Chapter 2056 is a disservice
Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Father, Fang Jun has always been loyal to the country and the country. How could he do such a treasonous thing as falsely passing on the imperial edict? It must be that Xiao Siye has a grudge with Fang Jun, so he is a coward. Bao Tian, deliberately falsely conveyed the imperial edict to frame Fang Jun!”
Even regardless of his friendship with Fang Jun, he has always regarded Fang Jun as a humerus. Whether he can control the court situation after his future rank depends on Fang Jun. How can he sit back and watch Fang Jun carry a false edict and deceive him? Because of the crime, Jun was eventually demoted, dismissed from office, and exiled for three thousand miles?
Besides, he really didn't think Fang Jun could do such a stupid thing.
In his mind, Fang Jun is far more mature and wise than his peers, and he knows how to advance and retreat. He seems to be always messing around, but in fact he is very measured, and can always hover around his father's bottom line without going beyond half a step. This is Such people should be good at protecting themselves wisely, how could they commit such a suicide attempt?
His Majesty Li Er picked up the battle report again and read it again. Sure enough, he found that Yu Wenfa blocked the army from leaving the pass. Xiao Siye arrived at Yanmen Pass but was slandered by the guarding general as a detailed explanation...
That makes sense.
It is very possible that Xiao Siye was framed as Xue Yantuo's secret agent and was even almost killed by the general guarding Yanmen Pass. He was so angry and frightened that he simply refused to do anything and defected to Xue Yantuo. This was very possible.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Hu people have tried their best to win over the Han people who went to seek refuge. They have given high-ranking officials, money, beauty, power, status, and whatever they want.
As a descendant of the Lanling Xiao family, Xiao Siye had a noble status and a distinguished reputation. He was also the director of the Shanyu Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. If he could defect to Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan would definitely give him generous gifts and put him in a good position.
He simply deceived Fang Jun out of the White Road, and then secretly informed Xue Yantuo, causing Fang Jun's army to fall into a tight siege and defeat Mobei. This was Xiao Siye's letter of surrender to Xue Yantuo...
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er was shocked and angry.
"This Fang Jun has always looked cunning and cunning. How could he be so stupid in Northern Xinjiang? Such lies can be believed, and they are of no use at all!"
He was really angry.
Just thinking about the entire Youtun Guards being destroyed because of Xiao Siye's treason and Fang Jun's stupidity, he was so angry.
Even when Jieli Khan drank the Mawei River and marched his troops to the city, the Tang Dynasty never suffered a disastrous defeat in which an entire army was wiped out!
Li Jidao said: "Xiao Siye forged the imperial edict and was inevitably punished with death. But Fang Jun was also to blame for believing the lies and not distinguishing the truth from the lies. Now the Youtunwei army has gone straight to the wrong path, and there is no way to recover it. , I only hope that he can wake up in time and see through Xiao Siye's evil plan. If the Youtun Guards suffer heavy losses or even be wiped out, please Your Majesty to punish him for his negligence."
This is a much more level statement.
If Youtun Guards suffered heavy losses or the entire army was destroyed, they must be punished, but what if there were no losses?
Of course it doesn't count as a mistake.
Although he was a little annoyed that Fang Jun was so reckless, based on his understanding of Fang Jun, this boy didn't seem to be stupid. If he didn't have some confidence, how could he dare to go straight out of the White Road and drive straight into Mobei?
This is regarded as an endorsement for that boy. As long as the result is not too tragic, there is still some room for redemption...
Princess Jinyang knew that she had just said something wrong. Now she rolled her eyes and said loudly: "Brother-in-law is the most loyal, how could he do such a deceiving thing? It must be Xiao Siye who deceived and framed brother-in-law!"
When Li Chengqian and Princess Changle heard this, they almost raised their hands to cover their faces...
This girl is indeed smart, but after all, she is young and ignorant and does not understand people's hearts.
Li Ji was also a little puzzled. He glanced at Princess Jinyang with a sullen face and thought, isn't Her Highness always very close to Fang Jun?
No matter what I say today, it's like stabbing Fang Jun's back with a knife, and I'm afraid that Fang Jun won't die, and I'll stab him endlessly...
"Huh?"
His Majesty Li Er was heartbroken by Princess Jinyang's words.
He suddenly realized that according to the rhetoric in Fang Jun's battle report, if the army suffered a disastrous defeat, then the biggest crime would be Xiao Siye's. If he was lucky enough to win, Shi Yanran's unparalleled achievements would be entirely Fang Jun's.
Regardless of the outcome, this stick seems to be able to advance and retreat, and remain invincible...
Is it really that simple?
His Majesty Li Er is very suspicious.
However, this is not the time to pursue the truth. The final outcome still depends on the performance of Youtunwei.
"Expelled Xue Yantuo's envoy from Beijing and ordered him to immediately return to Mobei to tell Yi Nan that anyone who openly commits crimes against the Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is! Ask him to take care of himself."
In anger, His Majesty Li Er directly changed Chen Tang's words and took them out.
At that time, the Han Dynasty conquered the world and sealed the wolf in Xu, and beat the Xiongnu to flee thousands of miles to the south of the desert without a royal court. Is it possible that the Tang Dynasty today is inferior to the Great Khan?
Is Xue Yantuo stronger than the Huns?
That's too much!
*****
The Eastern Expedition must be put on hold indefinitely. If His Majesty Li Er's condition does not improve, he will not be able to lead the expedition in person. If he cannot lead the expedition in person, will the unparalleled feat of destroying Goguryeo be handed over to any general in vain?
It's not that His Majesty Li Er is reluctant to delegate power, it's because he, who won the country unjustly, urgently needs to destroy Goguryeo to enhance his historical status, so even if hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting in the two states of Youying, they will spend money and silk every day. There is countless food and fodder, but we can still only stay where we are...
Li Ji sat for a while longer, discussed the current situation in the court with His Majesty Li Er, understood the emperor's will, and then took his leave.
Among all the civil and military ministers in the DPRK, His Majesty Li Er was the most at ease with Li Ji.
This man is a man of extraordinary talent in both culture and military skills, but he is calm-minded and low-key by nature, indifferent and has no ambitions.
If Changsun Wuji had been replaced as the first assistant, His Majesty Li Er would probably be awakened from his sleep right now...
After Li Ji left, His Majesty Li Er felt a little drowsy and fell asleep again.
Li Chengqian led his two sisters out quietly, and replaced the servants who came in to guard and serve.
After leaving the Dragon Palace, Li Chengqian took a look at Princess Jinyang who looked a little ashamed and annoyed. After all, he couldn't bear to be harsh and could only sigh softly and said: "Sisters, please go back and have a rest. I have worked hard day and night to take care of my father these past few days, and I am exhausted." , please pay attention to your health. There are still some matters that need to be dealt with in the East Palace. I will go back first and come back to serve my father later in the evening."
Then he nodded slightly and walked back to the East Palace.
The two princesses gathered their skirts and bowed, and watched the prince leave.
Straightening up, Princess Changle glanced at Princess Jinyang and said softly: "Go and sit at my place."
Princess Jinyang's eyes were a little wandering, and she said: "Well... I feel so sleepy, why don't I go back to sleep first..."
"Hmph!"
Princess Changle glanced at her, moved her steps lightly, and took the lead.
Princess Jinyang had a sad face, sighed helplessly, and followed her dejectedly.
For this cold-tempered sister, she has the same admiration for her mother, and she never dares to disobey her wishes. What's more, now she knows that her sister wants to reprimand her because she said something wrong?
I would definitely not dare to run away...
The two sisters returned to Shujing Hall one after another.
The palace maids brought warm water to the two princesses to cleanse their faces and wash their hands, and then presented them with fragrant tea and cakes. Princess Changle dismissed the palace ladies with a gentle wave of her bare hands.
There were only two sisters left in the temple.
Princess Jinyang was a little embarrassed and secretly swallowed...
Princess Changle's face was cold and cold. She stretched out her jade hand to pick up the tea cup and took a sip. Then she raised her head and stared at Princess Jinyang with her clear eyes. She opened her lips and asked in a clear voice: "What do you mean?"
Princess Jinyang felt uneasy. She originally thought that her sister was angry that she was talking nonsense and was not helping. When she heard this question, she was a little stunned and subconsciously asked: "What do you mean?"
Princess Changle said: "What do you mean by those words you just said in front of your father?"
Princess Jinyang became more and more confused: "I'm just interceding for my brother-in-law. It's not like you don't know my father's temper. This time my brother-in-law listened to someone else's false imperial edict and got into great trouble. I'm afraid my father will not let him off easily." . I know I said the wrong thing, but I just wanted to help my brother-in-law. Sister, please don’t scold me..."
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
Princess Changle interrupted calmly, looked at Princess Jinyang and asked: "What I'm asking is, why do you want to help Fang Jun speak for you like that?"
Princess Jinyang frowned slightly, with a puzzled expression: "Shouldn't it be right? My brother-in-law is very good to me. He has always pampered me these years. Whatever I want, my brother-in-law will always find ways to get it for me, and he will Play with me, huh, much better than my eldest grandson cousin! Now that my brother-in-law has angered my father, I will naturally intercede for him. Do you think, sister, that my brother-in-law really wants to rebel and deceive the king?"
When Changsun Chong was mentioned, Princess Changle's momentum froze, and she stretched out her slender jade fingers to rub her brows, feeling helpless.
This girl seems smart and clever, but she is still a child after all... (End of Chapter)
