Guangxu was probably too scared of his mother and aunt. Both Yehenara women were both fierce. Cixi got a higher status than his mother. So his mother didn't get any additional titles from him. Jiajing was a fatuous emperor. Jiajing's parents didn't deserve the emperor and empress titles when their son paid no contribution to his empire.
Great video. I loved learning about this topic. The succession laws of imperial China were quite interesting. Thank you so much for this video. I am looking forward to your video about the Great Rites Controversy. Thank you again for this video.
Thanks for doing this video and answering my question, I am really glad cause I wanted to why his mother wasn’t the empress dowager. Edit: I do believe that Guangxu would have given his birth mother and parent the title if he was able to live after CIxi and change a lot of her policies. But sadly we all know he was only emperor in name.
After get the answer of this question i got a new one. What were happen if CI XI passt away in this Time?🤔 For the another Emperor must be very hard to call the real Parents as Aunt and Uncle and not Mother and Father😐. Thank you Bing.
I am guessing that the example of Jiajing promoting his parents to emperor and empress couldn't really be cited as a reason for Guangxu to promote his own parents given Jiajing's bad reputation as an emperor and how he treated Hongzhi's empress, who was the empress dowager during his reign.
When Emperor Jiajing did it, it caused a huge scandal in the Ming court. The Qing court was especially particular about social order, so they would have been weary of such promotions.
I still don’t understand how they allowed women who weren’t born to the imperial family to have so much control, instead of immediately taking the power back and giving it to an imperial member.

Jiajing must have been a filial son to his parents.

Ooooo I would love to learn more about this!

Failing to honor the parents caused a curse to end the great Qing 🤨
That is an interesting observation.
