Chai Shouli's early years

Although Chai Rong adopted Guo Wei in his early years, his biological father Chai Shouli is still alive. After Chai Rong proclaimed himself emperor, his biological father Chai Shouli was awarded the honorary title of Dr. Jin Ziguanglu and proofreader. However, it is not as we modern people imagine that Chai Rong would make his father the emperor's father. The ancients emphasized "ceremony" most, and Chai Rong's throne came from his uncle Guo Wei. So he naturally regarded himself as the heir of the Guo family, and could only recognize the founding emperor Guo Wei as his father. Treat your biological father with courtesy and respect, but in etiquette, you should treat your biological mother (actually your aunt) as your brother. When Chai Rong proclaimed himself emperor, Chai Shouli had retired and enjoyed his old age in Luoyang. "In the life of Sejong (Chai Rong), I have never been to the capital." This is really the only way. According to etiquette, Chai Shouli, even an old uncle, should bow down when he sees the emperor. But in terms of filial piety, he is also the father of today's emperor, and the father kneels down to his son, which is not harmonious with the ceremony. Therefore, the father and son have never met each other since their son became emperor until his death.
