Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 393 Emperor Qing: Are you here to ruin things for me on the first day?

The officials in the rear were pointing at the two men and discussing this matter.

Qin Ye, the top military figure and the chief envoy of the Privy Council, was forced into this state by a court official. It was undoubtedly humiliating. Qin Ye also felt humiliated, but thinking about Emperor Qing's arranged marriage for Fan Xian, his tolerance of Chu Pingsheng, the massacre at the gate of the Supervisory Council two days ago, and what happened to Lin Xiang and Ye Chong yesterday, he didn't want to be involved in this undercurrent that would cost countless lives.

It would be better to give the position to Chu Pingsheng and let him fight with Fan Xian, Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing. The more arrogant and dazzling this kid is, the safer the Qin family will be.

Endure humiliation and live in seclusion.

These four words are his choice.

"Chu...Lord Chu?"

As soon as Chu Pingren sat down on Qin Ye's special chair, Xin Qiwu walked into the hall.

"Lord Xin, come and sit here." Chu Pingsheng pointed to the chair on the left - the chair of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu.

Sit here?
sit?
Xin Qiwu looked at Qin Ye, who seemed to have facial paralysis, and then listened to the discussions of his colleagues. His feet went weak and he tripped and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted in time and steadied himself with his hands. Then he straightened his official hat and half walked and half crawled over: "My Lord, why are you sitting here? This is General Qin's seat."

Chu Pingsheng said: "He gave it to me. If you don't believe me, ask him."

Xin Qiwu looked back.

Qin Ye snorted coldly and turned his head to the side.

Is this "let" the kind that means being pointed at by a sword?

At the same time, Lai Mingcheng, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, stepped over the threshold with the help of two civil servants. Chen Pingping and Fan Jian also entered through the side door. There was only a time difference of two or three breaths. The crown prince in a yellow robe and the second prince in a red brocade robe walked in with Lin Ruofu on the left and right, talking and laughing.

A group of people were stunned when they saw Chu Pingsheng sitting on Qin Ye's special chair and trying hard to recommend Lin Ruofu's special chair to Xin Qiwu, which scared Xin Qiwu so much that cold sweat broke out on his face.

What is this kid doing?
The three most popular people in the court, Chen Pingping, President of the Supervisory Yuan, Lin Ruofu, Prime Minister, and Qin Ye, Privy Councilor, he offended them all in one breath?

"Hey, uncle, there's an empty seat here, come and sit down."

Chu Pingsheng gave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a kind smile.

Li Chengqian wanted to smile back at him, but he couldn't squeeze it out after a long time. He said awkwardly: "That is the seat of Prime Minister Lin. Father considers that he and General Qin are old, so he allows them to sit in the court meeting."

Chu Pingsheng said: "Oh, Your Majesty is quite kind-hearted."

And that was it, his butt resting firmly on the chair, showing no signs of moving.

Lin Ruofu looked at his seat, flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, walked to stand beside Qin Ye, with his sad face, looking like a bullied young wife.

Chu Pingsheng then turned his attention to Chen Pingping, staring at the black wheelchair with sharp eyes.

Xin Qiwu thought to himself, could he be thinking about how to arrange a threesome with Chen Pingping, Lin Ruofu and Qin Ye?

Just at this moment, a sound of chimes was heard coming from outside.

"His Majesty is coming, I have to go over there." Xin Qiwu pointed to his position.

"do not."

Chu Pingsheng grabbed his hand and whispered, "If you leave, they will accuse me later. How would I know who is what and which government office they are from? What if they make a mistake when they exterminate the whole family?"

Xin Qiwu fell to the ground with a thud. It was not even noon yet, but his court clothes were soaked.

"His Majesty is here!"

Accompanied by Hou Zhigang's singing.

A dignified and solemn man stood outside the hall. He stepped over the threshold and walked towards the dragon throne on the high platform, greeted by court officials. It was none other than Li Yunqian, the Emperor of Qing.

Different from his previous appearance in the imperial study of Xingqing Palace and the rear hall of Taiji Hall, today he wears a jade belt around his waist, a majestic crown, a sweeping beard, and an aloof demeanor, very much like an emperor.

Chu Pingsheng stood up yawning, without bowing or kneeling, holding the almost paralyzed Xin Qiwu in one hand and wiping his face with the other hand, looking like he got up too early and didn't get enough sleep.

Seeing that he had taken Qin Ye's seat, and the victim was standing with Lin Ruofu under a pillar not far away with a look of grievance on his face, Li Yunqian could not help but frown and look displeased. It seemed that he had not expected that Chu Pingsheng would be so bold and presumptuous that he took down three first-rank officials the first time he attended a court meeting.

I asked the princess to tell him to be more restrained recently. Lin Ruofu and his gang wanted to make a fuss about his relationship with Si Lili, but it was not only useless, but it made them even more aggressive?
"Okay, tell me what's bothering you lately."

Li Yunqian walked to the dragon throne and sat down. The young eunuch next to him lowered the bamboo curtain in front. Looking up from the bottom, one could only vaguely see the emperor's figure. The joy, anger, sorrow and happiness on his face could not be seen by the naked eye.

Chu Pingsheng sat back in a big voice, tilted his head and raised his eyebrows at Xin Qiwu who was sweating profusely, and pouted, as if he was teasing a dog.

"Master Xin, don't be nervous, there will be something interesting to watch soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man from the civil service line stepped out. It was Lai Mingcheng, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Metropolitan Censorate, who had just been kicked down by him and had not gotten up for a long time. He bowed and raised his head, looking at the dragon throne, and said, "Your servant... has a petition to make."

Li Yunqian waved his hand, motioning him to speak.

"I want to join the Imperial Court and examine the Junior Official of the Honglu Temple, Chu Pingsheng."

"Him? What happened to him?"

Li Yunqian said indifferently, as if he was completely unaware that the skinny old man almost sprained his waist after being kicked by Chu Pingsheng.

"Chu was a barbarian from the West. He came to Qing to study. Your Majesty showed him great favor. He allowed him to sit in on the Imperial Academy and was given the right to serve as a councilor in the Honglu Temple. He also gave him the pearl of Qing, Princess Chen, Lin Wan'er, in marriage."

At this point, Lai Mingcheng paused, tilted his head to look at the guy who was looking at him like a monkey, and added a bit of resentment in his voice: "It has been rumored recently that he betrayed your majesty's trust and had an affair with the top singer of Yuanzuixianju who was temporarily entrusted to his care. He is lustful and shameless. He has failed your majesty's expectations and put Princess Chen in an embarrassing situation. Such behavior can be regarded as a provocation and disrespect to our Qing Kingdom. I implore your majesty to revoke the order, annul Chu Pingsheng's engagement with Princess Chen, remove him from office, and expel him from the country."

Lai Mingcheng spoke with great righteousness and integrity.

The officials on both sides could not help but whisper to each other, and a few people echoed in a low voice.

Li Yunqian sighed, leaned against the armrest of the dragon chair and said, "Mr. Chu, is this true?"

"Yes, of course." To everyone's surprise, he did not deny it and agreed immediately.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone waited for a long time but there was no response from him to excuse himself.

Is this over?

Li Yunqian's fingers on the armrest of the dragon throne kept tapping the dragon head. No one knew what he wanted to do.

Xin Qiwu was so anxious that he gave her a look, meaning "But what? What about the but?"

"Anything else? He's not the only one who wants to report me, is he?" Chu Pingsheng said with a smile, "How can this be enough? Hurry up, those who are hesitant, don't wait. This is a great opportunity. If you miss it, you won't be able to get it again."

His provocation gave motivation to those who disliked him, and the official with a bulbous nose behind Lai Mingcheng took half a step sideways.

"Your Majesty, I also want to participate in Chu Pingsheng's life."

"Why are you complaining about him?"

The man said in a deep voice, "I report him for committing a crime in the street. Yuan Hongdao was a guest of Prime Minister Lin's residence. When he was causing trouble in the Supervisory Office that day, he just looked at the crowd for a few more times, and he cut off his right hand with a sword, and his right leg was broken by the white ape he raised. This kind of evil behavior ignores the law and takes human life lightly. I hope Your Majesty will investigate and punish him severely to enforce the law."

After saying this, he and Lai Mingcheng in the front row bowed and saluted, waiting for the holy judgment.

Chu Pingsheng leaned close to Xin Qiwu's ear, pointed at the garlic nose and asked, "Who is this person?"

"This is Cui Peng, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate."

"How many grades?"

"Fourth rank."

"Taller than you and me..."

Xin Qiwu smiled awkwardly. All those who came to attend the court meeting were officials of the fifth rank and above. If you pick any one of them at random, there is a more than 70% chance that he is taller than the two of them.

Li Yunqian hummed softly: "Anything else?"

"Your Majesty...also wants to see the Imperial Court Doctor Chu Pingsheng." At this time a man walked out from the military officer's queue. He had a long beard and electric eyes, and looked very energetic.

"Why are you complaining about him?"

"Your Majesty, the Overwatch Council can be called the cornerstone of Qing, and the Black Cavalry is the cornerstone of the Overwatch Council. That day, Chu Pingsheng allowed the white ape to commit murder and slaughter our Qing soldiers. The head of the Sixth Department of the Overwatch Council, Yingzi, died in battle. This matter has been widely spread among the people of Kyoto. Now our Qing army has set out to attack Qi in the north. If we don't capture this criminal and execute him, it will be difficult to convince the people. I hope your Majesty will make a wise judgment and don't let the soldiers on the front line feel disheartened."

Chu Pingsheng pointed at Xin Qiwu again and asked, "Who is this person?"

"This is the Senior Light Vehicle Commander, Lin Youdao."

"Why doesn't he go to the front to fight?"

"The Lin family is a foreign relative. The late emperor had a concubine who was from the Lin family."

"Oh, judging from what he said, does he want His Majesty to kill me?"

"Heh...heh...how come?"

"Of course not." Chu Pingsheng sneered, "Xin Shaoqing, you will be busy these days."

"how?"

"Condolences."

"Master Chu, you are joking."

Chu Pingsheng looked at him with a smile: "Do you think I'm a joker?"

After saying this, he took out a small notebook from his sleeve and pointed to the attendant who was in charge of recording the emperor's words and deeds and the contents of the court meetings behind the screen next to him: "Go, get me a pen."

"This……"

"go!"

Xin Qiwu glanced at the man on the dragon throne, turned around, knelt down and crawled to the wooden desk behind the screen on the left, said a few words to the attendant who was writing furiously, and returned to Chu Pingsheng with a brush.

"Master Chu, I have brought it."

"Well, not bad."

He reached out to take it and began writing and drawing in the small notebook.

"Master Chu, what are you doing..."

"Write down the people you want to kill in a notebook so you don't forget later."

"..."

The two of them whispered to each other and made small movements constantly, which further aroused the dissatisfaction of the court officials. They felt that his behavior was a contempt for the court and a mockery of the officials.

Another person stepped out and said, "Your Highness, the Minister of Works, Wu Qingyou, also wants to report him."

Emperor Qing said, "You want to report him too? There are many people who want to report Chu Shaoqing today. Go ahead!"
