Later Tang Dynasty was founded by the ShaTuo nationality. Although it insisted not long in history, there was the typical appearance of mummers and princesses’ interference in political affairs. They played an important role in Later Tang Dynasty’s foundation, development and destruction.It was a lasting process for the Chinese localization in ShaTuo. People couldn’t tell the exact time of its beginning and ending. Because ShaTuo was not totally influenced by the Han nationality, it became possible for mummers and princesses to interfere in political affairs. At the same time, King was suspicious and jealous of his subjects. The power was divided, which led to several groups’interference in political affairs. In addition, there was another reason for this. Since Later Tang Dynasty came after Tang Dynasty, the king did not choose the right person to serve his government.The King of Later Tang Dynasty gave mummers the power in both army and politics. Lots of mummers were appointed as local governors. Eunuches controlled the power of Prime minister。 Later Tang Dynasty continued to let eunuches supervise armies. What’s more, princess also had the power to order officials. As a result, these different groups interfered the politics in their own ways. As for some important events, they united together for the same interest. They affected the politics, accepted bribery, and killed loyal officials, which was unavoidable. On the other hand, some of the mummers and eunuchs had a positive effect on politics.Anyway, mummers and princesses’interference in political affairs caused the darkness in politics. Wars often broke out. Contradiction became more serious. Some of the mummers and eunuchs had a positive effect on politics. Mummers and princesses’interference in political affairs fastened king’s power, which warned the later government to learn from this period.
