Zhuo Ping continued, "Before this, Prime Minister Cai had three ups and downs."

"Excuse me, Prime Minister Cai, when you were demoted from the capital, did you tell everyone that you were the prime minister?"

Cai An thought to himself, when he was demoted, he still said that he was the prime minister everywhere. Did he think his death was not fast enough?

So he smiled and said, "Of course not. I have been exiled three times and have always called myself a common man in the mountains. I have reflected on myself a lot and dare not call myself the prime minister."

"Even if someone calls me the prime minister, I would never dare to accept it."

Zhuo Ping said, "That's it. The immortal who was demoted to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor probably has similar ideas to Prime Minister Cai. It's just that he has repeatedly corrected mortals but it didn't work, so he had to let it go."

"Oh~~~" Everyone "suddenly realized".

Thinking of this, everything suddenly became "clear".

Calling it "exiled immortal" in front of Li Bai is a compliment to him.

But calling him "exiled immortal" in front of a real immortal is no different from pointing at his nose and scolding him.

Just like during the three times when Cai An was demoted, if someone called him prime minister in a sarcastic way, wouldn't he be so angry that he wanted to chop people?

Fortunately, the people in Xiangyang City were respectful and called him "Shangxian".

Although it sounded a bit harsh, Shangxian had a gentle personality and didn't care too much about mortals.

Occasionally, when he was annoyed by being called, he would just use a folding fan to lightly hit his disciples.

Thinking of this, the emperor and Cai An and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Xiao Zhuozi's trip was not in vain, otherwise we would repeatedly talk about the immortal's scars, wouldn't it make the immortal unhappy?" Cai An said.

Emperor Anyou said: "Xiao Zhuozi is right, I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive the reward later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After a discussion, the few people decided that since it was not appropriate to call Zhang Tian "Shangxian" and poke at his scars, the title of "Young Master" was the most appropriate for the time being.

First, this was what Zhang Tian had asked for.

Second, everyone had not yet figured out whether Zhang Tian was a monk or a Taoist priest, so calling him a high monk or a Taoist priest was not appropriate.

Therefore, before going to court, Cai An prepared intelligence and other documents in advance, expecting that Zhang Tian would definitely say that he was not an immortal.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tian did say it.

In Chongzheng Hall.

Seeing that Zhang Tian denied that he was an immortal, even the prime minister produced ironclad evidence.

Censor Liu Fang was stunned.

Without the name of "ghosts and gods", all their preparations today would be untenable.

At this time, another minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Old Book of Tang says: Emperor Taizong found a magician named Nar Sapomei, who claimed to live 200 years and had the secret of longevity. Emperor Taizong showed great respect and kept him in the Jinbiao Gate. He made a medicine to prolong life. He ordered the Minister of War Cui Dunli to supervise the work and sent envoys all over the country to collect countless rare medicines and stones. After many years, the medicine was made, but it was ineffective when taken. When he was seriously ill, no famous doctor knew what to do, and he died at the age of fifty-two."

The meaning of this passage is that Emperor Taizong of Tang met a magician who claimed to live 200 years.

So Emperor Taizong of Tang sent people to collect rare medicines and stones from all over the world and asked him to make the elixir.

But after it was made, it had no effect when taken. It was even mentioned obscurely that Emperor Taizong of Tang was only fifty-two years old when he died, which might be related to this "immortal elixir".

Although the official history does not explicitly say that Emperor Taizong of Tang died from taking medicine, in unofficial history and many literati's accounts, it is believed that it is closely related to the entry of sorcerers into the court and the so-called "immortal pills".

The Tang Dynasty was the most glorious unified dynasty closest to the Nan'an Dynasty, so everyone naturally took it as a warning.

All the officials in the court understood it as soon as they heard it and nodded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, think twice. Although Master Zhang Tian did not claim to be an immortal, you must be on guard."

"If you take pills for the sake of illusory immortality, wouldn't you be the same as Emperor Taizong of Tang?"

"Your Majesty is over 40 this year, not far from 52..."

Zhang Tian was confused by the previous part, and Xu Wen explained in a low voice.

Zhang Tian listened and smiled, "Indeed, the emperor should not believe in any immortality elixir."

"Those elixirs are not only useless, but harmful."

"They contain mercury, lead, asbestos, saltpeter and other bad substances. It is easy to get heavy metal poisoning and die young if you eat them."

"If anyone dares to deceive the emperor with the immortality elixir, he must be a demon and should be killed as soon as possible!"

"Hiss... you you you..."

As soon as the voice fell, a group of civil servants took a breath of cold air, which was unexpected.

We gathered all the officials to attack you, why did you suddenly stand on our side?

It makes us seem familiar and like we share the same hatred.

Even the emperor and Cai An looked incredible.

Emperor Anyou asked: "Why does Master Zhang Tian say so? Is there no immortality elixir in this world?"

Zhang Tian affirmed: "No!""What about the method of becoming an immortal?"

"No."

"Really?" The emperor's voice trembled, and he dragged out a long tail tone.

"Really!"

When Emperor Anyou heard this, he couldn't hide his lonely expression, and sat on the dragon throne in a daze.

The person who he believed to be an "immortal" in his heart told him in person that there was no such thing and he could not become an immortal.

The sense of gap was unprecedentedly large!

Even the officials in the court were confused.

Isn't this our line?

How come this "immortal" and "demon" persuaded the emperor more righteously than us?

Look, what a blow this has dealt to the emperor?

The entire Chongzheng Hall fell into a strange silence.

Zhang Tian said this not because he was afraid of the officials, but for his own future.

Even if he deceived the emperor with lies about immortality and becoming an immortal, he could win today's argument.

But if it doesn't work over time, it will definitely be a big disaster.

Not only will he be questioned by the emperor, but the civil service group will also counterattack fiercely.

At that time, he can't kill everyone he sees, even the emperor, right?

At that time, he will really be regarded as a "demon" by the people of the world and fall into an endless war.

It is better to cut off the emperor's thoughts from the beginning.

Anyway, he has shown so many abilities before, whether to keep him or not, or think of another way if he doesn't want to keep him.

Anyway, returning to heaven is just an obsession, and the possibility of success is extremely low.

Relying on equipment like supplies, you can live freely anywhere, there is no need to rely on lies to bury a huge pit for yourself.

At this time, Xu Wen suddenly broke the silence and said, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I have something to say."

Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood, Cai An had to say, "What do you have to say?"

Xu Wen bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the immortal master is right. There is indeed no immortality in this world, and it is impossible to become an immortal."

"The legendary Eight Immortals who crossed the sea, after playing around in the human world, also left the mortal world and went to heaven."

"After Huangdi attained enlightenment, he rode a dragon and was ranked among the immortals."

"I'm afraid these immortals don't want to go to heaven, but the heaven and earth have their own order. "If the immortals are allowed to stay in the mortal world, wouldn't our Yanhuang lineage still be ruled by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?" "Therefore, there is no immortality in this mortal world, and immortals are not allowed to stay in the mortal world, but... it does not mean that there is no immortality in heaven." After saying that, he pretended to be calm and turned to Zhang Tian and asked, "Master, am I right?" Zhang Tian said unhappily, "You are the only one who can do it, shut up." If he continued to talk, he might even come up with the heavenly rule that "immortals and mortals cannot be combined." The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he finally got some spirit. Yes, there is a living "immortal" in front of him, and there is also a subdued dragon outside. How can there be no immortals in this world? How can there be no immortality? It turns out that "the immortal" is a metaphor for us, just as he hinted that he is not an "immortal". Alas... the immortal disciples still have a high level of comprehension. No wonder the "immortal" accepted him as his personal disciple and kept him by his side. He was indeed able to discern the immortal's intentions.

It's a pity that there is no one around me who can discern the immortal's intentions.

Thinking of this, Emperor An You liked Xu Wen more and more.

Emperor An You was in a good mood and looked around and said, "Since Master Zhang Tian claims that he is not an immortal and advises me to stay away from alchemists, he has made great contributions to our dynasty."

"My lords, do you have anything else to say?"
