The decline and fall of successive dynasties are inextricably linked to eunuchs, Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty, Li Lianying of the Qing Dynasty, and others have more or less had a certain influence on the government of the dynasty, and the Three Kingdoms period, which is known as the rise of the masses, is no exception, except for the State of Wei, almost every force has eunuchs interfering in politics.
Many people believe that the Shu Han Dynasty worked together to create a foundation, and there would be no eunuch Yu Chen, but in fact, it was not the case, and the later lord Liu Chan was seduced by the favored minister Huang Hao.
Huang Hao is a mysterious existence from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there is no record of his birth and death, I don't know how he got Liu Chan's favor, nor do I know how he eventually died, suddenly, and disappeared strangely.
The record of Huang Hao in the history book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is that after Dong Yun's death, he was in cahoots with chen yuan in the service and interfered in the political decisions of the dynasty, and after Chen Yuan's death, Huang Hao jumped to the position of zhongchang attendant in one fell swoop, and also took the position of fengche lieutenant.
Because Zhuge Zhan and Jiang Wei both hated Huang Hao very much, Huang Hao always said bad things about them in front of Liu Chan, especially Jiang Wei, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "Totun Tian Jiang Wei avoided disasters" in order to prevent Huang Hao's framing and chose to go to Longxi to farm, which shows how high the status of this Huang Hao is.
When Deng Ai's army approached Chengdu, Huang Hao still rumored to the rear lord, claiming that he could let the witch god stick to disperse the enemy army, until Chengdu was besieged, Huang Hao revealed the truth to Liu Chan.
However, heaven did not bless Shu Han, but favored such a eunuch as Huang Hao, and when Deng Ai wanted to kill Huang Hao, Huang Hao had already bought Deng Ai's left and right bodyguards to help him intercede, and even avoided death, and then disappeared into the long river of history.
It is reasonable to say that Huang Hao, such a misguided traitor, at least must be beheaded and shown to the public, and he was not only spared a death, but also disappeared without a trace, which is really a strange thing.
Coincidentally, in the course of Eastern Wu's rule, there was also a eunuch named Cen Di, a eunuch who ascended to the throne by wooing the Wu lord Sun Hao.
Because Sun Hao liked gorgeous palaces, Cen Di constantly harshly rebuked the local people, annexed land, and built palaces for Sun Hao, and it was by virtue of this behavior that Cen Di achieved the position of wei wei and was among the nine secretaries of the government.
Later, in the fourth year of the Tianji Dynasty, that is, in 280 AD, the Jin army broke through the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and came to the city of Nanjing, and Sun Hao, who was at the end of his journey, hurriedly summoned the ministers to discuss the strategy of resisting the enemy.
However, the ministers did not give a reasonable solution, and all of them were angry with Cen Di, claiming that they wanted to execute him, and in the face of the collective petition of hundreds of subjects, Sun Hao had no choice but to agree.
It is worth mentioning that after Sun Hao nodded, all the ministers and hundreds of officials did not wait for the soldiers to catch Cen Di, they brandished the swords in their hands and chopped Cen Di to pieces, and many ministers even ate Cen Di's flesh and blood raw to show their hatred for him.
From this point of view, whether it is Huang Hao or Cen Di, the harm to Shu Han and Eastern Wu is very great, but there is also a group of eunuchs, which destroyed the foundation of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
I believe that those who are familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms know the existence of the Ten Constant Attendants, who usurped the real power of the emperor and wantonly poisoned the ministers of the DPRK by seducing the Saint and the Empress.
The ten permanent attendants were Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Cao Jie, Feng Chen, Hou Lan, Duan Jue, Jian Shuo, and Cheng Kuang.
The most well-known of these is Zhang Rang, who was once recognized as his father by the Han Ling Emperor by virtue of his seduction of the emperor, and after that, he was even more specialized in the government and chaos.
And his fate was also very tragic, when Cao Cao Yuan Shao attacked the palace and eradicated the traitors, Zhang Rang was forced to jump into the lake and commit suicide.
