The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1066

Therefore, the Minister of Justice was not afraid at all.

As long as the general is found guilty of something at that time.

They could let him die.

Xu Tian stepped forward and bowed with his hands clasped.

"Your Majesty, there are many doubts surrounding this matter. We cannot make a decision yet."

The Minister of Justice disagreed with Xu Tian's words.

"Your Highness, the evidence is now irrefutable, yet you still say there are many doubts. Tell me, what exactly are these doubts?"

Xu Tian already understood.

The Minister of Justice was deliberately trying to frame the general.

That's why such a thing happened.

Xu Tian went directly to the Emperor and vouched for the General Who Protects the Nation.

"Your Majesty, please grant me seven days to investigate the truth. If I fail to uncover the truth, I will share the same punishment as the general."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, Li Zhi frowned.

If Xu Tian really can't find out the truth within seven days, then even Li Zhi won't be able to speak up for him.

Although Li Zhi was worried, he had to trust Xu Tian.

If we were to protect him at this point, it would only make Xu Tian's situation more difficult.

Xu Tian and the others left the Imperial Study and returned to their respective residences.

Xu Tian went directly to Songren to deliver a letter.

We'll wait until this matter is settled.

Then they heard the steward outside announce, "Your Highness, the Minister of Justice requests an audience."

Xu Tian's expression tightened slightly.

The fact that the Minister of Justice came to see him at this time was undoubtedly because of the general's matter.

He was clearly trying to frame the general on purpose.

What are you doing here looking for him now?

Xu Tian simply didn't want to see him.

However, forced by circumstances, he still had to meet this person.

So they just let them in.

Xu Tian received the Minister of Justice in the main hall.

"I've heard that Your Highness also enjoys calligraphy and painting? Indeed, your home is filled with calligraphy and paintings."

This was also the first time the Minister of Justice had visited Xu Tian's residence.

He believed that his residence was filled with the fragrance of books.

Although he said that, he already felt contempt and disdain in his heart.

Xu Tian looked at it with his heart, but remained expressionless.

"I wonder what brings you here, Minister?

The Minister of Justice stated frankly, "Your Highness, investigating this matter alone would be somewhat cumbersome. How about I assist you in the investigation?"

Xu Tian snorted coldly in his heart.

His face immediately revealed a hint of disdain.

He stated frankly, "There is no need for the Minister of Justice; at this moment, I alone can suffice."

Hearing Xu Tian's words, the Minister of Justice was very displeased.

But we cannot resist it.

After all, the person in front of him was a prince.

Moreover, besides being a prince, he was also a minister in charge of assisting the emperor.

In the imperial court, few dared to openly offend anyone.

Not to mention him, the newly appointed official.

Since Xu Tian wouldn't let him assist in the investigation, he would think of another way.

After returning home, the Minister of Justice was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent it. He wanted to transfer the matter directly to the General of the State.

Since he couldn't afford to offend Xu Tian, ​​he could afford to offend the General Who Protects the Nation.

The General Who Protects the Nation is now a criminal.

He has been placed under house arrest in his own residence.

The Minister of Justice went directly to the General's Mansion.
