Singing All Along

Episode 36

Concubine Yin wanted me to pass this to Your Majesty.

Concubine Yin also wanted me to pass along a message to Your Majesty.

What message?

The Kunyang and Hutuo River incidents are both proofs of the auspiciousness of the talisman.

The flying dragon is on the sky and sees only benefits for Master.

Liu Xiu will raise an army to catch the evil doers.

Liu has cultivated enough virtue to become the son of Heaven. (卯(Mao) and 金(Jin) when combined is the left side of 劉(liu))

25 A.D. The third year of the reign of Gengshi.

Liu Xiu has been named as Emperor and is performing reforms.

He publicly declared war on Emperor Gengshi.

Supreme ruler of heaven, Earth's gods,

Due to their concern for me, they bestowed a command for me to head a dynasty.

As other people's parents, I am not worthy to be one.

I tried to avoid it and not think about it.

But Xian announced that Wang Mang has usurped the throne so I made a determined effort to raise an army.

I defeated Wang Xun and Wang Yi at Kunyang.

Eliminated Wang Lang and Tong Ma at Hebei.

Pacified the whole world, and everyone benefited from it.

It is the Heaven's and Earth's intention, it is my fated destination from the start.

Long live, Your Majesty! - As stated in the prophesy: "Liu Xiu will raise an army to catch the evil doers.

Liu has cultivated enough virtue to become the son of Heaven." I was indeed like these words. - Everyone, rise!

Thank you, Your Majesty. - Over and over again, - The rewarding ceremony starts!

With my golden (unbrekable) words I now state, I will not delay nor hinder

or dare to not respectfully accept the important command by the Supreme Heaven.

Wang Liang is given the position Minister of Defense and title Marquis Wuqiang.

Wu Han is given the position Grand Marshal and the title Marquis Wuyang.

Conferment for the five commanding generals:

Jing Dan as Commanding General Biaoqi (swift horse)

Gai Yan to be Commanding General Huya (tiger's fangs),

Geng Yan to be Commanding General Jianwei (builder of might),

Zhu You as the Commanding General Jianyi (adviser),

and Feng Yi is conferred the title of Marquis Yangxia.

His Majesty promoted many officials after he ascended the throne.

Even a person like Wang Liang can become Da Sima!

Only Gongsun was measly given a title of Marquis Yangxia.

This is unfair!

That's right. It's not that we want to fight over the positions.

But we just feel that Gongsun was treated unfairly.

I understand everyone's concerns.

But His Majesty has a reason for doing so.

When His Majesty just came to Hebei to recruit troops, Geng Chun, Ren Guang, and Li Zhong, these Hebei generals,

During the time when His Majesty was at his weakest, they went around recruiting soldiers and purchasing horses.

Gengkuang and Gengyan also brought

the fifty thousand forces that allowed His Majesty to secure a victory.

And additionally brought with them Gai Yan and Jing Dan,

Hebei generals who are very good military strategists.

Afterwards, he was able to eliminate Tong Ma and Wang Lang.

We can say that the Hebei generals has provided glorious merits.

So when Wenshu was handing out promotions, he was doing so to reward those in Hebei.

This was to be expected.

But from the battle of Kunyang upto crossing into the north,

the Nanyang and Yinchuan generals who have continued to be with Liu Xiu

We've suffered together and come back from the dead together,

but were not given opportunities to rise.

Now His Majesty has become the son-in-law of Hebei.

Of course he would promote those from Hebei.

Do not speak nonsense. It is still chaos right now,

we must put in even more effort to support His Majesty.

Of course we must support His Majesty.

But if His Majesty were to name his Empress,

Concubine Yin is not here while Guo family is right next to us.

This will give the Guo family who resides in Hebei an advantage.

Now that Chang'an has become hell,

how can we save Chang'an?

You should not think of these things, but think of a way to leave Chang'an instead.

I will do my best to help you leave this city.

Because of Concubine Zhao's help, I and Ding jiejie were able to be safe.

I cannot abandon her.

Chang'an does not have many of Yin family's spies left.

Once the city wall's are breached, it will be difficult to protect you, let alone Concubine Zhao and her son.

Didn't Xing'er go back to the Yin estate? I'm sure that older brother will think of a plan, no need to worry so much.

I hope that the young sir will be able to save us sooner rather than later.

Big brother! How is Chang'an?

I'm afraid that the Han soldiers will not be able to hold out for much longer.

Then I will immediately take some troops with me to Chang'an to save older sister.

Halt!

How can you still be so rash?

Chang'an is surrounded by Chimei army.

I'm afraid that we cannot save her with just the soldiers from Yin family.

Then what should we do now?

XIng'er, go pick out three hundred soldiers from our troops.

Disguise them as Chimei soldiers, and taking advantage of the chaos,

think of a way to save your sister.

Alright.

But last time because of her gratitude to Concubine Zhao, she was unable to escape.

This time...I will definitely bring them back.

You must bring them back this time. If worst comes to worst,

you must bring her back even if you knock her unconcious.

Yes!

Congratulations Your Majesty, Madam Guo birthed a son. Both are healthy.

You've worked hard.

Husband, no, Your Majesty.

I thought that I would never be able to see you again.

Don't say such nonsense.

Your Majesty, you have no idea the scare we had.

Madam fainted from the pain multiple times.

The little prince wouldn't come out no matter what.

Madam said that the child was waiting for his father.

When this family of three meets for the first time, it must be perfect.

As expected, the little prince finally decided to come out when Your Majesty came.

It's just...the Madam had to suffer.

Yinluo, you talk too much.

I'm very well. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much.

Look at how much he resembles you.

He's calm and peaceful. He will be a filial son in the future.

I still have to rush back to the main camp at Haocheng to deal with official matters.

I will not be accompanying you two today.

I will come to see you another day.

Rest well. Take care of the child.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty has yet to bestow a name on this child.

Call him Liu Qiang.

It's one thing for him to come and go hastily, but he didn't even hold his son once.

What does he think you are?

His Majesty has the world in his heart so he has no time for love matters.

Let's hope so. I hope that he is not someone who forgets his roots.

He doesn't even cherish his own child.

His Majesty is not that kind of a person. Don't say such things Mother.

You've fallen head over heels for him!

I hope that he will not ignore the suffering you went through.

Sister, why do you make up so many excuses for him?

Do you know what he was doing while you were pregnant?

He was thinking of sending people to seek Yin Lihua.

That is also an undeniable reality.

They were originally husband and wife.

Even if the sky falls, how could he forget about his wife?

Did I do something wrong again?

He isn't willing to spend any time with me at all.

My poor child.

When I was in Chang'an, I met Yin Xing, Yin Lihua's younger brother.

It seems that Yin Lihua is also in Chang'an.

It's best if she dies in Chang'an, never to appear again.

Yin family sent someone to leave me a message.

In a few days, he'll think of something to help me escape from Chang'an.

You should come with me.

I will not go.

Chang'an can fall into chaos at any moment, it's too dangerous for you to be here.

But I cannot leave His Majesty.

Just like how Liu Xiu cannot leave you either.

Your Majesty.

Why did you drink so much again?

Concubine Zhao, leave us.

I must speak with her.

Leave!

Yin Lihua.

Yin Lihua!

Yin Lihua, your Liu Xiu has already been named as "Emperor" in Handan.

Guo Shantong has bore him a prince.

Sooner or later she will be named as his empress.

In the end, he still abandoned you. He doesn't want you anymore.

He has a child with another woman!

It doesn't matter to me. - You lie!

If you didn't care,

you wouldn't have this half-dead expression on your face.

Yin Lihua, if you had chosen me in the beginning,

perhaps neither of us would have fallen to such a state.

You're drunk! Look at the nonsense you're saying right now!

Look at yourself! What sort of royal dignity and pride do you have left?

Dignity and pride? I lost that a long time ago!

Presently...who still cares about my dignity and pride?

I'm not drunk. Everything I've said is the truth.

Liu Xiu...go die. Go die!

I should have killed you instead! I should have killed you!

This is the sword my mother gifted you.

I used this sword once to kill Wang Xun who forced my parents to their deaths.

And so?

You want to use this to kill me now?

I don't mind having to live with you up until all this time.

This way, you and I, as well as the citizens of Chang'an,

we are safe at least!

Then go ahead. If I can die by your hand,

I have no regrets.

Tomorrow, I will leave for Luoyang immediately.

I will fight to the death with Zhuwei.

Gongsun, you must be careful on the journey to Luoyang. I will await your good news.

I will give you my greetings upon my return so as not to waste your generosity.

How nice it is for you have Dingrou by your side.

You will live and die together, never to be apart.

But I...cannot go find Lihua.

I can only hope that she is safe in Chang'an.

Your Majesty.

When Lihua left Chang City, she left a letter.

I've hidden it for her.

I was going to give this to you at the appropriate time.

Lihua...

When she left,

she already made up her mind to cut off all ties with me.

In order to fulfill Your Majesty's dreams,

Lihua made this sacrifice.

Your Majesty, there is one more matter

that I have never told anyone.

What is it?

Lihua...once...

She was once pregnant with Your Majesty's child.

What did you just say?

Lihua was once pregnant with Your Majesty's child.

But she had miscarriage when she fell into the icy river.

The madam has old wounds,
