Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan lamented that when Shu Han perished, he failed to get rid of Huang Hao and others. That is to say, in Zhuge Zhan's view, the disaster of Huang Hao was one of the reasons that accelerated the demise of Shu Han. Jiang Wei also hates eunuch Huang Hao. He once said to him: Hao is cunning and willful. He will defeat this country. Please kill him! ? However, Liu Chan of the latter is not favored by Huang Hao. Then, the question is, why didn't Zhuge Liang get rid of Huang Hao when he was in Shu Han, so as to avoid endless future troubles?

First of all, Zhuge Liang has the ability to get rid of Huang Hao. In February of the third year of Zhang Wu (223), Liu Bei was seriously ill. He called Zhuge Liang to Yong 'an and handed things over to Li Yan. Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang: You are ten times older than Cao Pi. You will be able to settle down in this country and finally achieve great success. If the heir (Liu Chan) can help him, help him; If he has no talent, you can get his own degree. ? Zhuge Liang said with tears: I will try my best to serve the faithful solar terms until I die. ? Liu Bei asked Liu Chan to regard Zhuge Liang as his father. In April, Liu Bei died, and Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, making Zhuge Liang the marquis of Wuxiang. Since then, almost all the affairs of Shu Han have been handled by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
However, although Zhuge Liang had the power of Shu Han, he did not get rid of Huang Hao. The main reasons are as follows. On the one hand, this is because before Zhuge Liang was alive, Huang Hao not only did not have the right to lean towards the government and the people, but also did not reach the point of disturbing the government. In May 223, Liu Chan, aged 17, proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu. Liu Chan trusted eunuch Huang Hao when he grew up. Huang Hao praised him, and then he climbed up. Therefore, for Huang Hao, as a eunuch serving Queen Liu Chan, his age should be Liu Chan, and there is no obvious difference. For Huang Hao at that time, he was probably ambitious. However, because the power of Shu Han was in Zhuge Liang's hands, although Huang Hao gained the trust of Liu Chan, it still failed to set off a huge wave.

Of course, for Zhuge Liang, maybe he knew such a wicked man as Huang Hao. Therefore, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Chan in Separation of Master and Apprentices. The reason why the Han Dynasty flourished was that it was close to the virtuous officials and far away from the wicked. The Han dynasty was decadent from then on. When the late Emperor was around, every time I discussed this matter with ministers, I would sigh and hate Huan and Ling. The court ministers, Shangshu, Changshu and the army are all officials who know the truth about Zhen Liang's death. May your majesty personally believe that the prosperity of the Han dynasty can be counted on. ? On the other hand, Zhuge Liang was not worried that Huang Hao would bring trouble to the court, because when he was in the northern expedition to the Central Plains, he left some commendable ministers, such as Dong Yun, to assist Queen Liu Chan in Chengdu.
