Chapter 231 - Seeing the Way (2)

"Good! The well-being of all the people in my Qing Dynasty depends on you, Old Marfa, to pray for a lot of blessings under Our Lady! "Hongyi was overjoyed!

Since the crossing, Hongyi has always relied on a little knowledge of later generations to "frighten" John Tang, and to achieve the goal of winning over the old priest. But for the Chinese, Hongyi did not dare to act so wantonly. Why? Chinese people are different from Westerners, you use some "unpredictable prophets" all day long to scare your own people, at first it will have a miraculous effect, but after a long time, it is inevitable to be "deified", or it is difficult to escape the fate of being "demonized". If you can be "God" in a nation that doesn't have the same faith, why can't I? If you can say amazing things and achieve miraculous results, you can't avoid others from following suit, and then you will be the one who suffers the misfortune!

In addition to believing in God, John Tong and others, who are believers, are more often objective analyses based on empirical science. That is, you can make yourself a saint, or even an angel of God, without worrying that they will rise up and imitate them. But your singularity must be realistic, and it must withstand the rigorous analysis of the "scientific attitude", especially for the German old man John Tong, who is known for his rigor! To grasp this point, Hongyi has transitioned from a "linguistic genius" to history, medicine, philosophy, and political science...... Behind every word of "fright" is a great truth, and it convinces the missionaries!

To this day, John Tang no longer swore allegiance just because Xiao Xuanye was the "messenger of God" that he had long identified, but was impressed by his deep thinking and foresight! Thereupon. The "scare tactics" came to an end.

"Now above the court, my emperor Ama has the heart to conform to the times, and he also wants to give you people of insight a world to display their ambitions, but there are always people who will stick to their own one-third of an acre, and would rather hold on to the defects than keep pace with the times!"

Hongyi thought about how to proceed, and inadvertently made up a sentence of "modern Chinese", all of which were occupational diseases working in the agency, and they had become a mantra! Fortunately, this "keeping pace with the times" is indeed extraordinary. Not only can it be used for thousands of years. Even the Shunzhi Dynasty more than 300 years ago can immediately resonate with everyone!

"Keep up with the times! Lord Belle said it well! Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and Ding Revolution, it was clear that it was a bad government, which was advancing with the times! Lord Tang helped Kaisheng and others to fulfill your God's wishes. It's also keeping pace with the times! Above the court. If everyone abandons the distinction between Manchu and Han and Huayi. Make concerted efforts to open up the well-being of all the people in today's dynasty, and keep pace with the times! Ji Kaisheng couldn't suppress his excitement, and agreed with this new word he heard for the first time in his heart!

"Hmm. Keeping pace with the times, the old minister is deeply impressed! The so-called time is nothing more than God's expectation, that his people will be able to understand the main purpose of the Holy Religion. Tang Ruowang also echoed, full of unprecedented expectations, looking at Xiao Xuanye.

Oh? Test me? Do you want me to talk about the so-called "main purpose of the Holy Religion"? Well, as a civil servant in the 21st century, there are some basic common senses that I still need to master! Hongyi nodded slightly, which was counted as a response to Tang Ruowang, and then his topic continued:

"Well, if you want to talk about the people of the world keeping pace with the times, Xuan Ye thinks it is nothing more than the following points-" Response is response, Hongyi has no obligation to become a small priest to spread the purpose of your Catholicism, but by extension, some truths can be absorbed and borrowed.

"If we are born and enter the WTO, be content and grateful, share and take responsibility, obey and be free, ephemeral and eternal, study diligently, not afraid of setbacks, be tolerant and optimistic, be self-disciplined and self-reliant, and be full of ordinary hearts, dedication and gratitude, wouldn't the world be the same?" Hongyi said with a smile.

"Ahh Our Lady will bless you, my lord. Your wisdom and kindness will surely bring endless prosperity and prosperity to the Qing Dynasty! John, as a faithful servant of God and of you, will give everything to you and your cause! ”

Perhaps, this is the first time since graduating from the Academy of Rome that John Tang has heard such a concise and vivid Chinese version of the so-called "Nine Great Disciplines of the Cultists"[1]! Whether it is very accurate or not, at least it shows that Xuan Ye understands and believes in the Holy Religion! John Tang thought so.

"Let's pray together for the peace of the country and the prosperity of the people of China!" As he spoke, Hongyi waited for John Tong, who was kneeling on the ground and kept making a cross, to finish praying, and then he personally helped the old priest and asked him to sit down again.

"Brother Tianzhong, what you said is reasonable, you really need to take precautions. But you and I have to understand that the current situation is not yet the time of thunder, and we can only moisten things silently. Fortunately, there is still time, my emperor Ama ......"

Hongyi was originally going to say, "My emperor Ama is also in the prime of life", but suddenly more than 10,000 unclear palace dramas flashed in his mind, when the protagonist and supporting role as the prince said the same thing, it was either a conspiracy to usurp the throne or a tragic frame-up, anyway, the people who said this openly were all nonsense behind them, so he quickly closed his mouth and thought for a while before continuing:

"My Emperor Ama Shengming is resolute, and he must know this. As long as we push the boat down the river, it will be just adding fuel to the fire at best. ”

"What Lord Belle said is very true. It's just that the Hanchen are all cautious now, and they all rely on the snort of the Manchurian directors of various ministries, which is really wise to protect themselves. Ji Kaisheng said helplessly.

As soon as these words came out, Hongyi and Tang Ruowang both knew one thing clearly-last night's pre-imperial meeting, although Emperor Fulin repeatedly hinted that he should pay attention to "secrecy", but even Hanchen's submissive behavior at the meeting reached Ji Kaisheng's ears, what secret can be kept?

In his opinion, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, Chinese people are so willing to do everything possible to find out what they should know or should not know, and the more they should not know, the more willing they are to inquire about it clearly. No matter how much you don't care about your own business, if you know a little more than others and know a little bit earlier, you will be complacent. What's even more strange is that the more things you shouldn't know, they are often quickly used as after-dinner conversations, as capital to show off your abilities...... All of this was naturally seen by John Tong as an inevitable consequence of the failure of the gospel to be preached!

But in Hongyi's eyes, this situation is very distressing! The people as a whole lack the so-called "sense of secrecy", and not only do they not regard "leaking secrets" as a crime and shame, but regard them as a kind of skill! Especially when the emperor understands the request, it is still such a result, which is really annoying! So, a small plan was slowly drawn up in Hongyi's mind......

While thinking, Hongyi said:

"In that case, what good strategies does Brother Tianzhong have to teach me? How do we deal with it? You can't just watch the situation worsen, can you? Hongyi asked Ji Kaisheng a little absentmindedly - since you have opened the question, it is naturally up to you to give a charter! I'll make a draft first!

"Lord Belle, Kaisheng does have something to think about, but it needs the help of Lord Zhengtang, the Qintian Supervisor!"

Ji Kaisheng got what he wanted and began to strategize.

"A limerick poem. Hidden Head

Looking at recent history, I am disappointed

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

Outside the map, there is a lot of strength

It's hard to know what you're going to do

I got up and wore Rokkazi

Point out the world's pain and joy

China's brilliant ten thousand idiots

The Wenwu Dynasty saw through the dream
