Chapter 2105 It’s all a misunderstanding
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Xiao Yu, remained silent for a while, and suddenly sighed and said: "Why did you talk about the evil son? Xiao Siye secretly discussed with Fang Jun, and gained Xue Yantuo's trust by absconding from Yanmen Pass and pretending to pass on the imperial edict. After successfully breaking into Xue Yantuo, Yinan Khan listened to his advice, so he gathered all the troops. The army attacked Zhao Xincheng, and only then did Fang Jun and Zhao Xincheng destroy Xue Yantuo's 150,000 troops. It's a pity that such a loyal man dared to become a "dead room" and assisted Fang Jun in achieving unparalleled achievements, but he was eventually killed in the rebel army. , my soul cannot return home, I am really heartbroken!”
There is no trace of heartache, but the depression is real.
He was clearly a traitor who was cut to death by a thousand cuts, but he had to consider the negative impact of a Tang Dynasty treason on the children of top aristocratic families, so he swallowed his anger and beautified his treasonous behavior into a "death period" of self-sacrifice and unparalleled loyalty. His Majesty Li Er himself was disgusted by himself.
But now that the matter has come to this, what can be done?
Even if Xiao Siye's crimes were announced to the world, what would be the benefit except causing foreigners to laugh at the children of the Tang family for their lack of integrity? If he were captured and brought to justice, he would definitely be cut into pieces and cut into pieces as a warning to others. But now that Xiao Siye could not die any more, he might as well put everything to good use and beautify him into a benchmark and role model, which would stand out in the eyes of the children of the family and the world. serve as a role model.
It can also restore the reputation of the Xiao family. After all, from the time when he took the throne until now, the Xiao family has stood behind him without hesitation and firmly supported him.
It’s considered well-intentioned...
Xiao Yu's eyes widened: "Uh..."
What's going on?
Wasn't he a traitor who was promised to be a traitor? How could he suddenly become a "dead man" who sacrificed his life for charity and made outstanding achievements?
After all, they are elites who have held high positions in two dynasties. After thinking about it for a while, they have "understood" the inside story...
Presumably, Fang Jun must have been thinking about his in-law relationship with the Xiao family, and he must have doted on Xiao Shuer in his heart, so he was unwilling to let the Xiao family bear the reputation of treason because of Xiao Siye, an evil son. dirty At this point, after annihilating Xue Yantuo's army, he captured Xiao Siye again and executed him in private. He also lied that Xiao Siye's behavior was all discussed in advance and was not treason. Instead, he went deep into the tiger's den in the "death world". Not only was he not guilty, but he was meritorious.
Fang Erlang, you are really a kind person. Who will say that Fang Erlang is a stick in the future? Xiao Yu will be the first one not to spare him!
For the sake of the reputation of the Xiao family, he is willing to bear the humiliation and go against the law of the country. What a good boy...
Originally, the clan was still worried about marrying Xiao Shuer, a direct bloodline who respected the emperor, to Fang Jun as a concubine. Now it seems that this is a huge profit!
A mere Xiao Shu'er can save the Xiao family's reputation for treason. What's the harm in marrying all the Xiao family's daughters to Fang Jun as concubines?
Xiao Yu left the table immediately, prostrated himself on the ground, and cried sadly: "So that's it! It was me who wronged the child... It's just that the children of the Xiao family have received the emperor's favor, and there is no way to repay the wealth and honor. They should do their best for His Majesty." , The horse-leather-wrapped corpse will not turn around! May your Majesty prosper and the Tang Dynasty be prosperous and stable!”
The ministers nearby all gave words of advice one after another: "Everyone is destined to die. Although Xiao Siye died, he was still more important than Mount Tai!"
"The children of the Xiao family are strong and strong. They are indeed role models for our generation. They should be told to the world and praised by the world!"
"I deserve to die, how powerful I am!"
"I wish I could replace it with my own body!"
……
In the Shenlong Hall, the morale was high and the ambition was intense.
They are both drama queens, who is worse than the other?
Only His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting behind the desk, looked constipated.
Mother!
Do you want to flatter me like this?
For a qualified emperor, personal likes and dislikes, or even simple good and evil, right and wrong, are never important. As long as it can achieve a positive effect, it is normal to mistake a deer for a horse and confuse right and wrong. When necessary, even if it is necessary, he will regard a thief as his father or kill his brother. What's the harm in killing your brother?
The key is whether you can achieve the desired outcome after doing all this.
In order to reverse the bad influence of Xiao Siye's treason and set up a heroic example of loyalty and unyielding self-sacrifice, His Majesty Li Er did not hesitate to erase Xiao Siye's sins, but instead gave him a reputation that will last forever.
History has always been shrouded in mystery. History books are written by people. Most people in the world ridicule His Majesty Li Er for tampering with history books and whitewashing crimes. But who can guarantee that past history books are absolutely correct?
As long as the world knows that there were people who did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to be benevolent, bravely entered the enemy camp and served as a "die", and achieved some unparalleled achievements, this can bring great encouragement and encouragement to future generations. One day, there will be a person who can follow the example of his ancestors. It is enough to accomplish such a great undertaking.
How could it matter whether a mere Xiao Siye was alive or dead, loyal or traitorous?
The Xiao family is bound to know the truth about Xiao Siye's treason, and his actions will also make the Xiao family misunderstand that he has to do this to protect the reputation of the Xiao family. Just look at Xiao Yu's expression of gratitude and tears, and you will know that this favor Lanling Mr. Xiao will always remember that in the future, he will do his best to fulfill his duties and serve the king.
His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied with this result.
The emperor and his ministers thought that it was a good story that had been circulated since ancient times. It was a happy thing that they could reach such a tacit understanding with Xiao Yu.
Well, it's good that we understand each other well. From now on, there is no need to mention this matter again, otherwise it will be unsightly once the news is leaked.
It's just that these people praised the traitor Xiao Siye in front of him, but it made His Majesty Li Er feel uncomfortable...
But what can be done?
The "role model" you have set up by yourself cannot be overthrown by yourself.
It’s so frustrating...
His Majesty Li Er looked a little ugly, stopped all the ministers from "playing", and said in a deep voice: "The battle report said that the captured Yinan Khan was already on his way to Chang'an, and there were also Qibi from the Qibi tribe. Ke Le accompanied him, and Qibi Kele was willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty. Together with his cousin Qibi Heli, he incorporated all the people of the Qibi tribe into the Tang Dynasty. Tang household registration requested to be resettled in Mobei. In addition, Fang Jun also mentioned in the battle report that he proposed to establish the Hanhai Protectorate in Mobei, with Daqi as the boundary with the Shanyu Protectorate, and the Tiele tribes in Mobei. Jisu Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of the Hanhai Protectorate and is in charge of the affairs of all ethnic groups in Mobei. Dear friends, what do you think? "
When the ministers heard this, they were secretly stunned. This is such a big deal.
Mobei is bitterly cold, but the territory is vast. The Tiele tribes occupy almost most of the grasslands in Mobei. Once Xue Yantuo is destroyed, all the Tiele tribes will either surrender to the Tang Dynasty or be completely annihilated by the Tang army. The entire Mobei will Will it completely enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and expand the territory by more than a few thousand miles?
The jurisdiction of this Hanhai Protectorate will far exceed several states in the Tang Dynasty, and may even be equivalent to a land. Moreover, its strategic position is extremely important.
Changsun Wuji said: "Since it is named Hanhai Protectorate, it is obvious that Fang Jun's original intention is to open up the vast area up to Hanhai, and even include Hanhai into the territory. Such a vast area should indeed have It is a matter of course that the Hanhai Protectorate should be managed by a special yamen. However, in such a vast area, not only the Tiele tribes, but also many scattered tribes were scattered, it was impossible to kill them all. Right? Therefore, it is not easy to manage, and there must be a famous general with outstanding achievements and prestige to intimidate the barbarians and Wei Gai Mobei. In the opinion of the veteran, Fang Jun has been rushing all the way since his troops came out of Baidao. , Hundreds of thousands of Xue Yantuo's troops were completely destroyed in his hands, and his reputation in Mobei must not be second-guessed. Fang Jun should be the chief protector of the Hanhai Protectorate, and he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
When Prince Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately quit.
My dear uncle, are you unwilling to dethrone me as the crown prince?
It is not easy for me to have a minister of extraordinary merit who can fully support me in sitting on the throne of the crown prince, but you are trying every possible means to knock him down, exclude him, and even send him to Mobei...
Do we have a grudge? !
The clay figurine is still very angry, let alone a major matter that affects the stability of his prince's team?
Li Chengqian endured his anger, stepped forward and said: "Father, Fang Jun has learned a lesson. Although Fang Jun has outstanding merits and abilities, he is qualified to take up the post of Chief Protector of the Hanhai Protectorate. However, his actions have always been willful and uncontrollable. Now Mobei is about to return After entering the territory of the Tang Dynasty, how to manage the Tiele tribes was the next top priority for the court. No matter what policy it adopted, it could not be massacred wantonly. Fang Jun's attitude towards the Hu barbarians had always been tough, and Da Nang was prone to massacres. , Sanghabuluocheng, Asukajing, Xinluo... plus today's Mobei, the number of Hu people slaughtered by Fang Jun is probably no less than hundreds of thousands. If Fang Jun is appointed to govern Mobei, Thousands of miles away from Chang'an, communication It is extremely inconvenient, and must be given arbitrary power to protect the generals, but judging from Fang Jun's style... I am afraid that the killing will be too much, which will harm the peace of the world, and will also damage the reputation of Datang Ze for being kind to the people. "
When His Majesty Li Er heard this, he nodded frequently.
Fang Er's stick is indeed as the prince said. He has always been tough on foreigners. Once there is a slight disturbance in northern Xinjiang, it will not be surprising to cause a massacre.
Especially since this boy has no scruples in his actions and can do whatever he wants under his nose. If he is still high up in Mobei Mountain and far away from the emperor, what will happen?
What's more, His Majesty Li Er also understood the implication of the prince's words.
Since I have no plans to save money easily, it is necessary to maintain a complete team for the prince, otherwise things will change... (End of Chapter)
