Chapter IV: Conflict
Dai Guest...... Not Middle-earthers.
The guest is his character, and his Han name is Dai Jinxian. A few days ago, I did go to Dai Mansion.
Since Matteo Ricci had been in the past, the Jesuits had tried to follow the path of scholars and scholars, and when Liu Yu was a child, missionaries came to teach him Latin and geometry.
Liu Yu thought about it for a while, and he did know Latin. It sounds like nonsense, but it actually makes sense when you think about it. With the Manchu Qing Dynasty so closed, Lao Jiuyinyu, who was a sworn enemy of Yongzheng, could also speak French, Russian, and Latin, and even tried to Latinize Manchu and wrote distress letters in Latin.
Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the missionaries have been trying to take the upper route, and when they arrived in Dashun, because Li Guo's posthumous training attached importance to Western learning, the road was even wilder.
At that time, among the missionaries, Dai Jinxian was the leader.
This person has the title of Zuo Shilang of the courtesy government, and he is also the supervisor of Qintian, the authentic imperial court official, and the third grade of this dynasty. At the same time, he is also the chief teacher of Western studies in Wude Palace.
Originally, in history, Dai Jinxian was very famous.
This man was a professor of mathematics at the University of Ingolstadt, and at this time Germany was still in a state of "I can't find it on the map", and it is difficult to say with certainty what his official nationality was at this time, or that he could be called an imperial man who was neither holy nor Roman.
Later, he joined the Society of Jesus and came to Dashun as a missionary.
After coming to China, Liu Yu didn't know how to do the missionary work, and he was not interested in that set of heaven and hell. But Dai Jinxian's career has been soaring, relying on the calculation of solar eclipses and star mapping, in a few years, he has become the supervisor of the Qintian of the Dashun Dynasty, and he has added the title of waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and has been the chief teacher of Western studies in Wude Palace, which can be described as a unique scenery.
This person's level of sinology is quite high, and he has obtained the Chinese name Jinxian, a guest of the table, which is more profound.
Jin Xian, one of the star officials of the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras, Jin Xian Star is also a star name.
This name is in line with his identity as the supervisor of Qintian, and the name of the stars is in line with the meaning of Qintian; The second is that the Jinxian Star Officer is one of the 28 Stars of the Pleiades, and the chief officer recommends talents, hoping to continue to recommend missionaries as officials for Dashun.
In the original history, this person also contributed to the Chinese calendar, and the Chongzhen Almanac used the Tycho system before. After Dai Jinxian and others took charge of the Qintianjian, they introduced the more advanced Kepler system, introduced the logarithmic table to China, improved the armillary sphere, introduced the technology of Jupiter's satellite method to survey longitude and latitude into China, and participated in the drawing of China's first map with latitude and longitude.
This world line is also taking a similar path, and it is precisely because of the great merit of the calendar that he was awarded the title of Waiter of the Ministry of Rites - of course, the official name is Waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
The Great Shun Dynasty inherited the former Ming system, but in the name is the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, and when it comes to the degree of soil, only the official title of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Restoration Shang Zhou Chunqiu in later generations can be compared with it.
Dashun copied the Tang Dynasty everywhere in form, but he couldn't learn the essence, and he didn't have the economic foundation of the Tang Dynasty, so he got the loess of Shaanxi.
is just a Da Ming dressed in Tang skin.
The six departments of the Ming Dynasty went to Dashun to restore the name of the six governments of the Tang Dynasty, but the Ministry of Rites was called the Rite Government, the Cabinet was called Pingzhang Military Affairs, and the Cabinet was called Tianyou Hall - the first Pingzhang Military Affairs of Dashun was the Heavenly Fierce Star Thunderbolt Fire Hui Shiyang in the "Donglin Point General Record".
However, in private, everyone still habitually calls the government of rites the Ministry of Rites, and the world knows that the soup is not the medicine.
In addition to these official positions, Dai Jinxian also has a very special identity, the vice president of the Jesuit Diocese of China.
Thinking of this layer of identity, Liu Yu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and vaguely felt that something big might happen to the DPRK.
The matter has come to this, and I don't dare to hide it, so I have to say: "Yes." Been there. But firstly, my son likes Western studies, and secondly, he is also the chief teacher of Western studies in Wude Palace, so there seems to be nothing wrong with it, right? ”
The answer was perfect for a long time, and Liu Sheng didn't move.
Liu Yu looked up cautiously, wanting to see something. But Liu Sheng has been in officialdom for a long time, and he has long been moody and angry, and he can't see it at all.
Dai Jinxian knew that Liu Yu liked Western learning, just like Matteo Ricci, using Western learning as a temptation, which had the meaning of hooking him up.
But this matter is not hidden, my father has known about it for a long time. After a while, Liu Shengcai sighed.
"If you learn Western studies, you can only learn them in Wude Palace. Outside of Wude Palace, don't associate with those Westerners. Something is going to happen. A family like ours is the most popular in the woods. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yu was a little stunned.
"Something?"
Now, the year name is Taixing, and the emperor is at the age of being strong and strong, and it is still early for the princes from all walks of life to grab chairs.
What could happen? Even if something happens, if it's not a big deal, how can it threaten the prince of the country?
Seeing Liu Yu's blank face, Liu Sheng felt that it was necessary to explain the seriousness of the matter clearly. Glared at Liu Yu and sighed.
"At today's court meeting, the Fujian Jiedu envoy sent someone to report that someone in Fuqing County reported the local Jesus Church and privately invested money to build the church. Fuqing, a small county, and a Fujian Jiedu envoy checked, there were 15 churches in small counties, and there were even more than 10 students and prisoners among the believers. Men and women mixed together and did not avoid it, not afraid of the ban of the county order, and on the day of chanting and worship, hundreds of people were entangled in one place. ”
Probably afraid that Liu Yu still didn't understand the seriousness of it, Liu Sheng said heavily: "The most important thing is that the Fujian Jiedu envoy said in the fold: Anyone who joins the religion will give more silver and two clothes to help. He also said: I privately think that if you are not related to someone for no reason, you will give people money for no reason, and you will have a deep meaning in people's hearts! If you can't help it, it will spread. ”
Hearing these last blunt words, Liu Yu understood the seriousness of the problem even if he had just traveled half an hour.
Giving money to people for no reason will have a deep meaning to win people's hearts......
Heart-wrenching words.
It's all, but it's dispensable.
In the past, when Taizu entered Beijing, when General Quan tortured the Beijing division, he still inserted a wooden sign in front of the church, writing "Do not disturb Tang Ruowang", and he has always been tolerant of missionaries. Li Zicheng, who almost never drinks alcohol, also had a drink with Tang Ruowang, and Chen Mingxia Toushun was also persuaded by Tang Ruowang.
In addition, he later fought with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, fought with the Nan Ming, and fought with the Zheng family, and they had all seen the power of Western guns, and they didn't dare to say that they could see the world with their eyes, but at least the communication was not interrupted.
But Liu Sheng's heart-wrenching words added later were serious.
If you give money to someone for no reason or reason, you will give it to others with clothes and silver if there is a famine...... This was absolutely not allowed in the feudal dynasty.
What is this for? Learn the Yellow Turban Zhangjiao to apply talisman water? Learn Zhang Lu Wudoumi to teach?
There are floods and droughts, and the rich families pay their own money for relief, which is not allowed by all dynasties, but what about this?
Speaking of which, there is no need for more, Liu Yu has already understood what his father meant, and he has understood the seriousness of the problem.
The in front is meaningless, and the heart-damping words in the back are going to cause big things!
Dai Jinxian is not only the chief supervisor of the Qintian prison and the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but also the vice president of the Jesuit China District.
Today's court meeting Fujian Festival envoy played this matter, and it is not Liu Yu's business to make friends again. If you make friends again in the future, it seems that the entire Yiguo Gong family is standing in line and making a statement.
There are some things that Liu Sheng can't say too clearly, or Liu Sheng feels that Liu Yu is still young, and many things are said in vain.
This incident in Fuqing County is very weird.
This is not just this year, but it has been happening for several years, and there was no stir in the newspapers at the time.
But today, the Fujian Festival has brought up the old story, which means that the opposition of the West French Party is well prepared.
This letter was a prelude to the war, and it was the enemy of the West France Party in Korea and China who wanted to take this opportunity to start a war with West France and suppress the West France Party, which was now becoming more and more powerful in the DPRK and China.
The West French Party has existed since the time of Xu Guangqi in the previous dynasty, and now it has grown even more, although it is not said to be deep-rooted, but it is true that many ministers have been baptized like Xu Guangqi in the previous dynasty, become Christians, and have their own faction in the court.
Liu Shengjiu is in the middle of the court, standing tall, for the wind and grass and all kinds of signs in the court, it is the prophet of the plumbing duck of the spring river.
The fourth generation of the family has seen a lot of battles between the DPRK and China, and he has the ability to protect his life with one hand, and he has a more sensitive sense of smell.
Liu Yu likes to study in the West, and everyone in the capital knows that he is not doing his job. Since you are a noble child and a junior, it is nothing if you don't do your job, but you may have trouble doing your job all day.
is not the eldest son, he can't attack the knight, and the family is full of food, so he has the energy and financial resources to play some strange hobbies.
But as soon as the Fujian Jiedu envoy's recital came out today, Liu Sheng immediately understood that there was going to be a big chaos in the court.
This letter is not a clarion call for a charge, but a war drum when the two forces of the DPRK and China are wrestling to a fever pitch.
When the drum sounds, it means that the party is about to fight.
In addition, a few days ago, the special envoy of the Holy See returned from Europe and brought back the Pope's sternly worded "holy edict," demanding that Chinese believers should not worship their ancestors, not honor Confucius as a saint, not worship the gods of the Emperor of Heaven, and not be allowed to call Haotian God to blaspheme the name of Qisi. Chinese believers are not allowed to bow down to the emperor if they are officials, because the emperor is not Jesus; It is not legal for Chinese Christians to call Zhou Gong and Confucius saints, because canonization requires the permission of the Holy See......
I heard that when the emperor was questioning the missionaries, he was so angry that he smashed the inkstones.
Taken together, the attitude of the court towards missionaries is feared to change dramatically.
The Xungui's house stood too high, and it was the most vulnerable to being implicated, and the first thing he did when he went home was to call Liu Yu back.
"I've heard about Fuqing County for a long time. I'll say it again, you go and taste it carefully. This matter in Fuqing County was a few years ago. It had been played once a few years ago, and at that time, it was said that this trivial matter did not need to be taken seriously. Today, the Fujian Festival envoy played with great fanfare, but His Majesty was very angry. Do you understand? ”
Liu Yu thought to himself, it's all said and done, I don't understand anymore, so I'm not a fool?
The twists and turns of this Fujian festival envoy are clearly trying to figure out the intentions, or is it secretly given by the emperor?
Thinking about how close he was to Dai Jinxian before, is this really going to be implicated?
