At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

Taoist culture is profound and far-reaching.

Throughout the long river of history, so many cultures have disappeared into obscurity, and only Legalism, Taoism, and Confucianism have remained.

"Old Taoist priest, I wonder if you are willing to stay under my tutelage? I can ask His Majesty to establish a sect for you and ensure that you will be followed for generations." Ren Hao intended to recruit the old Taoist priest.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. Whether Taoism can last long or not is up to you and me. It is not up to you and me to decide."

"I am used to living a carefree life, so please don't force me." The old Taoist priest declined Ren Hao's kindness, saying that people with different beliefs cannot work together.

"I am too worldly." Ren Hao sighed and didn't try to keep him.

"Although I have no predestined relationship with the lay Buddhist, I do have a strong affinity with this young lay Buddhist."

"I wonder if you can allow this little layman to travel with me?"

"If the layman is willing, this can be considered as benefiting the people of the world and helping them avoid disaster."

The old Taoist pointed to Shi Huan who was eating beside him.

Before Ren Hao could express his opinion, Shi Huan threw down the bone stick in his hand and directly rejected the old Taoist's invitation.

After all, Ren Hao had done him a favor. Besides, he was a young guest in Ren Hao's house. Wasn't it nice to have delicious food and fish every day?

He didn't have the energy or time to live a carefree life with the old Taoist priest.

To put it nicely, this is called sleeping in the open air; to put it bluntly, it means eating one meal and starving three times, and one meal lasts for three days.

"It seems that this is a doomed fate, which I cannot change." The old Taoist sighed, as if the secret cannot be revealed.

Liang Hao who was standing next to him couldn't stand it anymore and said directly: "What do you mean by calamity or not? You are a lunatic, you demon."

Li Shiji and Shen He also seemed to agree.

Taoism was not popular in this era, and people knew very little about it, so they looked down on Taoists and called them "evil Taoists" or "demons".

However, the old Taoist priest didn't care at all and didn't refute.

People laugh at him for being too crazy, but he laughs at people for not seeing through him.

The word "disaster" sounded like nonsense to them, but it was particularly sensitive to Ren Hao's ears.

"Old Taoist priest, could you tell me something about this calamity?" Ren Hao asked curiously.

"Ziwei's descent to the mortal world is a predetermined thing." The old Taoist priest looked as if the secret could not be revealed, then he opened the window next to him and continued.

While Ren Hao was still pondering this sentence, the old Taoist priest simply climbed over the window and jumped down.

Old Taoist priest?

Ren Hao was startled for a moment, and ran to the window to look down, but there was no trace of the old Taoist priest.

He didn't even have time to ask the old Taoist priest's name, he ran away really fast.

Ren Hao shook his head helplessly and could only put aside the fate or destiny and continued to drink with everyone while letting Nong Mei continue to play the zither and dance.

While Ren Hao was drinking and chatting happily, Liu Chen had also arrived at the Weiyang Palace to meet the Emperor.

As the only son of King Qinxi who was born late in life, Liu Chen was extremely spoiled since childhood, which also made him arrogant and daring.

Now that Liu Chen had met the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty, not only did he not bow his head to the ground to pay homage, he was even bold enough to try to become friends with the Emperor, calling him "cousin".

Wen Yan frowned immediately, and the old eunuch waiting beside him immediately scolded him: "How dare you! Do you know the rules? Not only did you not bow down to His Majesty, but you even dared to use the taboos indiscriminately."

"My eldest cousin is not dissatisfied, so why are you, an old eunuch, making so much noise?" Liu Chen said unscrupulously and rolled his eyes at the old eunuch.

"We are all relatives and brothers, and there is no need to be too serious about it." Wen Yan pretended to be indifferent, but she was extremely dissatisfied in her heart.

"That is to say, this world belongs to our Liu family, so why should we be so formal?" Liu Chen smiled and sat down next to Wen Yan, ignoring the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects.

This made the old eunuch next to him very angry. It was true that the world belonged to the Liu family, but this position was not something that any Liu could hold.

Just when the old eunuch was about to lose his temper and scold Liu Chen, Wen Yan just gave him a look.

The old eunuch had no choice but to give up and shut up.

"Brother Chen, how is your father, King Qinxi, doing now?" Wen Yan asked, looking at Liu Chen.

"Thank you for your concern, cousin. Father is now as strong as an ox. He even recruited several young and beautiful princesses a few days ago." Liu Chen had a sneer on his face, mocking Wen Yan for being so young but not as good as his father.

His father has several concubines even at his old age, but your eldest cousin? Why is he keeping the queen all by himself?

If the Queen had not given birth to a prince, all the clan members would have mistakenly believed that you were not good in that aspect, just like that eunuch.

The old lady next to him heard the sarcasm in Liu Chen's words, but she was angry but dared not say anything. She could only look at Liu Chen with a resentful look.

Wen Yan could only pretend to be confused and didn't understand the meaning, and changed the subject to ask Liu Chen why he suddenly came to the capital.

"Of course I'm congratulating my eldest cousin. My eldest cousin has a son. When my father found out, he wanted to come to Beijing to congratulate him in person, but he had something else to do, so I had to do it for him."

"This time, my father has prepared 300 pieces of the finest silk, 700 taels of gold, a war horse, and a chariot for my cousin." Liu Chen took out the tribute from his arms.

The old eunuch next to him was about to take it, but Liu Chen raised his hand and rolled his eyes and said, "Go away, go away, why are you, an old eunuch, joining in the fun?"

Afterwards, Liu Chen personally delivered the tribute to Wen Yan.

"His Majesty……"

The old eunuch was afraid that there might be poison powder or something hidden in the tribute letter, and was about to speak out to stop it, but was stopped by Wen Yan's hand.

She took the tribute from Liu Chen, then opened it and looked at it herself, saying, "Your father is very thoughtful. Go back and thank your father for me."

Liu Chen nodded, then sighed and said, "Brother, I'm afraid I can't give you the war horses and chariots in this tribute."

"Why can't you give it to me?" Wen Yan pretended to be confused even though she knew the truth.

"It's like this, cousin. When I drove my chariot to the capital, the horse pulling the chariot was beaten to death by one of your ministers."

"This warhorse is my beloved horse that I raised myself. I am just waiting to give it to my eldest cousin to ride one day."

"But I never expected that the warhorse was beaten to death by a villain. I asked the minister to compensate for the warhorse, but not only did he not compensate, he also teamed up with my relatives and the princess to bully me."

"Brother, you have to make the decision for me!!!" Liu Chen kept confusing right and wrong, without mentioning his own fault of trespassing into the capital city without regard for the safety of the people.

Finally, he cried out loud with realistic acting skills and begged Wen Yan to help him and punish the Minister of Revenue.
