The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 491

The news of the general's falling out with Xu Tian spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys.

The important officials of the court all knew about this, and even Emperor Taizong (Li Er) knew about it.

However, he could not interfere too much in the affairs of his subjects.

One must remain neutral and not take sides with anyone.

On this day, Li Er, dressed plainly, came to visit Xu Tian.

Xu Tian was busy alone in his study, having been working on disaster-related matters for the past few days.

Just as Songren was about to open the kitchen door, Li Er stopped him.

He opened the door, and Xu Tian thought it was Song Ren coming in to deliver water, so he didn't pay any attention and continued to look at his official documents.

When Li Er entered, he saw Xu Tianzheng engrossed in his official duties, not even noticing him coming in.

It seems he was just a guard who walked in.

Even at this point, Xu Tian still didn't realize that the person standing in front of him was Li Er.

He always thought it was pine nuts.

"Pine nuts, bring the tea!"

Having said that, he handed the cup over directly.

Songren, who was standing behind Li Er, quickly stepped forward. He said, "Aren't you going to come up and check on things? Or does the Emperor have to do it himself?"

After serving the tea, Songren returned to his seat.

Xu Tian took a sip of tea and continued reading the official documents.

Suddenly, he noticed that the room smelled wrong.

Only then did he look up.

He was taken aback when he saw the person in front of him.

"Your Majesty!"

After calling out this title, he quickly came around from behind the table, ready to bow.

Li Er stopped him.

"No need to be polite!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the official documents on the table.

The above are all scrolls about this disaster.

Seeing that Xu Tian was so engrossed in reading that he forgot to eat and sleep, Li Er made a suggestion.

"You have worked hard these days, my dear minister. I hereby bestow upon you the treasures of the palace."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and summoned the eunuchs outside.

He then had the eunuch give his orders.

Xu Tian was able to receive such an honor entirely because of his own hard work.

Every day, he worked to solve the problems of the people and offered advice to the emperor.

The news of Li Er's reward to Xu Tian quickly reached the ears of the General of the State, who was astonished to hear that Xu Tian had received so many gifts from Li Er.

He wasn't just envious and jealous; he hated Xu Tian to the core.

Xu Tian is becoming increasingly smug.

The more pleased he was, the more displeased the General Zhenguo became.

But even with all eyes fixed on him, he couldn't do anything to Xu Tian.

Jealousy is just jealousy after all.

He glared fiercely at Xu Tian; whenever the General Zhenguo saw him, his eyes were filled with hatred.

Everyone knows about his relationship with Xu Tian, ​​and things are very tense right now.

Therefore, Xu Tian is generally not mentioned in front of the General of the State.

Xu Tian put all the gifts he had received into the storeroom.

However, because of what had happened in the past few days, he dared not be negligent again.

Just then, inside the general's mansion.

The General who guarded the country summoned his subordinates.

"Xu Tian received so many rewards this time. I wonder what he said or did in front of him to get so many rewards."

He felt that Xu Tian had no real strength.

All of this is achieved through flattery and sycophancy.
