People all know that the traitor Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch, so it seems unnecessary to discuss whether he has descendants. Wei Zhongxian entered the palace at the age of 21. He was married before he became a eunuch and had a daughter.

Because Wei Zhongxian was born in a poor family when he was young, and he liked to gamble with others, it was really disgraceful to decide to enter the palace as a eunuch in order to avoid debts. In order to chip in, he sold his daughter in the market. Now I only know that his daughter was sold to a family named Yang as a child bride, and when she grew up, she lived a poor and ordinary life, so Wei Zhongxian was for direct descendants. Maybe Wei Zhongxian has relatives, and they must have descendants. After Wei Zhongxian took office, he received many adopted sons, but they all saw that it was profitable to attach to Wei Zhongxian, and there was no general affection between father and son. After Wei Zhongxian's death, these people quickly fell apart and tried to keep their distance from Wei Zhongxian, so it is impossible to think that they are descendants of a big traitor. In addition, Wei Zhongxian did many bad things before his death, and the people hated him. As long as you meet relatives of Wei Zhongxian, everyone wants to smash them, so even relatives of Wei Zhongxian changed their names to avoid disaster, and lived an anonymous life, but they were afraid to show off, so it is difficult to find descendants of Wei Zhongxian now.
However, due to the market economy, people want some places to have certain tourism value, such as the former residence of celebrities, so a small fishing village in Jimo, Shandong Province claimed that Amin and Qinglou in the village were the former residence of Wei Zhongxian. The old man in the village said that the owner of this family was a eunuch from Hebei, so he suspected that it was Wei Zhongxian. It's just true and false, and opinions vary.
Wei Zhongxian's daughter.
Everyone must think it's ridiculous. Everyone knows that Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch, and eunuchs can't have offspring. When he entered the palace, he colluded with the nanny Hakka of the Crown Prince and did evil in the palace. Many people are afraid of them, even the emperor's concubines and even the queen's children. This is a bad thing. Everyone hates it, but they dare to say it.

But Wei Zhongxian has a daughter, which is not fiction, but real history. It turns out that Wei Zhongxian entered the palace voluntarily. He became a eunuch at the age of twenty-one. He got married in his hometown and has a daughter. However, Wei Zhongxian was idle, penniless, unable to support his family and owed gambling debts, so he simply sold his daughter cruelly in the market in exchange for Beijing's travel expenses. Later, his daughter became the Yang family's child bride.
Later, Wei Zhongxian married the Crown Prince's wet nurse Hakka in the palace. In order to expand his power, he accepted many people who were good at flattering him and giving him large bribes as adopted sons. This has caused a very interesting phenomenon, that is, Wei Zhongxian is known as the eunuch of the world, but people all over the country claim to be the son of Wei Zhongxian. They do bad things under the banner of Wei Zhongxian, and everyone is deeply interested in these people. What a ridiculous thing it is. Even those * * * people are proud to be Wei Zhongxian's adopted son, because it can bring them many benefits and also take the opportunity to attack their enemies and political opponents. In contrast, Wei Zhongxian's own daughter was a child bride of other people's family since she was a child, and she was left out by her husband's family and lived in poverty. She may not know that she has a powerful father who is hated by everyone. I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse.
Wei Zhongxian's son
As we all know, Wei Zhongxian didn't enter the palace when he was a child, but only after he got married did he enter the palace to be a eunuch, so Wei Zhongxian had a child, but it wasn't a son. Wei Zhongxian married a young man before entering the palace, and they had a daughter after marriage. They have never had children since they entered the palace at the age of 22. Wei Zhongxian forced his wife, Yang, to remarry before entering the palace. Wei Zhongxian was addicted to gambling, owed * * * gambling debts, and took his daughter to pay off debts. Having such an irresponsible husband and father is also the sorrow of Yang and the little girl.

But as Wei Zhongxian gained power in the palace, more and more people began to curry favor with Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian recognized many semes. In addition to many semes among the people, Wei Zhongxian is actually his minion, and there are also many people among the civil and military officials begging to recognize Wei Zhongxian as michel platini. Among them, Cui Chengxiu is the most important. Cui Chengxiu met Wei Zhongxian after a brief encounter. Cui Chengxiu begged people in Wei Zhongxian to be his adopted son, and then Cui Chengxiu became Wei Zhongxian's confidant. Cui Chengxiu, on the other hand, relies on Wei Zhongxian's influence to do evil everywhere, take bribes and bend the law, and commit all kinds of crimes.
In folk Wei Zhongxian, there are also various adopted sons and grandchildren. Five tigers, five dogs, ten sons and forty grandsons are all forces of Wei Zhongxian. These little people are also very pushy, and they can do anything to flatter Wei Zhongxian. The most exaggerated thing is that these people set up a "shrine" for Wei Zhongxian among the people and flatter Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian also compared himself to Confucius, a sage. Lu Wanling, a Guo Jian Zi, even asked to sacrifice Wei Zhongxian to Confucius and Wei Zhongxian's father to Kay Gong Sheng.
How bad is Wei Zhongxian?
Wei Zhongxian entered the life circle of Zhu Youxiao through the Hakka, who was Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse, raised Zhu Youxiao and had a deep affection for Zhu Youxiao. Wei Zhongxian has an unusual relationship with Hakkas, so they collude with each other and dominate the state affairs.

How good was Wei Zhongxian at that time? Wei Zhongxian has five tigers, five dogs, ten sons and forty grandsons among the people. All these people are using the name of Wei Zhongxian to bully the city and harm others and themselves. Moreover, officials in many places did their best to flatter Wei Zhongxian, exaggerating to build a shrine for him. From the governor to the common people, ancestral temples were built for Wei Zhongxian. They seized the people's land and built a very beautiful ancestral temple. They cut down trees and pushed other people's graves, and no one dared to say.
What is even more incredible is that Wei Zhongxian, an illiterate person, actually achieved the position of "writing eunuch". There was no prime minister in the Ming Dynasty, and all the memorials had to be approved by Emperor Zhu, but sometimes things were more complicated, and many times the emperor could not handle so many things by himself, so there was a system of eunuch ghostwriting Zhu. Wei Zhongxian, who became a eunuch, was illiterate, but he was able to influence the government's policies. It can be said that this is simply an incredible thing.
