The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Fang Xuanling stood in front of Li Shimin and slowly stated his thoughts. His words were like a trickle, neither urgent nor slow, but every word was filled with thoughtfulness. His eyes were firm and his expression was serious, as if he was conducting an important negotiation.

Li Shimin listened to Fang Xuanling's story, his brows gradually relaxed, and he nodded from time to time, obviously agreeing with Fang Xuanling's proposal. His eyes shone with approval, as if he saw the dawn of a solution to the problem.

At this moment, Queen Changsun came over from the other side. She was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, with a gentle face and curiosity and concern in her eyes. She didn't know what Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin were talking about, but when she saw the smile on Li Shimin's face, she couldn't help but become curious.

Empress Changsun walked to Li Shimin and asked softly: "Your Majesty, I see you very happy. Did something happy happen?" Her voice was soft and concerned, revealing her deep love for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked up and saw Empress Changsun, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He pulled Queen Changsun to sit down, pointed at Fang Xuanling and said: "Queen, you came just in time. Fang Xuanling thought of a good way so that I don't have to return the laptop. This is really great. "

When Queen Changsun heard this, she showed a surprised expression on her face. She looked at Fang Xuanling and then at Li Shimin, seeming a little confused. She asked doubtfully: "What method?"

Li Shimin smiled and said to Fang Xuanling: "Come on, Fang Xuanling, tell the queen."

Fang Xuanling nodded slightly, then turned to Queen Changsun and began to explain her plan in detail. His voice was smooth and powerful, and every word was like a carefully polished gem, shining with the light of wisdom.

"Your Majesty the Queen, this is it. I suggest that your Majesty make a copy of the shell of a laptop. Of course, this is just an empty shell without any internal core components. Then, we can arrange for someone to 'find' this laptop near the Shengtang Group. computer case and create a public opinion storm. In this way, the people will believe that the computer is not in the palace, but was accidentally discovered outside. Faced with such pressure from public opinion, the people of Shengtang Group also We can no longer pursue the matter of the computer. In this way, His Majesty’s computer does not need to be returned.”

After Fang Xuanling finished explaining, the entire palace fell into silence. After hearing Fang Xuanling's plan, Empress Changsun showed a complicated expression on her face. She seemed to understand Fang Xuanling's thoughts, but she felt that this method was a bit too clever and even a bit tricky.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling with satisfaction, as if he saw the problems in his mind being solved one by one. He patted Fang Xuanling on the shoulder and praised: "Fang Xuanling, you are really smart. This method is both clever and practical."

Queen Changsun looked at the excitement of the two people. Although she still had some doubts in her heart, she didn't say anything else. She knew that Li Shimin had a special liking for this computer. Since Fang Xuanling could come up with such a way to solve the problem, it might not be a bad thing.

At this time, the scenery outside the palace was as beautiful as a picture. The sun shines on the ground through the clouds, and the golden light complements the glazed tiles of the palace, making it particularly dazzling. The breeze blows gently, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. However, the atmosphere in the palace was a bit tense.

Queen Changsun stood in front of Li Shimin, her brows furrowed and her expression serious. She looked at the laptop in Li Shimin's hand, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. She was well aware of the appeal of this computer to Li Shimin, and also understood that the plan proposed by Fang Xuanling was to solve the current dilemma. However, deep down she felt that something was wrong with this.

"Your Majesty, is this really okay?" Queen Changsun asked softly, with a hint of hesitation and worry in her voice.

Li Shimin raised his head and glanced at her, with a confident smile on his face. He waved the computer in his hand and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong with this?" His voice was firm and confident, as if everything was under his control.

Fang Xuanling stood aside and silently observed the conversation between the two. He sensed Empress Changsun's worry and felt Li Shimin's confidence. He secretly thought: Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Queen has some misunderstanding about this plan?

Queen Changsun felt even more worried when she saw Li Shimin's confident look. She took a deep breath, tried to keep herself calm, and then said: "I think this is not good." Although her voice was soft, her attitude was very firm.

Li Shimin looked at Queen Changsun with some surprise and frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Queen Changsun would object to this plan. In his opinion, this plan is both clever and practical, and can completely solve the current dilemma. He couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Isn't this plan perfect?"

Queen Changsun looked at Li Shimin with a trace of helplessness in her eyes. She knew Li Shimin's temper and it was difficult to change something he decided. However, she still wanted to try to convince him. So, she said softly: "Your Majesty, think about it, although this can temporarily solve the problem, in the long run, it may cause greater trouble."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, seeming a little confused. He looked at Queen Changsun and asked, "What's the trouble?"

Empress Changsun took a deep breath and continued: "This plan is a lie after all. Once it is exposed, it will not only make your Majesty lose the support of the people, but may also cause turmoil within the court. Moreover, doing so is not in line with His Majesty's consistent integrity. philosophy of governing the country.”

Queen Changsun's words made Li Shimin fall into deep thought. He looked down at the computer in his hand, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He understood that Queen Changsun's concerns were not without purpose, and that this plan did have risks. However, he also knew how important this computer was to him. He was in a dilemma and didn't know what to choose.

Fang Xuanling watched the conversation between the two and was secretly worried. He knew that Queen Changsun's concerns were not unreasonable, but he also knew Li Shimin's determination. He is worried that if this continues, the differences between the two will become wider and wider, which may eventually lead to irreconcilable conflicts.

Just when the atmosphere reached a deadlock, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the palace. A eunuch hurried in with a panic look on his face. He knelt down in front of Li Shimin and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, it's bad! People from the Shengtang Group have discovered the replica laptop case and broadcast it live for everyone to see. A large number of TV stations appeared there. They This matter is being investigated!”

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and the three people in the palace were stunned. Li Shimin and Queen Changsun looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces. Fang Xuanling, on the other hand, secretly screamed that something was wrong. He knew that this plan had been exposed.

Li Shimin stood up suddenly, with an angry look on his face. He glared at Fang Xuanling and asked angrily: "What's going on? Didn't you say that this plan is foolproof?" His voice was full of disappointment and anger.

Fang Xuanling knelt on the ground with a look of panic. He knew the plan had failed and he could no longer defend himself. He could only bow his head and admit his mistake, saying: "Your Majesty, calm down, I made a mistake. I didn't expect people from the Shengtang Group to handle this replica laptop case this way."

Originally, public opinion was directed against the Shengtang Group, but now it seems that the Shengtang Group is more powerful.

Queen Changsun couldn't help but feel a pang of regret in her heart when she saw Fang Xuanling's miserable appearance. She knew that Fang Xuanling was a loyal and capable minister, and this mistake was not his original intention. She said softly: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and blaming Mr. Fang will not help. Let's think about how to deal with it."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He knows that the most important thing now is how to deal with this unexpected situation, rather than pursuing responsibility. He turned to the eunuch and said, "Send someone to the Shengtang Group immediately to understand the progress of their investigation and pay close attention to their movements."

The eunuch took the order and left, and the palace fell into silence again. Li Shimin, Queen Changsun and Fang Xuanling sat together and discussed how to deal with this sudden crisis. Their expressions were serious and solemn, as if they were undergoing a life-and-death test.

In the days that followed, Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Fang Xuanling worked closely together to deal with the Shengtang Group's investigation. On the one hand, they understood the dynamics of Shengtang Group through various channels, and on the other hand, they urgently discussed countermeasures. The atmosphere in the palace became extremely tense, and everyone's nerves were tense.

However, just as they were struggling, an unexpected news came. The Shengtang Group's investigation came to nothing. They did not conduct an in-depth investigation into the replica laptop casing. This news made Li Shimin and the other three people breathe a sigh of relief, and the pressure in their hearts also eased a lot.

It turns out that the senior executives of Shengtang Group did not panic like ordinary people after learning about the replica laptop cases. On the contrary, their faces showed a calm and thoughtful look. They were sitting in a spacious conference room, surrounded by modern office equipment and high-end decoration, and everything seemed in order.

These senior executives are not people who have seen the storm. They know that in this world where power and interests are intertwined, many things are not as simple as they seem. They believed that this was probably Li Shimin's countermeasure to cover up the truth. After all, as the emperor, Li Shimin had countless resources and means to achieve his own goals. Although Shengtang Group decided not to pursue the matter in depth, they also understood that such a decision would not be a good thing for the palace. After all, people would still think that this was inextricably linked to the palace. After all, such news came from near the palace. The failure of the Shengtang Group to investigate undoubtedly laid greater hidden dangers for the palace.

That's why we took such countermeasures.

But people still think that this has something to do with the palace.

Shengtang Group's failure to investigate is not a good thing for the palace.

Just because the Shengtang Group doesn't care, it doesn't mean that the people don't care.

Now all this is developing towards Shengtang Group.

Li Shimin is now passive again.

How to do?

Fang Xuanling originally thought well.

Unexpectedly, it was dismantled by Shengtang Group.

What should we do now?

Li Shimin was in a state of confusion.

At this time, Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair in the palace, his brows furrowed, and his face showed deep worry. From time to time, his eyes glanced at Fang Xuanling and Empress Changsun standing below, seeming to be looking for a solution to the problem. He was confused and didn't know how to deal with this sudden crisis.

Fang Xuanling also looked bitter at this time. He originally thought his plan was flawless, but he didn't expect it to be dismantled so easily by the Shengtang Group. He stood in front of Li Shimin, his head lowered, his heart full of self-blame and helplessness. He knew that now he had to find a way to solve the problem again, otherwise Li Shimin and the entire palace would be in greater trouble.

"Fang Xuanling, think about it again, I want to hear what you have to say." Li Shimin's voice broke the silence in the palace. His eyes were fixed on Fang Xuanling, as if forcing him to come up with a solution.

Fang Xuanling raised her head and met Li Shimin's gaze. There was firmness and determination in his eyes. He knew that now he had to step forward and find a way out for Li Shimin and the entire palace.

At this time, Fang Xuanling didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, I can't think of anything for a while!" Fang Xuanling said quickly.

This is indeed the case, how could he come up with a solution in a short period of time.

The previous method was something he came up with after thinking about it for a long time yesterday.

That is really not easy.

Now Li Shimin is forcing him to find a way again.

It's a bit overwhelming to say anything.

"I don't care, you have to think of a way!" Li Shimin said again.

At this time, Fang Xuanling felt miserable in her heart.

Under Li Shimin's pressure, Fang Xuanling had to relent.

"Your Majesty, please give me some time. I will definitely come up with a proper solution." Although Fang Xuanling's voice was low, it was full of confidence and determination.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He knew that Fang Xuanling was a loyal and capable minister, and he believed that Fang Xuanling would be able to find a solution to the problem. So, he nodded and said: "Okay, I will believe you once. You must come up with a plan as soon as possible."

At this time, Empress Changsun walked gently to Li Shimin's side, with a trace of worry and concern on her face. She gently patted Li Shimin's shoulder and whispered: "Your Majesty, why not... give it back! We will save ourselves a lot of trouble."

Queen Changsun's words were soft but firm, and her eyes revealed a hint of wisdom and determination. She knew that as the emperor, Li Shimin shouldered heavy responsibilities and pressure, and sometimes had to make some difficult decisions. And this decision is crucial for the palace and the entire country.

Li Shimin frowned slightly when he heard Queen Changsun's words. There was a trace of determination and persistence in his eyes, as if he was unwilling to give up his plan easily. He was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "Queen, don't talk anymore, let this be the case."

Queen Changsun's face showed a trace of helplessness and worry. She knew Li Shimin's character. Once he decided something, it would be difficult to change it. But she couldn't help but persuade again: "Your Majesty, you have to know that sometimes giving up is also a kind of wisdom. Why should we cause so much trouble for a laptop case?"

Li Shimin didn't speak. He looked into the distance, as if he was thinking about something. There was a trace of firmness and determination on his face, as if he had made up his mind. He knew that he could not give up easily, otherwise he would lose more things.

Fang Xuanling stood aside and watched the conversation between Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, her heart filled with worry and helplessness. He knew that this decision would have a huge impact on the entire palace and the country. He also came up with a way, but was rejected by Li Shimin. Now, he can only wait quietly for Li Shimin's decision.

The atmosphere in the palace became somewhat solemn and depressing. The scenery outside the window also seemed to become gloomy, and the dark cloudy sky seemed to indicate the coming storm. The breeze blew by, bringing with it bursts of coolness, as if it was also trembling with the coming crisis.
