The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2351

Li Shimin stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night scene in the distance. The starry sky seemed to indicate the grand plan in his heart. His eyes were deep, like stars in the night sky, shining with determination and wisdom.

He wanted to bring the Shengtang Group in Qingzhou under the imperial court, and this idea had already taken root in his mind. Li Min has been absent from Shengtang Group recently, and this is a rare opportunity for him. As an emperor, he naturally has the power to intervene in civil affairs, but this time he wants to do it more skillfully and safely.

Li Shimin knew the importance of Shengtang Group. It was not only the economic pillar of Qingzhou, but also the hope of Datang's future. He wanted to bring this bright pearl into the arms of the imperial court and let its light shine on the entire Tang Dynasty. However, he also understood that this was not an easy task. Shengtang Group was Li Min's hard work and he was responsible for it. If you want to intervene, you must be careful and step by step.

He began to think of various possible means in his mind. Perhaps the Shengtang Group can be attracted to join the imperial court through policy support, or trusted officials can be dispatched to its interior to gradually understand its operations. But no matter what method is adopted, it must be ensured that it will not arouse Li Min's alertness and disgust.

Li Shimin couldn't help but frown, his heart full of worry. He knew that Li Min was an extremely smart person and would definitely be on guard once he became aware of his intentions. Moreover, there must be many backbones loyal to Li Min within the Shengtang Group, and it is not easy to conquer them easily.

However, he did not give up. On the contrary, a glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes. He was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he had enough wisdom and means to realize his plan. As long as he was careful and cautious, he would be able to successfully bring the Shengtang Group under the control of the court.

Fang Xuanling has been standing behind Li Shimin, silently observing his expression. He was well aware of Li Shimin's ambitions and the importance of this plan to Datang. He secretly admired in his heart that he was indeed a wise and powerful emperor, who could always grasp the lifeline of the country at critical moments.

He stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, this matter needs long-term consideration. After all, Shengtang Group is Li Min's hard work. If we act rashly, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement. He was well aware of Fang Xuanling's resourcefulness and knew that his worries were not unnecessary. So he said: "What Fang Qing said is absolutely true. We really need to plan carefully to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

He turned to look out the window, thinking about various possible strategies in his mind. He knew that this struggle was not only a test of wisdom and strategy, but also a test of perseverance and patience. He must move forward carefully without any oversights or mistakes.

Queen Changsun was talking softly to the maids on the side. Her eyes turned to Li Shimin from time to time, her eyes full of admiration and love. She knew that her husband was an emperor with great ambitions, and every decision he made was for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the well-being of the people. She prayed silently for him that he would succeed in his plan.

Officials were talking on the other side. They were both surprised and excited about Li Shimin's decision. What was surprising was that the emperor valued a private group so much; what was exciting was that this might be a good opportunity for them to show their talents and make contributions to the Tang Dynasty. They all expressed their willingness to serve the imperial court and jointly promote the development of Shengtang Group.

It was late at night, but the lights in the palace were still bright. Li Shimin continued to discuss the details with the officials, while Fang Xuanling recorded the key points. Empress Changsun also joined the discussion, and her wisdom and insights provided a lot of inspiration to everyone.

It wasn't until late at night that everyone dispersed one after another. They know that tonight's discussion is just the beginning. In the following days, they will work together to promote the development of Shengtang Group and contribute to the prosperity of Datang.

Li Shimin stayed alone in front of the window, looking at the night scene in the distance. His heart was full of expectations and confidence. He knew that as long as they worked together, they would be able to successfully bring Shengtang Group under the imperial court and add more glory to the future of Datang.

The next day, Li Shimin got up early. Wearing a brocade robe, he walked steadily to the window and stared out the window with burning eyes. At this time, the rising sun shed golden light and illuminated the entire palace. He took a deep breath, feeling the fresh morning air, and his heart was filled with anticipation and determination.

Qingzhou City in the distance loomed in his sight. It was a bustling and modern city scene with rows of high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and people coming and going. Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little shocked. He didn't expect Qingzhou's development to be so rapid, and it was not inferior to Chang'an City.

He secretly sighed in his heart, how capable the Shengtang Group was, and it was able to promote the development of the entire Qingzhou and make the city glow with such vitality. He couldn't help but become more interested in the Shengtang Group, and became more determined to bring it under the imperial court.

However, he also understands that this will not be easy. Shengtang Group is Li Min's hard work and the economic pillar of Qingzhou. It is not easy to conquer it easily. He must act with care and without any oversight.

At this time, Queen Changsun also got up. She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress and walked over. The palace attire was mainly dark purple, embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns outlined in gold thread, which made it look both noble and elegant. Her gait is calm and elegant, as if she is stepping on the clouds with every step. There was a faint smile on her face, but there was some concern in her eyes.

Seeing Li Shimin standing in front of the window, she asked softly: "Your Majesty, are you thinking about national affairs so early?" Her voice revealed respect and concern for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin turned around and said with a smile: "Queen, you're up. I'm thinking about how to take over the Shengtang Group in Qingzhou." His eyes shone with determination and wisdom, as if he was already confident.

Hearing this, Empress Changsun frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for him...Although this child usually doesn't get along with you, he has devoted all his efforts to the Shengtang Group. If he acts rashly, I'm afraid he will Counterproductive." Her voice was full of concern and worry for Li Min.

Li Shimin gently held Empress Changsun's hand and said comfortingly: "Queen, I know you are worried. But I am not doing this to target him, but for the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty. Shengtang Group has huge development potential, and it is important to The economy of the Tang Dynasty has a decisive influence. I want to bring it under the jurisdiction of the imperial court to better play its role. "

Empress Changsun sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, I understand your intention. But Min'er is young and energetic after all. If he learns about this, I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied. Should we consider a more secure approach? ?”

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said: "What the Queen said is reasonable. We can start with policy support and give Shengtang Group more support and benefits to let it feel the sincerity of the court. At the same time, we can also secretly observe his reaction, Find an appropriate time to communicate with him.”

Queen Changsun nodded in agreement. She was well aware of Li Shimin's wisdom and decisiveness, and believed that he could handle the matter properly. She gently held Li Shimin's hand and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. I just hope that we can find a way to safeguard the interests of Datang while taking into account Min'er's feelings." Although She found this difficult, but no one could persuade Li Shimin not to do what he wanted to do.

So no matter what, he still has to make him feel that he can't do it before he will give up.

Li Shimin smiled and patted Queen Changsun's hand and said, "Don't worry, Queen, I will handle it properly. The prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty requires the joint efforts of you and me."

The two looked at each other and smiled, filled with expectations and confidence for the future. They know that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, as long as they work together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize the prosperity and glory of the Tang Dynasty.

In the days that followed, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling often discussed how to take over the Shengtang Group in Qingzhou in the imperial study. They often talked all night long, analyzing the situation and discussing strategies. As Li Shimin's important counselor, Fang Xuanling was always able to put forward unique insights and suggestions, while Li Shimin led the direction of the entire court with his outstanding wisdom and decisiveness.

However, this is not an easy task. As the economic pillar of Qingzhou, Shengtang Group's influence has penetrated into every corner of Qingzhou and even the entire Tang Dynasty. To bring it under the jurisdiction of the imperial court requires not only a sophisticated strategy, but also enough patience and perseverance.

Li Shimin often felt great pressure. He knew that he was responsible for the prosperity and stability of the entire Tang Dynasty. Whenever he felt confused and helpless, Queen Changsun could always give him the greatest support and encouragement.

On this day, Li Shimin fell into deep thought again. He sat on the dragon chair in the Imperial Study Room, his brows furrowed and his eyes deep. He was thinking about how to properly handle the relationship with Shengtang Group without harming Datang's interests.

At this time, Queen Changsun walked gently to his side. She was wearing an elegant palace dress, with long hair shawl, and an elegant temperament. There was a gentle smile on her face, and her eyes revealed her deep love for Li Shimin.

She gently held Li Shimin's hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. We are all working hard for the future of Datang. No matter what the outcome is, we will face it calmly."

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at the gentle but firm eyes of Queen Changsun. The confusion and helplessness in his heart disappeared instantly. He held Queen Changsun's hand tightly and said: "The Queen is right, we cannot give up. For the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty, we must continue to work hard."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their faith and determination becoming stronger. They know that as long as they work together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize the prosperity and glory of the Tang Dynasty.

In the following days, Li Shimin, Queen Changsun and Fang Xuanling continued to discuss how to take over the Shengtang Group in Qingzhou. They constantly adjust their strategies and find more suitable times and methods. At the same time, they also strengthened their understanding and attention of Li Min, hoping to better communicate and cooperate with him.

Finally, in the dead of night, Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Fang Xuanling gathered to discuss in the imperial study and finally found a suitable way to deal with the Shengtang Group in Qingzhou. After a long period of careful consideration, they decided to adopt a moderate and clever strategy, starting with policy support and gradually closing the relationship with Shengtang Group.

Li Shimin solemnly announced: "I have decided to give Shengtang Group more support and benefits, whether it is tax exemptions or market access, so that they can feel the sincerity and goodwill of the court. In this way, they will naturally be willing to cooperate with us, Let’s jointly promote the economic development of Datang.”

Queen Changsun nodded in agreement, and added: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. We must not only provide them with material support, but also give them spiritual encouragement and affirmation. Let them know that the imperial court sincerely hopes that they can develop better. ”

Fang Xuanling also echoed: "What the Empress said is absolutely true. In addition, we can also send envoys to Qingzhou to have in-depth communication and exchanges with Li Min. Only by understanding his real thoughts and needs can we make better plans Cooperation plan.”

As a result, the imperial court took action immediately. On the one hand, it formulated a series of preferential policies for the Shengtang Group, and on the other hand, it selected experienced envoys to Qingzhou.

However, when Li Min learned of the court's intentions, his reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. He smiled, a slightly sarcastic smile. He felt that the court's move was a bit ridiculous, because in his opinion, it was not easy to take away the Shengtang Group.

Li Min was well aware of the importance of his Tang Dynasty Group to the Tang Dynasty and his influence in the court. He understood that if Li Shimin wanted to take away the Shengtang Group, he must get his approval. Now, he does intend to sell Shengtang Group, but this does not mean that he will hand it over to the court easily.

As a result, Li Min began to release news, expressing his willingness to cooperate with the imperial court to jointly promote the development of Shengtang Group. His move surprised the court and made Li Shimin hesitate.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, his brows furrowed and his heart full of confusion. He knew Li Min too well and knew that although this young man was cynical on the outside, he was extremely shrewd on the inside. The more times this happens, the less he dares to make a decision easily.

Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin's hesitation, she walked to him gently and held his hand. Her eyes shone with a firm yet gentle light, which seemed to dispel all the doubts in Li Shimin's heart. She said gently: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although Li Min is smart, we are not without countermeasures. As long as we stay calm and patient, I believe we will be able to find a solution."

Although Queen Changsun prefers to side with Li Min, she is well aware of Li Min's talent and potential, and also understands his deep feelings for Shengtang Group. However, as a queen, she knew better that the stability and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was the ultimate goal. Therefore, she hoped that Li Shimin could retreat despite the difficulties and not force Li Min too much, so as not to cause unnecessary conflicts and contradictions.

However, she also understood Li Shimin's determination and perseverance. Once this wise monarch makes up his mind, he will not give up easily. She looked at Li Shimin's furrowed brows and thoughtful expression, and couldn't help but feel worried.

Even now, Li Shimin is still worried about Li Min's feelings and interests. Queen Changsun couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It seemed that the Shengtang Group would not be able to win this time.
