The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 661

The prime minister believed that the matter was now completely resolved because he had killed that person.

Xu Tian could not find any evidence to prove that the person was himself.

He would also do his best to keep Xu Tian there.

As long as Xu Tian doesn't return, this matter will remain unresolved.

He would absolutely not let Li Er know about this.

Xu Tian was extremely stressed about this case.

Every day, I spend my time in the government office looking at things related to this case.

Although the people's fields have been restored.

No one bothered him anymore.

However, Xu Tian has been searching for the culprit who deliberately caused trouble.

We couldn't find any clues from Da Rong either.

And the other side.

In the imperial court, Cheng Yaojin ordered Li Er to summon Xu Tian back.

"Your Majesty, Xu Tian has been in the south for some time now, and the disaster situation has stabilized."

“There is absolutely no reason for him to stay there.”

They were all aware of Xu Tian's experiences over there.

There is suspicion that someone is deliberately causing trouble.

However, there is no evidence.

The prime minister was immediately displeased when he heard Cheng Yaojin say that.

But the expression on his face quickly vanished.

"Your Majesty, no, no!"

"Has His Majesty not heard the rumors spread by the people?"

Li Er looked completely bewildered.

"What rumors are circulating?"

"People of the South, Lord Xu is now a saint."

Li Er was surprised.

"Oh! Such a thing actually happened?"

Living deep within the palace, he naturally wouldn't know these things.

Upon hearing the prime minister's words, he completely believed it.

"His Majesty is unaware of Lord Xu's character; he is revered wherever he goes."

When the prime minister saw that Li Er was moved, he began to shower him with compliments.

"Your Majesty, you do not know, but the people in the south now regard Xu Tian as a god."

"You don't know, do you? The position of county magistrate was obtained by the people begging him to take it."

Li Er had heard of this matter.

He just didn't know that this was the truth.

"Xu Tian is a rare talent! We can wait until he improves that place before he comes back."

"I have also heard that not only are the people in the south impoverished, but there are also many scholars there. However..."

"But what? Prime Minister, please speak freely."

The prime minister clasped his hands in greeting.

"I have heard that many families have very intelligent children, but they do not have the money to pay for their tuition."

"And they basically can't build schools there."

"The schools that were built were so expensive that no one dared to go to school."

"Instead of going up the mountain, we should leave Xu Tian there for a while, change the environment and everything there, and then come back."

Li Er felt that what the prime minister said made a lot of sense.

Nodding, he said, "The Prime Minister is right. Since Xu Tian can change the environment there, let him stay there for a while, and then recall him after everything has improved."

Cheng Yaojin felt that this matter was inappropriate.

I would like to discuss this with His Majesty.

But His Majesty has already made his decision.

"That's settled then, no one should say anything more."

His Majesty's meaning was quite clear: he wanted Cheng Yaojin to stop worrying about it.

The Emperor also said directly to Cheng Yaojin: "Xu Tian is intelligent and talented, and his learning is unmatched."

"Now, let him go to the south. Cheng Yaojin, don't bother him. Let the male lead make his name there."

Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to obey.

However, he felt uncomfortable with the prime minister.

They felt that the prime minister was doing it on purpose; he didn't want Xu Tian to come back.

However, there is no evidence to prove it.

He also could not falsely accuse the prime minister in front of Li Er.

However, Cheng Yaojin wanted to retaliate against the prime minister.
