"The Zhenyang Taoist Palace has been destroyed, the external demons have surrendered, and this expedition has been a complete success." The Queen Mother of the West looked at everyone with a smile.

Then she said, "Send the order, heavenly soldiers and generals, to lower the banners and drums, withdraw the heavenly power, and return to heaven."

"Follow the law!"

...

Fang Jian was inspecting the Zhenwu Emperor Temple under construction in Zhaoxing City. The Zhenwu Emperor Temple built by Zhu Yuanzhang in the north of Zhaoxing City was not an independent temple, but a subsidiary temple.

So, who is enshrined in the main hall, as Zhenwu Emperor is relegated to the secondary hall?

The answer is obvious, it is naturally the Jade Emperor.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor Temple in Zhaoxing City is different from the Jade Emperor Temples in other places. The main temple of the Jade Emperor Temple in Zhaoxing City enshrines the Jade Emperor, while the secondary temple enshrines the Zhenwu Emperor.

The Laojun Temple is in the East City, and the Nuwa Temple is in the South City. Construction of both began at the same time.

As for the workers who built the temple, they were naturally those who had previously been extreme believers in Zhenyang Dao.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to demolish the Zhenyang Palace with their own hands, and then personally built the Jade Emperor Temple, Laojun Temple, and Nuwa Temple, destroying the Zhenyang Taoism they believed in from the heart and body.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang would not abuse them. He provided them with three meals a day, but did not pay them. If they performed well, or had completely abandoned the Zhenyang Dao and accepted the teachings of the Sanguan disciples, he would pay them a monthly salary as an encouragement.

These tactics of manipulating people's hearts were a piece of cake for Zhu Yuanzhang, especially the Jinyiwei under the leadership of Zhu Houcong, who were more like "armed missionaries".

Just after Fang Jian inspected all the halls in the Jade Emperor Temple, he left the Jade Emperor Temple and flashed into Zhu Yuanzhang's palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reviewing memorials, only felt a flash of fairy light in front of his eyes, and then he looked up and saw Fang Jian standing in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly stood up and asked, "Master, why are you here?"

Fang Jian bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty has now established the country and proclaimed himself emperor. Your foundation is secure. I must return to Heaven to report."

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly, "Master, why are you leaving so hastily? Please stay for a few more days. I still have many things to ask you."

Fang Jian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, when it comes to governing a country, few in the world can compare to Your Majesty. Moreover, the Heavenly Court has already issued an edict ordering me to return and report, so I have come to bid you farewell."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze upon hearing this. He then stepped forward and said to Fang Jian, "Since this is the case, I cannot force you to stay. Master, please accept my respects."

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang bowed deeply to Fang Jian, but when he stood up, Fang Jian had disappeared, and only a breeze blew through the hall.
