Some officials from the prime minister's faction secretly looked at the prime minister, but based on their previous experience of dealing with Zhao Ji, as long as Zhao Ji dared to speak out openly in the court, he would rarely be overthrown.

Moreover, it is just a small official history of the Imperial Observatory. Even if it is abandoned, it doesn’t matter.

Zhao Ji was certain that the prime minister would not spend too much energy on such a person.

So he presented the evidence in his hands directly before the emperor.

The emperor actually had some doubts about the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory, mainly because of what Zhao Ji said in the court at that time.

Now we have received evidence of corruption, and what Zhao Ji said is enough to prove that this envoy has a history of deception.

The emperor took a quick look and said, "Since there is so much real evidence, let's handle it according to the law."

The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory originally wanted the prime minister to save him, but he did not expect the prime minister to be the first to stand up and agree: "Your Majesty is wise!"

This time I completely gave up.

The prime minister didn't know that it was his action today that made some originally wavering minor officials in the court choose to remain neutral.

If one can become a chess piece that can be discarded at will just because of a low official position, it is better to remain neutral from the beginning and not be lured away.

Zhao Ji dealt with a mute envoy and felt refreshed.

The emperor has been feeling increasingly mentally deteriorating lately. Recently, the governor of Nanjun has presented a Taoist priest to him.

"The pills that Master Zhang sent me recently are pretty good. I feel much better after taking them."

"Give me a good reward, Master Zhang. People like them who practice Taoism probably won't like such vulgar things as gold and silver. Lord Zhao, please help me think about this."

Zhao Ji was called over privately by the emperor. He originally thought it was some big deal, but he didn't expect it was just something like this.

Seeing the emperor's excitement, Zhao Ji frowned slightly. Zhang Zhen had only been in the palace for a short time, but he had already won the emperor's appreciation.

Zhao Ji vaguely felt that something was wrong, but the emperor was in high spirits, so he would not stop him at this time.

"Let me think about it."

Zhao Ji thought for a moment, then said, "People like Zhang Zhenren who are out of touch with the world are not very interested in gold, silver and treasures. If the emperor wants to reward them, he might as well consider jade."

"A jade statue of the Three Pure Ones is just right."

As soon as Zhao Ji made this suggestion, the emperor's eyes lit up: "Indeed, then let's do as you say."

Master Zhang’s residence was not far from the emperor’s bedroom, and the emperor specially opened a Taoist temple close to his palace.

Master Zhang devoted himself to practicing Taoism and refining elixirs here every day. When Zhao Ji came over, Master Zhang was in the alchemy room.

A little boy with a bun on his head came over, with a red dot on his forehead and a childish face.

"Are you here to look for the master? You can't be interrupted while refining the elixir. If you really want to find him, you can wait here!"

Zhao Ji could see clarity in the little boy's eyes.

"In that case, I'll wait here." Zhao Ji was also very good-tempered.

The little boy was very unrestrained, not like the people in the palace. After Zhao Ji said he wanted to wait, he ignored Zhao Ji and started to clean the Taoist temple.

Zhao Ji didn't wait long, about three incense sticks' time, and then he saw a white-haired man in a crane robe walking out.

The man doesn't look old, but his hair is already completely white.

Zhao Ji just sat here, looking at the white-haired man quietly without saying hello.

When the white-haired man saw Zhao Ji appear in the hall, he smiled slightly and walked over with a whisk in his hand.

"I guess this person is the Master Seal who was highly valued in the previous dynasty."

Zhao Ji nodded slightly and looked at each of the Zhang Masters quietly.

Judging from his appearance, he has a somewhat immortal look.

"I heard that Master Zhang recently presented the emperor with a pill, and the emperor liked it very much, so he specially took out the jade statue of the Three Pure Ones that he had kept privately for many years from the storehouse and gave it to Master Zhang as a reward. I wonder if Master Zhang likes it?"

Zhang Zhenren smiled calmly: "We cultivators do not value these things, but I like this jade statue of the Three Pure Ones given by the emperor very much, so I will naturally place it on the table for worship."

Zhao Ji stood up and walked around the room. Although this was in the imperial palace, the objects placed in the room were extremely simple.

There are basically some wood carvings, and no gold or jade can be seen in the entire hall.

He doesn't look like someone who would be trapped by fame and fortune.

However, Zhao Ji knew that one should not judge a person by his appearance, so he picked up an ebony carved bird on the shore nearby.

"This place is too plain and quiet, I will give you a golden sculpture one someday, it will be worthy of your current status!"

Master Zhang smiled slightly: "No need to do that, the reason I came to the palace is not for these material things."

Zhao Ji smiled calmly: "Then I wonder why Master Zhang came here?"

"It is of course destiny. It is God who has directed me to come here to assist the wise ruler, so I came to this place."

Zhao Ji didn't believe it at all when he heard this, but he still pretended to be surprised: "So the real person is guided by destiny. I was a little rude."

Master Zhang waved his whisk and said, "Since I can come to this place, I have already prepared myself to be misunderstood by the world. After all, not everyone can understand what I mean by destiny, right? Master Seal Holder?"

Zhao Ji smiled faintly: "Of course, some ordinary people cannot accept it, but as long as the real person always sticks to himself, there will be no problem."

"When I arrived, I happened to see the master refining the elixir. I wonder if the elixir is ready now?"

When Master Zhang heard Zhao Ji say this, a determined look appeared on his face.

"I was just preparing to refine a batch of elixirs for the emperor, and now it has been successful. Since the Lord of the Seal is here, why don't you help me bring this elixir to the emperor."

Master Zhang reached out from behind him and took out a square black box.

There was a black pill in it. Zhao Ji took it and smelled it gently. It had a scent mixed with grass and trees, but he didn't know what was added to it.

Zhao Ji doesn't want to deal with this kind of thing. If anything goes wrong in the future, he doesn't want to take the blame.

"Since Master Zhang has spent so much effort to practice it, then Master Zhang should give it to the emperor himself."

Master Zhang seemed to have guessed that Zhao Ji would not help him with this trip, so he withdrew his hand.
