The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 733

Xu Tian scoffed, "Your Highness, have you forgotten? His Majesty has already bestowed upon me the title of Prince of the County. By all accounts, I should be of equal status with Your Highness!"

"Does Your Highness think I should kneel before you?"

Li Yu hadn't expected that Xu Tian would use this layer as collateral to bet on him.

His title of Prince was merely bestowed upon him by imperial decree.

How could it compare to one's own status?

Li Yu was naturally quite displeased.

He himself was a legitimate prince, while the one in front of him was just getting a bargain.

He believed that Xu Tian should kneel down before him.

"It seems that Lord Xu has long forgotten his own identity."

"His Majesty bestowed upon you the title of king, but that's just giving you too much credit. You actually think you're a king? That's utterly absurd."

"All the princes of my Great Tang Dynasty have the surname Li. Do you also have the surname Li?"

Li Yu was already red-faced and furious.

Xu Tian stopped talking about this identity.

If you try to speak to Li Yu, you will get a strong rebuttal from him.

Eventually, it even escalated to the point where arguments would break out at the slightest disagreement.

Xu Tian directly revealed that the person had impersonated a commoner and embezzled government funds.

Li Yu didn't take this matter seriously at all.

"I advise Xu Tian not to interfere in my affairs, or I will make sure you suffer the consequences."

Xu Tian gave a cold laugh.

"Since Your Highness has committed an illegal act, I will take charge of this matter."

"Trying to swindle money from me is simply a pipe dream."

"Your Highness, you should have disciplined your men long ago, making them more efficient and decisive in their work. They should be a little stricter and more rigorous in their execution."

"That way I won't be able to find any fault with it."

"However, I think, Prince Yu, your subordinates, no matter how high-ranking they are, can't be that high-ranking."

"If I had a subordinate like that, I would have kicked him away long ago and gotten rid of him."

"You still treat them like precious treasures."

Li Yu heard Xu Tian belittle his subordinate in this way.

In short, there was a hidden meaning in his words.

To put it bluntly, it's about belittling oneself.

The more Li Yu looked at Xu Tian, ​​the more displeased she became; the more she listened to him speak, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Xu Tian finally blurted out, "Your Highness, not only did you commit such an impersonation, but you also sent people to seize farmers' fertile land."

"Tell me, if this matter were to reach His Majesty's ears, I wonder how he would handle it."

Li Yu was shocked and had no idea that Xu Tian would catch her doing those things.

But he quickly calmed down.

So what if he knows those things? Does Xu Tian have any evidence?

"Xu Tian, ​​you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. What evidence do you have to prove that I did those things?"

"Evidence is required at all times and in all matters. If you have no evidence, I can accuse you of false accusation before His Majesty."

Xu Tian simply found a chair and sat down.

"If Your Highness wants evidence, I can give it to you anytime. How much evidence do you want? Even all of it, I have it all."

Li Yu never expected that Xu Tian would actually seize those pieces of evidence.

And they even claimed to have all the evidence.

He immediately softened.

In order to retrieve the evidence and soften his stance.

“Your Highness, look at yourself. I am a prince, a member of the royal family.”

"If this were to get out, and people said we were at odds, wouldn't we become a laughingstock to the whole world?"

"Look, look, you can take anything from this mansion that's been used to help me."

"Even if we're talking about status, you're still my nephew!"

"What nephew would hold a grudge against his uncle?"

He is now desperately trying to make peace with Xu Tian.
