Recently our reporter George Wood was able to interview Emperor Qin. This is how it went.....
George- Mr. Qin, may I call you that?
Emperor Qin- No, Emperor Qin only.
G- O.K how about King Qin.
EQ- No, just Emperor Qin
G- Alright, shall we get started?
EQ- That's why I am here is it not?
G- Were you born into power?
EQ- Born into power? I am power! I rule and no one else deserves to!
G- Calm down, I meant were you born with wealth?
EQ- We had a solid fortune however I didn't begin my life as royalty.
G- Did you ever find the elixir you searched for?
EQ- Yes, I am here now aren't I?
G- Yes, but your dead.....
EQ- Oh my, I guess those pills were poison....
G- You mean the mercury pills?
EQ- Yes! those horrible things!
G- So on to a more, um.... alive topic.
EQ- Did I say so?
G- No.... I didn't think I needed your permission?
EQ- Well you do!
G- O.K what do you want to talk about?
EQ- Something more vibrant and active.
G- O.K how about your brilliant idea to create a universal coinage.
EQ- Oh, yes! My favorite. Everything needed to be approved by me, and every coin needed to be equal. Everything needs to be equal. This is legalism!
G- Alright sounds good... May I ask one final question?
EQ- You just did!
G- That's not what I...
EQ- Silence now bow to me!
G- And if I say no?
EQ- You don't you just obey, or die!
G- Die????
EQ- Yes, you heard me right! My army will do my bidding!
G- What army yours has been dead for centuries?
EQ- This one:
G- you mean the decaying clay one?
EQ- I'll have you know that its been well preserved and serves me quite well in the afterlife!
G- so you knew you were dead?
EQ- I can't die i am immortal!
G- Here we go again....
EQ- NO, we don't "go again" i order you to stop.
G- Why should I?
EQ- Go sit in that corner!
G- I can't its not on the floor!
EQ- I said sit!
G- I can't.
EQ- I demand you sit or you will be even more severely punished.
G- No.
EQ- So be it.....
George- Mr. Qin, may I call you that?
