Chapter 2052: Framing the blame
Fang Jun is an angry young man, but being angry does not necessarily mean being impulsive.
There is no descendant of China who does not want to chase death and chase the north, and seal the wolf as a slave. It is a supreme honor, a peerless feat, enough to shine through the ages, and to be famous in history.
But Fang Jun understands a truth. Only when he makes no mistakes and can occupy a high position can he have more power and do things that he could only dream of but could not do in his previous life.
On one side, the troops marched out of Mobei and attacked the tents of Xue Yantuo's people; on the other side, they violated national policy and ignored the divine grace...
Which one is light and which one is heavy? Fang Jun can figure it out.
Even if he returns to Mayi today, there will be many opportunities to go out to Mobei in the future, but if he insists on going north and offends His Majesty Li Er who is obsessed with conquering Goguryeo, I am afraid that Fang Jun will not be able to touch him again in his lifetime. Military power...
Fang Jun couldn't bear to give up such a good opportunity.
But the appearance of Xiao Siye suddenly gave Fang Jun an idea...
His Majesty Li Er will never tolerate sending troops to Mobei. Any action from Xue Yantuo during the Eastern Expedition will make the Tang Dynasty difficult. If the Eastern Expedition plan that has been prepared for many years fails because of this, who can bear this big pot?
Therefore, whoever dares to start a full-scale war with Xue Yantuo at this time and cause any mistakes in the Eastern Expedition will be held responsible.
If Fang Jun insists on going north, it is not impossible to use his troops in vain.
Just find someone to take the blame and take on this responsibility...

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Xiao Langjun?"
Inside the battalion commander, the scouts brought the captured Xiao Siye in front of Fang Jun. Fang Jun looked surprised at first, and then became furious: "Are you all crazy? This is the chief historian of the Shanyu Protectorate, who was appointed by the imperial court. It’s simply too much for a proper imperial official to be so tied up!”
Xiao Siye's face was covered with scars and he was tied up like a rice dumpling. He dismissed Fang Jun's enthusiasm.
The scout was scolded, his face flushed, and he muttered in a low voice: "All the Turks are almost dead, and there is still a Shanyu Protectorate..."
Fang Jun glared, kicked the scout to the ground, and cursed: "How presumptuous! A naked general, he is also a general. How can you humiliate him at will?"
The scout was kicked, and he was afraid to say anything.
Fang Jun said loudly: "Why don't you quickly untie Xiao Changshi? Wait for me to do it myself! I don't have any eyesight!"
"No!"
The scout quickly stepped forward to untie Xiao Siye's rope.
Fang Jun waved his hand to repel him, then showed a smile and greeted Xiao Siye affectionately: "Tell me about you, we are also relatives after all. You, a junior, don't even know how to say hello to my uncle when you see him. This is a bit No more rules!”
Xiao Siye's cheeks twitched, feeling disgusted in his heart, but he had to lower his head under the eaves, not to mention that Fang Jun was indeed his uncle, so he could only say in a low voice: "I have met my uncle..."
"Hey, good boy... Come, come, have a glass of warm wine and warm yourself up." Fang Jun smiled like a flower with a dark face.
Xiao Siye almost vomited in disgust...
But he was really cold and hungry at the moment, so he walked across from Fang Jun, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and drank three glasses in a row. The wine was an extremely strong Fangfu wine. When it entered the throat, it felt like fire. There was a sudden warmth in the stomach, and all the cold air was dispelled.
Fang Jun greeted the soldiers and prepared some food for Xiao Siye to enjoy.
That kind and harmonious face is really as kind and kind as the elders who saw his back. How can you see the slightest estrangement in Chang'an?
Xiao Siye was eating and drinking, his heart filled with emotion...
Is it possible that this person really has a mind as big as the sea and a spirit as strong as a mountain, and never cared about the hostility shown towards him in Chang'an?
Otherwise there would be no need to perform like this!
This is Baidaokou, and Fang Jun's subordinates are all above and below him. Not to mention making it difficult for him, even if he orders someone to kill him and then dig a hole and bury him, it's just a matter of words.
Is it really repaying kindness with kindness...
After Xiao Siye had had enough wine and food, Fang Juncai said with a smile: "Since my nephew has been delivered, let's settle him in the army for the time being. When the army returns, my nephew can go back to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit with a certain person." . At that time, rewards will be given based on merit, and a good nephew will not be able to escape the control of the lieutenant general."
Xiao Siye subconsciously taught by correspondence, then he was stunned, looked up at Fang Jun in confusion, and asked curiously: "What imperial edict? Have I ever received an imperial edict?"
The smile on Fang Jun's face did not diminish, he straightened his body slightly, stared into Xiao Siye's eyes and asked: "So, as the chief historian of the Shanyu Protectorate, the wise nephew is not at Yanmen Pass to appease Ashina Simo, nor is he in Dingxiang City Why did you come to Baidaokou to gather the scattered Turkic people?"
Xiao Siye's heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale.
How to answer this?
Could it be that he told Fang Jun that he was framed by the Yanmen Gate guard and that he did not want to return to Chang'an to face his crime and spend the rest of his life idle and mediocre, but that he wanted to go to Xue Yantuo to pursue a better future?
If these words are spoken, Fang Junneng will immediately chop off his head with a knife...
But as Fang Jun said, he had no reason to come to Baidaokou no matter what, and he couldn't explain it satisfactorily.
Rolling his eyes, Xiao Siye asked instead: "What does the imperial edict that the commander just said... mean?"
Fang Jun smiled and ignored his panic. Instead, he took out a bright yellow silk scroll from his arms, threw it on the table, and said calmly: "Your Majesty's order, my wise nephew came to the army to announce the decree. You Instead, I asked: If it was not to read the imperial edict, why did the wise nephew come to Baidaokou? Could it be that he wanted to go to Xue Yantuo and commit treason? "
Xiao Siye's face turned pale.
At the same time, there are also questions in my head...
What imperial edict?
Where did the decree come from?
Could it be that Fang Jun saw that I wanted to flee to Xue Yantuo and was caught here, unable to explain my behavior, so he came up with an excuse to exonerate himself?
Could this person be so kind?
It can't be done...
Xiao Siye was suspicious, so he picked up the "imperial edict" on the table, glanced at it, and suddenly became furious: "How unreasonable! Fang Jun'er is really so bold! How dare you even forge the edict?"
Where is this from Lao Shizi's imperial edict?
It was just a roll of yellow cloth with writing on it, and the jade seal stamped on it was vaguely imprinted. Maybe it was a jade seal carved from a turnip and stamped with cinnabar.
It's totally fake!
Fang Jun took a leisurely sip of tea and said with a faint smile: "You are the official appointed by His Majesty to deliver the edict. This edict is also from your hand, but you told someone that it was a fake? Haha, Even if it’s fake, it’s still your problem, what does it have to do with someone?”
Xiao Siye was furious: "Fang Er! How dare you deceive me? You forged the imperial edict and punished three clans. Don't even think of framing such a heinous crime on me!"
Fang Jun sneered: "Then how many tribes do you think should be punished for such acts of collaborating with the enemy and treason by going to Xue Yantuo alone with the military secrets of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Fart!"
Xiao Siye's face turned red, he was shocked and angry: "Where did the military secrets of the Tang Dynasty come from?"
"Crack!"
Before he could finish speaking, another roll of cloth was thrown on the table.
Fang Jun pursed his lips: "See for yourself."
Xiao Siye quickly picked it up and unfolded it to see that his face turned from red to white, and then from white to black...
He just scanned the words "Zhentian Lei Production Technology" above. He didn't even have time to study on his own to see the details that followed. He felt his head was buzzing and his eyes were jumping wildly.
Anyone from the Tang Dynasty doesn't know that the "Shocking Thunder" is a sharp weapon in the military. Its production process is the same as the gunpowder formula, and is listed as the highest military secret? Anyone who secretly inquires will be arrested by the "Hundred Cavalry Division" for the crime of elaboration. After interrogation, they will be reported directly to His Majesty the Emperor.
Not to mention spreading its production technology to enemy countries...
It is impossible to kill the three tribes.
It must be enough for nine tribes...
Xiao Siye's eyes were distracted, and his whole person felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He really wanted to go to Xueyantuo. Since he was framed by the guard of Yanmen Pass, he could not get rid of this crime. With his official position and family background, he would definitely be reused in Xueyantuo. It would be better than returning to Chang'an and being imprisoned and failing. More than a hundred times?
He was born in the Xiao family of Lanling. Even if he collaborated with the enemy and treason, the emperor would not kill his three clans for this reason.
However, now that such a "shaking thunder" production process is here, what kind of crime is this?
The Xiao family of Lanling had to be implicated by him and his family was ruined!
He doesn't want to die, let alone his family being exterminated and the millennium-old inheritance being cut off...
The blood-red eyes were bulging, and the canthus was about to burst, and he shouted in a hissing voice: "Fang Er! What do you want?!"
Mother!
This bastard is more ruthless than the guard at Yanmen Pass!
Simply a devil...
Fang Jun chuckled, and the old god said: "It's very simple, as long as you admit that you brought this forged imperial edict, then all the charges will be wiped out for you, even when the army goes straight to Yu Dujun Mountain to sweep away with thunder After Xue Yantuo is destroyed by the power of the cave, you will also share the credit. Feng Lang Juxu and Le Shi Yanran, these achievements are enough to erase the crime of falsely passing on the imperial edict..." (End of this chapter)
