Varys told him not to open the gates, it was Pycelle who told him to open them.

Thinking about it, I'm surprised Varys didn't try to kill Aerys off in some form. Yeah, he may have Targaryen loyalty (unlikely), but it seems that with there being more Targaryen's out there that he would have tried to kill off Aerys much earlier if he were truly loyal to the Targaryen to get Rhaegar on the throne, or in the very least one of the younger Targaryens. Varys had a golden candidate to take up the throne with Rhaegar, but instead he tried to play his father against the son, and thus making him even more paranoid. Why would he pit them against each other when he is trying to put Rhaegar's own child on the throne?

I'm pretty sure Varys is a Blackfyre, as is this Aegon. The real baby Aegon was killed by the Mountain. Varys is not at all loyal to the Targaryens, and it wouldn't shock me if he is planning on Danys' death right now in order for Aegon to get her dragons.
