I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Zhu Youxiao praised, handed the book to Wang Chaofu, and said lightly:

"Decree to ask Guangning to attend Sun Chengzong's meeting in Beijing, and I want to ask him about Yuan Chonghuan face to face. One of the good generals is out, and the king's order will not be accepted!"

For Yuan Chonghuan, because of his great reputation in later generations, Zhu Youjiao took into account that he had some ability, so he endured it and left him to guard Ningyuan.

But Yuan Chonghuan was also very stubborn, he didn't know which tendon was wrong, and the catchy sentence all day long was that he would not accept the order of the foreign king.

Cui Chengxiu is not Zhu Youxiao. He doesn't know how famous Yuan Chonghuan is in later generations. He only sees a small Ningyuan military equipment.

Bing tribal power, imprisoned, this is the inevitable end of Yuan Chonghuan's actions in the future.

It's just that I don't know what the courtiers thought. It was obvious that Yuan Chonghuan refused to obey the order, and Cui Chengxiu clearly enforced the law impartially and stabilized the situation in Liaodong.

However, in the mouths of the Kandao officials, although Cui Chengxiu was not charged with negotiating peace without authorization, he could not get rid of the traitor of the eunuch party.

In the eyes of Qingliu, all eunuchs must be villains, and those who are murdered by villains must be loyal and good, not to mention Yuan Chonghuan is a disciple of "Emperor Master" Sun Chengzong!

The old Wang Huazhen was just an accident!

……

When Wei Zhongxian returned to Dongchang from the palace, he kept a gloomy face and said nothing.

Fu Yingxing stepped forward to fill a cup of tribute tea, and asked respectfully:

"There are rumors about the great victory. Every household in the capital is beaming with joy. Firecrackers were set off outside. It's as festive as Yuan's Day. Why is uncle's face so ugly?"

Wei Zhongxian glanced at him, feeling angry in his heart, but he didn't intend to vent his anger on his relatives, so he reached out to take the tribute tea, drank it all in one gulp, and said angrily:

"It's not because of that Gaudi!"

"Back then, the governor was really blind. He actually recommended to His Majesty such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and has more success than failure!"

"Then... what does His Majesty say?"

Fu Yingxing also heard a little about what Gaodi did, and his expression changed immediately.

You must know that the person above has never rubbed any sand in his eyes, and Gaodi's crime will inevitably fall on the head of Wei Zhongxian, the dignified Dongchangchanggong.

If Wei Zhongxian falls, then the so-called "Red Boy" he is called will also be finished.

Red Boy is the nickname given to Fu Yingxing by Donglin scholars. It is similar to the other "Forty Grandchildren", "Eight Tigers", and "Five Biao", and they all have the same bad name.

Naturally, Xu Xianchun, Tian Ergeng and others are now claiming to be a system in Beizhen Fusi, and Wu Biao and others in history are naturally other people.

Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief, spread out on the chair, and said:

"My lord still understands my difficulties. He didn't make it difficult. He just let me know what to do. You have to deal with this matter yourself and go to Shanhaiguan."

Fu Yingxing rolled his eyes, and said, "Uncle, I don't think it's right."

"You think, this Gaudy is a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the rabbit still bites when it is in a hurry! He has a soldier in his hand."

"No matter how brave the fans are, they are still no match for those soldiers who lick their blood. My nephew went rashly, and I'm afraid he will turn against him."

When Wei Zhongxian heard that he was worried about this, he immediately became amused, patted Fu Yingxing on the head and said:

"My good nephew of Ben Du, you just need to be at ease, even if Gao Di dares to rebel, Yu Long and Gao Zhen are not fools, how could they follow?"

"Just pass on the message and take Gao Di to the governor intact to the capital. Then you have to supervise the work yourself and let him repair the three halls for His Majesty!"

Fu Yingxing really had an easy idea.

After the Battle of the Southwest and the victory in Liaodong that he just won, Emperor Tianqi's prestige is already very high, and his status is unshakable.

What's more, although Gaodi is the chief soldier, there are governors, managers, and governors above the chief soldier, and a supervisor at the top is holding him back.

Ren Gaodi played well, but he really couldn't make any troubles.

Chapter 396 Cooperation or Get Out

Fu Yingxing was well aware of the importance of this matter, and that night he personally took a group of people to Shanhaiguan to deal with Gaodi's fear of war in Taizihe.

The fans had just left Beijing, and the court's first trial of Yuan Chonghuan had just ended.

On this day, Wei Zhongxian came to Xinuang Pavilion mysteriously, and said, "My lord, this old slave has heard that academician Tang of the Qin Tianjian has been so busy that he doesn't touch the ground these days."

The so-called academician Tang in Wei Zhongxian's words naturally refers to Tang Ruowang, a missionary to the Holy Roman Empire who came to Ming Dynasty two years ago.

Tang Ruowang entered the Rome Academy in his early years, and his main direction was to study theology and mathematics.

The Roman Academy was founded by Loyola in the sixteenth century. Although it is a "Christian spiritual seminary", the courses of this college cover a wide range.

In addition to the missionary content stipulated by the Holy See, he also taught many subjects such as mathematics, astronomy, geography, mechanical mechanics, chemistry, etc., and cultivated many talents.

Galileo once served as a teacher at the Roman Academy. He displayed his improved telescope in the lecture hall of the Academy, and was warmly welcomed and admired.

Later, this improved telescope was widely used in European voyages. No matter the explorers who went to various parts of the world or the commander of the fleet, basically everyone had one.

The so-called "telescope", which is relatively rare in Ming Dynasty, is actually a kind of imitation monocular, and only generals at the general level or civilian officials at the governor's level are eligible to equip it.

In fact, after the elimination of the Japanese pirates, since the Wanli period, Ming Dynasty has been actively absorbing all kinds of advanced western scientific and technological knowledge that it can come into contact with.

When Tang Ruowang was studying at the Rome Academy, he heard Galileo's speeches and became very interested in the rich East. He began to use various methods to learn Chinese and absorb Eastern knowledge.

In the 45th year of Wanli, Tang Ruowang completed his studies at the Academy of Rome with the best grades, and was conferred as a priest by the Holy See and qualified to preach.

Five years ago, under the leadership of Cardinal Jin Nige, 22 missionaries including Tang Ruowang, Deng Yuhan, and Luo Yagu were received by the emperor in the court of the Portuguese Empire, and then set sail from Lisbon to the east.

This is the origin of Tang Ruowang and Daming.

Zhu Youjiao was looking at the submissions from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War. When he heard the results of Yuan Chonghuan's first interrogation, he said "Oh?" without thinking too much, and asked with a smile:

"What is he up to?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "The old slave went to Qintianjian to look for Academician Tang today, but he was stopped outside by the Western apprentices he brought, and his tone was very arrogant, saying that he was preaching and lecturing inside, and no one was seen!"

"Your Majesty, the old slave is not angry with himself. Listen, a Western apprentice dares to speak such nonsense in the palace without being seen by anyone. Wouldn't it be true that even after His Majesty..."

Having said that, Zhu Youxiao glanced sideways, and Wei Zhongxian trembled all over. Although he didn't continue to speak, his face was still hesitant to speak.

Zhu Youxiao laughed, put down the chapters, pointed Wei Zhongxian a few times, and said, "Look at you, you are already very old, what's your anger with a missionary in his thirties?"

"You think I don't know that this is your unreasonable trouble. Tang Ruowang has already said that preaching and preaching are sacred moments. If you insist on going in at this time, who can you blame?"

Wei Zhongxian was really angry for a while, if he was someone else, he might still consider some things, so forget it.

But a missionary from the West dared to stop the governor from letting him in?

Who does he think he is? No matter where he goes in this palace other than the harem, he is not allowed to call himself the factory master!

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Wei Zhongxian's anger disappeared at this time, but there was still something in his heart that he didn't quite understand, so he said:

"My lord, what happened to the old slave is that I am confused."

"But Tang Ruowang is really busy from morning to night every day. He is not preaching and baptizing, leading the believers to worship, or going to church to preach, and he doesn't even have the time to work in Qintianjian."

"A missionary can at most work as a heavenly inspector. How can he be busier than the master?"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while and said, "You mean, this Tang Ruowang preached in my court and developed a group of Catholic believers?"

Wei Zhongxian didn't understand what the Catholicism meant in the emperor's words, but he understood the general meaning, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Master, it's not that this old slave is small-minded, but this old slave is worried. This Tang Ruowang is planning something else."

"Not only the various bureaus and divisions of the Internal Supervision Bureau, but even the old slave's Dongchang, many people have been baptized into Catholicism. The old slave has to worry about His Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao pondered and seemed to be paying attention.

In fact, it was not because of Tang Ruowang's conspiracy in Wei Zhongxian's words. Zhu Youxiao knew in later generations that Tang Ruowang was a serious preacher.

But there are related records in later generations, the purpose of these missionaries is not as simple as Tang Ruowang.

Indeed, they did not simply come to preach. These missionaries came to Daming with the vision of revitalizing the Holy See and their king's conquest of the East.

At first, Portugal's idea was very simple. They believed that the East was relatively backward and could be directly conquered by force, or even forced to open up trade.

European countries that trade with the East will get a very powerful bonus buff.

After these missionaries came, they actually sent news back to Portugal and the Holy See very quickly, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Bishop Jin Nige claimed that Ming Dynasty was far from the ignorant and backward ancient civilization they had imagined, and it was really impossible to conquer Daming by force.

Accordingly, the Holy See and Portugal had to give up the idea of ​​​​conquest by force.

In addition, the news of Ming's victory in the naval battle with the Netherlands spread rapidly throughout Europe, and Portugal was sweating even more, not daring to underestimate the ancient empire from the East.

But they did not give up their dream of conquering the East. The King of Portugal and the Pope joined forces and decided to use a policy of gentleness to simmer the flames of Ming Dynasty slowly.

On the one hand, preaching in Daming can increase the prestige of the Holy See and the Society of Jesus, which is good for the Pope and Portugal.

On the other hand, you can also learn more about the real situation of Daming with the help of preaching.

Anyway, regardless of business, missionary, or something else, the ultimate goal of these missionaries is for the interests of their own country and the Holy See.

Some things cannot be seen at the moment, but if you look back from the perspective of future generations, they appear clear and easy to understand.

Zhu Youxiao didn't worry at all that the Catholic Church would spread to the same extent as the West in the Ming Dynasty, because historical facts proved that even if the imperial court did not interfere with the mission of the Jesuits, they would eventually fail.

You pass it on and you pass it on. If the people believe it, I will lose.

What Zhu Youxiao thought was to use this to benefit Daming. After all, I asked you to preach, and you didn't pay anything, which is unreasonable.

What's more, few of these missionaries really like the East. Portugal and the Holy See want to take advantage of Daming and go back to develop themselves, which is fine.

What Zhu Youxiao wants is also very simple. If you want to develop, I also want to develop. My development needs are not smaller than yours, so I will give you two choices.

Either get out of Daming without leaving the house, or the two cooperate and make progress together.

Chapter 397 Learning Western Science and Technology

Thinking in this way, Zhu Youxiao also stood up and said:

"So, I'm also going to hear how this Tang Ruowang explained to people. Where is he now?"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly walked ahead, leading the way, while replying: "At this moment, he should be preaching in a church."

After speaking, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and said: "Master, don't you also be deceived by him into such a Catholicism."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and walked out of Xinuang Pavilion with his hands behind his back.

One is not afraid of being seduced into a religion, the main reason is that one has to go out of the palace for business.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao was also very curious, and he could join the teaching after listening to it once. Is Tang Ruowang's teaching ability really as evil as Wei Zhongxian said?

With such thoughts in mind, Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian changed into casual clothes, took a few soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion out of Chengtianmen, and soon came to the church only two streets away from Chengtianmen.

As soon as I approached the church, I saw a piece of emerald green and smelled the fragrance of flowers.

The church is equipped with a small courtyard with the gate open. The courtyard is a garden, which is thick green, and the air is filled with the fragrance of rose bushes.

There are also many fruit trees, the red, white and white peaches, and the purple grapes are very attractive.

Tang Ruowang was surrounded by believers, who were asking him about teachings, solving problems, and asking for blessings to get through the difficult years.

When Zhu Youxiao came to the yard, he heard Tang Ruowang standing on a high place with a Bible in his hand, giving a passionate speech on the Catholic Church.

"...the world is full of evil, the world is full of evil!"

"Original sin from the world, ah, this is the original sin that cannot be saved by the ancestor Adam's crime! It makes it difficult for the world to avoid the tragic ending of going to hell!"

After saying this, Tang Ruowang was still brewing, and someone was muttering to himself.

"Hell? Is it the underworld?"

"I don't know, what is original sin, I don't understand! Do you understand?"

"Don't ask me, how do I know what original sin means..."

The whispers of the believers below did not affect Tang Ruowang's emotions at all, and his next words were still full of passion.

"In order to save the souls of believers, God sacrificed His own Son, our suffering Savior! As the price of redemption for sin, our Lord Jesus was crucified on the cross!"

"Ah! The great Lord Jesus gave up his body and turned it into bread, and his blood and turned it into wine..."

After a paragraph was finished, Tang Ruowang turned his head and looked at his group of lovely believers, only to find that they were not respected as they were in the West, but they were playing and playing loudly.

"My boy, the blood of Jesus can turn into wine!"

"It sounds like Jesus is very powerful. The wine made from his blood must taste better than the privately brewed Daughter Red. Reverend Tang, how did you get this wine?"

"This group of red-haired missionaries must have drunk it secretly!"

Hearing the words of these so-called Catholic believers, Zhu Youxiao couldn't hold back his laughter, but instead attracted the gloomy Tang Ruowang's eyes.

Immediately, his eyes widened.
