Chapter 1065, don't want to spread it in my Daming
Inside the study room of the Qianqing Palace.
"It's unreasonable. These barbarians dare to bring weapons into the capital of our Ming Dynasty. It seems that our Ming Dynasty is too tolerant to them."
Emperor Hongzhi seemed very angry, and his precious son was almost in danger.
He was just a son, and the empire of the Ming Dynasty was still counting on Zhu Houzhao to inherit and continue. However, he did not expect that at the feet of the emperor, these people from the Holy See would dare to draw their swords and aim at the current Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.
This is Emperor Hongzhi's reverse scale, a forbidden area that must not be touched.
Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, Zhu Houzhao on the side curled his lips indifferently. He had so many palace guards to protect him, so if anything could happen, some barbarians would have nothing to fear.
"Your Majesty, in fact it is not just these people from the Holy See who brought weapons into our capital."
"Because the size of our capital is getting larger and larger, and the population is increasing. At the same time, our Ming Dynasty is the most powerful empire in the world. There are many businessmen, travelers, etc. from various countries who come to our capital of the Ming Dynasty, and some of them carry... Weapons entered the capital of our Ming Dynasty."
"Shuntian Prefecture has reported similar things many times. Korean and Japanese warriors brought weapons into our country and hurt people. In addition, there are many tribes in our country, and many tribes are brave and martial, and like to carry bows and arrows. , many such things have been reported in various places.”
When Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, heard this, he quickly stood up and said.
"Hmph~"
"What do they think I am?"
"To actually bring weapons into my Ming Dynasty, this does not take my Ming Dynasty seriously at all."
"According to my decree, from now on, local governments, border gates, and important places must strengthen inspections of tribes, vassal states, vassal states, and foreigners. The key point is to check whether they have brought them into our country."
"If anyone is found carrying weapons into our country, the weapons will be seized. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
"Especially in the Beijing-Tianjin area, strict inspections must be carried out. Any individual or group without authorization and reporting is not allowed to carry weapons. Violators will be punished with treason!"
Emperor Hongzhi was really angry. Something almost happened to his precious son, which was absolutely unforgivable. Fortunately, nothing happened to Zhu Houzhao, otherwise Emperor Hongzhi's anger would have spread to the whole world.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Zhang Mao, Liu Jin and others quickly responded in unison.
Liu Jin lowered his head, but he was thinking about himself in his heart.
To be honest, you can’t really blame anyone for carrying weapons. In this era, going out is extremely threatening. There are robbers and bandits everywhere. Carrying some weapons is also for self-defense.
As for the cases of barbarians and some minority tribesmen running rampant in the Ming Dynasty and bullying people with weapons, there are definitely some, but they are definitely rare.
The current Ming Dynasty is not the future generation. The barbarians are despised everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world and is fighting in all directions. Who dares to come to attack the Ming Dynasty?
When these barbarians arrived in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they were all very honest. Wherever they dared to cause trouble, the government of the Ming Dynasty always faced its own people.
"This is good. It's time to take good care of the barbarians, tribes, and people living in vassal states living in the Ming Dynasty, and let them know who is the master of the Ming Dynasty."
Thinking of this, Liu Jin also smiled slightly.
I get annoyed when I think of some things before time travel. In later generations, Satisfaction is superior in this land and enjoys far more power than the owner of this land. In addition, there are too many people in later generations who worship foreign things.
As for the various infuriating things that happened.
Looking at the Ming Dynasty now, the situation is completely different.
The people of Ming Dynasty are not only the real masters in their own territory, but they are extremely noble even if they travel to all over the world. No one dares to provoke the people of Ming Dynasty easily, because behind the people of Ming Dynasty, there is a powerful Ming Empire supporting them
.
"Your Majesty, Cardinal Leo, the papal nuncio, seeks to see your majesty, hoping that your majesty can forgive the recklessness and ignorance of his men."
"At the same time, I hope to discuss with His Majesty what is happening in Hong Kong and to allow the Holy See to preach in our Ming Dynasty."
At this time, Fu Han, the Minister of Rites in charge of external affairs, stood up and said.
"No see~"
"You tell them that Hong Kong is an overseas colony of my Ming Dynasty and a territory that belongs to my Ming Dynasty. Since it is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, then we should do things according to the rules of our Ming Dynasty. Tian Erniu has done a good job in Hong Kong. Those who
Churches that impose arbitrary taxes should be cancelled.”
"In this matter, the Holy See had better not meddle in its own affairs, otherwise our Ming Dynasty's anger will not be so easily appeased."
"His subordinates cursed the prince and threatened the prince. This is already a capital crime. The crime is unpardonable. All of them must be executed!"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately said it without thinking.
"As for the missionary matter, what do you think?"
After hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, all the ministers fell silent.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been only two religions in our country, Buddhism and Taoism. These two religions have always advised people to do good and not to do evil, and they have been very helpful in educating the people of our country."
"But if temples and Taoist temples develop too vigorously, it will not be a good thing for our Ming Dynasty. Since ancient times, there have been many incidents of destroying Buddhism, mainly because the development of Buddhist temples will occupy a large amount of land, and at the same time, the monks in the temples are not engaged in production.
It depends entirely on the support of believers. Once there are too many monks, it will inevitably affect the country and the country."
"Since ancient times, there have been many eminent monks in temples, but there are also all kinds of monks and Taoist priests who use Buddhism and Taoism to deceive, defraud, and are lawless."
"I believe that not only should the expansion and development of these temples be restricted, but also strict restrictions should be placed on various foreign religions, and they must not be allowed to spread in our country, the Ming Dynasty."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Jin was naturally the first to stand up and express his position.
We must not start this matter, otherwise Christianity will come in today, Christianity will come in tomorrow, and Hinduism will come in the day after tomorrow. By then, Ming Dynasty does not know how many people will be affected by these various religions.
Deception and deception will ultimately leave countless disasters for future generations.
"Yes, Father, you must not let them in."
"As far as I know, here in Europe, the kings of each country must be crowned by the Pope in Rome before they can be considered a truly legitimate king."
"In addition, churches in various European countries have great power. They can collect tithes from believers and sell indulgences, etc. This will inevitably bring a heavy tax burden to the people of Ming Dynasty."
"Here in Hong Kong, the Governor of Hong Kong felt this, so he canceled the church's privileges and confiscated its assets. Although they don't seem to be doing any harm to our Ming Dynasty now, over time, the number of believers will increase.
, they will even subvert the country of our Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Houzhao also spoke.
"Tithe?"
"Indulgences?"
"What's this?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately asked in confusion.
“Tithe is a tax established by the Christian church based on what their Bible says: one-tenth of the fruits of believers’ labor belongs to God. It requires all believers to give one-tenth of the property they receive.
Leave it to the church.”
"As for indulgences, they are a kind of coupon invented by their church. The Holy See propagates that everyone is born with sins and must believe in their Lord to wash away their sins and enter heaven after death. And
The way to wash away sins is to buy indulgences. The more you buy, the more sins you can atone for."
Zhu Houzhao also explained quickly.
"That's nonsense~"
"It's just a lie to deceive people and make money."
When Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but say.
"No, this is a way for them to make money."
"Here in Europe, the Holy See has the greatest wealth, and it also has its own army and violent institutions to suppress all heretics and enemies."
"They behaved very gently at the beginning, but once they gain a firm foothold and develop enough followers, they will immediately reveal their ferocious faces."
"They are different from our Ming Dynasty temples and Taoist temples. These foreign monks can marry and have children, drink wine and eat meat. They do not have any practice. Their ultimate goal is to establish divine authority and
Divine power is higher than imperial power."
"In Europe, if any king dares to go against the will and rule of the Holy See, he will immediately be mercilessly attacked by the Holy See. They are far more terrifying than the Buddhism and Taoism of our Ming Dynasty."
"Of course this is not only true for Christianity, but also for YSLJ, Hinduism, etc. In fact, it is similar to Buddhism. The situation here in Uzbekistan is similar to that in Europe. The monks in the Buddhist temples have supreme power and also control the most wealth.
.”
Liu Jin nodded solemnly.
"Dangering the imperial power, imposing heavy taxes on the people, and competing for power and wealth~"
"There is no way this kind of religion can be spread in our country, the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi immediately said very firmly.
As for the ministers around them, they all nodded. For them, they also felt how terrible this religion was. If they were allowed to spread wildly, the dominance of Confucianism might even be shaken.
.
Whether it is the ruling class of Ming Dynasty or the ordinary people of Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty does not need these foreign garbage things.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are currently many foreign missionaries in our huge territory of Ming Dynasty who secretly enter our country to preach. I believe that the imperial court should attach great importance to this matter and conduct a major purge of those foreign missionaries and strictly prohibit them.
