The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Fang Xuanling returned home and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. There was a question lingering in his mind: how to propose to Li Min that Shengtang Group participate in free medical care for all. He thought about it over and over again, but he still couldn't find the right words.

Time passed minute by minute, and until the early hours of the morning, Fang Xuanling was still not sleepy. At this time, Fang Yiai knocked on Fang Xuanling's door.

"Come in!" Fang Xuanling's voice sounded slightly tired.

Fang Yiai pushed open the door and walked in. He saw the bright lights in his father's room and couldn't help asking, "Father, why haven't you rested yet?"

Fang Xuanling looked up at Fang Yiai, sighed and said, "His Majesty asked me to discuss with the Sixth Prince, hoping that he can contribute money and efforts to support the implementation of free medical care for all."

Fang Yiai pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Father, is it just for this matter?" In his opinion, this matter did not seem complicated, so why did it bother his father so much?

Fang Xuanling felt bitter in his heart. He knew that he owed Li Min too much. He did not want to add any more burden to Shengtang Group. However, Li Shimin's expectations for Shengtang Group made him feel pressured. He was worried that Li Min would not agree easily, and if the matter was not handled well, it might affect their relationship with Li Min.

Fang Xuanling frowned slightly, feeling mixed emotions in his heart. He knew that his responsibility was heavy, but he did not want to trouble Li Min too much. This conflicting mood made it difficult for him to sleep. He looked out the window, the sky was starting to turn white, but his heart was still blank.

Fang Yiai blinked, confused. He looked at his father, Fang Xuanling, and didn't understand why he was bothered by such a trivial matter. In his opinion, communicating directly with Li Min should be the best solution.

"Father, you can talk to your husband directly. I'm sure he will understand your difficulties." He suggested.

However, Fang Xuanling shook his head gently, with a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He knew that things were not that simple. He said to Fang Yiai: "My child, you still don't understand. The human debt between me and my husband is enough. If we owe more, I will feel uneasy."

Fang Xuanling frowned and felt mixed emotions in her heart. He recalled that Li Shimin had repeatedly asked Li Min to participate in various affairs, which made him feel even more stressed. He was worried that if he made another request to Li Min, the other party might ignore him. After all, the Shengtang Group has huge influence, and Li Min's help is crucial to them.

"I think you are too worried." Fang Yiai tried to comfort her father, "You introduced Liu Rengui to your husband before, which was a big favor. With such a friendship, if you make a request to him again, he should agree."

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly lit up, and a warm current surged in his heart. He patted his son on the shoulder and smiled: "You said that, I really didn't expect it."

"Then shall we call sir now?" Fang Yiai asked.

Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment, his deep eyes shining with thought. He shook his head slightly and slowly uttered a few words: "Now is not the time, and we don't need to find Mr.

He knew in his heart that direct communication with Liu Rengui was a better choice. After all, Liu Rengui owed him a favor, and this was a good time to repay the favor. Fang Xuanling is well versed in the ways of the world, and he understands the subtle relationships and exchanges of interests between people. He knows how to use these relationships to achieve his own ends.

Fang Yiai looked at her father in confusion and frowned: "Why can't you just go to the sir?" In his opinion, Li Min was the fastest way to solve the problem.

Fang Xuanling smiled softly, with a hint of helplessness and doting in her eyes. He understood his son's confusion, but he did not explain immediately. He just said lightly: "Son, there are some things you will understand later."

Although Fang Yiai was confused, seeing his father so determined, he didn't say anything more. He reminded with concern: "Father, you have been busy all day and it is getting late. You should go to bed early."

Fang Xuanling smiled and shook his head: "I'm still energetic. Let's wait until I finish handling the official business." His eyes were firm and persistent, and it was obvious that there were still many things waiting for him to do.

Fang Yiai looked at his father worriedly. He knew that his father's health was not ideal and his body was exhausted from long hours of exertion. He couldn't help but persuade: "Father, it will be dawn in less than two hours. You'd better rest early."

Fang Xuanling gently patted her son's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm fine. That's it. You can go out first. I have some things to deal with."

Fang Yiai sighed helplessly, knowing that his father's decision was irreversible. He silently exited the room, leaving his father alone to attend to his business. The moment he closed the door, he couldn't help but feel a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.

Until the next day, when it was just dawn.

Fang Xuanling picked up the phone and called Liu Rengui.

When the other party picked up the phone, he was shocked.

"Why did you think of calling me?" Liu Rengui asked.

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "I haven't been able to talk to you about anything recently. I happen to be free today, so I wanted to talk to you about something."

What Fang Xuanling said made Liu Rengui a little puzzled.

He seemed to have noticed something.

Does Fang Xuanling want to do something by herself?

But if he really wanted to do something, it was impossible for him not to do it.

After all, he owed Fang Xuanling a favor.

He always kept this in mind.

If it weren't for Fang Xuanling, he might not be able to come to Dongzhou.

Liu Rengui is now a famous figure in Dongzhou.

Everyone wanted to do things with him.

And he was also very good at management and solved a lot of troubles for Li Min, which made Li Min very satisfied.

It seems that the previous efforts were not in vain.

If it weren't for Liu Rengui, Li Min might have to postpone some matters.

It can be said that Liu Rengui is a talented person, and getting his help means waiting for a lot of development opportunities.

At this time, Liu Rengui heard the deep meaning in Fang Xuanling's words, and couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart. He felt that Fang Xuanling seemed to have something to ask for, but he couldn't ask directly. After all, he owed Fang Xuanling a favor, and this debt of favor was always weighing on his heart.

Fang Xuanling continued: "Rengui, you know that I have always regarded you as a confidant. There are some things I want to discuss with you. Are you free now?"

Liu Rengui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Fang Gong, please speak, I'm on standby at any time."

Fang Xuanling nodded with satisfaction. He understood Liu Rengui's situation and thoughts. He believed that Liu Rengui would try his best to help him. After all, the relationship between them was not an ordinary friendship.

"Ren Gui, I know that you have outstanding management skills and have solved a lot of troubles for your husband. I am looking for you this time for the sake of the imperial court." Fang Xuanling said straightforwardly.

Liu Rengui's heart tightened. He had guessed that what Fang Xuanling wanted was related to the imperial court. He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "Fang Gong, please speak, I will try my best to assist."

He had already left the court, but Fang Xuanling wanted to get involved again.

This made him very depressed.

Fang Xuanling smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, then I'll tell you straight. I want you to come forward and help me, can you?"

Liu Rengui was silent for a moment. He knew that it was time to repay the debt he owed to Fang Xuanling. Although he felt helpless, he also understood that this was a responsibility that he could not escape.

"Fang Gong, if you have anything to do, please tell me directly!" Liu Rengui replied.

Fang Xuanling smiled softly: "Ren Gui, you are indeed a cheerful person. That's right, I want you to help the court handle some matters related to the Shengtang Group."

Liu Rengui frowned. He did not want to get involved in the dispute between the imperial court and the Shengtang Group again. However, facing Fang Xuanling's request, he could not refuse easily.

"Fang Gong, you also know that I have left the court and I will no longer interfere in the affairs of the court." Liu Rengui said somewhat helplessly.

Fang Xuanling said softly: "Rengui, you understand what I mean. I am not asking you to return to the imperial court, but I hope you can assist Shengtang Group in handling some affairs related to the imperial court."

Liu Rengui pondered for a moment, and he understood what Fang Xuanling meant. This means that he needs to assist in the communication and coordination between Shengtang Group and the imperial court to ensure that the cooperation between the two parties proceeds smoothly.

"Since it is the landlord's request, I will naturally try my best to assist." Liu Rengui replied firmly.

Fang Xuanling nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it. I'll keep it short because the court has recently launched free medical care." Fang Xuanling started, and Liu Rengui said, "I've heard about this."

"Have you heard about it?" Fang Xuanling asked doubtfully. Obviously, he didn't know how the other party knew.

But with the capabilities of Shengtang Group, such a thing cannot be hidden.

"Yes, I heard that, go ahead and tell me!"

Liu Rengui said again.

"Okay, I'll just say it simply. It's like this. Recently, the imperial court is promoting free medical care, and as you know, if it is done by the imperial court, it may take a lot of time, because the imperial court has no foundation in this area. , unlike Shengtang Group, which has a deep foundation in medicine, do you understand what I’m saying?”

Liu Rengui nodded, and then said: "I know, the court does things slowly!"

Liu Rengui's words made Fang Xuanling a little puzzled.

Because he didn't ask about this matter, but Liu Rengui said so. This also shows that the imperial court is relatively bloated and not as efficient as the Shengtang Group, so it is particularly slow to do things.

"This is not the key. The key is to involve the Shengtang Group so that this matter can be done more quickly. Do you understand what I say?" Fang Xuanling said again.

"Yes, go on, what do you want Shengtang Group to do?" Liu Rengui is also a very sober person, so what does Fang Xuanling want Shengtang Group to do.

"It's very simple, investment, plus talent training, and..."

Fang Xuanling said everything Li Shimin said.

Liu Rengui felt depressed after hearing this.

Because Fang Xuanling wants Shengtang Group to do too many things, right?

How can it be possible to accomplish so many things?

And it's a lot of money.

Judging from the Shengtang Group that Liu Rengui came into contact with, Shengtang Group does not have much money now.

Because the money is spent on research.

It feels unrealistic to ask Shengtang Group to contribute more money.

If there are talents, that would be fine. Shengtang Group now has too many talents.

But this will only work if Li Min nods. If Li Min doesn't think it's possible, there's nothing he can do about it.

Fang Xuanling talked for a long time, and Liu Rengui had almost listened.

"So, is this what His Majesty means?"

Liu Rengui said to the point.

At this time, Fang Xuanling was speechless because he never expected that Liu Rengui would say this.

"I……"

Fang Xuanling was speechless for a moment.

But in the end he said: "No, I think it will be better if Shengtang Group is involved, because free medical care for all can make the people of Datang feel happier, and it can also make the entire Datang further improve our national strength.”

But for now, what does it have to do with Li Min?

It can be said that it has nothing to do with Li Min.

Because Li Min is in Dongzhou now, not in Datang. He doesn't care what happens to Datang. He wants to shut down Datang's Shengtang Group.

Even Li Yun wanted to change his career. What about Datang? Li Min really didn't think so much.

In Dongzhou, free medical care has been implemented for all.

Therefore, he doesn't care about this matter.

But that's Li Min's business.

The current matter is between Fang Xuanling and Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui agreed to Fang Xuanling.

But the final decision rests with Li Min.

Liu Rengui can help Fang Xuanling with things, but to what extent he can do it is another matter.

"So that's how it is, I understand!" Liu Rengui said.

But he still had something to say.

But this kind of thing cannot be said.

"So, I would like to ask you for help. Talk to the Sixth Prince and let him participate in the court's plan. This is a matter of generations. If the Shengtang Group gets involved, it will be a huge problem for us. With good results, people will be happier, right?"

Fang Xuanling finally said this.

Liu Rengui did not reject him. He said: "Regarding this matter, I still think you can let your husband make the decision, because we can't make this decision for him. If he doesn't think it's okay, then I have nothing to do."

"You also know that all these things are very important. If sir is involved, he will definitely be loved by the people."

Fang Xuanling has been trying to persuade Liu Rengui.

But Liu Rengui already understood that his persuasion was useless.

"Okay, I will talk to you sir. I will tell you the truth about what you said today. It depends on what you mean. As you know, sir, this is different."

Liu Rengui was right, Li Min was such a person.

But Fang Xuanling still did not give up and said: "About this matter, we learned about it from the Sixth Prince's book. If it weren't for his book, we wouldn't know that we could still do this. This matter, I took the initiative to mention it to Your Majesty because I really couldn’t stand the fact that people don’t have money for medical treatment. So..."

Fang Xuanling did a good job from this point of view.

Liu Rengui was also moved because he is also a people-oriented person.

So, he said: "Don't worry, I will go talk to your husband now!"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he felt relieved a little.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news and I'll find you later!"
