The struggle between parties and masses in the Ming Dynasty was the most prominent among ancient Chinese dynasties, and among these parties and masses, the eunuchs in the palace were often the leaders. In the Ming Dynasty, a very famous Wei Zhongxian appeared. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, there was not only Wei Zhongxian, a great eunuch who was blinded by power, but also an upright eunuch who did not protect his family and country. In the Ming Dynasty, the great eunuch would hold the last position as the eunuch in charge of etiquette, that is, the leader of the East Factory.
The atmosphere in Dongchang during the Ming Dynasty was not very good. Most of the leaders of Dongchang used their power to do unjust things. After all, the nature of Dongchang is not very respectable. However, there was a eunuch in charge of Li Si in both the government and the public who wrote the book, but he always adhered to his eight-character motto, "The teachings of the ancestors, the way of the saints." He is Chen Ju, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty. People who are not familiar with Chen Ju are not very clear about this matter, but everyone must know about the emperor he served. The Wanli Emperor Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun, who has been retrieving the pot, said that "the Ming Dynasty actually died in Wanli".
There is only one Emperor Wanli in history. Although the "Wanli ZTE" situation occurred during his reign, he neglected political affairs behind the scenes, even though he did not go to court for nearly 30 years. After that, the Ming Dynasty began to decline rapidly. Under this situation, the Ming Dynasty continued to operate. It is obvious that although Emperor Wanli did not go to court, he still had ways to control the country, which obviously included institutions such as Dongchang. Chen Ju entered the palace in the 26th year of Jiajing's reign and was given the name Gao Zhong, the eunuch and eunuch responsible for rituals. He was only nine years old at the time.
After entering the palace, he has been studying with the great eunuch. He did not learn the skills of fighting in the palace, but he was moved by Gao Zhong. In the 29th year of Jing Dynasty, Anda led his troops to rob the border and approached the capital from behind. Eunuch Gao Zhong was fully armed and participated in the defense and made great contributions. Chen Ju admired Gaozong's spirit of protecting his family and the country, so he determined to eliminate harm for the people and govern the country. Since then, he has been interested in political affairs. And he has always adhered to his eight-character motto "Patriarchal precepts, sages and truth." He never considered his own interests when working under Emperor Wanli. He only wanted to serve the emperor better and abide by the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty. He always acts in accordance with the law and does not use his power to oppress the people, nor does he use his power to show off his power. When he goes out of the palace to do things, he does not work hard, tries not to disturb the people, and does not alert the local officials, so many people think that such a good man must be a Bodhisattva.
In the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, Chen Ju was appointed eunuch and officially became the leader of Dongchang. However, he still adhered to his principles and was not tempted by power. He has been advising Zong Shen to correct his immoral behavior, and often persuades Zong Shen when he is about to commit immoral behavior. In the thirty-first year of Wanli, a great evil book case occurred that shocked the government and the public. Many people were involved in this case. Because many officials were involved, the god ordered Chen Ke and Jin Yiwei to investigate the source of the evil spell. At that time, various forces had different approaches. Some people wanted to use this matter to suppress dissidents, and some wanted to use Chen Ju's status to trip up some people, but Chen Ju rejected them sternly. Later, a gangster in Beijing named Shengguang gave it to him on New Year's Eve to calm down the chaos as soon as possible. For the officials who Chen Ke had helped, Chen Ke just bowed to them and thanked them. After that, more officials in Beijing admired him as a man.
In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, Chen Ju died sitting in the inner room. Before his death, he had buried a piece of land next to Ciqian Temple in Xiangshan and built a stone tower on the mound, which was named Taiji Zhenshan Tower. After his death, all civil and military officials went to pay their respects in person, and so many people in plain clothes went to the funeral that the roads were blocked. There were few eunuchs in history that the emperor was so reluctant to part with.
