The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 518

Seeing that the General of the State was unharmed, Li Er felt an even greater sense of admiration for Xu Tian.

However, in front of the entire court of officials, he couldn't say much!

However, those imperial physicians who determined they couldn't cure the general's old ailment...

None of them looked good.

When the general set off on his campaign, Xu Tian personally saw him off.

"General Zhenguo, on the day of your triumphant return, let us drink and celebrate together."

Xu Tian bowed respectfully to the General Who Protects the Nation.

After this incident, they have completely buried the hatchet!

Moreover, in Xu Tian's mind, the general was a truly respectable man.

Now, he has a deeper understanding of the general and admires him greatly.

A massive army of 100,000, marching in great numbers.

Officials of all ranks wanted to see him off, and the common people lined the streets to bid him farewell.

Li Er stood on the city wall, watching the general leave.

He was also thinking about seeing the general return in triumph as soon as possible.

We don't know when this stop will be! But everyone hopes it will be as soon as possible.

That's not true; even Xu Tian thinks so.

He even hoped that as many people went, as many would come back!

Li Er's eyes were sharp, and he only looked away after the army was out of sight.

He exclaimed with emotion, "It's really not easy to protect this vast land!"

How many people have fought tooth and nail for an inch of land?

How many more people have been displaced because of the war?

Looking at his soldiers heading off to war, Li Er felt a mix of emotions.

Every year, many soldiers die on the frontier.

What needs to be reported should not be reported.

Thinking of the mountains of corpses, Li Er felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

Ultimately, it all comes down to just a piece of land and a bite to eat.

If everyone is not hungry, then they wouldn't need to conquer other countries for even an inch of land.

They are the same.

Xu Tian nodded in agreement; this was indeed a troublesome matter.

Whether it's a disaster or a war.

The emperor was in a state of utter chaos.

He has a lot to think about and a lot to do.

His mind is never idle; he desperately needs a minister who can share his burdens.

But looking at all the ministers, who among them could do it?

Most of them are doing it for their own immediate benefit.

Xu Tian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured! Your subject will do his best to share the burden for Your Majesty, and do his best to teach and educate people, so as to cultivate better talents to serve the court."

Hearing Xu Tian's words, Li Er was deeply moved.

Unexpectedly, Xu Tian was so insightful. He first resolved the disaster problem, and now he has healed his great general.

To serve the country.

Now, Xu Tian has promised to cultivate more talents for the court, and Li Er naturally believes that Xu Tian can do it.

Just after Xu Tian finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that the Grand Tutor's family had mentioned several times that their son was unruly and no one could control him, but he was quite talented.

The Emperor frankly said, "The Grand Tutor's son has been talented since childhood, but he is extremely unruly. No teacher can control him. I hope you, my dear minister, can take action."

He felt that as long as Xu Tian took action, these things would definitely succeed.

Upon hearing that he was to be the Grand Tutor, Xu Tian agreed without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will return to the Grand Tutor's residence on a chosen day to check on things."

Xu Tian didn't dislike the Grand Tutor at all; he admired him greatly, and he naturally wouldn't refuse to help if he could.
