Li Zhen nodded and said, "Chu Yu is grateful to his subordinates and believes that the king's situation has come true, similar to Cao Cao's powerful force in all directions, and has the foundation of ascending the throne and becoming emperor. He is willing to join the king."

Zhu Wen nodded and said, "Let him come in."

Li Zhen said: "The king, my subordinates had a deep conversation with Li Yu, and he proposed the conditions for resignation."

"You said." Zhu Wen waved his hand.

Li Zhen said: "Li Yu heard that Zhang Quanyi from Luoyang was moved to the position of the governor of the Tianping Army. He wanted to serve as the governor of the Xuanyi Army and get the power of Lord Xie Tong to assist the king in the wealth and wealth to conquer the Rong."

Zhu Wen was surprised and said, "I recognize him as the governor of Wuning Army."

Li Zhen said: "Li Yu said he had no intention of taking charge of independent vassal states. He served as the governor of Xuanyi Army and would not change the direct jurisdiction of the king. He wanted wealth in the south and fortune in the north and took root in Zhengzhou to become a wealthy official."

"South wealth and fortune in the north?" Zhu Wen whispered.

Li Zhen explained: "Li Yu ruled Jiangning with real power. Jiangning has a population of 1.3 million, agricultural income and business prosperity. He can get 30,000 yuan in a year. He is willing to contribute 10,000 yuan in silver to the king. Other silver will be transported to Zhengzhou to take root."

"Is there a population of one million and three million? Is there that many?" Zhu Wen questioned.

Li Zhen said: "Absolutely, the previous information, Jiangning had a population of one million, and the additional 300,000 should have been reorganized under the rule of Li Yu."

Zhu Wen frowned and said, "He is willing to join me in the king's population."

Li Zhen explained: "Li Yu only governs Jiangning with real power, and cannot tell the truth about the commander Wu Ning army.

The military power stationed in Jiangning is mainly under the jurisdiction of Li Shenfu. Li Shenfu does not manage the government. As long as there is no shortage of military supplies, Li Shenfu will not interfere with Li Yu's authority."

Zhu Wen thought for a moment and said, "You said, is it Yang Xingmi's trick?"

Li Zhen replied: "Li Yu only wants to get the power of Lord Xie Tong. His concept of wealth and honor should not be in charge of power and soldiers. He wants to be a noble family who is not bullied by local officials."

Zhu Wen seemed to be thinking.

Li Zhen said again: "King, Li Yu is unwilling to take charge of military power to go to war. He has never led troops to war in the south. He is optimistic that the king is like Cao Cao, with a great talent and strategy to unify the world, and seek stability and wealth as soon as possible."

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "You are eager to make contributions."

Li Zhen said respectfully: "My subordinates have always been cautious. Since Li Yu said he would pay tribute to the king and not give him military power to make trouble, he would not be able to make a fuss."

Zhu Wensurong said: "The territory of Xuanyi Army belongs to the foundation of this king, how can we take the risk of attracting wolves into the house?"

Li Zhen hesitated and said, "King, although Li Yu didn't say it, his subordinates know that Li Yu can still choose to join the Southern Sichuan Army or the Hangzhou Army."

Zhu Wen frowned and sighed, "You, I am in a state of discomfort recently, you have to cause trouble for me."

Li Zhen said respectfully: "It is related to the great cause of the king to unify the world, and subordinates cannot neglect their duties."

"Okay, okay, let him in." Zhu Wen waved his hand and said.

"King, Li Yu's revenge cannot be revealed." Li Zhen said.

"What are you afraid of in my military life? Let him come in." Zhu Wen responded, agreeing not to have to guard in.

Li Zhen went out in person, Zhu Wen thought about it and suspected Chu Yu's motive.

Li Zhen led Wei Fufeng into Xuande Hall.

Wei Fufeng stopped ten meters away from Zhu Wen, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Subordinate Li Yu received the order of benefactor to send the king to the king."

Zhu Wen looked at it and smiled: "Get up and come close."

"My subordinates have not been accepted by the king yet, so they are not suitable to get too close to the king." Wei Fufeng responded respectfully.

"Well, tell me, why did you join me?" Zhu Wen said.

Wei Fufeng replied: "The king is the strongest, and his subordinates have no intersection with the king. If his subordinates defect to the southern Sichuan army, they may be afraid of Fufeng Hou.

Jiangning, which is under his jurisdiction, has been prosperous since ancient times, but it is only difficult to defend military affairs.

In the future, when Yang Xingmi died, there might be civil strife in the Huainan army, and the Hangzhou army in the southern Sichuan army might start a large war. The subordinates must seek a way out for wealth as soon as possible.

The subordinates took root in Zhengzhou, one was to be able to stay away from the war zone, and the other was that they grew up in Chang'an since childhood and were used to living in the region not far away from Chang'an.

The subordinates have weak control over the Wuning Army and are unlikely to be able to respond internally in the future. Therefore, the subordinates do not seek to make contributions, but seek to be without mistakes."

Zhu Wen said: "Your greatest capital is that your inner support helps me to seize Huainan Road. If you can't be an inner supporter, I am not worthy of serving as the governor of Xuanyi Army for you."

Wei Fufeng hesitated and said, "Master, will the tea from the south be sure to make a profit without losing money when transporting tea from the south to Bianliang?

The king has experienced many battles, can he win every war? His subordinates’ capital is expected. If the king does not agree with the expectations, his subordinates have nothing to say."

Zhu Wen was stunned, and suddenly laughed and stood up, laughing: "It's OK."

Zhu Wen walked towards Wei Fufeng, bent down and looked up, nodded and smiled: "It's pretty, good."

Wei Fufeng took a step back and greeted him respectfully: "I thank the king for accepting it and am willing to serve the king."

Zhu Wen said: "I like you, and you are willing to be my adopted son."

Wei Fufeng was extremely surprised to hear that Zhu Wen actually accepted him as his adopted son. How can he deal with this?

After the Tang Dynasty had many vassal states, the military governors of the vassal states formed a trend of accepting adopted sons.

Li Keyong, the governor of Hedong, accepted many adopted sons. Zhu Yougong, who Wei Fufeng had met, was Zhu Wen's adopted son.

Wei Fufeng was confused and refused, "King, it's not because his subordinates are not polite. He was given the name of Li Yu by his benefactor. He would not let down his benefactor."

Li Zhen hurriedly said, "This is your great blessing. How can I compare with the king? I will not kneel down and kowtow."

Wei Fufeng was helpless and saved his life first. He knelt down on one knee, held his fists and said respectfully: "I kowtow to my father and ask the king to give me a name."

Zhu Wen nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "You and I met Xuande Hall, and I gave the name Zhu Youtang."

"Thank you for your name," Wei Fufeng respectfully bowed his fists and bowed.

Wei Fufeng understands the rules inside and outside. Adopted sons are different from parents and children, and adopted sons are more inclined to subordinates. Therefore, the title should respect the king unless Zhu Wen pointed out what to call him.

"Get up." Zhu Wen said.

Wei Fufeng stood up and said respectfully: "King, the 10,000 silver that the child respects, is transported to Bianliang with tea cloth of equal value."

Zhu Wen said: "You have the intention, Deputy Governor of Xuanyi Army, I served as Zhu Youwen.

Zhu Youwen is another one. You can choose a confidant to serve as the deputy envoy of the Xuan Yi Army, and exercise power on your behalf."

Wei Fufeng said respectfully: "Thank you for your trust, and your subordinates dare not misappropriate taxes and collect the army. He asked the king to grant the Xuanyi Army assistant officer the right to apply for appointment and removal, and allowed his subordinates to have the right to ask the king to adjust the assistant officer."

Zhu Wen frowned, revealing a sense of resistance.

Wei Fufeng said again: "The subordinates do not change the assistant officials in a large manner. They need to intimidate the assistant officials to be respected. Otherwise, if they are persecuted and misleading the matter, they will be punished by the subordinates."

Zhu Wen nodded after thinking about it. Zhu Youtang's request did not have the right to dismiss him.

Wei Fufeng said respectfully: "I report to the king, my subordinates asked Sigong of Zhengzhou to join the army, and moved to the position of the judge of the Jiedushi stationed in Zhengzhou. I asked Zhao Yonghui, the steward of Lord Li Zhen, to join the army, and to propose a subordinate to serve as the county lieutenant of Zhengzhou. The elderly county lieutenant retired."

Zhu Wen looked at Wei Fufeng and said, "You are here prepared."

Wei Fufeng responded respectfully: "The subordinates went through Zhengzhou by detour. They learned that the governor of Zhengzhou did not like Si Gong to join the army. They were basically marginalized. The subordinates intended to gain the respect of Xuanyi Army officials through the three assistant officials."

Zhu Wen nodded and said, "As the saying goes, asking for a price everywhere and paying back the money by land. You cannot serve as the governor of Huazhou. The 10,000 troops stationed in Huazhou can only be the commander of the governor of Huazhou."

Wei Fufeng said: "The king, my subordinates think it is inappropriate and ask the king, the governor of Huazhou, to be in command of the garrison. The king serves as the commander of the marching Sima, and the governor of Huazhou is the same as the governor of Zhengzhou."

Zhu Wen thought about something, and after five breaths, he nodded and said, "I promised you."

Wei Fufeng said respectfully: "Thank you for tolerance,"

Next, Zhu Wen asked Wei Fufeng and Li Zhen to sit down and inquire about the situation in the south.

Finally, Wei Fufeng left alone.

Li Zhen accused: "The king, my subordinates did not recommend their slaves as officials. Please reject Lord Zhu Youtang's proposition."

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "Youtang is meticulous and has a strong sense of self-protection. It is understandable that he is just a state counselor, so it is nothing serious."

Li Zhen said respectfully: "Thank you for your tolerance."

Zhu Wen said: "His request did not touch my bottom line. I hope his duty can have a beginning and an end."

Li Zhen nodded. Chu Yu's request was well-behaved, and he only wanted to intervene in the local rule of Zhengzhou in Huazhou. In fact, he became a high-ranking official who restrained the governor.

The judge of the Jiedushi has the power to supervise and supervise the taxes and taxes under the jurisdiction of the six officials in the prefecture.

Chu Yu became another boss of assistants at all levels through the judge stationed in Zhengzhou.

Zhu Wen looked at the door and thought for a moment, saying, "The Wei Bo Army of the Hedong Army, which was defending the north of the Yellow River, is not suitable for continuing to serve as the governor."

Li Zhen said: "When the king ascended the throne and became emperor, he should establish the six central army. The Hedong army survived, the Wei Bo army surrendered to the king, and the Huazhou garrison could be one of the six armies."

Zhu Wen nodded and whispered: "Luoyang has established the left and right Dragon and Tiger Army, and the other five armies are left and right, the left and right Yulin, the left and right Shenwu, the left and right Tianwu, the left and right Tianwei, and the Huazhou garrison has changed its name to the left and right Tianwu Army."

......

Wei Fufeng walked out of Xuande Hall and was so scared that he breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a cold back, which was a battle of wits and courage this time.

Wei Fufeng walked out of the military mansion and called Han Baoshan to walk away from Liangwangcheng. He did not go back to Li Zhen's house. He walked around Junyi Street to relax and entered a teahouse on the way.

Sitting in the private room, Han Baoshan looked at Wei Fufeng with a longing.

Wei Fufeng looked out the window and recalled Zhu Wen's appearance.

Zhu Wen has a burly figure, a thin face, a hooked nose, a mighty and vicissitudes of life, and the obvious wrinkles on her face look old.

Yang Xingmi, Qian Liu and Zhu Wen, who were contacted by Wei Fufeng.

The three big guys are all in their fifties, Qian Liu is the most young and strong, while Yang Xingmi is in his twilight years.
