The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Wasn't he also of low status and hardship in those days?

How come, once a dragon is in the sky, he is reduced to dirt under his feet? After he has become successful, he looks down on those "former selves"?

With such a mind and such thoughts, how can we expect him to work for the welfare of the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future?

A person without virtue, stealing a high position, is really a disaster.

If Ma Zhou had done such a thing in his hometown, he would have said that he was young and hot-tempered and the past would have been over.

Now that he has gone through all the hardships and arrived in Chang'an City, and given him a chance, if he still has such a mind.

Then the future prime minister, Jingyang Palace doesn't need him.

"No, it's not." Ma Zhou quickly denied: "When I was in my hometown, I was indeed young and unworldly, but I never thought about it. I was born in a poor family, so how could I dare to think like that."

"I just think that people like Mr. Xiao should be in the court to better display his talents, and Dr. Lu, a student of the Imperial Academy, will enter the court in the future. He will also be the backbone of the Tang Dynasty, so he should be well trained..." Ma Zhou explained.

"Ma Zhou, people may be born with different statuses. The status of a servant is different from that of a master's son or daughter. But when it comes to reading, there is no distinction between the desire to learn and there will be no difference because of different status." Li Fu said, "The same book of Spring and Autumn Annals can be read by Zheng Xuan, Guan Yu, the emperor, and the common people. The content of this book will not change because of different statuses. Do you understand this?"

"If you don't understand, it means that no matter your knowledge, your character, or your morality, you still have something to learn. You still have a lot to learn. You will learn until you are old."

After that, Li Fu pretended to be profound and lowered the curtain of the car and stopped talking to Ma Zhou.

Alas, Li Shimin should really thank me and even give me a reward of 500 strings of cash and a plaque.

What I am training here is the future prime minister.

When Ma Zhou grows up to a certain extent and enters the court, he will be able to do more than before, and the road he will take will be wider than the original one.

The length of the road of life cannot be changed, so he doesn't believe that he can't widen it with a shovel.

As for suffering a little and experiencing some setbacks in the middle, it's nothing.

Ma Zhou looked at the lowered curtains of the car, with mixed feelings in his heart. Riding on the horseback, he began to think about what King Jingyang said to him.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what His Royal Highness King Jingyang said made sense...

I was narrow-minded.

His Royal Highness was right. I still have a lot to learn, not only in terms of knowledge, but also in character and being a person. I still lack these, and I must follow His Royal Highness to learn well.

In the past, I was too young and thought too simply about everything.

Now, I know that there are people beyond people and there are heavens beyond heaven.

His Highness is not as old as me, but I am not as mature and knowledgeable as His Highness...

I haven't even understood the simplest principle of teaching everyone.

It just so happens that this time, I can work with His Highness and often come into contact with erudite people like Dr. Lu and Mr. Xiao. It is a good opportunity for me to learn.

Li Fu in the carriage also exhaled deeply.

These days, if you don't have some knowledge, it's hard to pretend to be profound. You can only stop at a certain point.

Otherwise, if you start quoting scriptures, it will be so profound that people will think that His Highness, King Jingyang, is also a learned and talented person.

Now, he can only leave one sentence: You figure it out.

These three words give people endless imagination. How far you can think of it depends on you and your talent.

After returning to the Jingyang Palace, Li Fu asked Ma Zhou to stay in the yard by himself to adapt to the things in the palace. If there is anything he does not understand, he can ask the housekeeper Zhao.

He will go to the palace in the afternoon, so he will not take him with him.

With Ma Zhou's current condition, Li Fu dare not take the risk of introducing him to Li Shimin.

Don't delay the government affairs and cause any disaster.

Grind it.

A good knife will become sharp only after being constantly polished by the whetstone. As long as you master the degree, it will be fine.

It's not because there is a shortage of people in the house that he will be assigned to do a lot of things next year.

Li Fu thinks that he is not an unscrupulous boss.

It's not that you can't sleep, sleep less and do more things, what's wrong? This is all experience.

Isn't this the first day of work, and you can work half a day and rest half a day?

How great.

In the afternoon, Li Fu entered the palace.

The New Year's Day holiday is overNow the court officials have returned to the days of attending court and discussing matters every day, and Li Shimin is also busy every day in Liangyi Hall.

Even if the officials have a day off, he, as an emperor, has no holiday. He still has to deal with government affairs and review memorials during the day and night.

Even Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, although they have a day off, once they encounter something, Li Shimin will still call them into the palace to discuss it.

After entering the palace, Li Fu went straight to Liangyi Hall. Anyway, Li Shimin is unlikely to be anywhere else at this time.

After all, he is a hardworking emperor. He doesn't need to go to the palace to meet him. He has to ask the eunuchs to pull him out of the harem. Is our second emperor Li that kind of person?

The eunuch walked outside the hall and bowed to Li Fu and said, "Your Highness, you can enter the hall."

Li Fu nodded, and then walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty." Li Fu saluted.

"Why, are you here to thank the emperor?" Li Shimin looked up, with a smile between his eyebrows, and looked at Li Fu.

"Yes." Li Fu continued to speak.

I didn't think about it when I came here.

I sent money to the palace after receiving the imperial edict yesterday morning, and I forgot about it.

I have to thank Li Shimin in person.

That's the power to establish a government, just give it as you say.

"You are worthy of your majesty. You have given me the power to establish a government. I am very grateful." Li Fu had a flattering smile on his face: "Or how can I say that our second brother is a natural beauty, wise and brave, broad-minded, brave, talented, and powerful, and has made great achievements and is feared by the world..."

Li Fu began to flatter him.

Li Shimin had a smile on his face, but his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he looked at Li Fu with a bit of amusement in his eyes.

This is really a way to praise people.

Interesting, really interesting.

Li Fu stopped and looked at Li Shimin with a grin.

"Praise? Why don't you continue? I think you're praising me well." Li Shimin smiled and said, "If you can speak, please speak more. I like to hear it."
