The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

In the towering office building of Sheng Tang Group, the spacious and bright office looks solemn and dignified. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains and falls on the exquisite desk, forming mottled light and shadow. Wei Zheng sits at the desk, frowning and looking serious. His eyes scan the scenery outside the window from time to time, as if looking for some answer.

Wei Zheng's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound. His heart was full of doubts and dissatisfaction, and he was both surprised and angry at Li Shimin's behavior. He didn't understand why Li Min chose not to care about Li Shimin's fault. If it were him, he would definitely stand up and say something.

Finally, Wei Zheng made up his mind. He raised his head and looked at Li Shimin firmly. Although his voice was not high, it was full of power: "Your Majesty, I still hope that you can catch the person who stole the computer. In this case, you can give an explanation to the Shengtang Group."

Li Shimin sat on the sofa opposite, frowning slightly, seeming to be thinking about Wei Zheng's words. He didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a while.

Seeing this, Wei Zheng continued: "Your Majesty, do you know how much tax the Shengtang Group contributes in a year? That's a lot, even accounting for more than half of the entire Tang Dynasty. If the Shengtang Group has Question, then Datang will also reduce a lot of taxes, which is a big loss for the country’s development!”

Li Shimin nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Wei Zheng meant. However, he didn't speak, just listened quietly.

When Wei Zheng saw that Li Shimin did not respond, he added: "Your Majesty, if the Shengtang Group collapses, it will affect more than just the court. As far as I know, the entire Shengtang Group now provides about five million jobs. , or even more. The number of people directly affected by these jobs is at least 20 million, and the number of people affected indirectly is 500 if the Tang Dynasty Group cannot support it. Tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs. At that time, they will be a point of conflict in society, and their families and friends will also be affected. If it is indirectly affected, the entire Datang City will be in turmoil. You will be in trouble. Your Majesty, you may be troubled by these things every day.”

After Li Shimin heard this, he finally spoke. His voice was a little low, with a hint of helplessness: "Wei Zheng, how could I not have thought of what you said?"

However, the current situation is a bit complicated, and Li Shimin has no way to directly say that I took the computer.

When Wei Zheng heard this, he raised his brows and seemed a little surprised.

I really didn't expect that Li Shimin still didn't admit it.

He really didn't expect why Li Shimin didn't admit his fault directly.

However, he did not show it and just continued: "Your Majesty, I know you have your own difficulties. However, after all, this matter involves the reputation and interests of Shengtang Group, as well as the livelihood of so many people. You must Give a clear explanation.”

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about countermeasures. He knew that he could not admit his mistakes so easily, otherwise it would have a great impact on his dominance. However, he couldn't just ignore it and let the Shengtang Group and the people suffer.

At this moment, Li Yun walked in. He was also frightened when he heard the conversation between Wei Zheng and Li Shimin. He knew that there were probably only three people in the world who dared to talk to Li Shimin like this. The first one is Queen Changsun, and the second one is Li Min. He can point at Li Shimin's nose and scold him. The third person is Wei Zheng in front of him.

Li Yun stood quietly aside, his eyes wandering back and forth between Wei Zheng and Li Shimin. He clearly knew his position. As a bystander, he had no qualifications or ability to intervene in this conversation. However, his heart was filled with admiration for Wei Zheng and concern for Li Shimin.

Wei Zheng's eyes were firm and fiery, like a burning flame, trying to illuminate this dark corner. He spoke again, with unquestionable firmness in his voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the stability of the Tang Dynasty and the livelihood of the people, and there must be a clear explanation. As the emperor, you should distinguish right from wrong and handle this matter fairly."

Li Shimin raised his head and met Wei Zheng's gaze. He saw the determination and expectation in Wei Zheng's eyes, and felt the heavy responsibility. He knew that Wei Zheng was right, this matter could not be left alone. However, his heart was filled with helplessness and confusion. How should he handle this? How can I maintain my dignity and give an explanation to the people at the same time?

At this moment, a breeze suddenly blew outside the window, gently swaying the curtains. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains and shines on Li Shimin's face, reflecting his thoughtful silhouette. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if searching for answers in the air.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin's silent expression and couldn't help but feel anxious. He knew that this matter could not be dragged on like this and must be resolved as soon as possible. So, he spoke again, with an unquestionable determination in his voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the future of the Tang Dynasty and the well-being of the people. You must give a clear explanation. I believe you are a wise monarch. Able to make good decisions.”

Li Yun listened with excitement. He looked at Wei Zheng's firm eyes and unflinching posture, and his heart was filled with respect. He knew that Wei Zheng was a true minister who dared to speak out and did not hesitate to offend the power of Heaven for the sake of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the well-being of the people. And what about Li Shimin? Can he accept Wei Zheng's suggestion and give a fair explanation?

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and only Wei Zheng's firm voice echoed in the office. Li Shimin finally opened his eyes, and his eyes revealed a complex emotion. He looked at Wei Zheng and said slowly: "Wei Zheng, you are right. This matter cannot be left alone. I will give you a clear explanation."

Hearing Li Shimin's resounding promise, a happy smile gradually appeared on Wei Zheng's face. He knew that this was not only a personal respect and recognition for him, but also a solemn commitment to Shengtang Group and countless people. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin kept his word, and his statement undoubtedly brought a temporary end to the entire incident, and also gave an explanation to Wei Zheng and everyone who cared about the matter.

However, there was still a hint of worry and doubt in Wei Zheng's smile. He knew that although things had turned around, the real result was still unknown. How would Li Shimin handle this matter? Will he really admit his fault? All this is an unknown. Wei Zheng understood that he could not just relax his vigilance and needed to continue to observe the development of the situation. Li Yun stood aside, looking at Wei Zheng's complicated expression, and couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart. He knew that Wei Zheng's worries were not unreasonable. Although Li Shimin promised to give an explanation, no one can predict how he will act. Li Yun could only pray silently, hoping that things would develop in a good direction.

The sunlight outside the window shines through the gaps in the curtains into the office, forming mottled light and shadow. In this quiet and solemn atmosphere, Wei Zheng, Li Shimin and Li Yun's thoughts were turbulent. They are all waiting for the unknown result, and they are all praying for the future of Datang and the well-being of the people.

Time seemed to become extremely long at this moment, and every second was full of tension and anticipation. Wei Zheng's eyes never left Li Shimin's face, and he was looking for possible hidden clues and hints. Li Shimin, on the other hand, sat there quietly, seeming to be thinking about his next move. Li Yun was waiting anxiously on the sidelines, his heart filled with admiration for Wei Zheng and expectations for Li Shimin.

Hearing Li Shimin's deep and firm voice, Wei Zheng's worries seemed to dissipate a lot. He knew very well that Li Shimin's behavior, although sometimes harsh, was always a monarch who knew right from wrong and valued people's livelihood. He believed that since Li Shimin promised to give a clear explanation, he would try his best to fulfill it.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng's trusting gaze and couldn't help but feel a burst of complicated emotions in his heart. He knew that he was indeed biased in this matter and did not consider the interests of the people and the Shengtang Group. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Wei Zheng, it is our great fortune that you are here to speak out and give advice to the Tang Dynasty and its people. Although you are no longer the victim of this incident, I am deeply concerned about this incident. I feel guilty. I did not consider the interests of the people and Shengtang Group and let the matter develop to this point. I apologize to you and all the people who care about this matter."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the entire office fell into a brief silence. When Wei Zheng heard Li Shimin's apology, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. He knew that Li Shimin was a responsible monarch who had the courage to admit his mistakes and apologize, which in itself was a rare quality. He bowed deeply, his voice choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, I have accepted your apology. I believe that under your leadership, the Tang Dynasty will become more prosperous."

Li Yun stood aside, watching this scene, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that this storm had finally been resolved satisfactorily. Li Shimin's apology not only gave Wei Zheng and the people an explanation, but also demonstrated his responsibility and ambition as a monarch. He believed that in the future of the Tang Dynasty, there would be more outspoken ministers like Wei Zheng who would contribute to the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people.

Although Li Shimin admitted his inappropriate handling of the matter and expressed his apology to Wei Zheng and the people, he never admitted his mistake when he talked about the computer theft incident. There was a hint of firmness and stubbornness in his tone, as if he had a bottom line he didn't want to touch. Wei Zheng keenly caught this, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Wei Zheng knew very well that Li Shimin, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had supreme authority and status, but he seemed to be evasive and hesitant on this matter. What Wei Zheng wants is a clear answer, an explanation that can reassure Shengtang Group and the people. He wanted Li Shimin to admit that he had taken away the computer. Only in this way could the mystery be completely solved and everything get back on track.

However, Li Shimin didn't seem to admit it at all. He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, considering the possible consequences of admitting his mistake. Wei Zheng looked at his hesitant expression and couldn't help feeling anxious. He knew that if Li Shimin could not face up to his mistakes, the interests of Shengtang Group and the people would not be protected.

So, does Li Shimin really want to see the decline of Shengtang Group? Wei Zheng couldn't help but have such doubts in his mind. He knew that Li Shimin was a wise monarch who had always worked hard for the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people. However, in this matter, his attitude made Wei Zheng feel confused and puzzled.

Wei Zheng decided to speak again. He hoped that through his words, Li Shimin would realize his mistakes and assume his due responsibilities. He took a deep breath and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I know you are a wise monarch, but in this matter, you must face your mistakes. Only in this way can the Shengtang Group and the people truly Rest assured. I hope you will seriously consider my suggestion and give a clear explanation.”

Li Shimin frowned as he listened to Wei Zheng's words, seeming to be thinking about something. Wei Zheng waited quietly for his response. He knew that the outcome of this dialogue would be directly related to the future of Shengtang Group and the well-being of the people.

After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Li Shimin's brows were still furrowed, as if an unsolvable puzzle was placed in front of him. His eyes wandered back and forth on Wei Zheng's face, as if he was looking for answers, and seemed to be trying to decipher Wei Zheng's inner thoughts. He knew that Wei Zheng's words were not groundless, but out of deep concern for the country and the people. This concern was also a heavy burden on Li Shimin's own heart.

However, Li Shimin does have his own considerations and difficulties regarding computer theft. It's not that he doesn't want to admit his mistakes, but the mistakes involved are too complicated and once he admits them, it may trigger more chain reactions. What he needs to consider is not only the feelings of Wei Zheng and the people, but also the stability and prosperity of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Perhaps Li Shimin really didn't want to admit this mistake. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he has always maintained majesty and authority. Admitting mistakes is a challenge and a humiliation for him. He is afraid that if he admits it, it will damage his image and status, and may even cause dissatisfaction and turmoil in both the government and the opposition.

Or maybe Li Shimin has thought of other ways to solve this problem. He may be investigating secretly, looking for clues about the stolen computer; he may be discussing countermeasures with his subordinates, hoping to find a solution that can not only safeguard his dignity, but also give an explanation to the people.

In any case, Li Shimin did not reveal his true thoughts in front of Wei Zheng. He took a deep breath, tried to calm the turbulence in his heart, and then slowly said: "Wei Zheng, I understand your intention. But this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I need time to find out the truth. Please Trust me, I will give you a satisfactory explanation.”

Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin's firm and complicated eyes, and couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He knew that although Li Shimin's words sounded sincere, the profound meaning contained in them was unpredictable. He could only accept this reality silently, hoping that Li Shimin could really give a satisfactory explanation as he said. (End of chapter)
