The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 982

However, he would absolutely not allow Li Zhi to leave Chang'an for the time being.

That's how you fall into someone's trap.

He couldn't figure out who that person was.

Emperor Taizong was seriously ill, and a highly respected minister was appointed to oversee the state affairs in the court.

The matter of Li Zhi being granted the title of prince had already been discussed at the morning court session.

Many people feel that something is not right about this.

Previously, Li Er had always been very attentive to Li Zhi, so why is Li Zhi the first one to be granted the title of king?

This was something that all the ministers suspected.

But despite their suspicions, no one dared to point them out.

The imperial court today is no longer the same as it used to be.

They had to be extremely careful in everything they did, living each day as if walking on thin ice.

Within the imperial city, things are ever-changing!

They also didn't know who the new masters would be in the future.

Therefore, they dared not easily offend any prince who might inherit the throne.

Xu Tian returned to his residence.

Regarding the matter of Li Zhi being granted the title of prince, he summoned the Grand Tutor to his home.

"How could His Majesty possibly bestow the title of King upon the Ninth Prince at this time? Could it be that someone has forged an imperial edict?"

Upon hearing the Grand Tutor's words, he glanced around immediately, wondering what he meant by "walls have ears."

Xu Tian nodded.

"Therefore, this matter must be told to the regents. These matters must be investigated by them."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the Grand Tutor also felt that what he said made perfect sense.

"Now, all matters in the court are being handled by several regents."

"If someone really dares to forge an imperial edict, this matter must be handled by the regents."

Xu Tian believes that is also true.

The two then discussed it and quickly passed the information up.

Xu Tian is no longer a court official, making it extremely difficult for him to enter the palace.

He told the Grand Tutor about this, hoping that the Grand Tutor would take him into the court faction.

This will save you a lot of trouble.

Grand Tutor Bie already knew the truth about this matter.

They all knew that Li Er was doomed this time.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to say it aloud.

But my mind was perfectly clear.

"No matter what, His Majesty would never grant the Ninth Prince the title of king at this crucial moment."

Just then, Li Zhi came in from outside and overheard the conversation between the Grand Tutor and Xu Tian. Li Zhi also felt that there was something fishy about the matter.

Despite having so many pretexts, they only appointed him as king.

He also felt that this matter was strange, but because it was the emperor's decree, he did not object to it despite his strangeness.

Do you think it's the same no matter where you go?

He had no interest in the throne, so naturally he wouldn't compete with them for it.

Leaving the capital was also a form of protection for him.

"Master, tomorrow is the day we set off, and I have come here specifically to say goodbye!"

Xu Tian frowned upon hearing this.

"Didn't I already tell you before that I asked you to postpone your departure?"

Li Zhi looked somewhat troubled after hearing Xu Tian's words.

"The date on the imperial edict is tomorrow, so..."

Upon hearing Li Zhi's words, Xu Tian frowned deeply once again.

"No matter what, we must stall for time. Now is not the time to leave."

The next morning, Xu Tian and the Grand Tutor entered the palace together.

When Li Yuan and the others saw Xu Tian, ​​they said bluntly, "Xu Tian, ​​you are now a commoner, how can you still attend the morning court session?"
