Wei Zongxian was a famous eunuch in ancient times, also known as a eunuch. At that time, the emperor valued eunuchs. It can be said that the weight of eunuchs' words in the court was no less important than that of ministers. Wei Zongxian's cemetery was discovered in Beijing a few years ago. However, his cemetery has long been visited by tomb robbers. There are only two stone wengzhong left in it, which are almost three meters high and have dragon patterns on them. This specification was only available in ancient times. Only the emperor can use it.
Wei Zongxian, the eunuch, can be said to have done all kinds of evil, killing many loyal people, and forming cliques in the court. Because he was favored and reused by the emperor, it can be said that he has all the power in the court and the public, because the emperor became Long live, so the ministers and the people called him Jiu Qiansui. It can be said that a eunuch dared to be on an equal footing with the emperor, which can be said to be very arrogant.
At that time, the emperor was somewhat suspicious of all civil and military officials. He only trusted Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch, and asked Wei Zhongxian to help supervise all military and political power. However, the emperor's methods were very clever, and Wei Zhongxian did not dare to do so when he was alive. There are some small moves, but this is not a good start. After the emperor's death, the entire court fell into the hands of the eunuchs. Wei Zongxian was also very ambitious. Later, he even wanted to be the emperor himself, and quietly won over ministers in the court to prepare for the future.
It can be seen from the excavated Shi Wengzhong that his power at that time was comparable to that of the emperor, and he should be a man who could call the shots in the court. However, he did not enjoy much time in this kind of life. When the next emperor sat down After he secured the throne, the first one took advantage of him and exiled him to the border. However, he had never suffered such pain, so he hanged himself on the road.
