Chapter 63: The Family Rules of the Assassin's Family

Niu Zhenghong, the assassin of Xuzhou, has one of the most feared people in his life, and one of the most feared things. The person he is most afraid of is his father Niu Bula, and the thing he is most afraid of is that he is too slow to be promoted! He is not only a filial son, but also an official fan!

In ancient times, if a person was not filial to his parents, it would be extremely difficult for him to gain a foothold in the officialdom, and as long as his political enemies attacked him, he would use unfilial piety as an excuse. So generally speaking, people who are officials are filial sons, or on the surface, filial sons!

Niu Zhenghong is an official fan, and his biggest hope in his life is to enter Zhongshu Province and become a real prime minister, for which he has worked tirelessly and never relaxed.

There are two sides to everything, although the official fan is not good, but because he wants to be promoted, he has to work hard, now is the Zhenguan period, if you want to be promoted by slipping whiskers, it is not easy, and you have to rely on political achievements.

Niu Zhenghong can be regarded as a good official, under his governance, Xuzhou has no pain of miscellaneous taxes, and there is no difficulty in conscription, and the people live a peaceful life!

It's easy to talk about in officialdom, but it's the family that worries. Niu Zhenghong was born in extreme poverty, he ranked sixth, and the above five brothers and sisters all died prematurely because they were too poor, and his father Niu Bula worked hard to prevent his son from living this kind of hard life again, and even begged for food for him to study, it is really not easy to be a father.

Niu Bula's father named him Bula, because he hoped that his son would no longer live a miserable life of pulling a plow like an ox all day long. But Niu Bula's fate has not changed because of his name, but he hopes that his son can live a good life. Niu Zhenghong lived up to his father's expectations, he was really angry, he took the exam as a teenager, and he became a high-ranking official in the history of assassination.

Therefore, Niu Zhenghong is the most filial, and after the days are good, the first thing is to take his father to enjoy the blessings. But after the days were better, Niu Bula no longer worked hard, his weight increased day by day, and his temper became more and more irritable, and he often reprimanded his son. As soon as Niu Zhenghong made a mistake when he was a child, Niu Bula punished him to kneel down and recite the "Analects".

Today, Niu Zhenghong accidentally touched Niu Bula's anger, and after being scolded violently, he came out to kneel down again, and the servants have seen a lot of this situation, and they have long been accustomed to it, and when they heard the scolding inside, they prepared the mat and ring ruler outside.

Niu Zhenghong complained a few words, and then continued to memorize.

At this moment, a green-robed official came in outside, saw Niu Zhenghong with a ring ruler on his head, and was reciting the words, thinking: "The rules of the adult's family are really big, and those who have two heads have to kneel once in three days." However, this also shows that the old lady Niu taught her son well, and she trained a thorn history. Alas, why didn't my father take care of me like this in the first place, if he had urged me diligently, maybe I could have become a thorn! ”

The green-robed official came to Niu Zhenghong and ran down, but found that because he was tall and Niu Zhenghong was short, the two knelt together, and he was half a head taller than Lord Thorn Shi! This is okay, how can he let his boss look up to him, he hurriedly lowered his waist, and bent half a section shorter than Niu Zhenghong, and then began to talk about things.

The green-robed official said: "My lord, due to the recent floods in the direction of Songzhou and Bianzhou, the people have fled to my Xuzhou. A lot of people, it will inevitably lead to a rise in food prices, in this way, my Xuzhou people are not having a good time, this is a matter of political achievements, in case it rises too much, someone will remember a stroke, report to Chang'an, the face of the adult will be very ugly, so this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, take precautions! ”

Niu Zhenghong nodded and said, "Not bad...... " He nodded, the ring ruler on his head fell, and with a snap, he quickly picked it up and put it back on his head.

Suddenly, I heard a voice from the building: "Little rabbit, if you have something, get out, and come back to endorse when you are done!" "The voice is old, it is the father of Lord Thorn Shi, Niu Bula!

Niu Zhenghong hurriedly said: "Listen to Grandpa's orders!" He took off his ruler and stood up. He called Niu Bula Grandpa, which was a dialect left over from the Northern Dynasties, and calling his father Grandpa was not what Grandpa meant.

The green-robed official stood up with him, thinking: "Lao Tzu scolded his son for being a little rabbit, so wouldn't he himself become an old rabbit?" I remember that the last time I scolded, it was obviously raised by a bitch! ”

Niu Zhenghong went down the steps, walked quickly to the front hall, and asked, "What else is there besides this?" ”

The green-robed official hurriedly said: "Yesterday, Qiu Wenpu, the mountain master of Xiantong Academy, sent a famous post, saying that he was going to meet your lord today, he has already arrived, and he is waiting in the side hall!" ”

Niu Zhenghong sighed: "This official knows." You say it's really weird, Qiu Lao'er has always been self-defeating, and he never came to see the official, why did he come to the door today, didn't he ask me? ”

I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm afraid of no good people!

This green-robed official and Qiu Wenpu have nothing to do, but he and the scholars and politicians of Benzhou are quite disrespectful, and when he heard Lord Assassin Shi say this, he immediately said: "Qiu Lao'er and his disciples control the list of tributes in this state, and each subject must be sent directly to Chang'an, and they never consult with adults, which is a big disrespect, and the lower officials are unfair for adults, which is really too deceitful!" ”

Niu Zhenghong snorted, thinking that this was indeed the reason, he said: "Then you said that Qiu Lao'er came today, what will happen?" ”

The green-robed official said: "The following officials speculate that there must be a problem with the list, and he didn't rank any of the children of wealthy families, which caused dissatisfaction, and he couldn't solve it, so I came to ask the adults to give a few more places!" ”

Niu Zhenghong said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, the tribute quota is set by the imperial court, how can it be said that it will be increased, when he is himself?" This official hates this kind of person who only seeks fame and does not do practical things, and he will not do anything else except cause trouble! ”

The green-robed official laughed and said, "Who says it's not!" ”

Niu Zhenghong stopped and said, "Don't go to the side hall, let him see me in the study." Also, you just stand outside the door and listen to the official throwing the cup...... Well, listen to the official's cough, you come in when you come in and say that there is something important ahead, so that the official can send him away! ”

The green-robed official hurriedly said: "Yes, the lower officials have done it properly for adults!" With a smile on his face, he walked quickly.

Niu Zhenghong turned around and went to the study, took a book from the shelf, pretended to read, and when he didn't wait long, Qiu Wenpu came!

Qiu Wenpu took the first volume of "Xiantong Night Talk" to make a plate, and as soon as the matter was settled, he came to visit Niu Zhenghong and asked for the apprentice quota for Wang Ping'an.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Niu Zhenghong standing up, with a smile on his face, and repeatedly said that he could not go out to greet him, and forgive his sins. Qiu Wenpu was naturally polite, and the two sat down separately.

After taking two sips of fragrant tea and saying three words politely, Qiu Wenpu introduced the conversation to the main topic, and said: "My lord, the old man has seen a lot of fleeing people in Xuzhou recently, and he is deeply afraid that there will be a plague epidemic after the disaster. As he spoke, he handed over the prescription for Huoxiang's positive qi dissipation.

Niu Zhenghong took the prescription and looked at it a few times, he didn't know how to use medicine, he couldn't see the quality of this prescription, and he couldn't even figure out what kind of disease it was treating.

Qiu Wenpu said: "This recipe has cured several patients, and it is very good." The old man thought that if there was an epidemic of plague in the next few days, then this method would definitely cure many people who had fled. This recipe is an anonymous disciple of the old man, named Wang Ping'an, he is young and promising, and he wants to serve the imperial court, but unfortunately there is no ...... on the tribute list for next year's scientific examination."

Niu Zhenghong thought to himself: "Here, take a broken prescription as an introduction, and talk about his dirty things!" He didn't want to hear it, so he coughed loudly.

The green-robed official who had been guarding the door responded and said, "My lord, there is an urgent matter ahead, please deal with it quickly!" ”

Niu Zhenghong looked unhappy, and pretended to reprimand: "Can there be anything urgent, didn't you see that this official is talking to Old Mountain Master Qiu?" ”

Qiu Wenpu thought to himself: "It's a bad luck to come today! He couldn't say any more, and if he didn't leave any longer, he would inevitably be annoying, so he had to get up and say goodbye, intending to find another time to come again, and then ask for a place for Wang Ping'an, and the green-robed official sent him out.

Niu Zhenghong glanced at the prescription again, snorted, and said in his heart: "It was Songzhou and Bianzhou that were affected, and it was not my Xuzhou." Even if there is a large influx of refugees, all I have to do is stabilize food prices. Pestilence? Where are so many plagues! Even if there is a plague, there are countless doctors in the city, and they can handle it well! ”

He casually put the prescription into the page of the book and sneered: "If I can use this prescription, I will write it backwards from now on!" He threw the book into the bookshelf and walked out of the study.
