Cao, the most famous eunuch in Ming Dynasty, was Wang Qingtuo, a native of Wuqing. Born on the fourth day of December in the seventeenth year of Wanli, he died on May 14th in the first year of Kangxi (1589- 1662). When I was a child, my family was poor and I entered the palace at the age of 12 or 13, which was influenced by the atmosphere of "pro-king and pro-family". Because of his talent and wisdom, he was studious and received a good education in the palace. He is proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, won the appreciation of eunuch Wang An, and relied heavily on him as a confidant. Later, he joined Xinwang to accompany and serve Zhu Youjian, the grandson of the Five Emperors. At the beginning of the apocalypse, eunuch Wei Zhongxian was favored, played politics, killed Wang An, was implicated, was expelled from Beijing, and was sent to stay in Nanjing for punishment. 1628, Zhu Youjian succeeded to the throne and changed to Chongzhen, and Cao Huachun was immediately recalled and entrusted with an important task; Responsible for clearing up more than 2,000 unjust, false and misjudged cases and rehabilitating cases in Wei Zhongxian. Because of his fruitful work, he won the trust and reliance of Emperor Chongzhen. By the fourth year of Chongzhen, Cao Huachun's position in the palace had been quite prominent. That summer, Cao Huachun presided over the construction of Xuandi Hall and Guanyin Pavilion in his hometown of Wang Qingtuo, and wrote an inscription.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, Zheng Rong, the eunuch appointed as Li Si and the general prefect of Beijing Camp, took a leave of absence due to illness, and even went to Emperor Chongzhen for three days' leave.

In February of the 12th year of Chongzhen, Cao Huachun was allowed to return to China.

There are five brothers in Cao Huachun, three brothers become rich, four brothers become diligent and lose their lives early, and Cao Huachun has the closest relationship with the second brother who is an official in the same dynasty. On June 6, the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Cao Huayu died of illness. As his elder brother aged in the spring, Cao Huachun personally arranged the funeral, erection of the monument and construction of the pavilion in the following spring. Shen Jia in March, Cao Huachun is not in Beijing. By then, he had lived in his hometown for six years.

In May, Shen Jia, the Qing army went to Beijing to mourn for Emperor Chongzhen for three days, and posthumously awarded the temple name Huaizong. In October, Shunzhi moved to Beijing, and Cao Huachun went to Shangshu, so please take care of Zongdi Mausoleum. With permission, the Commissioner supervises the affairs of Premier Zhao Ran.

At this time, Bai Yang of Shuntianfu and Yang Shimao of Wanping reported to Cao Huachun respectively that they "opened the door to meet thieves, thieves entered the city, and became attendants. Now they have entered Beijing and resumed their attendants. Although this traitor is not enough to convince the people. " Cao Huachun argued wrongly and fiercely. Ordered that "Cao Huachun was wronged for no reason, and he knew clearly that there was no need to dissect it, and the Ministry also knew it."

After Shen Jia, the theory of open door is still widely circulated. When reading Notes on Southern unofficial history, Cao Huachun found that there were still "false words" in it, fearing that "if it is widely circulated, it will become infinite filth if the author doesn't verify it". 1662 before his death, he wrote four false wills and sentimental poems, and copied the old manuscripts "Story Notes" and "Dissection of Chen Shu Draft". Forgotten wills and sentimental poems were copied by Cao Shi's descendants and are still intact. The will is very long, written in classical Chinese, and the emotional poem is sincere, full of resentment and helplessness. For example, the poem "Historical Records Suddenly Coming to the South with the Feeling of Slander" wrote: "Who did you falsely accuse for no reason? I have been slandered at home for six years, and I believe that the past is untrue. "

However, I think the general movies or TV plays seem to be based on another big eunuch in the Ming Dynasty. Wei Zhongxian, who was born as a rogue, was a eunuch under Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of Wanli. He was very lucky. By the school acceded to the throne, for the sake of Xizong, illiterate Wei Zhongxian was promoted to prison eunuch! He selected eunuchs who knew martial arts in the palace to form an armed force of ten thousand people as two wings; Outside, a large number of shameless officials were recruited as minions of adopted sons and called "eunuchs". Civil servants include Cui Chengxiu and other "Five Tigers", military commanders include Tian Ergeng and other "Five Tigers", as well as "Ten Boys" and "Forty Grandsons". "From the Cabinet, the Six Departments to the governors, they have established close friends" (Biography of Wei Zhongxian in Ming Dynasty). He criticized the red pen and mastered state affairs, from record to bailiff, all of which were hand-picked by him; He has military power and can appoint and dismiss governors and ministers at will; He also holds the economic power, sending trusted eunuchs, governors, warehouses in Shi Jing and Tongzhou, inspecting waterway transportation, and sending tax inspectors to search for people's wealth. "All internal and external powers are loyal to virtuous people" (ibid.). He went out like an emperor. Wherever he went, the literati knelt on the side of the road and shouted "Nine years old". Yandang and shameless officials are also competing to build temples for him everywhere. A shrine costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. After the completion of the shrine, local officials enjoyed it in the Spring and Autumn Period, and officials and people entered the shrine.

Wei Zhongxian's authoritarian, factory health personnel is unprecedented arrogance. In the third year of the Apocalypse (1623), Xizong became the prefect of the East Factory. The commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards is his adopted son Tian Ergeng. Collusion between factory and health, unjust imprisonment, mistreatment of dissident officials, extortion of money and oppression of the people. "Folk words, or touching words of loyalty and virtue, need to be captured, even skinned and pouted, and countless people have been killed." (Biography of Wei Zhongxian in Ming Dynasty) Once, four civilians in Beijing were drinking in the secret room at night. One was drunk and the other three were afraid to make any noise. Before the bristle sounded, several servants rushed in and arrested four people to see Wei Zhongxian. Wei ordered the scolded person to be skinned on the spot, and the other three people were rewarded with money. The survivors were frightened out of their wits and became crazy. Wei Zhongxian ravaged the dictatorship for seven years, which intensified various social contradictions in the late Ming Dynasty and accelerated the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.
