At this time, Tang Ruowang regretted it, if he knew this, he wouldn't let Xu Guangqi speak. Cold sweat kept pouring out, pooling and dripping down his face.

Hu Guang glanced at Xu Guangqi and immediately said loudly: "Their so-called governor of Luzon coveted the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty, and began to explore the shipping lanes of Fujian and Guangdong earlier, and drew nautical charts, and held a meeting on Luzon Island in April 1586 to discuss the invasion of our Ming Dynasty. Am I wrong to draw up a memorandum containing 11 articles and 97 articles, signed by the Governor of Luzon and their Catholic bishops, a total of 51 people, and submitted to the King of Spain? ”

If he were to say this to other courtiers, he might not understand it. But Xu Guangqi has been in contact with these Xiyi for a long time, so he naturally knows more things, and knows when 1586 AD is.

At this time, Xu Guangqi heard that the emperor was so specific, there was a time and place, and there was a name and a content, and he didn't need to answer with Tang Ruowang, so he already believed ninety percent.

Suddenly, he was very disappointed in his heart, and there was a faint feeling of being deceived. I saw that Xu Guangqi immediately turned his head to look at Tang Ruowang and the others, and shouted: "Is there such a thing? ”

Previously, John Tang first denied that they had other intentions to come to Daming, and later denied that they had any connection with those colonists, but now this time, there is the bishop's signature on that document, how can he deny it?

But if you admit it, not to mention whether you can continue to spread the doctrine in Daming, even a few of them are likely to not be able to get out of the Forbidden City alive.

Tang Ruowang didn't have the heart to pay attention to Xu Guangqi's question, and involuntarily reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and then stammered: "I...... I don't know...... I don't know what happened on the Luzon side. ”

"You don't know? I'll tell you about it! Hu Guang sneered when he heard this, and then immediately said, "In that document, the matter of the invasion of my Ming Dynasty was discussed in detail, including the transfer of troops from the mainland, as well as the conscription plan from India and Japan. Among them, the post-war plan is your Catholic share! ”

"You plan to build a large number of schools after the occupation of the Ming Dynasty to instill Spanish culture in our Ming people; A large number of churches were built to spread the Catholic ...... There are even plans to set up 58 archbishops, bishops and archbishops in our Ming Dynasty. Is there such a thing? ”

Listening to Emperor Daming say it so clearly, as long as a discerning person listens to it, he knows that this should not be made up. Tang Ruowang and the others were already so frightened that they couldn't speak. They had never imagined that Emperor Daming would know them so well. These things, no matter how eloquent they are, cannot dissociate themselves from the relationship between the church and the suzerain.

"Back to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I ...... We really don't know what happened before. Tang Ruowang forcibly gritted his teeth and said, "Look, after so much time, you ...... Didn't you say these things happen? ”

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he thought to himself, Your Majesty has said so much, it stands to reason that you can always hear a little splash, right? But there doesn't seem to be any relevant report in Fujian and Guangdong!

Thinking about it like this, he was a little skeptical that there would be something wrong with the emperor's words, so he turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen to see how he answered?

"Huh!" Hu Guang sneered when he heard this, "Your Spanish king formed the so-called Invincible Armada, and before he had time to send troops to the Ming Dynasty, he was almost completely annihilated by the British in the northeast sea of Calais. In addition, the rise of Amsterdam has left the Spanish king no longer able to take care of things thousands of miles away. ”

Tang Ruowang and the others were speechless, and the Ming Emperor's familiarity with his hometown was far beyond their estimates. Even the location of the great war is known, and even the situation of the countries is known to each other.

"Ding, +1 achievement from Missionary John Soup!"

“……”

Hearing the system's prompt again, Hu Guang knew that these missionaries just kept their mouths open and refused to admit it. He waited for a while and didn't see their reply, just wiped his sweat vigorously, and said coldly: "Don't worry, I won't kill you." ”

As soon as he heard this, John Tang and several other missionaries glanced at each other, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that today was really dangerous.

But before they could say anything, they heard the Ming Emperor say loudly again: "If you cut off all ties with Europe in the future, I can allow you to preach in the Ming Dynasty, but the teachings you spread must conform to the customs of our Ming Dynasty, and your preaching must be controlled by the imperial court like Buddhism." In return, you have to teach Western studies. If one can't be done, expel it immediately, and ban me from re-entering my Ming forever! ”

The fact was too big for them to answer for a moment. John Tang and the others looked at each other, and no one had the courage to reply immediately.

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he was deeply disappointed when he watched their reactions.

After a long while, Tang Ruowang bowed to the emperor and said with little confidence: "Please also respect Your Majesty the Emperor, can you give us a little time to think about it?" ”

Hu Guang sneered in his heart, and immediately snorted coldly: "I'll give you a day!" ”

Then, he issued another order: "Escort them back with brocade guards, supervise them not to wander around, and when the time comes, if there is no affirmative answer, they will be expelled immediately." Missionaries from other parts of the Ming Dynasty were also expelled! ”

Tang Ruowang and the others turned pale, and under the escort of the captain of the Jinyi Guard, they had to leave the palace.

After Xu Guangqi watched them disappear at the gate of the palace, he turned around, suddenly knelt on the ground, and said in a tone of shame: "The ministers have been deceived by them, and they still want to speak for them, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"Xu Qing, let's be flat!" When Hu Guang saw it, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "This matter is beyond Qing's cognition, Qing doesn't know the situation in the West, and he doesn't know what they are doing outside the Ming Dynasty, so it is naturally impossible to see through their fundamental intentions." No wonder! ”

In fact, even later generations of people believe that these missionaries are really kind, promote cultural exchanges between China and the West, and make great contributions.

Only those who love history can see from a large number of facts that these missionaries have always been the vanguard of Western colonizers. For Hu Guang, there was a hypothetical discussion in later generations, which made him remember more deeply, that is, the Philippine governor's proposal to launch this war against the Ming, if it really came to pass, which side would win?

And all of these, for the Ming people of the era, Xiyi all look the same, and there are so many distinctions. Failure to recognize the essence is naturally excusable!

The emperor was so magnanimous that Xu Guangqi was even more ashamed. He was ashamed of his narrow vision, ashamed of the frog at the bottom of his well, and only after secretly making up his mind in his heart did he thank him again.
