The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 541

Yu Shu's performance on the field quickly came to the attention of the prime minister's men.

The prime minister was furious when he heard about this.

How can he be happy?

Xu Tian refused to accept his son as a disciple because of his poor performance.

And now the Grand Tutor's son is behaving so well.

Not only is he good at academics, but he learns everything very quickly.

To Xu Tian, ​​this was simply a genius.

That's why he agreed to the Grand Tutor so readily.

But he rejected himself again and again.

It was because of this incident that the prime minister harbored even greater resentment towards the Grand Tutor.

During the morning court session, the prime minister, who had long harbored resentment, hated the Grand Tutor even more.

The Grand Tutor's every word would incur the Prime Minister's displeasure.

The Grand Tutor stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, the floods in the south have subsided, and I believe that this matter will be completely resolved soon.”

Their only concern is this disaster.

Whether it's the North or the South.

This disaster has drawn great attention.

Currently, large quantities of grain have been released from granaries across the country. If, thanks to Xu Tian's methods, grain can be brought in this winter, then they can completely resolve this disaster.

Upon hearing the Grand Tutor's words, the Prime Minister immediately stepped forward.

"Why don't you go and see for yourself, Grand Tutor?"

If he felt uncomfortable with the Grand Tutor, he would argue back no matter what the Grand Tutor said.

Later, the Grand Tutor also reported on the invasion by the Southern Dynasty.

The prime minister began to resist again.

"The border has generals, but it also needs a Grand Tutor. Are you just talking about war on paper? If you think you can do it, then you can go straight to the battlefield and kill the enemy."

In short, no matter what the Grand Tutor said, the Prime Minister would criticize it.

The Grand Tutor could no longer contain himself.

"Prime Minister, you've gone too far! I have no grudge against you, yet you're deliberately making things difficult for me today!"

He pointed at the prime minister and began to curse.

Those ministers then seized the opportunity to fan the flames.

"The son of the Grand Tutor is about the same age as the son of the Prime Minister."

"But I've heard that the Grand Tutor's son learns everything very quickly and is an exceptionally intelligent child. As for the Prime Minister's son, well, the rumors are a bit hard to believe."

These words came from the Minister of War, who looked utterly disgusted.

He didn't get along with the Prime Minister to begin with.

This gave him a perfect opportunity to retort to the Prime Minister.

It just so happens that they share the same hatred for the Grand Tutor.

"However, since he is the son of the prime minister, others will give him some face. No matter what he does, those outsiders really don't dare to interfere."

"Besides, he's the son of the prime minister; who would dare offend him!"

Their meaning was very clear: they were saying that the prime minister's son was committing crimes outside.

These people just wanted to add fuel to the fire, to make the prime minister and the grand tutor fight each other, so they could watch from the sidelines.

After all, if these two were to start a fight, it would benefit both of them.

They belong to different factions, and their clansmen want the two of them to fight each other.

They then realized that both of their sons had already become disciples of Xu Tian.

This is going to be quite a show.

The Minister of War said directly, "His Majesty has already agreed to let the Prime Minister's son become Xu Tian's disciple. These two children are now Xu Tian's disciples, so why not find an opportunity to let them have a competition?"

"I'll show everyone who's really better between the two of them!"

Regardless of which of their sons wins or loses.

It won't do them any good or bad.
