01
The disloyal Bao Qingtian
Speaking of Bao Zheng, people will know that this is a peerless official in ancient times. People think this because the character Bao Zheng is well packaged in the TV series. In the TV series, Bao Zheng considers the people wholeheartedly, is good at judging unjust, false and wrong cases, and is good at complaining to good people. But in history, was Bao Zheng really an upright official?
Bao Zheng is affectionately called Bao Qingtian. I believe he must be a good official in the Northern Song Dynasty. However, based on the actual situation in the Northern Song Dynasty, many people have different opinions on whether Bao Zheng is clean. As an official, if you want to serve the people wholeheartedly, it is good to be honest and honest, but can anyone really get out of the quagmire without being stained?

Bao Zheng’s mausoleum appeared
It is said that Bao Zheng died seven years after Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty. After Bao Zheng's death, the emperor appointed Bao Zheng as Minister of Rites. He was then buried in Bao Xiaosu Cemetery in the eastern suburbs of Hefei City, which is Bao Zheng's cemetery. The entire cemetery covers an area of ??nearly 1,000 square meters. In the 1970s, Bao Gong's cemetery was moved once because Hefei wanted to build a second steel plant.
Before moving, Bao Zheng’s tomb needs to be fully excavated. Because time was too short, the rescue team chose to excavate from both ends of the mausoleum first. Unexpectedly, the coffin and epitaph were soon dug up. The epitaph excavated first obviously showed signs of destruction, but it was obviously the epitaph of Bao Zheng and his wife.
The expert group thought that this was the overall situation of Bao Cemetery, but the owner of the tomb said that this was not the whole picture of Bao Cemetery, and that the real tomb was further forward. So the experts continued to dig and finally unearthed all the coffins of Bao Zheng and his family. An epitaph with 3,000 words was also unearthed from Bao Zheng's tomb.

Bao Zheng’s incorruptible tomb robbers are convinced of this
Obviously, Bao Zheng’s tomb has been taken care of by the tomb robbers. When experts were cleaning up, they found eight small characters in one place of the tomb, which were left by tomb robbers at that time. It says: Mr. Bao is clean and honest, and we admire him. It can be seen that when the tomb robbers searched Bao Zheng's tomb, they were shocked by the decoration of Bao Zheng's tomb, and Bao Gong was as honest as the world said. Because Bao Zheng was honest before his death, he offended many people, so many people are waiting for Bao Zheng to be punished after his death. However, on the day of Bao Zheng's funeral, more than 30 coffins were put into the mausoleum, so it was impossible to determine which one was Bao Zheng's coffin.
When Bao Zheng was an official, he warned his descendants that if they wanted to enter Jiabao's tomb after death, they must be honest and not commit crimes. It can be seen that the image of Bao Zheng in the TV series is a fact, and the screenwriter did refer to the real characters in the history books when writing the story.
Conclusion:
In our lives, we should be honest in life, not be fooled by worldly temptations, and remain ourselves, just like Bao Zheng.
