Cheng Wai set up a study in Yayuan, carefully cultivating Xing Zhen. 1852, as the daughter of a Manchu official, Xing Zhen was elected to the palace and was favored by Emperor Xianfeng, who had been in charge of the Manchu government for 48 years.

Extended information on Cixi's family history.
Cixi's father's name is Cheng Wai. He was born in the tenth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, that is, 1805. It has been 23 years since I arrived in Daoguang for eight years, that is, 1828. This year, Cixi's father was 23 years old and became a pen holder. It is the lowest civil servant in every yamen. In modern terms, it is a secretary, a secretary and a junior secretary.
The duty is to copy and draft. In departments at all levels, real officials are not responsible for writing drafts, but only for making comments after writing them, then revising them to satisfaction and finalizing them. That's what I did, and I wrote my official title in Manchu. Translated into modern words, the definition is a copywriter, a very low-level copywriter, and now a secretary.
In the next six years, I became a second-class pen. Although I was promoted, my position remains the same, and I am still a copying secretary. At the age of 34, Zheng Hui was promoted to the eight-product brush paste style, which means that many years passed from the age of 23 to 34, and 1 1 years passed, and he was still a pen paste style as an official, but although his official position was very low, his contact surface was relatively large, which also laid a certain foundation for his future career!
So during this period, after more than ten years in Zheng Hui, things began to take a turn for the better. In the following ten years, it can be said that lucky strike, after several promotions, was officially promoted with the style of pen-and-paste of paradigm documents. Six product officials should be big officials. Later, he was promoted by the official department and became the foreign minister of the official department. This official has been promoted to a higher level-from a five-product official!
Later, Shangshu of the official department became a doctor of the official department, and he was an official of Zhengwu. It was not until the twenty-ninth year of Daoguang 1849 that he was promoted to be a Taoist priest in Guisui, Shanxi Province. It can be said that it is a promotion all the way. In the first ten years, I was unknown, and in the second ten years, I rose all the way.
