Tutu Chengguang had an unhappy childhood, no, to be exact, it should have been an extremely happy childhood, but in fact it was extremely miserable.

The surname Tutu does not seem to belong to the Han nationality, but to a certain ethnic minority, for example, the Xi ethnic group. In this sense, it seems that Tutu Chengxuan must have come from Hebei, where Hu and Han lived, or some tribe in Yinshan, which was more farther away. However, in fact, Tutu Chengxuan is a native of the South.

This young man of the Xi nationality, who was originally free of food and clothing, was abducted from distant Fujian to the strange Chang'an because of a negligence of his family. What's even more ridiculous is that after a few changes of hands, Tutu Chengguang was finally sent to the palace! Of course, except for the emperor and his young prince, any man, including boys, must give up one thing if he wants to settle in the palace, and I believe everyone has understood that that kind of thing is the lifeblood of men! Of course, Tutu Chengguang was not spared, so the young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes turned into a submissive little eunuch.

Tutu Chengguang's master is the eldest son of Tang Shunzong Li Yu, Li Chun, the king of Guangling. Since then, these two very different young people have integrated into each other's lives and can no longer be separated. They are not only monarchs and ministers, master and servant, but also playmates who grew up together with bare butts, and friends who can be fully trusted, and sometimes, Li Chun even regards Tutu Chengguang as another self. Li Chun often thinks of some things that Li Chun wants to do and likes to do, but can't do things because of his identity and status, Li Chun often thinks of Tutu Chengguang, for example, killing his father!

Fifteen years ago, under the coercion of the eunuch Ju Wenzhen and others, Li Yu was forced to cede the throne to his son Li Chun, but at that time, Chang'an was still turbulent, the dark tide was surging, and the situation was very unclear. The shrewd Li Chun of course knows that his position is not very secure, in order to keep his throne, Li Chun showed his butcher's knife, and the people who may threaten his throne died quietly one after another, and now, there is only one possible threat left, but it is also the one who threatens himself the most, this person is Li Chun's father, the emperor Li Yu.

Li Chun hesitated, after all, it was his father, the father who gave birth to him and raised him, the father he once idolized! Li Chun raised his head and looked at Ju Wenzhen, Liu Guangqi, and Xue Yingzhen with an inquiring gaze, but he only saw a pair of encouraging eyes. On the one hand, the temptation of power, on the other hand, is the father of the dear emperor, where will Li Chun go? At that moment, Li Qingzhen really felt the difficulty of the choice, and he waved his hand irritably, asking everyone around him to withdraw. Yes, Li Chun needs a space, a quiet space, to think about his situation.

Perhaps, you should find someone, find someone you fully trust, and discuss, it just so happens that there is only one such person, and that is Li Chun's personal little yellow door, Tutu Chengguang.

The young son of heaven Li Chun and the young Xiaohuangmen Tutu Chengxuan whispered for a long time, a long time, and finally made a decision. Tutu Chenghuang left in a hurry, to tell Ju Wenzhen about the decision of the young son of heaven, looking at Tutu Chengxuan's back, Li Chun burst into tears: "Father, I'm sorry!" ”

A few days later, Emperor Taishang Li Yu died, and it was Tutu Chengguang who attacked. Soon, Li Chun was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and the eunuchs involved in this matter were rewarded abundantly: Ju Wenzhen was promoted to the general of the right guard, and the governor of the internal service, Xue Yingzhen was appointed as the lieutenant of the Right Shence Protector, and Liu Guangqi also became a privy envoy. However, compared to their juniors, Xiao Huangmen Tutu Chengxuan, they only have envy, jealousy and hatred. This former submissive and obscure little eunuch seems to have become the hottest eunuch in Chang'an overnight. In the past few years, his official position has soared all the way like a stock in the bull market, and he has been serving as a regular servant, knowing internal affairs, and general Zuo Jianmen, and finally, surpassing many senior eunuchs in one fell swoop, and becoming a lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army in a powerful dynasty.

In the more than ten years since then, Li Chun has always been fond of Tutu Chengxuan. In the fourth year of Yuanhe, Li Chun crusaded against Wang Chengzong of Chengde, and the commander was Tutu Chengxuan, whom he trusted very much. As soon as the decree was made, Chang'an was in an uproar, and the tall and arrogant scholars and doctors obviously couldn't accept the fact that the commander of the three armies turned out to be a eunuch, not to mention, Tutu Chengxuan was still a eunuch with little qualifications! On the royal case, the impeachment movement flew like snowflakes; In the court, the ministers who admonished each other looked angry and spittle, however, all the efforts of the ministers turned into flowing water, and Tutu Chengguang still led the army to set off, but his official position was changed from the four soldiers and horses envoy to the consolation envoy, which was an explanation by Li Chun to the ministers. However, on the day of the expedition, Li Chun personally visited the Tonghua Gate Tower to see off Tutu Chengxuan, which was considered to have given Tutu Chenghuang enough face, but he did not take into account the feelings of the ministers at all.

It turns out that this time, Li Chun was wrong, and Tutu Chengxuan really didn't know how to fight. A year later, the grizzled Tutu Cheng returned with a bright feather, which was Li Chun's only gray experience in the glittering Yuanhe era. Although embarrassed, Li Chun still didn't mean to punish Tutu Chengxuan, and still favored him. The saint's graceful Tutu Chengguang is naturally arrogant and domineering in front of the ministers, Hanlin bachelor Li Jiang couldn't bear it, and personally ran to Li Chun to complain, but he didn't expect it, but Li Chun was very dissatisfied, and said stupidly, "Qingyan is too much"!

Soon, the occurrence of a bribery case once again put Tutu Chengguang on the cusp. The bribe giver is called Sun Yan, who was the general of Yulin at the time, and the official is not too small, but he is very self-motivated, and is not satisfied with the status quo, but actively asks for progress, and his goal is to make a festival. In order to be able to successfully become the emperor of the soil, Sun Yan made a bloody investment and took out a bribe of 20,000 yuan, the target of the bribe was Liu Xiguang, the envoy of the bow and arrow library, which seems to be a stupid move that is not related to the wind and horses, how can a small bow and arrow library envoy have so much energy to let Sun Yan be the envoy of the festival? Believe me, Sun Yan is not a fool, his real target is not Liu Xiguang, but the person standing behind Liu Xiguang, the powerful person, that person is Lieutenant Zuo Shence Tutu Chengxuan.

It's a pity that this time, the fire was not wrapped in the paper, and the news accidentally leaked. The case was exposed in broad daylight, there was nowhere to hide, there was nowhere to hide, and in order to calm the matter, Li Chun executed Liu Xiguang. But the discerning people all know that Liu Xiguang is just a person who handles it, he is a small fish and a small shrimp, and behind the small fish and shrimp is the big fish Tutu Chengxuan, and it is not easy to seize such an opportunity, and they don't want to let it go easily. This time, Li Chun couldn't find any excuse to excuse his favorite eunuch, so he had to find Li Jiang, a bachelor from Hanlin, and asked stupidly: "How about I demote Tutu Chengxuan out of Chang'an?" Li Jiang replied respectfully: "Outsiders didn't expect that Your Majesty would be able to do this!" Li Chun pretended to be relaxed and said: "He is just a house slave, and I will go like a dime!" ”

Some people say that this shows Li Chun's prestige as the Son of Heaven; It is also said that this shows the contempt of the Son of Heaven for the eunuch group. I want to say that they may have misunderstood Li Chun's meaning, and behind the pretended relaxed words, there is clearly an intimacy and reluctance that cannot be hidden.

A few days later, the edict was issued, and Tutu Chengxuan was demoted to the position of Huainan Supervisor. In fact, Tutu Chengguang's dethronement this time, in addition to being forced by the pressure of public opinion, Li Chun also has another layer of deep meaning that he has no choice but to dethrone.

At that time, the use of force to reduce the feudal domain was at a critical moment, and Prime Minister Li Jifu was a staunch supporter and executor of Li Chun's policy of cutting the feudal domain by force, and he was also the person Li Chun relied on the most. However, Li Jifu, who had experienced a derogatory rebuke, changed his temperament greatly after paying homage to the prime minister again, colluding with eunuchs, forming parties for personal gain, and taking revenge for personal gain, all kinds of behaviors caused dissatisfaction among many people, and also gave Li Chun a headache. Looking at the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the only person who can effectively restrain Li Jifu is Li Jiang, a bachelor of Hanlin.

However, Li Jiang is an upright person, he hates the domineering Tutu Chenghuang very much, and is always ready to grab his pigtails and put him to death. Therefore, in order to reduce the feudal domain by force, he had to temporarily wronged his favorite eunuch and let him wander outside to avoid the limelight.

Unexpectedly, this limelight was avoided for several years, and it was not until Li Jiang resigned that Li Chun couldn't wait to recall Tutu Chengxuan. Although it was only a few years later, Tutu Chengguang returned to Chang'an and then became his lieutenant Zuo Shence, but Tutu Chengguang understood what he had lost: Li Yu had been made the crown prince, and he didn't do anything at all, and Li Jiang and Cui Qun, who contributed the most, were all enemies of his own world. Once Li Yu ascends to the throne, he will become a lamb to the slaughter, without the slightest ability to fight back. Therefore, while the holy family is in power, he wants to persuade Li Chun to change the crown prince, and his ideal candidate is Li Kuan, the king of Li.

Li Kuan, the king of Li, is Li Chun's second son, but he is the eldest among the surviving princes, and at one time, Li Chun also wanted to make him the crown prince. It's a pity that his mother's status is too humble to be compared with the illustrious Guo family. In that harem where "the son is more precious than the mother", Li Kuan did not dare to hope that one day he would be made the crown prince, in fact, few people in the Manchu Dynasty had beaten his idea.

It can be said that Li Kuan, who has no background, is like an ugly duckling, once someone turns it into a white swan, Li Kuan will definitely be grateful to this person, and it is even possible to thank his eight generations of ancestors. Tutu Chengguang is the one who wants to turn the ugly duckling into a white swan. Of course, he has a few catties and a few taels, and Tutu Chenghuang still has a number in his heart, if he wants to rely on his own strength to complete this act against the sky, he is basically a toad, a toad who wants to eat swan meat. Therefore, if he wants to successfully put Li Kuan, who has no background, on the throne of the crown prince, he must find an alliance, and the alliance does not need too many, just one, the premise is that this alliance must have a huge energy, which is greater than his own energy, and countless times larger. There is only one person who meets this condition, and that is the emperor. Tutu Chengguang believes that as long as he persists in his efforts, he will be able to convince the emperor, because he knows a well-known secret, Li Chun does not like the crown prince Li Yu very much, and he doesn't like it from the bottom of his heart.
