Relying on the favor of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Andehai acted unscrupulously and domineeringly, without knowing how to restrain himself, and ended up with his head in a different place. Li Lianying learned lessons from An Dehai. The more favored the Empress Dowager Cixi was to him, the more respectful he became. In the end, Li Lianying enjoyed all the glory and wealth in her life and became the ceiling among eunuchs. Empress Dowager Cixi broke the ancestral system and promoted Li Lianying to a second-grade eunuch in charge of the Forbidden City. Xiaode Zhang was a great eunuch in the late Qing Dynasty. He served Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Dowager Longyu. He was clever and good at strategy, and he eventually died.
