Trapped in a Cocoon

Chu Zhu knew that he was good-looking since he was a child. His father was the adopted son of the great eunuch Chu Ning. In the Yu Dynasty, when young emperors succeeded eunuchs to the throne, it was common for relatives to gain power. The relatives moved closer to the gentry, and the eunuchs became the closest political group to the emperor's imperial power. The nobles controlled large-scale farms, were wealthy and had many disciples, and their disciples and former officials were spread throughout the government and the public. The reputation of eunuchs was too bad and their foundation was weak. After leaving the palace and leaving the emperor, no one would rely on eunuchs anymore. The local wealthy families did not have the protection of their ancestors and political privileges, so they could not integrate into the circle of gentry for a while. They could only enter the imperial court and hold important positions by colluding with relatives and eunuchs to become a member of their group. Chu Zhu relied on his grandfather's identity to become an ordinary official. Because he was not old enough, he could only serve as a minor official. The Chu brothers, whom Chu Zhu met when he was young, held important positions in the court. The Chu brothers and their family wanted to unite with their relatives to eliminate the power of the eunuchs, so they specially ordered the local generals of the imperial court who had put down the rebellion and took over military power to enter the capital. Before they entered the capital, they heard that the emperor had died and that the young prince had succeeded him. The eunuch forces were aware of it, and on the night of the emperor's death, they used the queen's order to appoint his brother to the official position. The Chu brothers were outside the palace and prepared to listen to the signal to kill the eunuch forces. After hearing that the queen's brother was killed, they entered the palace to kill the eunuchs. The local officials came to the capital after hearing that the eunuchs and relatives had been killed. The gentry in the capital had little military power left, and they began to think about establishing other royal children as emperors and controlling the power in the capital. Not long after the prince succeeded to the throne, Chu Zhu participated in another coup. The Chu brothers were defeated and fled the capital. The noble family was killed and they heard about the cruelty of those in power. The world was shaken, and various places responded. Chu Zhu realized that he should also escape from the capital. At that time, Chu Zhu still had the idea of ​​reviving the Yu Dynasty, and wanted to join forces with others to punish the thieves. Chu Zhu specifically used the name of the rebellious ministers and thieves he assassinated to gain a good reputation. Everyone else had their own concerns. Chu Zhu still had a sincere heart and wanted to rescue the emperor first. Others were busy carving up the territory and grabbing resources. Chu Zhu had the smallest power and lost most of his troops in rescuing the emperor. You can only rely on others. No one wanted to hand over the real power to the emperor. In the end, he welcomed the emperor back, and Chu Zhu finally became the rebellious minister and traitor he called him at the time. In the end, because of this name, he parted ways with his friends and turned against his lover. In the end, Chu Zhu just trapped himself in a cocoon.
