"and that if she were not brought out by the third call he would eat Us first, and then Our ministers, and then devour every commoner in the city to the last.

The threat climbs in three stages — the king, then his ministers, then every commoner in the city — and counting to three attaches a deadline to it. 將 is jiāng, taking an object forward.

那nà時shí節jié,朕zhèn卻què憂yōu國guó憂yōu民mín,無wú奈nài,將jiāng金jīn聖shèng宮gōng推tuī出chū海hǎi榴liú亭tíng外wài,被bèi那nà妖yāo響xiǎng一yì聲shēng攝shè將jiāng去qù了le。 那nà时shí节jié,朕zhèn却què忧yōu国guó忧yōu民mín,无wú奈nài,将jiāng金jīn圣shèng宫gōng推tuī出chū海hǎi榴liú亭tíng外wài,被bèi那nà妖yāo响xiǎng一yì声shēng摄shè将jiāng去qù了le。

"At that time, anxious for Our state and Our people, We had no choice: We pushed the Golden Sage Palace out beyond the Pomegranate Pavilion, and with one roar the monster carried her off.

推出 — pushed her out — is the king's own word for what he did, and he does not soften it. The sentence he has spent five exchanges approaching is confessed in a single clause. 將 is jiāng twice here, once taking an object and once pushing a verb along.


總評 Commentary

The threat is built in three ascending stages — the king first, then his ministers, then every commoner in the city down to the last — and the count of three attaches a deadline to it. It is a demon's threat and it is also, precisely, a political problem.

The king's own account of what he did is the hardest sentence in the chapter. Anxious for the state and the people, having no choice — and then he pushed her out. He does not soften the verb, and the monster took her with one roar. Everything since has been consequence.
