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

As a voice came from the inner hall, the arguments and noise in the outer hall were instantly swept away, and it became extremely quiet... Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from with a sense of guilt, with a hint of surprise and fear on their faces.

Immediately, they knelt down one after another, shouting "Long live the king":

"See Your Majesty!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

As footsteps approached.

Everyone heard a voice, neither hurried nor slow, as gentle as jade: "Please stand up. I have summoned you today. I believe someone has already informed you of my intention. In pursuit of immortality, I am eager to seek talented people. There is no need for such formalities today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" everyone said in unison, standing up one after another.

Zhu Yunhuan had already spoken, and many people could not help but look up and look at him curiously, all of them secretly surprised in their hearts.

They do not have the experience and ability in physiognomy that Yuan Gong has.

However, the young emperor in front of him did not have the arrogant and domineering demeanor of those wealthy and powerful dandies he usually saw. Instead, he was calm and peaceful.

Just look at its appearance.

It really doesn't match the imagined "tyrant".

Of course, they certainly could not be as confident as Yuan Gong. Most people still believed that appearance was just a person's appearance, while the discussions of the people, court officials and hundreds of officials did exist, and those absurd things were true.

I just felt a little awkward for a moment.

Besides, the first words this young emperor said when he came in... at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was already thinking about elixirs and immortality.

If not a tyrant, then what is he?

It is true that they can make elixirs, and they also want to rely on the so-called alchemy skills to gain the favor of the emperor, the prosperity of the sect, fame, wealth and so on, but this does not mean that they are not clear about the so-called "alchemy" behind the tricks, and they may even know it better than ordinary people.

You must know that by the Ming Dynasty, although these Taoist alchemists also understood the methods of refining these elixirs for external use, the mainstream Quanzhen and Zhengyi schools were actually focusing on practicing inner alchemy.

First, no one has ever seen an immortal in thousands of years.

Second, refining elixirs is too wasteful.

Therefore, after a moment of surprise, many people labeled the young emperor Zhu Yunhuan as a tyrant, and the title of a tyrant was indeed well-deserved.

Of course, this still did not prevent them from competing for the opportunity to show up in front of Zhu Yunhuan.

"Your Majesty! I have something to report!"

"Since the seventh year of the Hongwu reign, the late Emperor Hongwu has issued a clear decree prohibiting the Quanzhen Sect from participating in any political affairs, appointing a headmaster, or preaching. They are only allowed to focus on self-cultivation. Yet, they have appeared within the imperial palace today."

"This is a criminal deceiving the emperor! Your Majesty, please punish him!!"

The person who spoke was a young Taoist priest behind Zhang Yuqing, the leader of the Zhengyi Sect. His purpose was self-evident: with so many competitors, he would first eliminate a group of Quanzhen alchemists by accusing them of deceiving the emperor.

Sun Ming, who was standing behind Zhu Yunhuan, immediately lowered his voice and reminded him, "Your Majesty, this man is a disciple of the current headmaster of the Zhengyi Sect, and his name is Liu Ziqian."

And at the same time.

On the other side, the Taoist priests from the Quanzhen Sect couldn't help but feel more guilty. They looked around awkwardly and exchanged glances. Some of them even showed fear and worry on their faces.

The crime of deceiving the emperor is such a big accusation!

Fortunately, a middle-aged Taoist priest of medium height and slightly plump standing at the front had a flash of his eyes.

He immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, although we are from the Quanzhen sect, we are also citizens of the Ming Dynasty and your Majesty's subjects."

"Your Majesty is the father and ruler of all the people of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty cares for the people of the world. If Your Majesty summons us, we will naturally do our best to share Your Majesty's worries and solve their problems."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty's decree never stated that Quanzhen Taoists were not allowed to respond to summons. We have only just responded to the summons and come here. I beg Your Majesty to understand."
