Chapter 328: Accepted as an official slave

"Since you don't tell the truth, let's interrogate."

As Wang Xijue spoke, he looked at Chen Younian, the envoy of Guangdong: "Chen Lian, you are the person in charge of the punishment in this province, and ask them." ”

"Then drag it out, ask!"

Chen Younian shouted loudly.

"Please calm your anger!"

Luo Mingjian, who had changed into a Confucian robe in advance, shouted at this time, and then hurriedly bowed his hand to Wang Xijue and said:

"Pavilion Elder Rongyu, it is because some people in our council have decided to conquer your country by force, so they have brazenly decided to let Captain Jiani Ge kill Liu Bingxian first, and then take Xiangshan County before your country reacts."

Wang Xijue wrinkled his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, and then laughed dumbly, without showing anger on his face.

"Father Luo, are you so weak, are you worthy of our great emperor?!"

At this time, after listening to the interpreter translating Luo Mingjian's words, Jinlar asked Luo Mingjian out loud.

Luo Mingjian replied: "In order to better let the Oriental people understand our friendliness, I am willing to get along with them in a weak way. ”

Kinlar: "......"

"Thou art courteous."

Wang Xijue saw that Luo Mingjian was wearing a Confucian robe and saluted him, so he said a word, and then grabbed the key and asked: "What is the council?" ”

"We have set up a secret official office to manage the affairs of Haojing."

Luo Mingjian replied.

After hearing this, Wang Xijue furrowed his brows again, and glanced at Chen Younian, Wang Pan and other Ming Guangdong magistrates: "Why don't you report to the county government to know about the establishment of the council?" ”

"I don't know the Eastern system, so I only use my Western system to do it, which is not against the royal constitution in our West."

Luo Mingjian replied.

"But this is in the land of my Great Ming, and you should abide by the royal constitution of this dynasty here!"

"In addition, you have been renting in Haojing for decades, why don't you know our system, did you deliberately not learn and know because you didn't intend to abide by it, but only wanted to steal Haojing from the beginning?!"

"Although you are just a small state, you can't despise the Celestial Empire so much!"

Syllable!

Wang Xijue looked at Luo Mingjian with sharp eyes, and after saying that, he slapped the shocked wood and asked, "Recruit from the truth!" ”

Luo Mingjian is a China expert, he has contact with many great Ming scholars, and he has also seen the Ming Dynasty officials interrogating him, and he knows that it is a very serious situation for officials to shoot the shocking tangmu, so after seeing Wang Xijue's shocking tangmu, he hurriedly kowtowed to the ground:

"Hui Ge Lao, it's not that I despise it, it's that they despise it, and some priests and I are still willing to respect the Celestial Empire! Please Gé Elder Mingjian! ”

"You just have to tell the servant your true purpose, or none of you will survive!"

Wang Xijue said.

Luo Mingjian didn't want to be killed like this, so he had to say truthfully: "The purpose of their officials is to conquer your country, make the people of your country submit to our rule, and judge and execute your monarch." ”

When Luo Mingjian said this, the Ming Dynasty officials in the dynasty all changed color suddenly.

Xu Minshi, who came to see Wang Xijue on behalf of the Guangdong gentry, was even more sweaty on his forehead, and hurriedly said to Wang Xijue:

"Pavilion Elder Rongyu, the lower officials really don't know that they have such a big rebellious ambition, otherwise they will never intercede for them on behalf of the local eunuchs!"

Chen Younian even shot a few times directly at this time: "Kill!" All of them should be killed! ”

Chen Younian said and looked at Wang Xijue: "Pavilion Elder, since these Xiyi have bad intentions, we should ask the imperial court to implement a strict ban on the sea and clear all the Xiyi on the sea!" Since ancient times, the Han and the thieves have not stood apart, and those who want to destroy our Chinese people can not be appeased! ”

Wang Xijue glanced at Chen Younian.

"However, Father Fan and I don't advocate conquest, we just want to develop our own disciples as much as possible, just like your Buddhist path!"

"We are also willing to follow the customs of the country and obey your system, so we wear your Confucian robes, and we also take the initiative to worship your Confucius and respect your king!"

"For this reason, we have been in Haojing, like your Confucian monks and monks, opening a medical center, treating diseases and saving people, sometimes giving disaster relief porridge, helping the poor, and helping them drive away pirates, if the elder does not believe it, you can ask Xu Futai."

Luo Mingjian looked at Xu Minshi as he spoke.

Xu Minshi had to say to Wang Xijue: "Ge Lao, what he said is indeed the truth. ”

"Hmph, it's just a disguise!"

"If you really don't approve of the robberies of your fellow officials, why don't you report them to our government?"

"It's just trying to get us to let our guard down."

"In addition, people like you understand better that the Ming Dynasty was not destroyed by a few hundred of you, so you want to destroy my China in this kind of thief-like way."

Wang Xijue said coldly, and said: "The servant has checked the bottom of your crime against my Ming in the Hanlin Academy, and I can only say that you are the most terrible, more terrible than their direct use of bandits, which will make many of our stupid men and women believe your words and become your friends." ”

Luo Mingjian looked shocked, he found that the pavilion elder in front of him was really not easy to fool, so he had to bow more reverently: "Please ask the pavilion elder to spare his life!" We are willing to leave! Never enter Middle-earth. ”

Chen Younian said to Wang Xijue at this time: "Elder Ge, once these people have the ambition to devour China, they should all be killed!" ”

Wang Xijue glanced at Chen Younian again, then looked at Luo Mingjian and said: "It's all here, how can you leave easily, what I said about the orthodox imperial style and etiquette of the Heavenly Empire is like being afraid of foreign customs and lewdness!" ”

"Since you have come to the Celestial Empire, you should accept the indoctrination of the Celestial Empire and abandon barbarism."

"My Celestial Emperor is not a bandit custom, I only know killing; It's not that I'm complacent and don't dare to understand the customs of others; ”

"Servant sees that people like you are indeed different from your officials, and since they are carrying out their own expansion in a polite way, the servant thinks that the Celestial Empire should also use this way to resist your expansion, and see who can educate whom, or take advantage of their strengths, and give a new ceremony, so that the world is truly the same, and it is not impossible."

When Wang Xijue said this, Xu Minshi looked at Wang Xijue with admiration.

And Chen Younian also took the initiative to give up his hand and said: "It's still the old man who is smart!" ”

Wang Xijue only smiled slightly, and then continued: "So the servant will not kill you directly, but Your Majesty has made it clear that for you people, if you come to this dynasty to respect the etiquette, customs and legal system of this dynasty, you will not be punished by killing and other punishments, but only to be indoctrinated; And if you do not respect this dynasty, and you rebel against this dynasty and violate this dynasty, then the principal offender shall be punished, and the accomplice shall be punished according to whether he can be beneficial to the country, and then stay in the city to help the dynasty understand the foreign dynasty or help the ruling minister to understand the foreign affairs for the minister's counsellor. ”

"I know your language, I can translate the language of the Francophone for you, and I am willing to accept the palace punishment and become your slave."

】

Luo Mingjian hurriedly replied.

Wang Xijue pointed to the other Franco-Rang officials and missionaries: "What about them? ”

Luo Mingjian looked at these people, and then said, "They don't know anything!" They will only conquer and kill, and they should be killed. ”

"It's not like that! I'm Matteo Ricci, I know your language, and I'm also proficient in arithmetic, and I know how to make chiming bells, and I heard that your emperor collects chiming bells again, and I can be his slave and make craftsmen for him! ”

Matteo Ricci looked up and spoke.

Luo Mingjian looked disappointed, he forgot that Matteo Ricci could also understand Chinese.

"Then you two will be servants, deputy counselors, and the shipwrights and craftsmen will be punished by the palace as punishment for your conspiracy to destroy my China; The shipwrights and craftsmen remained in the city for the use of official slaves. ”

"As for the officials and Xiyi scribes who don't understand the language, they are all escorted to the capital to be beheaded!"

After Wang Xijue spoke, he handed the holy decree to Zhang Yuanxun and Zhang Yu: "The two generals will carry out this decree." ”

Zhang Yuanxun and Zhang Yu said yes.

So, these Xiyi were dragged down.

Carneiro was shocked by this, his previous communication with Wang Xijue had always been translated through an interpreter, so he didn't know much about Wang Xijue's disposition, so he hurriedly asked Luo Mingjian: "What do they do with us?" ”

Luo Mingjian informed Caneiro.

Carneiro cried out in horror: "No, you can't do this, I am a courtier of the great Holy Roman Emperor, you can't treat me with this kind of torture, you devils, our Emperor His Majesty will punish you in the same cruel way!" ”
