The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu stretched out his three fingers and shook them in front of Ma Zhou.

"For three months, you will observe whether this king and the entire Jingyang Palace are worthy of your service. Naturally, this king will also observe whether you are qualified for the position of the chief historian of the Jingyang Palace. After three months, if both parties are dissatisfied with each other, they can leave, or... leave on their own."

Li Fu smiled, but his words were somewhat unkind.

Ma Zhou is indeed a famous minister, but it does not mean that his current ability and attitude to do things are of high level.

Give him such an opportunity to experience, and see his attitude problem first.

Li Fu knew that people like Ma Zhou, who felt that they were talented and always felt that they must be ministers who govern the country, were somewhat arrogant.

It is a good thing to have such pride, but it is not okay to have such arrogance.

Even beautiful jade needs to be carved, not to mention that Ma Zhou has a criminal record.

Li Fu didn't know much about Ma Zhou's life before he became an official, so he asked Ma Zhou just now.

After Ma Zhou said this, Li Fu was even more determined to hone this future talent.

Originally, your family was poor, and you were given a job, but you didn't work hard and drank all day long.

Such a person...

It was a light punishment for his superior to scold him.

As a result, he turned his face and quit because of being scolded, and ran to the capital to look for opportunities...

If this is not an attitude problem, what is it?

Attitude problem, that is a very serious problem.

Since he has arrived at the Jingyang Palace, he should be used well and trained. If he is still so arrogant and can't help the mud, then this future important official will be just like that.

In the Central Plains, there is a lack of everything, but not people. Are you afraid that you can't find someone suitable to be the chief historian of the palace?

As the chief historian of the palace, there is no need for any extraordinary talents.

Li Fu himself is the boss. What kind of employees does the boss like?

One is obedient, the second is obedient and has real ability! The third is obedient and has real ability and can speak and do things.

"Ma Changshi, this is a rare opportunity. Whether you can grasp it and make people look at you with new eyes depends on you." Li Fu said with a smile.

Ma Zhou's face became serious when he heard this. He stood opposite Li Fu and said with a bow: "Ma Zhou will definitely do his best."

"Anyway, we all said the unpleasant words in advance. Now you tell me, what other requirements or ideas do you have? I will try my best to meet them." Li Fu said with a smile.

Ma Zhou thought about it. Since he entered the Jingyang Palace, everything has been very thoughtful, and he has no ideas.

So, he shook his head.

"Okay, now that it's settled for the time being, you should pack up a little and go with me to see someone later." Li Fu said with a smile.

After that, he got up and left the room.

Lao Zhao followed Li Fu. After leaving the yard, he carefully asked Li Fu.

"Does my lord have any plans to go out today?" asked Lao Zhao.

"Well, I just remembered it. Now that I'm done with the New Year's affairs, I have to go see Dr. Lu." Li Fu said.

He also promised Lu Deming to help Xiao Yu speak well in front of His Majesty.

Think of a way to get Xiao Yu back.

Although I know that Xiao Yu will definitely be reinstated, why not take advantage of this favor?

If the King of Jingyang goes out and doesn't pick up something to bring back, it will be a loss.

"As for the village in Jingyang County, I have to go there immediately after the Lantern Festival." Li Fu said.

In Li Fu's opinion, the New Year is over after the Lantern Festival.

Once the New Year is over, the village has to work quickly.

"Yes, then I will prepare the carriage and horses now." Lao Zhao responded.

Li Fu nodded.

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Fu brought Ma Zhou to the gate of the palace, where the carriage had already stopped.

"Let's go." Li Fu said.

Li Fu rode in the carriage, and Ma Zhou rode on the side of the carriage.

"Your Highness, where are we going?" Ma Zhou asked curiously.

"Visiting Dr. Lu Deming's house." Li Fu said, "I have something to ask Dr. Lu."

Ma Zhou followed the carriage silently, and Wu Liangye and other palace guards rode with him.

He was very curious, every time the prince went out, he had to bring several guards?

After arriving at the Lu family mansion, after the gatekeeper reported, it was still Lu Dunxin who came out to greet him in person.

"Lu Youshi, I haven't submitted a visiting card. Please forgive me for visiting without permission." Li Fu said with a bow.

"Your Highness, it is a great honor for my humble home to come to the Lu family. You and my father are close friends.Don't be so polite, it's embarrassing for me." Lu Dunxin bowed in return.

Although Lu Dunxin is older than Li Fu, Li Fu and Lu Deming are good friends, and the two can be regarded as friends regardless of age. If we seriously talk about seniority, no matter how much older Lu Dunxin is than Li Fu, Li Fu has to be lower than him in terms of seniority.

"How is Dr. Lu these days?" Li Fu asked.

"I was busy for two days during the New Year's Day. Recently, there is not much to do, so I have been free again. I have been studying in the yard or in the study. "Lu Dunxin said.

Since Li Fu came last time, Lu Dunxin and Lu Deming also sat down and had a serious chat. Lu Deming simply mentioned his thoughts to his son. After a serious chat, Lu Dunxin no longer misunderstood his father as before.

Although he still didn't understand it very well, he chose to support his father.

What King Jingyang said was right. His father was already so old, couldn't he do what he wanted?

In Li Fu's opinion, in the Tang Dynasty, if you really live to the age of eighty or ninety, even if you shit in the street, someone will praise you for your elegance.

"Who is this?" Lu Dunxin looked at Ma Zhou beside Li Fu.

"This is the chief historian of my palace, Ma Zhou." Li Fu said.

Lu Dunxin then realized that His Royal Highness King Jingyang had already opened a palace.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. "Lu Dunxin hurriedly congratulated.

Li Fu smiled and waved his hand.

The group walked into the house. This time when he came to the Lu family again, Li Fu was familiar with the route. He went directly to the main hall in Lu Deming's yard and waited for the old man to come out of the greenhouse.

When the old man came out, he was wearing a short coarse cloth shirt. Although the texture of the clothes was not very good, the old man had a youthful face with white hair and neat clothes, and looked energetic.

"You started work after the New Year's Day." Li Fu said jokingly with a smile.

"At my age, I have nothing to do. I can spend half of my time reading and half of my time working. It's just right." Lu Deming smiled and said, "Come on, serve some good tea."
