[In the fifteenth year of Kangxi’s reign, because of Wang Guangyu’s corruption and incompetence, the Yellow River bank was breached] Help! Help Help Help!
Hurry, hold it Help Help! Help! Jin Zhiyu! Jin Zhiyu! I’m here! I’m here! I’m coming! Help Help On official business! On official business! On official business! On official business! On official business! On official business! The guilty minister Wang Guangyu reported the river bank has twelve breakages
And the breach of the Yellow River Dam was caused by Anhui Governor Jin Fu’s embezzlement When the flood was approaching the wages should have been paid to make the workers settle down were embezzled by him He even blew up the dams in Taoyuan and Sangu counties His crazy crime is abominable
And the lower reach area of Yuli was ravaged by floods Our supervision is lax we committed our deadly sin When I wrote it we’re still working hard And I hope my lord could offer more relief money to save the people I will be greatly appreciated if you could consider my request
I called you here so late because I want you to know how awful is the behavior of officials I can’t even get angry anymore Who would knew he even embezzled the relief payment to the river workers I said I wouldn’t kill my ministers but I didn’t say I would not kill sinful ministers
Your Majesty I’ve already sent the warrant of arrest from the Ministry of Punishment But Jin Fu committed suicide in fear of sin Then find his body I’d like to see what kind of people killed innocent people for such a little money And build a tomb for him by the Yellow River
I’ll sigh “The tomb of the corrupt official Jin Fu” in person Let his bones remain submerged for generations so he cannot rest in peace Yes, your Majesty Your Majesty The war was raging in the South please don’t let the worry impair your health your Majesty Wang Guangyu is to blame for
The river outburst I want to ask the authority to behead Wang Guangyu to assuage the people’s anger and then relieve the people Your Majesty The priority is to relieve the people There is no hurry to kill Wang Guangyu so that your Majesty can interrogate him clearly Your Majesty has decreed the execution of
Wang Guangyu is to blame for as the Governor of the River And Wang Guangyu belongs to our Han There’s no need to keep a man who harms his country and his people alive Prime minister, that’s the wrong thing to say The state has its law
How long will the flood of the Yellow River last? Your Majesty the water will subside in April after the spring flood If the dam is overhauled can it withstand the summer flood? autumn flood? I will do my best to address your Majesty’s concerns How much food is stored in the Ministry of Revenue?
Your Majesty The Ministry of Revenue is empty The Southern supplies have just been sent out We have only enough grain to last until the autumn harvest The rest of 708,350kg grain we do not dare to use Why? In a few days victims from Henan, Zhili and Shandong provinces will come to the capital
To beg for food When there is no food reserve there will be riots I have set up relief houses in Changping, Daxing and Shunyi to prevent victims disturbing the capital How to get food for the six provinces? Local officials raise by themselves? The people suffer so do the local officials and the court
Order Wang Gunagyu to wait for an opportunity to repair the embankment After the flooding I will punish them again And… I’ll say when I think of Dad Dad Dad Dad Dad Dad Mom Father Father Premier Ming I say My arm is hurt Why are you so hurry? A dog is chasing you?
Premier Ming His Majesty ordered once the river reports of the Lixiahe region arrived he would read them I, I… I dare not delay OK, come on Be careful Premier Ming Premier Suo Premier Ming Have you read the river reports from the office? I don’t have time for that His Majesty asked me to
Check the store of the eight storehouses in the capital I’ve been on the go all day What’s wrong? Officials in Lixiahe’s seven states all impeach Wang Guangyu They said that the Governor of the River had failed in his duty and that if the emperor did not punish him
The situation would be out of control And they said that if Wang Guangyu can be forgiven then the lower officials will do even worse Your Majesty Order him to redeem himself by good service But it won’t work After such a disaster it is not enough to make an example
Without one or two death Wang Guangyu is such a trash an insensible man You see it I’ll tell His Majesty I’ll go to Lihe in a moment As I said if everyone loves our country like you the country will be peaceful But I don’t think the officials in charge of flood control
It not kind Impeached Wang Guangyu They’re just passing the buck and blame him for everything that went wrong If they did something good they’ll use it to their advantage The river banks have been in tatters for decades Is it all Wang Guangyu’s fault? I don’t think so right? On the contrary
I want to help Wang Guangyu You want to help him? The Governor of the River is a main member of the court If we want to kill him, we should escort him to capital and after interrogations by the Ministry of Punishments Then the emperor will decide on it
River management is like a war If the general loses the battle will he be called back to confess and be guillotined When Wang Guangyu was guarding the river the court also rewarded him If the court beheads him for errors without asking any questions then no one will work for the court
In the future Errors? He almost pushed our country into a corner Now we are executing the military law Let me tell you We have to show the officials that this is what happens when they breach duties The court will be kind to them only if they are kind to the court
But the old Yellow River bank has never been repaired since our Qing dynasty Is that the truth? It is unreasonable to blame Wang Guangyu alone Your Majesty Your Majesty I think Wang Guangyu should be killed but there is a trouble If he is not guilty of venality and bear death
It’s not fair to behead him Your Majesty Officials and citizens of the seven states and counties in the Lixiahe area complained bitterly about Wang Guangyu If Wang had not been killed officials would have assumed that no matter how big their mistake is they will not be punished Your Majesty Your Majesty
And the people will think the court is ineffectual and there is no redress for wrongs The result is public anger Your Majesty If hundreds of thousands or even millions of victims get together the consequences can be unimaginable Your Majesty Even if Wang Guangyu is a saint he must be beheaded
You have a point I rule the country with righteousness but Wang Guangyu brings blame on oneself There is nothing officials can complain about Your Majesty is wise Let the Ministry of Punishments discuss it and publish his crimes Let all the people know the court killed him In a word
The more dramatical, the better Yes, your Majesty Yes, your Majesty Liang Jiugong sent him away Yes, your Majesty You are the only one who speaks for Wang Guangyu you are very chivalrous Your Majesty I have nothing to do with Wang Guangyu and it’s not chivalry In my humble opinion
There’s a law for killing If we behead him so easily in the future how will futurity appraise your Majesty? Keep talking They may say your Majesty has a way to kill someone but has no ability to regulate river Please pardon me for my speech In my humble opinion river regulation
Cannot be done in a short time At least we should give Wang Guangyu a chance to explain himself and it’s also a warning to posterity Killing people can not subside the flood Do you mean I made a mistake? I wouldn’t dare Your Majesty is the emperor of benevolence and justice But, Mingzhu
I’m glad you have the ancient officials bearing The sentencing of Wang Guangyu by the Ministry of Punishment will be delayed for several months If there’s an impeachment I’ll rebuke you and demote you But when the matter is settled I’ll make it up to you
And then I’ll give you a yellow mandarin jacket as a reward What do you think? Your Majesty Your Majesty I would like to accompany your Majesty to play the show You may rest assured Let the Minister of Works Ji Ruxi and the Ministry of Revenue assistant minister Yi Sang’a
To make an inspection tour in the seven states and counties of the Lixiahe area check out what Wang Guangyu has done Make sure not to miss any clue And I heard Wang Guangyu has always colluded with other officials and the riverbank have not been repaired Listen I will regulate the river
His death is not a matter You must check everything out and find out other corrupt officials Are you clear? Yes, your Majesty Get up Thanks Only the affairs of state are clear can the Yellow River be clear You stay back You go in front of me Your excellency, they are coming

Collect labor from nearby towns and counties Exactly, It’s not easy They’re all running out of here because of the disaster So are the 97,000 workers for all work? Can they transport the bluestones in the future and repair the riverbank? Well In my opinion The 97,000 workers are not enough Not enough Lord Wang
This adobe is not strong enough it has been broken here Where will the bluestone be put in the future? We’re going to add a full bluestone behind the riverbank Full bluestone? You Let me ask you something How much do you get paid for one day? Many people are needed every day? Your excellency

If we will spend all the money on 97,000 workers it will last to the thirtieth year of Kangxi’s reign Exactly Your excellency, you must be kidding how could it last till the thirtieth year of Kangxi’s reign After the flood the people will be back and we will have enough labor Yes Lord Ji

This is the joint report of Yi Sang’a and Ji Ruxi The news I heard was that Wang Guangyu used to ship a large portion of the money from the river back to the capital every year It wouldn’t take that much money to bribe all the capital officials would it?
Where did all the money go to? I checked his family’s assets and found five or six sets of large yards and a few stores What about the rest of the money? Your Majesty I really do not know Your Majesty wants to ask, I will investigate it The people in your department

Wang Guangyu is dead Said to have killed himself in fear of sin Even the River Governor’s residence was burned to the ground When does the officialdom become a rogue’s nest? Kill people and set fire The means is very direct Your Majesty According to this report he committed suicide I think
Wang Guangyu knows that he has failed to live up to you What he did to harm the people and mess with the state made him ashamed of himself and he was too ashamed to face the people So he killed himself Really? I thought we should find a clerk for him
To write an article to reflect and post it on the palace copy to awe all the officials and let all officials know that your Majesty has the virtue of cherishing life He should die for his crime But your Majesty doesn’t execute him immediately I happen to have
A candidate for the new river governor to tell you Tell Minister Suo to come in Yes, your Majesty Way to go You are afraid of offending people when you are asked to arrest them You are in charge of the Ministry of Finance but there is a shortage of grain
Where did all the grain in the eight warehouses of the capital go? Where did all the consumption go every year? Are you afraid to investigate or are you afraid of offending people? Got it I will give you the power to administer the Ministry of Justice and at last you
Have offended everyone at once See how you can hold this official position? In short, it is my incompetence Your Majesty Now the country is poor and the people are struggling and there is a war going on Your Majesty Greetings. Your Majesty Come in Please sit down Thanks Many things are coming together
Let Mingzhu preside to discuss Wang Guangyu’s crime The crime was not discussed but he… killed himself He died and even the River Governor’s residence was burned to the ground so how do the officials look at me? It is as if I force him to die River affairs
There is no one to preside over the matter Wang Guangyu died at the right time Your Majesty I think Wang Guangyu thought he failed to live up to you and harms people and messes up the state made him ashamed of himself and feel embarrassed to face you and all the people
This is why he killed himself I think we should find a clerk for him to write an article to reflect and post it on the palace copy to awe all the officials and to let all officials know that your Majesty has the virtue of cherishing life He should die for his crime
But you do not immediately put him to death Your Majesty Here has one candidate for the new river governor to tell you Master Jiangning is ordered to provide relief to the victims along the river you can not run away and can not risk going into the water to salvage property
Do not commit adultery and theft Violators will be beheaded Master Jiangning is ordered to provide relief to the victims along the river you can not run away Master Jiangning is ordered to provide relief to the victims along the river Your Excellency, please be careful Slow down a little bit Come on, come on
Come on Go to the rescue Yes, Sir
