Interesting to say that The Scholars is he is my brother in the same year.

Fan Jin once admitted Xun Mei, a young student from Wenshang County, Yanzhou Prefecture, to study Taoism in Shandong Province. And this new scholar Xun Xiucai, his first teachers-Zhou Jin and Zhou Laoda, who were then the vice president of the Central Party School in imperial academy, also happened to be Fan Jin's teachers.

Xunmei benefited from the training and support of two mentors before and after, and the road to the imperial examination was smooth. As a teenager, she was a scholar in high school, and her temple was in Ermei, except for the director of the Ministry of Industry (officials at the department level or below). It happened that Wang Hui, an old countryman who was thirty years older than him and was an official with him in to be no.1, was over fifty years old.

This Wang Hui once met Zhou Siye in Xue Jiaji village school more than ten years ago (Zhou Jin was not successful at that time, but bent down to teach in the village school) and had seen Xun Mei's homework with his own eyes. At that time, he was surprised! Later, when chatting with Zhou Jin, I talked about my dream of watching the exam list on the first day of the first month of the first month. There was a fellow named Xun Mei in the same list. Wang Hui only took it as a joke at first, but who would have thought that after more than ten years, they actually became the same scholar (in the same year)!

because of this karma, the two became friends who have forgotten the new year, and they were extremely affectionate! I lived with the same food and served as an official in the same dynasty. After the salary was full, I joined Yuan Wailang (deputy director level below the Ministry).

Soon after, Xun Mei's mother passed away, and Xun Mei was preparing to present Ding You (according to the law, the parents of serving officials passed away, and I had to be suspended for three years to observe filial piety in my hometown). Wang Hui said, "Brother Nian, let's discuss this matter again. Nowadays, the examination of subjects and courses is just around the corner, and your qualifications and mine are promising. If it is reported to Ding You's family, it will be three years later. How can we get it? It's better to hide this matter and wait until you have passed the exam. "

after Wang hui and Xun mei had a secret discussion, Jin dongya, who is in charge of the case (book office) of the official department, was invited to discuss it. Jin Dongya said, "An official can't go into mourning. Can only be said to be able to member, to leave the department in office Shouzhi, this might as well, but it must be recommended by the adults ... "Xun Mei went to ask Zhou Siye and Fan Tongzheng to recommend two teachers. The two replied: "The official is small, which is not in line with the case of grabbing love ... If the member of the Ministry of Industry is a leisure Cao, it is inconvenient to recommend and grab love." Xun Mei had to present Ding You.

it's interesting for Wang Hui to arrive at this time. She asked for leave to accompany Xun Mei to her hometown for a funeral, and borrowed thousands of taels of silver from Xun's family.

after returning to Beijing, Wang Hui unexpectedly got a lucrative job: the magistrate of Nanchang prefecture, Jiangxi province. His predecessor, Mi Taishou, was an official who paid attention to "governing by doing nothing". His job was to settle down and rest with the people, so the lawsuit was simple and the punishment was clear, and the people were not disturbed. Wang Hui didn't agree with this, and his old gentleman let him out, which was to do business ("three years to clear the magistrate, 1 thousand snowflakes and silver." ), it is important to make achievements, as for whether Wang people are happy or not, it is not worth worrying about. Since Wang Taishou took office, people in Hecheng have seen the interests of Grandpa, and they are also afraid in their sleep (haha, it can make people afraid in their sleep, which shows that they are cruel officials and are first-class people). Therefore, in fact, he was recommended as "the first capable person in Jiangxi" by his superiors, and two years later, he was promoted to Nangan Road.

When King Ning of Jiangxi rebelled, the imperial court sent him to destroy and save military supplies. Don't want to, ning Wang armies, broke the south Jiangxi loyalist, he has been captured and surrendered, by the pseudo post (guide people "unfilial", how can you be a loyal minister! ）。 Ning Wang was troubled for two years, and was defeated by Wang Yangming, the newly-built Bo Wang (that is, the cow who founded the "Mind Learning"), and he gave in easily. The puppet officials fled and died.

Wang Hui also changed her Tsing Yi cap and fled. All the way to Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province, I happened to meet the grandson of Chi Taishou, Chi Gongsun, who just came here to collect debts. Chi Gongsun also gave Wang Hui all the 22 pieces of silver he got for travelling expenses (a legacy of his father). Wang Hui also returned some old books to Chi Wang Sun, and then as a speech fled to Taihu Lake, changed his name, and cut his hair.

in the same year, Xun Mei of Wang Hui, many years later, made two quasi-inspections of the salt empire (supervising the salt affairs of Huai River and Huai River) and two quasi-salt ambassadors (in charge of the salt affairs of Huai River and Huai River). Later, he was dismissed by the court for taking bribes and bending the law.
