one day, we could ask him
to be the teacher of our prince
I have already promised him 60,000 stones of corn
every year!
Please be seated, Master
Our Lady would be here soon
Your humble servant Kong Qiu greets Our Lady
Are you the famous scholar Kong Qiu?
Scholar Kong, please be seated.
Thank you, our Lady
I have heard one of your axioms is
"true benevolence is the love of mankind"
Does this "benevolence"
extend to a woman with a repulation like mine?
I heard that you are teaching "The Book of Odes" here
Yes, I am
I also love poetry
There is one poem
Beauty is what a gentleman seek out for
Could you tell me what that means?
The poem means
"Even while courting, a gentleman observes all proprieties"
Of the 300 poeams in "The Book of Odes"
All 300 pieces, we could use one sentence to explain
In true love, there is no evil
Since I was a child, I have taken a liking to poetry
Will you take me as your student?
I have taken on a new student in Wei,
his name is Bu Shang
Although still quite young, he is some sort of prodigy
While studying "The Book of Odes" under me,
he was shown much insight
So I humbly recommend that he becomes your study-companion
Our Ministers consider your theories
of civilty in government to be impracticable
Do you truly beleive they can work?
Ruling with civilty will benefit the state, its community,
and its people
Why couldn;t be out into practice?
Without civilty, a state will descent into chaos
It is human nature to be lascivious and greedy.
and will rage wars to these ends
Since this is human nature
it will be quite a task to overcome them
Then it will be the true measure
of a gentleman's worth
Master, do you really beleive a gentleman?
should carry himself as someone
with high morality standard?
And all this seems to be really important to you?
It is my belief that when one is converted to
a life of civilty in the morning, he wouldn't mind
to give up his life
Teacher, will you stay longer in our country
so we can meet again?
That would not be convenient
How so? Why inconvenient?
For I have never encountered anyone
who loves a little virtue as much as
love worldly beauties
Worldly people could probably come to understand
the master's sufferings,
But few will ever truly grasp
the depth and breath of those sufferings...
It seems we should leave Wei now
Why's that?
This land will soon descend into chaos
Worldly people could probably come to understand
the master's sufferings,
But few will ever truly grasp
the depth and breath of those sufferings...
Scholar Kong is there, let's go and take a look at him
Commander Huan Kui have order
Kong Qiu must leave Song.
Second bow, third bow ...
Teacher, you may commence your class
Poetry, books, ethics, musics,
these must be studied by all gentlemen
So today we start to study together
Duke should treat their minister with courtes
and minister serve their Duke with loyalty
If our belief is based on love to our parents and the emperror
The the world would be harmonious
Take it simply, we could serve our parents well
we could placate our neighbor countries
including name of birds, animals and plants
This is the order of Commander Huan Kui
Get out of Song
Stop
Trees are going to fall. Watch out!
Teacher, let leave here quickly
Teacher, let's go
Excuse me master, which way to the river crossing?
The river crossing?
Who's that man sitting on the cart?
He is scholar Kong
Scholar Kong?
The famous scholar Kong Qiu from Lu?
Indeed!
Itsn't he suppossed to know everythings?
Then he should know where the river crossing is
Would it better for you to stay here and farm
rather than drifting around with him
and you could also stay away from the chaos
That's right! Stay here and be a farmer!
That's right! Stay here and be a farmer like us
No work, no one food
Please stay here
Let's go
Move on, we'll ask for the direction later
Fei, is there any news of Kong Qiu?
They say spent some time in Wei
then went to Zheng and now in the Kingdom of Chen
When the country at war, we miss the good generals
and when the country is in the difficult time,
we miss our great minister
At that year when we talked about the alliance with Qi
Kong Qiu won back the three city peacefully
But we sent him into exile
It is now clear we were misguided by the Qi
Now that the Duke of Lu is dead,
and a child has inherited his throne
Qi wants to take this opportunity to invade us
Our strength is no longer what we used to be
If we go into war, we are lack of good commander
Now I have a mission for you
Bring Kong Qiu back to Lu!
Father, we treated him bad!
and force him into exile
If we are going to invite him back
People will mock at us
Why don't we invite his disciple Ran Qiu back first?
He is the head pupil of Kong Qiu,
and a proven capable commander
He would be more than capable to confront the Qi Army
That would be fine. Let's invite Ran Qiu back at once
Wake up! Quick!
Teacher, wake up, something terrible happens
The Wu is invading Chen, we must leave at once
Have you seen an old foreigner?
A stranger is outside the city's eastern gate
Qi's army is at the doorsteps of Lu
Teacher
Master Ji ask for your consent to allow Ran Qiu
return to fight for Lu
Master
For the sake of Lu, you must consent
Teacher, we must not let Ran Qiu go
Only when they are in trouble,
Remember how terrible they have treated us
How did you find me?
An old farmer told us
he has seen a foreigner at the east side
A forehead resembles King Yao's
shoulders looks like Zichan's
Had the air of an important man,
but looked as scaggy as a stray dog
We guessed it must be you
I don't dare to be an important person
and actually I don't resemble anyone famous
The old farmer got it just right when he said of
a stray dog though!
Teacher, you have taugh us to practice what we learn
and our motherland is in peril
The Prime Minister is asking Ran Qiu to return ...
That proves it is a matter of life and death for Lu
As natives of Lu, we cannot just standby and watch
Well said, Yan Hui
Lu is in danger, I should allow you to return
and save Lu from disaster
Ran Qiu
You should go
I will wait for the good news
Teacher, once the battle is won
I will come and bring you back to Lu
Kill 'em
Greetings, Prime Minister
Father
General has lived up to our hope
He has defeated the Qiu Army at the battle of Lang
The Qi Army has retreated back to their side of the border
I won't disappoint you
I would petition the King to appoint you governor
Prime Minister, this is not what I wish for
I only have one simple request
Speak
He has been wandering for many years
without a home and just continue teaching
But there has never been a moment
when the Kingdom of Lu wasn't in his mind
