No one was interested in him, a sloppy old man, and in the city of Beijing, Galileo could see many people of the same color as himself at a glance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Many of them wore the same kind of trousers and blouses as the people here, and if it weren't for the crosses on their chests, it would have been difficult for Galileo to tell at a glance that they were from the far west, like himself.

But this also made Galileo have to sigh that this ancient empire may not be as closed and inaccessible as the legend says, at least it is rare for this kind of people of all colors to be free to buy and sell on the streets.

The sound of tinkling came from his ears, which aroused Galileo's great curiosity, and when he approached this long, long carriage and stopped on the side of the road, and a group of people lined up one after another got into the carriage, he couldn't help but sigh that maybe there should be this kind of transportation for ordinary people in Europa, and the gorgeous carriage should not only be for the powerful.

To Galileo's delight, the ancient Eastern empire may indeed be a country of extreme freedom.

Because he found that among the vast number of living beings in this country, many people do not seem to have the markers of religious beliefs, no eye-catching totems, and no scenes of massacre at any time because of their beliefs.

This was something that Galileo could not have imagined, and those who wore a gray robe with their bare heads might be the legendary monks, and those with hats and dusters might be the legendary Taoist priests of the empire, plus the missionaries who wore crosses like himself, and the little Asians who wore white robes.

How they managed to live in peace, and looking at the sergeants (who were actually the Terracotta Divisions) who were putting an end to a dispute over a sale, Galileo seemed to understand the truth of the matter, that this was not a country ruled by religion, and that their social order was established by professional politicians.

Passing by the Shuntianfu School Palace by chance, when Galileo saw some young scholars from all walks of life reading aloud to a column of notices with Chinese characters, he had already guessed that these might be the scholars in the Ming Empire that Montjersey had mentioned to himself, these people would be trained in personality and moral cultivation, and the outstanding ones would enter the official career as officials and rule over the people.

Galileo admired the system of relying on knowledge to determine who would run the kingdom, and he hated the kind of political status that relied on blood to determine political status.

For he himself is a man who has risen by learning, not by noble blood.

Before he knew it, Galileo had fallen in love with this ancient Eastern empire called the Ming Dynasty, and he first sighed at the vastness of this place, then at the uniqueness of this place, and then at the freedom and equality here.

Maybe what he sees is only the surface, maybe any person will be interested in a country that is stronger than his own country, after all, people go to high places.

But at least now Galileo is no longer reluctant to come to the Ming Dynasty, and even gradually forgot about the deception of Monte Jersey, and no longer cares about the illegal detention of him by these rude Ming knights.

The resplendent of the Forbidden City and the heavy and magnificent palace gates made Galileo feel the sacredness of this place, and he couldn't help but hold his breath and follow the seemingly beardless palace attendants into the palace of this ancient empire.

Under the blue sky, the glittering red walls and green tiles and the layered white marble steps made Galileo exclaim, he never thought that the palace of a country could be so solemn.

Galileo now really felt that he had entered the world of heaven in a trance, as if he was about to meet God, he made a simple prayer prayer religiously, and followed the attendant to the Qianqing Palace.

What kind of person is the emperor of this empire, could it be that he is also an old man with deep eyes, or a queen with sharp eyes?

But when Galileo walked into the Qianqing Palace and saw a young man in a yellow robe appear, and the attendants beside him were saluting, he realized that this was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Galileo was a little disappointed by this, he never thought that the ruler of this huge empire would be such a young person!

In his imagination, the emperor of this kind of empire should be an old man, because the old man is generally a wise man, with an open-mindedness and mind that is different from others, and a thorough understanding of everything.

Zhu Youxiao was also looking at Galileo, he had already learned in advance that this Galileo, who had been deceived by himself from Florence, was going to meet him today.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't think about receiving Galileo with any grand ceremony, the reason is very simple, there is no need for this.

"Bring him to Xinuan Pavilion", Zhu Youxiao did not get off the dragon, and said that after he finished, he was carried by the eunuch to Xinuan Pavilion.

Galileo didn't expect this emperor to be so cold to him, which made him a little disappointed, and sighed that maybe he was still a little arrogant in the end, just like the short governor, but maybe because of self-confidence, after all, as the ruler of a huge empire, it is inevitable to have some contempt for people in other countries, at least he didn't kill himself directly because he was wearing a cross, maybe this is already the greatest luck.

Galileo secretly rejoiced that he began to return to reason, and he no longer blindly yearned for this country like Marco Polo, and he began to follow the inner servant to the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.

He thought that the tallest palace was the emperor's residence at the beginning, but what he didn't expect was that the emperor would work in such a small space.

Galileo, who had already begun to feel that his understanding of this empire was beginning to return to objectivity and rationality, was shocked again as soon as he entered the Xinuan Pavilion, because he saw that this emperor and his ministers were actually sitting in a small space discussing state affairs!

In front of me, apart from a map and a lot of copywriting, there was hardly any ornate furnishings.

Moreover, the emperor and his ministers were actually seriously reviewing the recital in such a small space, and he could still see an elderly official suddenly standing up and telling the emperor something, and the emperor listened very carefully and asked seriously.

Later, Galileo learned that this minister was Xu Guangqi, a university scholar who would take care of himself in the future, and he was also an academic official.

Galileo seemed to understand the secret of how a young emperor could take charge of this vast empire, perhaps because of his blood, which became emperor at a young age, but the empire was ruled by most professional politicians.

"The emperor of this empire has his own large group of advisors, he can consult all the good ways he wants at any time, and he will not let the empire pay the price for his youth and recklessness, which may be the reason why such a huge empire can not be divided because of different beliefs, because everyone in this empire has a clear division of labor, and everyone can find their place here."

Galileo wrote in his diary that he did not know when he began to learn to keep a diary and became interested in the social sciences.
