According to Chinese media, An Duc Hai was orphaned early in his parents and was sold through one person to another until he entered the palace as an eunuch at 8 years old.

The turning point of An Duc Hai's life came in 1861, when this eunuch was 17 years old. Thanh Ham Phong's king died, leading to a great power vacuum.

In the late Qing period, the purification of eunuchs was not closely monitored. The process of being 'unclean' can make An Duc Hai still capable of a man. There are even rumors that Tu Hy also has his own child with the eunuch of An Duc Hai.

Chinese history books do not record this issue. But according to modern historians, such stories partly reflect the love that Hy gives to An Duc Hai and the fact that the Empress Thai is in the harem.

A bitter death

Day by day near Tu Hy Empress, An Duc Hai gradually expressed his disdain for the great gods in the court, and even pleaded guilty to a few kings, including the Royal Palace of the Royal Family.

Once, Cung Than Vuong came to ask the Queen Mother, but Tu Hy sent people to say that he was busy with An Duc Hai, so he did not meet. That incident made the Prince of the Palace feel insulted, resentful of resentment of An Duc Hai, finding all ways to eliminate by the eulogy of the General Director is very much favored by Tu Hy Thai.

In 1869, feeling suffocated due to being banned in the palace, An Duc Hai wanted to go out on a trip, so he asked Tu Hy Thai Hau to go down to Giang Nam to make plan and buy clothes.

Permitted by Xu Hy, An Duc Hai forgot that he had violated the regulations of the Thanh dynasty, that the eunuchs were never allowed to leave the palace.

Self-proclaimed an ambassador, An Duc Hai did not have any documents to prove, on the way he marched again and again.

This is considered a thousand-year opportunity to give the King's Body to make excuses for revenge. When passing through Shandong, An Duc Hai was immediately arrested by Dinh Bao Trinh Weekly.

Dinh Bao Trinh was extremely hated by those who borrowed the name of the unpretentious Xu Hy, threatening others like An Duc Hai. So the patriarch brought this story to the Royal Palace.

From An Thai Hau reluctantly agreed, but still expressed fear when pointing out, 'Western Thai Queen will kill me for this.'

The Empress Dowager Tsui did not know about the euphemism An Duc Hai was charged with beheading. The incident only came to Tai Hau when an eunuch in An Duc Hai's entourage returned to the citadel to report.

After questioning everything, Xu Hy became angry and immediately ran to the People's Life, expressing his reproach from An An Empress. From An saw that Xu Hy was angry and brought everything to the Palace of the King. Before throwing away his shirt, Xu Hy vowed to take revenge.

It is possible that the execution of An Duc Hai became a major turning point in the time of Tu Hy's reign.

From Hy Thai Queen silently acquiring power, not trusting anyone. Many people also said that the death of An Thai Hau later was also caused by Xu Hy in retaliation for old stories.
