When Majdalzini came to Daming, he was naturally fully prepared, but at this moment, he was a little silent.

Now the momentum of Protestantism is alarming and panicked in the Holy See, which is suppressing it by all means.

In addition to the struggle of the monarchies for hegemony in the current chaos in Europe, the confrontation of doctrines is also the key.

The alliance represented by Spain, the Papal States or the Holy See was Christian, and the Protestant sects represented by France and the German Roman Empire, and war between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.

In European history, the so-called 'Thirty Years' War is not far off.

When Majdalzini came to Daming, he was also worried that Protestantism would take the lead, and wanted to consolidate the 'alliance' between Daming and Spain, and indirectly pull Daming into the Christian side.

After a period of silence, Majdalzini raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, it is true that some believers use their missions for personal gain, which desecrates the image of God and destroys the reputation of the Holy See. I have a proposal, that is, that the appointment of the clergy should be the responsibility of the Pope, but the right to dispose of it belongs to your country, and the Holy See does not interfere. ”

Catholicism is a very special religious organization, and at this time, it is even more **** and quite complicated. The Church has the privilege of transcending the monarch, and life and death are in the hands of the Holy See.

Now Majdalzini handed over the disposal right to Daming, which means that he has given up the right to manage.

Zhu Xu's expression was slightly different, but he didn't expect that Majdalzini would give him such a big gift as soon as he opened his mouth.

But even so, Zhu Xu was still not satisfied, and as soon as Majdalzini opened, it showed that the bottom of the Papal States could be lower.

A smile flashed in Zhu Xu's eyes, and he gently picked up the teacup.

Xue Zhengqing, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, looked at Majdalzini and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, we know very little about the Papal States and the Holy See, is it too abrupt for you to suddenly come to preach and ask my people to believe in your God?" Our emperor inherits the trust of all the people, and the court bears the responsibility of all the people. ”

Listening to the translator's words, Majdalzini looked at Xue Zhengqing with a harmonious smile on his face, and said, "What this adult said is reasonable and should be." Therefore, I suggest that the Ming Dynasty can open a certain place for us to preach and understand it slowly, so as to avoid too much confusion and not make the people who return to China feel uneasy. ”

Zhu Xu's expression did not move, and he nodded secretly in his heart. Majdalzini came prepared, this method is really difficult to refuse according to common sense, and the government and the opposition may agree.

But as soon as the mouth of religion is opened, it will not be able to hold back, it will spread rapidly in the Ming Dynasty, and it can no longer be controlled.

For this reason, the Japanese even launched a war, and the Shimabara Rebellion was caused by Christianity.

Xue Zhengqing frowned, quietly glanced at Zhu Xu, and then said righteously: "Your Excellency, I have investigated your churches in other places, they abuse, kill, obscene, amassed wealth, and do all kinds of evil, we don't want this to happen to my Daming." ”

The current missionaries are mixed, there are real missionaries, but there are more evildoers, they were executed in the Ming Dynasty, and there are not a few who are imprisoned.

This is a negotiation, and Majdalzini naturally understands that this is Daming opening an increase, and now he needs to make a counter-offer, or exchange consideration.

Majdalzini looked at Xue Zhengqing and said in a deep voice: "I admit what happened and apologize." We will do our best to prevent this from happening, my lord, I have faith in our missionaries, I have even more confidence in the law of the Ming Dynasty, and if so, you can send a monitoring agency to conduct regular inspections of us......"

Zhu Xu listened quietly, his eyes showing a little different color. The price of Majdalzini did not hesitate to pile up, which was completely different from what he expected, shouldn't it be quite tough, the supremacy of the Holy See?

Xue Zhengqing didn't seem to expect things to go so smoothly, he paused for a moment, and then said, "So, how does the Holy See want to manage my Ming disciples?" Who is in charge, how is it structured, organized? How do you want to preach, how, and where does the money come from? What are the requirements for Catholics? How the Church Resolves Internal Contradictions......"

Xue Zhengqing smashed more than ten questions in one breath, even if Ma Yidalzini had already prepared, he couldn't answer for a while, fainted, glanced at Xue Zhengqing, turned to Zhu Xu again, and said: "Your Majesty, as long as your country allows us to preach, the rest will not be a problem, we believe that we can solve it well." ”

Zhu Xu gradually realized that from the perspective of Majdalzini, the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the most prosperous and powerful country in the world, if you can preach here, it is worth paying the price of fighting, if you are preempted by Protestantism, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhu Xu gave Xue Zhengqing a look, and Xue Zhengqing said in a deeper voice: "My Ming Dynasty has a strict entry and exit management system, as well as a naturalization system. ”

In the face of the conditions of the Ming Dynasty's continuous accession, Majdalzini was angry in his heart, although the Holy See was falling in Europe, but it still had the ability to command the princes everywhere, it can be said that it was the uncrowned king, when did he suffer such anger?

But he couldn't help it, Da Ming was very important to him, to Pope Innocent X, and to the Holy See, and he must not lose the opportunity and let others take the lead!

Majdalzini held back his anger, made a look at the other Holy See personnel who were also angry, suppressed them, looked at Xue Zhengqing again, and said, "My lord, can you find a time to discuss such a detailed issue with your lordship in detail?" ”

Majdalzini was still very cautious and did not show all the cards of the Holy See, and it was clear that there was still a fierce bargain to be made.

For Catholicism to enter the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xu knew that it could not be stopped, but he had to control it and hold it in his hands.

He smiled and waved his hand, looked at Majdalzini, and said, "Your Excellency the Archbishop, there is no need to worry, I am very interested in the history of the Holy See, can the Archbishop solve the doubts?" ”

Majdalzini was naturally very happy, restrained his inner turmoil, and began to tell Zhu Xu in earnest.

In his mouth, the Holy See is naturally magnificent, and there is not the slightest filth.

Zhu Xu listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and commented a few words.

Zhang Yun felt that these things were boring, but she still sat next to Zhu Xu, maintaining a sitting posture, smiling, and calm.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty are quite 'straight', their sitting posture is 'correct', and their faces are similar.

The emissaries of the Papal States were all smiling, and Majdalzini did not say a word, and they were all honored and cooperated very tacitly.

The first formal talks between the Ming Dynasty and the Papal States took place in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, with the two sides exchanging their respective histories and trying to find common ground between the two sides.
