Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 208 Don't Guess The Emperor's Thoughts
Cao Zhengchun ignored the two, looked up at Zhao Bensan, Cao Zhengchun led Zhao Bensan into the palace, the guards at the palace gate got the order, they didn't stop them but let them go.

A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived in front of the main hall one after the other.

"Eunuch Cao, please stay here later, I need to report first, please forgive me!"

The guard at the gate cupped his fists and said.

Cao Zhengchun stood where he was and nodded slightly.

After the guard finished speaking, he turned and entered the palace to report to the emperor.

Looking at the majestic hall, Zhao Bensan felt panic in his heart. This is the real master of the Great Ming Dynasty.

After a while, or the guards came out from the store and shouted loudly: "Xuan, Taoist Master Zhao, the fortune teller, come in! Xuan, Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, come in!"

The two entered the hall.

All the ministers looked at Zhao Bensan, and they had to say that he looked very good at this time. Zhao Bensan was wearing a gossip robe, with a green jade hairpin tied on his head, and a shiny three-clear crown. The two cyan ribbons at the end of the crown are wobbly, and the floating dust in the hand is placed between the arms.

This attire slightly reduced the suspicion in the eyes of the officials. Anyone who saw the current Zhao Bensan would have to say something about his merits.

Cao Zhengchun walked to the front of the hall first, kowtowed to the emperor on the high platform and said, "Your Majesty, I have already brought the fortune teller."

The emperor opened his mouth and said: "Cao Aiqing is alive, please join the ranks quickly!"

After Cao Zhengchun entered the queue, Zhao Bensan went to the front of the hall and saluted respectfully.

Seeing this, Cao Zhengchun glared, and shouted angrily: "The wilderness in the country, I am lucky enough to see Your Majesty today, how dare I not kneel!"

Zhao Bensan was startled, his body remained unchanged and he performed the salute, but he kept his current identity in mind, as a capable Taoist priest, he had to be neither humble nor overbearing in the face of imperial power.

The emperor glanced at Zhao Bensan, then waved his hands and said, "Okay, Cao Aiqing, Daoist Zhao is an outsider, so you don't have to stick to common etiquette."

Zhao Bensan said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then, the emperor said: "Wang Aiqing recommended Daoist Zhao to me, saying that he has the ability to count everything in the world? I don't know what Wang Aiqing said?"

Zhao Bensan thought inwardly that he was unlucky, he was only able to make a living in this world with a little cleverness, if he really had these abilities, why would he go to Beijing to join his cousin.

Zhao Bensan quickly thought of countermeasures, the emperor had already asked a question, he had to find a way to reply in the shortest possible time, otherwise his fate would be obvious.

Within a few breaths, Zhao Ben said with three serious faces: "If your majesty is referring to the ability to go to heaven and earth and turn stones into gold, there is absolutely no such thing as a poor man."

The emperor said "Oh", as if he was interested in the Taoist's truth.

Zhao Bensan went on to say: "Pindao entered the Taoist school when he was young, and there are several Taoist scriptures in the school that I often recite. Over the years, Pindao has been involved in the art of magic. As for the great reputation spread by the outside world , it makes His Majesty laugh."

Zhao Bensan's well-founded words made the eyes of the important ministers in the hall flicker. This Daoist Zhao is definitely not an ordinary person.

"What he said first denied that he had the ability to penetrate the heavens and penetrate the earth, and then alluded to the fact that he did have the ability to calculate. He put himself in a proper position. This Daoist Zhao is really incredible."

Cao Zhengchun thought to himself.

The emperor laughed, pointed at His Highness Zhao Bensan and said, "The Taoist priest is really eloquent. Since he didn't deny the magic trick, I wonder if the principal can do a fortune telling for me?"

Zhao Bensan raised his head when he heard the words, glanced at the emperor's face, and continued: "Your Majesty, it's not that the boss doesn't want to share your worries, but that Your Majesty, as the king of a country, bears the destiny of the entire Ming Dynasty. No one can count His Majesty's fate."

As soon as Zhao Bensan said this, the emperor turned his head and shouted into the room: "Buddha seal, Linglingfa, you two should come out quickly."

Foyin and Ling Lingfa suddenly ran out of the room, waiting for the emperor's order.

The emperor pointed to His Highness Zhao Bensan and said: "Zhao Daochang said that I have a great destiny, and no one in the world can calculate a divination for me! What do you two think?"

Unexpectedly, Linglingfa and Foyin had already rushed to His Royal Highness Zhao Bensan's side, and the two began to study Zhao Bensan in whispers.

The emperor was full of black lines, and shouted to the two of them: "Didn't you hear what I said?"

Ling Lingfa said: "Your Majesty, if you want to test whether what he said is true, you need to use the latest lie tester invented by the minister."

Foyin said solemnly: "Your Majesty, monks don't lie. Foyin is just a monk in the temple. When it comes to the so-called luck, the poor monk can only say that he doesn't understand."

The emperor looked at the two with a smile on his face. These two guys are definitely top masters in making trouble, but they completely disrupted the rhythm as soon as they appeared on the stage.

Zhao Bensan felt uneasy, the two people beside him were really weird, he doubted whether they were normal people, or why they were so out of place in this store.

All the ministers looked at the two calmly. They were already immune to these two living treasures, but they didn't know the emperor's purpose for letting them appear.

"Zhao Daochang, since you can't predict my fate, then my two guards..."

The emperor said with a smile on his face.

At this time, the officials understood the emperor's intentions. He had doubts about the Taoist priest, so he wanted to use Linglingfa and Foyin, two troublemakers, to try out the level of the fortune teller.

Zhao Bensan shook off the floating dust, turned around and looked at Linglingfa not far away, and after looking carefully for a while, he said to the emperor: "The secret of the heavens should not be revealed, and the spell of the poor is to intercept that aura of light, Your Majesty, With Pindao's current strength, one hexagram per day is already the limit.

What's more, many of the adults in the hall are people with profound luck. If they want to get more accurate hexagrams, Pindao has to spend more energy.

Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!I hope His Majesty will forgive me! "

The emperor nodded, he still agreed with Zhao Benshan's statement, but if it could be deduced without restriction, he would not believe it.

After the emperor agreed, Zhao Bensan asked Lingling: "I don't know what this guard wants to count?"

Ling Lingfa smiled and said: "I have been in the palace for many days and haven't come home. I wonder if the Taoist chief can figure out what my wife is doing now?"

Hearing the words, Foyin moved closer to him and began to wink.

The emperor above said angrily: "Okay, you are a piece of cake, you don't want to go home, but you have to rely on my head. Be careful, I will send someone to stop your medical clinic."

Linglingfa turned pale with shock, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't want it. The minister's clinic is specially set up for those sisters. If there is no minister's clinic, they will suffer!"

Zhao Bensan was looking at Ling Lingfa carefully. Hearing what he said just now, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this guard looked too familiar.
