The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 527

In the imperial court, Xu Tian refused the prime minister's offer.

However, the prime minister did not think so. He believed that once Xu Tian finished his work, he could bring his son to visit in person.

He simply couldn't believe that the Prime Minister's influence was less than that of the Grand Tutor.

It was quite late when Xu Tian finished reviewing the official documents.

He looked at the sky outside and said, "Songren, go and rest first."

Looking at Songren, who had been standing guard beside him, he said calmly.

Song Ren bowed respectfully, then nodded and left.

The following day, after the morning court session, Xu Tian organized the official documents in his hands.

However, these things cannot be accomplished all at once.

After he finished looking through them, he had Songren deliver them to the imperial city.

He himself went to the Grand Tutor's house.

He promised to teach Yu Shu polo.

The Grand Tutor was naturally very pleased to see Xu Tian arrive.

He and Xu Tian chatted idly in the courtyard.

"Yu Shu has been very focused these past few days, reading every morning. All of this is thanks to you, Lord Xu!"

"I just don't know how Lord Xu managed to subdue such a unruly child like me?"

He was genuinely curious about this.

You should know that so many teachers before him were unable to teach his son properly.

In the end, all those gentlemen were driven out of their homes.

When it comes to this, Xu Tian really does have some tricks up his sleeve.

Xu Tian took a sip of tea and said casually, "I just took him out to town and then arranged a polo match. Yu Shu really likes polo and wanted me to teach him, so I used that as a condition."

The Grand Tutor burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"This kid is really..."

If he had known this method would work, why would he have invited those gentlemen in the first place?

Xu Tian thought that Yu Shu was actually quite likable.

Their previous misbehavior was simply because they had no other choice.

Now he is focused on his studies and can be considered a good child.

He believed that Yu Shu would definitely become a pillar of the nation in the future.

They then talked about the prime minister.

The Grand Tutor sighed softly, "To be honest, almost everyone in the court knows that I have a bad relationship with the Prime Minister."

When he said this, the Grand Tutor's expression became somewhat indifferent.

"The reason is nothing more than the children from our two families."

Xu Tian listened attentively, without making any attempt to speak.

In fact, he had learned about this matter from Li Er and knew that it was quite troublesome.

Because the relationship between their two families is difficult to repair.

For Li Er, the Grand Tutor was like a father.

The prime minister, on the other hand, held most of his power.

He was the most powerful person in the entire court.

Li Er doesn't want to suppress it right now.

Because I don't have that ability at all.

Xu Tian also knew that many things were done by the prime minister.

Although he did not express any dissatisfaction with the prime minister in court.

He seemed to treat this person with great respect, but deep down he had some ulterior motives.

The Grand Tutor said, "Just because our two sons had a conflict, the Prime Minister came to our house and made a scene once. Moreover, he used his power to intimidate us that time. To be honest, that Prime Minister is really not easy to deal with."
