Although Liu Guangxian was stubborn, he was still very open-minded. He waved his hand to Guo Zhiyuan and said, "Okay, I have admitted defeat. Tell me, what do you want me to agree to your request?!"

Guo Zhiyuan and Liu Guang’s bet was a joke first, so they waved their hands and smiled: “The bet between the official and the adults is just a joke. How dare you make demands on the adults? You don’t have to take it to your heart…”

Liu Guangxian was serious and glared: "I have always been saying a word, how can I speak without trust?! What do you want to say, as long as it does not violate national laws, I will definitely agree to you!"

The inspector and the censorship have a high position and are powerful. If others hear this, they will be ecstatic. However, Guo Zhiyuan does not intend to use such a joke to ask Liu Guangxian for benefits. In addition, after getting along with Liu Guangxian during this period, Guo Zhiyuan also felt that Liu Guangxian was an upright and good official, but he was a little too old-fashioned and stubborn, so he turned 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, so I'll call you stubborn!"

When Liu Guangxian heard this, he blew his beard and stared at him and said furiously: "Boy, you are so brave!"

Guo Zhiyuan had already figured out Liu Guangxian's temper and pointed at him with his finger without fear and said, "Look, what I said, don't keep my word!"

Liu Guangxian was choked to death by Guo Zhiyuan, but he couldn't keep his word and said a little angry: "Okay! Old stubborn is old stubborn, but you can't scream in front of others, you can only scream when only we are there!..."

"A word is determined, I am stubborn!" Guo Zhiyuan clapped his hands and laughed proudly.

"Stupid brat!" Liu Guangxian was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

…………

Seeing the huge role of masks, Liu Guangxian of course had to promote them throughout Fujian. He wrote a letter to Fujian Governor Xu Xueju, giving a detailed introduction to Gutian's experience in preventing and controlling the spread of plague and the magical effects of masks. He also asked Guo Zhiyuan for dozens of masks, and asked his followers to take them to the Governor's Office with a quick horse.

Xu Xueju was having a headache about the epidemic in Fujian at this time. As the Supreme Chief Executive of Fujian, such a large-scale plague occurred in his jurisdiction, and he, the governor of Fujian, was naturally responsible for a great deal. He was hesitating whether to report this matter to the court. If he reported it to the court, the court would definitely denounce him, the highest chief executive of Fujian. However, if he did not report to the court, if the plague continued to spread and there were too many people killed, he would not be able to cover it, and the result would be even worse.

After reading the letter Liu Guangxian wrote to him, his first feeling was that he did not believe it at all. He threw the letter and the dozen masks aside and sneered: "This Liu Guangxian is really simple-minded. He must have been deceived by the officials below. He even believed such a fantasy. He even solemnly wrote a letter from the local official. Just a few pieces of rags can stop the spread of the plague? It's ridiculous!"

At this time, Xu Xueju suddenly had an inspiration in his mind. He took the letter written by Liu Guangxian and looked at it. He said to himself: "Gutian County Magistrate Guo Zhiyuan? Is this the son of Guo Zhengyu? The one who was impeached by Huang Sihua before? The court did not ask Liu Guang to investigate him first, why did Liu Guangxian help him talk?..."

Xu Xueju also belonged to the Donglin Party, but at this time the Donglin Party had not yet been fully formed, and the Donglin Academy of Gu Xiancheng and others had not yet been established, and it was basically a mess. Therefore, Xu Xueju and Guo Zhengyu did not actually have much intersection, so naturally they would not pay attention to a small ninth-rank county magistrate like Guo Zhiyuan. It was not until Huang Sihua instigated several nearby counties in Gutian to jointly impeach Guo Zhiyuan and alarmed Emperor Wanli that Xu Xueju began to pay attention to this matter. However, Xu Xueju felt that since the court sent Liu Guang to Gutian to investigate Guo Zhiyuan first, Guo Zhiyuan would be in danger. Not to mention that Xu Xueju and Guo Zhengyu had no friendship, even if they had friendship, it would be impossible for him to stand up for Guo Zhiyuan to speak. However, because of this incident, Xu Xueju had an impression of the name Guo Zhiyuan, and he suddenly remembered it and made a new change in his mind.

Later generations had a lot of controversy about the Donglin Party. Some people believed that the Donglin Party was a group of progressive intellectuals who were honest and honest and concerned about current affairs. They put forward progressive slogans such as integrity and dedication to the public, revitalizing the administration, opening up the way of speech, and eliminating the accumulated corruption of the government and the opposition. Later generations even elementary school students would recite the famous patriotic verses by the leader of the Donglin Party Gu Xiancheng, "The sound of wind, rain, reading, and the sound of sounds in my ears; family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, and everything was concerned about." Many gentlemen such as Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou who would rather die than surrender in the face of power.

But some people say that the Donglin Party was the culprit of the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Their party attacked the same and talked about the country in a different way, and attacked all opponents with different political views from theirs. They used the name of satirizing the government and commenting on officials to cover up landlords and compete for profit for wealthy businessmen. Many Donglin Party members were even big landlords themselves, which eventually led to the collapse of the court's regime and the out of control of the government, which indirectly led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

It should be said that both of these statements have certain reasons, because the Donglin Party itself is just a bureaucratic political group, composed of countless individuals, and you cannot simply define it by good or bad. This can also be seen from the performance of the Donglin Party members in the process of the Qing Dynasty later destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Some of them chose to surrender, such as Qian Qianyi, and some chose to serve the country with death, such as Shi Kefa. Therefore, both the Donglin Party and the Donglin Party members should be dialectically divided into two parts.

Xu Xueju should be considered a typical Donglin Party member. His official reputation is pretty good. Later generations commented that he was "being good historians and gaining scholars from a family." However, he was also a person who attached great importance to political interests. He was born in a scholarly family and a family of officials, so he was familiar with the system. The first thing he considered was political interests in everything.

At this time, Xu Xueju had just become the governor of Fujian, and the power of the Zhejiang Party in Fujian was very large. Therefore, even as the highest chief executive of Fujian, he often felt constrained everywhere and could not do anything. In addition, the leader of the Zhejiang Party Shen Yiguan was in the prime minister at this time, which made him dare not make any major moves against the Zhejiang Party.

However, Liu Guangxian's letter made him feel that the opportunity had come. Regardless of whether what Liu Guangxian said in the letter was true or not, since Liu Guangxian went to Gutian to investigate Guo Zhiyuan with the imperial edict, he now praised Guo Zhiyuan in the letter. Then Guo Zhiyuan must be fine. Guo Zhiyuan is fine. Then Huang Sihua, who instigated the magistrates of Gutian's neighboring counties to jointly impeach, should be fine. Huang Sihua is an important backbone of the Zhejiang Party in Fujian. Xu Xueju naturally needs to make good use of this opportunity.

So Xu Xueju immediately changed his mind and called his subordinates to order that Gutian's experience in preventing and controlling the spread of the plague in Fujian should be promoted in all places where the epidemic occurs, and people in the epidemic areas must wear masks. Originally, Xu Xueju was also a dead horse to treat the horse. If Gutian's method is effective, it is the best. If there is no effect, he can also push the responsibility to Liu Guangxian. It was Liu Guangxian who provided the wrong information, delaying the prevention and control of the plague.

Unexpectedly, it was really effective. According to Gutian's experience in preventing and controlling the spread of plague, the epidemic, which had a very fierce spread, was controlled. At this time, Gutian made another contribution. Shen Lingyu developed a prescription that could cure this plague. Guo Zhiyuan did not hide his own personal information and presented the prescription again. Xu Xueju had no doubts this time and immediately promoted the prescription. The plague finally subsided!

Although the plague has subsided, the number of deaths caused by this plague is still quite large. The number of deaths in Fujian has reached more than 20,000 due to the infection of the plague has basically exceeded 1,000 in counties affected by the plague. Only Gutian has died from timely discovery and effective prevention and control. There are only ten people who have died from infection with the plague, and six of them are refugees who fled from other places to Gutian.

This is definitely an incredible miracle in this era! So when Gutian County put this datagram on, the official in the Fuzhou Prefectural Office, who was responsible for statistics, was furious and said that the Gutian County Magistrate was so bold that lies were not like this. However, his scolding soon came to an abrupt end, because there was a line of words written below the submission, and the inspector Liu Guangxian witnessed the whole process, and there was no falsehood! It was also stamped with Liu Guangxian's seal!

Liu Guangxian was finally leaving Gutian. Guo Zhiyuan reluctantly said goodbye. After spending time together day and night, the two, who had a huge age gap, have become friends who have forgotten their age. They often quarrel, but their relationship is getting deeper and deeper.

Guo Zhiyuan traveled to this era without a true homosexual friend. Xu Guangqi and the others were all subordinates of Guo Zhiyuan. Although they were very close, they did not have the feeling that only friends would have when they quarrel with Liu Guang first. So Guo Zhiyuan was really reluctant to leave, his eyes were a little red, and he said with a sob: "Old stubborn, you must take good care of your health. You are old, don't fight so hard..."

If someone else saw Guo Zhiyuan talking to Liu Guangxian like this, his eyes would fall out. You must know that Liu Guangxian is famous for his ruthless face. The officials below would be frightened to their feet whenever they heard his name. Liu Guangxian is slowly getting used to this title now, and patted Guo Zhiyuan on the shoulder with emotion and said, "You little brat, go back, don't send it..."

Speaking of this, his face suddenly turned solemn and said to Guo Zhiyuan seriously: "Guo Zhiyuan, you are honest and resourceful. I admire you very much and hope that you can become a pillar of the country in the future. But I also want to give you a piece of advice. This time you were falsely accused, and the emperor will defend you. However, the officialdom is sinister. I can help you once, but I may not help you every time, so you must not be careful. This way of being an official must not be gambled! If you take a wrong step, you will make mistakes step by step. The righteousness is the king. I hope you can do it yourself!..."

(ps: Recently, some readers have made suggestions that the language of this book is too modern, unlike historical novels. First of all, I must admit that my historical foundation is indeed not very profound. This is the first time I have transformed from writing modern times to writing history. Many verbal habits can't 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 think it is necessary to make some explanations. Although reading and writing details are important, sometimes you will lose a lot of fun by being too involved in some details. Since you can see this book now, it means that the plot is attractive to you. Sometimes, it is said that the plot is attractive to you.
