Chapter 123: Imperial Grandmother, How Are You Planning to Reward You?
Qin Xiudao:
"Yes, thank you. β
Master Zong Masahiro happily touched his goatee:
"Haha......"
In this way, Qin Xiu began to learn "Shangshu" with Master Yushi, and Qin Xiu, who has intermediate memory skills, naturally got started quickly and understood the general righteousness.
A few days later, Mu Liangji, who had returned to his hometown, also left, and when he said goodbye, he also said to Qin Xiu:
"I didn't expect that when I left the capital, I would still be able to get acquainted with you, little brother Qin Xiu, and I didn't know that I would be able to see you again when I had the opportunity, if I had the opportunity, I still hope that you could come to my homeland to see me, it is best to come to me to be an official or something, I will be old enough to touch your light." β
Mu Liangji left the address of his hometown, so that Qin Xiu could go there when he had the opportunity, and if his descendants were willing to come to fight piracy, they would definitely come to Qin Xiu..................................................................................................................
If the emperor succeeds to the throne with a concubine, the biological mother is the queen mother, and if the mother-in-law is also there, she is the queen mother, and the mother-in-law is usually above the biological mother, the queen mother; But if the biological mother's status is too low, she can't be called the queen mother, at most she can only be respected as the imperial concubine, but she can be corrected as the queen mother in the future.
If the emperor succeeds as a side branch, the stepmother (the former emperor and empress) is the queen mother, and the stepmother must be recognized as the mother-in-law, and the biological mother still maintains her original status, and will not be named the queen mother because of this.
If the successor emperor is the same generation as the previous emperor, or even the elder of the first emperor, the legal mother of the emperor himself will still not be named the empress dowager, such as the mother of the Guangxu Emperor, and the empress of the previous dynasty will be given the emblem by the successor emperor, such as Empress Yi'an of the Ming Dynasty and Empress Jiashun of the Qing Dynasty.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, the system of "mothers and sons are expensive" was implemented, and as long as the prince born to a harem woman was named a prince, he was given death, whether it was a palace maid, a concubine, or even a queen. However, the young prince naturally needs the care of others, so there is the so-called Empress Dowager Bao (or Empress Dowager), that is, after the new emperor ascends the throne, the nanny of the new emperor is the queen mother. However, the system of mothers dying and children being expensive was too cruel, causing everyone in the harem to be in danger, and no concubines were willing to give birth to princes, so they were no longer strictly implemented after the middle and late Northern Wei Dynasty. There were three kinds of empress dowagers in the court of the Northern Wei Dynasty: (1) the emperor's biological mother; (2) The emperor's nanny - called "Empress Dowager Bao"; (3) The empress of the former emperor who did not give birth to a prince.
Politics of foreign relatives
In the Han Dynasty, the empress dowager and her family played a very important role in political life, known as the politics of foreign relatives. Especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the middle and late periods, because the emperor ascended the throne at a young age, his biological mother was able to take charge of the government, so that the Eastern Han Dynasty had six empress dowagers in the dynasty;
