To visit Beijing,to enter the royal palace and to access the emperor of China were always the dreams of the Jesuits coming to China.For that reason Michel Ruggieri went back to Europe and tried to get an assignment as an envoy to Beijing from the Pontifex;Matteo Ricci held the secret of how to operate the chime clock in order to get the opportunity to meet Emperor Wanli(reigned 1573-1619)and to show it in front of him.This dream had been realized by Johann Adam Schall von Bell.
