The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1205

After the officers and soldiers blocked off the main street, the guards leading the team came to Xu Tian.

"My lord, I am the nephew of the King of Yinglan! This man has violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty by bullying members of the royal family," the young master shouted, revealing a smug expression.

The guard didn't recognize King Yinglan at all, and only asked Xu Tian, ​​"Lord Gao, what's going on?"

"This man, who claimed to be the nephew of the King of England, harassed respectable women," Xu Tian said truthfully.

Upon learning this, the guards ordered four men to carry the young master away!

A moment later, Xu Tian slowly approached the woman. He reached out to help her up and asked if she was alright.

"I'm fine, thank you, young master. I'm worried about you, young master. Will you be impeached by the King of Yinglan in the future?" The woman's tone was worried, and she frowned.

"fine."

Xu Tian said this calmly, and then told the young woman to leave.

As the young woman left, she turned back every three steps, expressing her gratitude to Xu Tian.

A little later, Xu Tian also left.

Some onlookers said the young man was too reckless and would likely face many hardships in the future. Of course, some young men also admired Xu Tian.

Soon, the news spread, and the people came to know of the noble King Yinglan.

Inside the palace, a servant was telling Prince Yinglan about what was happening outside. Prince Yinglan listened attentively, and the servant eventually recounted what had happened that day.

He was furious. This nephew of his was a good-for-nothing who used his name to do bad things all day long! So he asked, "What has he done this time?"

King Yinglan stroked his beard, secretly noting the brave young man's note. "It's good that my nephew got a lesson; he's ruining my reputation everywhere!"

The servant truthfully replied, "The young master took a fancy to a woman who was quite pretty, so he went to flirt with her."

King Yinglan slammed his fist on the table, his dissatisfaction with his nephew growing ever stronger.

Then King Yinglan asked again, "Is he using my name again?"

"Yes," the servant replied, noticing that King Yinglan's face grew increasingly dark. Knowing something terrible was about to happen, the servant quickly left the mansion.

King Yinglan thought to himself, although the laws of the Tang Dynasty granted special treatment to princes and nobles, who would dare to use it? Especially King Yinglan, who was increasingly fading from the court, cherished his reputation even more.

This nephew of mine is quite something; he's always carrying his Yinglan King banner and doing bad things everywhere.

This damaged the reputation of the King of England and caused him to sigh in despair.

Then, several advisors arrived at the palace. King Yinglan then told the advisors about the matter.

"Although this matter is indeed wrong, and I also despise this nephew for disgracing the family, he is still my nephew."

“He has been taken away by officials, so it’s not appropriate for me to show up.”

King Yinglan stroked his beard and started talking about Xu Tian again.

One of the advisors, after considering the pros and cons, said, "Your Highness, I think we should follow the rules. Otherwise, if we anger the powerful figures in the court, we'll be in trouble. After all, harassing respectable women is forbidden under the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

"But I am the King of Yinglan," the King of Yinglan said, feeling extremely displeased! If Xu Tian were sensible, he should release the King of Yinglan's nephew and then apologize!

The advisors exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "Although King Yinglan is a feudal lord, the powerful figures in the court are not to be trifled with." These powerful figures had long harbored conflicts with King Yinglan and his associates.

The court had long wanted to reduce the power of these vassal kings, but they didn't have the time because of external threats.

King Yinglan himself knew that he was just a minor vassal and his words carried little weight.

"Who is this Xu Tian?" King Yinglan asked again, clearly dissatisfied with this naive official. He decided to have the official dismiss him when he had the opportunity.

Another aide came up and reported, "Xu Tianchao is a high-ranking official, but I'm afraid you, Prince Yinglan, cannot influence him."
