The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 123

They all feel deeply ashamed now.

After a long period of silence, one of the teachers stepped forward and said to Xu Tian, ​​"Xu Tian... I apologize for my attitude towards you just now."

Xu Tian smiled slightly and said, "It's alright."

After one person stepped forward to apologize, the other teachers also came forward one by one to apologize for their earlier behavior, as it was indeed somewhat shameful.

But their apologies were all stammering, just like that person's, as if Xu Tian were some kind of devil.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian's expression turned somewhat helpless.

It's quite amusing that these scholars apologize in such a girlish way.

While these teachers were apologizing to Xu Tian, ​​the expression of the master on the other side changed subtly. His expression turned cold as he stared indifferently at the scene before him.

By now, all the other princes and princesses have arrived.

The class was about to begin, so the teachers all left.

Each tutor was assigned a single lesson, and the content they taught varied greatly. It's clear that Emperor Taizong (Li Er) cared deeply about the learning of his descendants.

Xu Tian originally wanted to ask the Grand Tutor what he taught and when classes were held, but the Grand Tutor had already left and had no idea where he had gone.

Fortunately, the other teachers weren't treating him too badly these days. Seeing Xu Tian's confusion, they stepped forward and said, "Grand Tutor Xu, your lesson will begin soon."

Xu Tian nodded and said, "Thank you."

Soon, the other teacher finished his lesson, and after the princes and princesses rested, they returned to the classroom. Xu Tian thought that he would probably be the one to teach this lesson.

Seeing that each teacher had a specific task and what they were supposed to teach, and that the group of princes and princesses even had rest periods along the way, Xu Tianbian couldn't help but think: "As expected, modern society is basically playing what ancient society left behind."

He stepped into the school, where all the princes and princesses were already seated.

Xu Tian originally thought that only princes could properly study military, political and historical matters, but he did not expect that the princesses would also be included.

At first, he really thought that the princesses were learning etiquette, music, and chess, which was quite unexpected.

But the princes and princesses had all heard of Xu Tian's identity—a village tutor? For him to come and teach them was a disgrace to the Li family. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Tang Dynasty couldn't find any good tutors.

Therefore, among all the students, only Li Zhuozhi showed great seriousness and enthusiasm, while the others did not express any interest or reaction.

Seeing this, Xu Tian didn't think much of it and began to introduce himself.

After his introduction, no one wanted to talk to him anymore.

So Xu Tian prepared to go straight to class, but at that moment, a prince glanced at him and asked, "Master Xu, what are your skills?"

"I wouldn't claim to be an expert in everything from astronomy to geography, but I can answer most of the questions you can ask," Xu Tian said.

The prince scoffed, clearly disbelieving, and then turned away, looking extremely unwilling to attend his class.

Xu Tian didn't say anything and started talking about knowledge directly.

The days passed quickly, and the princes and princesses' impressions of Xu Tian completely changed during these days.

One story involved a prince who asked the tutor a difficult question, which the tutor did not know the answer to. However, Xu Tian solved the problem with ease and then told a long story about it, which they listened to with great interest.

From that moment on, they realized that Xu Tian was not someone without any ability.

A few days later, a teacher anxiously turned left and right.

Seeing this, Xu Tian curiously stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
