Faithless and ungrateful!

You coward, bah!

Without me, you'd have died long ago!

How did I rely on you?

You r*ped that woman.

I cleaned the mess.

Shut up!

Who did he r*pe?

The woman from Junlai Village, Zhao Rulan!

So Master Zhuo wasn't deceived.

Truth has been revealed.

How foolish.

You did it on purpose.

You tricked me!

Yes.

So what?

Didn't you admit it personally?

Your Majesty,

the facts are already clear.

Master Zhuo was not deceived.

He knew Luo Fuhai r*ped Zhao Rulan,
accepted bribes and fabricated evidence,

causing Junlai Village people
to storm the yamun in anger.

Then he used this as a reason to impose severe
and malicious penalties.

He k*lled 36 lives without hesitation!

That was utterly audacious.

Your Majesty,

I request to remove

Zhuo Minghua from his position,

and execute him by dismemberment!

How dare you!

What would I not dare?

Move without permission,

I will k*ll you.

Let me go!

You ungrateful thing.

My family fed you!
How dare you treat me like this?

Cousin,

save me!

It is well known

Zhuo Minghua is the Master Zhuo's cousin.

But surely,

about Zhuo Minghua's serious crime,

Master Zhuo was unaware.

Master Zhuo is altruistic,

and unselfish.

I wish to take the Master Zhuo's advice.

Master Zhuo, what do you think
about this case?

Your Majesty, do what's right for you.

I have no objection.

I declare the verdict.

Luo Fuhai,

beheading.

Zhuo Minghua,

death by dismemberment!

On what ground can you sentence me?

And Zhuo Shangxian, you old guy!

How dare you not help me?

I did so much for the Zhuo family!

Zhuo Shangxian, let me tell you this.

I still got your secrets...

I said,

move without permission,

you will be k*lled without mercy.

Your Majesty,

Master Zhuo, Zhuo Minghua defied his superior,

and intended rebellion.

I have ex*cuted him.

The case of Junlai Village

is closed.

Guards,

drag Zhuo Minghua out.

Junlai Village,

also known as Widow Village.

This case

almost led to the destruction
of the entire village.

They lived difficult lives
and were heavily oppressed.

But they tried so hard to live better.

Even when pushed
into such a desperate situation,

they never thought of leaving this place

called Widow Village.

Why?

Because the world is vast,

but there was no place for them.

Because no matter where they go,

they couldn't have their own land.

Because they

simply had no choice.

I

do not want such things to happen again.

I

want to give those who endure similar
hardships a choice.

I

will issue a new policy.

From today onward,

we will establish women's households.

Women can be the head of the household.

They can own land under their name.

No different from men!

Your Majesty,

please listen to me.

A woman obeys her father at home,

her husband when married,
and her son when her husband dies.

This has been an unchangeable rule
since ancient times.

A woman being the head
of the household is truly absurd.

In this world,

the vast sunlight and rainwater

nourish all living beings,

both male and female.

This means

every being in the universe has a place.

From ancient times to the present, all beings

are born from a mother.

This is an eternal truth.

Sir,

the sages taught you how to govern.

Your teachers taught you
to know honor and shame, but who

gave you the ears to listen and learn?

Who

gave you the mouth to debate?

Who

molded you with a spine
that does not fear my wrath!

Sir,

you stand in my great hall,

talking about ancestors
and the principles of this world.

But that's wrong.

What you should talk about

is the tombstone of your mother
that only bears her husband's surname,

and her lifetime of suffering
that no one cares about.

It is you

who harmed the dignity of your mother!

Your homes

are not only yours,

but also theirs.

Announce my decree.

From today onwards,

women can be the head of the household

and the leader of the family.

Your Majesty is wise!

Your innovation will bring benefit to the world,

blessings to all people.

A new decree has been issued.

You and Tudou

can live a good life now.

You'll be safely escorted back.

Go.

[Ning Wu,]

[why standing there?]

[Come join the fun!]

Come on.

Come play in the water!

Come over!

Come on!

Come on!

Come over!

Come over!

Come play in the water!

Come play!

[Ladies,]

[rest in peace.]

The new policy is really good!

What's the point?

He offended Master Zhuo.

This emperor likely won't reign long.

Stop.

Got it.

Huo Zheng handled the case well.

From this day onwards,
Huo Zheng is promoted to Left Chief Censor

to supervise decree implementation.

Your Majesty,

Huo Zheng is just a seventh-rank
Hanlin Academy editor.

The Left Chief Censor
is a second-rank position.

Such rapid promotion

is unprecedented.

I fear it's inappropriate.

Your Majesty,

I am unworthy of this honor.

There's one charge against Zhuo Minghua
that has not been mentioned.

Huo Zheng!

I have defied the imperial will,

the crime is unforgivable.

I am following my mentor's example.

Advise with my own life.

You...

Bring it here!

These are the account books obtained
from Zhuo's Mansion.

The quantity is shocking.

Based on this quantity alone, one can imagine

how much wealth Zhuo Minghua
has secretly amassed.

I found

these funds flowing to one person.

The Imperial Advisor
of Great Ning, Zhuo Shangxian!

Your Majesty, I humbly request
to investigate the accounts,

and eliminate the parasites

utterly!

Your Majesty, please investigate!

Your Majesty, please investigate!

Master Huo is indeed good with words.

Parasites?

Are you referring to me?

You are making baseless accusations.

What is your intention?

To cleanse the eunuch faction,
and rectify the government!

You truly are righteous and dignified.

Since the time of the late emperor,

I've served with all my heart,

always thinking of the realm.

Now,

a greenhorn who's
barely been here a few years

is allowed to frame me.

I'd like to ask,

what exactly are your intentions?

Your Majesty,

what do you intend to do?

Master Zhuo,

you act with integrity

and have a clear conscience.

You should fear no investigation.

You want to investigate me?

This matter is just Master Huo's
unfounded claim.

Who has seen

these fabricated account books?

I'd like to see

that besides Master Huo,

who else wants to investigate.

Huting Army!

Yes!

Master Zhuo,

how dare you threaten His Majesty
with military force?

This is rebellion!

Master Pei,

where is the Yilin Army?

Stationed in the north of the city.

Someone says I am rebelling.

Master Pei, do you want to eliminate me,

the rebel in Master Huo's words?

Master Zhuo, stop joking.

Your loyalty and patriotism
are renowned worldwide.

These account books

are just waste paper.

Fire.
