"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager..."

"The wife of Zhang Gong, the governor of Zhangde Army, went to the palace to beg for an audience with his wife."

"Why did Mrs. Sui Guo enter the palace?" The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang were both surprised.

Zhang Fangping's wife Sui Guo's wife Ma is not a simple person.

Ma is the daughter of Ma Tiao.

Ma Tiao was not well-known in the country and few people knew about him.

But, he has a good father - Ma Gao.

Never heard of it? It doesn't matter, Ma Gao has a few good friends who are not very famous.

Their names are: Kou Zhun, Xiang Minzhong, Wang Dan, Li Hang, Zhang Yong...

These people, together with Ma Gao, formed the Jinshi Heavenly Group for the five years of Taiping and Xingguo.

Their relationship is very close!

Because these people are all in-laws!

For example, Ma Tiao's eldest son-in-law is Wang Yi, Wang Dan's second son.

His younger son-in-law is Zhang Fangping.

Now you know who was Zhang Fangping’s backer in his early days as an official, right?

The daughter born to Zhang Fangping and Ma later married Wang Gong.

Wang Gong's father is Wang Su, and his grandfather is Wang Dan...

Wang Gong and Su Shi are good friends, and their relationship is as close as that of brothers.

Therefore, Wang Gong was the most deeply implicated person in the Wutai Poetry Case. He was unlucky with Su Shi and was demoted to Binzhou on Guangnan West Road to supervise the liquor tax.

He was restored to power by imperial edict only last year, and he returned to the court with Su Shi and became Zong Zhengcheng.

Therefore, the reason why Zhang Fangping likes Su Shi so much is here - his son-in-law's best friend!

Therefore, Ma's relationship network in the palace is not simple.

At the very least, she can speak to the Empress Dowager Xiang - she is the biological mother of the Empress Dowager and the goddaughter of Mrs. Xiang.

It is the same as the status of the Huayang County Junwang family in front of the Empress Dowager.
