The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 983

Li Yuan spoke sarcastically about Xu Tian.

The Grand Tutor stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Although the Prince no longer serves in the court, he is still a prince appointed by the Emperor."

“Even a prince who is not in a position of power can enter the court and participate in the morning court session. Throughout history, no one has ever prohibited this.”

Now, Xu Tian has no idea who the person who forged the imperial edict is.

He needs to stay calm now.

Although he didn't know who that person was, he suspected it must be one of the princes.

The struggle for the throne is now incredibly fierce.

All the princes wanted to ascend to that position.

Their natural goal was to defeat the other princes.

Only in this way can one become a person in a high position.

Xu Tian, ​​using the empty title of a leisurely prince, entered the morning court and directly addressed the matter of forging the imperial edict.

All the ministers were shocked when they heard this!

"What? Such a thing actually happened?"

"Who did this?"

"How would Xu Tian know about this? Hasn't he retired from officialdom?"

"Although Xu Tian does not serve as an official in the imperial court, he still holds the title of Prince."

"No one can erase his title!"

"That's true. Even if Xu Tian no longer serves as an official in the court, he will always be the most trusted minister in the Emperor's heart."

"But then again, who has the audacity to forge an imperial edict, even one that has already been passed down..."

Some ministers began to discuss the matter, but at this point, they couldn't continue.

Even though His Majesty is now terminally ill, this is something these ministers would never dare to bring up.

Their conversation went straight to Xu Tian.

No one knew who was actually forging the imperial edict. However, since Xu Tian was talking about it, they assumed it was a sure thing and the truth would soon come out.

When Xu Tian brought up this matter, the four regents began to discuss it further.

In the end, the group said, "Since such a thing has happened, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and we must not let the person who falsely conveyed the imperial edict get away with it."

His Majesty has not yet passed away, but some people are already disregarding him.

Someone actually dared to falsely convey an imperial edict at this time.

Some ministers directly pointed the finger at the prince.

But no one dared to actually say it.

I could only bury this doubt in my heart.

Li Yuan heard Xu Tian mention this matter in court, and that the ministers had also indicated they would investigate the matter thoroughly.

He was afraid that his deeds would be exposed, and worried that if his forgery of the imperial edict were revealed, he would suffer a great loss.

So he came up with a solution.

After the court session, he tricked the young eunuch into coming out by pretending to pay the final payment.

In an alley on a corner of Chang'an Street, he directly killed the eunuch in the Imperial Study who was cooperating with him.

Only when the sole person who knows the truth dies will the matter be resolved.

No third person will ever know about this.

Surely he wouldn't tell anyone about it himself?

As he left, he deliberately looked around.

He even threw the dagger that had killed the little eunuch aside.

However, this matter was quickly exposed on Chang'an Avenue.

The deceased was discovered by a civilian.
