On this day, Tuhai was resting at home, and suddenly someone came to report, saying that someone came to visit him. Tu Hai asked who was coming, but before the housekeeper could answer, there was a burst of laughter outside the door: "My lord, the lower officials came to meet the adults, and the adults don't want to drive people away!" ”

Tu Hai knew who was coming when he heard the laughter, and only scolded with a smile: "Since you don't want the old man to drive people away, why did you break into the door, then don't blame the old man for driving away the evil guests!" Just listening to Tuhai's tone, you know that this person who entered directly without telling him has a very close relationship with Tuhai.

As soon as the man outside the door walked into the house, he saluted Tu Hai and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, Shangguan is good!" ”

Tu Hai didn't see the vicious appearance of pretending to be a guest just now, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "The old man is still in good health, but with you as a villain, it's a little unpleasant!" ”

The man only said: "Then the official will play chess with the adult for a day as an atonement?" ”

Tu Hai said with satisfaction: "Acceptable! ”

The two of them smiled and made a sharp fight, and Tu Hai asked the man to sit down and said, "Butler, you go and make a good pot of tea for our wicked guest." ”

The man smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen you for many years, but the adults didn't even let the door in, and the lower officials didn't report it when they entered the mansion!" "This man spoke very casually, and it was obvious that he knew Tuhai very well, so much so that he had come straight to the door without reporting it before.

"But someone hasn't come to the house for many years, the door of the old man's house has long been closed for someone, and it's too late to come now!" Tu Hai seemed to be dissatisfied.

The man had to beg for mercy and did not dare to speak back. Tu Hai stroked his beard with satisfaction when he saw that this person had become obedient, and said, "It's really hard for you to stay in Jiangnan for so long, is it possible that you can't miss it?" ”

"Look at what the lord said, Xia Guan naturally didn't dare to slack off in the slightest because of the emperor's order, if it weren't for the drag of Xia Guan's body, he was still doing things for the emperor." The man also became unhurried, and he became a little serious in the face of Tuhai.

"Gong Zhen, who are you coaxing with this, but how did you provoke them, you, the governor of Zhejiang, have only been doing it in just three years?" The sea of pictures is also colorful.

"My lord's words are biased, the governor has always been a three-year term..." This person, who was called the Pilgrimage by Tu Hai, didn't dare to say anything when he saw Tu Hai staring at him.

"Gong Zhen, you were also a famous family at the beginning, although your father died, and the old man also called you a nephew, why can't I even say it?" Tu Hai said helplessly.

When the man named Hajj saw Tuhai say this, he naturally didn't dare to bear it, so he said: "Although this matter offended them, but the lower officials don't regret it, so don't talk about it anymore!" ”

Tu Hai also sighed when he saw this, and said: "Also, these things are what you have to do after all, but you at least give the old man an explanation, where did you provoke them?" ”

Seeing this, the man also knew that Tuhai insisted, so he said: "That person is making a lot of money in Jiangnan, and this time Jiangnan was flooded again, and the lower officials can still take care of not messing with them, so the lower officials directly took out all the grain in the warehouse of the political envoys, and let them have no targets for corruption, so they naturally hate the lower officials." ”

Tu Hai didn't know what to say when he heard this, and finally just nodded. In fact, Tuhai has no way to deal with those who are corrupt in Jiangnan, because now that the dynasty has just been established, those who follow Taizong to fight the country are afraid that they will be driven out of the Central Plains by the Han people one day, so when they are officials, they have always been a big fisher, and they can't wait to blow up the land under their rule even with oil, and the people above are still in a state of acquiescence to this, so Tuhai is also helpless.

And although the person next to Tuhai is already a banner man, he is also a Han at the root, where can I see that those people have harmed Jiangnan too deeply, and this back and forth is a complete revenge.

In fact, it has not been said who this pilgrim is, in fact, his father is also a famous person, his father's name is Fan Wencheng, Fan Wencheng is a Xiandou, and his name is Huiyue. Zeng Shi Taizu, Taizong, Shizu and today's Shengshang, were the important ministers of the early Qing Dynasty, and most of the regulations at the time of the founding of the country came from his hands, and they were regarded as the first of the civil ministers.

And the person who spoke to Tuhai is Fan Chengmo, the second son of Fan Wencheng, Fan Chengmo, the word is the Duke of Pilgrimage, the number is Luoshan, and the Han Army is inlaid with a yellow flag, he is now the governor of Zhejiang, and this time he came to the capital to complain about his illness, but also because he offended an official from a Manchurian aristocracy in Zhejiang before, although his father is also an important minister, but now that Fan Wencheng has long since died, he naturally does not dare to conflict with that person more. This time I came to take up a post in a different place, and the province was retaliated against.

As for the origin of Tuhai and Fan Chengmo, we have to start from Fan Wencheng. When Tu Hai first entered the court, Fan Wencheng also appreciated Tu Hai's talent very much, so he repeatedly cultivated Tu Hai, so that Tu Hai quickly gained a firm foothold in the court.

And Fan Wencheng may be because he is a Han Chinese, when many people in the court are hostile to the Han people, Fan Wencheng Guang has a good relationship, and he also strives to cultivate a handsome man from a Manchu background, so that the court is less hostile to the Han people. Fan Wencheng did indeed do it effectively, Tuhai was influenced by Fan Wencheng, and he did not reject everything related to the Han people, and even loved it.

Therefore, Tu Hai is also friendly with Fan Chengmo and other brothers, but because Fan Wencheng and Tu Hai broke the knot, Fan Chengmo should call Tu Hai an uncle. However, Fan Chengmo is no more than ten years younger than Tu Hai, so he is only willing to call Tu Hai by officialdom on weekdays.

Later, after Fan Chengmo passed the imperial examination, he was selected as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy and awarded the Hongwen Academy for editing. At that time, Tuhai was a scholar of Hongwen Academy and a minister of parliament. At this time, Tu Hai became Fan Chengmo's top boss, but the relationship between the two was also a teacher and a friend, so the relationship between the two became closer during this period.

And during this period, Fan Chengmo became familiar with Tuhai's mansion, and later he didn't even send a sticker when he entered the door, as if he was his own family, and Tuhai also acquiesced to this matter.

Later, Tuhai was robbed of office because he offended Shunzhi, and Fan Chengmo also treated Tuhai as before, so it can be said that the two have been friends for many years.

It is also for this reason that Fan Chengmo didn't care that he was still pretending to be sick as soon as he entered Beijing, so he came to visit Tuhai. Of course, Fan Chengmo also didn't know much about the situation in Beijing, and wanted Tuhai to help solve his doubts. There is also the fact that the family that Fan Chengmo offended was actually none other than a child of Niu Hulu's family. Because Tuhai and Niu Hulu are in-laws of each other, this time I came to see if there was a chance to make peace and save the grudges.

And Fan Chengmo mentioned this person to Tuhai and asked him if there was room for reversal in this matter.

Tu Hai was silent for a long time after hearing this, and said: "If it is another child of the Niu Hulu clan, the old man is still a little sure, but you provoke this person who has always been a bit of a meat and vegetarian, it can be said that he is a hob meat, he doesn't know how many people he has offended with his family background, but the family protects him, and he is very obedient to his opinion, and it is useless to find his elders in this matter, so it is likely that he will fight to the death with you." ”

Fan Chengmo sighed when he heard it: "It seems that I am going to settle this grudge." ”
