In this chapter, we learn that the new emperor has not yet claimed himself to be the emperor of the Dajing empire. The neighboring countries are busy preparing for war with the former emperor. The huns, who are now allies with the zhuoyue, are also preparing to attack the empire. . The emperor asks the emperor to give him 5000 kg of silver and 1,000 baskets of grains. He says that he will go to the king of the yue to persuade him not to attack. The identity of the emperor is revealed. He is chuling, a member of a small clan in the north. The elder of the clan has entrusted him with the task of bringing back the descendant of his family who is now under the emperor's control. The commander of the northern province is considering whether or not to allow the descendant to meet with the emperor, but he has to decide whether to let the descendant meet with him or not. The descendant is not angry, and the emperor smiles at him. He has good news for the emperor: one of his own family members has arrived in the capital.
