The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 568

"We beg Your Majesty to set new exam questions."

Li Er had already noticed something amiss.

Now Xu Tian is saying the same thing.

He'll sense that something's wrong.

He didn't set any test questions; instead, he gave the order directly.

"Tomorrow at the morning court session, let these two students compete directly in front of the palace!"

Upon hearing this news, the prime minister was completely stunned.

Although the other officials were unaware, he himself knew the truth.

The one being criticized was his own son.

The Grand Tutor's son was not only not criticized, but was also praised.

The two are completely opposite.

So if this were a real imperial examination, his son would have absolutely no chance.

But it was too late for him to object.

Xu Tian said frankly, "The imperial examination is much better than setting questions directly, and the two students will no longer be intimidated even when facing the biggest competition."

"Therefore, taking the exam in the palace is the most suitable option."

Xu Tian cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

I completely agree with Li Er's statement.

The incident of the exam papers being switched occurred because the case files were presented to the emperor.

But soon.

Xu Tian then said, "After all, they are just two children, and it's not time for the official competition yet. Why don't you, Your Majesty, personally supervise them in the Imperial Study?"

He felt that if this were the case, it would be as if the prime minister's son had spoken.

That way, we won't lose too much face.

After all, only the Emperor knew.

Upon hearing Xu Tian's suggestion, the Emperor agreed without even hesitating.

"Okay! Just do as you say, Xu Aiqing."

After Li Er uttered these words, he immediately ordered the court officials to adjourn.

After the officials left the main hall, they began to discuss the matter animatedly.

"Your Excellency, I truly did not expect that your son would actually be praised by His Majesty?"

The one who said this was the Minister of War, who showed absolutely no mercy to the Prime Minister.

His tone was full of disdain.

The prime minister snorted coldly.

He looked towards Xu Tian's direction.

He was extremely dissatisfied with Xu Tian's performance this time.

He had clearly given Xu Tian the cold shoulder many times.

But he still insisted on doing it.

He knew perfectly well that his son couldn't possibly write such good articles.

Do you really have to make him write these articles and lose to the son of the Grand Tutor?

He was completely unhappy.

Looking at Xu Tian, ​​I really wanted to go up to him and demand an explanation.

But right now, they haven't shaken off this big bad wolf yet.

He said fiercely, "Minister of War, don't think you're so great. You're just better at fighting than me."

Upon hearing the prime minister's merciless words, the Minister of War immediately flew into a rage.

This guy completely looks down on him.

"Your Excellency, if you're not convinced, when shall we have a contest? Let's see who's better."

Why would a prime minister like to compare himself to others? Besides, his son is currently in the eye of the storm.

He wouldn't really pay any attention to the Minister of War.

This guy was clearly using reverse psychology on him.

He thought he was really stupid.

Can't you see anything?

If the prime minister refused to accept the offer, the minister of war had no choice but to give up.

They flicked their sleeves and turned to leave in two different directions.

At this moment, Grand Tutor and Xu Tian came up.

The Grand Tutor was unaware of the switch.

But I had my doubts about it.
