The Sweet Dew incident (Chinese: 甘露事變) was a failed coup on December 14, 835[1][2] by Emperor Wenzong of the Chinese Tang dynasty to seize power from the eunuchs. The emperor planned to kill the eunuchs with the aid of the chancellor Li Xun and the general Zheng Zhu. The eunuchs learned of the plot and solidifed their control with a counter-coup; Li, Zheng, many of their followers and other officials were killed.[2][3][4]
