After Shen Xizhen returned to the prince's mansion, he immediately entered the study, sat cross-legged in the center of the room, and began to calculate his exercises.

Xiang'er was about to come in and pour tea for her, but when she saw that she was already in a settled state, she hurriedly stood on tiptoe and gently retreated.

Shen Xizhen silently recited the spiritual chapter, concentrating on the exercises, and after a while, the results were calculated. One leaf is like coming, one leaf is a magic barrier, and she sighed when she learned the calculation results.

Chu Zihou must not know about this matter, otherwise he will be very sad, and she doesn't want to turn the two brothers against each other because of this, at that time, it will not be as simple as a grudge between brothers, but a matter related to the future of Xi Kingdom.

Before crossing here, she was a person who wanted to live like air without being noticed but could make people feel comfortable, after crossing here, she didn't want to make herself embark on a completely different path because of a mission, and now she is concerned about her every move, and it is difficult to return to a low profile.

But she also knows very well that the higher a person climbs, the worse he may fall, so she has to be careful to deal with it.

Shen Xizhen asked Xiang'er to bring her a glass of wine and asked her to add a plum to the wine.

She is especially fond of the taste of plums, so she likes to add a plum to both water and wine.

Although Xiang'er didn't understand why she suddenly wanted to drink, she didn't want to ask carefully, so she served the wine as she instructed.

Shen Xizhen sat at the desk and drank wine one by one, while looking out the window and pondering, her expression could not see joy or sorrow.

Xiang'er stepped back gently.

After a glass of wine, Shen Xizhen felt hot. Her mind became more active, and she took out a blank piece of paper and began to write a new plan.

The Mysterious Taoist once told her, 'The most powerful thing is not to defeat the opponent, but to turn the opponent into a friend.' This is also the best way to deal with Chu Zican.

Shen Xizhen already had a bottom in his heart, so he also had a plan for how to deal with him.

In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Xizhen went directly to the palace to see Emperor Guangzhao after inspecting the construction of the highway.

Emperor Guangzhao was discussing things with the two prime ministers, and Shen Xizhen was ready to wait in the room on the side. But Emperor Guangzhao beckoned her in: "Anyway, there is no need to hide the affairs of the Xi Kingdom from you, so what are you doing outside?" ”

Shen Xizhen had no choice but to walk in with a smile and sit down diagonally opposite the two prime ministers.

"Guang'anhou, we were just talking about building a large horse ranch in the Western Regions and Northern Xinjiang." Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile. I could tell he was in a great mood.

Then, the things of the horse ranch should be eight or nine and ten.

Xizhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help asking, "Is there a conclusion then?" ”

"Of course. This morning, the court has already received the support of more than eighty percent of the people, and the support rate of the think tank is even more than ninety, just waiting for the final order of you and the emperor. Shangguan Sichong said.

"I'll release the names of those responsible for this tomorrow." Emperor Guangzhao said.

The two prime ministers got up and took their leave.

After the two prime ministers left, Shen Xizhen said to Emperor Guangzhao: "Your Majesty." There's something I want to tell you. By the way, the new plans of the courtiers. ”

Emperor Guangzhao looked at her while drinking tea and asked, "What's the new plan?" ”

In the past, Emperor Guangzhao was both expectant and apprehensive when he heard her say that she had a new plan, but now, he likes to listen to her very much. After all, every time she proposed a plan, it could bring great benefits to Xi and let the people of Xi see more hope, and now she was a god-like figure in his heart.

Shen Xizhen took out the plan from his pocket and handed it to him.

Emperor Guangzhao unfolded it and took a look.

"Establishing a girls' school?" After seeing this plan, Emperor Guangzhao was shocked.

"That's right, it's a girls' school. Now that the state affairs have basically settled down, we have to think about family affairs. Shen Xizhen said.

Emperor Guangzhao listened quietly. The attitude was a little disapproving. Xi has always pursued the family division of labor between the male and the female protagonist. Once a woman goes to school, she understands the truth and things she knows, and she will want to go out, so can it bring greater benefits to the family? After all, the family is fed by a female host, right?

"Even if a woman doesn't have to go out of the family, if a woman reads more books and knows more great truths, it will also be of great help to raise children, and the courtiers believe that the emperor also feels the same way—are the children of those women who know books and etiquette usually more knowledgeable than those who can't read a family?" Shen Xizhen asked rhetorically.

Emperor Guangzhao nodded.

"The idea of the courtiers is like this--first set up at least three women's schools in each city, recruit school-age girls to study, and invite all female teachers, whose courses are not only arts and sciences, but also piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female red, so the students taught not only know books and etiquette, but also know the skills of the boudoir women, and do not have to worry about not being able to keep a home because of this."

Emperor Guangzhao said: "As soon as this plan is launched, I am afraid that many people will scold you for shaking the status of the woman's family." ”

"The courtiers have long been mentally prepared and are not worried about being scolded. The benefits of this plan will be apparent in the next few years, and the benefits will far outweigh the disadvantages. Shen Xizhen said with great certainty.

"How?"

"Just think about it, the emperor - if a woman can have a husband and a godson, and she can go out of the hall and enter the kitchen, how rare it is, and she can also help her husband give advice on outside affairs, and the way the two get along on weekdays will become more emotional."

That's true.

So Emperor Guangzhao promised to think about this matter.

"Your Majesty, if this plan is worth doing, then the courtiers want to invite the crown princess Hua Yueyu and the fiancée of the third prince, Jiang Weibai, to set an example." Shen Xizhen said.

This is a very convincing and exemplary action, and the talents of these three women are respected by the whole country.

Hearing this, Emperor Guangzhao was in a good mood: "Okay, this is a rare opportunity for the three of you to cooperate." ”

"Yes, the courtiers were busy with other important things in the past, and rarely took into account the feelings of several of them, and this time it is also time for the concubines to join forces to do something."

"It's rare that you have this heart, I'm very happy." Emperor Guangzhao said.

"The list of books that female students should read has also been listed, please ask the emperor to take a look." After that, Shen Xizhen submitted another list to Emperor Guangzhao.

When Emperor Guangzhao saw that he even had "Spring and Autumn", "Historical Records", "Zhou Yi", "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Guanzi", "Mozi", and "Analects", he said: "Women don't need to read "Guanzi", "Historical Records" and "Zhou Yi", right? ”

"It is very necessary, Your Majesty, economics is also involved in a family, and it is beneficial to understand more about the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people." Xi Zhen said busily.

Emperor Guangzhao smiled and said, "Okay, then I will mention this plan to the court tomorrow for discussion, and it is estimated that the men of the entire Xi Kingdom will blame you, and the women will pursue you." ”

Shen Xizhen smiled silently. (To be continued......)
