General Shi Yan-sheng: Everyone is having a good time.

Princess Hong-e: Yeah. My brother, whose hands have his brother's blood, is now Emperor. Peace reigns. The people all call him a good monarch.

General Shi Yan-sheng: And the Crown Prince's followers?

Princess Hong-e: Those who rebelled were betrayed, beheaded. Of those who surrendered, many became Generalissimos, singing praises of my brother the Emperor. Huo Da is a grade one Generalissimo. His troops defeated the Eastern Turks. Great exploits, great fame.
