Chapter 209: A Visitor from the West

This Western mission was the mission of the Holy Roman Empire, because since John Tang was killed, Chongzhen had forbidden missionaries to preach in Daming, and they were here to persuade Chongzhen to allow them to continue preaching.

Zheng Chenggong saw that they were only envoys and wanted to meet the emperor, and in line with the principle of hospitality, he sent someone to escort them from Macao to Beijing to meet Chongzhen.

However, these envoys learned from the missionaries in Macao that Chongzhen was a good woman (more than 20 concubines were sealed in one year), so they specially selected two young and beautiful Western women from among the missionaries in Macao to come to Beijing to dedicate to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen is lustful, who is not lustful for men, but Chongzhen really can't accept this kind of forced thing to offer beautiful women, he clearly knows the intention of this mission, it is nothing more than to please Chongzhen's favor and offer beautiful women to preach in China.

But Chongzhen can't stand the oppression of beautiful women, even if it is a Western woman, what can be rescued still has to be rescued.

After bidding farewell to the concubines, Chongzhen met with this Western mission.

There were more than 20 members of the mission, the leader was called Wilson, and the others were dressed as missionaries. What made Chongzhen's eyes shine was that the two little Western beauties in the mission were very good-looking, Chongzhen couldn't help but look at them a few more times, and Chongzhen's actions were all seen by Wilson.

After the ritual of worship, Wilson saw that Chongzhen had a good impression of the two Western girls, so he began to say the purpose of his trip, "Great Emperor Ming, we are from the Holy Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire is willing to be friendly with the emperor forever, these two beauties of the Holy Roman Empire are dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor, I hope the emperor will laugh!" ”

So Chongzhen knew that the two Western women were called Scarlett and Kate, this Scarlett was about seventeen or eighteen years old, about 172 years tall, as tall as Chongzhen, sexy and charming, like the black widow Scarlett in Chongzhen's previous life; Kate was about fifteen or sixteen years old, only 160 tall, and smiled like a sweetheart little angel.

"Daming is a peace-loving country, if you keep your duty and abide by the laws of Daming, I am willing to reconcile with you forever!" Chongzhen continued, "I thought that when men and women were together, they wanted you to be willing for men and women, but you actually offered beautiful women, this is an oppressive act, and I can't accept it!" ”

Although these two Western women followed their parents to live in Daming for a period of time, their thinking was still on the freedom and equality of men and women in Europe, only because Wilson told them that for the sake of Jesus, this was a last resort, plus they lived in Macao, and they knew a little about Chongzhen's deeds of resisting the attack of 500,000 troops with 100,000 troops, and taking 5,000 troops to pacify the Liukou for many years, knowing that the Ming Emperor was a heroic figure, they were willing to let Wilson sacrifice them to Chongzhen, Hearing that Chongzhen actually said a point of view of "you love me", I couldn't help but have a lot of good feelings about Chongzhen's new life.

As far as they know, the rights of Ming women are very low, and it seems that the emperor respects women very much.

"Respected Emperor Daming, don't worry, these two women respect the emperor's majesty and strategy, they know that you are a hero and came voluntarily!"

Wilson looked at the two women and asked them to express their attitude, and they had a better impression of Chongzhen at the moment, and they all said, "Yes, we do." ”

"We have a saying in China that there is no merit and no mercy, the so-called nothing to be courteous, either traitor or theft, you send me beautiful women for no reason, is there any purpose?"

"The Holy Roman Empire has sent me to communicate with Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty will allow us to preach in your country, so that the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven will be preached throughout the world."

"The gospel of the kingdom of heaven? What is the gospel of the kingdom of heaven? ”

"When we die, we either go to hell or go to heaven, which is a peaceful, free country. Each of us is born with sin, so we must continue to atone for our sins before we can enter the kingdom of heaven after we die! ”

Chongzhen was deliberately stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Nonsense, born guilty, what is the sin of a newborn child." If you say that an adult is sinful, I believe it, but if you say that you are born sinful, isn't that deceitful? ”

Wilson saw Chongzhen smiling, and explained solemnly: "Your Majesty, Adam and Eve were tempted by the serpent, violated God's prohibition, and stole the forbidden fruit, thus sinning. This is the root of all sin and calamity, called original sin, and we humans are the offspring of Adam and Eve who ate the forbidden fruit, so we are all guilty as soon as we are born. In order to punish mankind, God did not allow mankind to enter the kingdom of heaven. The great Jesus was born and sacrificed Himself to redeem mankind, and God re-established a new covenant with mankind and brought about the gospel of God's salvation. ”

"According to your meaning, the love of a man and a woman is a violation of God's prohibition, so why are you so good to marry a woman and give birth to so many sinners? Isn't this knowingly disobedient to God? I think you should learn from our Ming monks, and never marry or have children for the rest of your life. ”

Wilson was asked, not knowing what to answer Chongzhen's words, the two Western women heard Chongzhen refute Wilson like this, and they were very reasonable, and they had a better impression of Chongzhen, and their eyes were full of worship.

"Wilson, this cult of yours is heresy!" Seeing that Wilson could not answer, Chongzhen angrily rebuked, "You teach the first commandment: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt as a slave. You have no other gods but me, and you think that man is born sinful, so why don't you die? I am a Chinese country, and I pay attention to "benevolence", "morality", "righteousness" and "courtesy". Your religion forbids its members to enter the ancestral hall and the Confucian temple to worship, which is a betrayal of the ancestors; Fifth Commandment: Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. But you think that your fathers Adam and Eve are sinful; Your sixth commandment: Thou shalt not kill, but you, the Roman Catholic Pope, allowed the Crusaders to plunder! ”

"Your Majesty, those are infidels." Wilson argued that the Ming Emperor was angry, and that the task given to him by the Holy Roman Empire was even more difficult to complete.

Wilson didn't know that Chongzhen knew so much about the contents of the Bible, but these contents were contradictory to each other, and Wilson couldn't explain them, so he could only unreasonably justify that the people killed by the crusaders were heretics.

"If you don't believe in your religion, you're a heretic, so if I don't believe you, you're also a heretic?"

"Your Majesty, as long as you believe it, you are not an infidel?" By this time, Wilson was still so naΓ―ve.

"I believe you're a ghost! Go and tell your God, go! Chongzhen said: "Come on, pull out and kill this cult crook!" ”
