The lobby on the first floor was dotted with nobles and wealthy businessmen.
The private room on the second floor is mostly empty.
Li Mao stood on the podium and glanced around, frowning slightly. He thought that this public lecture in the aristocratic class would cause a sensation, but now it seems that the impact is not big.
Suddenly, noisy shouting came from outside the building.
"Staff, I want a private room on the second floor!"
"Give me a seat near the podium!"
"I want a private room on the second floor!"
"..."
Everyone turned their eyes and saw a crowd outside the Yumen Tower. Rich nobles and businessmen crowded into the crowd and threw money into the building.
"This, this is... Patriarch Li? Patriarch Zhang?" The sharp-eyed nobles in the building were stunned.
What's happening here?
These nobles would like to hire 10,000 guards when they go out on weekdays. They would like to see no people around for ten miles. Why are they crowded together today?
More and more people came behind me. Those who had money threw money inside, while those who had no money had to stand at the door.
Li Mao's heart trembled, and he stood up and looked around. Even if the emperor came in person, it wouldn't be so intense.
The moment the soft sedan stopped at the door, Li Mao's pupils dilated, he suddenly realized, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Your Majesty is truly Your Majesty. He had long expected that the aristocratic circle would not be very receptive to Tianhua Sect, so he actually brought the beauties from the harem to visit in person.
These nobles usually brag about their connections with the royal family. How could they miss such a good opportunity?!
What's more, not only the nobles, but also the common people attracted formed a sea of people, crowding the commercial streets with nowhere to go, and some even climbed onto the roof.
Within half a minute, the building was full of seats.
"Dear guests, the seats in this building are full!" the store owner shouted, pushed aside the crowd in front of the door, and spread out a clean blanket.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" the eunuch who ordered the order shouted, and the people around him knelt down to salute. Li Mao hurriedly walked off the platform and ran to the door to greet him.
Zhu Youde, dressed in a noble dragon robe, was seen stepping down from the sedan chair with the support of Luo Xian, followed by four peerless beauties.
"Long live your majesty!"
The people sang loudly! They were excited!
The emperor comes with his beauties in person, and everyone who can see it is excited!
"Your Majesty..." Li Mao guided Zhu Youde to sit in the center seat.
"The beauties in my harem want to listen to Governor Li's lectures, so don't be nervous."
Zhu Youde motioned to stand flat, looked around, and sneered in his heart.
If Ci Ning devised a beauty trap, then she should return the favor.
Li Renjie and other Jin Yiwei disguised as wealthy businessmen were sitting on the left and right, and there were imperial guards waiting secretly. The entire Yumen Tower formed a fishing net...
On the podium, Li Mao adjusted his mood and started teaching. But the eyes of the nobles around him drifted towards Zhu Youde from time to time.
Zhu Youde did not stop him and listened quietly to Li Mao's lecture. The five beauties were all erudite and talented women before entering the palace. They were very interested in Tianhua religion and listened fascinated.
About two hours later, Li Mao leaned down and said to end the lecture, and cheers rang out in the building.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of Tianhua Sect?" Li Mao asked.
Zhu Youde glanced at Luo Xian.
The beauty stood up gracefully and dignifiedly, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Master Li's lectures are naturally very good, and I am fascinated by them..."
With this smile and this word, the nobles around seemed to stop breathing, it was so amazing!
What a beautiful smile, she is so gorgeous!
Qingyu and the Liu family twins commented together, and they were all full of praise. Zhou Ruqian even said:
"Your Majesty, I would like to go to the palace to listen to Mr. Li's lectures in the future. Is it feasible?"
"Why not? I also think Mr. Li's lectures are extremely interesting. If I have the opportunity, I will take you out of the palace to listen to the lectures!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Doesn't this mean there is still a chance to see the beauty?
Immediately, a noble asked: "Master Li, do we, the common people, still have a chance to listen to the lecture?"
Li Mao stroked his beard and chuckled, "His Majesty still has a way to ask beauties to comment, and even invite beauties to come and listen to the lectures, movable type signboards, movable type signboards!"
"The Tianhua Education Society is located in the business district next to Mingde College. The Ministry of Industry is working hard day and night and it is expected to be completed in half a month."
"You can first listen to my lectures and lectures at the teahouses and inns in the capital..."
Li Mao's words made everyone present feel excited, not only because they could see the beauty, but most fundamentally because of the unique appeal of Tianhua Sect's own ideas.
The crowd outside the building burst into deafening inquiries: "Master Li, how do I join the Tianhua Sect!"
Some believers in the Holy Religion shouted: "I want to quit the Holy Religion, join the Tianhua Religion, and accept the influence of the Daliang Orthodox Church!"
As he spoke, the man threw out the emerald-green bird whistle, a token of the Holy Religion.
If someone takes the lead, more Holy Cult believers will throw bird whistles and shout to join the Orthodox Church to study.
The atmosphere became more and more intense, and the worship of Tianhua Church was filled both inside and outside Yumen Tower.
Zhu Youde was eating cakes leisurely, with a smile on his lips.
It’s true that heroes in the world are hard to beat by beauties. Today’s visit with the beauties from the harem not only shortens the distance between the people and the people, but also helps to appease the people’s hearts. It also has the effect of free publicity. I believe that the Tianhua Sect will become the talk of the people after dinner in the future...
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Youde's expression changed and he suddenly looked at the crowd on the right.
Dozens of people in ordinary clothes rushed over and drew sharp knives from their sleeves.
The killer arranged by Cining!
Soon enough, the guards hidden around Zhu Youde stood up in response, but cut off the thief's arms in the blink of an eye.
Blood splattered everywhere in the lobby, and screams of pain could be heard.
Only then did the people realize what had happened, and screamed and wanted to flee, but at some point the Imperial Guard took control of the entire neighborhood and would not let anyone go.
"Your Majesty, control all thirty thieves!"
"kill!"
Zhu Youde stood up, his anger rising to the sky, and the might of the dragon filled the entire Yumen Tower.
The Jin Yiwei moved in response, and all thirty assassins bowed their heads, and several emerald green bird whistles fell out.
The people with eyesight could tell at a glance that it was a token of the Holy Religion: "These assassins are, indeed, followers of the Holy Religion!"
The Jin Yiwei turned over their clothes, and sure enough everyone was wearing a bird whistle!
"Your Majesty, you can confirm that the assassin comes from the Holy Cult!" Li Renjie handed over the bird whistle.
Zhu Youde's face was sullen, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "The followers of the Holy Cult are dissatisfied with my implementation of the Tianhua Cult and attack the Emperor in broad daylight! They should be punished!"
"Pass on my imperial order to immediately arrest the Holy Cult believers and seal off the Holy Cult Church! Anyone who provokes the imperial power will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in a commotion, and there were followers of the Holy Religion hidden inside.
"Everyone, catch him, he is a believer of the Holy Religion!"
"And him, he just quit the Holy Cult, he must be in a group, catch him!"
The crowd was in complete chaos. Anyone who had a bird whistle on his body or was related to the Holy Religion were all escorted voluntarily by the people.
"Your Majesty, Cao Min has just quit the Holy Sect and joined the Tianhua Sect..."
"Your Majesty, I don't know about the Holy Cult assassination!"
There was an endless stream of pleas for mercy.
Zhu Youde glanced around and shouted coldly: "The Holy Religion has alien intentions and should have killed all believers, but I have good thoughts in your hearts. Anyone who voluntarily withdraws will be forgiven without guilt!"
"After one day, those who are stubborn will be killed without mercy!"
The holy believers at the scene left one after another.
A flash of white flashed in the crowd, and the Saint who was hiding in the crowd saw that something was wrong. After the Imperial Guards unblocked the seal, she secretly rushed towards the Holy Society. But when she saw the Holy Society clearly, she was completely dumbfounded...
