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

Everyone began to murmur in their hearts.

Originally, everyone present was still cursing Wang Yifeng in their hearts, this opportunistic old man, fearing that Zhu Yunhuan would be deceived by the appearance he created. But they never expected the situation to turn out like this...

But everyone also felt quite puzzled.

Things like alchemy, the recipes, materials, principles, temperature, etc., are all subjects that require careful study and are not something that can be achieved overnight.

This young, willful and foolish ruler...

Can you understand the ins and outs here?

"Is it a coincidence?"

"Perhaps Wang Yifeng has violated some taboo of this tyrant monarch, or perhaps this tyrant monarch simply dislikes these ever-changing flames...? Is it like flattering someone but hitting the horse's leg?"

The others were all thinking and pondering.

Wang Yifeng, who was secretly proud of his clever operation, suddenly changed his expression. Eighty strokes of the stick might only mean some physical pain for the Jinyiwei for a while, but for ordinary people like them, even if they didn't die, they would lose half their life.

Thinking of this, Wang Yifeng couldn't even take care of his alchemy furnace. He fell to his knees on the spot and cried out in injustice:

"Your Majesty! I have been wronged, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"I...I am refining the elixir for Your Majesty! The flames that just rose up are because Heaven is blessing Your Majesty, so an auspicious sign appeared during the elixir refining! This is God's will, proving...proving that Your Majesty has the potential for immortality!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am truly wronged!"

People who try to take advantage of loopholes are usually good at talking. Wang Yifeng actually came up with a seemingly reasonable statement in a short period of time, and even brought up words like "destiny", "will of heaven", "auspicious sign", "the posture of immortality", and made a very convincing argument.

I heard that the other people present were secretly cursing Lao Liu in their hearts.

They were secretly angry before, but no one dared to point out the problem. This is the reason.

After all, who doesn't like to hear good words? Especially as an emperor, who could refuse "auspicious signs," "divine will," and "immortality"? They jumped out and said that this statement was wrong. How could an emperor who pursued immortality not punish them?

Indeed, this group of people, including Wang Yifeng who was deliberately trying to attract attention, guessed that 99% of the emperors would have their thoughts and ideas.

But it is obvious that Zhu Yunhuan was never that ninety-nine percent.

He sat on the main seat with a majestic posture, looking indifferently at the Taoists and alchemists below, and slowly said:

"The Golden Elixir is refined through the Nine Revolutions of Perfect Circularity. The different colored flames are simply your furnace fire burning different things, producing different appearances. They are not auspicious signs, and they actually do not help in the formation of the elixir."

Flame color reactions, something we've learned since junior high chemistry, aren't even chemical reactions in nature, but physical ones. Anyone with the right materials can create flames of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, or violet.

After a pause, he pronounced the verdict in a cold voice, leaving no room for debate: "This man has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Drag him away and execute him immediately."

Talking nonsense is just nonsense in front of ordinary people, but in front of an emperor, if he is not punished for deceiving the emperor, there will definitely be countless flatterers who will try every means to fool him.

Just imagine, if the person sitting here today was not Zhu Yunhuan who understood these tricks, but any other emperor, he would probably have fallen into the trap.

Historically, Old Zhu did not have such a selection process, but directly asked Liu Yuanran to help him refine the elixir because of Liu Yuanran's reputation, otherwise it would have been very difficult.

And with this kind of person's character.

If an emperor were deceived and fooled by it, the consequences would be disastrous.

Of course, Zhu Yunhuan’s more important purpose was actually to warn the people in front of him, letting them know that even if he was an arrogant and willful tyrant, they would have to think twice before doing anything in front of him.
