Yan Hu walked out from the back door of Dali Temple and saw Fu Zhixing wearing official uniform standing by the carriage, waiting for her, smiling and walking over, "Wujiu."

Fu Zhixing helped her into the carriage, "Have you thought about what to do?"

"I have thought about it. I will go to the palace to see the queen first tomorrow. Although I know that the queen has a greater influence on the emperor, if you go over the queen and look for the queen directly, the queen will feel uncomfortable." Yan Huo did not plan to be a lone hero. Besides, if you have the strength, you can borrow it, why not? She is not stupid.

"What else do I need to do?" Fu Zhixing asked.

"When the matter gets messy, you are responsible for arranging a few talents to cooperate in the acting." Yan Huo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"No problem." Fu Zhixing didn't know Yan Hu's overall plan, but he could vaguely guess what she was going to do.

The next day, Yan Hu handed over the sign and went into the palace to see Empress Li. Empress Li was very happy and asked with a smile: "Why would you bear to come to the palace to see me today?"

Yan Huo bowed and said, "To the Empress..."

"What are you doing with so many rituals?" Before Empress Li could finish her rituals, she got up and dragged her to the couch and sat down. "If you don't have anything to do, why are you going to the palace when you enter the palace?"

"I can't just miss you anymore, just come to the palace to see you?" Yan Huo asked with a smile.

"Stop coming, you are very lazy. You won't go out if you have nothing to do." Queen Li curled her lips. Who doesn't know who a friend of all these years?

Yan Huo chuckled and said, "I came to the palace today to make the second-class pass on the Lu Shiqing."

"Do you know her?" Queen Li asked.

"I went to see her yesterday." Yan Huo sighed, "She was born at the wrong time." If she had been born for hundreds of years late, with Shi Qing's talent, she would have made a lot of things.

"Yes, it's such a pity. Why did she want a woman to dress up as a man to participate in the imperial examination?" Queen Li sighed.

Yan Hu told Queen Li about Shi Qing's past, "I can't bear to watch her be forced to death by those sour scholars who are jumping up and down, and I want to ask you for help."

"How do you help?" Queen Li was originally a soft-hearted person, and she had a good relationship with Yan Huo. Besides, she also sympathized with Shi Qing, so she agreed without hesitation.

"The court is full of men, and there is no woman's voice. We have to let the emperor hear the woman's voice and exert the power of public opinion." Yan Huo said with a smile.

"What should I do?" Queen Li asked.

Yan Huo told the plan.

"This method is good. Let's go and tell the Queen about the matter. If the Queen of Mother comes forward, Your Majesty will not let us make such a mess." Empress Li was very self-aware.

"What is nonsense? We are doing serious things." Yan Huo curled his lips.

"Yes, yes, serious things, serious things." Empress Li smiled and took Yan Hu's arm, and the two of them went to Fushou Palace.

Empress Dowager Shen was also paying attention to Shi Qing. If it weren't for the Queen Mother Shen's words, Shi Qing would have been deprived of her fame and convicted and put her in the prison. It was Empress Dowager Shen who was protecting her.

Empress Li and Yan Huyi talked about this, and Empress Shen smiled, "Okay, you can do whatever you want. If you make any mistakes, I will take care of you."

"Thank you, my mother."

"Thank you aunt."

With the support of Empress Dowager Shen and Fu Zhixing's arrangements, there were many more topics in various teahouses and restaurants, including whether women can study and whether women can participate in the imperial examination.

This says: "A woman has no talent and virtue." Women should not study.

Some people refute: "When you read and understand the truth, but don't understand the truth, how can you be virtuous?" Marrying a wife and virtuous is not a wife and virtuous marriage.

"The imperial examination was never a man who could participate."

Someone asked back: "Why can't women take the exam?" There has never been a clear rule that only men can take the exam!

“Only men have participated.”

"In the past, there was no imperial examination, only recommendation, but now there was; in the past, there was no woman who participated in the imperial examination, but now there was, this proves that the court is open-minded, and even women who are talented are willing to serve the court."

Under Yan Hu's deliberate guidance, public opinion gradually turned to Shi Qing. Everyone thought that Shi Qing was dressed as a man to participate in the imperial examination, which was not a big mistake.

On the morning court, Emperor Tianyou, who had always kept Shi Qing's matter, asked how to deal with Shi Qing. A civil servant from the diehard party came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think Shi Qing's move ruined the court's principles. Your Majesty opened a tribute to the official position. Shi Qing committed such a crime of deceiving the emperor and should be executed. Otherwise, more women would inevitably follow this woman in the future and cause chaos in the world."

"Is Lord Wu too alarmist? If a woman participates in the imperial examination, she can cause chaos in the world. What do we civil and military officials do? All the adults in the court are well-read, so are they better than women?" Fu Zhixing asked indifferently.

"Mr. Fu, there is no rule, and no square. If a woman participates in the imperial examination, it is a hen that will cause trouble to the world. Shi Qing must be beheaded and shown to the public to prove the law." Mr. Wu insisted on executing Shi Qing.

"Have Lord Wu read history books?" Fu Zhixing asked.

"I was the second most important person back then." Lord Wu glared at him, Fu Zhixing looked down upon him.

"Mr. Wu has read history books, but he still remembers that King Wen is eager to seek talent. He once said that good men and women in the world are not limited to men and women. As long as he is willing to help him, he treats him generously. Why can't he tolerate a talented woman when he comes to this dynasty? How should people from later generations judge the affairs of this dynasty? Even the common people in the market think that Shi Qing will not die, which is understandable. On the contrary, Lord Wu, who is well-read in history books, is stubborn..." Fu Zhixing sneered, "Who is the foolish person?"

"In my opinion, this is not ignorance, but jealousy of virtuous people. I am jealous of a woman who is more powerful than a man, so I want His Majesty to cut her down." King Su said sarcastically.

Those who proposed to execute Shi Qing did not dare to say anything. Fu Zhixing was not only a "genius of two dynasties", but he was deeply favored by two generations of emperors. His obvious support for Shi Qing has already made these people retreat. Now even King Su has spoken out to help him, which indirectly shows the meaning of the emperor. The emperor does not want to execute Shi Qing.

"Your Majesty, King Su and Lord Fu are very saying. Although Shi Qing is guilty of dressing up as a man, she also wants to serve the court. I ask Your Majesty to be gentle." Yan Tongzhu said with a look.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Officials came out to express their opinions one after another, and the final conclusion was that Shi Qing was punished for death. At the suggestion of Fu Zhixing, she was sent to a remote county town in northern Xinjiang to be the seventh-rank county magistrate. Staying away from the court and being a parent official, she would not have re-conflict with these stubborn people in the court, and she could show her talents and not be buried.

This ending is a joy to everyone.

After Shi Qing came out of the Tianzhuo, wearing a brand new seventh-grade official uniform, she went to Anguo Duke's Mansion to thank Yan Huo. An old monk outside the mansion looked at her in, smiled slightly, folded his hands together, and recited the Buddha, "I have determined my own numbers in the past and present lives, and the same path will be achieved."
