Chapter 294, John Tang

Wei Xiaobao patted his thigh and said in his heart, "Although I don't want Liu Yizhou to become a eunuch now, but it is up to people to make things happen, it seems that God will do so." ”

Wei Xiaobao saw Liu Yizhou faint, Wei Xiaobao had no idea for a while, and bowed in the direction of Liu Yizhou, expressing his apologies and sincere condolences... Hey!

Wei Xiaobao looked at Liu Yizhou's death, it seemed that he would not wake up for a while, looked down at the water snake in his hand, Wei Xiaobao slapped the head of the water snake, and said with a smile, "You kid is really naughty, that thing is hidden underneath, so secret, it can be discovered by you, it seems that I really underestimate you." ”

However, after looking at such a long water snake, Wei Xiaobao estimated that this water snake was at least more than a catty, and Wei Xiaobao said in his heart, "This is authentic game, it can't be wasted." ”

Looking at the candlestick on the iron cage, Wei Xiaobao had another idea in his heart, and said in his heart, "I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time, and it's rare to go to prison today." With such a beautiful view, we must improve it. ”

Although Wei Xiaobao is wearing eunuch clothes, there are a lot of good things on his body, such as Western firearms, cigarettes, flying knives, nunchucks around his waist and a python belt in his hand, these are all Wei Xiaobao's personal treasures, they are inseparable, and they have also made a lot of 'war exploits' for Wei Xiaobao.

When Wei Xiaobao was about to eat, Hou Dezhong led a few guards to escort a foreigner in, Wei Xiaobao felt puzzled, and said in his heart, "What happened to this foreign devil?" Besides, it is not yet the time for the Eight-Nation Coalition to invade China, so it is not possible to treat it as an enemy. ”

Hou Dezhong nodded at Wei Xiaobao and smiled, "Gonggong Gui, you are still used to it here." I didn't suffer any grievances. ”

Wei Xiaobao knows that people take 'special care' of him. A small stove was opened. arched his hand, and smiled at Hou Dezhong, "Thank you for your care, who is this?" What did you do? ”

Hou Dezhong was originally a sharp-beaked monkey gills, plus a male duck voice, fortunately, Wei Xiaobao's endurance was strong enough, Hou Dezhong pointed at the foreigner with a smile, and said disdainfully, "You said him, it's nothing." It's nonsense, a neurotic with no ability, he went to Ao Shaobao's mansion to say that he would have some skills, and he wanted to meet the emperor, and he said that he was a liar, and this didn't let people send it in, so you should be a companion. ”

Wei Xiaobao nodded, nodding kindly to the new neighbor, and when Hou Dezhong left, he instructed a little eunuch beside him, "You go and prepare some food for Grandpa Gui." Presumably, Grandpa Gui was also hungry, so he added a pot bar. After speaking, Hou Dezhong said hello to Wei Xiaobao. And he went out with his men.

For Hou Dezhong's special care, Wei Xiaobao knows in his heart, knowing that the silver given by Zhang Kangnian has played a role, these days, money can make ghosts grind, who doesn't like white silver, if there is no money, it is estimated that people are too lazy to take care of themselves, starve to death, at most it would be good to give you a rag wrapped in it, so Wei Xiaobao didn't feel that he owed much favor, and he deserved to spend money to enjoy it.

This foreigner happened to be locked in the middle cage between Wei Xiaobao and Liu Yizhou, Wei Xiaobao looked carefully, and saw that this person was eight feet tall, quite tall, in his thirties, with a full beard, although he was not very old, the wrinkles on his face were all over the place.

The foreigner is not handsome, and he looks like this at first glance, just like the scene of a car accident, but this foreigner has a pair of bright and godly eyes, deep-set eye sockets, and two godly eyes are more conspicuous, as for blue eyes and high nose bridge, Wei Xiaobao has seen foreigners in his previous life, which is not unusual at all.

Wei Xiaobao said in English, "What's your name?" Why are they holding you? The foreigner froze for a moment, as if he had been pointed, and looked at Wei Xiaobao in a daze. Wei Xiaobao laughed, "How is it?" I'm surprised that I can speak English, is this? It's very simple, I used to go to a Western school, so it's normal to know a little English. ”

The foreigner nodded, and it took a long time to slow down, staring at Wei Xiaobao with big eyes, and then said, "My name is Adam, Schar, I am a Germanic from Cologne, Germany, I have been in China for more than ten years, I have a Chinese name, called John Tang." ”

"What, you're John Tong."

Wei Xiaobao shouted in surprise, and said in his heart, "It's so lucky, this is a cow, John Tang, others may not know, the invention of artillery and the calculation of lunar eclipses, these are all from the hands of John Tang." ”

Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but search his mind for some vague memories of John Tang, a Germanic from Cologne, Germany, who lived in China for 47 years and went through three dynasties, including the Ming, Chuangwang, and Qing dynasties. Buried next to the tomb of Matteo Ricci in Beijing. Yongzheng Dynasty was named "Guanglu Doctor", and the official was a product (first-class genuine).

John Tang made great contributions to the revision of the Ming and Qing court calendars and the manufacture of artillery, and the lunar calendar that is now used in China today was compiled by him and used by the ancients to guide agricultural production, and has been used until now. He is also the author of religious works such as "The Signs of the Patriarchal System" and "The Origin of the Bishop".

What everyone remembers most is the calculation of artillery and lunar eclipses, of course, the invention of artillery is also indispensable to another 'international friend', that is, Kangxi's enlightenment teacher, Nan Huairen missionary.

Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but think that after Shunzhi's death, it seemed that he worshiped the dictatorship, and he didn't treat these Western devils very well, if he hadn't been met by himself, maybe Tang Ruowang would be executed by Ling Chi sooner or later.

Wei Xiaobao asked about the reason why Tang Ruowang was imprisoned, and Tang Ruowang also squeaked and couldn't explain clearly, but said that he calculated the lunar eclipse, was framed, and was comforted by Ao Bai and others, 'plotting to rebel; heresy confuses the people; The absurdity of the calendar's trumped-up charges.

Wei Xiaobao also learned that Nan Huairen was also imprisoned together, but because Nan Huairen was Kangxi's teacher, he was given 'special care' by Ao Bai and locked up in the prison where heavy prisoners were held.

Wei Xiaobaoxin said, "It seems that Ao Baige didn't take Kangxi in his eyes at all, he was arrogant and arrogant, and he was about to ride to other people's necks to pee." ”

Thinking of Kangxi, who was about the same age as himself, was not only pitiful at a young age, but also treated like a puppet, Wei Xiaobao felt a nameless fire rise in his heart.

Since in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Wei Xiaobao pretended to be Xiao Guizi and entered the palace to help Kangxi get rid of Aobai, catch the fake queen mother, save Shunzhi, etc., and made six major contributions, then now that he occupies Wei Xiaobao's body, no matter what, he has to do something, the headquarters can be a traverser by himself, and he can't catch up with a little scoundrel, not to mention that Aobai has a grudge against himself.

Wei Xiaobao saw that Tang Ruowang had just come in, and he was not injured yet, and it seemed that he had not been tortured yet, so he couldn't help but feel relieved, Wei Xiaobao comforted, "Old Tang, you don't have to worry, I will save you soon, you have a lot of ability, I know this, and the emperor will definitely reuse you when the time comes." Rest assured. (To be continued.) )
