"First, when I was a young man leaving home, I failed to live up to Mr. Xu's high expectations. Although my heart was set on the martial path, I had no time to focus on cultivation, resulting in my inability to witness the scenery above the Celestial Person today and my inability to see Mr. Xu."
"Secondly, the monarch entrusted an orphan to me. The late emperor showed me favor, and afterward, both of his progeny, Monarchs Hongcheng and Changming, treated me generously as well. All three monarchs without exception entrusted the Zhu family descendants and the realm of Dayan to me. However, the current Holy Emperor is not a diligent ruler, and there are those with ulterior motives stirring within the realm of Dayan."
"Moreover, foreigners and barbarians frequently come and go, necessitating caution. In this time of internal strife and external threats, I am unable to complete the monarch's entrusted duties due to exhausting my life's fate, which is my second regret."
