At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 559: The Case of the Beheading of a Beauty

Sun was touching her belly. The surviving members of the Bao family had already sent someone to invite Sun back. The person who came was Dong, Bao Zheng's second wife.

Naturally, Sun went back with Dong obediently. The lady had come to invite her personally and had spoken to her in a nice tone, so how could she argue?

During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty: Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty and his ministers looked at each other in surprise. They did not expect that Bao Zheng would have a son in his old age. They had just felt sad for Bao Zheng, thinking that he was so pitiful for being childless.

Now, I suddenly feel that he is not so pitiful.

But I am also happy for Bao Zheng. Fortunately, he had a son in his later years. Otherwise, he would not know how to face his ancestors and there would be no one to worship him after his death.

Of course, this is just what they think, but how could there be no one to worship Bao Gong? He is so famous and great in the hearts of the people.

Many people worship him.

"Bao, Bao will not be ashamed to face my ancestors even after I die." Since his grandson's death, Bao Zheng felt guilty towards his ancestors and guilty towards his son for not raising his grandson well. In short, he felt very uncomfortable.

Bao Zheng's voice was choked with sobs, and it was obvious that he was both happy and sad.

He is old and won't live long, but his son is still young, which makes him particularly worried.

"Mr. Bao, this is a happy thing. You can relax. Your son has lived up to your expectations. Your daughter-in-law has taken very good care of him. He is a good official who is as honest and upright as you." Li Wu saw all this from the barrage. Many people knew about Mr. Bao's son Bao Shou. Before, they only knew that he was a good official. Now they know that he is Mr. Bao's biological son. That's different. They like Bao Shou even more.

Mr. Bao’s biological son must love the people as much as Mr. Bao does, and be able to make decisions for ordinary people like them.

Many people went to Bao Shou to kowtow and express their gratitude. Bao Shou was extremely panicked. His father was his father, and he was him, and they could not be confused.

However, seeing that so many people were grateful to his father, Bao Shou was also proud of his father.

Bao Shou was happy to see so many dramas and stories about his father on the barrage, because this is his father.

"That's good, that's good," Bao Zheng wiped his tears and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Hey, Mr. Bao, please don't say that. It's human nature, there's no point in laughing at it," Di Renjie shook his head. This was a happy thing, and they were happy for Mr. Bao.

"Mr. Di is right. Mr. Bao, Mr. Di, little immortal, please," Song Ci said, raising his glass, and the other three also raised their glasses and drank.

They stopped and chatted for a while before Li Wu said, "Now let me continue to talk about Mr. Bao's deeds.

In 1059 AD, Zhang Fangping, then the Third Commissioner, was impeached by you, Mr. Bao, for buying the property of a local tyrant.

In the end, he was dismissed from office and replaced by Song Qi. However, you, Mr. Bao, continued to impeach Song Qi, and Song Qi was also dismissed.

So, Mr. Bao, you will temporarily take over this position.

I have to say, Lord Bao, you are very good at impeachment. Others were either dismissed from office or demoted.

The position of the Three Officials fell to you, Lord Bao, so you hid at home to escape. You did not want to take up this position, but Song Renzong did not care. It was you, Lord Bao, who impeached two people in a row. Others were afraid that they would also be impeached by you if they became the Three Officials, so they did not want to take the position. This position could not remain vacant forever.

Mr. Bao, you have no choice but to take office with your nose held high."

Li Wu couldn't help laughing. Was this considered shooting himself in the foot?

The people in front of the skylight burst into laughter. Mr. Bao was already busy enough, and now he had been given another position. He was so busy that he could almost take off.

Song Qi and Zhang Fangping, who were impeached, did not want to talk. They were targeted by Mr. Bao, and it was really miserable.

Bao Zheng pursed his lips. This thing had not happened yet, so he didn't know what was going on, but he was not afraid.

"In 1062, when you were serving in the Privy Council, you suddenly fell ill. The disease was so severe that you died just two months later at the age of 64.

Song Renzong went to express his condolences to Mr. Bao in person, and stopped court for one day for you. He posthumously awarded you the title of Minister of Rites and the posthumous name of Xiaosu.

"That's all I have to say about your deeds, Lord Bao," said Li Wu. Lord Bao impeached others all his life. He watched what mistakes others made every day and tried to find the small flaws of his colleagues to impeach them. It was funny to think about it.

However, Bao Zheng's colleagues said that it was not funny at all. They could not laugh at all because they would be impeached by Bao Zheng if they were not careful.

"Thank you, little immortal. Please, Lord Di Gong Song," Bao Zheng raised his glass and nodded to the few people, and they drank again.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

"Now let me tell you about the widely circulated story about you, Mr. Bao. This is not true. It was fabricated by later generations. It is very famous.

It's called The Case of the Chopping of a Beauty. Sir Song, you should have seen this play, right?" Li Wu asked. Song Ci nodded. He had seen it more than once.

Many ancestors in front of the sky curtain heard a familiar drama. They knew it too well. That damn unfaithful man Chen Shimei was so ungrateful that he was surely beaten on the pillar of shame.

"It is said that there was a woman named Qin Xianglian who married a scholar named Chen Shimei.

After Chen Shimei went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, there was no news from him again, as if he had disappeared.

Qin Xianglian served her parents-in-law at home. The family was extremely poor and her parents-in-law starved to death. Qin Xianglian, who was left with nowhere else to go, decided to look for Chen Shimei.

She felt that Chen Shimei should not be dead yet, but if he was not dead, why didn't he come home?

In this way, Qin Xianglian brought her two children to Beijing to find her husband.

After arriving in the unfamiliar capital city, he learned from others that Chen Shimei had passed the imperial examination and was recruited as a royal consort. With a beautiful wife and concubines in his arms, he had no time to think about his parents, wife and children at home.

Qin Xianglian came to Chen Shimei's house, but Chen Shimei didn't recognize her at all and drove her away.

They even wanted to kill Qin Xianglian and her two children. Qin Xianglian had no choice but to sue Chen Shimei against them.

It just so happened that this matter was handled by you, Mr. Bao. You were not afraid of power and were full of justice. In the end, you angrily executed the ungrateful Chen Shimei.

Although this story is fictional, it has become very popular. Now the name Chen Shimei is a synonym for a heartless man.

Although it is fake, it also reflects from the side how the people think of you, Lord Bao." Don't talk about the things I watched in the drama before. I thought Qin Xianglian was too pitiful and Chen Shimei deserved to die. I thought this was true. I didn't expect it to be a story circulated among the people and it was fake.
