Chapter 346: Where Did Jingping Go?
Xuanyangzi breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, spread his hands, and said, "Not yet, because I don't know where Jingping is." ”
Zhang Zhang was stunned, originally according to his thoughts, since Daoist Xuanyang Zi has received the letter, there will always be news of Jingping's whereabouts, right?
"How did you get this Channel Master?" Zhang Zhang asked with a puzzled look on his face
Xuanyangzi's brows also furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "It was Jingping who sent it to Zhenru through the Sun Moon Pavilion - uh, no, the Tuanshan Fort Intelligence Department." ”
Zhang Li hurriedly asked, "What about the person who sent the letter?" ”
Xuanyangzi smiled slightly and said, "Of course the true monk will ask, but he only knows a little bit about the situation." ”
After a pause, Xuanyangzi continued: "That letter is from ...... Sent from the Suzhou Branch of the Ministry of Intelligence, Jingping should have been in Suzhou Mansion before. ”
Next, Xuanyang Zidao Chang sent every detail of this letter to Zhenru Jushi to Zhang Li, and Zhang Zhang finally understood the whole story.
His daughter is now handed over to Zhenru to settle in Nanjing, but Jingping has left Suzhou.
In terms of time, Jingping only rested for more than a month after giving birth, and then left her daughter. Of course, if the layman is the grandmother of his daughter, it is reasonable to hand it over to her to raise, it is nothing more than a small problem such as inviting a nurse, which is not difficult to solve.
"What kind of thing made Jingping leave in such a hurry? Jingping Bingxue is smart, it's not a big deal, she will definitely not leave her daughter! ”
Obviously, Daoist Xuanyangzi didn't know the answer to this question either......
The two stared at each other for a long time. In the end, Zhang Zhang could only comfort himself: "Alas, Jingping is too assertive. Don't tell me anything. Is there anything I can't handle? ”
Xuanyang Zidao Chief pursed his lips and said, "Who said it wasn't?" Alas. Poor Dao, this daughter...... Like her mother, she has too much idea. ”
Suddenly, Daoist Xuanyangzi seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Li, Jingping once mentioned a person's name to Zhenru Jushi, saying that he was going to find him. ”
"Huh? - Zhang Zhang exclaimed, and hurriedly asked: "Dao Chief, why didn't you say it earlier?" Who is Jingping going to? ”
"I don't know either, it seems to be called John Tang......"
"John Tang!" Tension's eyes revealed a deep essence. It turned out to be him!
John Tong is quite famous in history, and should have belonged to the superior of his old friend Mr. Junkesh of Germany, that is, he was also a missionary.
Of course, "Germany" in this era should be called "Prussia". It's just that Zhang Li studied in Germany in later generations, so there is no need to correct the name. Anyway, whether it is "Germany" or "Prussia", no one in the Ming Dynasty knows where it is. At this time, the Ming Dynasty referred to Western Europeans as "Franco-machine people" or "Westerners", and did not distinguish between specific countries.
John Tong was after Matteo Ricci came to China. The most influential Catholic evangelist in China. This person's resume is very rich, and it is difficult to go into details. However, Zhang Li knows two things, one is that John Tang has an excellent relationship with Xu Guangqi, and the other is that John Tang is a scientific and technological all-rounder. He is especially good at casting cannons.
"Sister Jingping previously promised Xu Guangqi to help him spread the Catholic ......"
Zhang Li muttered to himself, and soon, he exclaimed, "Ah! I see! ”
There is a way to have a good heart, and there is a little understanding - Zhang Zhang suddenly thought of Jingping's sister's plan.
She tried to save herself. I had to agree to help my father spread Catholicism. However, there are many ways to do this, such as the simplest and most straightforward. Find someone to help her. As long as she strongly supports that person's mission, then there is no broken promise.
John Soup. Exactly such a person.
Needless to say, his loyalty to Catholicism was due to his lack of power and power, and his missionary work was difficult. If Jingping finds him and Jingping pays for him to support his mission, won't Jingping be able to get out of the way?
A faint smile appeared on Zhang Li's face......
Xuanyangzi was confused, and asked in a low voice, "Zhang Li, what did you think of?" ”
Zhang Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Dao is long and relieved, Jingping is fine, she is going to find a senior worker!" ”
The puzzled "fog" on Xuanyangzi's face turned into "haze": "Eldest son? What Grand Prince? Whose eldest son? Can't you...... Zhang Li, don't dirty my daughter's innocence! ”
Zhang Li's face was covered with black lines, and the "cute" Taoist was overwhelmed......
"Well, well, I was wrong - Jingping should be able to reunite with us soon, anyway, I'm confident!"
Xuanyang Zidao let out a sigh of relief, obviously since Zhang Li said that Jingping would be able to come back soon to reunite, then it must be. During this period of time, the temperament of the "leader" of tension has been fully revealed, and it is no longer the "Wuxia Ameng" in Penglai County and Nanjing City!
……
In the past few days, the capital has suddenly become noisy and lively, because the Wanshou Festival has arrived.
Hallowe, that is, the emperor's birthday. In ancient times, "Wanshou Festival" was comparable to the Spring Festival, because the emperor was a year older.
The splendid Daming Palace took the lead in sounding the first firecrackers, and then, the entire capital, and even the entire Great Tomorrow, the sound of firecrackers crackled together, one after another......
No matter what the situation in the world is, the emperor's birthday is always to be celebrated. On the day of Wanshou Day, except for some people who are really unable to survive and are starving and "waiting for death", as long as they can barely survive the people, they must always "celebrate" to show their loyalty to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty.
Even, this is a festival that is even more solemn than the Spring Festival, because this is not a festival, this is a political attitude. The people of Shengdou don't understand too advanced truths, but if they are disrespectful to the emperor, they will be beheaded all over the house.
In the Daming Imperial Palace, no matter how difficult the country's finances are, how depressed the people's economy is, and how miserable the people's lives are, the supply will never be reduced. Just for the sake of the "longevity celebration", the huge palace has mobilized a large number of manpower and material resources since more than a month ago, first repairing the parts of the palace that look a little damaged and outdated, and then completely painting and painting the entire Forbidden City. In this way, every place looks "brand new".
The emperor is a year older, so naturally he has to get rid of the old and make a new one......
A lot of money was spent on various utensils and decorations for the "Longevity Festival". The people in the palace, from the emperor, the queen, the imperial concubine to the princess and princess, have added all kinds of new clothes, new hats, new shoes, new socks and even new accessories, and even the palace maids and eunuchs who are slightly favored on weekdays have also been rewarded with new clothes.
In this way, the Daming Palace, which was built with people's fat and people's ointment, presented the illusion of "universal celebration" and "rejoicing...... (To be continued.) )
