The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1285

King Yinglan frowned, showing no intention of being polite to Xu Tian.

"I didn't expect the Marquis to actually come today. Do you remember what happened a few days ago? Should I repeat it to the Marquis again?" King Yinglan's voice was loud, deliberately so that all the ministers could hear it.

If that were the case, he felt that the ministers would likely dislike Xu Tian even more.

His goal can then be fully achieved.

Scratching his head, Xu Tian kept the Yinglan King's light on. Sure enough, things were almost exactly as he had imagined.

"Your Highness, don't you welcome me to the Cuju match?" Not in a hurry to reveal the whole truth, Xu Tian asked with a smile.

Many things are better left unsaid until later, Xu Tian thought that would make things more interesting.

After speaking, Xu Tian quickly looked at Xie Tao, his expression shifting slightly.

Xie Tao immediately understood what Xu Tian was thinking and quickly lowered his head. He was not particularly brave enough to face Xu Tian and King Yinglan right now.

No matter what I say later, the final outcome will be bad.

"I am not an unreasonable person. Since you are here, then come on. Next, I will let you start with Cuju (ancient Chinese football). I wonder what you think?" Satisfied with Xu Tian's reaction, King Yinglan continued to make things difficult for Xu Tian.

He wanted to see just how long Xu Tian could endure.

It must be said that Xu Tian is actually quite capable. If it were any other minister, they would probably have left shortly afterward.

Xu Tian, ​​however, was completely different. He even had a smile on his face, as if he wasn't afraid at all.

Xu Tian nodded and did not refuse, and soon prepared to begin.

For the rest of the time, King Yinglan continued to make things difficult for Xu Tian with various words.

Cheng Wubin watched from the sidelines, his expression gradually turning angry. But he was well aware of what Xu Tian had reminded him of yesterday, and he didn't take any action.

That would also allow him to see what Xu Tian's abilities were like.

Feeling that it was about time, Xu Tian quickly gave Xie Tao a wink.

Noticing the gaze, Xie Tao made up his mind completely. He walked directly to the capital of Yinglan and told the whole truth without hesitation.

Completely unexpected by Xie Tao, all the ministers were shocked.

But they didn't believe Xie Tao. They just thought that Xie Tao had colluded with Xu Tian. "What's the use of you saying these things now? Someone has already identified Xu Tian. We will never believe it easily."

Other ministers also began to berate Xie Tao, using some rather harsh language.

"Haven't you always supported the Prince? What's going on today? Did you take a large sum of money from Xu Tian?" They even began to suspect Xie Tao, asking three questions with great anger.

Xie Tao had anticipated this outcome and lowered his head slightly.

This is what he deserves.

He was responsible for many of the things, so he deserves to be criticized.

Xu Tian was very satisfied with Xie Tao.

Although Xie Tao had agreed to his request yesterday, Xu Tian was still somewhat worried. What if Xie Tao suddenly changed his mind? That would be the end of them.

Now that it was almost time for him to make his appearance, Xu Tian quickly spoke up, "Your Highness, we'd like to hear your explanation."

King Yinglan was shocked by what had just happened and it took him a long time to calm down.

He never expected that Xie Tao would be the first to betray him.

Xie Tao has always been loyal to him. He has entrusted Xie Tao with many dirty tasks, which Xie Tao has always completed perfectly.

For this reason, King Yinglan trusted Xie Tao very much, and he could hardly believe the scene before him.
