Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 405: The Most Lecherous Person in Kyoto
Chu Pingsheng's master Bai Feng almost wiped out Lin Youdao's entire family. On the same night, Zuo Censor-in-Chief Cui Peng died and Vice Minister of Works Wu Qingyou died.

Smart court officials could all see that Bai Feng was helping his apprentice to get revenge and establish his authority at the same time.

Think about it seriously, can we blame Grandmaster Xihu for getting angry?
Actually, it’s not surprising.

After all, it was the grandmaster from the Kingdom of Qing who took action first, and he was defeated after a fight, so naturally someone had to pay the price. The grandmaster Bai Feng from the Western Hu did not charge into the palace and take the emperor's head, but only killed a few people who offended his apprentice, which was considered mercy.

After this incident, Chu Pingsheng was not punished but was promoted instead - he was promoted to the third-rank Jinzi Guanglu Doctor, Inspector of the Ministry of Rites, and the crown prince even worshipped him as his teacher. It is believed that the title of the first-rank official, the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, will appear in front of his name in the near future.

His Majesty the Emperor's reward to Chu Pingsheng clearly expressed an attitude - he had surrendered and admitted defeat.

From then on, no one in the court dared to disrespect Chu Pingsheng, and everyone behaved like his grandsons in front of him. Xin Qiwu was indeed very busy, visiting one family and another to pay condolences, giving people a feeling of false sympathy.

After a long time, perhaps because he felt that there was no one to oppose him and it was boring, he might as well stay in the Protocol Courtyard and play night games with Si Lili, listening to the top singer of Zuixianju singing. Chu Pingsheng... he... would not attend the morning court.

Not only did he not attend court meetings, he didn't listen to classes at the Imperial College, and he didn't ask about the external affairs of the Honglu Temple. He was idle every day, either going to brothels to drink, listen to music, get drunk and make trouble, or go to casinos to play chess and beat people when he lost money. In short, he made the leisure and entertainment circles in Kyoto City a mess. The madams shook their heads when they saw him, the actors sighed when they saw him, and the dealers ran away when they saw him...

One day, he took Si Lili to revisit the old place and went to Zuixianju for a feast. Because they did not make an appointment in advance, they had a dispute when choosing people, and he actually beat up Prince Jing's son Li Hongcheng in public.

His actions fully illustrate the saying that a journey tells a horse's strength and a person's character is known only after a long time. Is he an envoy to a foreign country? Is he a study tour? Bullshit! This guy is just a mountain king who came to a prosperous place and was so happy that he didn't want to go back.

The problem is that no one can touch him. Li Hongcheng was beaten into a pig's head, and Prince Jing didn't even dare to fart, let alone the low-class people like casino dealers and brothel madams.

Everyone was speechless, helpless, and complaining. The prince actually worshipped such a guy as his teacher... to learn literature? What could he teach the prince? How to take advantage of girls, how to steal someone else's time, or how to gamble, walk birds, and fight crickets?
On the other hand, regarding the battle between the grandmasters that night, many people suspected that the masked man who attacked the Protocol Court was Ye Liuyun. Although Ye Chong made it clear that the man did not use the Ye family's Liuyun San Shou, not many people believed it. Hong Sixiang, that scumbag, was killed by the Northern Qi grandmaster Ku He. Apart from Ye Liuyun, the recognized grandmaster, does Nanqing have any other great masters who can be considered outstanding?
I really didn't expect that Ye Liuyun, the grandmaster, was also a fake. He ran away during the fight. It's shameful, despicable and embarrassing!
The Ye family in Kyoto has been subject to much criticism, and the court officials are all very weird. Ye Ling'er is so furious about this that she even runs to the Protocol Courtyard, wanting Chu Pingsheng to help her testify that the mysterious man who fought with her master Bai Feng that night was not her great-uncle Ye Liuyun. However, she failed to find the real person even after going twice. Later, she learned that Chu Pingsheng had been hanging around Shengge Cottage recently and liked to stay overnight in a flower boat, so she went all the way to find him. The answer she got was that she would help to dispel the rumors if she slept with him for one night. As a result... The result was naturally that Miss Ye swung her sword to overturn the wine table, pushed down the candlesticks, and set fire to the flower boat. In the end, it was reported to the prefect of Kyoto, causing quite a mess. It was only when Lin Wan'er came forward to ask for help that Chu Pingsheng finally gave in and let Ye Chong take his daughter back and discipline her well.

Miss Ye was forced into a corner and had to bow and apologize, suppressing her displeasure. She was also confined to her room for a month and was not allowed to go out.

After this incident happened, the voices in Kyoto City that despised Chu Pingsheng became even louder.

He was a person who came to Kyoto to study. It was fine if he didn't go to the Imperial College to read the books of sages, didn't attend court meetings, and even took a concubine before getting married. But he ended up becoming the prince's teacher, the prince's grand tutor, the Jinzi Guanglu doctor, the inspector of the Ministry of Rites, and the future Khan who would unify the grassland and make peace with Southern Qing. But he... He actually fell to this point. It was really wrong and disappointing.

……

boned...

Jingle Bell……

boned...

Jingle Bell……

The carriage covered with red curtains was driving on Zhongzheng Street leading to the imperial city, which is also the most prosperous street in Kyoto. The black horse in front of the carriage kept swinging its thick and long tail, and the silver bell hanging on its neck trembled, making a very crisp and pleasant sound.

The vendors and travelers on both sides of the street turned a blind eye. Some were buying vegetables, some were waiting for buns, and some were soliciting business. Everyone was doing their own thing, walking their own way, and not disturbing each other.

"What virtue and ability does Chu Pingsheng have that the prince actually accepts him as his teacher?"

On the top floor of Gaosheng Tower, a swordsman in black and a young man from an aristocratic family dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding a folding fan were chatting by the window.

The swordsman said, "Prince's Grand Master, why not the Prince's Grand Tutor? I think the only thing that Chu can teach the prince is martial arts. His master is not bad, um, a grandmaster, who can create a dragon shadow with his palm and destroy a palace with one blow. Even if I practice for another hundred years, I'm afraid I won't be as good as eleven."

The noble family son said, "Wasn't the Wufeng Hall of the Lin Mansion destroyed by the Northern Qi Grandmaster?"

The swordsman picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, then sneered. He was a retainer in General Guide's mansion. General Guide's mansion was not far from the Lin Mansion, and he had gone there to rescue people that night. How could he not know the truth of the matter?
"I don't know what His Majesty is thinking. Even if he must be given a higher position for his master's sake, it would be fine to be the Prince's Grand Tutor or the Prince's Grand Preceptor... Alas." The noble family man shook his head, his face full of sorrow and pity: "If you ask me, the only one who can bear the title of the Prince's Grand Preceptor is Fan Xian. Thinking back to the quatrain he wrote in the Prince Jing's mansion, 'The boundless fallen leaves rustle, the endless Yangtze River rolls on', every time I think of it, there is always a sense of grandeur filling my heart. And the Dream of the Red Chamber he wrote, it's simply... it makes people unable to stop reading."

As they were talking, a beautiful woman in a pink long skirt and lotus-embroidered shoes ran along the street, holding a scroll in her hand. Several other beautiful women of similar age ran after her, holding the hem of their skirts with both hands. They chatted and attracted countless surprised glances and admiration from passers-by. "Danbo Bookstore has a new volume, and the Red Mansion has a new volume. Everyone, hurry up and buy it. The first two hundred copies are signed by Mr. Fan. If you are late, they will be sold out."

The girl was also kind-hearted. She waved the scroll in her hand and called on passers-by on the street, telling the drinkers upstairs to go to Danbo Bookstore to buy the newly published Dream of the Red Chamber.

Some people who knew what Dream of the Red Chamber was ran towards Danbo Bookstore. Even those who had never read the book followed suit. After all, it had the autograph of the great scholar Fan. If they didn't read it after getting it, they could still sell it at a higher price to those who liked Dream of the Red Chamber, right?
Of the two people drinking together at Gaosheng Tower facing the street, the young man from an aristocratic family in brocade clothes had no mood to complain about Chu Pingsheng, a barbarian from a cultural desert who was not even worthy of carrying shoes for the great scholar Fan. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother Dong, enjoy your meal. I have to go to Danbo Bookstore to buy books." Then he rushed down the stairs at a rapid speed and joined the crowd on the street to grab autographed books at Fuzheng Street.

The carriage continued to move forward. In the carriage behind the red curtain, Si Lili, who was dressed in red, looked at the Prince's Grand Tutor, the Jinzi Guanglu Doctor, and the Inspector of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Chu, who was yawning all the way because of his indulgence in sensual pleasures. She really wanted to go over and pinch him hard.

"Did you hear all the conversations outside?"

"The rumor about Ye Liuyun being inferior to me was spread by someone instructed by Emperor Qing. Ye Liuyun is also guilty. With such a big news in Kyoto City, he didn't make any move at all. Is he able to keep his composure? Or does he simply not take the emperor seriously? Why did Ye Zhong confine Little Lajiao? Isn't it because he is afraid that she will cause trouble and become an excuse for the emperor to use the Ye family as an excuse to force Ye Liuyun to show up. Ha..."

After saying this, he leaned against the wall of the carriage, and went back to Zhou Gong with a joking smile. He was so sleepy that he didn't know whether it was the girls on the flower boat who danced well, played the piano beautifully, or played the flute skillfully last night.

Si Lili was stunned. The two of them were not on the same wavelength at all. Chu Pingsheng was thinking about Ye Liuyun, but she...

"The palace is just ahead, don't sleep."

She was so angry that she kicked Chu Pingsheng.

"What's wrong with the palace? You won't let me sleep. Believe it or not, I'll ask the eunuch guarding the gate to find a stretcher to carry me in."

Don’t mention it, this thing... with Lord Chu’s temperament, he can really do it.

"You...you...how could you..."

Si Lili was so angry that the white jade finger that was suspended in the air was trembling.

"What? I heard from the girl at Zuixianju that... you also like to read the Dream of the Red Chamber written by the great scholar Fan Xian? Danbo Bookstore is just across the street. If you want to buy it, go quickly. It will be sold out if you are late."

"I know you and Fan Xian are sworn enemies, but can't you learn from him? Is it so difficult to admit that others are more talented than you?"

She wanted to say that since you are all grand masters, can't you behave more steady and reliable? Why are you like barbarians who have never seen the world, listening to music in brothels every day and having fun on boats every night? It's really degrading.

Yes, like the Queen, she knew Chu Pingsheng’s other identity—Bai Feng, the Grand Master of Western Hu.

That day, Li Yunrui sent Wanqiu to the Protocol Court to test whether Chu Pingsheng, who gave the White Ape Zhanlu Sword, was actually her in disguise.
Now the ladies in the harem were driving to the palace to meet Lin Wan'er's fiancé. In fact, she knew very well that "meeting" was fake and "persuading" was real. He had slept with her before and couldn't wait to let everyone know. That was fine, after all, it was normal for a disciple of the grand master and the future overlord of the grassland to take a concubine first. That's what Emperor Qing did back then. But he has been going too far recently. With the title of Crown Prince and Grand Tutor, he has been fooling around in all kinds of brothels. He can ignore his reputation, but the royal family can't.

"No."

Chu Pingsheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'm not as shameless as him."

"You said you don't have him... so shameless?"

Si Lili was stunned. Why did Fan Xian go to Zuixianju at that time? It was said that it was because he didn't know that Lin Wan'er was the chicken leg girl he liked, so he deliberately created the image of a dandy boy to make the emperor change his mind. What about him? Can he do the same?

If Hou Zhigang had not delivered the imperial edict to the Protocol Court, she would have gone to the flower boats along the Liujing River to look for him one by one, and Lord Chu would still be lying in the arms of a beautiful woman, holding a stick and meeting Zhou Gong.

Who is shameless? How dare he say that he is not as shameless as Fan Xian?
