The poor boy who was humiliated by the county order was favored by the emperor as a minister, and the gentleman took revenge, and it was not too late for ten years
Li Shimin is a famous emperor in ancient history, and he, like other Ming Jun, is also a model of seeking talents, such as Wei Zheng around Li Shimin, in fact, now when we all talk about Wei Zheng, we will feel that Wei Zheng is much better, the model among famous courtiers, etc., and he has also combined with Li Shimin to become a model of kings and subjects, in fact, compared to Wei Zheng's rhetoric, there is another person around Li Shimin.
Compared with Wei Zheng's fame throughout the ages, Ma Zhou's reputation is relatively smaller. Although he is not famous, it does not mean that he has no ability, in fact, his ability is much stronger than Weizheng. Li Shimin is also a thirsty lord in history, which is very obvious in the matter of Ma Zhou!
In the history books, there are several early records of Ma Zhou, saying that Ma Zhou's parents died since childhood, and he was poor and poor and had no one to rely on, but he loved to learn very much. As for how Ma Zhou grew up, who brought him up, and who helped him, there is no record in the history books. It may be that the neighbors looked at such an orphan and pitifully raised him with "a hundred meals"!
At the age of Ma Zhou's weak crown, he had his first job and became an honorable teacher. In ancient times, teaching was actually a very attractive profession, and the status of readers in ancient times was very high. However, Ma Zhou thinks that his stomach is extremely highly learned, and it is really too much to use to teach, so he is not very attentive to teaching! It is not good to work at work, which of course will cause displeasure to the superior, so the boss is also reprimanding Ma Zhou for three days and two ends, and when he really can't stand it, Ma Zhou is accused of going to the county grandfather. Ma Zhou originally thought that the county grandmaster would give himself a job in the yamen, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded and humiliated by the county grandmaster! After being humiliated, Ma Zhou chose to go to Chang'an.
Since it is also a level of food and clothing, one person eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, where is the excess coiled to go to Chang'an? I had to beg while hurrying and walking towards Chang'an! After arriving in Chang'an, Ma Zhou met his first Bole, the Zhonglang general Chang He, and became his guest. Living in Chang He's home, he can also be regarded as a relationship with the imperial court.
During the Zhenguan period, once Li Shimin issued an edict that the civil and military officials gave suggestions to the imperial court, and everyone had to mention them. The other civil servants didn't take anything seriously, didn't they just make suggestions? Very simple. However, it was embarrassing for those military generals, especially those who could not read a single one like Chang He. When he saw that he was about to burn his eyebrows, Chang He met Ma Zhou in the courtyard, and when he said something, Ma Zhou immediately took over, such a good opportunity, how could he miss it!
When the opinions were handed over to Li Shimin, Li Shimin was full of joy, but it was really not easy for a military general to have a unique opinion on the rule of officials, and he immediately summoned Chang He. In front of Li Shimin, Chang He bluntly said that he did not know a single character, which was written by a guest named Ma Zhou in his own home. This aroused Li Shimin's interest, and he directly asked people to go to Chang He's house to invite Ma Zhou. Li Shimin sent four groups of people forward before and after, frightening Chang He, who was also waiting, as the emperor Li Shimin was so indifferent to a person, but it was a rare situation! Ma Zhou arrived, and after Li Shimin talked to him, he was directly arranged in Menxia Province, the power center of the Tang Dynasty, which can be said to be a step up to the heavens!
From the sixth year of Zhenguan to the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Ma Zhou went from Zhimen Province to overseeing the imperial history, Zhongshu Sheren, Counselor Dafu, Zhongshu Shilang, zhongshu ling, which was Ma Zhou's career promotion. From another point of view, Ma Zhou's promotion speed is unimaginable, and even Chang He, who recommended him, was shocked. Cen Wen once commented on Ma Zhou like this: Ma Zhou talks about things a lot, cites the scriptures, deliberates on ancient and modern times, and the articles he writes cannot be added or subtracted. This is Ma Zhou's skill, in addition, Ma Zhou has repeatedly given advice to Li Shimin.
Ma Zhou became the prime minister, and also became Li Shimin's humerus minister, then the revenge of being humiliated will also go with the flow, this is the standard "gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late" Ah, of course, Ma Zhou and the county order status is different, it is not humiliating him, just his official, smashed his rice bowl, let him become a commoner!
