A eunuch has no dreams, what is the difference between that and salted fish?
Eunuchs are a strange landscape in Chinese history, and many things happen because of eunuchs. Well-known eunuchs include Zhao Gao, Wei Zhongxian, Li Lianying, etc., of which these three eunuchs can be described as the "three giants" of eunuchs, especially Li Lianying.
Li Lianying (1848-1911), formerly known as Li Jinxi, changed her name to Li Lianying after entering the palace as a eunuch. Modern society is a society that looks at faces, and ancient society is also a society that looks at faces, and handsome men and beautiful women often have more opportunities than others.
But Li Lianying is an exception, he is not only not handsome, but also full of pus, strange ugly and disgusting, one word ugly, two words very ugly.
Although Li Lianying was ugly, it did not affect his liking by Cixi. Many people know that Li Lianying is favored by Cixi, but they don't know how much Li Lianying is really favored?
Eunuchs also have grades, and the highest grade of eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty is Zhengsi pin ( 正四品 ), which can't be higher. In the Qing Dynasty, no eunuch had a rank of more than four pins, but Li Lianying exceeded and ranked second.
Cixi did not hesitate to break the ancestral system for Li Lianying, and specially appointed Li Lianying as the chief eunuch of Zhengerpin and managed all the eunuchs in the world. If that's not love, what do you say is love?
What is the status of Zheng'erpin? The governors, inspectors, and general soldiers of the provinces of the Qing Dynasty were Zheng Erpin, which shows how high and powerful Li Lianying was.
Li Lianying is ugly, what does Cixi really like about him? Quite simply, because Li Lianying mastered a unique skill, no one else would, only he would, so Cixi loved him for fifty years.
Loving beauty is the nature of women, Cixi loves beauty very much, gets up early every morning, and dresses herself very beautifully. Cixi must comb her hair when she dresses up, but other people comb Cixi's hair and always lose a lot of hair, which makes Cixi very unhappy.
By chance, Li Lianying brushed Cixi's hair, and as a result, none of her hair fell off, so Cixi was very happy. Cixi asked Li Lianying, "Why don't you brush your hair and lose your hair?" ”
Li Lianying said: "How can Lafayette lose his hair?" This sentence is obviously false, but Cixi is very happy, women are a strange animal, they want to hear the truth, but what they hear is a lie, and they are also very happy.
So how did Li Lianying do it to keep Cixi from losing her hair?
Li Lianying is a smart person, he wants to cover up the sky, hide the sky across the sea, he embroidered a piece of cat skin on his clothes, cat skin has the function of adsorbing hair, so Cixi's hair is adsorbed on the cat skin, which creates an illusion that there is no hair loss, I have to say that Li Lianying is really smart.
Li Lianying was able to gain cixi's favor and command eunuchs, which also showed that he was not an ordinary person. At any time, a person with ability can be reused, and Li Lianying's experience confirms this truth.
