The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2345

Li Min was sitting in the study room. The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the breeze was blowing through the window screen, bringing a bit of coolness. He was playing with an exquisite jade cup in his hand, his eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about the mysteries between heaven and earth. The sunlight filtered through the window screen and shone dappledly on his face, reflecting his resolute outline. There is always a faint smile on his face, and he seems to have already understood all the disputes in the world.

The study room was filled with a faint fragrance of ink, and the ancient books on the bookshelf were neatly displayed. Each one seemed to contain endless wisdom. Li Min's eyes occasionally glanced at these books, as if looking for some kind of answer.

At this time, he had already understood the conspiracy between Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, but he had not revealed it. He knew very well that this one was an important minister of the imperial court and the other was the emperor. It was really a bold move to want to sideline the Shengtang Group. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about how to deal with this situation.

Just as Li Min was deep in thought, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the study. He looked up and saw Di Renjie walking in with an anxious look on his face. Di Renjie's brows were furrowed, and his eyes flashed with anxiety, as if something big was about to happen.

"Sir! There is an emergency!" Di Renjie said eagerly as soon as he entered the door. There was a tremor in his voice, obviously shocked by what happened.

However, Li Min put down the jade cup in his hand leisurely and said calmly: "Why are you so panicked? Tell me slowly." His tone was calm and steady, as if no matter what happened, he could handle it calmly.

Seeing how calm Li Min was, Di Renjie couldn't help but feel anxious. He is well aware of the seriousness of this matter, and if it is not dealt with in time, it may trigger a series of chain reactions.

"Sir, this matter is related to the future of Your Majesty and Shengtang Group. I must tell you immediately!" Di Renjie said with a hint of panic in his tone. His hands were clasped together, as if seeking some kind of strength.

Li Min raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little amused by Di Renjie's panic. He said slowly: "Go on, I'm listening." His eyes fell on Di Renjie's face, as if encouraging him to continue talking.

Di Renjie took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "Your Majesty has begun to inject capital into Shengtang Group, and plans to gradually intervene in it." After he said this, he nervously observed Li Min's reaction. .

When Li Min heard this, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had already expected this step, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin would be so urgent. He shook his head slightly, as if lamenting the vagaries of the world.

"Really?" he said calmly. Although his voice was calm, there was a sharp gleam in his eyes.

Seeing that Li Min didn't seem to care, Di Renjie couldn't help but feel a little confused. He couldn't help but ask: "Sir, aren't you worried? If your Majesty does this, Shengtang Group may..." There was a hint of worry and uneasiness in his voice.

This is something that most people can think of.

Li Min waved his hand and interrupted Di Renjie's words. He said calmly: "What's the use of worrying? The matter has reached this point, we can only let nature take its course." There was a hint of helplessness and relief in his tone, as if he had seen through it all.

When Di Renjie heard this, he felt even more puzzled. He didn't understand why Li Min was so calm and composed. In his opinion, this was a major event related to the future of Shengtang Group. How could it be handled so lightly?

Li Min seemed to see through his mind. He smiled slightly and said, "It's time to make a break with the Shengtang Group in Chang'an."

When Di Renjie heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stood frozen on the spot. He stared at Li Min with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears. The Shengtang Group in Chang'an was established by Li Min, and it was their common dream and pursuit. Now Li Min said he wanted to give it up, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

"What?" Di Renjie exclaimed, unable to understand Li Min's words at all. His heart was full of doubts and confusion. He didn't understand why Li Min did this.

Li Min looked at Di Renjie's reaction and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He knew that Di Renjie had deep feelings for Shengtang Group, but he also understood that sometimes for the sake of greater interests and goals, some difficult choices must be made.

He sighed softly and said, "Di Renjie, do you know how I have always viewed Chang'an Shengtang Group?" There was a hint of heaviness and seriousness in his voice.

Di Renjie raised his head, looked into Li Min's eyes, and waited for his answer.

Li Min continued: "The Shengtang Group in Chang'an was once our joint effort, a place where we poured countless dreams and enthusiasm. However, as time goes by, it gradually becomes no longer the place we first met. Appearance. The intervention of the imperial court made it lose its original purity and independence and became a victim of the power struggle. "

His words revealed a deep sense of helplessness and loss, as if he was holding a moment of silence for the past days. Di Renjie listened quietly, and he could feel Li Min's inner struggle and pain.

Li Min sighed slightly and continued: "We cannot restrain ourselves because of temporary emotions. Although Chang'an's Shengtang Group was once brilliant, it can no longer bring us more value. We need It is a Shengtang Group that can truly be used by us and create more value for us.”

There was a sense of determination and decisiveness in his words, as if he had already made some kind of decision. Di Renjie was shocked. He realized that Li Min might have planned to give up Chang'an Shengtang Group.

"Sir, what do you mean..." Di Renjie asked tentatively.

Li Min nodded and said, "It's time to make a choice. We can't tie our hands and feet because of Chang'an's Shengtang Group. What we need is a broader sky and a freer stage."

Di Renjie was speechless. He understood what Li Min meant, but he still felt a little reluctant. Chang'an's Shengtang Group was their joint effort, and giving it up meant giving up a beautiful memory.

Li Min seemed to see Di Renjie's thoughts. He patted Di Renjie's shoulder lightly and said, "Di Renjie, you and I both know that the essence of business is to pursue maximizing profits. Chang'an's Shengtang Group can no longer bring us It will bring more benefits. On the contrary, it may become a burden for us. What we need is Shengtang Group in Dongzhou, which has a broader market and more opportunities.”

When Di Renjie heard this, the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated. He understood Li Min's intentions and determination, and decided to support his decision.

However, they all know that this is just a new beginning. Giving up the Shengtang Group in Chang'an does not mean the end, on the contrary, it is just a new starting point. They will embark on a journey again with their own dreams and beliefs to find their own Shengtang Group.

When Di Renjie heard this, he couldn't help but feel touched. He began to understand Li Min's thoughts and decisions, although he still had some reluctance and regret in his heart.

Li Min added: "We can give up the Shengtang Group in Chang'an, but we cannot give up our ideals and pursuits. As long as we have dreams in our hearts, we can re-establish our Shengtang Group."

Li Min did not explain, but continued: "The Shengtang Group in Chang'an has now lost its former glory. The value it can generate is far less than before. And what I need is a stronger, more powerful A dynamic Shengtang Group.”

Di Renjie was confused. He didn't understand Li Min's plan at all.

Li Min didn't seem to care about his doubts. He continued: "Li Shimin wants Shengtang Group, so give it to him. But he must pay the price for it."

Di Renjie finally understood something. He looked at Li Min in surprise, as if he wanted to see more from his face. Li Min just smiled faintly, and then said: "Go and tell Li Shimin that if he wants Shengtang Group, he must do it on my terms."

Di Renjie nodded, turned and left. Silence returned to the study room again, leaving only Li Min sitting alone in front of the window, looking deeply into the distance.

The sunlight outside the window gradually slanted to the west, and the sky gradually darkened. Li Min didn't seem to notice the passage of time. He was still sitting there, thinking about the way forward.

As night falls, the lights in the study come on. Li Min still sat there, motionless. He still had that faint smile on his face, as if he had seen through the chaos and disputes in the world.

He knew that there was still a long way to go, and he was already prepared.

After listening to Li Min's words, Di Renjie's doubts and confusion gradually dissipated. He understood Li Min's intentions and determination, and decided to support his decision.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding. The atmosphere in the study also became relaxed, as if it had returned to the peace of the past.

However, the calm is only temporary. The sky outside the window suddenly became gloomy, and the clouds were dense, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. Li Min raised his head and looked out the window, his brows furrowed, as if he felt some kind of uneasiness.

He stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the distant sky. Upon seeing this, Di Renjie also walked to his side. The two stood side by side, silently observing the changes in the sky.

"Sir, do you think there is a bigger conspiracy behind His Majesty's move?" Di Renjie asked in a low voice.

Li Min withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Di Renjie, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's heart is unfathomable. All we can do is stay vigilant and adapt to changes."

Di Renjie nodded, indicating that he understood. He knew that Li Min's wisdom and strategy were far superior to his own, and believed that he could lead him out of this predicament.

The two returned to sit down at the desk and began to discuss how to deal with the upcoming changes. Li Min frowned, thinking about countermeasures; Di Renjie was recording key points and was always ready to execute Li Min's orders.

The atmosphere in the study became tense, and both of them knew that this incident was no small matter. However, they also understand that as long as they have dreams and faith in their hearts, they can overcome all difficulties.

At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the study. The two looked at each other and knew in their hearts that the storm was coming. They stood up, straightened their clothes, and prepared themselves for the upcoming challenge.

The person outside the door pushed in, bringing a gust of cold wind. Li Min and Di Renjie looked and saw a guard walking in with an anxious look on his face.

"Sir! Lord Di Renjie! Something bad has happened!" There was a hint of trembling in the guard's voice.

Li Min and Di Renjie looked at each other and knew in their hearts that things were indeed developing in an uncontrollable direction as they expected.

"Why are you so panicked?" Li Min asked in a deep voice.

The guard took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "His Majesty has ordered that all the properties of Shengtang Group be involved in the acquisition. Now Shengtang Group is very urgent!"

When Li Min heard this, a chill flashed in his eyes. He had already expected that Li Shimin would take this step, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. He turned to look at Di Renjie, and saw an expression of anger and unwillingness on Di Renjie's face.

"As expected." Li Min said coldly. He stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the distant sky. The dark clouds in the sky seemed to indicate the coming storm.

Di Renjie walked to Li Min and whispered: "Sir, what should we do?"

Li Min withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Di Renjie. There was firmness and determination in his eyes, as if he was ready to deal with anything.

"It's time to show our strength." Li Min said in a deep voice, "We can't sit still and wait for death, we must act immediately."

Di Renjie nodded, indicating that he understood. He knew that Li Min already had a countermeasure, and believed that he could lead him out of this predicament.

So what do we do?

Di Renjie had such a question in his mind.

Yes, what should he do?

Li Min smiled, with a hint of slyness on his face. He patted Di Renjie's shoulder lightly and said, "How to do it? It's not easy. Let people talk. If the negotiation can't be concluded, then the emperor will never even think about it. What do I get here?”

When Di Renjie heard this, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes. He was well aware of Li Min's wisdom and strategy. When he heard these words, he finally understood Li Min's intentions.

"I understand, sir, it turns out you want to..." Di Renjie stopped suddenly in the middle of his words. He realized that he seemed to have gone too far. After all, these things were carefully planned by Li Min, and he should not speculate too much.

Li Min looked at Di Renjie, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He signaled Di Renjie to stop talking, and then continued: "Okay, regarding this matter, I will let Wei Zheng handle it later."

Di Renjie nodded, admiring Li Min even more in his heart. He knew that Wei Zheng was an effective general under Li Min and was good at negotiating and handling various complex affairs. Letting Wei Zheng handle this matter is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

Li Min looked at the sky outside the window, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that this battle with the imperial court had just begun, and he must remain vigilant and calm at all times. Only in this way can we remain invincible in this struggle.

And Di Renjie also understands that the days to come will be more difficult and dangerous. But he also believed that as long as they followed Li Min, they would be able to overcome the difficulties and realize their ideals and ambitions.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding. They know that there is still a long way to go, but they also believe that as long as they have dreams in their hearts, they can overcome all difficulties.
