Chapter 498

Chapter 266 (2)
Shujia is not against the missionaries. In the current environment, what a traveler should think about is to spread western learning to the east and open the eyes of this increasingly closed country to see the world.With Dai Zi making muskets, it naturally aroused some thoughts in her.

It is a good thing to promote exchanges between the East and the West and liberate the minds of the Chinese people.

The missionary and the monk are also men, Shujia wants to call a strange man into and out of the palace, so she still greets Yinfeng.Dong E's explanation is a very good reason. The Yeluzi who are called from outside are not too restrained, and maybe there will be a flash of inspiration.

After seeing the portrait that Forchendai transferred in, Yinreng felt that his level was not bad, and the painting was of a semi-old man like Su Nu.This guy was holding a wishful handle leisurely, sitting on the couch with his body slightly sideways, which was really interesting.

After receiving the great news of the day, Ba Duoming was gearing up and was silently reading the interview procedures all the time.How to visit, what to say to the queen when painting, how to arouse the queen's interest.Do you start by telling some Bible stories and overseas anecdotes, and then gradually introduce the main topic?Where is the queen's interest, and how to lead her to accept Catholicism from the things she cares about.

The missionaries rehearsed for a long time, but they did not receive any further notice, so they couldn't help feeling extremely anxious.Couldn't help inquiring about the situation, Fulchen's third brother Sulkin, whose Christian name was John, was also anxious, and wanted to comfort his fellow believers: "The mid-autumn festival is a banquet, and the master has many things to do. After the mid-autumn festival, the emperor will take the lead After the siege, everyone will be preparing to return to the capital. When we return to the capital, the eldest princess will be married again, and the empress dowager’s birthday will be in October. I’m afraid you won’t be able to meet until the end of October.”

Bardomin: "..."

In fact, the missionaries had the opportunity to meet the Queen after returning to Beijing.

At that time, the queen was in a good mood, her son and daughter were about to get married, and the wedding was almost ready.Called Hongdan: "You have grown up too, really, I still remember clearly when I married into Yuqing Palace, you are going to marry a wife."

Hongdan smiled shyly.

Shujia beckoned, Hongdan looked at his mother suspiciously, stepped forward obediently, and listened to her.He only heard his mother say: "Your younger brothers have also grown up. Some things are not good to be taught by maids and eunuchs. As an older brother, you should remind them a little bit."

"Gah?"

"Gah, what?" Shujia smacked her son on the head angrily, "You were brought up by your Mafa, and when you grow up, you followed your Ama, ahem, the relationship between men and women should be the father, Uh, tell the son, the daughter belongs to the mother. I don’t care about you. Uh, now that you, Ama, are so busy, I think he also, um, it’s not good to tell your brothers these things. You are a big brother , shouldn’t you take some responsibility?”

"Ah? This, how can you say this?" Damn it!The brothers also talk a little bit in private, but they absolutely cannot admit it in front of their own mothers!

Shujia grabbed her son's neckline with one hand: "When the melons are ripe, the fruit will fall, and the way of heaven is permanent." Then she explained the rationality of the behavior and the non-conflict with the etiquette.

This is not asking Hongdan to teach his younger brother, it is obviously Shujia who is afraid that his son will understand the love affairs and enlighten him.During his grandfather's funeral, he matured, and Xiaoyi and Confucianism responded to normal human physiology. Shujia was still worried that his son, who had read too many sage books, would not be able to turn around.

I don't know how much Hongdan understood his mother's "hard work", but it is true that he left with a much lighter pace.

The queen was in a good mood and didn't worry about anything, so she remembered the portrait again.

The treatment for the missionaries this time was not too high, they were received by Hongdan, and then the eunuchs were sent all the way to Kunning Palace.

I didn't see the emperor, but I was lucky enough to meet the queen. I was in a good mood, and the missionaries also wanted to show off.They learned in advance the rules of court painting and the reason why the queen was angry, but this time they adopted a double-opening mode.That is to say, draw a frontal picture, and then ask the queen to turn her body slightly, nod her head, and draw another oil painting that can show the lines of the side part.

On the first day, I drew two sketches first, and Shujia looked quite satisfied.

The missionary held his breath until he looked at the queen and nodded, then let out a sigh of relief, and then made a request: Can I draw more sketches on the model (that is, the queen herself) in the next period of time? , this seeks to be able to draw closer to the charm of the queen.

Shujia was idle, nodding her head and saying: "Okay." Then she asked them to leave the draft and show it to Yinfeng.The missionary's eyes were full of joy, and he happily agreed.The purpose of taking the line of the queen is still to influence the emperor through her, and finally loosen the Qing court's policy on the church.

The facial features of oriental people are not so three-dimensional. Even the face drawn by perspective method does not appear so three-dimensional. If the face is slightly sideways, the effect will be different.Yinfeng praised it after seeing it: "Tell them to draw with their hearts, and I will reward them when they finish drawing~" It made him want to draw a picture.

From the second day onwards, several missionaries came to Kunning Palace regularly in the afternoon. They could only stay here for half an hour, but they made full use of this time.

Shujia listened with great interest to the missionary chatting with her and telling her stories, which were stories from the Bible, and the topic was caused by the portraits.Shujia's sitting skills are top-notch, and she can talk freely while sitting still. She asked the missionary: "My daughter is still young, and I want to take a small picture for her. After finishing this picture, can you draw another one?" One picture? Well, it's us... mother and daughter... drawing one picture together. Can it be done?"

"Your Majesty, of course it is possible," the missionary thought he was asking if he would take a group photo, and quickly assured him, and then took the opportunity to say, "Not only mother and daughter, but also mother and child are also possible. Many statues of the Madonna are the Madonna holding the Son in her arms." of……"

Can find the entry point!Next, the missionary was eloquent, talking about Bible stories and then talking about simple doctrines.Shujia only had a superficial understanding of Catholicism. At this time, she heard a lot of knowledge that she didn't understand before. She became curious and listened quite seriously. Even the maids and eunuchs could not listen to the story.

The missionary was very excited, and painted two strokes on the canvas from time to time.The paintings drawn here have been pondered over many times before, and a certain level can be guaranteed even if you are distracted and talking.The two were having a question and answer session when Yinfeng came.

The missionary witnessed a scene that cheered him up.

Whatever the queen said, the emperor nodded.From the wedding of the princess to the wedding of the prince, and then to the empress who wants to replace the maids in the emperor's palace (in fact, they have to be sent home when they are old).And the emperor said he wanted to promote the queen's uncle, but after being dismissed by the queen, the emperor was not angry.In the view of the missionaries, the emperor turned his face away, and he must have issued a promotion order.

Great!Originally, I knew that the empress's relationship was good, but I didn't expect it to be so good!
The missionary returned to his residence with excitement and discussed with his colleagues.

"The queen's influence on the emperor is obvious. If the queen can be converted into a religion, under her influence, the emperor must become a religion. Then, we, we..." I was too excited to speak.

Ba Doming was silent for a while, and asked, "How can we persuade the queen to join the religion?"

What a problem!

"The queen is still very interested in my teachings..."

"Prince Sunu [1] is also very interested in teachings."

"Uh……"

Speaking of which, the ability of the missionaries is really good. After a small meeting, they found a key point: as we all know, the Catholic Church is monogamous and firmly forbids divorce!Not only is "a good horse does not deserve two saddles, and a good woman does not serve two men", Catholic teachings are also binding on husbands.Even if your wife can't give birth to a son, you are not allowed to divorce!
To put a flower in a sentence, it is because this rule offended a British king. His old man wanted a son, but his wife couldn't give birth to him. The Pope still didn't allow him to divorce.The king of England became angry, he stopped messing with the pope, started a religious reform and became the leader himself: you don't approve my divorce?I am not rare, I approve it myself!
Catholicism never recovered in England.

pope:……

Well, this king is Queen Elizabeth's father, Henry VIII.

"As the empress of a country where mistresses are also legal wives, does she worry about her marriage? The emperor's grandfather once deposed his wife. And, from all indications, the empress is unwilling to be shared by anyone. husband."

Missionaries are very excited when they think they have found the right breakthrough.

Having lived in China for many years, although they are used to seeing many bad local customs, the missionaries still stick to their bottom line.And I think the analysis of the queen's psychology is very good.It must be able to convince her.

Bardomin said: "My dear brother, you still have to be cautious."

Missionaries have always reminded her of things in her previous life. In her previous life, she went to the barber shop, and the barber cut her hair while talking with her.Maybe he just wanted to get close, and when he was in the position of queen, there were too many people who came to "seek attention".Shujia thinks she is quite open-minded, and also exudes kindness.

Finally one day, the topic came.

"His Majesty the Emperor is very friendly to me. When I go back, I will tell my fellow believers that they are very envious."

"Really?" Shujia was very happy when someone praised her husband.

"Yes, everyone is wondering if His Majesty the Emperor... is the legendary King John the Elder."

"Oh? What kind of story is this?"

"Your Majesty, this is not a story." The missionary said.In western legends, in the east, there is a king who believes in Christ, he is pious and powerful.At that time, Western Europe was being bullied miserably by the extremely tough Ottoman Turkey. Grasping at the straw thought it would save their lives, and imagined that they could contact a king and attack Turkey, a pagan country, with him.

After hearing what he said, Shujia felt unhappy in her heart!

We know enough about Catholicism to be despised by Yinfeng, but we didn't just doze off in world history class.She had never heard of King John the Elder, but she knew of the Christian countries around Jerusalem that were cruelly occupied by the pagan countries described by the missionaries.

It was established during the Eastern Crusades. The Crusades were initiated by the Holy See. It was an outright "behavior of the archway to slander the next bitch". The Crusades had eight Eastern Expeditions in 200 years, and the fourth one was to destroy Byzantium. The empire was looted.And the Byzantine Empire is by no means a pagan country!
Shujia became alert.For some reason, I remembered that France's excuse for the Second Opium War was the "Father Ma incident". That priest is really not a good person!

Another day later, the missionary went on to the next topic, praising Yinfeng's various virtues, which are almost the same as Catholics: "It's just a little different in marriage." He was waiting for the queen to ask questions. This is a fishing post .

Shujia replied patiently: "Oh?"

The missionary smiled slightly, feeling like a great monk: "Catholicism is strictly monogamous."

Inside and outside the words, the implication is quite obvious.
