The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Fang Xuanling sat at his desk, holding his chin in his hands, with hesitation and anxiety in his eyes. He repeatedly thought about whether he should talk to Li Shimin about free medical care and the situation that Li Min had been unable to contact.

He knew that this matter had a lot at stake if it was not handled properly. He was worried that Li Shimin would have a sense of distrust in him and thought that he did not handle affairs properly. At the same time, he was also worried that if he didn't tell him now, Li Shimin would think that he was hiding the truth and aggravate the situation.

Fang Xuanling was full of inner contradictions. He wanted to remain silent to avoid unnecessary trouble, but he also felt that he should report the situation to Li Shimin in a timely manner. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

He was thinking about how to speak to Li Shimin. Should you report the situation directly and candidly, or should you find an appropriate time to mention the matter tactfully? He was worried that Li Shimin would be angry because of this incident, and he was also worried that his position and reputation would be affected.

Fang Xuanling sat at his desk, holding his chin in his hands, with hesitation and anxiety in his eyes. He repeatedly thought about whether he should talk to Li Shimin about free medical care and the situation that Li Min had been unable to contact.

He felt tremendous pressure and responsibility on his shoulders. He knew he had to make a wise decision. He decided to put this issue aside for the time being and wait until there was a better solution before communicating with Li Shimin.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the scenery. At this moment, Fang Xuanling felt unprecedented powerlessness and frustration. There was confusion and helplessness in his eyes, his brows were furrowed and the corners of his mouth were slightly drooped.

Just when Fang Xuanling figured it out and decided not to talk about it, Li Shimin suddenly appeared at his door. Fang Xuanling was shocked, and a trace of panic flashed across his face.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Fang Xuanling asked, his voice slightly trembling.

"I came over to take a look." Li Shimin replied with a serious tone. Fang Xuanling realized that he must have come to ask about free medical treatment, and his expression changed slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please come in!" Fang Xuanling said quickly, turning sideways to let Li Shimin in. A smile appeared on his face, trying to hide the nervousness and uneasiness inside him.

Li Shimin was not polite and walked in directly. When he walked inside, Li Shimin spoke directly: "Fang Xuanling, did you talk to him about what I asked you to do yesterday?"

"Found it, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling replied, her tone trembling. His face was pale and his eyes flickered.

"Oh?" Li Shimin was delighted, and then asked, "Then what did he say?"

Fang Xuanling replied at this time: "Your Majesty, I have not found the sixth prince." His voice was slightly trembling, and he did not dare to look directly at Li Shimin.

"Fang Xuanling, are you kidding me?" Li Shimin was furious and frowned. Is this deceiving Li Shimin? Li Shimin was naturally very angry.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince went out to play and couldn't find anyone. I called, but couldn't get through!" He spoke incoherently, with an anxious and helpless expression on his face.

Li Shimin was obviously a little puzzled, and then asked: "Then you can find someone else!" His tone became stern.

"I've also looked for him, but they can't decide for the Sixth Prince!" Fang Xuanling replied helplessly. There was a look of despair on his face, and deep frustration in his eyes.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling with confusion and disappointment in his eyes. He obviously didn't believe Fang Xuanling's explanation, but he had no other choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction for the time being.

"Fang Xuanling, as my subject, you can't even handle such a small thing." Li Shimin said coldly, "Do you know how much trouble this will bring to me?"

Fang Xuanling felt her heart suddenly shrink, and there was an expression of guilt and self-blame on her face. "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." He lowered his head and his voice trembled slightly, "I will resolve this matter as soon as possible so as not to cause any trouble to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, his eyes showing dissatisfaction and suspicion. He knew Fang Xuanling's abilities and believed in his loyalty, but this mistake was too obvious.

"I hope you can keep your word." Li Shimin turned and left without saying anything more. Fang Xuanling watched his leaving figure silently, with mixed feelings in her heart.

He knew that this incident was not only related to his own future, but also related to the fate of the entire Tang Dynasty. He must find a solution as soon as possible in order to make up for his mistakes and make Li Shimin trust him again.

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and tried to calm down the fluctuations in her heart. He knew that the road ahead would be more difficult, but he also understood that only by facing it bravely could he find a way out.

He will do whatever it takes to solve the problem, no matter what the cost. He couldn't let Li Shimin down, nor could he let himself down.

Fang Xuanling sat at his desk, lost in thought. He knew that he must find a solution to the free medical reform problem as soon as possible in order to make Li Shimin trust him again. He began to organize his thoughts and think about his next action plan.

First, he needs to reassess the entire situation. He needs to understand Li Min's views on free medical reform through others.

Fang Xuanling decided to contact him again to understand his situation, and also hoped that others could provide some useful suggestions.

Then Fang Xuanling realized he needed to find more supporters.

He could not rely solely on Li Min's support, but also needed to find other influential people to support the reform. He began to think about how to find such people and get them to join the ranks of supporters.

At the same time, Fang Xuanling also realized that he needed to communicate more actively with Li Shimin. He knew that Li Shimin was very concerned about this reform, so he needed to report the progress to Li Shimin regularly to let him know his efforts and results.

Through communication with Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling hopes to gradually eliminate Li Shimin's doubts and dissatisfaction with him.

In the process, Fang Xuanling also understood that he needed to work harder. He knows that trust and support can only be earned through tangible work results. Therefore, he began to work overtime, hoping to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Just when Fang Xuanling was at a loss what to do, the phone rang suddenly, breaking the tranquility of the office. He glanced at the caller ID and found that it was Liu Rengui.

"Mr. Liu, is the sixth prince back?" Fang Xuanling asked eagerly, with an expectant expression on his face. He held the phone tightly as if it was his only lifeline.

However, the voice on the phone disappointed him. "No, no, no, no, I'm here to tell you something." Liu Rengui replied, his tone hesitant.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Fang Xuanling's eyes, but he still insisted on asking: "Say!" His tone was slightly anxious, but he still maintained a certain calmness. "If you want your husband to agree to implement the free medical reform, I think you can find someone and ask him to join the Shengtang Group." Liu Rengui made a suggestion, his tone seemed a little unnatural. Because he also raised this matter.

Fang Xuanling frowned, filled with doubts. He didn't understand who the person Liu Rengui was talking about and why he was so important. He mused that this man might be a key figure who could help him solve this difficult problem.

"Who?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously, his eyes fixed on the phone, looking forward to Liu Rengui's answer.

"Lu Zhaolin!" Liu Rengui replied, his tone seemed a little nervous. This name surprised Fang Xuanling. He had never heard of this name, and he didn't understand why Liu Rengui mentioned this person.

Fang Xuanling frowned, feeling a little confused. He mused that this man might be a very important figure who could help him solve the problem of health care reform. He decided to learn more about Lu Zhaolin's situation.

"Lu Zhaolin is a talented person." Liu Rengui explained, "My husband has always hoped to find like-minded people to join, and Lu Zhaolin is just the right person. Do you understand what I mean?"

Liu Rengui still wanted Li Min to be joined by Lu Zhaolin.

Instead of Li Shimin, he regretted telling Li Shimin that thing at the time. Now he had the opportunity to ask Fang Xuanling to do this for Li Min. In this case, the talent would be available.

A glimmer of light flashed in Fang Xuanling's eyes, and he realized that this might be a feasible solution. If Lu Zhaolin can be successfully introduced to Shengtang Group, Mr. Lu may agree to implement medical reform.

"After what I have said, it's up to you what to do next!" Liu Rengui reminded again. Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and decided to try this new idea.

Fang Xuanling's eyes flashed with firm determination. He knew very well that in order to solve the current predicament, he had to find Lu Zhaolin. However, he knew that Lu Zhaolin was a very talented and knowledgeable person, and it was not easy to find him.

And he didn't know that Li Shimin was also looking for him.

So, how can we find Lu Zhaolin? Fang Xuanling was thinking hard, and suddenly an idea flashed through him. He picked up the phone and called someone from the Ministry of Revenue, asking for their help in finding detailed information about Lu Zhaolin. Soon after, someone from the Ministry of Revenue responded to Fang Xuanling and sent Lu Zhaolin's information to him.

"Wei Guogong! This is the information you want!" The person from the Ministry of Revenue said while handing the information to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling took the information and hurriedly read it. He felt a little excited because he knew that this information meant a lot to him. However, when he saw the description of Lu Zhaolin in the information, his expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" The people from the Ministry of Finance noticed the change in Fang Xuanling's expression and asked curiously.

Fang Xuanling was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing. Thank you for the information you provided. I will make good use of it."

"By the way, what do you want to do with Lu Zhaolin?" The man didn't understand why Fang Xuanling wanted Lu Zhaolin, so he asked one more question.

"Of course something happened." Fang Xuanling replied perfunctorily.

But the man added: "Did His Majesty ask you to find it?"

Fang Xuanling's eyes flickered, and she secretly speculated: How could Li Shimin be interested in Lu Zhaolin? Does he also realize the importance of health care reform? He didn't want Li Shimin to find Lu Zhaolin before him.

"I'm looking for things that don't exist." Fang Xuanling denied it, with a trace of imperceptible panic in his eyes. He didn't want anyone to know about his connection with Lu Zhaolin, especially Li Shimin.

"Then why are you looking for Lu Zhaolin?" The man asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just some personal matters." Fang Xuanling said perfunctorily, "Okay, I really have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first." After that, he left in a hurry, leaving the people in the household department confused.

Isn't this Fang Xuanling's own home? Why did he run away on his own?

So, he followed.

Fang Xuanling's heart was in chaos. He knew that time was running out and he had to find Lu Zhaolin as soon as possible. Li Shimin's interest in Lu Zhaolin made him feel tremendous pressure. He was worried that if Li Shimin found Lu Zhaolin first, his plan might fail.

Free medical care is a top priority in his mind. Rather than looking for talent, he is more eager to see this policy implemented. He knows that only in this way can we truly benefit the people and bring long-term benefits to the country.

With anxiety, Fang Xuanling continued to check Lu Zhaolin's information. Suddenly, he discovered a surprising piece of information: Lu Zhaolin actually lived in Chang'an City! This discovery made him ecstatic, because he realized that meeting Lu Zhaolin in person would be more direct and effective.

Fang Xuanling decided to find Lu Zhaolin personally. He knew this was a critical step in solving the problem and the only way to achieve his goal. He made up his mind to establish contact with Lu Zhaolin and win his support no matter what difficulties he encountered.

So, he took the initiative to search.

Fang Xuanling left the house and walked along the streets of Chang'an City, looking for traces of Lu Zhaolin. He passed through the bustling crowds and walked through quaint alleys one after another, his heart full of anticipation and nervousness.

Finally, after some inquiring and searching, Fang Xuanling came to a quiet alley. There are high earth walls on both sides of the alley. These earth walls have gone through the vicissitudes of time and look mottled and old. The green moss and vines on the wall add a bit of life and vitality to the earthen wall. The sun shines through the leaves on the wall into the alley, and the variegated light and shadow dance on the ground, as if telling ancient secrets.

As Fang Xuanling walked along the alley, she couldn't help but marvel at the charm and historical heritage of this ancient capital. Most of the houses on both sides of the alley are wooden structures, with doors and windows carved with exquisite patterns, simple and elegant. Occasionally, the wind blows, and the doors and windows sway gently, making a creaking sound, as if they are greeting passers-by.

As he walked, Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly lit up, and a unique small courtyard appeared in his sight. The yard is surrounded by a bamboo fence, and the fence is covered with roses and morning glories. The breeze blows and the fragrance of flowers overflows, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The ground in the yard is paved with bluestone slabs, and several bonsais are placed on the slabs. There are some herbs and flowers planted in the bonsai, such as licorice, wolfberry, chrysanthemum, etc. They thrive in the sun and emit a light fragrance. These herbs and flowers not only have ornamental value, but also have rich medicinal value, adding a bit of mystery and charm to this small yard.

There is a small room in the corner of the yard. The door is open, and some books are vaguely visible inside. Fang Xuanling knew that this must be Lu Zhaolin's residence. He was secretly happy and walked along the bamboo fence to the courtyard gate. He knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, a middle-aged man came out.
