The next day, the emperor learns that the prime minister has told him that he must be killed and that the west tribe can be used to do so. The emperor is shocked and asks what this means. The prime minister tells him that the emperor already knows that there are 50,000 west tribe soldiers at the front lines and that he wants to kill him. He also tells the emperor that he does not want to kill the people of the west because they are corrupt ministers and thieves, but because the emperor is afraid that they will betray the emperor. He asks if the emperor would rather kill one person by mistake than kill a thousand by mistake. He then asks if there is any reason for the emperor to be afraid of the future generations. He says that if there was a problem with the identity of the former emperor, it would be easy for the current emperor to escape, but if there were no problem, then the emperor should not have killed him.
