Most of the people here have been here since before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not young.

Even though they did not rule the world like Zhu Yuanzhang, they had worked hard all the way to the present day, and their official titles, wealth, properties, power... were all accumulated step by step. It is hard not to feel a sense of loss when bringing up this topic.

At this time.

A servant walked in and reported: "Sir, all the nobles and dukes, the eunuch Sanbao from the palace has arrived."

Hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces froze.

My heart sank.

What the hell, just mention the devil and he'll show up? Ma Sanbao comes in person... Every time Ma Sanbao comes, nothing good is going to happen!

of course.

Ma Sanbao was Zhu Yunhuan's most trusted person.

Even the nobles of Huaixi had to give him some respect.

Naturally, he was invited in immediately.

"Hey! Eunuch Sanbao! Isn't this a great time? A cow just fell and died in the Duke of Liang's mansion. Come on! Let's have a hotpot together." Someone immediately invited Ma Sanbao enthusiastically.

Ma Sanbao politely smiled and slowly declined, "I am of low status. How can I eat hotpot with the Dukes, Marquises, and Earls? This is truly a disgrace to me. Besides, I have come to the Duke of Liang's mansion today because I have important matters to attend to. I dare not delay."

Military generals are not the kind of people who like to go around in circles.

He was grateful for the courtesy, so he didn't continue the invitation. Instead, he asked directly, "Did His Majesty have another oral order?"

Ma Sanbao nodded slightly and said, "That's right."

The emperor's words were spoken, so naturally, no one dared to sit any longer. However, Ma Sanbao immediately said politely, "What are you all doing? His Majesty has already said that, while you are the monarch and his subjects, you are all elders within. Just sit and listen to his words."

It is one thing to trick them secretly and paint them a rosy picture.

However, to keep them stable, it was not painful and did not require any substantial sacrifice of face, and Zhu Yunhuan was never stingy in giving it to them.

Ma Sanbao and Zhu Yunhuan were of one mind as master and servant, so they naturally knew Zhu Yunhuan's methods of dealing with this group of Huaixi nobles, and cooperated with him to coax them appropriately.

After hearing these words, everyone's frowns relaxed a little.

Seeing that the group had almost calmed down, Ma Sanbao finally spoke, "His Majesty has decided to establish an Alchemy Department in the palace. The fifteen alchemists selected yesterday will be included in it, and His Majesty will personally take charge of the department. Tomorrow's morning court... I'll have to trouble all the dukes, marquises, and earls."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Ten thousand alpaca horses galloped through the minds of Lan Yu and the others:

"Your Majesty never disappoints me when it comes to disappointing me..."

"The Alchemy Department simply recruited all fifteen alchemists... How much would that cost?"

"That would be fine, but as an emperor, you're still personally handling and researching this matter? Aren't you just waiting for everyone in the court to firmly label you a 'tyrant'?"

"This job is impossible. Even a dog wouldn't do it. Whoever wants to do it can do it!"

Indeed, they would like to see Zhu Yunhuan faint a little, so that they can control him and gain benefits from him.

But no one thought that he would directly defeat the Ming Dynasty?

Everyone sat around the dinner table, and although they didn't speak, they stared at each other in confusion.

How can you win this argument?

This fight is not worth a single quarrel!

Although everyone was complaining wildly in their hearts.

But he was speechless, not knowing what to say...

See this situation.

Ma Sanbao raised an eyebrow, knowing what was going on. He immediately broke the silence and said, "Your Majesty also said that I was able to succeed to the throne and maintain the Ming Dynasty because of my great-uncle, my uncle, and all the uncles. I am deeply grateful for this, and thinking this way, I have recruited more alchemists. When the golden elixir is fully developed, if I am the only one to enjoy it, I will feel uneasy."
