The governor of Xuzhou, Niu Zhenghong, has a person who is most afraid of and one thing he fears most. The person he fears most is his father Niu Bula, and the thing he fears most is that he is too slow to be promoted! He is both a filial son and an official fan!

In ancient times, if a person is not filial to his parents, it is extremely difficult for him to gain a foothold in the officialdom. As long as the political enemy attacks him, he will use the reason for being unfilial. Every attack is accurate, and anyone will have to lie down. So generally speaking, officials are filial sons, or on the surface they are filial sons!

Niu Zhenghong is an official fan. His greatest hope in his life is to be able to enter the Secretariat and become a real prime minister. For this reason, he worked tirelessly and never relaxed.

Everything has two sides. Although it is not good to be confused about official positions, it is because he wants to be promoted, so he has to work hard. Now it is the Zhenguan period, and it is not easy to get promoted by flattery, but also by political achievements.

Niu Zhenghong is considered a good official. Under his governance, Xuzhou has no miscellaneous taxes and no difficulty in labor service. The people live a peaceful life!

It is easy to talk about in the officialdom, but what is worried about is family affairs. Niu Zhenghong was born in a very poor family, and he ranked sixth. All the five older brothers and sisters above died prematurely because they were too poor. His father Niu Bula worked hard to prevent his son from living such a hard life and even begged for him to study. It is really difficult for a father to be a father.

Niu Bula's father named him Bula because he hoped that his son would not live a hard life like a ox. But Niu Bula's fate did not change because of his name, but he hoped that his son could live a good life. Niu Zhenghong lived up to his father's expectations, which was really a success. He took the exam for a young man and passed the exam in one fell swoop, and he became a senior official in the governor.

Therefore, Niu Zhenghong is the most filial. After his life is getting better, the first thing he does is to take his father to enjoy his happiness. But after his life is getting better, Niu Bula's weight is increasing day by day because he no longer works hard, and his temper is getting worse and worse. He often scolds his son. When Niu Zhenghong made a mistake when he was a child, Niu Bula punished him to kneel down and recite "The Analects of Confucius". Now, although Niu Zhenghong is the governor, Niu Bula still punishes him like this when he dislikes him.

Today, Niu Zhenghong accidentally touched Niu Bula's anger. After being scolded, he came out to kneel down again. This situation has been seen by many servants and have long been used to it. When they hear that they are scolded inside, they prepare the mat and ruler outside.

Niu Zhenghong complained a few times and then started memorizing it.

At this moment, a green-robed official came in outside. Seeing Niu Zhenghong's ruler on his head and was reciting the Analects, he thought to himself: "The rules of the adults are really big. Those who have to kneel down every few days. But this also shows that Mr. Niu is good at teaching his children and has forced a governor. Alas, why didn't my father care about me like this? If I urge me diligently, I might be able to become governor!"

The green-robed official came to Niu Zhenghong and ran down, but found that because of his tall figure and Niu Zhenghong's body were short, the two of them knelt together, and he was half taller than the governor! This was great, how could the boss look up to him? He quickly lowered his waist and bent half shorter than Niu Zhenghong, and then he started talking.

The green-robed official said: "Sir, recently, due to floods in Songzhou and Bianzhou, the people fled to our Xuzhou. With more people, it will inevitably lead to an increase in grain prices. In this way, the people of Xuzhou will not have a good life. This is a matter of political achievements. If it rises too much and someone will remember it and report to Chang'an, the adults will be very unfavorable. So this matter must be handled as soon as possible to prevent problems before they happen!"

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

Suddenly, I heard a voice from the building: "Little bastard, get out if you have something to do, come back to memorize the letter after you finish your business!" The voice was old, and it was the father of the governor, Niu Bula!

Niu Zhenghong hurriedly said, "All follow the Grandpa's orders!" He took the ruler and stood up. He called Niu Bula the Grandpa. This was the dialect left in the Northern Dynasties. Calling his father the Grandpa was not the grandpa's meaning.

The green robe official stood up with him and thought to himself: "I called my son a little bastard, then wouldn't he become an old rabbit? I remember the last time I scolded him was obviously raised by a bitch!"

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

The green robe official hurriedly said: "Yesterday, Qiu Wenpu, the mountain master of Xiantong Academy, sent a famous post and said that he would come to pay homage to the adults today. He has arrived and is waiting in the side hall!"

Niu Zhenghong said, "I know this. You are so weird. Old Qiu Xiang is so noble and never comes to see me. How did you come to visit me today? Is it because I ask me for it?"

Don’t be afraid of no good things, just be afraid of no good people!

The green-robed official had no holiday with Qiu Wenpu, but he was quite unfair to the academic and political affairs of the state. He heard what the governor said, and immediately interfered: "Old Qiu and his disciples controlled the list of tributes in this state. Each subject must be sent directly to Chang'an, and they never consulted with the adults. This is a great disrespect. The subordinates are unfair to the adults. They are really too bullying!"

Niu Zhenghong said huh, thinking that it was indeed the reason, he said, "Then what will happen if Old Man Qiu comes today?"

The green robe official said: "The following officials speculate that there must be something wrong with the list. He did not rank any wealthy families, which caused dissatisfaction, and he could not solve it. So he came to ask the adults to give more places!"

Niu Zhenghong said angrily: "It's outrageous. The quota for tribute was set by the court. How could it be said that it would be increased? Who is he? I hate this person who only seeks fame and does not do practical things the most. He will not know anything except causing trouble!"

The green robe official smiled and said, "Who said no!"

Niu Zhenghong stopped and said, "Don't go to the side hall, let him see me in the study room. Also, just guard outside the door and listen to my official throwing a cup... Well, listen to my official coughing a phone number. When you come in, you say that there is something important in front of you, so that I can send him away!"

The green robe official hurriedly said, "Yes, the official must have made it a good job for the adults!" He smiled and walked quickly.

Niu Zhenghong turned around and went to the study room, took a book from the bookshelf, pretending to be reading, but after a while, Qiu Wenpu came!

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

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Niu Zhenghong standing up with a smile on his face, saying that he could not go out to greet him, and forgive him for his crimes. Qiu Wenpu was naturally polite, and the two of them sat down with the guest and host.

After taking a few sips of Xiangcha, he said three polite words. Qiu Wenpu brought the topic to the topic and said, "Sir, I have recently seen many fleeing people coming to Xuzhou. I am afraid that there will be a plague after the disaster. I happened to get a prescription, which is a good prescription. I am here to offer it to you today!" As he said that, he handed over the prescription of Huoxiang Zhengqi San.

Niu Zhenghong took the prescription and took a few glances. He was not good at medical skills and could not tell whether the prescription was good or bad, and he couldn't even figure out what disease it was to cure.

Qiu Wenpu said: "This prescription has cured several patients and is very useful. I think that if there is a plague in a few days, then using this prescription will definitely cure many people who have fled. This prescription is sold by an unknown disciple named Wang Ping'an. He was young and promising and wanted to serve the court. Unfortunately, there is no tribute list for the scientific examination next year..."

Niu Zhenghong thought to himself: "Here, I'm here, use a broken prescription as an introduction to talk about his dirty things!" He didn't want to hear it, and coughed a few times.

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

Niu Zhenghong looked unhappy and pretended to scold, "Can there be something urgent? Didn't you see this official talking to Master Qiu Laoshan?"

Qiu Wenpu thought to himself: "It's a coincidence that I came today!" He couldn't continue talking. If he wanted to stay away, it would inevitably be annoying. He had to get up and say goodbye, intending to find another time to come again and ask for a quota for Wang Ping'an. The green-robed official sent him out.

Niu Zhenghong looked at the prescription again, snorted, and said to himself: "It was Songzhou and Bianzhou that were affected by the disaster, not Xuzhou. Even if a large number of refugees poured in, what I had to do was to stabilize the food prices. Plague? Where did so many plagues come from! Even if there were plagues, countless doctors in the city could handle them well!"

He put the prescription onto the page of the book and sneered, "If I can use this prescription, I will write the word "Niu" upside down from now on!" He threw the book into the bookshelf and threw his sleeve out of the study.
