Chapter 478 Where is Jinni Pavilion?

The emperor handed over the matter to him, and Wei Zhongxian was excited in his heart.

As long as the matter gets riotous this time, he will be confident in expanding his rights and will definitely be able to defeat the Jinyiwei.

The most important thing is that this time it was really a big case. He planned it for so long and finally could unfold it.

Once the plan is successful, it will be time for him to turn the tables.

Wei Zhongxian walked outward and thought inside, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

This time, everyone wants to see his Lao Wei's ability! Those people shouted all day long, what do they know?

In the capital, there is a place where Catholic people gather more, and this place is the Catholic library.

In order to preach in the Ming Dynasty, Catholics thought of many various methods, the better method was to spread Western knowledge through books. In this case, there would be better results. This was also discovered after repeated experiments.

Now in the capital, there are two people who have the final say in the Catholic Church, one is Guo Jingju and the other is Jinnige.

The most important thing is that these two people have a good relationship with others. For example, Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, Chen Tingyun and others have a very good relationship with these two people, and they are always together. These two people even lived in their homes.

After finding out these relationships, Wei Zhongxian was about to make trouble from them.

Once the emperor agrees with his statement, he will severely punish Guo Jingju and Jinnige, this matter will be interesting. I don’t know what they will choose then, but Wei Zhongxian is still looking forward to it.

And in the palace at this time.

Zhu Youxiao was also waiting quietly.

Zhu Youxiao has really heard of Jinnige, and it was in his previous life.

Zhu Youxiao once sighed very much, but it was just for the Ming Dynasty, not for a person named Jinnige.

Because Matteo Ricci's story was passed back to Europe, the European missionaries were very excited, which greatly stimulated their hearts and led to these people being particularly radical and all wanting to come to the East to preach.

Kinnige is one of them. He followed the path pioneered by Matteo Ricci and brought many books to strengthen his communication with the Ming Dynasty. He hoped to impress the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty and let the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty allow them to preach in the capital. This is very important.

Today, Jinnige has come to the Ming Dynasty for the second time. He made very sufficient preparations, not only bringing these Western scholars to interest future generations, but also bringing a whole library of books to China. These books are hardcover and have no repetitions, including the latest achievements in theology, philosophy, science, literature and art after the Renaissance movement.

In order to recruit new books and instruments, Kinnich traveled to Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and other countries, and finally collected more than 7,000 hardcover books, all of which were brought to the Ming Dynasty by him.

In addition to these books, he also brought various instruments to the Ming Dynasty.

Later, Jinnige died of illness in Hangzhou, and the plan introduced by the "Seven Thousand Books of the West" to the Chinese intellectual community was aborted.

Later, Li Zhizao, Wang Zheng and others translated some of these works sporadically, while most of the books were covered in dust and were silently lost.

Until 1938, when the Catholic Church in Peking was sorting out the library, hundreds of remaining pieces of the "Seven Thousand" were discovered, including Copernicus's "Theory of the Operation of the Celestial Body" and Kepler's "A Summary of Copernicus's Astronomy".

When he saw this news, Zhu Youxiao burst into tears.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had delayed too many things and missed many opportunities. Since we now know that Jinnige is in the capital, it is impossible for him to run away again this time; all the books and instruments he brought will belong to him.

Since they wanted to build a library, Zhu Youxiao was ready to build a library for them. Zhu Youxiao had already made up his mind and could be used now.

As for what Wei Zhongxian said, we naturally need to change it and we naturally need to discuss it with them.

Zhu Youxiao was very confident about his negotiation skills and negotiation skills. He believed that he could convince these priests to change their teachings.

In a yard in the capital.

Guo Jingju and Jinnige are busy.

After the two arrived in the capital, they founded this small library and invited many Ming ministers and scholars to visit here, and had a great time talking with them.

However, these Ming ministers and scholars were very interested in knowledge, but were not interested in missionary preaching.

The Ming Dynasty had its own culture and history. Although Guo Jingju and Jinnige made them believe in the sect, not many people truly believed it.

Moreover, once the two of them act too much, they will attract the government to review, and the Ming government seems to be very sensitive to this aspect.

In fact, Guo Jingju and Jinnige didn’t know that for the Ming officials, gathering people to cause trouble is very serious. How can you preach the missionary people like the White Lotus Sect? Do you want to rebel?

No one cares about you being preached, and no one cares about what you are saying. The officials of the Ming Dynasty just don’t let you preach.

Don’t think you are going to do what you are going to do, we don’t know. After all, our Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty also did this kind of thing back then.

Through sects, we have been on guard against all dynasties. Zhang Jiao, the celestial master of the Han Dynasty, is now famous.

Guo Jingju and Jinnige also asked officials of the Ming Dynasty, hoping that they could recommend themselves to His Majesty of the Ming Dynasty.

Matteo Ricci met Emperor Wanli and buried him in the capital after his death. You know, this is already a special treatment.

According to the rules, these foreigners were not qualified to be buried in the Ming Dynasty. If they died, they would be transported to Macau for burial, or their friends and relatives would be taken back to their motherland. The Ming Dynasty did not accept the bodies of foreigners at all. However, Emperor Wanli issued a special order to bury Matteo Ricci in the capital.

The longer he lived in the Ming Dynasty, the more Guo Jingju and Jinnige understood what kind of rights the emperors of this country held. So they wanted to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to pass the imperial power to preach themselves.

But in fact, it was not the case. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty seemed not interested in them and did not see them at all.

Over time, Guo Jingju and Jinnige became discouraged and focused on managing the library in this small courtyard, hoping to preach more teachings to some people.

At this moment, the outside suddenly became chaotic.

Guo Jingju and Jinnige were both stunned. After looking at each other, they turned their heads and looked out, not knowing what was going on here.

Soon, they saw a group of people rushing in. They knew that this was the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty.

Guo Jingju and Jinnige naturally also had contact with officials of the Ming Dynasty and understood very well what these Dongchang men do. The lesson plans of those who used to be from those days are often mentioned. Is there something wrong?

Guo Jingju reached out to stop Jinnige who was about to go up, reached out to pat him, and walked up by himself.

Wei Zhongxian walked out of the crowd, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Guo Jingju and the others.

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "The environment here is elegant."

After hearing this, Guo Jingju had no intention of being happy.

The person in front of me is not easy to mess with. Judging from their clothes, this person is a eunuch, the confidant of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the one who follows Dongchang. The identity of the person in front of me is probably about to emerge.

"Who are you?" Guo Jingju asked directly at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Guo Jingju, and the smile on his face did not change at all, and asked, "Are you Guo Jingju?"

Guo Jingju nodded and said, "I am."

Wei Zhongxian did not ask him again, but asked with a smile: "Where is Jinnige?"

"Is there anything you have?" Guo Jingju asked after thinking about it,

"Our Ming Emperor wants to see you." Wei Zhongxian turned to look at Guo Jingju, his smile on his face calmed down, and said with a serious face: "Now call out Jinnige and follow our family."

"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to see us?" Guo Jingju asked in disbelief.

This proposal is really too sudden!

Although Guo Jingju and the others were looking forward to this day, they never thought that this day would come so quickly!

Guo Jingju and Jin Nige couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Is this true? Xu Guangqi and the others did not come to inform this matter. What's going on?

Jinnige hurriedly walked over and said, "I am Jinnige. Your Emperor wants to see us. Are you saying true?"

"Of course it's true." Wei Zhongxian said angrily: "Now put down your things and go with our family."

After confirming the news, Guo Jingju and Jinnige were immediately excited, so they naturally did not dare to stay any longer. They quickly packed up their things and followed Wei Zhongxian.

Soon, the news spread, and Wei Zhongxian took Guo Jingju and Jinnige away, and the emperor wanted to see them.

The news reached Li Zhizao and Xu Guangqi's ears, and their expressions were a little strange.

Especially Xu Guangqi, he was a little worried now. You should know that for so long, he knew Your Majesty very well. Your Majesty is not the kind of person who can agree with it by just listening to others, and he doesn't seem to have much favorable feelings for the sect he believes in.

This time, His Majesty recruited people into the palace, which was extraordinary. What's more, His Majesty, whom Wei Zhongxian saw before, and then Wei Zhongxian went to summon him.

If there is nothing Wei Zhongxian is involved, no one believes this. Although Wei Zhongxian is relatively low-key during this period, in fact, everyone is not surprised by the appearance of this person, but he didn't expect that he would get the matter to himself.

"I want to enter the palace." Xu Guangqi stood up and finished speaking directly, turning around and walking towards the palace.

The stunned Han and Huang Kezhang were left behind, and neither of them understood what was going on.
