    In the chapel of Priest Egger, a European in his thirties, wearing a plain Confucian shirt, sat opposite Bishop Andre!

    This person¡¯s name is Tang Ruowang, and he is also a very famous person in the history of later generations!

    Tang Ruowang was born in Cologne, Germany, and was a Catholic Jesuit missionary. In the forty-eighth year of Wanli (1620), he moved to Macau several times, and later settled in Beijing and lived in China for 47 years!

    Not only did this man go through the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, but he also believed in Matteo Ricci's "integration of Confucianism" and had extensive knowledge of Chinese culture. He was appointed an official in both the Ming and Qing dynasties!

    Especially in the Qing Dynasty, Tang Ruowang even reached the position of Supervisor of Qintian Prison. However, Tang Ruowang's ending was not very good. When he was an official in the court, he also promoted Catholicism to recruit believers, which was very taboo at the time.  thing!

    In the Ming Dynasty, because the academic style was relatively open-minded, no one paid attention to what Tang Ruowang did. However, in the Qing Dynasty, the academic style became narrow-minded, and Tang Ruowang, an alternative, became a target for those who were interested!

    In particular, Tang Ruowang did not know how to assess the situation. He did not know how to restrain himself when someone in the court impeached him. He also vigorously promoted the theory that Chinese civilization originated from the West, and even said that the teachings of Confucius and Mencius were obtained by Chinese saints who believed in God!

    This directly stirred up a hornet's nest, and Tang Ruowang ended up being executed in Lingchi, but in any case, Tang Ruowang was also the most accomplished Jesuit missionary in China after Matteo Ricci.

    But now history has changed. Although Tang Ruowang still came to Beijing according to historical inertia, it is unknown what his fate will be!

    "Bishop Edward, when I arrived in Tianjin, a captain from Rome gave me a letter and asked me to deliver it to you. The main purpose of my visit to you today is to deliver this letter to you!"  After introducing each other, Tang Ruowang took out a letter covered with lacquer and handed it to Bishop Edward!

    "Thank you very much for bringing me a letter from the Holy See!" Bishop Edward took the letter, looked at the mark on the seal and said, "I have been waiting for this letter for more than a year!"

    "The Ming Dynasty is too far away from Europe, and there are too many dangers at sea, which makes communication between the two places extremely difficult. It took me one year to get from Europe to the Ming Dynasty, and Bishop Edward was able to spend one year communicating with the Ming Dynasty.  Europe is very lucky to exchange news. I think this must be God blessing this important communication!" Tang Ruowang said with a humble smile on his face!

    At this moment, Tang Ruowang behaved very much like a Chinese Confucian scholar, which made Bishop Edward look very awkward!

    "With all due respect!" Bishop Edward looked at Tang Ruowang and frowned: "Your current actions have deviated from God's teachings, so I advise you to return to the right path as soon as possible!"

    "I don't think so!" Tang Ruowang had obviously heard many such doubts, and he said naturally: "The Ming Dynasty is a very strange place. The people here have an independent and powerful belief system. If we want them to convert to the embrace of the Lord,  We need to integrate into their culture first, and when the people of Ming Dynasty believe that their current prosperity and strength are the gift of the Lord, I believe that the glory of the Lord will shine on this land by then!"

    ¡°This is too difficult!¡± Bishop Edward shrugged while opening the letter: ¡°The people here are all polytheists. They cannot believe in the Lord exclusively. I even think that asking people here to believe in the Lord is a disservice to the Lord.  Blasphemy!"

    "Your Majesty, Bishop, I think Pastor Tang Ruowang's idea is correct. What we are doing now is incompatible with the culture and people of the Ming Dynasty. It is difficult to spread the glory of the Lord. Perhaps we should integrate first, as Pastor Tang Ruowang said.  It would be much easier to join the Ming Dynasty¡¯s cultural system and then spread the Lord¡¯s faith!¡± Priest Aige obviously supported Tang Ruowang¡¯s approach and couldn¡¯t help but express his approval!

    ¡°I don¡¯t think so!¡± Bishop Edward unfolded the letter and said: ¡°The Lord¡¯s teachings cannot be changed. If the teachings we spread are inaccurate, then do believers still believe in God?¡±

    "Great!" Suddenly Bishop Edward stood up and said in surprise: "His Majesty the Pope has agreed that I will be the plenipotentiary representative of the Holy See. This time the negotiations with Ming Dynasty can continue!"

    It is a pity that Bishop Edward did not know that His Majesty Gregory X who wrote this letter had passed away in July, and now the Pope of the Holy See has been replaced by His Majesty Urban VIII!

    "This is great!" Priest Egger also said happily: "The bishop should complete the negotiations with Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Ming Dynasty becomes stronger and sets its sights on America or even Europe, it will be too late!"

    "That's right! Dear Priest Egger!" Bishop Edward said excitedly: "Me too"What do you think, Ming Dynasty is like an evil dragon now. If the emperor really wants to gain benefits in America, no one can stop him!  "

    "You two! I think your ideas are unrealistic!" Tang Ruowang shrugged: "I have been in Ming Dynasty for nearly two years, and I don't think that Ming Dynasty is capable of pursuing interests in the Americas because of their navigation.  The technology is too immature, but I agree with what Priest Aige said. The Ming Dynasty is developing very fast now. If this development rate is followed, they will be able to send fleets to America in only three to five years!"

    "Then I will sign an agreement with them before Ming Dynasty develops to this point. I hope that through this agreement, Ming Dynasty will stop its progress, and it is best to restore it to its original appearance!" Bishop Edward clenched his fist and said!

    Priest Egger wanted to persuade the bishop that it was impossible for the emperor to stop Ming Dynasty, but he stopped when the words reached his mouth because he thought of his sister's words!

    There is no secret in the Ming Dynasty that can be hidden from the emperor's eyes and ears, so you must be cautious in what you say and do. As long as you are within the scope of the emperor's permission, you will be fine, but as long as you go beyond that scope, you will probably be exposed by those terrible Dongchang fans.  It was taken!

    Priest Egger felt that discussing the future direction of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty had seriously exceeded that scope, so Priest Egger consciously shut up. He did not want to affect the relationship between his sister and the emperor because of himself!

    It¡¯s just that Bishop Edward doesn¡¯t know what Priest Egger is thinking. At this moment, he is still immersed in excitement!

    "Dear Priest Egger, I appoint you as my assistant to help me complete this negotiation with Ming Dynasty. As long as we can reach an agreement with Ming Dynasty, whether you stay in Ming Dynasty or return to Europe, you will have a bright future!" Bishop Edward held up his hands.  Putting his hand on Priest Egger's shoulder, he said!

    "Thank you for your trust, I will do my best to help you do the best!" Although Priest Aige had his own little girl in mind, he still happily accepted the appointment!

    "Dear Bishop Edward, I also hope to participate in this negotiation, and I believe that with my ability, I will be of great help to you in the negotiation!" At this time, Tang Ruowang also stood up and said!

    "You also want to participate in the negotiations?" Bishop Edward obviously didn't like Tang Ruowang, so he hesitated. However, he then thought that he was short of manpower now, and it might be a good choice to have Tang Ruowang help!

    "Thank you very much for your help. Then I will appoint you as my second assistant. Your work will be the same as that of Priest Aige. Help me collect information and complete this negotiation with Ming Dynasty!" Bishop Edward raised his chin and said to Tang Ruowang!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
