The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 599

Xu Tianhe and the envoy had a discussion.

The envoy from the Northern Zhou Dynasty held Xu Tian in even higher esteem.

He also said, "After you take me back, Your Majesty will definitely send several students here to study."

Xu Tian was very happy and nodded directly.

"it is good!"

This can be considered a way to promote relations between countries.

Just as they were having a pleasant conversation, Guo Zijian walked up.

Although he had already had two drinks and had just gone for a walk, he was already sober again.

I no longer feel that drowsy feeling I had before.

He still looked disdainful when he saw Xu Tian.

Just when everyone was thinking about how to improve the relationship.

Guo Zijian offered a few suggestions, and in the end, everyone agreed that his suggestion was good.

Then, Guo Zijian made another suggestion.

"Since we're having such a good time today, how about we play a drinking game? What do you all think?"

Everyone was in high spirits and readily agreed.

Xu Tian simply gave Guo Zijian a deep look.

He had no idea why they suddenly proposed a drinking game.

However, he did not doubt it further.

The ministers all agreed, so he naturally had no objections.

Guo Zijian turned to him and asked, "I wonder if Lord Xu would be willing to participate?"

Xu Tian nodded directly and replied, "Of course."

Guo Zijian was overjoyed when he saw Xu Tian nod.

This is exactly the result he wanted. He'll teach Xu Tian a lesson in a moment.

We must humiliate him in front of the Northern Zhou envoys.

Then he'd like to see how Xu Tian would handle the situation.

He simply couldn't believe that after losing face in front of the Northern Zhou envoys, Li Er could still trust him as before.

Although he agreed to Guo Zijian's request, Xu Tian still felt somewhat uneasy.

He always felt that Guo Zijian seemed to have a prejudice against him, but he didn't think it was a big deal.

During the drinking game, Guo Zijian raised a question.

They were deliberately trying to make things difficult for Xu Tian.

"I wonder, Lord Xu, are you aware that there are always reports of epidemics along the city's defensive canal? Is there any solution?"

Everyone knows Xu Tian is smart, so let him be smart!

He wanted to see how Xu Tian would solve this problem.

You should know that this matter has been troubling the border town for a long time.

Moreover, the soldiers in those border towns were constantly trying to come up with a solution.

Most importantly, none of them dared to come up with a solution on their own.

Because if they said they had found a way, they would anger the soldiers in the border town.

Xu Tian had never heard of this matter, nor did he know where Guo Zijian had gotten the inside scoop.

However, he was certain that if he were to reveal a solution to this matter...

Choosing a person will offend some people.

But if he doesn't speak out, then in this situation, it's not just him who will lose face, but the entire Great Tang Dynasty.

He said directly, "Although I don't know exactly what the situation is now, I do have a solution."

When Xu Tian said he had a solution, everyone perked up their ears.

Yes, Li Er, who had been worried about this matter, was overjoyed.

However, a hint of worry then appeared in his mind.

Xu Tian asked directly, "Are there any plants or trees outside the Imperial River?"
