People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 297 Can this be sent?
With a creak, the wooden door of the academy's residence was slowly pushed open. Zhou Liang had just returned from the school bathhouse with half-wet hair and an iron basin in his arms. It was a hot season now, and students had to take a shower to feel comfortable after classes every day. Zhou Liang was no exception.

But after entering the room, he saw his roommate Emiya with his clothes open, fanning himself, and looking at something with sweat all over his face.

This made Zhou Liang a little confused for a moment: "Why don't you take a shower today?"

Emiya turned his head to look at him, wiped the sweat from his chest and said, "It won't be too late to go after you finish reading the newspaper."

Zhou Liang said "Oh" when he heard it, but he felt a little strange in his heart. The newspaper had been torn to pieces by his classmates a long time ago. It had been so long, what was there to read about it?

But then he froze, his eyes fell on the newspaper in Emiya's hand, and he suddenly realized something.

The newspaper in Emiya's hand was indeed much newer, and it was obviously not an old newspaper.

"A new newspaper has been published?" Zhou Liang's eyes lit up and he could no longer sit still. He put down the iron basin and went to look at Emiya. Then he laughed and said, "What news is there this month?"

Emiya gave him a displeased look and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll give it to you after I finish reading it."

Zhou Liang just smiled when he heard that. Although the price of the newspaper was not too high, he didn't need to spend extra money. He could read it for free anyway.

But it was uncomfortable for him to just wait like that, so he just watched it next to Emiya.

The first thing that caught his eyes was a big event, but it was something outside of Xuan Xia.

The Emperor of Han has moved to Yecheng!
Zhou Liang was shocked, then continued reading and saw the author's analysis of the matter in the news, which was quite logical.

It points out without any hesitation the fact that the Han emperor is now only in name only and that Yuan Shao is holding the emperor hostage to gain power.

He also considered in detail the impact of this matter on Xuanxia and the situation in the world, and even predicted that after Yuan Shao used the emperor to increase his influence, he would definitely call on the princes in the name of the emperor to jointly launch a northern expedition against Xuanxia.

The author finally elaborated on the reasons for this prediction. Xuan Xia and Yuan Shao divided Jizhou together, and the contradictions between the two sides were sharp and irreconcilable. Yuan Shao would certainly not be willing to bear all the pressure of Xuan Xia by himself.

Yuan Shao is not strong enough to withstand the threat from Xuan Xia, so he will definitely use the name of the emperor to borrow the power of others for his own benefit. The princes will be frightened by the pressure from Xuan Xia and may not be unwilling to cooperate.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xuanxia may face the crisis of being attacked by the coalition forces in the near future.

After reading the article, Zhou Liang's thoughts became clearer. The author's analysis was well-reasoned and well-organized, which was really impressive. Zhou Liang immediately admired him.

When he took a closer look, he saw the author's signature "Xun Chen", and he was immediately relieved.

It is not surprising that a person who can serve as an advisor to the Prime Minister can write such an article.
"If what this article says is true, the coalition forces' attack will be quite powerful. How should Xuan Xia respond?" Zhou Liang's heart suddenly tightened and he couldn't help but make a sound.

"Allied forces, how many divisions can the allied forces have?" Upon hearing this, Emiya snorted and said disapprovingly, "Are you underestimating Xuan Xia? Can you be a little more confident? With Xuan Xia's current strength, the so-called allied forces are nothing but chickens and dogs."

Zhou Liang was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that an international student like Emiya would have such great confidence in Xuan Xia.

He devotes himself to studying farming and dealing with various crops every day. Although he cares about these major events in the world, his vision and thinking cannot be compared with those of Emiya, a prince of a small country.

The more Emiya got to know Xuan Xia, the more terrifying he found him. The speed at which Xuan Xia's strength was growing was far more exaggerated than most people imagined.

Others remain the same after half a year or a year, but Xuan Xia's strength increases exponentially as long as it develops for half a year or a year. In this land, the powerful force brought by industry is becoming more and more terrifying.

There is no need to say anything else. Just look at the iron basin in Zhou Liang's hand and you can imagine how advanced Xuanxia's iron smelting industry has become.

If you look at the large number of newspapers in your hands and compare them with the expensive and scarce books and knowledge outside, you can imagine how big the power gap between the two sides is.

"Believe me, if the coalition forces really come, they will definitely go back in disgrace. It's still unclear who will beat whom." Emiya did have great confidence in Xuan Xia, but this confidence made him feel a little sad.

If only I could be so confident about my own Goguryeo today, it would be great. Unfortunately, Goguryeo is just a small foreign country and it is impossible for it to have the strength of Xuanxia.

If Xuan Xia really marches south to rule China in the future, how powerful it will be? It will probably be even more terrifying than during the most powerful times of the Qin and Han dynasties.

Is the emergence of such a powerful existence really a good thing for small neighboring countries like Goguryeo?

So, can the tributary alliance really continue to operate from generation to generation?
Begging for mercy and compassion from the powerful seems a little too naive
For these things, Emiya could only sigh in his heart, and then without thinking too much, he turned to the next page of the newspaper. Zhou Liang felt relieved by Emiya's words, and his mind followed the newspaper, and then they saw the next article, which was written by a woman named Cai Yan.

The two of them read it in silence for a long time. As their eyes moved across the article, they slowly realized that the article was a bit strange.

Many of them discuss the sufferings of women, until the topic is introduced to the marriage between men and women. The theme of the article is no longer limited to the discussion of women's issues, but directly points the finger at the harm of parental authority.

Up to this point, the article is already shocking enough. It is no exaggeration to say that it is shocking for an article that openly criticizes the common traditional concepts among the people.

This is an attempt to subvert existing folk conventions. She wants to break the inherent perception of the absolute authority of parents in society. She wants her children to break free from the shackles and pursue themselves. She even wants to use religious law as a weapon to provide a legal basis for herself!
The two men's eyes widened, especially when they saw the last few words "everyone is equal", they couldn't help but gasp.

The house fell into silence. After a long moment, the two of them looked at each other, the horror in their eyes unable to be concealed at all.

This article may seem silent, but it is nothing less than opposing the royal power in front of the emperor, and even more so. After all, there is only one emperor, but there are millions of parents and children in the world.

Once this topic is magnified, it will definitely be a huge change that subverts traditional concepts.

In the Xuanxia society thereafter, the emphasis on women's basic rights was not just a matter of laws and regulations, but a thorough reshaping of ideas. The traditional concept of absolute parental authority would also suffer a huge impact.

"Can something like this be published in a newspaper?"

Emiya was a little stunned. He couldn't imagine how the newspaper dared to publish such a thing in the newspaper. Newspaper can be said to be the largest propaganda channel in the world today. Once published, it will quickly push the matter to the forefront.

Even Zhou Liang, an agricultural science student, fully understood the seriousness of the situation and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Genxia is such an interesting place." Emiya even stopped fanning himself, but at this moment he was completely focused on the article and didn't feel stuffy at all. He couldn't help but let out a sigh.

At this time, Emiya no longer had the heart to read other news, but stood up, looking expectant: "Just wait and see, Xuanxia will soon be lively."

After hearing what Emiya said, Zhou Liang couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster. He also had a premonition that this matter might cause a stir, but he didn't know how it would develop specifically.

People are content with the status quo. If everyone is suddenly asked to abandon old ideas and accept new things, many people will feel uncomfortable, at least parents will not feel comfortable. If this change is bound to happen, society will definitely go through a painful stage.

There is no room for maneuver in this matter now. The article has appeared in the eyes of people all over the world. What is even more frightening is that this issue now concerns the sacredness of Xuanxia's teachings.

A huge contradiction suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes: how to balance parental authority and women's rights within the concept of equality for all.

The Xuanxia court must face this issue seriously, and the people of Xuanxia have no way to avoid it.

Now, this issue must be clarified. The entire Xuanxia society needs to shape the teachings ideologically. How should the equality of all be correctly interpreted?

They both had a feeling that Xuanxia would soon become lively, but they didn't expect it to come so soon and so close.

That night, the entire Xuanxia Academy was not peaceful. Although the candles in the men's and women's quarters were extinguished late at night, the sound of their arguments and rebuttals could be clearly heard in the darkness.

Once these arguments started, there was no way to stop them, and in the end the voices grew louder and louder, with the students showing no signs of falling asleep, so that what should have been a peaceful night became noisy and rowdy instead.

Especially the women's quarters, where they became excited from time to time, as if they were all excited about something.

Hu Tao was awakened. As a pure technical talent, he was not very sensitive to this issue, so he was very confused about the strange atmosphere in the academy.

Of course, what followed was his worry. He was afraid that something had gone wrong in the academy.

He got up in a hurry, without even time to dress himself, and walked out in the candlelight wearing only his white undergarment. But as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned.

A figure was already standing in the corridor on the second floor of the teachers' residence.

Hu Tao recognized him immediately and walked over quickly: "Principal, you are also alarmed. What happened in the academy?"

Zhang Zhongjing held a newspaper in his hand, looked back at Hu Tao, and said with some emotion: "It's no big deal, let them quarrel. The academy is the forefront of Xuanxia thought, and these students are also the most active group of people in the world. If the world is to change, it's good to start from them."
