The Qing Dynasty attached great importance to eunuch intervention in politics. Except for Li, there were few famous eunuchs in the whole Qing Dynasty, not to mention Zhao Gao, a eunuch who played politics. The reason why the Qing Dynasty attached so much importance to eunuch intervention in politics was that it learned the experience and lessons of the Ming Dynasty.
Eunuchs were highly valued throughout the Ming Dynasty, which led to the emergence of power supervisors such as Wei Zhongxian, Liu Jin and Wang Zhen. These eunuchs with physical defects are not healthy in their hearts, so once they gain power, they frame Zhongliang and grab benefits. For the life and death of ordinary people, they simply ignore it and just drum up their own pockets. As long as there is a big eunuch, farmers will suffer for decades.
It was precisely because of the chaos caused by the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty that the Qing Dynasty explicitly prohibited eunuchs from interfering in politics. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also expressly stipulated that eunuchs could not go into politics. However, in order to resist the rights of ministers, future generations had to promote eunuchs. The original intention of these kings was to let eunuchs and ministers fight, then sit firmly on Diaoyutai and keep a balance in the middle, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the imperial court. But it is a pity that they are empty-minded and incapable, and there will be big eunuchs and chaos.
With so many eunuchs and some corrupt officials harming the people, even farmers who make a living by farming have lost confidence in the decadent court and think that they are ignoring their own lives. When these farmers saw the rebel leader Li Zicheng? Xianneng? And under the brainwashing of Li Zicheng, he was used by him and became a member of the rebellion against the Ming regime.
Chongzhen wants to be a good king, but the Ming king before him has lost the hearts of the people. In his hands, it is already a broken world, which is hard to make up.
