The two great unified dynasties of Sui and Tang have allowed the people to enjoy a stable life for nearly three hundred years, but in the decades after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, there has been another chaotic world, in this era, the regime changes frequently, and the dream of calling the emperor can be said to be your side singing and I appeared, but no one has the arrogance to unify the world, until the emergence of a person, let the people see hope, he is the Later Zhou Taizu Guo Wei.
In 904, Guo Wei was born in a family of eunuchs, and he had a flying finch stabbed in his neck, so he was also known as Guo Queer. However, when Guo Wei was very young,
His father was divided into Youzhou Jiedu

He followed his mother for his life. After growing up, Guo Wei was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and also practiced a good martial art, and became a soldier in the chaotic world.
During the Later Tang and Later Jin dynasties, Guo Wei was just an ordinary officer until he met his Bole Liu Zhiyuan. Under his command, Guo Wei's ability to command the army to fight was fully utilized, and he was one of Liu Zhiyuan's most trusted cronies.
After Liu Zhiyuan ascended the throne, Guo Wei was promoted to deputy envoy of the Privy Council, in charge of military affairs. Just a year later, Liu Zhiyuan of Fu Bo became seriously ill, and before his death, he appointed Guo Wei and several others as auxiliary ministers to assist the young emperor Liu Chengyou.
In order to repay Liu Zhiyuan's kindness, Guo Wei did his best to serve the Later Han, led troops to conquer the four sides, and made great achievements. However, it was this performance of the Lord of Merit that made Liu Chengyou and his favored courtiers extremely jealous, and they always wanted to put Guo Wei to death.
Guo Wei was not as foolish as many people, and he chose to resist. In this year, he was 47 years old, and just a month after the uprising, he was called emperor of Houzhou.
In fact, before Guo Wei became emperor, there were prophecies that he was going to become emperor. At that time, when Guo Wei was in Taiyuan, there was a Taoist nun with the same surname as Taizu, and after seeing him, he said to others: "My fellow sect is a great immortal in the heavens, with meat horns on his head, and should be the monarch of the world." ”
Another time, during the war, the army camped in the Jinci Temple. At this time, the house collapsed, and several people living in the same room were killed, only Guo Wei was unscathed.
Later, when Han Gaozu was serving as a bodyguard, He transferred Guo Wei to his side. Next to the official house where he lived, there was a family surnamed Wu, and there was a maid named Jia Niang in the family, who was fascinated by mountain ghosts. This mountain ghost can speak human language and likes to throw tiles, and no one in the nearby neighborhood dares to pass by the Wu family's house. But as long as Guo Wei went to the Wu family, the ghost was quiet, and after Taizu left, it was the same as before. This happens many times. Someone asked the ghost, "Since you are a ghost god and there were guests who came before, why are you quiet?" The mountain ghost said, "He's a big man." "Tell me how amazing it is!"
Later, after Guo Wei became emperor, he began to exert himself to govern. He had a lot of suffering from snacks, and he knew that what the war-torn people needed most was a stable life, so the first thing the empress did was to reduce the burden on the people, abolish many miscellaneous taxes, and build water conservancy to encourage production. In addition, Guo Wei also reformed the rule of officials and eliminated maladministration. He was frugal and took the lead in raising a clear wind. In just a few years, the following week became stronger and stronger, and the national strength grew stronger.
Guo Wei was not only a good emperor, but also a good husband. He married 4 widows in his lifetime, and all of them became his main chamber, which is a legend in terms of feelings.
Among them, the first lady chai was originally a concubine of Li Cunxun, and after being dismissed from the palace, she met the disgraced Guo Wei and resolutely bent down to marry. Chai and Guo Wei are a troubled couple with deep feelings, she has a great help to the rise of Guo Wei, but unfortunately did not wait for her husband to become emperor on the day she died of illness, and was later posthumously awarded the title of "Empress Shengmu".
The second lady, Yang Shi, was beautiful and virtuous, and had been married twice, and after Chai's death, she was married by Guo Wei and died soon after. The third wife, Zhang Shi, married Guo Wei after her husband's death, and because she remained in Tokyo, she was killed by Liu Chengyou after Guo Wei raised an army. The fourth lady of the Dong clan, virtuous and dignified, also married Guo Wei when she was widowed, and was later named a concubine, the husband and wife had a strong relationship, after Dong's death, the seriously ill Guo Wei was very ill, and half a year later he went away.
Guo Wei only served as emperor for three years, writing a heroic legend. He left his successor Chai Rong with a powerful empire and laid the foundation for the unification of the Zhao and Song dynasties. During Guo Wei's reign, he was diligent in government and loved the people, and was a generation of Ming emperors who were praised by thousands of people, and even the throne was willing to pass to his son Chai Rong with a different surname.
