Naked Empire pg. 394-423

Zed and Adie have finally made it to the Imperial Order camp after their capture. Zed and Adie have received little water and food to this point and are struggling to make it along. Zed realizes that thing from the Wizard's keep have be taken with them, and comprehends the destruction they can cause when use properly or improperly, and the threat they represent in the Imperial Order's hands. Zed and Adie are then taking in front of the Emperor Jagang. Although the Imperial Order teaches self-sacrifice, the gift is corrupt evil, how all men are evil and unredeemable, and people are old worth what they can contribute to the group, Jagang throne room contradicts each of these teachings.
I think this is meant to show normally which you go to a radical idea there are many inconsistence in what they say and actually preform.Being radical may help win support through powerful rederick, but it is impractical to be so radical most of the times that they compromise their ideas to have an enjoyable life, or a function life. In this case there it is impossible for everyone to be equal because we need some people to do menial jobs which most people would consider unequal to many other jobs.
Jagang demands that Zed tell him the function of the items in the Wizard's Keep so he can use them in the assault of D'Hara, and when Zed refuses, he decides to not torture Zed directly, but make him witness other captured people of the land of D'Hara tortured until he will speak. After describing his torture, he makes an interesting contradiction saying that because he will eventually reveal his secrets because his heart is cold where quite the opposite is true.
