Love, the people are absolutely 100% loving to us!

Eunuch Wei’s expression is pleasant, and looking at Westerners’ speaking, it makes people feel comfortable.

What do you say the old saying?

Yes, foreign monks can recite scriptures!

The missionary who praised Eunuch Wei was named Steller, a very typical Chinese name. He was a Portuguese and set off from Lisbon, Portugal, to the East with Kinnige. Unfortunately, because there was some delay in Macau, Father Matteo Ricci had already passed away when Steller arrived in Beijing.

The successor to the president of the Jesuits in China was the Italian Long Huamin, a missionary who was born into a Sicilian aristocrat and looked down on China very much.

For example, Matteo Ricci believed that the Chinese worship of Confucius and ancestors was a good custom, so the church should allow believers to participate, while the Longhua people regarded worship of Confucius and ancestors as superstition and did not allow believers to participate. This caused heated discussions between missionaries and believers, resulting in the division of missionaries in China into two factions.

One school advocates being close to the wisdom, following the customs of the countryside, and combining Catholic doctrine with traditional Chinese customs, thus helping the Chinese accept Catholicism.

Another faction, in the Chinese terms, may be the "royalists", or conservatives, who are unwilling to change Catholic doctrine and want to maintain the "original" Catholicism.

Matteo Ricci's faction obviously belongs to the former, and the Long Huamin faction is the latter.

As Long Huamin became the president of the Jesuits in China, some of Matteo Ricci's policies during his lifetime were naturally changed, which made Guo Jujing, Kinnige, Steelon and others very dissatisfied.

This time, Stallone went south with Kinnige and others, hoping to return to Rome from Macau and ask the Pope to allow Chinese priests to preside over religious rituals in Chinese and allow locals to serve as priests. At the same time, he begged the Pope to agree to translate the Bible in Chinese.

These are also Matteo Ricci's greatest wishes during his lifetime. If the Pope can agree, it will undoubtedly greatly promote the spread of Catholicism in China and better gain the recognition of the Chinese.

Of course, the most important thing is that these measures will greatly hit the Longhuamin faction.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Even missionaries have power struggles.

Even the Pope competed among many bishops.

Originally, Kinnige was preparing to return to Rome by himself, but after receiving the invitation from Sun Long, the eunuch of Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving, he changed his mind and hoped that Stellen could go to Rome by himself.

Although he has not been in China for a long time, Jinnige clearly knows that eunuchs are an important part of the Chinese government's power and have a special influence.

And this influence can directly contact the supreme ruler of the Ming Empire!

The spread of Catholicism in China has always been the upper-level route, and the religious people developed are mainly local officials and gentry.

For example, Li Zhizao, a senior official of the Ming Empire who went south together, was baptized and became a devout Catholic.

It was also with the help of many Li Zhizao that the Catholic Church was not banned in China and was received by His Majesty the Emperor.

Now, a high-ranking eunuch takes the initiative to invite Jinnige to Hangzhou to preach. The significance and temptation are so great that Jinnige cannot resist.

If he can carry forward the Catholic cause in Hangzhou, he may not be unable to become the president of the Jesuits in China in the future.

Stellone's mind is much simpler, and he is actually a kind person.

He was willing to return to Rome unconditionally and requested that the Pope be able to deliver the gospel and save the lost lamb in the East.

He never thought about personal fame and fortune.

He really wants hundreds of millions of Chinese in the East to become Catholics, and he always cares about Chinese people who are poor and sick.

And those officials who truly care about the sufferings of the people under their rule are also the ones that Stallone respects the most.

Unfortunately, he had never seen such a person, or he had seen too many hypocritical officials.

Therefore, after being rescued, he could not suppress his gratitude and excitement and sincerely praised the young Ming Dynasty official in front of him.

The command of "Save the people first, then save foreigners" is not a gospel to missionaries who are also in danger, or even a nightmare, but in the ears of the Chinese, isn't it God's gospel?

Stallone had no hatred at all, but believed that an official who could value the lives of his country's people more than outsiders must be the best official in this country.

If such officials can accept Catholicism, it will undoubtedly be the greatest luck of Catholicism.

Even if he is likely to die due to the other party's orders.

However, he will forgive this young official, and God will definitely forgive him!

Although Stellen could not represent all the priests, his life was saved by this official. Therefore, Guo Jujing, Jinnige and the foreign merchants also came over to express their gratitude to Eunuch Wei for saving his life.

Eunuch Wei knew God very well and the missionaries in front of him even more. After roughly understanding the identities of these people, he had some ideas.

So, he asked Oda to prepare props for him.

The Westerners also soon learned that the eunuchs from the Ming Empire were saved, not the local officials here.

In addition to being surprised, they looked at the young eunuchs of the Ming Empire with more curiosity.

Li Zhizao also remembered the scene of seeing Father Ricci attending His Majesty the Emperor and presenting a map of the nations, with a complicated look.

Eunuch Wei didn't have time to pay attention to Li Zhizao's view of him. He slowly raised his hand and said to the Western priests: "Actually, you don't have to thank me, because I did not order to save you first."

"It is precisely because of this that you are deeply loved by the people and deserve our respect!"

Stallone bent down again, then stroked his forehead with his finger.

Seeing this, Guo Jujing and others did the same thing.

No matter what, they all survived.

Surviving is enough.

"Everyone is the innocent child of God, and everyone is equal before God. Whether it is my Chinese people or you foreign people, we must save you in times of crisis. However, we cannot convince ourselves to save you first, because we are the officials of the people, and we cannot let go of our people and save you first..."

Eunuch Wei's expression was a little sad and a little solemn, "If something happened to any of you, we think God may not forgive me."

Guo Jujing and the others were shocked. This young eunuch from the Ming Empire actually believed in God?!

Without thinking, Jinnige stepped forward and whispered loudly: "God will forgive you!"

"I hope God will forgive me."

Eunuch Wei put his hand on his chest and slowly glanced at the priests, saying with great force: "In the world, there are all countries in the world, and when it is said in general, there are actually family. There are many men in the world, all brothers, many women in the world, all sisters. How can we keep the private interests of this border and another world? We only hope that the brothers and sisters in the world will be the pillars of the middle stream, and strive hard to achieve a world where the strong do not violate the weak, the many do not violate the weak, the many do not defraud the few, the wisdom does not deceit, the courage does not suffer hardships, and the courage does not suffer hardships. The world will truly be one family, share peace, and be bathed in the gospel of God forever!...Amen!"

The fire was burning, making my father-in-law's face red, and the Oda behind him was extremely tall with a temporary cross made with a bamboo pole.

The Holy Fire is burning in my heart!

Heavenly Father, Brother Heaven, please bless me!

Let me save the lost lamb in this world for you!

We know you are too busy and have no time to come to the world, but it doesn’t matter. We can do whatever you can, as long as you crown us as emperor...

His Majesty the Pope of the East.
