Once a slave, once a concubine.
Meng Tingke was plundered as an official slave during the war, and met Tang Jin on the way to Jiankang, so he was forced to become an undercover harem worker.
The Zhou Dynasty is in crisis and precarious. The kings are fighting within the court, the prince is stupid, the states are divided and the peasant wars are repeated. All forces are on the stage. Meng Tingke uses both kindness and power in the harem, cleverly establishes a name, and deals with the nobles. Who will win?
Du Ruo, who had been rescued by Tang Jin, suggested using Meng Tingke to install power in the harem. With the help of Tang Jin, Meng Tingke was assigned to serve in Song Shuyuan's palace. She was always smart and cute, and was deeply loved by Shuyuan.
Emperor Wu of Zhou was fond of drinking. He often called the ladies of the palace to have a drink with him. Shuyuan was so drunk that she couldn't stop vomiting after returning to the palace. Meng Tingke, encouraged by Du Ruo, volunteered to accompany Emperor Wu of Zhou to drink. He drank a thousand cups and became famous in front of Emperor Wu of Zhou. Later, he became a favorite concubine.
During this period, she relied on Tang Jin's power to stabilize her position and successfully avenged her parents. However, she gradually became indifferent and numb in the power vat, instigating private affairs in the harem and setting up cunning names.
"If you fail for a moment," the country will be left without a king.
After a banquet, Meng Tingke drove away the eunuchs around him, strangled Emperor Wu of Zhou to death, and supported the stupid Emperor Yuan of Zhou to ascend the throne.
The central government of the Zhou Kingdom declined, and the imperial power fell to the side. Minister Pushe Yu Shidao took over the power of the country. In order to compete with him, Emperor Wu of Zhou personally supported his younger brother Liu Chong. When his power increased, he was inevitably suspected by him. Both of them were addicted to wine and sex.
After Yu Shidao's death, power fell into the hands of Liu Chong's son Liu Xun for a time. Liu Xun put down the rebellion at the age of sixteen. He was high-spirited and dishonest towards Meng Gui. After Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, Liu Xun sent out slaves as guests to defend the capital, causing chaos in the Zhou Dynasty. Later Liu Xun learned that Meng Tingke and Tang Jin had conspired to usurp the Zhou Dynasty. The two had conflicting positions and were enemies of each other...
