The Imperial Palace was the place where the ancient royal family lived, and it was also an important place for political and cultural activities. In such a special place, there were people in positions who often came and went, and even the emperor could not guard against them. Let's take a look at these special positions.
Eunuchs were a type of court official in ancient China, and their main duty was to serve and protect the emperor and his family. Since they have lived in the palace for many years, they are very familiar with the various conditions of the palace, including various secret passages and secret passages. Thus, at a critical moment, they could quickly lead the emperor and his family out of danger.
It also means that they will be the object of a power struggle because they know too much information and there are no descendants to inherit the rights.
The head of the internal affairs office was a position during the Ming Dynasty, and his main task was to manage all the affairs inside the palace, such as finances, food**, etc. This position is very important, because only he knows the true expenses of the imperial palace, and it is also a large knife in his hand that can directly threaten the safety of the imperial power. However, he also needs to be careful not to be framed by other powerful ministers.
The head of the imperial dining room. This position may seem insignificant, but in fact it has an important role. As chefs, they are not only responsible for preparing delicious food for the emperor, but more importantly, to understand the emperor's tastes and be able to adjust the taste and nutritional content of the food according to the emperor's physical condition.
By studying the food that the emperor liked, it was also possible to see the emperor's mood changes. If a person is able to make the emperor satisfied, then he is likely to gain more trust and support.
The last profession is the caretaker of the Forbidden City. Although this position may seem simple, it is actually a very critical part. They are the front-line guardians of the Forbidden City and need to check the situation in various areas on a daily basis to prevent any wrongdoing. At the same time, they also need to be vigilant in case any suspicious person enters.
Those who work in this position must have a high sense of responsibility and keen observation, otherwise it may bring serious consequences to the entire Forbidden City.
Each of these four professions in the palace has its own unique characteristics, and they all come and go in and out of the palace frequently, and sometimes even the emperor cannot guard against them. They safeguarded the interests of the royal family in their own way, and also influenced the course of history to a certain extent.
Although there is no longer such a specialized profession in modern society, we must not forget those who once left their mark on history. They have traded their lives for the stability and development of the country, and we should remember their contributions.
