Zhu Ma said firmly: "No. Someone will do the rescue club's business. Sister Feng has been busy for a while and doesn't care about me at all. I want to go to Liaodong with you, I must go."

Zhou Xian showed doubts on her face, but she didn't expect her to persist. After thinking about it, she asked again: "Where is Xiao Zhaoren and Xiao Cihuan! Do you care about them anymore?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Mai hesitated for a moment, but she still said, "Jinse will take good care of them, I believe her."

Zhou Xian sighed in a low voice, thinking in his heart that this was difficult. "Yu'er, can you tell me why you have to go to Liaodong! There is really not as good as you imagined."

Zhu Mai was silent for a while and said, "I just wanted to go and see. When my father was alive, what he often mentioned was to regain Liaodong and revive the Ming Dynasty. Now that he is no longer there, I just wanted to go and see what Liaodong is like and whether it is worth paying so many lives to fight for. Besides, you have not promised me, have you ever accompanied me to see the world's beautiful scenery?"

Zhou Xian's expression was a little unnatural. He forced a smile and said, "That's what we meant in the future. Now there is chaos in the world. How can there be any scenic spots? Wait a little longer, and you will go again when I recover Liaodong in the future. Then I will accompany you wherever you want to go and how long you will stay there."

Zhu Mai looked directly at Zhou Xian, her eyes like a clear spring, "Are you sure you will definitely be able to recover Liaodong?"

Zhou Xian hesitated for a moment and smiled and said, "Of course, when did I lied to you?"

Zhu Mai lowered her head and whispered: "You lied to me just now."

Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to explain.

Zhu Mai continued: "Father, he promised to protect my brother and I, saying that our family would be together all the time, but now everything is not counted."

Zhou Xian saw that her eyes were red, as if she was about to shed tears, and sighed slightly and said, "The matter is over, don't think so much."

Zhu Mai looked at Zhou Xian and said, "I know that you and the emperor are protecting me, but I have grown up. I can do things, whether it is as a princess of the Ming Dynasty or..."

She paused and continued, "Zhou Xian, I don't want to stand behind you all the time, and see if you and the emperor brother are killed to the death in the future. I think the people will think of the good things of the Ming Dynasty when they see me in the future. At that time, whether it is you or the emperor brother, they can make some concessions because of my existence. The world is so big, and you can always find a way to coexist, and there is no need to be that way. Like before the Eastern Jin Dynasty, many emperors who were emperors could have a good ending even if the country was destroyed."

Zhou Xian frowned, and his face seemed to be covered with frost. "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I will never do anything to your emperor brother? If your emperor brother can accomplish anything, I will take you on a boat to sea. Who did you hear these messy things, and you are thinking about it every day. Is it Feng Sanjie or someone else? Tell me, see if I don't deal with them."

Zhu Moe shook her head, didn't say anything, and there was a hint of sadness on her face.

Zhou Xian suddenly realized that he was talking a little heavy. He reached out and pulled her to him and said slowly: "So far, your emperor and I have been in exchange for letters. You should know this. As long as there is a talk, there will be room for mutual compromise at any time. I promised you that I will never be the emperor, and I have always been serious about this. Your emperor is doing well in the south, at least much better than I expected at first. What will happen in the future? If you make a decision at that time, you may be able to achieve a win-win situation through negotiations. You don't have to listen to others' nonsense. Your emperor and I are not the kind of person who are willing to do things at the best. You never have to worry about this."

Zhu Ma's expression was slightly relieved, "I want to go to Liaodong not to be persuaded by others, but to decide by myself. I don't want to stay in Shandong and do nothing every day. Also, I don't want to be separated from you."

Zhou Xian nodded gently and pondered for a moment: "If you want to go to Liaodong, then go! But everything must be followed by my arrangements."

Zhu Ma Shi instantly turned sad to joy, "Did you agree?"

Zhou Xian nodded, "I don't know how long I will stay in Liaodong this time. I can feel at ease with you by my side. When I have mourning for three years, I will regain Liaodong. I will give it to you as a gift, and we will get married at that time."

Zhou Xian stayed in Jinan for a few more days, and he wrote a letter to Hong Niangzi.

A few days later, Hong Niangzi sent her personal female guards and four female soldiers back to Jinan. They would protect Zhu Mai's safety as guards.

During this period, Zhou Xian visited Song Yingsheng.

He was the brother of Song Yingxing. He was asked by Zhou Xian that day to go to the capital with Chen Mingxia. Although the time was urgent, he still transported more than 300,000 volumes of various scripts and works, and nearly 1,000 talents.

Zhou Xianben wanted to grant him an official position, but since he returned to Jinan, he has been sorting out those things. Like Song Yingxing, he has a wide range of interests. Especially with technology, he has a different obsession.

Classification, summary, reorganization.

Within a few months, he compiled all the broken copies of the Yongle Encyclopedia into books and published them in booklets. There were also various prescriptions, astronomy, calendar and others.

Except for the firearms that were stipulated by Zhou Xian, it was only limited to internal circulation, all the others were officially issued by him.

For this reason, Zhou Xian also paid money to set up a printing house for him, called Xingjuan Bookstore. It means traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books.

But soon discovered that the books he published were extremely popular and were sold out soon. Luoyang paper was expensive, so soon the little money he invested was paid back, and even a lot of surplus was made.

In addition to these, Xingjuan Bookstore also published some novels and operas by Feng Menglong, and specially sent him 2,000 taels of silver.

This late Ming novelist, who was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Xian, was immediately furious and drove him out with a broom. You can print my book, but you can't insult my character.

Then he wrote another play, which scolded Zhou Xian again. He said that Zhou Xian wanted to buy him with money, and said that he wanted to expose Zhou Xian's shameless face, which had no right to be a monarch and minister, to the world.

Then, under the intentional stimulation of some people, the old man in his seventies, despite his old age and physical weakness, crossed the river north with his two disciples. They set out from his hometown of Changzhou, Suzhou, and headed north all the way to Jinan.

The reason why some people deliberately guided this is that they wanted Zhou Xian to kill Feng Menglong directly. Feng Menglong had no official status, but because of his many works, he had a high reputation among the people.
