Lu Peng's recent period has been studying hard behind closed doors, until he heard that his sister-in-law actually chose a major event.

At this moment, he didn't even care about his fame, threw away the scroll, and "broke out" with his shoes, his scholar thought that Lang Jun was going to Feng Shi Lang Xingshi to ask for guilt, and he was so frightened that he followed the bitter persuasion - Lang Jun's temperament was a little impatient, if he was angry and complained, he quarreled with his elders, and was used by someone with a heart to slander Lang Jun for disrespecting his relatives, which would damage the reputation, and it really affected the examination industry, and the lord and mother of Lang would definitely blame him.

But how can the scribe be persuaded? Fortunately, he didn't wait for Lu Peng to rush out of the moon gate, and saw that the little lady was blocking the way, and the scholar was relieved, he also knew that his little lady could speak well without saying anything, and he had always been in harmony with Lang Jun, and the reason why Lang Jun was so angry was not because of the little lady's lifelong event, the little lady had come forward, and should be able to persuade Lang Jun Mo to argue with Feng Shilang, so the scholar also avoided to Lao Yuan with confidence, leaving only the brother and sister to speak here, but just in case, he still stayed on the way to the main courtyard.

Lu Jiacheng knew that his brother would not give up after learning about it, so instead of waiting for his brother to ask for guilt, it was better to take the initiative.

"Ajia, this is your will?" Lu Peng may not be unclear, if his sister agrees first, his uncle will never be able to make his own opinion, he just never thought that his sister who has always insisted and longed for a wanton and quiet life will be willing to step into the quagmire of the deep palace, he did not enter the office, and the daughter of the Lu family did not marry into the royal family, but he also knew that in the deep palace, behind the magnificence, there are many hardships and treacherous, even if today's son is wise and martial, maybe different from those emperors who indulge in ruthlessness and righteousness, but the court is still in this world, Where the rules are the strictest and the most unruly at the same time, he doesn't believe that his sister will really look forward to a quiet life within the palace walls, without freedom and never possible.

"Yes, that's what Kayuki wants." Jia Cheng stood under the camphor tree, tilted his cheeks slightly, and looked firmly into his brother's serious eyes.

"I don't approve of it."

"I know that my brother will not approve, but Aya A-Niang has been persuaded by me, and now Geng Ti has been handed into the Ministry of Rites by my uncle, and the wood is already in the boat, and Jia is willing to be reproached by my brother."

"You!"

Lu Peng threw a punch at Qingzhang to vent his anger, but in the face of his sister's unflinching insistence, he could only retract his fist helplessly, clenched his back behind his waist, he shook his head, not without frustration: "I don't want to blame you, but Ajia, do you know what this means?" I'm your brother, I want you to be happy, I can't watch you being used as a pawn, because you are confused for a while, and your life will be ruined! ”

"Brother, the saint is the person I admire, so the alternative is my will, I have not been used by anyone, and I am not a pawn of anyone." Jia Cheng took a step forward, she stood in the shade of the tree, but the dense branches and leaves did not cover the bright eyes: "At that time, the brothers took refuge in Luoyang, and the brothers lamented the danger of China, but how many scholars were powerless, and could only watch the imperial court abandon Jingdong and flee, although the war did not affect Luoyang for the time being, but as far as the eye could see, they were all panicked and depressed, at that time, not only my father and brother, but even my mother and I, as well as the daughters and dependents of the families who did not care about the national politics, also felt that the peace and tranquility would be gone, and we were full of sorrow for the future, and the fate of the slaves of the country would be destroyed." , frightened and afraid. ”

Jia Cheng does remember those days deeply, she remembers that she would be awakened by nightmares almost every night, she watched her brother and friends because of their inability to save the society, drinking every day, watching even her father, who had always been strict with herself, even began to use wine to drown her sorrows, the strong mother began to sigh with a sad face, and the sister-in-law was holding her babbling little nephew in her arms, and she was filled with frustration and despair, she was confused and helpless, she cried and asked her grandfather, if she could no longer stop the barbarian iron horse, attacking the city and plundering the land in the Great Zhou, is it that they can only wait for a life of being enslaved and bullied by an alien race, the grandfather is silent.

At that time, she thought that her grandfather was also powerless.

"It wasn't until King Jin came to visit my grandfather that I knew that it was far from despair, that there was still hope for my family and country, and we might not become slaves of the country." Jia Cheng's eyes became more and more burning, recalling the first glance: "I stood around the corner and quietly peeped, the King of Jin was dressed in armor and was full of spirit, during that time I saw more depressed men, and listened to more pessimistic and desperate remarks, I thought that no one had the ability to save China from falling, but I saw the King of Jin, and saw him swaggering with confidence, I never thought that the King of Jin was such a heroic and heroic man, I believed in him, brother, because at a glance I believed in King Jin, he could save the country, He was able to reinvigorate his subjects in despair, he was able to lead the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry to expel the barbarians from the Guanwai, he was able to clean up this decadent country, and he was able to prosper with splendor. ”

The woman who was in the prime of life unfolded a charming smile: "Once, I thought that the person who would win my heart in the future should be like a brother, polite and talented, but since that day, I know that this is far from enough, eloquent and heroic can really make my heart break, I understand my heart for the first time, understand what love is, and then I heard that the king of Jin ascended to the throne and became the emperor, I know this life, I can only look up to the person I admire, I regret this life, I can't even talk to him, I can only be far away from him, Keep your thoughts hidden. ”

Although she has been emotional, but the difference between the world and the abyss, Jia Cheng knows that as a lady of a famous family of poetry and books, it should be impossible to choose a harem, and her grandfather who loves her will not be willing to send her into the palace, and share the favor of the king with three thousand beauties, she also understands that the king who is high above will never give her the affection of a couple for a lifetime, she once had no extravagant thoughts, but she knows that in this life, in her heart, no one can replace this man who made her fall in love at first sight.

Regret gloomy her, and she once thought about compromising with her parents' orders, but she was more aware of her unwillingness, and she could only choose to give up before she worked hard.

Can a couple in a lifetime really be happy? She knew that if she married someone else, she would miss the intersection with the man she admired so much, and for her, it would be an irreparable regret, and a flaw that she couldn't make up for no matter how hard she tried.

"Brother, I want to go to the Holy Lord's side, this is my will and choice, no matter what the outcome will be in the future, I am ready to bear it, because it makes no difference to me whether I am alone in the court or in the house. I know that my decision is willful and selfish, and I will definitely disgrace my family and damage the reputation of the family of poetry and books, but I don't want to give up this line of hope, brother, in my life, there is only this opportunity to fight. ”

After speaking, he saluted his brother: "I hope my brother will be perfect." ”

Lu Peng looked at his obsessive sister, and finally could only sigh: "Ajia, you know me, why did you ever care about fame and profit?" Ajia admires the saint, not for vanity, you don't need to be ashamed, let alone think you are inferior, I am afraid that it is...... Uncle insisted on sending you into the palace, what he wanted was shameful, the deep palace was sinister, every step was terrifying, if you neglected the pool, you might set yourself on fire, Ajia, are you really determined to be the fire-fighting moth? ”

"Even if he burns himself and destroys himself, Jia has no regrets." The woman looked up again: "Brother, I know my uncle's plot, and I also understand that my brother and my uncle have different political views, and I have always admired the descendants such as Doctor Liu, Xue Shilang, etc., Jia doesn't know how to govern power, but I believe that the saint is wise, and it is impossible to indulge the dictatorship of relatives as my uncle said, and the society will be in danger, and the saint loves the queen and values the descendants, it must be because the queen and her family are trustworthy, so brother rest assured, I will not listen to my uncle's words, and my behavior is against the holy will, and my brother is good friends with Liu Langjun, I don't have to have scruples because I entered the palace, Jia chose this path, not because of greed, after entering the palace, I will not be implicated in the family will be in the way of politics, if I can fight for a little affection from the saint, for Jia's luck, if not, Jia will definitely not do despicable things because of jealousy, damage to my Lu family's backbone, Brother will enter the government in the future, do not worry about my situation in the harem, I also believe that Brother can serve the monarch with sincerity. ”

This is actually a euphemistic statement to her brother that after entering the palace, no matter whether she is alive or dead, she will bear it herself, and she will have nothing to do with her family.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he did not pay much attention to the precepts that the harem could not interfere in politics, such as Gaozu back then, who favored Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu, these two women because of the gap with the King of Qin, that is, the later Taizong, supported the prince politically, and repeatedly slandered and slandered the King of Qin with the intention of rebellion, which eventually led to the cannibalism of the prince and the King of Qin, the change of Xuanwumen, the King of Qin won and forced Gaozu to abdicate.

Therefore, Emperor Taizong was very disgusted with women interfering in politics, and preferred women with the character of gentleness and virtue, but he did not strictly declare that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and even relied on relatives quite much.

Not to mention Gaozong and Mingzong, according to the differences in the emperor's temperament, the concubines have participated in politics more or less, but whenever they are favored, there are interest groups behind them, and even the princess and the attached horse group have also had several major cases of rebellion, and often the honor and disgrace of the concubines in the palace must be implicated in the rise and fall of their respective families.

This is also the real famous family of poetry and books, and is unwilling to recommend their daughter into the palace as the fundamental reason for the concubine, the family of poetry and books, with pure ministers, virtuous and proud, they pay attention to the voice of the commentary, but also from time to time to the voice of the discipline themselves, they mostly occupy the important position, do not seek power and wealth, they do not want to be involved in the power struggle because of their daughter into the palace.

But it's not that since there has been a week, the harem has never been a daughter of the poetry and book clan - after all, the imperial power is above all else, if the emperor insists on hiring the daughter of the poetry and book family, the resistance will be lost, and the family that would rather take on the disaster of the Yi clan for this kind of thing is a very small number after all, not to mention that even if the poetry and book clan tastes the benefits of power, there are also many people who gradually become greedy and transition to the clan of power.

Like Jingzhao Lu, at first it was also a poetry and book family, when Emperor Gaozong, because he heard that the Lu family had the color of the country, he was hired into the palace, first named the concubine, and then the queen, the Lu family has been prominent since then, and gradually no one remembers that they are the family of poetry and books.

But the Lu and Feng families are indeed famous families of poetry and books for hundreds of years, and no daughter has ever entered the palace, which is also the reason why Feng Jizheng, the head of the family, is gradually greedy, but he has to have some scruples.

If Lu Zhengming was alive, he would definitely not approve of his granddaughter entering the palace, because he understood that once he was involved in the harem dispute, it would be difficult not to be implicated by power and gradually change the truth of the court.

However, although Duke Lu had the intention to assist He Ye to set things right and restore the rule of the prosperous world, but before that, out of despair of the chaotic government of the Empress Dowager Wei, he had already decided to cultivate obscurity and teach his children and nephews, all of whom put academics first, and cultivated the temperament of Lu Ruan's generation who had no quarrel with the world and was completely ignorant of officialdom and scheming. Therefore, Lu Zhengming can only work his eldest grandson Lu Peng, hoping that his grandson can inherit his will and assist a generation of Ming Jun.

Jia Cheng was also trained and raised by Lu Gong, although she did not know how to power politics, but she also understood her grandfather's hopes for her eldest brother and the future plan for the family, so she declared to her eldest brother that although she entered the palace, she would resolutely not interfere in political affairs, and she did not want to implicate the family and her brother because of her willfulness and selfishness.

But can things really be so clear?

Lu Peng was not sure, he had not yet taken the exam, so he fell into a deep confusion.
