The Death of Ming Yuan Emperor's Two Empresses and Bao Empress Dowager Having the Upper Hand in the Northern Wei Dynasty

Mi Empress Du and Zhaoai Empress Yao,who were doted on by Ming Yuan Emperor,passed away at the fifth year of Taichang Period,which was three years before Ming Yuan Emperor's death.After that there was no empress in the Imperial Palace.After Ming Yuan Emperor's death,Taiwu Emperor's wet nurse Dou,who was conferred as Bao Empress Dowager,not only had the upper hand in the Imperial Palace,but also interfered the government affairs of the Northern Wei Dynasty.With the above-mentioned textual research,the article attempts to illustrate that: To prevent the emperor's mother from interfering politics,the regulation of son getting dignity at the cost of his mother's death was established in the Northern Wei Dynasty,but from this the rule of wet nurse fostering a crown prince was derived,which led to wet nurse interfering politics,and the result went against the original intention of the regulation of Son-dignity and Mother-death.
