The three fake eunuchs in history are particularly strange?Let the queen mother give birth to a son, bully the queen, and murder the emperor
There have been three false eunuchs in Chinese history, and their deeds are eye-popping. One of them succeeded in giving birth to an heir to the Queen Mother, the other actually bullied the Empress, and the last one was directly involved in the murder of the Emperor!
These three false eunuchs are a rare success story in history, because not only did they not experience the punishment of castration, but they lived a free life in the palace.
What are the identities and deeds of these three fake eunuchs?Let's take a look at what bizarre deeds they have made the most prominent eunuchs in history.
Chang Yu did play a role that cannot be ignored as he played a pivotal role in the political arena of the time. What is striking is that the reason why Chang Yu has attracted so much attention stems from his unique status as a favorite of Qin Shi Huang's biological mother.
Unlike other historical figures who have been famous for their outstanding achievements, the reason why Chang Yu has attracted attention is mainly because he won the respect of the Queen Mother by virtue of his "true ability", and was finally crowned an official and knighted.
When Yingzheng first ascended the throne, in fact, power was still firmly in the hands of Prime Minister Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji, who was Qin Shi Huang's biological mother. At this time, Lü Buwei had a close relationship with Zhao Ji and held great power. However, as Yingzheng matured, Lü Buwei feared that he was in danger, so in order to get rid of his connection with Zhao Ji, he did not hesitate to offer a "eunuch".
And this "eunuch" is Chang Yu.
Of course, Chang Yu is not a real eunuch, he is just a male pet given to Zhao Ji by Lu Buwei in order to get through the customs in a foolish manner, pretending to be a eunuch.
It should be noted that if a eunuch does not accept the punishment of castration, his face will grow a beard. In ancient times, there were no shaving tools like in modern times, and in order to solve this problem, Chang Yu resolutely plucked his beard. Under Lü Buwei's ingenious arrangement, Chang Yu successfully entered the court.
Chang Yu has a majestic figure and an unusually handsome appearance. Zhao Ji fell in love at first sight and was ecstatic. From that moment on, Chang Yu became a favored celebrity around her. In "Historical Records", the description of the lovers is "absolute love", inseparable every day, and deeply trapped in love that cannot be extricated.
Although Zhao Ji became the empress dowager, the de facto power remained firmly in the hands of her son. Once the matter is revealed, she may not need to worry about her life, but Chang Yu is destined to suffer misfortune.
Miraculously, not long after, Zhao Ji came to the good news and was pregnant with a child. At this time, Ying Zheng's biological father had already passed away, and the queen mother lived alone in the harem and was pregnant with Liujia, which would cause an uproar.
So, Zhao Ji hurriedly found an excuse to leave Xianyang and moved to Yongcheng, hundreds of miles away, with Chang Yu. At this time, they can finally let go of all their worries in the arms of each other's deep love.
Zhao Ji gave birth to two children one after another, and gradually handed over the power in her hands to Chang Yu. Soon after, she made him the Marquis of Changxin and granted him a large tract of land. This made Chang Yu's power swell dramatically, and his power was almost comparable to that of Lü Buwei.
With the open and secret struggle between the two parties, Chang Yu gradually got carried away and showed his domineering attitude. He openly declared himself to be Yingzheng's "false father" at the banquet.
Ying Zheng was furious when he learned the news and immediately ordered Chang Yu to be arrested. In the face of the deterioration of the situation, Chang Yu realized that the East Window incident had happened, and in order to preemptively attack, he actually stole Zhao Ji's jade seal in an attempt to rebel.
However, no matter how powerful a favored vassal is, it is difficult to compete with the ruler. The rebellion was destined to end in tragedy, Chang Yu was brutally killed, and the two children born to the Queen Mother were not spared.
The glory and wealth of Chang Yu came and went just as quickly. He made ripples in the long river of history, but in the end it was only a flash in the pan.
The name Gao Bodhisattva is really quite special, although he is called Gao Bodhisattva, he does not show the slightest compassion like a bodhisattva.
Gao Bodhisattva was originally the empress of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty - Feng Run's favorite minister.
The origin of the story can be traced back to 497 AD, when Emperor Xiaowen personally led his troops to the south. Before setting out on the expedition, he canonized Feng Run, a beloved female pet, as the queen.
Feng Run was the beloved woman of Emperor Xiaowen, and in order to ensure that she was not wronged in any way, Emperor Xiaowen even gave her the honor of empress.
However, after Emperor Xiaowen left, Feng Run quickly lost ground.
There is a pseudo-eunuch in the palace, that is, the High Bodhisattva. Taking advantage of Emperor Xiaowen's absence in the palace, he actually had an improper relationship with the queen, how did Emperor Xiaowen know about all this?
When Emperor Xiaowen marched to Runan, Princess Pengcheng hurried over, she looked like she was lost, and when she saw Emperor Xiaowen, she knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, asking the emperor to make a fair ruling.
Emperor Xiaowen was shocked and quickly asked what had happened.
Princess Pengcheng cried: "The queen took advantage of Her Majesty's absence to force me to marry her own brother Feng Shu. Feng Shu and the queen misbehaved, I really don't want to marry him!”
When Emperor Xiaowen heard this, if he was struck by lightning, even if his sister told him this fact, he still didn't want to believe it, and immediately secretly sent someone to investigate.
The news that an investigator reported to Emperor Xiaowen was true, but even so, the emperor still had a glimmer of hope, convinced that the beautiful and kind woman he loved would never find himself in such a situation.
After Emperor Xiaowen personally returned to the palace, he personally summoned the attendants beside the queen to Xiaohuangmen for a secret trial. After some harsh interrogation, Emperor Xiaowen could no longer remain suspicious of the fact that the empress had fornicated.
Emperor Xiaowen was dizzy with anger, and then arrested Gao Bodhisattva and Feng Run together for interrogation. It turned out that Gao Bodhisattva was a doctor, and the two had an affair during Feng Run's treatment.
Subsequently, after Feng Run entered the palace, he managed to introduce Gao Bodhisattva into the palace as well. When the matter was revealed, Feng Run knelt in front of Emperor Xiaowen and kept kowtowing to apologize, and when Gao Bodhisattva learned that he would be executed, he actually claimed: "The queen and her mother witch curse the emperor, she has witchcraft, I am forced!."”
After the incident, Emperor Xiaowen did not hesitate to give Gao Bodhisattva to death, but he did not punish Feng Run too much, and even the status of the empress was not deprived.
After this incident, Emperor Xiaowen became seriously ill due to anger, and his health deteriorated day by day, eventually dying on the way to the south during his second expedition to the south.
On his deathbed, Emperor Xiaowen was worried that Feng Run would disturb the order of the court and ordered her to be executed. Feng Run was eventually forced to drink poisoned wine, ending her short and absurd life.
It is a pity that Emperor Xiaowen, who has outstanding intelligence, left his name in the long history of the Northern Wei Dynasty in this way and became one of the most promising emperors of this era.
In the long history of China, Liu Keming has become a high-profile prodigy with his unique background and amazing strategy. The saga of this fake eunuch begins when he was adopted as a righteous son by the eunuch Liu Guang, and Liu Guang's affection for him became the cornerstone of his future shocking rise. In order to avoid his son's punishment, Liu Guang skillfully arranged for Liu Keming to enter the palace, laying an enviable starting point for him.
Liu Keming quickly rose to the top of the court with clever social means, and became a close confidant personally sent by Tang Muzong to the prince Li Zhan. His exquisite whiskering skills made him Li Zhan's right-hand man, taking care of all daily affairs.
However, Li Zhan was not a hard-working person, indifferent to government affairs, only indulging in entertainment, and proficient in all kinds of entertainment skills, so that Liu Keming had to work hard to learn these skills in order to get close to him. frolicking with Li Zhan late at night every day, but it caused the prince to be more indulgent and uninhibited.
When Li Zhan succeeded to the throne and became emperor, he did not change his indulgent life, ignored government affairs, and was cold and ruthless to the harem concubines. This provides an opportunity for Liu Keming to take advantage of.
In the early days, Liu Keming rose to prominence among the palace maids with his handsome appearance, however, his desire could not be satisfied, so he set his sights on the harem. Because the emperor rarely visited the harem in person, but Liu Keming always controlled the emperor's whereabouts, which made him act recklessly in the harem, first Dong Shufei, then Wang Zhaorong, and finally affected the entire harem, becoming the pinnacle of a power scheme.
Of course, no matter how powerful Liu Keming is, he has never reached the point of leaning towards the government and the opposition. He acted so blatantly, could it be that the emperor was really unaware?
In fact, Li Zhan was not unaware of it once, and even he happened to meet Liu Keming in the dormitory of the harem on several occasions. At this time, Liu Keming always used the tasks arranged by the concubine as an excuse.
This excuse seems far-fetched, on the one hand, because Liu Keming's original identity was a eunuch, what happened to the concubine?On the other hand, Li Zhan is young and has a big heart, and he does not have much doubt about Liu Keming's behavior.
However, as the saying goes, "paper can't hold fire". It didn't take long for things to fall into place.
One day, Li Zhan was playing a night fox game in the palace, and the rule was to release a fox in the middle of the night, while Li Zhan led someone to catch it. This will inevitably set off a chaos in the palace, and Li Zhan thinks that such a scene is very exciting.
However, on that day, Li Zhan accidentally hit Liu Keming, who was hiding in the harem. Liu Keming was greatly frightened and mistakenly thought that his affairs had been revealed.
After careful consideration, Liu Keming always felt that the emperor was plotting to kill him. So, he made a decisive move and united some palace people to plan a banquet.
They spared no effort to get Li Zhan drunk, and when he was almost drunk, Liu Keming and the palace people rushed up and strangled Li Zhan to death.
Li Zhan was only 18 years old at the time, but he died at the hands of a fake eunuch in an inexplicable way.
I have to say that these eunuchs are really wonderful, and each one is more ruthless than the other. The existence of these people has undoubtedly had a profound impact on the trajectory of history.
