Preface

In Chinese history, the status of eunuchs is very special, although they are men, but after the palace punishment, they cannot be regarded as a complete man, but only slaves attached to the ruling class.

However, not all eunuchs are real, although the palace is very strict in this regard, but as long as you have the heart, there will always be loopholes that can be exploited by them, pretending that the eunuchs will make a mess of the palace after entering the palace.

There are three fake eunuchs in history who are very famous, all of them are the masters of the harem of fornication, but the final outcome is different, some are ambushed after the matter is revealed, and some don't care even if they do bad things, and even kill the emperor.

Today, let's take a look at what these three false eunuchs have done in history, so that they can "go down in history".

1. Fornicating with the Queen Mother's arrogant concubine

Qin Shi Huang was only 13 years old when he ascended the throne, and in ancient times, women gave birth early, and his mother Zhao Ji was only about 30 years old at this time, and she became a widow in her good years, of course, she was quite lonely.

Therefore, Zhao Ji went behind his son's back and had an affair with Prime Minister Lü Buwei, and then continued the relationship, but Lü Buwei, as the prime minister of Qin, the most important thing is power and career, and once the empress dowager was exposed, the consequences were unimaginable, so he thought of a way and took the initiative to break off the relationship with Zhao Ji.

Among his disciples was a man named Chang Yu, who was not only very ambitious, but above all rumored to be able to serve women with great strength, and was able to "walk with his Yin Guan Tong Wheel".

Lü Buwei took a fancy to his ability, so he recommended him to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji liked him quite much after seeing his ability, but ordinary men can't enter the palace casually, how can Chang Yu stay by Zhao Ji's side for a long time? So Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei thought of a way, that is, let Chang Yu pretend to be a eunuch.

They bought off the people in the palace who executed the eunuchs, let him let Chang Yu go, only shaved his beard, and disguised himself as a eunuch to enter the palace, so Chang Yu entered the palace smoothly and came to Zhao Ji's side.

After entering the palace, Zhao Ji and Chang Yu can almost say that they sang every night, in order not to let the matter be revealed, Zhao Ji also moved to the palace with Chang Yu under the pretext of bad feng shui, the two lived a life that was not husband and wife but like husband and wife, and Zhao Ji even gave birth to two children.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, Chang Yu was so favored by the queen mother's side, and was also made a marquis, so he became more and more embarrassed, and when he drank and bragged with others, he claimed that the king of Qin would call him a "false father" when he came.

This incident was remembered by the people who hated him, and then the complaint was filed in front of Qin Shi Huang, who knew that his mother had an affair with a fake eunuch behind his back, and this spread was almost a shame on the face of the Qin royal family.

So Qin Shi Huang sent troops to the palace to kill Chang Yu, but Chang Yu was the first to know that the affair with the Queen Mother was exposed, so he thought that it would be better to take a gamble to directly rebel and kill the King of Qin, and then usurp the throne, so he used Zhao Ji's power as the Queen Mother to gather an army to attack the Qi Nian Palace where the King of Qin was located.

It's a pity that no matter how powerful he is, he is just a fake eunuch, not as powerful as the King of Qin, and in the end he was defeated and arrested, and was finally killed by a car under the order of Qin Shi Huang.

Second, the empress of fornication killed the emperor's high bodhisattva

In 497 AD, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was about to march on an expedition, and before the expedition, he canonized his concubine Feng Run as the queen, and then handed over the palace affairs to Feng Run, and sent troops with confidence.

But what he didn't expect was that when he marched to Runan, his youngest sister, Princess Pengcheng, chased after him on a horse, crying and begging his brother not to marry him to the queen's younger brother Feng Shu.

Emperor Xiaowen felt quite confused, he obviously didn't make this decision, where did his sister hear about it? So after appeasing Princess Pengcheng, Emperor Xiaowen knew that it was Empress Feng Run's idea, so he also felt that this idea seemed to be quite good.

Princess Pengcheng saw that her brother showed signs of wanting to agree, so she said anxiously and angrily: "The Feng family is not a good thing! Feng Shu has a poor character, and the queen also takes advantage of your absence in the palace to defile the harem!"

Emperor Xiaowen was shocked and couldn't believe that his beloved wife had done something unfaithful to him, so he hurriedly asked his henchmen to follow Princess Pengcheng back to the palace to investigate the matter.

However, the reply that Emperor Xiaowen got made him completely disappointed, this matter turned out to be true, the queen had been in the palace for a long time with a fake eunuch Gao Bodhisattva, everyone in the palace knew about it, but the queen was afraid that he didn't dare to talk to him.

So after the battle, Emperor Xiaowen went back to the palace non-stop to deal with this matter, first arrested Gao Bodhisattva and interrogated him severely, only then did he know that Feng Run had been out of the palace for a period of time when he was still a concubine due to illness, and it was during this period that he got together with Gao Bodhisattva, who was a doctor.

But she still couldn't let go of Gao Bodhisattva after returning to the palace, so she bought off the palace people and let Gao Bodhisattva pretend to be a eunuch and enter the palace, and carried Emperor Xiaowen behind his back to mess with him.

After the matter was revealed, Feng Run was so frightened that he kept apologizing to Emperor Xiaowen, thinking that he would not escape death, but even though Emperor Xiaowen was furious, he spared her life after she summoned everything truthfully.

However, this incident left Emperor Xiaowen with a lot of heart problems, and only two years later, Emperor Xiaowen died.

Although the main reason for the death of Emperor Xiaowen was because he contracted a serious illness on the battlefield and was not treated in time, it is difficult to say that it has nothing to do with the queen's fornication.

Because Emperor Xiaowen specially asked someone to kill the queen after his death when he was dying, but he did not bury him with her husband and wife, it can be seen that Emperor Xiaowen hated Feng Run's infidelity.

3. Liu Keming, who assassinated the emperor in the harem

Tang Jingzong was a rather mediocre monarch, who ignored the government during his reign, allowed the eunuch groups to persecute each other, fought for power, and indulged in pleasure himself.

Therefore, during the Tang Jingzong period, the power of eunuchs can be said to have reached its peak, and naturally there were many eunuchs who sharpened their heads and tried every means to climb up.

Among them, there is a eunuch named Liu Guang who is more faceless in front of Tang Jingzong, because the eunuchs themselves are not capable of giving birth to offspring, so many eunuchs will choose to adopt a godson to support their old age.

The reason why Liu Guang took a fancy to Liu Keming as his godson was not entirely because Liu Keming was very filial to him, but also because Liu Keming played a good hand and could help him please Tang Jingzong and get a higher status.

So Liu Guang wanted Liu Keming to enter the palace with him as a eunuch, and the two of them took care of each other and got a higher status together, but Liu Keming was quite frightened after hearing this, he wanted a higher status, but he didn't want to abandon the dignity of a man to be a eunuch!

So under Liu Keming's bitter pleading, Liu Guang finally thought of a way, he also had a lot of connections in the palace, so he bought off the palace people, so that Liu Keming would not be punished by the palace and directly pretend to be a eunuch and enter the palace himself.

Tang Jingzong likes to kick the juju, so Liu Guang recommended his godson to the emperor, and after playing a few games, Tang Jingzong liked Liu Keming quite much, and since then he has reused Liu Keming.

After getting acquainted in the palace, Liu Keming gradually began to defile the palace, looking at Tang Jingzong's beautiful concubines, he quickly had crooked thoughts and seduced a few concubines to get together with them.

However, on the one hand, Liu Keming was worried about the incident of the east window of the filthy palace, and on the other hand, he was still dissatisfied with his status, so he had the idea of rebellious - killing the monarch and setting up a new emperor who completely obeyed his words.

Tang Jingzong has a preference for "fighting night foxes", after Tang Jingzong came back from fox hunting one night, Liu Keming had already set up a banquet to reward the emperor, so Tang Jingzong was dizzy and sweaty, and wanted to go into the house to change clothes.

Liu Keming seized this opportunity, blew out the lights when Tang Jingzong was changing clothes, and then assassinated Tang Jingzong in the dark, and then changed King Jiang to the emperor, and manipulated the emperor's power to tilt the government and the opposition.

But Liu Keming was finally united by a group of courtiers who were dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the eunuchs, and chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well in the chaos.
