Chapter 118 Amen!
Chen Changan took a deep breath, which was deafening.
"……Bible!"
Everyone gasped and was too stunned to speak.
Their ideas are simple. The classics of ancient saints can become the Bible. This book is so amazing!
"No, it can't be possible. Chen Changan doesn't know any Western characters at all!"
Luo Qianfan could not accept this result and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Chen Changan is just talking nonsense. How can such a broken book be the Bible?"
"…Your Majesty, please think twice!"
The emperor clenched his fists.
Although he didn't know whether what Chen Changan said was right or wrong, how could Luo Qianfan be sure that Chen Changan could not read?
Chen Changan took the book and handed it to the emperor with both hands.
"Your Majesty, I understand Western characters. This has already been demonstrated."
"I dare to ask Your Majesty what problems can you find from this book."
Chen Changan's eyes were sharp and the emperor looked suspicious.
The emperor stroked the book, and suddenly his expression changed. He immediately understood: "Has the Western bizarre erotic techniques reached such a level?"
Chen Changan's brows suddenly relaxed and he said sincerely.
"Your Majesty, this is the crux of the matter!"
"Please think carefully about this. Great Chu is thousands of miles away from the Western Kingdom, but Western ships can sail here. Shouldn't this alert the emperor?"
"This is because Da Chu was lucky. The ship encountered a storm and sank to the bottom. What if it hadn't encountered a storm?"
The emperor was puzzled and Chen Changan sighed.
"Please look at the last few pages of the book. They are stained with dirt. Your Majesty should be familiar with this thing, right?"
The emperor opened it carefully and took a light sniff.
He was naturally familiar with this thing: "This is the saltpeter and sulfur that Shangqing Palace often uses to make the elixir of immortality for me."
Chen Changan nodded: "Yes, this is the main raw material of gunpowder."
"I would like to make a bold inference. Cannons are already equipped on the ships. They came out with the intention of using cannons to knock on the door of the Chu."
"When cold weapons fight against hot weapons, what chances does Da Chu have of winning?"
The emperor looked at Chen Changan with a gloomy gaze, wondering what he was thinking.
The Great Chu actually also researched thermal weapons, but because there was not enough gunpowder, the power was not enough, just like firecrackers.
There were too many of them, and they exploded easily, killing many people.
So, I stopped studying.
"Chen Changan, don't make alarmist remarks here and scare the emperor!"
Luo Qianfan stood up and sneered, "I'll say it again, Da Chu is the Celestial Empire, its majesty is inviolable!"
"If the barbarians come to attack, the Huainan King's Zhennan Army will be ready to fight day and night and will definitely make sure the barbarians don't return!"
Chen Changan didn't even want to talk to Luo Qianfan.
You have to understand clearly, under the enemy's artillery, it was difficult for the Zhennan Army to charge forward, and how could they make the enemy unable to return?
Okay, okay, you are awesome!
When that time really comes, you can use the unprecedented poetry to make the barbarians dare not advance!
I'm optimistic about you!
Chen Changan didn't want to stay in Chu for too long, so he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, even if I have spoken out of turn, the great Chu will prosper for thousands of years!"
"Can this contest be considered as the victory of this humble minister?"
The emperor was a little dazed and turned to look at the Prince of Huainan.
The King of Huainan gritted his teeth, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know whether it is true or not. If you rashly judge Hanzi as the winner, I will not accept it!"
The emperor was impatient: "Oh? Then what about the opinion of the King of Huainan?"
Chen Zhan was well prepared: "In my opinion, please invite two Westerners to confront Hanzi face to face!"
"Didn't Hanzi say he knew Western languages?"
"Only if I show it publicly in front of everyone can I admit defeat with full conviction!"
Chen Changan's eyes lit up.
Alex and Lima Dou were also brought by King Huainan, that’s great!
When everyone heard this, they became interested on the spot.
They also wanted to see whether the white people with blond hair and blue eyes that Chen Changan described were real!
Besides, doesn’t Chen Changan know Western languages? As long as we find a Westerner, we can quickly expose the truth!
The emperor also became interested and nodded, saying, "I think the King of Huainan came prepared. Well... let's invite the Westerners out. I'll see if they have three heads and six arms."
King Huainan bowed, turned around and told Wang Meng to bring his men up.
Everyone was waiting anxiously. After just a moment, Wang Meng came over with two Westerners who were tied up.
The whole hall was shocked!
“Oh my god, their skin is so white!”
"Look, look, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a high nose bridge. Chen Changan is right!"
"How can there be such people in the world? It's hard to imagine!"
Everyone was talking and making loud noises.
They had never seen Westerners before, and they were almost boiling with excitement at this moment!
When the two Westerners saw this scene, they thought they were going to be executed and their faces turned pale with fear.
Seeing the emperor sitting in the middle, they all realized that this man could decide their life or death.
The two Westerners had no backbone at all. They knelt down before the emperor one after another and kowtowed like pounding garlic.
They chirped a lot of bird language, which made the people around them confused.
Chen Changan looked at the two of them, his eyes flickering with complexity.
That’s right, these two people were Alex and Limadou. It was them in the previous life who told him about the outside world.
Chen Changan stepped out and reported, "Your Majesty, the two Westerners knelt down and begged Your Majesty to spare their lives."
"In my humble opinion, you can keep the two of them in the Institute of Technology, and I will be responsible for teaching them."
When Chen Changan saw the two of them, he came up with a second plan.
One option was to run to Qi State himself, and the other was to use the two of them to develop a musket for himself.
Chen Changan was sincere, but Luo Qianfan sneered.
"Top Scholar, is this why you understand Western languages? Then I understand them too!"
"They said, 'Your Majesty, we are from a small barbarian country. Please be magnanimous and give us a chance to live.'"
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"
The students all nodded and laughed softly.
Who can't understand this body language?
Chen Changan shook his head: "Changan is ignorant, so can we ask Vice President Luo to act as an interpreter?"
Luo Qianfan's face changed drastically, and the emperor waved his hand slightly: "Luo Qianfan, tell them not to be so polite."
"Great Chu is different from the barbarians and small countries. It is very tolerant and allows them to speak with dignity."
Luo Qianfan was dumbfounded.
The emperor asked him to communicate with Westerners, how could he do that?
But the emperor's words were golden, and Luo Qianfan did not dare to disobey. He walked up to the Westerner with a smile on his face.
"You guys, don't be so polite! Stand up and be obedient, otherwise, you will die, right?"
The emperor was stunned!
I seem to understand this Western language. Is it that simple?
When the two people saw Luo Qianfan's gesture, they hurriedly thanked him and stood up tremblingly.
The emperor also wants to try it.
"You guys, seriously, is this book the Bible?"
"Yoshi, be honest!"
Seeing the emperor holding the Bible in his hand, the two men's faces changed immediately.
He reverently made the sign of the cross on his chest with his hands, looked up at the sky, and chattered in bird language.
Finally, he looked at the emperor expectantly: "May the Lord be with you!"
"Amen!"
