Zhu Yunxi's expression became more and more serious.

Kaifeng captured a team of vassal ghosts, namely foreigners.

It is not surprising that these people are on the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, but they secretly mingled into the Central Plains, which is obviously related to the Yici Leye Sect. After being arrested, they did not reveal their identity and asked Kaifeng Prefecture to kill several people before taking out the letter of the country.

If something goes wrong, there will be a demon!

No one leads the way, no translation, they can find a place? Who provided them with these?

In this era, no one cared about the problems of foreigners. Not to mention how many people died, they all died in the prison of Kaifeng Prefecture, and there was only one more grave in the cemetery. However, with the national letter and local officials, they had to pay attention to it.

"Which country's letter?" Zhu Yunxiu asked.

Li Zhigang said, "The emperor is Franjiren, who brings the letter of the country of the Pope of the Catholic Kingdom!" As he said, he paused, "The book has reached the Ministry of Rites. The document corresponding to the documents of communication with Taisie left by the previous dynasty during the Yuan Dynasty, which is not like a false statement." As he said, his hand reached into his sleeve, "This is the letter of the country brought by Franjiren, please read it by the emperor..."

The so-called Chinese calligraphy is actually a bit ragged, but it is rarely thick in your hand. It should be made of parchment paper, and it is covered with talismans like mochi. It seems that it should be Latin.

Folangji is a title for Europeans passed down from the Yuan Dynasty. It is recorded in the history of the Yuan Dynasty that Folangji paid a tribute to another horse in the autumn of the second year of Zhizheng...

Although the Yuan Dynasty had all kinds of bad things, it was definitely the most open dynasty in the history of China. No matter where you come from, no matter what kind of god you believe in, you can come as long as you pay taxes. Not only can you come, but you can also settle down and preach, etc.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had only been in power for thirty years, and many old stories of the previous dynasty are still vivid in my mind. The ministers in the dynasty also knew a lot about overseas countries and had evidence to rely on.

If these history is buried in the shelf in a few years, I am afraid that the people in the world will be bleak in the outside world again. Moreover, as the national strength increases, the theory of the Celestial Kingdom is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and from emperors to ministers, no longer caring about the outside world.

"This is probably a missionary!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the obscure and difficult-to-understand Chinese books in his hand and said in his heart, "This is more than a hundred years earlier than Matteo Ricci in the original time and space. It is not the Age of Discovery, so why are these people...?"

Thinking of it, he suddenly smiled and couldn't help but pat his forehead.

Western envoys, such as the Pope, the envoys of the Kingdom of Naples, the French, and the Germans came during the Great Yuan Dynasty, more than once. From Kublai Khan to Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, there is nothing strange about coming here now.

But Zhu Yunxiu felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.

Moreover, there is still a problem before him. Are these so-called messengers still missing? Should they be sent to the capital?

If they don't see them, the fate of these people is a crack.

If you see it, what kind of etiquette should you use to compare with it?

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yunxiu still felt that he would meet.

Not only do we need to see each other, but we also need to see each other with great fanfare.

First of all, with the rise of national strength in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, there is a saying among the scholars, especially those famous Neo-Confucian scholars.

"The way to govern a country is to be polite but not to power and schemes. The fundamental way lies in people's hearts rather than skills!"

This statement has been highly recognized by officials in the court and is also widely popular.

We can use these so-called envoys to give the court officials a geography popularization so that they can see the difference between the world and the world. At the same time, since these people come from thousands of miles away, whether they are taking a boat or walking on land, they must have a map?

With the map, the Ming Dynasty could use the name of escorting the envoys back to take a trip and treat it as a scout. This official pioneering effect is far more than that of the people.

The arrival of these people can be a good opportunity to fully lift the maritime ban.

The next century will be the most turbulent time in human history. The Age of Discovery has once again brought the distance between the east and west, and it can also bring huge wealth.

In addition to wealth, it is more important to broaden the horizons of the Chinese people and use facts to change the traditional scholars' views on the world.

The Ming Dynasty in history did not have such opportunities, but it was destroyed. The civil servant group was self-proclaimed, and the emperors were good at women and eunuchs and had no idea of ​​anything.

The so-called Celestial Kingdom relied on the inertia of history to maintain the status of one overlord. Until the Qing Dynasty, when the Westerners came through the precipitation of the great voyage and came like wolves or tigers, they could no longer resist it.

If you can't resist it, it's not that you're inferior to others.

What's even more terrifying is that I don't want to open my eyes to see the world and don't want to understand it.

It is like the teacher of Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty, the master of Neo-Confucianism, and the leader of the scholars all over the world.

He actually said to Emperor Tongzhi, "There are many countries in the world, mostly English, France, Russia, and Japanese. Other countries are compiled by the Westernization faction to deceive the emperor!"

Look, the emperor's teachers are so ignorant that this country has to be so backward?

Being behind is not scary, but what is scary is not to change.

"How many envoys are left?" Zhu Yunhuang asked.

"There are seventeen people in total, and there are still six people!" Li Zhigang said.

"Send to the capital, and those who are sick along the way find good care of Langzhong!" Zhu Yunxiu thought, "If you stay in the inn along the way, you will be given rice and grain according to the treatment of a seventh-rank official!"

As he said, his tone suddenly became stern, "Let's check. Who led these people to the Central Plains, how did they come here, and find out for me, all the people involved will be sent to the capital!"

Speaking of this, he paused again, "I will write this to He Guangyi later, and let him transfer a team of Jinyiwei to cooperate with you!"

"My memory, follow the order!" Li Zhigang was afraid that he had nothing to do, and he would be happy even if he had something to do, even if he had something to do.

Then, he looked up and whispered, "Master, there is something else!"

"Say!" Zhu Yunxiu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"A while ago, a Lehu, who was released from a good citizen, sued the Yansheng Gonggong Mansion for invading the land of the people, and it has already come to an end!" Li Zhigang said, "It's true, but it's not a matter of such a thing."

As he said, he said, "After Yansheng Gong, he did not cultivate the virtues of a saint. The land in his hometown was all taken by Yansheng Gong, and the villagers were all tenants slaves, only know Yansheng Gong but not the court!"

"The descendants of the saints enjoy glory in the name of saints, but they don't even have any virtue in their ancestors. So what else can they talk about Yan Shenggong?" Zhu Yunsheng sneered, "I sent an order, and from then on, I was relieved of the position of hereditary county magistrate of the Confucius Family in Qufu. The amount of land occupied was found, and the people were returned to the people, as well as the people's wealth and ointment that had been occupied over the years. All the people involved were imprisoned. Should they be beheaded or exiled, and there was a judgment on the Si Pan!"

"Abolish all honors from the Confucius family, and the annual worship ceremony for Confucius will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial College. The title of Yansheng Gong... is dismissed!"

"emperor!"

Li Zhigang suddenly spoke, "I think it's a bit inappropriate to deal with it like this?"

"Oh?" Zhu Yunsheng sneered, "Why, are you scared?"
