In the long course of history, we have seen many legendary officials, who are either honest and honest, or have deep selfish desires, each with its own characteristics, and compose their own lives in the official arena. Today we want to mention that the eunuch Yu Chao'en, who has no way for the emperor and the prime minister, can be described as a twist and turn in the process of hunting and killing him.
In the process of elaboration, we first briefly introduce the person of Yu Chao'en, Yu Chao'en was a famous eunuch during the Tang Dynasty, during the reign of Tang Xuanzong, he was selected to serve as a eunuch in the palace, and was once appreciated by the monarch, and was given the title of GuanJun Rong Xuanwei to dispose of such an official position, and the imperial court also delegated certain military power to Yu Chao'en. For a long time after that, Yu Chao'en began to increase his pursuit of fame and fortune. In response to tubo's invasion, the divine strategist army led by Yu Chao'en killed the enemy without leaving a piece of armor, and for a time won high praise from all sides.
Later, whether on the matter of appointing Guo Ziyi, he expressed his own views and made many suggestions to prevent Guo Ziyi from being appointed. Still in the blind self-confidence in the Battle of Yecheng, we can all see that Yu Chao'en at that time was no longer a small eunuch who could not say anything, he was a eunuch with great power, and even the power was so great that the influence on the emperor's rule had different degrees of influence.
Yu Chao'en was wise, knowing who he should rely on to survive when he was still weak, and after careful consideration, he chose to follow the prince Li Heng, and then had a basic barrier to protect himself, and later with his own strength, he could even influence one side of the force.
For Yu Chao'en, the reason why he has a weight in his speech is that he plays the role of a supervisor, and in the Battle of Yecheng we mentioned above, Yu Chao'en's decision was wrong. In the subsequent Battle of Yaoshan, Li Guangbi made the right decision at the beginning, wanting to achieve the goal of letting Shi Siming retreat to Luoyang through his own efforts, but Yu Chao'en ran out to oppose Li Guangbi's plan, laying hidden dangers for the war.
In the later period, Yu Chao'en began to gradually expand, knowing what to do in the war, but deliberately obstructing, and then attributing the mistake to others to frame others. Moreover, Yu Chao'en was also very jealous of Guo Ziyi, and previously opposed the appointment of Guo Ziyi, and later vigorously opposed Guo Ziyi's promotion.
At that time, Yu Chao'en casually played with the power in his hands, which attracted the attention of the emperor and the prime minister Yuan Zai, but they also did not dare to act rashly. After all, Yu Chao'en held military power, and if he took this opportunity to rebel, the consequences would be very tragic.
In the end, it was Prime Minister Yuan Zai who plotted to design Yu Chao'en, and with the emperor's approval, he laid a trap waiting for Yu Chao'en to be hooked, and also actively bribed Korean and Chinese officials to suppress Yu Chao'en, and finally was given death by the emperor to end his life.
But there was still a serious problem, when under the leadership of Yu Chao'en, the strength of eunuchs reached a height that previous dynasties had not been able to reach. Although Yu Chao'en died, the intertwined eunuch forces behind him did not end with the fall of Yu Chao'en.
