Chapter 88 Uncle
Han Rui followed behind, secretly glad that he was respectful to Wei Fufeng. He was born as a rogue. After arriving at Yancen City, he soon learned about the southern Sichuan and Qianzhong Road from the defenders.
Jiedu envoys were established in southern Sichuan, with hundreds of thousands of people under their control and tens of thousands of troops.
Han Rui originally thought that Master Chang Shi had reached an alliance with the military governor of southern Sichuan, and the southern Sichuan army came to Jinzhou to help in the war. It turned out that southern Sichuan and Jinzhou were from the same family.
Wei Xun walked out of the Prefectural Government Office. He had served in the Ministry of Rites for a long time and habitually valued official etiquette. Although Wei Fufeng was his junior, his official position and title were above him, so he went out to greet him.
In fact, there is another important hidden factor. Wei Xun subconsciously believed that he was an official of Wei Fufeng. Before his father Wei Zhaodu went to Luoyang, he said that Jinzhou was actually occupied by Wei Fufeng.
Although Wei Xun is the son of a prime minister, he is cautious and disciplined in his actions. To put it bluntly, he is afraid of discrediting his father. In addition, he has been serving as the official of Qingshui for many years. In recent years, he has become more and more low-key because of his father's unfavorable career.
A powerless official who has been oppressed for many years suddenly gains a respected position of real power. Psychologically, he is afraid that this is a dream, and he is also very grateful to the 'beneficiary' who gave him such a respected position.
Wei Fufeng saw his uncle in a red official robe walking out. He had seen him when he was worshiping his ancestors, but Wei Xun may not remember Wei Fufeng.
Wei Fufeng saluted before leaving, almost at the same time as Wei Xun who walked out of the mansion.
Both of them were startled. Wei Xun, who was accustomed to official courtesy, quickly responded and continued: "The governor of Junzhou has met the military envoy."
Wei Fufeng accepted the gift without moving, then bowed respectfully and said, "My nephew Wei Fufeng pays homage to my uncle."
The two of them greeted each other and entered the state government office together as they liked each other.
After walking to the second hall and sitting down to talk, Wei Fufeng was concerned about whether his uncle was used to coming to Junzhou and what his needs were. He naturally changed the topic and explained the purpose of his trip.
After hearing this, Wei Xun was stunned and said in confusion: "It is okay to build a Taoist temple and it can calm the people's hearts, but I'm afraid it's inappropriate to move Bao'en Temple."
Wei Fufeng said sternly: "Grandfather would not order the temple to be moved without any reason. Bao'en Temple was built as a gift from the emperor. It was my grandfather's intention to make it the palace of the royal family, so that the new Jiedushi would not be able to win the hearts of Junzhou."
Wei Xun was about to speak but stopped, feeling that what he had done was too sinister and that future generations would destroy the buildings given by their ancestors. This was a very serious act of treason and was criticized and despised.
Although Wei Xun felt bad, he couldn't refute that his uncle shouldn't have done that.
Seeing Wei Xun's troubled expression, Wei Fufeng added: "I just informed my uncle about this matter. For the specific matter, my grandfather ordered Han Rui to execute it."
Wei Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the matter didn't concern him, then he was worried about another matter and asked: "Fufeng, the Xicheng County Prince has come to Yancen City, how should I treat him?"
"Treat him with courtesy and meet his usual requirements for food and clothing. When it comes to military affairs, he says he can't be the master. Please ask the prince to ask the governor of Jinzhou. He can walk around in the city, but he is not allowed to leave the city or go up the tower. Even if he has an uncle
Even if you don't have permission, the guard will not let him go." Wei Fufeng replied.
Wei Xun nodded with confidence in his heart, and then heard Wei Fufeng say: "My nephew's feeling is that my eldest uncle is the same as my uncle, they are both upright gentlemen. Unfortunately, today is a world where etiquette and law are broken. Gentlemen fight with scoundrels.
You are bound to suffer a loss."
Wei Xun felt warm and sympathetic after hearing this. No one wants to admit that they are incompetent and will use external excuses and comforts when they have nothing to achieve.
"Uncle, this is the Jinzhou tea that my father asked his nephew to bring to my uncle." Wei Fufeng took out a delicate small box from his sleeve. In fact, it was his own tea.

Prepared.
Ah! Wei Xun responded, stood up and stretched out his hands to take it, cherishing it in his sleeves, and then asked kindly: "How is my tenth brother doing in Jinzhou?"
"My father served as county magistrate in Jinzhou and was very diligent in civil affairs. My second uncle suggested that my father serve as governor of Jinzhou, but my father was willing to continue to manage civil affairs." Wei Fufeng said with a smile, and the conversation between the two turned to family matters and relatives.
.
...
The next day in Yancen City, Wei Fufeng and his two lovers went to Wudang Mountain. In addition to one hundred Fufeng troops, Lin Hu led five hundred garrison troops to follow.
Lin Hu has left the Jincheng Army and has been transferred to the right captaincy of Junzhou. He recently persuaded more than 3,000 mountain bandits to surrender. He came down the mountain to become a naturalized good citizen or made meritorious service in regiment training. Wei Liang appointed him as the right captain.
The Zuo Duwei and the Right Duwei were both in charge of the garrison and were local military attachés who obeyed the orders of the governor, equivalent to the position of military envoy.
Due to the new acquisition of Junzhou, the gate defenders of Yancen City were not subject to the control of the governor and only obeyed the orders of the Jincheng military envoy.
When leaving Yancen City, Wei Fufeng went to Baoen Temple to have a look.
From the outside, Baoen Temple is very dilapidated. I heard from Han Rui that there are more than 200 monks. Although Baoen Temple was built by the emperor, the life of Baoen Temple was quite difficult during Feng Xingxing's reign.
Wei Fufeng ordered Han Rui to act on the orders of the Xicheng County King and load as many Buddhist objects as possible in Baoen Temple, especially scriptures and inscriptions, and to satisfy whatever the monk wanted to bring with him.
Han Rui was naturally willing to serve Lord Jiedushi. When Wei Fufeng left, he mobilized troops to besiege Bao'en Temple, coerced the monks of Bao'en Temple to move away, told the monks to take with them what they could, and sent them to another large temple.
Continue to practice.
Faced with the unreasonableness of Master Bing, the monks had to pack their bags.
Han Rui ordered his subordinates to carefully remove the Buddha statue and load it into the truck. He knew that if the mission was successfully completed, there would be long-term benefits in the future.
After the monks moved away, Han Rui hired many craftsmen to demolish the Buddhist temple and use the available materials to build the palace. The relocated monks were escorted back to Yuzhou by 200 Sichuan troops.
...
Matters that harm the reputation were handled by his subordinates. Wei Fufeng and his party returned to Shanshui Temple. The military was stationed several hundred meters away. Wei Fufeng only brought ten guards to Shanshui Temple.
After entering the temple, he first worshiped the gods, and then Lin Qingxue went to see his mother. Wei Fufeng took out the ink sketch and asked the female Taoist priest to look at it and ask for her opinions.
After looking at the sketch, the female Taoist priest said calmly: "Your scale is too big, so there is no need to spend so much money."
"Why did the emperor build a glorious palace? The main purpose was to show his nobility and authority. Although Taoism advocates tranquility and inaction, it also yearns for the blessed land of immortals. The idea of younger generations. The most useful way to prosper Taoism in Wudang Mountain is to build a revered blessed land.
." Wei Fufeng explained.
The female Taoist priest said calmly: "The essence of the matter is that everything must be reversed. Such a wasteful construction will only cause public resentment and the gain will outweigh the loss."
"This is just a mountain map for future generations. The construction is gradual year by year. First, a Nuwa Palace is built on the top, a Xuanwu Palace and the Turtle and Snake Temple are built in the middle. The Earth Mountain God is built below, and then the side halls, Jugeyunfang, etc. are built year by year.
Dan Palace, mountain steps and pavilions." Wei Fufeng explained.
The female Taoist priest nodded and said, "It's possible if you don't rush for success."
Wei Fufeng smiled and said: "The autumn harvest is approaching, and we will be able to send people to transport bricks to the mountain in the near future."
The female Taoist priest said calmly: "Actually, the most important thing you should do now is to maintain your strength."
Wei Fufeng smiled and said: "Senior
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I believe that the most important thing now is to gain the approval of the people. With the approval of the people, the military morale of the Junzhou soldiers can serve us. Otherwise, they will inevitably rebel or fail to contribute."
The female Taoist priest said calmly: "I thought it would take you a few years to enter Junzhou, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"If you can seize the opportunity, you will naturally gain something. If Junzhou doesn't see the opportunity for a long time, the younger generations will only be intimidated." Wei Fufeng replied.
The female Taoist priest nodded and asked: "How sure are you that we will not lose Junzhou?"
"According to the available information, the Zhongyi Army is facing the chaos in Huainan and the threat of the Xuanwu Army in the north. For the time being, it can only stick to the controllable state areas. Junzhou, Fangzhou and Jinzhou have already established Zhaoxin Jiedushi and the Zhongyi Army.
There is no such thing as the great righteousness of being a teacher with a reputation." Wei Fufeng replied.
"So, Junzhou will be able to live in peace in the near future." said the female Taoist priest.
"I don't dare to say that peace is guaranteed. There are many variables in troubled times. Even if the loyal army is unable to go west, there are still Chinese businessmen in the north and Jingnan in the south. I heard that Feng Xingxi ran away to Jingnan." Wei Fufeng
answer.
"The Jingnan area has been seriously harmed and will not be exposed to the outside world for the time being. The Chinese merchant Jiedushi is said to be a powerful vassal." said the female Taoist priest.
"Jingnan should not be underestimated. I heard that Cheng Ru has 50,000 elite troops and may be interested in entering Fangzhou." Wei Fufeng said.
"Oh? Not long after the war in Jingnan, were there so many people?" the female Taoist priest said unexpectedly.
"After Cheng Ru occupied Jingnan, a lot of people from Jingnan returned from the mountains and other places." Wei Fufeng replied.
The female Taoist priest nodded and said calmly: "A poor Taoist will not care about secular affairs. The donor will do what he can."
Wei Fufeng respectfully said yes, and the female Taoist priest turned around and left. Wei Fufeng went to the back to see his mother-in-law.
...
Lin Qingxue stayed in the mountains to accompany her mother, while Wei Fufeng took Xiaoxue and the army back to Yancen City.
When they entered the city, it was already the time when the lanterns were on. Han Rui reported back about the Baoen Temple. Wei Fufeng was satisfied and asked Han Rui to find a brick-making and construction craftsman to meet him tomorrow.
After Han Rui left, Wei Fufeng walked to Juge and saw the dimly lit Juge outside.
A smile appeared on Wei Fufeng's lips. During the siege, he rarely met Xiaoxue. Ever since he took Lin Qingxue by his side, he had almost never been close to Xiaoxue.
He walked to the door, pushed open the ajar wooden door and walked in. Ten guards stood guard outside silently. When the time came, another fire guard would take over. Amber's father still stayed in Yun County to guard.
"Young Master is here, the water is hot, let's soak your feet first." Seeing Wei Fufeng come in, Xiaoxue took a few steps forward and whispered softly.
Wei Fufeng nodded with a warm heart, turned around and closed the door. After turning around, Xiaoxue helped him undress, then went to sit on a chair, took off his boots, put his feet into the wooden basin, feeling warm and comfortable.
Wei Fufeng enjoyed it for a while, then stretched out his right hand to grab Xiaoxue's hand, gently pulled Xiaoxue into his lap, hugged her with his arms, extended his neck to kiss the jade-like cheek, and Xiaoxue shyly cuddled up to Wei Fufeng's chest.
After being gentle for a while, Xiaoxue asked softly: "Master, why don't you consummate your marriage with your mistress?"
"I think after the grand ceremony, I don't want to treat you badly." Wei Fufeng replied gently.
"The young master and his mistress should get married as early as possible. The mistress' age means that she can get pregnant as early as possible." Xiaoxue whispered.
Wei Fufeng Qing was thinking that it would be good to marry Lin Qingxue there. Lin Qingxue's relatives were all in Junzhou, so he should marry Lin Qingxue in Junzhou.
However, it was difficult for his father and grandfather to come to Junzhou, especially his grandfather, who was very prejudiced against him risking his life to find Lin Qingxue.
