Ding Baozhen was a famous courtier in the late Qing Dynasty, and an official to the governor of Sichuan. It has gone through the three dynasties of Xianfeng, Tongzhi and Guangxu. Ding Baozhen was very successful in his life, and he reformed the salt administration, straightened out the administration of officials, and repaired the capital Jiangyan, which won the hearts of the people.
However, there was one thing that others did not dare to do, but he did it, and that was that he had dealt with Cixi's confidant An Dehai. So why did Ding Baozhen dare to do this? There are three reasons for this.
1, Ding Baozhen Gangzheng
Ding Baozhen's integrity led to Ding Baozhen's hatred of lawless people very much, and it also became the main reason why he later brought Andehai to justice. When the Qing Dynasty was fighting against the Twist Army, Ding Baozhen wrote a letter to bluntly argue for the deputy general Wang Xin'an, and repeatedly wrote to expose Li Hongzhang.
When Ding Baozhen once asked to see the monk Greenqin, the monk Greenqin had an arrogant attitude and did not give Ding Baozhen a seat, but Ding Baozhen said that he would disappear without giving a seat, so the monk Greenqin admired his toughness and toughness, so he treated Ding Baozhen with courtesy.
Therefore, we see that Ding Baozhen is not afraid of power, does not cling to wealth, and does everything in accordance with the principle of reasonableness and legality, so Ding Baozhen's upright character determines that he and the lawbreakers are inseparable.
2. Anderhai violates the ancestral system
Andehai violated the ancestral system, resulting in the upright Ding Baozhen not letting Go of Andehai. What ancestral system did Anderhai violate, and why did he dare to violate the ancestral system? We all know that An Dehai was Cixi's confidant, and during the Xianfeng period, he won Cixi's trust.
After An Dehai gained Cixi's trust by observing his words and acting quickly, he began to interfere in the affairs of the court, and the mother-son relationship between Tongzhi and Cixi was divided, which caused the whole court to hate An Dehai, including Ding Baozhen.
But Andrew Hai did not think so, and even wantonly violated the ancestral system. The Qing Dynasty forbade eunuchs to interfere in politics, and during the Shunzhi period, it was also stipulated that eunuchs could not leave the imperial city without dispatch.
However, An Dehai was so spoiled and arrogant that he actually wanted to go out of the palace to play, so he asked Cixi to send him to Jiangnan to buy items for the marriage of Tongzhi. In this way, An Dehai was known as Chincha, but he did not bring official documents and went all the way to Jiangnan.
This allowed Ding Baozhen to seize the opportunity, so he decided to bring Andehai to justice. Since Andehai violated the ancestral system, Cixi was not good at forcibly interfering in this matter, and Ding Baozhen's handling of Andehai became very smooth.
3, Ding Baozhen in Shandong
There were so many officials in the Qing Dynasty, why did Ding Baozhen capture Andehai? Because Ding Baozhen happened to be the inspector of Shandong at this time, and Andehai was going to pass through Shandong under the jiangnan, Ding Baozhen just intercepted Andehai halfway.
After An Dehai arrived in Texas, Zhao Xin of Texas Zhizhou felt that things were strange, since it was Chincha, why didn't he receive the official document issued by the Military Aircraft Department?
So Zhao Xin reported the matter to Ding Baozhen, so Ding Baozhen secretly appealed to the imperial court and denounced Andehai's illegal behavior. When An Dehai was in Tai'an County, he was captured by He Yufu of ZhiXian county and escorted to Jinan, where Ding Baozhen personally interrogated him.
Soon, Ding Baozhen received a secret edict from the Military Aircraft Department, demanding that Andehai be strictly dealt with, so Ding Baozhen quickly put An Dehai in Jinan to correct the law. Therefore, Ding Baozhen's appointment in Shandong has facilitated the legal handling of Andehai.
Ding Baozhen was a righteous man and deeply resented lawbreakers, while An Dehai relied on Cixi's trust to be a blessing in disguise, so the two formed a set of contradictions.
Ding Baozhen is an official who has the right to deal with lawbreakers, and An Dehai acted arbitrarily and was caught by Ding Baozhen, so Ding Baozhen was not polite.
Therefore, we know from this incident that no matter how much a person is trusted by his superiors, he cannot break the law, and this is not illegal capital. Ding Baozhen's personality and the timing he was in decided that he would bring Andehai to justice.
