Chapter 205: Catholics, Please Stay

Seeing that Guo Kang was obviously unhappy, Zhu Wenkui was more anxious than Jeanna's mother and daughter.

Guo Kang turned his head and was about to say goodbye to them, saying that he would escort Princess Ma and the others away first, and let Jieshika and other "palace officials" accompany Princess Jeanna to play for a while, and called Zhu Wenkui to go with him.

Zhu Wenkui looked at Jeanna's mother and daughter, and wanted them to apologize to Guo Kang. But Princess Jeanne didn't know whether she didn't react, or didn't want to accept it, so she never spoke.

"Guo Gongzi, please stay!" Zhu Wenkui hurriedly shouted.

When Guo Kang heard this, he hurriedly quickened his pace.

The Purple Horde had a famous joke. At the beginning, in order to publicize his achievements, Uncle Timur hired people to write a lot of works to tell about his deeds. Some Persians brought these literary works to the Purple Horde, and adapted them to produce many popular historical texts of the era.

In the text, Timur is an image of diligence and piety, and every day he devotes himself to calling on Catholics from all walks of life to go to holy war together. The parishioners often had their own reasons for not wanting to participate, so he earnestly persuaded everyone to participate.

In various story clips, there are often episodes where the parishioners do not listen to him and turn their horses away. At this time, Emperor Timur would shout "Catholics, please stay", and then go to persuade others.

However, no matter whether the holy war is lost or won, at the end of the story, it is basically the parishioners who suffer a big loss.

Because this kind of thing happened so many times, the royal literati hired by Emperor Timur's uncle couldn't tell if there was any connection here. After a long time, everyone regarded "Catholics please stay" as a fixed stalk, and joked about it every day. Others think that this is an unlucky remark, but it should be avoided as much as possible.

Seeing him running away directly, Zhu Wenkui looked left and right, hesitated for a moment, and decisively left his aunt and cheap sister, whose identity was uncertain, and chased after his brother Guo Kang.

On the side of the convoy, Guo Kang looked at Zhu Wenkui who was chasing after him, and was a little surprised: "Aren't you going to follow them over there?" ”

"Aunt Jeanne is a princess of a country and can protect herself. My sister will leave it there for a while, and nothing will go wrong. Zhu Wenkui explained: "I'm afraid that you and everyone will have some misunderstanding, so I came over and asked." ”

"Oh, don't worry." Guo Kang shook his head: "This is probably a matter of religious identity." This kind of thing can't be forced. ”

As she was talking, Princess Ma opened the car window and asked, "What happened?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that Aunt Jeanna and our religious views are a little different." Zhu Wenkui hurriedly walked over again and told his mother: "If we continue to talk, I'm afraid it will hurt the peace, so let's stop here, let's go home first." ”

He said it more vaguely, as if neither side wanted to offend. However, Princess Ma was obviously not stupid, and within a few words, she understood what he meant.

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

"Uh...... It's just some political affairs, current affairs, and so on. Zhu Wenkui said.

"Well, that's not good." Princess Ma glanced at Guo Kang, then quickly turned her head and said to Zhu Wenkui: "There are all relatives and friends here, how can they make trouble because of a trivial matter?" Go and persuade them to come back. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Wenkui hesitated: "On their side, I don't think it's a trivial matter." ”

"Then bring Youzhen back. Sister Jeanna, ask the others to follow her first, and when she is calm down and calmed down, we will go to appease her. Princess Ma pushed the boat down the river: "How can you bring children in if you quarrel?" ”

"That kid wasn't brought in. She still arches the fire......" Zhu Wenkui was a little unconvinced.

However, Princess Ma urged him to hurry up, and if they didn't agree, tell them that they had asked for it. Zhu Wenkui couldn't resist his mother, so he had to run errands again.

After a while, he really came back with little Jeanne.

"Come on, Youzhen, get in the car." Princess Ma greeted warmly: "I heard what your brother said. Hey, what's the matter? Everyone worships the Buddha in order to have peace of mind. In order to worship the Buddha and fight, isn't that putting the cart before the horse? The Buddha knows that if you quarrel, you will also be sad. ”

"No, mother, we're not talking about Buddha." Jeanne Jr. explained.

After fleeing from France, it was the princess who took care of her for a long time. Until now, it has even been longer than the time she has been with her biological mother, so she has always been called her mother directly. It is estimated that because of this, she is also willing to listen to Princess Ma's words and follow Zhu Wenkui over.

"Yes, they're talking about the worship of God in Europe." Zhu Wenkui also helped.

"Well, I've heard of that too. The faith of the people over there is so violent. Princess Ma shook her head and sighed: "If everyone is like Buddhism, pursuing purity, then it is estimated that this place will be much more peaceful." ”

"Buddhism isn't really good." Zhu Wenkui reminded: "Mother, don't forget, we have also met in Nanyang. The disciples of the Buddhist Sect over there are chasing the people of the Heavenly Sect every day. ”

"That's not a serious monk, and I don't see it anymore." Princess Ma decisively denied their formal Buddhist status:

"I also know that there are always unscrupulous disciples in Buddhism, and there are not necessarily many dirty things. But our world can't be perfect in the first place. In comparison, our regular monasteries are at least decent. ”

"That's also the government's forced management." Zhu Wenkui is very clear, and obviously cares a little about his mother's trust in Buddhism: "If it weren't for the government's intervention several times and forced rectification, Buddhism would only be more greedy than the church." ”

"According to what you say, it was a good thing to destroy the Buddha back then." Princess Ma smiled bitterly.

"It depends on what you think. If you look at it from the perspective of Buddhism as a whole, the imperial court will definitely be beneficial to Buddhism as a whole by demolishing illegal temples and dispersing monks. Monks are busy collecting money, how can they promote the Dharma? Zhu Wenkui obviously also thought about it: "It's like a tree, cutting off the branches and leaves that grow out of order, but it can make the whole tree grow better." ”

"What about Taoism?" Princess Ma questioned: "Why didn't you destroy the Dao?" Don't they need to be corrected and rectified? ”

"Taoism is much more serious." Zhu Wenkui was not ambiguous: "When dealing with Taoism, it is generally not called exterminating Taoism, but suppressing rebellion." ”

"When the government deals with Buddhism, it sends officials and officials to ban monasteries, arrest demon monks, and check ill-gotten gains; When the government dealt with Taoism, it sent officials and troops to fight with the Taoist rebels. This is beyond the scope of 'destroying the path', so there is no such word. ”

"You're getting better and better." Princess Ma couldn't refute and said with a smile.

Although her son directly contradicted herself and questioned her religion, she was still quite happy.

"Youzhen, get in the car." She didn't argue, she turned her head and beckoned, "Let's go home first." ”

When Jeanne got into the car, the convoy set off again. Guo Kang and Zhu Wenkui also mounted their horses and followed alongside. Princess Ma began to chatter again.

"You go to worship God, and my mother has never objected. Which Bodhisattva to worship and which Heavenly Venerable to worship depends on your own preferences, and there is no difference. But you should worship the righteous God, and do not worship the evil god by mistake. ”

"Huh?" Little Jeanne didn't seem to react, why did she say this: "I haven't worshiped any other gods." ”

"Your mother and daughter, for the sake of a week, you have an awkward relationship with Guo Gongzi, I know it." Princess Ma told her, "This is not good. Righteous God must educate believers and persuade them to do good. How can there be any reason to encourage everyone to have disputes? ”

"Mother doesn't read as many scriptures as you, but I also know that Brother Tian's Mouse Bodhisattva went down to earth in order to purify sentient beings and let everyone get rid of their innate suffering. He even sacrificed his own life to influence the Romans. In the end, the Roman Empire was finally persuaded to give rise to the current worship of God. ”

"Brother Bodhisattva rescues suffering, what is the picture? Is it for you to quarrel under his banner? She sighed and said, "So, when you want to worship, let Master Wang take you to the Niangniang Temple for a serious worship." Don't mess with those barbarians, they'll be bad for a long time. Got it? ”

Like an ordinary mother who earnestly educates her children and not to associate with bad people, she educates little Jeanne.

"But, that's not a barbarian, that's my biological mother." Jeanne explained helplessly.

It sounds strange, but it can't be helpedβ€”the Seris and the Romans were almost as stubborn when it came to insisting on distinguishing between barbarians.

Not to mention taking care of other people's feelings, they often don't even take care of their own feelings. Jeanne Jr. has heard many times that her ancestors are barbarians......

"That's a categorization, not about her." Princess Ma didn't care too much: "Those people believe in the religion, my mother can't stand it." All she had to do was not believe that. ”

"Which ones?" Little Jeanne blinked, still not understanding too much.

"Your brother told me." Princess Ma told her: "As far as the kind of religion that the Poles believe, it is said that it is also a religion of worship, but in fact, I don't know which demon tampered with the doctrine." It even said that people should sacrifice their own children. Even the bishop of Rome couldn't stand it, so he forced him to change it to a sheep. ”

"It seems to say that believers should sacrifice those closest to them as a sign of faithfulness." Zhu Wenkui helped her add.

"Oh, this is not human!" Princess Ma shook her head again and again, and scolded with the most serious words she could think of: "It's all like this when people get together, what kind of serious sect can it be?" I think what Wen Kui said is not unreasonable. Some sects are indebted to the imperial court. ”

Little Jeanne couldn't refute it, so she had to nod her head.

"Although the mother bears the name of this princess, she is just an ordinary woman, and she doesn't know what to say, scriptures and graves. I don't have much interest in political and military affairs that you like. ”

"But my mother knows, as a person, we must at least know good and evil." Princess Ma advised: "So, you must stay away from them." Don't look at them pitiful, feel sorry for them. Don't think that everyone worships a Buddha and speaks for them – these people are all bad! ”

"Got it, got it." Jeanne continued to nod obediently.
