Chapter 2183 Advantages and Disadvantages of Eunuchs

Dongchang also has eunuchs with palm prints.
It's just that the level is not high, and the corresponding grade is probably from the seventh grade.
But there's a problem here.
Everyone who has a little knowledge of the eunuch system under the feudal system understands a common sense.
Eunuchs with no class are real eunuchs, the lowest and lowly servants, low-class people who die on the roadside and no one will take a second look at them.
But once the eunuch has a rank, it is a eunuch, the first minister of Baogai. This word eunuch is very particular, which means that it belongs to the personal minister of the owner of a house. The owner of this house is also the owner of the entire country, so it is called eunuch.
official.
Once a eunuch has a rank, you can never judge whether the eunuch is easy to mess with or not by the size of the eunuch... Every eunuch with a rank is an extremely difficult person to deal with.
Eunuchs were not trusted or taken seriously in the Qin Empire. When Emperor Taizu founded the country, he even thought about using only palace maids instead of eunuchs. However, he later discovered that there were still some things in the harem that had to be done by men, and it was inconvenient for the palace maids not to be able to do them.
did, so a small group of eunuchs were still included.
The real rise of eunuchs was after Emperor Daxing established Dongchang. As a knife for the emperor to control civil and military officials, the word eunuch accompanied the rise of the three treasure eunuchs, making the government and the public fearful.
Xiaochuanzi didn't know how the Holy Master supported Eunuch Sanbao in the first place, but he knew that a similar opportunity had now come to him.
Without saying a word, Ogawazi knelt on the ground, bent to the limit, put his hands and forehead on the ground, and knelt down and said: "My slave... I am willing to serve your Highness to the death."
There is nothing too fancy or too much rhetoric to express loyalty. On the one hand, as a eunuch, Xiaochuanzi's cultural level is pitifully limited. On the other hand, Xiaochuanzi has been with Li Chen for a long time and knows when to say it.
When should you say nice words and when should you say useful words? And most of the time, in front of the Crown Prince, it is better to say useful words than nice words.
Li Chen was very satisfied.
Otherwise, emperors have actually liked to use eunuchs since ancient times.
Eunuchs have obvious shortcomings, but their advantages are even more obvious.
Eunuchs have no roots. As long as they don't meet a supreme emperor like Ming Xi Zong Zhu Youxiao who is mediocre to a certain extent, it is impossible to pose any threat to the imperial power.
Moreover, the identity and class of the eunuchs destined them to be unable to come together with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. The two sides were naturally opposing camps. All the eunuchs' rights came from the emperor, so they could only rely on the emperor to the death. This was the strongest
The rope tightly held the power of eunuch in the hands of the emperor.
Just like the Sanbao eunuch, no matter how powerful his Dongchang was, facing Li Chen, the prince appointed by Emperor Daxing to supervise the country, he had almost no room to resist if he wanted to die.
Because he knew very well that once he lost Li Chen's trust, the civil and military associations of the Manchu Dynasty would be the first to tear him to pieces.
"I told you before that you would find a teacher to teach you how to read after you return to Beijing. Now it seems that there is no time. Let's take up the post first and learn how to read while taking office."
Li Chen paused and then emphasized: "Dongchang is independent of the imperial government offices and has its own system. The internal strife and darkness are far greater and more numerous than the imperial government offices. Although you are appointed by me,
