展开剩余94%In Chinese history, the tales of fake eunuchs often leave people astonished. Among them, three \"eccentric\" figures not only facilitated the birth of heirs to the throne but also manipulated and even conspired against emperors and empresses.
How did they dare to be so audacious in the heart of power, influencing the court's fortunes at will? How did these fake eunuchs skillfully conceal their identities and navigate through intricate power struggles with ease?
Behind each of their actions lay layers of conspiracy and calculation. Were all these events mere coincidences, or were they meticulously planned from the beginning?
The \"False Father\" of the Emperor: Lao Ai's Ambitious Schemes
During the Qin Dynasty, a powerful empire on the verge of unification, a man named Lao Ai, with his charm and cunning, successfully maneuvered his way into the core of power.
The story begins with Lv Buwei, a wealthy merchant who, with his wisdom and foresight, arranged for Zhao Ji to marry Prince Yiren of Qin. Zhao Ji fulfilled expectations by giving birth to a son, who later became Qin Shi Huang, known as Ying Zheng.
After Prince Yiren ascended to the throne as King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Zhao Ji naturally became the queen mother. Lv Buwei, leveraging this connection, swiftly rose to become the prime minister of Qin, wielding immense influence. However, this golden era did not last long. King Zhuangxiang suddenly passed away, and the young Ying Zheng ascended the throne, with Zhao Ji becoming the queen mother.
The taste of power intoxicated Queen Mother Zhao, and she rekindled her relationship with Lv Buwei, frequently meeting in secret. As Ying Zheng grew older, Lv Buwei realized that such a relationship could lead to his downfall.
To protect himself, Lv Buwei devised a cunning plan: he found a remarkably handsome man牛博士, Lao Ai, and had him pose as a eunuch to enter the palace. Lao Ai not only possessed striking looks but also exceptional talents. Queen Mother Zhao was captivated upon their first meeting, and their affair quickly heated up.
Before long, Queen Mother Zhao became pregnant! To conceal the truth, she claimed unfavorable omens and requested Ying Zheng to move the capital to Yongcheng. There, Queen Mother Zhao gave birth to two sons fathered by Lao Ai.
Descending into Darkness
Power is an addictive poison. Lao Ai tasted its sweetness and desired more. He amassed great power in Yongcheng, attracting followers and assuming the airs of a feudal lord. His influence rapidly expanded, even challenging Lv Buwei, the prime minister.
Lao Ai's ambitions grew unchecked; he began to fantasize about replacing Ying Zheng and becoming the true king of Qin. After a drunken revelry, he openly declared himself as the \"false father\" of Qin Shi Huang. This audacious claim quickly reached Ying Zheng's ears.
Enraged, Ying Zheng immediately dispatched officials to Yongcheng to investigate. The truth was exposed: Lao Ai's scandalous affair with Queen Mother Zhao came to light. Ying Zheng decided to eradicate this audacious traitor.
Upon hearing the news, Lao Ai, in a desperate move, led his followers to attack Ying Zheng's palace. However, he underestimated Ying Zheng's strength and determination. The rebellion was swiftly crushed, and Lao Ai was captured.
Ultimately, Lao Ai suffered a gruesome execution, and the two sons he fathered with Queen Mother Zhao met a tragic end. This once invincible \"fake eunuch\" became nothing more than a footnote in history.
The Empress's Secret Lover
Fast forward to the Northern Wei period. This regime, established by the Xianbei ethnic group, found itself in a unique historical period. Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei was renowned for his strategic vision, yet behind the scenes, a farcical drama unfolded in his harem.
Empress Feng Run, outwardly dignified and virtuous, was in reality cunning and ruthless, with an insatiable lust. Her greatest weakness was her carnal desires. With Emperor Xiaowen frequently away on military campaigns, Feng Run, lonely in the palace, conceived a bold idea.
She found a man named Gao Pusa, a physician renowned for his handsome appearance. While treating Feng Run, they developed a secret affection. Feng Run harbored a wicked plan: she had Gao Pusa pose as a eunuch to infiltrate the palace.
From then on, Feng Run's life in the palace became colorful. By day, she handled state affairs as the empress; by night, she enjoyed blissful moments with Gao Pusa. Sometimes, their rendezvous even occurred openly in broad daylight, a testament to her audacity.
One Wrong Step Leads to Another
Feng Run's appetite grew, and she began to interfere in court politics. She even sought to arrange a marriage between Princess Pingcheng, Emperor Xiaowen's own sister, and her own brother Feng Su, further solidifying her power.
Feng Run underestimated Princess Pingcheng's courage and intelligence. Unable to tolerate Feng Run's actions, Princess Pingcheng decided to risk her life and exposed everything to Emperor Xiaowen. Furious upon learning the truth, Emperor Xiaowen immediately returned to the palace.
After a thorough investigation, Gao Pusa's true identity was uncovered. With irrefutable evidence, Emperor Xiaowen wasted no time in executing Gao Pusa. For the sake of the royal family's reputation, he refrained from immediately deposing Empress Feng Run.
Though Feng Run escaped immediate punishment, her days were numbered. Shortly after, Emperor Xiaowen fell seriously ill. In his dying decree, he ordered Feng Run's execution. Thus, the once powerful empress, faced with shame and despair, chose to end her own life by poison.
Regicide by Liu Keming
Fast forward to the Tang Dynasty, a golden age of poetry and art. A young man named Liu Keming staged a thrilling drama of regicide.
Liu Keming was originally adopted by the eunuch Liu Guang and stood out for his striking appearance, fair as jade, resembling that of a woman. Recognizing his potential, Liu Guang arranged for him to enter the palace without castration to serve Li Zhan, who was then the crown prince.
Liu Keming was exceptionally intelligent and adept at understanding human nature. He discovered Li Zhan's fondness for various ball games and diligently practiced, quickly becoming Li Zhan's favorite playmate. As Li Zhan ascended the throne as Emperor Xianzong of Tang, Liu Keming's status skyrocketed. He gained the privilege to move in and out of the palace freely, flourishing in the harem.
Emperor Xianzong was indulgent in pleasure and frequently went hunting. As a result, the harem became Liu Keming's domain. He used various means to please the concubines and soon established his own influence in the harem.
The taste of power made Liu Keming insatiable. He began to worry that his actions would one day be exposed. Thus, a bold idea took root in his mind: why not simply eliminate Emperor Xianzong and seize the throne himself?
During a palace banquet, Liu Keming seized an opportunity. He conspired with his confidants to intoxicate Emperor Xianzong and then took advantage of the situation to strangle him. He even forged an imperial edict to install Li Han, Emperor Xianzong's uncle, attempting to support a puppet emperor.
However, things did not go as planned for Liu Keming. His conspiracy was soon uncovered by the eunuch Wang Shoucheng. Wang Shoucheng led the imperial guards to suppress Liu Keming. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Liu Keming knew he could not escape death. To avoid torture, he chose to commit suicide by jumping into a well.
History is often surprisingly similar. These three \"fake eunuchs\" stories, though from different dynasties, all demonstrate the distortion of human nature by power.
They relied on their intelligence, special identities, and audacity to influence the court and even attempted to change the course of history.
