The emperor's dependence on eunuchs was much higher than that of palace maids for most of the time.
A typical case of using only palace maids is Hong Xiuquan , and he is also an emperor who is not recognized by mainstream history.
Hong Xiuquan's palace only has palace maids and concubines. They are mixed with each other. Because there are many people, they can't recognize them, so Hong Xiuquan simply numbered them directly, which is extremely ridiculous.
This is not because Hong Xiuquan's own preference. He also wants to use eunuchs. The problem is that Kacha Yidao's technology is not up to standard.
Back then, he found more than 80 boys, and with a snap, he beat him up, and no one could survive. Later I tried it a few more times, and those who barely survived became useless people.
does not have superb disinfection technology and complete postoperative care. Hong Xiuquan had no choice but to use the palace maid, but a problem soon arises:
looks really pleasing to the eye, but whoever does the strength in the palace will contact the outside world. So I have to recruit many strong palace maids to come in, but their appearance has fallen out again.
Therefore, it is a very smart choice for the emperor to find eunuchs. Compared with palace maids, eunuchs have the following advantages:
1 is more powerful. No matter how feminine the eunuch is, it is also a man's gene. Its strength and endurance are much higher than that of the palace maids. Many dirty and tiring work are more efficient.
secondly, it is better to accompany the emperor. Palace maids who make the emperor happy and have comfort in their hearts are usually converted to concubines. The emperor is also a human being, and no matter how licentious and impotence is, he does not need thousands of palace maids to serve.
Moreover, in most dynasties, in order to prevent the emperor from indulging in this, there are generally strict constraints on the harem and relatives. It is impossible for the emperor to let his wife accompany him in the court.
So the eunuchs can really accompany the emperor to the court, and they have to play with them since childhood. There are clashes of power everywhere in the palace. The eunuchs are always with the emperor within a few steps, which can not only make suggestions but also relieve stress. Very cost-effective.
3: Eunuchs are willing to stay in the palace almost all their lives, but palace maids are not. Generally, palace maids who have not been favored by the emperor will leave the palace to marry when they reach a certain age.
And the palace maid who has not been lucky enough to be lucky for a long time will not be too resentful to the emperor, but it is certain that the sense of belonging is not strong.
But eunuchs are different. Since they were caught, they have no way out. Society regards them as monsters and cannot even integrate them, let alone receive an offer to support themselves.
So they are more willing to climb up steadily in the palace, have a strong sense of belonging, and are the bosses' favorite employees.
4: Eunuchs can help the emperor manage the government, which is something that the palace maids cannot do. Typical examples are in Ming Dynasty , East Factory , West Factory , and an expert factory. The eunuch makes people shivering. Zhu Di uses Zheng He to go abroad for inspection and leave its name in history.
In the world where men were superior to women, most women had never even read books, so it was difficult to help the emperor give advice.
Imagine this scene: Bingbi's palace maid has been angry with the ministers of the foreign court... The emperor used the strategy of balancing the foreign court to only hehe.
In addition, it is true that the emperor likes palace maids, but he likes young and beautiful palace maids. White Snake is not so handsome when she is old, so the palace maids should be replaced one by one to make the emperor really happy.
To sum up, eunuchs are true love, and palace maids are floating clouds. A eunuch who is beaten by iron, a palace maid who is flowing.
