    The eunuchs held the emperor hostage and handled the government affairs of the court for the emperor, and the emperor became a puppet, so in fact, the world of the Ming Dynasty was controlled by eunuchs.

    The reason why eunuchs can be reused by the emperor is nothing more than two words. One, they're easy to use. Second, they represented the interests of the emperor.

    Why do they work so well? Compared with traditional scholars, eunuchs are of lower quality and do not have so much Confucian influence. Their purpose is to complete what the emperor has given him, and it doesn't matter what means he means.

    And these people have no descendants, so they don't care about their heads.

    Yes. Because the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty had a lot of power, they could even cover the sky with one hand and confuse the monarch, and in the later period of the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were helping the emperor to run the government.

    Indeed it is. Because in the Ming Dynasty, there was a history of eunuchs in power, and there were also many eunuchs with relatively high power.

    It is true, this is because the number of eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty at that time was relatively large, and it also reached the peak of history.

    The reason why it is said to be the largest eunuch empire is not because the number of eunuchs is more than that of other dynasties, but because many eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty have very great power, and the emperor likes to use eunuchs to balance the government.

    Yes. Because in the Ming Dynasty, there were many eunuchs who held the entire power, and the country at that time was not very stable.

    In fact, of course, this is not the case, but it is misunderstood by many people, so I say so.
