Chapter 479: Foreigner Census (Head of the Dragon Starry Sky Plus Update)
But soon the news came out, after all, the matter is so big, it is impossible to hide such news.
After getting the news, Han Yi's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.
At this time, Huang Kezhang walked up to Han Yi's side and asked directly, "Should we do something?" ”
"Don't move just yet." Han Yi shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, let's wait and see what happens." I don't know where things are going now, and it's best if we don't do anything. ”
In Han Yi's heart, it is very clear that His Majesty values Xu Guangqi. This time, if Xu Guangqi died by himself, there was no way, Han Yi would definitely step on it; But if Xu Guangqi hadn't died by himself, there would be no way to step on them, and His Majesty would definitely protect them.
"This matter was started by Wei Zhongxian, maybe there will be a turnaround." Huang Kezhang squinted his eyes and said, "That old eunuch is not so easy to handle, maybe he will set his sights on Xu Guangqi and them this time." ”
"Then Xu Guangqi and them have to take the recruitment," Han Yi sighed and said, "The most important thing is Your Majesty's attitude, we can't mess around." ”
Huang Kezhang nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, I will order it to go down and let my subordinates not mess around." If the timing is right, we'll do it again. ”
Without saying anything more, Han Yi nodded directly.
Xu Guangqi naturally didn't know about the conspiracy between Han Yi and the two. At this time, he couldn't take care of Han Yi and the others.
He is very worried about Jinnige and Guo Jingju now, and it may not be so easy for them to enter the palace.
If this matter hadn't been done by Wei Zhongxian, it would have been better; Now that Wei Zhongxian is doing something, then this matter will not be easy to do.
Xu Guangqi hurriedly ran to the gate of the palace and waited. If something really happens, he must tell His Majesty as soon as possible and persuade His Majesty as soon as possible.
Soon Guo Jingju and Jinnige were brought into the palace.
Zhu Youxiao also met Guo Jingju and the two.
The two foreigners should be said to be white, as for where they are from Europe, Zhu Youxiao does not know.
After looking Guo Jingju up and down, Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, just looked at the two people quietly.
After Guo Jingju and the two saw Zhu Youxiao, they respectfully gave a salute and said, "See His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Excuse me." Zhu Youxiao looked at Guo Jingju and the two, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have always wanted to see you, but I don't have time. As you should know, even though I rule the country, there are always some people who are causing trouble. Recently, I just fought a battle, and it was good, and I won. ”
Guo Jingju and the two of them were finally relieved when they saw that Zhu Youxiao's language was gentle and his words were also very kind.
This young emperor of the Ming Dynasty may be able to give strong support to the careers of the two of them, which is really good.
After a simple polite sentence, Zhu Youxiao turned the matter to the main topic.
Glancing at Guo Jingju and the two, Zhu Youxiao said directly: "I already know about the two of you. But I want to see you, not for this, but for something I want to ask you. Do you know Wang Wei? ”
In fact, this Wang Wei is also a talent. He is in his fifties this year, and he took the examination ten times before he was admitted to the imperial examination, and he is proficient in both Chinese and Western.
Zhu Youxiao can use Wang Wei to do one thing, and Zhu Youxiao has already thought about the official position.
It's just that Wang Wei can't be used for Zhu Youxiao for the time being. There is one thing that needs to be solved, and if it can't be solved, the person can't use it.
After hearing this, Jinnige hurriedly said, "Back to His Majesty the Emperor, we know Wang Wei. He was a very devout believer, and we had many exchanges with him after we met, and it was very pleasant. ”
Nodding slightly, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "It's good that you know each other." However, I seem to have heard that your communication does not seem to be very pleasant. ”
Guo Jingju knows more about Daming than Jinnige.
Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had a bright smile on his face, Guo Jingju had seen this kind of smile on the officials of the Ming Dynasty more than once, which proved one thing, this was a hypocritical smile. These things that these Ming people said and what they actually did are fundamentally different things.
In such a situation, there is no room for nonsense.
So Guo Jingju pulled a handful of Jinni Pavilion and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty said?" ”
"Daming rules the world with filial piety, I believe that you have been in Daming for so long, you should understand the meaning of this sentence. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Wang Wei has no son, which is a very serious matter in Daming. And concubines are the customs of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also the rules of the Ming Dynasty. ”
When Zhu Youxiao said this, the expression on his face became serious.
He looked at Kinney Pavilion and said directly, "In this matter, he seems to have violated your teachings. He has been very distressed lately, and has sought out a lot of priests in the hope of being understood. But it doesn't seem to be. ”
The facts are even more serious than what Zhu Youxiao said, because after Wang Wei's parents died, Wang Wei once had the idea of retiring the concubine, and once tried to marry the concubine. 361 Reading
It's just that Wang Wei's concubine forced each other to die, and Wang Wei didn't succeed. But Wang Wei also cut off the concubine and let her continue to stay at home, but not as a concubine.
Zhu Youxiao will never allow this kind of thing.
It is possible to change customs, but it is definitely not at this time, and it is not up to them as missionaries to initiate change. It's about taking the initiative to initiate change.
Conquest is not an unforgivable sin in this era. Many people may think that monogamy is the nature, but in fact, in ancient times, men were the main labor force, and there were more wars on the battlefield, resulting in an imbalance in the ratio of men and women, and it was easy to have a situation where there were more women and fewer men.
Concubinage is actually a balance, and it is also for reproduction. Of course, it is also the manifestation of the privileges of the powerful.
Concubinage can be changed, but the missionaries can't be changed, and they can't be changed in this way.
Elevating the status of women is the key, and emancipating the mind is the key. To be Catholic is to be a joke.
After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words and looking at the smile on Zhu Youxiao's face, Guo Jingju felt a chill in his heart.
He understood why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in front of him had seen his own people?
This is a dissatisfaction with oneself.
Guo Jingju knows what kind of power this emperor has, and the words of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can decide the lives of countless people.
In the face of such supreme power, Guo Jingju knew that he had no resistance against these people. The lesson plan of that year was not so concerned by the emperor, and everyone knew what the result was.
Guo Jingju took a step forward and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”
"You came to Daming to preach, and Daming still accepted it. But there is one thing that I hope you should understand, that is, the country I govern, all the sects, must abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and they must abide by the public order and good customs of the Ming Dynasty. If you can do that, that's fine. ”
Zhu Youxiao still needs to use these missionaries, but he can't let them know that he wants to do something in secret. On the surface, it was still necessary to appease these missionaries and put their minds in cages.
"Don't you think it's a bit too much? And in the Ming Dynasty, don't you think your doctrine is inappropriate? Shouldn't you come up with a set of doctrines that are more suited to the Ming Dynasty? Is it bad to create a new denomination? It seems that you have divided into many sects yourself, right? ”
When Zhu Youxiao said this, his eyes stared coldly at Guo Jingju and the others. If the two disagree, then this matter is uncertain.
In fact, for Zhu Youxiao, this matter is not negotiable.
Wei Zhongxian, who was standing next to him, was excited. Although the expression on his face was relaxed, he couldn't wait to disagree with the two of them.
Hurry up and refute it! Hurry up!
Wei Zhongxian was disappointed.
Guo Jingju and the two looked at each other thoughtfully.
The missionary work was so difficult, and they had come to this country from thousands of miles away, but the results were far from what they had imagined.
The country's acceptance of them was so low that it seemed impossible not to change if they wanted to preach here. Even Matteo Ricci didn't do that much.
Guo Jingju thought for a while and said, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor." You're wise and have a lot of point, and we think we should do the same. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's expression softened.
Count you as acquaintances.
"But the two of you are still a little thin." Zhu Youxiao looked at Guo Jingju and said, "All of you should be gathered in the capital to participate in the grand event." I will build you a large church in the capital, and I will also build you a large library, and I will store all the books you have brought with me and translate them so that we can have friendly exchanges. What do you think? ”
When Guo Jingju heard this, they looked at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.
This is good news for them.
They hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" Your wisdom and wisdom will shine through the ages! ”
Guo Jingju and the two are very proficient in Da Ming dialect, but they still have to practice in sycophancy.
Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said to the Wei Dynasty beside him: "Spread the order to all local yamen, wherever there are foreigners living in the place, census the population and register it, and send all foreigners to the capital." Let them not delay and ignore the commandment. The books and various equipment that these foreigners are now coming from are all inaccurate and missing, and they are all sent to the capital. This matter made Jinyiwei cooperate. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave and maid immediately ordered them to go down and let them do it. Wei Chao nodded hurriedly and said.
Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's very good." To prepare a banquet, I will entertain two priests. ”
