The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 836

Li Chengqian insisted on his position.

We must not allow them to do whatever they want.

"In short, you have to agree today whether you like it or not."

“My cousin must come to the imperial court.”

Li Chengqian looked at Li You's audacity.

He felt somewhat powerless to do anything about it.

He knew that they couldn't control Li You at all now.

The two brothers argued endlessly about this matter.

Li Chengqian suspected Hu Qin's identity.

But Li You remained certain.

"What do you suspect? That's my cousin, my maternal uncle's son."

"He's under my command now, so why should you be in charge?"

"Li Chengqian, don't push your luck. I'm giving you face now, but don't think that just because you've become regent, you can actually sit on that throne."

"Let me tell you, with your limited abilities, you really don't have the capacity to reach that position."

As soon as Hu Qin arrived, Xu Tian recognized him as Hu Qin.

Even though Li You kept defending him.

"I didn't expect Your Highness to return so soon." Xu Tian stepped forward and stood in front of Hu Qin.

Hu Qin did not admit that he was the Prince of Zhenbei.

"My lord, you have mistaken me for someone else. My name is Hua Ying. I am fortunate to be the Fifth Prince's distant cousin, which is why I was promoted ahead of schedule."

Xu Tian snorted coldly.

He wouldn't listen to this person's nonsense.

Xu Tian's lips twitched.

He simply couldn't believe that this person could keep acting like this forever.

then.

He immediately requested permission to leave the palace.

“Pine nuts, I didn’t know last time, who told me about them?”

"Does Hu Qin have a fiancée named Xue Ling?"

Songren scratched his head.

He gave a silly laugh.

"Why did Your Highness suddenly ask this question?"

"However, I seem to have heard about it as well, and I happen to know where that girl lives?"

A smile appeared on Xu Tian's lips.

He simply couldn't believe that Hu Qin would remain calm this time.

He directly beckoned Songren to come closer.

After saying a few words to him, Songren left immediately.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian and Li You also parted on bad terms.

Neither of them was willing to back down.

Li You wanted his cousin to become the Minister of Rites.

The former Minister of Rites was demoted for embezzlement and bribery.

This position is perfectly unsupported.

Therefore, he wanted Hu Qin to be promoted without any special consideration.

Li Chengqian could never agree to that.

He stated directly that he had no say in the matter.

Li You, however, refused to comply.

"If you are not capable of serving as regent, you can relinquish the position and let someone else take it."

"It can be said that any prince below you could do this job."

Li You looked down on Li Chengqian.

Every time he speaks, his words are laced with sarcasm.

Li Chengqian suspected Hu Qin's identity.

Hu Qin gritted her teeth and refused to admit it.

The following morning at court, Li You again used this matter as a threat.

In the imperial court, several ministers were his men.

Everyone is on his side.

No matter what he said, the ministers would agree with him.

"Regardless of the position, it should be held by the most capable person."

“Your Excellency, since Lady Huaying has the ability, Your Excellency can naturally agree to this matter.”

Li Chengqian snorted coldly.

Xu Tian gave him a look, signaling him to hold back for now.
