The upper right corner of the stele is a little dented, but because of the accumulation of too much dust, it looks no different from the outside, and Liang Xufei went up and saw a strange shape.

This shape, how and that?

Liang Xu seemed to understand that this stone tablet could be removed.

Thinking of this, he came down from above, with a smile on his face, and when he saw this, he wondered, why did Liang Xu become like this after a while, is this kid crazy?

Still laughing.

"Brother Liang, what are you?"

This can't be a nervous disorder, crying all at once, laughing all at once, it's really confusing.

"Brother Three-eyed, don't you worry, in order for you to get your family's heirloom divine eye, it's out, you look at it. ”

Liang Xu took out a thing from the Nine Dragons Ring, directly let him fly up, and put that thing on the side of the cabinet monument, what is strange is that that thing can just be put in, and there is no inappropriate fit, as if this thing is part of this cabinet monument, how does this look a little strange?

Click!

There was a sound from the stele, this cabinet stele couldn't be broken, right?

Three-Eyes thought to himself, this thing is really a little strange, if it is broken, it is really strange.

No, it's just a noise.

Liang Xu thought like this, and the stele began to crack out a small line, slowly expanding to the entire stele, and the stele finally began to shatter.

"What is this?"

Liang Xu's mouth couldn't be closed, and the cabinet monument was shattered like this, this?

It was the hardest thing that had been cast in the basalt industry, and now it was destroyed, broken piece by piece.

What's going on here?

"Brother Liang, didn't you say that this thing is extremely hard, why is it broken like this now?

And what the hell is it that you put on it, and it has so much power?"

How can this thing be so powerful, it can be like this, this thing should not be underestimated.

How does Liang Xu explain it, this thing was obtained by him by accident, Liang Jin gave it to him at the beginning, saying that it was passed down from his ancestors, it is more strange to say, one of his ancestors' younger brothers used to be a eunuch, of course, he was also more famous during the cabinet period, and he worked against the cabinet.

That thing was handed down by him, and he himself had no descendants, so it was passed on to Liang Jin in the end.

Liang Jin didn't know what this thing was for, but his family said that this thing could be used sooner or later, and it should be kept well, but it hadn't been researched for so many years, and he gave it to Liang Xu.

Liang Xu guessed that this thing was specifically to restrain the cabinet, since the cabinet was imitated by the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch system would also be imitated, and the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty could fight with the cabinet, at least for a period of time.

The two quickly walked in, and as soon as they turned around, the sign that had just fallen on the ground gradually expanded, blocking the mountain pass again, and Liang Xu was also stunned.

Sure enough, as I guessed, what was recorded on it was actually the ancient Chinese eunuch system.

It is a very detailed record of the eunuch system in ancient China, and this brand is densely packed with characters, block letters. It looks like a piece of paper.

Eunuchs mainly refer to the special products of ancient Chinese slave society and feudal society, also known as temple people, eunuchs, eunuchs, middle officials, internal officials, internal servants, eunuchs, etc., are castrated after losing sexual ability and in the court for slave owners, kings or emperors and their family servants.

"Eun" means "raising". The eunuchs also raise, and the ancients said that "raising eunuchs and guarding the palace envoys", raising a group of eunuchs who listen to the envoys in the palace. It is a professional title, which is the same as setting up a warehouse manager in a warehouse today, setting up a waiter in a restaurant, etc., and the eunuch is specially called in the palace.

Nowadays, many people equate eunuchs and eunuchs and regard them as the same thing, but in fact, they are not. In China, the title of "eunuch" has existed since ancient times and has a long history. It is a general term for officials who served the emperor as well as the royal family in the imperial palace. The term eunuch appeared in the Ming and Qing dynasties, that is, there was no eunuch title before, so eunuchs and eunuchs cannot be equated.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of the Eunuchs" records that "the eunuchs are all eunuchs, and they are not complicated to adjust other people".

Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were both eunuchs and scholars among the eunuchs, such as Deng Tong, the male favorite of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, who was the favorite of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty at that time, and it can also be said that he was a eunuch, which shows that the eunuchs at that time were not necessarily eunuchs. "All use eunuchs" said that eunuchs only use eunuchs, and it is only at this time that eunuchs and eunuchs can be temporarily equated.

In the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs were not all eunuchs, the eunuchs we saw in film and television dramas were all high-level eunuchs, and the eunuchs at this time were the bosses of the eunuchs, and they were senior eunuchs with a certain grade and were good (that is, the eunuchs with the palm prints of the twenty-four yamen led by the eunuchs in the Ming and Qing dynasties), so the eunuchs were more powerful than the eunuchs. And the special title of eunuch to become eunuch began in the Qing Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, eunuchs were abolished, and they were all called eunuchs. Therefore, eunuchs and eunuchs are both related and different.

Now that we have figured out the definition of eunuch and the difference between it and eunuchs, let's talk about the origin of eunuchs, the origin of eunuchs and its literal meaning are also related to a certain extent.

"Eun" is the name of a constellation in the sky, that is, the eunuch star, located on the side of the emperor star, the people of Zhou all believe in the way of heaven, so they imitate the eunuch star on the side of the emperor star and set up "Gong Zheng", "Neizai", "Temple People", "Palace People" and other officials who serve the emperor.

According to the available literature, the eunuchs were born in the Xia Dynasty, the first slave state in China, and it is said that there were eunuchs in the court who served the emperor and his family. But this is only speculation, and many people now believe that eunuchs originated in the Shang Dynasty.

In China, the Shang Dynasty's oracle bone inscription once appeared in the word "convex knife", its meaning is the same as the word "castration", it can be seen that people have been castrated at that time, but there is no record of them as palace servants At that time, their main duty was to serve the emperor and his family's clothing, food, housing and transportation, and their status was very low.

However, it was in the Zhou Dynasty that the title of official eunuch was officially established.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, according to the regulations, "after the Son of Heaven, there were six palaces, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven women, and eighty-one royal maids". Zhou Tianzi has too many women in his harem, and he will inevitably need a large number of managers and attendants. The men who served the emperor and his family in the palace were collectively referred to as "eunuchs".

But at this time, the eunuchs were all pure masters, and there was no castration and some fornication harem phenomena later, and the monarch took a wonderful way to prevent the eunuchs from entering and leaving the palace and fornicating with the concubines and palace maids:

Therefore, eunuchs are also called eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, And because they often serve in the ban, they are also called temple (waiter) people, lane uncles, zhengnei, palaces, internal servants, internal officials, middle people, middle officials, inner supervisors, inner ministers, fathers-in-law, eunuchs, etc. 、

At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "eunuchs use eunuchs, not complicated to adjust other people", and it was only from this time that eunuchs became synonymous with "eunuchs".

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs have become synonymous with eunuchs, and the eunuch system has been initially established, especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs have a great power, and they can even control the abolition of the emperor, and the relatives are constantly fighting, and the eunuchs have begun to take power, and the Eastern Han Dynasty has also become a representative dynasty of the eunuch dictatorship.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, in view of the lessons of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many restrictions on eunuchs, but there was no clear system, and in the end it was just a dead letter

In the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs began to meddle in finances, and even eunuchs in charge of the city and the eunuchs appeared, and the "Zizhi Tongjian" also contained: "The Tang Dynasty placed the city in Guangzhou, in order to collect the benefits of the merchants, and the eunuchs were for it."

This is not counting Tang Suzong's establishment of military envoys, who are in power among the eunuchs as the highest military position to monitor the generals on the expedition. From the beginning of the Dezong Dynasty, the eunuchs mastered the emperor's janissary institutions such as the Shence Army and the Tianwei Army, and the eunuchs began to master the military power, opening the era of eunuchs controlling the Tang Dynasty until the fall of the Tang Dynasty.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs took control of the Privy Council, and it was not until the Later Liang that scholars began to fill the position

The Song Dynasty learned the lessons of the past dynasties, and the precautions against eunuchs' participation in politics were stricter.

Eunuchs must be transferred out of foreign posts when they reach a certain number of years. Therefore, although the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty had Tong Guan to grasp the military power, they would not pose a threat to the Great Song Dynasty.

However, the Xuanhui Yuan of the Song Dynasty followed the Tang Dynasty, and at the beginning the Xuanhui envoy and deputy envoy were eunuchs, which had to be said to be a strange thing, and the inner provinces were all eunuchs who were close to the emperor.

However, it can be seen that from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, there have been eunuchs who have begun to grasp military power, and the former royal servants have begun to participate in national affairs.

In the Liao State established by the Khitans, there was an official position that had a huge impact on the eunuchs, that is, the eunuch, at that time the eunuch was a high-level official position, not necessarily a eunuch, and in the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch has become the exclusive title of the senior eunuch.

The Ming Dynasty was the peak of the eunuch system, although Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, did not allow eunuchs to interfere in politics, but the twelve eunuchs and twenty-four yamen of the inner court were all eunuchs, and the leaders were in charge of the eunuchs, but the largest commanders of the East Factory and the West Factory and the Inner Factory were all eunuchs during the Zhu Di period.

This is the great eunuch, and they hold the military power and financial power, the eunuch Zhang Yin is known as the internal minister, and has become an important part of the balance of the government. ”

That is to say, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, many people were pure, and wanted to fly high with this identity, and the eunuchs in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were all over the government departments, and the eunuchs were distributed throughout the country, especially in Tianjin, Quanzhou, Ningbo, Guangzhou and other foreign merchant trade seaports and ports must be stationed with "tax supervisors" eunuchs, called the "third eunuch era"

The Qing Dynasty was a period of decline in the eunuch system, perhaps in view of the bad influence caused by the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch system of the Qing Dynasty was relatively strict, stipulating that the eunuchs were not allowed to lead the army, and all eunuchs were changed to the surname Wang, etc., so that the eunuchs could not form their own power system. The degree of eunuch interference in politics was far inferior to that of the previous dynasty.

Finally, the Qing Dynasty fell, and the eunuch system died from then on. In the early years of the Republic of China, when Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, he announced that eunuchs would never be used in the palace, and all the servants in the palace would be served by female officials

The evolution of the eunuch system is actually the evolution of ancient China from a slave society to a feudal society, and China's eunuch system also has a great impact on China's rectification.

= Eunuchs refer to men, so eunuchs are from men, what is the main source or way of eunuchs?

Turn prisoners of war into eunuchs

This has a long history, and the oracle bone inscription records that the king of Wuding of the Yin Dynasty castrated the captured Qiang people and became eunuchs to sacrifice to the gods. And this oracle bone inscription has also become the earliest record of eunuchs in the world so far. However, there was no such thing as a eunuch at that time. For example, Zheng He of the Yongle Dynasty, he was the Ming Dynasty army in pacifying Yunnan, and the prisoners captured by the Ming Dynasty army in pacifying Yunnan were castrated into eunuchs, and during the Ming Yingzong period, in order to quell the Miao rebellion, more than 1,500 Miao children were castrated, so it was common for prisoners of war to become eunuchs at that time.

The one who was punished by the palace was punished as a eunuch

This is more famous is Sima Qian, he was sentenced to palace punishment by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and became a eunuch, and Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty also ordered all those who committed crimes to be punished by the palace, of course, there are not many such people.

Accept those who are from the palace as eunuchs

This kind is also more common, at that time encountered what natural disasters and man-made disasters and the like, can not live, from the palace to become a eunuch, the Song Dynasty has a rule that voluntary from the palace can go to the Ministry of War to report, choose a special day to implement, the Ming Dynasty has more people from the palace, of course, not from the palace can enter the palace, many become beggars, become a social tumor.

The government apportions eunuchs to the localities

During the Tang Dynasty, there was a provision that the central government would apportion the number of eunuchs needed to the local government, and the local government would handle it specifically, so the local government would make up the number of people who were apportioned to the palace, for example, Gao Lishi was apportioned into the palace by the local government.

As for the appointment of eunuchs, it is also quite strict, there are special institutions for management, and there are strict requirements for the quality of the eunuchs themselves, for example, some dynasties also require eunuchs to be unable to read and write, etc., these are a kind of eunuch system.

This is a complete article about ancient Chinese eunuchs, I don t know who wrote it, Liang Xu looked at the following.

Liang Xuan, who was originally the personal guard of the god lord of the divine domain, had no choice but to make a mistake in repairing, destroyed the foundation, and became a eunuch, but by chance, he came to the outside world out of the divine domain, a place called the Ming Dynasty, and met a big eunuch named Liu Jin, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, so that Liang Xuan firmly remembered.

When he returned to the Divine Domain, he found that there was an organization called the Cabinet in the Divine Domain, which was very similar to Ming, and the Cabinet also excluded the Divine Lord, which made Liang Xuan very angry, and thought of Liu Jin, as well as Liu Jin's predecessors, Wang Zhen, etc., although these people are eunuchs, they have great power.

Liang Xuan didn't have such a great desire for power, but he was very unaccustomed to the cabinet, so he became the first person in the history of the Divine Domain to work against the cabinet.

After that, he spontaneously organized people to confront the cabinet until the cabinet collapsed, when the god also specially commended Liang Shu and named him the king of loyalty.
