About This Chapter
The chapter opens with a quote from the Book of Common Prayer, which states that all good men and women should be benevolent and kind to the world. This is a reference to the idea of a benevolent king, a benevolent emperor, and a virtuous king. The king should be kind and benevolent, the emperor should be good, and the people should live in peace and harmony. In other words, the king should make the world a better place. The chapter ends with a soliloquy by Confucius, in which he says that all saints are good and evil. He says that if a king is benevolent, then he must be good and bad, as for yin-zhou, he should be bad and good. Confucius also says that a king must be benevolent because he rebelled against nature and killed wise people, and caused harm to the people. The narrator then tells us that this is a good prophecy for the future, as there is hope for the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Emperor's mother begs him to let her go to save her son. She says that she wants to be with her son forever, and she begs the Ming Emperor to allow her to go. She weeps at the thought that her son must die for her. She begs the emperor to let the boy go one more time to save his mother. The boy says that he wants to die for his mother, and he begs the king to let him go. He asks the king why he doesn't love and adore his mother more than his father does. The emperor says that his father loves and adores his mother the most, and that he loves his son more than anyone else. He weeps again, and asks the emperor why he didn't let him out of the house. The son says that the desert is famous for
