"Really, the older you get, the more unscrupulous you become. Isn't talking like this to the ...... of the palace "pull hatred!"

In the ZN Hai Yongshou Palace, Zhang Miaotong was preparing to go to bed, and was muttered by the grandmother beside her, and a face that was still maintained as thirty or forty Xu people showed a look of crying and laughing.

"You can't say that. Your Majesty is a respectful mother. Mama served Zhang Miaotong to sleep.

"Respect. There is only respect! "When she is old, although the emperor still spends the night in Yongshou Palace, he sleeps with her for at least seven or eight days a month, but staying overnight is not the same as fish and water, it is purely a chat under the quilt. Zhang Miaotong wants to say in her heart that it is false not to be lost, but her age is not forgiving, and she is old in the end.

As for what Liu Xian just said to Concubine Xi, it quickly reached her ears, and that was Zhang Miaotong's ability. For more than 20 years, no one has ever shaken her status in the back and palace, which is not guaranteed by Liu Xian's love alone. This also requires Zhang Miaotong's own skill and shrewdness. Concubine Xi is a newcomer who has just entered the palace for three or four years, and she has only been away from concubines for more than a year. The people around her, how could they get rid of the eyes of the queen who is in charge of the inner palace, but more than two or three people delivered news to Zhang Miaotong.

Liu Xian didn't know any of this. Even if he knew, he wouldn't mind. The queen didn't stretch out her hand to his children, nor did she use her hot hand to deal with the concubines in the inner palace, as long as these two points didn't touch Liu Xian's bottom line, he didn't care about other aspects. He even thinks that this is better, so that the concubine will be popularized and make some pickled things.

Don't think that Liu Xian's backyard has been quiet for decades, just think that these women in the inner palace are all good-natured. That's just because he was ruthlessly suppressed by Zhang Miaotong. Let them not feel the slightest possibility of shaking the status of the queen, so that all the ambitions in their hearts will be torn apart by the unparalleled coercion of the queen. This has been exchanged for decades of quiet, harmony and beauty.

Liu Xian never thought of changing this situation!

Wake up the next morning. Liu Xian had a morning exercise as usual, and then he gathered a group of old ministers and announced to them that he was going to tour the north, to go to Chengde to escape the summer, and then go to Inner Mongolia for a walk. His meritorious veteran back then, if he didn't have anything to send, he went back to pack his luggage and travel with him in a few days! Then a few more trivial orders were spoken.

Roy, who was canonized as Ziamber, came home after coming out of the palace. After a short break, I changed my outfit and went out in the car.

He has been out of the army for four or five years. is older, and the other is that the sons are all adults. His withdrawal will better enable his sons to develop in the long run, both politically and militarily. After all, he is a foreigner, even if he took refuge in Liu Xianam, he also has deep traces of the West in all aspects of his behavior, and he has always been treated differently in the army. And his four sons, all of whom have received Chinese education and living habits since childhood, have not only the obvious characteristics of a generation of mixed Eastern and Western blood. Speech, behavior, thinking, and thinking are all pure Chinese, and they can no longer be pure. They can be well integrated into China's political and military affairs. In order to prevent them from being 'looked at differently' because of their father, Roy quit the army early, and Roy was not disappointed at all.

Seriously. His four sons are more suitable to go to Yanzhao and North America than in China. It's just that Roy believes that China itself is the cornerstone of all new land occupations. Only when the Roy family takes root in their homeland will they truly integrate into China's upper class.

At this point. Binel made the same choice as him. Binel himself is a long-time follower of Liu Mingchuan, but his family. His own hometown has always been in Anhui.

The Church of the Savior in Xishiku, a Gothic building, is commonly known as the North Hall in Beijing. In contrast to the history of the spread of monotheism in China, this church is a historic missionary site that dates back to the 42nd year of the Kangxi reign (1703 AD). Because the two monotheistic priests Hong Ruo and Liu Ying cured Kangxi's illness, they were given a piece of land in the Silkworm Chikou generation in the imperial city of Xi'an Gate to build a church, which is the predecessor of today's Xishiku Savior Church.

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there was constant friction between the forces opposing monotheism and the monotheistic church, and the Qing government closed down the Silkworm Chikou Catholic Church in the seventh year of Daoguang (1827 AD) and confiscated all the religious property. It was not until after the Second Opium War that the Qing government returned the land of the church to the church, and in the third year of Tongzhi (1868 AD), Bishop Meng Zhensheng presided over the establishment of a tall Gothic building on the original site of the North Church. Due to the proximity of the Silkworm Pond Mouth to the Imperial Forbidden Land, the tall church bell tower caused the displeasure of the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Tongzhi Emperor, and after negotiations with the Holy See and the French government, the church agreed to move the church to Xishiku, and the Qing government funded the construction of a new church building. As a result, less than half of the church was built, and the Qing government was finished, so the church lasted until the 13th year of the new Qin, that is, in 1889, when it was officially completed.

And then soon, China completely tore its face with Britain, France, the United States, Russia and so on. In recent years, the spread of monotheism in China has been completely stopped, and the number of adherents has shrunk year after year. Even some churches can't afford to spend on their own.

Roy himself was a monotheist. The Church of the Savior in Sishiku is the place where he prays all year round. Naturally, Roy also became one of the few remaining influential forces in the Unitarian hierarchy in China today.

The tall spired church towers over Sishiku, and most of the people who come and go here are foreigners. With the arrival of the East-West Peace Treaty, many foreigners once again poured into Beijing, the political center of China. Monotheistic foreigners go to church to pray as part of their daily lives. Churches need a quiet environment, and the gods they worship need a solemn environment. It's a pity that none of this is something that Sishku can give.

There are too many Chinese. In recent years, Beijing's population has grown rapidly, and the urban population has exceeded the 4 million mark. Everywhere it was full of people. Even on the edge of the Forbidden City, there are small houses and alleys. In the former Qing Dynasty, Xishiku, which was relatively quiet, was also crowded.

The entire church was wrapped in the unsubdued noise around it, and many Westerners subconsciously frowned and shook their heads.

"I really don't understand why China has so many people? It's like a carnival every day. They are so indulgent, pursuing drinks and good food, that I don't know how many souls are soaked in pleasure and fall to hell. Lord, give them mercy! Lord, give Thy godly servants the strength to shelter thy servants who may lead these lost lambs into the bosom of our Lord and enjoy the glory of my Lord. ”

A priest held the cross in front of the church and muttered in a low voice. So much so that he didn't pay attention to a car approaching. But there were people in the church of Sishku who had a discerning eye, and a priest walked past him quickly, greeting the man who stepped out of the car with a respectful gesture and even a hint of humility. Roy, one of the strongest supporters of monotheism in China!

"Father Allah, go and ask Bishop Lu Xinping. I have come to convey the message of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"His Majesty's message?" Father Allah had an inexplicable look on his face. It's so unexpected, that god of war actually set his eyes on the small 'self' one day?!

"Please come in first." Allah immediately pulled over the stunned priest, yes, the priest who prayed to herd the flocks for the Lord, was stunned in Allah's eyes. "Go and ask the Bishop."

Roy fell to his knees in front of the cross and prayed silently. This is his instinct to live, and Poland, an ill-fated country, is a land with a deep religious flavor, with at least 95% of the population practicing monotheism. Before Roy took refuge in Liu Xian, he was just an ordinary member of it.

"Lord Count." With brown-red hair, blue-gray eyes, and a hooked nose, this bishop with a Chinese name, Lu Xinping, is a standard European, to be exact, a Frenchman.

"Bishop, His Majesty the Emperor has decided to bring the glory of the Lord under the administration of the Sect and the Religious Bureau. In the future, all religious acts in China and the appointment of priests and bishops must be filed with the religious and religious bureaus and approved by the religious and religious bureaus. Roy's face was as calm as a block of ice.

And Lu Xinping's expression at this time was like a porcelain full of cracks, which could collapse at any time. "Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." Lu Xinping's eyes were closed, and the temperament of his whole body changed suddenly, and the wordless stubbornness and the solemn expressions of several priests around him at the same time were like a tangible force, which made Roy's expression stagnate.

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. What is in the West is to the West, and what is in the East is to the East. ”

"It's really unacceptable, so let's go back to Italy. His Majesty's will is immutable. ”

Roy's expression became very relaxed, but his face was full of pity. This is a great opportunity for the development of China's monotheistic religion to lift the ban, and it is possible to seize the head of the Green Religion and become the third place after Buddhism and Taoism. But these priests and bishops really refused.

Roy really wanted to ask Lu Xinping, did you dedicate everything to God? Or consecrated to the Pope of Rome?

Don't think of Chinese believers as fragile, with the support of the Chinese government, Lu Xinping and others will leave Beijing on the front foot, and someone will enter Xishiku on the back foot, and before they embark on the ship back to Europe, there will be a new Chinese president who will declare that he agrees with all the religious laws of the country, and even severs all ties with the Vatican.

The Chinese are practical. There are very few devout believers among them, and even fewer fanatical believers, and the most of them are pan-believers. Even after the church gate, they can go into the temple in the blink of an eye to burn incense and worship the gods and Buddhas.

"I'm here to tell you a word. As for how to choose, it's up to you. You can contact the Vatican first. I just want you not to forget - Catholic and Orthodox! "His Majesty the Emperor wants to take control of China's monotheism himself, establish a large diocese within China's sphere of influence, and even set up a pope himself to make an appearance.

This is not a whim of the emperor, but he has had such an idea for a long time, but he did not realize it before taking into account the reaction of the Western world! (To be continued......)
