Mary Stuart's life was full of pathos, she was the first king in European history to be guillotined, and Zhang You's deepest impression of her is that before the execution, she calmly said to the executioner, don't be nervous, finish your work.

From this small detail, it can be seen that she does not have the slightest fear of death, and this alone is enough to be admirable.

"All the tragedies of Her Royal Highness come from the Earl of Darnley, who is nothing but handsome......"

"Is it her second husband?" Zhang You asked a little uncertainly.

Mary nodded and said in disgust: "It's him, this Elizabeth's tired mistress is insatiable and mean, I can't figure out how Her Royal Highness could have taken a fancy to him in the first place." ”

Zhang You vaguely remembered something, and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Elizabeth seems to have been declared an illegitimate daughter by her father, right?" This seems to have come from her conflict with Mary Stuart, who, according to Catholic doctrine, seems to be more qualified than Elizabeth to inherit the throne of England..."

"Your Excellency knows so well, where did you hear all this?" Mary said with emotion, although Zhang You didn't have much respect for Queen Mary between her words, she still admired her very much.

"I know a lot," Zhang You smiled very happily, and even diluted the sadness brought to him by Li Yan's departure, no wonder people love to pretend to be 13, this is really a very pleasant thing, especially when the object is still an exotic **, this pleasure is even stronger: "I even know that even though Mary has been reduced to a prisoner, those Catholic French people have always secretly supported her to replace Elizabeth's place." ”

Mary had already begun to get used to Zhang You's omniscience, and said with a wry smile: "That's useless, Elizabeth has finally controlled the threat to the throne, how can she easily let those people's wishes succeed?" In fact, with their support, Alfred and I organized no less than five rescues, but unfortunately the guards were too tight, all of them ended in failure, and the last time, even myself and Alfred were exposed, and we were hunted down by Elizabeth and those Anglicans, but thanks to the merciful Father Luo Mingjian, we were able to cross the ocean and come to Daming. ”

Zhang You smiled: "So, you and Alfred are not real clergymen at all?" ”

"No, no, no," Mary shook her head, "Alfred and I are both graduates of Cambridge University Divinity School, and both are devout Catholics..."

"Wait a minute," Zhang You suddenly thought of a question: "Isn't Father Luo Mingjian a representative of Protestantism?" ”

Mary suddenly laughed and said, "It's not easy for adults to finally say the wrong thing once... The priest, who has two doctorates in theology, joined the Society of Jesus a long time ago, is the backbone of the Holy See! ”

Protestantism is the Christianity in the mouth, and like Mary's Anglican religion, it is a split from Catholicism, the difference is that the ruler at the top of the Anglican Church is the king of England, while the Christians are those who are dissatisfied with the corrupt Roman Curia, and still believe in God...

For the Chinese people who have been in contact with gods and ghosts since childhood, the complexity of these things is tantamount to sorting out a mess.

Zhang You remembered that the first missionaries to come to China were those Protestants, and then he took it for granted that Luo Mingjian was the backbone of Protestantism, which made such a fuss.

But he didn't feel embarrassed at all, just kidding, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in your God, it's not easy to remember so many things, you have the ability to compare acupuncture with me.

"Tigers also take naps...... By the way, if you can get the permission of our emperor to legalize your missionary work in China, the Holy See will definitely reward you, right? ”

"Not only the Holy See, but also those Protestants are very keen to make God's blessings sound throughout the vast Ming Empire, so if we can really get the permission of the Ming Emperor, even if Elizabeth is still unwilling to let me and Alfred go, I am afraid that she will not be able to resist the powerful power that can be generated by the union of the old and the new religions...... In the face of huge interests, who is the queen of England may not be so important. ”

"No wonder your brother is so enthusiastic about this matter, not only coveting that glory, but also thinking of using this to save Marystuart from prison?"

"It's all made the adults see through it...... Since your lordship knows so much about our affairs, don't you sympathize with Her Highness's plight at all? ”

Under the moonlight, Mary's big blue eyes shone with hope. This made Zhang You a little touched, and he originally had an attitude of not having a match for this matter, but at this moment he couldn't help but start to get serious - it shouldn't be a bad thing to personally support a figure who has influence in both Catholicism and Protestantism, even if he can't change the fate of the tragic queen, if the situation is critical in the future, at least there will be a place of exile.

Moreover, for those European countries, the power of the Church has long been above the royal power, and if Alfred can be put on the papal throne, wouldn't it be a thing to boast about and quite a challenge?

"Your Excellency!" Unable to wait for Zhang You's response, Mary couldn't help but scream.

"What's wrong? …… Oh, don't worry, I'll do my best in this matter. Coming back to his senses, Zhang You said.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the sound of beating is heard in the distance, listen carefully, it turns out that it is more than half of the hour, and it is already late at night.

Zhang You had the intention to invite Mary to have an "in-depth" exchange, but he was afraid that it would be too abrupt, so he could only suppress the thoughts in his heart, take his eyes off the other party's towering chest, and deliberately yawned: "It's not early, it's been a busy day, let's rest early!" ”

Mary was still unsatisfied, but Zhang You had already turned around, so she had to reluctantly say goodbye.

After returning to the room, Zhang You first ran the innate Taoist true qi in the dantian for two weeks, and then he had a dream for half a night, which was bizarre and unbelievable, and after being woken up, he couldn't recall anything except for the wet pants.

"It's early in the morning, the house is on fire or what..."He glared at Qian Wugua with some dissatisfaction, but Lao Qian was not afraid, rubbed his hands and said: "It's not early, the sun has caught the young master's buttocks...... Don't stay in the guest before dawn to wake up, the old slave interrogated for a long time, this kid didn't say a word, it's similar to the mud tire in the temple, the young master has a lot of ideas, or you go and see. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Youdeng was in good spirits, and while no one else took off his dirty pants and quickly put on a new one, he scolded with a smile: "Old Qian, you are stupid enough, no wonder you can't get Geng Sun's family for so long, you can't even ask for a confession, just find a piece of tofu and kill it!" ”

"Young master, don't talk about it, don't you be able to handle Miss Lanqi...... He is the top figure in the killer list, his mouth is stronger than the barrel of your gun, not only the old slave, but also the brothers take turns to fight, and no one can ...... him."

"Really? I can't imagine that the bones of **** are quite hard, Lao Tzu really doesn't believe in evil, go, take a look! ”
