Since Qin Shi Huang established a unified dynasty, the eunuch system has been accompanied by the change of imperial power, eunuchs do not have much power, status is very low, or unsound people, many people look down on eunuchs, but compared to the hundred officials eunuchs have a great advantage, close to the emperor, close to the center of power, which gives eunuchs many opportunities, as long as they get the emperor's trust, or master a certain way, the eunuchs can deceive and deceive, and cause chaos. The demise of the Qin Dynasty was inseparable from Zhao Gao, the great eunuch, and there were many things in history that eunuchs had to do in the country.
During the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, eunuchs had great power. Especially in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the great eunuchs could even decide who would become emperor. In 846, Tang Wuzong was critically ill and could die at any time, but because the emperor was very young, the princes were particularly young, and Tang Wuzong had not had time to establish a prince before he was critically ill, in such a situation, too much for the eunuchs to sum up, decided not to make Tang Wuzong's son emperor, they hit a fool, the child will grow up sooner or later, the fool will always be a fool. This fool was Tang Wuzong's uncle Li Chen. This Li Chen's birth was not very good, he has always been ostracized by other royal families, and when he was a child, he was pushed into the toilet, and everyone thought he was a fool, after all, for forty years, Li Chen's performance was no different from that of a fool.
Li Chen's mother is a palace girl, his birth is an accident, as the price of the accident, Li Chen knew self-preservation when he was young, he only wanted to live a peaceful life, but other princes like to bully him, make fun of him, always have to tease him at the banquet, and Li Chen is very smart, he knows that only by pretending to be stupid, can not fight back and scold, so as to have his foothold, at the beginning, there are still people who do not believe that Li Chen is a fool, repeatedly tempting him, but after too long, Everyone thought that Li Chen was a fool and had been scared silly.
Tang Wuzong was Li Chen's nephew, he did not believe that Li Chen was a fool, he always thought that Li Chen was pretending to be stupid, sent people to repeatedly test him, but also wanted to kill him, once Tang Wuzong called Li Chen to a banquet, after getting drunk, put it on horseback, and then deliberately threw him off the horse, and pretended not to know, and finally the eunuch found him, only to save him, and once Li Chen was pushed into the toilet, almost drowned, it was still the eunuch who saved him, the eunuch is not a kind person, The only thing that saved him was to use it as a pawn.
At this time, Emperor Wuzong of Tang was braided, and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was discussing who was the next emperor, and the face of the hundred officials was red, and at this time, a eunuch named Ma Yuanzhen took Li Chen back and joined forces with other eunuchs to support Li Chen as emperor. Although Li Chen was a recognized fool, but his identity was there, he was also Tang Wuzong's uncle, qualified and qualified to be emperor, and the hundred officials did not dare to fight with the eunuchs, and finally Li Chen succeeded in becoming the emperor, just when the eunuchs were ecstatic, consciously in power, and could control the fate of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chen was suddenly not stupid.
After ascending the throne, Li Chen was like a new person, able to speak the Tao, no longer the taciturn and clumsy fool prince he used to be, and he was also very capable, suppressing the eunuchs in just one year, and also solving the Niu-Li party dispute, so that the power of the Tang Dynasty returned to the hands of the emperor. Li Chen was a Ming Jun, he attached great importance to agriculture, deeply felt that the peasants' life was not easy, lightly gave a small amount of money to rest with the people, he also promoted a large number of talented and ambitious young talents, and his military achievements were also great, he defeated several ethnic minorities in the surrounding areas, and also recovered the land that was occupied by Tubo during the Anshi Rebellion.
In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the emergence of Li Chen was like a return to the light, so that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has rebounded significantly, in the military economy, there have been obvious improvements, and the people's lives are also better, the country is strong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, this period of history is called "the rule of the great middle". This emperor who was regarded as a fool was pushed to the high position of the emperor by chance, and the fool turned into a Ming Jun, which was a miracle.
