Chapter 531

When Lin Mo sent Li Yifu back, Lin Xuan asked, "Brother Clan, how did you know him?"

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback, and told the story of how he met Li Yifu.

After the new year, he returned to Chang'an from Luoyang, and met Li Yifu at a party.

Li Yifu is extremely intelligent and talented in writing. After meeting several times and being able to make friends, the relationship between the two became closer.

The two of them had a drink yesterday, and Li Yifu complained that only the sons of honored nobles, or those who were related, could enter the Imperial Academy to study.

Even if the imperial court reformed the imperial examination system, in the future it would be impossible to become an official without the imperial examination, but it was difficult for poor families to enter the highest university in the Tang Dynasty, and it was still difficult for poor families to get ahead.

Lin Mo said with deep empathy that if he hadn't been Lin Xuan's elder brother and had been recommended by Lin Xuan, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Imperial College.

Li Yifu was very pleasantly surprised when he heard that Lin Xuan was Li Yifu's elder brother, and begged Lin Mo for help, and he was willing to become Lin Xuan's guest.

Lin Mo was not surprised at all. It is very difficult for the children of poor families to get ahead. Many choose to become disciples of honorable families, attaching themselves to each other in exchange for their recommendation.

Li Yifu is talented, and Lin Mo felt that Lin Xuan also needed such a guest, so he brought him here.

After hearing this, Lin Xuan frowned slightly. As expected, Li Yifu contacted Lin Mo on purpose to get to know himself through Lin Mo.

Seeing that Lin Xuan's expression was a little abnormal, Lin Mo asked, "Zi Chu, what's wrong?"

"Brother Clan, try not to associate with this person in the future, this person is dishonest." Lin Xuan said.

Lin Mo was stunned, and said, "Did Zichu worry too much? It's not easy for a poor family to get ahead. It's a common thing to choose to cling to the lord and the family. It's normal for Yifu to have such thoughts."

"Brother, do you think Li Yifu can pass the imperial examination with his talent?" Lin Xuan asked.

Lin Mo pondered for a while, and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem to pass the imperial examination with Yifu's talent."

There are three sources of supervisory students in Guozijian, namely official students, people's students, and Xungui's recommendation.

Xungui's recommendation Needless to say, it was Lin Xuan who recommended Lin Mo when he entered the Imperial Academy.

Official students refer to that as long as the officials of the Tang Dynasty and their sons are suitable for enrolling, they can enter the Imperial College.

People's livelihood actually includes a wide range of people. A certain percentage of people from all over the country are sent to the Imperial College to study. Of course, going there is also very strict.

Or some very famous talents were rewarded by the imperial court to study in the Imperial Academy.

In addition, it is donating students, which means donating money and materials to go to school.

These can be regarded as people's livelihood.

Although the Guozijian has many honorable children and children from aristocratic families who are fooling around, there are also many people with real talents and real learning.

Based on Lin Mo's understanding of Li Yifu, the entire Guozijian is not much better than Li Yifu.

If people like Li Yifu can't pass the exam, then there are not many people in the world who can pass the exam.

Therefore, he felt that Li Yifu's chances of being admitted were very high.

"In this case, why does he still attach to me?" Lin Xuan asked.

Lin Mo was taken aback, that's right, why does Li Yifu still attach to Lin Xuan in this case?

In the past, if you didn't attach to the lord's family, it was difficult for the humble family to get ahead, so you had to attach.

The doorman sounds nice, but he is actually a house slave without a bond.

Now that there is an opportunity to stand out, a person with vigor and talent, who would be willing to be someone else's guest.

"Li Yifu's intention to attach to me is nothing more than wanting to use my power to get a better official position and be promoted faster. This person has worked hard and has a deep plan. I suspect that he and you are well arranged by him. .” Lin Xuan said.

Although Lin Mo didn't believe it, he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"I didn't expect Li Yifu to look upright, but he is actually a villain." Lin Mo said bitterly.

He regarded Li Yifu as a friend, but he didn't expect that Li Yifu was just using him.

Lin Xuan: ...

Who says villains have to look like bad guys?

In TV dramas, you can often see those villains use makeup and acting skills to make people know that they are not good people.

But in practice?

Those treacherous officials in history, if they all looked bad, they were not good people at first glance, how could they be reused?

Therefore, those who look hideous are not necessarily bad people.

A person with a kind face is not necessarily a good person.

"Brother Clan will have less contact with this person in the future." Lin Xuan said.

……

Li Yifu waited for three people in a row, not only did not hear from Lin Xuan, even Lin Mo did not come to him these days.

"what happened?"

Li Yifu's complexion changed. It took him so much effort and scheming to meet Lin Xuan through Lin Mo. How could he be reconciled if there was nothing to say.

"No, we can't wait like this."

Li Yifu came to the Guozijian, waited at the door for a while, and finally saw a student dressed in shabby clothes, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, can you please inform Lin Mo of the Taixue that Li Yifu is waiting for him outside, please?" See him when he comes out."

"Okay, just wait for a while."

"Please trouble brother."

Li Yifu waited at the gate of Guozijian for nearly an hour, but Lin Mo did not come out.

He already had a bad premonition in his heart.

If the scholar hadn't found Lin Mo, he would have come to inform him. It was obvious that Lin Mo didn't want to see him after not coming for so long.

"Now it seems that we can only take the next step."

Li Yifu glanced at the Imperial College unwillingly, then turned and left.

Although Lin Mo didn't know why he didn't want to see him, it was impossible for him to hang himself on a tree all the time.

Li Yifu wandered around all the way, and came to a mansion outside the palace.

Li Yifu looked up at the plaque engraved with the word "Business Department" hanging on the government office, and walked over.

The guard at the gate of the government office stopped Li Yifu and said: "The government office of the Ministry of Commerce is not allowed to enter without permission!"

"I'm at Li Yifu's mansion. I'm an old friend of Ma Shangshu. I want to ask to see Ma Shangshu. Please inform me." Li Yifu laughed.

The guard glanced at Li Yifu, and said disdainfully: "You are the only one who knows Ma Shangshu? Hurry up, don't make trouble here."

"Whether I know me or not, the official will not punish me if I report it, but if I am really an old friend of Ma Shangshu, if the official does not report and let Ma Shangshu know, I am afraid..." Li Yifu said with a smile.

"This…"

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said: "Okay, I'll go in and report now, if you dare to lie to us, you will die."

After finishing speaking, he gave another guard a look, signaling him to keep an eye on Li Yi's mansion, and then walked into the mansion.

About a cup of tea time, the guard who went to report ran out with a flattering smile on his face.

"Sir, Master Shangshu is here to invite you."

He didn't expect that the poorly dressed man in front of him actually knew Ma Zhou.

Once Li Yifu saw Ma Zhou, if he said a few words about them, they would be in big trouble.

"Please trouble me to lead the way." Li Yifu said with a smile.

He is not a big-hearted person, but he has no power, and now the guards are polite to him only because of Ma Zhou.

This also strengthened Li Yifu's determination to pursue rights.

"You're welcome, sir, this way please."

The guard led the way with a smile, took Li Yifu to the outside of Ma Zhou's office, and said, "Sir, Master Shang Shu said, you can just go in when you arrive."

"Excuse me, sir."

Li Yifu took a deep breath and walked in.

Hearing footsteps, Ma Zhou raised his head to see Li Yifu, with a smile on his face.

"Yifu, you are here, sit down quickly."
