Emperor Taichang summoned the Prime Minister and the relevant ministers of all departments to inquire about related matters.
Currently, the court was dominated by the Donglin Party, and as soon as they heard that the Emperor wanted Daoist Temples to be constructed across the nation, they immediately came out in opposition.
The Emperor patiently explained to them that Master Yuan Yang was a true Immortal Master with real Divine Power.
Yet the ministers were still not convinced, with Prime Minister Ye Xianggao leading the charge, arguing that with disasters and famines occurring everywhere in the country and the relief silver being inadequate, how could they afford to engage in such large-scale construction and build Daoist Temples everywhere?
The Emperor said there was no need for the state to spend any money; Master Yuan Yang would solve it himself.
