Cao Wenzhao looked at his nephew and saw that he was clenching his fists and was full of fighting spirit. He suddenly became calm and reached out to put his hand on his nephew's shoulder and asked, "Are you really decided?"

"It's decided!" Cao Bianjiao nodded vigorously and replied without hesitation.

Cao Wenzhao patted his nephew's shoulder, said nothing, turned around and walked back to the main seat to take a seat.

Cao Bianjiao saw it from behind, and asked with a little surprise: "Uncle, do you agree?"

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao suddenly turned around and stood still in front of Cao Bianjiao again, as if he had a hint of expectation and asked: "If my uncle finds a way to transfer you to Denglai, would it be nice to go to Lu Zhongcheng's side?"

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he knew that his uncle had not given up and wanted to change his decision. He thought of the heroic Lu Xiangsheng, and for a moment, he seemed a little hesitant.

When Cao Wenzhao saw this, he immediately added: "Lu Zhongcheng has a good impression of you. After you go there, not only do you need to start from scratch. I believe that with Lu Zhongcheng's ability, you will not be out of the way. How about it?"

Cao Bianjiao did not answer immediately after hearing this. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Uncle, even if my nephew goes to Lu Zhongcheng's side and makes great contributions, at most it will be just like Wu Sangui. Isn't it right?"

"..." Cao Wenzhao was speechless when he heard this. Your uncle, I am just a deputy general. From your tone, I don't even bother with the general?

Seeing his face, Cao Bianjiao obviously guessed his uncle's thoughts, and immediately explained: "Don't blame me, my nephew just wants to surpass Wu Sangui. The cavalry and shooting technique, under the guidance of my uncle, my nephew believes that it is not worse than him!"

Cao Wenzhao was very comfortable and his face looked much better. As he was about to speak, he heard Cao Bianjiao say firmly: "My nephew believes that with his nephew's ability, he will definitely have a place in the new army! As my uncle said, the emperor must have high hopes for the new army. If the new army can really become a strong army, then the nephew's backer will be the emperor! Only in this way can the nephew surpass Wu Sangui in the future! In addition, even if he goes to Lu Zhongcheng's side, the nephew doesn't feel that he can have this opportunity!"

Speaking of this, he clenched his fists to his chest and said firmly: "My nephew must be better than him, Wu Sangui!"

Listening to Cao Bianjiao's oath, Cao Wenzhao stared at him for a while, then suddenly strode forward, reached out and patted his nephew's shoulder heavily, and praised loudly: "Okay! You have such ambition, your uncle will no longer stop you! You will have to walk on this road by yourself, so you can give your uncle a way out!"

Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately clasped his fists and bowed firmly and said loudly: "Don't worry, uncle, my nephew will work a hundred times more and will definitely make a fortune!"

The next day, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Minister of Rites, as the imperial envoy who supervised the promotion of sweet potatoes nationwide, went to Wenhua Palace to say goodbye to the emperor.

Hu Guang had high hopes for this matter. However, he also knew that it would take at least several years to see the harvest if sweet potatoes could be promoted nationwide. Now Xu Guangqi's trip is just sowing seeds all over the country.

After some encouragement, Hu Guang suddenly felt that Xu Guangqi seemed to have something to say but hesitate, and asked curiously: "Xu Qing, what are the concerns? Let me say it out together. I will make the decision for you!"

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he seemed to have made up his mind and immediately reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, after the news of my departure from the capital came out, several missionaries in the capital came together to see me."

Speaking of this, he paused and said with a sincere expression: "I believe that Your Majesty is knowledgeable, and it doesn't matter if you don't have those missionaries. But Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of things, and those Western knowledge still have to be taught to the people of the Ming Dynasty. I recommend Sun Yuanhua, the doctor of the position, to learn Western learning from these Westerners, and then educate the people of the Ming Dynasty."

When Hu Guang heard this, he understood what Xu Guangqi meant. He still wanted to plead for those missionaries, hoping to abolish the ban triggered by the Nanjing lesson plan, so that Sun Yuanhua could learn Western learning from Western missionaries.

After thinking a little, he asked Xu Guangqi: "What is the foundation of Sun Yuanhua's Western learning?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, Sun Yuanhua is a student of his ministers. He also converted to Catholicism like his ministers and learned Western learning from Western missionaries. He is better at the learning of Western artillery." Xu Guangqi heard that the emperor seemed to be moved, and he quickly replied.

When Hu Guang heard this, he nodded and said, "You are busy with sweet potatoes. If you want Sun Yuanhua to sort it out for me in the Western Learning, you can just give me some memorials if you don't know what you don't know. As for those Western missionaries, I have said before, there is no room for bargaining!"

Xu Guangqi was happy at first, but when he heard it later, he found that the emperor had not changed his mind. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the court is in trouble now, and there are injustice in all parts of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty is doing everything he wants..."

"Xu Qing!" Hu Guang heard this and interrupted Xu Guangqi's words and said a little serious: "I have said that these missionaries come to our Ming Dynasty to be more than just preaching. They have evil intentions and should not be deceived by their current behavior!"

"Your Majesty, I really can't feel it. I hope your Majesty..." Xu Guangqi felt that the emperor was really prejudiced. At least in his opinion, those Western missionaries really had no malice, so he wanted to advise him again before leaving Beijing.

Hu Guang interrupted Xu Guangqi again and told him: "Since you don't believe it, let's spread the word that a few Western missionaries come to see me, you'll listen to me."

Xu Guangqi really didn't believe it. When he saw the emperor wanting to meet those missionaries, he couldn't help but feel happy. He believed that as long as the emperor was willing to contact them, he would feel their profound knowledge and broad mind, and would be willing to come to the Ming Dynasty to preach and spread Western learning.

When the missionaries knew that Xu Guangqi would make another comment to the emperor today, they were waiting for the news outside the Meridian Gate. Therefore, not long after, they met the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty in Wenhua Hall.

Seeing them coming in, Xu Guangqi immediately gave a wink to Johnson Chan, who was in charge.

Tang Ruowang and the other five took a deep breath, faced the emperor, reached out to stroke his chest, and said in a Chinese accent that was unique to Westerners: "...I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing this, Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was rotating beside Hu Guang, suddenly shouted loudly: "Bold, why don't you kneel down and bow?"

Xu Guangqi was stunned when he heard this. What happened? In the past, monks and Taoists did not need to kneel three times and knock on each other! Even if this father-in-law was young, he should know this!

Joshua Tsang and others were also stunned when they heard this. Then Joshua Tsang, who was the leader, replied: "Your Majesty, we are missionaries sent by God to the Ming Dynasty. We pay tribute to Your Majesty according to the etiquette of my Catholicism..."

Thank you for the rewards from Ji Lian and the horse world!
