Chapter 399
"Ma Zhou? Which week?" Yue Shan asked in surprise.

"Loyalty is the Zhou." Ma Zhou replied respectfully.

"Ma Zhou, I see. Why are you looking for me?" Yue Shan was basically sure that this person should be the Ma Zhou he thought of.But at this time, he is not what he used to be, and he will not become very excited when he sees historical celebrities like he did back then.

"Students want to apply for a job as a teacher in the academy. If they fail, I hope they can be admitted to the academy for a living." Ma Zhou replied confidently.

"Okay, you come with me." After speaking, Yue Shan walked towards the office first, and those who are familiar with him can find that his steps are a little wandering at this time.

Sui and Tang historical celebrities, if Pei Ju is the person Yue Shan admires the most, then Ma Zhou is his favorite.

In his previous life, Yue Shan liked to compare three people, Pei Ju, Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou.

Pei Ju is the same outside and inside, his heart is round, and his behavior is also round.Wei Zheng is also the same outside and inside, inside and outside are also square.Ma Zhou's appearance is different from the inside, the inside is square and the outside is round.

Throughout Pei Ju's life, he has ideals and ambitions, but his behavior is too smooth, so smooth that he loses his persistence.

Yang Guang was wiser in the early days, and he was a good minister. After Yang Guang gave up on himself and became fatuous, he turned around and became an accomplice.

Wei Zheng's life can be described in one word, wringing.There is a gully in his heart, he sticks to his beliefs and does not change his aspirations, and his behavior is also very square.

There are too many stories between him and Li Shimin, and you can read a lot of history books a little bit.

Ma Zhou has the advantages of both. He has the squareness of Wei Zheng and the smoothness of Pei Ju.

He is an orphan, the standard orphanage protagonist mode start.Because of the lack of elder restraint, he was unrestrained when he was young. To put it bluntly, he lacked education and became a bastard. Although he is talented, he is not respected by the village.

Later, when he was humiliated, he wanted to prove to those who ridiculed him that I, Ma Zhou, can also stand out.So I went to the capital, and was really entrusted with important tasks by the emperor.

Although he has a bohemian personality, he is very grateful.Li Shimin treated him as a national scholar, and he repaid Li Shimin as a national scholar.

When encountering the emperor's fault, he will point it out. If the emperor doesn't listen, he will find other ways to continue to persuade him.And it won't be like Pei Ju, if you don't listen to your advice, I will become a traitorous emperor and treacherous minister with you.

The same is to persuade him to pay more attention to methods and methods, and he will not be unable to step down like Wei Zheng who directly opposes the emperor.

He did this not only because it was easier for the emperor to accept the gentle way of persuasion, but he really believed in his heart that keeping his monarch from stepping down was not something a courtier should do.

Generally, important ministers will write a deathbed memorial to the emperor before they die. The general idea is to introduce their own life, talk about their ideals and ambitions, talk about unfinished business, and finally persuade the emperor to be diligent in government and love the people.

But Ma Zhou was different. Before he died, he burned all the drafts he had written before.He also said that others seek fame after death by exposing the monarch's shortcomings, but I can't do this, and I won't put the monarch on fire.

If it is said that Pei Ju's loss is round, and Wei Zheng's loss is square, then Ma Zhou is a combination of hardness and softness.

Some people want to say, since Yue Shan praises Ma Zhou so much, why does he still admire Pei Ju the most?

Because Pei Ju devoted his whole life to foreign wars, even when he accompanied Yang Guang when he was a treacherous minister, he never forgot to attack foreigners.Without his management, maybe after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, it would not be the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but another five random China.

Although Ma Zhou was excellent, it was a pity that he lived too short a time and died just after glowing and glowing. In terms of merit, he was far behind Pei Ju.

So Yue Shan admired Pei Ju's achievements and liked Ma Zhou's behavior.That's why Yue Shan was moved and happy by Ma Zhou's appearance. He trained him well and sent him to Li Shimin, another helper.

As for whether Ma Zhou would turn his head against him or use him, Yue Shan didn't think so, as long as he didn't rebel, Ma Zhou's character would not take the initiative to attack him.

Even if they have different political views, they will not directly become enemies, but choose to seek peaceful solutions.

Without him, I know how to be grateful.

Yue Shan treated him well, imparted knowledge to him, and even recommended him to Li Shimin. With this kindness, it is almost impossible for Ma Zhou to become an enemy.

Besides, if you were afraid of wolves and tigers, you might as well not do anything, just dig a hole and bury yourself completely.

Yue Shan recalled Ma Zhou's life in his heart, counting the time, if history had not changed beyond recognition because of his appearance, then he should have just been humiliated and went to Beijing to look for opportunities at this time.

In this way, it will be more convenient for him to win over, is it a timely help?

The only one I have to be sorry for is Chang He. In the original history, Ma Zhou went to join him and let him show a lot of limelight in front of Li Shimin.Now this opportunity belongs to Yue Shan.

When he came to the office, Yue Shan said, "Let me introduce myself first."

"A certain Ma Zhou, from Chiping, Qinghe..." Ma Zhou was not polite, and introduced his life in a few words.

He did not shy away from being accused by the governor of Bozhou for not teaching well as a teaching assistant in Bozhou, and he also admitted that he was at fault.Later, during the study tour, I was humiliated by others and came to Beijing in anger, but I didn't mention it, only saying that it was for the study tour.

Yue Shan nodded secretly, being able to face up to his faults without mentioning the grievances he suffered, his heart and tolerance surpassed that of ordinary people.

"Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference, so I won't mention the past. But it's not easy to be a teacher in the academy. How did you deal with it?"

"Someone is good at The Book of Songs, Shangshu, and Spring and Autumn Annals." Ma Zhou said proudly.

"Oh? The Five Classics are extensive and profound, and it's rare to be able to do good one in a poor life. You just said that you are good at the third one just after your coronation year. Don't you call yourself an outstanding talent in the world?" Yue Shan sneered.

"You'll know if you're talented or not," Ma Zhou said confidently.

"Haha... Well, no matter whether you are really good at the Three Classics or not, this confidence is very rare. As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry. If you are good at other abilities, I can test you. But since you said that you Shan Sanjing, then leave the task of assessment to professional people." Yue Shan laughed and said:

"I'm going to pay a visit to the Four Elders of Maoling later, so you can go with me."

"Here." Ma Zhou cupped his hands.

So Yue Shan took him to the teacher's dormitory to meet the four elders of Maoling.

The four elders are old and have special identities, Yue Shan allocated them a separate courtyard with servants to serve them.

When he got to the gate, Yue Shan didn't go in directly, but let the servant guarding the gate go in to make an announcement, while he waited outside the gate.

While waiting, he kept observing Ma Zhou, and found that the other old god didn't look flustered at all, obviously full of confidence in his knowledge.

Soon the servant came back and asked Yue Shan to go in, and the four elders of Maoling greeted him outside the door. After the two parties greeted each other, Yue Shan introduced Ma Zhou to them.
