Great Qin: His Majesty Is Far Too Overbearing

Modu: "Your Majesty, the Xiongnu wish to forge an everlasting friendship with the Great Qin through marriage and tribute. Could we put down our weapons forever?"

Ying Zheng: "Bring the grasslands as a dowry, or the land will run red with blood."

Ashoka: "First Emperor, don't push us too far. The people of the Maurya Empire will never be slaves!"

Ying Zheng: "I admire your courage. Become a running dog of the Great Qin!"

Caesar: "Romans would rather die on their feet than live on their knees."

Ying Zheng: "You think too much. You'll die on your knees, too."

The Queen: "Brother Zheng, I want to have your babies."

Ying Zheng: "Your bloodline is too lowly. You are fit only to be my plaything."
