The second son, Li Siwen, is physically strong, but he is childish and has no morals. He always makes trouble and is too rebellious. He even transferred to the Youwu Guard without his consent. Now he is following Xue Wanche to Shuozhou to face Xue Yantuo.
As for the son-in-law, it is even more troublesome...
Originally, I saw that the child was handsome, well-spoken, and a son of the Du family in Jingzhao. He had a good upbringing, so he agreed to the marriage. Li Ji had outstanding achievements and was deeply trusted by the emperor. Now he is the prime minister and assistant minister.
First of all, I didn't expect to rely on my daughter to get married with any family. I relied on his political resources. It was purely because I was optimistic about Du Huaigong. Even if my daughter didn't agree, I was forced to marry him.
But who would have thought that Du Huaigong was actually a man of gold and jade, but a loser on the inside?
He usually only eats, drinks, and gambles, and he has no ambition to make progress in his official career. He shamelessly found a job for him in the Eastern Expedition army, and placed him in the imperial army that protected the emperor's safety. He obviously earned money while lying down.
It was a good thing to achieve great feats in war, but the boy refused to obey even to the death.
The reason is actually that swords and arrows have no eyesight on the battlefield, and they are afraid of death...
For this reason, Li Ji was ridiculed by many veterans, lost all face, and became a laughing stock.
The daughter was so ashamed and angry that she moved directly back to the mansion and threatened to make peace with Du Huaigong, otherwise she would become a nun...
If you don't become a householder, you don't know how valuable firewood and rice are; if you don't raise children, you don't know the kindness of your parents.
He, Li Ji, spent his whole life galloping across the battlefield, conquering every attack, and rising to power in the temple, but he was helpless when it came to his children...
Thinking of this, he shook his head with a wry smile, took out a battle report from his arms, presented it to His Majesty Li Er with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is the battle report of Northern Xinjiang that Fang Jun sent back, crossing the Baidao to Chilechuan
Tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's cavalry have invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty, chasing the Turks all the way to Yanmen Pass, intending to occupy Monan and Baidaochuan! Ashina Simo was seriously injured, but it was not long before Xue Wanche led the Youwu Guards to cut off the evil sun in time.
Ridge, defeated Dadu She, and killed more than 30,000 barbarians in formation. The defeated enemy relied on the terrain of Evil Yang Ridge to break out. They wanted to cross the Baidao from Baidaokou back to Mobei, but were defeated by Fang Jun, who had already occupied Baidaokou.
Dadu was killed on the spot, and thousands of his troops fled along the Yin Mountains. There was nothing to worry about. Fang Jun's battle report said that His Majesty was seriously ill, so he might as well rest assured and recuperate. The Eastern Expedition could be put on hold for the time being. Xue Yantuo invaded the Tang Dynasty brazenly.
He must not tolerate it, otherwise it will damage the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he has led the Youtunwei army straight out of Baidao and entered Mobei, intending to sweep across Mobei, boost the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, and punish Hu
Capture the barbarians!"
His Majesty Li Er was stunned at first, and then became furious: "Yi Nan'an, how dare you bully me! Fang Jun, Xue Wanche killed well! Mother! Do you really think that our Tang Dynasty has no one?"
At present, Xue Yantuo's envoy is in Chang'an, spending the whole day in Honglu Temple, asking for an audience to discuss the marriage.
Open and closed, the two countries are good neighbors and have been friendly for generations. We are willing to be a country of Qin and Jin and a country of brothers forever!
The result?
They did one thing in person and behind the other's back. Here they were discussing a marriage, but over there they broke into the Tang Dynasty and massacred its allies!
In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, a Yi man is no more loyal and reliable than an Ashina Simo!
What's more, after destroying the Eastern Turks, he single-handedly supported their restoration and used them as a barrier for the Tang Dynasty in the northern frontier. The person he was guarding against was Xue Yantuo. If the Eastern Turks were really destroyed by Xue Yantuo, he, the "
Where does the "Khan of Heaven" keep his face?
If you can't even protect your own younger brother, what will the countries in the Western Regions that are attached to the Tang Dynasty think?
Who will regard Datang as the suzerain in the future and defend Datang against powerful enemies?
He was in the middle of an illness, weak and weak, and his anger was rising. He felt dizzy and short of breath for a while, but a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. He quickly waved his hands to calm down his anger, stared at Li Ji and asked in surprise: "You just said, Fang Jun,
Already know that someone is seriously ill and unable to control the expedition?"
Li Ji smiled bitterly and handed over the battle report: "Your Majesty will know after just one look."
His Majesty Li Er blinked, took the battle report and read it carefully, feeling a little confused...
Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and I fell ill on the first day of the Lunar New Year. At that time, northern Xinjiang was already in chaos.
Although he had strict orders not to go to war with Xue Yantuo, Xue Yantuo invaded the border brazenly and intended to massacre the Turks. As the commander-in-chief of northern Xinjiang, Fang Jun responded decisively, which was right.
No matter what, anyone who dares to invade the Tang Dynasty must be beaten back severely!
But……
I hurriedly turned to the end and looked at the date on the battle report. It was sent out on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
If I fell ill on the first day of junior high school, Fang Jun, who was in Baidaokou, would know it on the third day of junior high school?
Is your special mother's Fang Jun an all-knowing land fairy, or is he clairvoyant and able to tell that I'm sick from hundreds of miles away?!
"Asshole!"
His Majesty Li Er was furious and cursed angrily: "It's simply lawless! In order to send troops to Mobei, they even made up rumors and slandered me for being sick. Their intentions are to be punished!"
What else don’t you understand?
That fellow simply ignored the overall situation of the Eastern Expedition and for the sake of his own achievements, he did not hesitate to make up lies to deceive the emperor!
Li Chengqian, Princess Changle, and Princess Jinyang looked at each other in confusion. Isn't Fang Jun's courage outrageous?
Li Chengqian was so anxious that he secretly complained that Fang Jun was so audacious that he dared to fabricate such rumors. Would he be killed? He wanted to plead with Fang Jun, but seeing that his father was so angry, he did not dare to interrupt indiscriminately.
Princess Jinyang was anxious, wondering why her brother-in-law was so bold.
Her arm suddenly hurt. She turned her head and saw that her elder sister was quietly giving her a wink...
The little princess understands instantly.
After thinking about it, he suddenly said: "Why did my father wrongly accuse my brother-in-law of making up rumors? You are indeed sick!"
When Princess Changle heard this, she frowned and gave Princess Jinyang a hard look.
Can this girl speak?
This is trouble...
Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er hesitated after hearing this, but became even more angry.
This bastard!
If you make up rumors randomly and find an excuse to send troops to Mobei, you can still be caught by him!
Then I thought about it, good things don't work but bad things don't work. My illness came out of nowhere. Could it be that I was cursed by that foul mouth?
The anger became even more intense, and they lined up on the couch and cursed: "How can this be unreasonable? How can this be unreasonable! Such a person has no king and no father, and regards the great cause of the empire as if it were nothing. His crime is unforgivable! The British Duke immediately drafted an order to recall this animal to Chang'an and ordered the three judicial departments to jointly try it.
It is a crime of deceiving the emperor and ignoring the law of the country!"
If Fang Jun is captured, what will happen?
No matter how much the emperor thinks of Fang Xuanling, he will never forgive Fang Jun!
Beheading is probably not possible, but it is almost certain that you will be stripped of rank, dismissed from office, and then sent into exile for three thousand miles...
Li Chengqian was sweating profusely and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Father, please calm down! Although Fang Jun has always been a bit reckless, he is definitely not a treacherous man without a king and a father! I'm afraid there is something hidden, so please be aware of it!"
His Majesty Li Er cursed: "Fart! The battle report is here. All the words were written by himself. Is it possible that someone can force him with a knife?"
Li Ji is so helpless, can't you read this battle report carefully before getting angry?
He had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty clearly knows..."
"shut up!"
His Majesty Li Er glared angrily: "Do you even want to plead for that stick? It's not an exaggeration to kill him a hundred times for such a daring thing. You, Li Ji, claim to be fair and rigorous, but you want me to bend the law for personal gain?"
Li Ji's face twitched and he said helplessly: "What the hell...why don't your majesty read this battle report? The fact that your majesty got sick did not come from Fang Jun's mouth..."
His Majesty Li Er hesitated again, holding his breath in his chest and almost losing his breath.
He picked up the battle report again and read it carefully from beginning to end. He raised his face, shook the battle report, looked at Li Ji in astonishment, and asked, "When will I send Xiao Siye to convey the imperial edict?"
Li Ji looked at the emperor and asked, "Are you sick and confused..."
"Your Majesty, you did not send anyone to convey any imperial edict to Fang Jun, but this is not the key point. The key point is that your Majesty was ill and could not drive to conquer Goguryeo. This was what Xiao Siye said, and he produced an imperial edict, so Fang Jun
Juncai believed it to be true. Fang Jun had just defeated Xue Yantuo at Baidaokou and completely annihilated tens of thousands of his cavalry, which would inevitably lead to a great loss of Xue Yantuo's power. Baidaokou was blocked by Fang Jun, and Yi Nan's information was blocked, so the defenses in various parts of Mobei must be in danger in the short term.
Kong, since His Majesty is unable to control the expedition in person, the plan of the Eastern Expedition can only be shelved indefinitely. As for Mobei Kong Kong, such a God-given opportunity must not be missed and will never come back, so Fang Juncai decisively went out to Bai Dao, intending to go straight to Yu Dujun Mountain
, repeat the great achievements of Shi Yanran, and destroy Xue Yantuo in one fell swoop!"
After talking a lot, Li Ji took a long breath.
I thought to myself: Mom, Fang Jun, you little bastard, I can only help you so much...
In fact, except for those greedy people in the court who were driven by profit and wanted to gain military exploits and promotions during the Eastern Campaign, who of the truly knowledgeable people in the court would ever take Goguryeo seriously?
The real enemy of the Tang Dynasty was Xue Yantuo and Tubo, not even the Western Turks who fled to the Western Regions!
Fang Junbing went out of his way to attack Mobei. This is the real move to seek the country!
There is no need to really strangle Shi Yanran and destroy the Xueyantuo Khanate. It is enough to stab him in the heart and severely damage his power.
With morality and justice here, coupled with the personal friendship between them, how could Li Ji not help Fang Jun complete his lie?
