Drama Watching Experience

I have watched dramas for a long time. My understanding of all Asian dramas is immense. I particularly love the 1990s Hong Kong dramas, some Korean dramas, and certain mainland dramas that are not too Final Fantasy like. Things that have too much graphics are a bit too much for me.

    6:33
    It's the day before Minister Cao's judgment on what to do with Ji Bu, Zi Huan is worried and Guo Zhao comes to comfort him. This seems to be the night that they became closer to each other. Having saw this, Lady Zhen, holding onto a warm cape she brought her husband to endure the night, leaves with sadness. Although her heart use to be with Zi Jian, she is an educated socialite, and understands her responsibilities and role. She is in no position, as an ex-wife of Yuan Xi, to control what her husband do.



    10:42
    Yang Xiu and Ding Yuan came to persuade the Minister to give Ji Bu a death penalty. Yang Xiu, smartly, does not say a word while Ding Yuan annoys Cao Cao that Ji Bu must be punished to enforce the nation's rules. His advises were ignored and they follow Cao Cao to the stage where Cao Pi (Zi Huan) is. Meanwhile, Sima Yi spends the morning exercising practicing the skills of 5 Claw Hands and 6 Claw Hands. Sima Yi sweetly and willingly let his wife torture him to ease her anxiousness and letting her vent her worries for putting Ji Bu in a risky plan to save his life.

    16:30
    Cao Cao announces to the public that he will forgive Ji Bu for his crime in letting an enemy live. The people's heart wavers and thanks Minister Cao for his mercy and virtue. As Cao Cao leaves, he notes to Zi Huan "Today, the people here are the hearts you have stolen. You have grown up to match up to me, huh?"



    Sima Yi's family receives news that Ji Bu is saved, and the wife turns 360 degrees and loves the husband now. She goes in happily to cook him a meal. Sima Yi, a little sensitive at his wife's happiness, says "you only think about the hero (Ji Bu) who saved the maiden (Zhang Chun Hua, Sima Yi's wife). Remember this time, it's I who saved the hero".

    21:46
    Cao Cao brings in Ji Bu who just finished his punishment for 50 spankings. He ask him for the person who strategized this situation. Later, Cao Cao meets with his son and let him keep the position as Xiao Shi House's leader. He tells him a story about "Di Hu" horse of General Zhang. It was a powerful horse that killed its rider. Zi Huan says he can tame the horse (Sima Yi). Cao Cao tells him "Okay. Go to the stable and bring the horse out" (lol because Sima Yi is currently the horse caretaker).



    28:00
    Sima Yi's wife worries about the family's safety for helping Zi Huan. Sima Yi assures her. Later, Zi Huan celebrates the situation with Ji Bu has been successfully ended. Sima Yi apologizes to the general for having to threaten him with a sword at his head. He punish himself with 3 cups of wine, but the general takes out 2 jugs for the punishment. Not only, he makes it a blood wine and warns Sima Yi to never do anything against Zi Huan.

    There's no saving Sima Yi this time, and he gets extremely drunk and sits down. Juas at this moment, he sees Lady Zhen enter the room and immediately puts his head down in respect to her status. Everyone does the same but some kept their heads up to look at the wife's beauty. The servant has a disgusted look.

    39:57
    Everyone whose head was up is punished. Though the mother was just displaying a show to yell at the son, Cao Cao saw everything as he had a mirror on the bed. Zi Huan is upset that his loyal officials has been punished.

    Thoughts

    After watching to episode 10, I remembered another make of the story and what happened. The title was called Where the Legend Begins (Luo Shen) by TVB production.



    This story was about Lady Zhen, who was played by Ada Choi. I thought she was very pretty in this drama. In this drama, she liked Zi Jian and you can really feel their chemistry. She was forced to marry Zi Huan because Zi Huan liked her and schemed to get her. Later her best friend/maid was a girl she saved from a period of famine. She became the 2nd wife of Zi Huan and became known as Guo Zhao. Lady Zhen would become empress, and then sentenced to death due to Guo Zhao schemes.

    This is Ada Choi in Where the Legend Begins.



    There's a famous scene where Zi Huan became king and threatened to kill Zi Jian if he cannot recite a poem in 7 steps. Zi Jian lost his poetry skills after he lost Lady Zhen. In order to help him recover his poetry skills within 7 steps, she smiles to him as inspiration. Chinese poetry is about describing objects, feelings, motions, etc.



    Culture Explained

    5 Claw Hand is a type of skill in the Shaolin Temple's martial arts. The skill specialize in grabbing onto someone in a fight and positioning them in a disadvantage. Same with 6 Claw Hands.

They leave to somewhere else.

    Sima Yi ask "Why does Minister Cao assign the responsibility of catching Ji Bu to you? Why did he give you such a short time?" Ji Bu belongs to Xiao Shi house which Zi Huan is in charge of, and wants to use this incident to weaken my power. Sima Yi "Why does he want to do that?" Zi Huan says it's because he is thinking of making Zi Jian the heir. "Why does Minister Cao feels like he has to do this?" Because I'm the eldest son, and that I am more looked up to among the officials. Sima Yi explains so if you catch Ji Bu, you are going against his will and declaring war against Cao Cao and Zi Jian. You will become a bad person in many people's eyes and if you error again, people will despise you even more.

    Line by Line

    Credits to colonyofcells del machine for contributions. (I will edit when I have time to blend the material together)

    29:43
    heroine : My body (health) is now getting quite well. I want to go. Because the things I need to do, will surely cause you great difficulties. After you are back in Chang An, take good care of yourself. If Yan Bei and Da Wei start a war, we too will have no choice but to meet at the battlefield. At that time, you too will necessarily not be able to show any mercy.

    Yu Wen Yue : Aside from making clear our positions, don't tell me, you have nothing more to say to say to me.

    heroine : between us, what else can we say to each other.

    Yu Wen Yue : that is true. Everything was just my own wishful thinking.

    heroine : Yu Wen Yue....You need to understand, I and Yanxun, we had very great difficulty to get to where we are today. I cannot be immature (to do whatever you want) and I also cannot act on impulse. Thank you for saving me so many times. I am really sorry, I really need to go. Yanxun is alone in Yanbei, what type of situations he is facing, what type of environment he is facing, what type of people he is facing, all of these I completely and totally do not know. I worry about him, of course (naturally), I also should console (comfort) him. I think, he still needs me. (kiss)

    Yu Wen Yue : I need you too! Can you feel it? (walks out)

    2:25
    Prince Xiao Ce tells Yuwen Yu that he has Chu Qiao, and Yuwen Yue comes. The prince finds out about Chu Qiao is currently poisoned, and he tells Yuwen Yue that it's Wang Sheng Group's doing. They set forth to find a cure for her.

    6:25
    They find a man nicknamed Yu Liang and finds out if you passed the Niepan (nirvana) Examination, you can join Wang Sheng Group as an assassin. They can live anywhere they like. The only command they must obey is from Ying Zhu (group leader). His command is called Zui Wen Ling (Chase Spirit Order). Other missions are optional. Very little people has ever met the leader. Yu Liang assassin lost all his relatives in a fire that is suspected to be Wang Sheng Group's doing.

    9:12
    Princess Xiao Yu kept a girl captive, Xia Chong, for a long time to look for Luo He's daughter. Here, we learn that Luo He is the diezhi leader of the jiang hu. Xia Chong is not afraid of Luo He's people but is afraid of Wang Sheng Group.

    (Jiang Hu are usually like people who are wild, groups like gangs, non-government affiliates. Please look up the actual definition of gangs. It just means a group of people who forms together to do something. Jiang Hu people govern with their own rules neglecting government rules. Within Jiang Hu, there are good and bad groups. This is usually the case. However, in this drama, it seems that Jiang Hu is just 1 group with 1 leader.) Luo He is an important target / eye sore of diezhe tianyan (Yuwen's group). Xia Chong is also currently being searched by Wang Sheng Group. (I guess everyone is searching for Chu Qiao)

    11:56
    Yueqi identifies Wang Sheng Group's point of contact and captures him. Yuwen Yue offers to Yu Liang to help him become independent of Wang Sheng group, find his lost relatives, and will let him live with this lover. He can accept the terms or die. Yu Liang has time to think about it

    14:29
    Princess Xiao Yu kills Wang Sheng assassins who were there to bring Xia Chong to the leader. Xia Chong is part of Wang Sheng Group, and is surprised that they know where she is. She doesn't want to go back. Princess wants to know who is Luo He's daugther. Xiao Chong tells the princess that there's an mission record in Wang Sheng Group that has her answers. Back then, Wang Sheng group sent half their group to kill Luo He. After Luo He was arrested, during the last moment, she abandoned the mission. Luo He sees Xia Chong shares resemblance to her daughter and taught her the internal powers (Neigong) of ice.

    (There are 2 parts to martial arts: the physical motion and the strength within aka internal power. The internal power is what allow people to do amazing things such as cut a leaf with air, leap & jump like you are flying, send an attack with eyes. lol if you get what I mean. The internal power is usually portrayed with wind especially in dramas in the past. Now it's depicted with wonderful graphics and colors of aurora surrounding the person.)

    16:52
    (continuation from where I left off) Luo He taught martial arts to Xia Chong so she can protect Chu Qiao by pretending to be her and help Chu Qiao escape. Xia Chong betrayed Wang Sheng Group and went to Luo He's side. She tells the princess to go find the secret records to find what she wants to know

    19:34
    Yuwen Yue thinks the guy he sees is the leader. Princess pretends to be one of Wang Sheng Group applicants and gets in. The Weng Sheng Group leader comes in and kills an assassin and see he is from Da Liang Secret Sector. Yuwen Yue breaks in not too long later. Leader announces to kill the spies who is in their examination. Once killed, they are allowed to join. Everyone starts to identify and kill who is not right.

    Thoughts

    I see lots of people still have a hard time getting English translations/summaries. I did this for the English drama watchers so people would stop fighting. If you find my translations helpful, please feel free to share as a thank you for my effort.

    On another note, ever since I started doing this, I just recently went back and play some of the English subtitles (for the first time) for different videos in different shows, and I am pleasantly surprised at what you guys have been reading. There's a lot of lost text. If you ever see something and you are dying to know word for word what they are saying, feel free to tell me, and I will break it down in extreme details.

    6:37 (entire section is the servant making a report to Yuwen Yue)
    This person is called Xu Liang
    should be his nickname
    he lives in Yuli Gui Ci county
    his martial arts are powerful
    in order to catch him
    we lost 3 people
    these people
    once they passed the Niepan (nirvana) Exam
    they can joing Wang Sheng group
    as an official assassin
    the best assassins
    does not need to be limited by Wang Sheng group
    they can select where they want to live
    and accept any missions
    with the exception for Ying Zhu's (camp/group leader)
    Zui Hun Ling (Catching Spirit Order)
    all other missions
    are optional
    if accepted, there will be rewards
    if not accepted, no one will intervene
    anyway, they have a stronger free will
    these assassins and their higher ups'
    communication
    usually have a one way contact
    other than receiving and dispatching for the mission
    they do not interact
    with all other assassins
    they do not know who they are
    and extremely very little people have seen the leader
    they basically
    rely on accomplishing the mission
    and receive the rewards through the days

    7:36
    Yulin Gui Ci?
    this place is isolated
    they need to rely on monetary rewards to live
    then, why do they live there
    Yue Qi Lord
    your question
    is asked on point
    most of Wang Sheng group's people
    do not have a long term house
    many people will choose to live in
    flourishing cities
    as it is easier to cover up the identity
    very little people
    will choose to live in poor villages
    besides their own personality problems
    the biggest cause is
    their original family
    was there
    what about his family?
    did you find them?
    no
    all his family died
    he is this family's
    youngest son
    when he was 11 years old
    he was kidnapped and sold
    into Wang Sheng group
    and then, he passed the
    Niepan Exam
    when he stood out from the group that year
    all his family died
    in a fire
    is it the work of Wang Sheng group?
    possibly
    he's also suspecting
    but the past few years
    he has not find sufficient
    evidence
    then were you able to find it?
    no
    but i made one

    3:57

    9:07
    Time fast fowards to the wedding night, Zi Huan does not consume the marriage and visits Sima Yi asking him if he is satisfied with his situation right now. He ask him if his refusal to serve him is because he has failed. Sima Yi explains that this marriage does not mean you have failed but it actually means Minister Cao has precaution with you. He found Zi Jian a powerful Hebei family because Zi Huan, you, have too many support from powerful families. These families grew up with giving power to the first son of the first wife and if there is none, then to the eldest son of the family. This is the heaven's gracious to you. Guo Zhao brings food and sees Zi Huan. Zi Huan leaves while still feeling sad.

    14:56
    Cao Cao's most beloved son Cao Chong (the little boy who's always with Cao Cao) dies and he regrets killing Dr. Hua Tuo. (From outside knowledge: Cao Chong was a child prodigy. He was smart and had a compassionate heart. Cao Cao considered him an heir. He died at age 12.) The sons attempt to console the father, but the father says it's lucky for you.

They also know Xu Shu's old friend Zhuge Liang (one of the most famous strategist of all time) serves Liu Bei. Cao Cao tells Zi Huan, who is now in charge of Xiao Shi House, to take care of this matter.

    24:51
    Zi Huan tells Xu Shu that his only way to survive right now is to serve him. Xu Shu refuses. Zi Huan tells him to run immediately and he will come back with assassins/army later to have him killed. Xu Shu says he cannot serve him but recommends Sima Yi to his aid if you have the ability to get him on your side. Minister Cao discover Xu Shu is gone and sends Ji Bu to kill him. Ji Bu lets him go and goes missing. If Zi Huan cannot catch Ji Bu in 3 days, he will go through the army's standard punishment.

    32:00
    Cao Cao knew his son will let Xu Shu go and purposely allowed him to go as the only assassin. Xun Yu ask if you do not intend to catch Ji Bu, then why did you send Zi Huan to go if you know it's impossible to catch him now. Zi Huan discuss with advisers what he should do. He knows if he doesn't accomplish the task, his position as the head of Xiao Shi House will be taken away.

    35:00
    Zi Huan ask Sima Yi whether Ji Bu is at his house. Sima Yi says he has not returned home for 3 days and does not know. Zi Huan tells Sima Yi to return home and take a look, and Sima Yi is super confused as in if he's not home, why would Ji Bu go to his house. He tells him that Ji Bu let Xu Shu go. If Zi Huan cannot find Ji Bu, he's going to make Sima Yi suffer as well, AND, he knows Ji Bu has good relations with Sima Yi's wife.

    37:10
    Sima Yi tells Ji Bu not to return to Minister Cao because the minister is not looking to punish him but someone else. If he returns now, it will be against the minister wish. Sima Yi houses Ji Bu and wonders what his relationship with his wife is. His wife brings him a bowl of vinegar (in Chinese culture, vinegar is associated with being jealous). Sima Yi eats the bowl and finds its lily bulb/ lotus seed soup.

    Thoughts

    In real history, it was said that Cao Pi (Zi Huan) was the actual one was mesmerized by Lady Zhen's appearance. Here, it is Cao Zhi (Zi Jian).

    4:57
    It's year 208 when Minister Cao conquered HeBei and returned back to Xu Du. Cao Cao tells Xun Yu that he found 100+ letters from officials to Yuan Shao when he won the battle and tells him him he burned the letters thus forgiving him. He wonders how is Sima Yi. Sima Yi hears news of Cao Cao's victory. He burned the enemies food storage which was crucial for his small army to win against a large army. His success means trouble for Sima Yi as talents must be used by Cao Cao or be eliminated. He waits for the arrival of an important guest.

    11:24
    Sima Yi shocks everyone by standing up and greeting Cao Pi. Cao Pi ask Sima Yi for his service one last time as Sima Yi sees through Cao Pi and understands his desires. He tells Sima Yi, he wants to be shizi (almost like crown prince except his father is not the king). Sima Yi sees Minister Cao and Minister Cao says he hears Sima Yi looks like an eagle suspiciously looking back. He appoints him the position of horse caretaker and throws stones on the ground to see if Sima Yi actually looks like what the rumor says, and he does!

    22:21
    Minister Cao plays with his son and wants to give him the royal candy gifts from the morning. The eunuch tells him that Yang Xiu, and Minister Cao is annoyed. He now has no reason to hold back from letting Yang Xiu live. He visits his son, Zi Jian, and finds Yang Xiu distributing the candies. Zi Jian ask isn't it inappropriate to take without asking? Yang Xiu says the candy is named "A Box of Cookies". In chinese character, if you isolate every stroke of the first 2 characters, it becomes each person have one cookie. See below

    一盒酥 = 一人一口酥


    Cao Cao overhears Yang Xiu's thoughts about the future in breaking Han traditions, creating a new society, and offering his service to Zi Jian in becoming shizi. Cao Cao approves

    31:37
    Yang Xiu talks to Sima Yi more politely now and less insulting. He says this is now Cao Cao's world, and if Sima Yi still does not listen, he will not be forgiving this time.

    34:00
    Han loyalists apologizes to Cao Cao for opposing him in the past and now sees he is the hero who stopped the turmoil of the warring states. Cao Cao ask for the Cui Gong official's daughter to marry his son Zi Jian. Zi Jian does not want to but obeys. This is to strengthen Zi Jian's power in the political world. He gives Lady Zhen, daughter-in-law of Yuan Shao, to Zi Huan. Cao Cao purposely bestowed Lady Zhen to Zi Huan to anger Zi Jian so he can dislike his brother and sharpen his will to fight for power. Cao Cao's wife is in disbelief. He wants to see the true abilities of his sons.

    Thoughts

    *Just want to note, the incident with the cookies is a famous incident across history.

    Many strategies stories bring lots of moralities and topics for discussion. A great question I would like to ponder about is if someone is smart and manipulative but doesn't harm you and only make you do things, would you still be willing to friend that someone?

    If someone can bring peace to the nation, but is greedy and wants to depose the current government, would you help or not help?

    If someone pretended to be genuine to gain your trust, but ultimately use you for the positive in achieving a goal, how would you feel? What if you knew he was pretending to be genuine, would you still allow it?

    Is Cao Cao a good father or a bad father?

    At this point, who does Cao Cao favor: Zi huan or Zi Jian?

    Yang Xiu actor is not bad. He manage to capture the character of someone I don't like but understand his position. He also allows me to see that he is capable as well. His voice and attitude is on point.

    49 & 50 Preview Summary and Prediction 7/13/17. Scroll down for Episode 49 summary.

    Yuwen Yue is getting a massage from Chu Qiao and she takes a small knife and tries to kill him. While fighting, he rips off her clothes and he sees the 2 scars on her back. He falls on top of her and kisses her. (ahhhhh!!!!! .. just thought i should have this reaction) Then they end up fighting on the bed, and the scene sort of fades a little indicating maybe they slept together or not. This seems like it because usually when in asian dramas, they always do a wedding scene night makeout session and then the lights fade and changes to the scene of the outside with the night fading away. Here, the scene changes to the guards standing outside and didn't even bother to check out if their owner is okay. It seems they "know"

    Princess cousin, Mr. Wei, comes the next day suspecting Chu Qiao to be there. Yuwen Yue protects her. Mr. Wei thinks Yuwen Yue will only use energy to protect one person and that must be Chu Qiao

    Chu Qiao runs away on Mr. Wei's obedient horse and cannot control him. Yuwen Yue comes and Chu Qiao says none of your business. (Now, I am confused. I'm thinking 75% they already slept together. This scene is clearly after the bed scene. Why would she say none of your business?) She hops onto his horse. They are ambushed by assassins and they threw flying needles at Yuwen Yue. Chu Qiao blocks the needles with her body. In this type of scene, I guess Yuwen Yue will have to "yi shen xiang xu" now. lol.. chinese idiom for marrying the person or giving up one's body to repay a debt.

    This entire chapter seems so seductive especially with the camera man focusing on the aka korean phrase "skinship" omoooooo ... lol.

    #1 - during chaotic times, you need to use people based on talent and not morals. Yang Xiu is exceptionally smart and rare.

    #2 - Yang Xiu can suppress internal opposition because he is the son of Yang Biao, the leader of Han loyal officials.

However, in a few moments, Yang Xiu will know what just had happened and Sima Yi must now run to Xun Yu house to the next strategy. Yang Xiu in a few moments did exactly as Sima Yi predicted

    27:00
    Sima Yi tells Xun Yu that if Yang Xiu has the edict, he will sacrifice others to save himself or bring others down if he needs to. Yang Xiu is also a master at imposing other people's handwriting and copying Xun Yu's handwriting to Yang Xiu is very easy. Do you think Yang Xiu will do anything to you?

    29:23
    Yang Xiu comes telling that Xun Yu might be in trouble and he laughs at the idea. Yang Xiu argues that Xun Yu knows who the Han loyalist are and does not go to tell Cao Cao.

    Quick Summary

    There is a lot going on in this first chapter so it is a bit long. The other summaries will be much shorter

    2:08
    This story starts during the last years of the Han Dynasty. During this time, civil examinations do not exist and scholars depends on high lord's appraisal. One of the most famous appraisal events, Yue Dan Review, occurs the first day of each month.

    7:40
    Doctor Hua Tuo, who just finished helping Sima Yi's family give birth, was summoned to see Grand Minister Cao to treat his severe migraines. The doctor informed the minister that there are 2 treatment options. He can perform a skull surgery (crazy idea at the time) or he can reside in the country side to heal peacefully for 10 years. Cao Cao instantly was angered as the doctors words were the same as his political opposition. He imprisoned the doctor and asked for an aggressive investigation. The king receives a report that Dr. Hua Tuo is imprisoned. He is now firm on his decision to eliminate Minister Cao.

    Cao Cao wants to break traditions and start gathering people based on talents. This was met with opposition that this will only attract inferior people who only have short term selfish interests. In the past, they only hire based on respect and prestige the person has gathered. Cao Cao asked the official what is the meaning of virtue (behavior conduct)? Virtue means to not let his soldiers to die in vain, to allow citizens to sleep knowing that they are safe, and not letting citizens starve.

    He finds the talents they gathered are hypocritical. They are people who does nothing all day except speak. To identify new talents, Cao Cao instructs the officials to announce that those who wish to seek a position should attend the next Yue Dan Review and demonstrate themselves. This event is judged by Yang Xiu and Yang de, who are the sons of Sima Fang's best friend official.

    17:44
    Offical Sima Fang and Official Yang cancels the marriage plans in which a Yang's daughter will marry to Sima Fang's son. This was to ensure safety of the two family. Currently there is plan to kill Cao Cao, and if the plan fails, Cao Cao will be identifying everyone that was part of the edict of the belt. If he finds one family, the other family will be exposed too because they are in-laws. That way not all of the King's loyal officials are destroyed.

    18:19
    Cao Cao speaks with his trusted advisor. He wants to take Yue Dan Review as an opportunity to lure his political opposition to attack him. That wasy he can put down the internal issues and focus on the approaching battle with Yuan Shao forces. Everyone finds out Dr. Hua has been killed and Sima Fang is startled.

    23:43
    The King's general and team devises a plan to assassinate Minister Chao. They expect Cao Cao to be undercover standing in the crowd at Yue Dan Review, and will position assassins in the crowd. However, he usually brings an army due to his suspicious nature. To prepare for a backup plan, the concubine's father volunteered to lead the assassins. If he fails, Cao Cao will immediately enter the palace to see his daughter. They will plan for a second ambush when his guards are down as he will believe all the assassins are dead.

    The official notice of breaking the marriage arrives. Upon listening to the scroll, the Sima brothers find it humiliating that Yan Xiu used one of the reason to annul the marriage was that his little brother has not proven himself with success. Offended, Sima Yi cannot tolerate such insult and makes his little brother bring his scroll to the Yue Dan Review (judged by Yan Xiu) to prove his abilities.

    28:00
    Yue Dan Review is introduced with Minister Chao's son, Zi Huan, saving the sister of Sima Yi's wife.

    31:50
    Yang Xiu starts off reviewing the first scholar from Dong Ping, Liu Zhen. Liu Zhen asked Yan Xiu to review his poetry and Yan Xiu doesn't even read it and starts reviewing because he has already read his work. He thinks his poetry's message is clear and written in a refreshing way. However, it's too intense/strong with parts that are not perfected. His poetry is 2nd class. First class qualities is like the poetry of Minister Cao and his son.(This is him sucking up to Minister Cao and announcing his will to be on their side) Their poetry brings traditions, strong, and can swallow the earth.

    Next on stage is Sima Fu. He asked Yan Xiu's review on his response essay to the Shang Shu (Book of History - the time before Confucious). Yan Xiu refuses to review as he believes the Shang Shu contains a fake passage, and his response is useless as the passage is fake because last year, notable scholar, Zheng Xuan announced the passage titled You Xian You Yi De is fake. Sima Fu says that the passage was there for a long time, and Yang Xiu laughs that it can't possibly be that Zheng Xuan is wrong. He invites Sima Fu to come again when he has another work to show.

    Sima Yi, angered by the 2nd insult from Yang Xiu and understands his brother's passive nature in not wanting to argue, steps up to defend his brother and ask whether virtuous and notable scholars do not have mistakes? Yang Xiu asked Sima Yi to explain. Sima Yi starts off saying Sima Qian and Zheng Xuan are great/virtuous but it's possible they can also make mistakes.

    Sima Yi starts off saying Yang Xiu is not wrong. I do not think Sima Qian should not mix the topic of "A Virtuous Person has a Moral" with Yingao (a passage about Yi Yin's aid to the king of Shang Dynasty). Zheng Xuan says that the problems (lost/fake) with "Yingao" does not necessarily mean "Virtuous Person Has A Moral" passage is also a problem (lost/fake). This assumption is too careless. Yang Xiu ask him where did his reasoning come from.

    Sima Yi continues and says that Sima Qian and Zheng Xuan are masters of virtues, but masters can make mistakes. "Virtuous man with a moral" says that fate is not consistent (uncertain), and rulers should always practice virtues/morals in order to protect the throne. Those who stop will lose their throne. This is Confuscious's Chun Qiao's passage principal/meaning/point and also the main message of Shang Shu.

    Yang Xiu argues just because their points are similar, does not mean it is part of the original text. Just looking at the principles that are similar is not a good way to study either. He compliments Sima Yi's determination to learn, but learning about governing & politics needs a lot of lessons/knowledge. Although you cannot just use memory and have to be innovative, you shouldn't just follow any opinions either. Thank you for your advise. I believe in this chaotic world, many scripts were lost I am learning so that I can from these remaining scripts find the missing meanings and practice the Sheng Xian's studying approach to help the nation with strategies. It's not to have debates with each other and attack. This passage can advise the king and teach the commoners. Then it should be left in the books. How can you say it is useless work? The rights and wrongs of knowledge is not just about the grammar but more about the approach/attitude.

    Minister Cao is ambushed but his army eliminated the assassins and captures the leader who is the King's concubine's father. Minister Cao instructs to bring the father into the palace to ask the concubine and the king what is going on. An official advises Cao Cao to not stir up too much trouble and harm the king. Let's not give the enemy, Yuan Shao, an advantage. Minister Cao purposely did this to subside internal political turmoil so he can focus on Yuan Shao.

    About Cao Si Kong's sickness (This is Cao Cao from the period of warring state)
    it is not that it cannot be healed
    As long as I can use a knife and open skull
    and take out what's causing his migraines
    The people who wants my head
    is not only just you (joke)
    If Si Kong does not dare to have surgery
    then we only have one way
    withdraw from society to a live secretly in a forest with rivers
    and away from matters that causes headaches
    in a clean fresh air, just focus on healing the brains. (clean our his worries)
    10 years later
    you will recover completely
    the central country is in chaos
    the duke (high government offical) is rising/revolting
    Yuan Shao lured a million solders down south
    a huge war is ahead
    you want me to withdraw from society to forest & rivers?
    Hua Shen Yi
    this is brilliant
    doctors have a parent's loving heart
    Cao Min (this peasant) is here to save Si Kong's life
    save my life?
    if i do not withdraw from society
    does Hua Shen Yi have another way to heal me
    is it a sharp knife
    or poison
    I already know there are many who do not know their rightful place
    so it's this type of tactic
    Cao Min(I, peasant) in this world only has one responsibility
    I only know how to heal sickness
    Si Kong is the hero on this world
    are you really afraid of just a small medical knife?
    someone come
    put Hua Tuo in jail, and investigate harshly
    TAKE HIM DOWN!
    HARSHLY INVESTIGATE!
    yes
    if mental worries are not cured, hundreds of sickness are hard to eliminate

    10:30
    Si Kong
    Hua Tuo has the name of miracle doctor (to be known as)
    should we...
    strictly investigate and his people in contact
    to see who he saw in Xu Du city (they are currently in Xu Dao city)
    and for what purpose
    Si Kong take care
    Chen (I, your subject) will go investigate

    11:08
    I heard he imprisoned Hua Tuo
    Reporting to Bi Xia (title of king)
    Criminal Cao is always highly suspicious and cruel
    Hua Tuo only advised him to withdraw from society
    and ended in such evil scheme
    If he finds out about the edict of the belt, then what should we do?
    will he kill you all?
    and depose zhen (I, king)
    Bixia (king title) do not be scared
    Hua Tuo is someone with kindness and righteousness
    he will not betray the king
    unreliable!
    general, don't forget
    Xiao Shi House's people's method to make people confess
    is very powerful
    Bi Xia (King)
    There's already 10+ officials
    based on the edict of the belt agreement/pact
    secretly gathered hundreds of suicide assassins
    that can act any time
    we cannot allow criminal Cao to continue bully the King
    I don't care anymore!
    I don't want to wait anymore
    general, my family's life
    and Han Dyansty's 400 years of foundation
    is now up to your hands (formal phrase to ask for help)
    general, do not let me down
    12:05

    Right now, Yuan Shao is leading an army down south
    A huge war is approaching

    But the chosen one (king) on the other hand
    and Yuan Shao's notable officials
    such as Yang Biao
    Liu Bei
    Dong Cheng
    Sima Fang
    needs to be strictly and secretly monitored
    yes
