During the reign of Shi, he had little contact with the whole harem, and only met the harem in the necessary ceremony of major festivals, which can be seen from the performance of courtiers at that time. Zheng De may have a better relationship with his grandmother Empress Dowager Cixi. Although he is not a grandmother, according to the available information, he is really indifferent to this mother.
During Zheng Desheng's illness, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress took care of him, leaving him alone outside the palace, and his affection was extremely weak.
Zhang Taihou does have ambitions for power and profit. He once sent an imperial edict to the cabinet, trying to change the "imperial edict" of Empress Dowager Cixi into "imperial edict". Only the will of the emperor can call it an imperial edict, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Taihou wants to be an emperor. Of course, the cabinet will not agree with this terrible idea.
Although Zhang Taihou is ambitious, his IQ is not enough. When Xiaozong is around, she can seek benefits for her family by looking for people. After Wu Zong acceded to the throne, she didn't take her advice at all, and the only tricks that could be used didn't work. Therefore, she was depressed for more than ten years. She finally waited until her son died and the heir was a foreign child. She thought she could finally stand up straight, so she had the stupid idea of changing her will into an imperial edict.
This stupid woman, who doesn't care about her husband or her son, is a selfish wife and an irresponsible mother. She thought that after her son died, she could manage a foreign emperor with no foundation, and her life would be better. Who would have thought that she had met a mean and ungrateful Zhu Houzong?
Zhang Taihou knew nothing about spiritual practice. Queen Jiang was still shaking the queen mother's prestige when she entered the palace, which offended Sejong and Queen Jiang. Zhu Houzong was also a gourmet. Later, she was extremely mean to her, and her old age was rather bleak.
Zhang Taihou was originally the happiest queen of the Ming Dynasty. Her husband is a gentle, courteous and humble dutiful son. She is the only woman in her life and is almost obedient to her. Her son was made a prince very early. Although self-willed, he is also a smart and lovely child, kind-hearted and as emotional as his father.
How many women envy being able to keep such two men? Unfortunately, she didn't know how to cherish the blessings, and she was selfish and shallow, which led to the loss of the heirs of Xiaozong and Wuzong. She also had a tragic ending, alas, with a sigh.
