Chapter 208 Don’t guess the emperor’s thoughts

Cao Zhengchun ignored the two of them and looked up at Zhao Bensan. Cao Zhengchun led Zhao Bensan into the palace. The guards at the palace gate got the order and let them go without intercepting them.

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

"Eunuch Cao, please stay here later. We need to inform you first. Please forgive me!"

The guard guarding the door clasped his fists and said.

Cao Zhengchun stood where he was and nodded slightly.

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

Zhao Bensan looked at the majestic hall, feeling panic in his heart. This was the real master of the Ming Dynasty.

After a while, the guard came out of the store and shouted loudly: "Xuan, the divine fortune teller Zhao Daochang has come in! Xuan, the director of the Dongchang factory, Cao Zhengchun, has come in!"

The two of them then entered the main hall.

All the ministers looked at Zhao Bensan. It must be said that he looked very good at this time. Zhao Bensan was wearing a Bagua Taoist robe, with an emerald green jade hairpin on his head, and a shining Sanqing crown.

The two cyan ribbons at the end of the crown are swaying unsteadily, and the dust in the hand is even placed between the arms.

This attire made the suspicion in the eyes of the officials slightly lessen. Anyone who saw the current Zhao Bensan would have to say that he had achieved great success.

Cao Zhengchun took the lead to walk to the front of the palace, kowtowed to the emperor on the high platform and said: "Your Majesty, I have brought the fortune teller here."

The emperor said: "Cao Aiqing is still alive, hurry up and join the ranks!"

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

When Cao Zhengchun saw this, he glared and shouted angrily: "It's a wild road in the countryside. I'm lucky enough to see your Majesty today, but how dare you not kneel down!"

Zhao Bensan was startled in his heart, but his body remained unchanged and he performed the Taoist ritual. He kept in mind his current status. As a capable Taoist priest, he had to be neither humble nor overbearing when facing the imperial power.

The emperor glanced at Zhao Bensan, then waved his hand and said, "Okay Cao Aiqing, Taoist Zhao is a foreigner, so you don't have to stick to vulgar etiquette."

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

Then, the emperor said: "Wang Aiqing recommended Daochang Zhao to me, saying that he has an all-powerful ability and can calculate all things in the world? I wonder what Wang Aiqing said?"

Zhao Bensan thought to himself that he was unlucky. He was just relying on a little cleverness to make a living in this world. If he really had these skills, why would he go to Beijing to join his cousin?

Zhao Bensan quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind. The emperor had already asked, and he had to think of a way to answer the question in the shortest possible time, otherwise his end might be obvious.

Within a few breaths, Zhao Bensan said with a serious face: "If your Majesty is referring to the ability to go to heaven and earth, and pick up the Midas touch and turn it into gold, I will never have it."

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

Zhao Bensan continued: "Pindao entered the Taoist sect when he was young. There are several Taoist scriptures in the sect 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,

, but it makes His Majesty laugh."

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

"With his words, he first denied that he had the power to reach heaven and earth, and then alluded to his ability to do calculations, putting himself in an appropriate position. This Daochang Zhao is really incredible."

Cao Zhengchun thought in his heart.

The emperor laughed, pointed at His Highness Zhao Bensan and said, "The Taoist priest is really eloquent. Since he has not denied the art of divine arithmetic, I wonder if the principal can make a fortune for me?"

Zhao Bensan raised his head after hearing this, glanced at the emperor's face, and then continued: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to share your worries, but that as the king of a country, your Majesty is responsible for the fate of the entire Ming Dynasty.

No one can calculate His Majesty’s fate.”

As soon as Zhao Bensan said these words, the emperor turned towards the room and shouted: "Foyin, Ling Lingfa, you two have to come out quickly."

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

The emperor pointed at His Highness Zhao Bensan and said: "Taoist Master Zhao said that I have the destiny of the Ming Dynasty, and no one in the world can predict it for me! What do you two think?"

Unexpectedly, Ling Lingfa and Foyin had already rushed to His Highness Zhao Bensan, and they were studying Zhao Bensan in whispers.

The emperor's head was full of black lines and he shouted loudly 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 is telling the truth, you must use the lie tester, your latest invention."

Foyin said seriously: "Your Majesty, monks do not 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 does not understand."

The emperor looked at the two of them with a smile on his face. These two guys were definitely the top masters in making trouble. As soon as they appeared on the scene, they completely disrupted the rhythm.

Zhao Bensan felt uneasy. The two people beside him were really weird. He wondered if these two people were normal people, or else why they were out of place in this store.

The ministers looked at the two people with calm faces. They had long been immune to these two living treasures, but they didn't know the emperor's purpose of letting these two people appear.

"Daozhang Zhao, since you can't calculate my fate, then my two guards..."

The emperor said with a smile on his face.

Only then did all the ministers understand the emperor's intentions. He had doubts about this Taoist priest, so he wanted to use Ling Lingfa and Foyin, two troublemakers, to test the level of the divine fortune teller.

Zhao Bensan shook off the dust and turned to look at Ling Lingfa not far away. After looking at it carefully for a while, he said to the emperor: "The secret of heaven cannot be leaked. The magic of Pindao is to intercept that ray of light. Your Majesty,

With Pindao's current strength, calculating one hexagram every day is the limit.

What's more, many of the adults in the hall are people with profound luck. If he wants to get more accurate hexagrams, I have to spend more energy. After today, I am afraid that I will not be able to get hexagrams again in a short time.

Infinite Heavenly Lord! I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"

The emperor nodded. He still recognized Zhao Benshan's statement. If it could be deduced without any restrictions, he would not believe it.

After the emperor agreed, Zhao Bensan asked Ling Lingfa: "I wonder what this guard wants to do?"

Ling Lingfa chuckled and said: "I have been in the palace for many days and have not returned home. I wonder if Taoist Master can figure out what my wife is doing now?"

Hearing this, Foyin came close to him and began to wink.

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

Ling Lingfa was shocked and said quickly: "Your Majesty, you don't want it. The hospital is specially set up for the sisters. If there is no hospital, they will suffer!"

Zhao Bensan was looking at Ling Lingfa carefully. After hearing what he just said, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this guard looked too familiar.

Thanks for the support!
