The Flowers Fly All over the Sky Episode 1

The flowers fall and fly all over the sky;

Various flowers bloom in the assorted-flower garden.

Various flowers contend in beauty forever

while one blossom fades after another.

The drizzly rain makes sound of pitter-patter,

moistening all the flowers so they will never wither.

The horse hoofs clatter while the flowers remain on the branches.

It's hard times of armored horses and shining spears.

General Hua, General Hua! General Hua!

Does this nursery rhyme tell about

the Hua Family, Xiao Family,

Xie Family and Sima Family?

They are four big families that

are extremely rich.

It's a pity that the Xiao Family declined.

It is said that a Taoist wrote this poem back then.

However, the deep meaning of it is unknown.

Hua Mantian.

Hyah!

General Hua is so awe-inspiring.

Exactly.

My greetings to you, Your Highness Princess.

Hua Mantian, you are finally back.

I especially asked His Majesty to permit me

to leave the palace to welcome you.

While you are away,

I have been praying for you every day,

hoping that you can return safely.

You don't know how much I missed you.

Thank you, Your Highness, for your care.

How about you?

Did you ever miss me while you were out there?

Your Highness,

His Majesty is waiting for me to report this to him.

I dare not delay even a bit.

Fine. Then let's go back to the palace.

When you get enough rest after a while,

you must take part in the hunting in the paddock.

I want you to stay around and accompany me by then.

Well...

So it's a deal.

General Hua.

GO.

General Hua.

General Hua is so imposing!

General Hua!

General Hua!

General Hua!

The rebellious bandits cause trouble on the frontier all year round,

disturbing the common people.

They have been my mortal malady all the time.

Nonetheless, I didn't expect that

it only took you a few months

to wipe all of them out.

You really did a great job, General Hua.

You flattered me, Your Majesty.

It is my duty to serve our state.

Minister Hua.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I will grant you a handsome reward.

General Hua has rendered such meritorious service

at such a young age.

As his father,

your contributions can't be left unrecognized.

Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty.

General Hua,

I will make you Grand General Defending the State.

Thank you for your generous rewards, Your Majesty.

In addition to promotion in rank,

I will also grant you 1,000 acres of fertile land, 10,000 taels of gold,

500 dippers of east pearls and 1,000 bolts of golden brocade.

Your Majesty.

The war has been plaguing the frontier year in, year out.

The natural and man-made disasters have made the situation worse.

The common people there are living in hardship.

If Your Majesty really intends to reward me,

I beg Your Majesty to change my rewards into money and food

and send them to the distressed area in the name of the imperial court

to help the poverty-stricken people there.

I have been right about you.

I will fulfill your wish

and send all rewards that were meant to give you

to people in the distressed area.

On behalf of the populace of the distressed area,

I offer my thanks to you, Your Majesty.

Long live the emperor!

Rise to your feet.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, I have a memorial to be submitted.

Present it now.

Your Majesty,

regarding the case of Xie Youdao,

who harbored the son of the traitor Xiao

and colluded with the rebellious bandits attempting to commit treason,

I have found conclusive evidence after thorough investigations.

How will Your Majesty punish Xie Youdao and his family?

Please disclose your intentions concerning this, Your Majesty.

Damn, Xie Youdao!

He betrayed me and turned against me.

He not only harbored the son of the traitor Xiao,

but also colluded with the rebellious bandits conspiring against the state.

How treacherous he has been!

I have been trusting him wrongly

over all these years.

Deputy Commander Sima.

At your service, Your Majesty.

Lead your troops to the Xie Family now.

Have Xie Keyuan executed on the spot.

Throw all the male members of the Xie Family into the death cells.

Sell all the female members of the Xie Family to be slaves.

Your Majesty, the whole Xie clan is skilled in martial arts.

I am afraid that to save Xie Keyuan's life,

they will fight desperately.

How about this?

May Your Majesty dispatch General Hua to go with me?

Sounds good.

General Hua.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The Xie clan turned against me regardless my kindness to them.

From now on, I will depend on your Hua Family to have my back.

The imperial city needs to be protected.

Now I make you Commander-in-chief of the imperial guards.

Together with Deputy Commander Sima,

you shall lead the troops to go to the Xie's Mansion.

Your Majesty,

General Xie has always been loyal to you and kind to the people.

He has done great deeds of merit in battle.

It's impossible for him to have had any evil intentions.

He must have been framed up

by someone.

I would like to exchange my rank that you granted me

for a chance enabling General Xie to live on.

Your Majesty, please find out the truth about this case.

Well, the Ministry of Justice has cleared up the case.

You just accept my edict!

Your Majesty.

Mantian,

if someone else is sent to the Xie's Mansion,

it will make things worse.

You'd better go there yourself.

My lady, now General Hua is back after winning the victory.

So you need not to keep thinking about him anymore.

Right. I think he will come to visit you, my lady,

when he comes back to the city to make a report.

Why do you know I have kept thinking about Hua Mantian?

We just know.

My lady, my lady.

General Hua is here.

But he brought a lot of imperial guards with him.

Madame has gone out.

She asked you to join her.

Mantian,

why have you brought so many people to our mansion?

General Hua, the Xie Family is all here.

You can read out the imperial edict now.

Imperial edict?

The Xie Family, accept the imperial edict!

In obedience to the mandate of heaven,

His Majesty issued this edict:

Xie Youdao, the Grand General Reviving the State,

disobeyed and had evil intent against His Majesty,

harbored the disloyal courtier Xiao's son Xie Keyuan

as well as colluded with the rebellious bandits

attempting to commit treason.

Through investigation, conclusive evidence has been found.

Hereby, I sentence Xie Keyuan to be executed on the spot forthwith.

It's impossible.

How can my son Xie Keyuan

be the son of the disloyal courtier Xiao?

There must be a misunderstanding.

I beg His Majesty to find out the truth.

Mrs. Xie,

are you questioning His Majesty?

No, I am not, but I can't accept this.

When my husband comes back,

he will definitely seek justice for our son.

Mrs. Xie,

General Xie has been dismissed
