The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 746

"The imperial physicians have already declared that His Majesty's illness is incurable."

This means that the emperor has been sentenced to death.

Everyone thought he was dead.

If they don't take sides at this point, then if the Third Prince really ascends the throne...

They won't get any benefits.

Xu Tian snorted coldly.

"Lord Wu, you are truly a loyal and patriotic minister!"

Wu Long was startled.

"Xu Tian, ​​you're just a prince who was granted a title, yet you actually act like one."

"Let me tell you, you have to stand on the sidelines today, whether you want to or not."

"If you don't stand on the Third Prince's side today, you'll only bring disaster upon yourself!"

Upon hearing the minister's words, Xu Tian merely gave a cold snort.

He has never been afraid of any powerful authority.

These people, these so-called teams, they probably don't even know.

If one day Li Tai is indeed placed on the throne by them, they will be the first to die.

Xu Tian felt a deep sympathy for this minister.

No, he felt that all this so-called sympathy was somewhat superfluous.

He gave the minister a disdainful look.

Just as the minister was about to lose his temper, a eunuch from Li Er's side came to summon Xu Tian to Li Er's bedside.

The eunuch led Xu Tian into Li Er's room.

Xu Tian bowed and stepped aside.

But then they heard footsteps coming from inside.

After that, Li Er came out from behind the screen.

Xu Tian looked shocked, but then a smile appeared on his face.

He knew this matter wasn't so simple.

How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly fall ill?

And it was the kind of illness that left them unable to recover.

Li Er looked perfectly healthy, without any signs of illness.

"Father!"

Li Er smiled.

"Aren't you also quite surprised? I simply wanted to see the true colors of those people in the court."

"Those people shout about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism all day long. I'd really like to see how loyal they actually are."

But as it turns out, now that he has also announced that he is seriously ill, those people have already revealed their true colors.

All the ministers began searching for their new masters, fearing that after the emperor's death, they might have chosen the wrong side and brought about their own demise.

Li Er smiled, his hands behind his back, standing in front of Xu Tian, ​​his back view appearing somewhat desolate.

She turned to look at Xu Tian.

"I heard what those people said in court today. It really is true that once people leave, the tea cools; and people's hearts are hard to fathom!"

Xu Tian cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Li Er turned around and looked at Xu Tian with a kind expression.

This kind old man before them had now seen through not only the faces of his ministers, but also the heart of his own son.

"Li Tai's wolfish ambitions are now blatantly obvious. He has always coveted the position of Crown Prince, while I have not yet appointed one. Now that he has heard of my serious illness, he is probably already impatient to do so."

"My feigned illness this time is nothing more than an attempt to find out which princes have rebellious intentions and which ministers want to change the ruler."

Xu Tian finally understood why Li Er, who had been perfectly healthy, had suddenly become critically ill.
