景监 / Jing Jian
景监 / Jing Jian appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》12丨 公孙鞅求职路上的拉关系 走后门 as the favored figure who introduces 公孙鞅 / 商鞅 to 秦孝公. His practical role is gatekeeping: Qin has issued an open recruitment edict, but Shang Yang still needs a person close to the ruler before his proposals can be heard.
The episode identifies 景 as his clan name and links the Jing lineage to the 楚国 royal-family branch of the Mi surname. It also discusses the label “辟臣,” which the host presents as a morally suspect favorite rather than a settled bureaucratic office.
The episode explicitly resists a simple “eunuch” reading. Because earlier terms for eunuchs include 寺人, 阍, 竖, and 小臣, and because the name 监 alone is not enough evidence, this page keeps Jing Jian as a court favorite / access broker rather than a eunuch unless later sources require revision.
