Dun Ruo 頓弱, known as Dunzi 頓子, suggested to the king of Qin 秦 to adopt the title of emperor. To do this, he would have to conquer the states of Han 韓 and Wei 魏. Only with the help of bribes, the other states would allow Qin to conquer the two states. Dun Ruo then traveled to the various states and tried to appease them.
