Ten eunuchs in the history of China

1. The first eunuch prime minister-Gao

Zhao Gao, originally a descendant of Zhao nobles, was swept into Qin in the spring and the year of his death, and his father and son were castrated one after another. Young Zhao Gao suffered a lot from human sufferings. After he entered the palace, he secretly took revenge, and Hu Hai, the son of Hou Shao, won the appreciation of Qin Shihuang.

In AD 2 10, Qin Shihuang died in a sand dune, and Zhao Gao was up to no good. He pulled Reese into the water with clever words and looks, lied about it, forced general Su Hu to go to prison, and successfully helped Hu Hai usurp the throne. Later, he was promoted to corps commander and took charge of Chaogang. Then Zhao Gao gave full play to his brutal tactics and killed Reese, an ally who had halved his differences. He pointed the deer into a horse, played with Qin Ershi, and finally staged a coup to force him to kill II. The first emperor of the ages, Qin Shihuang, is in the spirit of heaven. How could he understand that the iron-clad Daqin Jiangshan was destroyed by a eunuch Zhao Gaozhi?

2. Money-gathering and power-playing in Zhang Rang's Han Palace in the Eastern Han Dynasty

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuch group headed by Zhang Rang dominated the Chaogang and dominated the world. Zhang Rang was born in Yingzhou (now Yuzhou, Henan). From a handyman eunuch in the palace, he gradually climbed to the middle of the eunuch leader. He urged Liu Lingdi Liu Hong, a bad emperor, to set up a "four-garden selling office" to openly sell officials to collect money. He also set up a "naked swimming hall" in the West Park of the Han Palace, offering sacrifices to the spirit emperor's lewdness and making the spirit emperor laugh. He "overstepped the imperial system" and built his own manor higher than the palace, but he was afraid that the Emperor Ling would find out that he had tried his best to deceive the Emperor Ling by saying that "the son of heaven can't climb the mountain, and it will be miserable if he climbs it". The bad king was convinced and always called Zhang Rang his father. A bad king and a traitor are birds of a feather.

Zhang Rang led ten regular attendants, turned black and white upside down, and fabricated charges to kill courtiers, which finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the consorts group headed by He Jin. Zhang Rang took the lead again, killing the blade by inducements, which led to the rebellion of the Guards in Shi Jing, and thousands of eunuchs in the palace. Zhang Rang also went to the dead end and joined the Yellow River.

3. The eunuch strategist-Don Gao Lishi

Gao Lishi was the most powerful eunuch in the Tang Dynasty. From a wandering teenager who was castrated and entered the palace to serve the female emperor Wu Zetian, she witnessed all kinds of sinister and cruel things in the deep palace and gradually understood a set of unique skills. In the "Dragon Revolution", he improvised, chose the main task, took refuge in Li Longji and brought down his master Wu Zetian. Later, he gave advice to help kill Princess Heping and eventually became Tang's most loyal confidant. However, Gao Lishi made a lot of efforts and provided many good strategies in the process of creating "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" in the Tang Dynasty, and was regarded as a master among eunuchs in China.

Gao Lishi's most wonderful performance on the historical stage is that he single-handedly facilitated the epic marriage between Yang Yuhuan and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It was he who made Yang Guifei, and he hanged Yang Guifei in Maweipo. Success is great, so is failure. It's really a beautiful woman who smiles like a flower and charms the ages. There is no hate in the world.

4. Tang Li Guo Fu, Yan Haiquan's black master.

From the Xia Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty for five thousand years, there were thousands of eunuchs in imperial palaces, not to mention good or bad, but few loyal and treacherous officials could leave a mark on the history of China. The eunuch prime minister like Li, only Zhao Gao and him, never appeared again.

"Every country is fierce and has an extraordinary black mind, and Li is one of the masters. Flattery, flattery, he will if he doesn't learn. Sex, he can do anything. He never relents in killing his own kind and others. From princes and prime ministers to queens and emperors, they can become wands in their hands when they are useful, and start chopping when they are useless. Li Yisheng was busy all his life, seeking power, seizing political power and possessing the wealth of the city and the country. Finally beheaded and dumped in the wilderness.

5. The army of the prison army mistakenly poisoned the country-Guan.

Tong Guan, a young man, entered the palace neatly and fell at the door of the great eunuch Li Xian. He is clever, and he is good at trying to figure out kung fu and flattery. After Hui Zong ascended the throne, he was like a duck to water. He tried his best to please this romantic son of heaven by offering antiques, calligraphy and painting. Since then, he has risen to the top. He teamed up with Cai Jing to crowd out courtiers. Men (that is, Cai Jing) and women (that is, Tong Guan) colluded with each other internally and externally, monopolized the military and political power in the Northern Song Dynasty, and drove all the officials in the ruling and opposition parties out of the door, so that the child eunuch became the "child king". Tong Guan has been in charge of military power for twenty years. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the national strength gradually weakened after repeated wars and defeats with Liao and Jin. But he kept the military power forever, which shows that he has a high means of protecting power and position.

6. From castration to wealth-Wang Ming Zhen

Wang Zhenben is a frustrated scholar. He found a shortcut to act on behalf of heaven and enrich the world from countless examples of eunuchs' prosperity and power in the world in history, and gained the spiritual strength of self-castration. So, like a gambler, he gambled on his body and personality, paving the way for his successful career at the expense of self-castration. He ignored traditional ideas and social discussions and excluded the minister of auxiliary government; Stealing and destroying Zhu Yuanzhang's ironclad proof that eunuchs were forbidden to interfere in politics, which made eunuchs openly step onto the political stage; After monopolizing power, he collected money crazily, intervened in finance under the banner of imperial power, accepted bribes, and put the idea of getting rich on monks and nuns; Dismantling and killing Liu Qiu by destroying his political enemies is the most appalling tragedy in the Ming Yingzong era. Wang Zhen's special system was chaotic, which led to the capture of Yingzong and his own death. Fan Zhongyan, the general of the guard, was killed with a hammer and his soul returned to the grave.

7. Liu Mingjin, the first "founding emperor" of the Eight Tigers

Liu Jin was one of the most famous eunuchs in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and was called "Emperor Li". When the teenager entered the palace, he learned hacking skills with his easy-to-use mind, and was appreciated and recommended by the great eunuch Li Guang, who served Prince Zhu Houzhao in the East Palace. He devoted himself to pleasing the prince and soon became his confidant. After the Prince succeeded to the throne, Liu Jin was promoted again and again, and soon became the eunuch of Li Si, representing the emperor. He coaxed the insatiable Ming Wuzong into the leopard room, concocted a list of "traitors" and wiped out 56 honest courtiers. All the decisions of the imperial court were monopolized and became the nameless "Emperor Liu". He also relies on the East-West Factory and the Royal Guards to terrorize people and make them feel insecure. He also changed the dynasty system and took the opportunity to take bribes. Courtiers followed suit, greed was everywhere, and the Ming Dynasty was declining.

8. Zhongxian County, Wei Ming, the first prostitute in Yanhai.

Wei Zhongxian is a common person who can't read, but he is good at flattery. Soon after he entered the palace, he was promoted by eunuch Wang An, who was closely related to Emperor Wanli, and his status and power were increasing day by day. After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, Ming Xizong and Ke began to take power and interfere in politics. He turned his back on the enemy? Libo? What is the score? Traces? What happened? Constant value? Street barge scale? Ape beer? Drop out of school? At night? Hey, k? It's called squid worship Hey? (4) (4) (4) (4): Is it a good idea to forge three pieces? Brown ants poke their arms. 9. Rely on one's work and be arrogant-Celebrate An Dehai.

/kloc-An Dehai, who entered the palace as a eunuch at the age of 0/0, was deeply loved by his master because of his agility and expressiveness, and was called "Xiao Anzi". 186 1 year, he met an opportunity and made it to heaven. That year, when Emperor Xianfeng died, he issued a secret edict and was succeeded by his only son, Zai Chun. Eight ministers, including Su Shun, were regents, and they ordered Nora to be relieved of her power. An Dehai leaked the testamentary edict to Nora. After Xianfeng's death, as the envoy of Nalashi and Prince Gong, he ran between Jehol and Beijing, which made his coup successful. Xiao Anzi worked hard, and Empress Dowager Cixi promoted him to be the eunuch in charge of power.

After An Dehai became the confidant of Cixi, relying on his arrogance, he intervened in state affairs, suppressed Prince Gong, picked the Empress Dowager of the two palaces, and made many enemies. He was crazy about collecting money, went to Jinan and was beheaded.

10. Li, the first eunuch of the Qing Dynasty.

Li spent 52 years in the Qing Dynasty from the sixth year of Xianfeng (1856) to the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu (1908). She is the favorite eunuch of Empress Dowager Cixi, and also a great eunuch with the highest taste, the greatest power, the greatest wealth and the longest service in the Qing Dynasty. His cruelty to his master and slave and his peers reached the peak. He is not afraid, ignores the princes, and regards military affairs ministers as leisure. North Korean officials and governors of other provinces flatter them and snore. All the important affairs of the national government and the Qing court were listened to and participated in.
