After all, Mrs. Mu is the future headed housewife of the big family. After she figured out the cause and effect of the matter, she quickly calmed down.

There is still a turning point in this matter...

Didn't the Xu family invite Daoist Hongfa to celebrate his birthday?

Heh... This little thief is playing tricks, thinking that he can bewitch the Empress Dowager with some rough knowledge of Taoism.

just...

After having an idea in her heart, Mu's instantly regained her composure and self-confidence, and her pale face also recovered a little color.

She forced a smile, glanced at Fang Jifan, then at the Empress Dowager, and bowed to the Empress Dowager: "Your Majesty, speaking of this Taoism, the concubine also invited a real person to celebrate her birthday. Daoist is a famous scholar in Jiangnan, Daoist Hongfa, it took some effort to please him this time. Madam, Daoist Hongfa is not in good health, and it is really not easy to come here from thousands of miles."

Master Hongfa... Liu Tianzheng...

All the people here, who respect Daoism, changed their faces slightly when they heard Liu Tianzheng, the real person who promoted the Dharma.

In other words, since the Duke of Wei's mansion wanted to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday in a big way, how could he just find any cat or dog to give a lecture to the Empress Dowager?

This Dafa Master is one of the most famous masters in the south of the Yangtze River. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has learned from the past and the present.

What's more, the eighty-one temples of Longhu Mountain, this righteous temple, is the first of the eighty-one temples.

It is said that when Daoist Hongfa was forty years old, he was entrusted by the Tianshi Mansion to watch him directly, which shows how outstanding this person is.

Now he is nearly seventy years old, and he only practiced in the mountains. It is not easy for the celestial masters to ask him for general rituals. It is even heard that last year, he was seriously ill and almost drove west.

Such a frail body, and such an admirable figure, unexpectedly was invited to the capital by Wei Guogong's mansion.

At the beginning, due to the influence of Emperor Chenghua, there were many honorable families in Beijing, and there were quite a few people who worshiped Daoism, so they had heard of this Dafa Daoist. Unexpectedly, this Dafa Daoist is now in this capital, which made many The life wife couldn't help being moved by it.

This Wei Guogong's mansion really caught the appetite of the Empress Dowager.

As soon as the trump card came out, the Empress Dowager's displeasure vanished in an instant, and she couldn't help saying: "But Liu Tianzheng, Master Liu? Ai's family has heard that he set up a dojo at Zhengyi Temple on Longhu Mountain to teach Confucianism, his scriptures, Aijia also read it, although he is stupid and doesn't understand the meaning, but he can also feel his profound Taoism, who would have thought that he came to Beijing?"

"Exactly." At this moment, Mrs. Mu was in a hurry to turn over, and she was overjoyed when she saw the empress dowager moved.

Out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but glanced at Fang Jifan, thinking in her heart, you are so insignificant, when the real person Hongfa comes, you will naturally see it, the empress dowager is an old lady, so naturally I believe your evil, but this real person As soon as you arrive, you will be able to pierce your knowledge of half a bucket of water immediately.

"The concubine has invited him to the Meridian Gate, and I'm just waiting for the empress to summon him." She smiled, then looked at Fang Jifan and said, "The concubine heard that nephew Fang Shi also dabbled in Taoism, it's a good feeling, once the real person arrives , might as well invite Daoist Hongfa to discuss with Nephew Fang."

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed when she heard that Daoist Hongfa came, "I only heard of Daoist Liu in the past, and I have never met him. Today I really want to hear his teachings. Hurry up and invite Daoist Liu in."

Fang Jifan was not flustered at all when he heard that Mrs. Mu wanted to lure some real person to come to compete with him. Instead, he smiled blandly, woman... What a trouble, you are endless...

Fortunately, he is not afraid of asking for advice and discussing. Anyway, he is young, so if he loses, he loses. Is it embarrassing to lose to a respected real person?

But this woman thinks she has invited a real person, and she looks so smug, it's really annoying. Your uncle, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager's birthday today, I would send you Fang Jifan's brain disease.

Some eunuchs rushed to the Meridian Gate to invite real people into the palace.

All the wives in the palace were silent and waited with bated breath, all looking forward to seeing the demeanor of this Dafa-promoting real person in the south of the Yangtze River.

At this time, Mrs. Mu took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, this Daoist Daoist can be called the number one Daoist in the world today. He has profound Taoism, which is not comparable to ordinary people who bluff and deceive..."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt even more disgusted by Mrs Mu in her heart, and she naturally knew what Mrs Mu wanted to do.

So she looked at Fang Jifan out of the corner of her eye, and Fang Jifan was smiling, as if he didn't recognize the "carrying a gun with a stick" in Mu's words.

This...isn't it a second fool.

Young people, you don’t know the dangers in the world, people are mocking you and scolding you, but you are kind and smiling.

This made the Empress Dowager feel a little bit of sympathy for Fang Jifan.

This child suffered from brain disease and has not had a mother since he was a child. Poor...

For Mrs. Mu, she didn't get angry, she still had a slight smile on her face, but the depths of her eyes, which had experienced countless things in the world, were as sharp as seeing a fire.

A moment later, Liu Tianzheng, a master of Hongfa, entered the hall.

I saw Daoist Daoist Hongfa wearing a Daoist scarf on his head, wearing cloth shoes on his feet, and wearing only a washed white Daoist robe. After entering the hall, he did not look sideways. After performing the salute, he said: "The poor Taoist has seen your empress, and your empress will last forever."

The Empress Dowager looked at Daoist Hongfa with piercing eyes, and said happily: "The Daoist is so big!

The name is like thunder. "

"Don't dare." Liu Tianzheng, the master of Hongfa, only smiled slightly, leaned forward and said, "This is all a false name, a poor man who is dying, how can he bear the empress's absurd praise."

Everyone looked at this Liu Tianzheng from top to bottom, and they all felt that this person was blunt, not surprised by favor or humiliation, but he really had the demeanor of an outsider.

Even Emperor Hongzhi felt that this person was somewhat 'different' from his simple Taoist attire and his indifferent performance.

The Empress Dowager looked very happy, and said with a smile: "Come, come, give the real person a seat."

"The poor do not dare to sit, just stand." Liu Tianzheng refused: "This time, I was invited by the Duke of Wei to enter the palace for an audience. I was already terrified. For people from outside the district, seeing the holy face is already a blessing. Standing If I can clear up some doubts for the Empress Dowager, the poor will be satisfied."

He is too modest.

Perhaps because during the Chenghua period, a group of Taoists were too arrogant and domineering, Liu Tianzheng entered the palace, appearing extremely cautious.

In fact, he didn't want to come here at first, if it wasn't for Wei Guogong's face, he has reached the age of knowing his destiny, it would be better to enjoy the happiness in Longhu Mountain.

The Empress Dowager nodded, feeling more and more that this real person is worthy of respect, so she was overjoyed, looked at the Mu family and said: "The Ai family has been honored by your Xu family today."

Mrs. Mu hurriedly said in panic: "Don't dare, the empress is serious. The concubines and the family members are ministers, and it is only natural for the ministers to serve the empress. How dare they take credit for it. Zhenren Liu is a high-ranking scholar, and he admires it." Empress Dowager, this is also his fortune."

These words are extremely appropriate.

After all, he was born in a top wealthy family, and character is one thing, but this beautiful words cannot be more powerful.

But she also has a proud side. She was cheated half to death by Fang Jifan just now, and she always felt puzzled in her heart, how could she let go of this great opportunity, so she said: "Nephew Fang Xian is proficient in Taoism, you might as well ask the real person for advice."

This is obviously provocative, implying the Empress Dowager, this Fang Jifan is an ignorant guy, the Empress Dowager must not be fooled by him.

Fang Jifan snorted, and said with a disinterested expression: "I don't ask for advice, I don't ask for advice, what is there to ask for in Taoism?"

I can't be bothered to talk to her.

The Empress Dowager also felt that the Mu family was troublesome. This woman is really a chicken belly.

Fang Jifan is still more sensible.

but……

Liu Tianzheng's face changed after hearing Mu's words.

The face that was still calm just now became solemn in an instant.

Here, there are actually people who practice Taoism...

But when he looked around, he couldn't find half a Taoist.

There is only one answer... This is also the thing Liu Tianzheng fears the most.

From the beginning of the Chenghua period, because the Chenghua Emperor advocated Taoism, many people who were in the middle of nowhere pretended to be Taoists for the sake of prosperity and wealth, and caused troubles in the palace.

Since then, Taoism has been in a slump because of these villains bluffing and deceiving in the name of Taoism.

It was never expected that when the emperor ascended the throne and had just eradicated these treacherous people, now someone had infiltrated the palace and bewitched the empress dowager.

What he hates the most in his life is false Taoists who ruin the reputation of Taoism. When he heard Mu's words, he became vigilant and said indifferently: "Oh, where is this fellow Taoist?"

In fact, he had already seen Fang Jifan, and it was Fang Jifan who said just now that he didn't ask for advice.

This is just a young man, it's ridiculous that a young man can understand any Taoism, it's obvious... he's a bluffing liar.

Liu Tianzheng took a step forward, and he made up his mind that he must maintain the reputation of this Taoist school today, and he must not repeat the mistakes of Chenghua years.

He looked at Fang Jifan with a smile, with contempt in his eyes, and then said righteously: "Do laymen also practice Taoism?"

All eyes fell on Fang Jifan.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a half-smile, and said in his heart, well, let's see how you end up.

The Empress Dowager did not want any disputes between the two parties. Fang Jifan's Taoism was recognized by Master Puji, and she firmly believed in this. As for Master Liu, she also admired him.

But looking at Liu Tianzheng's awe-inspiring expression, it was obvious that Liu Tianzheng, an outsider, seemed genuinely angry for no reason.

Fang Jifan stood up. He planned to be an honest person today, but God failed to fulfill his wishes.

So, he glared at Mrs. Mu, who had a smile on her face, as if waiting to watch the excitement.

Fang Jifan replied slowly to Liu Tianzheng, "Occasionally... I read some Daoist books."

Occasionally... er, that was in my previous life.
