The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1243

Those civil officials who were promoted by Xu Tian were all extremely grateful to him, and they all stood on Xu Tian's side.

Xu Tian was quite satisfied with the situation and pondered the current state of King Yinglan in his mind.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis. We will do whatever you ask us to do in the future." While still thinking, Xu Tian heard the civil official's somewhat excited voice.

Xu Tian realized what was happening and quickly waved his hand, saying, "You have always worked for the well-being of the people, so it is only right that I promote you. Get up now."

Because of Xu Tian's words, they respected him even more.

After a brief moment of quiet, Xu Tian smiled and invited the civil officials to sit down. He then had his men pour tea and serve them refreshments, carefully observing their every move.

"You've come at just the right time. I've been having trouble sleeping lately because of some things." Xu Tian finally turned his gaze away and prepared to speak.

Upon hearing this, they immediately perked up.

If they could help Xu Tian, ​​it would be a perfect way to express their loyalty, and the more they thought about it, the more excited they became.

Since things had already come to this, Xu Tian explained everything directly, his expression gradually becoming serious. He wasn't sure what good ideas they might have, but it was always good to test the waters.

"Please speak, Your Excellency. We still hold the same idea as before." The civil official standing in the middle answered earnestly, already showing his eagerness.

Xu Tian flicked his sleeves, his face showing considerable worry: "These past few days, I've been looking through the ledgers and have indeed uncovered quite a few things. But there are still many I have no clue about."

This wasn't an act; Xu Tian was also a bit irritable now.

There are too many things to handle; he can't solve them all by himself.

“Since Your Excellency has said so, you can leave the investigation to us. We happen to have nothing else to do and can help you.” They tried their best to impress him.

Xu Tian sighed softly, as if he was considering something.

A moment later, he heard the civil official's voice again: "This humble official knows that Your Excellency may be afraid, but we are all sincere. We haven't even tried yet, how can Your Excellency know that we have no way of finding out everything?"

It must be said that what he said was absolutely right.

"Since you've all said so, if I disagree, wouldn't I seem heartless?" Xu Tian smiled with satisfaction, his expression calm and composed.

They nodded in unison.

"We've talked enough, you should all go back now." Xu Tian felt he had to do other things next.

He knew very well that the King of England had been sending people to observe him.

The civil official hurriedly stood up and politely said goodbye to Xu Tian.

Once their figures had completely disappeared, Xu Tian calmly withdrew his gaze.

"Things are definitely not going to be that easy. I have to take action." Clenching his fist, Xu Tian felt a little worried.

After saying that, Xu Tian quickly got to work.

King Yinglan naturally learned of this and was furious.

The advisor stood beside King Yinglan, his anxiety almost impossible to conceal.

"Xu Tian is really something. Does he think he can find out everything just by calling in some civil officials? What a joke." With an angry snort, King Yinglan's eyes were full of disdain for Xu Tian.

He always felt that Xu Tian was looking down on him.

"Your Highness, calm down. Xu Tian is just a nobody. We don't need to get angry over a nobody." Seizing the opportune moment, the strategist quickly spoke up to persuade Prince Yinglan.
