Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 55: Western priest
Yang Ling turned his gaze, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a soft hat and big sleeves standing next to the little boy with pink makeup and jade. This man was pure and white, with a graceful temperament and a similar appearance to the little boy. Seven points are similar, I want to be a father and son. It's just that the middle-aged scribe is a little fatter, and the weather is still tight in early spring and February, and sweat marks loomed on his delicate skin.
"This..." Yang Ling was a little embarrassed. Whether this sentence really came from the Buddhist scriptures or not, he didn't know anything. When he heard this little book, he said several books that he had never heard before. The Buddhist classics know that people are the real scholars and have a lot of research on Buddhism. How dare he answer the question indiscriminately, so he can only laugh and say: "Uh... this, hehe, studying well in the next without asking for intricate explanations, I can't think of it. Which scripture is the allusion".
The little scholar Wu Qiqi's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly smiled slyly: "I understand, this Xiongtai originally made up casually to make the lady happy, and he was really quick-witted, admired and admired."
The middle-aged man next to chuckled and said, "My son is so gibberish." Although he spoke and blamed, he laughed and feasted, apparently indulging in his son, with a fatherly look between his eyebrows.
Xiaoshusheng said unconvincedly: "It was originally, sister, but your family husband often talks nonsense and makes you happy?"
Han Youniang blushed and gave him a sip. She was blushing, but she looked back at Yang Ling sweetly. The tenderness and sweetness could no longer be concealed. The young man clapped his hands and laughed: " Painting a bridge with smoke and willows is beautiful, but how can it be compared to the spring-mountain and autumn-like eyes of a woman when she was in love? My sister looked at her husband and smiled so sweet and beautiful, but I think your husband looks handsome A talented person must be a master who is accustomed to coaxing people. You have to look more closely and be careful of him making flowers and grass."
Han Youniang snorted, just about to open her mouth to rebut, suddenly remembered Ma Lian'er, such a beautiful woman, even she was a girl who looked at her house, she was heartbroken, but she was willing to follow Yang Ling, willing to be a concubine, said no Quasi husband is really used to coaxing people, so that the girl was so confused, she gave her heart to him, thinking that she couldn't help but glance at Yang Ling with a vengeance.
The middle-aged scholar hehe smiled and touched his son's head, and said, "Nonsense!" He said with a hand and smiled at Yang Ling: "This son, the child is stubborn, please forgive me."
Yang Ling hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, make the son smart and knowledgeable, like a jade, he will definitely be the champion in the future."
The little scholar had a strange smile on his face. Yang Ling saw that the middle-aged man didn't know his name, so he didn't intend to talk to himself, and said: "I want to enter the temple with the lady for incense, don't accompany me."
The middle-aged scribe smiled and said, "It's okay, please, please."
Yang Ling pulled Youniang a few steps along the promenade, the little boy suddenly shouted from behind: "Hey, Xiongtai, you haven't said yet, why did you look back at me for more than 500 eyes in the previous life?" /
Yang Ling turned around and smiled: "Well...there are only two kinds of people who can keep me looking back, one is a majestic beauty, and the other is a rogue who owes money. I just don’t know what kind of person you are, little brother." After he finished speaking, he laughed, took Youniang and walked away quickly.
The little scholar patted the small gold fan and weighed it quite seriously for a long while: "This...the peerless beauty? It's wrong. The rogue who owes money... doesn't seem right, ah, This kid is playing with me".
The little scholar recalled his taste, he hummed his legs and chased after him. The middle-aged scribe couldn’t stop him, so he had no choice but to shook his head and swayed his hand gently. There were more than a dozen seeming tourists under the corridor. The man appeared and followed quietly.
The middle-aged scribe followed slowly, and an old servant dressed up by the family rushed up to help him, and said softly: "Master, it's getting late, let's go back."
The middle-aged scribe smiled and said, "Hehe, this kid doesn't even have a playmate. It's rare for someone to quarrel with him. Let him play for a while."
The old servant nodded and bowed his head and helped the somewhat obese middle-aged man to walk into the Vajra Palace. Suddenly, there was a noise in the direction of the Heavenly King Palace. The Chinese expression tightened, and he quickly accelerated a few steps. , Said anxiously: "Go and see, what happened?"
Walking through the hall, I saw several Tibetan monks in high crowns and red robes standing on the platform in front of the Palace of Heavenly Kings. Five people in long robes stood under the steps, and there was one lying on the ground. The two sides were arguing.
Xiaoshusheng, Yang Ling and Youniang were standing together with their necks stretched to watch the excitement. Six or seven sturdy men stood around them, seeming to be visitors watching the excitement, but they had faintly protected them in the middle.
A few Tibetan monks on the steps screamed, and the thin, tall, long-robed men under the stage also pointed their hands and protested loudly with a stranger voice. anger.
Yang Ling saw that there were a few Tibetan monks on the platform. I already knew that I had entered the wrong temple gate today. Goodbye, there are a few men in long robes next to the copper tripod under the steps, all of whom are of European and American race, with high noses and deep eye sockets. The two gangs of chickens and ducks talked and quarreled for a long time, and suddenly a tall Westerner from the next step came out, blushing and roaring: "All the world, is it the king of the earth? The coast of the land, is it the king? Minister, you chase us away, it's unreasonable!"
The little boy looked at his father and couldn't help laughing. The Tibetan monk on the stage also said in Chinese with angrily: "It's not us...I won't take you in, you Western monks, you are in my heart. No, if you bring someone who is sick, you will be infected."
The foreigner under the stage shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, he is suffering from a disease that is not a plague and cannot be contagious." People on both sides argued with each other in stammering Chinese. The Yang Ling standing next to each other vaguely Listen to a rough idea.
It turns out that these foreigners are missionaries from Francois (Spain and Portugal). They have been in Great Ming for three years. A few days ago they successfully developed their first believer in Great Ming. One of them died of illness. A beggar who suffers from disease, ulcerated, and dying, took him back to the Huguo Temple where he was mailed like a treasure. While taking care of him, he taught him Catholic doctrines. The monks were worried about the patient's disease transmission, but several negotiations failed, so they drove them out.
Yang Ling saw that these foreign missionaries were helping a Han Chinese. Although they had the selfish desire to develop Christians, it was a good deed, so I stepped forward to help him with the theory, but the monks were totally unreasonable and never mentioned. The compassion of Buddhism.
The little scholar whispered a few words with his father, and beckoned to an attendant to give a few low orders. The attendant rushed to the platform and said a few words to a deacon lama. The deacon lama heard that the good man under the order was going to donate With three thousand taels of sesame oil money, he immediately opened his eyebrows and smiled, and fully agreed to their request to receive Western missionaries.
It’s not a problem to arrange an independent courtyard for this large temple with an area of ten jin. They made a fuss today to drive away these Westerners, because in the eyes of the Han people, they are certainly yin and yang. But in their eyes, these blond and blue-eyed foreign monks are even more uncivilized barbarians and cannibals.
The missionaries had a place to live, and they couldn’t help but step forward to thank the great benefactor and the outspoken Yang Ling, and then went to the residence to take their own cage and bedding and moved to the backyard. The tallest one The foreigner seemed to be the leader of this group of priests, and kept thanking Yang Ling and the young scholar in very bad Chinese.
Yang Ling is very curious about these missionaries. In his impression, the Western missionaries who came to China in the early days were quite civilized and upright. It was indeed because of fanatical religious beliefs that they worked so hard to preach to the East. I spoke a few words politely.
These missionaries were ordered by the Holy See to preach in the East. They hit a wall everywhere and few people were willing to answer them. At this time, when Yang Ling took the initiative to talk, the missionary was very excited and immediately stammered and took the initiative to introduce his situation. Come.
It turned out that this missionary was called Shathge. He and more than a dozen priests organized a mission to the East under the orders of the Franchise Jesuits. Initially they moved to India, but the promotion of doctrine was not ideal. Several priests also Different from the local people's teachings, he was beaten to death by the indigenous people.
Later they heard that there was a stronger and more civilized country to the east, so they left India and came to Ming Dynasty by sea. As a result, when the fleet arrived in Malacca, it was seized by the local indigenous army. Later they bought the guard and passed Local merchants smuggled to Japan, leaving behind a few priests. The remaining five people landed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang by boat and arrived at Great Ming.
But it is obviously difficult for the Gospel of God to be implemented in the Han area~IndoMTL.com~ For the common people, a **** who breaks the bones of a man to make a woman is not as powerful as an adult, and this is Western. The gods also forbid the poor couple to understand courtesy, justice and shame, and let them wander in the orchard with their bare buttocks all day long. This kind of half-hanging **** is obviously not as attractive as a group of friendly Tathagata and the elder master who can eliminate demons and demons.
So these five missionaries have been in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for more than two years, and no believer has developed. They came to the capital in desperation, hoping to be summoned by the Great Ming emperor, so that they can have the opportunity to convey the doctrine in Great Ming.
In order to be more easily accepted by the Han people, they now wear long robes and study the Four Books and Five Classics. In order to cater to the Chinese concept of the sky and the circle, they have redrawn the world map they brought, and corrected China in the middle. It’s a pity that the officials of the Ministry of Rites heard that they were not envoys to the celestial dynasty on behalf of a small foreign country, so they drove them out. They haven’t seen the emperor yet, and they are almost becoming beggars.
The little scholar heard it interestingly and couldn’t help but interject: "Where is your country and how big is it?"
Shath stammered and said: "In the far, far west, it takes a long, long time to take a boat. Our country was originally very small, not as big as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, but 20 years ago. Queen Tilia married our King of Aragon. Our two countries have merged. The country is now much bigger, bigger than Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
