The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 113

When Li Er heard Fang Xuanling say these words, he immediately became angry. "What do you mean by this? How could Master Xu have any rebellious intentions?"

"I don't know where the stars are, but I do know that this father and son are definitely trying to corrupt the descendants of the Tang Dynasty, divide the court, and teach the emperor to be a wise and just minister, to follow the emperor's words in everything. This is the right thing to do. Not to mention his talk of the empress's relatives seizing power, I think it's all nonsense. How could our Tang Dynasty follow in the footsteps of the Western Han Dynasty? It's obvious that they want to curse the Tang Dynasty."

Xu Tian paused for a moment after hearing Fang Xuanling's words. If he had told the story in advance, how many people would have believed him? He knew the course of history of the Tang Dynasty, which was why he said that.

"You must be prepared for any eventuality. You must understand that anything is possible!" Li Er said to Fang Xuanling, his tone somewhat heavy. "Master Xu is someone I have chosen. He is highly talented, knowledgeable, outspoken, and dares to speak and act. Such a person is of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty... are you really sure? I believe Xu Tian is truly unfit to teach in the palace!"

"Alright, Fang Xuanling, I also care about the Tang Dynasty, but my mind is made up now. Empress Zhangsun has also spoken highly of Master Xu. There is nothing wrong with him coming into my palace to teach the princes and princesses!" Li Er said firmly at this moment.

Seeing that Li Er was determined to bring Master Xu into the palace, Fang Xuanling stared at him with a somewhat cold expression.

At this moment, Xu Tian suddenly stood up, showing his determination to walk with the two of them. He was about to leave when Li Er became even more anxious and pulled him down again, saying, "Master Xu, Fang Xuanling is only too concerned about the politics of the Tang Dynasty now, fearing that he will follow in the footsteps of Qin and Han. His true nature is not like that."

But Xu Tian was somewhat angry. He shook his head and said distantly, "No need. Since Fang Xuanling doesn't want me to enter the palace, then I won't. Besides, I have no intention of going to the palace to teach the princes and princesses. But I, Xu, will still remember this favor."

After saying this, he actually intended to leave. Li Er could only quickly pull Fang Xuanling aside, saying, "Fang Xuanling, you have really misunderstood Master Xu. This matter is your fault. Apologize to Master Xu!"

Fang Xuanling waved his hand, "Asking me to apologize to him? Let's forget about it!"

After saying that, he let out a cold snort, clearly very angry.

Having no other option, Li Er turned to Xu Tian and continued to persuade him: "Xu Tian, ​​why don't you go to the palace to teach? I will certainly not treat you badly. Li Zhuozhi is also missing you very much and is crying bitterly, hoping that you can go back."

Xu Tian shook his head again, "No, you should find someone else. I really can't accept this blessing! It's late tonight and I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go upstairs to rest first. Goodbye."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went upstairs without ever looking back.

To say that Xu Tian wasn't angry would be a lie. Fang Xuanling's words, such as "corrupting the descendants of the Tang Dynasty," truly chilled the heart of this dedicated teacher. He had never mistreated any student, nor had he ever scolded or beaten any of them. He had diligently taught and nurtured them, only to be betrayed in the end. Who wouldn't feel disheartened?

Xu Tian originally thought that Fang Xuanling might go back with Li Er the next day, but he didn't expect to see Du Ruhui when he got up and went downstairs the next morning.

In other words, Li Er will definitely go back to the morning court session, but his men have not yet left.

It seems that Li Er is quite persistent.

Despite this, Xu Tian's anger had not subsided.

He's not a saint, so why should he easily forgive someone who has been slandering him for so long?

But at that moment, Du Ruhui saw Xu Tian. Seeing that Xu Tian was about to turn around and visit again, he quickly stepped forward and called out to Xu Tian: "Xu Tian, ​​wait a moment, wait a moment."

Xu Tian frowned slightly. Facing so many people, he had no choice but to stop and turn around. He saw Wu Duruhui walking towards him.
