Now.
He first helped Yu Wenzhu, who was inexperienced, formulated a “harem patrol plan”, starting from reviewing whether the allowances for concubines, palace maids and eunuchs were misappropriated, and beat the palace in turn.
The institution in charge of harem affairs in the Tang Dynasty was called the Eunuch Province, which was managed by eunuchs.
In history, Emperor Taizong of Tang was wary of the autocracy of eunuchs, and stipulated that the provincial eunuchs would not have third-rank officials, and the eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the foreign court.
However, among eunuchs, there is one exception.
This exception also appeared in the current time and space. Li Xuanba took Yu Wenzhu to find this “exception” – Ananda Zhang.
On the way, Li Xuanba introduced Zhang Ananda’s identity to Yuwenzhu.
Ananda Zhang was the dowry of Empress Xiao. He was originally an eunuch in Empress Xiao’s harem and also an eunuch in the prince Yang Zhao’s mansion. Later, he returned to Yang Guang’s side.
Li Xuanba didn’t know how Li Yuan and Emperor Taizong of Tang met Ananda Zhang in history. Ananda Zhang was granted official title for his merits during the siege of Yanmen. It is most likely that Ananda Zhang, who Li Shimin met during the siege of Yanmen.
How did a 16-year-old young man who had just started on the battlefield meet Yang Guang’s close servants in the siege of Yanmen? In the inside story, Li Xuanba’s imagination was insufficient and he couldn’t think of it.
The final result was that Ananda Zhang participated in the uprising of the Jinyang army and entered the Qin Palace. He was granted the title of Marquis of Wenjiang and had a fief of 700 households. He served as the governor of the eunuch for his whole life. When he died, he was appointed as the general of the Left Supervision Gate of the Third-rank Left Supervision Gate and was buried with Zhaoling.
Emperor Taizong of Tang stipulated that the highest officer of the provincial eunuch shall not exceed the third rank, so the highest officer of the provincial eunuch shall only be in the fourth rank. But Ananda Zhang not only reached the third rank, but also took charge of the imperial guards, breaking the rules that eunuchs were not allowed to be third rank officials and were not allowed to interfere in politics.
Later, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was named general to eunuchs, which was to follow the old rules of Emperor Taizong of Tang.
It is very common for the emperor to make rules and then break them by himself. Emperor Taizong of Tang also had sufficient reasons. The other eunuchs were just servants who served others and naturally could not be promoted. But Ananda Zhang was a founding hero and he could not be regarded as a eunuch.
But later generations knew what Emperor Taizong meant, and when using this old example, they would not follow the original intention of Emperor Taizong. They just wanted to reuse eunuchs, so they just made excuses. There is no such excuse, there are other excuses.
In this life, he and his second brother met Ananda Zhang when they accompanied Yang Guang to Jiangnan.
At that time, he and his second brother were taken by Queen Xiao, and Ananda Zhang was the one who was responsible for taking care of them.
When Ananda Zhang followed Yang Zhao, they had a good relationship with their eldest cousin and were also very familiar with Ananda Zhang.
After Yang Zhao passed away, Ananda Zhang returned to Yang Guang. Like the original history, he made military achievements in Yanmen County. He was appointed by Yang Guang to be a foreign official and sent to Taiyuan, and still participated in the uprising of the Jinyang army.
During the Sui Dynasty, Ananda Zhang was the two brothers.The inner responder in the Sui Dynasty palace; when he arrived by Li Yuan, he was the eyeliner of the two brothers. Although he failed to go to the battle with Li Shimin, there were not many powerful generals around Li Yuan, and he also made great achievements in defending Taiyuan.
Both brothers were in a dilemma for how to give Zhang Ananda official title.
If Ananda Zhang was not a eunuch, it would be no exaggeration to be named a general with his merits and abilities. Although both brothers knew that eunuchs should not interfere in politics, because Zhang Ananda was unable to enter the palace when he was young, he could not fulfill his merits after he made it, and it was difficult for both brothers to accept it.
Li Xuanba understood the entanglement and boredom in Emperor Taizong of Tang.
Emperor Taizong of Tang started his career with military merits and was strict in governing the military. He would reward him with all his merits. Ananda Zhang is his subordinate. If he makes meritorious service, he will be obsessed with obsessive-compulsive disorder in the military.
Li Xuanba decided to show off his bad luck.
He told his second brother about the eunuch’s autocracy later, and left, letting his second brother decide for himself.
The emperor must make autocratic power. How could he, a small king of Jin, usurp?
A few days later, Li Shimin had a dark eye and decided to give Zhang Ananda the treatment he deserved.
