The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 793

Even after the meal, they were still discussing some things.

Just as Li You was getting to the point, one of the ministers suddenly let out a wail.

Several ministers had already bid farewell to Li You and left his house with mournful cries.

Li You sensed something was amiss and quickly summoned his men, who then ordered them to investigate.

Finally, his men arrested everyone in the kitchen.

"What exactly happened? You should explain it clearly to the prince."

Li You strode directly to those people.

He gave those people a cold look.

The head chef had already knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, we really don't know what happened."

Li You thought of these people, who were all old-timers in the mansion.

They shouldn't have done something like that.

"Check it for me."

He roared and ordered the doctor he had summoned to quickly examine the food.

The doctor discovered that laxatives had been added to the food.

"Your Highness, these foods contain arsenic."

Upon hearing this, Li You slammed his hand on the table.

He was furious.

You know, there was one time when he was already certain of victory.

But unexpectedly, because someone put poison in the food, all the ministers ran away.

Moreover, it would be very difficult to bring them together again.

This time, he did a thankless job.

Perhaps those ministers even thought he had poisoned their food.

He ordered his subordinates to investigate immediately.

"Investigate for me, and whoever it is, kill them without mercy."

He will absolutely not let that person get away with it.

They even suspected that the person was a spy sent by Li Chengqian.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

No one would know that he was recruiting ministers in his mansion.

But unexpectedly, someone has now put drugs in his food.

That means that people will find out about this.

Then he must be extremely careful now.

Xu Tian and Li Chengqian quickly escaped and returned to the palace.

"If Li You can't win over those ministers this time, what about tomorrow? Or the day after?"

Li Chengqian said worriedly.

He really didn't want to turn against his brothers.

But under imperial power, what father-son affection is there?

Someone like Li You wouldn't care about anyone, right?

Xu Tian also seemed somewhat helpless.

He originally did not want to get involved in these people's conflict.

But he never expected that he would be completely involved now.

No matter who he's close to, he'll become the target of that other person's attacks.

The next day.

Li Er was reported to be critically ill again.

The court officials were all discussing it.

Moreover, this is the time when they need to choose a wise ruler.

They believed that the crown prince was the popular choice.

However, the Emperor had already intended to establish a crown prince.

Perhaps he has the same thought now.

There was no such thing; they wanted the crown prince to ascend the throne.

The princes also gathered in the palace and discussed the matter.

Among all the princes, Li You always believed himself to be the most outstanding.

In addition, he currently has a group of people under his command.
