In the spring of the fifteenth year of Emperor Jing of the Chu Dynasty, the daughter of King An returned to Beijing. The following year, because Emperor Jing had no heirs, the daughter was of Gaozu's bloodline, so she was given the taboo name "Hua Jue", entered the jade plate, succeeded the emperor's family, and was granted the title of dowager. In the same year, Da Chu changed its reign name to "Si Ning".
Emperor Jing was weak and confined to his bed all year round. From the beginning, the princess has overseen the country as the crown prince. The princess said: "I am young and shallow, so I don't dare to specialize in national affairs." She asked the emperor to set up a political affairs department and send important ministers to handle affairs every day. It has been eight years since he ascended the throne. Tai women are perseverant, sensitive and eager to learn. All the masters praised it. Although she is a woman, she still has martial arts skills and is skilled in bow and horse.
The princess had been dignified since she was a child and kept silent. Emperor Jing sighed and said: "It is difficult for the descendants of the Zhao family. (The ancestors) have always asked for descendants more than those who prayed for Buddha and Buddhism, which makes people laugh. But I have a daughter and don't think about anything else." Empress Zhaoyi was standing by and said with a smile: "My son is very good, but he doesn't want to talk too much." People at that time thought it was true.
During the period when the eunuch was supervising the country, the country was fine, but there were signs of turmoil in the world. There is also something strange about the Chu court. Later generations looked at history and caught a glimpse of the latter (ascending the throne), who was known as the "Sining Queen" in history.
