The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1009

Li Yuan naturally had no doubts about Prince Guo.

It seems that this whole affair was orchestrated by that imperial physician.

He mentioned this matter in his reply.

Xu Tian already knew that Li Yuan would never let the imperial physician go.

After learning about the poisoning, they immediately protected the imperial physician.

The purpose is to catch the person behind it all.

Because Prince Guo was unwilling to admit his crimes.

Then he would find evidence to prove that he had rebellious intentions.

In the imperial court, Prince Dun, knowing that Xu Tian had already discovered the matter, preemptively accused Xu Tian of secretly accepting bribes.

Xu Tian burst into laughter.

"Prince Guo, do you have any evidence to support your claims? As a prince, to frame another person without any evidence is an aggravating circumstance."

Prince Guo didn't care at all; he was willing to do anything to bring down Xu Tian.

Therefore, the court, together with other ministers, decided to expel the male protagonist from his position.

"We believe that since the Prince has such a bad record, he is not qualified to serve as the regent to manage state affairs!"

"That's right. A prince with a criminal record is indeed unsuitable."

Xu Tian looked directly at these people, who had all seized the opportunity to kick someone when they were down.

Everyone wants to get rid of him from this position.

And now, Li Zhi is still bedridden.

If they were to drive Xu Tian down at this moment, the one who would benefit the most would undoubtedly be Prince Guo right in front of them!

He knew perfectly well that Prince Guo was one of Li Yuan's cronies.

If he were to actually assume the position of regent, it would mean that Li Yuan was about to become the emperor.

Xu Tian inwardly mocked them coldly.

His face was already as cold as ice.

"You all accuse me of corruption and bribery. I wonder which of you here has any evidence?"

"Since you have no evidence, how dare you accuse me of embezzlement and bribery? Isn't that slander?"

"Or is it because you hold high positions of power that you can say whatever you want, and everything you say is considered evidence?"

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the group that had been preparing to retaliate found themselves unable to find a reason to do so.

If they were to truly retaliate, they would be right into Xu Tian's hands.

Just as Xu Tian said, they held high positions of power and could say whatever they wanted.

This is a major taboo for a minister.

Even if they were incredibly stupid, they wouldn't come out to fight at this time.

Those who were initially eager to try eventually backed down and kept quiet.

Xu Tian looked at these people, and then his gaze fell on Prince Guo's face.

“Your Highness accuses me of embezzlement and bribery. Produce me some evidence! Even the slightest bit of evidence is enough to convict me.”

"But if you can't produce even the slightest evidence and yet you slander me here, then I won't be so polite to you."

After Xu Tian finished speaking, he immediately had his guard bring out a file.

He gestured to the guard to hand the dossier to Prince Guo.
