Before and after Empress Dowager Cixi, there were two eunuchs who were deeply loved. The first one, An Dehai, was killed by the minister because he was too arrogant. Therefore, Li was promoted to the position of general manager, and he has been biting the hand that feeds him. Companions are like tigers, and the relationship between the palace is complicated. No one can tell which cloud has rain under it, but Li can exist forever. Apart from things outside his body, there are also reasons why he is good at dealing with all kinds of people and takes the blame for himself everywhere. Rong Er, the personal maid of Empress Dowager Cixi, especially recalled Li's way of dealing with people in Talking about Maids.

In the 14th year of Guangxu, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered the Seventh Ancestor to inspect the Beiyang Navy, accompanied by Li. It was the first time in Qing Dynasty that eunuchs visited the navy as imperial envoys. This is a "favor", but it is also a trouble. Eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty were not allowed to ask about politics, thinking that An Dehai was beheaded when he was ordered to leave Beijing.

Before he left, Li changed his second-class hat into a fourth-class hat, because the ancestral eunuch was forbidden to be fourth-class. On the ship, he didn't live in the luxurious cabin prepared for him, which was second only to the seven princes. He said, "How can I compare with Seven Kings and Li?" He insisted on living in the suite of the Seven Princes, away from any official. During the day, he just stood in front of the seven princes and waited on them, keeping his eyebrows down and his eyes closed. In the evening, he prepared hot water and washed his feet. Moved by the seven princes, he surrendered many times. After coming back from a business trip, the seven emperors and Li Hongzhang competed to praise Cixi, and Cixi was even more horizontal. She felt that he had exposed himself, quarreled and gagged a group of courtiers.

As the manager of eunuchs, Li always secretly protects his opponents with kindness and kindness, so eunuchs are obedient to him and willing to get close to him.

The discord between Cixi and Guangxu is even more difficult for those who work under them. With the queen mother's intention, he offended the emperor everywhere; If the queen mother leaves early, she will have to move her head a hundred years later. If you don't obey the queen mother's wishes, your life will be in trouble at once. After the Reform Movement of 1898, this contradiction became more obvious. Li specially arranged for another eunuch, Cui Yugui, to be in favor, to monitor Guangxu in Yingtai and push Zhenfei into the well, all of which were done by Cui Yugui. Lee avoided these things without showing any trace. When Gengzi fled back to the road, he devoted himself to Guangxu and secretly ambushed Guangxu's affection for him.

Also, in case the Empress Dowager Cixi visits one day, the backstage of a valet will be gone, and it will be finished immediately. Once every emperor and courtiers are in the imperial court, they will be kicked away immediately when they are not needed. What's more, manager Li is in charge of everything? He was soberly aware of this and was prepared. He collected seven boxes of treasures enjoyed by Empress Dowager Cixi for many years. One hundred days after Cixi's death, he gave them to the Jade Dragon Queen. He said: this is a royal matter and should not flow into the people. I have been carefully preserved for the royal family for decades, and now I am old and weak, begging to leave the court. All these treasures were returned to my master. This incident puzzled Yulong very much, so despite the death of the Queen Mother, Yulong was kind to him as soon as possible. After his death, Yulong rewarded 2200 yuan for funeral expenses according to the gift of the minister.

Li has never been seen since he left the palace. No one knows where he lives, including his disciples.

As for writing a book, I have never heard of it!
