Guo Wei was born in poverty, but he was brave. He helped Hedong to make Liu Zhiyuan establish the post-Han regime, made great contributions to his life, abandoned all official positions and made Tang an envoy.

In the third year of Ganyou (950), Liu Chengyou, a Yin Di of the later Han Dynasty, was tired of being bossed around by his ministers and sent someone to Yedu to execute Guo Wei. Guo Wei then launched a mutiny, attacked Kaifeng in the south and overthrew the later Han Dynasty. The following year, a week after the publication of Peanut, it was called Guang Shun. During his reign, he advocated frugality, was open-minded and reformed malpractice, which made the political and economic situation in the northern region tend to improve.

Extended data:

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.

Under his careful management, the long-term war-torn situation in China began to turn to reunification, and there were signs of enriching the people and strengthening the country, which laid a solid foundation for the cause of Zhou Shizong and Zhao Kuangyin.

Guo Wei loved his wife deeply, and after her death, she never married another queen. On the one hand, to commemorate his forgetfulness, 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.
