Wei Zhongxian was very excited when the emperor entrusted the matter to him.

As long as things get out of hand this time, he will be able to expand his power and definitely suppress the Jinyiwei.

The most important thing is that this is really a big case. He has been planning it for so long and it can finally be carried out.

Once the plan succeeds, it will be his turn to make a comeback.

As Wei Zhongxian walked out, he was thinking in his heart, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

This time, I want to let everyone see what Lao Wei is capable of! Those people are clamoring all day long, what do they know?

In the capital, there is a place where many Catholics gather, and that place is the Catholic library.

In order to spread Christianity in the Ming Dynasty, Catholics came up with many different methods. One of the best methods was to spread Western knowledge through books. In this way, better results would be achieved. This was also discovered after repeated experiments.

Now in the capital, there are two people who have the final say in Catholicism: Guo Jingju and Ginni Ge.

The most important thing is that these two people were very good friends with others. People like Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, and Shen Tingyun all had very good relationships with them and were often together. They even lived in their homes.

After finding out these relationships, Wei Zhongxian prepared to make some adjustments.

Once the emperor agreed with his opinion and wanted to severely punish Guo Jingju and Jin Nige, this matter would become interesting. Wei Zhongxian was still looking forward to it, not knowing what choice they would make.

And at this time inside the palace.

Zhu Youxiao was also waiting quietly.

Zhu Youxiao had actually heard of Jin Ni Ge, and it was in his previous life.

Zhu Youxiao once sighed and lamented, but it was only for the Ming Dynasty, not for a man named Ginni Ge.

Because the story of Matteo Ricci spread back to Europe, European missionaries were very excited. This greatly stimulated their hearts, causing these people to become particularly radical and want to come to the East to preach.

One of them was Nicolas Trigault. Following the path pioneered by Matteo Ricci, he brought many books with him to strengthen his communication with the Ming Dynasty, hoping to impress the emperor and his ministers and get them to allow him to preach in the capital. This is very important.

This was Ginnig's second visit to the Ming Dynasty. He had made thorough preparations, not only bringing with him these Western intellectual talents to interest future generations, but also bringing with him an entire library of books. These books, all hardcover and unique, encompassed European classics as well as the latest achievements in theology, philosophy, science, literature, and art since the Renaissance.

In order to collect new books and instruments, Ginni traveled to Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and other countries, and finally collected more than 7,000 hardcover books, all of which he brought to the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to these books, he also brought various instruments to the Ming Dynasty.

Later, Ginni died of illness in Hangzhou, and the plan to introduce "7,000 Western books" to the Chinese intellectual community was aborted.

Later, Li Zhizao, Wang Zheng and others translated some of the works sporadically, while most of the books were covered in dust and lost silently.

It was not until 1938 that the Peking Catholic Church discovered hundreds of the remaining "seven thousand volumes" when it was sorting out its library. Among them were important scientific works such as Copernicus's "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" and Kepler's "Synopsis of Copernican Astronomy".

When Zhu Youxiao saw the news, he burst into tears.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had delayed too many things and missed too many opportunities. Now that they knew that Jin Ni Ge was in the capital, they would not let him escape again this time; all the books and instruments he brought with him would become theirs.

Since these people wanted to build a library, Zhu Youxiao was ready to build a library for them. Zhu Youxiao had already made up his mind, and it was just right that he could use it now.

As for what Wei Zhongxian said, it naturally needs to be changed, and we naturally need to have a good discussion with them.

Zhu Youxiao was very confident in his negotiation ability and skills. He believed that he could persuade these priests to change their doctrines.

In a courtyard in the capital.

Guo Jingju and Jin Ni Ge are busy.

After arriving in the capital, the two men founded this small library and invited many Ming Dynasty officials and scholars to visit and have a great time chatting with them.

However, these Ming Dynasty officials and scholars were very interested in knowledge, but not in missionary work.

The Ming Dynasty has its own culture and history. Although Guo Jingju and Jin Ni Ge made them believe in the sect, not many people truly believed in it.

Moreover, if the two of them act too radically, they will be subject to government scrutiny. The Ming government seems to be very sensitive to this aspect.

In reality, Guo Jingju and Jin Nige were unaware that for Ming officials, gathering a crowd to cause trouble was a serious matter. "How could you, a missionary, act like the White Lotus Sect? Are you planning a rebellion?"

No one cares whether you are preaching or what you are saying. The officials of the Ming Dynasty simply do not allow you to preach.

Don't think we don't know what you are going to do. After all, our Ming Dynasty Emperor Taizu did the same thing back then.

Rebellion through religious sects has always been a concern of every dynasty. Even Zhang Jiao, the Heavenly Master of the Han Dynasty, is still a famous figure today.

Guo Jingju and Jin Ni Ge also asked officials of the Ming Dynasty, hoping that they could introduce them to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
