The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Li Yun walked heavily on his way back to the palace. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his worried face, and the golden light and shadow seemed to add a bit more weight to his inner troubles. He walked through the long palace corridor, and every step seemed to carry a heavy weight. The friction between the soles of his shoes and the ground echoed in the empty palace, as if telling his inner anxiety and uneasiness.

When he finally entered Li Shimin's palace and saw the majestic emperor sitting on the dragon throne, he felt even more uneasy. He knew that the news he was bringing was extremely important, but he didn't know how to say it, for fear of accidentally offending Tianwei.

Li Shimin's eyes were as bright as a torch. He was sitting on the dragon chair, like a majestic mountain peak, calm and powerful. His eyes were fixed on Li Yun, as if waiting for the young prince to bring him the long-awaited good news.

Li Yun took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to step forward. Although his voice was trembling, he tried to remain calm and said: "Father, there is news about General Cheng."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with joy, and his tone revealed expectation: "Really? It's still the Shengtang Group. So where are they? Why don't they contact me?"

Li Yun replied: "They are on their way to Nanzhou now. As for why they don't contact us, it's because they don't have communication equipment like us, nor do they have advanced technology like us, so they can't get in touch with you, Father."

After listening to Li Yun's explanation, Li Shimin nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the answer. He pondered for a moment and then asked: "How did they know the location of Nanzhou?"

Li Yun hesitated for a moment. He knew that this question involved the secrets of Shengtang Group, but thinking of Li Shimin's identity and status, he finally chose to tell the truth: "Father, it's positioning. Shengtang Group has an advanced positioning technology , Just like the positioning on our mobile phones, they found the location of General Cheng and Master Fang. "

After hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with surprise. He was once again shocked by the strength of Shengtang Group, and at the same time he also became very interested in this magical positioning technology. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This technology is so miraculous that it can actually locate a person's location. Shengtang Group really deserves its reputation."

Li Yun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Shimin showing strong interest in positioning technology. He knew that although the news he brought back this time was difficult, at least Li Shimin's trust in him was not in vain. He was secretly grateful for his caution and tact, and at the same time he stared at Li Shimin expectantly, wanting to get a glimpse of how the emperor would deal with this difficult problem next.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, frowning, as if he was carefully weighing the pros and cons of this technology. He recalled the positioning function in his new mobile phone, and he felt an indescribable complex emotion in his heart. The convenience and security risks brought by positioning technology are constantly intertwined and colliding in his mind.

Suddenly, Li Shimin suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Yun, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He asked in a deep voice: "So, they also know where I am?"

Li Yun was stunned by Li Shimin's sudden question. He felt panicked and didn't know how to answer. He knew that Li Shimin valued privacy very much. If he knew that Shengtang Group could locate his location at any time, it would probably cause an uproar.

He hesitated and said: "This... I don't know very well either."

Seeing Li Yun hesitant and silent, Li Shimin became even more doubtful. He knew Li Yun's character well and knew that he would not hide anything without reason. But now, facing this problem, Li Yun seemed so hesitant and uneasy, which made Li Shimin start to wonder if there was something hidden in it.

He pondered for a moment, and his tone revealed unquestionable majesty: "Just say yes or no."

Li Yun knew that he could no longer hide it, so he had to bite the bullet and replied: "Yes, father. Shengtang Group can indeed locate your location."

After hearing this, Li Shimin's face darkened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He was well aware of the strength and methods of the Shengtang Group, but he would never allow them to spy on his whereabouts so easily. He began to think about how to deal with this sudden change, and at the same time, he was also thinking about how to strengthen the security measures of the palace to ensure his own safety.

Li Yun stood aside, feeling uneasy. He knew that the news he brought this time not only troubled Li Shimin, but also put him in a dilemma. He didn't know how he should deal with the next situation and could only wait silently for Li Shimin's decision.

At this time, the atmosphere in the palace became extremely tense. Li Shimin's eyes glanced back and forth over Li Yun, as if looking for some clues. Li Yun, on the other hand, lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Shimin for fear of accidentally offending Tianwei.

After a long time, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly heavy, and Li Shimin finally spoke to break the long silence. Although his voice was calm, it revealed unquestionable majesty: "You immediately send an order to the Shengtang Group and ask them to stop this positioning behavior immediately. At the same time, strengthen the security measures of the palace to ensure my safety."

After hearing this, Li Yun felt hesitant in his heart. He knew Li Shimin's character well and knew that once the emperor made up his mind, he would not change easily. But at the same time, he also understood the strength of Shengtang Group and knew that they were not enemies, but partners. Therefore, he tried to defend Shengtang Group: "Father, this... they don't seem to have any special threat to you. After all, Shengtang Group is owned by Sixth Brother. Although Sixth Brother has conflicts with you, In fact, he will not be detrimental to you, and there is still Concubine Yang in the palace, as well as Her Royal Highness the Queen...and..."

Li Shimin frowned slightly after listening to Li Yun's words, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "But I always feel weird in my heart." His words revealed an indescribable uneasiness. After all, his position was exposed, and he would feel uncomfortable no matter what he said. It was like being watched, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Li Yun quickly explained: "Father, you think too much. It's impossible, no, you are safe. Moreover, Shengtang Group cannot be very precise about this positioning. It can only The determined range is about ten feet, and the error is too large to pose a threat." He tried to use these words to calm Li Shimin's emotions and let him not worry too much.

Li Shimin's brows relaxed a little after listening to Li Yun's explanation. He knew that what Li Yun said was true. Shengtang Group's positioning technology did have errors and could not accurately pinpoint an individual's specific location. But the uneasiness in his heart was not completely eliminated. After all, this technology itself made him feel uneasy.

He pondered for a moment, his eyes wandering around every corner of the palace, seeming to be looking for some kind of answer. Finally, he took a deep breath and decided to temporarily accept Li Yun's suggestion and not pursue the matter too much. However, the uneasiness in his heart did not completely dissipate. He understood that he must strengthen the security measures at the palace to ensure his own safety. Li Shimin knew very well that as an emperor, his safety was related to the stability of the entire country. No potential danger can be ignored. Therefore, he decided not only to strengthen the patrols and guards of the palace, but also to pay close attention to the movements of the Shengtang Group to prevent them from abusing positioning technology.

He spoke to Li Yun again: "You pass the decree to the Shengtang Group and ask them to be careful and not abuse this positioning technology. At the same time, strengthen the patrols and guards of the palace to ensure my safety. My safety is related to the national plan. , you must do your best and make no mistakes.”

After hearing this, Li Yun quickly responded: "Yes, father. I will take care of it now." He knew in his heart that Li Shimin was very concerned about his safety, which also made him feel a little pressure. But he also understands that this is his responsibility and he must do his best to complete it.

However, before leaving, Li Yun suddenly thought of another thing. He hesitated for a moment, his eyes moving on Li Shimin's face, trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts. He knew that what he was about to say might touch on some sensitive topics, but he felt that as the prince, he had the responsibility to tell Li Shimin these things. Finally, he mustered up the courage, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Father, I have something to tell you."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Yun with burning eyes, as if waiting for his next words. He had already noticed Li Yun's hesitation and nervousness, but he didn't show it and just waited quietly.

Li Yun calmed down and continued: "It's about Sixth Brother."

Li Shimin frowned slightly. He knew that Li Yun had always had a lot of conflicts with him, but he didn't expect that Li Yun would mention him at this time. He asked in a deep voice: "What is it about him?"

Li Yun hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak out: "It's about General Cheng and the others."

As soon as Li Shimin heard about Cheng Yaojin, a complex emotion immediately surged in his heart. Cheng Yaojin, this extremely brave and loyal general, has always been his right-hand man, serving him through life and death without any complaints. He could not stay out of anything that happened to Cheng Yaojin. He frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "What happened to them? Did something happen to them?"

Li Yun took a deep breath, knowing that the situation at this moment did not allow him to hesitate or conceal anything. He calmed down and replied calmly: "Father, when I asked Wei Zheng about the whereabouts of Cheng Yaojin and the others, Sixth Brother Li Min should have noticed your intention. Wei Zheng is Sixth Brother's right-hand man, he Naturally, you have to report to Sixth Brother when doing things, so Er Chen guesses that Sixth Brother already knows that you are looking for their whereabouts."

After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He originally thought that this matter was done secretly enough, but he didn't expect that Li Min would notice it. Moreover, he did not expect that Li Yun would tell him all this so frankly. He thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "How did you learn about this?"

Li Yun explained: "Father, when Erchen asked Wei Zheng, although he didn't say anything on the surface, Erchen could feel his hesitation and concerns from his attitude and words. As a loyal subordinate of Sixth Brother, he , Naturally, we cannot go against Sixth Brother's wishes. Therefore, Erchen guessed that Sixth Brother might have known your intentions. This was also deduced by Erchen based on Wei Zheng's attitude and reaction, and Erchen did not ask him directly. "

After hearing this, Li Shimin's expression became more solemn. He was well aware of Li Min's methods and scheming, and also knew that he had been secretly competing with him. This time he was able to detect his intentions, which showed that his eyes were spread all over the government and the public. This made him feel very uneasy and wary.

He asked again in a deep voice: "Then what do you think Li Min will do?"

Li Yun hesitated slightly, his heart was like a turbulent river, with turbulent waves. He knew very well that what he faced at this moment was not only a simple problem, but also a contest in a political whirlpool. This issue involves the power struggle within the imperial court, and every word and sentence may lead to unpredictable consequences. If something goes wrong, you and your family may be involved, and it may even trigger a larger political turmoil.

Li Yun is a very smart person, and he understands that in such situations, remaining silent may be the wisest choice. He cannot easily reveal his true thoughts, let alone speculate on other people's intentions. However, he also knew that since his father Li Shimin raised this question, he must give an answer. He needs to find a balance between caution and candor.

So, he carefully replied: "Father, I don't dare to speculate on Brother Liu's thoughts. He has a deep mind and decisive actions, and it is difficult for us to see his true intentions from the surface. However, Erchen feels that Liu brother The reason why I want to know this may be because he feels that this is a major matter related to the stability of the court and wants to know more about the situation. "

Li Yun's words not only expressed his cautious attitude, but also hinted at Li Min's possible motives. In this way, he tried to guide Li Shimin to think about Li Min's true intentions.

However, Li Shimin did not respond immediately. He glanced deeply at Li Yun, seeming to be thinking about the deeper meaning of his words. He knew that although Li Yun's answer was cautious, it also revealed some information. He began to think, why was Li Min so concerned about the whereabouts of Cheng Yaojin and the others? Is there a larger political conspiracy hidden behind this?

In fact, Li Shimin also understood in his heart that many things were determined by his heart. If he thought there was nothing wrong with Li Min's actions, then this matter would not be a problem. But if he feels there is something fishy, ​​then he must investigate in depth to find out the truth of the matter.

As for Wei Zheng's report to Li Min, Li Shimin also knew it well. He knew that Wei Zheng was Li Min's loyal subordinate, so it was reasonable for him to report certain things to him on a daily basis. But the key is, what is the content of Wei Zheng's report? Does it involve the confidentiality and stability of the court? This is what Li Shimin really cares about.

"So, what else did Wei Zheng say specifically? Was it about the secrets of the imperial court?"

Li Shimin asked.

"No, no, no, I was present at that time. He just said something, that is, I asked General Cheng about the whereabouts of the two of them." Li Yun said immediately. (End of chapter)
