Chi Fu brings out two large bronze disks. Shang takes out one disk and holds it high speaking to all the troops This represents discipline Shang hands the weight to Yao and the weight falls to the ground taking Yao's arm with it and this represents strength Shang hands the other weight to Yao making him fall to the ground.

She will never be worth anything. Shang grabbing Chi Fu by the shirt collar Listen, you pompous-- Emperor walking down the steps That is enough! Shang Your Majesty, I can explain. The Emperor motions for Shang to stand aside. Shang and his men part giving the Emperor a clear path to Mulan. Mulan steps forward and bows before the Emperor. Chi Fu with a sinister look waits to write down the words of the Emperor Emperor I've heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan. You stole your father's armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinese army, destroyed my palace, AND...you have saved us all. the Emperor bows to Mulan Chi Fu looks at the Emperor actions astonishingly then immediately falls prostrate before Mulan. Shang, Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po follow suit.
