Chapter 478: Where is the Golden Nest?

The emperor handed over the matter to him, and Wei Zhongxian was excited in his heart.

As long as things make a fuss this time, he will be sure to expand his rights, and he will definitely be able to overwhelm Jinyiwei.

The most important thing is that this time it is really a big case, he has been planning for so long, and it can finally be launched.

Once the plan succeeded, it was time for him to turn the tables around.

Wei Zhongxian walked outward, pondering in his heart, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

This time, let everyone see his old Wei's ability! Those people are shouting all day long, what do they know?

In the capital, there is a place where Catholics gather a lot, and this place is the Catholic library.

In order to be able to preach in the Ming Dynasty, Catholics have thought of many and different methods, among which the best way is to spread Western knowledge through books. In such a situation, there will be better results. This was also discovered after repeated experiments.

Now in this place in the capital, there are two people who have the final say in Catholicism, one is Guo Jingju, and the other is Jinnige.

The most important thing is that these two people are good friends, like Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, Shen Tingyun and others have a very good relationship with these two, and even always be together. The two even used to live in their home.

After finding out these relationships, Wei Zhongxian was ready to do something from this.

Once the emperor agrees with his statement and wants to severely punish Guo Jingju and Jinnige, this matter will be interesting. I don't know how they will choose when the time comes, Wei Zhongxian is still looking forward to it in his heart.

And inside the palace at this time.

Zhu Youxiao was also waiting quietly.

Jinnige is a person, Zhu Youxiao has really heard of it, and it was in his previous life.

Zhu Youxiao once sighed very much, but it was just for Daming, not for a person named Jinnige.

Because Matteo Ricci's story came back to Europe, the European missionaries were very excited, which greatly stimulated their hearts, and caused these people to be very radical and wanted to come to the East to preach.

One of them was Kinney Pavilion, who followed the path pioneered by Matteo Ricci and brought with him a lot of books to strengthen his communication with the Ming Dynasty, hoping to impress the Ming emperor and courtiers, so that the Ming emperor and his courtiers would allow them to preach in the capital. This is important.

Today's Jinnige Pavilion is the second time to Daming. He was very well prepared, not only bringing these Western scholars to the interest of future generations, but also bringing a whole library of books to China. These books are all hardcover, without duplication, and contain the latest achievements in theology, philosophy, science, literature and art after the Renaissance in European classics and after the Renaissance.

In order to raise new books and instruments, Kinnige roamed Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and other countries, and finally collected more than 7,000 hardcover books, all of which he brought to Daming.

In addition to these books, there were also various instruments that he also brought to Daming.

Later, Jinnige died of illness in Hangzhou, and the plan to introduce the "7,000 Western Books" to the Chinese intelligentsia was aborted.

Later, Li Zhizao, Wang Zheng and others translated some of these works sporadically, while most of the books were covered in dust and silently lost.

It was not until 1938 that when the Peking Catholic Church was sorting out its library, hundreds of the remaining books of the "7,000 Books" were discovered, including important scientific classics such as Copernicus's "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" and Kepler's "Copernicus's Outline of Astronomy".

When he saw the news at that time, Zhu Youxiao cried bitterly in his heart.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty really delayed too many things and missed a lot of opportunities. Now that he knows that the person Jinnige is in the capital, it is impossible to let him run away again this time; The books and instruments he brought with him will also be his own.

Since these people want to build a library, Zhu Youxiao is ready to build a library for them. Zhu Youxiao had already made up his mind in his heart, and it happened to be available now.

As for what Wei Zhongxian said, it is natural to change it, and it is natural to have a good discussion with them.

Zhu Youxiao is very confident in his negotiation ability and negotiation skills. He believed that he would be able to convince the priests to change their doctrines.

In a courtyard in the capital.

Guo Jingju and Jinnige are busy.

After the two arrived in the capital, they founded this small library, and invited many Ming courtiers and scholars to visit here and have a good conversation with them.

But these Ming courtiers and scholars were very interested in learning, but not in proselytizing.

The Ming Dynasty has its own culture and history, and although Guo Jingju and Jinnige made them believe in the sect, not too many people really believe in it.

And once the two of them move too much, they will attract the scrutiny of the government, and the Ming government seems to be very sensitive to this aspect.

In fact, Guo Jingju and Jinnige did not know that for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, gathering crowds to make trouble was very serious. How can missionaries like you do the same thing as the White Lotus Sect? Do you want to rebel?

No one cares if you are preaching, and no one cares what you are talking about, the officials of the Ming Dynasty just won't let you preach. 17

Don't think you're going to do anything, we don't know. After all, our Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty also did this kind of thing back then.

Rebellion through sects has been guarded against by all dynasties. Zhang Jiao, the celestial master of the Han Dynasty, is now famous.

Guo Jingju and Jinnige also begged the officials of the Ming Dynasty, hoping that they could introduce themselves to His Majesty of the Ming Dynasty.

Matteo Ricci met Emperor Wanli and buried him in the capital after his death. You know, this is already a special treatment.

According to the rules, these foreigners are not qualified to be buried in the Ming Dynasty, and if they die, they must be transported to Macao for burial, or they must be taken away by their friends and relatives and transported back to the motherland. Da Ming did not accept the corpses of foreigners at all. However, the Wanli Emperor made a special decree to bury Matteo Ricci in the capital.

The longer they lived in Daming, the more Guo Jingju and Jinnige understood what kind of power the emperor of this country held. So the two wanted to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to be able to preach through imperial power.

But in fact, it was not like that, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not seem to be interested in them, and did not see them at all.

After a long time, Guo Jingju and Jinnige became disheartened, and devoted themselves to taking care of the library in this small courtyard, hoping to spread the teachings to more people.

At this time, there was a sudden chaos outside.

Guo Jingju and Jinnige were both stunned, and after glancing at each other, they turned their heads and looked out, not knowing what was going on here.

Soon, they saw a group of men rushing in. Just look at the dress, you can know that this is the fan of the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty.

Guo Jingju and Jinnige naturally had contact with the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they knew very well what these Dongchang fans were doing. The lesson plans of those years are still often mentioned by people now. Could it be that something is going on?

Guo Jingju stretched out his hand to stop the Jinni Pavilion who was about to go up, stretched out his hand to pat him, and walked up by himself.

Wei Zhongxian walked out of the crowd, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Guo Jingju and the others.

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile on his face: "The environment here is also elegant. ”

After hearing this, Guo Jingju didn't mean to be happy in his heart.

This person in front of him is not easy to mess with. Judging from their clothing, this person is a eunuch, a confidant of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is followed by the fan of Dongchang. I'm afraid the identity of the person in front of me is about to come out.

"Who are you?" Guo Jingju looked at Wei Zhongxian and asked directly.

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Guo Jingju, the smile on his face did not change in the slightest, and asked, "Are you Guo Jingju?" ”

Guo Jingju nodded and said, "I am." ”

Wei Zhongxian didn't ask him again, but asked with a smile, "Where is Jinni Pavilion?" ”

"Is there anything you can do?" Guo Jingju thought for a while and asked,

"Our Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to see you." Wei Zhongxian turned his head to look at Guo Jingju, the smile on his face retracted, and said with a serious face: "Now call Jinnige out and follow our family." ”

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to see us?" Guo Jingju asked in disbelief.

It's just too sudden!

Although Guo Jingju and the others were looking forward to this day, they never thought that this day would come so quickly!

Guo Jingju and Jinnige couldn't help but have some trance, is this true? Xu Guangqi didn't come to inform them of this, what's going on?

Jinnige hurriedly walked over and said, "I am Jinnige." Your Emperor wants to see us, is what you say true? ”

"Of course it's true." Wei Zhongxian said angrily: "Now put down your things and go with our family." ”

After confirming the news, Guo Jingju and Jinnige immediately became excited, and naturally they didn't dare to stay any longer, so they quickly packed up their things and followed Wei Zhongxian.

Soon, the news spread that Wei Zhongxian took Guo Jingju and Jinnige away, and the emperor wanted to see the two.

The news reached the ears of Li Zhizao and Xu Guangqi, and both of them looked a little strange.

Especially Xu Guangqi, he is a little worried now. You must know that he has known His Majesty very well for such a long time, and His Majesty is not the kind of person who can agree with people casually, and he does not seem to have much affection for the sect he believes in.

This time, His Majesty recruited people into the palace, which was extraordinary. What's more, it was still His Majesty who Wei Zhongxian saw before, and then Wei Zhongxian went to summon the people.

If you want to say that there is nothing about Wei Zhongxian here, then no one believes it. Although Wei Zhongxian was relatively low-key during this time, in fact, everyone was not surprised by the appearance of this person, but they didn't expect him to get things on themselves.

"I'm going to the palace." Xu Guangqi stood up and finished speaking directly, then turned around and walked towards the palace.

Leaving Han Yi and Huang Kezhang stunned, neither of them understood what was going on.
