The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 787

Li You's opposition to tax cuts was merely a tactic aimed at Li Chengqian.

He didn't like the crown prince in the first place.

Because Li Er wanted to depose him for a time, he then put him in charge of the country again.

He now feels that this crown prince is the stumbling block on his path to the throne.

They believed that what Li Er was saying was simply to protect the Crown Prince.

But no matter who it is, he absolutely cannot let them live well.

Thus, his throne is in jeopardy.

I heard what Li You said.

These ministers dared not say anything.

After all, this was a fight between the two brothers.

The ministers could only watch as the two princes engaged in open and covert power struggles.

No one knows who will ultimately sit on the throne.

Therefore, it is too early for them to offend these princes.

We can only sit back and watch the tigers fight.

Xu Tian did not get involved among them.

Like these ministers, he adopted an attitude of indifference.

Only in this way can we remain safe and sound.

The next day.

When foreign envoys came to pay their respects, Li Er was instructed to have Li Chengqian receive them on his behalf.

Li You was also very unhappy about this.

But he dared not show it.

After all, Li Chengqian is currently the regent.

Even if he was 100 times unwilling, he had to accept it.

Xu Tian could tell that Li You was unhappy about this matter.

However, it has little to do with him; Li You wants to bring Li Chengqian down!

As long as it doesn't affect any national affairs, Xu Tian also felt it was harmless.

Xu Tianshou was ordered to personally go out of the city to welcome him.

Foreign envoys, however, were very dissatisfied with their attitude.

"I never expected that your court would send such a royally bestowed king to greet us!"

He believed that they should be greeted by a prince.

But to my surprise, it turned out to be the emperor's adopted son.

He seemed very angry.

Xu Tian didn't say much.

They were welcomed directly into the palace.

The imperial court held a banquet.

The officials attended the banquet.

The foreign envoys began to comment on the dishes on the table.

"What kind of leftovers are these? How can they be so disgusting? Do you important figures eat this every day? If I stay here in your Great Tang Dynasty, won't I starve to death?"

He slammed down his chopsticks and stood up.

These ministers all became very cautious.

They didn't think the food was that bad.

These were all made by their imperial chefs; ordinary people couldn't even dream of eating them. Even these officials could only enjoy such delicacies at royal banquets.

Unexpectedly, the foreign envoy didn't even look down on the food.

He even commented on the food.

He believed that their food was all leftovers.

This made the ministers very unhappy.

But no one dared to step forward and speak.

Xu Tian frowned and then said a few words to the guard beside him.

He then followed several guards into the imperial kitchen.

Inside the imperial kitchen.

The imperial chefs inside saw Xu Tian walk in.

They all looked shocked.

They knew each other.

Do it
