Chapter 141 Verification

   This situation is really dire. In Zhu Houzhao\'s heart, Fang Jifan\'s weight is very heavy, and he naturally does not want Fang Jifan to suffer.

   Well, we have to find someone to take the blame for the two of them!

   And Liu Jin, who followed Zhu Houzhao, stood in the corner of the hall. When he heard it, a suspicious liquid suddenly wet his crotch. As soon as his legs softened, he felt dizzy and fell down.

  The empress dowager said with chilling eyes: "Come here..."

   "The servant girl is wronged!"

  It\'s already at this time, Liu Jin knows that it\'s a life-and-death moment, how dare he block the gun for Fang Jifan.

  He kowtowed like pounding garlic, weeping bitterly: "Your servant is a person in the palace, how can you not know the rules in this palace, my servant... this servant did not copy for His Highness, I am wronged!"

  As soon as Liu Jin called for injustice, the Empress Dowager understood what was going on, and said sharply, "If it\'s not you, then who is it?"

  Liu Jin raised her head subconsciously, and took a cautious look at Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao looked at ease, his face was not flushed, and he was not panting, but in fact he was very nervous inside, and he didn\'t say a word.

   All of this was taken into consideration by the Empress Dowager. Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Is it Fang Jifan?"

  Liu Jin burst into tears like rain, Qiqi Ai Ai said: "I dare not speak."

  The answer is ready.

   Guaranteed to be Fang Jifan! Otherwise, Liu Jin would definitely deny it, so how could he dare not say it?

  The empress dowager\'s face was sallow, looking terrifying!

She took a deep breath and said: "It\'s terrible to distort the scriptures and deviate from the scriptures. Such a person still stays with the prince. If he misleads the prince, this is a serious matter. Aijia Fang Jifan has no prejudice , and even felt that this person was extremely smart, completely different from ordinary young people. It is rare that the crown prince likes him, and there is nothing wrong with reading with him. But now it seems..."

With a cold face, she glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who realized that the matter was more serious than she had imagined, and then asked Wang Yan, "Wang Yan, immediately pick out the deviant parts from this evil scripture, and submit them to the Ai family. Call the emperor again, this matter, the Ai family has to take care of it."

  Wang Yan originally wanted to accept it. After all, the Empress Dowager wanted to criticize it from the scriptures first, and then invite Her Majesty here to question her face to face.

  Fang Jifan... I am afraid that the good times are coming to an end.

  But when he looked up, he saw Zhu Houzhao looking at him coldly, and his heart thumped suddenly!

   No, I made a mistake in this scripture. If I made a good choice, I would offend His Royal Highness. If I didn’t make a good choice, I can’t explain it to the Empress Dowager. This... is actually a trap.

  Furthermore, he serves the Empress Dowager, and has been reading the scriptures with the Empress Dowager all the time. He is familiar with the scriptures, but he has only a half-knowledge of the meaning of the scriptures.

  In fact, this is understandable. The scriptures are hard to understand. He doesn\'t know what nonsense is in the scriptures.

  After a short period of deliberation, he wept and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, this servant thinks that it is better to ask real people to examine these scriptures in person."

  The Empress Dowager was in a fit of anger. Seeing Wang Yan\'s excuses, she was originally very angry, but after hearing Wang Yan\'s explanation, her face softened a bit.

  That’s right, how can you expect an **** to find out the mistakes in the scriptures? Even so, it’s hard to convince the crowd!

  Fang Jifan is Nanhe Bozi after all, he is the prince\'s companion, and it is said that the emperor has praised him a lot recently. If you want to convince the emperor, you need to be justified!

  So she nodded and nodded: "Send this scripture to the Daolu Department, and order him to call Longquanguan Puji Daoist to personally verify it, so that... it can also be explained to the next one in the palace."

  Wang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least...this matter has nothing to do with her.

As for the Daoist Puji of Longquan Temple, he has always been trusted by his empress. When Emperor Chenghua was there, Taoist priests were flying all over the sky. Everyone took this opportunity to please Emperor Chenghua, and some even took the opportunity to mess up the government. , but the real Puji did not get involved, and still hid in the Taoist temple to read scriptures.

Even if the emperor summoned him repeatedly, this Puji Daoist refused to enter the palace, saying that a person who cultivates the Tao should focus on reading scriptures and practicing, and alchemy is a heretical way. His Majesty called Xiaodao into the palace. If he wanted to learn the scriptures, Xiaodao was willing to go. If you want to summon Xiaodao to make alchemy, you dare not go.

   As a result, this real Puji was left out in the cold. If the Empress Dowager hadn\'t respected his character, he would have been murdered by other Taoists long ago! This guy is not enlightened, everyone is making alchemy, but you are reading the scriptures, what do you mean, smashing your job?

   After Emperor Chenghua passed away, most of the rest of the Taoists were expelled, but this Puji Daoist person, on the contrary, skyrocketed, so that even the Longquan Temple where he lived also rose.

   Now, the Empress Dowager ordered Puji Zhenzhen to verify it. It couldn\'t be better.

  So Wang Yan hurriedly collected the scriptures, and then went to the Ministry of Rites. The officials of the Daolu Department of the Ministry of Rites saw it and found out that it was the oral order issued by the Empress Dowager, so how dare she neglect it.

   It\'s just a thought, but I can\'t help muttering, how big is the matter, and the empress dowager needs to order it herself?

  If it is an ordinary Taoist, the official of the Daolu Department who is in charge of managing the Taoist sect can summon him with just one official document.

  But the status of this Puji Daoist is different, so the Ministry of Rites still personally took the "Truth of Taoism" to the Longquan Temple outside Xizhimen.

  Puji Zhenren Yu Daochun learned that the Empress Dowager came to read the scriptures, but he was also puzzled.

  When he was in Chenghua for the second year, he had already been granted the title of Master of Tiyuan Shou Dao and Enlightenment of the Law. After that, he took charge of Longquan Temple and was named Puji Daoist. When Emperor Chenghua passed away and Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he was decreed as "Antian Nutrients Chongxu Zhanran Performance Jinghua Puji Real Man". The name is very long, and generally the longer the name, the more powerful it is.

  In addition to this, the royal family also granted a second grade silver medal. Therefore, among Taoists, many people believed that Puji Zhenren was the leader of Zhengyi in the north.

It must be known that in the whole of Ming Dynasty, only two sects obtained legal status, the Quanzhen Sect in the north, and the Zhengyi sect in the Jiangnan. It was recognized by the imperial court, and thus weakened, or eventually became a branch of the two major schools.

   Quanzhen Sect is very popular in the north, and there is almost no place for Zhengyi. Among them, Baiyun Temple in the capital is the most popular. Puji Zhenren, as a righteous Taoist in the south of the Yangtze River, has flourished in the capital, which can be regarded as an anomaly.

  So Yu Daochun came to greet the official in person, and welcomed the official to Luzu Hall. The two sat down separately.

  Hearing that someone misinterpreted the Tao Te Ching, Yu Daochun immediately showed displeasure.

   Such deviant things are actually becoming less and less.

Since Emperor Taizu Gao appointed Zhengyi and Quanzhen as the orthodox Taoist sects, the imperial court\'s control over Taoist sects has also become stricter. In order to prevent evil sects from crooked ways from misinterpreting the Taoist scriptures, the Daolu Department will often strengthen them. punish.

After all, the commentary on this Tao Te Ching has become an official act, and it is not uncommon for some people with ulterior motives to use this Tao Te Ching to secretly misinterpret it, gather three religions and nine streams in the local area, and plot wrongdoing. resentment.

  So he said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Pindao will definitely check it carefully."

   After responding to the matter, he sent the officials away, and Yu Daochun summoned a few disciples.

  These disciples are all in their 40s and 50s, and have followed Yu Daochun for decades. They sat cross-legged, and Yu Daochun turned to a disciple and said, "Come and read..."

"Yes." The disciple nodded, and then took the "Tao De Zhen Jing Ji Yi", and recited: "The husband and the Tao, the primordial X is nothingness, the chaos is natural, and the two forms are born from it, and all things are formed from it. If you can\'t get it, you can make it famous, and if you force it, you can call it Tao..."

  When he first listened, Yu Daochun\'s face was solemn, while the other disciples also showed dissatisfaction.

  Although the understanding of Taoism is different from Zhengyi and Quanzhen, and there are many branches within Zhengyi, but no matter how they say it, they still respect the annotations of other Taoism.

   It’s just that this scripture commentary came from nowhere, obviously it was written by someone with ulterior motives. Now that the Empress Dowager personally sent this scripture commentary, everyone’s first thought is that this must be some kind of evil book.

  But... only a beginning, the disciples who couldn\'t bear it, were already gearing up to find fault, but they were all stunned.

  At the beginning, although I didn’t go into depth, I just started to explain from Dao Ke Dao and Extra Dao, but it seems that there is no problem.

   Moreover, just this opening chapter, not only does not feel that it is deviant, but... actually implies a deeper truth in the Tao Te Ching.

  The disciples looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

  Yu Daochun seemed to have noticed something was wrong, so he said to the disciple who was reading: "Take me to see."

  Now, he really wants to know what else is written below. It is really unbearable to wait for others to recite it. It would be more realistic to see it himself.

   So the disciple hurriedly presented the "Tao De Zhen Jing Ji Yi".

   Yu Daochun sat upright and began to look.

  ‘Therefore, at the beginning of the first chapter, it is advisable to end the sentence with Dao, just like the chapters used in the middle of the scriptures, it is also the first to reveal a word...’

   After Yu Daochun read the next sentence, his pupils began to shrink.

   This sentence is still the interpretation of "Tao can be Tao, very Tao".

  He couldn\'t help muttering in a low voice: "Therefore, the first chapter must be based on the Tao... Yes, yes, the Tao is the foundation of the Tao Te Ching..."

   After reading this, Yu Daochun frowned even deeper. Compared with other Sutra commentaries in previous dynasties, this scripture commentary did not feel rebellious, but Yu Daochun felt that it was integrated with the scriptures he was reciting!

   Such interpretations are even more refreshing.

  …

   After updating the last chapter every day, Tiger feels relieved, but thinking of coding tomorrow, this feeling should not be too good. Well, everyone is waiting for Tiger to update every day. Thinking about it this way, I am motivated again! Well, please count the votes by the way!
