Li Ji nodded, and Wei Fufeng hurriedly said: "Uncle, Fufeng plans to buy a house in Chang'an. Please allow Mingyu to enter and leave the house on his own."

Li Ji was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "You want to buy a house in Chang'an City?"

"Yes, if Fufeng gets married, he would like to live in Chang'an." Wei Fufeng replied. He knew why Li Ji was surprised. He was surprised that he could actually have money to buy a house.

After the war in Chang'an City, although housing prices plummeted, they were still much more expensive than other state cities.

Li Ji nodded, and then asked: "I heard that you have been to Bashu. Tell me about the situation in Bashu."

Wei Fufeng narrated the current situation of Bashu. After half an hour, he said goodbye and left the Li Mansion. He led his subordinates out of Yanxing Gate before the city gate closed.

Outside the city, he ordered two of his subordinates to pretend to be couriers and go to Jinzhou via Kugu Road to deliver official documents. He rushed back to Lantian County overnight.

The next morning, we entered Lantian County, took a bath and rested at noon, and listened to business reports.

In the afternoon, we left Lantian County by car and returned to Shangluo County. After entering the county, we went to an inn to rest and wash our hands.

After bathing, eating, and resting for a while at the inn, Wei Fufeng returned to Changshi Mansion alone and went directly to see his grandfather.

Wei Fufeng's impression of his grandfather was that he was a wise man who was good at being an official. He needed his grandfather's support for matters in Jinzhou, and he could at least order his father to be the county magistrate.

Wei Fufeng also thought about finding someone to replace him, but firstly, it was not easy to find a suitable person, and secondly, it would lead to a bad reputation for being unfilial.

Sooner or later, his affairs will be known to Webster. There are some taboo things that must be handled with caution.

Asking for an audience outside the gate of his grandfather's courtyard, the boy soon sent a message asking Wei Fufeng to come in and see him.

Wei Fufeng was admitted to the hospital and went to the study. After entering, he respectfully paid homage to his grandfather and presented him with official documents.

Grandfather glanced at Wei Fufeng in confusion, opened the official document, looked at it, raised his head and said in surprise: "You have been to Chang'an and asked for the position of county magistrate for your father."

"Yes, my grandson has something he would like to discuss confidentially with his grandfather." Wei Fufeng said respectfully.

Grandfather nodded and waved his hands, and the children in the study retreated out.

Grandfather looked at Wei Fufeng and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Grandpa, do you think the county magistrate of Jinzhou is worthy of being appointed?" Wei Fufeng asked.

"It's not worth it. Today's Jinzhou is poor and banditry is rampant. Being a county magistrate is not worth the gain, and it is easy to lose one's life." Grandfather replied calmly.

"My grandfather knew clearly that my grandson asked for the county magistrate of Jinzhou for his father, with the intention of seizing Jinzhou." Wei Fufeng said.

"Oh, what are you going to do to seize Jinzhou? A county magistrate position is not enough." Grandfather responded calmly, staring at Wei Fufeng, obviously taking it seriously.

"To seize power in troubled times, we naturally have to rely on military strength. If my grandson is not talented, he has a thousand soldiers in his hands." Wei Fufeng replied.

"Oh, could it be that your great-uncle brought you back the military strength?" Grandfather subconsciously stood up and asked.

"Not uncle, but a descendant of the ancestor Wei Gao. Uncle Wei, the military governor of southern Sichuan, ordered his grandson to escort the emperor to Chang'an." Wei Fufeng replied.

"Jidu Envoy of Southern Sichuan?" Grandfather asked unexpectedly, obviously having never heard of it.

"Shortly after the establishment of the Jiedu Envoy in southern Sichuan, Sun'er was ordered to pay tribute to Chang'an. He met with His Majesty the Emperor and was granted the title of Marquis of Fufeng. He was appointed as the military envoy of Fufeng and led a thousand soldiers to participate in the rebellion in Hedong." Wei Fufeng explained.

At this moment, in order to solve the crisis in southern Sichuan, he could only choose to cooperate with his relatives.

Anyway, regardless of success or failure, he can establish another

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The family member wants to be a rich man, but the bottom line of cooperation is that relatives must not be allowed to participate in the rule of southern Sichuan.

Grandfather looked at Wei Fufeng in surprise. After a few breaths, he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, this time you went out and gained a lot."

Wei Fufeng said: "Although my grandson has gained something, he has also made the feudal town hostile. He was worried that it would bring harm to the family, so he did not dare to report it to his grandfather."

"Oh, then why did you say it again?" Grandfather asked.

"Due to new changes in Bashu, Dongchuan Jiedushi Gu Yanlang died of illness. Sun'er speculated that Shannan Jiedushi Yang Shouliang, Longjian Jiedushi and Wuding Jiedushi might send troops to capture Dongchuan.

Once Dongchuan is captured, southern Sichuan will be unable to support itself." Wei Fufeng replied.

Grandfather nodded thoughtfully and said: "Jinzhou is located to the east of Xingyuan Prefecture and Yangzhou. Yangzhou is the seat of Wuding Jiedushi. If you want to capture Jinzhou, wait until Wuding's army and the Shannan West Road army move south to capture it.

Dongchuan, you attack the empty Yangzhou and Xingyuan Prefecture from Jinzhou."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "Grandpa has a clear vision."

"When were the Longjian Jiedushi and the Sichuan Southern Jiedushi established?" Grandfather asked.

"The Southern Sichuan Jiedushi was established when the grandson entered Sichuan, with jurisdiction over Yuzhou, Changzhou, Luzhou and Rongzhou. The Longjian Jiedushi was established two months ago, with jurisdiction over Longzhou, Jianzhou, Langzhou and

Lizhou." Wei Fufeng replied.

Grandfather nodded and said: "The envoy Longjian Jiedushi occupied Jianzhou, which opened the door to Dongchuan. It seems that Yang Fugong is impatient to plot against Bashu."

Wei Fufeng said: "My grandfather thinks it is inappropriate to plot the Jinzhou, so you can ignore your grandson's actions."

Grandfather looked at Wei Fufeng and whispered: "This opportunity must not be missed. Times will come again. Grandfather just wants to be safe. Can you succeed? If your uncle is dismissed from office after being accused, we won't even be able to drink a bowl of porridge."

Wei Fufeng perked up, and unexpectedly his grandfather asked again: "After plotting against Jinzhou, how many troops can your uncle in southern Sichuan mobilize to station in Jinzhou? If it's just a thousand troops, that's child's play."

"We can mobilize five thousand soldiers." Wei Fufeng replied.

"Where's the food? Jinzhou can't raise an army." Grandfather asked again.

"The grain reserves in southern Sichuan can supply Jinzhou with five thousand military grains." Wei Fufeng replied.

"Okay, food is the foundation of everything." Grandfather said excitedly, and subconsciously walked out of the case.

Looking at his grandfather approaching, Wei Fufeng asked: "Grandpa, what do you think we should do?"

Grandfather thought for a moment and said, "It would be great if he had the official position of long history."

"My grandson requested the official position of chief historian, but Lord Li Ding's second son stood in the way and refuted my grandson's father-in-law's request, and finally became the county magistrate." Wei Fufeng replied.

Grandfather was slightly startled, then sneered: "It is short-sighted to have the right not to use it, but even if you are a county magistrate, you can successfully serve in Jinzhou."

Wei Fufeng nodded in agreement and asked, "The county magistrate is too young, what should I do?"

Grandfather drew his beard and said: "The role of the county magistrate is that it can be greatest without the county magistrate. What you have to do is to quietly control the state government and kill the county magistrate."

Wei Fufeng said: "My grandson raided and blocked the state government office, but he was worried that he would not be able to hide it for long."

Grandfather smiled and said: "If you can seal off the state government in time, grandpa will go to Jinzhou to be the governor, sit in charge of the state government and exercise power, and govern Jinzhou with tacit understanding with your father."

"Grandfather, my grandson is worried that it will not last long. Jinzhou is under the rule of Wu Ding Jiedushi." Wei Fufeng reiterated.

Grandfather said: "Wu Ding Jiedushi

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Under the rule, the governor Yang Shoubo was in charge. They were both Yang Fugong's adopted sons. In addition, there was a flood in Jinzhou and banditry was rampant. Wuding Jiedushi's mentality was to avoid trouble. As long as the sacrifices were paid, Wuding Jiedushi would not pay attention.

Golden State.”

Wei Fufeng nodded, and his grandfather continued: "Fufeng, our capture of Jinzhou is actually a bet. Success or failure depends on God's will."

Wei Fufeng nodded, his plan to seek the governor of southern Sichuan was also a step-by-step bet.

I heard my grandfather say again: "Today's emperor relies heavily on the prime minister to govern the country. Yang Fugong will be overthrown sooner or later. It is worth betting to capture Jinzhou."

Wei Fufeng nodded, and his grandfather continued: "Even if the Jinzhou incident is revealed, as the governor of Jinzhou, my grandfather will either support troops to fight against the invasion, or run away and take refuge in Chang'an."

"Grandpa, your official position as chief historian is Shangzhou?" Wei Fufeng reminded with some worry, worried that the old man might be too excited and forget everything.

Grandfather shook his head and said: "Do you think Li Ding is the only one we can turn to? If we seize Jinzhou quietly, grandfather will send a secret letter to Prime Minister Du Rangneng, and the governor of Shang will secretly be transferred to the governor of Jin."

Wei Fufeng was surprised and said: "It turns out that my grandfather and Du Zai have a good relationship."

Grandfather smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "How can you be friends with me? You must know that Privy Councilor Yang Fugong and the Prime Minister are at odds with each other. If we seize Yang Fugong's power, we are on the same camp as the Prime Minister. With your uncle's influence, Prime Minister Du will definitely agree.

It is not difficult to ask for a long-term historical adjustment that has become a fact."

Wei Fufeng suddenly understood and said: "Grandpa, please explain to your grandson's father the matter of seizing Jinzhou."

Grandfather shook his head and said: "Your father cannot know that he lacks courage and is dull and cannot do great things."

Wei Fufeng was silent, and his grandfather added: "Among my seven sons, your father is the best educated. He was born in a peaceful world. He will definitely have the greatest achievements and be able to honor his ancestors. But in troubled times, his dullness has become a fatal weakness."

Wei Fufeng was silent, and his grandfather reached out and patted his shoulder again, saying gently: "Although you are young, you are the most courageous among our grandchildren. I am pleased."

Wei Fufeng could only remain silent. He did not want to express his gratitude. He saw his grandfather walking to the door and asked the child to call his father.

Grandfather came back and said seriously: "Fufeng, this matter cannot be made public, and the fact that you are the military envoy of Fufeng must be concealed, so only you, your father and your fourteenth uncle, plus grandfather and some close associates are involved in this matter.

"

"Grandpa has confidants, but they are servants in the house?" Wei Fufeng asked sensitively.

Grandfather smiled and said: "My grandfather was a county captain in Deng County and an official in Shangzhou for many years. How could he not have Baishi subordinates? However, the world is difficult. If the benefits of subordinates cannot be given for a long time, people's hearts will gradually turn away."

Wei Fufeng nodded in understanding. Although Suizhou Yang Sima whom he met before was also a false official, he also had many subordinates following him.

People who hold official positions have a leadership qualification that people can rely on.

However, to have an official position, you need to have financial resources to win over the hearts of those who depend on you.

Yang Sima went all the way to join Yang Shouliang. He relied on providing food, clothing and property to his subordinates on weekdays, plus the hope of maintaining his official position, so that his subordinates followed him.

If it becomes a lost dog with nowhere to go, I'm afraid the family will be separated long ago.

Grandfather and grandson again planned what to do. Grandfather was indeed a senior official. He spoke eloquently and was very familiar with the personnel and geography of Jinzhou.

Wei Fufeng knew in his heart that his grandfather might have a plan to flee Shangzhou.
