Eunuchs, as a kind of feudal scum produced in ancient China, have been passed down for thousands of years, and before the Qin Dynasty, many eunuchs were not eunuchs, and after the Eastern Han Dynasty, all court dress personnel became people who were castrated and lost their sexual ability. The eunuch system fully assured the selfishness and greed of the ancient Chinese emperors.
Many eunuchs entered the court because they were too poor to eat when they were young. Compared with ordinary people, their desires are less varied, but their greed for power is also getting bigger and bigger.
Many eunuchs began to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court, and during the Qin Dynasty, the famous eunuch Zhao Gao influenced the seizure of the throne by Hu Hai of Qin II. During the Han Dynasty, eunuchs were not only responsible for the personal dress of the emperor, but also responsible for conveying edicts, controlling the emperor's documents, and influencing the emperor's audio-visual.
Because foreign relatives interfered seriously in government during the Han Dynasty, the emperor often reused eunuchs to restrain foreign relatives, and sometimes caused eunuch groups to monopolize power, such as Zhang Rang and other twelve eunuchs in the korean regime during the han ling emperor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which caused chaos in the government and persecution of xianliang, resulting in great chaos in the world, warlords dividing up territory, and the people not having a good life.
During the Ming Dynasty, the famous grand eunuch Wei Zhongxian served as a eunuch during the Ming Dynasty, and was extremely favored, called jiuqianshi, who excluded dissidents and arbitrarily ruled state affairs. At that time, there was a saying in the world called "I only know that there are loyal people, but I don't know that there is an emperor." ”
But not all eunuchs did bad things, such as the Han Dynasty eunuch Cai Lun, who invented papermaking, Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty once led a fleet of ships to the South China Sea seven times, which promoted communication between the Ming Dynasty and other places, and wei Zhongxian also played a great role in supporting the Ming Dynasty's frontline officers and Qing troops in combat.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the eunuch system finally came to an end, and the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi, the QingSun Emperor, enjoyed a short imperial life in his infancy, during which he was accompanied by palace women and eunuchs at a young age.
Later, the Xinhai Revolution took place, and in 1912 Puyi was forced to abdicate, and then Feng Yuxiang was expelled from beijing and became a puppet of the Japanese in the northeast. Later, Puyi was captured by the Soviet Union, handed over to the people's government after the founding of New China, and after several years of labor reform, Puyi was released from prison in 1959.
After his release from prison, Puyi still had some nostalgia for the people who used to live in Beijing, and he heard that the remaining eunuchs during the Qing Dynasty lived collectively in a broken temple in Beijing's West City. Puyi was sure to see how these old people were doing.
Unexpectedly, when he came to the temple, those old people saw Puyi and knelt down in tears and shouted long live the emperor. Puyi was also a little stunned, not knowing how to be good, he also established a sense of citizenship in the years of transformation, sweeping away the authority of the emperor.
Puyi couldn't help but remind these old people who were kneeling on the ground and shouting, I am no longer the emperor, and I am an equal citizen like you. But the old men still just banged their heads on the ground.
In fact, in the eyes of these people, although the eunuchs were physically disabled in the past, they regarded being able to accompany the emperor as a glory that the supreme others could not touch, but with the abdication of the emperor, they also lost the capital they were proud of. This servile culture deeply affected this group of eunuchs who were no longer brilliant, so they missed Puyi's days in power. Fortunately, now that these feudal dross have been abandoned, Chinese have stood up and no longer need to gain a sense of identity by bending their knees.
