Datang Longya

Chapter 869
Seeing this person, Leng Feng's mood immediately improved: "Tang Jin, didn't you go to guard the border of Jingbei Road? Why are you back?"

Although he also experienced the Battle of Gaochang, Tang Jin went back to Jingbei Province after returning only for a while, to beware of Shiwei and other countries who were forced to the extreme north.

Tang Jin smiled and said: "There is no need to be wary. Shiwei and other countries have no intention of coming back to ask for territory. They seem to have followed the same path as the Western Regions and Turkic people, and went west to find new land."

The Europeans at this time may not be as good as the Shiwei and Mohe people in terms of pure combat effectiveness. If they fight to Europe, the extreme northern wilderness will also be vacant.At that time, Datang will be embraced from the south to the South China Sea, and from the north to the ice ocean.

What a vast expanse of land this will be!
Leng Feng stretched out his hand and patted Tang Jin's shoulder: "It's good to be back, look at your appearance in the hall, are you above rank four?"

Although military commanders are more stable than civil servants, if they want to go to court, they must be above the fourth rank.

Military generals above the fourth rank have the right to speak on some issues.

Tang Jin nodded: "Thanks to His Majesty's love, I am now a fourth-rank loyal general, but it's a pity that I don't have a title yet."

Li Xiaogong walked over from the side, stretched out his hand and patted Tang Jin on the head: "It's a good idea to return the title. You are only in your twenties now? You are only a fourth-rank loyal general. Look at how many people in history who rely on their own ability, Can you climb so high so quickly? Your uncle Tang Jian, half buried in the earth, is the fourth grade."

Tang Jian is the minister of Honglu Temple, one of the nine ministers.However, he has the title of duke of the state, so he cannot be treated as an ordinary fourth rank.

Tang Jin was slapped and could only smile.

Li Chengqian came out from the apse, and the chaotic ranks of civil servants and generals quieted down, looking for their own positions.

Before leaving, Leng Feng said to Tang Jin: "After a while, wait for me, I will take you to the East Palace for dinner."

After separating from Leng Feng, Tang Jin consciously shrank to the end of the generals' team.

He is still just a rookie in the court, even if he is qualified to speak, he decided to "observe politics" for a period of time before trying to put forward his own point of view.

Today's Li Chengqian no longer lives under the steps, but uses the dragon case, but in order to show respect to Li Shimin, instead of sitting on the dragon chair, he moved a small stool behind the dragon case.

After the ministers sat down, Li Chengqian said: "Can you ministers have a copy of the performance?"

Fang Xuanling stood up and said: "His Royal Highness, the old minister has a book to play."

"speak."

After clearing his throat, Fang Xuanling said: "His Royal Highness, the year before last, His Majesty invested a small half of the national treasury to open and level roads in various villages and towns. It's just a pity that just after the completion of the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an, there was such a disgusting thing as a world attack on Tang Dynasty. As a last resort, His Majesty had no choice but to stop the road construction halfway. Now that the war has stopped for several months, although Goryeo has minor troubles, it is not a cause for concern. Therefore, the old minister is thinking, should we restart the road construction?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while before saying: "Now that the national treasury has been restored, it is time to restart it. Then the house minister is going to restart the road construction. Orphan will."

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Changsun Wuji stood up.

"His Royal Highness, I think that the road construction should not be restarted. Under the global attack on the Tang Dynasty, the national treasury was hurt. Now that we have income, how can we just think about how to spend it? The national treasury is not our money bag, the treasury reserves Insufficient, what should we do if we encounter war again? Therefore, I do not agree with it, and hope that His Royal Highness will take back his order."

After Changsun Wuji stood up, some people in the civil service team immediately echoed: "His Royal Highness, I also think it's inappropriate."

"His Royal Highness, what Zhao Guogong said makes sense."

It was the first time that Fang Xuanling advocated a matter, but the civil servants did not support it, and even directly opposed it. This was the first time!
Seeing so many people's opposition, Li Chengqian couldn't help but said: "Everyone, it's a good thing to build roads to benefit the people. Besides, in a short period of time, it is impossible for us in the Tang Dynasty to start another war."

Chu Suiliang stood up: "His Royal Highness, your statement is inappropriate. War is the most weird and changeable. How can you make an assertion that you can't fight?"

As soon as Chu Suiliang finished speaking, Li Jing stood up: "Chu Shilang, what you said is not right. Why do you say that war is possible? You are a civil servant, why do you speculate about the work of our generals? The old man thinks that war is not right. There may be another fight. Look around us in the Tang Dynasty. Is there anyone who dares to breathe? The Turks from the Western Regions ran to the big cannibal site, and the rise of the big cannibal. Shi Wei Mohe Hanhai Kingdom also stepped up They followed in their footsteps. Goryeo is just a little grasshopper, and it won’t be too long. As for Tubo, hehe, they don’t even dare to leave the plateau. Minister Chu, tell me, who dares to fight us in Tang Dynasty? "

If it is simply a matter of road construction, the generals can't intervene. At most, when they ask how to connect to the border, the generals can make some suggestions.Therefore, usually, when encountering such a topic, the generals would shut up.

However, Chu Suiliang actually said that there was a possibility of another war in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing was suddenly unhappy.

"In a short period of time, it is impossible for the Great Tang to fight again." This conclusion was not guessed by the generals, but cast by the blood of countless soldiers who died in battle.

Chu Suiliang said that the war is still possible, clearly contemptuous of the meritorious deeds of those soldiers who died in battle.

Seeing Li Jing standing up, Chu Suiliang curled his lips: "We're talking about road construction, Duke Wei, just go back and sit down. I just said it's possible, but I didn't say that there will definitely be a war."

Li Xiaogong couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, and said with a cloudy expression on his face, "It's possible that it won't work. In a short time, the Tang Dynasty won't be able to start a war. Tens of them fell."

Seeing that Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and others who were sitting in the generals' ranks wanted to stand up, Chu Suiliang quickly changed his words: "Okay, okay, I admit, war can't be fought, okay!"

Military generals are notorious for their messiness, and Chu Suiliang didn't want to be besieged by generals for no reason.

"However, despite this, I still don't approve of road construction. The national treasury is at the emptiest moment in history. Ordinary people live their lives and know how to accumulate wealth. How can you spend it in such a hurry? After two years, wait for the treasury It is full, and it will not be too late to restart road construction.”

Leng Feng couldn't help but glanced at Changsun Wuji who had retreated to his seat.

When Fang Xuanling said that Chu Suiliang had become the eldest grandson Wuji's younger brother, he still thought it was impossible.

How could a servant be willing to submit to others.
