If the human beings in this world are divided into men and women, then the people Li Chun trusts the most are neither men nor women, but a group of people who are neither men nor women. They have the physique of a man, but they lack the most important organ of a man. In feudal society, they were a unique existence, because, they had a common name, eunuchs.

The emperor's harem is like a hundred gardens, full of flowers and full of spring. Peony, peony, moon, lilac, rose, lily, spring orchid, summer lotus, autumn chrysanthemum, plum, tulip, junzi orchid...... Flowers bloom all year round; For three hundred and sixty-five days, every day was a bright spring.

There is only one owner of the hundred gardens, that is, the emperor, every flower and plant is planted for him, bloomed for him, and the spring light in the garden can only be appreciated by him alone. Of course, a person's energy is limited after all, even if he is the emperor of the Ten Thousand Vehicles, he has no way to travel to every corner of the Hundred Gardens, and it is impossible to appreciate the brightness and beauty of every flower. Even if the flowers are in full bloom and happen to fall into the eyes of the emperor, they may not necessarily attract the attention of the emperor, after all, the emperor is also a human being, and aesthetic fatigue will occur. Therefore, most of the flowers in the garden can only bloom lonely, withering lonely, as if they never existed.

I believe you must be able to understand that what I am talking about is not actually flowers, but people, women, no, it should be said that it is girls, many, many girls, many, many girls who are both smart and beautiful. They are fragrant flowers and plants, planted in every corner of the deep palace, and they spend countless lonely days and nights, hoping for even one night of rain and dew, but for most of them, this humble hope is still only a luxury in the end.

Day after day, year after year, the years ruthlessly robbed them of their youth, and their faces turned their green hair into snow-like white hair. "The ancient palace is lonely, and the palace flowers are lonely and red", the girls in the palace used their youth and life to compose a series of embarrassing tragedies.

As soon as you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, so what about the Imperial Palace? The palace is a prison! Suffocating prison!

Although it can't be evenly wetted with rain and dew, the Son of Heaven would rather let those smart and beautiful girls walk through the flower season lonely and lonely, and never allow any man to step into his ** back garden. The palace ban is like a thick wall, lying in front of the ministers, and they also consciously stop in front of the thick wall, because, in the homes of these sanctimonious ministers, there is also a back garden of their own, which also blooms with a number of gorgeous flowers, of course, they also have similar taboos.

Except for the emperor, no man with normal physiology can walk into the hundred gardens, but a huge garden, there must be someone to take care of it, loosening the soil, weeding, watering, fertilizing, ......, these dirty work, tiring work, women can't do it, the emperor is unwilling to do it, that is to say, this hundred gardens really need men, many, many men. It not only requires people to do their best to raise and protect flowers, but also does not allow people to enjoy and pick flowers in a relaxed and happy way, which seems to be a pair of contradictions, a pair of irreconcilable contradictions. However, don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients at any time, I don't know which ancients had an idea, patted their heads, and there were! Thus, one of the most notorious inventions in Chinese history, the eunuch, was born.

The eunuch who lost his sexual well-being as a man gained another important right, the right to enter and leave the palace freely. These men who are no longer men, because they have lost the ability to cuckold others, have been favored by the emperor because of this, and they are generously sprinkled all over every corner of the palace. Most of them, like weeds on the side of the road, live humbly, being insulted and trampled on until they die quietly, leaving no trace of what they once lived.

However, if you are lucky enough to follow the right master, such as the queen of the lord of the six palaces, such as the most favored concubine, you can also use the power of the master to live a more chic and nourishing life; If your luck is better, the waiting master is the emperor, and the person is more clever, and you have won the favor of the master, then you can basically be powerful and arrogant.

Among Li Chun's favored eunuchs, Liang Shouqian, Wang Shoucheng, Ma Jintan, Cui Tanjun, Liu Chengkai and Wei Yuanyuan and others mostly belonged to this category. Of course, even in the Yuanhe period, they were not the most favored people by Li Chun, and this person who was even more bullish than them was Tutu Chengxuan, the lieutenant of the left army of the Shence Army.
