In this chapter, we are introduced to the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China, a man who is considered to be a close relative of the Emperor. The Prime Minister tells the audience that the Emperor's son, Prince Peng, has been killed by the traitors, and that the country is at the service of the King and his family. He asks the audience to believe that he is telling the truth when he says that Prince Peng will never die. The audience is shocked to learn that the King's sons are traitors and must be arrested.
