Matteo Ricci met Emperor Wanli and was buried in the capital after his death. You know, this was already a special treatment.
According to Ming Dynasty rules, foreigners were not eligible for burial in the capital. After death, their bodies had to be transported to Macau for burial, or their friends and relatives had to take them back to their homeland. The Ming Dynasty simply did not accept the bodies of foreigners. However, Emperor Wanli issued a special decree to bury Matteo Ricci in the capital.
The longer they lived in the Ming Dynasty, the more Guo Jingju and Jin Nige understood the power held by the emperor. So they wanted to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to use the imperial power to spread their faith.
But in fact, that was not the case. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have no interest in them and refused to see them at all.
After a long time, Guo Jingju and Jin Nige became discouraged and devoted themselves to managing the library in this small courtyard, hoping to spread the teachings to more people.
At this moment, there was sudden chaos outside.
Guo Jingju and Jin Nige were both stunned. After looking at each other, they turned their heads and looked outside, not knowing what was happening here.
Soon, they saw a group of people rushing in. Judging from their attire, they knew they were from the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty.
Guo Jingju and Jin Nige had naturally come into contact with Ming Dynasty officials and were well aware of what these Dongchang thugs were up to. The incident from that year was still often mentioned. Could something have happened?
Guo Jingju reached out to stop Jin Ni Ge who was about to go up, patted him on the shoulder, and walked up himself.
Wei Zhongxian walked out of the crowd, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Guo Jingju and the other person.
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "The environment here is quite elegant."
After hearing this, Guo Jingju didn't feel happy at all.
This person before him was not to be trifled with. Judging from their attire, they were eunuchs, trusted aides of the Ming Dynasty Emperor, and accompanied by thugs from the Eastern Depot. The identity of this person before him was probably obvious.
"Who are you?" Guo Jingju looked at Wei Zhongxian and asked directly.
Wei Zhongxian looked at Guo Jingju, his smile unchanged, and asked, "Are you Guo Jingju?"
Guo Jingju nodded and said, "I am."
Wei Zhongxian did not ask him any more questions, but asked with a smile: "Where is Jinnige?"
"Is there anything you need?" Guo Jingju asked after thinking for a moment.
"Our Ming Emperor wants to see you." Wei Zhongxian turned to look at Guo Jingju, his smile faded, and he said seriously, "Call out Jin Ni Ge now and have him come with us."
"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to see us?" Guo Jingju asked in disbelief.
This proposal is really too sudden!
Although Guo Jingju and the others were looking forward to this day, they never thought that this day would come so soon!
Guo Jingju and Jin Nige couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Is this true? Xu Guangqi and the others didn't come to inform them about this. What's going on?
Jinnige hurried over and said, "I am Jinnige. Your emperor wants to see us. Is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true." Wei Zhongxian said unhappily, "Now put down your things and follow us."
After confirming the news, Guo Jingju and Jin Nige became excited immediately. Naturally, they did not dare to stay any longer. They quickly packed up their things and followed Wei Zhongxian.
Soon, the news spread that Wei Zhongxian had taken Guo Jingju and Jin Ni Ge away, and the emperor wanted to see them.
When the news reached the ears of Li Zhizao and Xu Guangqi, both of them looked a little strange.
Xu Guangqi was especially worried. He had known His Majesty for a long time, and he knew that His Majesty was not the kind of person who would agree to anything someone said, and he didn't seem to have much affection for the sect he believed in.
It was unusual for His Majesty to summon someone to the palace this time. Moreover, it was Wei Zhongxian who first met His Majesty and then summoned him.
No one would believe that Wei Zhongxian had nothing to do with this. Although Wei Zhongxian had been keeping a low profile during this period, no one was surprised by his appearance. They just didn't expect him to bring the matter to his head.
"I want to go to the palace." Xu Guangqi stood up and said directly, then turned and walked towards the palace.
Han Yu and Huang Kezun were left stunned, neither of them understood what had happened.
