"Wait, priest, you're from the Holy See?" Ye Guan didn't dare to leave the Xuanwu Gate too far, so he had to shout loudly in the back, hoping that the frightened missionaries would hear.

"Oh yes, God, how do you know? Is it a messenger sent by the Lord? When the priests heard the words "Holy See," they immediately slowed down their departure, and then looked at the "government official" and "Forbidden Palace Guard" in front of them with enthusiastic eyes.

"Please come to the side for a while, and I'll talk to you when I'm done on duty." Ye Guan couldn't talk to these Yi people in public, so he asked them to wait by the root of the wall. These missionaries are not those missionaries who came with the cannon ships in the Qing Dynasty, not only are they mild-tempered, but they are only here to preach, and when they heard that they were asked to wait for a while, they all obediently stood at the base of the wall and gathered together to talk about something. Because in this era, Western countries are competing for colonies in Africa and the newly discovered colonies in North and South America and colonies in India and Southeast Asia.

"Ye Guan, what are you doing here? Why did you call back the Yi people who had been driven away? We have the opposite opinion, and we provoke people from other factions to laugh at our Mu Shuai's subordinates for not being single-minded. The businessman was a little dissatisfied with Ye Guan's retention of those Yi people, these Yi people were driven away by him, and now they were kept by Ye Guan again, and he felt that his face was a little unbearable, and he also complained a little about Ye Guan.

"Brother Shang, I'm doing this for your good. I have read some ancient books, their words and deeds and clothing seem to be related to the Tang Dynasty and the Mengyuan period of Jingjiao, maybe it is possible that the envoys of the Yi people have paid tribute to His Majesty the Son of Heaven for nearly a thousand years, this is true, it is a big thing, it was discovered by our Jinyi Wei, and it is also a great increase in the prestige of Mu Shuai, you and I are good! It would be a great sin if someone else found out that we had driven out the envoys! Ye Guan couldn't say that he knew they were here to preach, and these people weren't interested. can only fool the businessmen and say that these people may be the Jingjiao people who came to pay tribute in the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, cut off the thousand-year-old tributary country and send envoys to the court again, naturally there will be people who are thinking about their identity, and now the government and the opposition are praising this is the Lang Lang Shengshi of "Hongzhi Zhongxing", and there are foreign envoys to pay tribute.

"Ah, really? So let's go and ask later? As soon as the merchant heard that it might be a tributary mission, he was immediately afraid in his heart, and he was also a little grateful to Ye Guan, driving away the envoy must be a big crime, and introducing foreign envoys to the Pedestrian Department or the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites will also be a credit in the future.

"Don't be, I'm not sure if they're tributary missions, I've only seen them in ancient books. If not, if someone knows about it, not only will we be a big fool, but the crime of fornicating with others will be confirmed. Why don't I lead them to the temple somewhere, and talk to them a little first, just say that it is to investigate these Yi people, and that will not be true. Ye Guan didn't want the merchant to follow, so he couldn't ask some words, so he had to find an excuse to support the merchant.

"Your Excellency, how did you know about the Holy See? Are you the Lamb of the Lord? In a small temple, the priest, who had always had doubts in his heart, finally asked.

"Hehe, "Matthew", "Old and New Testament", this official has read a little bit." Ye Guan actually doesn't know much about Christianity, only that Christianity emphasizes that God has a Triune Godhead, and Catholicism values the Virgin Mary, and there is Moses in it, there is Holy Supper, and the wine is the blood of Jesus Christ. The others didn't understand it at all, and only in order to get closer to these missionaries, they said that they had seen a little bit.

"O God, the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for I give you great tidings of great joy for all nations. For today in the city of David was born to you a Savior, the Lord Christ. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Those priests were so excited that they kept quoting famous verses from the Bible, and some of them even looked at Ye Guan with tears in their eyes.

They came from the Franc in a sailboat to spread the gospel of the Lord. But when they came to China after the colony of India, they found that the people here did not want to follow their religion and be baptized. Some people asked them curiously, but as soon as they heard that they couldn't respect the Heavenly Ancestor, they immediately lost their minds.

They heard that His Majesty the Emperor of this huge country was far away in the city of Beijing, so they traveled all the way from Fujian to Beijing in the hope of being received and allowed to establish a church mission in China. Along the way, thanks to the charity of some kind people, they did not starve to death on the way. But no matter how much they wear their mouths, no one wants to believe in the Lord. Later, after taking it in the capital for more than half a month, only a kind person instructed me to go to Xuanwu Gate to show your things to those nobles, maybe things will be easier. In this way, they found the Xuanwu Gate, but the colors they used and the clothes they wore were taboo, black clothes covered with white cloth, and they didn't know how to put some dots on the guards of the city gate, and no one would let them in. If it weren't for Ye Guan, maybe this group of missionaries would have disappeared into the long river of history and would no longer be known, maybe they would have disappeared with the future of the Ming Dynasty and the Han people.

Ye Guan talked with these priests for a while, and Ye Guan revealed intentionally or unintentionally that he had been appreciated by His Majesty the Great Emperor, and had rewarded the flying fish suit that only the nobles above the second rank could wear, that is, the nobles above the marquis, and was about to become the guard of the inner palace. Lord Marquis, that's a real nobleman, and a marquis of such a big empire, almost equal to the Grand Duke of Europe!

"Father Didas, I have an opinion that may help you meet His Majesty the Great Emperor of our country." Ye Guan already knew from their mouths that this priest was called Didas, so he thought about it for a while and had some thoughts in his heart.

"Honorable nobleman Lord Ye, please let me spread the gospel of the Lord in this highly civilized country." Didas is not a stupid person, so he complimented Ye Guan.

"Can you answer me some questions so I can decide how to introduce you?" Ye Guan didn't know what Europe was going to look like, so he decided to get some news from these missionaries.

"Oh, yes, honorable nobleman, this is the right thing to do, you ask." After Father Didas drew a cross, he secretly rejoiced that the lord of the government must have had a sense of respect for the Lord. If I had baptized him as a congregation, it would have been easier to establish a church and develop a congregation in China in the future. If I had succeeded in baptizing a nobleman equivalent to the Grand Duke of Europe into a believer in the Lord, I might have been canonized as a saint by His Excellency the Pope in later generations, or even canonized as a cardinal bishop by His Majesty Alexander VI! I was even more excited.

"What happened to the war between the Ottoman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire?" Ye Guan asked.

"His Majesty Constantine XI has long since died in battle and returned to the arms of the Lord. The pagan state of Ottoman had taken over the Holy Roman Empire, and Mehmed II had the audacity to claim that he would soon be the rightful successor to the Byzantine Empire. God, such a pagan could be the successor to the Holy Roman state, and the glory of the Lord would not be able to leave the territory of the Roman Empire in the future! The purple-clothed nobles (PS: the Byzantine aristocracy and royalty loved purple, so those who could wear purple were nobles or royalty) and a large number of scholars and followers of the Lord fled from the rule of the evil empire and came to Florence and other vast holy lands under the jurisdiction of the Holy See to protect them from the persecution of paganism. His Holiness also wanted to unite the city-states and empires of Europe to carry out another crusade to drive the hateful Greenists out of the Iberian Peninsula and restore the holy Byzantine Empire. Diddash said.

"The Renaissance is about to enter **!" Ye Guan heard Didas say this, and knew that one of the greatest cultural revolutions in Europe was about to begin, precisely because the Roman Empire was conquered, and a large number of scholars moved around Europe, bringing a large number of books and knowledge to those countries. And more importantly - the human heart! The occupation of the Roman Empire successfully triggered the distrust of Christianity among the aristocracy and scholars, although only a little, but with the passage of time, those distrusts will turn into doubts, will become the driving force for cultural progress, and will attract more people to participate in cultural progress and innovation, just like the new cultural movement from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China! However, he disagreed with what Didas said about the holy land and the wicked heretics. Many of the Latin books of the Renaissance have long since been lost, and the self-proclaimed holy Christians have been translated back from Islamic librarians through Islamic texts. As early as the dark Middle Ages in Europe, the Arabs began the famous Centennial Translation Campaign, in which they translated all the books into Arabic in the areas they occupied, and the Sultan generously rewarded the scholars with the same weight of gold as their translations. In the past two hundred years, they have translated most of the Latin books, including history, science and technology, medicine, astronomy and geography, etc., but the Vatican at that time carried out as much as possible the campaign of fooling the people, exterminating all progressive books, and burning at the stake and the Inquisition. But then it was the turn of the Arabs to decline, but the Europeans came out of ignorance, Ye Guan was jealous of the good luck of the Europeans, and they all implemented the policy of fooling the people, why did the Europeans run so fast!

"What happened to Grand Duke Ivan's Grand Duchy of Moscow?" Ye Guan is very concerned about this country of two-headed eagles.

"That damn Orthodox Christian married Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia, the purple-clothed princess, and called himself the third Roman Empire, and it is ridiculous that the barbaric and backward Rus' states would dare to call themselves the Roman Empire." Didas was dissatisfied with the marriage of Princess Sophia, a well-blooded and innocent Roman royal family, to the timid and rude Grand Duke of Moscow.

………………

Ye Guan roughly knew the main state of European countries through Didas, thought about it for a while, stared at Didas and said, "Do you have a letter written by His Excellency the Pope to His Majesty the Emperor of our country?" ”

"No, I'm just a little priest by the Father's side, and I haven't seen the Pope, let alone the letters." Didas said with some embarrassment, his status was low, and he felt that he was a little bottomless when he met His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Didn't you? This can be had! Ye looked at Father Didas and suddenly thought of a solution in his heart.
