The Great Idle Person of the Zhenguan Era.

Summary

Li Su found himself at a high-end brothel in Chang'an, surrounded by beautiful women and a group of young masters from prominent families. Initially, he felt out of place and uncomfortable, but after being forced to drink three cups of wine by Cheng Chumou, he began to relax and participate in the revelry. As he toasted with the other young masters, he thought about the future and how their lives would intersect with his own. The evening wore on, filled with laughter and music, and Li Su found himself swept up in the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Despite the merriment, a part of Li Su remained detached, observing the scene with a critical eye. He knew that this was a world he did not fully belong to, a world of wealth and privilege. When Li Su took the initiative to offer a toast, the others quickly joined him, and he was showered with praise. The young masters were treating him with great courtesy, largely due to his achievement in the Battle of Songzhou. As the night deepened, Li Su confided in Cheng Chumou about his troubles with the Ministry of Revenue, specifically with Wu Lang Zhong, who refused to allocate more funds for the firearm's bureau. Cheng Chumou and the other young masters were outraged and vowed to help Li Su take revenge. They marched towards the Ministry of Revenue, creating a grand and intimidating procession. Li Su had sobered up somewhat and was about to intervene, but he decided to let things escalate, hoping to test Li Shi Min's tolerance and push away his troubles.
