Qin Rui has never been the kind of troll who trumps aloofness and likes to stand on the commanding heights of morality when encountering things, and keeps talking to others. As long as it has nothing to do with the people he cares about or the conscience of being an official, he is too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

The case of the father and son of the Fan family is not only the officials who neglect their duties and are overly ill-involved, but also the perfect interpretation of human selfishness. It can be said that this human ethics tragedy has their own reasons and factors from external influences.

And this external factor is exactly what the Fan family and his wife said to be "Lord", that is, their religious beliefs.

Qin Rui did not despise the old foxes and corrupt officials in the officialdom, nor did he despise Xue Huaiyi. "Physical workers" like Chen Nanmiao were all for the purpose of supporting his family. His virtues and eating habits were a little different, but they also had the right to survive on their own.

But those charlatans who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but are actually full of thieves and prostitutes. They use the so-called theories of gods and Buddhas to fool the people, and not only suck their bones and marrows to them, but also call them "Saving people" and "forgive their sins". It is shameless.

Moreover, the representative of charlatans is often the bald donkey with no hair on their heads and numb tongues. It is the first time that it involves foreign religions such as "Master", so this makes them wonder whether the Tang Dynasty is currently facing a silent and ideological cultural invasion.

Zhou Jitong was an old official for many years. He didn't know anything about the 108 yards of Chang'an City. So Qin Rui specifically asked about the "master" and saw if what the Fan family said was the same as what he was serious about.

Not to mention, Qin Rui was really asking the right person. Zhou Jitong was at home in Guiyifang, and there was a street called Yifang Street. There was really a church called "Daqin Temple" there. It was full of red-haired and blue-eyed guys, which were even more like a ghost.

"Li Jian, I'm going to tell you, my head hurts when I see those who look like ghosts when they look like ghosts!"

"What is the origin of this Daqin Temple? Who allowed them to preach? Is there a record for Jingzhao Prefecture?"

Zhou Jitong understood that when the Fan family was drinking tea in the back hall, they would be the master. The Lord kept fiddling and claiming that the "unfilial son" was convicted. They could get something for the long time, which was the blessing of the "Lord".

What's more important is that when the servant dragged them down, the couple also used the so-called "master" to curse Qin Rui and Fan Yong. Needless to say, this must have hit the prince's lung tube, so they were angry.

"It's good to see, this is the Nestorian Church, and we don't have any control over this!"

"Preaching under the order? Isn't it necessary? Brother Zhou, what are you kidding? They are fooling me, the people of the Tang Dynasty, and skillfully change their thoughts, and downplay the human relationship that my ancestors have set for thousands of years. It's like playing the piano randomly!"

As soon as Qin Rui said this, Zhou Jitong was shocked and immediately stood up. After seeing no one left and right, he moved the chair next to Qin Rui and comforted him with a vain hand: "My son-in-law, my brother, I dare not say that. This order was given by Emperor Taizong."

What? "Brother, what are you kidding? How could Emperor Taizong issue such an order? Let the good people of the Tang Dynasty become believers of the "Master"?"

Of course, when he said this, Qin Rui's confidence seemed not very strong, because Emperor Taizong's later years of taking the pills refined by the Indian monks, and finally ruined his body, so he died at the age of fifty-one.

Nowadays, people see the great achievements of Emperor Taizong, but they forgot that Emperor Taizong in his later years was like Emperor Wu of Han, and he was not ordinary insanity. He made the Nestorian missionary work like he could do.

"Hey, don't believe it. This Nestorian affairs were not only allowed by Emperor Taizong, but also the two prime ministers Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng? It's interesting!" Zhou Jitong said in a divine manner.

The Qin family moved to Luoyang in their early years, and Qin Rui was not very familiar with people and things in Chang'an in his cognition, so Zhou Jitong's words really aroused his interest. This guy is the son of Princess Linchuan and a local household. He must have more than himself!

After Qin Rui asked for advice, Zhou Jitong, who was holding the teacup, played with the teacup while speaking in a memory tone. In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Aroben, a Nestorian from Persia, went to Chang'an to preach, and took the official guide to find the then Jingzhao Yin-Chun-Heng.

Because of the diplomatic relations, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, who were in charge of government affairs in Hongwen Hall, attached great importance to it and reported it to Emperor Taizong in a timely manner. They were then welcomed in the western suburbs and led to the palace. During the interview, Emperor Taizong was attracted by the novel theory he said.

He translated the Bible into Chinese characters and explained: "Mishihe" means "Messiah, the Savior", "Trial Body" means "Trial" God, and Aroben and his believers usually call themselves "Nestolites".

The attracted Emperor Taizong issued an edict that Alauben could freely and publicly preach in the country (helping things and benefiting the world, and it is suitable to travel around the world). He also built a church on Yifang Street, which is the "Daqin Temple". There were bishops and missionaries living in Daqin Temple at that time.

Due to the convenience of public missionary preaching under the order, a group of loyal believers soon had a group of loyal believers in Guanzhong. They thought that "the Dharma flows through ten roads and the temples are over a hundred cities." After the late emperor ascended the throne, he even named Bishop Alaben as the "Dafa King of the State" and ordered the establishment of Nestorian temples in various states across the country.

Today, Nestorianism has spread throughout the major cities of the Tang Dynasty, and the capital Chang'an has also become the center of Nestorianism. Qin Rui used to live in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, but Buddhism is prosperous there, so it is not very eye-catching.

"According to what you say, they are still a powerful sect now? They are an existence that cannot be provoked!"

"What do you think?" Zhou Jitong immediately replied, he felt that there was no need to conflict with religion because of one or two cases, which was not worth it!

"They developed in the Tang Dynasty for decades, stayed in my arms, lurked in the royal capital, and controlled the people through the so-called will of God! Then do you think these bewitched people believe in the Lord now? Or the emperor?"

Seeing Zhou Jitong frowning, Qin Rui added: "Brother, don't you understand this yet? If all believers are like the Fan family and regard the Lord as more important than the law, will there be another Yellow Turban Rebellion break out?"

Qin Rui knew very well what Nestorians, that is, Catholics, had done in Europe. They were already above the imperial power, and even if they had to be granted the title of the emperor, they would be what good birds these people could be.

Today in the Tang Dynasty, they were wearing a layer of compassion for the world to develop their power. Who can guarantee that this is not a dormant, waiting for the world to be in chaos, and then secretly controlling the country's major policies?

Not to mention anything else, just saying that they have built so many churches in various places is not to show the ambition of wolf? You must know that there are no such examples in the Central Plains before, otherwise would Tuoba Tao and Yuwen Yong destroy the Buddha?
