The eunuch supported the "fool" to become the emperor, and the eunuchs were dumbfounded by his first holy will!
Li Chen was in poor health when he was a child, and once again he almost died of a serious illness, when suddenly a beam of light shone on him, and he immediately jumped out of bed and gave up to people like an emperor. His grandmother saw this and thought that he was too obsessed with becoming emperor, however, his father Tang Muzong thought that this child must achieve great achievements in the future. After that, Li Chen rarely spoke and acted crazy all day. For a long time, even the palace ladies and eunuchs in the palace did not regard him as a prince.
Li Chen was not the best candidate for emperor, and his birth was accompanied by accidents and coincidences. His mother was originally a concubine of a eunuch, but after the defeat of the cavalry rebellion, his family members entered the palace as attendants. This concubine surnamed Zheng entered the palace and became the maid of the noble concubine, and by chance, he was born by the then emperor Linxing. The emperor who then ascended to the throne made him the King of Light. He was not born well, and he was cautious in the palace and said less.
In the late Tang Dynasty, eunuchs had great power, and for a long time they were in charge of the imperial government, which made the situation in the Tang Dynasty worse. During that period, there was an emperor who was promoted to the throne by eunuchs because they thought that the emperor was stupid, not born superior enough, and had a very low status in the palace, so that it was easy to be manipulated by the eunuchs and convenient for them to rule.
After Li Chen ascended to the throne, he was busy with government affairs all day, tirelessly, and loved to read. During his reign, he began to rectify the imperial court, first rectifying the internal affairs of the imperial court, eliminating all eunuchs and ministers who plotted against him, and also exposing all officials except Zheng Zhu, Li Xun, and others who died in the "Ganlu Revolution." Return power to oneself, weaken the power of the eunuchs, and do everything themselves.
