Anecdotal allusions

When Bao Zheng was sent to the Liao Dynasty, the companion of the Liao Dynasty Life Museum said to Bao Zheng, "You recently opened a private door in Xiongzhou (now Xiongxian County, Baoding City, Hebei Province) to lure Chinese traitors, with the purpose of spying on frontier intelligence, right?" Bao Zheng said, "Your Zhuozhou City once opened a private door. Why do you have to open a private door to spy on the frontier? " Men are speechless.

Bao Zheng was promoted to Cheng and Zhiduan Prefecture of Dali Temple (equivalent to Zhaoqing City in Guangdong today). At that time, Duanzhou's special product, Duanyan, was the most precious and fashionable elegant utensil in the Song Dynasty, and local people paid tribute to the imperial court every year. All the officials who are the "top leaders" here collect dozens of times the amount stipulated in the "tribute inkstone" to bribe the court dignitaries. The so-called "management" of the relationship between the central authorities has increased the burden on the people.

However, as soon as Bao Zheng took office, he broke the unspoken rules that had been running for many years, and ordered that Guangdong ink films could only be produced in a specified quantity, and state and county officials were not allowed to increase the price privately, otherwise hell to pay would be offended. He also declared that as the "number one scholar", he never wanted a Guangdong inkstone. This move caused an uproar in the local area. Three years later, Bao Zheng's term of office expired and he was transferred to the Central Committee. Sure enough, "I will not return to China when I am finished." . The story of Bao Gong throwing inkstones was written according to this blueprint. ?

Bao Zheng impeached the transportation department of Jingxi Road in Chenzhou, exposing his crime of exploiting the victims. Shi Yukun's "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses" re-created it as a famous drama "Putting Grain", which was rendered by the people and ordered by Yin to investigate the disaster relief. The play involves such plots as an uncle and nephew's relatives harming others and benefiting themselves, Bao Gong being framed for investigating a case, people from all walks of life sheltering Bao Gong, and Bao Gong being angry with the emperor. ?

Jia you si Zhen

During the Jiayou period in Song Renzong, Fu Bi was the prime minister, Ouyang Xiu was the academician's bachelor, Bao Zheng was the imperial envoy, and Hu Yuan was the teacher of imperial academy, which was the hope of the world. At that time, the scholar-bureaucrat said, "The rich man is really the prime minister, Ouyang Yongshu is really a bachelor of Hanlin, and Bao Laozheng is really clean, Mr. Hu." There are four truths in the name.
