Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Hehehe, good." Defang supported Concubine Di and continued walking. "Chen Tuan told Emperor Taizu that he was Fuyaozi. Taizu was very surprised. He bowed again, and Chen Tuan supported Taizu's arm and asked." Dao: Dare to ask the son's surname? Taizu replied: "No, my surname is Zhao. And reported the name taboo. At this time, Chen Tuan also cupped his hands and said: "So it is Mr. Zhao, the old way is polite. Seeing this, Taizu also hastened Repaying the gift: How dare I be the gift of the Taoist leader. Chen Tuan smiled: It is well deserved, Mr. Zhao can accept the great gift of thousands of people, but how can I not accept this old Taoist and small gift. Taizu couldn't understand why, so Chen Tuan continued Said: Mr. Zhao, the winners and losers of these three games have been decided. I wonder if Mr. Zhao is willing to honor the bet? Taizu heard this and said, "Master Dao, are you joking with me?" Chen Tuan said: "How can you be joking? Could it be Mr. Zhao Can you repent? Taizu dared to say: No, no, I am willing to bet and admit defeat. How can I go back on my word? It’s just that this Huashan is right under my feet, and it’s not owned by Mr. Zhao. What's the use of the Taoist priest's empty words? Chen Tuan said: "Mr. Zhao, the old Taoist, let me ask you, did this Mr. Huashan lose to Chen Tuan?" Taizu nodded: "Yes, I did lose this Huashan." Chen Tuan turned to Zhang Ding and said, "My dear brother, please bring the Four Treasures of the Study, so that you can write the promise on the paper." Taizu asked after hearing this: "Master Dao, do you still need to establish a written proof?" Chen Tuan nodded, Taizu It is very puzzling, but since the bet has already been made, it has to be written down. Taizu picked up the brush and said: Daoist, is it really a joke? Are you really going to write that Zhao lost to Huashanyu Daoist? Chen Tuan said with a smile : Seriously! Seriously! Mr. Zhao, please! Taizu sighed, swiped his pen and wrote down the promise, admitting that he had lost three games in a row against Chen Tuan. Finally, he wrote his name and date. Chen Tuan waved his hand and said, "Your brother, you are the guarantor. Come and write your name too. This document will be completed. So Zhang Ding also wrote his name. Chen Tuan took He took a look at the document, nodded in satisfaction, folded it and put it in his sleeve, and then said with a smile: Mr. Zhao made this document and gave Huashan Mountain to me. The old man can't be too rude. I will invite you to have a full meal today. How about a meal? Taizu was already very hungry at this time, and after thanking him, he had a full meal with Chen Tuan and Zhang Ding, stayed at the Huashan Taoist temple that night, and set off the next day."

Concubine Di laughed and said, "Patriarch Chen Tuan really made a lot of money. One meal can be exchanged for the entire Huashan Mountain."

"Yes, hehehehe, but Chen Tuan is really like a fairy. Zhou Shizong once called him into the palace to accept an official position, but Chen Tuan refused to accept it. Many years later, Chen Tuan was riding a donkey in Huayin. The horse galloped to send a message, and after asking each other, he learned that Emperor Taizu had settled down the world and founded the Great Song Dynasty, so he laughed so hard that he fell to the donkey and sat on the ground, shouting: "The world will be fixed!"

"Patriarch Chen Tuan is really a god-man."

"It is indeed a god." Defang nodded, "After the Song Dynasty, the imperial court ordered officials from all over the country to be responsible for taxation, but Huashan refused to pay. According to the written evidence of the gambling contract, the officials hurriedly reported the matter back to Beijing, and Taizu remembered the matter of Huashan, so he ordered that the Huashan area be exempted from taxes and taxes, and it will belong to Chen Tuan's Taoist family forever and shall not be violated."

"Is the handwriting of Emperor Taizu still there?"

Defang shook her head, "I don't know, maybe it's gone long ago. The official who read the handwriting has passed away, and the Emperor Taizu also issued an imperial decree. It doesn't matter whether the handwriting is still there."
