Edit Profile梁貴人恭懷皇后
Career
Crown Prince Qing was deposed, and Prince Zhao was created crown prince in his stead. The Liang clan did not dare to celebrate openly, but they were happy about that development. Empress Dou and her clan were not pleased, and, wanting to make sure that the Liangs would not step in and exert influence on the young prince, they also made false accusations against Liang Song, and he was arrested and died in prison in 83.
His family was exiled to modern northern Vietnam.
Her son would succeed to the throne in 88, believing that Empress Dowager Dou was his mother. He also posthumously rewarded his mother the title of empress.
