The next morning, the Ming family wakes up in the middle of the night to find the Ming king sitting in his palace. The Ming king tells his wife that he's tired and wants to get her out of the room. He tells her to wake up cheng wang and take care of his wife. He also tells her that he doesn't have enough money to support the Ming government. He says that the emperor has some money, but he can't use it for military purposes. He's already spent all his savings to buy munitions for the Ming army. He wants to send some royal guards in disguise to steal money from the Ming household. The narrator says that he likes the idea of sending royal guards disguised as monks to rob the household. He feels that the author is torturing the monk. He thinks that the monk will eventually commit treason and that the narrator will have to torture him to get him to commit the same thing.
