At Chang He's residence, Ma Zhou was drenched in sweat.

"Uncle, have you ever seen such a scene?"

Chang He shook his head, "Don't ask me, I haven't seen it either."

Ma Zhou was a little puzzled: "On weekdays, I see those officials with their eyes above the top, even if they are only one level higher, they have to show their identities, but His Majesty and Third Highness don't seem to care about the difference in identities at all."

"Strange."

Chang He said helplessly: "I know what your Majesty is like, but I don't see much of your Majesty the Third Highness."

"But you have to remember that you must work hard if you follow the Third Highness. Last time, if the Third Highness didn't ask me to come back and have a look, saying that someone in the family can write something that His Majesty is satisfied with, I really didn't expect it to be you."

Ma Yiyi was stunned, the Third Highness seemed to know everything, His Majesty said that the Third Highness didn't see the theory, but he knew what was written in it.

His Majesty clearly opened his mouth to criticize the Third Highness, but he seemed a little cautious.

It is clear that the relationship between His Majesty and the Third Highness is that of a monarch and his subjects, but Ma Zhou feels that the Third Highness is more like an emperor, while the current His Majesty is more like a student.

There is something tricky in this palace.

Chang He wiped his sweat, stretched his head and saw that no one was following outside, finally closed the door, and let out a big breath, "Ma Zhou, this is your chance, you can't waste it."

Ma Zhou sighed, feeling as if he was surrounded by something.

"Uncle, is there really no problem?"

"There must be no problem!"

"Tomorrow you will go to the Third Highness early. The Third Highness is easy to talk to. He doesn't talk much, but he does things extremely ruthlessly."

Ma Zhouyi was stunned: "How do you say that?"

Chang He picked up a glass of water from the side and poured it into his mouth, "I heard from your Majesty that it was His Majesty's intention to start with the five surnames and Qiwang earlier."

"You know, the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs are the hard bones in His Majesty's eyes. Think about it, how many years have they existed, and how many years has Your Majesty only had?"

Ma Zhou's eyes lit up, "I like such a person, only such a majesty has courage."

"From Bozhou to Chang'an, I don't know how many people starved to death along the way. When they looked up one by one, eager to live, I wondered, do they know their future?"

Ma Zhou is a person who cares about people's livelihood, and he will not make promises lightly.

"I didn't want to be an official before, because I knew that the officials in Bozhou would not make it easy for me."

"Later, I was full of enthusiasm and tried to change, but found that they had long been colluding and basically would not give me any chance."

"I can only resign and wander all the way to the north. I have seen too many people's livelihood sufferings, and I have seen heroes wandering around the world."

"Since then, I have understood that this world is ultimately the world of those people, not the world of the common people."

Ma Zhou was quite emotional: "But according to what you said, His Majesty's policies in recent months have been very paranoid. It seems that he is targeting five surnames and seven surnames."

Chang He didn't know how to answer. He was just a servant of the city gate, and there were some things that he should not think about, and he never thought about them.

"Your Majesty uses tactics to find people, why don't you find Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and not those officials in the court? Do you know?"

Ma Zhou asked in a deep voice.

Chang He asks three questions and doesn't know.

"Because Your Majesty wants a sword! A sword that can kill the luck of the rich."

Ma Zhou looked up at the blue sky outside the window: "I have no background, no ties, and no scruples. If His Majesty wants to do something inconvenient, he will let me do it."

"A person like me has nothing to worry about, but a sword that cannot be solved."

Chang He fell into deep thought, that's what His Majesty meant.

Chang He was a little puzzled: "Then what do you think His Majesty will ask you to do?"

Ma Zhou pondered for a moment, then said, "Imperial examination."

For a while, Chang He finally understood one thing, that is why the Third Highness said that he had an expert in his family.

Ma Zhou is young, but he can understand the government affairs, understand His Majesty's meaning, and know where Datang came from.

Such people are indeed rare.

Even someone like Chang He can see the power of Ma Zhou.

"Ma Zhou, where did you study before?"

Ma Zhou smiled faintly: "When I was studying, my family was poor. After my parents died, I studied while begging. I suffered a lot."

"There were a lot of people who helped me at that time. I remember an old man who came to give me a cake every day."

"It's very cold, and the cakes are cold. The lady next door gave me a bowl of porridge. I mixed the cakes with the porridge, put them outside, frozen into ice cubes, and cut them into pieces."

Ma Zhou laughed at himself, "I remember I still had to look at the porridge placed in the ice and snow, for fear that the kittens and puppies would eat it."

"I am satisfied now, uncle, you are my only relative, what should I do?"

Chang He thought of the Third Highness Li Ke, and his Majesty Li Shimin, and then there seemed to be a flash of swords and swords in his eyes, "Ma Zhou, I was just a small person in the past, and even the Changlin Army and other miscellaneous troops looked down on me at that time. .”

"At that time, the servant of the city gate was an unrecognized position. Go to court? Are you kidding me!"

Chang He felt uncomfortable for a while, especially when he recalled his past self, he fell into deep thought.

"But you know, why did I enter the court as the servant of the city gate?"

Ma Zhou was stunned, did he mean to talk about that?
Chang He smiled, as if he had seen through everything at this moment, "I know what you're thinking, but that's not what happened."

"The reason why I can enter the court is because of my loyalty to His Majesty today."

"Now, I am in charge of Zuo Wuwei. If you become the sword in His Majesty's hands, don't take me into consideration."

"Your Majesty will not let you and I have two swords together. What Your Majesty is going to do is good for the people. Come on."

Ma Zhou was stunned, and then sat on the chair blankly, looking at the inkstone on the table that had begun to emit the fragrance of ink.

Perhaps, this is my destiny, and I still have to do something for the people.

During the bitter cold, Ma Zhou did not forget his true heart, and he still does not forget it now.

The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and everything seems to be alive.

In the court, Li Shimin announced the news that a young man named Ma Zhou would become a companion and work beside Li Ke.

This is so in name, but in fact it is throwing Ma Zhou to Li Ke. It is not time for Li Shimin to use Ma Zhou, and he needs to be patient for a while.

As for Li Ke, looking at Ma Zhou kneeling on the ground, he fell into deep thought, what is this guy used for?

At this moment, Changsun Wuji rushed in with strides: "Your Highness, Your Highness, do you have any new recipes?"
