The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty, Chapter 44: The Stubborn Teacher and the self-made troubles

Tang Fan was sick for half a month.


Sui Zhou was also able to see how well he was known.

Not to mention those who were admitted to the academy in the same year as Tang Fan, most of them had been transferred, and a few of them were still in the top ranks and were still working in the Hanlin Academy - it was an honor to be able to work in such a department, not everyone was as "stupid" as Tang Fan to ask to be transferred from the Academy.

In this half month, there were four or five people who came to see Tang Fan in the same year, including Xie Qian, the first scholar of the year.

The number is already quite large, after all, Tang Fan is not a big fan and cannot be loved by everyone, and since the government officials are poor, those who do not know Tang Fan very well must bring gifts when they come to visit, and those who can't afford them, naturally, they just don't come and they will just send some greeting which can be seen as them making up their minds

In the Shuntian Prefecture, where Tang Fan worked, Magistrate Wei Yu and Inspector Du Jiang also came to visit him, and took a seat for a while, bringing greetings from Da-ren and the bailiff Lao Wang. [1] A Prefect is a Magistrate.

In the Northern Administrative Court, Xue Ling, who was familiar with Tang Fan, also came with Pang Qi.

Of course, the two of them coming should be more due to Tang Fan's friendship with Sui Zhou, and to be friends with the boss's best friend was a way to indirectly curry favor with the boss.

However, Lao Xue was a funny man, and he was not like his boss. He sat here for half a day, and the laughter in Tang Fan's room never stopped. But Tang Da-ren’s voice changed because of illness. He went from dumb to coughing while laughing, it sounded like the duck quacking, it is really hurting the city passersby, plus Sui Zhou has been watching them with cold eyes as if they were hindering Tang Fan from healing, and finally, Xue Ling couldn’t sit down after seeing his boss glare, he dumped the gift and ran carrying Pang Qi along with him.

And then, naturally, the Western Depot Eunuch Wang was the one to mention.

Eunuch Wang is probably busy with the ministers over the Northern Expedition, and he is also busy with the search for the mole who may have colluded with Fu Ru in the last case of the murder in the palace, but that doesn't stop him from sending his men here.

If Tang Fan is now the official of the Lower Sixth Rank, or a popular figure before the emperor, it is not unusual for people to come to visit him whenever he is sick. At best, they just want to end good popularity by associating with it, with Tang Fan liaison in touch with friends, but whether friends or people who think it's their duty to visit, and not want anything from him other than a connection.

This shows how popular Tang Fan is.

The people from the Western Depot came to visit Tang Fan nominally on the orders of the Depot, and they always brought gifts with them, but from Sui Zhou's cold face, Tang Fan always felt that Eunuch Wang came to visit Sui Zhou on purpose.

But after thinking about it, it seems that the two of them have no old grudges, is it because the Western Depot and the Jinyiwei have a natural dislike for each other?

Tang Fan saw this as an opportunity to say to Sui Zhou, "Why don't I find a house and move out when I get better?"

Sui Zhou didn't expect him to bring this up, frowning he asked: "Why?"

Tang Fan said, "Although we are good friends and you let me live with A-Dong for free, after all, this is your place, and my friends and colleagues are always coming and going, which is not good, and it also disturbs your rest..."

Sui Zhou said: "They don’t."

Tang Fan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Sui Zhou, who asked a question that was not even close: “Wang Zhi is a friend or a colleague to you?"

Tang Fan froze: "Not either"

Sui Zhou was a bit surprised: "How come?"

Tang Fan laughed: "Friends should be frank and honest with each other, and they should be sincere with each other, but between me and Wang Zhi because if we are friends, and now that I live in your home and he asked me too if I wanted to live at his, and if there is trouble here and there is an option to go live at Wang Zhi’ place. I won't go."

This dynasty eunuchs fight with ministers is not new, but they have to be careful about the influence if it is Huien he is like one of the few eunuchs who are just, Wang Zhi this kind of eunuch is both good and evil, very easy to affect the reputation of people around him, when the reputation of a friend is bad, the future of official reputation is also overdue to the relation, the reason for the question from Sui Zhou is precise because the last time he saw them two very close and wanted to warn his friend.

At this point, seeing that Tang Fan was clear-headed and understood the mystery, he nodded in satisfaction: “Then don't mention the matter of moving out again, and don't mention it again in the future.”.

Tang Da-ren hesitated, "But..."

Sui Zhou: "If you want, this will be your home from now on."

Tang Fan was slightly moved.

Sui Zhou patted him on the shoulder: "You and I may not have known each other long, but the depth of our friendship is never measured by the length of time. You're born to do big things, and you don't care much about small things. Even if you move out, if you have to worry about rent or other problems one day what to do then, why don't you just live here in peace? I won't be married for a few years, so you don't have to worry about it, and as I'm a man who doesn't dare to intrude, I'll be relieved if you stay here."

In fact, General Sui Baihu is not stupid at all, he just doesn't like to say more than he usually does, and when he does, the effect is definitely a hundred times stronger than the words he usually speaks with.

Tang Da-ren was really touched by this, but even if he was always argumentative this time he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Sui Zhou handed over the medicine in his hand, and Tang Da-ren, who was so full of bravery and brotherhood, did not want to take it and poured it into his mouth as if it were boiled water.

As a result, his face was completely twisted.




What the hell is this... Sui Gangchuan, you're taking advantage of me!

Seeing his accusing expression, Sui Zhou, with a faint smile in his eyes, picked up the empty bowl and fed a piece of cinnamon sugar to him as if he were soothing a small animal.

Tang Da-ren grunted and scowled, showing his displeasure.

Sui Zhou didn't care either, and raised his hand, and fed the candy into his mouth.

Tang Fan: "..."

Sui Zhou had just left, when A-Dong came in on his heels.

"Brother, there's someone out there visiting you again."

Tang Fan, who was so busy these days with the people who came to visit him, felt even more tired than usual, and said, "Go out and tell him that I have fallen asleep after drinking the medicine and let him leave his name.

A-Dong promised and was about to leave when the said person couldn't wait to come in.

A voice of displeasure followed: “Runqing, you're not even sleeping!"

Tang Fan: "......."

Da-ren, how can you not follow the rules! How can you go into someone's house without an invitation!

Pan Bin was still wearing an official uniform, and seeing Tang Fan's strange face, he waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I came here today, I have something to tell you!"

Tang Fan said helplessly, "Brother, I can go to the courthouse in a couple of days, why can't we wait until then? You've sent Wei Yu and the others to visit me, why do you have to come in person? A-Dong, serve tea to Da-ren, this is the Shuntian Prefecture’s Governor Pan Bin, Pan Da-ren, our prefecture official guardian!"

A-Dong was a typical commoner because she did not react particularly to the powerful Eunuch Wang. Instead, when she heard about the county's parents, she stared at Pan Bin like a rare animal for a while, and then he ran out to make tea.

Pan Bin didn't bother to talk to A-Dong and sat down in a chair beside the bed, urgently saying, "Runqing, I'm afraid our teacher is in trouble!

Tang Fan froze and asked, "What do you mean?"

Their teacher was Qiu Jun, who is now a figure in the Imperial Court.

Pan Bin said, “The other day, Wang Zhi asked for the recovery of the Hetao Plains, do you know about it?"

Tang Fan nodded, not only did he know, but Wang Zhi had consulted him over this issue.

Pan Bin said: "I heard that the court was very much opposed to his proposal, and even his Majesty, who trusted him very much, rejected his proposal, but Wang Zhi did not give up. Two days ago, the news of the Tatars making a fracas on the north side came, Wang Zhi went to the Imperial Court to make his case, and he was invited to go to sort things out."

At that moment, someone brought in the tea and handed it to Pan Bin.

Pan Bin didn't even look at it, but took a sip of it and glanced at the one who served the tea, almost spitting out the tea!

The person who brought him the tea was not the little girl he had just seen, but Sui Zhou in the Jinyiwei costume!

General Sui Baihu, dressed in a Feiyu suit with embroidered fishes and a spring sword around his waist, went to the room. Pan the Bin’s face did not look good, a glance, suddenly he felt like his scalp was being pulled, how can he sit steadily?

Even though he was much taller than Sui Zhou, he stood up and laughed: "It's Sui's brother, right? I've heard Runqing talk about you several times, and today, when I see you, you're a real talent!"

Sui Zhou nodded, setting the tea set down: "You guys talk, I have to go back to the Northern Administrative Court beforehand."

As usual, he didn't take Pan Bin seriously, but under that pressuring aura, Pan Bin took it for granted and didn't feel anything wrong, just said, "Well, you go and get busy!"

But Sui Zhou took a few steps and stopped to say to Pan Bin: “Da-ren, Runqing just drank the medicine, I'm afraid he'll have to go to bed early later."

What I'm saying is, don't talk for too long

What else could Pan Bin say but say goodbye?

After Sui Zhou left, Pan Bin was relieved, and then he snapped out of it, feeling a bit embarrassed by what he had just done.

But there was something more important at hand, and he said, "Where were we?"

Tang Fan reminded: “Wang Zhi is in the main battle fighting for the expedition."

Pan Bin: "Yes, yes, but most people in the dynasty do not advocate for war, but there are people who support Wang Zhi expedition, so the two sides are at odds, which is actually not our business, but seeing that His Majesty's attitude has loosened, it seems that he wants to agree to Wang Zhi to go to war, so at this time, there was a group of people to impeach Wang Zhi, saying that he is very happy fishing for the achievement, for his own selfish desire, and he wants to engage in militarism that he wanted to destroy the treasury and the coffers of the country and have the whole thing empty, and also said that Wang Zhi is a eunuch, but now he wants to control the military power, it is really like repeating the mistake of the Eunuch Wang Zhen..." [1] Basically Eunuch are Servants to the Inner Palaces of the Forbidden Palace; they have no business going to war.

He rambled on and on for half a day without getting to the point, and Tang Fan didn't interrupt him.

He was not interrupted by Tang Fan either, because, from Pan Bin's words, he could also see some troubling political situation.

Wang Zhi was in control of the Western Depot, and he had to be trusted by the emperor and the noble consort, and he was not like a crab wanting to grab everything, is this not going to cross some court officials and every time he comes off trying to make a huge issue of a small thing and wave this hands around, but also by at the Marquis of Wu'an-Mansion case he was mixed in it and when it was solved and his name included, the man seemed to feel that he was invincible.

But he wasn't invincible. He was subject to a lot of control.

The first of these was the Emperor.

Since the founding of the Ming dynasty, the Chenghua Emperor has been one of the odder reigns.

And why was that?

Because the emperor didn't want to work, and the cabinet ministers weren't so powerful that they wanted to leave the emperor behind and hold the country together, so they all wanted to hold on to the Emperor and the Crown Prince and just muddle things along.

In the end, the emperor was in charge of the dynasty.

The emperor is the emperor, and he also has the emperor's mind, and he would raise up Wang Zhi, Shang Ming, Wan Tong to confront the civil servants, and to do the balancing act that all the emperors like to do pity the court officials and watching them fight and counter each other and forget him.

But the Chenghua Emperor is not that powerful, so his ideas are always swaying.

Like this time, he was reluctant to make a big move at first, so he rejected Wang Zhi's proposal to recover the Hetao Plains.

The ministers at the bottom also saw the wind in their favor and rose up against Wang Zhi.

But as Wang Zhi spoke more and more times, the emperor began to fantasize about winning wars.

So his idea of no war began to waver.

At this time, some of the ministers who were following the Emperor's footsteps reacted and began to agree with Wang Zhi, while others did not, and continued to oppose him.

Since the Yingzong Emperor was captured, the dynasty had not had the courage like in the early years, and the idea of "Guarding the dangers" prevailed in the dynasty and people preferred the good life and were unwilling to go to war.

In the end, the people were used to a comfortable life, fearing that the Tartars would be angered by them confronting them and then there will be another Tumu Fort Rebellion against the dynasty.

Of course, there were also some righteous people, who did not want to see a eunuch like Wang Zhi in power and were opposed to war, so they also followed the upper hand.

Among them, there was Tang Fan and Pan Bin’s teacher, Qiu Jun, who was not an official.

Although Qiu Jun was not a eunuch, he still had the power to report directly to the Emperor, and he also opposed the war, especially Wang Zhi, because he thought that Wang Zhi only wanted to gain military merit, so he encouraged the Emperor to go to war.

Wang Zhi thought so.

Two days ago, the emperor finally agreed to Wang Zhi's proposal to appoint the Imperial Censor from the Left Imperial Censor Wang Yue to be the military governor with the title of military secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Zhu Yong as deputy commander of the Censorate. , to defend the country as well General Wang Zhi in the expedition, an army went the Hetao Plains area, to monitor the enemy, if there is a case of infringement, they can strike at their discretion.

The phrase "monitor the enemy's situation" was too soft, in fact, it was a go-ahead for Wang Zhi to go to war.

Anyway, when they got there, the emperor was far away, and Wang Yue was also the main guy in the warring faction, so he would still be colluding with Wang Zhi, so he could do whatever he wanted.




Only Qiu Jun still persisted in playing on the ground, his words became more and more violent, and he even insulted Wang Zhi, which finally angered the emperor who waved his hand and told him to pack up his baggage and go to Nanjing to take up an office there. [1] To be sent to be a Magistrate or governor at a faraway place is something akin to banishment.

Pan Bin said, sighing, “This teacher of ours, he's not an official, what's his business going to knock heads there count he just played his days at the Hanlin Academy? Now he is going to Nanjing, or to put it nicely he is going there as an official or the Ministry of Households Right Assistant Minister, and he has been promoted a whole grade, but who doesn't know that Nanjing is a place of retirement for old age, and can he still hope to return to the capital one day?"

The Yongle Emperor moved his capital to Beijing and moved the imperial court to Beijing, but Nanjing still has a whole set of six departments to serve as the second capital, but the problem was, however, that Nanjing had no financial power or the right to appointed official above the Seventh Rank and so the one who is sent there are like the pretty looking vases on shelves.

So the officials who were sent to Nanking were both venerable and too important to be retired by the emperor, and he didn’t want them to work hard, or, like Mr. Qiu, those who offended the emperor and went there to feed the mosquitoes.

You'd be retired early if you didn't work hard for your salary and feel like you have no right to sit in the courtroom.

If you go there, you can say goodbye to your political life, and the chances of being reinstated by the emperor are very slim.

Otherwise, why would Pan Bin come to Tang Fan in such a hurry?

But Tang Fan was feeling a bit guilty.

In the end, he encouraged Wang Zhi to propose to the emperor, even if he was not the "culprit", he was an "accomplice", but in the end, his own teacher was trapped in the pit he helped to create.

"Why don't you persuade our teacher to make him write a new letter and apologize to His Majesty, who is always soft-hearted and will certainly forgive him. You're the most respected, and you're the most effective!" Pan Bin said to Tang Fan

Tang Fan shook his head: "You don't know the nature of the teacher, if he was a man who would have been a good person to please the people he liked, with his knowledge, how could he still be a Master in the Imperial College?"

The more Pan Bin listened, the more he looked sad, the teachers and students were more like father and son in the official court, they were supposed to be the teachers who get to take care of the students, but it turned out to be the reverse.

He couldn't help but complain about Old man Qiu's troubles, but he was still his teacher anyway, and he would definitely help if he could help.

Tang Fan also felt a bit guilty in his heart, he didn't expect this to end up on his teacher.

"Why don't I go to the teacher tomorrow and persuade him, see if I can get him to change his mind?" He said hopelessly.

"Well, I'll go with you, I can't just watch my teacher get promoted and then demeaned." Pan Bin said.

Qiu Jun has a lot of academic achievements and students.

Some of them were his students in the examinations, such as Pan Bin, some of them came to him because they admired him, and some of them were his own students which he offered to tutor, such as Tang Fan, who he offered to be his teacher.

Of all the students, the most accomplished ones are Pan Bin and Tang Fan.

But the temperaments of these three students-master group are completely opposite.

Qiu Jun has a strong and narrow temperament.

Pan Bin is smooth and worldly, but he is also overly worldly and prone to compromise with the world.

Only Tang Fan, who has certain principles in his heart, is willing to go with the flow in front of the world, which is exactly in line with the gentleman's style of those seeking justice and peace.

Qiu Jun's character is not perfect, but he is aware of his own shortcomings and appreciates his young student’s character when he first offered Tang Fan to be his student it was due to his man by his motives and calligraphy articles.

The reason why Tang Fan was able to deduce someone's character from the article written by the young crown prince is that he learned this trick from his teacher.

Tang Fan's rank was so low that no one would respond to his plea for mercy for his teacher, and Pan Bin was still a member of the Fourth Rank official, but he was drowned in a vast array of pleadings. But he was drowned in the vast memorial he sent to the throne in a memorial to the throne, and when he did absolutely nothing happened, nor he did not know if his memorials were taken by the cabinet people to be used as the makeshift table legs.

But in the end, it was still old man Qiu himself, and it was useless for the students to plead for mercy for the old man Qiu because he nearly had another stroke and would run away to oppose it.

They agreed on this matter, and the next morning they went out to Qiu Jun's house.

The Qiu Family were packing luggage preparing to go to Nanjing, although they went there to persuade their teacher not to go, Pan Bin and Tang Fan know by heart that it is easy to move mountains to change the old man’s mind.

Seeing it was about the beginning of winter, the northern states are cold and dry, the South warm and humid, Pan Bin brought two bottles of rheumatism relieving wine to the teacher, while Tang Fan brought some cakes for the Qiu Family children to satisfy their craving, but also bought some commonly used ready-made pills, to prepare the way for emergency use them.

Qiu Jun was naturally happy to see them coming, and was busy preparing tea and greeting them as they sat down.

It was only after hearing what they were up to that old man Qiu Jun became a little less interested.

He waved his hands and said: “This matter need not be talked about, I will not change my mind, a eunuch who would have been ignorant of military affairs, get to take the army to the north to beat around the bush, and then just cut off some heads and take credit, this is not new, the change of civilization is still in sight, His Majesty has forgotten the lessons of the previous emperor, huh! Do we have to defend the capital again for him to be convinced?"

A person's academic achievement has nothing to do with his character, and likewise, not much to do with his personality.

Qiu Jun's learning was good, but that didn't stop him from being hot-tempered, and once he made up his mind, no one could persuade him.

Pan Bin gave Tang Fan a wink.

Tang Fan said slowly, “Teacher, a student has a saying, I don't know what to say."

Qiu Jun glared at him, laughing and cursing, "Don't pretend to be honest in front of me, just say what you want!"

Tang Fan first smiled, then said: "Since the emperor of the great ancestor has reused eunuchs, Zheng He, Hou Xian these people let alone, today's Huai En, can also be counted as a loyalist, the emperor appointing the eunuchs have been customized, even if another Wang Zhen emerges, no one can change this fact. The emperor's trust in eunuchs, indeed, is greater than that of the court ministers."

“Take his Royal Highness the Crown Prince, for example, he was able to survive the tossing and turning of the palace, thanks to the preservation of the inner court, and when he was crowned, he would have trusted the eunuchs more, as is human nature."

"Since eunuchs in power are inevitable, this is something you and I can't change, then even if it's not Wang Zhi, it will be someone else, although Wang Zhi took charge of the Western Depot and after that, arrested a lot of officials and put them in prison, but in detail, of these people, not a single one of them was a common person, this is much better than the Eastern Depot being the deciding force already, with the Western Depot to counter it, the Eastern Depot does not dare to go too wild, this is also a benefit of having someone like Wang Zhi."

"Moreover, since the change of the Tumu Forts, the power of the dynasty has declined, and while it once dared to strike, it now dares not even to knock on the border, and in the long run, its reticence to fight has inevitably fuelled the arrogance of the enemy, and made the foreigners around it think that our Ming Dynasty is weak and easily bullied."

"So the students thought that this Wang Zhi’s North Expedition was actually necessary, so the teacher shouldn't be so angry about it."

He thought that Qiu Jun wouldn't agree with his words, at least he wouldn't be as excited as before.

But when he finished, Qiu Jun shook his head and said coldly: “Runqing, you disappoint me too much, I thought that even if you didn't dare to write a memorial opposing this, at least you wouldn't disagree with me, but you still stand on Wang Zhi's side, do you still have the courage to be a civil official? It's true, eunuchs in power is indeed commonplace, the Taizu Emperor also had a bad start, but you look at recent years, with eunuchs who are close and usurping their roles, what will happen in the end? Even Yu Zijun, who is close to Huai En, does not dare to help Huai En's propaganda in public! You're really getting better and better and this officiate game!"

The more he said, the angrier he became: "You know that the country is weak nowadays, but wars can't be fought just because you want them to be fought. Once Wang Zhi is released to the wild, it would be nice if he didn't kill a few heads of common people and say they are the offenders and come back to take credit!"

Pan Bin didn't expect to call his youngest brother here, but instead of being able to persuade the teacher, he added fuel to the fire and said, “Take it easy, take it easy!"

Qiu Jun was not finished: “Runqing, if you can quiet down and do your studies, you may have become a famous master in the future, but you had to leave that quiet place in Hanlin Academy and go out to fight, I heard on something happened in the palace, and you were involved? And now you're involved with Wang Zhi?"

Pan Bin gave Tang Fan a wink and told him not to say anything that made the old man angry.

Tang Fan laughed bitterly: "No, it's just that when I was investigating a case, I met Wang Zhi by accident. He knew I was the Shuntian Prefecture Commissioner, so he asked me to help him do it.”

What happened in the East Palace, because it involves the inner palace, everyone only knows that Han Fang the youngest son died, the murderer turned out to be his elder son, it was a sigh for a while, the Noble Consort Wan was cleared of all suspicion, and the bowl of lily soup with green beans and lilies was not mentioned, but the other rumors were unconfirmed.

Tang Fan has made an impression on the emperor and the noble consort, but he has not made any significant impact on the outside world.

Especially the Noble Consort Wan, although she was angry with Tang Fan for asking her if she was the murderer in front of everyone, and even told the emperor that he was too frivolous to take up the job afterward, Tang Fan not only solved the case, but also cleared her of the suspicion, which seems to prove Tang Fan is a courageous person and has the ability lacked in most officials.

The Noble Consort Wan has been domineering for a long time and does not take other people's favors seriously, but this time she owed Tang Fan a Da-ren.

If she still remembered this favor, Tang Fan's promotion would be around the corner

Fortunately, Qiu Jun doesn't know what's going on inside, otherwise, if he knew that his student had accidentally won the appreciation of the Noble Consort Wan and Wang Zhi, he would have vomited three liters of blood.

Tang Fan naturally didn't dare to talk to him about his suggestion to Wang Zhi, or else he wouldn't be able to recover the teacher and disciple relation.




But in this way, the meeting between the teachers and the students was not a happy one.

Qiu Jun was very disappointed with Tang Fan and Pan Bin, feeling that they had lost their basic principles in the officialdom and had become just like the others.

When they came out of Qiu House, Pan Bin complained: "You shouldn't have argued with the teacher just now, just let him say what he said, and bear it or not!

Tang Fan is helpless: "I don't want to, I don't know how the teacher can't listen to a word."

Pan Bin added, “The teacher is also the same, why is he so stubborn and old fashioned, but if he is a little more rounded, with his seniority and knowledge, he should not be just a Master of the Imperial Court now."

Tang Fan was silent.

To be honest, this meeting with Qiu Jun was quite a blow to him.

There were many officials like Qiu Jun who insisted that they should not go to war, not only to appease the emperor, but also because they were frightened by the change of the world affairs like the not so past of the Tumu Forts Rebellion, and had lost the courage of the early Ming Dynasty might. what would be the future of the country with such a group of officials?

He thought that with the knowledge of his teacher, he would be able to understand his views.

But Qiu Jun didn't agree with him and didn't understand him.

The two of them went their separate ways when they left the street. Pan Bin reminds him that he should go to the office tomorrow, while Tang Fan walks alone on the long street in silence, the bustling of the city were not able to catch his eyes.

He wondered if it would be better for him to concentrate on his work and not get involved in the Imperial court affairs.

After all, he was only the Lower Sixth Rank now, and these things were too far away from him, so he didn't have to go against his teacher for it, and he was too low to get involved.

But another voice was telling him that there was nothing wrong with his views, that he had to stick to his own views that he should not easily retreat just because he disagreed with his teacher.

He walked absentmindedly, but at some point, he heard a noise and a quarrel coming from behind him.

Tang Fan looked back in amazement, and a fist was thrown at him!

The author has something to say:

The history of Wang Zhi's journey to the north is about 3 times large, but the year and the specific content have been changed to fiction.



Little Theater:

Sui Zhou: I heard someone say that was I fished out of the pit last time?(angry face)

The writer: Tang Da-ren said it!(scared face)

Sui Zhou: Oh, that's okay.(calm face)



Tang Fan:...
