“Chengdi ordered Chu Yun executed.”

​How many dead people do you see a day?

​Hundreds. Some of my best friends are dead people. I’m really good friends with this Chinese man, Liu Kang.

​Don’t know him.

​He was the father of Han Yuandi.

​Don’t know him either.

​Do you know Guo Shengtong?

​No, should I?

​She was the wife of Guang Wudi of the Eastern Han dynasty?

​Not ringing any bells. You communicate with anyone not from the Han Dynasty?

​What about Chu Yun?

​Nope.

​He was a minor official who asked Han Chengdi to dismiss corrupt officials. Instead, Chengdi ordered Chu Yun executed. Chu Yun hung on to a balustrade and one of Chengdi’s generals offered to be killed in Chu Yun’s place. Chengdi spared Chu Yun’s life.

​Are you ok? Do you want me to call someone?

​Shang Yang said you’d say that.

​Shang Yang?

​He was the chief minister of Qin Shihuangdi’s grandfather.

​Oh for crying out loud.
