The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 598

The prime minister smiled slightly.

"Seeing how close Xu Tian was to the envoy, I don't believe that the supervisor has no thoughts at all."

Guo Zijian certainly had his own thoughts, but even if he did, what could he do?

They were high-ranking envoys, yet they didn't even glance at him.

It's the kind of thing where they completely ignore him.

But the way they were so warm and friendly with Xu Tian was like that of long-lost friends.

The prime minister looked at Guo Zijian and knew that if he said just a few words to him, Guo might be tempted to deal with Xu Tian.

"Chief Supervisor, I do have a way to make Xu Tian lose face in front of the Northern Zhou envoys."

He looked at Guo Zijian and asked, "I wonder if the warden would be willing to do it?"

Guo Zijian's expression darkened.

Then I thought about the way Xu Tian interacted with that envoy.

He was suddenly overcome with jealousy.

The hand hidden inside the sleeve was clenched into a fist.

The shadows in his eyes held resentment towards Xu Tian.

"Does Your Excellency have any ideas?"

All he wants to do now is to embarrass Xu Tian in front of everyone.

Then he can show off his talents, and everyone's attention will be drawn back to him.

Even the envoy from the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the same.

He wanted to see who the true talent of the Tang Dynasty was when the time came.

Xu Tian is nothing but a smooth talker; he relies entirely on his words.

He felt that he had no real ability whatsoever.

Now that the prime minister had said this to him, he was even more inexplicably inclined to agree to the prime minister's request.

"Your Excellency, I know what to do. Thank you for your guidance."

After Guo Zijian finished speaking, he staggered away.

The prime minister stood still, watching Guo Zijian's retreating figure.

He could tell that Guo Zijian had completely listened to what he had to say.

"Xu Tian, ​​I'd like to see how you, who have offended the entire court, will maintain your position in my Great Tang Dynasty?"

I'm referring to the Imperial Academy, even those around the current prime minister.

Which one of them doesn't want to deal with Xu Tian?

Xu Tian is now the target of public criticism.

There's nothing to fear, as long as Guo Zijian succeeds this time.

They could easily kick Xu Tian out of the game.

Not to mention his current academy, even the academy he founded before will be removed from the capital.

Thinking of this, the prime minister felt even more pleased.

He wanted to completely kick Xu Tian out of the game so that he could quell his hatred.

"What's the Prime Minister doing there?"

Not far away, the Grand Tutor and another official stood together, their expressions strange when they saw the Prime Minister standing there.

The minister said to the Grand Tutor, "Supervisor Guo just left from there. They seemed to know each other quite well."

The Grand Tutor trusted Guo Zijian implicitly.

But seeing him with the prime minister, he felt a little strange.

He said directly to the adult next to him, "I guess the time made the gentleman drink too much. I think he had a few extra drinks tonight. It's alright, let's go inside first!"

After saying that, the two of them followed the others inside.

The Grand Tutor entered the main hall, and his seat was right in front of Xu Tian.

Moreover, the Grand Tutor was well aware of the conflict between Xu Tian and the Prime Minister.

Now, even among the entire court, this matter is common knowledge.

The Grand Tutor's faction generally supports Xu Tian.

Because his so-called subject was incredibly beneficial to them.

"Lord Xu, I'll be staying here for a few more days. I wonder if I could learn a little bit of your science?"

The Northern Zhou envoy raised his wine cup and politely asked Xu Tian...

Xu Tian nodded, "Of course, with your wisdom, Your Excellency, you will surely be able to learn some of the principles within a few days."
