Zhang Maoze (张茂则; 1015–1094), courtesy name Pingfu (平甫), was a senior imperial eunuch of the northern Song dynasty.
[2] His life and career can be traced primarily through a biography section in the History of Song and Xu Zizhi Tongjian Changbian.
Emperor Renzong wanted to promote him to the position of Marshal of the Court, but Zhang requested an outside post and was appointed military supervisor of Yongxing Army.
During the early years of Emperor Shenzong's reign, Zhang, along with Sima Guang, inspected flood embankments in Enzhou, Jizhou, Shenzhou, Yingzhou, and the Liuta and Ergou Rivers.
On the night of a Shangyuan Festival, a fire broke out in the palace, Zhang led the efforts to extinguish it in time, and Emperor Shenzong awarded him with a narrow-sleeved robe and a gold embroidered belt.
During the Zhihe era (1054–1056), Emperor Renzong fell gravely ill. Prime Minister Fu Bi secretly communicated with Empress Cao on the selection of the royal heir.
[7] Zhang Maoze was portrayed by Ye Zuxin in 2020 TV drama series Serenade of Peaceful Joy.
