The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 446

Only then did Xu feel relieved.

"Now that you scholars have decided to stay, I am relieved."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I will keep updating the information on all aspects of the academy's conditions. These matters will be finalized very soon."

"In the future, when conditions are better, it will be much better for you to stay here."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the scholars exchanged glances. As long as the conditions could be improved and their salaries could be increased, it would naturally be a win-win situation.

They were quite satisfied.

The key point is that this salary is much higher than when I first came here.

Based on this one condition alone, they had no reason to leave.

So they all decided to stay here peacefully.

After dealing with things here, Xu Tian felt like returning to Chang'an.

The matter concerning the Minister of Works must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if this matter continues to drag on, it will only end up being left unresolved.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Minister of Works had already returned to Chang'an City ahead of him.

Moreover, this guy even falsely accused Li Er, shifting all the blame onto Xu Tian.

Xu Tian was furious when he learned about this.

However, everything requires evidence, and the Minister of Works had no evidence, only empty words! He could not convict himself.

It's no use him being angry; this guy has to be punished, and the only way is for him to produce all the evidence.

Only by proving their innocence can they completely suppress the Minister of Works.

Everyone looked at the Minister of Works. Li Er understood, and he immediately kept the Minister of Works on the job.

However, he was not treated like a criminal; he was simply left in the backyard, and not treated as a guest.

You two are actually very clear about this matter.

However, he would wait until Xu Tian arrived before discussing all of this.

First, he had no evidence whatsoever, even though Cheng Yaojin had already stated it.

However, everything must be presented with evidence to convince others with reason.

Only Xu Tian and the Minister of Works truly know the truth about this matter. He must wait until Xu Tian arrives to confront the Minister of Works face to face.

The Minister of Works was extremely cunning. Even at this point, he was still trying to justify himself and extricate himself completely.

"As you know, Elder Cheng has already begun to intervene in this matter. If he were to come, things would likely become even more difficult to handle."

Li Er directly used Cheng Yaojin to suppress the Minister of Works, but he knew that the Minister of Works was not so easy to deal with, so he had to use some other method to deal with him indirectly.

The Minister of Works really didn't give Li Er any face at all.

He said directly, "This whole thing was done by Xu Tian alone. I had no idea about it at all, so naturally I won't take the blame. That kid Xu Tian is very cunning. He didn't miss a single detail in this matter."

"You absolutely cannot let him go! That kid has already come to Chang'an! See? See? He's here right on time to apologize for his mistake."

Even the Minister of Works didn't believe he had destroyed all the evidence, so what could Xu Tian possibly do to him?

Hmph! With a cold snort, he had already informed Li Er of these crimes before Xu Tian, ​​and he didn't believe that Xu Tian could really get away with it.

Li Er did not directly convict Xu Tian, ​​but said to the Minister of Works, "We must wait until Xu Tian arrives before we can make a decision on this matter. You will stay for now and leave after the matter is resolved satisfactorily."
