上初即位，祖母傅太后、母丁太后皆在，兩家先貴。 When Ai first ascended, his grandmother, Grand Empress Dowager Fu, and his mother, Empress Dowager Ding, were still living, and both the Fu and Ding kindreds already held great power.

傅太后從弟喜先為大司馬輔政，數諫，失太后指，免官。 Fu Xi, a cousin of the grand empress dowager on the Fu side, had served as regent grand marshal; after repeated remonstrance that crossed her wishes, he was cashiered.
