The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 542

The only good thing for them is that the relationship between the prime minister and the grand tutor will become increasingly tense.

In fact, these ministers were all aware of the situation.

Rumors are not always false.

Everyone knows that Yu Shu is a well-known genius in the city, but Lu Yanxi, the son of the prime minister, is not so much the same.

The prime minister, being competitive and ambitious, would naturally not let such an opportunity pass him by.

Since they've already brought it up, he can't very well say he won't participate.

Wouldn't that make everyone criticize him? They'd say his son is inferior to other people's sons.

His son couldn't possibly lose to anyone else.

Not to mention, he's the son of the Grand Tutor.

He simply couldn't let this opportunity slip by.

He readily agreed, "Okay, let's have a competition."

He simply didn't believe his son could lose to anyone.

What's wrong with the Grand Tutor's son? He just won the last competition.

They started to become arrogant.

He wouldn't deign to do that.

Once the prime minister agreed, the grand tutor immediately followed suit.

After all, his Yu Shu is not inferior to anyone.

The prime minister's son lost last time.

Moreover, Yu Shu is absolutely determined not to lose this time.

Xu Tian remained silent, after all, these two children were now his apprentices.

Regardless of who loses, it will be his problem now.

He had to come up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.

He noticed that the newly appointed prime minister was not well-liked; several officials in the court were at odds with him.

If you're not careful, you can easily get into an argument with someone.

Xu Tian felt this was a huge headache.

He sighed softly to himself, thinking that the Minister of War had really given him a tricky task this time.

He knows better than anyone else what's going on.

The Minister of War had a bad relationship with the Prime Minister, and he wished that everyone in the court was hostile to the Prime Minister.

However, the prime minister also has his own faction. If Yu Shu were to defeat Lu Yanxi again this time, a truly irreparable rift would appear between the Grand Tutor and the prime minister.

The Emperor would also be in a difficult position because of this, and Xu Tian did not want this to happen.

But he couldn't stop it.

After the court session, the prime minister saw Xu Tian and immediately asked, "I wonder how Yan Xi's studies are going lately?"

His child had been studying with Xu Tian for several days, and when he returned home, he didn't have time to check on him.

I just happened to see Xu Tian, ​​so I thought I'd ask him.

Xu Tian smiled and nodded, saying, "He's made great progress recently; he learns everything very quickly."

Although Lu Yanxi was indeed inferior to Yu Shu, she always wanted to beat Yu Shu.

So he also became very hardworking.

Although Xu Tian felt that the child was too calculating, a child is a child, and it's good that he's making progress.

The prime minister was very happy to hear Xu Tian speak of his son in such a way.

"Really? Then I'm relieved. I'll have to trouble you again, Lord Xu."

Xu Tian just smiled and didn't answer.

Now, that position seems extremely strange, after all, one is a prime minister and the other is a grand tutor.

He was caught in the middle, which was indeed a bit of a dilemma.

The prime minister was pleased and wanted to go out with Xu Tian.

The Minister of War, who came out next, saw the two men, especially the Prime Minister, and said sarcastically, "Prime Minister, are you trying to get Lord Xu to find a way to let your son win?"
