Guo Wei was born in troubled times, grew up in the army, was brave and powerful, generous and passive, had a little knowledge of the art of war, was good at comforting soldiers, and moved to the high position of Tang envoy with meritorious military service. Finally, backed by military strength, it was replaced by the later Han Dynasty, a representative figure of the five dynasties military dictatorship.
In advocating frugality, severely punishing corrupt officials, and forbidding the army to disturb the people, Guo Wei also took some beneficial measures, which made the northern society, which had been extremely chaotic since the end of the Tang Dynasty, embark on the road of stability.
Guo Wei loved his wife deeply, and after her death, she never married another queen. On the one hand, in memory of his dead wife, on the other hand, he saw that Chai Rong was really talented, so he passed the throne to his unrelated wife and nephew Chai Rong. This is unique in China's history, and history has proved that his choice is correct.
Role experience:
Chai Rong was born on September 24th (October 27th, 921/KLOC-0) in Chaijiazhuang, Yaoshan, xing zhou (now Longyao County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province). His grandfather Chai Weng (whose name has been lost) and his father Chai Shouli are both famous local tycoons. Later, due to the decline of family wealth, Chai Rong, who was not yet a virgin, defected to his aunt Chai (Queen San Jose) who married fellow countryman Guo Wei.
Chai Rong was generous by nature, and helped his uncle Guo Wei to deal with all kinds of affairs, which was deeply loved by Guo Wei. Chai had no children, so he adopted Chai Rong as his son. At that time, Guo Wei's family was not rich, so Chai Rong went out to do tea business with wealthy businessmen in Yedu, and traveled to and from Jiangling and other places. In the meantime, I learned to ride and shoot, and learned a little about history books and Huang Lao's theoretical works. As an adult, he abandoned business to join the army and followed Guo Wei.
