Who was the most controversial traitor in history? He was prosperous in the country, but after his death, the country went from prosperity to decline?
There were many controversial treacherous officials in Chinese history, one of which was the famous eunuch Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty. Wei Zhongxian was born into a eunuch family and was valued in the early Ming Dynasty because of his talent and wit. He had once served as the emperor's attendant scholar and played a huge role by the emperor's side. He was gradually promoted to a scholar in Zhongxian Hall, a minister of war, and other high-level positions. Under Wei Zhongxian's rule, the Ming Dynasty was corrupt, the army was out of control, society was in turmoil, and the economy was in serious trouble. Even so, Wei Zhongxian was still regarded as a loyal minister and was respected and trusted by the emperor. However, Wei Zhongxian's power gradually expanded. He began to abuse his power to suppress dissidents and even secretly manipulate political struggles. Under his rule, the Ming Dynasty's politics were dark and the people lived in poverty. The country gradually declined from prosperity to decline, which eventually led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian was regarded as a controversial traitor in Chinese history. His rule had a profound impact on the politics, economy and society of the Ming Dynasty, but his abuse of power also led to the decline and destruction of the country.
