Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 483 Strategies Against Barbarians
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned his head to look at him, and then followed the direction of his finger, only to see a man with two accompanying servants coming this way in the distance ahead.

This person, Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew, was Pang Tianshou, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor.The original eunuch Wang Dehua, who was in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, was reported by others for corruption and money, so he was demoted to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb.

Emperor Chongzhen made a private visit in micro-clothes, and naturally he didn't want more people who knew him to see him, so he walked to the side of the crowd, hiding in the crowd, and prepared to go shopping after Pang Tianshou passed by.

However, what Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that Pang Tianshou didn't see him, and after he walked by, he greeted the person who wanted to fool him just now. Obviously, the two of them knew each other well.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help frowning, and with a thought, he casually threw a Class C wiretapping seed in the past.

Immediately, the conversation between Pang Tianshou and that person appeared in front of him.

"Master Yaqilou, just now there was a wealthy businessman who wanted to convince him to join the religion, but he didn't expect him to let him go!"

"Oh, where is Father Tang Ruowang?"

"It's waiting for you in the house in front!"

After saying these few words, Emperor Chongzhen saw that Pang Tianshou left directly, heading for a house.

Seeing this situation, he couldn't help frowning, and asked Fang Zhenghua, "Why is Pang Tianshou called Yajilou again?"

Hearing him ask this question, Fang Zhenghua did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "Master, this is his Christian name."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and confirmed, "He joined the Western religion?"

"Yes, master!" Fang Zhenghua continued to lower his head and replied immediately.

Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has been troubled by small and big things. Therefore, he has never known about such trivial matters.Even after the souls of future generations have traveled through time, they are still busy with national affairs, so this is the first time I have heard of it.

Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning, at least he didn't like this Western religion at this time, and immediately asked: "How many people in the mansion have joined the Western religion?"

"Master, there are about 30 to [-] people!" Fang Zhenghua thought for a while, and immediately replied, but immediately added, "The others are all handymen!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned.

Thanks to the palace drama of the Qing Dynasty, he remembered one thing, that is, during the Jiaqing period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was a rebellion by the Tianli Sect. At that time, eunuchs who had been educated in the palace acted as internal support and invaded the Forbidden City.

The local Taoism and Buddhism both have Buddha nature, so there is no such possibility.And this Western religion, in this colonial era, was originally disliked by the Chongzhen Emperor, but now they heard that they had developed believers in the palace, and even such high-ranking eunuchs as the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Palm Printing Eunuch, joined the religion , this is a threat to him.

What Emperor Chongzhen didn't know was that this Pang Tianshou really did something that endangered the royal family, but it was not the Chongzhen Dynasty, but the Yongli Dynasty.In the original history, the Ming royal family was in decline, and with the support of Western religions, especially Portugal, he was so bold that he reprimanded the queen mother and queen, and even wanted to abolish the queen.What's more, he once threatened Emperor Yongli to give Sun Kewang the throne.

In the Forbidden City, nothing can happen that is not under your control!Emperor Chongzhen thought in his mind and sneered, now that he knows it, he must not let it go!

Thinking of this, he stared at the house that Pang Tianshou walked into, and remained silent for a while.Of course, this is the appearance, in fact, he is looking at the news fed back by the C-level wiretapping seed on Pang Tianshou.He wanted to know, what did Pang Tianshou want to say when he left the palace to meet Tang Ruowang?
…………

Inside the house, seeing Pang Tianshou enter, Tang Ruowang immediately stood up, took the initiative to greet him, and asked with concern: "Dear Yajilou, I don't know how things are going. The prince, queen and others, would you like to join the church?"

"The queen is very busy and has never been able to find a chance. The prince is also busy and has a lot of schoolwork, so there is no chance for the time being." Pang Tianshou heard this, frowning and said, "There is really no rush for this matter. I have tried it several times. It's useless, you have to put in a lot of effort to get it to work!"

When Tang Ruowang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and said: "It's been several years, and there has been no progress on the side of the Daming royal family. This is very detrimental to the spread of my teachings in Daming! You must pay attention to this point. !"

In the original time, the people in the Ming Dynasty were in dire straits, under the preaching of Tang Ruowang and others, some people really believed in this foreign teaching.However, in the past few years, Emperor Chongzhen rose up to solve the major domestic affairs of the Ming Dynasty one by one, and devoted himself to the well-being of the people, which made the affairs of Tang Ruowang and others suddenly difficult.

More importantly, Emperor Chongzhen's emphasis on agriculture and Kaiwu Division, which made the basis for Tang Ruowang and others to preach, was also shaken.It turns out that the emperor knows all about Xiyi's tricks!In this way, there will be less mystery and less shock, and it will be difficult to influence the scholars and bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty through the Western knowledge they have learned.

Speaking of which, it is fundamental that Western religions are different from the beliefs formed in China since ancient times.For this reason, Tang Ruowang and others were worried.They have always thought that if the cause of missionary work can get the support of the royal family, it will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

It's also the same, he preached in the palace while he was explaining the knowledge of astronomy and calendar in the palace, and he really developed some disciples, the highest position is this Pang Tianshou.However, the emperor seemed to be a little interested at first, but later on, he seemed to have completely forgotten about him, which made him very anxious.Therefore, it is also very good to settle for the next best thing and let Pang Tianshou develop the prince and queen into religion.

However, Tang Ruowang didn't know that by doing so, he exceeded the bottom line of Emperor Chongzhen!
Therefore, when they were talking about it in the house, the Emperor Chongzhen outside knew their plan at once, he was furious, and immediately made a decree.

However, the two people in the house didn't know it. They were still talking about things and discussing how to influence the prince and queen.

Suddenly, I heard a "clang" sound from outside, it was the sound of someone kicking open the door, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

When Pang Tianshou heard this, he frowned immediately, and after a while, he heard shouts from outside, as if someone from the government barged in.

Immediately, Tang Ruowang looked at Pang Tianshou, he would definitely be able to settle the matter with the government.

For this point, Pang Tianshou also had the confidence, so he accused Tang Ruowang, walked out, and asked sharply, "Who is being presumptuous here?"

While talking, he opened the door of the house, stepped over the threshold, and looked outside the courtyard.

Just seeing this, he was immediately stunned.People from the government did come outside, but they were very high-ranking, and they were Dongchang fans.

"So majestic!" A young voice came from the other side of the screen wall with a sneer, and the figure appeared in Pang Tianshou's field of vision, "It turns out to be the eunuch of the Royal Horse Guard, no wonder he is so majestic!"

Pang Tianshou had heard this voice a little familiar, a little shrill, it should be a colleague, but after a second look, he immediately recognized that the person was Wang Chengen, the admiral of the East Factory.

After seeing it clearly, his heart skipped a beat, he quickly squeezed out a smile, greeted him and said, "Who did our family think it was? !"

Generally speaking, the eunuchs in charge of the royal horse supervisor are also prominent figures in the palace, and are not less powerful than the admiral of Dongchang.

However, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, especially in these years, the Imperial Horse Supervisor has always been directly controlled by Emperor Chongzhen. The army under him, the eunuch with palm seal, can't command anyone, it's all up to Emperor Chongzhen to decide.It can be said that this eunuch, the imperial horse supervisor, is an idler with a name.

On the Dongchang side, it was the real power yamen of the Ming Dynasty.Especially in these years, the power of the factory guard has come back again. In the past, from the ministers of the cabinet to the ordinary officials and merchants in the bank, they were all copied by the factory guard.Everyone knows that Wang Chengen, the factory owner, is very trusted by Emperor Chongzhen.

Therefore, when Pang Tianshou saw Wang Chengen, his posture immediately lowered a bit, so he dared to confront him head-on.

However, he didn't dare to complain, but Wang Chengen didn't let him go, and immediately sneered and said, "Yakilou, you have committed a crime, let's go to Dongchang with our family!"

Speaking of this, he ordered the Dongchang servants beside him: "Go, invite the Xiyi inside, and go to our Dongchang for tea!"

Going to Dongchang, what good things can happen.When Pang Tianshou heard this, he became very anxious.From Wang Chengen's address to him, he deduced at once that the matter was probably related to the matter of joining the religion. Thinking about it this way, he probably understood.

However, this made him even more afraid. Before he really started doing it, Dongchang came to visit him?

He was thinking about how to deal with it.But the Dongchang fan officer was not polite to him, and immediately stepped forward, handcuffed him and left.

Without giving him any face, Pang Tianshou immediately understood that he might be in danger!Otherwise, Wang Chengen would definitely show some sympathy, at least he wouldn't torture him.Immediately, his face turned pale.

At this moment, I heard a cry for help from behind: "Man Pangda, why are they arresting me? Please help me beg for mercy..."

The person who said this was naturally Tang Ruowang.As he was speaking, he saw that Pang Tianshou who turned around was also chained like him, and suddenly he was dumbfounded.

He didn't know that not only the two of them, but also the believers in the palace were all arrested and taken into the East Factory in just one hour.All missionary sites outside were also closed.

Ordinary people don't care about this matter, but among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, there are some who are related to Xiyi, but they are anxious.

For example, Chen Zilong from the Agricultural Division, and Li Tianjing from Qin Tianjian, etc., immediately went up to play, wanting to know why Dongchang closed the missionary place, and arrested Tang Ruowang and others.

In response, Wang Chengen answered them, saying that these Western Yi people had ulterior motives, coveted the royal family, and had plans in the palace!

This matter, in fact, can be big or small.If you say it in a small way, it's just a casual sentence, it's not that serious; but if you say it in a serious way, it's tantamount to treason, and it's a serious crime to punish the nine clans!
Therefore, Chen Zilong, Li Tianjing and others all wrote a letter to guarantee that Tang Ruowang and others had no intention of rebelling, they just wanted to preach, but they didn't understand the rules of the East.And based on the contribution of Tang Ruowang and others in scientific and technological knowledge as an excuse, they wrote a letter to intercede for Tang Ruowang and others, and they even moved out the family members of the late Xu Guangqi and so on.

Just two days before the Chinese New Year, Emperor Chongzhen finally responded to this matter.

First of all, I mentioned Tang Ruowang and other Xiyi, and told them clearly that it was because of Chen Zilong and others' pleading that they were ignorant, and that they had contributed to the spread of Western learning, so they could reduce their guilt.But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped.

Emperor Chongzhen announced all the methods used by Dongchang to investigate these Western Yi missionaries recently. Of course, the most important thing is to spy on the royal family. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen made a holy order to prohibit preaching in Daming.Unless they can bring all the books from the West, except those of theology, to Daming and translate them into Chinese characters, then they are allowed to continue preaching in Daming.

In addition, there is another point, that is, no matter what religion, the foundation of preaching in the Ming Dynasty is to be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and to be given a certificate of identity such as a degree, before you can preach.The content of preaching must also be reviewed by the court to guide people to be good.

After the penalty decision was made, Emperor Chongzhen stared at Tang Ruowang and other Western missionaries and shouted coldly: "Don't let me find out about the deception. You have been in the Ming Dynasty for so many years and you should know what the crime of deceiving the emperor is. If you dare to take some at will, Those who deceive me with the book, not to mention that it is impossible to preach in Daming in the future, I will even send troops to kill them, and I will go get them myself!"

When Tang Ruowang was in Dongchang, he had already understood how stupid things he had done before, and what crimes he had committed in Daming, so he dared to bargain, so he quickly agreed.As for whether to do it or not, this can only be known after going back to report.Of course, he will also remind that the Emperor of Ming is good at almost everything, so don't fool the emperor of Ming.

Chen Zilong and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the emperor's decision.It can be said that they are satisfied with the result.In particular, the emperor asked them to send all the books on Western learning to Daming, so they were even more happy.Combining Chinese and Western, and comparing each other, maybe Daming's knowledge can be improved to a higher level.

After Tang Ruowang and others agreed, Emperor Chongzhen softened his tone and said: "My Ming Dynasty is very hospitable, and friends come from far away, so they are very happy, so they naturally like to entertain them with wine; however, if they come with evil intentions, they will naturally use their fists." Hospitality. After you go back, you can tell your countries that I welcome them to come to the Ming Dynasty to do business and exchange their needs."

For the time being, he doesn't want to conquer Europe. In this era, there are still many unclaimed lands waiting to be occupied.As for Europe, it is only prepared to be a dumping ground for Ming's products, using Ming's products to earn wealth.

Of course, if Xiyi dared to fight against Daming, then they should be dealt with.
