In this chapter, the narrator explains the meaning of the term "gold piles high" , which means "a thousand gold pieces" . He explains that he wants to become the leader of "the golden turtles," a symbol of the emperor's power. He tells us that only the chancellor can lead the turtles, and the emperor looks favorably upon him to do so. He also tells us about the lushan, a god of war, who came into a conflict with theabbasid troops during the time of the Ming dynasty. The battle of the talas was recorded in the history books as one of the most important battles in Ming history. However, the zhao troops mistook the han troops for their enemy, and fled in defeat. The blade of the han flag is long, straight, and sharp, which makes it look like a traitor. The female prime minister of Ming history, Anxi, was known as the "female prime minister" and managed both government and imperial affairs for many years. She also managed the harem, which is the imperial palace. The emperor of Ming, Xuanzong, has invited the narrator to play a piece of music for him.
