Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

The imperial court recruited alchemists from the entire Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Gong responded to the call and left.

It was legitimate and reasonable, and Yuan Gong had been staying in his hometown of Yin County, Zhejiang Province in recent years. He had no contact or connection with Peking and his Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, so it would not arouse suspicion at all.

He is indeed the best and most suitable candidate!

Although Yuan Gong was famous for his ability of face reading, he was originally a Taoist. Although he did not do much alchemy, he still knew a thing or two.

Yuan Gong had accepted Daoyan's invitation to read his fortune, and naturally he had made some considerations in his mind. He and Daoyan were close friends, and after the fortune-reading, the other party had asserted that he had the appearance of a "Taiping Emperor". Yuan Gong was definitely going to side with this person, whom he thought was the Taiping Emperor!

If I hadn't sent him back to his hometown before, he would definitely be under my control now.

"It seems that Your Highness has understood my intention."

"I met Tingyu (Yuan Gong) in Songshan Temple in my early years. We hit it off right away. I even persuaded him to stay with Your Highness and work together. Tingyu was also tempted by this. He is the greatest expert in physiognomy and will naturally be willing to help Your Highness." Monk Daoyan looked towards the south, with a hint of certainty on his calm face.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di was completely relieved and overjoyed.

He put on a look of slight guilt and helplessness, and explained very humbly, "When you write this letter, please ask Master Daoyan to explain to me that the time was not right back then. Although I admire Master Tingyu's talent, I dare not keep him rashly. Please don't be offended."

"But good things come to those who wait. Fortunately, Master Tingyu has not been with me these past few years. This is the perfect opportunity for me to respond to the summons and go to Yingtian Prefecture. Otherwise, I might have aroused suspicion."

After all, it was he who sent those people back that year.

Now that he wants to use people, he still needs to work on his attitude. If he wants to accomplish great things, he must be able to bend and stretch.

Monk Daoyan understood, but did not reveal Zhu Di's thoughts. He said calmly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will explain this to Tingyu."

Zhu Di finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and replied, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Daoyan."

Daoyan raised his palm and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Your Highness is the one with true destiny. I will assist Your Highness. You don't need to do this."

Zhu Di glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late, and it's getting dark faster and faster... I'll go back home first. It's the beginning of winter, and there are a lot of affairs to attend to in Beiping." There was a hint of emotion in his tone.

Winter is hard to bear, and winter in the north is even harder to bear.

Monk Daoyan nodded slightly and said, "Goodbye, Your Highness."

At this time.

From the already darkened sky, tiny snowflakes began to fall. The first snow of early winter began in the north...

"It's snowing? The unbearable weather... is coming." Zhu Di looked at the fluttering snowflakes and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

He was in charge of Peking, and when the weather turned cold, the people under his rule would also suffer.

It's just this kind of disaster sent from heaven.

It’s always difficult to deal with.

Monk Daoyan said calmly, "Everything has its time."

Zhu Di said nothing more and tightened his cloak: "The weather is getting colder and colder. I always feel an inexplicable chill invading my body. Master Daoyan, please take care of yourself." After that, he turned around and hurried away.

Watching Zhu Di's back as he left.

Dao Yanhe raised his eyebrows, smiled faintly and said to himself: "This winter is indeed colder than usual. Wude, let's go back too."

……

The words are divided into two parts.

In Yingtian Prefecture, although it didn't start snowing as early as in the north, the weather had already begun to get colder rapidly.

Of course, it’s not cold in the Qianqing Palace.
