Was the famous Bao Qingtian really poisoned?

It is difficult to guess that the work of Bao Zheng is a high-risk occupation, and it is inevitable to seek revenge with the enemy, but the possibility of natural death is also relatively high.

It is possible that the situation of Bao Zheng at the time of his death in Kaifeng was recorded in the epitaph: "Jiayou has not been in May of the seventh year, and he has not seen things and returned from illness." The envoy sent a good medicine, Xin Wei, so he didn't hear it.

From the above records, it can be seen that Bao Zheng only had 13 days from the onset of his illness to his death, and during this time he also took the "good medicine sent by the envoys".

It is very likely that he was poisoned, because according to the historical records of the time, after he fell ill, someone gave him good medicine, and he did not get better after eating it, but passed away within a few days, perhaps because his integrity hindered the interests of some people.

Master Bao should have died of a normal illness, he was sixty-three years old when he died, and it is unlikely that he was poisoned.

Yes. Formerly known as Bao Zheng, he was born in 999 and died at the age of 63.

In May of the seventh year of Jiayou (1062), Bao Zheng suddenly fell ill while in the Privy Council, and died of illness a few days later at the age of 64. He was given a book from the Ministry of Gifts, and his nickname was Xiaosu.

In the fifth year of Tiansheng (1027), Bao Zheng ascended to Jinshidi. Tired of supervising the imperial history, he once suggested training troops to select generals and enrich border reserves. He has successively served as the judge of the household department of the three divisions, and the transfer envoy of Jingdong, Shaanxi and Hebei roads.

He entered the court as the deputy envoy of the three divisions and asked the imperial court to allow the trade of salt. Changed the knowledge of the Yuan, and repeatedly discussed the impeachment of the powerful.

Awarded the Longtu Pavilion direct bachelor, Hebei capital transfer envoy, moved to Ying, Yang Zhuzhou, and then called into the court, the right to know Kaifeng Mansion, the right to Yu Shi Zhongcheng, the three envoys and so on. In the sixth year of Jiayou (1061), he served as the deputy privy councillor. Because he once served as a direct bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion and Longtu Pavilion, he was known as "Bao to be made" and "Bao Longtu".

Bao Hail pants died violently, but there are also rumors that he was poisoned, but there is no specific evidence, and the specific explanation is as follows:

According to historical data, it can be seen that Bao Zheng was only 63 years old when he died, and his body has always been relatively healthy, and there is no record of serious illness. And the process of his death is also quite suspicious.

In the seventh year of Jiayou, when Bao Zheng was dealing with official business, he suddenly fell ill, and after being rescued by everyone, Bao Zheng was sent back to his house to recuperate. When the emperor found out, he sent a eunuch to deliver medicine to him, but he died within a few days, and it took only 13 days in total from the onset of the disease to his death, which was a complete violent death.

Therefore, some people say that Bao Zheng was killed by someone, some people say that Bao Zheng's political enemies are harming him, and some people say that the emperor is unhappy with him and has problems with the medicine given to him, but they are all speculations, and there is no evidence for the sedan car book.

Persona. Bao Zheng is a very filial person, he was admitted in 1027 to serve as an official, but considering the old age of his parents, he resigned from the official position in front of his parents, a few years later the second elder died, Bao Zheng guarded the tomb at the end of the mourning period and could not bear to leave, the number of people in the township to persuade, until 1039 he returned to officialdom, as the county official of Yangzhou Tianchang County.

At this time, Bao Zheng was already a 39-year-old middle-aged man, and it can be said that he was the most energetic and most likely to make a difference in the ten years, and he dedicated himself to his parents, which was rare at that time.

Secondly, he dared to admonish, not afraid of the powerful, the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty adopted a preferential policy, which not only led to the problem of redundant officials, but also bred a large number of corruption.

Bao Zheng's belief in posterity also has a lot to do with his ability to speak for the people, and in the process of becoming an official, he has always practiced the people-oriented Confucian concept.
