Li Longji can imagine how much turmoil the matter will cause in the capital, so that those big families will flock to it, and the powerful and high-ranking families are ready to move, because wealth moves people's hearts, no matter how clear and lofty they say, no one is really indifferent to it.

Even himself, too, the third aunt promised to the palace is a wealth that cannot be ignored, and even better, there is no need to increase taxes or compete with the people, it is simply gold that has fallen from the world.

But he didn't expect that after three days of discussion in the political affairs hall, no conclusion could be reached, and what was finally sent to his desk was a bunch of dissenting notes, and it seemed that both sides had sufficient reasons.

In the final analysis, Liu Ji is too shallow in terms of qualifications and foundation, and his personality is extremely unruly, so he is not a qualified manipulator.

"Li Mao, what about you, what do you think?" He pushed the notes aside and asked.

"I think it's not appropriate to set up a town at this moment."

Li Mao replied.

"Tell me about it."

"The battle of the North Court is imminent, there are no less than tens of thousands of horsemen under the command of Absi, and they have been in our dynasty for a long time, they are familiar with the truth and reality, only in the two towns of the northwest court of An, the whole army is only 44,000 people, and the victory or defeat is still unknown.

"Oh, the political hall thinks that Anxi Town, which has taken some cities with only 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus the entire army of Beiting, has an unknown chance of victory against tens of thousands of rebels who fled in panic?"

Li Longji's words were sharp and aggressive, which shocked Li Mao, who had experienced the majesty of the Son of Heaven for the first time, and he did not expect that the Supreme had already regarded this battle as a victory, and it seemed so natural.

"Er and Geshu County King and the Ministry of War, all thought that this battle is not easy to fight, Absi was a subordinate of the county king, the combat power of the department has always been good, since entering our dynasty, and got many supplements such as armor and weapons, with the ability of the king of Anjun, Fan Yang Pinglu two towns of 100,000 people, can only force him away, far away from Jinshan, not to mention the desert boundless, along the border of thousands of miles, Beiting Prefectures and counties are under its prying, tens of thousands of cavalry come and go like the wind, on the other hand, our army can only be fortified everywhere, its momentum has become passive, the ministers really do not know, where the odds come from."

Li Longji looked at this talkative son, walked down with his hands behind his back, waved his hand to stop him from getting up, and said condescendingly.

"Is Ge Shuhan seconding or dissent?"

"Back to the supreme, the king of Geshu County thinks that the homeland cannot be abandoned, but it is not at this moment, when the war in the North Court is clear, and the momentum of the big victory, it is not too late to forge ahead."

"Ge Shuhan thinks it is necessary to slow down, you think it is necessary to be cautious, Wei Jiansu and Chen Xilie think it is not feasible, Zhang Jun is noncommittal, is that so?"

"Exactly, the son sent people to probe the mouth of the envoy, and the people of Bahan were moved, and most of the countries in the river were quite complaining, Shi, An, Cao and other countries were inclined to our dynasty, and the three tribes of the Tuqi Shi people and the Qarlu tribes were all opposed, and the big cannibals did not have an opinion, and only deduced that they had an alliance with our dynasty for a long time, and the demarcation should be as accurate as the survey, and could not be changed at will."

Li Mao straightened up, took out a document from his sleeve, handed it over, Li Longji took it and took a rough look, it was densely written with the opinions of dozens of countries, except for the few big countries that Li Mao just said, there were also a number of small states, obviously not in favor of the Tang people re-entering the Seven Rivers Valley and confronting the big cannibals, thus causing panic in this area.

"The covenant between the Great Cannibal and our dynasty was made by Wang Zhengjian a year ago."

"Exactly, at that time, Wang Jiedu agreed with them that it was to take the Seven Rivers as the boundary, and neither side was allowed to enter without permission."

"Hmph." Li Longji said coldly: "At this time and that time, hasn't Ge Shuhan thought about why he wants to establish a town at this moment? ”

Li Mao didn't know why, and replied respectfully: "Please teach the Supreme." ”

"What is a great victory, it can be more than the annihilation of the Tubo country!"

Li Longji's voice was cold and harsh, buzzing in his head: "There are so many important ministers, and their knowledge is not as good as that of a sixteen-year-old boy, look at these envoys, which one dares to be tough and not allow us to act?" ”

"That's the trend."

Li Mao was stunned there, the Son of Heaven said well, although the envoys of Zhufan had different opinions, no one dared to refute them, even the big cannibal who had just made a covenant a few years ago only raised objections euphemistically, and he suddenly found that he had done an extremely stupid thing that aroused the disgust of the Supreme, that is, he informed the envoy of this matter without authorization, which would cause all kinds of unnecessary consequences.

What does Datang want to do now, do you need to ask for their opinions?

Looking at the tall back in front of him, Li Mao bowed down deeply.

"I'm reckless, please punish the supreme."

Li Longji turned his head and glanced at him: "You feel that the matter is very important, be cautious, I know, the first consul of the political affairs hall, those old foxes know that it is inappropriate and do not remind you, this is a lesson, I only take a little from you, I have an opinion and is not biased, even if there is something inappropriate, it doesn't matter." ”

"I wrote it down."

Li Mao understood the mind of the Son of Heaven, this town was a foregone conclusion, but he still wanted to fight for it again.

"Broken Leaf Town was originally subordinate to Anxi, is it still the same as it is, and is it under the command of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate?"

Li Longji smiled, this son really didn't just prepare with one hand, seeing that Lizhen was unstoppable, he was going to reach out and grab the dominance.

"And then, who will be the town guard?"

"The subordinate belongs to Tian Zhen, the general of Anxi Town, this person was originally a military envoy of Quy Nhon, and he should be promoted to the town guard envoy in terms of merit, or he can be added to the deputy capital of Beiting."

"Anything else?"

"The king of Geshu County recommended the general of the right guard and the envoy of the Heyuan army, Wang Sili."

"What's wrong with Liu Ji?"

Li Longji asked directly, and Li Mao replied: "There is nothing wrong with him, but the ministers think that generals like Liu Ji should take over as the envoy of the Han Navy and fight on the battlefield." ”

"It's not a matter of age or seniority?"

"It's not."

"Then why, can't he be picked up on one shoulder?"

Li Mao was shocked, the meaning of the Supreme was to let a seventeen-year-old boy serve as the envoy of the Han Navy with the Broken Leaf Town!

"This ......" In a panic, his mind turned sharply, and he finally thought of a reason: "The Kehan Navy is stationed in Jieting Prefecture, and it is thousands of miles away from Broken Leaves." ”

"That's your problem, go and talk to the capital of Beiting to see if he will object."

Li Mao's eyes were straight out of the black line, and most of the Beiting Protector Chang Qing was his father-in-law, how could he disagree, this was obviously unreasonable, but then again, does the Son of Heaven need to be reasonable?

Just when he was about to leave with a lawsuit, a sudden figure left him behind.

The crown prince entered the palace.
