He created a nation, why the heirs are people with different surnames

This is the last dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which existed for only ten years, and its name is Hou Zhou. From the founding of the country in 951 A.D. to the rebellion of Zhao Kuangyin and Chenqiao in 960, although it existed for only 10 years, it went through three generations of emperors, and what is more legendary is that the Later Zhou.

Why are the emperors of the second and third generations different from the emperors who founded the country? <>

The founder of the Later Zhou Dynasty - Guo Wei, was born in a civil servant family in the Later Jin Dynasty, originally a well-off family, but unfortunately the times were turbulent, Guo Wei was born a few years ago, his father was killed, and his mother also died on the way, a well-off family disappeared like this, leaving Guo Wei alone to be raised by his aunt, and Guo Wei entered Li Jitao's army as a soldier when he grew up. Guo Wei repeatedly made miraculous achievements in the army, and then appointed under Liu Zhiyuan, the general of the Later Jin Dynasty, and made many achievements in the battle, and later Liu Zhiyuan built the "Later Han", named Guo Wei as the privy deputy envoy, Liu entrusted Guo Wei to Guo Wei before his death, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he has always been suspicious of Guo Wei, after all, Guo Wei has so many military merits, and he is already a master of high merit. The new emperor sent people to assassinate him many times, Guo Wei's wife was all killed, and Guo Wei, who was forced to be helpless, entered the capital in the name of "Qing Jun's side", ascended the throne and became the emperor, and changed the name of the country to "Zhou".

After ascending the throne, Guo Wei worked hard and sympathized with the people. But the leader was not so easy to be, and Guo Wei died three years later. <>

Guo Wei did not pass the throne to his own son before he died, but passed it to Chai Rong with a different surname, why is this?

It turned out that Guo Wei's son had died long before Guo Wei, and Guo Wei and Chai Rong had long been commensurate with father and son, Chai Rong made Guo Wei's righteous son, his own son died, and he could only pass on the throne to Chai Rong of the opposite sex, as for Guo Wei's nephew and the like, there is also a person named Li Chongjin, but Li Chongjin himself has no ability, and they are all people with different surnames, why not pass it on to someone who has the ability and trusts him very much? As a result, Chai Rong became the second emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, "Later Zhou Shizong".

It should refer to Guo Wei, the founding king of the Later Zhou Dynasty, because his sons were killed by Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty, so he made his adopted son Chai Rong his heir.

At that time, none of his biological sons survived, and he had no choice but to pass on the throne to someone of the opposite sex to inherit his last wish.

Because Guo Wei's son died long before Guo Wei, nephews, Li Chongjin has no ability, and Guo Wei and Chai Rong have long been known as father and son, Chai Rong is Guo Wei's righteous son, so Chai Rong became the second emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty "Later Zhou Shizong".
