About the title of eunuch

The eunuchs with high positions in the Ming Dynasty also called themselves "subjects". Because the emperors of the Ming Dynasty themselves often called eunuchs "factory ministers" and "internal ministers", eunuchs also regarded themselves as ministers rather than slaves. "Slaves" was a vocabulary invented by the Qing Dynasty. "History of Ming Dynasty" was compiled by the Qing government, so they took it for granted that eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty also called themselves "slaves", so they left wrong records.

A memorial from an eunuch in Zhengde period: "Only the eunuch in charge of the eunuch in charge of the place, whenever he arrives, he will provide a hundred servants and his husband with an unknown sign..."

The little eunuch with a low status in the Ming Dynasty called himself "villain" and "small". This title is the same as that of ordinary people. The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty without slaves. According to research, those with old qualifications may also be humbly called old slaves.

In this book, Bahu and Zhu Houzhao are of different ages, so their wife calls herself an old slave.
