Ming Zuo

Chapter 443
Now that it's done, it's thorough.

Zuo Menggeng didn't soften his hands because of Wang Zheng's death and life.

Instead, in his view, it was an opportunity.

In contrast, the problem between Wang Zheng and Shen's is not a problem.

"Kui Xingong, you have really gone astray."

A sentence of emotion made Wang Zheng look at it in astonishment, regardless of his grief.

"Why did Zhongheng make such a statement? This old man has been self-reliant all his life, and he has worked hard to do good. He has never had any evil thoughts when he was an official, a person, or doing things. How can he say that he is going astray?"

Zuo Menggeng had seized the opportunity.

"Kui Xin Gong, you have dedicated yourself to God, is it true?"

Wang Zheng got up in awe, and said solemnly: "I have long been influenced by God, and I am determined."

Zuo Menggeng made a sudden attack.

"Then whose official are you?"

Everyone was shocked, and everyone was confused by this surprising angle.

Is there any conflict between believing in God and being an official?

Wang Zheng was slightly annoyed, and protested: "The old man has been up and down for decades in his official career, he has been conscientious and hardworking, and he has never been negligent. Even if he dies a hundred times, he will have no regrets, so what's wrong?"

How did he know Zuo Menggeng's insidiousness?

"Dare to ask Kui Xingong, with the ambition of a public, how do you choose between God and the king?"

Wang Zheng's thin body couldn't help shaking, and he was at a loss for a while.

He had never thought about Zuo Menggeng's question, and he had never even heard of it.

Perhaps this is the first time someone has put the Chinese king and the Western God together and made people think about their relationship.

Luo Yagu was frightened, and quickly turned around and said: "Zhongheng, you don't know something. God created everything in the world, and we humans are also the grace of God. This is different from the emperors in the world, and we cannot generalize."

Zuo Menggeng looked over sadly.

"My Chinese emperor is called the son of heaven, the son of heaven. Mr. Luo, according to your explanation, my Chinese emperor is not as good as your Western gods?"

A bone-piercing chill swept through his body, making Luo Yagu tremble, and he dared not speak at all.

He never expected that Zuo Menggeng's question would be so vicious.

Of course he knew what was going on with the emperor in the East.

That is to regard oneself as a unique power creature in the sky and the earth, except for the illusory heaven, to be above everyone's head.

Dare to say that God is greater, more powerful, and more authoritative than the Son of Heaven, and guarantee that the Son of Heaven in this world can make the believers of God shed blood like rivers.

This is also one of the reasons why the church has not been spreading smoothly in China.

He just didn't expect that Zuo Menggeng would use this angle to push Wang Zheng into a corner.

"Kui Xingong, as an official in the court, you should be loyal and loyal to the king. But you also worship God as your standard, so where will you send the king?"

Wang Zheng was so flustered by the reprimand, he tried his best to explain: "Although we believe in God, we are also loyal to the imperial court. The world can learn from it."

He had no idea how many explosive things Zuo Menggeng had prepared for him.

"In Europa, the servants of God, that is, the church and the Pope, are above the kings of all countries. They are unscrupulous in taking life and death. Dare to ask Kui Xingong, if the Catholic Church makes you abandon the king and be loyal to God alone, How should you choose?"

Wang Zheng was dumbfounded.

He looked at Deng Yuhan and Luo Yagu with difficulty, hoping that these two could clear up his doubts.

But as everyone knows, Deng Yuhan and Luo Yagu were also shocked.

Just because what Zuo Menggeng said is the truth, the Catholic Church in the West is so domineering, it is above all kingships and countries.

But in the East, this is simply unimaginable.

Wang Zheng used to be an official of the imperial court, and judging from his actions, he can be called loyal.

In the original history, when Li Zicheng captured Xi'an and asked him to be an official, he would rather die of hunger strike.

Because of this, Zuo Menggeng seized the opportunity to use the conflict between faith and loyalty to force him to recognize the reality and change his mind.

Wang Zheng seemed to have fallen into the vast ocean, with strong winds and waves roaring from all directions, as if every blow could bury him.

He couldn't struggle, tried hard to find hope, and finally saw a ray of hope.

"Mr. Xuan Hu, you are a role model for my generation and a senior in the officialdom. Please also guide the younger generation."

Wang Zhengxun went to Xu Guangqi.

To say that the most famous Catholic in China is undoubtedly Xu Guangqi.

Moreover, Xu Guangqi's achievements in officialdom are also the highest, after all, he was a cabinet minister.

Many people who believe in God undoubtedly regard him as a benchmark.

Wang Zheng's confusion and entanglement are not a problem at all for Xu Guangqi.

The old man has been through ups and downs all his life, and he has already seen through the confusion and built a strategic plan.

"Liangfu, where do your body, your skin, your hair and five sense organs, your words, deeds, knowledge, and your spirit and consciousness come from?"

Wang Zheng didn't dare to neglect.

"Body and hair are taught by parents; knowledge and spirit are taught by teachers."

Xu Guangqi said slowly: "Not only the body, hair, skin, but also the spirit of learning, are all branded by me in China. This is your root, and it is the foundation of your existence in the world. Can you understand?"

Xu Guangqi is telling him that no matter what religion you believe in, your root is in China, and you are a descendant of China.

As long as you understand this point, you will not make mistakes, and you will know how to choose.

Xu Guangqi's opening words made Deng Yuhan and Luo Yagu look sideways frequently.

They suddenly discovered that it was the first time they understood the depths of Xu Guangqi's heart.

This person who was originally considered by them to be the best friend, best believer, and best achievement of the church unexpectedly chose his homeland in the end.

Wait, they don't seem to believe in God very much either, so why should they care?
Reminiscent of their own situation and the leisurely life here, Deng Yuhan and Luo Yagu wisely abandoned their thoughts that they shouldn't have.

God and the church don't like their learning, and they may be sent to the Inquisition anytime.

Thinking of the terrible burning, the two Western "missionaries" immediately decided that they had heard nothing here today.

Wang Zheng was shocked and fell into deep thought.

As for when the relationship between belief and foundation can be figured out, no one knows.But at least after this time, he finally stopped mentioning the issue of reconciliation with Shen.

According to Xu Guangqi's explanation, even though he believes in God, since he lives in China, he should focus on local ethics.

So here, having a concubine is not a fault.

God is to blame?

When God comes here, he must abide by the rules here.

For these aspects, Xu Guangqi can be said to be a master.

He was already learning and being wary of the West, but he always kept it deep in his heart, and only told the closest people.

But now that Zuo Menggeng's career is getting bigger and bigger and his foundation is gradually stabilizing, Xu Guangqi doesn't have so many worries.

Of course, he enlightened Wang Zheng in this way, in addition to determining the nature of the matter, he actually had a deep meaning.

The old man glanced at Zuo Menggeng indiscriminately.

this little guy...

In the future, he will be an emperor.

Zuo Menggeng naturally didn't realize Xu Guangqi's deep meaning, but since he started, of course he had to reveal his purpose.

"Speaking of the church, I do have some opinions here. Tell me, and everyone can help you to look into it. As far as I know, the church originated from the Hebrews, but the Hebrews were later destroyed by the cannibal ancestors. Some teachings are divided into three, and each is called orthodox. But I don’t know, who is orthodox?”

The scene was silent, and no one could answer.

Even Xu Guangqi and Wang Zheng don't know much about Western religious history.

Their religious knowledge was conveyed to them by Western missionaries, and it is estimated that no missionary would tell them the story of "Separation of Three Families" in a boring way.

That's asking for trouble.

Deng Yuhan and Luo Yagu knew about it, but they were even more shocked that Zuo Menggeng even knew about this kind of thing, and they were frightened stupid.

Zuo Menggeng walked on the right track with a smile.

"I looked at the past of Europa, and learned that Qin, Greece and other countries that once created brilliant civilizations have long been annihilated in the long river of history. The history of the birthplace of the church is now even more controversial, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. , Only in China, the history continues and continues. When it comes to the rigor and authenticity of historical materials, you should be the respect of the world. Mr. Deng, Mr. Luo, and Kui Xingong, you have already committed yourself to God. Why not make great wishes and borrow Can we re-determine the authenticity of the church with the historical materials of China? Perhaps, the chaos in the church today can be easily resolved.”

This time, let alone Deng Yuhan, Luo Yagu and Xu Guangqi.

Even Wang Zheng, who had been greatly impacted physically and mentally, reacted.

This young leader actually wants to reinterpret Western religions.

What is he doing?
