Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 207 The Battle Between You and Me

In a few words, Wang Zhi described this so-called magic calculation vividly.

The emperor became interested as soon as he heard it. This was much more interesting than the boring early court. Regardless of the strong opposition from the ministers, he said, "Oh! There are such people in the capital?"

Wang Zhi said again affirmatively: "I dare not lie to Your Majesty, I have already tested him, and the hexagrams I got are indeed accurate, so I have the courage to report this matter to Your Majesty."

When the emperor heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became more active, and he said: "There is really such a powerful magician, then please come into the palace and let me have a look at this fairy figure, if he can really calculate, I will It will be rewarded generously.”

Just as Wang Zhi was about to accept the order, Cao Zhengchun in the side team didn't even think about it, and immediately stopped him, saying: "Your Majesty! Lord Wang is just talking one-sidedly. If this person who doesn't know the details is allowed to enter the palace, I'm afraid it will harm His Majesty." ah."

Cao Zhengchun's words were sincere, and he seemed to be very concerned about the emperor's safety, but in essence he just wanted to stop Wang Zhi's actions.

Judging from his experience, if Wang Zhi wanted this charlatan to enter the palace, the most likely person he wanted to deal with was Dongchang, so how could he let Wang Zhi get his wish.

Seeing this scene, the emperor smiled and said, "Wang Aiqing, what do you think about Cao Aiqing's words!"

Wang Zhi scolded angrily: "Nonsense! Mr. Cao is just talking nonsense. Daoist Zhao has a great reputation in the capital. We have also conducted a detailed investigation to confirm his innocence, so we dare to speak to the emperor."

As soon as the words fell, the commander of Jin Yiwei made Qinglong take a step forward, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei understands something about this matter, what Master Wang said is true!"

Seeing this, the catcher of the six doors turned his mouth slightly, and also took the initiative to add fuel to the flames, and said, "Your Majesty! The six doors are also involved in the investigation of Daoist Zhao!"

Cao Zhengchun looked at the two with a gloomy face. If he had only guessed before, now he can confirm that these departments are really going to join forces to deal with Dongchang.

Zhu Wushi of Hulong Mountain Villa rolled his eyes. The few people who came out at this time probably planned something premeditated, but the unlucky one was Dongchang Cao Zhengchun, and he was very happy about it.

The emperor looked at the situation below, and suddenly said: "It's really interesting! It's really interesting! Cao Aiqing, Wang Aiqing has so many people testifying, so can I ask that Daoist Zhao to explain it?"

The emperor's questioning words succeeded in chilling Cao Zhengchun's heart. He knew that he was too anxious just now and accidentally violated the taboo of the court.

It is really unreasonable to openly reject the emperor's words in front of all the ministers. Although the emperor meant to ask questions just now, the chill in his words still made his heart ache.

"Your Majesty, this old slave's loyalty to His Majesty is a lesson to be learned! This old slave is only worried about His Majesty's safety."

Cao Zhengchun quickly fell to his knees and explained to the emperor on the high platform.

The rest of the ministers secretly thought it was a pity, if Cao Zhengchun didn't react, they wouldn't mind taking this opportunity to take him into the army instead.

"Hahaha, why is Cao Aiqing guilty? You are also thinking about my safety. If you want me to say that Cao Aiqing is not only innocent, but also requires a generous reward!"

The emperor turned around and spoke.

All the ministers were envious and jealous when they heard the words, how could they deal with Cao Zhengchun even being rewarded by His Majesty for such offensive words.

Cao Zhengchun knelt down and kowtowed a few more times, thanking His Majesty for his kindness.

"Yawn~ Your early memorials are really uninteresting, and my drowsiness has aroused you all.

Cao Aiqing, get up, since you are worried about my safety, you will come over there and invite that Taoist Zhao to the palace. "

The emperor yawned, and then ordered.

Cao Zhengchun knew that he had to agree this time, otherwise the rest of the officials would definitely impeach him, and the other departments would seize this opportunity to weaken him.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Cao Zhengchun replied respectfully.

Seeing that Cao Zhengchun agreed, the emperor clapped his hands happily and said, "Wang Aiqing, since you recommended this person, you must know where he is, so let Cao Aiqing walk you through it, what do you think?"

Wang Zhi explained: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to invite Daoist Zhao, and he should be waiting outside the palace gate by now!"

The emperor nodded slightly, and signaled Cao Zhengchun to leave to fetch the man.

After Cao Zhengchun saluted respectfully, he slowly walked out of the hall

After Cao Zhengchun left, the emperor looked at the civil and military officials below and said: "If this Daoist Zhao is really that kind of god, I will ask Daoist Zhao to pray for my Ming Dynasty, and ask for the blessing of the heavens, so that my country will be prosperous and the people will be safe and the weather will be smooth."

The emperor's impassioned words made all the officials below look at each other in blank dismay. As old people in the officialdom, they had already prepared for this situation.

All the officials knelt down one after another and said loudly to the emperor: "May my Ming Dynasty be blessed with good weather! May my Ming Dynasty be peaceful and peaceful!"

For a while, the voices of praises and virtues were heard endlessly in the court hall, and the emperor nodded in satisfaction seeing this situation.

Outside the palace, Liu Ruoxin and Zhao Bensan were waiting at the gate of the palace.

At this time, his clothes had been changed on the way here, with a brand-new Taoist robe, a brand-new crown and a brand-new whisk. After the change, Zhao Bensan added a lot of dust.

Liu Ruoxin said indifferently: "Master Zhao, your outfit is really a bit of fairy style, which makes people look intimidated. If you see His Majesty later, don't violate the taboo and offend Long Yan."

Zhao Bensan took a peek at the guards at the gate of the palace. He knew that Liu Ruoxin's words meant something, but it was not easy to ask in detail in this situation, so he could only shake the whisk in his hand and replied, "Taoism is natural!"

The four simple and clear words answered what Liu Ruoxin said just now. Liu Ruoxin blinked and understood the meaning of Zhao Ben's three words.

"Are you Daoist Zhao, the famous fortune teller in your recent trip?"

However, before the two could continue talking, a voice of a male duck came from not far away and interrupted their conversation.

Before the words fell, a figure quickly approached the two of them.

Liu Ruoxin saluted respectfully and said, "Liu Ruoxin from Beizhi West Factory, I have met Eunuch Cao!"

Cao Zhengchun looked at Liu Ruoxin, laughed haha, Lan Hua pointed at her and said, "Isn't this the righteous daughter of Eunuch Wang, our family was ordered by the emperor to enter the palace in Daoist Zhao."

Liu Ruoxin pointed to Zhao Bensan and said, "This person is Daoist Zhao."

At this time, Zhao Bensan maintained the demeanor of a master of Taoism, and nodded indifferently at Cao Zhengchun. Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, had a fierce reputation. sweat.

　Thanks for the support!
