The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 795

Li You simply scoffed and gave a cold snort.

"I don't believe you're really that concerned."

He stopped speaking before he could finish.

Realizing he had said something inappropriate, he then added, "They're just a bunch of hypocrites."

He simply did not believe that these princes truly cared about the emperor.

However, saying this would make people think that he, too, wanted the emperor to die.

He quickly composed himself upon hearing this.

"What's the point of all of you gathering here? Do you think it will help Father recover sooner?"

Li You looked at these people with a sly glint in his eyes.

After this incident, Xu Tian understood even more clearly that Li You was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

He probably hates him now.

Xu Tian was sitting alone in his study, holding a thick stack of files in his hand.

"Your Highness!" Songren walked in from outside, and Xiaosong bowed.

Xu Tian didn't even lift his eyelids; he simply replied, "What is it?"

"Your Highness, I've heard that the General Who Protects the Nation is about to return to the palace!"

Xu Tian felt a moment of excitement upon hearing the name of the General Who Protects the Nation.

In truth, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

This time, General Zhenguo returned because Li Er was seriously ill.

Moreover, he has already pacified the border regions.

The General of the State rushed back from the frontier.

Upon learning the news, Li You paced back and forth in his room.

"This General Zhenguo is stronger than the other generals, and he is also a person who can speak for himself in the court."

Li You felt it was necessary to win over this general.

And it is very necessary.

Now, anyone who has any value to him is irrelevant.

He would do anything to win them over.

He is now unable to win over Xu Tian.

It's just that Xu Tian is far too stubborn.

For those ministers he couldn't win over, he had no choice but to kill them.

Xu Tian had prepared everything and was just waiting for the General Zhenguo to return home.

The following day, Li You went directly to line the street to welcome them.

The entire city's population came out to welcome the triumphant return of the General Who Protects the Nation.

Li Youdu stood at the very front of the crowd.

"Welcome back to the country, General Zhenguo."

Li You went to great lengths this time, even putting up a horizontal scroll, but the General of the State completely ignored him after entering the city.

He showed no respect to Li You and went directly to the palace to visit Li Er.

Li You was furious when he saw that the General Zhenguo was completely ignoring him.

"What is this? Does it think it's some big shot? Once I ascend the throne, the first thing I'll do is kill you."

He finished speaking in a low, menacing voice, then turned and left.

Upon returning to the prince's residence, he was even more enraged and smashed everything on the table onto the ground.

"Xu Tian, ​​it must have been you who did it! You must have tipped me off beforehand. Don't fall into my hands, or I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

Li You looked annoyed, even vicious.

When Xu Tian heard that the General Zhenguo had returned to the country, he went out to greet him after he had finished packing.

"Your Highness, I heard that the Fifth Prince came here to welcome the General a long time ago."

Song Ren came up and reminded Xu Tian.

Xu Tian just smiled slightly. How could he not know? Li You would definitely try to sneak in whenever he had the chance.

Everyone wants to win him over, let alone the General Who Protects the Nation.

He would definitely want to win him over.

After all, given the current strength of the General Zhenguo, he must have thought that if he won him over, all the other generals could become his right-hand men.

Xu Tian didn't take it seriously.

He led a group of soldiers out to greet them.
