Xiaolou is very quiet, except for the breathing sound of Zhu Gaochi and Jianwen, there is only the sound of paper turning, Jianwen's eyes don't seem to be very good, he is very close when he looks at the folds, and it is very difficult to see. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhu Gaochi knew that he had presbyopia, and since Tang Ming got out the telescope, the glasses were naturally made, but it was still impossible to verify how deep Jianwen's presbyopia was. If he wanted to get him a pair of glasses, he had to find a suitable one himself, and Zhu Gaochi kept the matter in mind.

Jianwen was silent for a long time before putting away the fold, and when he handed it back, there seemed to be some reluctance in his eyes. The nostalgic look didn't last long, and Jianwen soon returned to normal.

Raising his hand, he motioned for Zhu Gaochi to sit down on the chair next to him, and then he spoke: "The origin of this Illuminati Sect is indeed not in the Ming Dynasty, but from a place called Persia. As for where the old man is in Persia, I don't know, and when Persia first established the Illuminati Religion in the Ming Dynasty, it was also spread by some people like Western missionaries. ”

"If so, they must have been implicated in these Western missionaries?" Zhu Gaochi seemed to see hope, and his eyes lit up and he asked repeatedly.

In fact, this Western is not a single country, but our collective name for the whole West, so those Western missionaries are not all related. Unless you can find missionaries from Persia, you might be able to get some unexpected news from them. ”

Jianwen paused, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But don't get your hopes up, this Persian missionary to the Ming Dynasty has to start from the Tang Dynasty." After such a long time, the connection must have been severed, and now this Ming Bright Sect must be self-contained. ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't give up, he said coldly: "Whether you can find them out or not, this is the only clue at present, even if you can't find anything, but you will always gain something from understanding their past." ”

Jianwen smiled and said no more, everything he knew had already been said, and Zhu Gaochi would make up his mind what to do next. He didn't want to interfere and didn't have the right to interfere, now he just wanted to spend the rest of his days in peace.

After bidding farewell to Jianwen, Zhu Gaochi once again ordered someone to chase after Ji Gang and ordered him to find a missionary from Persia.

A few days later, Zhu Gaochi unexpectedly received a message from Ji Gang, saying that he had really found several missionaries from Persia in Yuegang. And on the way to Beijing, Zhu Gaochi, who couldn't wait, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, directly asked people to use a spaceship to pick up people.

The next morning, after the morning court, Zhu Gaochi met the Persian missionaries who had come from afar. Dressed in a wide black robe, with blue eyes and a hooked nose, he is indeed a typical Westerner.

The leader was an old man, and the remaining four were young people under twenty years old, and when Zhu Gaochi was looking at the Persians, the old man was also looking at him.

From the old man's eyes, Zhu Gaochi couldn't see a trace of fear, nor did he see any respect for himself. He was already dissatisfied with this, and said coldly: "You are missionaries from Persia? ”

There was no response, a trace of confusion flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he muttered a lot, but Zhu Gaochi didn't understand a word.

At this time, he realized that the language barrier was not understood, but it was difficult for him, after the last capital relocation ceremony, after the pilgrimage of a hundred countries, there were already many Western envoys still staying in the imperial city of Beiping.

Zhu Gaochi immediately ordered someone to bring someone who knew Persian, and soon after, a young Westerner came down under the guidance of the eunuch.

After saluting Zhu Gaochi, he chatted with the old man, and only after a long time did he hear him say to Zhu Gaochi: "Your Majesty, they are indeed from Persia, they are the former bishops of the Holy Fire Sect, and they came to Daming to find a branch lost here. ”

Zhu Gaochi suddenly became a little excited, and as he guessed, he immediately asked again, "Are you here to find the Bright Sect?" ”

The old man seemed to understand these three words, and nodded again and again and said, "Your Majesty, you also know about the Bright Sect." ”

The young Westerner acted as the translator for the two, and Zhu Gaochi laughed after hearing this: "That's very good! ”

Without saying a word, he immediately dismissed all the irrelevant people and said in a deep voice, "What is the connection between this Sect of Light and your Holy Fire Sect? ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "The Bright Sect came from our Holy Fire Sect, which was established by our fifth-generation sect leader from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, because the Persian state was in turmoil, the Holy Fire Cult came to the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of the sect leader, and continued the Holy Fire Cult here. ”

The Illuminati Sect is indeed the Holy Fire Sect from Persia, as the old man said, and he only discovered this secret when he was sorting out some ancient books in the sect. Therefore, in order to find the truth, he gave up the position of the sect leader and personally led people to Daming after hardships.

It's a pity that the old man has been coming to Daming for more than a year, but he has found nothing. I have heard a lot of legends about the Cult of Light. But those are just the deeds of Jianwen's pseudo-Illumination Sect, and there is no information at all that the old man needs.

"Have you found any clues about the Cult of Light now?" Zhu Gaochi said bluntly.

"Nope!" The old man was not at all.

It was indeed said by Jianwen, and after being busy these days, he could only learn about the origin of the Bright Sect, but he still didn't gain anything. Zhu Gaochi was a little disappointed at the moment, but he still ordered someone to settle the old man in the palace.

The joy in his heart finally came to naught, and Zhu Gaochi was so angry that he didn't care about the Bright Sect anymore. As Tang Ming said, what should come will always come, since you can't find them now, just wait for them to show up by themselves.

It's not worth it to make yourself nervous for the sake of a Bright Sect, and besides, this Bright Sect hasn't posed any threat to Da Ming now, and Zhu Gaochi doesn't need to worry too much about this matter.

With his hands behind his back and humming a little song he learned from Tang Ming, Zhu Gaochi went to the harem. Tang Ming recently gave birth to two more children, how could he be a dignified monarch who was still inferior to him in this matter, so Zhu Gaochi felt that it was necessary to work harder.

Once this let go of the matter, Zhu Gaochi felt bored again, and when he went to the harem, suddenly a little eunuch was holding a wooden box, saying that it was a gift from Tang Ming.

Zhu Gaochi directly asked people to carry it to the concubine, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a pair of mahjong, and no one knew what this thing was. It wasn't until he read the envelope that he understood that it was for fun. Anyway, there was nothing left and right, so Zhu Gaochi and the concubine studied it. (To be continued.) )
