Prince of Chaos

After talking about Lanzhou and Jiubian with Xing Jie, Zhu Changluo finally set his sights on Zhang Weixian and Xu Xigao.

At this moment, the two had been waiting for a long time.

Zhu Changluo picked up the teacup on the case and took a sip of tea, and said in a low voice, "How are the preparations of Jixian Military Academy and Tianjin Weijun Academy?"

Zhang Weixian and Xu Xigao said: "It's ready, and we can compete at any time."

The smile on Zhu Changluo's face suddenly became wider, "Don't even win Zongxue. In this case, not only you will lose face, but Gu will also lose face."

Zhang Weixian and Xu Xigao looked at each other, and replied: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, if you can get the first place, you will never get the second place!"

Zhu Changluo smiled even happier, "Okay, I will remember what you said. It is the first time for Jixian Military Academy and Tianjin Wei Military Academy to compete in Xishanhuangzhuang. I hope you can get a good result! As a soldier, the most important thing is honor .”

"Gu hopes that the two of you can bring Gu's words to the students in this competition and let them remember Gu's words. No matter what the ranking is this time, as long as you can play with the style and temperament of a soldier, Gu will be satisfied."

Zhang Weixian bowed and said: "I will definitely bring back His Highness's oracle, so that the Jixian students will know His Highness's good intentions!"

Xu Xigao replied in the same way.

Zhu Changluo looked at the expressions of the two, and he was in a great mood.

Every year, Xishan Three Hospitals and Zongxue will have a huge joint sports meeting, and this sports meeting will also attract countless people from Xishan Huangzhuang to watch and cheer every year.

This time, Zhu Changluo's whim also involved Jixian Military Academy and Tianjin Wei Naval Academy.

Its purpose is to cultivate the collective sense of honor of these students, so that they can better understand the importance of the collective.

Because, any war is not a matter of one person, and a moment of courage can have miraculous effects, but in the final analysis, fighting a war is still a group of people's tactics.

The myth of taking the head of an enemy general among millions of troops may exist, but in this era when weapons and equipment have begun to evolve in an all-round way towards firearms and artillery, personal bravery is not so important anymore.

Now, the most important thing is the cooperation of strategy and tactics!
As long as these cooperation are done well, it is possible to win a war in the end.

After Zhu Changluo explained a few more words to Zhang Weixian and the others, he encouraged them, and then let Zhang Weixian and Xu Xigao retreat.

Zhu Changluo continued to talk to Xing Jie: "For the people of the prairie who belonged to me, I think it is still necessary to be cautious. After all, these people are used to being wild on the prairie, and they have come to the relatively restrained Ming Dynasty. For them, this may be in terms of living habits. There will still be some gaps.”

"So, Gu believes that when governing these people, we should divide them and not allow them to live together. What's more, we should arrange titles for some of their small leaders so that they can play the role of appeasement and governance."

"Of course, such people must be strictly scrutinized, and people with ulterior motives cannot be allowed to become the opinion leaders of these attached grassland people."

"There is also the issue of intermarriage between the people of the grassland and the Han people. In this matter, in principle, Gu does not interfere. However, there is one thing that must be implemented to the end. That is, all offspring of intermarried people, regardless of whether one of the parents is Han or grassland. People and children must be registered as Chinese citizens and have Chinese names.”…

"The Orphan Association will order the Ministry of Households to prepare a special bank for the education of these children. The Orphan Association will set up free schools in the towns of Jiubian. All children of the right age must complete five years of education in the Jiubian Free School. Basic education. Make these children subtly recognize the identity of Ming Dynasty and the words of Confucian sages."

Zhu Changluo is well aware of the importance of education.

Although, there are still many people in Daming who can't study and can't go to school.

However, at this moment, Zhu Changluo needs to clarify the seriousness.

The people inside the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether they can read or not, they are already obedient citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and they agree with the rule of the Ming Dynasty very much.

However, the People of the Prairie are different.

They were so used to it, no matter how generous Zhu Changluo was to them, as long as they felt wronged, they would still rebel.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo must pinch the flame of rebellion from the source and educate their children to be obedient citizens of Ming Dynasty.

In this way, within one or two generations, these grassland people will naturally forget their original identities and learn the way of life of the Han people.

Of course, during this process, there must be some restless people making trouble.

However, Zhu Changluo is not worried about this, because various industries in Xishanhuangzhuang and various mines in Ningxia have always been scarce of mining workers.

As long as these people dare to do something, Zhu Changluo will never talk about it. Zhu Changluo will immediately let them feel the enthusiasm of Daming for ZTE construction.

Let them spend a happy life in the dark mine!
Xing Jie listened to Zhu Changluo's words, and he replied: "I will definitely do it."

Zhu Changluo hummed: "That's hard work for Xing Qing. The Nine Borders is the top priority of Ming Dynasty. Whether the Nine Borders can be stabilized is not only related to the safety of Daming's northern line, but also related to the basic national policy of opening up the Western Regions."

"If so, the grassland has been restless, and the court not only has to spare energy to deal with them, but also worry about their delay in the court's opening up of the Western Regions."

"Therefore, we must be cautious and cautious in this matter, not only be gentle, but also tough! Don't be stingy with rewards for obedient people who keep their own way, and make an example of those who destroy unity. Peace cannot be exchanged for compromise. .”

"Gu only believes that any peace is fought and killed. Without the tempering of blood and fire, there will never be a long-term peace!"

Xing Jie bowed and said: "My minister, I would like to follow His Highness's instructions."

Zhu Changluo looked at the clock next to him, and said: "The rest of the matter is like this. After you go back, you can discuss it with the Military Aircraft Department. You should ask the cabinet to help, so don't be polite. I believe Mr. Wang and Master Dong , They are all ministers who understand righteousness."

Xing Jie said: "Yes, I understand."

Then, Xing Jie resigned.

Just after Xing Jie resigned, Zhu Changluo said to Sun Xian: "Go and call Matteo Ricci in."

When Sun Xian heard Zhu Changluo's words, he immediately called Matteo Ricci.

Matteo Ricci has hesitated for more than half a year.

Matteo Ricci has gone through countless ideological struggles in the past six months, and he is really unwilling to give up this opportunity to preach so easily. …

However, Zhu Changluo's conditions were so harsh that he gave up the Western Holy See and rebuilt the Catholic ancestral home in Daming.

In Matteo Ricci's heart, this is simply unimaginable.

He always thought that such behavior was betraying the Pope and the Holy See, and it was an act of heresy.

However, Matteo Ricci hesitated when he thought that if he compromised with God's holy light, he could shine all over the east.

Therefore, after more than half a year of ideological struggle, Matteo Ricci finally figured it out.

He wants to spread the holy light of God, not the holy light of the Catholic Church. Therefore, as a devout Catholic, Matteo Ricci decided to sacrifice the ego to complete the ego.

Let the holy light of God shine on the land of the East.

Matteo Ricci followed Sun Xian into the main hall of Ciqing Palace, and in the main hall, Matteo Ricci skillfully greeted Zhu Changluo with the ceremony of Daming's kowtow.

"Your Highness, Matteo Ricci."

Zhu Changluo looked at Matteo Ricci, whose face was still a little pale, and said, "Please, Li Qing. Has Li Qing visited Xishan Hospital recently?"

Matteo Ricci replied, "I've been there before, it's just an old problem."

Zhu Changluo said with concern: "Since Xishan Hospital can't cure Liqing's disease for the time being, why don't I arrange for the imperial physician from the imperial hospital to show you and prescribe a few health-preserving prescriptions for nourishing the essence and strengthening the foundation."

Matteo Ricci thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. The purpose of my meeting with Your Highness this time is to preach."

Zhu Changluo became energetic when he heard this.

Zhu Changluo looked at Matteo Ricci, "Have Li Qing considered it?"

There was a flash of struggle in Ricci's eyes, and then he replied: "I have thought about it clearly. Taixi is a hundred thousand miles away from the East. If you blindly keep the old-fashioned way, it is indeed inappropriate to regard the Holy See of Taixi as the head of the Eastern religion. Therefore, my minister May His Highness be able to confer the title of God the Righteous God, so that the Holy Light of God can shine on the land in the east."

Zhu Changluo smiled when he heard Matteo Ricci's words.

That's right.

Without canonized gods, how can we enjoy the worship and incense of the world?

Therefore, if these foreign gods want to gain a foothold in Daming, they must apply for a Daming ID card and become the legal gods of Daming before they can accept the belief and incense worship of mortals.

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, now that Li Qing has thought it over clearly, Gu will order the Ministry of Rites to connect with you and prepare for the canonization ceremony of Taixi God."

After Matteo Ricci heard this, a big stone in his heart was finally relieved.

Matteo Ricci said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace."

Zhu Changluo said: "You don't have to thank Gu. If you want to thank you, thank you for your persistence. It was your piety that moved Gu, so Gu gave you this opportunity. I hope you can make good use of it. Guide Taixi to others The teachings of goodness are preached to the general public."

Matteo Ricci kowtowed excitedly and said, "I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness's trust."

Zhu Changluo looked at Matteo Ricci who was so excited, he sighed and said: "Mr. Li, go back early and take good care of your body. After the Ministry of Rituals is finished, I will make you the first Bishop of Daming Taixi."

Matteo Ricci's tears came out immediately, and the wish for many years was finally coming true.

Matteo Ricci thanked her with tears, and finally left Ciqing Palace. …

Looking at the back of Matteo Ricci who left, Zhu Changluo sighed and said: "He is also a person of sincerity and sincerity. Gu admires such a person very much. It is a pity that different ways do not conspire with each other. Gu can only live up to his sincerity. gone."

Zhu Changluo said to Sun Xian again: "Go and call Master Dong. I have to explain to him about God Taixi."

Sun Xian looked at the crown prince who had been busy for a day, and said distressedly: "Master, it's time to rest. Why don't you call me again tomorrow."

Zhu Changluo looked at Sun Xian and said, "There are still things to do tomorrow. If you finish today's things today, you can have a good and comfortable rest."

Sun Xian replied in a low voice: "Yes. The servant girl will go to Xuan Dong Ge Lao."

Now Dong Qichang is also called "Ge Lao".

To reach such a high position at his age really raises eyebrows.

Thinking back to the time when Zhong Huamin returned to Beijing with the help of disaster relief in Henan, his limelight could firmly overwhelm Dong Qichang, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him the crown prince's first close minister.

It's a pity that Zhong Huamin still can't change his mind, can't figure out Zhu Changluo's thoughts, and can't keep up with Zhu Changluo's pace, so now he is lost to everyone.

However, Zhu Changluo thought of him again when opening up the Western Regions this time.

Zhu Changluo promoted him to be the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the prime minister of military and political affairs in Shaanxi and Lanzhou. I hope he can seize the opportunity this time.

If he still doesn't understand Zhu Changluo's major national policies and Zhu Changluo's grand plans and great achievements, then it's almost time for him to retire and return home.

After all, the position of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu is extremely important.

The future is the rear support for the development of the Western Regions. If there is no capable personnel to stabilize the basic situation of Shaanxi and Gansu, it will be a disaster.

Fortunately, Zhu Changluo understood Zhong Huamin's ability to govern the land, knew that he could be regarded as an official in the local area, and knew how to adapt to local conditions, so Zhu Changluo gave him another chance this time.

After Dong Qichang received Sun Siam's call, he immediately put down his cabinet affairs and followed Sun Siam to Ciqing Palace.

The people in the cabinet watched Dong Qichang being called away by Sun Xian alone, and everyone cast envious eyes.

Since Dong Qichang came to the cabinet, he has been summoned alone almost as many times as Chief Assistant Wang Xijue.

This is almost impossible in normal times.

Normally, even if the crown prince wanted to summon the cabinet to discuss politics, he would order the chief assistant to enter the palace more often.When the second assistant was summoned, almost always when the entire cabinet was summoned, he would have the opportunity to see the crown prince's sky.

Now, the style of painting has changed.

Dong Qichang seems to have become another center in the cabinet.

Fortunately, Wang Xijue is not the kind of person who is obsessed with power, so he can treat Dong Qichang's meeting with the crown prince alone with a normal heart.

After all, Dong Qichang has an identity that is unmatched by any of them.

Dong Qichang is the tutor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

With this status alone, no one can compete for Dong Qichang's favor.

Unless Dong Qichang made a mistake himself.

It's a pity that Dong Qichang is an extremely shrewd person, he understands people's hearts too well, he is too good at flattering, and he is too good at flattering people. …

How could a man like this make a mistake?
Even if he made a mistake, as long as it is not a big mistake of principle, who can bring him down?
Therefore, Dong Qichang's position is definitely more secure than anyone in the cabinet.

Following behind Sun Xian, Dong Qichang asked in a low voice: "Eunuch, what happened when His Highness summoned you?"

Sun Xian also smiled when he heard Dong Qichang's whispered question.

If this kind of question is asked by another person, Sun Xianli will not bother. After all, he is the person next to the crown prince. If his mouth is so weak, then how can he continue to stay by Zhu Changluo's side?

However, there are always exceptions.

For example, Dong Qichang is the exception.

Dong Qichang is qualified to know some questions, so Sun Xian replied with a smile: "Don't be impatient, Mr. Ge, it must be a good thing for Your Highness to find you. Before you, His Highness met Matteo Ricci and talked about the God of Taixi. "

Dong Qichang realized instantly that it was this trivial matter.

Dong Qichang felt more at ease.

From Dong Qichang's point of view, this matter is not a matter at all.

For a foreign religion, if it wants to gain a foothold in Ming Dynasty, in addition to having reliable religious teachings, the more important thing is to be obedient.

After all, since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty has suffered a lot of religious losses.

In recent times, things like the White Lotus Sect are not good.

Those who engage in Buddhism or not, or those who practice Daoism, think about rebellion every day.

Any emperor who is in power of such a sect will get rid of it quickly.

After all, this uncontrolled sect is a restless time bomb, and God knows what it will explode into a loud thunder.

According to some gossip, the founding of the Ming Dynasty is inseparable from the White Lotus Sect.However, Emperor Taizu didn't recognize it, so successive emperors Chengzu, Renzong, and Xuanzong all severely cracked down on the White Lotus Sect.

He believes that the White Lotus Sect is an evil organization that encourages people to rebel.

Therefore, Daming has always been extremely cautious when dealing with religious issues.

Dong Qichang followed Sun Xian to the Ciqing Palace, and Zhu Changluo saw Dong Qichang arriving.

Before Dong Qichang could salute, Zhu Changluo said first, "Master Dong, there is one thing I would like to entrust to you."

Dong Qichang replied respectfully: "Your Highness, please teach me."

Zhu Changluo said: "Just now Matteo Ricci came to find Gu. He came here for the affairs of the Taixi Sect. To be honest, Gu is very wary of the Taixi Sect."

"After all, in Taixi, the theocracy of their Holy See has completely suppressed the kingship of the kingdoms in various places. It is said that when the kings of Taixi take the throne, they must have the Pope's permission to inherit the throne."

"Such a sect with a strong desire for control will spread in Daming. To be honest, Gu is very worried, and even has trouble sleeping and eating."

"That's why I summoned you here to discuss the Taixi religion. I want the Ministry of Rites to manage Matteo Ricci's Taixi religion according to the model of the Senglu Division and the Daolu Division."

"At the same time, Gu also needs to completely change the title and sect etiquette of the Taixi religion. For example, the officially established Taixi religion cannot be called God, nor can it use the old name of the Nestorian religion in the Tang and Song Dynasties."

"In addition, some etiquettes of the Taixi religion have to be localized, such as burning incense and praying and meditating and chanting scriptures. These must be learned. They cannot be carried out according to the original Taixi religion. Everything must be done according to the habits of Daming."

"We also want them to classic the Our Father. When translating, we must emphasize the authority of the Son of Heaven. For example, in the first sentence of the opening sentence, 'God said that there should be light, so there was light', this sentence must be translated into 'God said that there should be light'. Light, only after receiving the permission of the Son of Heaven, can there be light.'”

"I don't want an uncontrolled and alternative sect to take root in Ming Dynasty. What I want is a localized and harmless sect. Therefore, I hope Master Dong can seriously understand the meaning of Gu and handle the affairs of the Taixi sect. it is good."
