The mind can also be distorted when faced with the challenge of physical disability, and like the ancient eunuchs, their mental state was often difficult to maintain in a sound state. In the long course of history, they are often used as negative teaching materials, and when eunuchs are mentioned, we will have in our minds the tsundere sissy who pinched the orchid fingers, which makes people feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.
These eunuchs may seem insignificant, but they can exert a devastating influence at a critical moment. They can always be by the emperor's side, influencing the emperor's decision-making from time to time, just like some leaders' drivers, although they seem to have nothing to be proud of in their positions, but in fact, their influence on the leaders cannot be underestimated.
As for the mystery, the judges have their own judgment in their hearts. In the feudal imperial period, as long as you can act in the name of the emperor, it is equivalent to holding supreme power.
Zhao Gao was undoubtedly the first person under the emperor to enjoy the power of a eunuch, and it didn't matter if he was really a eunuch or not. The eunuch hat he wore on his head, he couldn't get rid of.
After the fall of the Qin Empire, Zhao Gao was naturally nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and what he did also made his status as a eunuch even more criticized.
Zhao Gao opened the path of eunuchs to pursue power, which led to the phenomenon of eunuchs taking power in later generations. The status of the eunuch made it a lot of convenience, and it also allowed some conspirators to cover it up.
In the 2,000-year history of the feudal imperial system, there are three fake eunuchs who are particularly eye-catching, one of them impregnated the queen mother, one of them caused chaos in the palace, and the other even murdered the emperor.
Among them, Liu Keming is an example of being castrated into the palace by Tang Jingzong because of his love of fun, but he bribed the attending doctor when he was purified and successfully escaped the arrangement of fate.
Liu Keming relied on his identity as a fake eunuch to make the emperor happy, and he was comfortable in the harem. Tang Jingzong was keen to go out of the palace to hunt, and Liu Keming also ushered in the peak of his life.
At the beginning, Tang Jingzong always took Liu Keming with him when he went hunting, but later Liu Keming found various excuses and stopped accompanying him. Tang Suzong was addicted to catching foxes late at night, and even regarded it as a pastime, and the palace people called it "fighting night foxes".
Whenever the emperor did not return at night, Liu Keming's thief heart would increase greatly. On a dark and windy night, he secretly climbed onto the bed of Tang Jingzong's young and beautiful concubine. Concubine Dong Shu was the first concubine he dated, and then he fell in love with Wang Zhaorong again.
As long as there are beautiful concubines, Liu Keming will carry Tang Jingzong behind his back and interact with them. After a long time, the entire harem is like Liu Keming's bedroom, and he can sleep wherever he wants.
There is no wall and no one is perfect. After Tang Jingzong found out that Liu Keming was a fake eunuch, he instantly understood that he had been deceived. Liu Keming, fearing exposure, decided to preemptively launch a coup d'état.
One day in the second year of Baoli, Tang Jingzong went out to fight night foxes, and when he came back, he was still elated, and he invited Liu Keming and others to drink together. However, Liu Keming had already planned to send him to hell.
After Tang Jingzong drank high, when he went to the dormitory to change clothes, Liu Keming ordered someone to extinguish the candles in the main hall, and then rushed into Tang Jingzong's dormitory to kill him. In the chaotic court, Gao Bodhisattva is a fake eunuch who does all kinds of evil.
Although his name sounds gentle, he committed heinous crimes during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Gao Bodhisattva was originally an ordinary doctor, but he gained the trust of Emperor Xiaowen because of his handsome face.
Once, Emperor Xiaowen's Empress Feng suddenly fell seriously ill, and Gao Bodhisattva volunteered, claiming that he had the art of returning to heaven and could ** the queen. "
Emperor Xiaowen trusted him and summoned Gao Bodhisattva into the palace. Emperor Xiaowen fought abroad all the year round, and Empress Feng was attracted by the beauty of Gao Bodhisattva, and the relationship between the two quickly heated up, burning like dry firewood.
However, as a doctor, Gao Bodhisattva could not stay in the palace for a long time, which made Empress Feng very worried. So, the two privately agreed and decided to let Gao Bodhisattva reside in the harem as a fake eunuch.
Empress Feng was emotionally shrewd and capable, and she controlled both Emperor Xiaowen's favor and her affair with Gao Bodhisattva. Although Emperor Xiaowen is eloquent and strategic, he does not attach importance to the affairs of children's affection, and he is blindly confident, believing that the queen's love for him is indestructible.
Gao Bodhisattva relied on the protection of Empress Feng and ran rampant in the harem, and even started the idea of other female dependents, as if he regarded himself as Emperor Xiaowen.
Gao Bodhisattva, a fake eunuch, finally angered Liu Teng, the real eunuch in the palace, and he quickly ran to Emperor Xiaowen, who was fighting in Luoyang, under the pretext of going out of the palace to do business.
He accused Gao Bodhisattva of colluding with Empress Feng to disturb the harem, and Emperor Xiaowen was angry and rushed back to the palace to execute Gao Bodhisattva, and gave Empress Feng to commit suicide. Among the fake eunuchs, Chang Yu's ranking is definitely high, because he is only one step away from the queen mother's biological father.
Originally, Chang Yu was just a gangster in the market, and in order to make a living, he took refuge in Lü Buwei, he had no specialty, only a unique physical fitness.
In his spare time, Chang Yu presented a stunt wheel spinning wheel for everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion and won full applause. When Lü Buwei was powerless in front of Zhao Ji, he cleverly introduced Chang Yu to Zhao Ji as a fake eunuch.
Zhao Ji met Chang Yu, as if life had found a new light, and the two lingered all day long, turning a blind eye to Yingzheng, who had grown up. Chang Yu did have two brushes, he not only made the Empress Dowager Zhao smile, but also became the sole favorite of the Empress Dowager, and also gave birth to two sons.
Because of the favor of the Empress Dowager Zhao, Chang Yu gradually disregarded Lü Buwei, and even planned to make his son the king of Qin. All this, Ying Zheng silently observed, he just had to wait, the passage of time made Ying Zheng finally wait for the opportunity to be pro-government, and Chang Yu could no longer be at peace.
He understands that once he becomes a politician, he will face the danger of never recovering.
In a hurry and eagerness, Chang Yu staged a coup d'état in a vain attempt to ascend the emperor's throne, but was suppressed by Qin Shi Huang and beheaded in a different place. The two sons born to him and Empress Dowager Zhao were also put into sacks by Qin Shi Huang and fell to the ground.
The three fake eunuchs experienced similar fates in different eras, but unfortunately they all died in the end, which is really sad!
