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's interior, Yinan Khan listened to his advice and gathered an army to attack Zhao Xincheng. Only then did Fang Jun and Zhao Xincheng achieve a glorious record of destroying Xue Yantuo's 150,000 troops! It's a pity that such a loyal man dared to become
In the 'death period', I assisted Fang Jun to achieve unparalleled achievements, but ended up dying in the rebel army, and his soul could not 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 besides making foreigners laugh at the lack of integrity of the children of the Tang Dynasty family? If he were captured and brought to justice, he would definitely be cut into pieces with thousands of swords to serve as a warning to others. But now Xiao Siye is dead
If you can't die anymore, you might as well make the best use of it and beautify it into a benchmark and role model, which will serve as a model in the eyes of the children of the aristocratic family and the world.
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 and firmly supported him without hesitation.
It’s considered well-intentioned…
Xiao Yu's eyes widened: "Uh..."
What's going on?
Wasn't he a traitor as promised, but 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 this evil son Xiao Siye.
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 that he was not treason. Instead, he went deep into the tiger's den of 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 burden of humiliation and violate national laws. 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, fell to 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 corpse wrapped in horse leather will not turn around! I only wish that your majesty will be prosperous for a long time, and that the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous and stable!"
The ministers nearby all gave words of advice one after another: "Everyone is destined to die. Even though Xiao Siye is dead, he is 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, I am a great man of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I wish I could replace it with my own body!"
…
In the Shenlong Hall, there was high morale and strong ambition.
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 the thief as his father and kill his brother.
What's the harm in killing your brother?
The key is whether you can achieve the ideal 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 a lot of 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.
A mere Xiao Siye, whether he is alive or dead, loyal or traitorous, what is the point?
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 he will do his best to fulfill his duties and serve the king in the future.
His Majesty Li Er is 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 both understand each other. From now on, there is no need to mention this matter again, otherwise it will be unsightly if the news leaks out.
It's just that these people praised the traitor Xiao Siye in front of him, which made His Majesty Li Er feel uncomfortable...
But what can be done?
The "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, they registered all the people of the Qibi tribe in the Tang Dynasty household registration and requested to be resettled in Mobei. In addition, Fang Jun also
It was mentioned in the battle report that it was recommended to establish the Hanhai Protectorate in Mobei, with Daqi as the boundary with the Shanyu Protectorate, and the Tiele tribes in Mobei to establish Jisi Prefecture, all under the jurisdiction of the Hanhai Protectorate, with the general manager
Dear friends, what do you think about the affairs of various tribes in Mobei?"
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 spoke up: "Since it is named Hanhai Protectorate, it is obvious that Fang Jun's original intention is to open up the vast area leading to Hanhai, and even include Hanhai into the territory. Such a vast area should indeed have a special yamen to manage it.
The establishment of the Hanhai Protectorate is a matter of course. It’s just that in such a vast area, not only Tiel tribes, but also many scattered tribes are scattered throughout the period, we can’t kill them all, right? Therefore, it is not easy to manage.
In order to do this, there must be a famous general with outstanding merits and great reputation in charge, so that he can intimidate the barbarians and overwhelm Mobei. In the opinion of the veteran, Fang Jun has been rushing all the way since his troops came out of Baidao, and hundreds of thousands of Xue Yantuo's army were completely destroyed in his hands.
, I will never give second thought to the reputation in Mobei. 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’s 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
After being included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, how to manage the Tiele tribes was the next top priority for the court. No matter what policy was adopted, massacres could not be made wantonly, and Fang Jun's attitude towards Hu people and barbarians had always been tough and he would massacre them at every turn.
Hong Kong, Sanghabula City, Asukajing, Silla... plus the current 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,
North, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, communication is extremely inconvenient, so the governor must be given arbitrary power when the situation arises. However, 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 even damage it.
Datang Ze is renowned for its kindness to the common people and its kindness to the world."
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, a massacre will not be surprising.
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 inevitably change...
