If the eunuch in history is beyond his strength, it can be said that his power is no different from that of the emperor, he is the Tang Dynasty eunuch Li Fuguo, this person was still the same at the beginning, he stubbornly supported the crown prince Li Heng and became a close confidant of the prince. Later, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang fled in a hurry, and the crown prince Li Heng was ordered to pacify the people in Hou.
The common people hoped that Li Heng would stay to fight against the rebels, and this Li Fuguo also persuaded the prince with the great righteousness of the country, and later the prince and Xuanzong soldiers divided into two roads and went north to Lingwu, Li Fuguo saw that the time was ripe to let Li Heng claim the title of emperor, so Li Heng ascended to the throne, that is, the historical Tang Suzong, who honored Tang Xuanzong as the emperor. From this point of view, this eunuch has no shortcomings and is a loyal subject. However, history is more bloody than the plot, a person has power, and if it is not controlled, selfishness will gradually swell, and this Li Fuguo is such a person.
This Tang Suzong was cowardly, seeing that this Li Fuguo was so loyal to himself, and so far-sighted, he handed over the military and political power to him, so at this time Li Fuzong was highly powerful, and later Tang Xuanzong saw that Chang'an was relatively safe, and he also went back, but Li Fuguo and Li Heng were afraid that he would suddenly reinvent himself, so he sent people to stare at it, Li Fuguo even used various reasons to weaken Tang Xuanzong's influence, for example, the original Tang Xuanzong's car was luxurious, this eunuch was changed to a small QQ, Tang Xuanzong originally traveled 16 bodyguards, He changed it to 2 80-year-old veterans, and even Tang Suzong wanted to see his father, but was stopped by Li Fuguo.
So much so that the whole court, including the imperial relatives and nobles, respected this Li Fuguo, and the nobles in the clan called Li Fuguo "Wulang", and the previous prime minister Li Fuguo called Li Fuguo "Five Fathers". It can be seen that his status was so high, and later Tang Suzong became seriously ill, and his empress Zhang Shi saw that her husband was no longer able to do so, and she wanted to make a "curtain to listen to the government", but Tang Suzong had already established the crown prince Li Yu, and was ready to murder the prince, and later this Li Fuguo spied on the news, first protected the prince safely, and then took Empress Zhang down, Empress Zhang ran to Tang Suzong to hide, and the consequences were that Li Fuguo took the empress away in front of Emperor Suzong, and this Suzong was shocked and frightened and left, so this Li Fuguo supported Li Yu to ascend the throne, for Emperor Tang.
After this incident, Li Fuguo's power was greater, and his behavior became more and more arrogant, basically not taking the emperor in his eyes, and directly said to the emperor: You are in charge of the affairs in the current palace, and I will come to the major affairs of the country. Can this Tang Dynasty Emperor get up happily when he hears it, but under the eaves, how dare he not bow his head, and on the outside he still has to look at people's looks, but inside he has accumulated strength, combined with the eunuch who is not on the right road with Li Fuguo, as well as his own confidant, and gradually mastered the forbidden army, and finally one day, Emperor Daizong felt that the time was ripe, so he dismissed Li Fuguo's official position and was crowned the king of Bolu County.
Later, he simply sent a killer to kill him and threw his head into the toilet. This method of death is also quite tragic. However, Li Fuguo also supported himself, and he could not go too far against many people, so the Tang Dynasty Emperor ordered people to carve a head out of wood and give it to Taifu and be ugly.
