Speaking of eunuchs, we always look at them with a very disdainful gaze. In fact, about eunuchs, or eunuchs, and middle officials, their positions are different, and their views are different.

Of course, the most mainstream ones are very disgusted, thinking that eunuchs bring disaster to the country and the people, and this type of people are mainly scholars and the official gentry group behind the scholars. In all fairness, the fall of dynasties in Chinese history was really not caused by eunuchs, some say that the Qin, Han, Tang and Ming dynasties, carefully study, the fall of these four dynasties was mainly caused by local division and party strife, and the eunuchs were just scapegoats used by the scholar group to cover up their sins. If you have to say that it is the fault of the eunuchs, then how did so many dynasties of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty perish? The only group that still exists in China's history is the gentry clique, which is, to put it bluntly, an interest group, which holds the lifeblood of the country's economy and most of the resources in their hands, and the position of other groups is bound to damage their interests. Therefore, Emperor Yongzheng, who implemented the integration of officials and gentry as errands and paid grain, was scolded to death, and Emperor Wanli, who was able to rely on the eunuch group to raise the country's mining tax, salt tax, and tax inspection silk tax, was even more hacked out of blood (the imperial court with an empty treasury can fight the "three major levies"?). ）。 It's a pity that the gentry clique has been in control of public opinion for most of the time since ancient times, so it's too easy for them to discredit a person.

As a ruler, that is, an emperor, he regarded eunuchs as his right-hand man. This is not to say that the eunuch will not cuckold him, but that the eunuch is the silhouette of the imperial power, another way of existence of the imperial power. Eunuchs can only be attached to the imperial power, so since ancient times, there are really few eunuchs who really want to rebel. At the end of the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties, the eunuch group was cleared, and then the imperial power collapsed. The eunuch is the eyes and ears of the emperor and the loyal servant of the emperor, and as the emperor, he can only teach him to restrain him, but not eradicate him. Emperor Chongzhen fell to the gentry group, and as a result, the taxes in Jiangnan shrank from the python to hair, and he left a reputation for diligence, but the Ming Dynasty was gone.

For more than 400 years in the Han Dynasty, to the second emperor of Huan Ling, the eunuchs were in a miasma, but from the perspective of national operation, the country is still operating normally, and the general He Jin killed the eunuchs under the influence of the rich and handsome officer N generation Yuan Benchu Gongzi, and finally the eunuchs were destroyed, but the Han Dynasty has actually existed in name only since then.

The Tang Dynasty is a prosperous dynasty in the minds of many angry young people, a feudal town can put an end to foreign invasions, and an envoy can borrow troops to blow up India. But the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty are the craziest in history, there are Vietnamese people who lead troops to fight crying dad and mother, there are deposed emperors who launch coups and even cuckold emperors, and several generations of kings in the late Tang Dynasty tried to eliminate the eunuch group, and finally succeeded, and then the Tang Dynasty was replaced by Zhu Wen. A eunuch named Zhang Chengye spent his whole life assisting Li Ke to destroy the Liang State established by Zhu Wen with his father and son, and established the Later Tang Dynasty with the name of Tang.

Many of the eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty were martial arts masters in the early stage and could lead troops to fight, but unfortunately the Great Song Dynasty in view of the madness of the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs were never reused as a whole.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are not so much eunuchs, but the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Supervision and the General Office of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, it is not difficult to understand that in addition to the two kings of Taizu and Chengzu in the Ming Dynasty, the rest of the ministers of the dynasty dared to argue with the emperor and dare to scold the emperor, so Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty directly scolded Jiajing for being a faint monarch. Emperor Chongzhen exterminated Wei Zhongxian and set up WeChat, but since then, the intelligence department of the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, and taxes cannot be collected, until finally Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain, and only the eunuch Wang Chengen died with him.

How they perceive themselves as eunuchs themselves. This is complicated, because many eunuchs are very pitiful, either prisoners of war or their families are too poor, so they can only chase money, so eunuchs are greedy for money. Of course, there are many people who are greedy for power, which is why there are so many eunuchs. There are also many aspiring eunuchs, and there are not a few who can govern the country and be martial. ps: Regarding the combat effectiveness of the eunuchs, some people questioned it. If you are interested, you can learn about the anecdotes of the eunuchs of the Tang and Song dynasties who went into battle to kill the enemy.

As modern people, of course, we don't want to have eunuchs, because in the end this is a product of a barbaric and cruel system. The physical eunuch is indeed gone, but what about the psychological eunuch?
