The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 565

Yu Shu's article was presented and immediately received praise from Xu Tian.

Lu Yanxi was filled with jealousy, which intensified her hatred for Yu Shu.

When Lu Yanxi returned home, the Prime Minister was waiting for her in the main hall.

"Why are you back so early today?"

Xu Tian's teaching style is almost entirely closed off.

I went to school very early every day and didn't go back until very late in the evening.

Moreover, the students were all picked up and dropped off by their own family's security guards.

Xu Tian will not be responsible for their safety outside the academy.

However, these ministers still went to great lengths to get their sons into Xu Tian's academy!

Lu Yanxi was still somewhat bothered by what happened during the day.

He was somewhat displeased.

Because he himself received criticism, while Yu Shu received praise.

Seeing his father made him feel even more wronged.

"What's wrong, son? Did something happen? Why are you so unhappy?"

The prime minister could tell at a glance that Lu Yanxi was in a bad mood.

This period is a crucial one.

They want to start the competition.

If his son is in a bad mood at this time.

This will affect the overall situation.

If we can't leave a good impression on Li Er this time...

When it comes to the real competition, they will probably all side with the Grand Tutor's son.

Lu Yanxi looked at her father and then said, "Today, Yu Shu and I handed in our two papers. My paper was praised by the teacher, but then I was criticized."

Upon hearing this, the prime minister's mind went blank for a moment.

"What? He was actually criticized? What about the Grand Tutor's son?"

The prime minister believed that as long as the Grand Tutor's son was also criticized, everything would be fine.

If it was only one side, his son was criticized.

That problem is not so simple.

Lu Yanxi directly mentioned that Yu Shu had been praised by Xu Tian.

The prime minister's expression immediately turned sour.

He slammed his hand on the table.

"What? That makes no sense!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to his son.

"You useless piece of trash!"

The prime minister was worried that the Grand Tutor's son would become too famous.

Thinking to himself that he could handle this matter properly, he was determined not to let the Grand Tutor's son win.

The next morning, just before the morning court session.

The prime minister arrived earlier than ever on this day.

He had to find that article first.

Although I don't know if the content inside is exactly as Xu Tian commented?

But since Xu Tian has already made that comment, his son's article must not be as good as the Grand Tutor's son's.

He quickly found the eunuch who had submitted the article.

"Is my father-in-law going to present my son's essays and those of the Grand Tutor's son?"

The father-in-law nodded and praised, "Congratulations to the Prime Minister for sending the child to Master Xu's academy. He will surely become a pillar of the nation in the future."

Upon hearing his father-in-law praise his son in such a way, the prime minister was already beaming with joy.

"Father-in-law, you flatter me! You flatter me!"

As he spoke, he moved closer to his father-in-law.

The conversation touched on some herbs smuggled from the Western Regions.

He knew the preferences of every single person serving the emperor in the palace.

He really liked vanilla.

They could even spend a lot of their salary to buy spices.

When the prime minister mentioned the matter of fragrant herbs, the eunuch's eyes lit up instantly.
