The personal bodyguard has excellent martial arts. Isn't the emperor afraid of being assassinated by bodyguards?

The most risky job in ancient China was obviously the emperor. As the saying goes, "wealth touches people's hearts", the emperor himself represents not only some wealth, but also supreme power. In the words of the ancients, it was "expensive", so the emperor often suffered from many dangers. For example, Jing Ke stabbed the king of Qin, which was desperate. Zhuan Xu stabbed Liao Wang, which was a sword to hide fish intestines, and even bought fish intestines.

It is precisely because of the great risks that emperors have to face that they attach great importance to their own safety. The capital not only has the so-called Guards, Guards, Jin Wu and other troops, but also has a private guard dedicated to protecting itself. Of course, bodyguards have different names in different historical periods. For example, Zhan Zhao in the Song Dynasty was a "bodyguard with a knife", and Xiao Shenyang in the Qing Dynasty was an ouchi bodyguard.

These bodyguards are mainly used to protect the emperor, but their martial arts are really superb. What if they assassinate the emperor? In fact, the emperor has already made this arrangement clear, and the so-called most powerful is often the weakest. If there is something wrong with the personal bodyguard, then the emperor's safety problem is basically a joke, so the emperor will ensure that there is nothing wrong with the personal bodyguard in many ways.

First of all, the background of personal bodyguard, such as Zhan Zhao from Jianghu, is basically impossible to be an emperor's bodyguard in reality. More like Xiao Shenyang and Na Lanmingzhu, they all came from families that the emperor trusted very much. Their families enjoyed privileges because of the existence of the emperor, so it was difficult for them to oppose the emperor, because it was not in their own interests, so these families of guards were basically "enemies of the country".

Secondly, the growth environment of the guards. Princes need to learn civil and military knowledge from an early age. There are "Bandu princes" in literature and extremely young people who study with princes, but in martial arts, there are actually "companions". They grew up practicing martial arts with the vassals, just as Kangxi was able to punish Ao Bai when he was young, relying on the teenagers who practiced martial arts with him. These people who grew up practicing martial arts with princes will basically become bodyguards.

Again, there are not many opportunities for assassination, because the emperor's bodyguards are generally numerous, and a large group of people are protecting the emperor. Suddenly assassinated, he was subdued by his colleagues around him, and there were eunuchs, maids and others around the emperor. As long as it is not fatal, it is basically impossible to find another opportunity.

Finally, there are personal bodyguards, and their families are often under the control of the court. If these people feel at ease to protect the emperor, then naturally someone will come to send warm regularly, but if a bodyguard gives birth to infidelity, then the blade will be given to his family. On the one hand, private bodyguards are well paid, on the other hand, the cost is too high if they work badly. As long as they are rational, they will naturally know what is the most rational choice. Only when the emperor is good can he be good.
