Ai Ruluo is 10 years older than Johnson Chan. One of them came to China in the 38th year of Wanli and the other came to China during the Apocalypse period. The former is now the bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Macau and has always maintained close contact with Johnson Chan.

In the past, Ai Ruluo's letters were mostly asking Johnson Chan about the attitude of the Qing royal family towards Catholicism and what Johnson Chan did to the development of Catholicism in Beijing. At the same time, he also told Johnson Chan about some interesting stories from the Holy See from the West. Therefore, every time he received a letter from Ai Ruluo, Johnson Chan was very happy, but today's letter made him unable to be happy and was very embarrassed.

In this letter, Ai Ruluo changed his previous vague attitude towards the current situation in China and asked Joshua Johann Chan clearly whether the Ming government's regime in the southwest could still drive the Tatars out of China. If it was not possible, Ai Ruluo must immediately send back information to the Roman Catholic Church that China had been formally ruled by the Qing Dynasty. This means that the Eastern Catholics led by Ai Ruluo will no longer support the Ming regime in southwest China, and also indicate that they have given up their efforts in the Ming royal family, along with the crown prince who was called "Constantine".

In terms of love, Johnson Chan was still very close to the Ming Dynasty. Xu Guangqi, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, and his student Sun Yuanhua, had a good personal relationship with him. He also spread Catholicism in the palace of the Ming Dynasty. Those who were baptized were Pang Tianshou, the eunuch of the Southern Ming Yongli regime, and others. He also supervised the artillery for the Ming Dynasty and oralized the principles and techniques of cannon casting, manufacturing, storage, transportation, performance and setting off the artillery, gunpowder preparation, and shell manufacturing. He compiled it into two volumes of "Fire Attack" and one volume of "Fire Attack" for reference by the Ming government.

Therefore, although the Ming Dynasty is still only a small piece of land in the southwest, even if the Qing emperor respects him like his grandfather, Chau Wang still couldn't bear to abandon the Ming Dynasty. He even fantasized that the Ming army could come to Beijing again, but unfortunately this fantasy had never been realized.

God, what should I do?

Johnson Chan was very distressed. In Ai Ruluo's letter, not only asked him to give a clear answer, but if this reply was not conducive to the Ming Dynasty, then Ai Ruluo hoped that Johnson Chan could use his identity to persuade the Qing emperor to immediately send a condemnation army to destroy the Ming army that was suffering and torture by the Westerners in Macau. They were also called the Taiping Army.

"Their leader is a young scholar, oh, yes. The Chinese call him a scholar. But obviously this scholar doesn't like Westerners, and even scholars. He always likes to scold people and receives the Portuguese messengers with a humble attitude. He has repeatedly threatened to send troops to attack Macau and let the Westerners in Macau get the last drop of blood. In fact, this young scholar is indeed doing this. They have been blocking the Guanao City Wall for more than two months. During this period, no food can be transported into Macau, which has caused many people to suffer from hunger, including many children...

The monks of St. Paul's church were also hungry and asking for God's blessings, and the students in the seminary were almost out of food. I sent someone to ask for this leader who did not like Westerners, and my people told him clearly. We are the messengers sent to the East of the Roman Catholic Church. We are the mission of the Pope. We are for peace and the gospel of God. We are also respected and recognized by your court. Therefore, we are friends, and you should not treat your friends like this. However, our friendship is exchanged for the other party's abuse and rough treatment. God knows what he thinks, and he actually calls us thugs and accomplices of imperialism!

Oh my God, what kind of word is imperialism and what does it mean? I can't understand, if imperialism is a very bad term, then I think this young scholar is the thug and accomplice of imperialism. He hates the West so much and Catholicism so much. He is a very unfriendly young man. He is an imperialist! ...If you have already made a choice, please help me and help these God's people in Macau!"

Tang Ruowang put the letter in his arms and led the eunuch to the Xubai room in Xiyuan. When he arrived, he found that the young emperor was fiddling with something. The long table in the house was filled with bottles, jars, jade bowls, beakers, Tianping and other utensils, and the square table was filled with books. The thread-bound "Compendium of Materia Medica" and several hardcover German books were particularly eye-catching.

"Mafa, I'm making medicine."

When Shunzhi saw Tang Ruowang coming, he was very happy and waved his hand to come over and see him with a smile.

Zhuo Wang looked over with a smile. The young emperor was trying to transform amber into a strange liquid, but he didn't seem to find the right method. He had been working for so long but hadn't made amber oil.

Under the guidance of Tang Ruowang, Shunzhi finally made amber oil, and he turned to make pearl powder. Instead of asking Tang Ruowang to help, he searched the books and made them by himself. After a while, he made them. After carefully packaging them, Shunzhi laughed and pointed to the packs of pearl powder and said, "Mafa, I estimate that each bag of pearl powder is worth ten taels of silver!"

"If the value collected by the emperor himself is added, I'm afraid it will be more than one hundred taels!" Tang Ruowang stroked his curly long beard and smiled lovingly.

"Is that right?" Shunzhi was obviously very happy. "I want to take half of my mother to honor my queen, give it to the imperial concubine ten packs, and give it to Mafa the rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, God will reward you for your kindness." Johnson Chan shook his head at this time and sighed, "Since the Fourth Prince was summoned by God, you have lost a lot of weight."

"yes!"

Shunzhi also sighed. The prince born to Concubine Dong E felt very distressed. When the fourth prince was born, he even decided to make this son the crown prince. Who would have thought that the fourth prince's blessing would be so weak?

Thinking of his son who died prematurely, and thinking of the pain of Dong Efei losing his son, Shunzhi felt a headache. He sniffed and tried his best not to think about this sad thing anymore. He asked Tang Ruowang, "Mafa, why can't a person push a mountain?"

The young emperor's question was obviously very strange and sudden. Tang Ruowang was stunned and said, "Of course a person can't push a mountain because his power is too small."

"No, I think it's because the mountain is too big and heavy!" Shunzhi shook his head, remained silent for a moment, and said softly: "Mafa, I dreamed last night that I was pushing a stone up the mountain. The pines and cypresses on the top of the mountain are green and the sea of ​​clouds are spectacular, and the sun rises. But the more I push it, the more I am trying to push it, and the more I am pushing it, the more I am trying to move, but the stone grows into a mountain. Not only do I push it, but once I let it go, it will press it towards me, and I will break my bones!" At this point, Shunzhi stopped and looked at Tang Ruowang with a hint of expectation: "Mafa, will you realize your dream?"

"Please forgive me, I never believe that. There is an old Chinese saying, "I think about it every day and dream about it at night. Your Majesty, you think too much during the day." Johnson Chan didn't want to let himself be impressed by many talismans in the emperor's heart.

Shunzhi stared at Tang Ruowang for a long time before whispering: "Mafa, you must understand, but you don't want to tell me. Do you know, I have been doing something these days, but I can't do it anyway. This makes me very angry and feel powerless, as if I, the emperor, did a lot of failure."

Shunzhi told Joshua Thanh about the matter that he wanted to dismiss the meeting of the Political Kings to set up a cabinet, which was opposed by all the princes and princes.

After hearing this, Chau Wang drew a cross on his chest, folded his hands and sighed, "Lord, forgive these poor sinners!" He warned the young emperor like a finger-wrenching elder, "Emperor, decent Chinese people are particularly concerned about face. Many people never admit to being afraid of death. They always give high-sounding reasons: the old mother is in the church, the children are young, etc. as excuses for fear of death... So in my opinion, the princes in the political affairs are clearly greedy for power, but they use respect for the ancestors of heaven as a guise to resist the emperor's changes... They are really sad!"

"Yes, they are such people, sad people!"

Shunzhi became excited again. Tang Ruowang's words really came to his heart. The reason why Ji Du and others refused to support him was not that they were greedy for power and were afraid that the emperor would seize their power!

"Your Majesty, there are other solutions to the matter. As long as you use your brain, there will always be solutions."

"I have already thought of a way to deal with them. Aren't they going to demote all the Grand Secretary to the sixth rank? I'll give it a regular example, and the Grand Secretary is also a sixth rank, and it's still a second rank. Let's see what they say!"

"The emperor thought of it and should do it so that the emperor's heart could be truly stable."

"Well, I will definitely do it. I want to tell them that the things I decided will continue. They will definitely not be able to obstruct them. I will not roll this stone to the point where I can't push it!"

The excited Shunzhi was so happy that he was happy, but he didn't notice that his Mafa Tang Ruowang sighed, and his forehead was wrinkled violently, as if he had something difficult to describe.

Finally, Shunzhi discovered something wrong with Joshua Chan. He hurriedly asked with concern: "Mafa, what's wrong with you?"

When Chau Wang looked at the young emperor, he thought about it repeatedly. In the end, he still said, "Master, my friend in Macau has encountered some trouble."

"Oh, Mafa's friend? Mafa quickly tell me, what trouble did they encounter?"

"The Emperor really wants to know?"

"Marfa's friends are my friends, and their troubles are my troubles. How can I not want to know!"

"Okay, then I'll tell the emperor."

Johnson Chan decided to completely abandon the Ming Dynasty, and he told Shunzhi what Ai Ruluo said in his letter.

After hearing this, Shunzhi snorted angrily: "It's the Taiping Bandit again!"

"The Emperor knows them?" Tang Ruowang looked at Shunzhi in surprise.

"I know that this is a tributary bandit. But Mafa doesn't worry. I will issue an order to send troops to wipe them out immediately. I will never let Mafa's friends be bullied by these bandits!"
