【ENG SUB | FULL】Eternal Brotherhood 1 EP2:Zichuan Xiu was Framed by Yang Minghua | 紫川·光明三杰 | iQIYI
[English subtitles are available] [Eternal Brotherhood] [Episode 2] My Lord, sorry to disturb you. Looks like we were used by Yang Minghua. We made so much effort to make the people think the victory at Hengchuan was something to celebrate. Yet he used the public’s attention to take Xiu to court.
That was a risky move. Even if Luo Minghai testifies it himself, he won’t have any guarantee of success in the court trial. Besides, he has another unpredictable variable. Minister of Military and Legal Affairs, Xiao Long. If we say Ge Yingxing has the army’s loyalty, Xiao Long has won the people’s support.
I didn’t expect that under the circumstances, Yang Minghua would hand this matter to Xiao Long. I’m afraid Yang Minghua has a backup plan. My Lord, what backup plan can Yang Minghua have? I don’t know yet. But if you hear anything from the prison, let me know anytime. Yes. What’s wrong? [Ge Qing]
I just think you always go that far to go to the toilet. How can you bear it… That’s not what I meant. You are in good health. My Lord, the result is certain. However, Zichuan Xiu is so eloquent. There will be many people watching in the court.
That rascal won’t really succeed in defending himself, will he? Why allow him to talk? That’s also what Di Lin wants. We don’t need him to do this. You go and arrange it. Yes. Lord Canxing instructed us to take the prisoner, Zichuan Xiu, to the Chieftain’s Mansion now! Hurry! Hurry up.
What are you looking at? Lord Chieftain is waiting. The masters of the Ministry of War condescendingly pretend to be prison guards. You’ve suffered wrongs. You didn’t even remove the Ministry of War logos from your boots. Everyone can see that. Besides, the Chieftain’s Mansion is in the east, but we’ve been heading west.
We’re going to the graveyard Commander Yang picked for me, aren’t we? It hurts. You go first. Leave this to me. Take it as my medical fee. If you want to live, do as I say. Tell the groom to go along Qiuxi Road and leave the city through Mingyue Temple Path.
We haven’t met for so long, yet you’re still so naughty. Brother Xiu, you haven’t been home for so long that you don’t even know the way? There are guards of the Ministry of War on Qiuxi Road. Are you going there to greet Yang Minghua? Go north along the path by the river.
Go to Qingfeng Villa. Yes. Be gentle. Be gentle. -What’s wrong? -It hurts. You’re hurt? -Where? Let me see. -No, nothing serious. Don’t… Why are you dressed like that? What is that? It’s so ugly. You’ve seen my ugliest look. You have to be responsible for me. You’re hurt? Let me see.
Brother Xiu, it’s been seven years since we last met. You’ve gained weight. What have you been doing these seven years? The first rule of Marching Instructions is those who leave the Imperial Capital for a long trip should bring gifts for their old friends when they are back. Where’s the gift? It hurts.
I haven’t touched you yet. Really? Don’t change the subject. Where’s the gift? It’s fine if you don’t have any. Then get ready and marry me as a gift. Gift? Gift! I bought you this with all my fortune. Yuanzhou Fantastic Moonlight Stone. Rub this stone with your hands day and night.
It will become transparent and bright. It’ll be as bright as the Moon and as glittering as jade. Not only can it exorcise evil spirits, but it also is good for your skin and body. Is it also good for the skin and body? Of course it’s fake. I picked it up casually.
But since it can make you happy, my gift is not a total failure. It is indeed fake. I don’t care. You said you would give it to me. Then it is a moonlight stone. [Lin Xiujia] Sister-in-law? Long time no see! I remember you need the password to enter the secret room.
I think I forgot it. Seems that I need to kiss you. What happened? Did you tease Sister-in-law again? Let’s get down to business. Now Yang Minghua wants him dead. Anyone who stands out will die with him. Si Yilin and I have prepared the traveling expenses for you. Get lost. I can’t.
If I run away, it’ll be like I want to escape punishment. If I can’t be blamed, the blame will be on Lord Ge Yingxing. I think you can get lost. Yang Minghua and Lord Ge have been enemies for so long, but there’s no result about who’s better. If you get lost now,
Lord Ge can handle it. Second Brother, do you remember what you said to me? The honor of a soldier is more important than his life. All these years, you fought against Yang Minghua with all your heart. Now you teach me to escape punishment? Okay, how about this? You stay.
I’ve been sleeping with the wolf these seven years. I won’t stand it anymore for your sake. The three of us can hold our knives and go straight to the Ministry of War to assassinate him. At worst, we’ll sacrifice bravely. At that time, when the army is deployed in front of the Chieftain’s Mansion
And Lord Chieftain is forced to abdicate, he will thank the three of us. I can’t just go anyway. You really can. And you have to. I really… Here, Xiu. Have some tea. Sister-in-law is the best. Thank you. I can’t stand you keep talking about “getting lost.” You three are all so hesitant.
Xiu, look at me. Three. Two. One. I have sent people to set up more checkpoints both inside and outside the Imperial Capital to inspect and search the city strictly and thoroughly. Within three days, we’ll definitely get Zichuan Xiu… The trial is tomorrow, not three days later. You may leave. Yes.
Go pick some handy weapons. Take care. Tieshou has never missed anyone he’s determined to arrest. He can defeat hundreds of elite soldiers. If he does it, Zichuan Xiu will die within one day. [Xiao Long] The wrongs our family suffered were only redressed thanks to your impartiality, Lord Xiao.
How could I take your money? I haven’t paid you the previous two times. Today, I ate half a can of your nuts. That’s the right amount. If you don’t accept it, I dare not come again. I’ll make you some good tea. Lord Xiao, you’re a clean-fingered official.
No wonder you’re so favored by the people. It was all thanks to your favor, Commander Yang. As for the Zichuan Xiu case, according to the military order from the Yuanzhou Army, the regional station troops should all be transferred to the border of Zichuan and several critical passes to defend against the enemy.
In the battle of Hengchuan, he deployed the troops without permission. A field commander must decide even against orders from above. Among these 10,000 prisoners of war, there is Princess Ka Dan of the North Clan. But he didn’t report it. Counting the prisoners of war and reporting them one by one
Are the duty of other people. This is not really a crime. I understand. Everyone will be watching the trial. Naturally, we should convince people by reasoning. We must have both the testimony of the witnesses and the material evidence. He is a young hero. We can’t falsely accuse him. Don’t worry, Commander Yang.
The Ministry of Military and Legal Affairs is impartial. There is no injustice under my command. My Lord, we’ve found the target. He’s six feet tall and has an attractive appearance. His face is like a sculpture, with a florid complexion. What a pity. The Flower of Yuanzhou is going to wither.
The victory at Hengchuan brings joy to the country. The Ministry of War should have rewarded every one according to their merits. But when we were checking Yuanzhou Captain Zichuan Xiu’s seven-year records of military affairs, we found that he behaved in a perverse way and did countless shameless things.
He even seemed to have sought victory by collaborating with the enemy. Zichuan Xiu knew that he had failed the family’s trust. He committed suicide by taking poison last night. His face festered and swelled due to severe poison. How can you prove he is Zichuan Xiu? Lord Xiao, please summon the witness.
Send him in. Kneel! My Lords, I’m the guard guarding Zichuan Xiu. I didn’t expect him to escape with a guilty conscience. The wound on my body was left at the time when I was chasing him. Zichuan Xiu realized that he couldn’t escape whatsoever,
So he admitted he had colluded with the enemy to win, and then he committed suicide by taking poison. Next witness. How could there be a next witness? Couldn’t you kill him? I followed him to the valley. After entering the mountain area, he disappeared after a bend. Then, I was attacked
By someone from above. The knife came so fast, and the attack was so cruel that there was no chance to fight back. Are you sure that was Zichuan Xiu? I heard that I had died. I’m here to mourn over my own death. What’s with this body? Lord Luo,
If you want to charge me, just tell me. Why do you bring charges against a dead man? But then again, he really looked like me. Zichuan Xiu. You should have been in prison to wait for the trial. Why did you break out of prison? Break out of prison? Lord Xiao, yesterday, several people
Took me out of prison, saying that the Chieftain wanted to bring me to trial. But they tried to kill me just a few steps out of the prison. It took me a lot of effort to get away. I hurried here to ask you to interrogate me. Zichuan Xiu, don’t call white black here.
Weren’t those who took you away yesterday your accomplices? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be standing here. We couldn’t resist them yesterday and let him get away. We found a body to replace him to avoid punishment. Please show mercy, My Lord. You spoke nonsense before the court.
And you deceived the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Military and Legal Affairs with a fake body. You should be executed. Guards, take him away. Yes! Please spare my life, My Lord. Please spare my life! My Lord, please spare me! My Lord!
Breaking out of prison is a small matter, but colluding with the enemy is a big deal. Luo Minghai. Lord Luo. Just now, you accused me of breaking out of prison, and now you are accusing me of colluding with the enemy. Do you really think you can wrongfully accuse me like seven years ago?
Listen. I’ve grown up. Zichuan Xiu, this is a trial. Watch your language and attitude. Zichuan has strict laws. The trial is held today, which means there are sufficient witnesses and evidence to testify against you. If you haven’t broken the law, don’t worry,
The Ministry of Military and Legal Affairs will undoubtedly clear your name. Okay, Lord Luo. What other charges do I face? Why don’t you tell me all at once? Lord Xiao, After being investigated by the Ministry of War and reviewed by the Ministry of Military and Legal Affairs,
Yuanzhou Captain Zichuan Xiu is charged with eight crimes. Uncle. Uncle. Uncle. Uncle. Lady Ning. I want to see my uncle. Do you know that before the court, Yang Minghua instigated Luo Minghai to call white black and frame the loyal official. Now, I can only ask my uncle for help. Your Highness, Chieftain said
The trial will be over in a couple of hours. He can’t change anything. Please go back, Your Highness. I’m not going back. I’ll kneel here until Uncle comes out to see me. Chieftain knew you would do this. He asked me to give this to you. It’s more comfortable to kneel on it. Goodbye.
Zichuan Xiu. About the eight crimes that Lord Luo accused you on behalf of the Ministry of War, do you have anything to say? Of course. I didn’t expect Lord Luo to memorize these eight crimes so well. He’s eloquent, and the wording is refined. Lord Luo said it with one breath
Without his face turning red or his breath getting ragged. I think Lord Luo is still very tough, considering his age. Zichuan Xiu, when Hengchuan was at war, you slept in front of the battle, yes or no? If you hadn’t colluded with the enemy and knew the trends before the war,
How could you sleep? I was really sleepy. You captured Princess Ka Dan of the North Clan, yet you didn’t report it. You used the pretext of coveting Ka Dan’s beauty to protect her. In fact, you wanted to send her away. All your soldiers and prisoners of war can testify.
Everyone, we are all men. How can you pretend to be coveting a beauty? It’s… It’s real. Besides, Lord Luo, if you saw how beautiful Princess Ka Dan of the North Clan was, I believe you would be like an old dog in heat. Your love would be rekindled. Zichuan Xiu!
Do you think this is the place for you to play dirty? Am I the one who’s playing dirty? 30,000 soldiers chased 300,000 enemies. Seen by anyone, it would be a loyal act by someone who put one’s own life and death aside.
But you said I colluded with the North Clan and put on an act. The North Clan pretended to attack other critical passes, but in fact, they raided Hengchuan. I led troops to fight the enemy and didn’t lose one city of Zichuan. And yet you said I deliberately disrupted the war situation in Yuanzhou.
Besides, it’s freezing in Yuanzhou. I used gold coins to exchange socks with the North Clan. But you said I sent a private message to the North Clan. Okay, I’ll take off my shoes and show you my socks. Check them. Zichuan Xiu! Zichuan Xiu, you said you were wronged. Fine, let me ask you.
How did the North Clan lose? It is said that the strongest general and the commander-in-chief of the North Clan, Ge Sha, was killed before he reached Hengchuan. This is the key to the defeat of the North Clan in the Battle of Hengchuan. Did you kill him? No. Of course not!
Because judging from the time, you were fast asleep in your bed! Did you know he was dead back then? If you didn’t, how dare you have ordered to chase the enemy? Or is he still alive? Had you colluded long before that? Who? Uncle. The more powerful Yang Minghua is, the more precious
A loyal general like Brother Xiu will be. Whether it’s for me or for Zichuan, you must save Brother Xiu. Ning, to be honest, I just don’t like Zichuan Xiu. Mainly I don’t like that he didn’t teach you any good stuff but only how to enter through the window or things like that.
Uncle, I was wrong. I won’t enter through the window again. Please save Brother Xiu. I beg you. Ning. Yang Minghua’s current power is even greater than seven years ago. It’d be useless even if I went there. Even if I disturbed the trial, it would only be delayed a while.
The result would still be the same. Ning, I’m afraid if you go with your hopes high and come back disappointed, you’d be even sadder then. I don’t care, Uncle. As long as Brother Xiu can live a while longer, I can be a little less sad. If he dies,
What’s the point of me living alone? Lord Yuanxing shed tears in front of me. He held my hand tightly and pointed to the east firmly and solemnly. He… Okay, thank you. He patted my hand and said in a trembling voice, “Xiu, do not scruple. Just go. The victory will be yours for sure.
It will belong to Zichuan for sure!” Enough! Zichuan Xiu, according to what you said, before your nap, our late Chieftain, Lord Zichuan Yuanxing, came to your dream and told you that Ge Sha was dead? And it was he who ordered you to chase the enemy? Exactly. I didn’t expect
That you could finally understand me, Lord Xiao! Nonsense! How could you say such a ridiculous thing as a ghost entering into your dream? How dare you mention the spirit of Lord Yuanxing to defend you? Such sophistry is a contempt of court. Shameless! Shameless? In order to kill me,
My Lords, you really all made a lot of effort. You never repent. Lord Xiao, I have a question. Si Yilin. You are just the Deputy Commander of the Royal Escorts. You can only sit by but have no right to ask questions. I know. But the eight crimes you just discussed
And the evidence-searching process have a highly complex process. The case should be reported by the Yuanzhou Army, confirmed by the Ministry of War, and examined by the Ministry of Military and Legal Affairs. In the end, the case will be handed over to the Chieftain’s Mansion. According to the Law of Zichuan,
If we don’t follow this procedure, then everything will be deemed invalid. The Battle of Hengchuan is not a trivial matter. Yesterday, I requested Lord Chieftain to make a secret order to authorize the power to retrieve the files of all bureaus and armies to me.
At the same time, I have informed all of my peer officials to cooperate with the inspection. As for the solid evidence, let’s summon the Lieutenant of Zichuan Xiu, Baichuan. Lord Xiao, these are the records of military affairs provided by Baichuan. It records Zichuan Xiu’s daily behaviors,
Like how he exchanged things with the North Clan and how he sneakily tipped them off. They are entirely consistent with the eight crimes. Baichuan, you wrote this yourself, right? Yes. Recording the Captain’s daily lives, daily activities, marching arrangement and core orders… That’s my duty. Are the records authentic? Yes, but… I, Xiao Long,
Hereby declare that… Lord Xiao, even if Baichuan’s records are true, Zichuan Xiu is also right. Yuanzhou is indeed a stark place. We’ve been fighting with the North Clan for years. It has become a custom to barter. If Zichuan Xiu is found guilty based on that, none of the Yuanzhou soldiers will be innocent.
If Zichuan Xiu is convicted of betraying the country and conspiring with the enemy, none of the tens of thousands of Yuanzhou soldiers who had fought battles for Zichuan will be innocent. My Lord, Lord Si Yilin is right. If we convict Lord Xiu of betraying the country just based on the records,
It is far-fetched. As far as I know, Lord Zichuan Xiu may seem to be careless about trivial stuff on the face of it, but he’s loyal to his family. If not, how can he live in a shabby place like Hengchuan for seven years, eating mice and ants? Careless about trivial stuff? Since when
Did the foundation of the country become a trivial matter? My Lord! The Lieutenant of Yuanzhou Army, Baichuan, obtained the evidence that her senior officer was colluding with the enemy. Not only did she hide that for years, but she also helped him rebel. According to the Law of Zichuan,
She will be sentenced to the same sentence as colluding with the enemy. Cane her to death outside the court immediately. Take her away. Who dares to touch her? The ninth crime: disturbing the order of the trial, and attempting to rebel. Zichuan Xiu, are you still not pleading guilty?
You have to turn the victory at Hengchuan into the shame of Hengchuan? I’m not guilty. Also, you are insulting not only me but the entire Yuanzhou. The eight crimes are ridiculous. You know clearly that I’m not guilty, and I’ve performed meritorious service. Shameless! Now, you take out the seals of the three Ministries
To frame me. It’s useless for me to say anything. Zichuan Xiu. It’s your own fault. You shouldn’t disgrace the Yuanzhou Army altogether. If you are determined to shift the blame, it can only prove that Luo Bo and Ge Yingxing were not strict with their subordinate and spoiled you.
How many more people do you want to implicate? In the Battle of Hengchuan, there is solid evidence to prove that Zichuan Xiu colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. I, Xiao Long, hereby declare, in the name of the family, that his military rank is to be stripped and his property confiscated.
And he’ll be executed immediately. Take him away! Lord Canxing has recovered. That’s a blessing to Zichuan. Lord Chieftain, we have witnesses and evidence. Zichuan Xiu and his subordinate have also pleaded guilty. Ning, don’t look at that. Lord Chieftain, no matter how much you adore this child, as Minister of Military and Legal Affairs,
I have to be responsible for the dignity of the Law of Zichuan, so I have to get rid of this traitor. Lord Canxing. They… I… I want to stab you to death. I’ll kill you for my brother. You’re a disloyal and treacherous man. You deserve to be killed for treason.
And even death would not be a sufficient punishment! My Lords. -Lord Chieftain, please take a seat. -Brother Xiu, get up. Please sit down. My Lords. Lord Chieftain, Zichuan Xiu is the child of Zichuan Yuanxing. My Lord, he’s just adopted. No need to be too sad. One more thing:
He doesn’t deserve to use the surname of the royal family anymore. He should change back to his original name, Lin He. My Lords. Please understand. Before Zichuan Yuanxing died, he held my hand and entrusted Ning and Xiu to me. Now, Zichuan Xiu has committed such a grave crime,
I’m also responsible for not teaching him well. For my sake, would you allow me to have a meal with Zichuan Xiu? Consider it the last meal. I’d like to send him on his way to the River Styx. Just four hours. When the time comes, you can execute him. What do you think?
Then I’ll listen to Lord Canxing’s order. Yes, we’ll listen to your command, Lord Chieftain. Thank you. Yang Minghua made preparations beforehand. He had colluded with Xiao Long in private long before. This time, he’s going to kill Xiu at all costs. Fine. Xiu is unlucky. He was born to implicate people.
I’m going to gather my trusted subordinates now. If there is no way out, we have to break into the execution ground. You’re not the one who should go. You’ve been lurking beside Yang Minghua’s side for seven years. If he wants to rebel, you’ll be the most powerful trump card.
Give your men to me. I’ll go. Okay. My Lord. These are some light dishes sent from Commander Yang. This is my favorite. Wait a minute. No matter who sent it, you must be careful. It’s okay. The color doesn’t change. I’ll eat it then. Eat up. Try this chicken. It’s really delicious.
Why did you come back? I’m asking you. Why did you come back? I’m not here to see you cry, anyway. Brother Xiu, take this to pick the lock and run. Don’t worry. If God sees that I’m not a good person, he’ll allow me to live a long life. Don’t worry.
My Lord, it’s time. I’m done. You can leave. Ning, the stone I gave you is indeed a piece of rubbish. Throw it away. I’m just a piece of rubbish, too. Useless. You can leave. Uncle. Uncle, we made a deal. He won’t live if you stay here. How dare you betray your family?
How dare you glare at me? Useless traitor! Lord Di Lin! She is tough. There’s no need to waste your energy on a traitor who’s sentenced to death. Yes. Take her away! Execute her with Zichuan Xiu! Bro, you’re about to kill, but you just use Sticky Rice Wine to wash your knife?
The treatment I receive is so bad. Do you have Kaoliang Wine? The Sticky Rice Wine is actually quite fragrant. Why did you come back? To kill me? Don’t be afraid. How about you lick it? Drinking wine can relieve your pain. Get lost! My Lord, it’s time. Young hero. To be honest,
It’s a pity.
