The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 107

Seeing Li Zhuozhi crying uncontrollably, Li Er felt extremely distressed, but he really didn't know how to plead with Xu Tian on his behalf, so he could only comfort him: "Zhuozhi, don't worry, your father will go and see what's going on lately, okay?"

Upon hearing Li Er's words, Li Zhuozhi nodded repeatedly, then snuggled against Empress Zhangsun in a flattering manner, his tears slightly wetting her robe.

Before he knew it, a long time had passed. Li Zhuozhi's eyes were swollen from crying. Exhausted from crying, he fell asleep in Empress Zhangsun's arms.

After he fell into a deep sleep, the nanny carried Li Zhuozhi into the room, leaving Li Er and Empress Zhangsun looking at each other.

"I think you should go and plead on this matter. This is the first time Zhuozhi has liked a teacher so much, and he has learned a lot of good knowledge from Master Xu. Such a good teacher should not be missed," Empress Zhangsun advised Li Er.

Li Er understood this meaning, and after thinking for a long time, he instructed his guard to say, "Go and see if Master Xu is still teaching today."

The guard quickly agreed and left to carry out the order.

After arriving at Xu Tian's school, he saw the notice posted in front of the school. He then quickly returned to the palace and told Li Er and Empress Zhangsun about it.

After hearing what the guard said, the two sighed.

"It seems that Master Xu is really going to close the school," Empress Zhangsun said helplessly. Then she asked the guard, "Does the notice say why classes will be suspended recently?"

The guard shook his head. "Reporting to the Empress, Master Xu did not say why he has not been teaching recently; he only said that he has stopped teaching."

Empress Zhangsun nodded slightly upon hearing this, then turned to look at Emperor Taizong of Tang, wanting to see what he thought.

"In that case, I will go and see for myself in a few days," Li Er said helplessly.

But they were completely unaware that Xu Tian had already made a decision in his heart.

He was sitting in his room, sighing again and again, never imagining that being a father and son would be so difficult.

Since Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty, could no longer accommodate him, it would be better for him to go to another country.

Before that, he still needed to compile a summary of the knowledge he had taught, so that his students wouldn't forget it all before finding their next teacher.

With that thought in mind, he sat down at the desk, picked up the brush, and wrote many words on the paper, one by one.

The handwriting was clear and not sloppy. It took Xu Tian a long time to finish writing the entire page.

Before he knew it, the lights had gone out countless times. Xu Tiancai compiled all the knowledge he had taught, and he was quite surprised when he saw it. He really hadn't expected that he had taught so much in such a short period of time.

He then continued writing.

After some time, his schedule became somewhat disrupted, but he persevered. He compiled teaching materials from many students, but still felt it wasn't enough, so he added some knowledge he wanted to teach later. Word by word, stroke by stroke, he compiled them into volumes of knowledge.

After everything was sorted out, countless days had passed.

Over the past few days, his eyes have inevitably developed some dark circles.

Now, he sleeps on his bed at night and gets up early the next morning to go to school. Passersby are overjoyed to see him return to school, and the students quickly hear the news and rush to the school.

Xu Tian hadn't expected that after he hadn't been to the school for a while, his sudden appearance would cause such a large group of students to arrive so quickly.

He felt somewhat relieved.
