The issue of foreign relations is a false proposition, and in fact every foreign relative who interferes in the dictatorship has a common identity - the prime minister or has the power of the prime minister. From the middle and late Han Dynasty, the official position of chancellor was no longer a subject, and many de facto prime ministers did not dare to be this official, and could only use temporary suffixes such as consular secretaries to perform the duties of prime ministers with temporary suffixes such as consular and shangshu in other positions. Then to the establishment of the three provinces and six ministries system, the prime minister is divided into three, the power is overridden by the six departments, just such a set of official positions must be avoided, after Li Shimin has been, only equivalent to 1/3 of the prime minister's Zhongshu order no one dares to be, in the later phase of power step by step decline, basically there will be no power ministers, unless it is a big warlord like Zhu Wen.
As for the foreign relatives, at the beginning, the emperors looked for relatives to attract the strength of the faction, but the imperial power was gradually enhanced, and later it was not needed, probably from the Song Dynasty, the foreign relatives were not very eye-catching. The Ming Dynasty is even more painful, the subject may wish to search the Ming Dynasty, the empress is what origin, almost intentionally avoid the magnate. Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, the problem of foreign relations has long been solved, and the Qing Dynasty does not have to bother with this.
The problem of eunuchs is actually serious in the three dynasties of the Han, Tang, and Ming dynasties, and there are basically no problems in other eras. The eunuchs of the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were only pawns used by the emperor to deal with the magnates and bureaucratic classes, and the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were just freaks who appeared under the influence of the division of the feudal towns, and to put it bluntly, they were all abnormal extensions of imperial power. If the imperial power is consolidated in an era, basically the stinky chess piece of eunuchs will not be used, and the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty has always been very stable, so it is not the Qing Dynasty that solves the problem of eunuchs, but the Qing Dynasty has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to use eunuchs.
