    If the prime minister is canceled, the children and grandchildren can only find eunuchs if they are not capable.

    Because Zhu Yuanzhang set up two organizations in the Ming Dynasty, East Factory and West Factory, and these two organizations are directly subordinate organizations of Zhu Yuanzhang, they only listen to the emperor's words, and they have very great power.

    In fact, it is because in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, many emperors handed over some power to eunuchs in order to be lazy, and slowly the Ming Dynasty became a eunuch dynasty.

    Because the situation changed later, some eunuchs still had the ability to interfere in politics, so it was called the Eunuch Dynasty.

    Zhu Yuanzhang explicitly forbade eunuchs to interfere in politics, but the Ming Dynasty was eventually destroyed in the hands of eunuchs, ostensibly because later emperors did not abide by Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, but in fact, the reason for letting eunuchs interfere in politics was out of the need for power struggle.

    After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang learned the lessons of previous dynasties. A rule was made that eunuchs were strictly forbidden to interfere in politics. There was also a special decree for this purpose, which stipulated:

    The work of eunuchs is to provide miscellaneous work such as sprinkling and sweeping; All those who violate the prohibition will be punished and rushed back to their hometowns, and Yongling will not be hired, and those who are serious will be beheaded for public display. In addition to this holy decree, Zhu Yuanzhang also specially asked people to erect an iron tablet in the palace gate: "The inner court shall not interfere in political affairs, and the offender will be beheaded."

    It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to prohibit eunuchs from interfering in politics. But not long after Zhu Yuanzhang died, his bans were treated as waste paper by Zhu Di, who succeeded in appeasement. Zhu Di not only vigorously reused eunuchs, but also set up a special Dongchang led by eunuchs to monitor hundreds of officials.

    This laid the groundwork for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty in the hands of eunuchs. Let's talk about why Zhu Yuanzhang explicitly forbade it, and in the end Daming was destroyed in the hands of eunuchs.

    1. Future generations have not complied with the regulations

    The reason why the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of the eunuchs was ostensibly because Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants did not abide by the regulations set by Zhu Yuanzhang. Not only that, but in the late Ming Dynasty, his descendants also allowed the eunuchs to be literate, and even some of the folds were directly let the eunuchs read them.

    2. Eunuchs interfere in politics out of the need for power

    The reason why the monarch in the late Ming Dynasty let the eunuchs interfere in politics was actually out of the need for power struggle, because Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system, which made the civil official group grow and became a power system sufficient to fight against the imperial power. For this reason, the emperors of later generations had to use eunuchs to check and balance the power of the civil and official groups, which was the product of struggle.

    Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, did prohibit eunuchs from participating in politics in order to prevent the political power struggles and corruption that had previously plagued successive dynasties. However, despite these efforts, the eunuchs gradually regained their political power and influence over the course of the Ming Dynasty.

    One reason for this was that eunuchs often held important positions in the imperial palace, allowing them to be close to the emperor and having the ability to influence the emperor's decision-making. In addition, some eunuchs were able to amass wealth and power through corruption and other illegal activities.

    As the Ming dynasty weakened, the imperial court became more corrupt and ineffective, and the power and influence of the eunuchs increased. This led to a cycle of political struggles, corruption, and ineffective leadership and chaos, which eventually led to the decline of the Ming Dynasty.

    In conclusion, although Zhu Yuanzhang tried to prevent eunuchs from participating in politics, the power and influence of eunuchs gradually increased over the course of the Ming dynasty, which eventually led to the decline of the Ming dynasty.

    The main reason is that the eunuch Yunxin has established the East Factory to quietly inspect, and there is no restriction on the rights of the eunuchs, and the eunuchs can participate in the government affairs, so they will be destroyed in the hands of the eunuchs.

    I think the main reason is that the emperor of later generations did not abide by the rules he set, and in order to compete for power, he let the eunuchs of Beizheng interfere in politics, which led to the destruction of the Ming Dynasty in the hands of the eunuchs.

    Because Zhu Di was more indulgent to the eunuchs later, it caused the disaster of the eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty.

    Because most of the Jinyi guards established by Zhu Yuanzhang were composed of eunuchs, and these Jinyi guards held very high power in the country.

    Because his descendants were lazy and did not want to deal with state affairs, they let the eunuchs do the work for them, so they gained power.

    This is because in the later Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen its rule and be able to supervise hundreds of officials, it set up Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang, which made the power of eunuchs increasingly powerful.

    may be because Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants put the power in the hands of eunuchs again.

    Because there were many incompetent emperors in the Ming Dynasty, and these emperors gave power to eunuchs. That's why the eunuchs were in control.

    Zhu Yuanzhang is a workaholic, he has enough energy to deal with political affairs every day, but his successors cannot, so he needs to distribute a part of the power to the eunuchs, so that they can help him deal with political affairs together, which also caused the situation that the eunuchs held great power in the later period.

    The Ming Dynasty did not become a eunuch empire, because although the eunuch said that he held power, his power still came from the emperor, and if he was not loyal, the end would be very miserable.

    Because his children and grandchildren were particularly lazy, in order not to deal with state affairs themselves, they let the eunuchs do the work for them, so the eunuchs gained power.
