Beijing.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, among the Chinese buildings with flying eaves and corners, a three-story building in the baroque style stands quietly.

On the face of the door of the small building facing the street, a cross indicates its identity.

Matteo Ricci built the first church in Beijing, the South Church.

At this moment, in the priest's courtyard of the South Church, more than a dozen people who came to China to preach, such as John Tang, Richard, and An Wensi, were all listed.

Originally, these people were not going to get together.

However, in 1847, when Su Jin led the Luzon army to land in Guangzhou, he also cleaned up all the Portuguese in Macao.

The Han Kingdom gave the missionaries in China a choice, either to return to their own country or to Nanyang, or to wait in Wuchang for the specific national policy of the Han Kingdom to be determined.

Until Liu Ximing recovered Beijing, all these people gathered here.

Among the Jesuits in China today, John Tong and Richards are the most prestigious.

Tang Ruowang was because he had served in Qintianjian since the beginning of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and he was somewhat familiar with the officials of the former Ming Dynasty and the current Han Dynasty.

Needless to say, Julius became terminally ill after the cut-off of communications, and he, the missionary closest to the Han Emperor, became the hope of the Jesuits.

"Fr. Richard, you have also been invited to attend the founding ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, what do you think of this emperor, and can the glory of my lord be carried forward in his hands?"

Tang Ruowang eagerly asked Li Zhisi for news of the new dynasty, he originally thought that the Han Dynasty would also rely on his scientific knowledge like the previous Ming, but he didn't expect Liu Ximing to pay too much attention to him at all.

A look of amazement appeared on his face, "His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty can be said to be an earth-shattering ghost, his brilliance is enough to shine all over the world, and his kindness is enough to be virtuous." ”

"Didn't you see that on the day he ascended the throne, the people of the whole world were cheering, and the people in Beijing spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate, such a scene is unimaginable in Europe......

It seems that he is still immersed in the enthronement ceremony of that day, and has been talking about the situation of that day.

John Tang interrupted him with a frown, "Father, of course we know that the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty is a good ruler, but if this king does not approve of our cause, it will also have a huge impact on our missionary work. ”

Lys bowed a little awkwardly and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited, it's a lifetime honor to be invited to a celebration like this."

"Regarding the question of Father John Tong, I have had a lot of Chen Chen when I met His Majesty the Emperor before, hoping that we can be allowed to open churches in major cities, as we did in Chengdu, and allow us to serve the Han Dynasty."

"Oh? What did His Majesty the Emperor say? ”

John Tang, An Wensi and others were all excited.

A hint of helplessness flashed across his face.

"His Majesty the Emperor did not express this, he neither approved nor objected, but made a few demands on us."

Lyric straightened his waist and tried to imitate the scene of that day, and said aloud:

"His Majesty the Emperor said that he, as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, has the obligation to protect and carry forward the Chinese civilization, and my Jesuit is called a missionary, which is actually to spread the backward civilization of Taixi, which His Majesty the Emperor cannot bear."

"The missionaries were all foreigners, and when they came to China to preach, they also passed on a lot of information about China to Taixi, providing information for the invasion of China and Nanyang by the Taixi countries."

"In addition, His Majesty the Emperor thinks that the history of my basic religion is chaotic, and most of the scriptures cannot stand up to scrutiny, and it is very likely that it is just a religion created by people and collectives, and it is a superstitious thought, so His Majesty the Emperor cannot make a decision now."

A hint of indignation flashed on John Tang's face, "This is a blasphemy against God, and we should immediately find a way to change this dangerous idea of his." ”

Li Sisi sighed: "How to change, according to the newly formulated "Han Officials Law" of the Guanglu Temple of the Great Han Dynasty, which clearly states that only the citizens of the Great Han Dynasty are qualified to hold various public positions in the Great Han Dynasty, and we don't even have the opportunity to serve His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Then can we apply to join the Han Dynasty and become a subject of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty?"

Anwens touched her cheek and suggested.

The eyes of all the missionaries lit up.

Yes, if you become Chinese, then there will be less resistance to proselytizing.

As for everyone's respective nationalities, for today's Europe, everyone is just a change of emperor allegiance.

Li Sisi shook his head, "It's not realistic, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty cherishes Chinese nationality very much, in the eyes of the Han people, only they are the most noble in the world, people from other countries want to join the Han Dynasty, they must live in the Han Dynasty for more than 20 years, identify with Chinese culture and pass the Chinese language test under the Honglu Temple, and hold a large amount of assets." ”

"Of course, there are shortcuts, the Han immigration law stipulates that for the people of vassal countries, the threshold for joining the Han nationality is much lower, but now the Han does not seem to have a vassal state, and this article cannot be operated at present."

John Tang sat back in his seat with some chagrin, holding his head and saying in distress:

"Then what can I do, I heard that the Xuanyuan Temple under Zhongshu Province will soon hold a national religious conference to agree on the national religious management measures, and now the Xuanyuan Temple is only subordinate to the Daolu Division and the Sanglu Division, if we can't find a way to join it, even proselytizing is illegal."

"What should we do if the Emperor of the Great Han makes any blasphemous requests?"

Anwensi asked weakly.

John Tang sighed, "Let's take one step at a time, and let's keep God's roots in Huaxia first." ”

A hint of firmness flashed on his face, "Yes, we must get the quota to participate in the conference before the Xuanyuan Temple is held, so let's do it, I had some dealings with General Yu during my time in Sichuan, and I will go to him for help now." ”

"Okay, we are each looking for our own relationship, and we must ask to see His Majesty the Emperor before that."

While Tang Ruowang, Li Zhisi and others were struggling to find a way, Liu Ximing also summoned Lu Shaoqi, Chai Yuanming, Dong Fuyu and other visitors from Xuanyuanguan in the Forbidden City.

"People from outside the square pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor"

In the Qianqing Palace, Lu Shaoqi, Chai Yuanming and others bowed down to Liu Ximing with a smile.

"Hahaha, all the Taoist elders are exempt."

Liu Ximing stepped down from the throne with a sigh of emotion, "Fortunately, with the help of all the Taoist elders, I can determine the world, what reward you want, you can say it now." ”

Lu Shaoqi looked like a fairy and shook his head indifferently.

"We and other outsiders have nothing to ask for, Your Majesty called the emperor is the mandate of heaven, I can't wait to follow the mandate of heaven. Poor Road walked all the way from Wudang, and saw the resurgence of vitality in the land of China, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which showed His Majesty Shengming. ”

"The Taoist chief is really kind-hearted", Liu Ximing nodded and smiled when he saw this.

Dong Fuyu immediately smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, my senior brother is willing to be a fairy in the world, but the poor Dao has to fight for my Daomen, and now that the Han Dynasty is standing, I don't know if I can take care of the Daomen more."

"Hahaha"

For Dong Fuyu's straightforward words, Liu Ximing was not angry but happy.

He laughed and walked up to Dong Fuyu, and said with a teasing face:

"Dong Daochang is still that old man, but I like it. Why, the department in charge of religion in my Han Dynasty is called Xuanyuan Temple, how do you want me to take care of it? ”

"Naturally, it is the Taoist priest and the believers", Dong Fuyu looked like a hippie smile, but in fact, he said it quite accurately.

"I heard that Xuanyuan Temple is preparing to formulate the Han Religious Law, one is to restrict the types of sects, and the other is to strictly assess the personnel of the sects, which is ......"

According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, the relevant departments must solicit the opinions of relevant people in formulating relevant legal systems, and it is not difficult for Dong Fuyu and others to know the details.

Liu Ximing walked to the bottom of the imperial stairs with a smile, "Rest assured, I expelled the Tartars and recovered China in order to preserve my Chinese culture." ”

"Among the sects, although Buddhism has been completely sinicized, but after all, it came from Tianzhu, as for the foundation religion and the green religion, it is a complete pagan religion, only Taoism is the only local sect in my China, I don't support you to support anyone."

"Your Majesty"

At this moment, even Lu Shaoqi couldn't help but smile and thank him.

Liu Ximing sat back on the dragon chair and said:

"My support for the Taoist sect is mainly reflected in the mission, in Luzon, all my major cities will build large ancestral halls, for the common people's weddings, funerals, festivals and celebrations, etc., you may be able to do some articles."
