The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1503

[1503. Chapter 1427 The Saint Appears]

Everyone can understand what Emperor Hongzhi meant.

Rumors like this suddenly spread in the market. It would be unintentional. The most worrying thing is that someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to become a saint.

In this world, most people follow blindly, which gives many careerists room to play tricks.

Now that these words are suddenly spreading, and the rumors are getting more and more intense, why shouldn’t the court be on guard.

Unfortunately, such rumors are almost impossible to trace back to their source.

Everyone will talk about this kind of rumor when they hear it, and thoughtful people will arrange for many people to join the topic.

Therefore, no matter how powerful the factory guard is, he cannot follow the clues. After all, there are too many people talking about it, and no one can tell where the source is.

Therefore, after the monarchs and ministers joked and joked, they each became quiet.

Since someone wants to be a saint, then…who is it?

The monarchs and ministers were speechless for a moment.

“Your Majesty.” Liu Jian called solemnly, but did not say the following words. Instead, he thought for a while before speaking.

“Right now, instead of digging into the details, it’s better to just watch and see who this saint is. Then everything will be clear.”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: “But the court must be prepared.”

Ping retreated. A few bachelors.

Emperor Hongzhi was still a little worried. He looked up at Xiao Jing, his energetic face full of seriousness.

“Xiao Banban, I asked the Qintian Supervisor, the Academy of Sciences, the Hanlin Academy, and the cabinet. Still… there is still no clue. Although we have to be careful, but if this doubt is not revealed now, I will finally It’s because I can’t sleep and eat well…”

Xiao Jing guessed what Emperor Hongzhi meant, thought for a moment, and then said: “Your Majesty… means…”

Emperor Hongzhi spoke to Xiao Jing.

“Li Chaowen, the real person of Longquan Temple, I heard that this person has supernatural powers. Of course, I don’t necessarily believe this. But since this person is a stranger, you might as well summon him to meet him, pass on my will, and let him enter the palace. Oh, I I heard… Longquan Temple is now very popular and prosperous. “

“It’s more than its peak…” Xiao Banban said a little jealously. Thinking of the prosperity of Longquan Temple, Xiao Jing felt really regretful. Really, if he had known that he wouldn’t have done it in the first place. It doesn’t matter if you should be a eunuch or a Taoist. A true Taoist can marry a wife, have children, buy a house, and is very beautiful.

Emperor Hongzhi didn’t care what Xiao Jing was thinking at this moment, and what Xiao Jing was thinking was harmless, so he didn’t care about Xiao Jing’s distraction and said, “Tell Li Chaowen.”

“Yes.”

………

Longquan Temple.

Other times it’s fine.

The Taoists at Longquan Temple were very busy.

After all, there are too many industries now.

Those who show Feng Shui to people, those who celebrate weddings and funerals, and those who show yin and yang to dignitaries, all belong to the traditional work of Zhengyi.

What is Tao? Tao is for the people of the world to solve problems that science cannot explain.

The Taoist sect is different from other gods and Buddhas. They completed the transformation a long time ago and never messed around with nothing. It can be said that they have gone deep into the army.

Not only that, the talismans of Longquan Temple have been selling like hotcakes recently, so the brothers who wrote the talismans and a group of young Taoist priests were also very busy writing the talismans.

There are also people who come to ask for a fortune and ask about their future. Recently, Daomen has begun to cooperate with the Non-Human Research Institute of Xishan Medical College, focusing on the science of resolving people’s depression and releasing their souls.

But most of the people who come to ask about their future have encountered troubles in reality. Rather than asking God about their future, it is better to say that they have unhealthy factors in their hearts.

In order to relieve the depression in the hearts of pilgrims, it is also very reasonable to study and discuss with Taoist friends from the Institute of Non-Human Psychiatry.

Longquan Temple even plans to jointly launch funeral services with Xishan Medical College. There are many people who have died in the medical school, and those who died of illness will inevitably feel a little sad. At this time, people can come out and provide one-stop services directly. Longquan Temple will be responsible for chanting Recite scriptures, perform rituals, summon souls, etc., and then help people find a good place to bury them, so that their descendants will be blessed.

Master Li Chaowen took charge of Longquan Temple himself, and Longquan Temple began to prosper from then on. Even the land of Longquan Temple was all given to Xishan, but without land, Longquan Temple not only did not weaken, but became prosperous. The people of the Middle Taoism live a prosperous life, and the Longquan Temple is well-known. They can do as many things as they have money, and the prices are clearly marked, and they will never deceive the victims. They are completely different from those wild Taoist people.

All the senior fellow apprentices, disciples, and grandsons in the temple admired Master Li Chaowen greatly.

A few days ago, Longquan Temple also donated a sum of money to Qinghe, Shandong. When there was a disaster there, not only did it send Taoist priests to perform rituals for free, but the donation of 200,000 taels of silver also attracted people’s attention.

Over at Honglu Temple, Longquan Temple is also enshrined as a treasure. In the past, the chief officer in charge of Taoist affairs had his eyes turned to the sky, but now, he has become a sworn friend with Zhenren Li.

But… no matter how many things there are, for Li Chaowen, they are not as urgent as the things that his uncle has told him.

He turned away everything.

There is only one thing that he does every day, rain or shine.

That is to get up early in the morning and take all the Taoist priests to the Sanqing Palace to recite the Longquan Sutra.

This sutra was sung by everyone starting from Emperor Taizu Gao, then by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and finally by the current emperor. Li Chaowen requires all Taoists not only to read diligently every day, but also to memorize it backwards and forwards. When they get up early in the morning, the first homework is this.

This is called admiring God’s grace.

After leading all the Taoist priests to finish their morning lessons, Li Chaowen took off the Taoist robes given by the imperial court and put on regular clothes. Then, he returned to his room, started to write, and wrote notes one by one. Taoists everywhere act according to orders.

What the master uncle told us was no small matter, and nothing should be done carelessly.

Then, a little Taoist priest actually sent a letter.

The little Taoist priest said: “Master, it was sent from the Duke of Qi’s residence.”

Li Chaowen did not dare to neglect, so he quickly took it. After receiving it, he was shocked. He looked down at the note and was speechless.

“Master, Master…” The little Taoist priest saw that Li Chaowen’s expression was a little strange and couldn’t help calling in a low voice.

“Oh.” Li Chaowen was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said to the little Taoist priest.

“It’s nothing.”

There was no expression on his face and he was calm, which made the little Taoist unable to guess at all.

Immediately, Li Chaowen said calmly: “Go back and report to Uncle Master, so that he can rest assured that Xiaodao will obey his orders.”

As he said that, he opened the incense burner and put the letter into the incense burner. Suddenly, the fire met the paper and sprang up. The flames are gone, and the fireworks are more intense.

Li Chaowen lightly covered the stove and took a deep breath.

He believed in his uncle, not to mention just asking him to do these things. Even if he were asked to jump into the fire now, he would never frown.

………

“Master, Master…”

Someone outside called anxiously: “Master, someone is coming from the palace. Please come to the palace to see the master.”

At this time, in the dining room, Li Chaowen had already changed. After wearing the Taoist robes given by the imperial court, he was full of energy and his face remained calm, as if he had known that the palace’s decree would come. He calmly said, “Enter the palace!”

…

Longquan looked outside.

A specially made carriage was already waiting.

Longquan Temple has a lot of money, and its industry involves people getting sick and dying. As a real person in Longquan Temple, the carriage Li Chaowen ordered from the Xishan Carriage Making Workshop is specially customized. There are only ninety-nine units in the world. One of them is in In Li Chaowen’s name, he got into the carriage, and then… the carriage set off towards the palace.

Chapter 3 arrived. I was so tired that I fell asleep.
