The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

The call from the palace: Fang Xuanling and Li Yun meet again

After Fang Xuanling returned safely from Li Shimin, although she was uneasy, she was temporarily able to breathe. Li Shimin seemed to focus entirely on Harley motorcycles, which allowed him to live a relatively stable life in the next three days. However, this calm did not last long. On this day, Fang Xuanling was summoned to the palace again.

When he entered the palace hall, his eyes fell on Li Yun. Li Yun, the seventh prince of the Tang Dynasty, was sitting quietly aside. His eyes were deep, as if there were countless stories hidden in them. Fang Xuanling stepped forward and saluted: "I have met the Seventh Prince."

Li Yun smiled slightly and responded: "Wei Guogong is polite." His voice was gentle and powerful, revealing the majesty of a royal family.

Fang Xuanling stood up straight, feeling a little confused. He didn't know why Li Shimin summoned the two of them this time. He glanced at Li Yun, trying to read some clues from his expression, but there was no other expression on Li Yun's face except calmness.

"By the way, Seventh Prince, do you know why His Majesty is looking for you?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask.

Li Yun shook his head and replied: "I don't know about this. Maybe my father just wants to ask me about technology."

science and technology? Fang Xuanling frowned slightly. He thought of the conversation he had with Li Shimin three days ago, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart. He suspected that Li Shimin's summons to Li Yun might be related to Lu Zhaolin's matter.

In the main hall of the palace, the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn. Fang Xuanling stood beside Li Yun, her heart full of confusion and speculation. He asked tentatively: "Seventh Prince, have you seen Lu Zhaolin recently?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Yun's eyes. He turned to look at Fang Xuanling, frowning slightly, as if he was trying to recall the name. After a moment, he slowly shook his head, with a trace of confusion in his tone: "Wei Guogong, who is Lu Zhaolin? I have never seen him. Who is this person, and why did you mention it suddenly?"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he became even more confused. He originally thought that at least Li Yun knew about Lu Zhaolin's affairs. After all, Lu Zhaolin was a talent personally recruited by Li Shimin and Li Min. But now it seems that Li Yun seems to know nothing about it. What the hell does this happen?

Various possibilities flashed through his mind, but none of them seemed very logical. As a talent valued by Li Shimin, Lu Zhaolin was also recruited by Li Min. It was impossible to disappear quietly, not even Li Yun knew about it. Unless... Fang Xuanling suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, Li Yun really knew nothing about this, or else he deliberately made it unclear, and then he couldn't help but feel nervous.

At this moment, Li Shimin's voice came from the other end of the hall, breaking their meditation: "Xuanling, Yun'er, you are here."

Fang Xuanling and Li Yun heard the news and went away, only to see Li Shimin walking out from behind the screen in the distance. His eyes swept over the two of them and finally fell on Fang Xuanling.

"Xuanling, you two come with me." Li Shimin's voice was calm and deep, without any emotion.

Fang Xuanling and Li Yun looked at each other, both filled with doubts. They didn't know where Li Shimin was going to take them, or what would happen next. But both of them had no choice but to follow Li Shimin out of the hall.

The two followed Li Shimin through the long corridor and came to a remote corner of the palace. There is a small forum here, which is rarely visited by people. Li Shimin stopped and turned to look at the two of them. There was an indescribable depth in his eyes.

"Yun'er, I have a question." Li Shimin's voice echoed, breaking the silence. His eyes turned to Li Yun beside him, with a hint of deep seriousness in his eyes.

Li Yun, as the son of Li Shimin, has been smart since he was a child and is deeply loved by his father. He has a tall and straight posture and a handsome face, giving people a heroic feeling. However, at this moment, his brows furrowed slightly, feeling a little confused by the question suddenly raised by his father.

"Do you know where Lu Zhaolin is?" Li Shimin's voice sounded again, and every word seemed to carry a heavy weight. His eyes were fixed on Li Yun, as if searching for the answer.

When Li Yun heard this, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. He shook his head and answered honestly: "Father, who is Lu Zhaolin? Why do you pay so much attention to it?" There was a trace of confusion and innocence in his voice, and he obviously knew nothing about the name Lu Zhaolin.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yun with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He originally thought that as a prince, Li Yun should know something about the famous ministers and generals in the court. After all, Li Yun has always received a good education and has many knowledgeable people around him. However, at this moment, Li Yun knew nothing about Lu Zhaolin, which made him feel a little unbelievable.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Fang Xuanling, the loyal counselor, with a trace of doubt in his eyes. Both of them thought that as the crown prince, Li Yun should know the important figures in the court well. However, at this moment, they all discovered that Li Yun knew nothing about Lu Zhaolin.

Li Shimin spoke again, with a hint of imperceptible disappointment in his voice. "Yun'er, do you really not know who Lu Zhaolin is?" His tone revealed a deep regret and confusion.

Li Yun looked at his father's disappointed eyes and couldn't help feeling panicked. He is fully aware of his father's expectations and trust, and he also understands his responsibilities as a prince. He has been studying hard, hoping to share more state affairs with his father. However, at this moment, he was unable to answer his father's question, which made him feel extremely guilty.

"Father, I really don't know who Lu Zhaolin is." Li Yun lowered his head, with a tremor in his voice. His voice was full of helplessness and confusion, as if the whole world had collapsed.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yun and couldn't help feeling helpless. He knew that his expectations for Li Yun might be a little too high. He understands Li Yun's hard work and dedication, as well as his talent and potential. However, at this moment, he could not hear any news about Lu Zhaolin from Li Yun, which made him feel deeply disappointed.

He turned to look at Fang Xuanling again, with a hint of questioning in his eyes. Fang Xuanling nodded slightly, indicating that he did not know the whereabouts of Lu Zhaolin. Both of them knew that Lu Zhaolin's disappearance was of great significance to the court, and his whereabouts must be found as soon as possible.

"Yun'er, do you really not know? Didn't that kid tell you?" Li Shimin's voice was filled with a hint of reluctance and doubt. He still hoped to get some information about Lu Zhaolin from Li Yun, even a little clue.

However, Li Yun still failed to give him any definite news. He shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his voice. "What did you say? Father?" His eyes were full of confusion and innocence, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him. Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin's disappointed eyes and couldn't help but sigh. He knew that what Li Shimin needed at this moment was a right-hand man who could help him with state affairs, not a son who didn't know everything. He took a deep breath and decided to answer Li Shimin's doubts.

"Your Majesty, maybe the Seventh Prince really doesn't know." Fang Xuanling's voice contained a hint of sincerity and apology. He then mentioned the matter about Lu Zhaolin to Li Yun, and the group began to persuade him at that time to the current situation. He hoped that through his explanation, Li Yun could understand Lu Zhaolin's situation.

When Li Yun heard this, he knew what happened. He took a deep breath, his eyes shining with determination. "Father, Sixth Brother really didn't say much, and I haven't been involved in the group's affairs recently." There was a hint of firmness and determination in his voice, as if he was promising Li Shimin that he would try his best to find Lu Zhaolin's whereabouts.

Li Shimin finally understood. He looked at Li Yun's firm eyes and couldn't help feeling relieved. He knew that his son was a responsible and responsible person. Although he knew nothing about Lu Zhaolin's whereabouts at the moment, he believed that with Li Yun's efforts, he would be able to find Lu Zhaolin's whereabouts and protect the country's future.

"Didn't that kid give you the right to participate in these things?" Li Shimin's voice contained a hint of disbelief and disappointment. He always thought that Li Yun, as his son and involved in Li Min's work, should be able to have access to the core affairs of the group and understand the movements of important figures. However, now, Li Yun told him that he knew nothing about Lu Zhaolin, which made him begin to doubt Li Min's intentions and Li Yun's abilities.

"No father, Sixth Brother has been outside all the time." Li Yun's voice was trembling. He could feel Li Shimin's dissatisfaction and disappointment, which filled his heart with fear and uneasiness. He knew that as a prince, he should shoulder more responsibilities and obligations, but now, he found that he knew very little about the affairs in the court, which made him feel extremely guilty and self-blame.

"Outside? What is he doing outside?" Li Shimin's voice was filled with doubts and dissatisfaction. He always thought that Li Min was assisting him in the court and handling government affairs, but now it seems that he has been busy outside, but he knows nothing about it. This made him begin to doubt Li Min's intentions and loyalty.

Li Yun was even more shocked when he heard this. He didn't know what Li Min was doing outside, nor had he heard of any important tasks or actions he had. But now, Li Shimin suddenly asked this question, which caught him off guard.

"This... I don't know, either." Li Yun's voice was full of helplessness and confusion. He found that he knew very little about Li Min, and it could even be said that he knew nothing at all. This made him feel extremely frightened and uneasy, and at the same time, it also made him doubt his ability and value as a prince.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yun and couldn't help feeling disappointed and angry. He always thought that Li Yun was a smart and capable prince who could share more state affairs for him. But now it seems that he knows nothing about things in the court, and he doesn't even know what his brothers are doing. This made him feel extremely disappointed and angry, and it also made him start to re-examine his son.

"You don't know? I don't believe it." There was a hint of coldness and ridicule in Li Shimin's voice. He didn't believe that Li Yun knew nothing about Li Min. After all, they were both his sons and should have some contact and communication. But now, Li Yun told him that he didn't know anything, which made him feel extremely disappointed and angry.

Li Yun was even more shocked when he heard this. He knew that Li Shimin did not believe in him, which made him feel extremely frightened and uneasy. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. He knew that he knew very little about the affairs in the court, which was not his fault, but now, he could not defend himself.

"Father, I really don't know." There was a hint of crying and helplessness in Li Yun's voice. He felt extremely aggrieved and wronged, but he could not defend himself. He knew that his ability and value were limited and he could not make more contributions to the court like other princes. But now, he was questioned and doubted by Li Shimin, which made him feel extremely painful and helpless.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yun and couldn't help feeling helpless and disappointed. He knew that his expectations for Li Yun might be too high, but now, he found that his understanding of his son seemed not deep enough. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down the anger and disappointment inside him. He knew that he could not get angry with Li Yun or punish him at this time. After all, he was still his son and still needed his care and guidance.

"Okay, Yun'er, you go down first." Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for Li Yun to leave. He needed to be alone and think about what was going to happen next. He knew that Lu Zhaolin's disappearance was of great significance to the court and his whereabouts must be found as soon as possible. At the same time, he also needs to re-examine his sons to see if they can really take on more responsibilities and obligations.

Hearing this, Li Yun nodded as if he had been granted amnesty, turned around and left the hall. He knew there was no point in staying here right now.

After he left, Li Shimin suddenly asked Fang Xuanling.

"Fang Xuanling, do you think what he said is true?"

Obviously, Li Shimin still didn't trust Li Yun very much.

Li Yun shouldn't know these things.

Fang Xuanling quickly said: "Your Majesty, I think there is no need for the Seventh Prince to lie to you, and you also know that the Sixth Prince's behavior, no one will know what he doesn't want others to know, not even the Seventh Prince. of."

After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Li Shimin realized that this seemed to be the case.

"What you said seems to make sense." Li Shimin said.

Then he suddenly thought of something, so he said: "By the way, I still have something to ask Yun'er, come here! Let Yun'er come back!"

As soon as Fang Xuanling heard this, he knew that Li Shimin must be up to no good.

But he didn't dare to say anything more.

Just stood aside and looked at Li Shimin. (End of chapter)
