Thinking like this, Zhu Youxiao also stood up and said:

"So, I'm going to listen to how this John Tang has solved his doubts, where is he now?"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly walked in front, and while leading the way, he replied: "At this time, it should be a sermon and lecture in the church. ”

After speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and said: "Master, don't you also be deceived by him into that Catholicism." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and walked out of Xinuan Pavilion with his hands in his hands.

I am not afraid of being bewitched into the church, the main thing is that I have something to do, and I really have to go out of the palace.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao is also very curious, he can join the church after listening to it once, this Tang Ruowang's ability to preach is really as evil as Wei Zhongxian said?

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

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

The church is accompanied by a small courtyard with an open gate, and in the courtyard is a garden, a thick greenery, and the fragrance of roses wafts through the air.

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

John Tong was embraced by the believers, who were asking him about his teachings, asking for questions, and some asking for blessings to get through the difficult years.

When Zhu Youxiao came to the courtyard, he heard John Tong standing on a high place with a Bible in his hand, passionately giving a Catholic speech.

“… The world is full of sin, and the world is full of sin! ”

"Original sin from the earth, ah, this is the original sin that the first father Adam left behind to the hereafter! It makes it difficult for people to avoid the tragic end of hell! ”

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

"Hell? Isn't it an underworld? ”

"I don't know, what kind of 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.

"God sacrifices his own Son, our suffering Savior, to save the souls of believers! As a substitutionary atonement price, our Lord Jesus was crucified! ”

"Ahh Our Lord Jesus the Great, gave up his body and turned into bread, and his blood into wine..."

After saying a paragraph, John Tang turned his head and looked at his group of lovely believers, but found that everyone was not as revered as they were in the Western mission, but they were playful and sound.

"Good fellow, the blood of Jesus turns into wine!"

"It sounds like Jesus is very powerful, and the wine made from his blood must be better than the private brew of his daughter, Priest Tang, how can you drink this wine?"

"These red-haired missionaries must have drunk it secretly!"

Listening to the words of these so-called Catholic believers, Zhu Youxiao couldn't hold back his laughter, but he attracted the depressed Tang Ruowang's gaze.

Immediately, his eyes widened.

The young man in white in front of him, with a faint hint of majesty between his eyes, Tang Ruowang naturally recognized that he was the emperor of the Eastern Country, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao.

The one dressed in black beside him was Wei Zhongxian, the "spurned by everyone" in the empire.

He hurriedly dismissed the believers, stepped forward and bowed slightly, and said respectfully:

"I've seen His Majesty the Emperor."

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly reminded on the side: "In the future, you just say that you have seen Your Majesty, why haven't you learned the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty after a few years." ”

John Tang didn't answer, and waited quietly for the young man to speak.

Zhu Youxiao walked in front, and Tang Ruowang came to the garden for a walk, smelling the fragrance of flowers and fruits, and said to himself: "It's good to go out of the palace occasionally and find a clean one." ”

John Tang followed behind and said, "His Majesty the Emperor came to my small church, what is the matter, right?" ”

"You're a good learner of Chinese." After Zhu Youxiao finished saying this, he found a stone pavilion in the garden and sat down, motioned for Tang Ruowang to sit beside him, and said:

"You're right, I'm looking for you."

Tang Ruowang listened, his face changed slightly, but his respectful attitude did not decrease at all.

Although the two were close to each other and sat face to face, their expressions seemed to be thousands of miles away.

"I know that you missionaries came to my Ming to conquer my Ming."

With just one sentence, John Tang's face sank.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about his feelings, and Wei Zhongxian's complacency on the side, just sat there and continued:

"I also tell you plainly, I don't want you to be like my Ming courtier, and do your best for the Ming Dynasty."

"There is a saying that I have to say ahead, whether it is your Holy See or the king, if you want to get benefits in Daming, you need to exchange conditions."

"You and Xu Guangqi revised the new calendar, and they were conscientious, and I understood it in my heart, so I gave you the position of Qin Tianjian."

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao looked around and walked into the church through the side door.

Zhu Youxiao paced in the hall, touched the dust on the portrait of the pope on the wall with his hand, and said lightly:

"This missionary matter, you did it with the blessing of the Daxing Emperor of the Wanli Dynasty, I don't say anything, but now it is the Apocalypse Dynasty."

"If you want to continue to preach in Daming, you have to show sincerity. I don't rub sand in my eyes, but call your papacy and the king to exchange real money for silver. ”

Only then did Tang Ruowang understand that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was bargaining.

He then said, "Your Majesty wants to trade?" ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and said with a smile: "I see that you are doing a good job of preaching in the capital, don't you Holy See like this..."

"I can give you the right to preach in the whole country, and even let you choose a place to open a church, but you have to give me something in exchange for Daming."

John Tong knew that the Holy See did attach great importance to the matter of missionary work in the East, so he thought for a while and asked, "I wonder what Your Majesty is referring to?" ”

"All the advanced techniques you have learned, such as navigation, astronomical calendars, and guns and artillery, I want you to teach them to the civil officials of the Martial Arts Academy and the Qin Heavenly Prison."

"All in all, you will, and the officials of the court must also know."

It turned out to be this, Tang Ruowang's heart was relieved, and he smiled:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have a copy of the book to His Excellency the Bishop of Xi'an, who has the right of the Holy See to preach in the East, and I am sure he will agree."

After speaking, Tang Ruowang deliberately paid attention to the emperor's expression.

Zhu Youxiao was not happy, his face was still so plain and calm, and after a while, he nodded in front and said:

"That's very good, I know that the Portuguese mission arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday, and they are in the church right now, so I have time today, look at you, and meet them by the way."

"The matter of the Jiajing Dynasty's lease of Macao, let's talk about it clearly this time, so as not to make the two sides unhappy and unhappy about this matter in the future."

John Tang was very happy, he was not the slightest bit unpleasant.

In his mind, it was a great thing for the mission to come into contact with the Ming Emperor, and it was nothing to transmit science and technology to the East.

Even if he didn't have such an anxious request from the emperor, he was actually slowly teaching the officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison some of the science and technology he had learned.

Tang Ruowang was just surprised, the emperor of the East usually didn't go out of the palace gate, but he knew everything when he came out.
