As we all know, among the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Houzhou was a very special regime, and Guo Wei, the taizu of Later Zhou, exerted great efforts to govern after he took the throne, so that Houzhou had signs of national prosperity and strength in a very short period of time. Because when Guo Wei rebelled, the Later Han Yin Emperor brutally killed Guo Wei's entire family, so before his death, Guo Wei passed the throne of Later Zhou to his wife and nephew Chai Rong, which is unique in Chinese history, and history proves that Guo Wei did not look away.
But the question is, at that time, Zhou Shizong's biological father Chai Shouli was still alive, so how did Chai Rong treat his biological father? In fact, he did not bring his biological father into the palace, because Chai Rong's throne came from his adoptive father Guo Wei, so Chai Rong only arranged for his father to go to Luoyang to raise himself. As an emperor, Chai Shouli had to bow down to him, but from the ancient filial piety, it was a great rebellion to let his father kneel, so since he became emperor, Chai Rong had not seen his biological father, which was really regrettable.
After Chai Rong's death, Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of the instability of the Later Zhou regime and soon launched the Chen Qiaoyi Mutiny and established the Great Song regime. In order to appease the people, Zhao Kuangyin first had to face the young son and empress dowager of Hou Zhou Chairong, and for them, Zhao Kuangyin made proper arrangements, so that they generally maintained their living identities. But at this time, Chai Rong's biological father Chai Shouli had lived to the age of 67 in Luoyang and was still alive, so how would Zhao Kuangyin treat him?
In fact, for Chai Rong's biological father in Luoyang, Zhao Kuangyin did not embarrass him, and even made him crown prince, which should be known as the highest honorary title in ancient times, although there was no real power, but it was enough to show that Zhao Kuangyin attached great importance to Chai Shouli. In addition, Zhao Kuangyin still arranged for Chai Shouli to settle in Luoyang, and did not reduce his fiefdom and Feng Lu, so even if the dynasty changed, Chai Rong's biological father Chai Shouli raised flowers and birds in Luoyang, and his life was very comfortable.
Many officials living in Luoyang saw that Chai Shouli was so respected, so they tried every means to seduce him, so as to quickly make Luoyang City a miasma, and the common people at that time called Chai Shouli and 9 other high-ranking officials who committed wrongdoing as "Ten Fathers", for which Luoyang Yushi also reported to Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin laughed and tossed with him. After 7 years, the 73-year-old Chai Shouli finally lived his comfortable and quiet life, and for him, Zhao Kuangyin can also be said to be benevolent and righteous.
