Zhao Shizhen's death did not make any waves in Beijing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just as he thought after despair, he died at this time, and in exchange for everyone's more conviction that he was killed by Kyaukshengguang.

For Chen Jian, even if he has done a lot of foreshadowing before, the evaluation of these teams of more than a dozen people is only: although it is not a tribute, it is not a reverse species.

In fact, these eight words are quite rare, but it is also difficult for these dozen or so people to achieve their goals.

It seems that it has become a blockbuster, and it has caused a lot of sensation in the first month after arriving in the capital, but this sensation is not necessarily a good thing.

These people are messengers, and no matter how you say it, they are also under the control of the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple. If you want to be taken seriously and cause a sensation, you must make the movement bigger, otherwise it is estimated that these two departments will not have the heart to put a lot of thought into it.

The Li Dynasty was on the throne at the time of the new monarch's accession to the throne, and the time was just in time for the dozen or so people to go to Beijing. The Ministry of Rites' normal mind is more focused on North Korea, and the affairs of North Korea are not only the problems of North Korea, but also the problems of the entire Celestial Empire system.

The Ming Dynasty is also fighting for the country, Li Hui is not the eldest son, if the officials of the Ministry of Rites agree that Li Hui is enthroned as the king of the Korean state, then the dispute between the king of Fu and the prince in the country will have one more reason to borrow. Even if Li Hui's eldest brother was once a prisoner, he may not be able to ascend the throne if he was a prisoner, which is also a case to follow in this dynasty, and there is no way to make a fuss about it.

It can be said that the Ministry of Rites' mind at this time is basically on this, and if it weren't for the comet and disaster relief, I'm afraid it would be difficult to be taken seriously.

Now that he has snatched all the limelight from the DPRK and has become the focus of attention, problems have also arisen.

Many people are keenly aware that Chen Jian's group of people began to have a relationship with Gao Yu and others in Fujian, and the matter of the comet was also sent to the capital by Gao Yu through his own channels, so this matter became troublesome.

There are not many people who really believe that the comet is a warning from the heavens, but they just use this opportunity to achieve their own goals.

Although they don't believe it, it doesn't mean that they can't think that the matter of recalling the internal officials after the comet in the eighteenth year of Jiajing can't be used at this time.

Tax supervision and the like are by no means a good phenomenon, they can only be said to be helpless, and the damage caused in the local area is indeed great, but it can really get money. But if it's just to get money, what's the use of the accumulation of thousands of years of culture and systems? Mengyuan's tax package system can also get money, but the damage to society is probably not small at all.

Moreover, the work of the mine supervisor and the like is somewhat similar to the Spanish method of mining silver in South America. It is also a system of conscription, and the levy of conscription, but because of the extremely large population, it is not so ruthless that it is not a problem of imaginary mine mining.

Mining is a skilled job, and the eunuchs must not have such a level, and there are not so many hired free laborers, which is not a capitalist form, and once there are so many free laborers and they have to worry about rebellion, the miners are the most prone to problems.

However, the land of the vassal king cannot be moved, and the land of the gentry is a national policy, and these two dare not move or move, and they can only ponder some side ways.

Raising tens of millions of pigs and sheep, three parties suck blood, two of which are "legal", and the other blood-sucking will also attract opposition, which is actually not clean.

If the tax supervisors dared to take the gentry, they might be called the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't have the courage or ability, and they were just another kind of parasite that sucked flesh and blood dry.

They are all parasites, so it doesn't have to be who is nobler than the other.

For civil officials, when the emperor was seriously ill six years ago, it was the closest they could get to recall the mine supervisor and tax supervisor, but the first assistant instigated it, so it couldn't be done.

The dispute between friends continued, all kinds of strange cases occurred frequently, and after waiting for so long, I finally looked forward to the opportunity of heavy rain in Beijing, earthquake in Xi'an, Fujian, and comet, which was an opportunity that I had been looking forward to for six years.

But this opportunity was ruined by this group of people, who gave a completely different answer. In fact, this has crossed the line, and it is inevitable that it will cause a huge backlash and disgust.

There is a big problem with the so-called national letter that has been circulated itself, and the concept of Great Kyushu is also challenging the bottom line of ideology.

If handled well, this is at most a small anecdote that is ridiculously arrogant and ridiculous. But if you offend someone, this is what no one is out of the system, and you can even dismiss it directly.

Jian Chen was well aware of the impact of writing like this, but he had to write it that way.

On the one hand, there is a group of people behind him, if he writes a tributary text like Ryukyu Annam Joseon, he will be assassinated in minutes after returning home. On the other hand, he knows the stubbornness of the conservative forces, and he is not prepared to embark on the road of reform at the top, but as long as one percent of the conservative stratum accepts this concept, there is much to be done.

It's not that there is no chance at all, and officials also have different opinions about this so-called national letter that has been circulated.

After all, Chen Jian climbed his relatives on the pole and climbed until the Shang and Zhou dynasties, so he could neither tell a lie nor prove it to be true.

And this relative has no legal disputes, and he is also full of praise for the founding ancestor, and he said that the righteousness of the country is not so cloudy, which can be regarded as the recognition of relatives.

Moreover, the officials are also a group of people who like to talk about nobility and morality, and since they talk about nobility and morality, the officials have to accept that Chen Jian and others are in Quanzhou for disaster relief and famine preparation, and so on, and it is not good to beat them to death with a stick.

Things on the surface still have to be passable, so even if there are some inappropriate places in the national book, it still gets a pretty good evaluation that is neither a tribute nor a reverse species.

The Korean state is a filial son, and the Japanese country is a reverse species, sandwiched between the two, it can be said that it is not up or down, and there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Upward, that is a distant relative; Down, that's Yidi.

It's just that the evaluation of these eight words is tilting towards the bad side on the whole, and it is the opposition of many forces, including those who are unlikely to be united, are also united at this time.

For example, the Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci.

He had planned to rely on the means of calendar astronomy to gain the emperor's approval, so that he could facilitate his mission. Relying on books on mathematics and engineering to make good friends with scholars is only the first step in the ultimate goal, and only in this way can the next few steps be taken.

However, Matteo Ricci himself was not a formal astronomer, and his mathematical level was still far behind that of the official astronomical calendar sent by Chen Jian to Beijing.

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew whether there was one, and the two sides met several times, and they also knew their respective levels, which naturally caused panic in the Jesuits.

The astronomical calendar is their only chance to open the door, and Matteo Ricci will be able to tie the equation and not have an overall advantage. When it comes to calculating the calendar, the level of this group of people is not low, and the level of latitude measurement and the mathematical level of longitude based on the records of some astronomical records are also high.

What made Ricci even more unsettling was a rough map of the Ming Dynasty drawn by Chen Jian, at least the terrain of the coastal areas of the Shandong Peninsula and other terrain was quite standard. The dozen or so people who went to Beijing thought that Chen Jian had obtained it from others, and Matteo Ricci thought that the group had painted it himself, so there was an extremely embarrassing scene.

Embarrassment was followed by anger, and the group held a heliocentric view, and there was a rudimentary atheistic and pan-deistic view. This is a monster more terrible than heresy.

Among the Jesuit missionaries to China, Matteo Ricci was at the highest level of science at this time. And the dozen or so pioneers sent by Chen Jian to the capital were all selected by virtue of their own connections and prestige, from all walks of life, all of them are the best in a county, and a few of them are people who have been in contact with new things with Chen Jian for several years, and their level of thinking is not low.

There are a large number of these people, and they are even more calculating and unintentional, and they have pinched the opportunities of the national capital, the internal prison, and the comet, and it can be said that as soon as they came to the capital, they achieved a greater influence than Matteo Ricci's activities for many years.

Too much influence, not necessarily good or bad, in Matteo Ricci's view, these people can at least get the same opportunity as they did to meet the Wanli Emperor.

In fact, he was wrong, if this was a private act, maybe he really had the opportunity to meet him, and even served as an official of the Qin Heavenly Prison. However, this group of people is not a private person or a church, but a representative of a country, and the envoy is still far away from Fujian, and no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of direct audience.

When it comes to gifts, Matteo Ricci relied on some exquisite things to get the praise of the Wanli Emperor. But the group brought far more gifts than he carried, and they were not inferior in terms of exquisiteness......

It can be said that Matteo Ricci felt at this time that this was the biggest crisis he faced after coming to China. As a foreign religion, it is very difficult for Catholicism to gain a foothold, and this country has been extremely strict against religion since the Wudoumi and Yellow Turban Uprisings in the late Han Dynasty. has destroyed the Buddha and degraded the aisle, and the white lotus is still making trouble.

This group of people did not talk about religion, but only prayed for trade, relying on huge financial support and relief in Quanzhou, and according to the news sent by the Quanzhou prefect, this group of people knew very well about the advance and retreat, and the relief was also under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and there was nothing illegal. This point is that Matteo Ricci cannot be compared, and the biggest reliance on astronomy and mathematics cannot be compared, and the depth of the crisis can be foreseen.

…… It can be said that the uproar caused this time offended too many people, and although the momentum caused many shocks, it also laid the groundwork of being opposed.

But all these uncertainties finally became clear in mid-July.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor, the eunuch Xing Hong, came forward and invited these people in the capital to bring firearms and flintlock pistols to the sand table to teach the use of the exercises of the attendants.

At the same time, some of the gifts they carried also needed to be rehearsed in front of the internal officials, so that they could learn and present them to the emperor......
