Chapter 66 Mostly to scam people
Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er, that person outside is my father? ]
The court officials were shocked and stole glances at the emperor, only to find that the emperor's expression had calmed down again and he even nodded slightly at them.
The court officials also calmed down, thinking that most of the people outside were scammers.
System: [This... I'm not sure. ]
The people who had just calmed down shuddered all over and glanced at Yuan Ruan secretly.
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? That shouldn't be the case! Tong'er, didn't you clearly say that I belong to my brother...]
"Cough, cough, cough..." The emperor began to cough wildly.
The court officials looked at the emperor in confusion.
Yuan Ruan also looked at the emperor worriedly: [Brother, you are about to cough up your lungs. Are you okay? ]
System: [He must be fine. He was probably bitten. Yes, I said before that you are the emperor's biological sister, but in the past two months, you can see that the gossip I revealed was both right and wrong, so I am not sure now.]
The court officials showed expressions of sudden enlightenment. Oh, so it was because they were not sure about this. It’s okay, as long as they know that they had revealed their background before...
etc?!
The background of the little imperial teacher was revealed before? The emperor's biological sister?
But...it's been several years since the previous emperor passed away!
So the late emperor and his concubines... Your Majesty's cough is to interrupt this scandal? !
Thinking of this, the expressions of the court officials instantly stiffened. The younger officials trembled with fear, and the older officials kept rubbing their ears, pretending to be hard of hearing and didn't hear anything clearly.
As for the emperor, empress and their family who were suddenly silent on the stage, they remained silent, leaving the emperor some quiet space.
The emperor had a blank expression and covered his face.
Yuan Ruan: [That's right, I'll wait until I see the person first. A 50% accuracy rate is already very impressive. Don't be sad, Tong'er, you are the best! ]
System: [Woo woo woo, Ah Ruan, you are the softest-hearted god. ]
The court officials felt the same way.
The Queen and her entourage took Yuan Ruan back to the palace to rest.
The young officials wanted to eat the melons, but were ruthlessly sent away by the palace guards.
Only the emperor, the crown prince, the three ministers, the inner cabinet, and the six ministers remained in Yu Garden.
The Minister of War was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the Dragon and Tiger Dojo has a very close relationship with the State of Chu. They came here and wanted to be the master of our small country! I think they have bad intentions, so it is better to drive them away."
The emperor did not say anything, and the Minister of Rites objected, "No, seven out of ten Taoist priests in the world come from the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple."
The Minister of War said disdainfully: "I'm not afraid! If you have the guts, strike me with lightning."
The Minister of Rites choked and said angrily: "Minister of War, do you remember this sentence from Xunzi, 'If things are not polite, they will not be successful; if the country is not polite, it will not be peaceful.' As the ministers of a country, we cannot act so arrogantly."
The other civil servants nodded.
The Minister of War calmed down and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty! I know that the other party is fake, but now the system has become less confident. What if the other party is particularly good at deceiving us and our country mistakenly believes them and follows them? Our country's destiny has gone to other countries? I can't admit it! Get out of here as soon as possible and live in peace!"
After these words were spoken, even the Minister of Rites shut up.
As the choice concerned the fate of a small country, the court officials all looked a little nervous.
The emperor looked at the prince and asked, "What do you think?"
The prince also said, "Father, I think both ministers have their reasons. But there is no need to expel them. We just need to keep the Taoist priest in the capital and investigate their purpose. Then we can see what happens next."
All the court officials suddenly understood and said, "Yes, yes, the prince has considered everything carefully."
The little imperial master is still a baby. Unless they summon people into the palace, these Taoists have no way to seduce the little imperial master. They can be kept for investigation first.
The emperor nodded in approval.
The emperor made the final decision and the matter was settled.
…
At the same time, several Taoist priests from the Longhu Dojo sat facing each other and drank tea slowly.
Taoist Master Wen suddenly asked, "Taoist Master Fang, are you really the father of that young imperial teacher?"
Many Taoist priests looked at Taoist priest Fang.
Taoist Fang said, "The little imperial teacher was adopted by the Great Xia Emperor when he was on a tour to the west. Her biological mother and father are unknown. Is that correct?"
The Taoists nodded.
Taoist Fang said, "We are eager to see the Emperor of Daxia, but we are being pushed back. Is that right?"
The Taoists nodded again.
Taoist Fang: "So it doesn't matter whether it matters or not. As long as we send this message, the Emperor of Daxia will definitely meet with us."
The Taoists took a deep breath. Taoist Master Wen couldn't help but said, "Taoist Master Fang, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor! This... this..."
Several Taoist priests also became anxious and said one after another: "Master Fang... The Emperor of Xia is cruel and would confiscate property and exterminate clans at any time. He is also not like the emperors of other countries who pray to gods and worship Taoism. Once he finds out that we are playing tricks on him, then we will..."
"Everyone, please be patient." Taoist Fang stood up and stretched out his hand to press down. "Everyone, what do you think of this young and young Great Xia Imperial Master who suddenly appeared out of nowhere?"
The Taoists looked at each other and discussed:
"The child is only a few months old and can't even read the Tao Te Ching. There must be someone hiding behind this little imperial teacher."
"I have never seen such an unscrupulous Taoist friend hiding behind a child. I guess his Taoist skills are not deep enough and he is afraid that he will be exposed and won't be able to escape in time."
"What do you mean by exposing him? He just hasn't cultivated enough to begin with. If it were me, I would definitely not..."
…
Taoist Fang saw that the words were getting more and more sour, so he couldn't help but change the subject: "The people behind the young imperial master have already praised him so highly. The relationship between a master and a master is not as close as that between a father and a master. If he doesn't want to make wedding dresses for us, he must come out and compete with us. In this way, won't we have the opportunity to meet each other and see what kind of person he is?!"
Taoist Master Wen raised his thumbs up and said, "Great! What Taoist Master Fang said is very true! The other party must be reluctant to give up the money tree that he has created with great difficulty. We are not afraid that the other party will continue to be a shrinking turtle. Alas, pushing a child to the position of national teacher to make false claims is really damaging the reputation of our Taoism."
Taoist Master Zhou, who was sitting on the right, said contemptuously, "There is no such evil disciple in the Dragon and Tiger Dojo. He must have come from some small, broken temple. He is eager to make money but afraid of causing trouble. He is a petty person."
Taoist Fang, who was sitting in the center, spoke slowly: "Don't underestimate this man. The Emperor of Xia is not a man who is easy to deceive. He must have some tricks to summon thunder and lightning under his nose."
Taoist Wen quickly sealed the city and said, "I've heard about it. It's said that the little national teacher struck the rebels with lightning. Ha, that's because only the rebels held the iron sword high up. It was a thunderstorm, so who else would be struck? As for the lightning lighting the candles, it's probably a trick. If we really want to talk about the ancestors who played with lightning, who can compare to Taoist Fang, who can create lightning out of nothing and has amazing destructive power."
The other Taoist priests also nodded.
Taoist Zhou shook his head and said, "Indeed, Taoist Fang is the only one who can detonate mines in broad daylight. The other party must have only learned a few basics. When he meets Taoist Fang, he will immediately kneel down and pay homage to the ancestor."
Taoist Fang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoists. If we can finish this sooner, we can also reply to the Grand Master of Chu State sooner."
After saying this, Taoist Fang saw that some people were still timid. He narrowed his eyes and said, "After exposing the fake Imperial Master, we will arrange for a fellow Taoist to come to Daxia Kingdom to serve as the Imperial Master. You can speak freely."
After these words were spoken, the fellow Taoists who had originally wanted to withdraw became excited and actively participated in the topic.
Taoist Fang smiled faintly.
