The death of a character
Ding Baozhen has been a governor in Shandong for nearly 10 years, and he is honest and upright for the officials. In particular, the fact that he had the right to kill An Dehai by intelligence shocked the ruling and opposition parties, and is still widely praised by the old Jinan people. Although its narrative in the draft of Qing Dynasty is only 140 words, the story has been interpreted in several versions in unofficial history and novels such as Romance of Qing History and Emperor Tongzhi. The most wonderful thing is "taking orders at the front door and beheading at the back door".
The whole story.
An Dehai, a native of Qingxian County, Zhili Province, entered the palace at the age of/kloc-0, and served as a eunuch in the imperial palace. Because of his wit and decent speech, he won the favor of Empress Dowager Cixi and became a popular celebrity around Empress Dowager Cixi. After that, An Dehai was arrogant and domineering. Although he is only a six-product blue-ling eunuch, he doesn't even care about the little emperor Zai Chun, Prince Gong Yi _ and other DPRK ministers. An Dehai also often gossiped and provoked the mother-child relationship between Tongzhi and Empress Dowager Cixi, which made the little emperor often reprimanded by Empress Dowager Cixi. He overstepped the emperor's authority and acted beyond his authority, which has reached the point where the Tongzhi emperor can't stand it.
On August 2nd, An Dehai was captured by He Yufu, a magistrate of taian county, and then Chen Yuxiang and his party were personally taken to Jin 'an for trial by Ding Baozhen. On August 6th, Ding Baozhen received a secret report from the military department, which said, "The eunuch ran away from home without permission and committed various illegal acts. If you don't punish him severely, why take the Forbidden Palace as an example? Ding Baozhen quickly sent a commission agent to check the eunuch named Liu Bianlan Ling 'an for him, and let his entourage and others testify that it was true and was executed on the spot without trial. No quibbling is allowed. If the eunuch heard the news, he turned back to the direct realm, that is, Zeng Guofan was a genus and strictly followed the Dharma. If there is negligence, the governor only asks about those who are closely related to bandits, such as their followers, and tries to severely punish them separately without asking. " On August 7th, Ding Baozhen personally executed An Dehai on the spot in Jinan, only five days after An Dehai was arrested.
