將各門緊閉 Shut Every Gate And Ring The House
國丈道：「此何難哉？適才吩咐光祿寺辦齋待他，他必吃了齋，方才出城。如今急傳旨，將各門緊閉，點兵圍了金亭館驛，將那和尚拿來，必以禮求其心。国丈道：「此何难哉？适才吩咐光禄寺办斋待他，他必吃了斋，方才出城。如今急传旨，将各门紧闭，点兵围了金亭馆驿，将那和尚拿来，必以礼求其心。

The Royal Father-in-Law said, "What difficulty is there in that?
難 is nán, difficult — four of the chapter's five take this reading, and only 師徒之難 in the opening sentence is the noun nàn.
"You gave orders just now for the Court of Imperial Entertainments to lay on a meal for him. He is bound to eat it before he goes out of the city.
The trap is the hospitality. The king's one act of kindness in the whole chapter — ordering a farewell meal for a traveller — is the thing that keeps the traveller inside the walls, and the Royal Father-in-Law spots it instantly.
"Now send out an urgent decree, have every gate shut fast, muster troops to ring the Golden Pavilion Posting House, and have that monk brought here; and then we must ask him for his heart with proper courtesy.
將 is jiāng twice over, the little word that puts an object in front of its verb: shut the gates, fetch the monk. And then 必以禮求其心 — we must ask him for his heart with proper courtesy — which is the most chilling clause in the chapter precisely because it is polite.
The plan is assembled in three sentences and every step of it is administrative: a decree, the gates, a cordon, an arrest, an interview. Nothing supernatural is proposed at any point.
The clause about asking courteously is the one to sit with. He is not proposing to seize the monk's heart; he is proposing to request it, with the correct forms observed, and only to use force if the request is declined. The chapter has spent four thousand characters establishing that this kingdom does everything by the proper procedure, and this is where that observation arrives.
