Hi everyone, Lausanne Montgomery here, China History Podcast once again, part five this time of this

overview of Unix throughout the ages. We started in the Shang, the earliest times in China that we

know was certainty that Unix existed, and as we progressed along the Unix history timeline from

tree top level, looking down, we reviewed many of the palace Unix immortalized in the official

histories and in popular Chinese history, who indelibly marked China's Unix as abominations,

whose greed and hunger for power brought down three dynasties, the Han, the Tang and the Ming,

and this time we'll finish off with China's last and final imperial dynasty, the Manchu

factors that set the dynasty up for a long agonizing decline, including for the fortunes of the

Ice and Juro Imperial clan, but that doesn't mean the Qing was totally devoid of hated Unix and

to the extent that by the 1620s, it was all over and there was nothing anybody could do,

the Manchu invaders. Today we'll discuss two Unix who rose to the top and enjoyed a fair degree

of infamy for their deeds during their times as chief Unix in the palace, so you can bet with all

the madness that it transpired during the Ming, allowing the Unix problem to spiral out of control

not once, but four times. The Qing rulers early on made double and triple sure that those

limited numbers of Unix they allowed into the palace were never given the opportunity to

interfere in the internal affairs of the emperor and his court. The Shunjir emperor, first Qing
