The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 566

"Really? It seems the Prime Minister has done a great job!"

The prime minister smiled and said, "No, no. All the credit naturally belongs to Lord Wei. I only got some herbs from him."

After saying this, he handed the vanilla directly to the old man.

The father-in-law remained expressionless, but his entire face was beaming with joy.

The prime minister took the opportunity to replace the articles written by Yu Shu and the other person.

During the morning court session, the prime minister looked smug.

He had already switched the articles, because there were no names on the articles at all; the names were written on the outside of the scroll.

Li Er took the articles handed to him by his father-in-law, and first saw Lu Yanxi's, his expression showing no change whatsoever.

It looked very calm.

The ministers knew the outcome as soon as they saw his expression.

The Minister of War glanced at the Prime Minister with a smile, waiting to see the old man make a fool of himself.

The next moment, Li Er picked up the second article and began to read it.

After glancing at it a few times, his face instantly lit up with joy.

The courtiers could tell from his expression that the article must be excellent.

And it wasn't just good; he wasn't even this happy when it came to the memorials submitted by his ministers.

Li Er completely believed that this excellent article was written by the prime minister's son.

After reading it, I highly praised it.

"Excellent, all the comments are insightful and pinpoint the key points perfectly. I'm afraid most officials couldn't do that. Excellent, excellent! He is indeed extremely talented."

The prime minister was very pleased with Li Er's comments.

However, the Minister of War standing next to him immediately frowned.

I never expected that the prime minister's son would be so prominent.

It's clearly what others are saying; he's a good-for-nothing.

But now, with just one article, he has received such praise from the Emperor.

This was something none of them had expected.

Li Er merely praised the prime minister's son, and then pointed out the shortcomings of the grand tutor's son.

"Although the Grand Tutor's son's analysis is quite good, it lacks some key points and practical experience!"

Upon hearing Li Er's comment, Xu Tian immediately sensed something was amiss.

Li Er's views could not possibly be completely contrary to his own.

Previously, Li Er had praised Yu Shu's article as excellent, so why was he praising Lu Yanxi now?

That's completely impossible.

Xu Tian questioned this.

"Your Majesty, I wish to take a look at the article."

He simply couldn't believe that Yu Shu's writing could have any shortcomings.

His analysis was so accurate.

Moreover, when he read the article, he realized that Lu Yanxi's article clearly had flaws.

That's the complete opposite.

He suspected that the two people's test papers had been switched.

Otherwise, how could their comments be completely different?

He asked to see the article, but the prime minister stopped him.

"Lord Xu, what do you mean by this? They are both your students, are you going to favor one over the other?"

The prime minister would not give him the slightest chance.

He wouldn't miss this opportunity.

As long as his son behaves well in front of the emperor.

Apart from Xu Tian, ​​no one else had read these two articles.

Therefore, no one will have any doubts.

As long as Xu Tian doesn't see those two articles.

There will absolutely be no problem.

He would never let Xu Tian see it, no matter what.

So he stood directly in front of Xu Tian.

He said in a cold tone, "Lord Xu, I hope you can treat your students fairly and not treat these children differently."
