Description:
Told with a playful, dramatized flair, the story unfolds during the reign of Emperor Kang Xi. For years the Yellow River has been flooding, and to understand the hardships of his people, the emperor (Zhang Guo-Li) travels south to Jiangnan in disguise, setting off a series of remarkable and legendary tales. The first season is made up of four stories: "The Plowshare," "The Bronze Cauldron," "Eight-Treasure Porridge," and "Purple Clay."
"The Plowshare": The magistrate of Wulian County, Luo Shi-Zhang, secretly distributes the tax grain from the storehouse, drawing Kang Xi's attention. Show more Behind the incident lies the truth that disaster victims keep multiplying while loyal officials conceal it from the throne, so Emperor Kang Xi decides to take matters into his own hands. "The Bronze Cauldron": By chance, Emperor Kang Xi catches a young eunuch stealing a bronze cauldron, and the eunuch bites off his own tongue and kills himself. The strangeness behind this drags out a vast web of connections that leaves the emperor deeply shocked. "Eight-Treasure Porridge": Traveling incognito, Emperor Kang Xi arrives in Suzhou and notices that the owner of a porridge shop has changed his signboard, leaving the character for "porridge" missing the character for "rice." Realizing that Suzhou is far from peaceful, Kang Xi buys the porridge shop to investigate and takes on the role of its owner himself. "Purple Clay": The foreign minister Nan Huai-Ren accidentally smashes a purple clay teapot and happens to see several lines of text carved on the shards, text that contains a hidden grievance.
