preface:
Eunuchs, this unique group, although their psychology is distorted and abnormal, their desire for power is very normal! In the feudal society that lasted for more than 2,000 years, there were too many powerful eunuchs, Zhao Gao, Wei Zhongxian and so on.
eunuch
However, although on the surface, the scenery is infinite, in fact, they are also trembling, such as walking on thin ice, they may die at any time, just so-called: accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the master makes you three more dead, and will never leave you five more!
Want to end well? I'm afraid it's not that easy! A good death has also become the ultimate dream of every eunuch!
The most famous eunuch of the Qing Dynasty was undoubtedly Li Lianying and Li Gonggong when Cixi was in power, this person was corrupt and bribed, his power was monstrous, and he was extremely popular, but he was low-key and cautious. I have to be admirable, I wonder, so powerful, what else do you keep a low profile?
Don't be low-key
That's because we haven't experienced what he went through, we haven't experienced the test of life and death, we took a wrong step, and we can't get back! The guy used two small things to manage the voyeuristic test!
One. Birthdays, almost life is over
November 12, 1871, was Li Lianying's 22nd birthday, and at this time, Li Lianying was already a big red person around Cixi, and the number of people begging him to do things was innumerable, and he himself had already floated up!
Comb Cixi's hair
On this day, Li Lianying was in the mansion outside his palace, feasting on a big banquet, and celebrating his birthday in a high profile, (only 22 years old, which door of your birthday, it is nothing more than to show his power), and the courtiers have come here to congratulate him, wish him a birthday, and by the way, explore the news inside the palace!
The lively day ended, Li Lianying, who was alone at night, recalled today's scene, still elated, her face was full of red light, and she showed a satisfied smile, "The emperor's life is just like this."
The next day, Li Lianying came to Cixi's side to run an errand as usual, but Cixi's words almost scared him down, "Little Lizi, how was yesterday?" ”
Li Lianying's brain spun rapidly, he knew that Cixi actually knew about his big birthday, and was annoyed by this?
"Back to the Empress Lafayette, yesterday, the slaves occupied the light of Lafayette, and several people went to look for me."
Cixi sat there, not saying a word, expressionless!
Li Lianying was frightened and scattered, and quickly pumped her own mouth, "Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die... ”
"Just have a birthday, and be faithful to the Lord in the future. In the future, you don't call Li Yingtai (Li Lianying, formerly known as Li Yingtai, the front uses Li Lianying, but it is convenient to understand), call Li Lianying! ”
After getting a new name, Li Lianying was not happy.
At this moment, Li Lianying finally understood that what is called a companion like a companion tiger, what is a popular moment, what is an emperor-like life, a word is not good, it may fall to the ground!
Of course, he also understood that close to the big tree of Cixi, he could always maintain his glory!
Two. Naval inspection, life hanging in the balance
In 1888, the Beiyang Navy was officially built, and Li Hongzhang, in order to show off his military strength and commend his merits, wrote to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to send important ministers to review it!
Beiyang Navy
Empress Dowager Cixi thought twice and decided to send Prince Yizhen to review it, and this Prince of Alcohol knew that the responsibility was heavy this time, and Lafayette was certainly not at ease, first, he wanted to find out the true strength of the Beiyang Fleet, and second, he was afraid of colluding with the Beiyang generals. There was only one way to solve these two problems, and let Cixi send someone to go with him!
Therefore, Prince Shuo wrote to Cixi, and soon got a reply, sending Li Lianying to go with him!
As soon as he heard this news, li Lianying was frightened, why? Four words: lessons from the past!
In 1869, An Dehai (Li Lianying's former grand chancellor and a big red man around Cixi) was sent to the palace to do a big wedding for the Tongzhi Emperor.
Anderhay was beheaded
This time out of the palace, no one was even more concerned, "I am Lafayette's person, who dares to move me?" "Do you think there's this kind of thinking that he's doing things low-key?"
Ordinary people really did not dare to provoke him, but he met an unusual person, Shandong Inspector Ding Baozhen, this Ding Baozhen has long been dissatisfied with Andehai's arrogance, coupled with prince Gong Yixin's instructions, without any instructions, suddenly beheaded Andehai...
It's the same, it's the same!
It's only been a few years, can Li Lianying not be afraid? What is the difference between him and Anderhay? Aren't they all in the palace fox fake tiger wei? As soon as you leave the palace, you are in danger, what to do? What to do?
From the day of departure, to the process of review, and then to the way back, Li Lianying did not say a word about politics, nor did he say a word about the Beiyang Navy, so what did he do?
Prince Yizhen of Alcohol
Only do one thing, serve the Alcohol Prince Yizhen, yes, read it correctly, is to serve the Alcohol Prince, every time the Alcohol Prince has a look, Li Lianying will pack a cigarette bag for him, never fall, when it is loaded, full of smiles, low eyebrows bent over, the Alcohol Prince is embarrassed!
"What arrogance? I think he's fine! "The Prince of Alcohol thought to himself!
Back at the palace, Prince Alcohol guarded Cixi and Li Lianying, and praised Li Lianying along the way like a lotus, saying that he was low-key, safe, in short, what good words to hear!
Cixi was happy like a child, after all, she had earned face for herself, "Little Plum, is this so?" ”
"The slave just did what he was supposed to do. . ."
"Rewards. . . ."
A crisis, and he turned into an invisible, arrogant Li Lianying, but also by the minister said that it was low-key, this ability, not ordinary people can do!
"The higher the grace of heaven, the more dangerous his life", Li Lianying often put this sentence on his lips, and it is precisely with this sentence that he lived to the age of 64 and died well! After Cixi's death, she lived for several more years. I have to say, it is a miracle!
Some people say that Li Lianying's success is because of the good hand of combing her hair.
Some people say that it is because he is not a true eunuch and has an unclear relationship with Cixi.
Some people say that it is because he personally tested poison, was loyal to the Lord, and never had a selfless heart.
You can't do that
Regardless of whether there are the above reasons, Li Lianying can live to the end, relying on absolutely more than these, his cautious, cautious, cautious character, absolutely worthy of your study!
Companions are like companions, why don't we beat workers? It's just that there is no danger to life! The rest, just like that!
Speaking of this, as a high-density young man who hit the worker, the tears are about to fall! The pain of part-time work, the tiredness of part-time work, the grievances of part-time work, hey, forget it, don't sigh, you have complaints, comment area to express your opinion!
