After Zhao Kuangyin was imbued with a yellow robe, what happened to Chai Rong’s seven sons?

After Chen Qiao's rebellion, the foundation established by the two heroes was handed over to Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. At the same time, the two emperors were also unhappy fathers. Guo Wei's two biological sons were killed by Liu Chengyou, the hidden emperor of the Han Dynasty, so he passed the throne to his adopted son Chai Rong (Empress Chai's nephew). Chai Rong's first three sons were also killed by Liu Chengyou, and The throne was passed to his fourth son Chai Zongxun. His other three sons had tortuous and touching life experiences.

Chai Rong had seven sons, but the first three sons were killed by Liu Chengyou, Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty, in the third year of Qianyou (950 AD) in the late Han Dynasty. Chai Rong's fourth son was Chai Zongxun, the Duke of the late Zhou Dynasty. In the sixth year of Xiande (959 AD), Chai Rong died, and seven-year-old Chai Zongxun came to the throne.

Chai Rong (921-959), the last Zhou emperor of the Five Dynasties (954-959), was called Zhou Shizong. He was born in Yaoshan, Xingzhou (now Longyao, Xingtai, Hebei). He was the eighth grandson of Chai Shao, the prime minister of Qiao State in the early Tang Dynasty. Chai Rong's grandfather Chai Weng and father Chai Shouli were well-known local families. Chai Rong was the adopted son of Guo Wei, the Taizu of the Zhou Dynasty, the nephew of the Chai family, and the Queen Mother of the Later Zhou Dynasty. He is one of the few emperors in China whose relatives have inherited the family.

Chai Rong had seven sons, three of whom were killed by Liu Chengyou, the emperor of the late Han Dynasty. When Chai Rong died, his eldest son Chai Zongxun was only eight years old. His husband forced Chai Zongxun to give himself the status of Zen and established the great Song Dynasty. He was very kind to Chai Rong's descendants and did not kill his son! Chai Rong was the second emperor of the Zhou Dynasty after the Five Dynasties. He died at the age of 39. After Chai Rong's death, his seven-year-old son Chai Zongxun inherited the throne of Emperor Zhou Gong. However, the Chenqiao Mutiny occurred later. Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe, and Chai Zongxun was forced to give way to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin became emperor and established the Song Dynasty, which fell in the late Zhou Dynasty.
