The luckiest beggar in history: married the emperor's concubine and became emperor himself 20 years later. Which emperor is this?

The luckiest beggar in history was Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. His queen Chai Yuan was the concubine of the later Tang Dynasty. After his death, Chai's concubines were all dismissed and returned to their hometown. Chai Jin met Guo Wei who escaped on the road. Chai fell in love with Guo Wei at first sight and married him. After that, Guo Wei successfully embarked on his official career and established the Later Zhou Dynasty.

When it comes to beggars and emperors, no one in history is more professional than Zhu Yuanzhang. He is a serious beggar, but he is not as lucky as Guo Wei. Guo Wei fled hastily and was once a beggar. Just after the death of Tang, his harem concubines were dismissed and returned to their hometown. Chai Shi is one of them. Chai Shi met Guo Wei, and Guo Wei was dressed as a beggar, but Guo Wei was a big man, and he was treated with Chai Shi in troubled times.

So Chai entrusted himself to him, and Chai also gave his savings in the palace for many years to Guo Wei. It was also because of Chai Shi's support that Guo Wei had the opportunity to come to the later Han Dynasty and embark on his official career. Coupled with his own military talents, he soon made a name for himself in the court and became a famous star in the later Han Dynasty. Later, his official career grew bigger and bigger, and he became our guardian.

After Guo Wei became famous, he did not forget Chai's support for himself and was very kind to Chai. Later, after he established the Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rong, Chai's nephew, was adopted as his adopted son because his son died young and had no children. Later, after his death, Chai Rong became the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, Chai married Guo Wei, and finally their family became the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty.
