The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are inconspicuous in the long river of ancient Chinese history. There was the Sheng Tang Dynasty in the front, and then there was the Extreme Song Dynasty, and the history of warlord division in the middle looks chaotic. But it is this chaotic history that has gathered the most grassroots emperors in history: the Yellow Nest of the Fallen List, the pig feeder Zhu Wen, the three generations of poor peasant kings...
Some of these emperors, who were born in the grass, relied on the fierce schemes of their hearts; some relied on the bravery of sweeping through a thousand armies like a sweep; and some of them came from a lowly background and had nothing, but with the help of the sages, they changed their lives against the heavens. This person is the founding emperor of the last dynasty of the five dynasties: Guo Wei.
First, the sexual encounter that changed history
Li Cunxun, the first emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, is definitely worthy of being called the first drama fan among the emperors of previous dynasties. For this reason, he did not even enter the harem a few times. The harem was outnumbered, and this was not at all like the treatment that a founding emperor deserved. As a result, in order to please Li Cunxun, some ministers recruited beautiful women nationwide.

However, the orders of the superiors will definitely change their flavor when passed down layer by layer. When the beauty pageant arrived at the county official, it became a clear robbery. When the officials saw whose girl was beautiful, they snatched it without saying a word and pulled her into the palace overnight. Sixteen-year-old Xingzhou beauty Chai Shouyu was snatched up in this way.
The Chai family had been an official in the past, and the family was also quite powerful. Therefore, the cultivated Chai Shouyu is not only outstanding in appearance, but also elegant in demeanor, which makes her almost selected at a glance.
It's just that these officials didn't expect that Li Cunxun, the first friend emperor in history, was too obsessed with opera, and thousands of beautiful ladies were sent in, and few were favored. Li Cunxun was emperor for only four years before he was overthrown by Li Siyuan. Before these stolen beauties were favored, they were stamped with the stamp of "second marriage" and dismissed from the palace by the new emperor.
From Yunying's unmarried maiden to an unfavored concubine, and finally dismissed from the palace, in just four years, Chai Shouyu's identity changed dramatically, until he met his family, saw his parents and brother, and his two-year-old nephew Chai Rong were very healthy, and his sad mood eased slightly.
When the family met, they asked for warmth, and it coincided with heavy rain at this time, and the Chai family decided to rest at the inn first. It was at this time that Guo Wei entered the house in the face of a violent storm.
The man was dressed in a military uniform, tall and mighty. In his twenties, he had dozens of years old on his face. With one mouth full of cordial Xingzhou dialect, Chai Shouyu inadvertently looked at it a few more times. Coinciding with the Gathering of the Chai family in this inn, it was also in Xingzhou dialect to ask for warmth, which also caused Guo Wei to look at this side a few times.
The two looked at each other, making Guo Wei fall. He had lived for more than twenty years, and he had never seen such an elegant and beautiful beauty. But the ancient woman paid attention to reticence, and such a long gaze made Guo Wei a little embarrassed, so he had to withdraw his gaze and go back to the room to rest.
All this was seen by the innkeeper. The shopkeeper was interested in the beauty of adulthood, and specially told the Chai Shouyu family that the man just now was also a Yaoshan man from Xingzhou, their hometown, named Guo Wei, a cavalryman, and he had a louder nickname, called Guo Que'er.
The daughter stared at a strange man like this, which made the Chai family a little embarrassed. But Chai Shouyu lived in the imperial palace for four years, and although the emperor had not seen it several times, the chancellor had seen it a lot. She saw Guo Wei qi Yu Xuan Ang, born extremely expensive, and will have a future appearance. So he asked the store about this Guo Weike had been married.
The treasurer shook his head and told Chai Shouyu that this Guo Wei had lost both of his parents since he was a child, and he was the only one in the family, and there was no room in the room. After joining the army, he had a salary and silver, and he was barely able to feed the whole family and not be hungry. In such a poor family, which girl would marry?
But even so, for Guo Wei as a person, the store's words are also good to hear. Because he did not have parental discipline since he was a child, Guo Wei had a flamboyant personality and liked to fight unevenly. Not only did he drink and play with money, but he also killed people after getting drunk. Although the murder was a street fighter, after all, it was a criminal case, but the store thought about Guo Wei's conditions, which would make the rich woman in front of her retreat, and the words were not complete.
Unexpectedly, when Chai Shouyu heard it, he discussed marrying Guo Wei with his parents. The Chai family was surprised to hear their daughter's decision. I think that my daughter is a person who has served the emperor, how can she lower herself and marry a poor boy? No matter how bad it is, it should be a state official. However, Chai Shouyu persuaded his parents by virtue of his ability to see people, saying that this person would have a career in the future, and his official position was far above that of a state official. Although the Chai family looked left and right, and did not see Guo Wei's superiority, after all, the daughter came out of the palace and had seen the world, and the people she looked up to must not be bad, so she entrusted the shop to be a matchmaker and became this marriage.
Second, the tuning of the Kennaisuke
In the chaotic world of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the story of the red and pink lady with the hero of the grass has long been common. However, with the help of Xian Neisuke, Guo Wei was the only one who went all the way from the jianghu to the founding emperor.
After becoming related to Guo Wei, Chai Shouyu not only became the head of the house and took care of Guo Wei's daily life, but also became Guo Wei's tutor. Fortunately, Guo Wei had attended school for a few years when he was young, and he was a person with HuiGen, and Chai Shouyu only needed to click one or two.
Married to a thousand gold noblewomen as wives, no worries about food and clothing, and a private teacher, Guo Wei made rapid progress. In just one year, Guo Wei's bandit qi was hidden, replaced by deep and introverted.
Guo Wei thought that he was married to the woman of the previous emperor, and after educating her, his ideal could no longer be a small battalion commander and a company commander, and only those who aspired to become a general, or even the emperor, were worthy of the central level of his wife's insight.
Facts have also proved that in the chaotic world, money and power are all external things overnight, and only foresight is an eternal treasure. Under the guidance of Chai Shouyu, a senior staff officer, Guo Wei stepped on the springboard steadily, accurately, and fiercely in several wars, and rose one by one. When Guo Wei defected to Hedong Jiedu to make Liu Zhiyuan under his command, he was already a bold and talented Confucian general, and he made great contributions to Liu Zhiyuan's claim to the title of emperor.
3. Posthumously crown the Empress
Beautiful and elegant, and far-sighted Chai Shouyu, did his duty as a wife to take care of Guo Wei, it can be said that Guo Wei has today, Chai Shouyu is the greatest.
But as a woman, especially an ancient woman, Chai Shouyu had an unspeakable pain. That is, they have been married for many years, but they have no children under their knees, and they have not given birth to a son and a half daughter for Guo Wei.
After discussing with Guo Wei, Chai Shouyu decided to take her brother's son, her favorite little nephew Chai Rong, as her adopted son. Under her teaching, Chai Rong grew from a short-sighted and short-sighted rural child to a generation of emperors, which is enough to prove Chai Shouyu's ability and insight.
(Chai Rong)
After Liu Zhiyuan's death, Emperor Yin took the throne, and the power of the imperial government fell into the hands of military generals such as Guo Wei, Yang Ying, and Shi Hongzhao. The new emperor had the false name of an emperor, but he had no real power. He knew that guo wei was the leader of the DPRK and china, and if he wanted to recover the regime that had fallen by the side, he could only get rid of Guo Wei first.
At this time, Emperor Yelü Of Liao sent an army to Hou Han, and Emperor Yin sent Guo Wei to lead a heavy army to meet the enemy. After Guo Wei left, the Hidden Emperor could finally take a breather. He decided to exercise his right to be emperor and first made his favorite concubine Geng Shi empress.
However, Yang Ying and Shi Hongzhao were both rough warriors, and without Guo Wei's elegance and depth, they could not appreciate the deep meaning of the emperor's power. Their fierce opposition left the emperor to resign.
Soon, the Geng clan died of depression, and the emperor decided to be buried as an empress, but Yang Ying, Shi Hongzhao, and others still thought it was inappropriate. The emperor was enraged. At the instigation of several favored courtiers, he ordered the killing of Yang Ying, Shi Hongzhao, and others for treason, and the killing of their relatives and party.
Guo Wei heard about this in Yecheng and wrote to the two to cry out for their grievances. The Hidden Emperor suddenly became murderous, and ordered people to kill Guo Wei's family members in the city. After hearing the news, Guo Wei immediately raised an army south in the name of "Qing Jun's side" to overthrow the Later Han regime. Both Chai Shouyu and Guo Wei's sons were killed, but fortunately Chai Rong was raised by Guo Wei's side and followed Guo Wei in battle, surviving.
Unfortunately, Chai Shouyu did not see Guo Wei ascend to the emperor's throne, and he died under the sword of the Hidden Emperor. Later, Guo Wei was proclaimed emperor, and after his establishment, he always remembered his wife who supported him to ascend to the emperor's throne. She was posthumously named empress, and announced to the civil and military officials that she was his only empress, and she had never been made an empress again. And eventually, he passed on his throne to his unrelated nephew Chai Rong.
summary
Chai Shouyu's wisdom was discerning, and he used his foresight to cultivate Guo Wei from a grassy mang to an emperor. Guo Wei claimed the title of empress, and also thanked Chai Shouyu for his support, posthumously named her the only empress in his life, and also passed the throne to his nephew. It can be seen that the majestic imperial power has not blocked Guo Wei's friendship with his wife Chai Shouyu.
