Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Alright."

Zhang Yun's pretty face suddenly bloomed like a flower, and she fell limp. She knelt down behind Zhu Xu and kneaded his shoulders.

Zhu Xu looked at the little guy with big eyes blinking, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

At this time, Xue Zhengqing finally finished his work and came to see him.

Zhang Yun sat upright, sitting side by side with Zhu Xu.

Xue Zhengqing stood in front of Zhu Xu, Fangzheng's face was full of determination, and he said: "Your Majesty, I have checked the background of Maidarzini, and I think they may surrender again, or they have other ideas. attempt."

Zhu Xu held the tea lid in his hand, fiddled with the water, and looked thoughtful.

The church is a terrible organization, especially now that European colonists are everywhere they go, or rather, these missionaries are the pioneers.Everywhere, there are churches everywhere, and through the power of the church, a huge network is connected. This network will gradually cover the whole world!

This church is equivalent to an intelligence station, and sometimes, it is more like a military base, with unimaginably powerful effects.

Zhu Xu raised his head, looked at Xue Zhengqing, and said with a smile, "Do you have doubts in your heart?"

Xue Zhengqing naturally didn't understand, what kind of god is this, what are they going to do for it, no matter how you look at it, there is no benefit at all.

Thinking about his words, Xue Zhengqing said: "Yes. I don't understand. I, a Confucianist, never believe in ghosts and gods. This God...is pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, with ulterior motives."

Zhu Xu could understand Xue Zhengqing's thoughts, and Xue Zhengqing's thoughts also represented the majority of people in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu had to order some, took a sip of tea, and said, "I believe that people have the freedom to choose their beliefs. Those who believe in Buddhism, believers, and some gods, gods, and Buddhas. As long as they persuade people to be good and positive , there is no need to deliberately restrict or block anything, and this matter will come sooner or later, since you are not at ease, it is better to work hard at the source."

Xue Zhengqing raised his hand, and said: "The emperor is far-sighted, far-sighted, and far-sighted, and I am very admired."

Zhu Xu put down his teacup and said, "Aside from other things, what do you think of this God?"

Xue Zhengqing was born as a Jinshi. He is 38 years old, and his knowledge and insight are at their peak.

Xue Zhengqing heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been countless totems. It is nothing more than the people's inability to cope with difficulties and confusion in their hearts. They can only appeal to gods and Buddhas who surpass ordinary people to achieve the purpose of reducing inner pain. I believe that this god is also the same, it was created by themselves to comfort themselves."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, picked up the teacup again, blew on the tea, and said, "They can create, can we?"

Xue Zhengqing was startled, then suddenly shocked, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

He was appointed to receive the envoys of the Papal State within three months, so he naturally did some research.He knew that many years ago, the emperor asked the Royal Government Council to study the European church, especially those teachings, and kept those missionaries in the Shenlong Mansion. It was clearly a plan!

He had known for a long time that His Majesty the Emperor in front of him had always planned far-reaching affairs, but he did not expect that Zhu Xu had prepared for today's affairs many years ago.

Xue Zhengqing flattered, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, this Catholic Church has split into two factions. One is the conservative faction, called Catholicism, which keeps the old teachings unchanged. The new one is called Protestantism. Simply put, it is Oppose the pope and disagree with some teachings. If we get involved and make some more reasonable teachings, we can create another school, which is completely my Ming Catholicism, so we don’t have to worry about the infiltration of Xiyi people..."

This Xue Zhengqing is smart, he knows everything.

Zhu Xu calmly said "Yes", and said: "At present, we just want to be justified, you can talk about it first, let them develop in Shenlong Mansion, find an opportunity, have a debate, and make things bigger."

What Xue Zhengqing meant to Zhu Xu was that he had a thorough understanding of what Zhu Xu meant. He raised his hand and said with excitement, "Yes. I understand that I will make overall arrangements to ensure that nothing will go wrong, and there will be no mistakes!"

Zhu Xu had already made enough groundwork for this matter, so he didn't worry about anything, stood up, pondered, and said: "I know that there are many people in the government and the opposition who believe in or have a good impression of this Catholic religion. Do a good job, understand what I mean?"

There are quite a few high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty who believe in or support it. For example, Xu Guangqi, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, is considered a half-believer.

Xue Zhengqing understood, and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I believe that the adults in the government and the opposition will understand righteousness and will not stand on the opposite side of the Celestial Dynasty. I have confidence."

Zhu Xu glanced at him, saw that his face was full of determination, and said: "Okay, let's do it, if you have any difficulties, go to Mr. Fu Ge, and if you can't, come to me."

"I obey the order!" Xue Zhengqing looked determined, got Shang Fang's sword, turned and left.

Liu Shimin then came in and said, "Your Majesty, Zhu Pingchen is here."

Zhang Yun picked up his son who was lying on the bed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, my concubine will leave."

Zhu Xu made a "huh" sound, and said again: "You watch Yongning for me, and don't let her bother me."

Little Yongning also clamored to go with him to escape the summer heat, and recently came to hang out in front of Zhu Xu when he had nothing to do.

Zhang Yun pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes, my concubine will try."

Chapter 1264 Debate

Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhu Pingchen knelt on the ground, trembling.

Zhu Xu was sitting at his desk, looking at this bastard of the same clan not far or near, with a blank expression on his face, his fingers tapped on the table slowly, and the little horse ran rhythmically in the quiet warm pavilion with the sound of hooves.

These voices were like thunder in Zhu Pingchen's heart, making him tremble all over, his whole body was terrified, his head was covered with cold sweat, his legs trembled, and he almost seemed to be limp on the ground.

Zhu Xu shook his head, there are only a handful of people in the clan who can see it clearly.

Cao Huachun stood aside, seeing that it was almost done, he said coldly, "Let's talk."

Zhu Ping's body trembled, and he said hastily: "Yes, yes. When I returned to the emperor, someone found the guilty officials, not the people. He asked me to persuade me, saying that not only would I get back thousands of acres of fertile land afterwards, but I would also be able to give back the land in Nanzhi. The official arranged a business firm with a monthly income of [-] taels, and the criminal officials and criminals agreed in a moment of confusion, minister, the criminals deserve death, please forgive the sin, please forgive the emperor!"

Zhu Xu sat there motionless, turning a deaf ear to him.

Cao Huachun let out a cold snort, and six guards rushed in from outside the door, their long knives were half drawn out with a frigid glare.

Zhu Pingchen trembled all over, his neck was cold, and he shouted anxiously: "I know, I know, when they first came to me, I knew they were not ordinary people, I secretly asked someone to draw a portrait, and I also asked someone to check Yes, but..."

"But what? Say it!" Cao Huachun shouted coldly.

Zhu Pingchen immediately said: "Yes, the criminals found out through the portraits and using some connections, these rebels who should have been executed in the second year of Jingzheng, some were warriors, some were robbers, and some were members of the clan. people……"

Hearing the word "clan", Zhu Xu frowned, his eyes turned cold.

Cao Huachun knew very well that it must be Luo Yangxing or Zhu Zonghan who used means to rescue these people who were cheating and keeping them for his own use.

I'm afraid, this traitor has long had the heart of rebellion!

Cao Huachun glanced at Zhu Xu, then turned to Zhu Pingchen, and said, "Continue talking!"

Zhu Pingchen also knew that relying on this point, he would not be able to survive, and then said: "The silver they gave me was all Kuyin from Tianqi five years ago, and I used it after it was melted down. I checked, Those silver coins originally belonged to Wei Guanghui..."

Wei Guanghui was a cabinet minister during the Tianqi period and Wei Zhongxian's dog.

Cao Huachun frowned, this brought Wei Zhongxian into it again, it was all old things.

Zhu Pingcheng seemed to have sensed Cao Huachun's impatience, and hurriedly said: "These kuyins are ordinary and there is nothing wrong with them, but in order to manage these kuyins, they put special marks on them. Only the Li family in Tongcheng have these numbers. will do……"

Cao Huachun frowned, took a step forward, and said coldly, "Have you checked?"

Zhu Pingchao shook his head quickly, and said: "Although the criminals are a little clever, they are also afraid of death, and they did not act rashly when they found out about the Li family."

Only then did Cao Huachun nod his head. If Zhu Ping beat the grass to startle the snake, this clue would be broken.
