Where was the eunuch Wei Zhongxian? How did Wei Zhongxian die in the end?

Wei Zhongxian was a famous eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, once known as "nine thousand years old", and there was a rumor that "only the loyal sages were known, but not the emperor".

In 1568, Wei Zhongxian was born in the area of present-day Suning County, Cangzhou, Hebei, and his original name was Li Jinzhong. In the early years, Wei Zhongxian was a small on the street, with a poor family, but he did not want to make progress, and indulged in general anesthesia and gambling all day long. He also had contacts with some eunuchs in the palace, which created an opportunity for Wei Zhongxian to enter the palace.

Until one time, Wei Zhongxian was very miserable after losing a big gamble, so he accumulated resentment in his heart, and in a fit of anger, he went to the palace. During the Wanli Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian was elected to the imperial palace as an errand boy. Later, it was also rumored that because of Wei Zhongxian's friendship with the eunuchs in the palace, Wei Zhongxian did not purify his whole body. Later, Wei Zhongxian shook hands with others and entered the Jia Zi Library. Later, Wei Zhongxian made a ceremonial meal for Wang Cairen, the mother of the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Youxiao, through connections, and this opportunity was a turning point in Wei Zhongxian's life.

The biological mother of the Emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Youxiao died early, so he has always been raised by the nursing mother Keshi, so Zhu Youxiao is very dependent on Keshi. Through this opportunity, Wei Zhongxian came into contact with Keshi. Keshi was originally married to another great eunuch, Wei Dynasty, as a good food pair, and privately Keshi served the Wei Dynasty. However, after Keshi got to know Wei Zhongxian, he began to snub the Wei Dynasty, and his relationship with Wei Zhongxian also improved by leaps and bounds. Because of Keshi's relationship, Wei Zhongxian entered Zhu Youxiao's sight. After that, Wei Zhongxian and Keshi were in cahoots and colluded, making the Ming court a miasma, and these were all later words.

How did Wei Zhongxian die in the end

Wei Zhongxian's death began with the Chongzhen Emperor ascending the throne, when the Emperor of the Heavenly Revelation suddenly died violently, and the Chongzhen Emperor was panicked and did not have the slightest preparation to succeed to the throne. However, the Chongzhen Emperor was silent on the surface, and no one could know what he was thinking in his heart, so Wei Zhongxian's party was still thinking about whether they could get away with it and continue to be reused by the Chongzhen Emperor.

Later, the development of the situation was also very smooth, and the Chongzhen Emperor, like the Emperor of The Heavenly Revelation, attached great importance to Wei Zhongxian, and rewarded it as much as it should be, and never stingy. This made Wei Zhongxian's party feel hope, but Wei Zhongxian himself failed to calm down, and went to test the Chongzhen Emperor, saying that he was going to resign from the post of governor of the East Factory, and the Chongzhen Emperor also advised Wei Zhongxian to do a good job.

In fact, the Chongzhen Emperor looked at Wei Zhongxian's deeds in his eyes, and he could not tolerate him. However, hindered by Wei Zhongxian's forces, in order to protect himself, the Chongzhen Emperor decided to first press the army and stabilize Wei Zhongxian, and there was what he said before. Later, the Chongzhen Emperor pointed the finger at Cui Chengxiu, Wei Zhongxian's confidant, and took advantage of the internal contradictions between the castration parties to take Cui Chengxiu down. Later, Qian Gongsheng impeached Wei Zhongxian to the Chongzhen Emperor, listing Wei Zhongxian's ten major crimes, and the Chongzhen Emperor also asked the internal servants to read them in front of Wei Zhongxian. At this time, Wei Zhongxian could not sit still, and the people of the world were criticizing and cutting down, and the time had come to attack Wei Zhongxian. So the Chongzhen Emperor sent Wei Zhongxian to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb. However, Wei Zhongxian raised a group of dead soldiers on the way, and the Chongzhen Emperor was furious, so he ordered Wei Zhongxian to be captured and executed. Wei Zhongxian knew that he would not be able to escape death, so he committed suicide. After Wei Zhongxian's death, the Chongzhen Emperor ordered Wei Zhongxian's dismemberment, and the bones of Wei Zhongxian were destroyed, and Wei Zhongxian's dead bones did not survive.

What was the original name of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian

Wei Zhongxian was originally just a city scoundrel in Hejian Province, Hebei Province, and there were many eunuchs in this place, and many eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty palace were Hejian people. Wei Zhongxian originally did not have a formal name at all, and relatives only called him Wei Si according to his rank.

Later, he wanted to enter the palace as a eunuch, then there must be a formal name, so Wei Zhongxian gave himself a very loyal and servile name - Li Jinzhong.

Later, because Wei Zhongxian was astute and capable, good at observing the color, and then married the crown prince's nursing mother Keshi, openly entering and leaving, the people in the palace were afraid of them, and even the emperor's concubines wanted to seduce him, so they changed back to the Wei surname at the suggestion of the talented Li family.

Later, with The rise of Wei Zhongxian, he served as a bingbi eunuch, grasped the power to issue edicts of the imperial court, and became the object of court ministers' competition to please, and Wei Zhongxian also wanted to name himself like a reader. So in order to show his loyalty to the emperor, he changed his name to Wei Zhongxian. It is ridiculous that such a great traitor actually named himself Zhongxian, which is simply a wonderful irony.

From a city scoundrel Wei Si to the eunuch Li Jinzhong, and then to the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian who later fell in power, he changed not only his name, but also the transformation of his life from kind and ordinary to sinister and cunning, human nature is really a complicated thing, the poison of power actually turned an originally ignorant ordinary citizen of the city into a traitor who persecuted Zhongliang by any means, but it is a pity. The name Wei Zhongxian is like a wonderful irony, which will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame of history and spurned by future generations. The name Wei Zhongxian is really neither "loyal" nor "virtuous".
