The vision of the red building is farther

Jia Zhen's proposal stunned everyone in the warm pavilion. Except for Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Li An, and Hu Ji, everyone else, including Emperor Zhenghe, had more or less dealt with missionaries. Indeed, these missionaries were They have good knowledge in astronomy, physics, etc., and are qualified to teach those craftsmen, but they are also very weird. They believe in Catholicism and believe that God is the supreme existence, even more important than the king. Weird ideas and some weird rules made Zheng and Emperor blind to the merits of missionaries. As for the sermons of those missionaries and the existence of churches, they were only allowed to be built by emperors in order to show their inclusiveness. , just like Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.

"Jia Aiqing, tell me what you think." Zheng Hedi was stunned for a moment, and asked.He believed that Jia Zhen's idea was definitely not a whim, but just thinking of the missionary's face that if you don't believe in God, you can't get salvation, Zheng Hedi couldn't help but have a stomachache. Besides, unlike Taoism seeking immortality, Buddhism cultivates the afterlife. Catholicism pursues the present, and they place monarchy behind theocracy. Thinking that if Catholicism takes this opportunity to harvest countless congregants in the future, it may pose a huge threat to the rule of itself and future generations.This is the reason why Zheng Hedi was really afraid. His eyes were fixed on Jia Zhen, and he needed a reasonable explanation.

"I think that compared with warships and cannons, the influence of these missionaries who can only show off their mouths is negligible. Besides, these foreigners have believed in Catholicism for so many years, and they have not learned what they call God is a star, otherwise why are there frequent wars? It can be seen that these are just lip service. Moreover, in my humble opinion, we have given missionaries this opportunity. They may not be able to compare with Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. What's more, these craftsmen are just design drawings, and they don't have much contact with the affairs of the court, let alone influence the court, even if the missionaries want to use these craftsmen, it is just empty talk." Jia Zhen said lightly. With a smile, he explained his reasons.

"The power of two evils is the lesser." Jia Zhen did not forget to add a sentence. In fact, for himself, the weakening of the monarchy is not a bad thing. In this way, it can gain more space for the development of ideas, but The so-called theocracy is even more ridiculous in his eyes. Since they are all gods, why are they still attached to the so-called mortal world, longing for secular rights, those Catholicism, Buddhism, and various religions are like this, but they use different methods.

"I think what Jia Shangshu said is very true, and I agree with you." Liu Hongfei was the first to speak. He knew more about the religious books of foreigners than anyone else present. What Jia Zhen said was indeed reasonable. The teachings of the Catholic Church It is quite unacceptable to the people of the Great Yang Dynasty. It is impossible to succeed without great efforts, such as not being able to eat fish. Besides, the influence of Taoism and Buddhism cannot be underestimated. Look at those temples and Taoist temples You will understand if you have the incense, and these Catholic missionaries are much easier to deal with than those sects and living Buddhas in Tibet. If it is really difficult, you don’t have to worry about it.

Liu Hongfei's proposal reassured Zheng Hedi, yes, they were just unarmed missionaries. Compared with the real force of real swords and guns, the so-called gods and their excellent eloquence were nothing but tasteless.Emperor Zhenghe never believed in these so-called various religions, but he had a very high tolerance for Taoism and Buddhism, and even supported Buddhism, but it was only out of political considerations, but he himself did not believe in it.

Emperor Zhenghe agreed to Jia Zhen's suggestion, but required strict supervision and control over the missionaries, and took measures when necessary.Jia Zhen hurriedly bowed her head and agreed. He couldn't be more clear about the so-called measures. Jia Zhen admitted that he still had an idea in his heart, which was to take this opportunity to weaken the influence of these religions, whether it was Catholicism or a slightly declining Taoism, or the influence of Buddhism that has faintly had a great effect.I hope these missionaries will seize this opportunity tightly, Jia Zhen secretly encouraged her, the only religion he really fears is Buddhism, because Buddhism advocates the afterlife, and the attitude it adopts towards the present is resignation, such a trend of thought It is not conducive to a dynasty that is about to take a new step, and it will make the monarch feel at ease. Over time, he will not think about making progress, and in the end the dynasty will perish by itself.

After finally finishing the discussion in the warm pavilion, when Jia Zhen was about to raise her legs, Liu Hongfei, who had never been very close to others, ran to Jia Zhen's side and smiled faintly: "Brother Bo Xi is probably just a drunkard." Not drinking, killing two birds with one stone." Liu Hongfei's voice was extremely soft, and he spoke quickly, but he quickly said, "Brother Pellie, have you finished reading that book?" "Not yet, I am having a headache about a theorem, just I plan to come to Brother Shihuai for advice when I have time." Jia Zhen didn't understand what Liu Hongfei meant before, but he responded very quickly and quickly picked it up. Everyone knows things, so their dialogue does not feel awkward.

"It's a rare honor for brother Shihuai to invite me to drink tea." Jia Zhen said with a smile. "It's a pity that Brother Bo Xi is not good at drinking tea, but rather spoiled this excellent Longjing tea." Liu Hongfei and Jia Zhen were also familiar with each other, and he was not soft-spoken when hurting Jia Zhen. "For me, this tea, wine, and water are just for quenching thirst. It's really hard to understand the heart of Fengyue." Jia Zhen smiled lightly, took a sip casually, and said, "This tea is certainly rare, but it's just Shihuai's heart." It's even more rare that brother actually asks me to do something." "Brother Bo Xi is indeed a smart person, but it seems that I am a little too careful." Liu Hongfei was not annoyed at all, if Jia Zhen didn't have this sensitivity, then she would How could it be possible to sit firmly in the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and it is not easy to do this second-rank position.

"I don't know what brother Bo Xi thinks of the Taoist and Buddhist families?" Liu Hongfei asked directly. "Hahaha, my family started with military honors. Wouldn't it be too ridiculous to believe in Buddhism, but I have no interest in Taoism's so-called immortality. Humans are originally in the world of mortals, so how can they escape from the world of mortals? Besides, Wouldn't it be too ridiculous for someone who can't even change his own destiny to rely on those gods and Buddhas all over the sky, expecting them to change." Jia Zhen smiled flamboyantly, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, There was a bit of disdain unconsciously in his eyes. "Hahaha, I'm afraid that if there are really gods and Buddhas in the sky, brother Boxi's words will immediately fall into Abi Hell, but brother Boxi is here to drink tea with me, so it can be seen that gods and Buddhas are nothing more than that. That's all." Liu Hongfei laughed, poured himself another cup of tea, and said with a smile.

"How did I hear that brother Shihuai's grandfather was a devout Buddhist disciple?" Jia Zhen raised her eyebrows and said. "Brother Bo Xi's father also lived in a Taoist temple, but now he is a layman." Liu Hongfei closed his eyes slightly, showing a bit of disdain, not to Jia Zhen, but to his own grandfather.Jia Zhen smiled slightly. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and there are things that are not known to outsiders. They are not as public as in my own family. The fact that my father entered the Taoist temple and devoted himself to seeking immortality was well-known in the capital. Many people saw the Jia family's joke: "It's true, but it's over."

"I don't know if Brother Pelliot has seen those missionaries?" Liu Hongfei no longer entangled in this matter, and wanted to cut to the point of his own. "Yes, I've seen it before, but it's a pity that I probably said that the so-called people who were abandoned by God have degenerated into believers of the devil. They really can't become devout. Why, brother Shihuai is interested in Catholicism?" Jia Zhen asked. He raised his eyebrows, he didn't think Liu Hongfei was like someone who would believe in Catholicism, the kind of person who would preach with a Bible. It should be said that Liu Hongfei is quite a selfish person. If he had to say that he would be a believer, Then the god he believes in is probably only himself. After all, as a person who has been exposed to a lot of books, if he wants not to be influenced by words, he can only try to believe in himself and everything he has discovered through research, not to mention that it can almost be said to be Liu Hongfei, who is well-read, has seen more classics, and he doesn't think that a few missionaries can persuade Liu Hongfei.

"It's a little bit, but it's not me. I just think that the situation of three points in the world is much more interesting than the two contending for supremacy, not to mention that it is a situation that is about to end." Liu Hongfei smiled lightly, but the warm eyebrows revealed that Unreasonable indifference, it is clear that the scene of the contest between Buddhism and Taoism will end with the defeat of Taoism, so a new pawn or weight needs to be added now, so that Taoism can breathe, Buddhism slows down, and Catholicism Its xenophobic and domineering characteristics are destined to be a very good choice, and this time it will be a so-called officially recognized statement, at least those missionaries will promote it in this way, so Liu Hongfei hopes that Jia Zhen can give these missionaries give us a little space.

"It seems that in some respects, we still have a tacit understanding." Jia Zhen didn't expect Liu Hongfei to have such an idea. At least in his opinion, Liu Hongfei's thoughts and ideas in this era can be said to be quite rebellious, and he even said It is a different kind of existence. Of course he is an exception. He wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask more. In the end, he could only end with this sentence. "Brother Boxi, don't be surprised. What I yearn for more is the contention of a hundred schools of thought." Liu Hongfei saw Jia Zhen's suspicion, and explained slowly.He believed that Jia Zhen would not disclose the conversation between the two of them today. He has always been a very rational person, and this is the first time that he believes in his so-called intuition. "Don't worry, I do too." Jia Zhen understood Liu Hongfei's meaning and thoughts, and replied with a slight smile.
