Qiu Shiliang, a famous eunuch in the Tang Dynasty, was awarded the title of Duke of Chu. He was worshiped as Tejin and Hussar General, served as an eunuch in the inner circle, and concurrently served as the five envoys at home and abroad. He was also the "" God of the Central Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty. The leader of "Cejun", he had a high official position, a large number of troops, and was arrogant for a while. Qiu Shiliang once killed two kings, a concubine, and four prime ministers, and even tried to conspire to depose the emperor. He was ruthless! However, Qiu Shiliang's ending was that of a powerful eunuch. The best, it can even be said to be a good death - dying on the bed of his own home after retirement. In contrast, Gao Lishi died, Yu Chaoen was strangled, Li Fuguo was assassinated by the emperor, and his head was thrown into the pit... ....It is not as comfortable as Qiu Shiliang's death. Therefore, it can be said that Qiu Shiliang is a "model" among eunuchs in the past. It is worthy of being cut into specimens and studied carefully. Qiu Shiliang has been authoritative for more than 20 years since he entered the palace. After Tang Wuzong came to the throne, Qiu Shiliang's salary only increased, but he knew that he had passed his peak, so he gave up when he was good and took the initiative to request retirement. , all the eunuchs in the palace sent him back to his house, and asked him for advice on how to be as awesome as him. Qiu Shiliang laughed and said: "" Seeing that you are sensible, I will teach you a trick today. "So all the eunuchs quickly took out their notebooks and began to listen attentively. Qiu Shiliang raised his orchid finger and said seriously: ""We eunuchs, if we want to live comfortably in the palace, we must remember our family's saying: Ten million yuan." Don't leave the emperor idle! " He paused and then said: " "Why do you say that?" Because once the emperor has free time, he will definitely read and study. Once he studies, he will understand the gains and losses of the past dynasties, and he will alienate people like us. Moreover, once the emperor gained some skills, he had to meet with ministers, and those scholars liked to give advice and advise the emperor to be far-sighted, diligent and frugal, and to treat scholars favorably. Think about it, if the emperor doesn't pay attention to food, clothing, or entertainment, and spends all day discussing with ministers how to govern and secure the country, where will there be any use for us! "The eunuchs were busy taking notes while nodding their heads like chickens pecking at rice. These are all wise words! Qiu Shiliang warned the eunuchs earnestly: "We, we have to let the emperor think about how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. How to fight cocks and walk dogs, how to go on tours, indulge in extravagance, and play all day and night. In this way, the emperor will no longer have the energy to govern the country and secure the country, and he will inevitably alienate those scholars and trust those of us around him. When the time comes, all the power inside and outside will be in our hands, so why worry about not getting rich? "All the eunuchs fell to the ground in admiration and gave thumbs up: ""High, it's really high!" "So, beside every degenerate leader, there is a person like Qiu Shiliang. The more degenerate the leader, the happier Qiu Shiliang. The darker the society, the happier Qiu Shiliang. And Qiu Shiliang's "experience" also tells us that they What I fear the most is the scholar. The ancients said: “Using history as a mirror, we can understand gains and losses.

" "So, friends, you must read more, especially history books, in order to be clear-sighted, otherwise you may not even be able to be a eunuch!
