Paxton and the Throne of Secrets Chapter 2

Blaine Shi is a more pleasant name. The scientific name is "eunuch", and the direct name is "eunuch". The more unpleasant name, Yuan Shao said, is "eunuch".

In fact, it's quite pitiful. To be honest, who did you offend? With one swing of the knife, he entered the palace, so pitiful.

"Historical Records" says that Zhao Gao, the most powerful eunuch in Chinese history, because his mother committed a crime, his mother became a slave, and he and several brothers entered the palace. Originally, a prisoner was very humble, but he was "good at rules and regulations and had strength", and he actually climbed to the high position of Lang Zhongling, which was amazing.

Off topic again.

I often wonder why eunuchs occupied such an important position in the Han Dynasty? Are normal people's political abilities inferior to eunuchs? Saying this is simply to encourage others' ambition.

After pondering for a long time, I came to the following conclusion: 1. Most of the emperors of the Han Dynasty stayed at home, and this trend extended to the Jin Dynasty. Sima Yan's son Sima Zhong also said that stupid thing about meat soup. In addition to concubines, the eunuchs he came into contact with on a daily basis naturally had a huge influence on the emperor. 2. In the Han Dynasty, there was always a general, chief minister, empress dowager, etc. 

to preside over the government. Most of the time, the emperor was ignored and under surveillance. Just look at Cao Cao and Sima Zhao. In such a state, the only option is to trust the eunuch.

Speaking of this, I thought of a point in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that I have never understood: After repeated bribery, the Blaine Shi was finally not killed by the general He Jin. However, when the princes from outside came to Beijing, seeing the danger, they actually refused to go Qiu He then chose to lure him into the palace and kill him, causing them all to be killed by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Why would such a thoughtful group of people like them kill He Jin in a fit of anger, leading to a fatal disaster?

Although the Chinese are used to describing eunuchs as yin and yang, they are still bloody.
