The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 696

I thought about how I could sow discord between the two of them.

Let them fight.

Then they can sit back and reap the benefits.

Wouldn't that be great?

After learning that Guo Zijian had finished his get out of class, Li Tai went to his office.

"The headmaster really knows how to teach the children! But I've heard that quite a few students from the Imperial Academy have left; they seem to have all gone to Xu Tian's academy!"

Guo Zijian was initially very polite when he saw Li Tai arrive.

But now, hearing his tone...

They're just looking for trouble.

"Chief Supervisor, are you truly willing to fall behind Xu Tian?"

"Who is Xu Tian? Are you really willing to fall behind others?"

Guo Zijian admired Xu Tiancai's talent, and when he heard Li Tai say that, he simply smiled.

He then said, "Lord Xu's talent is so great that it's hard to find anyone in the entire country who surpasses him."

"After falling behind him, I didn't feel ashamed at all."

"The students at the Imperial College were willing to study under him, which shows that he has his advantages."

Upon hearing Guo Zijian's words, Li Tai's face instantly contorted with rage.

He never expected that Guo Zijian would speak up for Xu Tian.

They were meant to be adversaries from the start.

Did he mishear all that before?

Guo Zijian didn't think much of Xu Tian at all.

But unexpectedly, he now admires Xu Tian.

This is something he simply cannot accept.

He now wants not only to kill Xu Tian, ​​but also to completely ruin his reputation.

Only then can he quell the hatred in his heart.

Li Tai heard Guo Zijian finish saying this series of words.

He was filled with resentment.

"Guo Zijian, you, the director of the Imperial Academy, actually boost the morale of others while diminishing your own prestige."

“You are not fit to be the head of the Imperial Academy. I order you to leave here right now.”

"Now, the Imperial Academy is under the control of Prince Youben."

Li Tai directly demanded to take over the Imperial College.

Guo Zijian dared not speak out against him, even though he was a certain kind of person.

Since Li Tai said he wanted to take over the Imperial Academy, he should just go and resign in front of Li Er.

At worst, he can quit; he'll just stay in the position of warden.

When Li Er heard that Guo Zijian was going to resign, he inquired about it, and Guo Zijian only said that he was not competent for the position at present.

He didn't dare say that Li Tai wanted to take his position.

After all, Li Tai was Li Er's own son.

Guo Zijian dared not offend Li Tai at all.

They had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Li Tai was already at odds with Xu Tian.

After he took over the Imperial Academy.

The Imperial College (Guozijian) is open to the public free of charge, accepting students of any status.

This move won widespread praise and became a hot topic of discussion.

"What? No way? The Imperial Academy used to only admit members of the imperial family!"

"Why are people accepting of just anyone these days?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't anyone be able to enter the Imperial Academy to study?"

"That's right, that's right, that used to be a place everyone longed for."

Upon hearing about this, Yu Shu went to find Xu Tian after school.

"Teacher, I have heard that the prince has now taken control of the Imperial Academy, and he has announced that the Imperial Academy is open to all kinds of people to study."

"Moreover, the students know that several of our classmates have parents who want them to study at the Imperial College."

Xu Tianyue knew exactly what Yu Shu was saying.

It's just those few students who started asking for leave.

They initially asked for leave, probably to go to the Imperial College to work their way up first!

Today he also learned that those students had stopped coming to the academy altogether.

Moreover, their parents have already sent him letters, implying that their children will no longer attend the academy.

"Teacher, please think of a solution quickly! If this continues, many of our students will be poached."
