(Xianyang)
This is the imperial order.
Crown Prince's wife and son should enter
the palace immediately.
Yes.
Yes,
You.
What is your name?
I'm Lord Yangquan, Mi Chen.
All right.
I'll remember you.
Your Majesty.
Prince Xi would like to see you.
Let him in.
Yes.
Prince Xi is already here.
You still won't follow my wishes?
My queen.
Greetings, Your Majesties.
I'm back.
It's good that you're back.
All right, rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Crown Prince.
It's been a long journey.
When I came back,
I saw two people who want to enter
the palace as well,
so I brought them in.
Who are they?
Your Majesty,
they are
Crown Prince's wife and son.
You brought them in?
They're waiting outside right now.
I'll call them in.
Wait.
You can't bring a sword
to see His Majesty.
This is my sword.
Let that child bring his sword in.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Hurry, take a bow
to His and Her Majesties.
Zheng!
Greetings from Crown Prince's son,
Ying Zheng,
Your Majesties.
This child looks formidable
with an extraordinary aura of a hero.
Rise.
Yes.
Come here.
Let me see that.
You like swords?
Yes.
You've been training on
how to use a sword?
Mr. Shen taught me.
Father, he was the one you sent with me
to Handan,
Shen Yue.
Grandfather, do you have a sword?
Yes.
That is the Lulu Sword?
How do you know?
Mr. Shen taught me.
The Lulu Sword is the sword
of the King of Qin.
Grandfather, you're the King of Qin.
This must the Lulu Sword.
Pull it out and take a look.
Yes.
How impetuous!
Zheng, don't be rude!
Put the sword back!
Which other swords do you know?
Ganjiang, Moye,
Tai'e, Longyuan,
Gongbu, Zhanlu,
Juque, Yuchang,
Chunjun, Shengxie.
These are all famous sword passed down
from generations to generations.
Well said.
Aside from knowing swords,
did you also study?
Legalism, Mohism, Militarism,
Confucianism,
Taoism, School of Agrarianism,
School of Diplomacy, School of
Naturalist. I studied them all.
Let me hear a few lines.
"If the country is rich,
but is administered as if it were poor,
then it is said to be doubly rich,
and the doubly rich are strong.
If the country is poor,
but is administered
as if it were rich,
it is said to be doubly poor,
and the doubly poor are weak.
That's from the "Book of Lord Shang".
Exactly.
Do you know what it means?
If a nation is very rich and strong,
yet it's managed like a poor nation,
it would become even richer.
The nation would become more powerful.
If a nation is poor,
yet it's managed like a rich nation,
It would become even poorer.
The nation would become weaker.
Great. This child is amazing.
He's better than all of you.
That's how Qin's men are!
All these years,
you've suffered in Handan.
Sit down.
Zheng.
You've suffered in Handan.
You've made a contribution
to our nation.
What do you want?
I'll give it to you as a reward.
I don't want any rewards.
Please give it to mother.
Mother has suffered a lot.
All right. I'll reward both of you.
I'll reward you
and your mother too.
I know
that you've suffered a lot in Zhao.
Today, I'll reward you first.
I'll give this sword
to you.
Your Majesty.
You can't.
My queen.
I like this child.
He's my grandson.
You must treat him well.
Yes.
Take it.
Are you really giving it to me?
Thank you, Your Majesty.
It's a shame
that we didn't bring you back sooner.
If the late king saw you,
he'd surely like you.
Zichu.
You got lucky thanks to your son.
Take them home.
It's time for His Majesty to rest.
Yes.
Hello, Grand Uncle.
Greetings, Madam,
Prince Chengjiao.
There's no need for courtesy.
Grand Uncle.
Good boy.
Come, take Chengjiao to play over there.
Yes,
Chengjiao.
Let's go.
Walk slowly.
What's the matter?
Huayang, look.
Should I prepare some gifts
and personally go to
Crown Prince's Manor?
Why?
According to your wishes,
I blocked Zhao Ji and her son
at the gate of Xianyang.
After all,
Zichu is already Crown Prince of Qin.
For the sake of our clan,
there's no need
to go against Crown Prince, isn't it?
That makes sense.
You.
Focus on the state's affairs,
and assist His Majesty.
Don't spend your time thinking
about these things.
Yes,
His Majesty has already agreed
to make you the Chancellor.
Thank you, Huayang.
Master.
Lord Yangquan's Manor's has already
started celebrating.
They say that once the king officially
assumes his position,
Lord Yangquan
would be appointed as Chancellor.
Go home first.
Yes.
Madam has arrived.
Madam wants to personally thank you.
Report!
Crown Prince, Madam.
Lord Yangquan is here.
Please let him in.
Yes.
Lord Yangquan.
Prince Zheng.
Lord Yangquan, why are you here?
I especially came today
to send my greetings
to Crown Prince and his wife
and to you as well.
A few days ago,
you even blocked me and my mother
outside Xianyang's gate
and wouldn't let us in.
Why did you think of personally
paying us a visit today?
That was a few days ago.
Today is a different day.
Are Qin's officials
rude at first then deferential
afterwards like you, Lord Yangquan,
incapable of making up their minds?
I'm afraid that
you don't know who I am yet.
Tell me then.
I'm a Feudal Lord.
The brother-in-law of His Majesty.
The queen's brother.
So you got your position
by relying on your sister.
Little boy.
Don't think
that you can act so impetuously
because you're Crown Prince's son.
Let me tell you.
Soon,
I'll become the Chancellor of Qin.
Even Crown Prince
wouldn't dare to speak to me this way.
You're not the Chancellor yet,
and you're already claiming to be him.
It's my first time to see
such a thick-skinned person.
Besides, someone like you
wants to be the Chancellor of Qin?
You're a bastard.
A bastard from Zhao.
What did you say?
Don't run away!
How many years has it been
since we gathered together?
Crown Prince, Madam.
Bad news.
It's regarding Prince Zheng.
What happened to him?
Prince Zheng was practicing
the sword in the yard,
and he had a conflict
with Lord Yangquan.
He wants to kill Lord Yangquan
with his sword.
I'll go and take a look.
I'll go.
He only listens to me.
You're not familiar
with the affairs here.
I should go.
This child has run wild all these years.
His father must discipline him.
Excuse me first.
Lv Buwei.
You're so heartless.
To save your own life
and for the sake of prosperity,
you left me and Zheng to die.
You didn't expect this, right?
We came back to Xiangyang alive.
Madam, listen to me.
Back then, Crown Prince's life
was in danger.
There was no foolproof plan indeed.
That's why I took a risk.
But with how things things out now,
it was a good plan.
If I don't run,
-should I wait for you to kill me?
-Lord Yangquan!
Don't run if you have the guts!
Crown Prince!
Stop!
Move!
Ying Zheng, do you want to
cause the demise of our entire family?
Qin's law won't allow you
to kill for no reason.
Put your sword away.
All right, Crown Prince. I'll get going.
Lord Yangquan.
Crown Prince.
You must strictly discipline this child.
Otherwise, it could get serious.
A lot of people are coveting
the position of Crown Prince.
Prince Xi, who came into the city with you,
stabbed Crown Prince
with the sword back then
to compete
for the Crown Prince's position,
and he was exiled to the border.
Such a thing happened?
His Majesty has a gentle temperament.
Her Majesty has
a lot of tricks up her sleeves.
Her power runs deep and strong in Qin.
She wants Crown Prince to listen
to everything she says.
She's the one who won't allow you
to return to Xianyang.
Zheng and I
were bullied in Zhao.
Now that we're back in Qin,
we're still being bullied.
From now on,
I definitely won't let Zheng
suffer any longer.
If that queen
dares to do anything to us,
I definitely won't play nice.
For Prince Zheng and your sakes,
don't offend the queen.
No matter what happened,
aside from Crown Prince,
you're the only person
whom Zheng and I know in Xianyang.
You were the one who gave me
to Crown Prince before.
If something happens to me and Zheng,
you can't just sit back and do nothing.
Yes.
From now on, don't mention
the past anymore.
His Majesty didn't give you this sword
to kill people.
Don't you understand the purpose
of the King of Qin's sword?
You're right,
but you're not qualified
to discipline me.
And I don't want to
hear your lecture either.
What happened with Zheng?
It's fine now.
Was it his fault?
It wasn't.
It's just that...
It's just that Zheng
and I are so distant with each other.
It seems like he's still not willing
to forgive me.
Don't blame him.
That child
never had your love
and protection growing up.
He was bullied in Zhao daily.
He's still feeling bad about that.
Mr. Lv.
From now on,
please teach Zheng well.
Are you Mr. Lv?
You still remember me, my lord?
I don't quite remember
what you look like,
but I remember your tricks
very well.
What does that mean?
Back then,
In order to ensure that my father
can escape to Xianyang,
you left me and my mother in Handan.
It's just been six years.
Have you forgotten all about it?
I couldn't forget that.
If you were in my position,
what would you have done?
I was very young back then.
However, thinking back now,
it was an urgent situation indeed.
If I were you,
perhaps I would have done
the same thing.
I've wronged you. Please forgive me.
There's no need for that.
You saved me,
and you saved my father.
Without your cunning tricks,
he wouldn't be the Crown Prince
of Qin today,
and I also wouldn't be able
to return to Qin.
You're very magnanimous.
What are you planning to do today?
Mr. Shen.
I brought you back to Qin.
If Mr. Shen is watching us,
he'd be able to rest in peace.
Still no news about the battle with Yan?
Not yet.
In the next day or two,
if there's any news
about the battle with Yan,
report it to me immediately.
This is an important matter.
Do not delay.
Yes.
Up ahead
should be the inn where the Chancellor
of Zhao is staying.
Chancellor.
Why is Yan's envoy on
Crown Prince of Qin's horse carriage?
Did Crown Prince of Qin pick up
Yan's envoy to come to Xianyang?
(Yan's Grand Mentor, Jv Wu)
What a coincidence, Lord Pingyuan.
Crown Prince.
Lord Pingyuan, your journey to Qin
must have been long and hard.
If you need anything,
just tell the inn's manager.
You're too kind.
This time, I came
to participate in Qin's
National Funeral Ceremony.
Also,
there another very important matter.
I'm representing my king for
the peace talks with the King of Qin.
I hope you'd arrange for me
to meet the King of Qin
as soon as you can, Crown Prince.
After the National Funeral Ceremony,
I'll immediately arrange for you
to meet my king, Lord Pingyuan.
Thank you, Crown Prince.
I bid my leave.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
I'll tour you around
other places in Xianyang.
Father.
Envoys from the Six Nations of Shandong
are already in Xianyang.
We can hold the funeral now.
Let the nation mourn.
Hold the National Funeral Ceremony.
Yes.
(Zhangtai)
(Ying)
Everyone.
The late king Ying Ji's contributions
were unmatched.
His posthumous name is Zhaoxiang.

"As rites and laws were fixed
in accordance with what was opportune,
regulations and orders
were all expedient,
and weapons, armor, implements
and equipment were all practical.
Therefore, I say,
'There is more than one way
to govern the world,
there is no necessity
to imitate antiquity'"
Mr. Lv.
My lord.
Mr. Lv, you're late.
It's not Mao time yet, why am I late?
We agreed to meet at the time of Mao,
which begins at 5 a.m.,
so I came before the end of Yin time,
around 4:45 a.m.
Why did you do that?
Zhuang Zi said,
"Those who go to the countryside
only need to prepare three meals,
then they'd go home
with a full stomach.
Those who want to go far in their life
need to prepare their meals beforehand,
and bring three-months worth of meals."
I want to go far in life.
How would I dare to slack off?
You want to go far in life?
May I ask what is your ambition?
You're my teacher.
I'll ask you first.
What is your ambition?
In this lifetime,
I only wish to do my best
to assist a good king,
so that Qin can rule the world,
and the six states would submit to it.
If I can help Qin unify the states,
I can die without any regrets.
In that case,
how can the position
of Crown Prince Mentor fulfill
your great ambition?
You should be the Chancellor of Qin.
What about your ambition, my lord?
I want to do everything I can
to let everyone in the world
live peacefully.
Have you ever thought
about how to let that happen?
Unify the six states.
Only by unifying all the states
would the battles stop.
No wife or child would be abandoned,
and no one would suffer
and be in misery.
(Capital of Zhao, Handan)
A great Victory for Haoyi!
General Lian Po defeats the Yan army!
A great Victory for Haoyi!
General Lian Po defeats the Yan army!
Great.
The old general defeated
the Yan army badly,
captured and killed Li Fu,
and glorified Zhao!
Tell me about what happened
during battle in detail.
How did our army win?
Report!
Your Majesty,
our scout came in haste to report
a great victory in Daidi.
General Yue Sheng
defeated the 200,000 Yan army
who attacked Daidi,
and captured Yan's General Qing Qin.
It's a major victory for us.
Hurry, let me see it.
Yan overestimated their capability.
Our Zhao powerful army defeated them
with fewer troops than theirs.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
Send someone
to inform our Chancellor in Yan
the news of our great victory.
Command him to return at once.
Don't form an alliance with Qin.
Yes.
(Capital of Qin, Xianyang)
Crown Prince,
Crown Prince Mentor have arrived.
-Father.
-Greetings, Your Majesty.
Crown Prince Mentor, you're here too.
Yes.
He happened to be with me.
He can help come up with a plan.
Take a look at this first.
Lian Po greatly defeated Li Fu's army.
We cannot
let Lord Pingyuan know about this.
Right.
Father.
Who sent this news?
Meng Ao's scout in Haoyi.
I'll inform Top General right away
to keep this a secret.
Also, we need to tighten the security
in all the gates of Xianyang
to prevent the news from coming in.
I bid my leave.
Crown Prince, there's no rush.
Mother.
We should keep this a secret indeed,
but if we do that,
we must do it meticulously.
Mother, you mean
The Supervisor of Attendants,
Yao Lu, is here.
Your Majesties.
Lock up
the servants and maids
in this chamber at once.
Without my orders,
don't release them,
and don't let them interact with anyone.
Yes.
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.
We didn't make any mistakes.
We didn't make any mistakes.
Guards!
Your Majesty.
Take them away.
Stand up, let's go.
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.
Crown Prince, go to Meng Ao.
Also, tell the Xianyang magistrate
to guard the city gate tightly.
Those who don't speak with Qin's accent
aren't allowed to enter the city.
Yes.
As for Lord Pingyuan,
tell him
that Yan's envoy is requesting Qin
to send troops to help them
battle with Zhao.
Whether or not Qin agrees
would depend on his decision.
All right, I know what to do.
I bid my leave.
Go.
Her Majesty's decisiveness
is comparable to a man's.
It's precisely for that reason
that if you don't have
Her Majesty's support,
it would be difficult for you
to become the Chancellor.
In that case,
if I don't agree
to give six cities to Qin,
you would send troops
to help Yan battle with Zhao.
Zhao and Yan are currently in battle.
We don't want to take advantage.
We just want to get back
the six cities
that originally belonged to Qin.
Do you think I'm a child?
You say a few words, and you want me
give to give six cities.
Six cities!
It doesn't matter
if you don't believe me.
Last night, Top General Meng Ao
even told me
that he doesn't want you to agree
to His Majesty's condition.
That way,
Qin's warriors can go to battle.
You're also aware.
In recent years,
Qin never mobilized its troops.
And Qin's warriors
can only go to battle
in order to earn merits and obtain
a title of nobility.

to return to Xianyang.
Zheng and I
were bullied in Zhao.
Now that we're back in Qin,
we're still being bullied.
From now on,
I definitely won't let Zheng
suffer any longer.
If that queen
dares to do anything to us,
I definitely won't play nice.
For Prince Zheng and your sakes,
don't offend the queen.
No matter what happened,
aside from Crown Prince,
you're the only person
whom Zheng and I know in Xianyang.
You were the one who gave me
to Crown Prince before.
If something happens to me and Zheng,
you can't just sit back and do nothing.
Yes.
From now on, don't mention
the past anymore.
His Majesty didn't give you this sword
to kill people.
Don't you understand the purpose
of the King of Qin's sword?
You're right,
but you're not qualified
to discipline me.
And I don't want to
hear your lecture either.
What happened with Zheng?
It's fine now.
Was it his fault?
It wasn't.
It's just that...
It's just that Zheng
and I are so distant with each other.
It seems like he's still not willing
to forgive me.
Don't blame him.
That child
never had your love
and protection growing up.
He was bullied in Zhao daily.
He's still feeling bad about that.
Mr. Lv.
From now on,
please teach Zheng well.
Are you Mr. Lv?
You still remember me, my lord?
I don't quite remember
what you look like,
but I remember your tricks
very well.
What does that mean?
Back then,
In order to ensure that my father
can escape to Xianyang,
you left me and my mother in Handan.
It's just been six years.
Have you forgotten all about it?
I couldn't forget that.
If you were in my position,
what would you have done?
I was very young back then.
However, thinking back now,
it was an urgent situation indeed.
If I were you,
perhaps I would have done
the same thing.
I've wronged you. Please forgive me.
There's no need for that.
You saved me,
and you saved my father.
Without your cunning tricks,
he wouldn't be the Crown Prince
of Qin today,
and I also wouldn't be able
to return to Qin.
You're very magnanimous.
What are you planning to do today?
Mr. Shen.
I brought you back to Qin.
If Mr. Shen is watching us,
he'd be able to rest in peace.
Still no news about the battle with Yan?
Not yet.
In the next day or two,
if there's any news
about the battle with Yan,
report it to me immediately.
This is an important matter.
Do not delay.
Yes.
Up ahead
should be the inn where the Chancellor
of Zhao is staying.
Chancellor.
Why is Yan's envoy on
Crown Prince of Qin's horse carriage?
Did Crown Prince of Qin pick up
Yan's envoy to come to Xianyang?
(Yan's Grand Mentor, Jv Wu)
What a coincidence, Lord Pingyuan.
Crown Prince.
Lord Pingyuan, your journey to Qin
must have been long and hard.
If you need anything,
just tell the inn's manager.
You're too kind.
This time, I came
to participate in Qin's
National Funeral Ceremony.
Also,
there another very important matter.
I'm representing my king for
the peace talks with the King of Qin.
I hope you'd arrange for me
to meet the King of Qin
as soon as you can, Crown Prince.
After the National Funeral Ceremony,
I'll immediately arrange for you
to meet my king, Lord Pingyuan.
Thank you, Crown Prince.
I bid my leave.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
I'll tour you around
other places in Xianyang.
Father.
Envoys from the Six Nations of Shandong
are already in Xianyang.
We can hold the funeral now.
Let the nation mourn.
Hold the National Funeral Ceremony.
Yes.

"As rites and laws were fixed
in accordance with what was opportune,
regulations and orders
were all expedient,
and weapons, armor, implements
and equipment were all practical.
Therefore, I say,
'There is more than one way
to govern the world,
there is no necessity
to imitate antiquity'"
Mr. Lv.
My lord.
Mr. Lv, you're late.
It's not Mao time yet, why am I late?
We agreed to meet at the time of Mao,
which begins at 5 a.m.,
so I came before the end of Yin time,
around 4:45 a.m.
Why did you do that?
Zhuang Zi said,
"Those who go to the countryside
only need to prepare three meals,
then they'd go home
with a full stomach.
Those who want to go far in their life
need to prepare their meals beforehand,
and bring three-months worth of meals."
I want to go far in life.
How would I dare to slack off?
You want to go far in life?
May I ask what is your ambition?
You're my teacher.
I'll ask you first.
What is your ambition?
In this lifetime,
I only wish to do my best
to assist a good king,
so that Qin can rule the world,
and the six states would submit to it.
If I can help Qin unify the states,
I can die without any regrets.
In that case,
how can the position
of Crown Prince Mentor fulfill
your great ambition?
You should be the Chancellor of Qin.
What about your ambition, my lord?
I want to do everything I can
to let everyone in the world
live peacefully.
Have you ever thought
about how to let that happen?
Unify the six states.
Only by unifying all the states
would the battles stop.
No wife or child would be abandoned,
and no one would suffer
and be in misery.
(Capital of Zhao, Handan)
A great Victory for Haoyi!
General Lian Po defeats the Yan army!
A great Victory for Haoyi!
General Lian Po defeats the Yan army!
Great.
The old general defeated
the Yan army badly,
captured and killed Li Fu,
and glorified Zhao!
Tell me about what happened
during battle in detail.
How did our army win?
Report!
Your Majesty,
our scout came in haste to report
a great victory in Daidi.
General Yue Sheng
defeated the 200,000 Yan army
who attacked Daidi,
and captured Yan's General Qing Qin.
It's a major victory for us.
Hurry, let me see it.
Yan overestimated their capability.
Our Zhao powerful army defeated them
with fewer troops than theirs.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
Send someone
to inform our Chancellor in Yan
the news of our great victory.
Command him to return at once.
Don't form an alliance with Qin.
Yes.
(Capital of Qin, Xianyang)
Crown Prince,
Crown Prince Mentor have arrived.
-Father.
-Greetings, Your Majesty.
Crown Prince Mentor, you're here too.
Yes.
He happened to be with me.
He can help come up with a plan.
Take a look at this first.
Lian Po greatly defeated Li Fu's army.
We cannot
let Lord Pingyuan know about this.
Right.
Father.
Who sent this news?
Meng Ao's scout in Haoyi.
I'll inform Top General right away
to keep this a secret.
Also, we need to tighten the security
in all the gates of Xianyang
to prevent the news from coming in.
I bid my leave.
Crown Prince, there's no rush.
Mother.
We should keep this a secret indeed,
but if we do that,
we must do it meticulously.
Mother, you mean
The Supervisor of Attendants,
Yao Lu, is here.
Your Majesties.
Lock up
the servants and maids
in this chamber at once.
Without my orders,
don't release them,
and don't let them interact with anyone.
Yes.
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.
We didn't make any mistakes.
We didn't make any mistakes.
Guards!
Your Majesty.
Take them away.
Stand up, let's go.
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.
Crown Prince, go to Meng Ao.
Also, tell the Xianyang magistrate
to guard the city gate tightly.
Those who don't speak with Qin's accent
aren't allowed to enter the city.
Yes.
As for Lord Pingyuan,
tell him
that Yan's envoy is requesting Qin
to send troops to help them
battle with Zhao.
Whether or not Qin agrees
would depend on his decision.
All right, I know what to do.
I bid my leave.
Go.
Her Majesty's decisiveness
is comparable to a man's.
It's precisely for that reason
that if you don't have
Her Majesty's support,
it would be difficult for you
to become the Chancellor.
In that case,
if I don't agree
to give six cities to Qin,
you would send troops
to help Yan battle with Zhao.
Zhao and Yan are currently in battle.
We don't want to take advantage.
We just want to get back
the six cities
that originally belonged to Qin.
Do you think I'm a child?
You say a few words, and you want me
give to give six cities.
Six cities!
It doesn't matter
if you don't believe me.
Last night, Top General Meng Ao
even told me
that he doesn't want you to agree
to His Majesty's condition.
That way,
Qin's warriors can go to battle.
You're also aware.
In recent years,
Qin never mobilized its troops.
And Qin's warriors
can only go to battle
in order to earn merits and obtain
a title of nobility.
