Although the queen is a tablet, this matter is nonsense, but the emperor is married after all, the entire Changzhou City is once again immersed in a strong joy, the firecrackers are out of sale again, and Huangkeng has become a city that never sleeps. The lion dance in Foshan walks the streets and alleys, the gongs and drums are noisy, and all the wine shops and restaurants are congratulating the guests, and they are all night long.

Early in the morning, in the west area of Huangkeng, a steeple-roofed church stands tall, which is a newly built church of the Jesuits in Huangpu. Most of the people who came and went were foreigners, wrapped in the noise that was still not subdued around, and they all subconsciously frowned and shook their heads.

"I really don't understand what those people in the Creature are happy about, these two months are like a carnival every day. They are so indulgent, and I wonder how many souls are drenched in wine and food, and are falling into hell, Lord, give them mercy......"

"Father Alos, pray that your godly servants may be given the strength to lead these lost lambs to the bosom of our lord and to the highest glory of my lord."

The two priests held the cross at the door of the church and muttered in a low voice, and a carriage approached, although the body was unpretentious, but looking at the coachman's Zhou Zheng attire, the horses were strong and neat, and there were two knights in front of them, which immediately attracted the attention of the two priests.

"It's a nobleman's carriage ......"

One priest whispered, and the other noticed the dragon emblem on the roof of the carriage, and although he did not recognize the origin, it was natural to associate it with the inrest of nobility in accordance with Europa's custom.

After the carriage stopped, a young priest with brown hair and blue eyes dressed in a gray and black priest's robe came out of the carriage and let the two priests at the door pause, but they did not expect that sitting in the noble carriage was actually a colleague.

The priest walked towards the church, did not take two steps, remembered something, put the hat in his hand on his head, and walked with his head held high. Behind his hat were two hard wings, which swayed as he walked.

"Male, Gastilian!?"

Although his gaze was disturbed by the other party's swaying hat, the eldest of the two priests recognized this person.

"Father Fallin......

The other party also recognized the older man, and then his face turned straight and his arms were hugged.

"Today I am presenting an edict to the Church in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, and you call me...... Lang Shining. ”

Lang Shining saluted and thought to himself, we are all Jesuits, so there is no need to wear official uniforms. Jusépegastilian was a priest who remains only in the archives of the Jesuit cantonal branch. Now I am the inner court painting, and the six-product general of the Zhongshu Provincial General Affairs Hall, Lang Shining.

"An edict from the Emperor of the Creceous Kingdom? Could it be that there is a special envoy in Beijing? ”

The priest named Alos seemed to have been here for a short time, and even his companion, Father Falin, frowned.

"Father Alos, as a servant of my Lord, should carefully see the color of my Lord's flock wherever he goes. We are in Huangpu in Changzhou, and the palace of the emperor of the Southern Creceous Kingdom is thirty miles away! ，,

Father Falin reprimanded, and then smiled at Lang Shining: "Bishop Silber is still in Macao, and if you want to issue an edict, you have to go to Macao to find him." Gasti, you are also a member of the Society of Jesus, I heard the bishop say that this church can be built, and you have a contribution, but why has you not returned to the church for so long to preside over a mass? ”

Lang Shining subconsciously said: "Father Falin, don't question my belief in my lord, I'm just ......"

From Hengzhou to Changsha, the bloody rain, the Temple of Heaven ceremony, and even the enthronement of the main hall, including the emperor's wedding a few days ago, the scenes flashed in Lang Shining's mind, he was a painting, these scenes have been left on his canvas, and at the same time, they are also deeply in his mind, and the harmony and thoughts brought up have made him feel that he has a layer of separation from the devout God.

Lang Shining calmed down and said in a low and solemn voice: "I'm just following a great monarch and watching him create a whole new world step by step. ”

Father Falin smiled calmly, "I hope that this great monarch has created a world that will please my lord." ”

Lang Shining tried hard to open the corners of his mouth and answered, "All glory to my lord." ”

He said this, but in his heart he said that if my lord was the "Heaven" of what His Majesty the Emperor and his wise philosophers said, it would be true. But on weekdays, it sounds like "heaven" is bigger than my lord...... puncturing this bubble of thought that is close to heresy, Lang Shining rushed into the air this time, and wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by a shout.

"Lord Lang! Oh, Lord Lang, it's been so hard to wait for you! ”

As soon as the man in ragged clothes and scumbags rushed over, the knight guarding Lang Shining turned his horse's head and was about to stop the man.

"I'm Ollewang! We met here two years ago, and the church had not yet been built! ”

Lang Shining hurriedly stopped the knight, and this Olewang, who looked like a flower child, finally escaped the plague of the horse's hooves.

"You were indeed the Governor's envoy before, but now you ......"

Looking at this guy's embarrassed appearance, Lang Shining didn't believe that this person was still the governor's envoy.

"I'm ...... now, it's true! Heck, the Governor is no better than me now, and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to speak to His Majesty the Emperor! I stand guard here in the church every day, just to see you, Lord Lang............"

Ou Liwang shouted with snot and tears, which made Lang Shining feel sorry in his heart, but he still didn't understand, how could the special envoy of the Governor of Macao fall to such a desolate state?

"Here's the thing......"

Finding a tavern near the church, Ollewanger vomited bitterly.

"We Macao people ......, it's so miserable......"

His account opens with such a voice of sorrow

Two years ago, Guangdong became in turmoil, and now His Majesty the Emperor, who occupies most of the southern and central cephalic countries, rose up at that time, claiming to be the "King of Heaven" and just the anti-thief Li Xi. At that time, Macau had a lot of travel with Li Shi, including crew members and craftsmen.

Because Li Shi controlled the whole of Guangdong, and Macao was in the hinterland of Guangdong, the Macao people and the governor were unwilling to directly offend Li Shi, so they sent Ou Liwang as a special envoy to discuss the status of Macao. On the one hand, he also put on a deferential posture, and did not put on a strong posture of resistance to the establishment of customs and the inclusion of Macao's trade in the scope of management.

However, Ou Liwang never saw Li Xi only have a brief discussion with a princess through the curtain, and the other party seemed to be only satisfied with knowing whether the people of Macao had the courage to directly fight Li Xi and was unwilling to discuss further status issues.

As a result, Ma Yu, the governor of Macau, was furious, and at the same time he believed that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was the lord of the ceceous kingdom, and many rebels had been stopped by His Majesty the great emperor before, and Li Xi was just a new addition to the list, so he decided that Macau would no longer go with Li Xi. Under his suggestion, the people of Macao withdrew from Li Shi's various undertakings, and it is said that they also caused a lot of damage to Li Shi.

However, the development of the situation deviated more and more from the expectations of the governor and most of the people of Macao, and the Great Qing State and Li Xi were defeated in several battles, and even the great emperor of the Great Qing State returned with a large army in vain, and I heard that he was wounded by Li Xi himself.

Then Li Xi ascended the throne as the emperor and sat on the southern and central chalk kingdoms, while the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom in the north died of injuries and fell, although the new monarch came to power, the country was on the verge of civil strife.

During this period, except for the inclusion of trade in customs management, Li Shi has always followed the policy of Qing Guo and has done little to deal with Macao.

But with Li Shi becoming emperor, everything changed.

Lang Shining asked, "What has become?" ”

Ou Liwang grabbed Lang Shining's collar: "Lord Lang, if you don't help spread the word so that I can see His Majesty the Emperor, we Macao people will be finished!" ”

Covering Ou Liwang's spit and tears with his hands, Lang Shining thought to himself, this guy's performance skills are really old, no wonder the Governor of Macao has always appointed him as a special envoy.

Lang Shining mistakenly blamed Ou Liwang, hundreds of miles away, on the south side of the heavy wooden cabinet of the Lotus Path leading to Xiangshan in Macau, crowded with thousands of Macanese Portuguese. These people were all covered with dirt and withered, and many people patted the wooden fence and shouted to the sky, but the wooden fence was like a mountain, and there was no movement.

Behind the wooden fence, and even on the mountain roads on both sides of the wooden fence, thousands of blue-clothed guards stood with guns, looking at these Portuguese with wariness, and Zhou Ning, the Guangdong health envoy of the Privy Council, was confronting another special envoy of the Portuguese governor of Macao.

"According to the old practice of the Ming and Qing dynasties, we have paid the taxes and taxes of the Portuguese in the mirror, and the affairs are taken care of by ourselves, and every document has been archived, and you cannot violate the agreement!" ，

The envoy was also a priest, and he was yelling at Zhou Ning with a red face and a thick neck.

"Now it's just a matter of sealing the sluice gates, banning grain and rice, before three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, before you get an official reply from your governor, all the Portuguese in the Tao Jing will be listed as thieves who occupy my British territory, and then I won't be here to talk to you......", Zhou Ning lazily pointed to the sea in the distance, where the sail shadow was longing, it was actually a fleet.

"Then it's my British Navy, they don't know how to negotiate, they only talk with guns. Dozens of gunboats, tens of thousands of soldiers, you Macao people, everyone can get a full share. ”

Indignant at the threat of the blue-clad general, the priest trembled and scraped a cross on his chest: "Lord, forgive these sinners, they are not the ones who want to slaughter women and children, they are not the ones who want to take away the land in which we were born to live......

Zhou Ning smiled angrily, this logic was heard in his ears, and the temper that had been raised suddenly churned.

He didn't know how the court decided, but he only knew that the court wanted to bring Macao into the governance of Xiangshan County, and no longer treat it as a foreign place. The Macao District was set up in Xiangshan County, which was governed by reference to the townships and districts under other counties.

The Governor of Macau, Ma Yu, refused, and it is said that he was very arrogant when he refused, as if he had heard some incredible joke.

So he Zhou Ning came, brought two battalions of guards, and at the same time cut off the grain and rice of Macao's waterways. Today was the seventh day, and he felt that the heat was almost over, so he personally came forward to meet with the special envoy sent by the Governor of Macao.

The Portuguese of Macao have lived in this place for more than 100 years, although the place belongs to China, but the affairs have always been Portuguese autonomy, as long as they pay taxes and obey the British and Chinese, why bother.

But now listening to the priest's words, and then looking at the Portuguese who attacked the wooden fence, with a look of "righteousness" defending their homeland, Zhou Ning was angry, he couldn't distinguish the source of his anger, he was still a member of the court, and he didn't bother to argue with this foreigner, so he wanted to wave his hand and let go of this self-righteous guy.

As soon as his hand was raised, he was stopped by a young man in sackcloth beside him, who closed his eyes with his palms together, as if he was also praying, and then opened his eyes and looked at the priest with a calm face: "My lord said, your lord is also like the Portuguese of Macao, temporarily living in China, where does he come from to condemn my lord's people?" ”

The priest froze, and his mind turned, "Your Lord, my Lord......"

Seeing that this Mai man had a calm temperament, and there was an extraordinary aura floating between his eyebrows, the priest stammered and asked, "Pavilion...... Your Excellency is ......"

The young man stroked his chest, unfolded a fresh smile like a lotus flower, and said, "Below is the Catholic chief priest Xu Lingti...... May the Lord give you peace and erase your desire to win, and seek happiness for the tens of thousands of Portuguese people in Macau. ”

His smile continued to bloom into a smile: "Happiness under my lord's care." "(To be continued) Old Phantom Feather is also here
