As the most famous eunuch of the Qing Dynasty, Li Lianying had a sinister appearance and a face full of pustules, so why was she still favored by Cixi? Today, while sharing the coloring photos of this great eunuch, we also review his life in passing.
Li Lianying was born in 1848 in Dacheng County, Hejian Province, and when he was 6 years old, he was sent by his father to Prince Zheng's mansion and became a small eunuch.
We all know that eunuchs cannot have offspring, unless they can't survive, they will take this road, and it didn't take long to stay in the prince's palace, Li Lianying was sent to the palace and became a humble little eunuch in the forbidden palace.
The palace is completely two worlds inside and outside, here are many rules, but also full of intrigues, in order to survive, the observation of color has almost become Li Lianying's instinct, a eunuch wants to get ahead, then what position must be mixed? Needless to say, nature is the Great Eunuch.
Ben is a smart and well-behaved person, and this "well-behaved" also allows Li Lianying to reduce many crises in the palace, most people will instinctively feel that Li Lianying is not a dangerous person, and high emotional intelligence can make it right and left, so grasp this point, Li Lianying can not be mixed badly.
It is said that when she was young, Li Lianying had a clear eyebrow, although she had never read, but her brain was good, and she was well versed in the way of knotting, because she was eloquent, which attracted Cixi's attention.
However, the opportunity to change Li Lianying's fate was at the time of the death of the Xianfeng Emperor, when Li Lianying and An Haide made a great effort when Cixi overthrew the Eight Great Ministers, so this person was trusted by Cixi, and after An Haide's death, Li Lianying gradually stepped to the position of grand administrator of the Inner Palace.
This grand master of the inner palace did not look at the low grade, but his power was frightening, because he was a red man in front of Cixi's eyes, and at that time, even the wangsun nobles had to give him three thin noodles, pointing out that he could say a few words for himself in front of Cixi.
Li Lianying not only has a set of ways to deal with Cixi, but also has a lot of means for subordinates, after becoming the general manager of the Great Interior, Li Lianying did not rely on power to act arbitrarily, but would take the initiative to help those palace eunuchs who made mistakes, so that they were exempt from a lot of punishment, so in the eyes of the palace eunuchs, this grand master was more popular with the people.
Li Lianying's most favored point of Cixi is that he is too good at reading women's minds, according to the data, Li Lianying found that Cixi is a person who loves beauty very much, so he will run to the Qinglou to ask the women for advice on how to dress up, and after learning it, he used it on Cixi, and cixi was full of praise after reading it, so Li Lianying also became Cixi's royal comb eunuch, and this comb was exactly fifty years, but from this one result, Li Lianying's purpose was achieved.
Eunuchs have achieved this level, they already belong to rare corners, and they have been walking on thin ice in their lives, have they not made mistakes? That's not true, Li Lianying really has nothing to hate except for her love of money, and by virtue of her relationship with Cixi, he is even more successful among the ministers.
After Cixi's death, Li Lianying decisively asked Empress Longyu to resign from the palace, and then returned to her hometown, where she died of illness only three years later at the age of 63.
As mentioned earlier, Li Lianying's face was full of pus, but Cixi just couldn't do without him, thinking that it was because this person was too good at being a person, and besides, in the ever-changing imperial court, the person who could laugh to the end was not necessarily the smartest, but it must be the most sleek.
