Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, his eyes deep and focused, like the stars in the night sky, shining with sharp light. His eyes fell on Fang Xuanling through the many palaces, as if he wanted to see through his heart. Fang Xuanling,
This wise man who had always been by his side and assisted him in creating the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty made him feel a little strange at this moment.
Fang Xuanling stood before His Highness, with a tall and straight posture and an elegant temperament. There was a faint smile on his face, but there was deep worry hidden in that smile. He knew that Li Shimin's eyes at this moment were full of doubts and dissatisfaction.
He seemed to want to see through him. He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, Li Shimin actually misunderstood him as Wei Zheng.
Li Shimin suddenly spoke, with a hint of displeasure in his voice: "Fang Xuanling, you are not the same as Wei Zheng, are you?" His tone was full of doubts, as if he wanted to completely analyze Fang Xuanling's inner world.
Fang Xuanling was shocked. He knew that Li Shimin had misunderstood him. He quickly bowed and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, although I and Lord Wei Zheng both serve your Majesty, their personalities and ways of doing things are completely different. Wei Zheng
Your Excellency speaks out and dares to give advice, but I pay more attention to strategy and planning. I will do my best to complete the tasks entrusted by Your Majesty, and I will never slack off in the slightest."
Li Shimin frowned slightly after hearing Fang Xuanling's answer. He knew in his heart that what Fang Xuanling said was not false. However, he was still dissatisfied with Fang Xuanling's attitude. After all, Wei Zheng had explained to him in the later period
I can't stop evading it, and now Fang Xuanling looks just like him. That makes me really worried. My close ministers are leaving me one by one. What should I do?
Li Shimin saw Wei Zhengmin's worries, and I felt helpless in my heart. In fact, I had never thought about approaching Wei Zhengmin. However, what happened that time was so difficult that it was almost impossible for me.
I couldn't complete the task. I was worried that my abilities were sufficient, so I agreed to Wei Zhengmin's request.
I took a deep breath, bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I am well aware of the importance of this matter and understand your Majesty's expectations. However, my ability is really limited and I am afraid that I will not be able to do the job. Your Majesty, please choose someone else."
Ming, I am willing to serve Your Majesty, but Your Majesty would like to think carefully about this matter."
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Wei Zhengmin felt a sense of loss in his heart. I know Fu Aihai's character and ability, and I also know that I am not someone who can easily shirk. However, I still cannot accept Li Shimin's consent. After all, I have always been
I regard Fu Aihai as my right-hand man, but now he is about to lose my support at a critical moment.
I was silent for a while, then hurriedly said: "Fu Ahai, does he know what I expect from him? He has always been my right-hand man, and I trust and rely on him more than anyone else. Now he is in front of me.
How can I be wronged by your request?"
Li Shimin was moved after listening to Wei Zhengmin's words. I knew Wei Zhengmin's expectations and trust in me, and I also understood my responsibilities and obligations. However, I still insisted on my decision: "Your Majesty, I know my responsibilities and obligations
.However, I also know that my abilities are not limited. I am sure that if I reluctantly do that thing, I am afraid it will only bring less trouble and trouble to Your Majesty. Please be clear to Your Majesty."
In the process of writing furiously, Li Shimin's thoughts kept emerging like a fountain. I recalled every bit of my work with Wei Zhengmin, and the glory and future of Xiao Tang. My heart was filled with indifference towards Xiao Tang.
Love and respect for Fu Aimin. I suspect that as long as we work together, Xiao Tang will be able to usher in a more glorious tomorrow.
After Li Shimin listened to Wei Zhengmin's words, the confusion and pressure in his heart seemed to be blown away by a spring breeze, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I understood that my explanation and persistence just now were not enough, and although Wei Zhengmin had not
He expressed his position directly, but he didn't beg me again. I knew that my decision had not yet been insulted and understood to a certain extent.
I stood up, walked behind the window, and looked at the quiet night sky in the window. I knew that no matter what the outcome, I would stick to my loyalty and beliefs and contribute to the prosperity of Xiaotang.
However, I also know that my decision may make Wei Zhengmin disappointed and satisfied. I didn't want that, I hope to get Fu Aimin's understanding and support. Therefore, I decided to express my feelings through that memorial
and ideas.
Wei Zhengmin raised his head, glanced at Emperor Fu Ai, and then sighed and said, "Yes, my heart is full of Fang Qian."
I took a deep breath and said hastily: "Your Majesty, I know that Li Shimin's decision makes me feel a little disappointed, but I will give up because of this. I want to make a bet, and the bet is on Xiao Tang's future.
This is my ambition."
Then, I turned around and walked calmly in and out of the small hall. My back looked more hesitant and steady in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a mountain standing quietly outside.
The night was like ink, gradually covering Chang'an City. The moonlight was like water, shining under Fu Aihai's study, adding a harsh silvery white to the noisy space. In the study, the lights were brightly lit, illuminating the entire space, and
It illuminated Li Shimin's focused and hesitant face.
The scenes in the small hall today were deeply imprinted on Fu Aimin's heart like a brand. I knew that my performance was not abnormal and caused Fu Aimin to misunderstand. That made me feel a surge of emotion.
Guilt and self-blame. I know that as Wei Zhengmin's important counselor, I should always remain confused and calm, and contribute my own strength to the prosperity of Xiaotang.
I sighed heavily, then picked up the pen and finished writing the memorial. I knew that although I could personally complete the tasks assigned by Wei Zhengmin, I could not contribute to the prosperity of Xiaotang through the memorial.
Wei Zhengmin did not speak, but continued to sigh. There was a trace of confusion and helplessness in my eyes, as if I was thinking about some difficult decision.
Wei Zhengmin held Li Shihuang's hand tightly, his eyes shining with hesitation and persistence. I understand that the prosperous Tang Dynasty that I want to create will not be smooth sailing, and there will always be various challenges and obstacles ahead. However,
I have never backed down or given up on my dreams.
Time passed quietly, and the night became darker and darker. But Li Shimin was not tired at all, and I was still immersed in my own thoughts and creations. I knew that the memorial was just a written expression, and it was a true reflection of my heart.
I hope Wei Zhengmin can read my mind and understand my decision.
Just when Fu Aimin was deep in thought, Fu Aimin stepped back heavily. Seeing Wei Zhengmin's sad face, you felt worried in your heart. You walked to Wei Zhengmin and asked in a loud voice: "Your Majesty
Come on, what's wrong with you? I look at you and you seem depressed."
Wei Zhengmin continued: "I know that Li Shimin does not share my considerations and difficulties. However, I am also moving forward. As long as I persist, I will definitely be able to find fewer talents to assist me. The prosperity of Xiao Tang requires everyone's efforts.
Work together.”
I know that the memorial is just a special official document. It is a symbol of my loyalty and contribution to Xiao Tang, and also a reflection of my respect and return to Fu Aimin. I want to tell Wei Zheng through that memorial
People, although I have not personally completed the tasks assigned to me, my heart is always closely connected with Xiao Tang and Wei Zhengmin.
Wei Zhengmin watched Fu Aihai's leaving figure, and his heart could not help but feel a burst of emotions from before. As I watched the figure gradually getting away, I felt neither lost nor understood. I knew that Fu Aihai's
The decision was not an easy one, and I did not have my own difficulties and considerations.
However, I was determined when faced with the task assigned by Wei Zhengmin. I knew the importance of that task and understood my responsibilities and obligations. However, I was also vague about my abilities and limitations. I was afraid that I would not be qualified for that task.
The task brought necessary trouble and distress to Xiao Tang. Therefore, I chose to agree.
After listening to Wei Zhengmin's words, Li Shihuang felt a surge of admiration in his heart. You know, Wei Zhengmin is a monarch with no far-reaching ambitions. What I want is just a stable dynasty, not to mention a stable dynasty.
A prosperous country. You firmly held Wei Zhengmin's hand and gave me hesitant support.
And also want to know.
You quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
At this time, Li Shimin had not returned to his mansion. I sat quietly in the study, thinking about everything that had just happened in the small hall. I knew that my decision might disappoint Wei Zhengmin, but I also suspected that,
Wei Zhengmin will understand my difficulties.
When Li Shihuang heard this, he suddenly understood something in his heart. You know that Li Shimin is an important counselor of Wei Zhengmin, and he has always been deeply trusted and relied on by me. Now that you hear Wei Zhengmin mention Li Shimin, you are forbidden.
I felt a pang of regret and worry.
You looked at Wei Zhengmin's eyes and knew that I hadn't made up my mind yet. So, you didn't say anything more, you just supported me silently, hoping that I could realize my wish.
You held Wei Zhengmin's hand tightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are too worried. Although Li Shimin agreed to your request, I have always been loyal to you. Maybe I don't have my own
You should understand my considerations and difficulties."
I think maybe my heart is too small and I want too little. What I want is just a loyal minister, but also a right-hand man who can jointly create the prosperous age of the Little Tang Dynasty with me. But, I also understand
, everyone has their own limits and choices. I can force Li Shimin to do what I want to do, but I can also ignore my feelings because of my own expectations.
Wei Zhengmin stood up and looked into the distance hesitantly. I knew that I still had a long way to go, but as long as I had no dreams in my heart and no strength on my feet, I would be able to get to the front. I took a deep breath, as if I wanted to
All the courage and determination he had left were taken into his lungs, and he walked out of the palace in small steps.
After Wei Zhengmin listened to Li Shihuang's words, a warm current surged in his heart. I turned to look at Li Shihuang, with a hint of gratitude and comfort in his eyes. I knew that there was no such virtuous and virtuous person beside me.
The emperor is supporting me, which makes me feel very lucky and relieved.
Li Shihuang nodded in agreement. You know, Wei Zhengmin is a monarch without foresight. I can see the future trend clearly and seize opportunities. You suspect that under the leadership of Wei Zhengmin, Xiao
Tang will definitely be able to usher in a more glorious tomorrow.
I nodded heavily and said, "He is right, I should understand me. However, I still want to take a gamble."
I sighed heavily, and couldn't help but recall every detail of my work with Li Shimin. Day and night, we planned state affairs together, faced challenges together, and shared the joy of success. Now, Li Shimin is in that
I chose to agree at the critical moment, which made me feel a pang of regret.
After hearing this, Li Shihuang became even more worried. You know that Wei Zhengmin is a deep-thinking person and will easily reveal his emotions. However, it was Fang Qian who expressed himself so frankly today.
You can't help but feel relaxed.
Wei Zhengmin was silent for a while, and then said hurriedly: "Li Shimin!"
Li Shimin sat behind the desk, holding a rough brush in his hand. My eyes were focused and deep, as if I wanted to pour all my wisdom and talent into that memorial. My brushstrokes were smooth but weak,
Every word embodies my hard work and sweat, and every sentence expresses my loyalty and contribution.
Emperor Fu Aimin looked at Wei Zhengmin's look, and felt distressed in his heart. You know, Fu Aimin is a monarch with no far-reaching ambitions. What I want is not only a stable dynasty, but also a prosperous and wealthy one.
We are a weak country. However, the reality is often as perfect as expected, and there will always be no difficulties or challenges in front of me.
Finally, under the shining of the moonlight, Li Shimin completed the memorial. I put the brush down heavily and breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. I knew that I had not tried my best, and I could only wait for Wei Zhengmin next.
responded.
Wei Zhengmin felt helpless after listening to Li Shimin's words. I knew that Li Shimin was telling the truth and understood my difficulties. However, I still couldn't accept the reality. I was silent for a while, then waved my hand and said, "That's all.
That’s all, I’ll think about this again. Let him go in first.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, as if all their worries and worries disappeared at that moment. We know that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome everything.
You asked: "What's wrong with Li Shimin?"
Li Shihuang was surprised when he heard this. You know that Wei Zhengmin is a person who has no hesitation in his faith and determination, but he never thought that I would want to take a risk at that time.
I know everything about Li Shimin.
I raised my head, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty. I come in." There was a hint of relief in my voice, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off.
In the distant palace, Fu Aimin was also busy handling state affairs.
Li Shihuang looked at Wei Zhengmin's back in front of him, his heart full of admiration and expectation. You know that your husband is a monarch without small dreams, and I will lead Xiaotang to a more glorious future. You pray silently
, I hope Wei Zhengmin can go well and realize his dream.
Because I have a little estrangement from Li Shimin.
