Sun Deyu began to worry.

~~

In the blink of an eye, in the sixth year of Jiantong, Wang Shi was already attacking Jiangnan.

The government's newspapers have been expanded to five categories: the Times, the Military News, the Agricultural News, the Literary News, and the Commercial News. However, news about the siege of Jiangnan came so quickly that it is often difficult to report in detail.

As a result, more and more private newspapers have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Jiang Cang and Shen Xi also published articles in newspapers and argued endlessly with the false Taoists in the world.

They even began to criticize "the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers" and advocated that men and women in the private sector could marry independently, which aroused the anger of many great scholars.

It's just that the unification of the world is imminent, and people at the time are looking forward to this long-lost unification, so the debates in these newspapers are limited to that small page.

Sun Deyu has always been worried, worried that Shen Xi was a spy sent by Jiangnan.

But until the news of the surrender of the Lin'an court came, the Public Opinion Department did not arrest Shen Xi.

But on the sixth day of November this year, Jiang Cang failed to wait for Jiang Chun's understanding, but decided to marry Shen Xi.

"She really didn't do it carefully, did she?" Sun Deyu looked at the invitation in his hand and said, "It's been so long. If it was done carefully, the Public Opinion Department would not be able to find out."

"The more I think about this matter, the more strange it becomes." Yu Dechen said: "Her acquaintance with Jiang Cang is so coincidental, and those ideas..."

"Jiang Di said that the reason why Jiang Cang has those thoughts is because he has been around His Majesty since childhood. But how could Shen Xi have the same thoughts?"

"Unless she deliberately agreed, he deliberately approached Jiang Cang."

"Wow, senior brother, you have guessed so many things, maybe they are all wrong."

"Perhaps the Public Opinion Department is too incompetent."

No matter what Yu Dechen said, on the sixth day of the lunar month, Jiang Cang and Shen Xi got married in their mansion as scheduled.

Sun Deyu finished drinking Jiang Cang's wedding wine and didn't see anyone from the Public Relations Department until the end.

"Ah, senior brother really guessed wrong."

Sun Deyu was so drunk that he lay on Lin Zi's shoulder and said: "Brother Lin, how can you reuse my senior brother? His vision is not good, he can't..."

In the new house, red candles flickered.

Jiang Cang lifted his hijab and sat by the couch, feeling a little nervous.

"Official."

"Um?"

Shen Xi hesitated and said: "Sister asked me not to tell you, but... the Public Opinion Department had a talk with me a few days ago."

Jiang Cang was stunned.

"It is true that I redeemed myself before I left the government, but I did not redeem myself." Shen Xi lowered her head and said: "It was redeemed by Song court officials. They asked me to go north, steal the blueprints of firearms, inquire about the court's intentions, and bribe the court officials. , but I didn’t do anything. I wanted to get close to you at first. The time you took me to see the little Taoist priest was the closest I got to the Wuyan Academy. But that day... I held your hand that day because it was true. I don’t want to go back to Lin’an again… I met your sister, Xianggong Yan, and you in Chang’an, and I really want to stay.”

The red candle illuminated Jiang Cang's face. He seemed to be in a daze and did not answer.

Shen Xi was a little nervous and said: "At the beginning, I was deliberately agreeing with your point of view. But when you said 'No one is noble or humble', when it came to my heart, I...then I really admired you. I'm sorry, I I shouldn't hide it from you, because I'm afraid..."

She clutched the red silk tightly, fearing that Jiang Cang would get angry and get up and leave.

After a long time, Jiang Cang held her hand.

"I have been by His Majesty's side since I was very young. Others followed him and made great achievements, but I paid more attention to some of the words he said when chatting, which should be said to be... thoughts." Jiang Cang whispered: "Before I met you, I'm lonely and they all go to battle as if I'm a coward."

"You are not a coward, and you will not be alone. I believe that one day the world will understand you."

~~

In the twenty-sixth year of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, Beijing.

Li Xia looked at the resignation letter in his hand and said, "I thought you could serve as Prime Minister for any term."

"What Your Majesty never lacks is a prime minister who can handle government affairs." Jiang Cang was in his early forties, in the prime of life, and had a long beard. He bowed to the ground before His Majesty and said: "Your Majesty is so beautiful and has endless ambitions.

, there are endless strategies..."

"Speak humanly."

"In this world today, some people defend the country and some open up frontiers, but few people like me have been pondering your majesty's thoughts since childhood. I feel that your majesty's thoughts are a treasure. I want to travel around the world, observe folk customs, and then return to my hometown to publish a newspaper and write

Books, to mine this treasure for future generations.”

"Then should I open my head and show it to you?"

Jiang Cang was startled and said, "Your Majesty must be joking with me."

"Are you sure that there will be no impact on the Gewün Academy without you?"

"Your Majesty must not underestimate the talents of young people. I can no longer cope with them, which is why I am old."

~~

In the thirty-ninth year of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, Sichuan and Shu, Qingfu.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the latest folk journals, detailed explanations of smallpox vaccine, introduction to the products of the New World, Fujiang Academy's enrollment expansion..."

The woman riding a two-wheeler drove down the long street while shouting.

At the city gate, an old Confucian waved his hands angrily and cursed: "Where is Jiang Leshan? I want to argue with him face to face!"

A couple in their fifties came back from collecting medicine outside the city. Seeing this situation, they took a detour and walked away.

"Since Wu Boqing is really here, why don't you argue with him?" Shen Xi asked.

Jiang Cang held a cane in one hand and walked calmly, saying: "What these Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucians want is for the world to follow their opinions. So as long as people have a broad vision and a hundred flowers of thought bloom, they will be considered defeated, so what are they arguing for?

"

"The more we argue, the clearer the truth becomes."

"You old woman." Jiang Cang smiled and finally said: "The realm is higher than mine."

"It can be seen that there is no hierarchy in learning, it only depends on whether you work hard." Shen Xi said: "I work harder than you, so of course I am at a higher level."

The couple walked slowly into the city, where Wu Boqing was still cursing angrily.

"Jiang Leshan, if you preach heresy, aren't you afraid of being accused and having your home confiscated?"

Shen Xi then said to Jiang Cang, "He said we are promoting heresy."

"Do you know what His Majesty told me?" Jiang Cang said: "He has never been afraid of enlightening people's wisdom. On the contrary, he believes that as long as we do not shackle people's thoughts, China will be able to stand forever in the forest of the world. Human lifespan is limited

When it comes to an end, the country will also come to an end, but the inheritance is endless. If the people are strong and the ideas are strong, the country will be strong, from generation to generation."

At this point, he pointed his cane and said: "That's why when I resigned to Your Majesty, I said that there are many people planting potatoes, but few planting ideas, so someone has to plant them..."
