The Ming government was honest and honest in judging the strange case, and just did not behead the emperor's relatives. If there is no justice in the world, one word for another can distinguish between right and wrong.
In Chinese history, there are not a few Qing officials and Ming officials who have been judged to be in the gods, such as Di Renjie, Song Ci, and so on, who are familiar to people, but if people are most impressed, it is still the black-faced Bao Gong - Bao Zheng.
Speaking of Bao Zheng's big name, people today can be said to be known to everyone, especially after the birth of the "Bao Gong Drama", Bao Zheng has become a generation of "gods" in the hearts of the people, a synonym for justice, and a flaunt of clean officials and ming officials.
In his lifetime, Bao Zheng decided countless cases, and no one in the world knew his prestige, even above the court, officials of all sizes respected him.
When Bao Zheng died of illness, he alarmed the government and the public, and when he came out of the funeral, 21 coffins were carried out of the city gate at the same time. For his sake, even the tomb robbery industry has one more rule.
01 Honest and Honest "Bao Long Tu"
If you want to ask the case that Bao Zheng tried the most "outstanding", most people's first reaction must be "The Case of Zhenmei".
This case reflects Bao Zheng's impartiality and rigor, and truly achieves the concept of "the son of heaven breaking the law and committing the same crime as the common people".
The outcome of the trial of the case can be described as a great pleasure, and people's worship of Bao Zheng has been sublimated again.
But only some people know that "The Case of Beauty" is not actually a real case.
This is just the plot needs fabricated in the "Bao Gong Drama" in order to reflect Bao Zheng's work, but this also reflects people's admiration for Bao Zheng.
In addition, many of the cases that we are familiar with are actually fabricated.
Even so, Bao Zheng's life has been interrupted by countless cases, and he himself is indeed a good official who is upright, upright, and honest.
In that era of heavy literature and light martial arts, "thousands of miles for officials only for wealth", Bao Zheng was definitely a clear stream among the hundred officials of the Song Dynasty, and even qing was that he did not care much about official positions at all.
In fact, bao Zheng had already passed the jinshi examination as early as the age of 28, and he could have entered the DPRK as an official.
However, his parents were too old to let Bao Zheng leave home too far to take up his post, so Bao Zheng simply gave up his official position and went home to take care of his elderly parents in order to fulfill his filial piety.
In the following years, Bao Zheng's parents passed away one after another, but he was still entangled in his heart, and he still did not want to enter the DPRK as an official, but only wanted to accompany his parents in front of their graves.
Later, under the persuasion of the villagers, Bao Zheng regrouped and embarked on the road of career.
For the sake of the official side, Bao Zheng is honest and honest, and does everything himself.
In his heart, there is only right and wrong, and even after he is in a high position of power, some relatives use his reputation to do something wrong, and he also resolutely destroys his relatives and does not allow anyone to violate the law and discipline.
It was precisely his formal style that enabled him to gain the love of the people, but Bao Zheng's uprightness was a great good thing for the people, but for those corrupt officials who were officials in the same dynasty and lacked items and used power for personal gain, Bao Zheng greatly affected their interests.
Therefore, Bao Zheng also "inadvertently" offended many people, regardless of Bao Zheng's always clean and self-righteous, self-discipline, so he has never been found by those who have the intention to harm him.
02 21 Buckle coffin out of town at the same time
In the seventh year of Jiayou, Bao Zheng suddenly fell ill with a strange disease, and his condition was extremely serious.
Although the emperor, after learning of his illness, sent an imperial doctor to diagnose his illness and collected good medicines to give to him, his condition still did not improve, and he died in just over ten days.
There are many opinions about the cause of Bao Zheng's death, and many people believe that someone deliberately poisoned and murdered this Qingtian Grand Master, but after being confirmed by later generations, this possibility is extremely unlikely.
The cause of Bao Zheng's death is not discussed here, but when he came out of the funeral, an unexpected thing happened.
On the day of Bao Zheng's funeral, the people of the whole city spontaneously came to see him off.
The streets were full of people, and just as everyone was preparing to follow Bao Zheng's funeral procession, they found that 21 coffins had been carried out of the guarantee letter's house one after another.
Not only that, but the coffins took different routes, and the three of them divided into groups, drove out of the seven city gates, and after birth, each went in a different direction.
This made the people who came to send them off confused, because no one knew which coffin was stored in Bao Zheng's "real body", nor did they understand why this Qingtian Grand Master chose this way of funeral.
In fact, Bao Zheng's move can be described as a big article, showing his great wisdom.
First of all, it was precisely in order to prevent himself from causing disturbances among the people in the city when he came out of the funeral, so he "made it suspicious" so that the people could not distinguish between true and false.
Since he didn't know how to go with the line, he had to stay in the city and not go anywhere.
Secondly, in order to avenge the injustice of the people of the world, Bao Zheng inadvertently offended many powerful people.
Bao Zheng was naturally not afraid of them before he died, nor was he ashamed of them, but after his death, it was inevitable that the young people would plague his graveyard and even disturb the tranquility of his family's house, so he let the 21 coffins go to different places, so that those who had the intention of "harming him" could not find the direction.
03 Bao Gong who cares about the people
It is worth mentioning that Bao Zheng, who has been honest and honest all his life, still refuses to engage in extravagant and wasteful behavior even after his death.
Except for the coffin that actually stored Bao Zheng's body, the remaining 20 "doubtful coffins" were distributed to the people in need of coffins after Bao Zheng was buried.
In those days, a custom coffin was expensive, let alone a bag.
Although it is not worth a lot, it is also an expensive thing for ordinary people.
What's more, people do not reject coffins, and even under the influence of the meaning of "promotion and wealth", there are many literati who prefer to spend money and customize a coffin for themselves to lie down "in advance".
Bao Zheng's move once again touched many people, and also made his reputation for loving the people once again climb to a higher level.
No matter before or after his death, Bao Zheng's words and deeds are worthy of the word "incorruptibility", which is why he has been able to become a "god" in the hearts of the people after countless years.
After Bao Zheng's death, in order to thank him for his contributions to the people, the tomb robbery industry has since established a rule, that is, no matter the tomb robbery sects and gangs, when they see Bao Zheng's tomb in this life, they must avoid it and must not damage half a point.
