In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy (1449), Emperor Mingying's Zhu Qizhen personally conquered Wala, but suffered a "change in Tumu Fort", not only suffered heavy losses, but also was captured by Wala himself. So, after her son was captured by Vala, how did Empress Sun do?
According to the "Biography of Ming Shi Houfei", after Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured, Empress Sun only "sent a few cold clothes", that is, sent some cold clothes. Emperor Mingyingzong's empress Dowager Qian spent money to redeem people, and the Biography of Ming Shi Houfei contains, "Emperor Yingzong hunted in the north and poured into the palace to greet him", and this was still in the context of the imperial court's agreement at that time to first try to redeem Ming Yingzong with gold and silver.
Since the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty had strictly forbidden harem interference in politics, and even Empress Ma, who was deeply respected by Zhu Yuanzhang, could only privately make some suggestions to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Qi Town
Although Emperor Mingyingzong ascended the throne at the age of eight and was still young, at that time, the outer court had Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and other "three Yang" auxiliary governments, and the empress dowager Zhang Shi managed the inner court, and Empress Sun did not actually participate much in the imperial government. At the same time, even if Empress Zhang's status was revered and subject to her ancestral training, she did not participate too much in the government, but only managed the affairs of the palace and taught the emperor's study, and it was precisely under her restrictions that Wang Zhen was always unable to govern.
After Emperor Mingying's capture of Zhu Qizhen, although empress dowager had died, Empress Sun still had little say in imperial politics. Although the succession of Zhu Qiyu and the subsequent changes in the seizure of the door have all nodded their heads in agreement, but it is already the trend of the times, her role is actually not great, as for those things about her son, she can only wait for the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Qiyu to discuss a result with the ministers before deciding what to do.
