Chapter 98: Arrow on the Bowstring
wants to keep the HTML tags. Let me know if you want me to translate any actual content within those tags!But Su Xiuxing's eyes lit up: "Can you give me an antidote">"Certainly!"As soon as Jiang Wang...Thinking over his plan, Zhuang Gaoen casually said, "The Prime Minister has lately been keeping Fu Baosong by his side. What about Li Jianqiu"
Du Ruhui said earnestly, “Fu Bao Song is an upright and honest minister. I have him by my side so that he can understand the workings of government and some necessary political strategies sooner. Li Jianqiu is a loyal minister to the country, so I let him stand alone and handle the affairs of the Prime Minister's office. I hope he will grow up sooner. These two are both promising young men who are beneficial to the country, and I dare not underestimate them.”
Zhuang Gao sighed and said, "Master Du is truly a good teacher who teaches students according to their aptitude. I still miss Dong A! If he were here, you would have saved so much effort. Perhaps you would even be inscribed on the Jade Roster."
“When a nation prospers, can one mere person’s loyalty truly redeem it” Du Ruhui’s voice held a weariness he couldn’t quite conceal: “As long as Your Majesty uses everyone to their fullest potential, the country can flourish. Even if I die now, I would still have the face to meet Emperor Ren.”

"Teacher, don't say such things!" Zhuang Gaoxian only realized today that Du Ruhui's once black hair now had streaks of white.
The god, Shen Lin, was originally ageless in his youth. However, he overexerted himself and inevitably grew weary.
Without Du Ruhui, Fu Baosson, and Li Jianqiu, they are unable to carry the weight.
“We, ruler and minister, have weathered countless storms over the years. There is no obstacle we cannot overcome. I hereby pledge to you, Master Zhuang, that before my death, I will ensure that the State of Zhuang stands firm on the western frontier, commanding respect from all quarters. In the past, our national strength may have burdened you; in the future, it will be your support.”
What an ambitious goal!
Du Ruhui looked at Zhuang Gaoxian before him, as if he saw the child who had just learned to speak back then.
The benevolent emperor took his hand and said——
"From now on, I'll leave it to Mr. Du."
Among all the benevolent people in the world, none surpass Zhuang Mingqi in his kindness.
The second ruler of the state of Zhuang, he lived his life with integrity and kindness, winning the respect of the people through his virtue. It was under his rule that the state of Zhuang prospered and its people accumulated wealth. After the unexpected death of the founder of Zhuang, he protected the state's territory and provided the resources for its future success.
“Fu Baosong and Li Jianqiu are both usable. How about our first day at the Big Building”
Zhuang Gaoxian's voice pulled Du Ruhui from his reverie. It was like pulling off old, worn-out clothes to reveal the thread underneath.
He paused for a moment before replying, "Use this first. Before he descends, I shall personally see to it that everything is taken care of."

"The state of Zhuang is still lacking in talent," sighed Zhuang Gaoen. "Apart from Lin Zhengren, there was no one else suitable to attend the Dragon Palace banquet."
“Back then, when the Fenglin City incident occurred, I had already begun laying plans, waiting for the right moment to subtly reveal the truth to Zhu Wei. He has an arrogant and self-centered personality. If I were to speak bluntly, he definitely wouldn't accept it…” Du Ruhui’s eyes held a hint of coldness: “When Dong A died, Lin Zhengren met with Zhu Wei. After learning more about Lin Zhengren, I became suspicious that it was him who told Zhu Wei something back then.”
I wish Wei only has a dazzling brilliance, he is the true pride of Zhuang Guo, cultivated with all their might. He is also a fine talent trusted by Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui.
It is a pity that before he grew into a pillar of the state, he abandoned his country. He not only failed to give back enough to the nation but also became a major threat to it.
Hearing Du Ruhui recount the events of that year, Zhuang Gao Xian realized there was this side to Lin Zhengren. He was taken aback for a moment, but instead of anger, he chuckled softly: "This Lin Zhengren, isn't he quite extraordinary Now I feel it would be a pity to kill him before he reveals his full potential."
Du Ruhui, with a solemn expression, said: "Your Majesty must not have this thought. You must know that raising tigers is easy to bring disaster. This person is a cunning and vicious devil tiger. If you even slightly relax your guard, he will surely take lives."
Zhuang Gaoxian smiled: "Of course, I was just speaking casually. This man's life and death are entirely up to Master Du. There's no need to report it to me."
He then said, "Speaking of the Ghost Tiger, what does Master Du think of Du Yehu"
Du Ruhui said, "A good sword."
Perhaps with the country finally opening its borders, and no longer being watched by those two annoying bald donkeys, forcing him to be unable to fully express himself, Zhuang Gao's mood had lightened considerably. He asked with interest: "Why is it only Du Yexi, Mr. doesn't comment on his character, but only on his abilities"
Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, since you find it difficult to rest assured about his origins, then his character doesn't matter."

Zhuang Gaoxian went on to say, "Li Jianqiu also came from Fenglin City. The prime minister is not as he described."
>
Of course, Du Ruhui knew that Zhuang Gaojian, with his personality, distrusted everyone equally. Whether it was Li Jianqiu or Du Yexi, regardless of their individual personalities or usual demeanor, they were all treated the same in his eyes. Because of their origins in Fenglin City, they could never gain his trust and lessen his suspicion. This became especially clear after Zhu Wei's treason.
But he still tried his best to be as authentic as possible: "Because Dong'a has already taught him very well." Li Jianqiu understood Dong'a and was willing to become like Dong'a. In this regard, I am inferior to the deceased viceroy."

He never stopped thinking about her, and was unable to keep Zhu Weimei by his side. I don't know if after the so-called truth about Fenglin City was revealed as a way to make amends, Du Yehu really believed it.
How did Dong A persuade Li Jianqiu
He often reminisces and regrets that he didn't protect the future prime minister he had faith in.
The transfer of power is inevitable. No one can stop it.
...Fu Baosong, Li Jianqiu and others, it will take how long to grow up.
Zhuang Gaoxian smiled nonchalantly: "I still want to hear what the teacher thinks of Du Yexi."
This time, Du Ruhui pondered for a while before saying, “If it weren’t for the affair of Fenglin City, Du Yuhou would be a loyal and brave general, an excellent warrior.”

Zhuang Gaoxian said softly: “But this matter already exists.”
Du Ruhui pondered for a long time before saying, “I still can’t be sure. Killing Jiang Wang and Duan Li on the battlefield... Du Yexu has repeatedly proven his stance with life and death. But I still can't completely trust him. Logically speaking, Du Yexu isn't someone who can hide his thoughts well. He has a hot temper, a fierce personality, and his joys, sorrows, angers, and delights are all written on his face. But the more so this is the case, the harder it is to see what lies at the deepest part of his heart. I don't know what is hidden in the depths of his soul.”
Zhuang Gao expressed his calm opinion: “Since even Master Du is unsure, let us find an opportunity for him to die heroically. I will give him a grand burial and praise his achievements... Is there anyone in the army who can replace him now”
"There's simply no one who can fully replace him. He commands the army's trust not just because of his military talent, but also due to his repeated acts of courage on the battlefield. Even if someone else possesses greater skill, without those war experiences, they will inevitably fall short." Du Ruhui said, "That King Danjun from Mo Kingdom who switched sides has some military prowess, but..."
But he didn't say what came after "but".

Whether or not one wins the hearts of the army is secondary.

Du Yecho, who hails from Fenglin City, is untrustworthy. Surely a general who defected to Mo Guo is more trustworthy
Zhuang Gaoxian waved his hand: "Then let's just keep him for now. There's Huangfu Duoming in the army and Master in the court. Even if he has ulterior motives, he wouldn't be able to cause much trouble."
He then said, “I shall set off to attend the Taixu Alliance immediately. Let me dispatch Du Yehu to guard my palace.”
The entrance to Taixu Mountain lies within the endless sea of shifting sands.

He couldn't possibly allow Du Yexiao, whom he didn't completely trust, to hold military power while he was away on such a long journey. Moreover, the Ninth River Xuanjia were among the two strongest armies in Zhuang Kingdom.
Appointing Du Yecho as the guardian of the palace signifies the emperor's trust in him, placing the safety of the imperial family in his hands.

But in actuality, it was merely a temporary stripping of his military command.

After all, it's impossible for Du Yecho to bring the Jiujing Xuanjia to guard the palace.
A secure military power brings stability to a nation.
As for the safety of the concubines and even the prince...it's not that important.
Concubines can be replaced if they die, and princes can be born again if they perish.
Only that dragon throne is the most crucial and irreplaceable to grasp.
Du Ruhui was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty has made up your mind"
"The arrow is on the string, and it has to be let go." Zhuang Gaoqian was also a bit helpless: "This time, perhaps this is the last chance. When he breaks through, will you and I have to give up all of this and go to Yu Jing Mountain to cultivate"
Du Ruhui said nothing.
Zhuang Gaoxian sneered again, "Now that the Zhuang nation is gone, will those old things on Yujing Mountain be willing to let us seek refuge That's debatable!"
His current situation is actually very embarrassing.
Although I managed to get ahold of a genuine immortal, and now have a powerful backer.
But a truly sincere path that deliberately obscures the reality can offer him little support.

So far, the greatest support given to Zhēn Dào has been erasing his traces of activity in the Demon Realm, allowing him to send Jiāng Wàng into a desperate situation and retreat unscathed.
But Jiang Wang miraculously returned from the demon world, his hard-earned support earned by selling himself was meaningless.
The trip to the demon realm unexpectedly allowed Jiang Wang to forge a golden body of a human hero!
>
He had to admit, although he had never given up on eliminating Jiang Wang. But Jiang Wang, relying on his fame and the Jade Heng hanging in the sky, retreated to Xinyueyuan, closing himself off like a turtle. This strategy was truly difficult to deal with.
Besides the two plague gods, Kuaijue of Hanging Temple and Zhaohuai of Mount Xumi, one in the east and one in the south, blocking the national gates and binding his hands and feet, leaving him with a full mind of strategies but unable to execute any.
During the days when he was confined within the country borders, constantly watched by two real people, he actually had two plans for Jiang Wang.
One is using Lin Zhengren to fish.
As a result, Jiang Wang mysteriously disappeared, dropping many clues, but there were no takers. When Lin Zhengren returned from his fruitless mission, the plan had already failed.
His second plan was to find a way to let Jiang Wang know about the existence of Yizhen Dao, and even some of its secrets. Thus prompting Yizhen Dao to consider erasing him. A classic case of using someone else's knife to kill!
This was inspired by a threat from Itzuen to him.
However, this plan was never implemented. Because he needed to understand why Jiang Wang disappeared during Lin Zhengren's diplomatic mission. Was it intentional avoidance of his bait, or a coincidence
Please note that I have removed the "tion mat, Zhao Wuyan, who had witnessed the entire incident, suddenly chuckled and shook her head. "It is my wavering heart that has led to this humiliation," she said.For someone as proud and arrogan...
