Speaking of Zhou Shizong and Chai Rong, we can't help but think of the pattern of war, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period with broken hoofs, from 906 to 979 AD, which was a period of great division in the history of China. It is in this period of constant disputes and the emergence of emperors like mushrooms after rain that a wise SHEN WOO appeared and was admired by later generations. He is Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong. The war caused the economy of that period to be very tired, but the governance after Chai Rong succeeded to the throne greatly improved the national strength and economy of the later Zhou Dynasty. As for the later Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, he actually knew Chai Rong and had an affair with Chai Rong. History is so interesting that the power-snatchers of the former and later dynasties are linked together in this way.

Chai Rong is a kind and cautious man. When I was young, I handled all kinds of affairs for Guo Wei, and I always handled them properly. These Guo Wei are all in my eyes, so I like him very much. Later, Chai Rong studied riding and shooting and cultural knowledge, joined the military world of Guo Wei and assisted him in his work. Later, after the establishment of Guo Wei, Chai Rong was worshipped as a prince. Chai Rong is also a man with wisdom in his heart and verve in his chest. During his reign after he ascended the throne, he knew everything about war and other affairs, and he had plans and strategies in his heart.

When Zhou Shizong Chai Rong died suddenly from overwork, his youngest son Chai Zongxun succeeded to the throne. But in that turbulent era, the weak little emperor was finally pushed around and replaced by others. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin immediately appeared as the leading role. In the late Zhou Dynasty, because Zhao Kuangyin had been working beside Chai Rong, his ability was appreciated by Chai Rong, and he was later appointed as a general. So now it seems that without Chai Rong's support, Zhao Kuangyin's talent would not stand out so quickly. After the little emperor succeeded to the throne, Zhao Kuangyin led an army to resist the invasion of the Khitan, and then there was a mutiny in Chen Qiao, and Zhao Kuangyin became the later Song Taizu.

The rulers of the two dynasties, Chai Rong and Song Taizu, inherited and applied the general plan of governing the country and army building in the Chai Rong period in the Song Dynasty. It can be said that the last week of Chai Rong's governance was a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty.
