These are three place names. "Shangguan" is near the current " Summer Palace New Palace Gate".
is close to Cixi and takes the waterway to the anchorage of the Summer Palace. Separated by a wall is the Li Hongzhang villa - he knows best what the word "Shang" in "Shangguan" means - so Lao Li also moved to the wall to listen to the news.
Summer Palace
The so-called "Shangguan" is the nearest pass.
"Zhongguan" is in Huangzhuang'er, Haidian. eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty palace had two places to go after their retirement: one was the "eunuch collective dormitory" of Huanghuamen'er in Di'anmen; the other was: Haidian Huangzhuang 's "Eunuch Yidi".
Zhongguancun
"Eunuch Yidi" was purchased by generations of eunuchs who saved money, and there are also several properties for eunuchs to rest and live. Today, the "Li Lianying Residence" behind Haidian Bayi Middle School is one of them.
The so-called "righteous land" means "cemetery", but only eunuchs are buried in the "righteous land of eunuchs".
Most of the eunuchs from the Qing palace did not return to their hometowns after their death. The "righteous place" of Huangzhuang in Haidian is a place; Enji Zhuanger outside Fuchengmen is the real place where the eunuchs from the Qing palace went after their death. Li Lianying The coffin with a head but no body is buried there.
Therefore, the real "Eunuch's Righteous Place" is not in Zhongguancun, Haidian, but in Enji Zhuang'er. The elderly people in Enji Zhuang all know this.
"Xiaguan" is on the north bank of the Gaoliang River a few miles away from Xizhimen.
The so-called "Shang Xia" refers to Cixi's residence (Summer Palace) - the place name is also in line with Cixi's obsession with power.
In the Qing Dynasty, the status of eunuchs was completely "prototyped" - Shunzhi first came into contact with and used eunuchs after entering the customs. It felt good, but I also discovered huge problems.
As a result, Emperor Shunzhi issued a special edict and cast it into an "iron plate" for the three unifications, which was erected in the palace and the eunuch management department as a warning.
"...If any eunuch is specialized in authoritative killing innocent people; if he oversteps his duties and interferes in the government affairs without making a report and stirs up trouble..., he will be punished immediately..."
This kind of "treatment" is compared with the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty. It can be described as "a world of difference". We cannot compare the status of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty to those of the eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty - they are not the same.
Although Cixi began to favor eunuchs in the late Qing Dynasty, and some famous ones were: Ande Hai Li Lianying, etc., the eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty did not cause any big troubles. This is thanks to the three iron brands of , Emperor Shunzhi, and .
hopes that "monsters" like eunuchs will never appear again in the world.
