三國師來 The Three Preceptors Arrive
國王展開方看，又見黃門官來奏：「三位國師來也。」慌得國王收了關文，急下龍座，著近侍的設了繡墩，躬身迎接。国王展开方看，又见黄门官来奏：「三位国师来也。」慌得国王收了关文，急下龙座，着近侍的设了绣墩，躬身迎接。
逐句解 Line by line
The king had just spread it open to look when the Yellow-Gate officer came again to report: “The three Preceptors of State are here.”
展開方看: 看 = kàn, "just as he opened it to read." 國師 "Preceptor of State," a genuine imperial honorific granted to eminent clergy, and one the three immortals have talked their way into.
Flustered, the king put away the rescript, hurried down from his dragon throne, ordered his attendants to set out embroidered stools, and bowed to receive them.
慌得: 得 = de, linking the fluster to what it made him do. 著近侍: 著 = zhuó here, the reading for ordering someone to do something -- a fourth job for a character that has already been zhe and zháo in this chapter. 繡墩 "an embroidered drum stool." 躬身迎接 "bowed to receive them."
The contrast does all the work. Ten minutes ago this king wanted four monks dragged in under guard. Now he is off his throne and bowing, and someone is fetching embroidered stools.
A king does not come down from the dragon seat. That he does it here, unprompted, for three men who have not even been announced properly, measures exactly how far the court has been captured -- and sets up what the immortals do next, which is to not bow back.
