Chapter 26: The King of Ruyang
"Shao Chen, you're here."
Wang Gang of Ruyang led Zhu Shaochen around. Far away, I saw Zhu Shaoren, with a foreigner, waiting at the door of this chapel.
Come to think of it, after leaving for this, I'm afraid someone has already reported the news.
"Second brother, is this the soup and the priest?"
Zhu Shaochen looked at the foreigner curiously, who was dressed as a Confucian student.
If the hair is not brown, the bridge of the nose is high, and the eyes are blue; Wearing a square hat and clothes, you really can't tell that he is a foreigner.
"Yes, third brother, let me introduce you. This is the soup and the priest from Rome. His teacher at the church was Matteo Ricci, who had passed away a few years earlier. ”
Zhu Shaoren introduced Zhu Shaochen. O Matteo Ricci's apprentice! Matteo Ricci is a historical celebrity, and Zhu Shaochen remembers that there are still monuments to him in later generations.
"Hello, Soup and Priest." Zhu Shaochen stretched out his right hand and wanted to shake hands with Tang He.
Who knew that the Tang and priest actually knelt down on one knee, grabbed Zhu Shaochen's hand, and lowered his head to kiss it.
Zhu Shaochen was startled, and he almost didn't shake off the soup and his hand. Is this thing treating me like a girl?
"Hahaha, Lord Wang, look, my third brother is really going to be startled by Tang and the priest."
Zhu Shaoren laughed with King Ruyang on the side and said.
"Shao Chen, they must kiss the princes and nobles in the West. King Ruyang and I were also taken aback at the time. ”
"Don't say it, the Third Highness is still calm. I really shook off my hand at that time, and I thought that the priest was a dragon and yang. ”
King Ruyang also said with a smile. The two of them are ready to see their own jokes. Zhu Shaochen smiled bitterly, these two are not serious.
"Your Highness, hello, my name is Tang He, and I am from England. This time, I was ordered by Pope Paul V to come to Eastern China to preach my Catholic teachings. Tang He said with a solemn look in his eyes.
"There is still a long way to go! Soup and Priests. God bless you! ”
Hearing that he was from England, Zhu Shaochen naturally threw a sentence in English. American dramas for so many years are not in vain.
Of course, he will only say a few words. The other words are not very convenient to use to say hello.
"Your Highness, you know my English."
Tang He was so excited, he had a feeling of meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country.
Later, he talked a lot with Zhu Shaochen. It's a pity that Zhu Shaochen won't have much. I forgot what I studied in college.
"Don't get excited, Soup, Priest. I'll just say a few words. You can teach me slowly when you go back. But now I have something very important to discuss with my second brother. Zhu Shaochen hurriedly borrowed the second brother to escape.
"Third brother, why should you be in such a hurry, you have to find the second brother to find the king of Ruyang. Unless it's a very great thing, or the second brother won't let you go after a while. Zhu Shaoren said with a smile.
"100,000 urgent, second brother! It just so happened that the prince was also there, so I just happened to ask together. Lord Wang, second brother, do you know who is the most capable of judging the case in this Kaifeng realm? Zhu Shaochen asked.
Zhu Shaoren and King Ruyang glanced at each other, then looked Zhu Shaochen up and down, and said, "The person who can judge the case the most?" Do you mean the best person in prison? Didn't you go to him? ”
Zhu Shaochen thought about it, when did he find such a person? If you think about it, could it be him?
"Are you talking about Lord Lu, the prefect of Kaifeng?" Zhu Shaochen was surprised.
The king of Ruyang also said, "Oh? Speaking of this Lu Governor's Mansion! The people in the city called him Lu Qingtian. Some people think that he is the most outstanding prefect of Kaifeng except for Bao Longtu. ”
That's a bit too much. Kaifeng Mansion is a place where Ming ministers come out in large numbers.
King Ruyang continued: "Speaking of which, before the Lu prefect took office, all the cases left by the previous prefect were tried in less than three months. So it's not false to say that he is good at Xing Prison. However, this Lu prefect seems to be a little dissatisfied with the clan. The small people sue the clan and often the small people win, but the clan sues the small people, but there are few winners. ”
Zhu Shaochen thought to himself, don't look at you clans, who do evil every day. I dare to think that it is unfair for others to judge the case.
Zhu Shaochen actually forgot that now he is also a member of the clan.
"And this Lu Governor and Tang He priest are also acquainted. Before Priest Tang came to Kaifeng, he also came with Xu Hanlin's name. Why don't you take the soup with the priest? ”
Zhu Shaoren also said. He wants to create an opportunity for Tang He to preach to his own brother. Sure enough, the missionaries are all the same dog!
"I really guard Baoshan without knowing it! I thanked the prince and the second brother. I'm going to find Governor Lu. ”
Zhu Shaochen was about to leave after speaking. also ignored Zhu Shaoren's kindness. How could this missionary help?
However, I heard that many of the missionaries were very knowledgeable.
In Europe, all kinds of machinery are more or less known.
If you can go to your own woodworking workshop and transform the four-wheeled carriage, I am afraid it will be much better.
Just as Zhu Shaochen was about to invite Tang He and the priest to the palace tomorrow. Tang and the priest spoke first.
"His Royal Highness the Three Kings and Suns, I wonder when we will be able to meet again?" When Priest Tang heard that Zhu Shaochen was leaving, he hurriedly asked.
This statement is exactly in Zhu Shaochen's arms.
"Priest Tang, tomorrow you come to see me at the Zhou Palace, I also have a lot of things I want to ask you about. If you can't get in, let the doorman pass me a message, and I'll have someone bring you in. By the way, you can also find my second brother first. Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow in Fuchu. Zhu Shaochen replied.
"I really have something big to do today, I hope you will forgive me!"
After that, Zhu Shaochen hurried away. Regardless of the two princes on the side, they were dumbfounded.
"What are these three highnesses anxious about?" Tang He asked the two princes beside him.
"Shao Chen said that he had something important to find Lord Lu Governor's Mansion. Since he has something to do today, then Priest, go ahead and explain the meaning to us. Zhu Shaoren replied.
"Your Highnesses, let's go into the chapel and continue."
After that, the three of them also entered the chapel, which had just opened, and there were only a few believers at present.
Zhu Shaoren and King Ruyang are both founders, and they must continue to preach well.
Here, Zhu Shaochen walked out of the chapel directly from the back door, and Lu Jiao'er was already waiting at the back door.
It turned out that someone had already informed Lu Jiao'er to drive to the back door and wait.
This little guy in the Ruyang Palace's mansion is really sensible.
I don't know who this clever ghost is who he is?
When you come back, you must find a way to poach him.
Since Zhu Shaochen has begun to do things independently, there is a large shortage of talents around him now, so as long as he sees something good, he wants to poach it.
"Your Highness, are you planning to directly let Governor Lu handle this matter?" Ni Poyu asked with some curiosity.
"Yes, since Governor Lu is a master of Xing Prison, he will naturally let him deal with it. We're all blind. Besides, tell you to go and find out the people, will you? Zhu Shaochen replied.
