Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 414 Your sister is going to be my concubine

Chu Pingsheng said, "Mr. Zhuang likes it?"

"I like it, I like it, I like it very much." He said while reading a book without raising his head.

"Since you like them, I'll give you these two books."

"Give it to me?"

It was not until then that the old man forced himself to break free from those poems and look at Chu Pingsheng.

"Of course, good wine is given to old friends, and precious swords are given to heroes. Is there anyone here who is worthy of them except Mr. Zhuang?"

These words were said while looking at Fan Xian.

"in addition……"

Chu Pingsheng chuckled, took out a few more books from his other sleeve and threw them in front of the screen: "This is the remaining content of the Dream of the Red Chamber. You can find someone to copy it. In fact... the original title of the book is Dream of the Red Chamber."

What's left of the Red Mansion?
Princess Roujia and others looked at the books on the ground with a sense of loss.

He also said that the original title of the book was Dream of the Red Chamber?

Dream of the Red Chamber, Red Chamber...

In this case, the Dream of the Red Chamber written by Fan Xian was also plagiarized from other works?
This……

The anticipation when chasing the book, the admiration when reading the book, the anticipation for updates after finishing the book, all the emotions towards Fan Xian's talent, were all in vain in the end?

"Your master... even has this...?"

Fan Xian always thought he was very strong. He could recite the Dream of the Red Chamber, which had hundreds of thousands of words, and recite hundreds of Tang and Song poems at will, and he remembered them clearly. Among the time travelers, he was one of those who had powerful cheats. Could it be that the Western Hu Grandmaster Bai Feng was also like him?

Yes and not.

Chu Pingsheng is fundamentally different from him. Fan Xian is just a data copy experiment, but Chu Pingsheng traveled through time in the flesh. The first level of [Mahayana Paradise Demon Body] has the characteristic of learning things very quickly. Now it has been upgraded to the third level. It not only adds the effects of opening the middle dantian and changing the target orientation of the Seven Absolute Shadowless Evil, but also his memory has leapt into the level of photographic memory. Otherwise, it would be impossible to learn guqin and calligraphy and painting at a very fast speed in the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. After entering the world of Joy of Life, he upgraded to the first level of [Mahayana Paradise Demon Body]. Not only does he have a photographic memory, but even the scenes he had experienced before are like frames of animation stored in his mind, not to mention the Tang and Song poems that his parents and teachers required him to recite when he was a child, the picture books he read in kindergarten, the extracurricular books he read in elementary school, Andersen's fairy tales, Arabian Nights, Greek mythology... It is not difficult to rewrite them all. Classical works like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Red Mansions, Journey to the West, and Water Margin are naturally no problem.

"Master said that copying books to make a living is acceptable when one is desperate, and educating the people is good as long as one works hard. But if someone uses other people's things to gain fame and fortune, he should be spit on. But I feel that spitting on people like you is dirtying my saliva."

After saying this, he ignored Fan Xian and turned to climb the stairs.

Seeing him approaching, Zhuang Mohan caressed the book in his hand, stroked his beard and asked, "Master Chu, there is something I don't understand. I hope you can explain it to me. What do the 'Tang' and 'Song' in the Tang poems and Song lyrics mean?"

Chu Pingsheng smiled and said, "It is the name of our country, just like Qi and Qing."

"The name of the country? Although I am not a historian, I have read a lot of historical materials, but I have never heard of the Tang and Song dynasties."

“They’re on the other side of the world, you don’t know normal.”

"The other side of the world?"

Zhuang Mohan pondered for a moment and sighed, "As expected, there are countless powerful people in the world. I, Zhuang Mohan, am just a frog in a well, only seeing a small corner of the sky."

“Humility is a virtue.”

Chu Pingsheng responded casually, turned to look at Li Yunqian, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Emperor of Qing, what else do you have to say now? On this occasion of the great ceremony of the Four Relations and the Night Banquet for the envoys, Fan Xian used the Heavenly Wolf to allude to Northern Qi and the Hulu to refer to the Western Hu, making innuendos and mocking foreign nations. How should you deal with this?"

Li Yunqian sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy look and a serious expression.

At this moment, he was not only angry, but also helpless.

He was naturally angry because Chu Pingsheng did not give him face, but he was helpless because everyone in Kyoto City knew that Chu Pingsheng got the title of Crown Prince's Grand Tutor by cheating himself, and was actually a lustful, pleasure-seeking, and unreasonable mountain king.

However, who could have thought that such a person could seize upon Fan Xian's mistake in reciting poetry while drunk and make a fuss out of the words.

In fact, he was the least surprised that Chu Pingsheng could produce "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and "Three Hundred Song Poems".

Bai Feng had told him before that Bai Feng had some connection with the temple. Since Ye Qingmei and her creations came from the temple, it was normal for her son's poems to also be related to the temple. Putting the two together, it was no wonder that Bai Feng could make Fan Xian shoot himself in the foot.

"This matter... Fan Xielu lost his composure after drinking and bumped into the envoys of the three countries. His behavior was indeed inappropriate, but considering his contribution to the peace talks and the fact that he was drunk, it is not appropriate to severely punish a meritorious official on such a happy day... Fan Xielu, why don't you quickly apologize to the envoys of the three countries?"

What else can he say now?
He was arrogant and conceited regardless of the occasion. Now, he was caught by someone else's pigtail. Not only did he, the emperor, have to speak well of the person who overturned his desk, but his illegitimate son Nan Qing's reputation would also be ruined. "..."

It was very quiet off the field. Everyone could see that the emperor was trying to excuse his son. Anyone else would have lost their heads ten times over for such behavior that was detrimental to the emperor's royal dignity.

At this time, Li Yunrui walked out from behind the food table: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Li Yunqian glanced at her, then looked at Chu Pingsheng who was standing aside and sneering: "Speak."

"According to the information I received, Yan Bingyun had contact with Fan Xian when he was escorted by Fei Jie all the way to Northern Qi. This time Yan Bingyun's identity as a spy was exposed. I suspect... it may be related to Fan Xian."

The court officials looked at each other in bewilderment. The eldest princess was trying to take advantage of his illness to kill him. The crime of treason was much more serious than the crime of offending the foreign envoy at a night banquet.

"Your Majesty." Fan Ruoruo, who was restrained by two guards, struggled and said, "I heard from Lord Chu a few days ago that Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi had met Zhuang Mohan, and then there was news that my Qing Kingdom spy was arrested by Northern Qi. Because Guo Baokun and my brother had a feud, it is hard to guarantee that the Guo family father and son did not reveal the spy's identity in exchange for Zhuang Mohan's attack on my brother."

Fan Xian was stunned when he heard this, and looked at this sister who had no blood relationship with him with surprise. He remembered that when Fan Ruoruo first warned him, she said that Chu Pingsheng would use Zhuang Mohan to mess with him. Why did the target suddenly change? Was it that Guo Youzhi, a court official of Qing, was more sensitive and could make more of a fuss about his secret meeting with Zhuang Mohan?
"Guo Youzhi, do you think... is this true?"

Emperor Qing was furious and looked at the Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi.

"His Majesty."

Guo Youzhi had never expected that he would be implicated in the matter, so he quickly crawled out from behind the food table and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty... your servant... your servant..."

"I asked you whether what she said was true."

"Your Majesty, I have never met Zhuang Mohan in private." Guo Youzhi glanced at Li Yunrui, then looked at Chu Pingsheng, who had no expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and denied it under pressure: "Your Majesty, I have never met Zhuang Mohan in private."

Emperor Qing tilted his head and looked at Chu Pingsheng and said, "Should I believe her? Or should I believe the Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi?"

"Fan Ruoruo, when did I say Guo Youzhi had met Zhuang Mohan?"

"Seven days ago, in the early morning, you said this on Niulan Street..."

Fan Xian frowned, thinking that something was wrong. Fan Ruoruo had told him that Chu Pingsheng had the key to the suitcase nine days ago.

"I said that seven days ago, in the early morning on Niulan Street? Why don't I remember it? Is there any witness?"

"Of course."

As it was about whether Fan Xian would be punished, Fan Ruoruo didn't care about much else and pointed behind the screen: "Ye Ling'er was there too."

Emperor Qing and his ministers raised their heads together and looked at the screen opposite them that was embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns.

Ye Linger walked out bravely, took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, this is true."

"Well, I still can't remember what we said at that time..." Chu Pingsheng tapped his temples lightly: "I drank a lot of wine that day. I only remember that Miss Qingshang was wearing thin clothes, her jade fingers were soft, and her singing voice was so sweet that it penetrated the bones. Are you sure we have met before?"

It's him, it's him, it's him.

The officials present felt that this was in line with Lord Chu's image! The man who was reciting poems with Fan Xian...an illusion, it must be an illusion!

Fan Ruoruo looked at him hatefully: "Don't think I don't know that you are pretending to be confused."

"Then tell me, why did you come to see me? What did we say? In front of the emperor, the princess, the courtiers, and the foreign envoys, repeat everything I said to you from beginning to end. This should help me remember what I said that night faster."

"The reason we went to find you that night was..."

When Fan Ruoruo said this, she met Chu Pingsheng's gaze and was stunned.

No, he didn't forget. He deliberately wanted to lead her and Ye Ling'er to confront each other in court, because Fan Xian didn't know about the gambling, the emperor didn't know about the gambling, and the same went for everyone else.

It was obvious that Fan Xian's reputation was over when things had developed to this point. Chu Pingsheng naturally won the bet that night, which meant that she and Ye Ling'er had to marry him as concubines. In order to prevent them from going back on their word and refusing to fulfill the agreement, they had to say it themselves in public and let the emperor be a witness.

This person... is so despicable!
Chu Pingsheng had a teasing smile on his face: "Why did you come to see me? Tell me."

"..."

Fan Ruoruo pursed her lips, looking embarrassed, but Ye Ling'er gritted her teeth and said, "We went to find you that night to make a bet."

"What bet?"
