Prince Baili Jing, known as the Third Prince, is famed for refinement and courtesy. He is accused by the Crown Prince of having close ties with Deputy General Zheng Bin, who oversees grain dispatches. The Third Prince defends himself, stating his frontier inspection was by imperial command and that gifts from Zheng Bin were merely courtesies recorded for the emperor's inspection. His faction stirs uneasily during the accusation.
