The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 512

Although that's what the general said, Li Er was still very worried.

Subsequently, he ordered the imperial physicians to personally treat the General of the Nation.

"I am very pleased that the general has volunteered! However, because General Zheng Guo's injuries have not fully healed, I have specially ordered the imperial physician to go to your residence to recuperate you. You can go on the expedition after you have fully recovered."

The Emperor has already given the order.

The two most senior imperial physicians went directly to the general's residence.

However, after a thorough examination, the two imperial physicians were at a loss.

The two of them discussed it.

"Doctor Wang, have you found anything?"

The one called Physician Wang nodded.

He also looked quite troubled.

"I am helpless to cure the old ailment of the General."

After saying this, both imperial physicians shook their heads, indicating that they were powerless to help.

Moreover, they quickly reported the matter to the Emperor.

After learning about this, Li Er felt very heavy-hearted.

After the morning court session, he summoned Xu Tian.

"Minister Xu, the imperial physicians are completely helpless regarding the General's chronic ailment. I know you have many methods. Do you have any ideas?"

Xu Tian nodded.

"It's not that there's absolutely no way, it's just that this matter..."

He did not continue.

Because he had a grudge against the general, he was aware of the general's old ailment.

But we cannot treat him.

Because their relationship has not improved.

Although their relationship has improved because of this incident, he knows that the general might not be willing to lower himself to come to him.

He said to Li Er, "The General's old ailment is indeed a thorny issue. Although our relationship has improved somewhat because of his birthday celebration, but..."

It was clear that the general's grudge against him had not truly been resolved.

Ultimately, all of this stems from the Minister of Works, but there's absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter.

Li Er looked at Xu Tian, ​​knowing that he could handle the matter well.

However, this will take time.

In addition, if the general is not fully recovered, they cannot easily launch an expedition.

Now that the barbarians are invading, if the general cannot set out on the expedition on time, there will be no way to completely repel them.

Although his court has more than just the General Who Guards the Nation, this incident requires a general who is very familiar with the wilderness.

And the General Who Guards the Nation is undoubtedly the general who understands the barbarian soldiers best.

Only his expedition could deter those barbarians.

Xu Tian was already aware of this, so he expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will certainly handle this matter well."

"However, regarding the matter of my ability to cure the General's old ailment, Your Majesty will need to subtly persuade me."

Xu Tian smiled lightly, "Your Majesty also knows that the relationship between your subject and the General has not been completely eased. If I were to request to go to the General's residence to treat his old ailment, it would be completely refused."

Li Er was naturally well aware of the general's temperament.

That person is incredibly stubborn; once he gets going, not even ten oxen could pull him back.

He sighed softly to himself.

He then said, "You can rest assured and do this. As for other matters, I will naturally send people to handle them."

Xu Tian nodded in relief.

However, he then thought of something else.

So he said to Li Er, "Your Majesty, how about this!"

Upon hearing Xu Tian speak, Li Er immediately listened attentively.

Xu Tian said, "Although the relationship between me and the general has never been completely resolved, Your Majesty can issue an order!"

Li Er looked at Xu Tian and knew that Xu Tian must have a solution.
