
I would have had cut off Xu You’s head and tied it to the wagon Aren’t we living in a beautiful world? The sun rises and falls The earth offers us food to nourish our bodies He learned manners but hid in the mountains among birds and beasts As a talented country professional
He shirked his responsibilities because of his personal fame What kind of upright man would do that? He was but a dimwit The ancient saying “The greatest benevolence shows no mercy” has a very profound meaning It’s not something you can figure out with a few chess pieces Thanks for teaching me that
I didn’t think you had that insight I assume there should be a satire Who can expect a corrupt official a villain to say some thought-provoking words? Yeah So you never think about good or evil? A man follows his inclinations Why bother? I’m going to hit the sack You keep on meditating
The morning breeze and the lingering moon accompany me to sleep with sorrow Nonsense Bull… …shit Bullshit The immortal Lu Dongbing landed on the Stage How majestic it was Cliche Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit Lu Dongbing and Lu Sheng whispered to me high in the sky Whispered to you? This handwriting looks like nothing Nonsense Nonsense
Nonsense Dude, bro Mind your speech You’ve got those poems on the wall cursed That’s rotten luck Taking the piss from such a snob A snob as he is But he has food and drinks He doesn’t need to be like us, living in this crappy temple I envied him so bad Enough is enough
You cannot fawn over every man you see
