Chapter 31: Bi Fangji's Visit
Xiao Mochou and the dog were beaten a lot during the day, and when they read and did arithmetic at night, it was a nightmare for the iron bull and the calf, but the different surnames and abilities of these people made Yang Bo have a more reasonable plan for the future.
Just when Yang Bo was fiddling with the mallet with his face, the shopkeeper rushed in in a panic, and fell twice on the road, and he didn't care about patting off the dust, but shouted at Yang Bo: "Young Master Yang, there is something outside... There's a Hongyi looking for."
Yang Bo was overjoyed when he heard this, turned to the shopkeeper and smiled: "It's just a Hongyi, it's also two mouths and one eye, could it be that he will eat you raw?" ”
The guy said stupidly: "The villain was originally shallow, but he was very scared when he saw Hongyi......
Yang Bo ignored him and walked towards the door, Zhang Gou'er and they were about to relax and be lazy, but they didn't want Yang Bo to suddenly turn around and stare back, and several people immediately put back their heads and chests.
"Haha, Father, long time no see" Yang Bo walked towards Bi Fangji, who was standing restlessly and was being probed into his brain by countless people
"I want to make fun of ...... when I know how to relax" Bi Fangji saw Yang Bo, his wrinkled face suddenly relaxed, "Say goodbye before, I am like a year!" No, I just received a piece of good news, and I ran to ......"
Yang Bo was surprised: "Oh? Good news, come, Father Father, please come inside and talk about it"
Bi Fangji nodded, waved his hand to the corner, and an ox cart stopped leisurely at the door of the inn.
"What is this?" Yang Bo couldn't care about maintaining a hypocritical smile anymore and ran over, lifted the oil curtain, and piled up volumes of books on it!
"Iron bull, calf! Come out and move the books for me" Yang Bo shouted at a few guys who were still standing in a military posture, "Be careful, don't break it, don't put it on the ground!" Put it on the bed."
Bi Fangji stroked his beard and observed on the side, although Yang Bo did not learn or know, but he still cherished books.
"This is the map that Zhixian wants" Bi Fangji took out a few pairs of rolled paper tubes from under the bottom and handed them over, Yang Bo just stood on the side of the ox cart and opened them one by one, looking greedily
"It turns out that the territory of the Ming Dynasty is so small?" Yang Boluo was slightly disappointed, although the territory of this era already had some outlines of roosters, but a large part of the rooster's head was dented, starting from Shanhaiguan, most of Liaodong was not under the control of the Ming Dynasty.
"This is the ...... of the world map," Bi Francis handed over another copy
Yang Bo frowned and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly tore up the world map without saying a word.
"Leisurely?" Bi Fangji was shocked, he didn't know why Yang Bo suddenly turned his face.
"The priest deceived me!" Yang Bo angrily threw away the shredded paper in his hand: "When did my Daming become the center of the world map?" Don't want such a map! ”
"Ahem......" Bi Fangji was embarrassed when he heard this, and snorted: "This, this leisure is not known, in order to cater to my concept that the Ming Dynasty is the Central Empire, Father Matteo Ricci changed the original appearance of the world map in the West, so that the Ming Dynasty is just located in the center of the map......"
"Hmph" Yang Bo was still angry: "You also know opportunism, it's just that you are deceived by others, and even I ...... lied."
Bi Fangji laughed and walked side by side with Yang Bo: "Isn't this what Brother Zhixian said?" Understanding the needs of others is the best way to develop believers."
Yang Bo thought about it and said, "I thought that the doctrine of the Christian church was extremely old-fashioned and unchangeable. ”
Bi Fangji smiled helplessly: "In order to cater to the customs of my Ming Dynasty, Father Matteo Ricci has also been blamed, but he has answered those criticisms with his own efforts and results, which is what we need to learn from him." ”
Yang Bo nodded, drove away the guy who had been standing there since the tea, picked up the cup and said to Bi Fangji, "Please, Father"
At the moment, the two of them didn't speak, they took a sip of tea, and Tie Niu and they hurriedly moved in all the books of the ox cart.
"If you have time today, why don't you tell me what kind of crime did those Confucian students use in the Nanjing Church to make the court make up your mind to expel all the missionaries?" Yang Bo asked suddenly
Bi Fangji took a deep look at Yang Bo, this person is calm? When he came to visit, he didn't ask him a word about his decision, and when he first came, he explained that he had good news to tell him, but he didn't even mention it until now, but asked about trivial things.
"Hmm" Bi Fangji collected his mood and slowly recalled: "In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, the leader was Shen Yu, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, who wrote three times to participate in the Catholic missionaries, and there were three main crimes, first, the missionaries gave gifts to buy people's hearts, had an affair with the White Lotus Sect, and plotted against them. Second, he helped the Ming Dynasty to revise the calendar and calculate the eclipse and lunar eclipse. Shen Guan believed that the missionaries used Western methods to govern the calendar, which violated Yao Shun's consistent practice and deliberately disrupted the Ming tradition. Third, the accusation of misinterpreting and destroying Confucian culture by missionaries is even more intolerable......"
Bi Fangji sighed, put down the cup and said: "Shen Guan did not react after writing to the imperial court, because the reason for writing the book was insufficient, the lack of evidence, and Xu Guangqi, who was known as the Three Pillars of the Holy Sect, vigorously defended it, and the emperor originally did not believe Shen Guan's nonsense, and the matter was over. However, Shen Guan repeatedly played and provoked Buddhists and people everywhere to teach. Under pressure, the imperial court had no choice but to order a "ban on religion" and the expulsion of missionaries. As a result, some of the missionaries were killed, and some were deported in prison, and the Nanjing case did bring certain losses and restrictions to the church......"
"I've heard that these aren't the main reasons?" Yang Bo interjected coldly: "It seems that there is a rule in Christian doctrine that believers are not allowed to worship their ancestors and ancestors? ”
Bi Fangji shouted as if he had been greatly wronged: "Framed, there is no such thing!" Since Father Matteo Ricci, we have studied and understood the funeral, marriage, faith, and culture of the Ming Dynasty, and we have praised morality and appreciated many things, such as honoring our parents, and we all think that this is the most important place for Christian priests to learn. For ancestors, although we do not advocate this form of worship, we pay more attention to the inner remembrance, in a different way, I don't know where Zhixian heard these nonsense? ”
Yang Bo smiled slightly, but did not explain.
Christianity is a monotheistic religion, which determines that it essentially excludes other religions and beliefs, and before experiencing the separation of church and state, this belief must be barbaric and dark
Seeing Bi Fangji's annoyed look, Yang Bo changed the subject: "I also heard that Father Matteo Ricci once publicly declared that in front of the Heavenly Father, both high and low are equal? The emperor was also equal to the commoners? ”
Bi Fangji was red-faced and muttered, he couldn't deny this matter at all.
After a while, Bi Fangji's eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up, and arched his hand towards Yang Bo: "I still hope that Brother Zhixian will teach me ......."
