Foreign vassals were the last thing that emperors wanted to mention.

"There is no family affection in heaven." This quote is a wise saying. For any emperor, his parents are nothing more than the people who gave birth to him, and his brothers and sisters are even more emperor's

"Stumbling blocks" or invisible opponents, and children are just the product of their own venting. Whether it is the emperor himself or the ladies of the harem, no one will really cherish their children.

For many women in the harem, approaching the emperor is for their own glory and wealth, and the purpose of having children is to ascend to a higher status.

These women gave birth to children for the emperor at first to consolidate their position, and then they wanted to use the children to get closer to the emperor, so that their status in the harem became higher and higher.

When they have a prince, they all hope that their son can become the emperor in the future, and they will be the queen mother at that time.

For the sake of this lofty ideal, they used their means in every way, and murder and arson were not a problem.

There are even some people who poison or assassinate their husbands, who are the current emperors, in order to be able to ascend the throne as emperors for their sons.

Therefore, almost every emperor has no real love and family affection, his brothers are his opponents, his wives may assassinate themselves for his son, and the sons are even more eager for his early death, so he will definitely not show mercy to his relatives.

In order to consolidate the interests of the imperial family, in order to make it impossible for the bloodline of the Heavenly Family to be completely severed, and in order to try not to kill brothers, the imperial family came up with a method on behalf of the emperor.

It is to let many male members of the royal family disperse to various places, which can not only take care of the place nearby, but also ensure that the royal bloodline is more likely to branch out, and at the same time prevent these royal family members from thinking about how to deal with the emperor together.

These people are very threatening together, as long as they are separated, as long as they are fed and drunk and enjoyed enough, they will not have much interest in the throne.

After all, being an emperor is not fun, and the purpose of being an emperor is just to enjoy. Once the Emperor grants these royals enough freedom and enjoyment, the vast majority of the royals will dispel their hatred of the Emperor.

Although this can temporarily alleviate the contradictions within the imperial family, it cannot solve the problem fundamentally.

But the emperor wouldn't listen, he just thought that when he was alive, these members of the royal family should not make trouble.

Over time, these members of the royal family, who served as vassal kings in other places, became the greatest burden and threat to the kings of all generations.

These vassal kings relied on their identities not only to do evil in the local area, but also to pay attention to the changes in the capital.

Once there is no successor to the emperor or the emperor is mediocre, they have the idea of replacing him, and even take action.

Therefore, the kings of the past generations had a headache with these so-called relatives, and they could neither let them go untreated nor deal with them harshly.

Leaving it unchecked will lead to widespread resentment and even civil unrest. Harsh punishment would cause many vassal kings to attack him, threatening the emperor's position.

At the same time, it will also make outsiders see the jokes of the royal family, and make the royal family and the emperor lose face. Every emperor pays the most attention to his own majesty and face, and he will never allow his majesty to be damaged in any way, so it is impossible to do things that make everyone see jokes.

Therefore, when each emperor gave his position to the next emperor, he also left the problem to the new emperor.

Everyone wanted to solve this thorny problem, but no emperor could really handle it.

Eunuchs, also known as eunuchs, were originally people who were attached to the emperor, but after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, these eunuchs gradually broke away from the emperor's control, and even began to influence the emperor's words and deeds.

The eunuch is a twisted human race, originally a human race born with disease. They are not like other children from birth, they are neither men nor can they be women.

They have lost their masculine characteristics, cannot complete the work of inheritance, nor can they conceive and have children like women.

They can't be as tall and mighty as ordinary men, nor can they be as curvy as women, so they are treated as waste by everyone.

At that time, the living environment of human beings was not good, and everyone needed to give their own strength for their own survival.

These days, eunuchs are neither male nor female, so they are sent to take care of sick elderly people or young children, and they are the worst in terms of food and drink.

Gradually, everyone discovered some of the advantages of these people, such as this kind of person is more attentive and obedient, and he is very patient when taking care of patients.

There are also these people who know their own inadequacies, so they learn to swallow their anger and go against the grain. Some people are angry and unhappy, and they will beat and scold these days to be angry.

Not only will these people not resist, but they will find ways to put out the anger of the people. Gradually, these days the eunuchs became private slaves who took care of those of status, who were not only faithful to their masters, but also had no accidents.

In ancient primitive societies, everyone lived in groups, so it didn't matter if they were their own children or not.

However, after having a certain status and conditions, some powerful men began to treat their women as their own private property and did not allow others to share them.

Duels between men often happen in the tribe because of the snatching of women. Some men have lost their lives in internal strife, and even if they win, they cannot really get everything that a woman has.

It is impossible for a man to accompany his woman all the time, and a strong man needs to improve his status through fighting.

When men are out hunting or fighting, they are most worried about their women and other people

"Super friendship" relationship. It was already very angry for the husband that they had sex behind this man's back, and if they gave birth to a child, it would be even more troublesome for the husband.

In ancient times male and female contraception was very backward once it occurred

"Hyper-friendship" relationships will have children. Husbands with status and status often kill their wives and iniquity because they give birth to children that are not their own.

In order to take good care of his wife, and for his wife to have as little contact with other men as possible, the best way is to use a female slave to take care of his wife.

However, women in the tribe are very precious, and they are the main tools for reproducing the next generation, and it is impossible to stay with one person all the time.

The emergence of the Celestial Eunuch alleviated the situation, and the powerful man used his power to either buy the Celestial Eunuch or pretend to be a public servant, allowing the Celestial Eunuch to stay with his woman to take care of his wife and children.

Not only does it solve the problem of servants, but it also ensures that his wife does not cheat. As the demand for celestial geldings grows, the natural celestial geldings are far from satisfying the demand.

Some men of high status even start infighting or wars for one or two heavenly eunuchs. By chance, a tribesman discovered a secret that a prisoner of war was wounded in the lower part by the enemy during the battle.

Later, after becoming a prisoner of war, he was imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp, not only did he not receive timely medical treatment, but also required a lot of daily labor.

Soon after, they discovered that the prisoner of war had gradually lost his manly features, and that his strength and temper had changed.

When a celestial eunuch saw this prisoner of war, he was almost certain that this prisoner of war was a person like himself.

However, this prisoner of war is not only not a heavenly eunuch, but also has his own wife and children in his own tribe. Some people have ventured to speculate whether it was caused by injuries to the lower body.

At that time, the prisoners of war were not even as good as pigs and dogs, so they secretly experimented with some prisoners of war. At that time, ten prisoners of war were used for the first experiment, and due to inexperience and excessive force, four prisoners of war died on the spot.

Six POWs survived for the time being, but soon after they died due to wound infections and other reasons.

The first experiment ended in failure, much to everyone's disappointment. But one fighter did not completely lose confidence, and he persuaded everyone to try again.

With little hope, they once again experimented with ten prisoners of war. This time, only one person survived, but soon after, this prisoner of war was really the same as the original prisoner of war, and gradually became a person like a heavenly eunuch.

This made everyone very happy, they found a solution to the needs of the heavenly eunuchs, and at the same time found a way for the tribe to make a fortune.

They used their own specialties, furs, grain and other things to exchange prisoners of war with other surrounding tribes. Prisoners of war were originally captured in battle, but for fear of their defection, young prisoners of war were maimed and left behind, or simply killed.

So some tribes do not leave prisoners of war, it is not worth it for them to be both unsafe and consume the food of their own tribe.

At that time, prisoners of war were not only cheap, but also half sold and half given away. The tribe bought back a group of prisoners of war at a very small price and began their plan.

After gathering the prisoners together, they forced them to eat food with an anesthetic effect. The prisoners of war fell en masse, reducing the likelihood of resistance and making it easier for the tribesmen to do so.

A few experienced veterans reminded their clansmen to focus on their goals and not to hurt other parts.

Even so, there were still a lot of mistakes. One hundred and thirty prisoners of war died on the spot, more than fifty of them died, and the dead prisoners of war were disposed of by the tribesmen.
