Chapter 97: The Man Who Feels Terrible
In Ling Huxuan's view, Zhang Wei's fame is already very great, he can sing, speak, and fight, such a talent is simply an all-rounder in the world, but as the father of the prime minister of the dynasty, Ling Huxuan has never even heard of it, which is too unexpected.
So Ling Hu said: "Father, Zhang Wei is my staff, and the reason why he was able to establish meritorious services in Youzhou was arranged by his children. โ
๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ
And such a thing?
Ling Fox was very surprised when he heard this, looked at Ling Fox and said, "So the victory in Youzhou still has something to do with you?" โ
"Of course there is, at least their lieutenant will go out from my Linghu Mansion!" Ling Hu said to his father with some pride.
"Is the victory in Youzhou related to the Fox Mansion? Let's hear it. Ling Huxuan's words suddenly attracted Ling Fox's attention.
Linghu then said: "Zhang Wei was originally a buddy of my Linghu grocery store, and when the child went to the grocery store to inspect, he found that this young man was smart, very studious, and resourceful, so he took him under my staff as a staff member. Later, Zhang Zhongwu came to Chang'an to report to the imperial court about the crusade against Shanxi, and I recommended Zhang Wei to the army by the way and asked him to establish military merits. In the future, it will also be used by my Linghu Mansion. โ
When Ling Huzhu reported to his father, he also had something to choose, saying what was beneficial to him, and not saying what was unfavorable to him, as for Zhang Wei's specialties of singing, dancing, lying, drinking, bragging, and talking about the mountains, he omitted them all.
After all, as the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, dealing with such a person is somewhat out of identity.
What's more important is that if you tell the truth, Zhang Wei's image will definitely be greatly discounted in his father's mind, Zhang Wei's image will be discounted, and his painstaking business will also be discounted.
For Zhang Wei, and even more for himself, Ling Hulu had already filtered and screened when he told his father about this.
Selective execution, selective forgetting. As a person in the officialdom, this is very important, although it has been rectified, but it has not been rectified in place for thousands of years.
After listening to Ling Huxuan's words, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Ling Huxuan, nodded slightly, "Wellโโ, for my father to know, prepare well, the emperor decided to accept Youzhou's dedication, and reward the meritorious ministers." โ
"The child understands." Ling Huxuan replied.
Ling Fox is not stupid, he has heard several meanings from the mouth of the eldest son Ling Fox Xuan, the first meaning is that this time Ling Fox Xuan arranged for someone to go to the Youzhou Army, and did not discuss with him, it seems that this child already has his own little Jiujiu in his heart; Could it be that he wants to leave himself behind and find a way back;
The second meaning is how Zhang Wei, a small grocery store boy, can be favored by the prime minister's eldest son and recommended to make contributions on the battlefield? There's definitely something wrong with that. At least it shows that Zhang Wei is not simple, not simple!
The third point made the fox think a lot of things from Youzhou, is this a simple dedication or has other plans? Does his son Ling Hulu have anything to do with this?
After all, Ling Fox is the prime minister, and from the surface of things, he can see farther and more thoroughly than others.
In the late Tang Dynasty, the prime minister was as diligent as a marquee, but Ling Fox was able to work in this position for more than ten years, can he do it without any ability?
So Ling Hu Xuan did not show his attitude in front of his son, since you Ling Hu Jian thinks that Youzhou Xianjie has the credit of your people, then you should prepare well and welcome Xianjie.
Back in his room, Ling Fox called the big housekeeper Ling Fox Zhan.
"Master, are you looking for me?" Seeing Ling Fox, the big butler arched his hand.
"Hmm-" Ling Fox nodded heavily, and then asked, "Do you know a young man named Zhang Wei?" โ
I have already said just now that Ling Fox is not stupid, he has already heard multiple layers of meaning from his son Ling Fox Juan's words, and even heard that Zhang Wei is definitely not a simple person, and now he needs to confirm it.
Zhang Wei?
The old man actually asked about Zhang Wei?
Ling Hu Zhan "chuckled" in his heart, although he didn't know why the master suddenly asked about this person, but as the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he knew very well what to ask, what not to ask, what questions to answer honestly, and what questions could not be answered truthfully.
So the big housekeeper Ling Hu Zhan replied without thinking: "Back to the master, I know this person named Zhang Wei at a young age." โ
This made the fox even more surprised, it seems that this young man named Zhang Wei is not simple! Unconsciously, he has already had a deep relationship with the Prime Minister, not only his own children speak for this person, but even ordinary people know this person.
And as the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he hasn't even met once, and I'm a little scared when I think about it.
Ling Huxuan stared at Ling Huzhan and asked, "Do you know this person named Zhang Wei?" โ
"The little one who โโ, not only knows this person, but also knows his origins." Ling Hu Zhan replied with some concern.
"Ohโโโ, tell me about him." Ling Fox sat down, ready to hear all about this man.
Since the old man wanted to hear about this person, Ling Huzhan told Ling Huzhan all the things he saw, heard, and even made up about Zhang Wei to Ling Huxuan.
After hearing this, Ling Hu Xuan raised his head slightly and looked at the roof, then lowered his eyes and looked at Ling Hu Zhan and said, "So it seems that this person really has some ability?" โ
"That's absolute, Zhang Wei is a very good person, not only can handle the relationship with everyone, so that people up and down have a very good relationship with him, and now it seems that he is still very good at fighting." The chief butler said with a fluttering eyebrow, "The master has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." โ
"You say."
The chief butler continued: "Since Zhang Wei entered the Youzhou army, the eldest son has been very concerned about this matter. I have always let me know more about the things in Youzhou, and I know more about Zhang Wei's situation, and I inquired later, only to know that Zhang Wei made a lot of efforts in this Youzhou victory, and he was also in the Yinshan War, which can be said to be indispensable. โ
In fact, since Zhang Wei left Chang'an, Ling Hulu has never relaxed his attention to him, after all, he is the person he sent out, and he can be regarded as a staff member in his own house, can he pay more attention to him?
Therefore, Zhang Wei's every move in Youzhou did not escape Ling Hulu's eyes, and now this kid finally lived up to expectations, and led the troops with Shi Xiong to exterminate the Shanxi army and achieve a great victory in Youzhou.
After listening to the words of the chief butler, Ling Fox waved his hand and motioned for him to go out.
After the big housekeeper went out, Ling Fox couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked around the room, "What kind of person is Zhang Wei?" Not only does he have a good relationship with Wen Tingyun's declining literati, but he also has dealings with King Yun in the court, and he is also involved with Zhang Zhongwu at the border pass, and the relationship with our Linghu Mansion is even more unusual. What kind of person is this? โ
The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty made the fox unable to sleep anymore, and he felt terrible for having such a person in his house.
But thinking about it in a blink of an eye, wouldn't it be beautiful if someone like Zhang Wei could use it for himself. After all, this person is from his own mansion, and his roots are still in Linghu Mansion.
can sing and dance, with such skills, he can envelop King Yun and others, and seek a way out for himself and his son in the future; He will also lead his troops to fight, and when the time is ripe, he will let him go outside and do whatever he wants, and he will be able to join forces with himself inside and outside, which is very effective in striking at the opponents of the DPRK and China. Moreover, this person also has a very good relationship with Wen Tingyun and a group of sour and rotten literati, so that those literati can create an atmosphere of public opinion for their own governance.
But can such a capable person be used for himself?
Ling Fox couldn't make up his mind, and after thinking about it, he decided to take some time to talk to this young man named Zhang Wei.
