Borrow the day to change the day

"Don't Lord Hou know about the Nanjing teaching plan? Oh, Lord Hou hadn't come yet at that time."

At the beginning of Xu Guangqi's talk, he remembered that Zhong Jinwei only appeared in Daming last year, rising like a comet.Of course he didn't know what happened during the Wanli period.

So, he gave Zhong Jinwei a little detailed introduction to the situation at that time.

It turned out that the Holy See was dissatisfied with Matteo Ricci's way of preaching according to local conditions, and sent a group of people over again.

It was already six years after the death of Matteo Ricci when the group of people who came later arrived in Daming.

They changed Matteo Ricci's practice, resolutely rejected Confucianism, and strictly prohibited the people of the Ming Dynasty from offering sacrifices to heaven, ancestors, and Confucius.Therefore, it was opposed by Shen Guan, the minister of rites in Nanjing at that time, and he wrote to the court requesting that their sect be banned.

At that time, Xu Guangqi, out of the need to communicate with Western learning, played the Emperor Wanli to intercede for them.

However, because this method of preaching was not accepted by the mainstream society of Ming Dynasty at that time, it was opposed by more and more people, and was finally banned.

After many years, these missionaries slowly became active in Daming again because of the need of Western learning.On Xu Guangqi's recommendation, Tang Ruowang even joined Daming's Qin Tianjian to rework the calendar together.

Xu Guangqi introduced here, and said to Zhong Jinwei: "After the Nanjing teaching case, they have restrained a lot, but according to the observation of the subordinate officials, they are still brooding that their teachings cannot be spread as they are."

After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei clapped his hands together, made a "snap", and said happily: "It's over, there is a reason."

Xu Guangqi looked at Zhong Jinwei silently by the light of the torch, waiting for his next words.

"I'll go back tonight and write a memorial to bring this matter up again. Of course, I will explain the intention of doing this to the emperor in private." Zhong Jinwei said his thoughts.

"Master Hou, if you use this reason, I'm afraid there is no room for change. How can you make them a good guide?" Xu Guangqi frowned slightly and asked.

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he smiled and said: "It's easy. I would say that we Han people have used Confucianism to educate the world since ancient times. Worshiping heaven, ancestors, and Confucius are our Han traditions. Their teachings not only want to eradicate Han people. Tradition, and even making up some never-heard myths to fool the people of Daming, this is absolutely unacceptable. Unless I, Daming, have seen with my own eyes that their teachings are reasonable and can benefit the people, can they be allowed to preach. "

After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, seeing Xu Guangqi's thinking, he said a little louder: "If they don't like it, they can get out, and even Macau will be taken back. Without them, as long as we work hard, we can still create a set suitable for Daming. scientific system."

Zhong Jinwei's words infected Xu Guangqi with full confidence.

Thinking about Zhong Xinghou's various words and deeds, he nodded and said: "Master Hou is right, there are thousands of people in Daming, if you really don't believe it, there will be no one to do these things."

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll write the memorial tonight, and Master Xu just remember to cooperate." Zhong Jinwei told Xu Guangqi.

"For the sake of China, for the sake of Ming Dynasty, even if I use my life to fight, I will be happy." Xu Guangqi replied solemnly.

Yes, we Han people respect our ancestors, and whoever wants us to forget our ancestors, we will fight desperately.

Zhong Jinwei thought with a sigh, broke up with Xu Guangqi, and went back to their respective homes.

That night, he dictated, Archie wrote, and made some small comments, and a memorial was released.

The next day, Zhong Jinwei thought he had to talk to that Li Wei first, and then take him to see King Tang, so he went out early.

At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and they were basically businessmen who got up early to work and hurried on the street.

Zhong Jinwei and his party walked in the middle of the street, unimpeded, and walked relatively quickly.

Suddenly, a group of people surrounded the front door that said "Yuelai Inn", and they didn't know what happened.

Zhong Jinwei had his own business, and he didn't have time to care about the gossip among the common people at this time, so he still went his own way without thinking about it.

Slowly getting closer and closer to the crowd, although Zhong Jinwei didn't care about anything, a few words still reached his ears.

"... How about mortgage this volume of my travel notes first..." A deep and deep voice came out, allowing Zhong Jinwei to hear some of the words.

"..What is your identity..."

Zhong Jinwei didn't want to hear it, but he still heard some voices.It should be that the shopkeeper looked down on that person's travel notes and didn't want to be a mortgage.

At this time, Jinwei and his party had already passed the place closest to the crowd, and continued on their way to the Forbidden City.

"...My Xiake's travel notes are unique in the southeast, and everyone rushes to read them..."

Probably that person was questioned by the shopkeeper, so his voice was a little louder, but he could still hear that he spoke neither humble nor overbearing, and had strong confidence in himself.

Zhong Jinwei didn't react at first when he heard the words floating over him.After walking for a short distance, a name suddenly appeared in his mind, could it be him?

It seems that he is from the late Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be such a coincidence?Although Zhong Jinwei thought so, he still reined in the horse, pulled the rein slightly, turned around, and looked at the crowd.

Zhong Jinwei's guards had no choice but to stop when they saw him like this.Li Dingguo, who was accompanying him, asked, "Uncle, do you want to go over and see what happened?"

Zhong Jinwei glanced at him, and said jokingly: "Your gossip is not small."

Then he clamped the horse's belly and went to the door of the Yuelai Inn.

As soon as Gu Baichuan saw it, he immediately assigned a few guards to rush there first, and let the situation be under control.

The crowd who were still watching and booing just now immediately fell silent, and all retreated to the side, looking at the Dongchang soldiers with a little timidity, and then looked at a young man who was riding a horse with a little curiosity.They were all secretly guessing in their hearts what would happen next.

The several parties involved in the dispute immediately divided into two distinct sides, and turned to look at Zhong Jinwei who was riding over.

When Zhong Jinwei approached, they recognized him as the Marquis of the imperial court from their costumes, and quickly knelt down to greet him.

The shopkeeper glared at Xiao Er, who was kneeling beside him, and Xiao Er looked back helplessly. Then, as soon as Zhong Jinwei stopped, he complained first, "My lord, this guest officer doesn't pay the shop for staying here. I'm going to report to the police."

Zhong Jinwei had heard a few words before, and roughly knew what was going on.

But he doesn't care about this, this kind of trivial matter can be taken care of by a servant.

He looked at the guest officer who the waiter said would not pay the shop, and saw that he was about 40 years old. Although he was kneeling on the ground, his upper body was straight, and he looked up at him without fear.

Seeing Zhong Jinwei look at him at this time, he immediately explained: "Caomin stayed in this inn for three nights, but was stolen and entangled, and the deposit was not enough to pay. I have explained to the shopkeeper that I will take Caomin's travel notes as a mortgage, and I will pay back if I have money. It's not something grassroots would do."

Zhong Jinwei ignored this for now, and immediately looked down at the middle-aged man and said, "Your name is Xu Xiake?"
