Regarding the sudden invitation from Puji Zhenren, the Empress Dowager was first surprised, and then she felt that this person was coming at the right time.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Originally, a woman should not interfere with the imperial court's employment. It's just related to the prince. The Ai family is concerned about it and it's a mess. The Ai family doesn't count on the good or bad of this party, but whether this person is witchy or not, is it true that Puji Zhenren reported to the emperor himself, and he came just right, so let's see him."

Emperor Hongzhi was actually quite unhappy. He didn't like Taoist priests or real people. To be honest, if it weren't for his bad character, Emperor Hongzhi would definitely reject him and would never let him enter the palace.

But the Empress Dowager was a bit convinced of this and used the words of a Taoist to determine a court minister...

Well, Fang Jifan doesn't seem to be qualified to be a court minister, but... he is a destiny official after all. It is indeed a bit of a joke to determine whether a destiny official in the court is confusing the public.

However, Emperor Hongzhi was naturally pure and filial, but he was helpless about the decision of the Empress Dowager.

After a while, the Puji Zhenren had arrived.

Today, he entered the hall wearing the Taoist robe granted by the court, and then bowed directly to the emperor and gave a big gift: "I have met the Empress Dowager, His Majesty, Empress, and His Highness..."

When the imperial court sacrificed and reported to heaven, True Man Puji was the deputy priest and had seen the true faces of noble people in the palace, so he recognized everyone in the palace.

When the Empress Dowager saw him, her face was no longer as heavy as before. She immediately became kind and said hurriedly: "There is no need to be too polite for real people."

Emperor Hongzhi was frank but ignored him.

The Empress Dowager said lightly again: "Yesterday, the Ai family ordered people to send a sutra to the real person. The person who wrote this sutra was young but was very brave. Although the Ai family reads the sutra, they don't know much about the sutra, so they really want to know the real person's views."

Zhu Houzhao could only sigh in his heart. At this time, he was too lazy to pretend to be pitiful. He couldn't help but feel depressed when he thought that Fang Jifan was going to be sent out of the capital.

After all, it was me who harmed him.

But Puji Zhenren was surprised and said, "Is this sutra written by a young man?"

True Man Puji's heart was filled with storms. He looked at the notes of the sutra and wrote the notes of the sutra, which shows how profound his understanding of the Tao Te Ching was.

Before coming here, Puji Zhenren thought that the sutra was destined to be written by a hidden master. This person should have a gray beard and at least over a hundred years old. But he never thought that he was a young man.

At this time, Puji Zhenren had the urge to find a piece of tofu to kill him. He studied scriptures for decades, but he was even worse than a young man.

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly. She was convinced by Taoist classics from the bottom of her heart, so she did not like evil and demons and heretics to tamper with the meaning of the scriptures.

Therefore, she said, "It's not just a young man, but a young man who is still young... Real person, what are the taboos in this sutra? You don't have to hide it, just report it together."

The breasts are not dry... The young man...

The old face of Puji was suddenly red, as if someone had swung his hand and was slapping himself in the face. This old face hurts so much.

After taking a deep breath, Puji Zhenren said: "Returning to the Empress Dowager, this is a Taoist classic. I admire you so much."

“…”

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

Queen Zhang looked surprised.

Zhu Xiurong, who was ashamed to look at others, also raised his eyes in surprise.

Zhu Houzhao looked around and wondered what this real person was just talking about.

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

The Empress Dowager was sitting happily, but her body trembled and she frowned in surprise and said, "Real person, what does this mean?"

The Empress Dowager still doesn't understand.

That sutra note is probably a rebellious one. She has read all the sutra notes in the world, but has never read this one. Based on the feedback from the prince and Liu Jin, she can almost confirm that this was done by Fang Jifan.

A young man, who had never practiced Taoism, actually made annotations for the Tao Te Ching. He was so bold that he heard the reply from Puji, and now that he felt that he had made some mistakes.

But Puji Zhenren Yu Daochun showed a look of respect and continued: "The Empress Dowager, I have carefully studied this sutra and read it seven times. All the Taoists in the observation have also observed it, and they all admired it very much. No... I am too offensive. The word "appreciation" is a shame, and I should worship it. I am ashamed of it. This sutra follows the scriptures since the Song and Yuan dynasties, and widely incorporates Haichuan, and has his own understanding of the Tao Te Ching. It is really rare to get it."

"What do you mean..." The Empress Dowager finally couldn't sit still and stood up slightly tremblingly. Wang Yan, who was beside her, hurriedly supported her.

The Empress Dowager opened Wang Yan and barely stood firm. Her face was filled with horror: "Isn't this a fallacy?"

Yu Dao was pure and solemn. After he learned that the author of this sutra was just a young man, he felt indescribable. But how could anyone outside the world tell lies?

He said firmly: "This is a great successor to the Laozi and Zhuang Tao Te Ching, which is not something that can be understood by merely missed. If I get this sutra, I still need to study it carefully or have new insights. However, I can be sure that once this sutra is spread, it can be comparable to the "Tao Zhenshu Collection of the True Sutras" by Zhenjing Immortal, and has been passed down for thousands of years."

At this moment, not only the Empress Dowager was surprised when she reacted, but even Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

Emperor Hongzhi did not like Taoist people, and it was preserved by history. Because of the relationship between the previous emperor, Emperor Hongzhi had a natural resentment to Taoist people, but...

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

Of course, although some people believe in this ascension, some people have doubts. However, this person's "The Collection of the True Moral Sutras" is indeed one of the true scriptures that both Zhengyidao and Quanzhen Sect are respected today. Taoism has no distinction between north and south, and both respect Zhenjing Immortal as one of the ancestors.

But now it is said that Fang Jifan's Taoist scripture can be compared with the "Minist of the Collection of Moral Sutras"?

But people couldn't help but believe this when they said it.

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

The Empress Dowager felt a little powerless. Her face was filled with surprise and mixed feelings. She stared at Puji. She not only read the "Ministry of Moral Sutra Collection" many times, but also respected the ascending true immortal.

But she could not connect the immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty with a young boy like Fang Jifan.

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

"Ai Family...Ai Family..." The Empress Dowager covered her heart and suddenly felt a little unbearable. She was so scared that Wang Yan and Empress Zhang were so anxious that she stood up to support her.

"Everything is up!" The Empress Dowager suddenly said like a loud sound. She let out a long breath, her face slightly rosy. Obviously, the breath that was holding her heart finally vented.

She stood and said, "The Ai family would never have thought that they didn't know the pearl..."

After a sigh, the Empress Dowager smiled bitterly. He read the sutra for a lifetime, but could not know the original meaning of the sutra, but shouted to beat and kill people... This made the Empress Dowager feel ashamed.

"Real person, is the other party too much honor to inherit the vassal?" The Empress Dowager could not help but suspicious.

In fact, Puji Zhenren is more ashamed than the Empress Dowager. He is a young man... Well, the one named Fang Jifan is still familiar.

Puji Zhenren didn't think too much, so he said, "Report to the Empress, I am not qualified to evaluate this person."

The Empress Dowager was even more surprised. The meaning of being ineligible was that Puji Zhenren thought that he was a thousand miles apart from following the vassal.

The Empress Dowager had already sat down. She took a deep breath and couldn't help but whisper: "Fang Jifan...Fang Jifan..."

Previously, because of the Zhang family and the Zhou family, she remembered this person, but now... the name is so impressive.

She let out a breath before saying, "But how can a young man follow this sutra? It's really a strange thing."

This is obviously difficult to explain with common sense.

True Man Puji smiled bitterly and said, "There is no distinction between enlightenment and the first and foremost. After all, I am talking about the word enlightenment. Although I am working tirelessly, I have accomplished nothing and made a joke. However, maybe he may not have another chance. If he asks it clearly, he will be clear."

The Empress Dowager thought something and had to say that she had to treat Fang Jifan carefully.

She was really surprised that such a weird guy could comprehend the Taoist scriptures. There seemed to be a light in her eyes. After a long time, she said: "The imperial edict, please come to the palace to celebrate your birthday at noon on the ninth day of the sixth month..."

Speaking of this, she paused, and seemed to feel inadequate, so she said again: "It's better for Chen Shi to come and greet the prince."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his heart was shocked.

The ninth day of the sixth lunar month is the birthday of the Empress Dowager. There is nothing wrong with entering the palace to celebrate his birthday on this day.

However, the time here has a lot of mystery.

At first, the Empress Dowager ordered Fang Jifan to come at noon, noon is noon, and noon is the time for a banquet. At this time, some destiny women would be invited to enter the palace to have a banquet at this time. However, the Empress Dowager did not like to have a grand ceremony, so the destiny women invited were mostly dukes in Beijing and first-rank maids, and there were not many people.

But the Empress Dowager quickly changed her mind and changed the noon to Chen hour. Chen hour was after Mao hour. He probably used breakfast and even asked him to greet him with the prince. This was a super-standard hospitality.
