After the middle Tang Dynasty, the imperial power was marginalized, which was a local separatist regime. At the central level, eunuchs were in power, and the emperor was even supported by eunuchs. Li once supported Li Yu, the first eunuch in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yu's son, who mutinied in Jingyuan Town. Dezong did not dare to trust others, but only trusted eunuchs, and the power of eunuchs was further expanded.
During the period of Tang Shunzong and Li Yong, the king initiated the political reform, angered the eunuchs, forced Shunzong to abdicate, and the eunuchs monopolized the power. Tang Xianzong, Chun Li and SHEN WOO were wise, and the eunuch's power was reduced. Tang Wenzong Wang Anshi and civil servants killed eunuchs. The result failed and was shelved by eunuch Chou Shiliang. Eunuchs, Tian and Yang Fuguong were autocratic until the warlord Zhu Wen entered Beijing, and so were eunuchs.
