In this short scene, we learn that the new regent of the People's Republic of China, Lin Jingping, is in charge of the corruption case against the current emperor, and that he hopes that the case will be closed soon. The new regent tells his uncle that he has been appointed by the emperor as the heir to the throne, but that he will not be allowed to do so unless he stage a coup against the emperor. The uncle is shocked at the news, and he accuses the regent and the general of colluding in a "muong ling," or rebellion. The regent tells the uncle that his father gave him the title of regent because he fought his way into the emperor's service at the age of 13, and he has killed more enemies than anyone else in the history of the world. He also says that the northern garrison will be sent immediately, and the patrol battalion will also be sent to the capital. He says that he is not interested in mortal power, but if the uncle is going to harm him, then he will teach him a lesson.
