In the ancient dynasty when eunuchs were autocratic, the eunuchs in power ruled the world and did whatever they wanted. From Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, almost every dynasty had a big eunuch in charge of state affairs. Different from the Tang Dynasty, although there were many eunuchs in power in the Ming Dynasty, they could not be active in the power struggle as a political force, which led to the fact that the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, although apparently in power, relied heavily on the imperial power and could only serve the imperial power as slaves. How could the eunuch who served the imperial power rebel?

Liu Jin is a man

Liu Jin was a eunuch in Zhu Houzhao period of Ming Wuzong, and was highly valued by Zhu Houzhao. When Zhu Houzhao was young, Liu Jin had already begun to serve Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao is interesting by nature, and Liu Jin often does something interesting to please Zhu Houzhao. Besides Liu, eight eunuchs, including Ma Yongcheng, Qiu Ju, Wei Bin and Gao Feng, were all childhood playmates. Later, Zhu Houzhao became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, with the title of Zheng De. Eight eunuchs were all promoted and called the Eight Tigers. Among the eight tigers, especially Liu Jin is the most favored and the first of the eight tigers.

Eunuch Liu Jinguan was mainly responsible for completing the national decision-making of the Ming Dynasty. Red? Part of it is because Zheng De is fun, often neglects political affairs, and loves Liu Jin, so he gives the letter to Liu Jin for handling. In fact, Zheng De gave Liu Jin the right to decide many things about Daming, so Liu Jin took power.

Liu Jin, who is in power in the ruling and opposition parties.

After Liu Jin came to power, he began to use his power to embezzle. For example, officials from all over the world paid bribes to him when they went to Beijing for pilgrimage. Meeting ceremony? , often thousands of two hundred pieces of silver. At the same time, Liu Jin also sent his cronies to collect money for him locally.

Liu Jin also cracked down on dissidents and rejected them. Jiao Fang, Liu Yu and other ministers took refuge in Liu Jin, suppressed other ministers in the DPRK and dominated the state affairs. Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others impeached Liu Jin. Liu Jin lured the emperor into battle, regardless of state affairs, only reported some trivial matters to Zhu Houzhao, and then cried to Zheng De, who thought that ministers had nothing to do. In a rage, he punished the impeached ministers, Liu Jian and Xie Qian who participated in the impeachment were forced to resign, and Wang Yue, Fan Heng and Xu Zhi were sent to exile in Nanjing. From then on, no one in the DPRK dared to oppose Liu Jin.

Yang Yiqing counted Liu Jin.

During Yang Yiqing's tenure as Governor of Shaanxi but Gansu, Zhu Houzhao attached great importance to border defense construction. Liu Jin once pursued Yang Yiqing, but Yang Yiqing refused. In a rage, he impeached Yang Yiqing and framed Yang Yiqing for actively wasting frontier funds. Yang Yiqing was arrested and imprisoned, and was rescued only with the full rescue of college students Li Dongyang and Wang Hao. In this way, the problem between Yang Yiqing and Liu Jin was solved.

Zhu Jian, the king of Anhua, rebelled, and Yang Yiqing was used in the imperial edict of Ming Wuzong. The general's military affairs took counter-rebellion and attacked the official to Zhang Yong as the supervisor. Although Zhang Yong is one of the Eight Tigers, he hates Liu Jin very much. After Liu Jin came to power, he bullied Zhang Yong. Yang Yiqing and hit it off, * * * decided to divide Liu.

After returning from the counter-insurgency, Zhang Yong used the opportunity of offering prisoners to impeach Liu Jin for treason and other charges 17. Zhu Houzhao, a student of the Ming Dynasty, was surprised and ordered Liu Jin to be arrested and interrogated. The next day, Zhu Houzhao personally went to copy Liu Jin's home. As a result, millions of gold and silver, as well as forged seals, jade belts and other contraband were found in Liu Jin's home. Two daggers were also found in the fan that Liu Jin often held. According to the records of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor got a fake seal from home and wore 500 pieces of palace cards, armor, crossbows, mourning clothes and jade belts. He often holds a fan and hides a dagger. Zhu Houzhao flew into a rage when he saw this scene. This is to murder the emperor. Zhu Houzhao finally believed the fact of Liu Jin's rebellion, and wrote a letter to kill Liu Jin.

Did Kim really rebel?

Since Liu Jin came to power, what he has done most is to collect money, so it is normal to find gold and silver jewelry in Liu Jin's home. Liu Jin has done a lot of graft and perverting the law, and it is not surprising to find such evidence. Only rebellion, Liu Jin will not do it.

Liu Jin's power was given by the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and Liu Jin's power in the imperial court depended on the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao. Then why did he launch a rebellion against the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao? Does he want to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and become emperor himself? This is obviously impossible. If Zhu Houzhao rebelled against Ming Wuzong and overthrew Zhu Houzhao, would his successor still let Liu Jin take control of the state affairs?

Therefore, Liu Jin's power is given by Wu Zong, and he can only rely on Wu Zong. Rebellion means nothing to him. As long as Zhu Houzhao of Mingwuzong prized him, he wouldn't fall.
