Please ask me to be the emperor

"Hey, we are all our own people, don't get excited!" Zhang Shun stretched out his hand to stop everyone's condemnation and said with a smile.

"This Duan Yishi has a loyal heart, but his fierce words are probably obscured by foreign monks."

“The so-called ‘God’ and ‘God’ are the same as what we called ‘Heaven’, ‘Tao’ and ‘Emperor’ in ancient times.”

"Although their names are different, their principles are the same, so don't worry too much!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, with different expressions for a while, and they all pondered, thinking about Zhang Shun's thoughts.

What's the meaning?

Did King Shun support Catholicism and suppress Confucianism, or support Confucianism and suppress Catholicism?

An ideological theory is not just a simple ideological theory, but has profound and powerful relationships hidden behind it.

Where King Shun wants to go is naturally related to the interests of everyone around him.

Just when everyone was in shock and doubt, Duan Gun was overjoyed when he heard the words.

It turns out that "supplementing Confucianism" and "super-Confucianism" were the main strategies of Catholic missionaries in China.

The specific measures are to preach in the name of "supplementing the shortcomings of Confucianism", to reshape some traditional Chinese views, and to ultimately achieve the goal of "surpassing the status of Confucianism".

Now that it seems that even the famous King Shun didn't see through his intentions, naturally the matter is settled.

However, at this moment Han Lin smiled bitterly.

He already knew Zhang Shun's attitude towards Catholicism very well, so no matter what he said later, he would not be surprised.

Sure enough, Zhang Shun continued to laugh and said: "Daxi people are ignorant and use their own minds to imitate the heavens' minds. They call themselves 'God' and 'God'. They are really arrogant."

"The heaven is ignorant and careless, and the Tao is natural. How can it be possible to judge the heart of heaven with the human heart?"

"You" Duan Gun couldn't help being shocked and angry when he heard this.

To hit a snake seven inches, dig out the roots of a tree first.

When the Catholic Church came to China to preach, it tried to replace the philosophical "Way of Heaven" and "God" with "God" in the religious sense. Then Zhang Shun pretended not to know, and instead used the traditional Chinese philosophy of "Way of Heaven" and "God" Transform the religious "God".

"You ask me if I believe in God, of course I believe in God!" Zhang Shun laughed.

“But what I believe in is the God who ‘Heaven’s actions are constant and will not exist for Yao’s sake nor perish for Jie’s sake’.”

"It is the God who is 'heaven, the principle; god, the one who speaks the wonders of all things; emperor, the one who rules over things'."

"It's the God who says, 'The Son of Heaven worships the Emperor of Heaven, the Dukes worship hundreds of gods, and the descendants of the Qing Dynasty are no more worthy than his clan'."

"Not that God who 'uses his own heart to imitate the heart of heaven', the God who is worshiped by foolish men and women, the God who uses the name of God to do personal things!"

Are you kidding? Did you know that in addition to the secular emperor title, the emperors of ancient China also had the title of "Emperor"?

It is not that China has not had its own supreme god since the beginning of time, but there has been a supreme god who is so high that even ministers and officials are not worthy of worshiping him.

This god is God Haotian, or he is called Heaven, or he is called Emperor of Heaven.

Although their names are different, their deities are the same.

This god is trusted by everyone in the world, but there is only one person who has the power to offer sacrifices - the emperor of the dynasty!

Therefore, the Holy Emperor can consecrate the gods of the world. Therefore, in folklore, Bao Zheng, who was conferred the title of "Bao Qingtian" by the Emperor of Song Dynasty, can "judge the sun by day and cut off the shade by night." Therefore, once the common people and gentry lose trust in the royal family, they are called "Bao Qingtian". Lost destiny".

Therefore, in feudal society, as long as there was a pope, no matter how careful Catholic preaching was, its conflict with Confucianism and even the emperor of the dynasty was inevitable.

Because there is only one belief in China, that is the "Emperor of Heaven", and there is only one pope in China, that is the Son of Heaven!

"You, you!" Duan Gun's expression suddenly changed after hearing what Zhang Shun said.

He pointed at Zhang Shun with a trembling finger, and felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a "puff".

"Brother Duan, Brother Duan!" When Han Lin saw it, he quickly stepped forward to support Duan Gun and called out repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, this guy rolled his eyes and passed out on the spot.

"King Shun." Han Lin looked at Zhang Shun helplessly while supporting Duan Gun who had fainted.

What is this!

You made Duan Gun, a Catholic who had done great work, pass out in front of everyone?

Zhang Shun couldn't help but touch his nose when he saw this. He never expected that Duan Gun would play this trick on him.

Although he had a lotus tongue and defeated this man in argument, he did not show any martial ethics and actually passed out directly.

After all, Zhang Shun is also the leader of the party. If this matter spreads, he will be criticized!

Zhang Shun originally had the idea of ​​using Catholics to introduce technology, but he knew that he had gone too far.

He hurriedly took two steps forward and explained in a low voice: "Duan Yishi was too impatient and actually wanted to compete with a Confucian scholar on the spot. Wouldn't he be humiliating himself?"

"My king is so powerful, how dare I offend the world's scholars?"

Han Lin was stunned when he heard this and immediately reacted.

Not to mention Zhang Shun's personal inclinations, now is the time for the rebel army to recruit people, and almost all of King Shun's important ministers are of Confucian origin.

Duan Gun forced him to express his stance at this time and challenge Confucianism. The result can be imagined.

"What King Shun said is true. In the future, if you have the opportunity, please help me. Help me!" Han Lin pondered and asked for a vague guarantee.

To be honest, after two confrontations between Catholics and King Shun Zhang Shun, Han Lin's mind has changed slightly.

It turns out that unlike devout Catholics like Duan Gun and Gao Zesheng, Han Lin made many changes and compromises when he was learning Catholicism.

For example, according to Catholic teachings, the ancient Chinese sages and sages are undoubtedly pagans and will fall into hell.

Similarly, in the West, Catholic Dante put pagan Socrates, Plato and other sages into the first level of hell in the Divine Comedy.

This is basically impossible to accept for the Chinese people who have worshiped their ancestors and respected their sages since ancient times.

Therefore, Han Lin once thought of a compromise, claiming that "the emperors and sages of ancient and modern times were all born in heaven to govern and educate the people."

That is to say, it is believed that emperors and sages of ancient and modern times were all people who were ordered by God to govern and educate the people.

However, a big problem arises.

Not to mention how many emperors and saints there were in China before Catholicism was spread to China.

Simply speaking, because China is good at recording history, it can be concluded that when God Haotian and Emperor Zhou appeared on the land of China, not to mention Christianity, not even the Old Testament appeared.

If we draw this conclusion based on Han Lin's theory, wouldn't it mean that the grandson decides the grandpa?

But if we really follow the Catholic teachings, all the ancient Chinese saints and sages will be sent to hell.

Not to mention ordinary Chinese people, even Han Lin himself, who had been educated by sages since childhood, could not accept it emotionally.

Therefore, he also worried about this for a long time, until he heard Zhang Shun's judgment twice in a row, and he couldn't help but have the same "perfect" idea in his mind.

Could it be that this God, God, does not actually come from the Far West, but has existed in China since ancient times?

In fact, the so-called "God" and "God" in Catholicism are actually the Chinese Haotian God.

Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties are all "sons of heaven", and the sages of ancient and modern times are all born under the destiny of "heaven".

In this way, the problem of conflict between Catholicism and Chinese tradition was naturally solved, and Han Lin, who was suffering from doctrinal conflicts, also felt similar to the "ecstasy of two chefs".

Everything is perfect, the only thing that is a little less than perfect is:

Is such a God still a Catholic God?
