浅论唐、明两代宦官专权的不同

An essay about the discrepancy of eunuchs' monopolizing power in the Tang and Ming dynasties

唐后期的阉寺之权在皇权之上 ,明代中后期的阉寺之权则在皇权之下。这一迥然差异的表层原因在于阉寺是否握有兵权 ,而其深层原因则在于两代的军事制度截然不同。

Emperors were under the control of senior eunuchs in the late period of the Tang Dynasty,but emperors could firmly control senio reunuchs in the middle and late periods of the Ming Dynasty.The surface difference of the facts is whether the eunuchs had controls over military power, but the deep difference lies in the military systems of the two dynasties.
