The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1189

When only Xu Tian remained in the main hall, he sat beside Li Zhi, quietly watching the lifeless person lying on the bed.

"Don't worry, no matter how many people were involved in this, I will never let them get away with it."

He thought to himself.

We're just waiting for Songren to bring the evidence back.

Xu Tian glanced at the list and found that a large portion of the military officers were related to the King of Yinglan.

"It seems these people don't take the so-called imperial authority seriously at all."

They currently have no evidence to prove who poisoned Li Zhi.

However, the rickshaw driver placed all his suspicions on King Yinglan.

Even so, he still needs to find evidence before he can convict.

King Yinglan suddenly returned to the capital.

Most importantly, he remained so unscrupulous after his return.

Moreover, he was on very good terms with all the civil and military officials.

Xu Tian sent Song Ren to secretly keep an eye on these people.

"Let's find out exactly who these people are secretly colluding together?"

Regardless, he believed that the evidence he had was simply insufficient to completely suppress these people.

He needs to find more evidence.

The next day, he went to court.

Because Li Zhi was bedridden, he was unable to attend court.

The civil and military officials have not attended court for the past few days.

But today they were summoned to the palace.

Everyone looked at him with a strange expression.

"Hasn't His Majesty been absent from court since his illness? Why is he attending court today?"

The civil and military officials began to discuss the matter in the main hall.

"So, His Majesty has been bedridden these past few days and unable to attend court, so why has he summoned us to the palace today?"

They were all very puzzled.

If they are not allowed to attend court, why summon them here?

Just as people like this were starting to have doubts, Xu Tian stepped out from behind.

Everyone stared at him in shock.

You should know that position is where the Emperor himself walked out.

Xu Tian stood directly in the center of the main hall, in front of everyone.

He glanced at the civil and military officials.

"I have summoned you to the palace today only to have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood that it wasn't the Emperor who had summoned them, but rather the Prince before them.

It was something they hadn't expected.

Xu Tian has become so unscrupulous now.

It seems he was completely unaffected by the rumors and gossip circulating outside.

The ministers inwardly scoffed at it.

They never thought highly of Xu Tian.

Now Xu Tian has actually done such a thing.

They found it even more intolerable.

Xu Tian pretended not to see the true colors of these people and made the announcement directly to the officials.

"Due to His Majesty's illness, all matters of the court are now entrusted to me, the Prince, who will act as regent."

After saying this, he continued to stare intently at these people.

I just want to see these people's true colors.

When the officials heard Xu Tian announce this, they became even more excited and began to discuss it.
