In the face of Guo Kang's question, Monk Daoyan was a little difficult. He hesitated, saying he had to think about it.

Guo Kang didn't urge. Instead, Zhu Wenkui took the initiative to ask, "Then what can I do?" ”

"You'd better read more books." Guo Kang reluctantly told him: "At least take a look at the "Book of Songs", "Spring and Autumn" and so on, and in the future, you must use the allusions correctly." Otherwise, when facing foreigners, I am afraid that I will be the same as Jin Guo, and I can only watch others read "Blue Fly". ”

This is not a high requirement. Guo Kang was also urged by his stepmother and grandfather to study back then, and knew that the Four Books and the Five Classics themselves could only be regarded as introductory books. At that time, my grandfather also lamented that this place was far away from his homeland, and the literary style was thin. If you want to learn good things, you have to communicate with people from your hometown. King Wu's father and son are supposed to be taught by the Great Confucianism of Middle-earth, and they don't know how to learn like this......

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State presided over the alliance and wanted to arrest the leader of the Rong people at the conference, Juzhi, in order to show his prestige. However, Juzhi argued on the basis of reason, defended the accusations of the Jin State layer by layer, and finally quoted the poem "Blue Fly" as a reply. The Jin people couldn't refute it, and they couldn't answer with poems, so they had to apologize and let him go.

As the uncle of the surname Ji, the Jin State has not debated Xirong. Lu Guo didn't know if it was intentional, so he recorded this incident in detail. Until now, "Juzhi does not yield to Jin" is a famous story of the Spring and Autumn Period.

In this regard, Zhu Wenkui could only hurry down and said that he must study hard.

When it comes to this, basically everything that needs to be said has been said, and the rest of the things can only be thought of by their own family. Guo Kang felt that this discussion was enough at this point.

He was about to say, everyone have some dessert after dinner, and the banquet will be over. But at this time, little Jeanne suddenly spoke.

"It's actually not that hard." She looked around at everyone and said, "It's nothing more than my brother who is not used to the French environment, and if I go, there will be a problem of inheritance, right?" ”

Seeing that everyone did not speak, she continued: "In that case, why don't you just give it to my husband?" ”

"And who do you choose?" Zhu Wenkui asked.

"It's okay to go with the previous conditions." Jeanne Jr. listed: "We lack the starting base and the capital to start a business, so it is better for the husband to have a certain amount of power to provide us with sufficient support; We lack the approval of the church, so it is better for the husband to have a close relationship with the church and have a relevant background to facilitate the support of the church. We also need to ensure sufficient authority, so it is better for the husband to have a certain influence on many titles in France and Rome, so that he can directly take back all the power and titles, and prevent others from taking them to disgusting people. ”

"You see, in such a comparison, there is actually nothing worth studying, what should be done, obvious." She pointed out: "As long as Brother Kang and I get married, won't all the problems be solved directly?" ”

"What did you say?" Theodora, who was still drinking tea calmly just now, didn't react at once.

"Didn't Master Wang just say that the King of France also had the title of Rome before? Why don't we just go through the wedding and let the two Romes go together? Jeanne Jr. threw out her plan.

"Don't underestimate the impact of this. The appeal of Rome to the aristocracy of various countries cannot be described in a few words. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much money for a 'false name' back then. She told the still amazed crowd: "Many European countries are unwilling to recognize Rome, to put it bluntly, this Rome is uncontrollable and does not benefit themselves." If Rome had sided with them and offered them moral support, they would have immediately pounced on them to show their friendship. ”

"Together, we can also push for reconciliation between the churches on both sides, and even go further. In the future, it is also very promising to learn from the East and realize the integration of religion and state. I believe that such a union will not only benefit the two secular regimes, but will also give impetus to the civilization of the entire Mediterranean world. ”

"The words of reconciliation of the Church...... The Roman Catholic Church has never agreed. "Grand Lama Wang is obviously more concerned about this aspect, and said.

"It doesn't matter, if we take control of France, the Pope will soon agree." Jeanne didn't care.

"I've heard about church history before, and I've had previous church mergers. For example, the church merger promoted by Michael VIII was actually an abandonment of Orthodoxy and a complete conversion to Catholicism, so the Orthodox Church, which would suffer a heavy loss in status and power, would fully oppose it. Moreover, Byzantium at that time was not able to completely expel the Latin princes, and many Greeks who had been victims not long ago, and perhaps even relatives and friends were still being persecuted, naturally could not accept the return of Latin bishops. ”

On the Catholic side, the situation was also very unstable. He approached the Pope of Rome to talk, but the Pope himself was constrained and even kidnapped by the Italian princes. Even though he made concessions and negotiated terms for the then Pope to accept the agreement and confer him on his membership, it was not long before the new Pope, who was under the control of Naples, tore up the agreement again and excommunicated him. ”

"The Greek kings always thought it was a religious or diplomatic issue, but it wasn't." Jeanne Jr. shook her head: "The problem here is never a doctrinal issue, but a political – or even more important, military one. ”

"Your negotiations have gone well, but not back then." "When two of Michael VIII's envoys first went to see the Pope, the Italians seized one of them, skinned him and tortured him, and then filled in straw to show him," she said. The other man ran fast and survived. ”

"That's all in the thirteenth century, right? So they used this first, huh? Zhu Wenkui was surprised.

"Skinning is a common torture from Italy to Asia Minor." Guo Kang told him: "To be precise, basically all torture comes from this area. Orientals, don't compete with them for the first place......"

"Okay......" found that his grandfather failed to compete for the patent, and Zhu Wenkui had to scratch his head.

"You see, herein lies the problem, think about it, why did the Italians never torture your emissaries?" Jeanne took the opportunity to ask, "Is it because they have suddenly become merciful?" Or is your doctrine more acceptable to them than the teachings of the Greeks? ”

"Obviously not." Zhu Wenkui said.

"That's right. The reason is very simple, if someone does it, they will really be crucified by you. Jeanne Jr. said: "It is impossible to get others to accept negotiations through negotiations. This is true even if the church is already a relatively reasonable institution here. ”

"That's why I think our plan is the best way to bring the church together."
