《Yu Ting Yao》E1Plot

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 1 plot introduction

At Shazhou Girls' School, Meng Tinghui excitedly ran into the school holding the predictions for the women's imperial examination and rural examinations that he had compiled, and announced that he was going to sell the predictions for forty taels of silver.At that time, there were very few people who could predict the test questions, not to mention that Meng Tinghui offered a high price. Even so, some wealthy classmates were still willing to pay a high price to buy it, because someone got a high score last time by relying on Meng Tinghui's prediction of the questions, and there were three identical questions.

Seeing that the deal was about to be completed, Jiang Meier suddenly rushed in arrogantly, slapped the classmate who wanted to buy the prediction questions, and then warned Meng Tinghui coldly that she was not allowed to sell predictions in the future. Last time, it was because someone bought her predictions that she came last in the exam.

Jiang Meier can also buy Meng Tinghui's prediction questions, but this person is very lazy. Not only does he not study, he also doesn't let others use the prediction questions to get high scores.Meng Tinghui originally wanted to argue, but Jiang Meier directly took Meng Tinghui's personal confession documents and threatened to destroy the personal confession documents if she disobeyed, so that she would not even have a chance to participate in the provincial examination.Jiang Meier had been acting unscrupulously for a long time because she was a relative of Ding Chong, the governor of Shazhou. Meng Tinghui tolerated it in every possible way, but today this woman actually stole Meng Tinghui's personal confession document. This made Meng Tinghui intolerable. Taking advantage of Jiang Meier's opportunity to wave the dagger in front of her, Meng Tinghui grabbed it with her backhand and put the dagger against Jiang Meier's neck.

Jiang Meier's face changed with fright. She knew that if the dagger in Meng Tinghui's hand stabbed down just a little bit, her life would be in danger. Jiang Meier hurriedly returned the personal confession document to Meng Tinghui and ran away in a panic.

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 1 plot introduction

When Meng Tinghui was studying at Shazhou Girls' School, he made a good friend named Yan Fuzhi. This man was simple, kind, and always upright. When he heard that Meng Tinghui had been wronged by Jiang Meier, he suggested that Meng Tinghui move in with her to avoid being angered again.Meng Tinghui knew that Yan Fuzhi meant well, but Yan Fuzhi's mother acted like she was guarding against thieves every time she saw Meng Tinghui, which made Meng Tinghui uncomfortable.Meng Tinghui heard Yan Fuzhi complaining about her grievances. Yan Fuzhi's mother insisted on forcing Yan Fuzhi to marry early. Yan Fuzhi didn't want to be restrained at all now. Both she and Meng Tinghui yearned for a free life.

Meng Tinghui heard Yan Fuzhi say that her mother was going to leave the Bo Feng Building to her to take care of the soon-to-be-closed house. If Yan Fuzhi could not earn three hundred taels in a short period of time, he must get married quickly.For Yan Fuzhi, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky, but Meng Tinghui had his heart set on it.She disguised herself as a famous actress from Kyoto. Yan Fuzhi did a lot of publicity and packaged it for Meng Tinghui. She wore a veil and dressed up and appeared on a float in the downtown area. Many people told each other that the famous actress from Kyoto was coming to the Bofeng Tower to perform for three days. Suddenly, the Bofeng Tower became lively.

Meng Tinghui's plan was originally very clever, but this day happened to be the anniversary of the death of the old lady of Black Tiger Hall. Feng Lu, the head of Black Tiger Hall, had always done many evil things. On the anniversary of his mother's death, the people of the whole city had to wear mourning for him.If they don't comply, they will all be killed, even the newlyweds getting married on the same day. The groom will be killed on the spot, with blood splattered on the spot, leaving the newlyweds wearing phoenix crowns and harems crying.The British widow passed by this place and saw the bride holding the groom and crying inconsolably. She felt cruel and hurried over to see who was responsible.

When Feng Lu saw Meng Tinghui and Yan Fuzhi's busy Bo Feng Building, he immediately became jealous and felt that they were in trouble with him, so he ordered his men to kill them. Meng Tinghui saw that the situation was wrong and quickly apologized and wanted to close the business and pay homage to the old lady. However, Feng Lu pressed forward step by step and saw that the knife in the opponent's hand was about to fall down. At this time, Yingzi stepped forward and saved the two lives.

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 1 plot introduction

Meng Tinghui saw that Yingzi had bright eyes and sparse eyebrows, unusual conversation, and an accent that was not like the locals, so he pushed Yingzi out and asked Feng Lu of Black Tiger Hall not to vent his anger on her and Yan Fuzhi.Yan Fuzhi saw through Meng Tinghui's little trick, sneered, and decisively took away Meng Tinghui's personal confession documents.

Meng Tinghui could not help but list the various charges against Ding Chong, the governor of Shazhou, without a personal confession. When the British widow heard that a woman had to pay a hundred taels for the examination fee to take the provincial examination, she couldn't help but marvel. The examination issued by the imperial court was free of charge. When it came to Ding Chong, it was a hundred gold. It can be seen that this man was used to dominate the local people.

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 2 plot introduction

Jiang Mei'er heard that Yan Fuzhi had reopened Bo Feng Tower and that the business was booming. She had always been jealous, so when she heard that someone was better at doing business than her, she took a few of her men to make a scene.

In Bofeng Building, Jiang Mei'er saw a classmate doing something for Yan Fuzhi, and asked the lackey next to her to scald the classmate's hand with boiling water. Yan Fuzhi came out in time to stop. Jiang Mei'er usually hated Yan Fuzhi for always helping Meng Tinghui. This time, she refused to give up and ordered her men to smash the shop immediately.After smashing up the store, you have to meet the legendary actress.

Meng Tinghui tried to stay calm. She came to Jiang Meier wearing a veil and gently closed the door so that the crowd watching outside would no longer know what was happening inside Bo Feng Tower.After closing the door, Meng Tinghui deliberately walked around Jiang Meier, and then quietly sprinkled a circle of lin powder around them. After completing the preparations, Meng Tinghui took off his veil.

When Jiang Meier saw that it was Meng Tinghui pretending to be Situ Xue, a famous actress from the capital, she immediately burst out laughing, thinking that Meng Tinghui was a poor man.Meng Tinghui stood in front of Jiang Meier with a sneer, reminding her that it was still too late to apologize to Yan Fuzhi and pay double compensation for the things she had just smashed.Jiang Meier was still indifferent, Meng Tinghui took out a match, lit it and threw it on the Linfen, and the surrounding area immediately caught fire.

Meng Tinghui also stood in the burning circle, and she suggested that no one could escape unscathed.The lackeys around Jiang Meier were afraid that they would be implicated and die, so they quickly knelt down and begged Meng Tinghui, hoping to show their favor. Jiang Meier saw that Meng Tinghui still had a lot of Linfen in his hands. If he continued to talk harshly, his life might not be saved, so she had no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy.

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 2 plot introduction

Seeing Jiang Meier's frightened face, Meng Tinghui sadly recalled that when Jiang Meier bullied others, why couldn't he feel the pain of the victim?Now Jiang Meier was at fault first, and her life was in Meng Tinghui's hands. When Meng Tinghui asked her to pull out all the gold jewelry on her head, she immediately had to do it.Seeing that Jiang Meier was okay with admitting her mistake, Meng Tinghui finally let her go.

That night, Yan Fuzhi took stock of the business in the past few days and found that he had earned more than three hundred taels of silver. Excluding the cost of treating burns for his classmates, he completed the plan set by his mother. Yan Fuzhi hugged Meng Tinghui and cheered, and held out the cakes he bought for her during the day.Seeing this pastry, Meng Tinghui thought of Sister Axiang. He had fled with her, but unfortunately he was discovered and kidnapped again. Sister Axiang was humiliated and eventually died tragically.The young Meng Tinghui watched helplessly as his beloved sister was humiliated. She was tied to an iron cage and could not move at all. Now she had offended Jiang Meier. She didn't know what kind of trouble they would face in the future. Knowing that they had completely offended the governor, they might not have many good days in the future.

Xu Ting, the left prime minister, has been in control of the government all year round and has made the previous dynasty a mess. The new monarch, the elite and the few are like puppets with blindfolded eyes and blocked ears, unable to see the real world outside.During the day, because of Meng Tinghui's little tricks, Yingzi met the imperial guard Huo An. Yingzi wanted to escape from the guard's eyes, so he found Meng Tinghui again and learned from her some of the crimes of the Shazhou governor. Meng Tinghui heard Yingzhu's troubles and took action again to help Yingwi lure away the imperial guard.

After getting along with each other for these two days, Yingwu felt that the little woman in front of her, Meng Tinghui, was extremely intelligent, weak on the surface, but extremely tough on the inside, unpredictable, and as broad-minded as a man.Before leaving, Yingzi meaningfully reminded Meng Tinghui that there would be a future, but Meng Tinghui prayed for the best and that there would be no future. In the past, she had used various methods to get rid of Yingwi, and even made him a scapegoat several times. This experience may not have a good impression on her.

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 2 plot introduction

Zuo Xiangguo Xu Ting heard that the emperor was in seclusion. After careful calculation, it had been several days. He broke into the palace late at night and found that there was really a fake emperor inside. Zuo Xiangguo was very angry and worried that many things could not be controlled when the emperor left the palace. He immediately ordered his men to work hard to find the emperor within five days.

Meng Tinghui was quickly taken away by the government officials, and Yan Fuzhi's shop was also stigmatized and sealed.Yan Fuzhi went back and took out all his jewelry and gold and silver jewelry, hoping to redeem Meng Tinghui, but his stepmother gave Yan Fuzhi's order to others.

When Jiang Meier ran to find Ding Chong to frame Meng Tinghui, Yingzi happened to be present. He went to Ding Chong's mansion in person and found that this man was shameless. There was a severe drought here and the people regarded water as gold, but Ding Chong used it to water flowers and grass and did not do business every day.The British widow learned from Jiang Meier that Meng Tinghui had been arrested, and he decided to return to the palace as soon as possible.

Jiang Meier went to the prison to take revenge, but found that Meng Tinghui and the jailers were having fun, and the guards gave her food and drink. Jiang Meier directly tied up Meng Tinghui and beat her with a whip. In order to make Meng Tinghui completely despair, Jiang Meier also burned Meng Tinghui's personal confession documents in front of her.Late at night, Meng Tinghui shed her last tear. She threw the remaining fragments of the personal confession documents into the fire, then opened the prison door with the stolen key, and escaped.

The British widow still had to go to Jiuyou City. He had already investigated Ding Chong's private purchase of arms, which was a serious crime in the court. The only one who could get the evidence was Jiuyou City. Meng Tinghui had expected this and had already guarded the gate of Jiuyou City.

Meng Tinghui met Yingzhu and negotiated a deal with him directly, hoping that Yingzhu could give him the qualification to take the scientific examination. In return, Meng Tinghui could help Yingzhu get what he wanted in Jiuyou City.

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 3 plot introduction

Yingwu considered that although Meng Tinghui was full of tricks, he was not inferior to men in terms of strategy and courage. Moreover, he was not familiar with the terrain of Jiuyou City at all. Multiple people could have multiple ways out, and the two hit it off immediately.

Meng Tinghui and Yingzi successfully sneaked into Jiuyou City, and then asked “Wanshitong” for evidence on how Ding Chong purchased ordnance, thus revealing his own purpose. Jiuyou City was controlled by the Black Tiger Hall. Ding Chong once told the people of the Black Tiger Hall that if they found out that the purpose of coming here was not pure, they would all be killed.

Feng Lu ordered people to throw Meng Tinghui and Yingzhu into the snake cave. Yingzhu was very good at martial arts, and with the lin powder in Meng Tinghui's hand, the two quickly got rid of the poisonous snakes, and then found a way out and escaped.The Yingwu captured the thieves first and captured the king first. They first controlled Feng Lu and found ironclad evidence of Ding Chong's various transactions from him. Soon the Royal Forest Guard Huang Bo led people to surround Jiuyou City.

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 3 plot introduction

At that time, Ding Chong was still thinking of destroying all evidence, so he killed Feng Lu with random arrows. Huang Bo was about to escort Ding Chong back to the court, but a mysterious woman killed Ding Chong with flying arrows.Ding Chong has been eliminated, and one of Zuo Xiangguo's sharp minions has been cut off.People who usually followed Ding Chong to the common people fled for their lives, including the arrogant and domineering Jiang Meier, who wore a peasant woman's clothes and fled quietly.

The British widow's purpose of traveling to Shazhou has been achieved. According to the agreement, he went to see Meng Tinghui with the prepared personal confession documents.Meng Tinghui had been waiting there early, and the spring breeze blew on his face when he saw the widow. In order to express his gratitude, Meng Tinghui treated the widow to a meal. The mutton soup warmed the stomach and heart. The previous cooperation had been very tacit. After the meal, the two of them galloped on the highest point of the sandbank. Facing the vast desert, the widow asked where Meng Tinghui came from.After learning so many skills, Meng Tinghui smiled apologetically. When she and her sister were caught here by traffickers, they had to undergo a lot of training from the traffickers in order to survive. They experienced inhuman torture and her sister died as a result. These little tricks may not look good to outsiders, but they are their only means of making a living.The two talked about the past, and some of them understood each other's feelings better. When the time came, the British widow was going back to the palace. Before leaving, she made an appointment with Meng Tinghui to meet up later.

He originally wanted to ask the maid next to him to bring her long-cherished peach blossom wine, but when he turned around, he saw that two nymphomaniacs had already arrived, and the two women were vying to toast Shen Zhishu first.

Fu Fenglou was so angry that he stopped taking the peach blossom wine. At this time, the young man who always relied on Jiang Mei to do evil came running, hoping that Yan Fuzhi would not care about his previous mistakes, and begged Yan Fuzhi to teach him business strategies. Yan Fuzhi heard that the other party was pushing the envelope and beat him out with a big stick.

Seeing that the dignified seven-foot-tall man was beaten and fled by a female prostitute, Shen Zhishu was really amazed at Yan Fuzhi's bravery. He originally wanted to persuade him, but Yan Fuzhi turned around and glared, accusing Shen Zhishu of not distinguishing between black and white. He was so angry that he kicked Shen Zhishu out, and immediately said that Shen Zhishu was never welcome to Fu Feng Tower.

Shen Zhishu seems to be idle on weekdays, but he is actually a court official. Last time, it was because he secretly helped the British widow to conduct a private visit, which made his father blame him and scold his son for his treason.When Yingzi went to Shen Zhishu's house, he happened to see his father beating Shen Zhishu. It was a scene of a loving father and a filial son. Yingzi was very envious.

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 4 plot introduction

Now everyone in the court knew that Zuo Xiangguo had controlled the government for many years and had many party members. The British widow and the Right Xiangguo discussed to eradicate the treasonous and rebellious parties. Now that the evidence had been obtained, the British widow felt that the time had come. He returned to the court and couldn't wait to arrange for some loyal ministers to take the initiative to impeach the Left Prime Minister.

In the court, You Xiangguo took out the evidence that Ding Chong had secretly bought weapons there. The evidence was conclusive. At that time, the British widows withdrew the military power of the You Xiangguo party members and handed over the important task of defending the capital to their cronies.

Yan Fuzhi accompanied Meng Tinghui to participate in the provincial examination. Finally, Meng Tinghui won the first place due to his strength. Yan Fuzhi was very excited and immediately took the initiative to give porridge for three days to congratulate Meng Tinghui.Yan Fuzhi's father heard her stepmother's instigation and went directly to the soup kitchen to scold his daughter for being extravagant and wasteful. She followed Meng Tinghui every day and did not do her job properly. Her stepmother also fanned the flames and wanted Yan Fuzhi to get married early.

Yan Fuzhi was so hurt by his father's words that his eyes almost turned red. Meng Tinghui appeared in time and congratulated Yan Fuzhi's father in front of everyone. In order to reward Yan Fuzhi's family for helping Jieyuan, the court specially sent a plaque to commend Yan Fuzhi.Meng Tinghui brought fame to Yan Fuzhi's family, and Yan Fuzhi's parents naturally did not dare to interfere with Yan Fuzhi anymore.

After a short preparation, Yan Fuzhi and Meng Tinghui went to Beijing together.The young man got the list of the winners of the Provincial Examination and found out that the big names this year were Shen Zhili and Meng Tinghui.Shen Zhili is the daughter of You Xiangguo. Because she comes from a scholarly official family, she has been exposed to the guidance of famous teachers. She is usually proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

《Yu Ting Yao》 Episode 5 plot introduction

In Jiuyou City, Yingwu had already captured Ding Chong, but a masked woman ruined the situation. At that time, the masked woman stabbed Ding Chong in the vital part with a flying arrow, killing him on the spot.The British widows returned to the capital and specifically asked Shen Zhishu to investigate the matter thoroughly. They only had one arrow that hit Ding Chong. There were exquisite patterns on the arrow, but there were several foreigners around who were watching eagerly, so they really couldn't be sure.The British widow gave Shen Zhishu a seal to make it easier for him to travel around and investigate.

Zuo Xiangguo had always disagreed with the British widows allowing women to take part in scientific examinations. In order to exert pressure, he even sent a plaque to the palace. The current intention was to remind the British widows that monarchs and ministers should not fall in love. The British widows ignored it and still accepted the order.Not only that, Zuo Xiangguo also asked the shortlisted candidates to go to the Jiaofang to take the examination. Only those who can withstand the training and assessment can count.

Meng Tinghui met Shen Zhili by chance when he was participating in the examination, and he just realized that the capital city is a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Shen Zhili came to pick up his sister in person. He felt sorry for his sister who worked so hard for the exam. In fact, she could have relied on the family's support to find an official position in the court, but her sister insisted on taking the normal path and relying on her true talents and learning step by step.

Tomorrow is the day when the results will be released. Yan Fuzhi and Meng Tinghui set off Kongming lanterns on the bridge to pray, hoping that they can go to high school tomorrow.After finally getting to the time when the results were released, Meng Tinghui and Yan Fuzhi went to look at the results with great anticipation. However, after looking over and over again, they couldn't find Meng Tinghui's name.

《Yu Ting Yao》 Episode 5 plot introduction

Meng Tinghui couldn't accept the result that day. She had worked hard for so many years and finally had the opportunity to get to where she is now. How could she not be on the list?The emperor Yingwu also read the test papers of the students who took the examination. Among them, Huiyuan's articles were very similar to Meng Tinghui's writing in terms of sentences and methods. However, the person who passed the Huiyuan exam this time was a woman named An Rulan, while Meng Tinghui did not have a name.

In the evening, Meng Tinghui was sitting at his desk feeling sad. He finally had this opportunity but failed. He was feeling depressed when he was suddenly strangled by a piece of white silk around his neck.Soon, Yan Fuzhi brought some cakes to comfort Meng Tinghui. He lit the candle and saw that Meng Tinghui had hanged himself from the beam. Yan Fuzhi quickly put down Bai Ling and rescued Meng Tinghui for a while. Finally, Meng Tinghui was saved.

After Meng Tinghui woke up, she explained to Yan Fuzhi that she was not looking for short-sightedness, but that someone had just wanted her life. It seemed that she had blocked other people's way. The security in the capital should not be like this. Without further ado, Meng Tinghui decided to return to her hometown with Yan Fuzhi the next day.

In the early morning, Meng Tinghui and Yan Fuzhi had packed their luggage and were preparing to return. On the way, they heard many students reciting Huiyuan's masterpieces. Meng Tinghui heard that the content of this policy review was clearly written by himself, so how could it become someone else's article.The more she thought about it, the more bizarre it became. If she didn't pursue the case, she might never have another chance in the future, let alone a Huiyuan student. Meng Tinghui decided to take a gamble. She and Yan Fuzhi found someone to write a lot of news that they suspected would be false in the exam. These tabloids were all spread in the downtown area, and the matter of cheating in the exam was widely known throughout the city.

《Yu Ting Yao》 Episode 6 plot introduction

Meng Tinghui intended to make the matter bigger and brought many onlookers and scholars who had just finished the scientific examination to meet the governor.The governor was Dong Shoucai. Hearing that someone openly questioned the authenticity of the imperial examination, he ordered his subordinates to call this year's Huiyuan.

Meng Tinghui was also very curious before, who was going to be the imposter. When he saw Huiyuan himself, Meng Tinghui immediately understood that the imposter was not someone else, but Jiang Meier!Jiang Meier's uncle is already dead. What method can he use to be so bold now?Meng Tinghui asked to test the knowledge of the two people in court, and then gave Jiang Meier some scriptures that she often memorized. It turned out that Jiang Meier knew nothing about it, and it was clear at a glance whether Huiyuan's identity was real or fake. Meng Tinghui believed that the governor could distinguish and uphold justice for her. Unexpectedly, the governor had already been bribed by Jiang Meier, but he put Meng Tinghui in jail.

There was another reason why Jiang Meier was able to impersonate her. She saw that her uncle was dead. In order to find a backer for herself, Jiang Meier committed herself to a leader of Xiaohutang named Lu Er. He was attracted by her beauty and naturally obeyed her words.

《Yu Ting Yao》 Episode 6 plot introduction

Fu Yin just put Meng Tinghui into prison and did not execute him immediately. In fact, he was moved by compassion. The reason why he helped Meng Tinghui and the people of Xiaohutang was because Fu Yin's family members had been kidnapped, and their lives would be in danger if they disobeyed orders.

Seeing Meng Tinghui being taken into prison, Jiang Meier immediately asked Lu Er, her bedfellow, to help her vent her anger. Meng Tinghui was severely tortured by Jiang Meier in prison. Not only that, Jiang Meier also asked the jailer to set fire to her in an attempt to burn Meng Tinghui to death.Meng Tinghui used all his strength to knock open the prison door. Jiang Meier took a dagger and tried to kill Meng Tinghui in the chaos. At the critical moment, Yingzi came with someone.Seeing that something was wrong, Lu Er of the Huxiao Gang fled immediately, leaving Jiang Meier to be brought to justice.

Fortunately, Meng Tinghui was saved. She vaguely saw a familiar figure, which was the widow. The widow had saved her from fire and water many times. The grateful Meng Tinghui fell into the arms of the widow.Later, the widow asked Zhili to come into the palace to take care of Meng Tinghui. After two days of sleeping, Meng Tinghui woke up slowly.

《Yu Ting Yao》 Episode 6 plot introduction

The first thing Meng Tinghui did after waking up was to go to the prison to see Jiang Meier. She took a piece of paper and a pen and told Jiang Meier in detail how she engaged in corruption and colluded with officials. She also reminded her that this was the only chance to survive.Jiang Meier didn't obey at first, but when she heard that she could survive, she immediately picked up the banknotes and told the whole story about her collusion with the scientific expedition officials.Meng Tinghui saw Jiang Meier's detailed confession and immediately changed his mind, saying that originally Jiang Meier should be cut into pieces for her crime, but now the emperor agreed to give her a whole body and sent her to personally supervise, and Jiang Meier was hanged from a beam to commit suicide.

At first, he didn't take Yingzi seriously at all. Now that Meng Tinghui learned Yingzi's true identity, he was ecstatic and wanted to hold Yingwi tightly so that he could have a big tree that he could rely on in the palace in the future. Meng Tinghui began to look for opportunities to meet Yingwi, and he did not hesitate to create chance encounters to confuse the other party.

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 7 plot introduction

On a rainy night, Meng Tinghui was sure that the widow would come. She held a pot of wine in her hand and waited for a long time on the only road she must pass, like a familiar hunter.When he saw the figure of the widow, Meng Tinghui immediately drank a bottle of wine, then pretended to be slightly drunk and began to improvise poems, thinking that the widow had always cherished talents, and might be deeply impressed by her.

The young man helped the drunken Meng Tinghui back, and asked the guards to bring him an umbrella, so that the imperial doctor could diagnose and treat him. The doctor's diagnosis and treatment was just a slight cold, so the young man felt relieved. As the king of a country, the young man had been suppressed by Zuo Xiangguo since he was a child, and he had seen countless people. Seeing Meng Tinghui's expression, the young man guessed that Meng Tinghui was deliberately getting close to him, so he simply pretended not to understand and used the trick.

The results of the joint examination have come out, and next is the palace examination. Meng Tinghui began to prepare intensively for the examination. Late at night, she wrote a letter to Yan Fuzhi, saying in the letter that she wanted to avenge her sister and needed power to fulfill her wish, so that Yan Fuzhi could wait with peace of mind.

Zuo Xiangguo did not agree with women participating in the imperial examination. Without the emperor's consent, he openly announced to the world that he would permanently abolish women's civil service.When the British widow was discussing politics in the previous dynasty, she originally wanted to veto the opinions of Zuo Xiangguo, but Zuo Xiangguo first quoted the ancestral teachings and said that women should not go to court due to cholera. Then, seeing that the British widow was not able to make progress, he began to hint that he was still the tutor of the British widow and that it was treasonous to continue to oppose his mentor.

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 7 plot introduction

The British widow was simply furious, but there were still many forces from the left prime minister in the previous dynasty, so he could not bear to do anything.After resigning from the court, the British widows were so angry that they went directly to the library to look for the laws of the Tang Dynasty, trying to use the laws to overthrow the left prime minister.Meng Tinghui was also in the library at that time. After she saw the announcement that Enke was to be abolished, she became angry because her lifelong wish was to avenge her sister. Enke was the only chance to get close to power. According to Meng Tinghui's understanding, the British widow had always supported the woman Enke and wanted to use this initiative to overthrow the left prime minister.

Meng Tinghui came up with a clever plan for the widows. According to the law, if court officials can be recommended for them, and then students from all over the world jointly petition, and the people want it, it will be possible. The key is to find someone who can recommend the women.Meng Tinghui begged Yingzi to leave the matter to her. After getting Yingzi's permission, Meng Tinghui went to Zhili and asked Zhili to make an appointment with You Xiangguo.

When You Xiangguo heard Meng Tinghui's intention, he didn't agree with it at first, but Zhili was his valued disciple, and he hoped that Zhili, who studied hard every day, would have a good future, so he won the battle in the end.

Now that the Right Prime Minister has recommended these female students, all the students who want to participate in Encore have written a joint letter of recommendation and gathered together at the door of the Left Prime Minister, hoping that the Left Prime Minister can listen to public opinion.Zuo Xiangguo asked them what their determination was. Meng Tinghui took the lead and said that they must either contribute to the world or die in a foreign country. Every female student present personally wrote a letter in blood.

Meng Tinghui was also actively thinking of a way.

Late at night, when he heard a message from the palace saying that Zuo Xiangguo wanted to see Meng Tinghui, Yan Fuzhi felt that Zuo Xiangguo had ulterior motives and it was better to avoid it. However, Meng Tinghui knew very well that since Zuo Xiangguo called late at night, he must have been fully prepared. If he didn't obey, he might be blamed.

Meng Tinghui entered the palace, and it turned out that the messenger was actually sent by the emperor.

《Yu Ting Yao》Episode 9 plot introduction

On a rainy night, Meng Tinghui was sure that the widow would come. She held a pot of wine in her hand and waited for a long time on the only road she must pass, like a familiar hunter.When he saw the figure of the widow, Meng Tinghui immediately drank a bottle of wine, then pretended to be slightly drunk and began to improvise poems, thinking that the widow had always cherished talents, and might be deeply impressed by her.

The young man helped the drunken Meng Tinghui back, and asked the guards to bring him an umbrella, so that the imperial doctor could diagnose and treat him. The doctor's diagnosis and treatment was just a slight cold, so the young man felt relieved. As the king of a country, the young man had been suppressed by Zuo Xiangguo since he was a child, and he had seen countless people. Seeing Meng Tinghui's expression, the young man guessed that Meng Tinghui was deliberately getting close to him, so he simply pretended not to understand and used the trick.

The results of the joint examination have come out, and next is the palace examination. Meng Tinghui began to prepare intensively for the examination. Late at night, she wrote a letter to Yan Fuzhi, saying in the letter that she wanted to avenge her sister and needed power to fulfill her wish, so that Yan Fuzhi could wait with peace of mind.

Zuo Xiangguo did not agree with women participating in the imperial examination. Without the emperor's consent, he openly announced to the world that he would permanently abolish women's civil service.When the British widow was discussing politics in the previous dynasty, she originally wanted to veto the opinions of Zuo Xiangguo, but Zuo Xiangguo first quoted the ancestral teachings and said that women should not go to court due to cholera. Then, seeing that the British widow was not able to make progress, he began to hint that he was still the tutor of the British widow and that it was treasonous to continue to oppose his mentor.

After getting Yingzi's permission, Meng Tinghui went to Zhili and asked Zhili to make an appointment with You Xiangguo.

When You Xiangguo heard Meng Tinghui's intention, he didn't agree with it at first, but Zhili was his valued disciple, and he hoped that Zhili, who studied hard every day, would have a good future, so he won the battle in the end.

Now that the Right Prime Minister has recommended these female students, all the students who want to participate in Encore have written a joint letter of recommendation and gathered together at the door of the Left Prime Minister, hoping that the Left Prime Minister can listen to public opinion.Zuo Xiangguo asked them what their determination was.
