On the street, among the people coming and going...
"Brother Ma, now you are in the position of Director of Taichang, and you are also working in the Tang Dynasty Bookstore. You have interacted with several great scholars. I not only admire you, but also yearn for it!" A young man with an ordinary face, He said to Ma Zhou, who carried a big gourd around his waist, had broad shoulders and didn't look official at all.
Ma Zhou shook his head and replied humbly.
"Oh, no matter what. Brother, I have no choice but to be blessed by a noble person. After getting an official position, I can do some small things for the people, otherwise I would still be feeding horses and washing mud! What's the point!" The ordinary-looking young man answered hurriedly. .
"Well, now that the Tang Dynasty is about to rise, we need talents like Brother Ma. I believe that in less than three, five or nine years, Brother Ma will definitely be in the court, wearing a scarlet robe!" These words are flattering! Excellent.
"Hahahaha, thank you for your good words from Brother Li!" Ma Zhou couldn't help but smile and clasped his fists modestly. After all, who doesn't like to hear a good word?
Besides, Ma Zhou had only been living under someone else's roof for only three to five months, but he had become acquainted with great Confucian scholars, and the literature and Taoism of the Tang Dynasty flourished. How could he not be lucky?
Afterwards, the two of them walked and laughed. As they walked, Ma Zhou's expression suddenly paused, and then he became happy.
At this time, the man seemed to know how to read people's faces.
"What's wrong, Brother Ma?"
"Brother Li, I have to go see someone. Please wait a moment!" Then, he saw Ma Zhou striding out and heading directly towards the person not far away~
"Hey Brother Ma~" Before the young man could call out, he saw Ma Zhou suddenly turn into a 'licking dog' look and ran out directly.
The young man couldn't help but frown and cursed in his heart. Brother Ma has always been a proud man. Who is worthy of Brother Ma?
Alas, Brother Ma also deteriorated a bit after becoming an official. Over there.
"Ma Zhou pays homage to Mr. Tang's family!" Tang Sufan was watching the excitement and sighing at the graceful charm of this Tang Dynasty beauty.
A voice came from beside me. Tang Sufan's expression changed and he looked back with difficulty. Ma Zhou?
Therefore, Tang Sufan also greeted him very politely.
"So it's Prince Bin. Why, you're also out to play?" Ma Zhou is now the manager of his own Datang Bookstore. The sales of Datang Daily's publications are done in an orderly manner, and he takes care of everything. He is a very qualified
"Beat workers." Ma Zhou replied very respectfully.
"Yes, today is the Lantern Festival. I happened to go out with my friends to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chang'an. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Tang here~" Only after becoming the manager of Datang Bookstore did Ma Zhou know that Datang Bookstore would be the future What an important change it will bring to the world's literary education.
The novel and mysterious art of papermaking that is currently hidden can make everyone in the world have books to read, and the art of printing can make the world's knowledge more profound.
"Approachable"! What a great achievement? But Mr. Tang kept silent and had a calm mind. It would be an honor for Ma Zhou to work under such an employer!
In addition, Tang Sufan effortlessly invited several great scholars from the court to take charge of Datang Bookstore.
What a blessing it was that he had the opportunity to work with several great scholars of the time. Ma Zhou knew that Tang Sufan had an extremely thick thigh.
No matter in terms of character or talent, Mr. Tang has nothing to say, and Ma Zhou admires him greatly. Although Ma Zhou was a proud man, he also knew that Mr. Tang was not only kind to him, but also that if he wanted to be a proficient person in the officialdom in the future, or even go further, Mr. Tang's guidance would be indispensable.
Therefore, Ma Zhou is naturally fine. Oh, proud? Can it be eaten as a meal? Therefore, Ma Zhou is called a well-behaved person.
Tang Sufan nodded. The Lantern Festival was very lively, and even he had to come out early to see the beauty... It was nothing unusual to see the excitement.
At this moment, Tang Sufan saw another person suddenly come out from the side. The man had a plain face and was wearing a simple gray scholar's shirt, with a glint in his eyes.
I saw the young man directly hand over his hand, and the interest he had just turned into a look of great excitement, and his eyes were shining.
It was a direct and respectful salute.
"Xiaosheng Li Yifu, greetings
Mr. "Little Poet Fairy"! "Aha? Could it be that he is a fan? Tang Sufan raised his eyebrows and subconsciously said humbly: "Haha, what a little poetry fairy, brother, you are so polite...wait a minute..." Suddenly, Tang Sufan lowered his brows by three points, His eyes suddenly narrowed, with an expression as if he had just woken up from a dream.
His gaze directly scanned the ordinary-looking young man in front of him with a sincere expression, and then he slowly spoke.
"You said...what's your name?" The ordinary-looking young man looked confused. Could it be that Xiao Shixian has heard of him?
Then, the young man bowed more sincerely and said: "Back to Mr. Tang, my nickname is Li Yifu!" Li Yifu?
! Is this thing Li Yifu? Tang Sufan was immediately startled. The person in front of him had a plain face and a thin figure. It was difficult to pick out the person among the crowd.
It was actually Li Yifu, the traitorous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who was famous in later generations? The atmosphere suddenly cooled down... Seeing that Tang Sufan didn't reply for a long time, Ma Zhou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Mr. Tang didn't like Brother Li?
Doesn't make sense?
"Young Master, this is my good friend. Yifu is a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. He is also a man who has great ambitions and hopes to become an official and serve the people..." Ma Zhou's kind words of help brought Tang Sufan's thoughts back.
He smiled calmly and said: "Oh~ It's Brother Li, polite~" Although Tang Sufan really didn't know much about the specific history, he did know it.
This Li Yifu was the most treacherous prime minister during the Tang Gaozong period. He flattered himself in front of the emperor and messed up the law wantonly when he was outside. All the officials were afraid of him and no one dared to speak out against him.
But before that, I heard that he was also a good official and a person who cared about the people. I just don’t know why, it’s like I participated in
Like the "Transformation Plan", he became a big villain~ After that, Tang Sufan couldn't help but look at him curiously. This guy didn't dodge, he just stood there with a somewhat restrained smile.
That grinning face was just short of etching honesty and loyalty on his face. As expected, a person cannot be judged by his appearance. Who would have thought that such a plain-looking man, who looked like a simple scholar, would actually be the most treacherous Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
Tang Sufan couldn't help but glance at Ma Zhou again. Did he break into the prime minister's den? Li Yifu looked respectful and looked like a younger brother, and said excitedly.
"Xiaosheng was frightened. He didn't expect that Brother Ma actually knew Xiao Shixian. He was really honored! That day, when Xiao Shixian acted righteously on the street to stop the evil lady from the Cui tribe, Xiaosheng was lucky enough to be there. I admire you so much!
"Xiaosheng was also filled with righteous indignation about the evil lady of the Cui tribe. He also cheered for the little Shixian at that time. But there were so many people there that the little Shixian might not have seen me~" Tang Sufan couldn't help but frown in surprise. pick.
No wonder the first shout that suddenly popped out that day sounded a bit familiar compared to now. It turned out to be Li Yifu who was igniting the atmosphere for him in the crowd.
"Haha, Brother Li is really a man of ancient ways, and he is also a chivalrous man!"
"Don't you dare to take it seriously? The words of a fairy are serious, but a young student should not be like this~" Li Yifu suddenly showed a look of fear on his face. As for whether it was true or false, even Tang Sufan couldn't tell for a while.
