Ding Baozhen, a heavy minister in the late Qing Dynasty, a famous Western-style reformer, not only resisted the invaders, but also made outstanding political achievements during his tenure, which was able to benefit the people and won a good popular heart. He has been an official for 33 years, honest and honest, and only seeks to serve the country and love the people all his life. After the death of the Guangxu Dynasty, the Guangxu Emperor posthumously conferred the crown prince Taibao, and let him be enshrined in the Xian Liang Temple, enjoying the highest honor of Hanchen.
So, when Ding Baozhen was the governor of Shandong, why did he dare to kill An Dehai, the eunuch next to the Empress Dowager Cixi? Today, let's uncover this piece of history.
In 1869, the 14-year-old Emperor Tongzhi was about to hold a big wedding. An Dehai is also the favored eunuch by the Empress Dowager Cixi's side, and he has been in the palace for too long, and he wants to go out of the palace to play, and there is also a very important purpose, to collect money in the place through the identity of Lafayette. Therefore, after repeated requests in front of Cixi, the Empress Dowager finally agreed to let him go out to the south to purchase the dragon robe for the emperor's wedding.
After leaving the palace, An Dehai was showing off his might, especially when passing through the territory of Dezhou, Shandong, he did not need to spend money to get off the boat to purchase things along the way, and he used the voucher of the local government to operate, as well as various other illegal acts, which had made the prefect of Dezhou unbearable and reported directly to the governor of Shandong.
After Ding Baozhen listed An Dehai's crimes, he directly took him down in Tai'an County, and later after Emperor Tongzhi personally issued an order, he directly corrected the law on the spot in Jinan. In fact, Emperor Tongzhi at that time also hated this eunuch very much, but he was the most favored eunuch around the queen mother, and he had nothing to do with him. At this time, it happened that Ding Baozhen, the official of the feudal territory, did this for himself, which made Emperor Tongzhi very happy.
1.The unanimous support of the people of Shandong and the United States.
On the way to inspect and procure materials in Hainan, he not only abused his power, but also killed innocent people indiscriminately, befriended ministers, and hinted at ministers for bribes. Therefore, both the people everywhere and ** hate him quite a lot.
At that time, in many provinces, including Shandong Province, due to the behavior of the eunuchs of Andehai, a huge social phenomenon had been caused, and it was believed that the phenomenon of eunuchs interfering in politics had appeared. Then, the majority of the people and ** all expressed their support for Ding Baozhen's killing of An Dehai.
2.The acquiescence of the Tongzhi Emperor.
An Dehai's actions in the palace have made Emperor Tongzhi particularly hateful, and he has long wanted to kill him, but unfortunately he has no chance. After all, although Tongzhi is the emperor, he was set aside by the queen mother of the east and west palaces, and basically has no strength. In addition, An Dehai is a celebrity next to the Queen Mother, so he doesn't dare to do it.
Therefore, when Ding Baozhen arrested An Dehai in Tai'an County, he directly asked the imperial court for instructions, and the music was folded into the hands of Emperor Tongzhi, so he did not ask the Empress Dowager Cixi for instructions directly. Therefore, when Ding Baozhen corrected An Dehai on the spot, it is estimated that Cixi only knew about this matter.
3.Punish **, avoid the dictatorship of eunuchs, and benefit the people.
First of all, the reason why Ding Baozhen dared to kill An Dehai was mainly to eliminate harm for the people, which shows that this has an advantage in political positions. At that time, the civil and military ministers in the court, Prince Gong, and Emperor Tongzhi all acquiesced, but they didn't dare to speak out because of Cixi's rights.
If Andehai is not removed, there may be endless troubles, and it may even bring about a situation of eunuch dictatorship. If you do it at that time, it will be more difficult. In the 300-year history of the Qing Dynasty, the phenomenon of eunuch dictatorship has not yet been, and there is only one eunuch who can reach the position of An Dehai, which shows that this contribution to the benefit of the people, Ding Baozhen is worthy of recognition.
4.The society has a sense of justice, and Ding Baozhen upholds social justice.
From the perspective of the public, Ding Baozhen himself is a clean and honest person, and treats An Dehai's behavior as a direct threat to social stability. Therefore, he dared to kill An Dehai in order to revitalize the country, after all, he is a moth in society.
Then, Ding Baozhen, as the governor of Shandong, and An Dehai has caused a huge negative impact in Shandong, which is to maintain social justice.
It can be seen that Ding Baozhen dared to kill An Dehai, mainly because the people in Shandong and even the whole country supported him. From the court to the people, they all agreed with Ding Baozhen's approach.
