In this short scene, the young man, disguised as the empress's son, tries to convince the emperor that he is a good person. The empress did not trust him because she feared that he would seize power. The young man says that he wants to stay at home to raise his family and that the emperor should not worry about him because he has made great achievements. He says that one day, when his ambitions rise, he will be more afraid of the emperor than of gong-jue.
