Just when Concubine Xian thought she had concealed the matter perfectly, Han Ying, who had been upright for half his life, finally exploded.
On this day, Han Ying came to Prince Liang's Mansion as usual and waited for Chu Han to arrive.
Unexpectedly, Chu Han came and brought a beautiful concubine with him. They spoke dirty words and pulled each other in front of Han Ying.
Ever since Chu Han learned that he was infertile, he started to become more and more unscrupulous in his sexual activities. He had many concubines in his house and even kept a few young prostitutes for his amusement.
Outsiders all say that Prince Liang is a playboy, but in fact he is just possessed by the devil.
Han Yingsi put his hand on his forehead. He couldn't stand seeing this and suddenly became annoyed and wanted to leave.
"Since Your Highness is not free today, I will take my leave first."
Unexpectedly, Chu Han stopped him and said frivolously, "General Han, don't be in a hurry to leave. Father sent you to teach me martial arts. Now I am here, and I have brought you a female apprentice. General Han, please teach her as well."
"Ridiculous!" Han Ying was furious. "Your Majesty asked me to teach you martial arts, but how can Your Majesty bring a woman here? Your Majesty has let down His Majesty's love for his son. I cannot teach you, my disciple. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to explain to Your Majesty. From now on, I will never set foot in the Prince of Liang's mansion!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Han immediately stopped the man. How could he let him go? If Han Ying told the emperor about this, wouldn’t his previous pretense be exposed?
“General Han, please don’t be upset.” Chu Han smiled and apologized in a low voice: “I was not thoughtful about what happened today. Please don’t mind it. Hurry up and get off!”
Chu Han raised his hand and slapped the concubine beside him, knocking her to the ground, and angrily said, "You blind thing, get out of here!"
The concubine did not dare to resist and hurried away with her face covered.
Han Ying secretly shook his head in his heart. Chu Han was really a hopeless case and could not be taught at all.
"I'm going to take my leave." Han Ying insisted on leaving.
Chu Han was impatient: "I have already apologized, what else do you want? I warn you, if you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!"
While the two were in a stalemate, Concubine Xian's sedan chair arrived at the gate of Prince Liang's mansion. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw two men with unfriendly faces on the parade ground.
"Han'er, what are you doing?" asked Concubine Xian in confusion.
Chu Han snorted coldly: "Someone is ungrateful and wants to go to my father to complain about me!"
Concubine Xian understood immediately after hearing this, and turned to look at Han Ying: "General Han, why do you have to make things so extreme? It was His Majesty who ordered King Liang to practice martial arts with you. If you turn a blind eye, wouldn't it be better for everyone to be happy?"
Han Ying didn't want to reason with the woman, so he bowed, turned around and left without saying a word.
Seeing this, Concubine Xian shouted, "Stop! Han Ying, you have to think carefully. His Majesty loves King Liang. If things get out of hand, who knows, it might be you or King Liang who will be punished!"
Han Ying turned a deaf ear to Concubine Xian's threats and walked straight out of Prince Liang's mansion.
The next day, Han Ying was reprimanded by the emperor, who accused him of being a bad teacher and forced him to kneel in front of Prince Liang's mansion for five hours.
It turned out that it was Concubine Xian who was the first to complain. She brought Chu Han to the emperor to complain, wrongly accusing Han Ying of disliking Chu Han, beating or scolding Chu Han every day, and not taking Chu Han's identity as a prince into consideration at all.
The emperor became angry upon hearing this and punished Han Ying.
When the news reached Prince Ye's Mansion, Chu Xuan felt unfair for Han Ying. He knew Han Ying's character very well and he was definitely not the arrogant person that Concubine Xian described him as.
It would be more appropriate if the blame was put on Chu Han.
Chu Xuan went into the palace in person to stand by Han Ying's side, but it happened that Chu Han and Concubine Xian had not left yet.
When the three met, they were extremely jealous of each other. Chu Han looked at Chu Xuan fiercely with poison in his eyes.
"Isn't this my good brother? Why don't you come and pay your respects to your father?"
Chu Xuan pretended not to hear anything, and did not even look at Chu Han. He walked straight to the emperor and said, "Father, I heard that you punished General Han Ying to kneel outside the Liang Palace. General Han Ying has fought for the country and has been upright all his life. You should not have made things difficult for General Han."
Before the emperor could say anything, Chu Han snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "He is just a splendid exterior with rotten cotton inside. How can he have any real ability? He only knows how to beat and scold me and despise the prince. Shouldn't he be punished?"
Chu Xuan turned his head and looked at Chu Han, saying calmly, "Really? But why did I hear that General Han went to the Prince of Liang's mansion to teach every day, but every time he waited for a long time for the Prince of Liang to come, he could only sit there for a long time and finally left? General Han is an excellent martial artist and well-versed in military tactics. He is more than capable of teaching a vulgar person like you. Why did he have to do it? It was you who was so stubborn that General Han left in anger."
"Nonsense!" Chu Han retorted, "You speak as if you saw it with your own eyes. Chu Xuan, don't go too far. Father, don't slander me here!"
Chu Xuan remained calm and said, "Since you think General Han is just a showdown and not worthy of teaching you, why don't you compete with General Han and let everyone see who is the showdown. I just don't know if His Royal Highness Prince Liang dares to accept this competition."
"Okay!" Chu Han was so angry that he agreed without thinking.
"Han'er!" Concubine Xian grabbed Chu Han with a warning in her eyes. Chu Xuan was obviously trying to provoke her and embarrass her on the spot. She absolutely could not accept this competition.
But Chu Han was obviously irritated by Chu Xuan and didn't want to care about anything else: "Mother, you don't have to worry about this matter. Today I will show everyone that I, Chu Han, am not a useless piece of mud! Come on!"
At this point, the emperor could not say anything in public, so he could only send someone to summon Han Ying into the palace.
In the square in front of the Taiji Hall, Han Ying, with a head full of white hair and a silver spear in his hand, looked energetic and his eyes were sharp.
Chu Han held a long sword and raised his hand to stab Han Ying. He was not stupid. Han Ying was old and had limited energy, so he wanted to win quickly.
But what he didn't understand was that a military general, who trained hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, was still as vigorous as a tiger and a tiger despite his old age. Before he could make three moves, the long sword in Chu Han's hand was knocked away by Han Ying's spear.
Han Ying swept the spear horizontally, and Chu Han had no time to dodge. Amid Concubine Xian's terrified gasps, the silver spear stopped an inch away from Chu Han's neck.
Chu Han was defeated.
The emperor's face suddenly turned bad, and he angrily said: "I asked you to learn martial arts, but what on earth have you learned during this period of time!"
Han Ying bowed and said firmly, "Old Chen is trusted by your majesty and has been entrusted with the important task of teaching the King of Liang, but the King of Liang has no interest in learning. I have been to your house many times, and the King of Liang is either entertaining friends or having fun with his concubines. Although I have some knowledge of martial arts, I cannot move a stubborn stone. I can only resign here. Please find someone else."
