Looking at it from another perspective, Li Ding's change of marriage to a legitimate daughter actually showed a kind of political sincerity.

Wei Fufeng looked at Fourteenth Mother and said gently: "Fourteenth Mother, what do you think?"

"Sister treats me very well, and I like to be with her for a long time." Fourteenth Mother answered innocently.

There was a bitter smile on Wei Fufeng's lips, and he stretched out his left hand to touch Si Si Niang's hair. His heart was full of love and helplessness. This matter was really unfair to Si Si Niang, but he still belonged to an outsider. The Li family was willing to marry that daughter.

No right to interfere.

"Fifteenth Mother, go check on my subordinate and ask him what he needs?" Wei Fufeng excused himself.

The Fourteenth Mother nodded in response, turned around and walked away from the room. Wei Fufeng turned to face Mingyu and asked gently: "Mingyu, what do you think?"

Mingyu shook his head and whispered: "I don't know this. This is not something I should talk about."

Wei Fufeng said gently: "I'm asking you, Jiuniang or Fourteenth Niang, which one is suitable to be the eldest lady? If you think Jiuniang is not suitable, I can only ask for Fourteenth Niang."

Mingyu smiled bitterly with her red lips and whispered: "Young master, this is embarrassing my servant. In my opinion, Miss Ninth is suitable to be the eldest lady. Miss Ninth is gentle, polite and kind-hearted. Miss Fourteen is a little younger. Compared with Miss Ninth,

It lacks the ladylike demeanor of everyone.”

Wei Fufeng looked at Mingyu and said gently: "You like the 14th Niang to be the eldest lady, but you think the 9th Niang is suitable to be the eldest lady."

Mingyu nodded and said: "The heroine of a family not only has to take care of the family affairs, but also handles the courtesy of foreign affairs. The young master is now the Marquis."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "From now on, you will continue to follow the Fourteenth Mother. If you get a wife's order in the future, you can stay with the Fourteenth Mother to avoid being wronged. If you want to live alone, you can also tell me."

"Well, I thank you, Master, for your care." Mingyu spoke softly.

Wei Fufeng reached out and stroked Mingyu's hair lovingly, then suddenly tilted his head and kissed Mingyu on the cheek.

Mingyu shyly turned to face Wei Fufeng, her shy expression moved Wei Fufeng's heartstrings, and he wanted to embrace the beauty in his arms.

But being in the Li Mansion, Wei Fufeng had to restrain himself, but he was afraid of the embarrassment of the Fourteenth Mother coming back.

...

Dinner was eaten in the penthouse, with only Si Si Niang and Mingyu company. The food was much better than last time, at least the rice was not gruel.

After the meal, Wei Fufeng and Hu Hu's father left the Li Mansion. The prospective father-in-law was not at home, the prospective mother-in-law did not have dinner with him, and it was normal for him not to stay as a guest in the Li Mansion.

On the way back to Pingkangfang, Amber's father said that he had not eaten enough and was afraid of being uncomfortable at night.

Wei Fufeng smiled and responded that he was not full. The two returned to Pingkangfang, where they randomly found a restaurant to have a meal of Hu pancakes, and also eavesdropped on some rumors about Chang'an.

Early the next morning, Wei Fufeng and his subordinates went back to Lantian County, found five military soldiers, and asked them which one was willing to go back to Shizhou to work. All five military soldiers expressed their willingness.

Wei Fufeng made some explanations and asked the five military officers to prepare to leave. There were also forty-five soldiers who went with them, belonging to the five officers and soldiers, so that the military officers had ten general positions.

After joining the army and leaving, Wei Fufeng sent a messenger to Jinzhou to directly look for his fifth uncle to find out whether he was in charge of the military and what the situation was like.

Wei Fufeng has always been unwilling to suffer losses when doing things. He gave the weapons he obtained in Hedong to his grandfather, which is equivalent to the filial piety of his grandson.

If my grandfather distributes it, the soldiers he gets will not remember his hard work.

Just after the messenger left, Li Xian came by car.

Wei Fufeng went out to welcome him and sat down in the living room. He complained directly: "Second uncle, I am very good with the Fourteenth Niang, why bother involving the Nine Niang."

Li Xian was startled, and then said with a straight face: "Wei Shijun's opinion is inappropriate. How can my father neglect Prime Minister Wei's proposal of marriage? Originally, he was worried that Wei Shijun was a mediocre young man, so he conservatively settled on the fourteenth mother. Now he knows

Wei Shijun is a great talent, so my father needs to worry about the opinions of Prime Minister Wei and the Governor Wei. The marriage between a legitimate daughter and a concubine is very different in the minds of senior officials."

Wei Fufeng smiled helplessly and said: "But it is unfair to the Fourteenth Mother."

Li Xian shook his head and said: "Everyone has his own destiny. After all, Jiuniang is a member of the royal family. It can make many nobles look up to Wei Shijun and psychologically be willing to submit to him."

Wei Fufeng frowned, and Li Xian added: "What you said is not pleasant to hear, but if Wei Shijun's power wants to prosper, he must embrace all rivers and rely only on refugees as the foundation. Perhaps he can only stay in Anchuan."

Wei Fufeng smiled helplessly and said: "I can't care about things that are too far away. The subordinates who are assisting my second uncle are already on standby."

Li Xian nodded, saluted and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Wei."

Wei Fufeng nodded and asked: "Second uncle, do you think His Majesty the Emperor can deal with Yang Fugong in the near future?"

Li Xian shook his head and replied: "It's difficult. Although the emperor is a man who is eager for success, his courage is only average. He does not dare to deal with Yang Fugong without ensuring self-protection."

"If there was a way to embolden the emperor, would the emperor be willing to deal with Yang Fugong?" Wei Fufeng said.

"What method?" Li Xian asked solemnly and attentively.

Wei Fufeng smiled lightly and said: "I heard that the emperor trusts Zhang Jun very much?"

"Yes, most of the courtiers opposed this rebellion against Hedong. Only Zhang Jun advocated the rebellion, and the emperor listened to Zhang Jun's words." Li Xian replied.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "Since the emperor hopes that Hedong will return to the army, Zhang Jun can be asked to suggest that the emperor return part of the army. For example, the five thousand troops guarding Shizhou have basically respected Sun Kui. Sun Kui can be allowed to lead them back and give them

The emperor takes courage."

Li Xian nodded thoughtfully, and Wei Fufeng added: "Second uncle went to see Zhang Jun in person and said that Yang Fugong intended to sabotage the operation of military supplies and blatantly colluded with Li Keyong from Hedong. Once the imperial army went to war with the Hedong army, many of Yang Fugong's followers would be on the battlefield.

The defeat was deliberate, so Yang Fugong must be eradicated and Sun Kui be allowed to take charge of the military operations in the rear."

Li Xian nodded and said: "This is a wonderful strategy, Zhang Jun will definitely be willing to accept it."

"Second uncle can write a letter and send it to Hedong immediately to Zhang Jun to prevent Sun Kui from going to Luzhou to take office." Wei Fufeng said.

Li Xian nodded, but then said: "Wei Shijun, if Zhang Jun wins in Hedong, will it be detrimental to your military governor in southern Sichuan?"

Wei Fufeng shook his head and said: "My biggest enemy at the moment is Yang Fugong's Bashu army. My foothold in southern Sichuan is not stable and I cannot withstand brutal war. As long as Yang Shouliang becomes a traitor to the court, the defensive pressure in southern Sichuan will be relieved a lot."

Li Xian nodded and said, "Yang Shouliang has not invaded southern Sichuan so far. Do you have any concerns?"

"I have no scruples, but I can't rush into southern Sichuan. Southern Sichuan is remote. The recent focus of Yang Fugong's power is to take over the four states under the rule of Longjian Jiedushi, especially Jianzhou and Longzhou, which originally belonged to Dongchuan Jiedushi.

, It can even be said that Yang Fugong’s first goal was Dongchuan. If Dongchuan was captured, southern Sichuan would lose its barrier." Wei Fufeng explained.

Li Xian nodded, stood up and said, "I will leave now and write letters in the car.

"

"I will send my second uncle off." Wei Fufeng stood up to see off the guests.

After Li Xian left, Wei Fufeng began to arrange for the garrison in Chang'an City. He sent people to Qinglongfang and Quchifang in Chang'an City to buy many houses, and asked his subordinates to tell the residents of those two houses that the troops were stationed in accordance with the emperor's order.

Where the general military force was stationed, the residents were unwilling to stay, and in Sanfang near Quchi, most of the residents were lost.

The city of Chang'an is rich in the north and poor in the south, rich in the east and empty in the west. The closer to the residences of the Daming Palace, the more prosperous and crowded they are.

Before noon the next day, the messenger who went to Jinzhou returned.

Wei Fufeng learned that his fifth uncle was leading an army to suppress bandits, and he had five hundred soldiers under his command. Tongshan and Tianwen were under his fifth uncle's command, and the five hundred soldiers were a mixture of Jinzhou regiment training and former county government soldiers.

The fifth uncle's subordinates were poorly equipped, with more than thirty bows and arrows, and only thirteen people wearing armor, all of whom were big and small leaders.

When the fifth uncle heard that the weapons were being given, he had already led his army from Kugu Road to Jingzhao Mansion and arranged to meet at Kugukou.

After receiving the news that his fifth uncle had arrived, Wei Fufeng could not neglect it and personally led the army to escort the weapons to Kugukou, but he arrived early.

At dusk, the fifth uncle led his subordinates out of the Kugu Pass.

As soon as they met, Uncle Wu's father gave Wei Fufeng a close blow and said with a smile: "You boy, you are lucky to be able to return home safely from your trip to the east of Hedong."

Wei Fufeng smiled at each other and said, "I heard that my fifth uncle was appointed as the military envoy of Jincheng. Fufeng was also happy."

The fifth uncle waved his hand and said: "The emperor opened his mouth to give you a false official, but he would be able to lead the Jinzhou regiment without giving it. What about the weapons you mentioned? Let uncle open his eyes."

Wei Fufeng smiled, asked his fifth uncle to go to the vehicle, opened the cloth to reveal the bow and saber, and introduced: "There are three hundred military bows, three thousand arrows, three hundred sabers, and a set of armor, which is for Tongshan."

"Okay, Tongshan, come here." The fifth uncle turned around and called happily.

The tall Tongshan responded and strode over.

Wei Fufeng waved his hand, and one of his subordinates took out a piece of armor from the car. Tongshan's eyes lit up when he saw it.

Wei Fufeng smiled and said: "This is the heavy armor of the Hedong general. Is it suitable to put it on?"

Tong Shan nodded hurriedly, reached out and took off his chainmail, and put on a heavy armor. Fufeng Jun stood aside and took out another iron spear and handed it to Tong Shan.

Tong Shan Ti is majestic, like a god of war with an iron tower, even more majestic than Amber's father who is also wearing armor.

The fifth uncle's subordinates came over spontaneously and looked at Tongshan in armor with admiration.

The fifth uncle laughed and said: "Okay, Tongshan alone is enough to defeat the Jinzhou bandits."

Everyone nodded. With such armor on his body, he could not be harmed by ordinary bows, arrows, swords and guns. With Tongshan's strength and bravery, he could charge into the stronghold without any hesitation.

Tian Wendao: "Sir, this seems to be the armor of Mo Daojun."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "This armor is the battle armor of Hedong Cavalry General, and it is indeed the armor left over from the Modao Army of the Tang Dynasty. It is just that our army killed more than 200 cavalrymen who did not use Modao, but it cannot be given to those who did not use Modao."

bare hill."

The Fifth Uncle's subordinates were moved after hearing this. Everyone knew how powerful the Hedong Army was, especially the cavalry, which was a nightmare for the infantry. Their eyes turned to the Fufeng Army again.

I saw two hundred soldiers in bright light, three hundred soldiers in linen clothes with crossbows on their backs and sabers on their waists, and the iron tower general standing majestically behind the Fufeng army.

There were so many crossbowmen and armored men that the fifth uncle's subordinates believed in killing more than 200 cavalry.
