The year before the murder of An Dehai, that is, in the seventh year of Tongzhi (1868), Ding Baozhen was commended by Tongzhi for helping the Twister army to aid Gyeonggi, and was a red man in front of the young emperor.
An Dehai, on the other hand, had always been a red man in front of Empress Dowager Cixi, and during the Coup d'état of Xin You, he served as a liaison between empress dowager and Prince Gong Yixuan, and by virtue of this great feat, he was promoted to the position of grand eunuch.
An Dehai bet the treasure on Empress Dowager Cixi, and after saddle up, he spared no effort, and soon, he offered advice and advice, and cooperated with Cixi Bing to remove Yi Zhi from the post of king of the Government without bloodshed, which annoyed Yi Xun and vowed to get rid of "this slave".
After knowing Yi Chen's thoughts, An Dehai began to feel a little afraid, after all, people were masters and they were slaves, but with Cixi's special favor, they quickly threw this sense of awe out of the cloud of nine clouds.
Offending Yi Chen was enough, Andehai later offended the young emperor Tongzhi, and even the relationship between the mother and son dared to provoke, Andehai can not be said to be bold. It is said that the Tongzhi Emperor hated Andehai, and he pinched a small clay man himself, engraved the name of Andehai on his back, and when he had nothing to do, he angrily poked the clay man with a knife, poking and scolding at the same time.
At this point, Andehai did not relent, continued to be a high-profile person, did things in a high profile, beat gongs and drums and married into a room of famous Dan, and the big news of "eunuchs marrying wives" spread throughout the streets and alleys of Beijing overnight.
On the far left is The Ander sea.
In 1869, the palace was preparing for the marriage ceremony of Tongzhi, and An Dehai also wanted to take the opportunity to go out of the palace to take advantage of the opportunity to collect money, so he asked Cixi to take on the task of purchasing the emperor's dragon robe and personally went down to Jiangnan, Cixi did not think much about it, and agreed.
An Dehai could have committed a great taboo at this time, Shunzhi once issued an edict to prevent eunuchs from interfering in politics, the first is to strictly prohibit eunuchs from leaving Beijing, it is fine to go out of Beijing by order, but An Dehai believes that he has cixi's permission, but he forgot to issue and carry official certificates, the so-called Qin sent out of Beijing, there must be a "Ming Descending Decree", so that the local government can do a good job in reception work, and the soldiers under them must also rely on "passing cards to survey and cooperate" so that the localities can do a good job in supply work.
Maybe Andehai also knows the rules, but the long-term pampering and pampering has made him very fluttery, he Andehai is used to being in the Beijing Division, who dares to check his documents is not?
As the inspector of Shandong, how could Ding Baozhen know that An Dehai's men did not have documents?
It is said that after Andehai was ambushed, Zhao Liewen, an aide to Zeng Guofan, who was then serving as the governor of Zhili, recorded in his diary, "When Wen Ding fu entered the court, he was once given the will of the Dao, so he did not play the edict and then beheaded to capture it, and when An Zhi came out, there were actually people who asked for it." ”
That is to say, Ding Baozhen had entered Beijing before the incident, and had received instructions from a higher level, whether it was Tongzhi or Yixuan, Zhao Liewen did not make a guess, according to normal circumstances, the latter is more likely, the aura of the king of the parliament is gone, but Yixun also serves as the foreman of the military aircraft and the foreman prime minister Yamen minister, belonging to the center of power, and the local officials are still under his direct jurisdiction.
Continue to speculate deeply, Ande Hai may not have considered handling the certificate before the trip, but it must have been yi chen, and even traced back to the source, and the matter of Ande hai's departure from Beijing may also be Yi Chen's search for someone to throw.
As soon as he entered Dezhou in Shandong, Ding Baozhen set his sights on Andehai, and later ordered the people in Tai'an to capture Andehai and take them to Jinan Province.
Ding Baozhen proposed five major crimes for Anderhai:
Needless to say, eunuchs cannot leave Beijing;
2. There is no explicit decree;
3. There is no passing survey;
4. The vessel on which the vessel is carried has a dragon and phoenix flag, which is for the exclusive use of the royal family;
Fifth, carrying actresses, not a system.
"The eunuch went away without permission, and there were all kinds of illegal things, and if he did not punish them severely, why did he follow the example by forbidding the palace?" Ding Baozhen quickly dispatched a commissioner to the local area where he belonged, and the eunuch surnamed Liupin Lan Ling'an was strictly investigated, so that the retinue and other witnesses pointed out that the evidence was true, and that they could correct the law on the spot without interrogation, and were not allowed to let them be cunning. If the eunuch heard the wind and turned back to the straight realm, that is, Zeng Guofan was one and strictly took the Fa. If there is any negligence, but the overseer is to ask, and his followers and other traces of bandits, and severely punish them separately, there is no need to do any more requests. ”
What is said in the secret edict is very clear, you Ding Baozhen can do it, it doesn't matter if you can't do it, when the eunuch surnamed An arrives in the territory directly under the jurisdiction, zeng Guofan can handle him, then this credit will not be yours.
In itself, Ding Baozhen was also a jealous and hateful Qing official, known for daring to take responsibility, and the secret edict sent by Prince Gong's military aircraft department could ensure that he did not need to take responsibility, so what were he waiting for?
Andehai could no longer be proud and delicate, and the next day, he was verified to be righteous and corrected the Fa on the spot.
Some people will say, wasn't Empress Dowager Cixi in power at that time? Didn't Ding Baozhen conspire with the tiger and become a thorn in Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes, and didn't she want to live?
First of all, this Andehai is too angry, hearing that this guy is dead, bureaucrats across the country hate to send congratulatory messages one after another, Cixi also looked in the eyes, which can only say that An Dehai has offended too many people, since people are already dead, Cixi will also judge the hour and size up the situation, and will not be angry.
Second, Cixi was not yet able to claim that power was tilted toward the opposition, and although Empress Dowager Ci'an did not love to manage affairs, after all, she was listening to the government of the two palaces, and nominally, Ci'an was the legitimate empress dowager, and Ci'an also supported the matter of Ande Haifufa, and Cixi could not refute it on the surface.
Third, of course, then we have to blame An Dehai for being too careless, not doing a good job of formalities, hot-headed, digging a pit and daring to jump, showing off their martial prowess in the palace, and really thinking that the courtiers dare to be angry and dare not speak, dare to speak in vain, he really did not dare to think that he could be executed, and he died "justly", Ding Baozhen executed no problem!
Fourth, Cixi knew that Yi Chen was involved in this matter, and at this time, Yi Chen was still in the center of power, and Cixi did not replace his ideas.
In the end, Ding Baozhen was indeed completely sincere, and when he was an official, he was frank and frank, he was conscientious and brave in his duties, and he was selfish, and his sleeves were clean and charitable, and after his death, he did not even set aside the money for handling the funeral, and Cixi also looked at it in his eyes and was grateful in his heart.
