Chapter One: Ruler and Minister

only to see the dragon bone face, a flash of gold on his body, the whole person still without any delay rushed up, raised its claw.The Tiger Shackled by the Crown of Thorns, wasn't even able to hold h...>How to express it I suggest: after reading, please collect ( ), and then it will be more convenient to read the next one.

Xincheng, Zhuangwang Palace.

Every footstep on the tile floor has a constant rhythm.

The owner of the footsteps, their superhuman fortitude and will are evident.

Lin Zhengren walked in from outside the palace gate in the distance. He approached, and respectfully bowed: "Greetings, State Minister."

Du Ruhui, with his hair styled in a high bun and wearing an ornate hairpin, lightly nodded and simply said: "Your Majesty is inside."

neither distant nor close.

Lin Zhengren's peripheral vision caught sight of Fu Bosong, tall and thin, standing beside him. He seemed to have been talking to Du Ruhui just before, his whole body standing straight.

"A man like a pine, solitary and upright," was the evaluation of the Dean of the City Hall Academy towards him.

Lin Zhengren felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In his view, Fu Baosong, who was mediocre in talent and pedantic in character, had neither great accomplishments nor hard work. Yet, he always considered himself extraordinary, with an air of "the world is turbid but I am pure." He didn't know what luck he had, first the National Academy Chancellor, then Prime Minister Du Ruhui, lined up one after another, taking a fancy to him.

But this discomfort did not show on his face at all. He even turned to Fu Baosong and gave him a friendly smile.

Fu Baosong bowed his head in acknowledgment, without uttering a word.

Politeness is a matter of manners, aloofness stems from the heart.

He still couldn't match his fellow student Lin in terms of outward demeanor. Although he had never spoken ill of Lin Zhengren behind his back, he still found it difficult to get close to him in person.

Lin Zhengren walked inside and inadvertently glanced at Du Ruhui's calm yet profound eyes, quickly averting his gaze out of respect.

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

But in my heart I was thinking—

This old fox, didn't he see that my treason against Zhu Yi had his own hand in it

Although he was certain there would be no evidence, as Chancellor, Du Ruhui often didn't need evidence in many situations.

Thinking these things, his feet didn't stop, still walking at the usual pace, slowly fading away.

After Lin Zhengren left, Du Ruhui glanced at Fu Baosong and asked deliberately, "Is he your senior brother from the city academy"

Fu Baosong bowed respectfully and replied, "It's the senior brother."

"What do you think of this man" Du Ruhui asked.

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

Fu Baosong bowed again: “Baosong is ignorant and lacks wisdom. I am truly incapable of evaluating others.”

Du Ruhui gazed at the sky above Zhuangwang Palace, where the colors were not dazzling. "A gentleman does not conceal the merits of others nor speak of their faults. Since you are unwilling to speak, is it because people have flaws and their natures are evil"

"Fu Baosong certainly didn't mean that." Fu Baosong bowed deeply, earnestly saying, "Please don't say that to me, Your Excellency."

Du Ruhui sighed in his heart. Both the Grand Master of National Academy and the Dean of Wangjiang City Daoist Academy strongly recommended this young man. He also acknowledged the young man's character, but he was too rigid and lacked finesse.

What kind of people does Zhuang Guo need now

Though he had a thousand thoughts in his mind, on the surface, he just smiled and said: "A gentleman like you, I truly can't bear to deceive you."

The reserve of talent in the State of Zhuang is something that Zhuang Ting must consider now. An increasingly prosperous State of Zhuang needs pioneers, and it also needs successors. The strength of the State of Zhuang has been demonstrated through the national war, and what is needed in the future is potential.

To increase influence within the vassal states, to counter the pressure from Qin and Jing, and even to address the discontent of the State of Jing... All these things require people to see the future.

The confluence of the Yellow River is a very important juncture.

Therefore, Zhuang Gao Xian summoned all the outstanding young men in the country one by one, personally encouraging them.

As one of the Six Masters of the National Academy, Lin Zhengren is undoubtedly the most outstanding young cultivator in the entire Zhuang Kingdom. With his active performance on the Zhuang Yong battlefield, he was naturally within the scope of this summons.

Passing through the rows of guards standing on either side, he entered the vast hall.

The sovereign of the Zhuang kingdom sat upon the dragon throne, casting a shadow down from above.

Lin Zhengren walked forward calmly and greeted with a bow: "Disciple Lin Zhengren of the National Academy, pays respects to Your Majesty."

Zhuang Gaoxian slightly narrowed his eyes.

He no longer needed to consider the succession of talent.

My performance is dazzling enough.

He was undoubtedly a prodigious talent, a young man both he and Du Ruhui had high hopes for.

The only drawback is probably pride.

But the more arrogant a person is, the better they can control themselves.

He needn't wish for me to rule in the future, he only needed him to become Zhuang Guo's sharpest spear, a banner flying high for Zhuang Guo.

As for Zhu Wei, he believed he had already received the utmost favor.

Even at the crucial moment when nations were at war, he followed Du Ruhui's advice and left Zhu Wei in the country, using him as a firebrand for the country in case of a defeat.

After He Ba Dao's death in battle, he had even decided to give the Bai Yu Army guarding Zhuang to this person!

Although he was able to make a great living, Ke Zhuwei still abandoned him and fled the country. Such ingratitude to the emperor!

What weeds, what enemies!

He wished he could kill this son of a bitch with his own hands.

But things have already happened, no matter how angry we are, it can't be undone.

As a sovereign, he must look ahead.

Before his death, Dong A valued Li Jianqiu the most among young people, subtly regarding him as a spark. On the battlefield of Suolong Pass, the most dazzling warrior was Du Yecho, walking the path of ancient military strategists. He possessed a valiant heart and ventured into dangerous paths.

Both of these rising stars are very good, but they both come from the Fenglin City area of Qinghe County.

Zhuang Gaoxian wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with this. It would be perfectly acceptable for the ruler and his ministers to unite and demand an explanation from Bai Gu Dao, just like they did when they previously purged it. But when Zhu Wei betrayed the country, those words—"Maple Forest Old Affairs, I will never forget"—rang in his ears.

He had a thorn in his heart.

>

Even though Du Ruhui had handled it properly, no one who heard this would dare spread the word further.

Although things in the Fenglin City area, there won't be any evidence to exist.

But for someone born in the Fenglin City domain, he couldn't help but have a bit of scrutiny.

Will there be another person like Zhu Wei among these people

Who killed Dong A

while Lin Zhengren...

This is the end of a paragraph.

On the day I betrayed my country, Lin Zhengren was also in Xincheng. Since Xiangjiang City and Fenglin City border each other, could it be that Lin Zhengren knew something too

“Do you know what happened” Zhuang Gaoxian asked from the dragon throne.

As the sovereign, he had a general idea of all the young cultivators summoned for this audience. However, he wouldn't let anyone see his true feelings about them.

But he couldn't let go of the fact that I had betrayed my country. As a result, he couldn't help but stray from the original topic and asked this question anyway.

Lin Zhengren's heart tightened: "I don't know what Your Majesty is asking."

Zhuang Gaoxian's voice was hard to read, neither happy nor sad: "You should know what you should know. Ask whatever you shouldn't."

The monarch can answer vaguely, but the subject cannot.

Lin Zhengren broke into a sweat, quickly weighed the pros and cons, gritted his teeth, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I have a guess!"

Zhuang Gaoxian then knew that Lin Zhengren indeed understood the truth behind the destruction of Fenglin City.

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

How did he know Was it for the same reasons as me and Zhu Wei, or was it a guess made from Zhu Wei's treason

But this is no longer so important. As long as Lin Zhengren has a little bit of brains, he will definitely only admit the second reason...

Zhuang Gaoxian waved his hand and dismissed those around him.

"A question from me, entering your ear, shall not be known to a third person."

He asked softly, "Wángjiāng City isn't far from Fēnglín City, Lín Zhèngrén. You don't feel any sorrow at his death"

With Zhuang Gaoxian's cultivation, he indeed didn't need any guards.

>

When only the two of them were left, Lin Zhengren felt even greater pressure.

Especially... Faced with such problems.

>

But he didn't have much time to think, hesitation was a mistake at this moment.

He resolutely knelt down: “I don't know what it means to mourn a rabbit's death because of the fox's grief, but I do understand that when a country is destroyed, there is no home! Without a country, how can there be a home For the sake of achieving great undertakings, what sacrifice is too great!”

"Even if it were..." Zhuang Gaoxian smiled rarely, unable to tell whether it was relief or irony: "Sacrificing you"

Lin Zhengren bowed deeply.

Although extraordinary cultivators needn't bow their heads, his bow was still very resounding.

"May Heaven bless my manor and bring forth an unparalleled lord. For the prosperity of this great manor for ten thousand generations, I am willing to give my lifeblood and brain, what's a hundred deaths!"

This is just a simple example.

Their loyalty was as bright as a beacon, echoing through the palace halls.

What a good monarch and his ministers!
