Chapter 1646 1648 [Friends were shocked]
"Awen, you and Cheng Cheng have been together for four or five years. It''s time to officially get married." Feng Jingyao invited Xiang Nan to his home.
"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, "I have long planned to formally marry Cheng Cheng, but she was still in college at the time, and getting married too early would delay her studies, so she has postponed it until now.
Since Cheng Cheng has graduated from college and our relationship is very good, I think now is the right time. "
"Okay, if you say so, I''ll be happy." Feng Jingyao said with great satisfaction.
He was originally worried that Xiang Nan would end up in chaos and give up. After all, with his current knowledge, status, and fame, it''s not surprising that he wants to find a better woman.
What''s more, now that the wind from the west is moving eastward, advanced intellectuals are receiving Western education, and their views on marriage are no longer as conservative as in the past.
Don''t say that it is a breach of moral integrity to wear clothes with bare sleeves. It is an outdated ancient calendar. Even if they are really married and have children, many people get divorced.
So, Xiang Nan is still willing to take responsibility now, which Feng Jingyao thinks is really good.
"In that case, I will start to help you handle it." Xiang Nan regretted it later, so he immediately confirmed it.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, Uncle Lao has taken care of it. Just ask for how much money you need. I will hold the grandest wedding for Cheng Cheng."
“Hey, don’t worry, I will pay for all the money.” Feng Jingyao smiled and waved his hand.
Xiang Nan was about to object. It''s not that he has no money, nor does he want to get married, so why should he spend his father-in-law''s money on marrying a wife?
Feng Jingyao smiled again and said, "Don''t think too much. I am just a daughter like Cheng Cheng, and everything I have in the future will be hers. Hers is also yours. We will be a family soon, why bother to calculate the accounts so much? clear."
Xiang Nan saw what he said, and after thinking about it, he nodded.
…
Feng Jingyao immediately began to make arrangements for his daughter''s marriage.
Which guests to invite, what banquet to hold, which church to choose, which priest to choose...you have to worry about everything.
Feng Chengcheng was shy and overjoyed when he heard that Xiang Nan was going to marry him.
??He also started to make arrangements to choose a wedding dress and jewelry, and took Wang Yueqi to go shopping together.
…
The next day, "Shenbao" published an article by Xiang Nan criticizing the chaos of the government''s rule of law. "Xu Wenqiang is very worried about the government''s rule of law and stated that he will refuse the appointment of the Academia Sinica." 》
Because he is an internationally renowned scholar. He returned from a study tour in France two days ago, and all the prominent people in Shanghai went to pick him up, which shows his influence.
Therefore, when he criticized the chaos of the rule of law in the government, he immediately stirred up waves, triggering discussions from all walks of life in Shanghai, Jiangsu and even the whole country.
"Mr. Xu is right. The rule of law is indeed chaotic now. People are arrested, beaten and killed at every turn. There is no royal law at all."
“The government says nothing about [nation, civil rights, and people’s livelihood], but the people don’t even have personal safety guarantees. No wonder Mr. Xu doesn’t dare to stay in the mainland.”
“Ordinary people, if they have no power or power, will be caught and locked up at every turn. How many talents can such a chaotic rule of law retain?”
“The sage said that if a country is in danger, don’t enter it, and if it’s in chaos, don’t live in it. Today, with frequent wars and chaotic rule of law, China is both a dangerous country and a chaotic country. It’s not surprising that a gentleman won’t enter or live in it.”
People talked a lot.
Government rule is inherently unpopular.
Since the founding of the government in 27 AD, there have been constant wars. In 2028, the Second Northern Expedition; in 29, the Chiang Kai-shek War; in 30, the Central Plains War... This was still a large-scale war, and as for small battles, there were too many to mention. There were news of wars in newspapers almost every day, and the people had already I am very annoyed and long for a stable and peaceful life.
In addition to fighting external wars, the government''s internal rule is also extremely dark.
Military police, gendarmes, and spies are operating everywhere, arresting progressive people and suppressing just speech. Anyone who dares to express dissatisfaction will be arrested. Therefore, people often dare to be angry but dare not speak out, and their anger and dissatisfaction are always suppressed in their hearts.
It is precisely for this reason that what Xiang Nan said now made readers feel the same and quickly set off a wave of public opinion.
…
Furthermore, because Xiang Nan has a high reputation internationally, this article was quickly reprinted by foreign media. For a time, it caused a certain amount of damage to the government''s image overseas.
The senior government officials were naturally shocked when they saw this article, and immediately ordered Wu Tiecheng to eliminate the adverse effects as soon as possible to avoid causing greater harm.
You must know that the reason why the national government had the money to fight the Central Plains War and launch one, two, three and four sieges against the base areas was because of the financial aid from the great powers. They provide it with loans, weapons, technology, and talent...
? And if the image of the government is too bad and arouses resentment among the people of various countries, the major powers will naturally not dare to go against public opinion too much. Therefore, the impact must be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, the major powers would have to reduce or cut off aid in order to comply with public opinion.
The assistance from all major powers is the lifeblood of the country. Once it is cut off, the country will be unable to support it. Therefore, it has to be taken seriously.
…
Wu Tiecheng couldn''t help but feel a headache after receiving the order.
He had only thought that Xiang Nan was a scholar. Although he was somewhat famous, he was nothing special.
Because there has been a saying since ancient times, a person who is useless is a scholar. The so-called most talented people in the world are often just playthings of power.
?Just like Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty, Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, Xu Wei and Tang Bohu in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Banqiao in the Qing Dynasty, Wang Guowei and Chen Yinge in the Republic of China...
?Although they are full of talents and famous all over the world, their official career is still delayed and their ambitions are difficult to achieve.
? Comparatively, he, Wu Tiecheng, is the mayor of Hujiang. He is a prince and has great power, so he naturally looks down on Xiang Nan. For this reason, two days ago, Xiang Nan asked him to release Lu Qiubai.
He did not look at his face at all and refused directly.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan’s influence is so great. Just a few complaints in the media caused an uproar in the public opinion and astonishment among friendly countries.
If the matter remains unresolved, Xiang Nan may say a few more words, which may risk his loss.
So he quickly invited Xiang Nan to the city government.
"Mr. Xu, if you have anything, you can mention it. Don''t talk nonsense to others, so as not to have a bad impact." He smiled and said to Xiang Nan.
"Mayor Wu, I didn''t talk nonsense. I was really disappointed with the rule of law in the country, so I just said a few words." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "If you think what I said was wrong and caused a bad impact, then you Catch me too."
“Hey, Mr. Xu, don’t get excited.” Upon hearing this, Wu Tiecheng immediately waved his hands and said, “Wu had no intention of doing this.”
Xiang Nan only made a few complaints, which surprised his friends. If he were to be arrested again, it would be a hornet''s nest that would be completely out of control.
“If you have any requests, you can tell me.” He then smiled again.
“I just hope you can release Lu Qiubai.” Xiang Nan nodded.
