Chapter 16 Vibration
Taixing seven years, August fourteenth.
The year is in Bingwu, the moon is in Yiyou, the star is in Kuimu, and the god is in the southwest.
In the capital city where the golden wind blows, a major event happened.
Beside the Bell and Drum Tower, the crowds of people passing by seem to have been blown by the cold winter and turned into ice sculptures.
The entire northwest corner of the capital froze at that moment. Countless people raised their heads and looked up at the strange object flying in the air.
The child stretched his fingers, jumped, and shouted.
The adult blocked the glare of the sun with his hands, a little scared, but he didn't want to escape.
The patrolling soldiers stood there, questioning their officers.
The mage of Huguo Temple stopped the wooden fish in his hand, not knowing what kind of monster it was.
The missionaries in Xuanwumen Church crossed their chests, guessing what kind of apocalypse it was.
The Taoist priest in Cao Laogong's temple held a wooden sword and asked the Xuanqiong Gao God what it was.
The students in the Taixue looked up, thinking that the child was ignorant of the gods.
... This scene, in the view of the balloon, is just a small black spot.
Liu Yu raised his head and looked into the distance.
After passing the city wall, passing the mountains, and passing the desert, it is thousands of miles away.
The seventh year of Taixing in Dashun, 82 years after the fall of Ming Dynasty, and 1726 AD.
In the city of Beijing, for the first time, human beings flew into the sky with enlarged Kongming lanterns.
This year, the 84-year-old Newton knew that he was going to see God, and told the autobiographer for the first time the story of the apple that hit his head.
This year, 16-year-old Louis XV had just come to power, and his wife from Poland was about to conceive the father of the man who was pushed to the guillotine by the tricolor flag.
This year, the 14-year-old Frederick II, under the education of his father with sticks and whips, fantasized all day long that one day he would escape to England and live away from this prince who was like a soldier.
This year, the Holy Roman Empire and Tsarist Russia in the north formally signed an anti-Ottoman Turkey treaty, and the Fourth Russo-Turkish War was brewing.
This year, Maine in America began to recruit volunteer militias to hunt and kill Indians, and the reward for a scalp could be as high as [-] pounds.
This year, speculators who have just experienced the South Sea Bubble and the two major stock market crashes of Mississippi Company are ready to move again, preparing to set off a new round of bubble traps and spreading flowers, forgetting the despair of tulips and the stock market that even Lord Niu can't understand. cruel.
This year, the Danish Bering ran in the vast Siberian wasteland, preparing to find the strait to be named after him, and saw Alaska in America.
In this year, Euler went to Petersburg and brought up the baby-like calculus. He began to think about number theory and topology, which are troublesome for countless college students in later generations, and began to standardize mathematical symbols such as independent variable functions, differences, and summations. In the near future, the symbols of the semi-unified mathematics textbooks, this monument of ten thousand years, cannot be annihilated by wind and sand.
This year, Montesquieu and Voltaire traveled to England and met inadvertently. In a coffee shop in London, the two discussed the just-published "Encyclopedia of Science and Technology", hoping that one day reason and machinery could overcome ignorance the gods.
Liu Yu didn't try to turn his head to look at the boring and profound Forbidden City anymore, and he didn't think about how those big shots would think about today's sensation.
Such a scenery, it is better to calm down and enjoy it carefully.
It is life, it is death; it is blessing, it is disaster.
Go down, you should know.
…………
In the mansion of the Duke of Qi by the Crescent River, the Duke of Qi, Tian Suo, is flipping through books with a few Qing guests.
"Reporting to the Duke, we have searched many documents from the previous Ming Dynasty, but we have not found the 'Yongning Temple Inscription' that the Duke mentioned."
"In the ninth year of Yongle, Yishiha did serve as an imperial eunuch and inspected Nuergandusi and other places. In the seventh year of Xuande, Yishiha went to Nuergandusi again. But we did not find Yongning Temple in the book. Things."
"But I don't know where the Duke learned about it?"
These Qing guests who search for chapters and excerpts for a living are very puzzled, how can the Duke pay attention to the distant and bitter cold place?It was bitter cold and barren, and no one in the imperial court was willing to go there. How could anyone care about whether the inscription on the founding of the former Ming Dynasty was there?
Tian Suo frowned, looking at Liu Yu's dictation and Tian Ping's transcript of "A Brief Examination of the Western Countries", thinking otherwise.
This "A Brief Examination of the Western Countries" already has the emperor's comment on it, just a few simple words.
"Great kindness. Write some more and send them to the palace."
These simple words are not simple at all.
Tian Suo, as a nobleman, knows very well the appearance of a great Ming nobleman after the civil fortress of the previous dynasty, and knows that the next generation must carry out a "person of his own" who can protect the younger generation from wind and rain.
In his eyes, Yu Yin's children of third-rank officials were not counted as his own people, so he naturally wanted to find the children of the founding princes.
So far, it looks good.
The only thing was the memorial sent up that day, some of which Tian Suo couldn't understand.
After Bei talked about the delayed plan between himself and the Raksha Kingdom, he also added something about Yongning Temple during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor drew a circle on top of the words Yongning Temple and so on.
Below is a comment that Tian Suo needs to figure out.
"Is it the responsibility of the nobles to find chapters and quotes? Who can make meritorious deeds in the white mountains and black waters?"
This is the emperor's comment, the question is what does it mean?
Is it a compliment?
Is it dissatisfaction?
or something else?
While thinking hard, the butler hurried over from outside, and he couldn't help but be decent, and said repeatedly: "Master Guo, go out and have a look, a monster is flying from the sky!"
…………
Imperial City.
Coal Mountain.
The old crooked neck tree is still there.
After a stone, in order to win over the hearts of Ming officials, Man Qing chained the old crooked neck tree, saying that he was here to avenge Emperor Chongzhen.
This crooked-neck tree that hanged Chongzhen to death is guilty!
This is a sinful locust tree, which should be chained and punished to show that the Manchu Qing entered the Central Plains to avenge Emperor Chongzhen and confuse people's hearts.
Now the chain on it has already been smashed open by Li Laiheng, the little Chuang Wang, and there is an inscription beside it.
The content of the inscription is part of the enthronement edict of the "false" Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Alas!In the past 30 years, the country has not seen a real government that is compassionate to the people.New pay and old pay, rotting flesh and blood in Liaodong; lack of pre-sign, exhausted brains and whips.The fire is like an enemy, mourning who is the parent!To my people, there is nothing to complain about.
Although Dashun did not recognize Nanming as orthodox, the content of the enthronement edict of the only bloody and intelligent emperor Longwu in Nanming undoubtedly provided Dashun with a lot of legitimacy.
The descendants of the Longwu lineage were recognized by Dashun as the "two kings and three aces". How can the Longwu lineage not only plead guilty, but also proposed a strategy to join forces with the invaders and keep captives.
The rest of those who joined forces with the captives and suppressed the bandits naturally did not have a good reputation.What's more, the family who went to the doctor indiscriminately when they were sick, and the court believed in Catholicism and wrote to the Holy See for help, is even less likely to be recognized.
Since the enthronement edicts of the false emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty were all written in this way, it means that the royal family of Zhu Ming drove the world into chaos, and it is their own fault to hang themselves here. What kind of crime is this?
The descendants of the Zhu family all admitted that it was a fact.
On the road not far from the foreigner's neck tree, Dashun Taixing Emperor Li Gan was staring at the crooked neck tree in a daze.
The eunuch beside him didn't dare to speak, but stood cautiously on both sides.The female officials of Emperor Taizong's legacy are also on both sides. After all, they are no more than the original fantasy. These female officials are just decorations.
Considering taboo and other reasons, the royal children use more strange names, so as not to avoid taboo even if they fart, so they used the uncommon name Gan.
Now that Li Gan has been on the throne for seven years, he is in the prime of life, and he has just passed away, and he is not yet confused.Beside those eunuchs and court ladies, there were also a few missionaries.
The missionaries all had dark faces and bowed their heads.
Emperor Li Gan's expression was not good, and the eunuch next to him didn't dare to say anything.
Calling these missionaries here today is nothing but a dispute over Catholic liturgy.
Li Gan was determined to resolve this matter as soon as possible. It was not that he didn't know that Xiyi was strong at this time, nor did he know that Xiyi had a lot to learn, but he didn't want the Jesuits to continue to develop.
Dai Jinxian's face was even darker. Today Li Gan issued an imperial edict:
Send Qin Tianjian Jianzheng and Li government minister Dai Jinxian to Rome soon.
Not as the vice president of the Jesuits in China, but as an official of the Dashun Li government, he met with the Pope to finalize the etiquette dispute that has been entangled for decades and is still mixed.
Dai Jinxian will soon go to Macau and return to Europe by boat, and what he brings with him is Dashun's ultimatum.
If the Pope doesn't let go of the etiquette issue, then Dashun will ban religion, and there is no room for bargaining.
In order to express Dashun's determination, Li Gan did not use those missionaries who had always followed the wishes of the Holy See when the delegation from the Raksha Kingdom came.
Since the time of Matteo Ricci, missionaries in China have been divided into two factions.One faction thinks that Chinese Christians are all heresies; the other thinks that measures should be adapted to local conditions, otherwise it will not develop at all.
Li Gan is very clear that the gap between Dashun and the West is getting wider and wider. If there is a complete ban on religion, the gap will only grow wider.
He didn't hear it from hearsay, but he knew it many years ago when he was still the prince.
At that time, France sent a large number of missionaries to China, and Li Gan, the crown prince, also received a gift.
A telescope with a simple ranging function and a binary hand-operated mechanical calculator invented by Leibniz were all presented by Bai Jin, the leader of the French missionaries.
Bai Jin is the Chinese name taken, the character is Mingyuan, the name is Jiusu Jushi, and it is familiar with "Book of Changes".The gifted telescope with a simple altimetry function also has a lot of background.
It was given by Louis XIV to his illegitimate son, the Duke of Maine, who had polio, probably because the Duke of Maine was appointed as the guardian and educator of King Louis XV because of the fact that the Duke of Maine was unlikely to usurp the throne due to polio.
This telescope was the Duke of Mann's father's reward for his service in the War of the Palatinate Succession. Bai Mingyuan had returned to France to introduce China, and Duke Mann gave the telescope to Bai Mingyuan.
After Bai Mingyuan came back, he gave it to Li Gan as a gift.
With just this telescope with a simple distance-finding function, Li Gan could guess what kind of country with superb skills lay behind these missionaries.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Westerners could travel thousands of miles to Fujian, but Fujian maritime merchants could not go to the West.
So this has been a dispute over etiquette that has been entangled for decades. Even though the Holy See has sent a plenipotentiary envoy to China to denounce the missionaries in China as heretics, Li Gan still hopes to make a final effort to get the Pope to give up those things that China cannot accept. dogma.
However, after a conversation today, nothing was cleared up. The group of missionaries, like the Confucian scholars in the court, did not back down on some matters.
Li Gan became more and more irritable, and suddenly remembered an incident that he had read in "A Brief Examination of the Western Countries" these days.
Suddenly he stopped, and asked Dai Jinxian, Bai Jin and others: "In the past, Iskandar destroyed Persia and killed poison, and was named King of Kings. Later, this name was passed on to Sasanian Persia. Beilu, the last prince of Sasanian Persia, Si went into exile in the Tang Dynasty, served as the governor of the Persian capital and the general of Youweiwei, and presented the title of King of Kings to Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty."
"Now that I have extended the land of the Tang Dynasty, since I am the Son of Heaven, can I call it Basileus ton Basileon?"
As soon as these words came out, several missionaries exclaimed almost in unison: "No! That basileus ton basileon is the holy name of our Lord..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Dai Jinxian knew something was wrong, and his face changed dramatically.
Li Gan seemed to have guessed the reaction of the missionaries a long time ago, and he said in his heart that he was the third son of Duke Yi's family, and he was right.
He didn't get angry either, he just snorted.
Iskandar is the Central Asian translation of Alexander's name. Long before the missionaries came to China, there were many legends about Iskandar's achievements on the grasslands. Li Gan knew it, but he didn't know that Tang Gaozong had such an allusion .
Seeing these missionaries as if they had been trampled on their tails, Li Gan said coldly: "You have been saying to be tolerant all day, be tolerant, have you ever been tolerant?"
"The Ming Dynasty built a church for Matteo Ricci at Xuanwumen. After the founding of Dashun, the church in front of Xuanwumen was not demolished. Instead, you were allowed to expand it."
"But I don't know if you can build a Zhou Gong temple, a Taoist temple, and a nunnery opposite St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican?"
"At the time of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, you fought for 30 years of heresy, but now you only say to let me be tolerant. Then I send monks and Taoist priests to the Vatican to preach, and the Holy See may agree?"
"I only let the Heavenly Dynasty tolerate you, but you are not willing to tolerate others. What is the reason?"
When it comes to shortness of breath, Dai Jinxian and others are silent and dare not speak.
They all thought that the Chinese emperor was pure nonsense, and it would definitely not work to build a nunnery or Zhougong Temple in Rome, let alone build it opposite St. Paul's Cathedral.
The problem is that what Emperor Dashun said was right. The Xuanwumen Church was just across from the mansion of Duke Yan Sheng of the former Ming Dynasty in Beijing, no less than building a Zhougong Temple opposite St. Paul's Cathedral.
Dai Jinxian and others are well aware of the emperor's attitude, but they feel in their hearts that you are all lost lambs. We can build a church here and lead you to heaven. If you go to Rome to build a temple, you will defile the Holy Land.
Just thinking so in my heart, I can't say it out of my mouth, I can only bow my head in silence.This is a great honor given to Meishan and Taiye Lake to drive and see the scenery, but now it is set on fire.
Li Gan was in a bad mood and was about to go down the mountain when he suddenly looked up and saw a dark object floating in the air in the northwest corner.
Just outside the Forbidden City, it looks about three to five hundred steps away, extremely huge, floating in mid-air.
"What is this?"
