The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

In the main hall of Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair, his face was ashen, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he was obviously in a very bad mood. His gaze was like a knife, swiping fiercely across Fang Xuanling below, as if he wanted to eat him alive. The atmosphere in the entire palace was so oppressive that it seemed like even the air was frozen.

At this time, Li Shimin was caught in a storm of public opinion. The image of his rule that he had carefully constructed has now become riddled with holes in the minds of the people. And all of this actually originated from a laptop computer.

He slapped the armrest of the dragon chair angrily and shouted loudly: "Fang Xuanling, why did you present that laptop to me? Now that boy Li Min is using all kinds of tricks to force me to give this computer to him! You are Didn't you expect all this? You did it on purpose, right?"

Fang Xuanling was shocked when he heard this, but tried to keep calm on his face. He knew Li Shimin's temper very well, and if he was a little careless at this moment, he might cause even greater trouble. He bowed and defended in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I didn't think that much at the time. I just thought that the computer was a novelty and might make your Majesty smile."

Although his words were humble, he had other plans in mind. In fact, when Fang Xuanling presented the computer to Li Shimin, he did so with the intention of diverting his attention. He knew that Li Shimin had been worried about finding talents, and this computer might allow Li Shimin to temporarily forget this trouble.

However, he never expected that Li Shimin would be so addicted to computers that he would be less concerned about government affairs. What he didn't expect was that Li Min would use this to force Li Shimin.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling had mixed feelings in her heart, including worries about Li Shimin and dissatisfaction with Li Min. But he knew very well that as a courtier, he must relieve Li Shimin's worries. So, he took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and the only way to resolve the crisis at hand is to find a way. I am willing to do my best to provide advice for Your Majesty."

When Li Shimin heard this, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He knew that Fang Xuanling was a very smart person and would definitely be able to come up with good strategies for him. So, he took a deep breath, tried to calm down the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Fang Xuanling, I will give you this task. You must find a way to get me out of this predicament!"

Fang Xuanling stood in the main hall of Tai Chi Palace with mixed feelings in her heart. He glanced at Li Shimin and saw that his face was livid and his eyes were flashing with anger. However, Fang Xuanling noticed that Li Shimin's eyes would secretly glance at the laptop placed on the desk from time to time, showing a kind of love and curiosity that could not be concealed. This made Fang Xuanling smile secretly in her heart. This computer had become the emperor's new favorite.

He knew that the turmoil caused by computers was far from over, and he had to deal with it carefully. Fang Xuanling's brows were furrowed, and the expression on his face was very complicated. He knew in his heart that although Li Shimin looked angry on the surface, he actually loved this computer very much. This kind of conflicting emotions made Fang Xuanling feel very helpless. He also knew that he had to find a way to solve this problem now.

"Only you can break the situation today! I know that you must have a way." Li Shimin's voice sounded again, with unquestionable determination in his tone. His eyes were fixed on Fang Xuanling, as if he wanted to read his mind.

Fang Xuanling's heart tightened, and he knew he could no longer shirk it. He took a deep breath, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't do it, because I still have talent recruitment matters on my hands." He tried to shirk it on the grounds of talent recruitment, hoping to avoid this disaster for the time being. .

However, Li Shimin seemed to have been prepared for it. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "If you don't tell me, I still can't remember that you have been doing this for so long and still haven't been able to do it well. I still want to cure it. Now you have an opportunity to atone for your sins. Why don't you thank me quickly!" As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire palace suddenly became tense.

Fang Xuanling's face became even more ugly. He knew very well that Li Shimin was deliberately trying to get in around him so that he could not escape. He originally wanted to excuse himself because he was busy, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin would catch him. Now he was really in a dilemma. His hands were clenched into fists, and veins popped out, showing his inner struggle and helplessness.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling didn't respond, Li Shimin added: "Okay, that's it. Now you must find a way." There was unquestionable firmness in his tone, as if everything was settled. The arrangements have been made, just waiting for Fang Xuanling to come up with a solution.

Fang Xuanling was extremely anxious. He knew that he had no way out at this moment. He looked up at Li Shimin, a trace of firmness and determination flashing in his eyes. He knew that he had to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and tried to make her voice calm and firm. He bowed and turned to leave.

However, Li Shimin had no intention of letting him leave. He waved his hand and signaled Fang Xuanling to stay: "Who asked you to leave? The situation is so urgent now, so just stay in this palace." His words made Fang Xuanling's heart sink. He knew what was coming next. I'm afraid life won't be too easy.

A bitter smile flashed across Fang Xuanling's face, and he knew that he had no way to resist. He could only bite the bullet and agree: "Yes, Your Majesty." There was a hint of trembling and helplessness in his voice, as if he had foreseen the dilemma he would face next.

"Also, we must come up with a solution today." Li Shimin added.

Fang Xuanling immediately said: "Your Majesty, please give me more time. After all, this matter is not simple."

Li Min's situation is not easy to break.

Fang Xuanling also knew it.

Li Shimin knew better.

Even Li Shimin couldn't break the situation, so Fang Xuanling came.

That's simple.

But now that’s all.

Fang Xuanling must do it.

"Okay, I want to know what you think tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, please step back! Go find a place to rest in the palace. I want to know your method early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As Fang Xuanling retreated, the atmosphere in Tai Chi Palace returned to calm again. However, this turmoil caused by computers is far from over, and Fang Xuanling knows that the days ahead will be full of challenges and crises.

When Fang Xuanling walked out of the main hall of Tai Chi Palace, the sky was already getting dark. There was a bitter smile on his face, and his heart was full of helplessness and anxiety. He knew that he had no way to resist Li Shimin's order, so he could only bite the bullet and deal with this difficult problem.

He walked alone in the corridor of the palace, his lonely figure reflected in the palace lantern beside him. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep thoughts. He knew that he had to come up with a solution as soon as possible that would not only satisfy Li Shimin but also solve the computer problem. Returning to the residence arranged by Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling locked herself in the room and began to think hard for a long time. Sometimes he paces, sometimes stops to think, and sometimes scribbles on paper. His face sometimes showed a look of joy, and sometimes turned into a frown.

As night fell, the moonlight shone on the window, reflecting his tired figure. However, Fang Xuanling did not feel sleepy at all. His mind was filled with ideas and plans as he tried to find a way to solve the problem without losing the emperor's face.

While Fang Xuanling was thinking hard, Queen Changsun walked into Tai Chi Palace. She saw Li Shimin sitting on the dragon throne with a proud smile on his face. She couldn't help but be a little confused and didn't know what happened.

"Your Majesty, what are you..." Queen Changsun asked tentatively.

Li Shimin glanced at her and smiled proudly: "With Fang Xuanling's help, this storm will definitely pass. Queen, there is no need to return my computer."

When Queen Changsun heard this, she couldn't help but frowned. She thought this was too harsh on Fang Xuanling. However, Li Shimin seemed full of confidence. He believed that Fang Xuanling would be able to solve this problem. He trusted Fang Xuanling very much. I believe he can do it.

"But, wouldn't this be too harsh on Fang Xuanling?" Queen Changsun couldn't help but say.

Li Shimin shook his head disapprovingly: "As a minister, shouldn't he be like this?" He believed that Fang Xuanling, as his right-hand man, should be able to shoulder this responsibility.

Empress Changsun stood in the main hall of Tai Chi Palace. Facing Li Shimin's determination and confidence, she felt powerless. She knew Li Shimin's character. Once he decided something, he was as firm as a rock and difficult to shake. She sighed softly, her heart filled with worries about Fang Xuanling.

She looked up at the night sky outside the window. The moonlight fell like water on the roof of the palace, reflecting a peaceful and mysterious scene. However, she knew that beneath this tranquility lay a huge storm. This turmoil caused by computers has caused turmoil in the entire court, and Fang Xuanling has been pushed to the forefront.

Empress Changsun prayed silently, hoping that Fang Xuanling could find a solution to the problem and survive this crisis safely. She knew that Fang Xuanling was a smart and wise man, and he would definitely be able to find a way to resolve this crisis.

At this moment, Li Shimin's voice interrupted her thoughts: "Queen, why don't you go back and rest?" He raised his head, with a trace of concern in his eyes.

Empress Changsun came back to her senses and smiled softly: "Your Majesty, I am just wondering whether this turmoil will put too much pressure on Fang Xuanling."

Li Shimin frowned slightly when he heard this: "There will definitely be pressure, but this is also his responsibility. As a minister, he should help the court solve its problems."

Empress Changsun said nothing. She knew that Li Shimin's decision was irreversible. She could only silently hope that Fang Xuanling would have enough wisdom and courage to face this storm.

As the night grew darker, the lights in Tai Chi Palace gradually went out. Queen Changsun slowly walked out of the hall, her heart still full of worries about Fang Xuanling. She looked up at the stars and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that everything would be resolved smoothly tomorrow.

In another palace, Fang Xuanling was sitting alone at the table, thinking hard. His face was full of anxiety and exhaustion, but his eyes shone with determination. He knew that he had to come up with a solution to the problem as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

He kept scribbling on paper, trying to find a feasible path. However, time was running out and he felt his thoughts becoming more and more confused. He looked up at the night sky outside the window, feeling helpless and confused.

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He raised his head, a hint of surprise in his eyes. The door was gently pushed open, and an attendant came in: "Master Fang, your Majesty, please go see him immediately."

When Fang Xuanling heard this, his heart tightened. He knew that this was Li Shimin urging him to come up with a solution as soon as possible. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and then followed the attendant out of the room.

In the main hall of Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair, with a hint of expectation and nervousness on his face. When he saw Fang Xuanling walking in, he immediately stood up: "Fang Xuanling, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Fang Xuanling bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am late, please forgive me."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "That's it, that's all. I know you are under a lot of pressure and it is normal to have no sense of time. Now, I want to hear your thoughts."

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath, and then elaborated on his thoughts and plans. His voice was clear and firm, and his eyes shone with wisdom. Li Shimin listened to his story, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.

When Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Li Shimin exclaimed: "Good! Good! Good! Fang Xuanling, you really did not disappoint me. This method can not only solve the computer problem, but also protect my face. I am really looking forward to it." Tomorrow’s coming!”

Fang Xuanling also had a happy smile on her face. He knew that his plan had been recognized and supported by Li Shimin, and there was finally hope of resolving the storm. He was filled with excitement and pride, but also felt a little tired and relieved.

At this moment, Li Shimin also felt relaxed and happy. He sat on the dragon chair and looked out the window at the night sky, filled with expectation and longing. He believed that with the help of Fang Xuanling, he would be able to overcome this difficulty and usher in a better future.

As the night wore on, the lights in Tai Chi Palace gradually went out. However, in this quiet night, there is an invisible force quietly surging. It will change the fate of the entire court and the life trajectories of Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin.

The next morning when the first ray of sunshine shone on the earth, Fang Xuanling had already started his action. He started to solve the computer problem according to the plan and was also thinking about how to report his progress to Li Shimin.

In the main hall of Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair early and waited for Fang Xuanling's arrival. There was a hint of anticipation and nervousness on his face, as if he was waiting for an important performance to begin.

After a while, Fang Xuanling walked into the hall. There was a hint of exhaustion on his face but determination and confidence in his eyes. When he saw Li Shimin, he immediately bowed and saluted: "His Majesty has already started to solve the computer problem according to your request."

Li Shimin immediately sat up straight after hearing this: "Oh? How is the progress?"

Fang Xuanling reported his progress and plans in detail. His voice was clear and powerful, as if he was showing Li Shimin a grand blueprint. Li Shimin's face gradually relaxed as he listened to his story. (End of chapter)
