Empress Dowager Cheng

Empress Dowager Cheng (程太后, personal name unknown) (died c.December 334[1]) was an empress dowager of the Jie-led Later Zhao dynasty of China.

Her brother Cheng Xia was one of Shi Le's key advisors, particularly after Zhang Bin's death.

As he wanted to establish his authority in the court, he let Consort Cheng frame Zhang Pi as a favorable knight-errant that would harm the society and should be removed.

After Shi Le died in August 333, Shi Hu quickly seized power in a coup d'état and killed Cheng Xia and another key advisor of Shi Le, Xu Guang (徐光).

After her death, Consort Cheng was made empress dowager, but neither she nor her son had any real power.
