Chapter 180: Forgetting the New Year
Although Liu Guangxian was stubborn, he was still very upright, and waved his hand at Guo Zhiyuan: "Okay, the official admits defeat, let's say, what do you want the official to agree to you?!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan and Liu Guang made a bet that was originally a joke, so he waved his hand and smiled: "The bet between the lower officials and the adults is just a joke, how dare you make demands on the adults?" Adults don't have to take it personally......"
Liu Guangxian was serious, and his eyes widened: "This official has always been true to his word, how can he not believe his word?!" If you have any requests, as long as they do not violate the laws of the land, this official will definitely agree to you! ……”
According to the high authority of the imperial history, if others hear such words, they must be ecstatic, but Guo Zhiyuan does not plan to use such a joke to bet on Liu Guangxian to ask for benefits, plus through this period of time and Liu Guangxian, Guo Zhiyuan also feels that Liu Guangxian is an upright and good official, but he is a little too old-fashioned and stubborn, so he rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, this is what you said, then I will make a request, I don't want to call you an adult every time I see you in the future, just call you old and stubborn!" ……”
When Liu Guangxian heard this, he blew his beard and glared angrily: "Stinky boy, you are so bold!" ”
Guo Zhiyuan had already figured out Liu Guangxian's temper, and without fear, he pointed his finger at him and smiled: "Look, what I say, what I say doesn't count!" ……”
Liu Guangxian was choked half to death by Guo Zhiyuan, but he couldn't speak and didn't count, so he said angrily: "Okay! Old stubborn is old stubborn, but you can't shout in front of people, only when it's just the two of us! ……”
"A word is a certainty, old stubborn!" Guo Zhiyuan clapped his hands proudly and laughed.
"Stinky boy!" Liu Guangxian was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
…………
Seeing the huge role of masks, Liu Guangxian of course wanted to promote it throughout Fujian, and he wrote a letter to Xu Xueju, the governor of Fujian, giving a detailed introduction to Gutian's experience in preventing and controlling the spread of the plague and the miraculous effect of masks, and also asked Guo Zhiyuan for dozens of masks.
Xu Xueju was having a headache about the plague epidemic in Fujian at this time, as the supreme administrator of Fujian, such a large-scale plague occurred in the jurisdiction, and he, the governor of Fujian, naturally had a great responsibility, he was hesitating to report the matter to the imperial court, if it was reported to the imperial court, the imperial court would definitely reprimand him, the supreme administrator of Fujian, but if he did not report to the imperial court, in case the plague continued to spread, and too many people died, he would not be able to cover it, and the result would be even worse.
After reading the letter that Liu Guangxian wrote to him, his first feeling was that he didn't believe it at all, so he threw the letter and the dozen masks aside, sneered and said: "This Liu Guangxian is really simple-minded, he must have been deceived by the officials below, such a fantasy is actually believed, and he solemnly wrote a letter from the official, just a few pieces of rags can stop the spread of the plague?" It's ridiculous! ……”
At this time, Xu Xueju's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, took the letter written by Liu Guangxian and looked at it, and said to himself: "Gutian County Ling Guo Zhiyuan? This is Guo Zhengyu's son? The one who was impeached by Huang Yihua before? Didn't the court let Liu Guang investigate him first, why did Liu Guang help him talk first? ……”
Xu Xueju also belongs to the Donglin Party, but at this time, the Donglin Party has not yet been fully formed, and the Donglin Academy of Gu Xiancheng and others has not yet been established, and it is basically a plate of loose sand, so Xu Xueju and Guo Zhengyu actually do not have much intersection, and naturally they will not pay attention to Guo Zhiyuan, a small Jiupin county order, until Huang Yihua instigated the joint impeachment of Guo Zhiyuan by the magistrates of several neighboring counties in Gutian, and the Wanli Emperor was also alarmed, Xu Xueju began to pay attention to this matter, but Xu Xueju felt that since the imperial court sent Liu Guang to Gutian to investigate Guo Zhiyuan, That Guo Zhiyuan is probably more than lucky, not to mention that Xu Xueju and Guo Zhengyu have no friendship, even if they have friendship, it is impossible to stand up and help Guo Zhiyuan speak at this time, but because of this incident, Xu Xueju had an impression of the name Guo Zhiyuan, and he suddenly remembered it, which also made his mind change in a new way.
Later generations of the evaluation of the Donglin Party is very controversial, some people think that the Donglin Party is a group of honest and honest, concerned about current affairs of progressive intellectuals, they put forward the integrity of the public, the revitalization of the rule of officials, the opening of the way, the elimination of the government and the opposition and other progressive slogans, later generations even primary school students will recite the Donglin Party leader Gu Xiancheng's patriotic sentence "the sound of the wind, the sound of rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear; family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and everything cares", and many righteous gentlemen such as Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou who would rather die in the face of power have also emerged.
But some people say that the Donglin Party is the culprit of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, their party is the same as the other, empty talk misleading the country, striking at all opponents who have different political views from them, using the name of satirizing the government and commenting on the officials, to shield the landlords, and fight for the profits of the rich businessmen, and even many Donglin Party members themselves are big landlords, and finally make the dynasty collapse, the government is out of control, which indirectly led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
It should be said that there is some truth in both of these statements, because the Donglin Party itself is just a bureaucracy. The governance group is composed of countless individuals, you can't simply define good and bad, which can also be seen from the performance of the Donglin Party in the process of the later Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, some of them chose to surrender, such as Qian Qianyi, and some chose to repay the country with death, such as Shi Kefa, so the evaluation of the Donglin Party and the Donglin Party should be dialectically divided into two.
Xu Xueju should be regarded as a typical Donglin Party person, his official reputation is not bad, and later generations evaluated him as "a good historical talent, and a scholar who is far away", but he is also a very serious politician. A person who governs interests, he was born in a scholarly family and a family of eunuchs, so he is familiar with the Ming system, and the first thing he considers in anything is politics. Governance interests.
At this time, Xu Xueju had just become the governor of Fujian, and the Zhejiang Party in Fujian was very large, so even if he was the highest administrator of Fujian, he often felt constrained everywhere and was powerless.
But Liu Guangxian's letter made him feel that the opportunity had come, no matter whether what Liu Guangxian said in the letter was true or not, since Liu Guangxian went to Gutian to investigate Guo Zhiyuan by holy order, and now praised Guo Zhiyuan in the letter, then Guo Zhiyuan must be fine, Guo Zhiyuan is fine, then Huang Yihua, who instigated the joint impeachment of several counties and magistrates in Gutian's neighboring counties, should have something to do, and Huang Yihua is an important backbone of the Zhejiang Party in Fujian, Xu Xueju naturally wants to make good use of this opportunity.
So Xu Xueju immediately changed his mind, called his subordinates, and ordered that all places where there was an epidemic in Fujian should promote Gutian's experience in preventing and controlling the spread of the plague, and required the people in the epidemic area to wear masks.
Unexpectedly, it was really effective, according to Gutian's experience in preventing and controlling the spread of the plague, the epidemic that had spread very fiercely was controlled, and at this time, Gutian made contributions again, Shen Lingyu developed a prescription that could cure the plague, Guo Zhiyuan did not hide his secrets, and gave the prescription again, Xu Xueju had no doubts this time, and immediately promoted the prescription, and the plague finally subsided!
Although the plague has subsided, the number of deaths caused by the plague is still quite a lot, the number of people who died because of the plague in Fujian has reached more than 20,000, and the number of deaths in the counties affected by the plague basically exceeds 1,000 people, only Gutian because of the timely detection and effective prevention and control, the number of people who died due to the plague infection is only 10, and six of them are refugees who fled to Gutian from other places.
This is an incredible miracle in this day and age! So when Gutian County reported this data, the officials of the Fuzhou Prefect's Yamen, who were in charge of statistics, were furious, saying that this Gutian County County Order was really bold, and the lie was not so false, but his scolding soon stopped abruptly, because there was a line of words written below this detail, and Liu Guangxian, the patrol of the imperial history, witnessed the whole process, and there was no falsehood! It is also stamped with Liu Guangxian's seal!
Liu Guangxian is finally leaving Gutian, Guo Zhiyuan is reluctant to say goodbye, through this period of time day and night, the two with a huge age gap have become year-old friends, the two often quarrel, but the friendship is getting deeper and deeper.
Guo Zhiyuan has traveled to this era and does not have a real same-sex friend, Xu Guangqi and they are all Guo Zhiyuan's subordinates, although the relationship is also very close, but there is no feeling that only friends can have when they talk to Liu Guangxian, so Guo Zhiyuan is really reluctant, his eyes are a little red, and he said with a choked voice: "Old stubborn, you have to take good care of your body, you are old, don't fight so ......hard."
If others see Guo Zhiyuan talking to Liu Guangxian like this, they are afraid that their eyeballs will fall out, you must know that Liu Guangxian is famous for his iron-faced ruthlessness, and the officials below will be frightened to their feet as long as they hear his name, but Liu Guangxian is now slowly getting used to this title, and patted Guo Zhiyuan's shoulder with emotion and said: "Stinky boy, go back, don't give it away......"
Speaking of this, his face suddenly turned solemn, and he said to Guo Zhiyuan: "Guo Zhiyuan, you are an upright official, resourceful, the old man admires you very much, and hopes that you can become a pillar of the country in the future, but the old man also wants to give you a piece of advice, this time you were falsely accused, the saint is there, the old man will defend for you, but this officialdom is sinister, the old man can help you once, but he may not be able to help you every time, so you must not be cautious, this is the way of the official, but you must not gamble!" One wrong step, one wrong step, Haoran righteousness, is the king, I hope you are good at yourself! ……”
(PS: Recently, some readers have commented that the language of this book is too modern, unlike historical novels, first of all, I must admit that my historical skills are indeed not very deep, this is also the first time I have transformed from writing modern to writing history, many language habits can not be changed at once, the creation of this book is also a process of learning history for me, so I accept criticism, but I also feel that it is necessary to make a few explanations, reading books and writing details are of course very important, but sometimes too entangled in some details, you will lose a lot of fun, Since you can see the present in this book, it shows that the plot is attractive to you, sometimes you ask professional historical researchers to write historical novels, you may not necessarily be able to read it, the time travel text itself does not have to be loyal to the original history everywhere, I am tired of writing everywhere, you are even more tired of reading, and the protagonist himself is a modern time through the past, so it makes sense to retain some modern language habits, and the fun of crossing history is that he makes the original boring history come alive. Thank you again for your valuable comments, and if I have the energy in the future, I will go back and correct some mistakes and omissions, and now you can enjoy the fun of traveling through history with me! )
