A little eunuch accompanied Cixi to play chess, and when he was in full swing, he forgot to avoid it, and opened his mouth to come: "I killed Lafayette's horse." Before the words fell, the other eunuchs turned pale with fright, and Cixi immediately said angrily: "Then I will kill your whole family!" Sure enough, the little eunuch who accompanied Cixi to play chess was roded that day
and his family did not survive in the end...

Cixi was arrogant and extravagant since she was a child, and her temperament was perverse. The loss of her beloved son is already a great shame, but as a widow, she is in power and in power, coupled with the changes in menopause, so her temperament has changed greatly and she is extremely tyrannical. She placed a number of torture chambers in the palace and ruled the court eunuchs. The slightest negligence of the eunuchs, whether innocent or not, was to be held jointly responsible. The punishment is cruel and abnormal, such as the punishment of wet paper, and the "angry death" method of beating to death with a stick, which is really rare.
Li Lianying has been in the palace since she was a child to serve Cixi, she is cautious and cautious, and never takes a step beyond Lei Chi. He experienced Cixi's likes and dislikes, always catered to them, and finally won Cixi's favor. All the eunuchs despised her flattery, but they also had to follow Li Lianying's example and survive humbly.
One day, when Li Shun was combing, he found that Cixi had combed several gray hairs. Li Shun was shocked, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew that if he was discovered, he would be killed, but it was too late for him to escape. Sure enough, Cixi was furious and beheaded Li Shun to set an example for future generations. From then on, the eunuch was afraid of angering Lafayette.
Cixi paid great attention to her appearance and would cover her face with a thin veil. A new eunuch who entered the palace did not know, and when he caught a glimpse of his original appearance, he was killed by him. Since then, the eunuchs have been more cautious, and they are all afraid.
One day, Cixi was full of interest in playing chess and ordered a eunuch to play with her. The eunuch threw himself into the game and had the upper hand. He was overjoyed and blurted out "Eat your horse". Cixi was furious and immediately beheaded the man. The eunuchs and others changed their complexion when they heard this, and they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Politically, Cixi was no less cruel. She drowned Concubine Zhen, grinded to death the six gentlemen of the Restoration, and accidentally killed the thirty-eight-year-old Guangxu Emperor when she was critically ill. She has been extravagant in her life, her political achievements have been fruitless, and she has brought disaster to the country and the people.
In the face of such a tyrant, the eunuchs and others had no choice but to bow their eyebrows and be careful to survive. They did not dare to speak loudly, nor could they snore. Li Lianying can be favored all because of flattery. The rest of the eunuchs lived in fear and feared all day long. They only hope that a new weather will come and that the long night will end.
Although the late Qing Dynasty was already at the end of the crossbow, it finally improved. After Cixi's death, Emperor Xuantong ascended the throne and implemented a new policy. Eunuch Li Ruishan and other virtuous people assisted the young master. The political situation is gradually on the track, and the people's hearts are slightly settled. Among the eunuchs, there are also people who know the times, and they have passed on the torch from generation to generation, and have trained many talents. Li Ruishan was quite valued by Emperor Xuantong. After Yuan Shikai seized power, he also retained Li Ruishan and others.
During the Republic of China, the status of eunuchs was no longer there. Although Li Ruishan has gone through ups and downs, he is still good at dancing with long sleeves and helping politicians plan internal affairs. The new eunuch must take an exam when entering the palace, and he is no longer as handsome as the previous dynasty. The imperial physician also passed through the country, unlike the previous dynasty, which only focused on witchcraft. Although Li Ruishan has gone through several emperors, he can adapt to the changes of the times and have the heart to serve the country, and he is really an outstanding eunuch in the world.
The court eunuchs also began to leave the Forbidden City and integrate into society. Some of them are engaged in business, while others are enrolled in the World Affairs School. After the constitution, the power of eunuchs was no longer there, and there was no need to flatter the powerful. The eunuchs raised their eyebrows and regained their dignity. Some of them are admitted to universities and have made achievements in various industries after graduation. There is also an active exchange of knowledge on Western medicine among the doctors.
During the period of the Republic of China, eunuchs changed from sacrificing children to voluntarily serving in the palace, and gradually entered the normal track. With the support of the government of the Republic of China, people of insight established a vocational school in the palace to teach eunuchs cultural knowledge and life skills, and help them return to social life. The eunuchs also gradually formed their own groups to fight for their rights. Unremitting self-improvement, the heart of serving the Republic of China has become more and more firm. Although the status of eunuchs is no longer there, their feelings of serving the country can still be played. The people are respectable, and the national fortune can also be expected.
