"Say I'm a flower monk? Tell me, why am I a flower monk? ”

On the way to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was obviously pretending to have a lot of things in his heart, but pretending to have nothing to do on the surface, was discussing something with Yao Guangxiao next to him.

"You are not a flower monk, greedy for red dust, that is, a flower monk, some are monks and lustful, some drink good wine, and a monk enters later, you are a good monk, not only good wine, lust and meat, but also sit on the emperor, enjoy the right to enjoy the highest material life, such a flower, is it not worthy of the name of a flower monk?"

Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands and laughed: "This name is good, but I don't have a straightforward temperament like Lu Tishi, I'm afraid he will be very unhappy if he knows it." ”

Yao Guangxiao also smiled when he heard this: "Lu Zhishen, that person, in addition to liking to eat wine and eating a fish, what else can he do, first, he is not lustful, second, he is not greedy for power, and later even parted ways with Song Jiang." What does this mean? said that he didn't spend it thoroughly enough, so if the two of you really meet, I don't think it's necessarily who is ashamed of himself in front of whom! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his palms and laughed again, Yao Guangxiao's mouth is really capable, and he is worthy of being a person who can say that his fourth son is a rebel.

But that's all in the past, and now the east of the Forbidden City is also the descendant of his four sons.

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang and Yao Guangxiao came to the gate of the Forbidden City. As envoys of friendly nations, they were soon summoned by the Emperor, of course. Before the emperor summoned them, he was obviously also in a worried mood, because among them. There is a person who is the Taizu of the current dynasty.

He didn't even know what kind of etiquette to use to receive His Majesty Taizu.

However, after meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang solved this problem at the first time.

"The Great Yue Empire, the Great Catholic Church, Cardinal Zhu Yuanzhang. Meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang used religious etiquette, one of several religious etiquette schemes they were discussing, and it was not widely popularized at present. I'm afraid the emperor is not going to do some godly rituals for winning the lottery, but that's fine, he can use it casually here now.

However, after he saluted, Emperor Chongzhen faced another embarrassment. That is. Do you want to say that you are flat, if you say, it is the courtesy of the superior to the subordinate, if you don't say it, is it allowed to keep this posture all the time?

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately solved the problem, because after he finished saluting, he immediately returned to normal.

Without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to say a word. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately opened his mouth and said, "In the past few days, I have always wanted to come to visit Your Majesty. Religious exchanges between our two countries. We are entering a new era, which is obviously good for all of us. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, he had long seen that the teachings of the Datong Sect were nothing more than those scientific truths that had been simply disguised. Although he didn't know much about the word science, he knew that the industrial revolution, the explosion of information, which he wanted to bring to the empire, were all products of science. Therefore, he wants the Datong to teach you to spread it widely within his empire.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw him nodding and continued: "I think Your Majesty is more eager to get those advanced technologies of the 21st century, but there is a gap between our empire and the technology of that era, we can't eat a big fat man in one bite, otherwise we will choke to death, so please Your Majesty must be patient." Our technology needs to be developed step by step. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded again and agreed, he had a deep understanding of this, the difference between the so-called fine water and killing chickens and eggs is almost the same.

Seeing that she nodded again in agreement, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "I want to remind Your Majesty that the teachings of the Datong Sect are not entirely the camouflage of those science and technology, and moreover, the Datong Religion lacks a detailed discussion of those technologies in the teachings, it only recognizes the direction of one technology to a certain extent, or in other words, at the philosophical level, summarizing the current scientific findings, there is a gap between it and the actual science. That is to say, the Ming Empire has it, but it does not mean that the Ming Empire has advanced technology, our people still need to continue to work hard, fortunately, we have guidance, so that we can avoid many detours. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded again, although he didn't think about it so carefully, but what he didn't work for was definitely not just moral spit, but it was very likely that some techniques were not well mastered, so that once one day in the future, the former friends needed them to solve it with hostilities, and it was very likely that many problems would be exposed.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen nodding seriously again, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "The doctrine of Datong Sect is very concerned about the propaganda of imperial power, but it does not focus on respect for imperial power. This may seem contradictory, but in fact it is not, their propaganda of imperial power is only to remind emperors to take their people seriously and to work for the well-being of their people. At this time, there were already things that had not been recorded in history. I wonder if Your Majesty is ready? ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded earnestly again, indicating that he was ready in this regard.

Seeing such a situation, what is Zhu Yuanzhang going to continue to say? But he suddenly realized that if he continued to talk, he might destroy the current relationship between the two countries, so her mother had already come to her lips and swallowed it back.

Seeing his expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Emperor Chongzhen actually knew in his heart that if he continued to talk, he would probably have to tell the dirty thing.

Once the people of a certain empire have come to believe in a certain religion, it will be difficult for secular power to shake the authority of the pope unless the European powers prove the religion wrong and launch a Renaissance movement.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know about the countless struggles between the German princes and the popes, but she knew that such an empire might bring him danger.

But he really wants this empire to become rich and powerful.

This is the case in the original history, although he did bad things with good intentions and finally sent the Ming Empire to the guillotine, but history did not deny his efforts and his enterprising.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who said this, turned around and left with Yao Guangxiao.

It's just that he doesn't know, he has once again become a person who changed history, he is not only a flower monk who covets Hongchen, but also passes on his greed and the impact it has caused from generation to generation.

He's got enough to spend. (To be continued......)
