The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 901

Li Er agreed to Xu Tian's resignation.

When the Grand Tutor learned of this, he was deeply saddened.

He found Xu Tian and had a long talk with him in his study for two hours.

"The officialdom these days is indeed not as good as it used to be."

"The princes are all vying for power, each wanting to become the emperor. However, they don't understand that everything depends on fate."

"As the saying goes, 'A man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!' It's a pity they don't understand."

The Grand Tutor had witnessed the vicissitudes of several dynasties, so naturally he knew more than others.

However, Xu Tian has now come to understand.

Although Li Er relied heavily on him, all the princes wanted him dead!

Xu Tian was a man who valued his life, and naturally did not want to die in the imperial city.

Even someone like him, a second-generation person, wouldn't want to die so mysteriously!

"There is really no place to stand in the capital now."

He said this with a hint of helplessness.

The Grand Tutor was actually quite clear about this in his heart.

Xu Tian has reached this point precisely because of the Emperor's high regard for him.

There's a saying that people fear becoming famous, and officials fear gaining influence.

Because he was highly regarded by the emperor, all the princes wanted to have him.

Isn't this just a cycle, an endless loop?

They wanted to use Xu Tian's position to consolidate their own.

However, Xu Tian is a stubborn person who is only willing to be loyal to one person.

So it's normal that those people wanted to kill him.

Since it's unusable, then kill it.

The Grand Tutor came to talk to him, but he didn't hear a single word of advice to stop him.

"Wasn't someone asked you to come and persuade me?"

Xu Tianwen.

The Grand Tutor smiled slightly.

He stroked his beard and said, "Since you already know, why ask?"

Xu Tian and he exchanged a smile.

After the Grand Tutor left, Xu Tian then had the steward come in.

"Since I am no longer an official, there is no point in keeping this mansion."

He looked at the palace where he had lived for quite some time.

They actually developed a little bit of affection for each other.

After all, we've already lived here and gotten used to it.

Since the Emperor himself hadn't said he wanted to take back the Prince's Mansion.

However, he felt that since he was no longer an official, he should consider this.

Although the Prince's mansion can be kept, it no longer needs so many servants to manage it.

The authority was directly delegated to the steward.

"Since I have decided to resign, summon all the servants to the courtyard. I am preparing to dismiss them."

The steward was greatly surprised when he learned that Xu Tian was not going to take up an official post.

But soon, he remembered all the things that had happened in the manor recently.

Isn't it all because their prince is an official in the capital?

Since becoming an official could cost me my life, I might as well not do it!

The steward summoned everyone in the mansion to the courtyard.

The lowest-ranking maids and servants came up to collect the money.

Xu Tian gave them a generous sum of money, almost enough to support them for the rest of their lives.

After expressing their gratitude, the maids and servants left the mansion.

As a result, the loyal guards and servants decided to follow Xu Tian.

The butler looked at Xu Tian with a pleading expression.

Xu Tian then took them all into his mansion.

Although he is no longer an official and has no spare money to support them.

But the good thing is that he can still find things to do.
