Who were the eunuchs who wore yellow robes in the Qing Dynasty?

During the Qing dynasty, there were no eunuchs who were really "dressed in yellow robes", but there were many eunuchs who monopolized power.

These people are all related to Empress Dowager Cixi. Empress Dowager Cixi herself relied on eunuchs to become the empress dowager, or just as the widow of the first emperor who spent her life in the harem.

Legend has it that the eunuch wearing a yellow robe is An Dehai. An Dehai was originally a personal eunuch of Emperor Xianfeng. Under his control, Lan Guiren, who was not noticed by people, and later Cixi were all favored by Emperor Xianfeng.

After the death of Emperor Xianfeng, he helped Lan Guiren return to the palace to become Cixi.

So it can be said that without An Dehai, there would be no Empress Dowager Cixi. So An Dehai wore a dragon robe for Cixi to see, and Cixi felt that there was no harm. After all, the prosperity of Cixi can't be separated from An Dehai's help, just like Cixi's second parents.

There is also a eunuch who is also a red man in front of Cixi-Li.

Although Li didn't wear a yellow robe like An Dehai, he was also a eunuch with power in one's hand and in one's hand around Cixi. An Dehai was so popular that he was later beaten to death by Emperor Tongzhi. On the other hand, Li has always been very clever in serving Cixi.

In fact, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are different. In the Ming Dynasty, the East Factory was set up by Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, which led to eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian's autocratic power behind the scenes. When establishing the system in the Qing Dynasty, it was considered comprehensively, and eunuchs were not allowed to be officials, nor were they allowed to interfere in state affairs.

And the eunuchs in the Qing dynasty had a hard time. When they were alive, their status was very low. If you die, you will be thrown into the barren hills, and there are layers of restrictions. These restrictions make eunuchs busy with infighting and never grow up.

The appearance of two great eunuchs, An Dehai and Li, was also related to the corruption of the late Qing government. Others are heroes created by the times, and this is the great eunuch hatched by the times.
