The prince tells the boy that he is a traitor to tianqiyu and that he dares to bark in front of the king. The prince says that if the boy does not want to kneel and confess his guilt, someone should remove his shackles so that he can speak. He says that he trusts the boy to be a talented person and will not surrender after defeat, but that he will not say a word to the boy. He tells him that the yao clan, which speaks of obedience, has nothing more to do with it than killing those who oppose it. He compares the war emperor of jiuli, who destroyed the gushe country and nearly wiped out its population, to the king of lin, who lost his brother and went to the north and married his daughter. He used the support of his duke dingguo to rise to power.
