Chapter 532: To Catch or Not to Catch (5)
Zhang Yiheng came in quickly, a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body. When he saw Zhu Pingjin, he didn't have any sincere fear, but just bowed deeply, saying that he would meet the prince face to face, just like a scholar usually meets.
The king of the Ming Dynasty was generally equal to zero politically, but only the first rank of the Son of Heaven in terms of etiquette. Some of the more serious vassal kings often clashed with the Wenchen group who held real power because they were despised in terms of etiquette.
The deposed Tang Shu Zhu Yujian (later Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty), it was precisely because he asked the civil officials passing by Nanyang to worship him according to the system, and offended the civil official group in the world, which was constantly poisoned by the civil officials, and until today it is still trapped in the high wall of Fengyang. However, the Shu prince in front of him is also like a Tang Shu person, who attaches great importance to etiquette and requires his subordinates to abide by the rules.
His son Zhang Yiheng's frivolous and rude behavior fell in Zhang Fakong's eyes, and Zhang Fakong's wrinkled old face suddenly turned red. He had the heart to reprimand his son fiercely, but because he was not good at being near his son, he had to stab his son viciously with his eyes.
However, the reaction of the prince was greatly unexpected by Zhang Fakong.
Because when the son of the world sees his son, he is as cordial as he has seen a friend for many years:
"Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be formal, come, just sit and talk!"
"Shizi, do you know Inuko?" Zhang Fakong asked in surprise.
"Naturally!"
Shizi replied with a smile: "Lisis is Italian, Anwensi is Portuguese, they can speak Italian, Portuguese, Latin and a little Chinese, but Benshizi and Miss Luo only know Chinese and English, that is, they don't understand Italian, Portuguese and Latin." If you don't understand each other's words, you can only make blind comparisons, how much will this miss the right thing? So, without your son as a translator, we had to dance when we met! It's just that your son-in-law never reported his family, and this son only learned today that he was the son of Boss Zhang! ”
Shizi's words were relaxed and witty, but Zhang Fakong felt a chill down his spine.
Unexpectedly, this yellow-haired and blue-eyed Lissi is still the favorite of the prince, and I am afraid it will take some twists and turns to get what he wants!
What's even more worrying is not the son of the world, but the stupid son in front of him who doesn't know the world. If he collides with himself face to face, where will his old face go?
Zhang Fakong was nervously thinking about countermeasures, the two had already spoken, it was the son of the world who asked, and the son answered.
"Mr. Zhang, what did this Shizi ask about last time......
"Shizi, the student has already tested Lysus. He had not heard of the English Newton, nor did he know what the three laws of motion were......"
"What about Copernicus and Kepler?" Shizi's voice was a little surprised.
"Both of them know it. He said that these two men, like Martin Luther and Calvin, were traitors to Christendom and should be burned at the stake!
Ricles also asks how much does the Son know about the pagan world? I think he is worried that you will mistakenly believe in the cult and go to hell in the future......"
Hahaha! A hearty laugh came from the mouth of the prince, who had never been smiling in the eyes of the minister.
Zhang Fakong, who was anxious, became more and more worried in his heart, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for him to take the initiative to bring up the topic of Yiren and Yijiao today.
Just when Zhang Fakong pondered his careful thoughts, Shizi had already stopped laughing and asked again:
"So when will the craftsmen of Macao arrive? Is there any definite news on Ricles? ”
"He and An Wensi are also looking forward to dedicating themselves to the prince as soon as possible, but ......" Zhang Yiheng shook his head, but then showed a smile, "But the letter written by Lord Wu has helped." Both the churches in Nanjing and Hangzhou sent priests to Chengdu......"
"Priesthood means little. They understand both Ben Shizi and Miss Luo. The prince waved his hand magnificently, interrupting Zhang Yiheng and emphasizing: "What the prince wants is a craftsman, and what he wants is a skilled craftsman who can protect the country and the people!" ”
"Yes, both Ricane and Anwensi know this!"
Zhang Yiheng only smiled at Shizi's interruption.
"Therefore, the priests who have been sent will bring thousands of hardcover books, and the thousands of copies that have already been shipped to Beijing will also be copied and sent......
Shizi, this batch of books is said to have a total of 7,000 books, all of which were collected from the Taixi countries when Jinnige entered my Ming Dynasty for the second time in the last year of Wanli, which can be described as priceless treasures.
The imperial court is blind and ignorant and treats He's Bi as a pebble. The instruments brought from the Tessie countries are now piled up in the corner of the warehouse, and no one cares! ”
"Good! How much silver is needed for that batch of instruments and books, let Li Si open a list, and this son will pay the bill according to the order! The books that really can't be shipped are hired by the Jingshi side to copy them day and night!
Wu Jishan has made a meritorious service, and this son will reward him well!
Shanghai people are Shanghai, starting from Xu Guangqi, they have a world vision! ”
……
The prince rewarded Wu Jishan, and the son who handled this matter will inevitably be rewarded.
However, his son's future is there, but Lao Tzu's career has come to an end. It's hateful, there is no way to teach the son. My son has done so many great things, but I don't know anything about it!
The feeling of being betrayed by his own son and the remorse of throwing himself into the net made Zhang Fakong more and more entangled the more he thought about it. A sour old tear almost washed away his loose eyelids, leaving a good story of "tears spilling on the lord of the country".
Fortunately, the tossing skills necessary for the survival of officialdom saved Zhang Fakong, and made him understand that now is not the time to admit defeat in tears, but to fight back resolutely.
So how to fight back?
These questions are simply not a problem for Zhang Fakong, who has been in the journey for a long time: how smart the prince is, does someone still need to grasp the core issue with words?
Cough! Cough!
Zhang Fakong's asthma flared up at the right time.
The cough seemed to remind the prince that he hadn't asked about the business yet!
I saw that Shizi quickly straightened his face, sat back on his wooden dragon chair, and put on a posture of interrogating the prisoner:
"Zhang Yiheng, Er's father reported to this son of the world, saying that his fallacies slandered the son of the world, and falsely called the son of the world an Aries essence, but is there such a thing?
What exactly is the content of his letter to the Vatican?
Also, who instructed him to write the history of the country privately?
Have you been involved in it, recruited from the truth! ”
"Aries?"
Zhang Yiheng was obviously stunned for a moment, and it was clear that he had never heard of it. But in a moment he burst out laughing: "That's the white lamb!" The doctrine of Christ is a metaphor for purity and immaculateness! Reichsith is a praise to the Son, how can there be any slander? ””
The prince did not laugh, but became more serious: "Then it is a fact that he wrote a letter to the Vatican and privately wrote a history of the country?" ”
Son's temper won't talk nonsense, right?
Jun is right, but I don't regret taking the medicine. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger. If this king has a fierce attack, he will eat people!
And when is it? How many people were hooked by the prince's pen, and they couldn't even see the sun the next day, so they were pulled out and banged!
Zhang Yiheng was just about to speak, cough, cough! Zhang Fakong's asthma flared up again, and he was wheezing heavily.
Pepsi filial piety comes first. Zhang Yiheng had no choice but to run over and beat his father's back.
However, what he saw was his father's fierce eyes.
……
Zhu Pingjin looked at his father and son's big eyes, and couldn't help but be happy.
Although he didn't know the details of Zhang Yiheng before, he still knew a little bit about his personality after a long time of contact.
Zhang Yiheng hated the eight strands of the imperial examination and denounced it as "a wall of decaying wood and dung".
Correspondingly, Zhang Yiheng, like Xu Guangqi, a representative of "Western learning from the East", not only does not reject the novel knowledge from the West, but takes it seriously with an attitude of "seeking truth and being responsible".
IN ORDER TO BETTER LEARN WESTERN STUDIES, ZHANG YIHENG SECRETLY ENTERED THE CHURCH AT THE RISK OF THE WORLD'S DISAPPROVAL (WEI); In order to grasp the essence of Western learning, he taught himself Latin and Portuguese, which most of the missionaries to China were proficient in (Note 1).
But Zhang Yiheng is not perfect. He has a straightforward side and a stupid side. In the words of Zhu Pingjian's previous life, it means that the IQ is very high and the EQ is low; It's okay to do things, but it's not okay to be a person.
Asked Zhang Yiheng about the dispute between religious power and monarchy, it was a piano to the cow, it was better to directly find Li Xiangsi and ask him face to face.
However, Zhang Fakong's attack on Christianity is by no means untargeted.
After the braiding play began, the Western missionaries represented by John Tang gradually took off the coat of scholars and revealed the true face of mind controllers with the help of a good personal relationship with the emperor.
On the grounds of Christianity, they grossly interfered with the folk customs and beliefs of the Chinese people, and even directly attacked Confucianism, which China regarded as the study of saints.
At the same time, the disputes between various sects within Christianity and the national interests of Christian countries are also projected onto China, a country far from the East.
The complete ban on Christianity in Kang Mazi was not a personal dispute between Kang Mazi and Western missionaries, but that Kang Mazi, as a shrewd politician, had keenly discovered that his imperial authority was being eroded by the Christian church.
One of the most obvious examples of this is that the Holy See in Italy actually issued an amnesty to all the parishioners in China, asking them what they can and cannot do!
The monarch is the state, and the monarchy is the sovereignty. The audacity of the Holy See has in fact seriously violated China's national sovereignty. Since then, successive Chinese governments, whether feudal dynasties or people's republics, have maintained the highest level of vigilance against that aggressive religion. Until Zhu Pingjian and his family crossed, the Christian Church in China still had no affiliation with the Vatican!
Zhu Pingjin's profound thinking and grand vision through time and space, of course, are difficult to be known by the intriguing Zhang father and son.
As Zhu Pingjin expected, Zhang Yiheng really didn't understand his father's dilemma, and began to shout for Li Xiangsi:
"The Vatican is where the Taixi Holy See is located, just as Dragon and Tiger Mountain is to Taoism, and White Horse Temple is to Buddhism! What's wrong with Ricles' writing letters to his fellow believers, but they are just some righteous opinions and receiving disciples to preach? ”
"That book of the Holy Religion into Sichuan is nothing more than what Li Si saw and heard when he built a church and collected disciples, what does it have to do with state affairs, and what does it mean to write a national history privately?"
"Lisi Bentaixi people, come to Daming thousands of miles to spread new knowledge, should be treated with overseas Xuanzang, how can they be polluted with a suspicious heart?"
"Shut up! You ignorant beast! ”
Zhang Fakong, who couldn't bear it, stood up with a red face, and had a seizure in front of his son in front of the son, but then he was pressed back to the embroidery pier by a violent pant.
This time the asthma attack was real.
……
On the evening of the same day, Zhu Pingjin, the prince of Shu, summoned Liao Daheng, the governor of Sichuan, and his ministers at night to discuss how to extend the experience of the Senate of "protecting the country and the people, and the world is peaceful" prepared by the Jianzi region to the whole of Sichuan.
According to the constitution finally agreed, the Senate of "Protecting the Country, Protecting the People, and Maintaining Peace in the World" will be established in accordance with administrative divisions, from the provincial level to the county level.
Its members include clans, nobles, officials, gentry, industry and commerce, farmers, religion, army, Tusi, women, barbarians and other representative figures from all walks of life in Shu.
The Senate is not just a vase of advice, it has three powerful powers:
1. Kuang Zhengjun's loss:
2. Correcting the magistrate at the same level;
3. Review and approve the fiscal revenues and expenditures of the localities at the same level.
In other words, in addition to personnel and financial powers, the Senate of "protecting the country and the people, and maintaining peace in the world" also has the power of impeachment against the monarch.
In China, there has to be a leader for everything.
In the whole province of Sichuan to promote the "protection of the country, the people, the peace of the world" Senate, the son of Shu Zhu Pingjin directly named the highly respected Sichuan political left envoy Zhang Fakong Zhang to take the lead. As for Zhang Yiheng, the son of Zhang Fakong, he was entrusted by Zhu Pingjin with the important task of teaching and learning in the Tongwenguan of the Huayi Department.
When Zhu Pingjian, the prince of Shu, summoned important ministers to deal with the backlash from the province, a will that was also self-contained was sent to Wu Jishan.
He was ordered to put the Jesuit priest in prison for his sin of disrespect and lawlessness.
In the face of the stunned Lord Wu, the eunuch Zuo Tong clarified the specific requirements of the prince:
Let Li Sisi go to prison for three months and accompany him to the killing field (Note 1), so that he can understand what is the national condition of the Ming Dynasty and why it is necessary and important to establish Christianity with Ming characteristics!
Note 1: Fake shooting. Bang bang bang!
Just when your heart is like a dead soul wandering too empty, you find that others have fallen, and you are still standing.
Plagiarism is definitely the best way to fight corruption and promote clean education, and there is no one.
