Du Fan, named Cheng Zhi, is from Huangyan. When I was young, I traveled with Zu Duye and Du Zhiren. His ancestors were Zhu's students, and when he arrived in Du, his knowledge was even more noticeable. In the first year of Jiading (1208), Du Fan was selected, took the Jinshi examination, and was transferred to Jintan County Commandant and Wuzhou Judicial Service. Three years later (1230), Du Fan served as the head of the household department. Less than six years, Du Fan was promoted to Dali Temple.
In the first year of Duanping (1234), Du Fan was appointed as the military supervisor. The next year, he played a right fist in North Korea. He said to the emperor, "Your Majesty has personally handled political affairs for two years. Nowadays, we not only can't see the effect of reforming politics, but sometimes we are less worried than before. There must be roots for stubborn diseases, and there must be roots for saving stubborn diseases. The bad habits accumulated in 30 or 40 years have gradually infiltrated and eroded people's hearts, and there are irreparable disadvantages. Their root is just a private word. Your majesty should have been alert to the root cause of the disease and removed private interests. Therefore, the accession to the throne may be selfish, noble and noble, may be excessively rewarded because of an affair, and may be restrained from sending troops to conquer guilty people because of an affair. Some remarks about getting close to civil servants come from hearsay. Some useless work in civil engineering is for personal consumption, and courtesy is to respect and appoint talents. Your majesty has not done it completely, and it is difficult for your majesty to accept the advice and carry it out. Ministers can't work together in Qi Xin, don't trust each other, mark the imperial edict at the bottom of the proclamation, decide things together without telling the specific situation in advance, and can't discuss with each other whether it will work. Although ministers discuss it together, it depends on private opinions when implementing it. Sages in the imperial court secretly discuss and decide various things among the people. This is the selfishness that ministers have not removed. If the monarch and the prime minister are allowed to be selfish, then it is only a dead letter to promulgate laws and regulations to educate the people. Recently, the court summoned famous Confucian scholars to explain this theory, saying that people who are interested in discussing things have gained knowledge and are sincere and upright people, so they have been vilified and ridiculed. Your majesty was confused by this kind of person's remarks and had the idea of hating Confucianism. This is the key to the use and retreat of talented people and treacherous people. It concerns the security of the world. I hope your majesty will recognize the truth and put it into practice. "
Du Fan was appointed as a doctor, and soon he was appointed as the censor. He said, "In the past, the Taiwan Province councilor used by the powerful ministers must be their own cronies. They will make an agreement with each other before giving orders." The people and events attacked by Taiwan Province's councilor impeached all followed the punch line of the powerful minister, so the laws of the country were abolished and the customs were destroyed. After your majesty personally handled the state affairs, he first used Hong and Wang Sui to completely correct the original ills and repel the treacherous court official. However, in the imperial court, there are still many constraints. After impeaching the emperor's favorite person, Taiwan Province tried his best to protect him, and first agreed to the requirements of the impeached person to manage the palace. If anything is involved, we will mediate, and finally, we will withdraw the crime paper. Some people impeached a guilty person, but the court gave him a new appointment, and soon got a good office after being laid off. Since then, the inspiring style of Taiwan remonstrance has gradually disappeared; The imperial decrees that were gradually perfected in the past have been increasingly destroyed. "Li zong is very sure of these words.
Du Fan also said that He Bing, the minister of Jiujiang Wei, was too old to resist the cold. He wanted to stop him, but he didn't carry it out. Du Fan went on to say, "It's a trivial matter if a garrison officer doesn't stop it. Taiwan Province's exhorter will do what he says, which is a great event. " Stop Taiwan Province's remonstrance, or even hide your majesty's will and not carry it out, all right. Is this what you should have when trying to make a new deal? When the Prime Minister Zheng Qingzhi saw this letter, he was furious and asked Du Fan to be removed from office five times. In his letter, he said, "The crisis is about to happen, and cronies will be in trouble." He also believes that Du Fan is adhering to someone's whispering to decorate his exclusion and frame-up of the minister. Du Fan impeached himself. He said, "there is a difference between a prime minister and a remonstrance, but everything they do is for one purpose." They should only serve the country together. How can they be allowed to harm the public with private interests? "The execution for the prime minister, for the suggestion. How can the person subjected to execution fully meet the needs of things? People who talk about it may inevitably be attacked and vilified, which is also common in a clear country. In order to safeguard the laws of the country, ancient ministers must praise Taiwan Province's admonition. I heard that some ministers were punished for remonstrating with Taiwan, but I was angry when I didn't know that ministers were taboo about remonstrating with Taiwan. In the past, the admonition used by those in power must be their cronies; Your Majesty's political reform, all the admonishers in Taiwan Province were personally selected by your Majesty. If your majesty doesn't want me to talk about the relatives of the minister in power, then clamp my mouth and take my life. So what's the difference between this and the appointment of cronies by ministers as Taiwan Province remonstrators in the past? I don't know who this person is who is saying' whispering to someone'. What is the proof of' decoration crowding out and framing ministers'? Please test my performance in front of me and dismiss me to satisfy my desire to abdicate and settle down. "
At that time, Zheng Qingzhi absurdly claimed the meritorious military service and fought in Hehe and Luohe. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed, supplies, food, weapons and armor were seized by the enemy, the border was turbulent, and both inside and outside the DPRK were very sleepy. Du Fan drew all the admonishers out to tell these things, saying that the system made the conspirators cheat the emperor. Anyone who commits corruption and violence against the people of the supervisory office and the county magistrate shall be sentenced to equality. Zheng Qingzhi was jealous of Du Fan and changed him to be too formal and too young. Du Fan said: "There is nothing worse than bribery. Famous people buy praises from people around them in order to consolidate their dominant position, while those who are not officials gradually bribe them just for promotion. The commanders and ministers in the frontier don't use gold to buy the enemy for our use, but to find out what the emperor means; Do not give preferential treatment and rewards to foot soldiers, but use them to make friends with powerful people. As a result, rewards and punishments were reversed and strictly ignored. People who have been demoted for crimes resist orders and do not carry them out. Those who abandoned the city and fled used ingenious methods to clear their names. Those who command officers and men to create disasters and plunder at will. Those in power are arrogant because of the situation. The imperial guards below are arrogant and difficult to control, and the prison forces form gangs to rob each other. I hope your majesty will not abandon the big principle because of small kindness, obstruct public law because of affair, strictly manage the harem, and forbid a word to enter the palace gate; Restrain eunuchs and prevent those who use slanderers to frame Zhongliang from succeeding. " Du Fan has repeatedly asked for the management of the palace temple since he became the Taiwan remonstrator. At this time, he asked to return to his hometown for farming five times, but the emperor refused.
Du Fansheng was promoted to secretary supervisor and secretary storyteller. Dayuanbing is preparing to occupy Jiangling. Du Fan demanded that troops be stationed in Qi and two states to prevent the Yuan army from spying on the Yangtze River, and ordered the generals and ministers along the Yangtze River to serve as ambassadors of Jiang and Huai to strengthen their own power. He also ordered Huai Shuai to immediately dispatch troops and allocate food to help Jiangling. Du Fan was appointed as an imperial envoy in the temple, but he refused, but was not allowed. When he told the emperor to read the Bible, he said, "I used to be your eyes and ears and often offended the Prime Minister, so I asked your Majesty to mediate and protect me gently. Now I've been appointed to the office that was attacked before. Is it desirable because I said I would stop being selfish? Because I am humble and cowardly and easy to adjust and protect, am I temporarily used to make up for it? Once upon a time, the host was either willing to listen to them or encouraged them, otherwise he would alienate them. I have never heard of anyone using him instead of taking his advice. Since the first year of Duanping personally handled the affairs of state affairs, Your Majesty called on upright people to revitalize Yushitai. Soon, there was the drawback of tortuous adjustment. Those who were impeached and attacked by Yushitai, or those who were restrained and failed to implement them, were despised and found opportunities for promotion and promotion. I have tried my best to say these words in my early days as an exhorter. This malady has not changed, but has become more and more serious. Even the festival posts are incomplete in arts and sciences, rewritten without the seal of Yushitai, and the Chinese books dare not explain clearly, and everyone who sees them is suspicious. I didn't expect this bad style to reach such a level on Holy Day. Your majesty thinks that his words can't be adopted, so he is promoted to the top, so the official position of remonstration has become a shortcut to promotion. Your majesty only knows that it is a virtue to praise and remonstrate with Taiwan, but I don't know that it is a bad policy to suppress honest words. Then your majesty has a reputation for loving external remonstrance and the fact that he refuses internal remonstrance. How can there be nothingness in the world to cover up reality? " Du Fan began to regard it as a pity to leave the court without saying what he wanted to say. At this time, he tried to say Taiwan Province's shortcomings of dereliction of duty.
At that time, Hunan and Sichuan were destroyed, Jiangling was in danger, Zhejiang was shaken, and people were worried. Du Fan also said: "Zheng Qingzhi provoked the border war without authorization, which almost endangered the country. His son recruited talents, took bribes, was insatiable, and stole the country's money and silk in exchange for foreign goods, and it was true. " Du Fan also said: "Li Mingfu, the Privy Council member who signed the book, and Shi and Peng Daya paid bribes to Zheng Qingzhi's son and tried their best to excuse him." Li Mingfu doesn't sympathize with the country where his parents live. How can he think of your country? "The emperor didn't deal with them immediately, because Zheng Qingzhi is a veteran of his own palace, and Li Mingfu has no great sin. Du Fan also didn't accept the position of an imperial envoy in the temple. When the emperor urged him to take office, Du Fan said, "If Li Mingfu doesn't leave, I will leave. How dare I attend the party? "When Du Fan was ready to comment on Li Mingfu again, Li Mingfu defended himself against Du Fan's performance. He said: "I don't know what I mean, because I once advocated peaceful negotiations. "Fortunately, I have not been dismissed, making the country stable and beneficial to the country. Life and death are decided by the peace talks; Otherwise, people will be homeless and can only wander around on boats in the five lakes. " Du Fan also tried to argue that Li Mingfu was shameless. Soon all the censorate officials impeached Li Mingfu, and too many students wrote letters to attack him. As soon as Li Mingfu went through the customs, the emperor sent envoys to recall him. Du Fan was in Taiwan to deal with all the admonishers: "Li Mingfu served as the slaughter, and only Shi and Peng Daya made friends. They conspired to bribe the favored people and deceive the emperor in order to secretly seek the position of prime minister. " Recently, I saw Li Mingfu's memorial to defend himself. I saw that he caused contradictions among the ministers of border affairs, absurdly threatened others to obey him by making peace, and wanted to go boating in the five lakes because the Shu area had been destroyed. He also takes it as his duty to stabilize the country and benefit the country. I wonder if Li Mingfu has served in the government for a long time? What stable and favorable strategy does he have now? In order to deceive the emperor, he did everything. If I am right, please fire him immediately; If it is wrong, please ask the emperor to stop cursing me as soon as possible. "Du Fan was appointed as a living lang. He said," I talked about Li Mingfu, but I didn't see the court treating him, so I was suddenly appointed as a left assistant. That's what I said, and I was treated well. I used to say that remonstrance is just a shortcut to promotion. At first, this was not conducive to the statute of the court. What I said to my face came true to my face, and I was guilty of a terrible crime. "He came back across the river. Du Fan was sentenced to Jiangdong Prison, and was soon changed to Zhexi Prison. Du Fan strongly refused, and Li Mingfu also went to Yuezhou as a guard.
In the second year of Jiaxi (1238), Du Fan was assigned as the magistrate of Ningguo Prefecture. The next year, he arrived at Ningguo House, just in time for the drought. Du Fan acted according to circumstances, distributed the grain he often collected, and advised the officials who lived here and the people who stored the grain to take it out so that the people could get peace. Du Fangang has just arrived in Ningguo Mansion, and many warehouses in the mansion are empty. Soon, hundreds of thousands of welcome rice and tens of thousands of money were stocked, and Du Fan used these money to replace households to receive food. Most of the hungry people crossing the Huaihe River are looting, and its leader, Zhang Shixian, is particularly brave, leading more than 3,000 people to Ningguo House. Du Fan sent someone to reward them and told them not to harass and wait for arrangements. Zhang Shixian secretly harbored the idea of attacking the city. Du Fan used his strategy to arrest and kill him, help his men and let them go back.
Jia four years, Du Fan returned to the court, he first said:
"Drought followed, people can't eat a grain. Paper money depreciates and prices soar. In the capital, the scene is depressed, Zuo Zhe is near the capital, and people are starving all over the road. There are refugees everywhere. I haven't heard of any political affairs to appease them They became rampant and began to show signs of fighting. This is the urgency of internal and external troubles. The newly-built northern army is good at fighting by winning opportunities, and many thieves in the Central Plains fight in this name. Dayuan soldiers defeated me in Bashu, occupied me in Jingxiang, disturbed me in Huaishang, and recently saw Ding and Li in Kuixia. Ministers in the frontier lied to the emperor at will. When they won, they publicized their contribution. When they failed, they covered up the truth and didn't report it to the court. If the enemy takes advantage of the undefended opportunity in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to realize the plan of drinking horses in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, who can resist it? This is a foreign invasion. It's already serious.
"People serve the world and rely on the people of the world. Recently, the astronomical phenomena have changed. Comets spit their tails, thunder in winter and snow after spring. Tides rushed into the capital, and the land without food caused by drought almost spread all over the area near the capital. This is not in line with providence, and the sky is already angry. People die of war and famine, father and son abandon each other, husband and wife can't protect each other, full of resentment, slander all over the court, when the idea of' waiting for death' germinates, what else can't be done? This is unpopular and the people hate it. Internal and external troubles follow, and the hearts and minds of the people are lost. Can your majesty live on top of the world with two or three ministers? Has your majesty ever thought about these reasons?
"Once upon a time, the prime minister in power expressed the same loyalty to your majesty as his little wife, secretly stole the power of the controller, used music and hobbies to confuse your majesty's thoughts and calculations internally, and abolished everything, life and death, only according to his mind, so that the country's statutes were destroyed, customs were decadent, the military and political affairs were not rectified, and the border defense readiness measures were destroyed and lacking. At present, all internal and external troubles are brewed by the prime minister who has been in power for 30 years, just like the treatment of carbuncle, which will break out at a certain time. During Duan Ping's reign, he claimed to be an innovator, but the Prime Minister was not an innovator and could not change the old evils, which corrupted and defiled the state affairs more seriously than before. From then on, your majesty was suspicious, and he didn't know who to rely on, thinking of virtue instead of being an enemy, thinking of merit instead of being a sinner. So the hope of heaven is less realized in your majesty, the variation of astronomical phenomena appears, the hope of people is less realized in your majesty, and resentment and rebellion are formed.
"Your majesty should have statutes, the demand for wine should be limited, and discipline should be recorded. With this in mind, it should not be difficult to revive the country from the danger of collapse. However, I heard on the road that your majesty's so-called vigilance and fear can only be seen when dealing with political affairs in foreign countries; And playful selfishness is often indulged when people close to you are invited to have a banquet in the palace. Nominally, it is a talent, and the minions around your majesty can use it; The decrees were issued in Chinese books, and your majesty's letters came from the palace. The temptation of heresy and the demands of relatives have blinded your majesty's intelligence and diverted his thoughts and calculations. "
At this time, Du Fan had left the imperial court for four years, and the emperor was very considerate of his comfort and comfort.
Du Fan was promoted to assistant minister and lecturer of official department. Because of the long-term drought, he added: "Your Majesty has been in the throne for more than 20 years, without a year of condemnation and disaster, and now it is more serious. What your majesty pursues is how to conform to God's will, is it just to reduce meals, remove music and pray for blessings from various temples? Besides, shouldn't you look for it in yourself? I don't reflect on myself, I don't repent, I just hope that the anger will dissipate. How can there be such a truth in the world? I hope that your majesty will thoroughly sweep away old habits to make the world new, release ladies-in-waiting to alienate women, repel the lucky ones to prevent being cheated, save unnecessary expenses to enrich the national finance, and reduce the levy to let the people rest. Besides, there is no crown prince, and the position of the crown prince is still empty. Please choose a virtuous person from the imperial clan to raise and teach in the palace. " Talking about the disadvantages of the Civil Service Law, he said: "The imperial court has already withdrawn from the imperial court, and it often takes the vacancy of the official department as a favor; When a scholar-bureaucrat took bribes, he was secretly corrected without resorting to investigation. These are all evils of greed and forgetting the country. " Soon, Du Fan again on hydrophobic said:
"Natural disasters and droughts have existed in the past. But the grain in the granary has been exhausted, and the monthly expenditure can't continue. One liter of rice 1000 yuan, and the price is still rising. The number of rich households is decreasing, and nine out of ten households are gone, which is unprecedented in the past. What's more, the whole family starved to death and threw themselves into the river. The common people get together to talk about mastering the political power, and the soldiers can't bear to listen to their complaints. What kind of scene is this, but it can be seen in a core area like Beijing. West Zhejiang is rich in rice, but there are thousands of miles of dry land. People in the Huaihe River Basin are displaced, and people carrying their children one after another on the road want to go home but have no place to live, and their breath is weak, waiting for death. If there is no war in the border areas, ordinary people can still live together. In case the enemy cavalry rushes in, these vagrants will definitely run south, and some may be forced to surrender to the enemy, so they will act as guides. Then the lessons of Bashu can be used for reference.
"Personally, I think your majesty is diligent in government affairs, worried about the future and destiny of the country, and has no leisure when he is stable. However, I didn't know that the banquet rewards in the palace were reduced, the concubines around me were released, the eunuchs and those close to your majesty were dismissed and alienated, the request to favor the princess through the palace was rejected and rejected, the government affairs of the court were rectified, and the accumulated disadvantages of the court were traced and changed. People in charge of state power handle politics according to their own affairs, while those in charge of handling various matters do not perform their duties according to the statute. The court's orders were changed early and later, and the statutes were destroyed. There are no shortcomings and no serious shortcomings. Why don't you shake your fears and reflect on yourself? "
The emperor wrote a letter: "Officials and people inside and outside the imperial court are considering the most urgent things now, such as how to pay the military salaries when the rivers are blocked?" When there is a drought in Zhejiang, how to implement the legal system of famine relief? Without finance, how can the country have enough money to buy grain? People are displaced, how can we stabilize these people? The enemy's situation is unpredictable, how to consolidate the border? Everyone must think hard and state strategies to control crisis and chaos. "
Du Fan was appointed assistant minister of official department and calligrapher of China. He also tried to talk about several things, such as unrestrained feasting and rewards, untimely palace building, militaristic tactics and indulgence of selfish desires. Du Fan is also a minister of the Ministry of War, and changed to a minister of rites and a Chinese book.
In the second year of Chun .. (1242), Du Fan was promoted to co-signatory of the Privy Council. After Du Fan entered Tang Dou, he mercilessly refuted any mistakes in state affairs and any improper appointment or dismissal of officials. On the surface, Shi Songzhi, the prime minister, was tolerant of Du Fan, but in his heart, he actually hated him. In spring, Du Fansheng became a member of the Privy Council. Because Li Ming was reinstated as a counselor politically, Du Fan looked down on him and refused to be in power with him, so he resigned from his office. The emperor sent messengers to call him back and ordered the city gate not to let Du Fan go. Too many students also wrote to retain Du Fan, reprimanded Li Mingfu and reprimanded Shi Songzhi. Shi Song invited Dr. Liu and others to discuss Du Fan, Li Mingfu and Du Fancai's appointment. Just in time for Shi Song's parents' funeral, he hoped that the court would use himself again before his mourning period expired, but it failed, so he appointed Du Fan as the right prime minister, and Du Fan gave this position to you. The emperor refused, and Du Fan reluctantly walked with the sick body to see the emperor. The emperor personally wrote "treat people with things, be honest and selfless, gather people's hearts, and adopt the opinions of various countries" as a reward.
Du Fan talked about five things: First, the basic measures to govern the country. He believes that political affairs should always be decided by China's books, and other people or departments should not be allowed to steal power. The second is the place where the serious queen concubines live. It is believed that the inside and outside of the palace should be strictly distinguished to integrate the palace with the government. The third is to choose talents and appoint people according to their abilities, and to appoint people on their merits for a long time, rather than just following the general principles of promotion and transfer of officials. Fourth, cherish Jue Lu's position and think that civil servants should not be used as places to sell human feelings for personal gain. Fifth, save money, and think that we should start with the emperor, empresses, people who hold important positions and are close to the emperor, check the national revenue and expenditure in the sealed pile library, plug the shortcomings and loopholes, seek changes in the household registration book and paper money of salt people, and consider the advantages and disadvantages. It is still required to establish a crown prince as soon as possible to maintain the people's hearts. "
At that time, most princes and nobles and consorts asked the emperor to increase his favor. Du Fan cited the example of Du Yan in the previous dynasty, but he didn't agree, and refused all the favor of the emperor. Du Fan requested that the vacant office be assigned to the official department, so as to eliminate the affairs of books in China, and only reserve the right to appoint the stacks, bookshelves, Beijing Education and important regional officials. People think this is inappropriate, and too many students have written about it. The emperor showed these objections to Du Fan. He said, "For 30 or 40 years, powerful ministers have been controlling state affairs, buying and selling their personal favors with state salaries, and getting rid of them with vacancies in official departments. Too many students are used to what they have seen and heard, and think that these years' harmful politics are the laws set by their ancestors. If I think I am right and stick to it from top to bottom, then there will definitely be many people who say good things and slander will stop. " Soon, none of the people who came to participate in the selection stayed, and all the qualified people got good positions, and everyone believed in him.
The emperor ordered Zai Feng to list the current ills and possible political affairs, and Du Fan played twelve things:
First, let the appointment and dismissal of officials be fair, and those who want to recruit and dismiss should refer to their own opinions, so that those who drill loopholes will have no loopholes to drill. The second is to reserve talents. The officials of the DPRK and China reserve candidates in the attendants and Taiwan remonstrance, and reserve attendants and Taiwan remonstrance candidates in the Qing court prison and Langguan. Outgoing chiefs and commanders are candidates for shogunate and commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief of the Yangtze River basin is the candidate. The same is true of other official positions, so that they are not afraid of lack of talents when needed. Third, seriously recommend talents. We want to tell officials inside and outside the DPRK by imperial edict that all recommended talents must state the real situation of their work, achievements and things, not just praise. If the court's records are inconsistent with what the recommender said, the recommender will be punished, and the attendants and Taiwan remonstrance will be ordered not to ask for recommendations from Jinshi. The fourth is to punish corruption and bribery. From now on, if someone reports a case of corruption and bribery, he will immediately send someone to investigate and verify it. If there is a stolen certificate, he should be punished according to the code of his ancestors. There is no factual basis, but the supervisor ridiculously uses corruption and bribery to frame people, and he will also be punished according to the situation. He will impeach someone for corruption and bribery according to rumors, and will also conduct investigation and verification. Fifth, the responsibility is single-minded. It is not appropriate for officials in the official department to concurrently serve as officials or give up. Mute should not be an official of the household department and the official department, and a full-time official must be set up at the banquet. Sixth, hold office for a long time. In the imperial court, officials in charge of complicated and important departments such as finance and taxation, prison litigation and civil service selection must be promoted or transferred after serving for three years. Local supervisors and county heads must also be re-elected, and those who are incompetent should be dismissed immediately. Seventh, suppress the fluky psychology and announce to the inside and outside of the court that everyone is committed to his own career, and the court will not be too kind because it has broken the precedent, and the court will not abolish the law because of private requests; Don't give titles to elders, ministers, princes and nobles who have made achievements. Eighth, it is prudent to hand over military power to military commanders. Nine is to prepare weapons, food and other military supplies. Ten is to recruit local strongmen. Eleven is to imitate the square field method of our ancestors, lead canals into canals, crisscross them, connect irrigation with each other, and build roads in the fields with dug soil. Two horses should not run side by side on the road, nor are they allowed to line up. Like Cao Wei's system of guarding Shaanxi, after the arrival of enemy cavalry, it was blocked everywhere, and it was much better to farm and station in trenches than on land. The twelfth is to manage border defense and finance, which is actually the most urgent thing at present. People who know how to manage border defense and are good at managing money should search and report to the court.
At that time, Meng Gong was heavily stationed in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River for a long time, and the court always suspected that he was difficult to control. At this time, Meng Gong also wrote to congratulate him. Du Fan wrote back and said: "The ancients thought that the general and the prime minister were in harmony, and the scholars were happy with it. From then on, we should only work together and die for our country. " Things like driving and controlling by bad means are not worth doing by Du Fan. "Meng Gong was very moved and admired. Soon, the Dayuan Army invaded the Five Rivers on a large scale, crossed the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, camped, contained Hefei with heavy troops, and ordered not to rescue, as a plan to capture Shouchun. Du Fan ordered two commanders, Weiyang and Ezhu, to transfer troops from the east and west respectively, and finally won. Du Fan rewarded according to the merit, and all the soldiers were happy.
Soon, Du Fan died, and he was made a minor Lord, and posthumous title was named a "Qing Sacrifice". His works include five volumes of classical metrical poems, six volumes of prose, ten volumes of sparse manuscripts, three volumes of foreign manuscripts, five volumes of stories involved and three volumes of speeches at banquets.
