Zong Ai, a eunuch who had brazenly murdered the emperor, was once crowned king, and his fate was tragic

In the history of Chinese eunuchs, the only player who double-killed the Emperor's Legion was about to perform three kills on the Emperor's Legion when he was unplugged by his opponent and terminated.

At the same time, he was also one of the seven eunuchs in the history of Chinese eunuchs.

The deeds of Liu Teng, the great eunuch of the Northern Wei Dynasty, were already heinous enough, but compared with this ancestor of this dynasty, the admiration was like the endless flow of the river!

What was the reason that made this eunuch kill the two emperors of the Northern Wei imperial family in less than two months, so wanton and bold?

Zong Ai was born into a han family, and years of conquest made this already poor family worse. His parents had to send him to the palace, hoping that he would seek a way to live. In the humble nobility, Zong Ai, who came from a humble origin, was often bullied, but he had to try to survive. Under the psychological hint of increasing inequality, Zong Ai is eager to get the opportunity to ascend.

However, Zong Ai annoyed a high-ranking official of the Xianbei clan during a duty and was castrated. As a man, it was worse than killing him, and his dignity was swept away in an instant. Zong Ai, who survived, had a deep hatred for the entire Xianbei nobles and the entire Northern Wei Dynasty. He felt that all his misfortunes and torments originated from the Tuoba family, and he vowed to let the entire Tuoba family compensate him with his life!

Zong Ai, who had developed hatred, began to plot his own revenge, and at this time, Zong Ai was just a small palace person who could not even see the face of the king, in order to be reused, Zong Ai did everything to the extreme, and even lowered his posture and was willing to be a slave. Under his efforts, he finally got Tuoba Tao's attention. Tuoba Tao, who was often fighting outside at that time, urgently needed a clever assistant to take care of his daily life, and in this way, with Tuoba Tao's trust in him, Zong Ai finally realized the first step of his revenge plan and approached the royal center.

In the first year of Zhengping, emperor Tuoba Tao of the Taiwu Emperor held a grand gathering on the Yangtze River to reward the courtiers, and out of love for Zong Ai, he was named the Duke of Qin County.

With the power of Zong Ai waiting for the opportunity, when Emperor Taiwu was on a southern expedition, the crown prince Tuoba Huang oversaw the state administration, and Tuoba Huang was shrewd and insightful. However, Zong Aisheng is sinister and violent, and his behavior is often illegal, so Tuoba Huang often resents him. In the matter, Qiu Ni Daosheng and Shilang Ren Pingcheng served in the Eastern Palace, and they were very favored by Tuoba Huang, both held a lot of power, and both had a bad relationship with Zong Ai.

In the eleventh year of the Taiping Zhenjun, Zong Ai, fearing that Qiuni Daosheng and others would expose his illegal behavior, made up rumors to accuse Emperor Taiwu of their guilt, and Emperor Taiwu was very angry and ordered that Qiuni Daosheng and others be tied up in the street market and beheaded for public display. Many of the officials in the Eastern Palace were implicated and beheaded, and Emperor Taiwu was very angry about this, and Tuoba Huang also died because of this, and Zong Ai was proud of this.

Later, Emperor Taiwu slowly learned that Tuoba Huang had not done anything illegal, so he felt very regretful. Zong Ai was afraid that he would be punished for the incident, so he plotted rebellion, so he launched a royal rebellion and killed Emperor Taiwu, who supported him with one hand.

Tuoba Tao, the invincible overlord who unified the whole of northern China, was very skilled in martial arts, and once made Liu Yu a lifelong mortal enemy with liu Yu, who was recorded in the history books as a "thousand people beheading". Unexpectedly, before he could duel with Liu Yu, he was given a knife by a eunuch next to him!

After Emperor Taiwu's death, Shang Shuzuo's servants Lan Yan, Shizhong Hehe, Shizhong Xue Ti, and others did not announce the death of Emperor Taiwu. Lan Yan and Hemu discussed that Tuoba Hao, the son of Crown Prince Tuoba Huang, was still young and planned to make Tuoba Han the Prince of Dongping, the third son of Emperor Taiwu, emperor, so they recruited Tuoba Han into the palace and placed him in a secret room. However, Xue Ti believed that Tuoba Jun was the grandson of the emperor and should not be deposed, but should be chosen as the successor, and another monarch. Lan Yan and the others discussed it repeatedly for a long time without deciding.

Zong Ai received the news, thinking that he had offended the crown prince Tuoba Huang, and usually hated Tuoba Han, and only had a close relationship with Tuoba Yu, the young son of Emperor Taiwu, so Zong Ai secretly welcomed Tuoba Yu, entered the harem from the small gate of the middle palace, and then falsely passed on the orders of Empress Helian and summoned Lan Yan and others to the palace. Lan Yan and others believed that Zong Ai's status had always been very low, so they did not suspect that there was deception at all, and all followed Zong Ai into the palace. Zong Ai arranged in advance for thirty eunuchs to ambush them in the palace with weapons in hand, and Lan Yan and the others entered the palace, tied them up and killed them in the palace. Zong Ai killed Tuoba Han at Yongxiang again, and established Tuoba Yu as emperor and changed his era name to Yongping.

Grand Master, blood-colored long sword straight to the heavens, official to the Grand Sima and Grand General, Prince Taishi's secretary, Feng Yi Wang.

Since zong ai supported Tuoba Yu, he was in a high position as prime minister, in charge of the affairs of the three provinces, responsible for the security affairs of the royal family, summoning the secretaries of state at will, and the dictatorship was getting stronger and stronger, and he was afraid of him inside and outside the imperial court. In the minds of people at that time, it was believed that Zong Ai would definitely be like Zhao Gao and Yan Le usurping power in danger. Tuoba Yu was deeply disturbed, suspecting that Zong Ai was about to cause trouble, and wanted to plot to get rid of Zong Ai, and Zong Ai was very angry when he found out.

In the second year of Yongping, Zong Ai took advantage of Tuoba Yu's sacrifice to the Zong Temple and sent Xiao Huangmen Jia Zhou and others to kill Tuoba Yu at night. After Tuoba Yu's death, Shangshu Changsun Thirsty Marquis and Shangshu Lu Li supported Tuoba Yu as emperor, for Emperor Wencheng. After Emperor Wencheng ascended the throne, he killed Zong Ai, Jia Zhou, and others, and all used the five punishments to exterminate their three clans.
