In this chapter, the wang and shi characters are introduced. The wang character is a domesticated animal, and the shi character is another name for a hog. The name wang indicates that the person the king is asking about is a "domestic animal," and the name shi indicates that he is a divine being. The king's wife is sick, and he is worried about her. He asks the little palace maid to wait for him, even if it is just a corpse. She tells him that the emperor's illness is getting worse, and that the government affairs cannot deal with it. He tells her that if the matter is not urgent, he can write a report for the lords to discuss their merits and deeds. The palace maid informs him that there has been a riot at the prison camp. Some prisoners of the tang state have spread rumors that the general has already died at the battle at Mohe, and they have instigated the prisoners' camp to kill the way out. The general is not there, and should they just stand idly by and let the situation get out of hand? They should kill the prisoners. They should raise a sword and kill one of the prisoners on the battlefield, but it turns out that they are no different from a beast. He is a guardian of the divine palace, and if he were to be killed, he would not be able to live.
