Yuen Long's information in the Han Dynasty palace was very well-informed, which was determined by his status.
Not only did he belong to the family of the King of Han, but he also met the King of Han in his downfall. This personal friendship coupled with the depth of the friendship entwined with family ties was unparalleled by anyone.
If one day Li Po ascends to the top of the world and wants to be awarded kingships, Yuen Long will undoubtedly be at the front. Therefore, being better informed in the Han Palace can only be said to be a side effect and not a big deal.
Ashina Qingyun went to the house to pay respects and was beaten outside. Soon someone spread the news, and there were countless people who wanted to show their favor to him.
Before Yuen Long could get excited, Zhang Jin, the commander of the Han Dynasty's personal guards, sent someone to inform him, saying that it was just a misunderstanding and that the eldest lady had already arrived, and he did not blame Ashina Qingyun and the others.
Yuen Long felt a little more at ease. What the people said before was too scary, and he was already thinking about going to Li Po to apologize...
When Ashina Qingyun arrived, Yuen Long had already moved to the living room and was waiting for someone to come. He gave it a good beating to make it memorable for his subordinates.
But someone came to report that Ashina Qingyun and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Yun Dingxing, came to see him... Now Yuen Long was a little annoyed. It was too disturbing. You can seduce someone like Yun Dingxing.
Hooking up?
He did not recruit people immediately, nor did he mean to turn people away.
Speaking of which, Yuen Long's temperament is on the gentle side. This is not only because he has an extremely stern father, but also because he and his wife Li Po take very good care of them, so their treatment of people is different from that of a typical person.
The Kansai nobles distanced themselves.
To put it in a bad word, he was a bit clingy and not decisive enough. He knew that Yun Dingxing was not someone he could get along with, but he felt that it was not appropriate to refuse him harshly when a minister from the Ministry of Industry came to pay him a visit.
After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Please come over, Mr. Wei."
The Mr. Wei he mentioned was no one else, but Wei Zheng, who was dragged to Jin by Zhang Shigui. Xu Shiji recommended him to Yuen Long, and he was now serving in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Yuen Long saw that he was knowledgeable and talented, so he asked him to be his teacher. In fact, he meant to be a counselor by his side. At first, Yuen Long suffered from the disadvantage of not having smart people around him to give ideas, so he finally found someone with a clear mind to come to him.
.
In other words, after Wei Zheng came to Jinyang, he quickly became a disciple of Yuan Long and followed the path of Xu Shiji. The route was very clear. As for whether he was considered to be reused? There is no doubt about it.
First of all, the word "sir" is different from what it was later. Nowadays, it does not have such a broad meaning. In addition to the literati who opened schools and taught apprentices, they mostly come from the staff around the powerful. And once you call it "sir", there must be teachers and students.
friendship.
As for being able to become a teacher in Yuen Long, it goes without saying much about his status. No one will look down upon this newcomer.
Secondly, Wei Zheng served as an officer in the Ministry of Household Affairs and organized household registration for the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he had real power.
His identity is more complicated, he is a mid-level official who has not yet risen to power. A newcomer who has just arrived can get such an appointment. In addition to Yuen Long's contribution, Li Po's vague intention of favoring him is also one of the reasons.
In other words, Yuen Long's vision is pretty good. Without Xu Shiji and Pei Xu, he has recruited some people around him, and each of them is not a simple person.
Wei Zheng was living a good life these days. The duties of the Household Department did not consume him too much energy. Li Po had been improving the household registration system since the beginning of the army. By the time the Household Department was established, it had already shown results.
, so officials do not need to work too hard.
Moreover, because the responsibilities of the Household Department were too heavy and the yamen under the Household Registration Department had become the least important yamen in the Household Registration Department, it was almost suspected that someone like Wei Zheng, who had been an official for many years, would be overqualified and underutilized.
Therefore, General Wei Zheng was raised well. His face was glowing red, and he was very satisfied with his current life. He was led from the back to the living room. When he came up, he saluted Yuen Long, "Xuan Cheng has met the doctor."
Yuen Long had already stood up with a smile and held his arm, "How many times have I told you, sir, please don't do this. Come on, come on, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up first. Sir, have you eaten yet? I'll let them prepare some dishes. Let's
Talk while drinking?”
This student was too enthusiastic, which made Wei Zheng feel embarrassed every time. Of course, this kind of scene happened often, and Wei Zheng was able to deal with it calmly.
After being a little pretentious, I agreed.
Eating and drinking with Yuen Long is not a chore. This student is a bit behind in knowledge, but his conversation is quite interesting, and he has great respect for him. Compared with the days when he served in Li Jiancheng's East Palace, it is not so comfortable.
Seeing Wei Zheng sit still, Yuen Lang was also very proud. After working with Li Po for so many years, he had learned nothing else but to win over people, but he always had something unique.
He is not as sharp-minded as Li Po, but he can really be honest, tolerant and kind to those who can use him, and Li Po is willing to be inferior.
Of course, he and Li Po are incomparable. The people who can come to him have naturally been screened, and he only needs to feel free to use them. If Li Po had been cared for like this, he would not be able to reach the position of King of Han now.
Location.
Who can clearly weigh the gains and losses involved?
First, Wei Zheng drank a few sips of tea and took a few breaths. Yuen Lang then smiled and asked: "Yun Dingxing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is waiting outside. He wants to see me. I don't know what the purpose of your visit is. I invite you to come here. I want you to come."
Look, don't let the students be fooled."
Wei Zheng was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't feel that Yuen Long spoke too directly. He had been in contact with him a lot. He had already understood that this man's talent was worrying, but he had one good thing, that is, he never hid his words when talking to people close to him.
Tuck in and say whatever you want. You will feel very relaxed and at ease being an official next to this person.
After pondering for a moment, Wei Zheng said: "Shilang Yun is alone now, and now that he is here... If the official's expectations are correct, he just wants to become a disciple of the doctor."
Wei Zheng did not beat around the bush and replied with a more direct sentence. You must be clear that this is a very rare behavior in official circles, but neither of them felt it was inappropriate. It can be seen that after several months of getting along, the two of them have developed a tacit understanding.
.
Yuen Long laughed, "You can't take it seriously..."
Obedient and familiar, Wei Zheng advised: "Shilang Yun is favored by the king, so you might as well make some friends with him. This person... Hehe, he has mixed reputations, but the king has made great efforts to appoint him as the minister of the Ministry of Industry. This shows the king's intentions..."
"Furthermore, he who makes use of his strengths and avoids his weaknesses is the greatest virtuous person. This is the courtesy of former virtuous people, and the doctor should keep it in mind."
Yuan Lang looked serious, stood up and tied his hands, "The students have been taught. Come, please quickly invite Minister Yun to come in and talk."
In just a few words, Yuen Long's attitude changed drastically. Wei Zheng stroked his beard and smiled, looking very pleased. In fact, he knew that the student did not understand what he said and just followed it.
In his opinion, Yun Dingxing was in quite a sorry state, and had almost become a street rat. No one wanted to associate with him. It was rare for an aristocratic official to reach such a state as Yun Dingxing.
All I can say is that this guy's words and deeds have aroused public outrage.
But having said that, the King of Han chose him. Even though Wei Zheng had just arrived and was not so familiar with Jinyang's officialdom, he could see a fact clearly from another perspective.
That is, Yun Dingxing has already "established a firm" foothold. With the King of Han to rely on him, what's the use of what others say and further ostracism?
If Wei Zheng further investigates Yun Dingxing's past, he will be even more sure that Yun Dingxing will be a "very good" minister. This is because Emperor Wen reused Zheng Yi, Liu Fang, Pang Huang and others, and Yang Guang reused Pei Ji, Yu Shiji
, Mai Tiezhang and others actually share the same truth.
These people don't all have a good reputation, but they also have their own uniqueness. Just because they can't get the support of everyone, they will stick to their master and don't dare to leave.
They are obviously the opposite of Gao Xi, He Ruobi, Yu Qingze and others, but they are also an indispensable part of the imperial power.
Yuen Long could not understand such a profound truth, but Wei Zheng could see it clearly, which is a good indication of his talent. It was precisely because he could see it clearly that he admired the wisdom of the King of Han.
Regardless of high or low, it seems that everyone can find a position under the king of Han. In contrast, Tang Gong Li Yuan, who was praised by everyone, now seems to Wei Zheng to have a false reputation.
No matter how good or bad you are, you should first look at your family background. Hmm, then what’s the point of employing people?
In fact, what he wanted to tell Yuen Long was that being in the same place with Yun Tingxing was a mixed bag of good and bad. It would certainly be detrimental to his reputation, but it was in line with the wishes of the King of Han. For someone with Yuen Long's status, the benefits must outweigh the disadvantages.
But looking at Yuen Long's silly and cheerful look, Wei Zheng stopped thinking. No matter how clever his work was, in this man's hands, it would probably be mediocre. If His Highness the King of Han...
Wei Zheng thought about it for a while and couldn't help but sigh secretly. He was old, so why did he want to do so much? The young man who was determined to become a general and a prime minister had long since disappeared, leaving only a sadness buried in his heart, and he kept telling it.
All the sincere people are gone...
Now, he just wants to live the rest of his life in peace.
He saw the "famous" Yun Dingxing coming in, and stood up to salute him. The slight difference was that next to Yun Dingxing was Ashina Qingyun, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face.
But that was none of his business. He didn't have much scruples about talking to Yuen Long. When there were more outsiders, he instinctively acted cautiously and refused to get into trouble.
After listening to a few words, he understood that Ashina Qingyun was beaten in the house, but it was no wonder that the women in the house were unreasonable. It was purely out of misunderstanding. He could only say that this guy was too unlucky.
Yun Dingxing's good words confirmed Wei Zheng's imagination. Well, this person should be like this. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who dislike him.
After receiving Wei Zheng's "advice", Yuen Long smiled brightly. Not only did he let Ashina Qingyun go in an understatement, but he also had a pleasant chat with Yun Dingxing and ordered people to serve wine and food to entertain the guests.
Someone reported this to Li Bi. Li Bi hummed twice and didn't say much. As the child grew up, there seemed to be more cliques and friends. Do you want to discipline him severely?
