In China's thousands of years of history, there have been more than 400 emperors. There were also several prominent female politicians, but only one female emperor. Similarly, there have been thousands of eunuchs in history, and there have been dozens of eunuchs who have been in power, but only three eunuchs have been kings.
Eunuch Prince. It's exciting to think about
This eunuch prince is -- Zong Ai. This name should not be known to most people. But when it comes to Tuoba Tao's name, many people should know. Yes, that's right, it was Tuoba Tao, the Northern Wei Taiwu Emperor who unified the north. Zong Ai is Tuoba Tao's middle attendant. Is a good friend of Tuoba Tao, a good dog leg. Shi Zaituo couldn't leave him for a moment, and as soon as he left her, he was uncomfortable. Of course, Tuoba Tao was also killed by his own hands in the end.
Zong'ai is because of things committed. He entered the palace and became a eunuch. Since you can commit crimes, you must have a well-behaved personality and a lively mind. Wherever such people go, it is indispensable to sneak around and clap their horses, and to observe the color. Therefore, our comrade Tuoba Tao, under the meticulous service of good friends and love, is full of spirit, full of vitality and vitality. Kick The left kicks the Northern Yan, and the right kicks the Northern Liang. Attack Rouran in the north, destroy Hu Xia, and still go south to flirt with Liu Song. Finally unify the North. Ended the great scuffle of 16 countries. Of course, during this period, I developed an inseparable affection for my love. It can be described as not seeing one day as three autumns apart. Therefore, in the first year of Zhengping, he had to be enfeoffed as the Duke of Qin County! Think about how much merit it takes in history to be knighted. And we, the Duke of Zong county. Rely on the ability to live by observing the color of the mind. After serving the master, he easily sealed a county duke. It's really better to be able to blow than to blow. It's the same today.
Later Emperor Wu's southern expedition to retain the crown prince Tuoba Huang supervised the country, and the birds without cages could finally be free. So Zong Ai relapsed from the old disease. Everything that should be done and what should not be done is done. All of these were seen and remembered by the crown prince to Qiu Ni Daosheng and the attendant Ren Pingcheng. Often blow the wind in the ears of the prince. But there is no good way to face his father's good friends, and he can only be indignant. Both sides did not give each other eye drops less.
Tuoba Tao returned to the dynasty, and Zong Ai, fearing that Qiu Ni Daosheng and others would report it, made up a rumor to Tuoba Tao to accuse them of instigating the prince to rebel, just at this time Tuoba Tao often drank heavily and caused insanity. A surge of blood ordered that Qiu Ni Daosheng and others be tied up in the street market and beheaded for public display. Many of the officials in the Eastern Palace were implicated and beheaded, and the prince was so frightened that he died of depression.
After Tuoba Tao woke up, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. Whether it is his own son or how much he understands, this next Zong Ai is dumbfounded, is this not looking for me to liquidate? I can't be Jiang Chong! So he took advantage of Tuoba Tao's thoughts of his son and was drunk and drunk. A man ran into the dormitory. Strangled his own good friend. Poor male lords, they died inexplicably.
After killing Kiyou. Zong Ai quickly sneaked out, pretending not to know anything and a group of ministers to elect a new emperor. Some people elected The Emperor Sun Tuoba Mao, and some people elected Tuoba Han, the King of Dongping. Zong Ai was afraid that he would be liquidated later. He quietly sneaked Tuoba Yu, the king of Wu, who was friendly with him, into the palace. Then he used thunderbolts to kill a group of ministers and Tuoba Han.
Tuoba Yu succeeded to the throne. Zong Ai was appointed as the Grand Sima (大司馬), the Great General,(太師), the Taishi (太師), and the Governor of various Chinese and foreign militaries, concurrently serving as the secretary of the Central Committee, and was given the title of King of Feng Yi. Nominally under one person, in fact, walking sideways, no one pays attention to it. Holding the Son of Heaven hostage to make the princes do not do less. Does this have to be done? So Tuoba Yu did not dry. Am I the Emperor, or are you the Emperor? So the conspiracy was made to get rid of it. Zong Ai was in power, how could he possibly hide it from his eyes and ears? So there was another first strike. Take advantage of the time of the Tuoba Yu sacrifice. Jia Zhou, a confidant of the Party, killed Tuoba Yu.
After Tuoba Yu's death. In the palace, Shangshu Changsun Thirsty Marquis and Shangshu Luli fought to establish Emperor Sun Tuoba as emperor, and was emperor Wencheng of Northern Wei. Many acts of injustice will kill themselves, strangling Tuoba Tao. Forced to die Takumi. Assassination of Tuoba Yu. Now it was his turn to end the day.
Tuoba Mao wants to avenge his grandfather, father, and uncle, and even more to vent the anger of his courtiers. So Zong Ai was cut off by cutting off his hands and feet, digging his eyes and tongue, and then beheading him, and Shi Zai "and five punishments, Yi three tribes."
Zong Ai was the first eunuch in Chinese history and the only eunuch of the Three Kings. He was also the only eunuch to kill two emperors in a row. It also set a Guinness China record.
