For the sudden meeting of Daoist Puji, the Empress Dowager was surprised at first, and then felt that this person came at the right time.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, took a deep breath, looked at Emperor Hongzhi, and said, "Originally, women should not interfere with the court's employment, but they are only related to the prince. If the Ai family cares, it will cause chaos. Whether Fang Jifan is good or bad, the Ai family It doesn’t count, but whether this person is deceiving the public with his rumors or not, Daoist Puji will personally report to the emperor, he came just in time, so let’s hear about it.”

Emperor Hongzhi was actually quite unhappy. He didn't like Taoist priests, and he didn't like real people. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that his moral character was not bad, Emperor Hongzhi would definitely dismiss him and would never let him He entered the palace.

But the empress dowager believed in this, and used the words of a person to determine a court minister...

Well, Fang Jifan doesn't seem to be qualified to be a minister of the imperial court, but... he is an orderly official anyway, so it is really a bit of a joke to determine whether a court orderly official is lying to deceive the public.

It's just that Emperor Hongzhi was pure filial piety, but he was helpless about the decision of the Empress Dowager.

After a while, the real Puji arrived.

Today, he entered the hall wearing the Taoist robe bestowed by the imperial court, and immediately bowed down and made a big salute: "The poor Taoist has met the empress dowager, your majesty, the queen empress, and your highness the crown prince..."

When the imperial court offered sacrifices to the heavens, Puji Zhenren served as the deputy priest, and he had seen the true faces of the nobles in the palace, so he recognized everyone in the palace.

When the Empress Dowager saw him, her complexion had long since disappeared from the seriousness just now, and she immediately became more pleasant, and said hurriedly, "You don't need to be too polite."

Emperor Hongzhi was sullen, but ignored him.

The Empress Dowager said indifferently: "Yesterday, the Ai family ordered someone to send a scripture commentary to the real person. The person who wrote the scripture commentary was young but bold. Although the Ai family read scriptures, they knew nothing about the scriptures. Not many, so I really want to know the real person's opinion."

Zhu Houzhao could only sigh in his heart. At this time, he didn't bother to pretend to be pitiful. He couldn't help but feel depressed when he thought that Fang Jifan would be sent out of Beijing.

After all, he was the one who killed him.

But Master Puji was surprised and said: "This sutra commentary was actually written by a young man?"

Puji Daoist's heart was full of turmoil. The person who read the commentary and wrote the commentary was so experienced. It can be seen how profound his understanding of the Tao Te Ching is.

Before coming here, Master Puji thought that the Sutra was destined to be written by some secluded expert, this person should at least have a gray beard and be at least sixty years old, but unexpectedly, he was a young man.

At this time, Master Puji had the urge to kill himself with a piece of tofu. He had studied the scriptures for decades, and he was not even as good as a young man.

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, she believed in the Taoist scriptures from the bottom of her heart, so she disliked evil heretics who falsified the scriptures.

So she said: "It's not just a young man, he's clearly a young man... Real man, there are no taboos in this scripture, you don't have to hide it, let's report it together."

Wethead...Young boy...

Puji Zhenren's old face turned red all of a sudden, as if someone swung his hand and slapped his face, this old face was in hot pain.

After taking a deep breath, Master Puji said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, this is a Taoist classic. I am so poor that I admire it so much."

"..."

The hall was suddenly quiet, and everyone's expressions became strange.

Empress Zhang looked surprised.

Zhu Xiurong, who was ashamed to look at others, raised her eyes in astonishment.

Zhu Houzhao looked around, wondering what the real person said just now.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes sank, and he felt that something was wrong.

The Empress Dowager was originally sitting happily, but at this moment her body trembled, she frowned in amazement and said, "Really, what is the meaning of this?"

The empress dowager still didn't understand.

That scripture commentary should be deviant. She has read all the scripture commentaries in the world, but she has never read this one. According to the feedback from the prince and Liu Jin, she is almost sure that it is written by Fang Jifan.

It was audacious for a young man who had never practiced Daoism to write annotations for the Tao Te Ching, but now hearing Puji's reply, she felt that she might have made a mistake.

But Puji Daoist Yu Daochun showed reverence, and continued: "The Empress Dowager, the poor Taoist has carefully studied this sutra commentary, and has read it seven times, and all the Taoists in the temple have also observed it. The commentary on the scriptures is appreciated, no... Poverty is too offensive, the word "appreciated" is a shame, it should be worshiped, and I am ashamed of myself. This scripture inherits all the scriptures since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The understanding of Tao Te Ching is really rare.”

"You mean..." The Empress Dowager finally couldn't sit still, she stood up trembling slightly, and Wang Yan who was beside her hurriedly supported her.

However, the Empress Dowager opened Wang Yan's mouth, and she barely stood still, her face was full of shock: "Is this not a fallacy?"

Yu Daochun Surong, after he learned that the author of this scripture was just a young man, he really felt indescribable, but how can someone from outside the party lie?

He resolutely said: "This person who inherits the great achievements of Lao Zhuang's Tao Te Ching is not understandable by a mere poor Taoist. After obtaining this sutra, a poor Taoist still needs to study carefully or have new insights. However, Pindao can be sure that once this sutra is spread , which can be compared with Zhenjing Immortal's "Compilation of Tao Te Ching Jing"

Beauty, handed down for thousands of years. "

This time, not only the Empress Dowager was surprised, but even Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't like Taoists, which was preserved by history. Because of the previous emperor's relationship, Emperor Hongzhi had a natural aversion to Taoists, but...

Emperor Hongzhi also heard about Immortal Zhenjing. This person was originally named Chen Jingyuan, and he was the most famous Taoist in the Northern Song Dynasty. He called himself Bixuzi. Song Shenzong once bestowed the title "Master Zhenjing". Afterwards, there were rumors that he ascended to the immortal class in the first year of Song Zhezong Shaosheng.

Of course, although some people firmly believe in this matter of ascension, others have a skeptical attitude. However, this person's "Tao De Zhen Jing" is indeed one of the scriptures enshrined by Zhengyi and Quanzhen sects today. Taoism, regardless of whether it is north or south, respects Immortal Zhenjing as the patriarch because of this. one.

But now it is said that Fang Jifan's Daoist scriptures can be compared with the "Compilation of Tao Te Ching Jing"?

This word, Puji Daoist who uttered Longquan View, but people can't help but believe it.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but whispered in surprise: "This guy is still practicing Taoism..."

The Empress Dowager felt that she was a little powerless, her face was full of surprise, with mixed feelings, she stared at Puji Daoist, not only did she recite the "Tao De Zhen Jing Collection Micro-pian" many times, but also to that person The soaring true immortal is even more revered.

But no matter what, she couldn't connect that fairy from the Northern Song Dynasty with a brat like Fang Jifan.

The hall was extremely quiet, and there was an indescribable weirdness.

"Aijia... Aijia..." The Empress Dowager clutched her heart, suddenly feeling a little unbearable, so frightened that Wang Yan and Empress Zhang stood up to help.

"Everyone get up!" The Empress Dowager suddenly said loudly, she let out a long breath, her face was slightly rosy, obviously, the breath that was pent up in her heart finally came out.

She stood still and said: "Ai Jia never expected it, but he didn't know pearls..."

After a sigh, the Empress Dowager smiled wryly. After reading the scriptures for a lifetime, she couldn't understand the original meaning of the scriptures, but she yelled at people... This made the Empress Dowager feel ashamed.

"Really, is the other party's successor overrated!" The Empress Dowager still couldn't help being suspicious.

In fact, Master Puji is even more ashamed than the Empress Dowager. This is a young man... huh? Fang Jifan's name is still somewhat familiar.

Master Puji didn't have time to think about it, so he said: "Return to your mother, the poor are not qualified to judge this person."

The Empress Dowager was even more surprised. What she didn't have the qualifications meant was that Master Puji felt that he was far behind Fang Jifan.

The Empress Dowager had already sat down, she took a deep breath, and couldn't help but read in a low voice: "Fang Jifan...Fang Jifan..."

She remembered this person because of the Zhang family and Zhou family's affairs before, but now... the name is too impressive.

She let out a breath, and said again: "But how can a young man read this scripture? It's really weird."

This is obviously difficult to explain with common sense.

Puji Daoist smiled wryly and said: "Enlightenment is not divided into seniors and young ones. After all, it is a word of enlightenment. It is a poor way. Although he is tireless, he achieves nothing. It is ridiculous. However, maybe he has another chance. , Ask clearly, and it will be clear."

The Empress Dowager was thoughtful, and had to say that she had to be cautious about Fang Jifan.

How could she have imagined that such a ghostly fellow could comprehend the Taoist scriptures? Entering the palace at noon on the ninth day of the first month to celebrate the birthday..."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, as if feeling insufficient, she said again: "It's better to come and greet the prince with Chenshi."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his heart trembled.

The ninth day of June was the Empress Dowager's birthday, and there was nothing wrong with entering the palace to celebrate her birthday on this day.

But here is the time, but there is a lot of mystery.

In the beginning, the Empress Dowager ordered Fang Jifan to come at noon, noon is noon, and noon is the time for the banquet. At this time, some wives will be invited to enter the palace for the banquet at this time, but the Empress Dowager doesn’t like big things It is a big event, so most of the wives invited to the banquet are the wives of the Dukes in Beijing, and the wives of the first rank, and the number of wives is not many.

But the Empress Dowager quickly changed her mind and changed the noon to Chenshi, which was after Maoshi, probably after breakfast, and even asked her to greet the prince with her, which was beyond standard hospitality.

Because except for the royal family members, it is very inappropriate to enter the palace at this time.
