Chapter 335: Tiger Minister

    

this. This allowed him to maintain relatively adequate resources for his cultivation even while living in hiding.> I'll wait until I've perfected my secret needles. He thought again.But he was refuse...The whole world is paying attention to the Yellow River Convergence.

As for all the countries who aspire to participate in the Yellow River Assembly, the contestants from the world's six major powers are naturally a focal point of attention.

But the world is so vast, not all countries have the intelligence capacity to observe what's happening everywhere.

In a certain sense, intelligence capability is also a manifestation of national strength.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Chen Zeqing of the State of Qi was able to know the troops sent by Qin, Chu, and Jing very well. Even down to the specific details of a battle, as long as it was information that had been displayed in front of people, he could gather and restore it... This itself shows the strength of the State of Qi.

For a country like the Zhuang nation, which is transitioning from a small to a regional power, its military strength might have caught up partially. However, its intelligence capabilities focused on world affairs are not something that can be achieved overnight.

This requires a long time to build.

In fact, Chuang Guo obtains a lot of information about various places in the world from Jing Guo or Yu Jing Mountain.

Today's Emperor Zhuang is an ambitious man, and Prime Minister Zhuang is also a talented individual who spared no effort. Naturally, they are not content with this.

But to be honest, with Chu's current strength, it would be extremely difficult to extend their intelligence system to the East Region.

Being able to get news a little faster, such as "Qi extinguished Yang. The fierce general Qiu Sha led the Autumn Killing Army into battle, and Yang Jiande died for his country," or "Qi Xia fought at Sword Peak Mountain"...

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In short, it's just a general idea.

Compared to the State of Jing, the State of Zhuang definitely received much simpler and later information.

And even among the vassal states, Zhuang Guo was not the most obedient... Zhuang Chengqian was known in his day for being ruthless and heartless. Even now, Zhuang Gaoxian is no pushover either.

So, in terms of intelligence gathering, Zhuang State also lagged behind other states under the Dao.

Formerly, the intelligence work of Zhuang Guo was handled by Deputy Prime Minister Dong A.

>

Since Dong A's death, the position of deputy prime minister has yet to be filled by a suitable successor.

As the last disciple entrusted by him, Li Jianqiu has also been helping with political affairs. Now he is still working with Dong A's former colleagues on some matters.

This was supported by the Minister of State Du Ruhui.

The primary purpose, of course, is to ensure a smooth transition of government affairs. Secondly, it can also be seen as a kind of remembrance for the former vice-premier, so that he doesn't feel like he's been forgotten after leaving office.

No matter what others said, Du Ruhui's favor for Dong A never wavered, and he hoped that the man would become the next prime minister... This was well-known throughout the court.

Of course, many important state affairs can no longer be handled by Li Jianqiu and his team. Although the position of Vice Prime Minister was not reinstated, the responsibilities of the former Vice Prime Ministers have been gradually transferred.

However, during this transitional period, the information about the state of Zhāng from outside its borders is currently being handled by Lí Jiànqiū.

Speaking of responsibility, it's just talk...

Because the State of Chu had no intelligence capabilities beyond its western borders.

At this moment, Li Jianqiu was walking in the Cixin Hall.

This hall was once where Emperor Zhuangming of the Great Zhou Dynasty conducted his official business. The current emperor, perhaps out of nostalgia, often holds court here as well.

Looking at the three generations of rulers in the state of Zhuang, only Emperor Ren could truly be called "benevolent."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In terms of achievements, Emperor Taizu founded the country and established its foundation. Now Emperor Yong reigns supreme, expanding his territory with remarkable success. His accomplishments are truly dazzling.

But to be frank... the emperor always has the people's hearts in mind.

Here is the translation:

After the eunuchs serving in the palace had passed on the message, Li Jianqiu entered the hall.

His peachwood sword was left outside the hall, so his left hip was empty at this moment. On his right hip, he hung a piece of green jade pendant.

As I entered the palace hall, Emperor Zhuang was in discussion with the Grand Minister about something.

Li Jianqiu guarded the rules and did not listen carefully.

When it comes to diligence, apart from the period when he deliberately secluded himself in the depths of the palace, the present Emperor is indeed not inferior to anyone.

In terms of achieving victory through literary prowess, he deserves the title "Heroic Sovereign." He undoubtedly elevated the status and influence of the State of Zhuang with his own hands.

"Autumn has arrived, Sword Autumn" Emperor Zhuang looked at Li Jianqiu and smiled. "What news do you bring"

Du Ruhui also put down the documents in his hand and looked over gently. In the Ci Xin Hall, apart from Emperor Zhuang, only he was allowed to sit.

Before Dong's death, he entrusted his actions to the people. Now, the high-ranking officials of Zhuang Guo are very much in awe of Li Jianqiu.

>

The fact that he was allowed to compete for a spot at the Yellow River Conference before is proof.

However, it will take a lot of time and effort to reach Dong A's level. It is absolutely impossible to even think about taking on the position of vice-phase now.

Du Ruhui had arranged the next task for Li Jianqiu in his heart. It was actually the position of a city lord in Yongchang County, north of Qichang Mountain Range. If he could govern well and pacify the people, his future prospects would be limitless.

Don Agang also "harden" himself at the position of the headmaster of Chengdao Institute before he returned and swiftly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the vice-premier.

The city lord and the head of the City Dao Institute are considered equal in rank. However, when their strengths are comparable, the city lord's position is still slightly higher.

Li Jianqiu's starting point was already stronger than Dong A's.

>

Now, the disciples have inherited their master's legacy and followed in his footsteps, joining in the grand project of building a prosperous nation. Looking back, it will be a tale to tell.

This matter will have to wait until all the affairs of the viceroy's mansion have been transferred before he formally brings it up. However, his private expectations for Li Jianqiu are also evident from this.

The current Zhuang Kingdom, there are signs that powerful cultivators from the outer regions are fading... but the younger generation actually has some talent.

The director of the National Institute of Advanced Studies, Zhang Ren, expressed high expectations for Fu Baosong, a student at the institute.

And because of Dong'a's entrustment before his death, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department and Du Ruhui himself both placed great importance on Li Jianqiu.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Before Zhu Weiwu's betrayal, all high-level executives had been very optimistic about him, except for Dong A. After Zhu Weiwu betrayed the country, Dong A's judgment seemed more convincing.

Then there's Jiāngxiān General Duàn Lí, who practically treats Dù Yěhǔ as his own son. However, given his current state, his words carry little weight.

Bai Yu, the military leader who commands the army, is Helaba Dao, and he didn't even have time to find a successor.

General Huangfu Duanming, by nature, did not display any particular preferences or have any outstanding offspring. He solely followed the orders of the sovereign.

Besides, more people, including the monarch, might be looking forward to Lin Zhengren.

The younger generation of the Zhuang Kingdom, those who will rise to prominence in the future, are probably these few individuals. Of course, Du Yexi can be largely disregarded. This is not only because his supporters have lost influence...

Upon hearing Emperor Zhuang's question, Li Jianqiu bowed and said, "As for the notable opponents to watch out for at the Yellow River confluence, I have already compiled a list. Besides the intelligence provided by the State of Jing, we also have some of our own summaries."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Saying that, he handed her a booklet.

Emperor Zhuang received it and looked at it, saying, "Not easy."

It's indeed not easy. The list Li Jianqiu handed over included participants from the six major powers, as well as countries like Wei, Xia, Qu, and He.

Although the information is mostly incomplete, limited mainly to names and cultivation levels, considering Zhuang Guo's intelligence gathering capabilities outside the Western Region, it's quite impressive that they were able to compile this much.

Li Jianqiu said: "It's within my capabilities, Jianqiu dares not to do his best."

Emperor Zhuang glanced at the document briefly, and was about to hand it to Du Ruhui, but hesitated for a moment.

On the surface, he didn't show any expression. He seemed to ask casually, "This Jiang Wang from Qi State, where does he come from"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Li Jianqiu said with the same expressionless face. "Based on information from Jing Guo, this person should be my junior brother from when I was at the Daoist Academy in Fenglin City."

“Oh. Interesting.” The Emperor Zhuang said lightly, still showing no joy or anger, only passing the intelligence booklet to Du Ruhui: “Prime Minister, take a look.”

Du Ruhui took it calmly, saying, "Jian Qiu, you've worked hard. Go and rest first. After knocking on the Inner Palace just now, you need to consolidate your realm well, don't underestimate it.

"

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern.” Li Jianqiu bowed to Emperor Zhuang once more: “This subject takes his leave.”

Then he turned and left the Tzu-Shin Hall.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After the gaunt figure disappeared outside the hall, Du Ruhui did not immediately talk about the contents of the intelligence booklet. Instead, he casually said: "Regarding the matter in Fenglin City, Dong A didn't hide anything. Between his country and his family, he has made the right choice."

Zhuang Gaoxian remained noncommittal, only saying: "Considering when this Jiang Wang joined Qi, it seems he left Fenglin City just when that incident happened. An ordinary student from a city academy could escape under such circumstances"

>

Du Ruhui was so astute that even mentioning Li Jianqiu could cause a rift with the emperor. A single mention would suffice; carefully weighing the emperor's heart and repeatedly emphasizing it would only lead to his annoyance.

"At this point, following the topic, he said: 'He should be hiding his identity, or perhaps concealing his true strength. He's currently at the Inner Palace realm and participated in the Huang River Assembly. This means he left Fenglin City before the Wu Sheng Wu Mie Array was fully activated. At that time, our attention was focused on the White Bone Daoist, so we overlooked this person.'"

This deduction is simple because a cultivator of the Inner Palace realm couldn't possibly break out of the Formation of Non-Existence and Non-Destruction.

Du Ruhui continued, "Before I speculated that there was still someone alive in Fenglin City, and this person killed Dong A. Now it seems that this person should be Jiang Wang."

Zhuang Gaoxian said only, “If it was he who killed Dong Xiang, then he must have known the truth about Fenglin City.”

“Your Majesty need not worry.” Du Ruhui, of course, understood his emperor student very well, and said softly, “The Battle of Maple Forest was a battle for you to sweep away the cult. Our Zhuang nation is united as one, thwarting the evil god's descent conspiracy. Although there were some casualties, after this battle, the White Bone Dao...

Even if Jiang Wang could now participate in the Yellow River Assembly and compete with the peerless talents of the other countries, even with Qi State backing him, it wouldn't be enough to change the nature of what happened in Fenglin City. That matter is over, gone forever.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhuang Gaoxian naturally understood this truth, but he asked again: “Can we find out about Jiang Wang now Is he a native of Zhuang Guo What is his hidden identity in Zhuang Guo”

Du Ruhui wryly smiled: "Fenglin City is gone, utterly destroyed. Even if we could pull it back from the Nether Rift now, Jiang Wang wouldn't have any evidence to prove the so-called truth. And similarly, at best, we could only glean some basic information from those who had contact with him. It would be impossible to uncover his true identity during that time."

The existence of Jiang Wang can certainly be confirmed. Back at the San Cheng Lun Dao gathering, many people from other cities had met Jiang Wang, especially those cultivators from San Shan City.

In addition, Li Jianqiu also had some contact with Jiang Wang.

But to dig out deeper clues, to know why this person could escape the Fenglin City domain and how they came to know the truth... it's like a madman talking about dreams.

The Fenglin City domain was destroyed too thoroughly. Nothing remained...

"Maple Forest City, Maple Forest City…" Zhuang Gao Xian whispered the two phrases softly. After a moment of thought, he suddenly asked, "Is that Du Yexi still reliable"

Du Ruhui sighed: "Home and country, not everyone can make the choice. Dong'a and Li Jianqiu are already rare. I don't know General Du Yuhou, so I can't help Your Majesty distinguish."

As for the matter of Fenglin City, between Li Jianqiu and Du Yexi, he could only protect one Li Jianqiu.

He is Dong A's last disciple, inheriting the divine power of endless life and carrying on Dong A's ideals. He bears the trust of his people. Such Li Jianqiu, both publicly and privately, he values him greatly.

The information about the meeting of the Yellow River, which both parties have already seen, is now on the case.

Zhuang Gaoxian took the intelligence booklet, handed it casually, and instructed: "Give this piece of intelligence to Lin Zhengren intact, and ask him to ponder it carefully."

Naturally, a young eunuch stepped forward, took the booklet in both hands, and hurried away.

Zhuang Gaoxian smiled at Du Ruhui: "Lin Zhengren has made an agreement with me. This time, I'll see what he can come up with at the meeting of the Yellow River."

"I would not dare to disappoint Your Majesty's expectations." said Du Ruhui.

Zhuang Gaoxian sighed suddenly, then continued the previous topic: “General Du Yexi’s leading the charge at Suolong Pass was a feat by a valiant warrior, a meritorious official of the state.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He said, "It is necessary to be dignified."

This was the end for Tora Duno...

As for whether it was suicide, alcohol poisoning, or an old injury flaring up... I suppose the last one is the most dignified.

At that time, on the battlefield of Zhuang Yong, Zhuang Gaoxian proclaimed Du Yehu. But at that time, Du Yehu did not arrive. However, Zhuang Gaoxian at that time didn't mind Du Yehu's disrespect at all, and still referred to him as a valiant warrior, saying that he should not be blamed.

He had more than enough means to be a wise ruler.

At this time, if Du Yeli had even a sliver of instability, he would not allow this person to continue to hold military power. At the same time, he also wouldn't let this person with a certain foundation in the army leave Zhuang Guo.

This is also the heart of the emperor.

Therefore, barring unforeseen circumstances, Du Yehu's fate was sealed at this point.

In fact, Zhuang Gaoxian doesn't know about Du Yexi and Jiang Wang's past relationship yet. Once he finds out, there probably won't be any "face" left.

After some thought, Du Ruhui decided against dissuading him. He simply said, "I will have someone arrange it."

"Teacher, you arrange it yourself," Zhuang Gaoxian looked at him: "I'm not comfortable leaving this to someone else."

Du Ruhui was just about to reply.

Suddenly, a palace guard rushed in and urgently reported, "Your Majesty! Jiuguan Xuanjia Commander Duan Li has plotted treason. General Du Yehu personally captured him and is currently holding him outside the palace gate!"

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

Zhuang Gao's eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent flashed across his face.

And Du Ruhui was also very ashamed: "What did you say!"

Duān Lí, the general with the Xuanjia armor from Jiāng, was known throughout the land for his loyalty.

>

He and the White Feather Army commander He Ba Dao held off Li Ying, the Duke of Chengde of Yongguo, on the battlefield of Zhuangyong. This gave Emperor Zhuang a chance to kill Han Yin, the Taishang Huang (Retired Emperor) of Yongguo.

After this battle, He Ba died in combat, and Duan Li was deposed.

This glorious deed is known to everyone in the state of Chuang.

How could such a loyal and brave soldier betray his country

How can one betray their country

The imperial guard in front of the palace knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

Fortunately, Du Ruhui quickly restrained his emotions and asked directly: "Which department"

"North... North Gate!" the guard at the palace gate replied.

Upon looking up again, both the Prime Minister and Your Majesty the King were gone.

As the emperor and prime minister, you must always pay attention to your bearing. After all, you are the role model for the people of Zhuang State.

When is it not composed and dignified

When the Zhuang State was weak, Du Ruhui often moved south and north, using his supernatural powers to be in many places at once, like being able to travel vast distances instantly.

Now that Zhuang Yong has achieved victory in this battle, he is no longer as flustered as before.

But no matter what.

>

At last, Duan Li was brought by hand to the Duye Tiger outside Zhuang Wang's palace, and finally met with Emperor Zhuang once more.

Du Yehu, with a full face of thick beard, muscular build, and rough appearance, undoubtedly conforms to people's imagination of a strong man.

...At this moment.

At this moment, he stood silently outside the Zhuang Wang Palace, carrying a section of li.

There is no doubt that it is painful.

In contrast to Duan Li, who was still struggling, his expression looked more hopeless.

When Du Ruhui took a step forward, the figure of the Lord of Zhuang State appeared outside the North Palace Gate.

The Baiyu Army soldiers guarding the palace gates all held their breath and stared intently.

And Du Ruhui first looked at Duan Li. The old chancellor's eyes were filled with a touch of sadness.

“Why” he asked.

Duan Li's throat had been sealed by Du Yehu's true energy, so he hadn't been able to make a single sound before.

And Du Ruhui lowered his voice, with a hint of anger: "Let him speak!"

Then Du Yehǔ released his hand, allowing Duan Lí to fall to the ground.

Duan Li was not bound. Having been reduced to a broken man, he no longer needed restraint. He could not possibly harm the chancellor or Emperor Zhuang—this was precisely why Zhuang Gao and Du Ruhui never considered he would betray his country.

Wouldn't it be nice for a person with no future prospects to enjoy wealth and luxury from now on

Having lost all his cultivation, where could he possibly go He would be finished the moment he encountered a wild beast anywhere.

But Duan Li asked, "Why"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

He looked at Du Ruhui, and then at Zhuang Guoguo behind him, and said with a smile: "You actually asked me why"

"General Duan," Du Ruhui shook his head. "I hope this isn't true."

Duan Li glared venomously at Du Yexi, but Du Yexi stood there with his lifeless gaze, saying nothing.

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

So he turned back and smiled, saying, "No, this is true. I brought the defense map of Yongchang County, I brought the roster of military spies by alias, I brought all the core secrets of Jiujing Xuanjia..."

He roared, "I will take them all to Yong Kingdom!"

All of these things that Duàn Lì had said were now in the hands of a palace guard.

Accompanying this was a nearly destroyed storage chest. From the traces, it seemed that Duan Li wanted to destroy it when he was caught, but was stopped in time...

The one who could stop this, naturally, was only Du Yexiao.

With both physical and eyewitness evidence, it seems that Duan Li at this point is not denying the allegations. Instead, there's a sense that he's acting like a pig unafraid of boiling water.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although it was clear to everyone, Du Ruhui still seemed very unwilling.

He looked at Duan Li with a heavy heart: "General Duan, I didn't expect it... I didn't expect..."

>

"Your Majesty has treated you well enough, hasn't he!"

>

“Although you are disgraced, your position remains intact. You are still the commander of the Jiujing Xuanjia. The Emperor has bestowed upon you new armor and increased your salary by 30%! You should know that today His Majesty was discussing with me the possibility of granting you the title of Earl!!”

If it were a past separation, I would probably be in tears by now.

But now he just wants to laugh.

To deceive your subordinates, to send them to their deaths, is that being kind

The position is still held, but the actual power has been stripped away under the guise of "focusing on health", hasn't it

Give me armor I'm a useless man. What can wearing your bestowed armor do Go to He Ba Dao's grave

As for the so-called discussion of an earldom, wasn't that just Du Ruhui opening his mouth Who the hell knows if you guys even discussed it

The national war ended so long ago, and you're just now saying something about granting titles! Was I being a fool all this time

Duan Li wanted to laugh wildly, he wanted to shout obscenities, but just as expected... he couldn't utter a word.

He not only couldn't speak, but also bowed his head deeply.

And tears have already begun to roll uncontrollably!

It seems he is lost and ashamed!

Meanwhile, Du Ruhui turned away and continued the drama alone.

The Grand Minister, Da Zhuang, bowed before the King and said in a mournful voice: " Duan Li served the country his whole life, but for a moment he was confused! Although he committed an unforgivable crime, old minister begs Your Majesty to spare him, leaving him a complete corpse, and at the same time conceal this matter, so as not to harm his posthumous reputation!"

The King of Dazhuang, sighed deeply: "My Prime Minister is so heartbroken, how can I remain unaffected I agree to your request. Although I will not bestow any further titles or honors upon you, your reputation during your lifetime will not be tarnished. Consider this our bond forged on the battlefield of Zhuang Yong... fulfilling this camaraderie!"

“Your servant thanks you for your grace!” Du Ruhui bowed deeply.

Then he rose, casually drew the sword from a palace guard's belt, strode to Duan Li's side, knelt halfway down, half-supported him, and plunged the blade through his heart!

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

This series of actions was swift and decisive, with a kind of sharp beauty to it.

Here is the translation of your text:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He is a prime minister, he has his dignity and bearing. But when the country needs him to be an executioner, he can be more like an executioner than any other... executioner.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

At this moment, he held Duan Li in his arms and patted her on the back, as a final farewell.

And then let go and get up.

Her hair was neatly combed and stood firm, not wavering in the slightest.

The lifeless corpse, drained of all vitality, slumped to the ground.

No one knows what Duan Li was thinking about in the last moments of his life.

Perhaps... he is truly regretting it!

Only Du Yexiao knew.

He knew this man, who lay on the ground like a dead dog, must have been screaming in his heart before he died—Tohno Tora, you swore it!

So Du Yehu had tears in his eyes, he couldn't stop them.

He had held back from drawing his sword against Du Ruhui, having exerted all of his restraint.

He can no longer hold back his sadness.

Fortunately, Duan Li once said that sadness isn't a problem. The more sincere the emotions, the less of a problem they are.

What else did Duan Li say

Du Yehu thought and thought, finally remembering.

In the depths of hatred and pain, I remembered... the general's entrustment.

"Ah!!"

Du Yexi suddenly roared, his eyes filled with tears: "I, Du Yexi, am a true man of loyalty and righteousness! How can I possibly continue to live when I cannot be both loyal and just!"

He drew his saber, beheaded himself with the reverse grip!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This strike was extremely ruthless and swift, leaving no room for mercy.

He was truly determined to die, intending to commit suicide outside the King's palace!

>

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The military knife cut into the neck, more than halfway through, blood gushing out like a waterfall!

Then, it was seized by a hand.

The emperor Zhuang Gao Xian of the State of Chu extended his hand.

He remained a cold observer until Du Yehu's sword truly came down, and the next breath would have taken his life. Only then did he intervene to block the blade.

Zhuang Gaoxian seized Du Yecho's military saber with his right hand, pulled it lightly, and retrieved the blade.

At the same time, with his left hand he gently stroked, stopping the gushing blood from Du Yexi's throat, closing the wound on his neck.

>

"Foolish!" he shouted angrily.

His fury was evident, and the emperor's might suddenly became clear.

It seemed that Du Yexia's murderous intent had also intimidated him.

>

The man stood there dumbfounded, his eyes filled with tears though he made no attempt to wipe them away.

Du Ruhui couldn't help but admire in his heart, a truly brave general! Truly courageous!

Zhuang Gaoen had taken the sword from Du Yexi's hand, glaring at him with anger and disappointment. "You captured a traitor for the country. You are a loyal soldier of the state! How can you speak of giving up The country raises warriors not to see them commit suicide! A valiant general like you, even if you must die, should die on the battlefield, worthy of your achievements! Don't die here... it would only be a laughingstock!"

Du Yexi still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Du Ruhui knew that this was a man who was not good at expressing himself. So he took a few steps forward and said earnestly, "There are degrees of righteousness. I know that General Duan has always treated you well, but when it comes to the national interest, personal feelings cannot be allowed. Today, by capturing the thief for the country, you are truly acting like a man of valor. This is great loyalty and righteousness, how can it be said that loyalty and righteousness are not both fulfilled I have a good relationship with General Duan from the past, but today I am personally killing him. Should I, like you, commit suicide here"

Du Yehu still didn't speak, but he looked at him with complex emotions in his eyes.

Du Ruhui sighed and patted his shoulder: "Good man. I think General Duan's spirit in heaven wouldn't want you to die so pathetically. He told me more than once that he wanted to hand over the Jiujang Xuanjia to you..."

The old prime minister stopped here, sighing and saying, "His posthumous reputation also needs your protection."

It seemed as if this sentence convinced Du Yexu.

“Grand Tutor, Your Majesty,” Du Yexi’s voice was hoarse, frighteningly so. It wasn’t clear if it was from the pain in his heart or because his throat had just been cut and reattached, making it difficult to speak.

He said, "The tiger has been rude."

The king of Zhuang, as a benevolent ruler ought to be, looked at him with tolerance: “A true gentleman does not dwell on trifles. I see your sincerity, but not disrespect.”

Du Yehu lowered his head and whispered, "I... I... don't know what to say."

“There’s nothing more to be said.” Zhuang Gao said in a soothing voice, “Go back and rest. Recuperate well. The country still needs you, Jiujing Xuanjia still needs you, and many things are waiting for you to do.”

“Your Majesty…”, Du Yecho cast another glance at Duan Li’s corpse. The pain in his eyes was genuine: “My lord, I request to bury Duan Li.”

Zhang Gao Xian only said, “Agreed!”

Today's magnanimous display by King Zhuang of the State of Chu will surely reach the ears of every official.

Truly a wise ruler!

Du Yehu walked over slowly, picked up Duan Li's body, and glanced at the knife in Zhuang Gaoxian's hand.

This is an impolite person.

Here is the translation of your content, with HTML tags left untouched:

Zhuang Gaoxian didn't mind and only said in a gentle voice: “This blade is cursed, using it will bring misfortune. Don't use it again. Go back to the inner treasury of my manor and choose a new sword.”

All the palace guards and Baiyu army soldiers present envied him.

This person has actually gained the emperor's favor to such an extent!

Du Yehu pondered for a moment, then bowed his head and held Duan Li close as he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

And then, without another word, he left the Duke's Palace, holding Duan Li's body in his arms.

As the burly figure carrying the corpse disappeared into the distance.

Du Ruhui bowed and said, "Your Majesty, congratulations!"

“Oh” Zhuang Gaoxian turned and walked towards the palace, “Today there is bloodshed at the palace gates, I wonder what brings such joy”

Du Ruhui followed behind and said, "Your Majesty has lost a general in just one night, yet gained a tiger minister! This shows that Heaven's mandate is with you, and will not allow our dynasty to decline!"

Zhuang Gaoxian stopped in his tracks, and after a long moment, sighed: "Thanks to you, Teacher."
