Let's talk about two sayings of cold palace first.
Changchun Palace. It is said that Changchun Palace in the Qing Dynasty was a place where no one loved his concubines and princes. But personally, I think this statement is not very credible.
Lenggong has no fixed address. I think this statement is more credible. In fact, no matter where it is, as long as the emperor is no longer favored and the supply is cut off, isn't that a cold palace? And it is indeed recorded in history that there is no fixed position in the cold palace.
Let's talk about why eunuchs like to go to the cold palace.
Safer. Although the people in limbo are also masters, they are only nominal. Sometimes it is even worse than the little eunuch in power, so eunuchs don't have to worry about being punished or even executed. Safer for yourself.
You can get more benefits. Although it is a good thing to work around the favored one, it is easy to have an accident, but it will not be left in the cold. Although concubines have been put in limbo, they are still rich and can get more and safer benefits.
This is a long-term investment. Being in limbo doesn't mean being in limbo all your life. So this is a long-term investment. If the master in the cold palace makes a comeback, his position will never be very low. This is also a gamble.
I think in the final analysis, it is still the feudal ancient society that is to blame. If it's not so terrible, who wants to go to the cold palace? what do you think?
