00:00What kind of government is this?
00:02A corrupt Qing government!
00:04We must overthrow this authoritarian government!
00:08I, Sun Wen, will never be its citizen!
00:10Get down!
00:12So we must fight!
00:14We must revolutionize!
00:16Why are you hitting people?
00:18Don't hit people!
00:20Why are you hitting people?
00:22Why are you hitting people?
00:24This corrupt government!
00:26Why are you hitting people?
00:28Get out of the way!
00:30We must overthrow this incompetent government!
00:36Get out of the way!
00:38Comrades!
00:40Comrades!
00:42The people are not convinced!
00:46Go!
00:48Go!
00:50You have the power, I know.
00:55You have the power, I know.
00:59You can kill me, I know.
01:01But I still want to revolutionize!
01:15The government has lost its power.
01:18Not only did it lose 20,000 silver dollars,
01:21it also gave Taiwan to the Japanese pirates!
01:28This is intolerable!
01:51This is intolerable!
02:21This is intolerable!
02:51This is intolerable!
03:21This is intolerable!
03:43If you don't kill me,
03:48I will cut this braid.
03:52Brother, are you looking for death?
03:54If you want to stay, stay. If you want to leave, leave.
04:18Kill him! Kill him!
04:22Kill our officials!
04:46Li Hongzhang is to be held accountable...
04:49Li Hongzhang is naturally responsible for this.
04:51But I think that
04:54putting all the great responsibility
04:56on Li Hongzhang alone
05:00is, I'm afraid, not fair.
05:07All of you
05:09are my trusted disciples.
05:13I will make it clear to you today.
05:16Between us and Li Hongzhang,
05:19it's definitely not about the same-sex marriage.
05:23It's also not about power struggle.
05:26It's about the prosperity of the country and the survival of the country.
05:29If we don't stand up for it, who else will?
05:34Moreover, it's a gift from heaven.
05:39If we want to fight, let's destroy it.
05:43Let it never rise again.
05:47Only after we destroy Li Hongzhang,
05:51will we be able to speak up.
05:55Only then will His Majesty be able to do his job.
05:59Only then will we be able to save the country from the roots.
06:11Kang Youwei asks to see you.
06:13Tell him I don't want to see him.
06:16Okay.
06:22Mr. Nanhai, my lord has said
06:24that no matter what the result is, just ask for approval of the transfer.
06:28There's no need for you to go directly to him.
06:30Please inform him again that
06:32this letter of proposal cannot reach the heavens
06:36without the approval of Master Weng.
06:37I heard that the Juzi Sect is currently in the ward of the Imperial Office
06:40asking for submissions.
06:42Mr. Nanhai.
06:44Mr. Nanhai, why do you want to go so far?
06:47Old man, I don't want to go so far just because I'm willing to do so.
06:53Besides, I'm afraid that there's no way to go further than Master Weng's way.
07:00As long as you can go further, it's close.
07:03If you can't go further, it's also far.
07:05I'm sorry, Mr. Nanhai.
07:15Mr. Nanhai, Mr. Nanhai, I've finally found you.
07:21Why are you here?
07:22The disciples are so worried.
07:24Everything in Japan has been approved.
07:26The Juzi have all gone to the Censorate.
07:28I'm afraid that something will happen.
07:30The disciples are so worried. Please give it a try.
07:33What should we do?
07:38Give it a try?
07:42Let's go.
07:43All right.
07:44It's better to die than to live.
07:51It's better to die than to live.
07:54I, Li Hongzhang,
07:56I, Li Hongzhang,
07:58ask for a peace treaty.
08:00ask for a peace treaty.
08:02Return Taiwan to me.
08:03Return Taiwan to me.
08:05I, Li Hongzhang,
08:07Brothers,
08:10My teacher, Kang Nanhai, is here.
08:12Please listen to my teacher.
08:13Listen to Mr. Kang.
08:15Look.
08:19Brothers,
08:21The days of the kingdom are not far away.
08:25But the court has not yet made a decision.
08:31Today,
08:33More than 1,300 Juzi from 18 provinces
08:36gather here
08:38to save the kingdom.
08:41We have decided to submit a petition.
08:49I have spent one day and two nights
08:53to write this petition.
08:58It has more than 18,000 words.
09:03I am not talented.
09:05I don't dare to ask for help.
09:09But I dare to say
09:11these 18,000 words
09:13are my blood and sweat.
09:17I only hope
09:19that it can bring back a prosperous Qing Dynasty.
09:24Brothers,
09:26The country is in danger.
09:28If we don't act now,
09:30and announce the state affairs,
09:32the shame of officials
09:34will only be a prelude to the end of the country.
09:37Our Qing Dynasty
09:39will really be over.
09:45For this reason,
09:47I only ask for the protection of the people.
09:51I beg His Majesty
09:53to take the initiative to save the country.
09:58Submit a petition to save the country.
10:02The capital will be the foundation of the country.
10:06The army will be the strength of the country.
10:09The reformation will be the will of the country.
10:13Good.
10:18Brothers,
10:19If you agree,
10:21please sign this petition.
10:26Good.
10:56Are you Mr. Tang Youwei?
11:00Yes, I am.
11:02Please rise.
11:08If you trust me,
11:10I'm willing to sign this petition.
11:16Thank you, Your Excellency.
11:18I heard that you are a good man.
11:21I'm willing to sign this petition.
11:25Thank you, Your Excellency.
11:26I heard that you have written two books on reformation.
11:29I have written a book on reformation.
11:32Can I read it?
11:45And mine!
11:47And mine!
11:55And mine!
12:00And mine!
12:05And mine!
12:10And mine!
12:15And mine!
12:20And mine!
12:25And mine!
12:30And mine!
12:35And mine!
12:40And mine!
12:45I'm willing to sign this petition.
12:48What do you think?
12:51I'm willing to sacrifice my blood for Taiwan.
12:56Please protect our country.
12:59Don't give Taiwan to Japan.
13:03Li Hongzhang has returned from Japan.
13:09Please kill Li Hongzhang.
13:15The British newspaper reported that...
13:21the decision-makers of the Qing Dynasty...
13:24knew that the war could not go on.
13:27And now the treaty is no longer Li Hongzhang's treaty.
13:32Because before the signing, Li Hongzhang...
13:38Li Hongzhang told Beijing everything.
13:44The emperor signed the treaty...
13:47according to the opinion of the military.
13:49If he refuses to approve the treaty now,
13:52the emperor will lose his dignity...
13:56in front of the civilized world.
14:01You can leave now.
14:04Give me the jade seal and the treaty.
14:14Get out.
14:18Close the door.
14:34Close the door.
15:04Close the door.
15:34You...
16:04You...
16:34You...
17:04You...
17:34You...
18:04You...
18:34You...
19:05Master, it's your turn.
19:09I know.
19:17Master, you've been drinking for a long time.
19:20It would be great if you were really drunk.
19:24I'm drunk.
19:35Mencius Hall in Mengchang.
19:39Guests are coming from far away.
19:56Why are you panicking?
20:05Why are you panicking?
20:07Go and see what's wrong with Yang San.
20:10Empress Dowager, he's dead.
20:27Li, come back.
20:31Empress Dowager, someone must have done this.
20:36I'll go and catch them.
20:38Forget it.
20:40I knew it.
20:43Once the treaty is signed,
20:45everyone in the world will resent.
20:48But there must be a place for them to vent their anger.
20:53Go out and tell them to bury Yang San properly.
20:58And tell everyone what I said.
21:02When Li Hongzhang comes back,
21:04His Majesty will have something to say.
21:29Zhongtang, we'll be arriving in Tianjin soon.
21:35I'm afraid the situation outside is not good for you.
21:39Whether it's good or not,
21:42I've done my best.
21:46His Majesty doesn't know me.
21:49But the Empress Dowager knows me.
21:52Sanjun.
21:54Yes.
21:56When we arrive in Tianjin,
21:58we can't go back to the Governor's Office.
22:01We'll go straight to Beijing and live in Xianliang Temple.
22:05Go home and pack your things.
22:08Ask your wife what to pack and what not to pack.
22:12She knows.
22:15My western furniture must be shipped to Beijing.
22:20The sofa and carpet must be kept warm.
22:23The horse and pig must be kept warm.
22:26And the books in the third bookcase in my study...
22:31must be kept warm.
22:35Don't forget about the fish I caught.
22:41Ask Hong'er what else he needs to pack.
22:46By the way, Sanjun.
22:49Give me the three-eyed flower bell and the yellow horsetail.
23:07I'll help you put them on.
23:11I'll help you put them on.
23:14Put them on.
23:18Put them on when you get off.
23:33Li Hongzhang, receive the decree.
23:37I receive the decree.
23:40By Heaven's will, Li Hongzhang is to be exiled,
23:45stripped of the three-eyed flower bell and the yellow horsetail,
23:49and removed from his post as the Governor-General of Beiyang.
23:53He is to remain in the Imperial Study.
23:58I, Li Hongzhang, thank Heaven.
24:02I, Li Hongzhang, thank Heaven.
24:32Enyuan.
24:38Meng Enyuan.
24:42It's me.
24:47Isn't that Master Yuan? You've been...
24:51Enyuan.
24:54Where's Miss Shen?
24:56Miss Shen?
24:59Where's Miss Shen?
25:02She's left. She's moved to the countryside since you left.
25:08I didn't expect there to be such a loyal cousin.
25:17Master Yuan!
25:21Don't just stand there. I'll find you another one.
25:25There's a Miss Chunxiang. I'm sure you'll like her.
25:29Master Yuan!
25:35Enyuan, come here.
25:39Master Yuan, look.
25:45Enyuan, from now on, don't call Miss Shen a cousin.
25:55Yes.
26:04Put it here.
26:11How much?
26:141,000 taels of silver.
26:20Brother Beiting, this is no match for your official residence in North Korea.
26:25You can stay here as long as you like.
26:32I have one more request.
26:35Beiting, what is it?
26:38Come here.
26:40I'd like to use my experience in North Korea to write something.
26:45A military manual?
26:47Yes. I can't write. I'll tell you what to write.
26:51What's the point of writing that?
26:56It's a waste of time.
27:02Please come in.
27:05Prime Minister Weng, please wait.
27:08I'm not a prime minister.
27:10Take me to Master Yuan.
27:12Yes.
27:13Please.
27:15You don't understand.
27:17In the Qing Dynasty, a military official has the title of prime minister, but no title of prime minister.
27:22A scholar has the title of prime minister, but no title of prime minister.
27:26Only a scholar and a military official can be called a prime minister.
27:30My father...
27:32Why did you leave?
27:38Spring is coming.
27:44I miss you so much.
27:52What is it?
27:53Prime Minister, Yuan Shikai is here.
27:56Let him in.
28:09Prime Minister.
28:12Wei Ting, since I came to Beijing, you are the first one to visit me.
28:19Prime Minister, you come alone.
28:23When I'm alone, I have to greet you.
28:29Prime Minister.
28:34Someone once showed me an image.
28:38He said, there is an ancient image ten thousand miles away.
28:43The so-called image of a crane.
28:49It's not because I'm old.
28:53It's because my legs are thick.
28:57If someone shows me an image now,
29:00I don't know what kind of face I will have.
29:08When people look at people,
29:10they all have a telescope in their hands.
29:14If you want to see people in a big way, you have to zoom in.
29:18But if you want to see people in a small way,
29:21you have to turn the telescope upside down.
29:24No matter how tall the people inside are,
29:27they are just small radishes.
29:32Is there anyone who looks at me in this way?
29:37Let me tell you a sad story.
29:40The one who looks at you in this way is the court.
29:43Tell me about it.
29:45You have made great contributions to the country.
29:50But now, the court treats you so poorly.
29:55When it comes to the imperial edict,
29:58there is only one person left.
30:01What do you think I should do?
30:05How can you be humiliated by this?
30:09In my opinion,
30:11you should give up the title of a scholar.
30:14Stay away from right and wrong.
30:17In the future, when the country is in trouble,
30:19you can recruit important officials.
30:21I also want to resign.
30:25I have nothing to do with it.
30:28I am old and useless.
30:31But I don't want to break someone's wish.
30:36That Ren Aiming,
30:39he wants to appoint me as a scholar.
30:43He is crazy.
30:47Are you here to be a tax collector for Weng Tonghe?
30:52Your Excellency, I...
31:00Go and tell your master.
31:03If someone else has a college degree,
31:06it has nothing to do with me.
31:08He can't take my place.
31:11Tell him.
31:13Dream on!
31:14What did Marquis Wu say?
31:17He said I should die for my crimes.
31:20I have the right to say that.
31:24As long as I am alive,
31:26I will not resign for no reason.
31:28I will not be a scholar.
31:30I will not be humiliated by this.
31:34Don't make fun of me.
31:39Who am I?
31:40Get out of here!
31:43I will pay you a visit in the future.
31:51Stop!
31:55I was wrong.
31:58Weng Tonghe is not your master yet.
32:02He will not be your master.
32:05From now on,
32:07you are a stray dog.
32:13Don't be angry, Your Excellency.
32:16You said you would use your talent to win a big prize.
32:22Get out of here!
32:25I think the old way to compensate is to rob.
32:30How much money can we save by robbing?
32:36How much money can we save by robbing?
32:40Maybe the people will have to pay for it.
32:44No way.
32:46Domestic violence often causes civil unrest in history.
32:50Can't you think of a solution?
32:54Well...
32:55Most of what His Majesty said
32:57was done by Li Hongzhang and Beiyang.
33:01Now that Li Hongzhang is dead,
33:04someone has to make up for the shortage of officials in Beiyang.
33:08Then we can think of a solution.
33:18Greetings, Father.
33:21Greetings, Empress Dowager.
33:24Get up, Your Majesty.
33:26Get up.
33:33Get up.
33:42You get up, too.
33:44Thank you, Empress Dowager.
33:53Your Majesty, please sit.
33:56Thank you, Your Majesty.
34:01Please sit. I'll sit next to you.
34:05It's okay. I'm fine sitting here.
34:12You can talk.
34:14What do you want to say?
34:18I'm sitting here. It's inappropriate for me to sit there.
34:23What's inappropriate?
34:25You're the Emperor.
34:28Don't say any more.
34:30If you say any more, you won't let me stay here.
34:37Sit.
34:53Master Weng, please say it.
34:57The compensation of 20,000 taels of silver
35:00will be paid in three phases.
35:02His Majesty said that
35:04we can't increase the burden on the people.
35:07Then we can only raise the taxes.
35:11But the British people
35:13have the upper hand
35:15when it comes to customs and general affairs.
35:18He doesn't agree.
35:20In any case, if we can't do this, we can't do that.
35:24We can only raise the foreign debt.
35:28Raising the foreign debt...
35:30The British want to mortgage it.
35:32I was hoping to use the customs tax as a mortgage.
35:36But it's not enough.
35:39The customs tax is the main income tax of the imperial court.
35:44Even if we mortgage it,
35:46we'll have to find another source of income.
35:50This other source of income
35:53will have to be taken from the people
35:55to increase the wealth.
35:58The foreign debt, the customs tax, the customs tax,
36:01the foreign deposit, the foreign deposit, the customs tax.
36:05But as His Majesty said,
36:08I'm afraid it will stir up the people.
36:12In a word,
36:15there's nothing we can do.
36:18Master Weng.
36:20Master Weng.
36:21What's wrong, Master Weng?
36:24Maybe he's worried about the foreign debt.
36:29Sit down, Master Weng.
36:31Thank you, Empress Dowager.
36:40The country is already like this.
36:43It's no use being sad.
36:45We still have to find a way to get over it.
36:48As for the foreign debt,
36:50Prince Qing and Master Weng have to continue to settle it.
36:55But we have to remember
36:57that we can't harm the country.
36:59We can't give up our sovereignty.
37:05But we still have to find a source of income.
37:08Only then can we solve the problem.
37:12If there's no suitable candidate,
37:14the gap between Beiyang and Zhili will be temporarily filled.
37:20Li Hongzhang has been in charge of foreign affairs for more than 30 years.
37:23There's still a way to get it started.
37:26Yes.
37:27If you have any questions,
37:29you can ask him.
37:33Master Xu.
37:34Your Majesty.
37:36Recently, the Hanlin Academy has published a lot of memorials on the military affairs.
37:40I've read them all.
37:42You know what they wrote, don't you?
37:44I think what they wrote is reasonable.
37:48Reasonable is reasonable.
37:50But it's not easy to rebuild the navy.
37:53It's really not easy.
37:55But according to the memorials I've seen,
37:59when it comes to the navy,
38:02it's all well-organized.
38:04It's not just about the military.
38:07It can be seen that as long as you work hard,
38:10you can achieve everything in the world.
38:13I think as long as you put more effort into it,
38:18it's not as good as those who came back from exile.
38:25Your Majesty.
38:27Your Highness.
38:29The hatred of the state
38:31makes me feel like sitting on a pillow.
38:34These days, I've been reading the military manuals day and night.
38:38I can't help but admire them.
38:42Master Xu, you have a great ambition.
38:45But the army of the Beiyang Navy has been destroyed.
38:52If you want to rebuild it,
38:54according to the current financial situation of the court,
38:57it's almost impossible.
38:59As for the army of Lu,
39:01I think we can find the old army of Huaijun.
39:07We can build a new army.
39:10The court will do its best to support it.
39:22What do you think of what Master Weng said?
39:33Both masters are right.
39:37It's just that it's too important to train soldiers.
39:46Who will be the commander?
39:49I'm going to ask my father to be the commander.
39:55Your Majesty, that's a bad thing to say.
39:59It's such an important military matter.
40:03How can I, an old woman, decide?
