The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

At this time, Li Shimin was sitting in the main hall, frowning, staring at the dozen or so people in front of him. These people were standing in a row with different expressions. Some were confident, some were nervous, and some were expressionless, as if waiting for something.

These people are the talents selected by Fang Xuanling. They all have outstanding achievements in their respective fields. Some are men of letters, some are military heroes, and some are wealthy merchants. Their strength is extraordinary, and each has its own merits, but in Li Shimin's eyes, they are still a little bit behind.

Compared to Lu Zhaolin, these people are even worse. Lu Zhaolin is Li Shimin's role model. Li Shimin is impressed by his wisdom, courage and charisma. Although these people in front of them each have their own merits, they lack Lu Zhaolin's unique charm.

Even the person ranked last among the three hundred people recruited by Li Min was not comparable. Although the people recruited by Li Min seemed ordinary, each of them had unique talents and potential. Their wisdom and unity impressed Li Shimin. Although these people in front of them are very powerful, they lack that kind of unity and potential.

"Fang Xuanling, are these the people you recruited?" Li Shimin's voice broke the silence, with a hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment in his tone.

Fang Xuanling's face changed slightly. He lowered his head in embarrassment and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Obviously, Li Shimin was very uncomfortable with this. He has always valued Fang Xuanling very much and considered him his right-hand man and think tank. But this time, the person Fang Xuanling recruited disappointed him.

Because Fang Xuanling could not recruit as many people as Li Min. Although these people are powerful, their wisdom is not enough. They lack that unique insight and judgment, and cannot accurately grasp the timing and people's hearts like Lu Zhaolin and Li Min.

If there is no comparison, there will be no care. Now with comparison, there will be care. Li Shimin began to doubt his own vision and decision-making. He didn't know whether he should continue to trust Fang Xuanling or reconsider the candidate.

"These people don't look very good!" Li Shimin said without being polite. As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became tense.

The mood of these people becomes very complicated. They originally thought that they were already outstanding talents, but in Li Shimin's eyes, they were so miserable. Their self-esteem was hit and they felt very unhappy.

But he couldn't say anything to disobey Li Shimin. They knew that Li Shimin was the lord of the world and his words had irresistible authority. They can only bear this humiliation and blow silently, without daring to have the slightest dissatisfaction or complaint.

I dare not say anything. They knew that if they dared to have the slightest dissatisfaction or complaint, they would probably be regarded as disloyal and unjust by Li Shimin and lose his trust and importance.

"Your Majesty, these people are already very good." Fang Xuanling spoke again, with a hint of helplessness and pleading in his voice. He knew that he had indeed made some mistakes in recruiting people this time, but he did not want these people to be hit or humiliated too much.

"I don't think it's really good." Li Shimin said. After his words fell, the entire hall fell into silence again. No one dared to speak, no one dared to make any move, it was as if the whole world had stopped.

At this time, Li Shimin was sitting in the main hall, frowning, staring at the dozen or so people in front of him. These people were standing in a row, with different expressions on their faces. Some were confident, some were nervous, and some were expressionless, as if they were waiting for something.

When Li Shimin finished speaking, the entire hall fell into a dead silence. Those dozen people, who were once leaders in their respective fields, are now swaying like leaves blown by the cold wind. Some of their eyes showed reluctance, some flickered with doubts, and some showed deep fear.

The scholar who once moved the capital with his poetry was as pale as paper at this moment. Tears of humiliation shone in his eyes, but he didn't dare to let them fall. He clutched the corners of his clothes tightly, as if trying to find some strength from them. His back was straight, unwilling to surrender in front of the emperor, but his heart was turbulent and in great pain.

The counselor who was known for his resourcefulness looked extremely flustered at this moment. His eyes kept wandering around the hall, as if looking for a possibility of escape. His palms were soaked through, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead, revealing his inner nervousness and uneasiness.

And some people, although they seemed not to care on the surface, there was a hint of uneasiness in their eyes. They knew that the failure of this recruitment was not only a blow to Fang Xuanling, but also a humiliation to them. At this moment, they seemed to have been thrown into an ice cave, and it was bitingly cold.

Fang Xuanling stood aside, his expression equally ugly. He looked at these people with mixed feelings in his heart. He knows that these people have been carefully selected by him, and their talents and abilities are beyond doubt. But in Li Shimin's eyes, they were so vulnerable. Fang Xuanling's heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness.

Li Shimin looked at the performance of these people, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He knew that these people were carefully selected by Fang Xuanling, and their talents and abilities were outstanding. But their performance made him very disappointed. Instead of showing the confidence and determination they should have, they appeared panicked and lacked the ability to deal with emergencies.

Li Shimin couldn't help but start to wonder, are these people really qualified for the important tasks in the future? Can they stay calm and determined at critical moments? Will they be able to face the challenges ahead with him?

Li Shimin's eyes swept over these people again, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that he needed not only people with outstanding talents and abilities, but also people who could remain calm and firm at critical moments. What he needs are people who can face the challenges of the future with him.

So, Li Shimin took a deep breath, and his voice sounded again: "Fang Xuanling, although these people are talented, their performance has disappointed me. What we need are people who can remain calm and firm at critical moments." , instead of these panicked people. I hope you can re-select a group of people and recruit talents with real ability and potential for me."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence again. The faces of those dozen people became paler, and their eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness. They knew that they had lost Li Shimin's trust and importance. Their hearts were filled with regret and chagrin. They regretted why they did not show the confidence and determination they deserved. They regretted why they did not seize this opportunity. Fang Xuanling nodded silently, his heart also full of bitterness and helplessness. He knew that the failure of this recruitment was a heavy blow to him. But he also understood that Li Shimin's words made sense. What they need are people who can remain calm and firm at critical moments, not these panicked people. So, he took a deep breath and said firmly: "Yes, Your Majesty! I will select a new group of people and recruit those truly capable and potential talents for you."

At this time, Li Shimin gave a bitter smile, waved his hand and said, "No need, I don't want these people anymore." His words contained his deep disappointment for these people, and he glanced at At a glance at the dozen or so people he called "talents," the expressions on their faces were as complex as a palette, ranging from panic to unwillingness to despair. Fang Xuanling, standing aside, also looked embarrassed and in pain.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, there was silence in the hall. Those selected talents seemed to have been suddenly sentenced to death. Their faces instantly turned pale and their bodies trembled slightly. They originally thought that they would be Li Shimin's right-hand man and become a trump card in his hand, but they did not expect that they would be so unbearable in the heart of the Lord of the World.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and continued: "As for the talent plan, I think you need to learn more from Shengtang Group. Their method of finding people is better." His words revealed his admiration and appreciation for Shengtang Group. Agree.

Li Shimin's words completely stunned Fang Xuanling. He originally wanted to defend these people, but at this moment he felt that he had nothing to say. He knew that Li Shimin's words had made it very clear that he was very disappointed with the performance of these people, and he had fully agreed with Li Min's recruitment method.

Fang Xuanling's heart felt like being hit by a heavy hammer. He had always been very confident in his vision and abilities, but this time, his confidence and pride were shattered by Li Shimin's words. He bowed deeply and said with a trembling voice: "Yes, Your Majesty. I will seriously reflect on my mistakes and start again."

Seeing Fang Xuanling's painful and helpless expression, Li Shimin felt no pity or sympathy in his heart. He knows that as a leader, he cannot let his personal feelings affect his judgment of the entire team. What he needs is someone who can take on this important task, not someone who will only let him down.

Li Shimin's eyes once again glanced at those eliminated, their faces full of despair and unwillingness. He took a deep breath and continued: "Fang Xuanling, remember the lesson learned this time. Talents cannot be selected by selection, but need to be cultivated and discovered with heart. The reason why Shengtang Group can find so many Excellent talents are because they know how to discover and cultivate them. You must also learn their methods to recruit truly talented and capable talents for me."

When Li Shimin finished speaking, the hall fell into a dead silence. Those who were eliminated looked pale, as if all their life had been drained away. Their eyes flashed with disbelief, unwillingness and despair.

The scholar who once moved the capital with his poetry was clenching his hands with bulging veins, as if he was trying to suppress the anger and humiliation in his heart. Tears of humiliation shone in his eyes, but he didn't dare to let them fall. He clutched the corners of his clothes tightly, as if trying to find some strength from them. His body was shaking slightly, as if he might collapse at any time.

The counselor who was famous for his wisdom was pale at this moment, as if all the blood had been drained out of his face. His eyes kept wandering around the hall, as if looking for a possibility of escape. His palms were soaked through, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead, revealing his inner nervousness and uneasiness. His body was also shaking slightly, as if he had lost all strength.

As for the others, although they seemed indifferent on the surface, there was a hint of uneasiness in their eyes. They knew that the failure of this recruitment was not only a blow to Fang Xuanling, but also a humiliation to them. At this moment, it was like being thrown into an ice cave, it was bitingly cold. Their eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness, as if they might explode at any time.

The entire hall was filled with an atmosphere of depression and tension, as if a storm might break out at any time. Those who were eliminated were filled with despair and unwillingness, as if they had seen their own end. As for Fang Xuanling, he stood aside and watched the reactions of these people, his heart filled with bitterness and helplessness. He knew that the failure of this recruitment was a heavy blow to him, but he also knew that he had to accept this fact and start over.

Fang Xuanling stood in a corner of the hall, looking at Li Shimin and those who had been eliminated with heavy eyes. His heart felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer, turbulent and full of complex emotions.

First, he felt deep disappointment and self-blame. As the talent officer responsible for recruitment, he always thought that his vision and abilities were outstanding. However, the failure of this recruitment made him realize that he might not be that good after all. He saw those who had been eliminated, their faces full of despair and unwillingness, as if he had personally pushed them into the abyss. This sense of powerlessness and self-blame made Fang Xuanling's heart hurt like a knife.

Secondly, what he felt was guilt for Li Shimin. He knew that Li Shimin had always had high hopes for him and expected him to recruit a group of outstanding talents for him. However, the failure of this recruitment made Li Shimin extremely disappointed and even began to doubt his ability. Fang Xuanling felt that her heart was filled with guilt, as if she couldn't breathe.

However, despite disappointment, self-blame and guilt, Fang Xuanling also felt a firm belief in her heart. He knew that he could not give up because of this failure, nor lose confidence because of Li Shimin's disappointment. On the contrary, he should regard this failure as a valuable lesson, re-examine his standards and requirements, and find a more suitable way to recruit talents.

He took a deep breath, his eyes shining with determination. He knew that his mission was not over yet, and he must continue to work hard to recruit truly talented and capable talents for Li Shimin. Only in this way can we make up for this failure and regain Li Shimin's trust and reuse.

Fang Xuanling's heart is full of challenges and determination. He knows that this is a road full of thorns, but he is willing to move forward bravely for Li Shimin's great cause.

"Okay, you have to do this well, you know?"

Li Shimin finally said this.

What else could Fang Xuanling say?

I had to agree.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
