Chengtian Mansion, Baicheng Academy, Duan Hongshi frowned, glanced at Yiming and Xu Lingti, one big and one small, and said with a hesitant face: "Let her not enter the royal family, go to Jiaozhi first?" Do you really think that the golden bell is a holy aunt, and you don't eat the fireworks of the world? ”

Xu Lingti said respectfully: "In Jiaozhi, our religion and the remnants of the European Roman Catholic Church are facing each other head-on, and the people's hearts and minds are better or worse, and success or failure is in this move. It is when I teach to break through, if Aunt Pan can personally go to Jiaozhi for a tour, I will be able to teach it to be successful. ”

Yi Ming said: "If you have the position of the imperial concubine, it will not be the same as going to Jiaozhi." So, Lao Duan, tell the fourth brother, let him delay for half a year, anyway, he has been waiting for so many years, for his big plan, bear with it? ”

Duan Hongshi crooked his mouth and said, "Half a year? Why don't you let her never marry for the rest of her life, and give you these gods a real holy aunt? Although Catholicism was single-handedly stirred up by you, you are just adding flesh, the emperor gave you bones, who gave you hearts? Pan Jin Ling! Without the kindness of Panjinling and the good deeds of Yingciyuan, can this religion stand? Can it spread all over Lingnan and even Jiangbei in just four or five years? If it's so important, why don't you just tie her up? ”

Yiming rolled his eyes, and Xu Lingti smiled bitterly: "Such an unkind thing is beyond our ...... to do."

Duan Hongshi slapped his unfinished "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty" and hummed: "So I said, you really think she is a goddess who came down to earth to make cattle and horses for the world!" ”

Then Duan Hongshi sighed, stroked his beard, and his gaze drifted: "You two god sticks plus her, you can pull up a sect out of thin air, like a prairie fire, and also trap her herself." The old man felt that if the emperor had listened to the old man in the past and accepted her as the main house early, he would not have let her suffer to this day. ”

Yi Ming and Xu Lingti glanced at each other: "Suffering? ”

Duan Hongshi said: "She is a miserable person, but she can still hold kindness in the realm of misfortune, and when she meets the emperor, she should sit back and enjoy the blessings with the retribution of life." But she avoided good fortune, and for the emperor to continue to break the old trend in this world, the old man always felt that he didn't know how much retribution was waiting to fall! The emperor went to Hunan in person, I'm afraid he also feels something, so don't toss anymore! Could it be that without her, your teaching would no longer be possible? ”

The two gods were silent, and after a while, Xu Lingti sighed and said: "It's not that it can't be done without her, but it's in Jiaozhi, some things of the Catholic Church are deeply in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to erase them." Their Lord has a miracle in the world, an atonement for the sins of the world, and a sanctification in the flesh. And our Catholicism is just a blood sacrifice, and the laws and regulations are clear, and in the end it is not as deep as the Catholic Church. ”

Duan Hongshi said angrily: "So you want to get a holy aunt to show her magical powers? Your Catholicism is only a shadow of my God's way and ghosts! If you really want to do that, you will part ways with my God! What is the difference between that set of fleshly sanctified things and the Northland White Lotus Red Sun Cult? You can do it too, before the emperor wields the knife, the old man will skin you first! ”

The two gods hurriedly distinguished that this was different, and in the middle of the discussion, the hustle and bustle of the academy suddenly rose, from small to large, and in a moment it was like a raging tide.

This Baicheng Academy has been built for four or five years, and it is quite large-scale, divided into schools on the fourth floor, fixed for four years, and enrolls students every year. This year, a group of people have been discharged from the hospital and are serving in the imperial court and various local departments. At present, there are no less than 3,000 teachers and students in the academy, and there are as many as 5,000 teachers and servants.

The three of them were at the height of the purest library building in the academy, and one person hurriedly went upstairs, pushed the door in, and said in a panic: "Out of ...... Something is wrong! ”

Yi Ming said: "Daoyin, take a breath, it's all over!" ”

The person who came was Daoyin, but he entered God from the Buddha, and his speech was a little circular, and he first said: "The emperor's decree is to go on a great expedition to the north!" ”

This news is a bit clueless, the three of them were surprised, not mentioning the Northern Expedition in three or five years, this is the emperor's established national policy, how can it be said that change will change?

Then Daoyin said: "The north captured the ...... of the aunt."

There was a chaotic sound, the teacup in Duan Hongshi's hand fell to the ground, Yiming tore off his long beard, and Xu Lingti jumped three feet high.

Out of the library building, Xue Xue greeted him, this guy has completed two secret tasks in Beijing and Jiaozhi in a row, and now he is back to teach at Baicheng Academy. Briefly explained the reason for the incident to Duan Hongshi and others, and heard that Li Shi sent the Northern Expedition order to the Privy Council, Duan Hongshi frowned slightly, nodded and said: "The emperor has not messed up the rules and ......regulations yet", Xu Lingfei said anxiously: "If something happens to Aunt Pan, who knows what the situation will be!?" ”

Yiming sighed: "What's wrong with Jiangshang?" ”

Baicheng Academy is adjacent to the Lianjiang River, and not far from the opposite bank is Xunhuan. Although the river transportation is busy on weekdays, it is not crowded. But now the sails on the river are like clouds, layer upon layer, stretching out to the east and west, and there is hardly much to see on the river, and God knows how many boats.

Xue Xue also said curiously: "The army is moving? No, the Longxiang army in the west will not move, and Yulin Tiger Ben should go straight to Beijiang, then this is ......"

Xu Lingti said excitedly: "It's my Catholic!" Quite a few boats have root rings hanging on them! ”

The so-called "root ring" is like the "root wall" in the Heavenly Temple, after the Catholic people hang the ancestral genealogy on the root wall, because the Heavenly Temple is a public sacrifice, many parishioners worship their ancestors together. The parishioners spontaneously wrote down their genealogies with pieces of paper, layered them into rings, and put them on their wrists, and each of them testified of their bloodline during the public sacrifice, so that the public and private were ready. Later, this form developed and became a symbol of the parishioners and even the Catholic Church. Looking at the top of the mast of many boats, there are cascading paper rings like centipede kites, indicating that the people on board are Catholics.

Yiming took a breath: "I'm afraid that there are tens of thousands of people?" Could it be that the entire Guangxi parishioners have moved? How fast are they coming to news? ”

Xue Xue said: "It has been ten days since the incident, if everyone in the church is passed on from one person to another, such as the relay of the post station, it will be known three or four days ago, the people of Guangxi are simple, and their hearts are hanging on the plate, and they are faster than other places." ”

Duan Hongshi suddenly said: "The old man remembers that when the chaos broke out in Guangzhou, Pan Jinling was invited into Guangzhou City, and the people of Xiguan dared to be angry and did not dare to speak until the monk Guangxiao Temple went to burn the heavenly temple to cause a big chaos. ”

"Last year, in Hengzhou, the Qing soldiers raided, Pan Jinling was building Yingci Temple and Heavenly Temple outside the city, and the people flocked to it, and 10,000 people gathered, and it was chaotic."

"Now...... The people of Guangxi alone have already formed a momentum of 10,000 people, and they are neat and tidy, and we are afraid that there will be more than 100,000 people going north! If it weren't for the fact that you've been grinding with me for the past few days, I would have suspected that you had pulled the parishioners up. ”

Duan Hongshi looked at Yi Ming, Xu Lingti, and Dao Yin, his eyes were heavy, confused, and even a little afraid. The three of them glanced at each other, then looked at the situation on the river, and thought about the situation of a country that Duan Hongshi said, and a fear also rose in their hearts. The church that they have created will burst out with such unimaginable power, whether this power can be controlled, and what impact it will have on this country and the future, they are at a loss in their hearts, and they will naturally feel afraid.

Daoyin muttered: "Aunt Pan, you must not have an accident......

Everyone subconsciously nodded, but they all fell into deep thought.

Duan Hongshi sighed leisurely, and his heart was not only Catholic, but also ordinary people. Aunt Pan has touched people's hearts so far, and Catholicism has attracted people's hearts, which is shocking. The industrial and commercial gentry are only one percent, and ninety percent are ordinary people. When the people's hearts are scattered, there is nothing to worry about, but gathering for a moment can shake the foundation of the current situation. A country does not tolerate two masters, and the things of ghosts and gods cannot take away the world, if you put aside human affection, put aside selfishness, and make a golden bell...... It's better to die.

Yi Ming said secretly, look at this movement, Aunt Pan is completely unholy and holy, if she comes back alive, she will really respond to Old Man Duan's words, this Catholicism has a living Holy Aunt, then it will become a White Lotus Cult. From this point of view, Aunt Pan can't live anymore. It's a sigh, Old Man Duan is right, she is really like a goddess who descended to earth and atoned for the sins of the world.

The first half of Xu Ling's fetal thought was similar to Yiming, but the second half turned in the other direction, which made him both excited and ashamed, and blamed himself again and again......

Xue Xue's thoughts habitually drifted to the court, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, living in the temple, I am afraid that many people are looking forward to Aunt Pan's best death, so that they can rise up, step on the shoulders of the people, and hold high the banner of the Northern Expedition, so as to seek its advantage.

Duan Hongshi seemed to have thought it all through, and he said in a deep voice: "You'd better go to the north quickly and persuade the people of the sect to be appeased." This situation must help the emperor firmly grasp it. No matter how things develop in the future, you, Catholics, had better not affect the decisions of today, otherwise the future of this Catholic Church will be unspeakable......"

Yi Ming, Xu Lingti and the others worshiped each other and hurried away.

Glancing at Xue Xue who was looking at the south, Duan Hongshi said: "The old man will go to the south to sit in the town, and you will go to the north on behalf of the old man." The matter of Panjinling is no longer a matter of one person and one religion, but the threshold of our country's change! Whether we can pass this hurdle or not, what we can do is to help him and be optimistic about the causes of all kinds of evil! Although Li Shi is not there, the cabinet meeting will still be held every ten years, and after all the decisions are made, it will be sent to Li Shi for evaluation. This ten-year meeting has passed, and today is an impromptu meeting, the main purpose of which is naturally the four edicts issued by Li Shi to the Privy Council.

"The firearms ban has added a gun license as an optional item for military service, leaving an interface for the subsequent military service reform."

There has been silence in the government hall, and Liu Xingchun changed the topic, but he was unsuccessful.

The silence was still there, and he finally couldn't help but say, "Ladies and gentlemen, are you thinking too much?" We are not former cabinet ministers, we ignore the practice, and only decide the affairs of the world with one mouth. On the basis of the government affairs at hand, on the basis of facts, it is just a matter of assessing whether the Northern Expedition of the official family is just! ”

Everyone coughed out a little unnaturally, and Liu Xingchun's words hit their hearts. It has been some time since the high position of the big family, and it has begun to have the bearing of judging the world. Naturally not frizzy. The Northern Expedition is related to the national fortune and is of great significance. Li Shi sent an edict to the Privy Council, and it contained the intention of letting them agree, rather than being arbitrary, which made them all feel that it was difficult to speak, and it was really pleasant to make up their minds. Only one knows.

Fan Jin and Xiao Sheng glanced at each other, and finally spoke first on behalf of the military. Fan Jindao: "As far as the Privy Council is concerned, I was thinking about the Northern Expedition, but the preparation was far from enough. The assembly of the army and the dispatch of materials have not yet been fully launched, and the decree of the official family has been put into practice on paper, and it will take two months to organize into a three-way army at the earliest, and the limit of the use of troops is still limited to Sichuan, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Jiangnan. ”

Xiao Sheng said: "Shi Shibi in the southeast is still in trouble, the Northern Expedition is not only a matter of the army, but also the navy. However, the navy had not yet been completely withdrawn from Cochin, and there were hidden dangers in the South Seas, making it difficult to fully respond to the Northern Expedition. ”

To sum up, the military believes that Li Shi's Northern Expedition order will only become a reality in the first half of next year.

Li Zhushou said: "Whether the military and the government have the strength of the Northern Expedition, this naturally has to summarize the facts and report to the officials." But what the officials want to know more is the attitude of all parties in the country towards the Northern Expedition. ”

Speaking of attitude, Fan Jin and Xiao Sheng frowned very tacitly. They have a deep tacit understanding with Li Xian, and they have long been clear about the established national policy, and now is by no means the time for the Northern Expedition. However, based on the nature of the warriors and the desire of their subordinates to fight, they were full of anticipation for the Northern Expedition. You know, the Anglo-Chinese army hasn't made much movement for more than a year. In the previous battle of Jiaozhi, nearly half of the army and navy were mobilized, but the result was only a live-fire exercise. Dig deeper, the treatment of martial artists has not been greatly improved for more than a year, and compared with the civilian official team that is in full swing, the sense of superiority in the past is gradually decreasing.

The two governors of the Privy Council are entangled, but the two Zhongcheng of Zhongshu Province are very resolute and cannot go on the Northern Expedition! Although there are some industries that want to expand their business all over China, they can't wait for the land of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to become a territory under their rule immediately. However, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry as a whole was resolutely opposed to the Northern Expedition, and they had just invested in the gold and silver sea in Jiaozhi, and the benefits had not yet been shown. went to collect the land of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who was left with the vacated opportunities?

It's not them! It was those wealthy merchants under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty before, especially the two Huai salt merchants, who rolled up and recruited the Jin merchants further north, and this country became their country. The two Huai salt merchants and the Jin merchants, plus other wealthy merchants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, their financial resources are definitely better than their current Yinghua merchants, and then the national government has to tilt towards them, why?

The faces of the two attendants in the province are a little unsightly, this is too straightforward, right? The Northern Expedition cannot be decided by industry and commerce! Judging by the will of the people, and whether the dynasty can really be right, the sooner the Northern Expedition is, the better. At least the restoration of Huguang, Sichuan, Jiangnan, and the land of the Southern Song Dynasty were reinstated, so that there was a meteorology. Besides, this dynasty prides itself on being the Zhengshuo of China, but it is always nested in the Lingnan Huguang area, how can he explain to the people under his rule?

Li Zhushou said quietly: "Today's newspaper is a little strange, the industry and commerce are against the Northern Expedition, the Confucian Party's "Righteousness" and "Righteous Path" are also against the Northern Expedition, and the "Yuexiu Times", "Shilin" and the newly rising "Xianyu" are strongly advocating the Northern Expedition ......."

Everyone was silent, this is indeed a new pattern. The Virtuous Party and the Confucian Party have the same roots, but there are major differences on this matter. What is the plan of the virtuous party? Naturally, the more soil you get, the more Confucian scholars there are, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, where Confucian scholars are like forests. Once Jiangnan is won, there will be a Jiangnan Party immediately, and a piece will be cut out in the court. And who will this Jiangnan Party turn to in the end? Of course, it's the virtuous party! Because the root of the virtuous party's thinking is the Donglin in the south of the Yangtze River!

The Xian Party always thinks about the hypocrisy, even if Li Shi is not a monarch's father, they will not stop their efforts to curb and even share the power of Li Shi. The Confucian Party wanted to put Li Shi back on the throne. Once the power of the Xian Party expanded, the Taoist Party on the industrial and commercial side must be controlled, and the Confucian Party must also be controlled, and the lesser of two evils will be used.

Xiao Sheng felt a special headache for this silent politics, and said casually: "Is it useful to have any attitude now?" Doesn't that depend on the situation in the north? ”

What's going on in the north? That is naturally whether Pan Jinling can come back safe and sound.

Xiao Sheng said this, the silence was even worse, and everyone said in their hearts, what kind of attitude is it now, of course it is useful, whoever wants to go on the Northern Expedition should pray in their hearts, Aunt Pan, please die for us.

In Xiguan, Guangzhou, Tian Wenjing looked at this small Heavenly Temple, and listened to the guide sent by the cloth merchant to serve that this is the most "oldest" Heavenly Temple, which has a history of six years, and can't help laughing.

He said casually: "As long as it is not a cult, I will worship all kinds of gods and Buddhas......

Mr. Wu beside him shook his head: "There are no gods and Buddhas in the Heavenly Temple, only the Heavenly Position." ”

Tian Wenjing didn't know much about Catholicism, so he paused for a moment and said with a slight annoyance: "Then this is a cult, can God sacrifice casually?" ”
