上卒免漢臣罪。 The emperor finally spared Hanchen.

明珠、國柱愈恚，摘其語上聞，並摭斌在蘇時文告語，曰「愛民有心，救民無術」，以為謗訕，傳旨詰問。 Mingzhu and Guozhu were enraged, reported Bin's words to the throne, and dredged up a phrase from his Suzhou proclamations—"he loves the people in heart but lacks the means to save them"—as slander. An edict ordered him questioned.

詹事尹泰等劾介僥倖求去，且及斌妄薦，議奪斌官，上獨留斌任。 Household Tutor Yin Tai and others accused Geng Jie of using illness as a pretext to quit and charged Bin with a reckless appointment. The court proposed stripping Bin of office, but the emperor kept him in post.

國柱宣言上將隸斌旗籍，斌適扶病入朝，道路相傳，聞者皆泣下。 Guozhu spread word that the emperor would reduce Bin to banner status. Bin came to court leaning on attendants, ill; the rumor spread through the streets and those who heard it wept.

斌既卒，上嘗語廷臣曰：「朕遇湯斌不薄，而怨訕不休，何也？」 After Bin's death the emperor once asked his ministers, "I treated Tang Bin well enough. Why did the grumbling never stop?"

明珠、國柱輩嫉斌甚，微上厚斌，斌禍且不測。 Mingzhu, Guozhu, and their allies hated him fiercely. Had the emperor not favored him a little, Bin's ruin would have been certain.
