Bao Zheng, the selfless, fair and honest "Bao Qingtian" of the Northern Song Dynasty, he judged the case like a god, clear as water, bright as the moon, and held up a blue sky for the people. But did you know that he used more than twenty coffins for burial, which sounds even more magical than his crescent forehead?
Bao Zheng is not an ordinary upright. It is said that when he was supervising the imperial history, he sent 187 copies to the emperor in one go, all of which were corrupt officials and corrupt officials. It is conceivable that he has offended many people.
In the seventh year of Jiayou, this Qingtian lord drove the crane west. In recognition of his merits, Song Renzong posthumously awarded him the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to the current minister of state. However, Bao Zheng's funeral was full of drama.
It is said that on the day of Bao Zheng's funeral, more than 20 coffins were carried out from the seven city gates of Hefei at the same time! Of these, only one bite is true. Why did Bao Zheng's family do this? It turned out that Bao Zheng offended too many people during his lifetime, and this was done to prevent the enemy from digging graves and breaking bones and scattering ashes.
In order to hide people's eyes, Bao Zheng's family also spread some rumors, such as fake cemeteries, coffin curses and the like. It can be seen that Bao Zheng's family has put a lot of effort into protecting his grave.
However, during the Southern Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng's cemetery was still destroyed by the Jin army. It was not until 1985 that the tomb of Bao Zheng was rebuilt.
