The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Wei Zheng's eyes were like an abyss, silently locked on Li Yun. The eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to swallow everything, turning the surrounding turmoil and doubts into nothingness. He lowered his eyes slightly and gently stroked the beard with his fingers. Each beard seemed to carry the wisdom of the years and the vicissitudes of history. His eyes shone with wisdom, like a bright light, trying to penetrate the fog in Li Yun's heart and explore the deepest thoughts and doubts.

Li Yun stood opposite, worry on his face like a dark cloud. His brows were furrowed, as if he was carrying a thousand pounds of weight, and every breath seemed so heavy. His hands were clasped together, his fingertips turning slightly white from the exertion, as if he was trying to squeeze out all the tension and anxiety in his heart. Wei Zheng looked at him quietly, understanding in his heart the burden and confusion the young prince was bearing, and why he was so anxious.

Wei Zheng smiled slightly, that smile was like the spring breeze blowing on his face, with a bit of solace and relief. He spoke slowly, his voice gentle but firm: "Seventh Prince, you don't know something. The wind and waves on the sea are like the ups and downs in life, unpredictable and unpredictable. Sometimes, even the strongest ship can It will be swaying in the strong wind and waves, and the traveling speed will naturally be affected. The power of wind and waves is huge, and it can easily change the course of the ship and even cause some unexpected situations. Therefore, Cheng Yaojin and. Fang Xuanling and the others moved slowly, probably because they encountered the unstoppable wind and waves."

When Li Yun heard this, his expression relaxed a little. He nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Wei Zheng's explanation. However, there were still doubts in his mind, doubts that lingered like shadows. He frowned and said, "Sir Wei Zheng, I understand what you mean. But why didn't they report the news? Isn't there a radio on the ship? Why couldn't they convey their situation to us in time?" There was a hint of urgency in his voice. Confused, as if the doubts in his heart were burning like fire, making him unable to rest at ease.

Wei Zheng stared at Li Yun quietly, his deep eyes seemed to contain endless wisdom and profound meaning. He spoke calmly, with a hint of calmness in his voice: "Who is this radio used to inform?"

Li Yun was slightly stunned by this question. His brows wrinkled slightly, as if he was thinking about this question. Yes, the radio report was sent back to the Shengtang Group, and the court knew nothing about it. Why hadn't he thought of this before?

He was silent for a while, with a wry smile on his lips, and said, "Sir Wei Zheng, I really didn't realize this problem when you asked me."

Wei Zheng looked at him, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Seventh Prince. Now that you understand the situation of Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling, is there anything else? I have to report to my husband."

Li Yun fell into silence again, looking into the distance as if thinking about something. After a while, he sighed softly and said, "It's okay, Lord Wei Zheng. I'll go back first."

He turned and left, his back looking a little lonely and tired in the morning sun. Wei Zheng watched him leave until his figure completely disappeared from sight, and then turned and left.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and the morning sun shone through the clouds on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth and hope to the world. However, Li Yun's heart was still full of doubts and confusion.

As he walked back to the palace, he was thinking a lot. He recalled the journeys of Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling, those sea journeys full of unknowns and dangers. He recalled Wei Zheng's words, those hints about the complicated relationship between the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty Group. He couldn't help but feel an inexplicable irritability and uneasiness in his heart.

He stopped and looked up at the sky. It was a deep blue that seemed to swallow up all the troubles and worries. A few white clouds floated leisurely by, like elegant fairies dancing in the air, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down his emotions and let the chaotic thoughts settle down for the time being.

His heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness. As a prince, he shoulders too many responsibilities and missions, as if it is a heavy mountain, weighing him down and making him breathless. As long as he is still on Li Shimin's side, he will not be able to live the life he wants safely. The battles in the palace and the struggle for power made him tired and exhausted. He longs for freedom and can live a simple and peaceful life like ordinary people.

However, he also knew that he could not leave Chang'an easily, nor give up his identity and status.

He sighed deeply again, feeling helpless and bitter in his heart like a tide. He knows that he still has a long way to go, and there are still many unknown challenges and difficulties hidden on the road ahead. But no matter what, he must face it bravely and go on step by step.

He closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart. He hopes that he can find his own path that can not only fulfill his responsibilities and obligations, but also live the life he wants. He believes that as long as he keeps working hard, he will realize his dream one day.

When he opened his eyes again, there was determination and courage in them. He turned around and continued walking towards the palace. Although his steps were heavy, he was full of determination and belief.

At this moment, Wei Zheng was sitting at the desk in the study, gently turning the dial on the phone with his fingers, making a crisp "beep" sound. His eyes were focused and deep, as if he were playing a silent piece of music. The other end of the phone line was connected to Li Min's office. Wei Zheng knew that the information he was about to convey was crucial to Shengtang Group and even the entire Datang Empire.

The call was quickly connected, and Li Min's voice came from the receiver. There was a bit of laziness and casualness in that voice, but Wei Zheng knew that this was just an appearance. Li Min's heart was actually sharper and more determined than anyone else.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, then adjusted his mentality and said respectfully: "Hello, sir. Excuse me, is it convenient to talk now?"

Li Min smiled, with a hint of gentleness in his voice: "Wei Zheng, it's you. It's okay. It happens to be daytime now. If you need anything, just tell me."

Wei Zheng took a deep breath, knowing that what he said next might trigger a series of chain reactions. But he had no way out and could only tell the truth: "Sir, I just learned that your Majesty has begun to investigate the whereabouts of General Cheng."

When Li Min heard this, he frowned slightly, as if a dark cloud passed across the clear sky, and there was an undoubted seriousness in his voice: "Cheng Zhijie? As the team leader, he didn't report their whereabouts? This What an oversight!" His eyes revealed deep dissatisfaction and confusion, as if he was puzzled and disappointed by Cheng Zhijie's behavior.

Wei Zheng also looked worried. He replied: "Your Majesty, Cheng Zhijie and the others have indeed been setting off for a long time, but it is strange that they have not reported their whereabouts to the court. We have tried various methods to contact them, but none of them have been able to do so. can succeed."

After hearing this, Li Min was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about the reasons and possible effects. There was a complicated light in his eyes, as if he was weighing various possible situations and the pros and cons. Seeing this, Wei Zheng continued: "Your Majesty, I guess the reason why they did not report their whereabouts may be because they do not have the court's contact information. Even if they have a phone, they cannot contact the court because we do not have a signal to Nanzhou. layout, and they are above the vast sea, and the signal is so weak that it is almost impossible to capture.”

Li Min nodded, expressing his understanding of Wei Zheng's analysis. He pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "From this point of view, it is no wonder that they did not report it in time. However, just because of this incident, the Seventh Prince was alerted to come to ask me, is it a big deal?"

Wei Zheng replied: "Your Majesty, the reason why the Seventh Prince is so nervous may be because he is worried that this matter will affect your judgment and decision-making on the situation in Nanzhou. Moreover, he seems to be very afraid that you will have some negative influence on him after knowing this matter." punished."

Li Min smiled softly, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "This child is still too young. He panics when encountering the smallest things and cannot achieve great things."

Then Li Min was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about something. There was a deep light in his eyes, as if he was exploring the future.

After a while, he said: "Indeed, but it should be time for him to come to Dongzhou soon."

When Wei Zheng heard this, he was shocked and said quickly: "No, absolutely not. The seventh prince is still facing your majesty. If he is allowed to go to Dongzhou, your majesty may know his whereabouts one day."

Li Min smiled slightly, and that smile revealed an indescribable confidence and calmness. He shook his head gently, as if to dispel the doubts in his heart, and then said calmly: "You don't have to worry, I will naturally have a solution."

Wei Zheng looked at him, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes. He frowned, seeming to be thinking about the deeper meaning of Li Min's words. He hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Sir, what's your clever plan?"

Li Min smiled slightly, his eyes shining with wisdom. He said slowly: "When the time comes, let his family members come to Dongzhou first. This will not only ensure their safety, but also prevent the emperor from catching him. Do you understand?"

After Wei Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart. He knew there was more at stake than meets the eye. He took a deep look at Li Min. There seemed to be endless wisdom and strategy hidden in those deep eyes, making people want to explore the secrets. He was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and then said slowly: "However, the seventh prince's wife is Songtsen Gampo's sister. If she also goes to Dongzhou, Songtsen Gampo may know about it. After all, They have a deep love as brother and sister, and if something happens to her, Songtsen Gampo will not notice it."

Li Min smiled slightly, as if he was already confident. He nodded, indicating that he understood Wei Zheng's concerns, and then said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this matter. Songtsen Gampo has always had a bad relationship with the emperor, so are you still worried that he will tell it? And? , even if the emperor knows about Dongzhou, there will be nothing he can do about it. "

After Wei Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He didn't expect Li Min to be so confident, as if everything was under his control. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down the shock in his heart, and then said: "Sir, do you really think there is no problem with this? Once his whereabouts are leaked, the consequences will be disastrous."

Li Min shook his head gently, as if to dispel Wei Zheng's worries. He said slowly: "You don't have to worry too much. I have already considered these issues. I have planned Dongzhou's affairs for a long time and will not be easily noticed by others. Moreover, although the seventh prince is of royal blood, he is not in the court now. Among them, his whereabouts will not attract much attention. As long as we are secretive enough, there will be no problem. "

After Wei Zheng heard this, although he still had doubts in his heart, he was also infected by Li Min's confidence and calmness. He nodded and said he would try his best to cooperate with Li Min's plan. He knew that Li Min was a thoughtful and strategic person, and there must be a reason for his decision.

Li Min continued: "In a month, I will talk to him and see what he wants. If he is willing to go to Dongzhou, you will bring his family members to Dongzhou for me, and you must be sure to keep the ghosts secret. Jue, do you know?”

Wei Zheng nodded solemnly, his eyes revealing firmness and determination. He understands the importance of this task and the stakes involved. He understands that every action he takes may affect the overall situation, so he must always remain vigilant to ensure that everything is under Li Min's control.

"What should I do next?" Wei Zheng asked, his voice revealing a sense of eagerness and anticipation. He was eager to know the next plan so that he could better cooperate with Li Min's actions.

Li Min smiled slightly, as if he was already confident. He said slowly: "In the next few days, you have to start making secret preparations. Assemble a group of capable men and start secret operations. Remember, you must be careful and not arouse anyone's suspicion."

After Wei Zheng heard this, his heart trembled. He knew the difficulty of this task, but he also understood that as long as he had Li Min's guidance and support, he would be able to complete it. He nodded to show that he understood.

Li Min continued: "In addition to secret preparations, you also need to pay close attention to Li Yun's movements. If he makes any unusual behavior, report it to me immediately. In addition, you also need to keep in touch with Li Yun's family members to ensure their Safety."

After Wei Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. He knew that Li Min's trust and importance in him was his greatest honor. He nodded solemnly and said he would do his best to complete these tasks.

After that, everything depends on Li Yun. If Li Yun agrees to go to Dongzhou, then most of this matter will be completed. Wei Zheng will follow Li Min's instructions to bring the seventh prince's family members safely to Dongzhou to ensure their safety.

However, if Li Yun does not agree, then this matter may have to continue in the future. Wei Zheng knew that Li Min had made two preparations, and whether Li Yuntong agreed or not, it would not affect his overall situation. (End of chapter)
