Wei Zhongxian said goodbye to the emperor and walked out of the Palace of Heart Cultivation, the meek and humble expression on his face was swept away, replaced by a fierce and gloomy face.

The young groom was prostrate in front of the carriage, and Wei Zhongxian stepped on his back to board the carriage, with a curtain of feathers and green covers, and the four horses were like flying, rumbling through the streets of the capital. Around the waist of the jade belt, the brocade guard in the flying fish suit carried the knife with the knife, and galloped left and right.

When the people of the capital saw this pomp, they all knew that it was a nine-thousand-year-old frame, and they avoided it one after another, and some of them couldn't dodge, and they would inevitably be whipped, these whips were specially made by Jinyiwei, and they could make people fly with flesh and blood.

After returning home, Wei Zhongxian instructed the Jinyi Guard Officer immediately: "Call Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun came to see me and worked." ”

"Yes."

Wei Zhongxian sneered, got out of the carriage, and walked to the room where he and his henchmen discussed important matters, without looking at Wang Yinchang and the others from beginning to end.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wei Zhongxian, a majestic feudal official, seems to be just a few small fish and shrimp of foreign officials, and what he really cares about is how many big fish these small shrimps can help him bite out.

Black clouds are coming, the wind and rain are coming, the people are panicking, and the whole capital is shrouded in shadows.

At this time, Luoyang was a clear sky, and Zhu Yousong had already received the news from Zhao Hong, knowing that the crisis had been lifted, and asked him to come back as soon as possible. The capital is now a place of right and wrong, and the farther away the better.

The annex adjacent to the palace was once expanded at the request of Zhu Changxun, and was later stopped by Zhu Yousong, but the foundation has been laid. Today, in this open space, a Western-style building is gradually taking shape.

The church built by Topernicus inaugurated with oriental elements and did not have the exaggerated tall and thin style of Gothic. The exterior is majestic and majestic, but the interior is gorgeous, with marble tiles and columns, painted and sculpted. The interior has changed from the darkness, solemnity and mystery of the old church, and the use of light paint and colorful decorations makes people feel relaxed and has a fresh fragrance.

Zhu Yousong walked around the church with Princess Zou in his arms, Princess Zou was very interested in the newly built foreign temple next to her house, and Zhu Yousong patiently explained to him while walking.

Thobastard, who was directing the craftsmen, was very excited when he saw Zhu Yousong and walked over excitedly. Seeing the extremely temperamental lady Zhu Yousong holding, he guessed in his heart that Bacheng was the mother of this generous lord, and he stepped forward to greet him warmly.

Zhu Yousong himself didn't know much about Catholicism, and he was very happy to see him coming, and asked him to continue to teach Catholicism to the princess. Thopernicus was full of spirits and spoke Catholicism in fluent Chinese, these people were very devout in their beliefs, and when they talked about their emotions, their eyes were moist and their hearts were stirred.

Princess Zou listened for a while, pursed her lips, dragged Zhu Yousong and said disapprehantly: "Their god is also a failure, a few mortals can nail him to the wood, even the land of the City God Temple is not as good." It's these walls, the courtyard is quite chic, it's good to have time to walk around. ”

Zhu Yousong looked at Tonperus, who was still immersed in the greatness of Christ and couldn't extricate himself, and was amused for a while, and was about to ask him a few questions, when a servant ran over and said breathlessly: "Lord Wang, Commander Zhang Yuanhua and Zhang are back." ”

Zhu Yousong asked nervously, "Just came back by himself?" ”

"I also brought an old man, a young man, who said that they were all surnamed Xu."

"Haha, I know, where are they, take me there." Zhu Yousong was about to go to greet him, but when he turned around and saw that the princess was rolling her eyes, she quickly put away her happy expression and said, "Mother, there is a very important guest coming from Jiangnan, and I want to greet him." ”

"Go, go, go, they are all important people, don't delay your big things for the sake of my insignificant old woman."

Princess Zou gave birth to Zhu Yousong at the age of sixteen, and she is only in her thirties this year. Zhu Yousong said with a smile: "You are still an old woman, I look like a young girl, if I take you out, I don't know and think it's my sister." ”

Princess Zou scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, be careful if you talk crazy, I tore your mouth, go to see you, important guest, I'm going back to the house to chant." ”

Zhu Yousong was surprised and asked: "Didn't you convert to Taoism and worship the Three Qings, what scriptures do you read?" ”

Princess Zou's face turned red, and she said a little embarrassedly: "I asked Lao Jun for one thing a few days ago, but it didn't go well, so I'll try to worship the Bodhisattva again." ”

Zhu Yousong: "......"

Looking at Tang Baini, who was bathed in holy light, Zhu Yousong suddenly thought that these two people were familiar with the astronomical calendar and should have a common language, "Father Tang, go, I'll take you to meet someone, you must be interested in meeting him." ”

Tonpernicus was intrigued and asked, "What is it?" ”

"A man as knowledgeable as you are, you know it when you see it."

In the guest hall, Xu Guangqi sat and drank tea, Xu Erdou was like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden, looking in the east and touching in the west, and kept admiring: "Rich!" It's so rich! Grandpa, look at this chair, the high-quality huanghuali, the fragrant sandalwood is the best in the wood. Wow, look at this vase, this texture, this color. ”

Zhang Yuanhua looked contemptuous, took care of his grandfather's face, and did not say anything to mock.

As Xu Guangqi's grandson, Xu Erdou has befriended powerful families since he was a child, but Xu Guangqi is an honest official. This makes his grandson, the poorest in his small circle of sons. Although he doesn't have it, his friends are richer than the other, so Xu Gongzi's vision is still very good. A person who sees too much above his own standard of living is the source of suffering. Xu Erdou has a deep understanding.

Zhu Yousong walked into the guest hall excitedly, and heard his voice before he saw it.

"Which one is Lord Xu? Where is Lord Xu? ”

Xu Guangqi didn't dare to slack off, after all, he was a prince, you can scold him behind your back, if you don't abide by the etiquette law when you meet, it will be contrary to the etiquette you preach. Xu Guangqi got up and went out, Zhu Yousong was about to step forward, but suddenly there was an excited cry from Tompernius behind him: "Oh! Paul! Why are you here, my friend. ”

Xu Guangqi was also a little excited, and said, "Father Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time, haven't you gone to the capital?" ”

Zhu Yousongqi said: "What, do you know each other?" ”

"My lord, this is our Catholic Paul, my parishioner, and we owe it to him in the south that we owe it to him."

Xu Guangqi bowed slightly, saluted, and said with a smile: "Yes, my lord, the fourth year of Wanli was a subordinate in Jinling, and the baptized priest was the Jesuit Luo Ruwang, whose Christian name was Paul. ”

Zhu Yousong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Xu Guangqi to be so knowledgeable and so foreign. The standard Ming Dynasty scholar in front of him, dressed in Confucian clothes, turned out to be a Christian.
