Two years later, Shen Xi's sister was eighteen years old, because of her beauty and fame, provoked Wuling teenagers to rush to visit, in order to visit his side, it was also the Chu Emperor's choice of concubine, Shen Xi's sister Shen Xue moved Kyoto because of her beauty, and was jointly recommended by the lady of the dynasty to be sent to the palace, the Chu Emperor of the dynasty was fifty years old, although the average life expectancy of the human race is one hundred and two, but the old man who is more than half a hundred years old, plus the perennial longitudinal Yu physical strength has long been much worse than before.

This group of Haoming women has also heard their men mention Han Xue's name for a long time.

After many inquiries, I learned that Han Xue was only the younger sister of the champion two years ago.

The major families in Kyoto are all in the same spirit, many of them are known by their ancestors when they first established Guo, and the major families have genealogies passed down from generation to generation, and each has in-laws in order to be able to promote each other's descendants in the future.

This also led to the formation of major circles in the Yingdu.

But the Shen family, as a new upstart, was not accepted by this ancient family circle.

At the same time, Shen Xi was lucky, because in those two years, Zhengzhi Qingming was able to jump into the dragon gate. But at the same time, it is unfortunate that since him, the children of the family have been waiting for each year, which has also led to the exclusion of the Shen family in Kyoto. Because he's the only one.

As for Han Xue, she is also a victim to a certain extent, after all, so many Haoming ladies got together and jointly recommended that Han Xue be promoted to the palace.

This is to push the women of the Shen family into the fire pit, although the palace is the yearning of many ordinary women, worry-free food and clothing, and noble reputation, but for the children of the big family, the palace is like a living coffin. For wealth and fame, they have no shortage of fame.

The Chu Imperial Palace represents the quanli center of the Chu State, but at the same time, it also formulates many etiquette rules for the people in the palace, and the first priority of everyone's existence is to show the royal majesty, and they cannot have their own feelings.

In addition, although there are no 3,000 beauties in the emperor's harem, many women are unwilling to be abusive and ruthless. After all, no one likes to hear the newcomer laugh and not see the old person cry. And newcomers don't necessarily laugh.

But in the closed environment of the palace, if the concubine wants to live a better life, she has to talk to the emperor and the people around the emperor. If you don't say it, you can't help it.

I have to say that the power of those Haoming ladies joining forces is really great. The killing move is very skillful.

The first beauty in Kyoto entered the palace.

The Wuling boy completely broke off his thoughts, and many Haoming ladies, including the young ladies of various families, watched the jokes on the sidelines.

As for Shen Xue who joined the palace, except for a few people in the Shen family, who cares.

But the royal majesty, even though the Shen family was reluctant in every way, was still full of joy when they got married. Even if the Shen family's father and son are reluctant in every way, it is useless.

At this moment, before Shen Xue got married, Shen Xi suddenly realized his ambition.

Sometimes people only burst out of their power when they are cornered. At this time, Shen Xi seized a path in the dark.

Shen Xi walked to Shen Xue's room the day before Shen Xue's wedding.

I saw that the room was full of red silk, full of paper-cuts, and there were many maids in the room, grooming and dressing, as if they wanted to wash away the mortal dust. The room was a little more lively.

Shen Xue was already beautiful, and after dressing up, she was even more like a fairy.

Of course, the brother and sister grew up at the same time, and Shen Xi didn't feel much of it.

Shen Xi walked into the house and dismissed the surrounding maids.

Shen Xue looked at Shen Xi, from an expressionless delicate beauty to anger, "I'm going to marry into the palace, that old man." The happiness of my life has been ruined!"

Shen Xi was helpless, "Sister, don't be angry." Your arms can't reach your thighs, who told you to look so beautiful, and was jointly reported by that group of women. But it's not an opportunity. ”

"I have only one concubine for the emperor, what is the opportunity? There are so many beautiful women in the concubine, and there is not one more of me. What are you going to do?" Shen Xue naturally knew what kind of temperament her brother had. If you don't say it well, you are good at whimsical, and if you say it well, you have great ambitions. But that won't stop what is going to happen next.

"Sister, our Shen family doesn't have any foundation in Kyoto, and it's not all bad for you to enter the palace. The emperor is also an ordinary man, and he can't listen to the wind on the pillow. Shen Xi said with a smile.

Shen Xue is already smart and clever, and she has read poetry and books since she was a child, so she naturally knows the meaning of Shen Xi's words.

"You mean, let me help you soar to the top? Good you Shen Xi, sell your sister for glory! Pigs and dogs are not as good. Shen Xue was a little annoyed.

Shen Xi hurriedly waved his hand. "Shen Xue, don't get me wrong. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Xi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky with his head held high, looking compassionate.

"It's been almost three years since my Shen family's poor family entered Beijing, but you have also seen that this Kyoto nobleman, one eye is higher than the top, and he can't see the bottom of the cold door, we are also working hard, but it is useless to work hard here. There is no place for it. My wish in life is to hope that all the scholars in the world can have a place to show their ambitions, and I want to open the imperial examination for the Chu State and recruit the poor. Be innovative and enterprising. And not like it is now. ”

Shen Xue's face turned pale, "You are going against the sky! Human nature is so greedy, some want more, and if you don't have it, you won't have it." It's all human nature since ancient times. If you want to open up the road of the poor scholars, in this Chu Kingdom Kyoto, you are disobedient. Those who go against nature and humanity will not end well. ”

Shen Xi smiled fearlessly: "Eight hundred years since the founding of the Chu State, the rich have been rich for generations, and the poor have died in three generations. Empty youth. The children of the gentlemen eat and drink excessively, but they will always enjoy wealth and prosperity for generations. This kind of scene will continue eventually, I have been the champion in the exam so far, although I am also living in a bad night, but I am bad does not mean that I have no conscience. I want to fight on behalf of the world's poor people and open the door to them widely, I want gaige!"

"I won't help you!" Shen Xue replied very resolutely, she understood human nature, and also understood the hearts of the nobles in Kyoto, people's hearts are greedy, and people's hearts are kind. But there is one thing, Shen Xue can be sure that Shen Xi is pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, and his brother seems to be crazy!

If Shen Xi lives in peace like other officials, not seeking to be rich and noble, but at least worry-free for a lifetime, but Shen Xi is different, probably because the sage is stupid and always wants to take revenge, and acts differently from other officials, it seems that he does his own thing and is debauched.

Now it is necessary to open the door of convenience for the world's poor scholars, such a slogan is enough to shout in Shen Xue's opinion, and no one will take it seriously. But Shen Xi seems to really want to do it!

Shen Xue refused very simply.

But Shen Xi was silent, he just didn't leave.

"You don't have an alliance, no one in this Manchu Dynasty official will help you! They also have children and grandchildren! You are going to end your own path again, and you are taking the future of the Shen family into a desperate situation! You can be an idle official honestly and you can have no worries for a lifetime, what good is wading into this troubled water for you? The people who put forward this idea in history are all dead! And it is very miserable!" Shen Xue said angrily.

Shen Xi's stubbornness erupted: "What has been impossible since ancient times, is it still impossible now? Why can't the great harmony of the world be realized? Why do poor scholars have no way out? Just rely on a sentence that princes and generals are all kind? I don't believe it!"

"Hahahaha. Shen Xue smiled and trembled, and her beautiful face became sad. "If you don't believe it, if you don't believe me, I won't be like this, I want to go to the palace as a concubine, you don't believe it, but you are still a dispensable idle job, you don't believe it, the world still runs like this. Heaven is constant, not for Yao to survive or to die. You can't go against humanity and the way of heaven!"
