Li Yuan, the word Shude.
When Li Yuan came out of the palace, he had already envisioned this situation, so there was nothing wrong with calling himself Li De.
Eunuch Lin was at the stern of the boat. The corner of his mouth moved slightly.
He turned his head to look at Ma Zhou.
The moment he came up, he smelled the stables 'stench. Although the Confucian robe covered Ma Zhou's scent, it could not escape his nose.
A horsekeeper was extremely lucky to be talking to Li Yuan here.
Could it be that he still hoped to become an official?
Eunuch Lin really couldn't figure out why Li Yuan had come today.
Li Yuan and Ma Zhou sat at the bow of the boat.
He also looked at the middle-aged scholar with interest and said,"Ma Zhou, you are from Qinghe, and now you are lucky enough to visit the lake in Chang 'an.”
"I wonder where he is working?”
When Ma Zhou heard this, the wine pot in his hand paused. His expression was a little unnatural as he said,"Brother Reed must be joking."
"I was fortunate enough to be favored by the provincial governor and became a teaching assistant in Bo Prefecture.”
"But now that I've left, I have nothing to do in Chang 'an. I can only play in the upper reaches of the Golden Maple River.”
Li Yuan looked at Ma Zhou and smiled.
This Ma Zhou actually didn't lie for the sake of his so-called integrity.
Instead, he spoke bluntly.
Li Yuan had a good impression of him because of this. He said,"Ma Zhou, for you to be favored by the governor of Bo Province, you must have some ability.”
"I don't know why you didn't take revenge on me when you came to Chang 'an.”
"His Majesty still values talents, right?”
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly. He looked at the Confucian robe that had been washed until it had turned white, then took a big gulp of wine and said,"Brother Li, you are a disciple of a great clan, so of course you can say it so easily.”
"To recommend talents and send invitations to the Saint, this should be a common occurrence in your Li family.”
" But for us commoners, all of this is beyond our reach. I've come to Chang 'an to meet countless scholars and officials.”
"But I don't have any silver in my hands, so I can't even get past the gatehouse.”
Ma Zhou came from a poor family. He was young and romantic, and was familiar with poetry and books.
Full of ambition, but now he was bleeding.
Li Yuan looked at him and felt a little pitiful."Ma Zhou, I have some feelings about what you said, but do you want to change this?”
"You want to become an official yourself."
"Or are you going to lead all the Humble Class disciples to open this door?”
"If you just want to enter the official career on your own, I will write a recommendation letter for you and guarantee that you will be able to reach the heavens. At that time, if you have the real talent, you can enter the court as an official.”
Ma Zhou sat there, his entire body trembling.
He looked at Li Yuan in disbelief.
His mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning as he said,"Bringing all the Humble Class disciples? A poor family like mine?"
"Yes, is it to change one person or to change the entire Great Tang?”
"Brother Li, I don't want your recommendation letter. I want to complete the second thing you said.”
Li Yuan nodded slightly and patted his shoulder.""The first thing is easy to do. After you get off the ship, you can change the predicament in front of you and become a person above others.”
"But the second task is extremely difficult.”
"I can only sponsor one school for you, and I don't care about money. You can choose any of the Humble Class students, how about it?”
Gulp.
Ma Zhou gulped.
His hands trembled slightly.
Two choices.
Ordinary people knew which one to choose.
However, Ma Zhou finished the wine in his hand in one gulp. His eyes were red as he said,"Brother Li, if you have such a great cause, Ma Zhou will do his best to help you even if he has to sacrifice his life!”
Li Yuan looked at Ma Zhou and said,""Alright, I'll do it. From today onwards, I will open a school and you will be in charge of it.”
"I hope that you can seriously teach those Humble Class disciples.”
"Let them really be able to become officials in the court one day.”
"In the morning, you are a farmer, and in the evening, you ascend the emperor's hall.”
Ma Zhou muttered Li Yuan's words.
In the morning, he served as a farmer, and in the evening, he went to the emperor's hall.
This was the wish of the Humble Class scholars. When he thought about how he could do things for the Humble Class disciples of the world and even leave his name in history, he felt his blood boil.
Ma Zhou immediately knelt down on one knee.
He looked at Li Yuan and said," Ma Zhou greets the benefactor for his guidance. Ma Zhou will do his best to be the benefactor for the rest of his life. He will do his best until he dies!"”
Li Yuan reached out and helped him up.
He originally wanted to give Ma Zhou a letter of recommendation and ask him to meet Li Shiming.
However, when he heard Ma Zhou's words, he remembered something.
The imperial examinations of the Great Tang were still in its infancy. If it was reformed, it would be relatively simpler. Moreover, there should also be a way for the children of the Humble Class to enter the ranks of officials.
Otherwise, if the Five Families and Seven Wangs monopolized everything, it would be a blessing or a curse for the Great Tang.
On the boat.
Eunuch Lin watched as the black armored guard left with Ma Zhou. He also made a cup of tea for Li Shi Min and said,""Your Majesty, Ma Zhou is just a stable keeper.”
"Why did you treat him with such courtesy and even let him open a school for you?”
"If you were to do it yourself, I'm afraid that all the scholars in the world would risk their lives to come here. Why would you need Ma Zhou to help you?”
