Bao Qingtian, an impartial man, married three wives all his life. Why is the servant girl carrying on the family line?

"There is an Po Qingtian in Kaifeng, who can tell a loyal minister from a treacherous court official impartially." Whenever we hear this well-known song, we will think of Bao Qingtian Bao Zheng, who was upright and pleaded for the people. For thousands of years, Bao Zheng has been a well-known honest official in the history of China, and in the minds of generations, which can be said to be a household name. But we only know that Bao Zheng is honest and selfless, but few people know about his family. Bao Zheng married three wives in his life, but it was the maid who carried on the family line for him in the end. Why? That's what happened.

1, the life of the selfless "Bao Qingtian". Bao Zheng, born in Hefei, Luzhou in 999, was a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty. 1027 Bao Zheng was born in the second year of Xianping, Song Zhenzong (999), and was admitted as a scholar in Tiansheng, Song Renzong (1027). Judge of Dali State and magistrate of Jianchang County (now Yongxiu, Jiangxi Province). Because his parents were old, Bao Zheng asked for a job near Hefei, so he changed the tax supervisor to Zhou (now Anhui County). His parents didn't want him to leave, so Bao Zheng resigned and went home to support his parents. A few years later, his parents died one after another, and Bao Zheng built a drafting hut next to his parents' grave. Until the mourning period passed, he was still hesitant and reluctant to leave, and his fellow villagers came to comfort and encourage him many times. Until you Jing four years (1037), Bao Zheng went to Beijing to listen to the election and was appointed as the magistrate of Tianchang (now Anhui). He has served as a judge in three divisions and a transshipment ambassador in JD.COM, Shaanxi and Hebei. Then he was called into the court, and he knew the positions of Cheng, 30 and 40 in Kaifeng Prefecture and the whole imperial history. In the sixth year of Jiayou (106 1 year), he served as the deputy envoy of Shu Mi and died in the second year.

Bao Zheng is a famous official and an outstanding official representative in the history of China. He has made outstanding achievements all his life, rectifying the bureaucracy, handling affairs impartially, attaching importance to production, consolidating national defense, appointing talents and pleading for the people. He beheaded royalty and villains with three hay cutters, hence the names "Bao Qingtian" and "Bao Gong". Bao Zheng's name has become a symbol of incorruptibility.

2. Bao Zheng's three wives. According to records, Bao Zheng had two wives and one concubine in his life.

The first wife was Li, Bao Zheng's original wife, who died a long time ago.

The second wife was Bao Zheng's second wife Dong Shi, who was later named Mrs. Yongkang. Dong Shi was originally a young lady of an official family. Since she was a child, she is knowledgeable and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After she married Bao Zheng, she said to Bao Zheng, "A gentleman serves your majesty, and I take care of my parents at home." During the period of 1973, Hefei Cultural Relics Department cleaned up the cemetery of Bao Zheng and his family, and unearthed Bao Zheng's body and epitaph from Bao Zheng's tomb.

Dong Shi has played a very important role in Bao Zheng's career and is a powerful backing for Bao Zheng's success. As a young lady of a big family, she has been exposed to the knowledge of poetry and literature since she was a child, so she is also more knowledgeable. When Bao Zheng went to the Imperial Examination, Dong Shi took care of Bao Zheng's parents at home, and Dong Shi took care of her husband's parents. She did all the heavy work and solved a lot of troubles for Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng made some achievements in Beijing, so he wanted to go home and see his parents. His wife supported him unconditionally and never complained. Dong Shi is different from other women in the family. She is not as stingy as they are. She just wants to tie her husband to her side. Dong Shi is a negative example. She is considerate of her husband for doing so. When Bao Zheng was an official, because Bao Zheng was busy with political affairs all day, she didn't have much time to take care of her, but Dong Shi didn't complain, and still dutifully became his wife. They lived a happy life and later gave birth to a son. I didn't expect my son to leave them at a young age. For Dong Shi, it was a bolt from the blue. I couldn't accept it for a while, which led to a long illness and left this world without extension.

Third mistress is a concubine. The so-called concubine refers to the woman who marries him, or to his concubine or servant girl. My status is much higher than that of my concubine. She has a formal status and can attend formal banquets and so on. My concubine Sun Shi is the servant girl of my second wife, Dong Shi.

Besides, Bao Zheng has two sons and two daughters. Bao Mao, the eldest son, died before Bao Zheng. The second son Bao Shou was named Bao Dan, and the youngest son Bao Zheng was an official who served Lang Chao and was sentenced to Tanzhou. Bao, the eldest daughter, married Wang Xiang, the chief bookkeeper of Shaanxi County. This female Bao married into imperial academy. However, after the ancient daughters got married, the descendants born to them could not be regarded as the descendants of the Bao family.

3. Why is it said that girls carry on the family line? Because Bao Mao, the son of Bao Zheng and his second wife Dong Shi, died as an adult.

According to records, 1 and Bao Mao were born in 1033, the eldest son of Bao Zheng, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, and their biological mother was Dong Shi. /kloc-married Huaiyang Cui Shi at the age of 0/9. Cui Shi was the granddaughter of the prime minister of the Three Dynasties, and Bao and Cui Shi were born together. Because of his father Bao Zheng's high official position, Bao Mao received special support from an early age. When he was very young, Zhao Zhenci of Song Renzong gave him the title of Taichang Temple Taizhu, but he didn't take office yet, so that he could die the next year after his marriage. Bao Mao and Cui Shi have a son Bao Wenfu. Cui Shi was heartbroken, but it never rains but it pours. A few years later, Bao Wenfu's five-year-old son died again. Cui Shi and Bao Gong were heartbroken at the loss of their only eldest son and grandson.

But Bao Gong and his wife are happy people after all. I don't want Cui Shi to stay at home at a young age and persuade her to remarry, but Cui Shi insists on not doing so. It's hard enough for her in-laws to lose their only son. If she goes again, it will add a layer of pain to the old people. He said, "My father-in-law is the most admirable person in the world. I can support my aunt on behalf of my husband, and I am satisfied. " Since then, Cui Shi has been observing the Festival in Baojia for 20 years, and was later made the king of Yongjia County. The letter of commendation was written by Su Shi, a great writer at that time, and included in the Complete Works of Dongpo? Therefore, it is a much-told story that Cui Shi, the wife of Bao Zheng, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, made Yongjia County a king.

There were three kinds of unfilial in ancient times, none of which was the biggest. Bao Zheng is a famous dutiful son. According to the ancient marriage system, after the death of Dong Shi, my concubine Sun Shi automatically became the third wife. Bao Zheng transferred all the debts owed to Dong Shi to Sun Shi, but his concubine's descendants had a bad temper and often quarreled with Bao Zheng, so she was sent back to her family by Bao Zheng. Don't want to at this moment, Sun Shi was pregnant, shortly after returning home, she gave birth to her son Wan Bao. However, because Bao Zheng and Sun Shi were at odds and were afraid of affecting the children, they didn't tell Bao Zheng about having children. Until 1059, Bao Zheng's 60th birthday. Bao Zheng's daughter-in-law Cui Shi brought a two-year-old child, not Bao Zheng's own son. Bao Zheng is a little puzzled. According to the time, this is the seed sown at the age of 57. Later, I learned that it was born to his concubine's descendants, and she was sent back to her family. Cui Shi has been helping him pay alimony. Bao Zheng seldom smiles. He named his youngest son Bao Mian. So, he once again has a warm little family.

According to historical records, Wanbao was born in the second year of Emperor Renzong Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1057) and died in the fourth year of Huizong Chongning (AD 1 105), at the age of 48, the second son of Bao Zheng, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty. The biological mother is Bao Gong's concubine, but before her birth, her biological mother Sun Shi was sent back to her family by Bao Gong. Fortunately, her eldest sister-in-law, Cui Shi, knew that Sun Shi was pregnant and secretly sent someone to send money, clothes and so on. Sun Shi gave birth to a boy, and Cui Shi secretly adopted the boy in his room, named Sister-in-law, and was actually an adoptive mother. The following year, on the occasion of Bao Gong's 60th birthday, Cui Shi sent the baby to Bao Gong. Bao Gong and his wife were overjoyed and named the baby Wanbao.

Now, all the descendants of Bao Zheng are descendants of Wanbao, the son of this princess and Bao Zheng.

According to the changes in Bao Zheng's family, it is said that this impartial "Bao Qingtian" also had a rough life. Although he has married three wives in his life, his last wife, Sun Shi, carries on the family line for him and is regarded as the second couple, Dong Shi's dowry daughter. But in any case, good people are rewarded, a generation of honest official Bao Zheng died, and some descendants passed on the incense. Bao Zheng's last words: future generations are officials, and those who commit stolen goods shall not return to their own homes, and shall not be buried when they die. Not following my ambition, not my son and grandson, is more worth learning.
