The money that originally belonged to Descartes little had already belonged to the Inquisition after his grandfather, Mr. Descartes, entered the Inquisition.

For Mr. Descartes, it was a torment like hell in the past year.

Descartes was imprisoned in the Bastille before entering the Inquisition.

This is a Bastille built two hundred and seventy years ago. Its architectural style is a castle and is used to fight against the British.

And this fortress has witnessed countless eternal figures, the most famous of which is Joan of Arc in France.

This fortress witnessed Joan of Arc being controlled by the British Inquisition, so she was sentenced to stolen by heretics and witches, and also witnessed the French Inquisition to correct her name.

No matter what he did, in the end, Joan of Arc was burned to death, right near the Bastille.

With the cessation of the British-French war and the expansion of the Paris city later, the Bastille became a building inside the city and lost its military function.

This military facility with four acres of land and eight towers has deep ditches around the surrounding area and suspension bridges are installed.

Its walls are very thick, and it is still the commanding heights of Paris, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, Qiao Yong deliberately spent 60,000 silver dollars to buy the place, divided it into four towers and gave it to the cardinal in the French diocese to detain important prisoners.

When Mr. Descartes was imprisoned in the Bastille, his life was still very generous. He could drink fresh milk and bread every day. Every ten days, he could also see his beloved grandson Descartes and his granddaughter Emily.

Even at some special times, he could continue to discuss obscure mathematical problems with Descartes, who stayed in the Bastille.

Mr. Descartes is a strong-willed man.

Faced with the various temptations of the Inquisition, he still maintained his integrity, insisted that the new discipline is a progressive discipline and a future for mankind, and insisted on not bowing to the Inquisition.

If it weren't for the little Descartes and Emily outside the prison, Mr. Descartes even thought that his lifelong jail was not a bad thing. He could inspire more people to be inspired by him, and thus raise his chest to attack the barbaric and ignorant Inquisition.

In his opinion, the Inquisition is a cancer in this world. If the tumor cannot be removed as soon as possible, the new discipline will not have a soil for survival.

Qiao Yong still admires Mr. Descartes' integrity very much. He can even see the shadows of the ancient sages of the Ming Dynasty from Mr. Descartes. Perhaps this is a common place for mankind.

When a person's vision becomes higher, he turns a blind eye to the disaster in front of him.

In this Bastille, Mr. Descartes completed his first long-term thinking in his life, and through this long-term thinking, once again laid the philosophical proposition he deduced several years ago - I think so I am!

At the same time, he believed that humans must have a fixed reference when thinking about problems, otherwise it will be biased and incomplete. He often said: When we dream, we think we are in a real world, but in fact this is just an illusion.

This trend of thought is similar to Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies.

He likes to think about problems in a contrast manner, which constitutes a new insight into the philosophical system - dualism.

He believed that since there is God, there will be devils, death will be rebirth, and good will be bad... This statement is actually very extreme and does not look at the world in a dialectical way.

Similarly, we have not learned to use the Confucian doctrine of the mean to explain some gray areas.

For this reason, there was a great opposition in his character.

He claimed to be a devout Roman Catholic, and the purpose of "contemplation" was to maintain the Christian faith.

But in his own true expression, Descartes is accused of preaching secret deism and atheistic beliefs.

His close friend Blaise Pascal said: "I cannot forgive Descartes; he wants to leave God aside in all his philosophy.

But he could not let God touch him gently so that the world could move, and he would no longer need God.”

Qiao Yong and Zhang Liang and other envoys of the Ming Empire believed that according to the academic division of the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Descartes was at the most important moment in his life - epiphany!

After the sudden enlightenment, it was the highlight of his becoming a saint.

Just like Mr. Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty was practicing qi in the military camp, he suddenly let out a long roar, and the sound shook ten miles...

Mr. Descartes thought that when he arrived in Rome, he was on the stake. Unexpectedly, he moved into the Inquisition in Rome, and the pope who ordered him to be captured to Rome for punishment suddenly died.

Then, on a sunny morning, he left the cell and met his grandson and granddaughter who had been waiting for him for a long time.

When he left, Mr. Descartes did not deliberately thank Pope Alexander VII.

He simply believed that Alexander VII, who had received the highest secular education, was definitely a person with a broad vision. There is no need to thank him. On the contrary, the Pope should thank him - Descartes is still alive.

He thought that his head no longer belonged to him, it should belong to all France, or even to all mankind...

Although the prison did not hurt him, his weak body could not allow him to leave Rome and return to Paris immediately. Therefore, he chose to live in the sunny Rome, repair it here for a while, and by the way, he asked the Pope to seek the wealth belonging to Descartes and Emily.

In two years, Descartes had grown into a handsome boy, and Emily had grown a lot taller. However, what Mr. Descartes was most proud of was that Descartes seemed to have inherited his appearance. After just entering teenage years, Descartes had some freckles on his face, which was very similar to his teenage years.

It’s just that the hair color of the two of them is different. Mr. Descartes’ hair is black, while Descartes’ and Emily’s hair is golden.

Both the maid and the male servant stayed in Paris, France, so the only people who could take care of Mr. Descartes and Emily.

After a long night, Mr. Descartes woke up from his deep sleep. After opening his eyes, he immediately thanked God for allowing him to live another day.

However, after Emily was serving to wash, Mr. Descartes saw the rich breakfast on the table.

Especially the two roasted golden turtle doves made him even more happy.

However, when the old man brought what he thought was the turtledove meat into his mouth, Little Descartes said: "This is the pigeon meat."

Mr. Descartes immediately laughed, pointed at Descartes in a daze and said, "Those doves in the square?"

Little Descartes did not laugh and said coldly: "The Pope does not need those doves."

"This is not the Pope's fault, the last Pope is wrong."

Little Descartes picked up a piece of pigeon meat with a fork and said, "I also ate the pigeons of the previous pope."

Mr. Descartes laughed and said, "This should make sense."

After breakfast, the two Mr. Descartes began to take a walk, which Mr. Descartes little requested, and he believed that doing so would allow his grandfather to live longer.

Mr. Descartes saw the book in the hand of Little Descartes and frowned: "Are you interested in the East?"

Little Descartes said: "Yes, grandfather, I heard that there is a powerful, rich and civilized country in the far east. I really want to go there to see it."

Mr. Scar nodded and said, "From the mouths of those merchants and missionaries, I also learned some rumors about the East. I heard that there are many amazing people in the East.

If you like, I can meet you with Father Johnson Chan. He has just returned to Rome from the far east. And I heard that he has taught in the most famous university in the East and Yushan Academy for many years. I think from him, he should get the most detailed and accurate information about the empire in the East."

"Is it really OK? I mean, can you take me when you went to see Father Johnson Chan?"

Mr. Descartes pinched his grandson's tender face and said with a smile: "We made an appointment in the evening two days later. At that time, there will be a large group of people, all of whom you call a big man.

Remember to take out your favorite tea leaves and entertain them with Little Emily's cookies."

Just as their grandparents and grandchildren were talking about Johnson Tom, at the Apostles' Palace, Alexander VII was summoning Father Johnson Tom.

Alexander VII, who was leaning on a high-back chair, did not like this neat and excessive missionary, although these missionaries were the most indispensable people in the Vatican, and he did not have a good view of Johnson Cho, especially when he was infinitely exaggerating the Eastern Empire.

"Report to your Majesty, the territory of the Lantian Empire exceeds the entire Europe. They have occupied the most abundant land on the continent in Asia. Their army is extremely powerful, their ministers are extremely smart, and their emperors are also wise and terrifying."

Alexander VII looked at Johnson Chan, who was standing below and making a talk, and did not stop him from continuing to speak. After all, there were many archbishops present.

It was not the Pope himself who actually managed the church, but these archbishops in the middle of the throne.

These archbishops in the back of Johnson Chan have been sinking into the introduction of Johnson Chan.

They had no way of unimaginable what an empire larger than the entire Europe, what a country with a population of nearly 200 million would look like, and what a country that even civilians could eat and wear warmly.

"Your Majesty, I don't believe that there will be such a country in the world. If there is, their army should have come to Europe. After all, judging from Father Johnson's description, their army is very powerful, their fleet is very powerful, and their country is very rich."

A cardinal rudely interrupted Johannson's report without waiting for Father Johannson to finish his words.

Another old archbishop in the cardinal said, "They have been here twice."

The Swedish Cardinal who refuted Johnson Chan frowned and said, "Why don't I remember?"

The old cardinal sighed and said, "It seems that you have forgotten "Atira" and "Genghis Khan."

The cardinal of the Swedish diocese immediately asked Johnson Chan: "Is it them?"

Joshua Than Thani shook his head and said, "Attila was called the "Huns" in the Ming Dynasty. He was driven to Europe by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. Genghis Khan was a dynasty before the Ming Dynasty and ended by the Ming Dynasty.

Your Majesty, the current Ming Dynasty is far stronger than "Atila" and even more fierce than "Genghis Khan".

I have seen their army with their own eyes as a strict military discipline, well-equipped and invincible army. Among them, the strength of their army is not something our European dynasty can resist.

Your Majesty, if you don’t call on Europe to end the war of internal friction and unify the outside world, I think those who call themselves Han people will soon come to Europe.”

The cardinal of the Diocese of England whispered: "They have come, but they are messengers and merchants. The British maritime sturdy Earl Nelson has fought with the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and ended in our miserable defeat.
