The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1246

"These days I've been feeling uneasy and don't know what to do. Now, with all this happening, I'm really furious." Shaking his head, King Yinglan's mind was filled with thoughts of Xu Tian.

He thought he had victory in his grasp, but little did he know that he had seemingly fallen into Xu Tian's trap.

"Can't we just rebel against Xu Tian? He's not as high-ranking as me. I think if I wanted to, I could definitely find a way." Frustrated, King Yinglan patted his head and quickly asked.

How exactly can we get Xu Tian into prison?

He tried many methods, but none of them worked.

“He didn’t do anything wrong, and we can’t find any clues.” The strategist shook his head, somewhat avoiding King Yinglan’s eyes.

Suddenly remembering something, he quickly added, "Just because it doesn't work now doesn't mean it won't work in the future. We just need to release some false evidence. As long as the prince is involved, I think the other ministers will believe it."

The strategist's words greatly improved King Yinglan's mood, and he nodded hastily.

"Your Highness, it's almost time. We should hurry and see Xu Tian, ​​lest he use this matter against you." Seeing that Prince Yinglan had no intention of taking any action, the strategist could only remind him.

Taking deep breaths, King Yinglan finally became exceptionally calm. "Since you've already said that, then I can only go see Xu Tian now."

King Yinglan had his servants dress him up in the most smart way, and soon headed towards Xu Tian's residence. Before long, he saw Xu Tian busy at work.

Upon noticing the arrival of the King of Yinglan, Xu Tian quickly stopped what he was doing.

Xu Tian was somewhat surprised to find that King Yinglan was very calm, as he had thought the king might be in a flustered state.

But thinking about it, it makes sense, after all, King Yinglan had an advisor by his side.

"Your Highness has finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for so long." Xu Tian gestured for him to sit down first.

Shaking his hand, King Yinglan observed Xu Tian, ​​"I wonder what you've summoned me for today. You'd better finish telling me everything quickly."

A few simple words were enough; he had other things to attend to afterward.

"Your Highness, there's no need to rush. I believe you'll soon learn the whole truth." Xu Tian wasn't angry; he simply smiled slightly.

He's gotten used to this kind of scene and doesn't say much.

Once King Yinglan was fully seated, Xu Tian began today's topic.

Xu Tian recently discovered that the person in question was a civil servant who was affiliated with Yinglan Wang's faction.

After listening to the entire story, King Yinglan turned to look at his advisor, his expression complex. Sure enough, the situation was almost exactly as he had predicted.

"How can you be sure that things are correct? I think you should investigate a little longer and not put the wrong things on the table." Xu Tian hadn't produced any evidence yet, so King Yinglan wasn't afraid at all.

The civil officials are our own people, so we should argue our case based on reason, no matter what.

“Indeed, it is particularly difficult to handle without evidence. I will now present some of the evidence so that Your Highness can hear it carefully.”

Xu Tian's next words left King Yinglan speechless.

In such a short time, Xu Tian had already found the evidence.
