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

After all, he is different from Zhu Yunhuan. Zhu Yunhuan has rich experience and life experience under his teenage appearance.

Zhu Quan, on the other hand, was a true teenager.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuchu smiled humbly and said, "Your Highness Prince Ning is a young hero. I have heard of your great reputation before I even arrived at Daning Mansion!"

He remained calm on the surface, but secretly felt relieved.

Zhang Yuchu is the Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi Sect.

Going down the mountain to travel and practice cultivation can be considered as a task for Taoists to seek the truth, but coming here to see Ning Wang Zhu Quan is not purely for reminiscing about the past.

Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism.

Or as a sect among these two major religions, throughout history... no religion or sect can remain immune to the world's trends and changes of dynasties.

Zhang Yuchu is the leader of Zhengyi Sect.

In addition to the matter of practicing Taoism, one naturally had to consider how one's own sect could survive, prosper, and develop under the dynasty and imperial power.

Today, the Zhu Dynasty is in power.

Naturally, he also had to consider the issue of relying on this dynasty.

That's why he asked his younger brother Zhang Yuqing and his disciples... to respond to the call of the new Emperor Kaiqian to recruit wise alchemists. That's also why, when he passed by Daning Prefecture, he would come to pay a visit to the prince of the Zhu Dynasty who had a good impression and interest in Taoism.

Being praised by Zhang Yuchu.

Zhu Quan's face, which had not yet completely lost its childishness, could not help but show anger, revealing a hint of complacency and pride. He laughed and said:

"Is my reputation that great? Well! It's all because of killing the Mongolian Tartars! My father asked us princes to guard the borders and protect the capital."

"I was just thinking... my father and those old uncles and aunts exhausted all their efforts to drive them back from the Central Plains to the Northern Territory. I will never let them in again, no matter what I say."

Speaking of it.

Zhu Quan seemed to have thought of something.

A look of sadness and sorrow appeared on his face. He sighed deeply and said in a low voice, "Alas... I never thought that our farewell would become a farewell forever. It has been almost half a year since my father passed away."

Young people are always in a state of turmoil and do whatever they want.

Among the older princes, Zhu Yuanzhang favored Zhu Biao and was extremely harsh and strict to the other princes. However, when Zhu Quan was born, Zhu Yuanzhang was older and naturally became more loving and kind to the child.

Zhang Yuchu bowed slightly and said, "His Majesty Hongwu was a wise man throughout his life. He has passed away so suddenly. The entire Ming Dynasty mourns together. When I heard the news, I also performed a ritual for the late emperor from afar. The deceased is gone. Your Highness Prince Ning, please accept my condolences."

Zhu Quan took a deep breath.

He curled his lips, dispelling the sudden sadness, and said, "Well, what Zhang Tianshi said is certainly reasonable. Fortunately, everything is peaceful in Yingtian Prefecture. My eldest brother's legitimate son, who has always been unknown, is quite capable. With the help of such a divine figure, the Ming Dynasty has not only avoided any chaos, but the people have actually lived a lot more peacefully in the past six months."

"Since my father has asked me to be a vassal here, I will obey his orders and defend this first line of defense in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. This will be my filial duty."

Zhu Quan shrugged and said.

Although he was indeed tricked into joining the Jingnan Rebellion by Zhu Di in history, it was ultimately a half-hearted act – Zhu Di coerced him into joining the group, offering him half the empire as a lure. How could Zhu Quan be as experienced as Zhu Di or Monk Daoyan? At such a young age, he was already on board.

and so.

Zhu Quan at this time.

There is no such thing as ambition or not.

Zhang Yuchu smiled faintly and praised: "Your Highness Prince Ning is truly filial."

Zhu Quan's emotions faded as quickly as they came. He immediately set his sights on Zhang Yuchu, who was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, and jokingly said, "It's reasonable for Zhang Tianshi to be away. Could it be that the teaching affairs of the Zhengyi Sect have been handed over to Taoist Master Zhang Yuqing? I remember that he and you were both conferred the title at the palace. Zhang Tianshi has been away for a while."

Zhang Yuchu showed a calm and humble smile on his face.

He replied, "Zhengyi Sect has a profound heritage and a long history. Although I am now the head of the sect, there are many elders in the sect and someone is in charge. As for Yuqing..."

At this point, Zhang Yuchu paused for a moment before continuing, "Your Highness, have you forgotten that last year, His Majesty Kaiqian issued an imperial decree publicly recruiting all alchemists and Taoists in the world to refine elixirs? The Zhengyi Sect naturally couldn't refuse."

This is of course just the surface statement. Once an emperor comes, he has the final say in all religious affairs. No matter whether they are Buddhists or Taoists, or even outsiders, they all have to come into the sect in this regard.
