There are many famous doctors in Chinese history, but there are not many female famous doctors. And among the few female famous doctors, there is one who has left a reputation for eternity, what is going on?
1.
Chun Yuyan, the word Shaofu, was a famous female doctor in the Western Han Dynasty during the Xuan Emperor period, and one of the recorded obstetricians and gynecologists in China. Because of her excellent medical skills and proficient in cutting pulses, she was even called "Bian Que in the Female Middle" by the people at that time.
has fame, technology, and "gender advantage", Chun Yuyan is of course very popular with wealthy ladies. Huo Xian, the wife of the general Huo Guang, often invited Chun Yuyan to come to her house to seek medical advice and talk about the world.
In 71 BC, Xu Pingjun, the empress of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, became pregnant, and on the recommendation of Huo Xian, Chun Yuyan became Xu Pingjun's attending physician. Chun Yuyan was grateful to Huo Xian, so he got closer to Huo Xian. As everyone knows, she is just a "tool man" cultivated by Huo Xian.
Once, because Chun Yuyan's husband wanted to be the supervisor of Anchi (the official who manages the salt pond in Anyi, which belongs to the fat poor), Chun Yuyan went to Huo Xian for help.
Huo Xian's eyes rolled: "This matter is not difficult, but you also have to do something for me." ”
Chun Yuyan hurriedly asked what was the matter, and Huo Xian said: "General Huo loves his youngest daughter Huo Chengjun the most and wants her to be a nobleman. ”
Chun Yuyan was puzzled when he heard this, so he asked, "So, what can I do?"
Huo Xian whispered next to Chun Yuyan's ear: "The biggest obstacle in front of Cheng Jun is Queen Xu, with Queen Xu here, it is difficult for Cheng Jun to have a bright future!"
The Empress Xu in Huo Xian's mouth is Xu Pingjun, the wife of Emperor Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty. Back then, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty became the youngest prisoner due to the scourge of witchcraft, and after being released from prison, he suffered a thousand hardships and sins among the people, but Xu Pingjun never abandoned him, and the relationship between the two was extremely deep.
After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty became the emperor, Huo Guang originally wanted him to make his daughter Huo Chengjun the queen, but Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty insisted on appointing Xu Pingjun as the queen on the grounds of "deep love for the sword". The touching story of "The Emperor's Deep Love" has been passed down through the ages, and at the same time, Xu Pingjun has become a thorn in Huo Xian's side.
After learning Huo Xian's true intentions, Chun Yuyan felt terrified, murdering the queen is a big crime, where do you have the courage to do such a thing?
Huo Xian smiled coldly: "You are still known for your excellent medical skills, now that Queen Xu is still pregnant, which of a woman giving birth to a child is not a life, isn't it a trivial matter for you to poison her to death while she is giving birth?"
Chun Yuyan waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no, the medicine needs to be tasted by the doctor first, and it's not easy to start." ”
Huo Xian was disdainful: "Then it depends on your ability." ”

As a doctor, he was supposed to treat the sick and save people, but he ended up poisoning people, and after Chun Yuyan returned home, he experienced a lot of ideological struggles.
She knew that Empress Xu was from the people, gentle and generous, unguarded against people, and it was easy to achieve her goal and get out of the way by using her medical expertise. But Huo Xian is insidious and treacherous, arrogant and unreasonable, and he is not someone he can afford to provoke.
If you want to save the lives of the whole family, you can only listen to Huo Xian's arrangement.
In the days that followed, Chun Yuyan began to carry aconite powder with him, looking for opportunities to poison him everywhere. It didn't take long for her to wait for this opportunity.
At that time, Xu Pingjun had just given birth to a child and was very weak and needed to take medicine to recuperate, so Chun Yuyan took the opportunity to mix aconite powder into the decoction and gave it to Xu Pingjun.
Xu Pingjun was out of breath after taking the medicine, extremely uncomfortable, she asked Chun Yuyan: "I'm dizzy, is it poisonous in the medicine?" Chun Yuyan shook his head again and again with a clear conscience: "How could it be?"
The power of aconite was powerful, Xu Pingjun's condition became more and more serious, and after a while, he closed his eyes in pain and was only 17 years old.
Emperor Xuan of Han was devastated when he learned of Xu Pingjun's death, and he ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, and Chun Yuyan was soon arrested.
Huo Xian was worried that Chun Yuyan would confess herself, so she hurriedly confessed to her husband Huo Guang for help. Huo Guang almost blew up his lungs after understanding the cause and effect, but the matter has come to this point, and he can only face the reality.
It is impossible to admit his mistakes to the emperor frankly, and with the emotional foundation of Emperor Xuan of Han and Empress Xu, his daughter-in-law and daughter will not only have to pay for their lives, but I am afraid that the entire family will suffer.
Huo Guang could only bite the bullet and persuade Emperor Xuan of Han with a clear conscience: "A woman giving birth to a child is like passing through a ghost gate, if you blame the doctor for the death of Empress Xu, it will be unkind to the emperor." Besides, who has the audacity to murder the queen?"
At the beginning, Xu Hou collapsed, arrested the doctors, impeached Yan Yan and died of illness, and was imprisoned. The clerk asks urgently, showing that he is afraid of failure, that is, he has the light of truth. The light was frightened, and he wanted to act spontaneously, but he couldn't bear it, and he still agreed. On the performance, because of the signature, do not talk about it. ——"Hanshu Huo Guangjin Riyan Biography"
Although Emperor Xuan of Han didn't believe a word about Huo Guang's words, considering that Huo Guang was powerful and could not afford to offend, he stopped the investigation and acquitted Chun Yuyan and the other doctors.
Next, Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun was named Queen Huo as she wished, and Huo Xian used her hands full of blood to clear the obstacles for her daughter's future career.
Huo Xian did not treat Chun Yuyan badly, she rewarded Chun Yuyan with a large amount of gold and silver treasures and a mansion with hundreds of slaves, so that Chun Yuyan's wealth reached its peak.

Huo Xian and Chun Yuyan are happy with the spring breeze, but Emperor Xuan of Han, who lost his beloved wife, is immersed in pain every day and cannot extricate himself. Of course, he also knew that he couldn't help Huo Guang for the time being, so he could only choose to keep a low profile and forbear, silently accumulating strength.
In 68 BC, Huo Guang, who had worked hard all his life, finally died, and Emperor Xuan of Han thanked Huo Guang for his great contribution to the Han Dynasty and allowed him to be buried in the emperor's specifications, giving him the ultimate mourning.
But for Huo Guang's high-flying and domineering family members, Emperor Xuan of Han didn't want to endure it for a minute. It didn't take long for Emperor Xuan of Han to quietly remove Huo Guang's two sons-in-law from their positions, and for Huo Xun, the son of Huo Guang, Emperor Xuan of Han also relieved him of his military power by ascending and surrendering secretly.
As soon as the Huo family saw the emperor's attitude, they realized that their good days were coming to an end, and immediately decided to launch a mutiny. Soon, Emperor Xuan of Han executed the entire Huo clan on charges of rebellion. Chun Yuyan, the female doctor who helped the abuse, also sank with the big ship of Huo Xian's family.
In ancient times, men accounted for the vast majority of famous doctors, and women had few opportunities to study medicine, let alone become famous doctors with excellent medical skills.
Chun Yuyan can be known as "Bian Que among Women", which is quite difficult.
If Xu Pingjun had not been killed, I believe that Chun Yuyan would have left a strong mark in the history of women's medical practice.
However, as a doctor, he only has medical skills and no medical ethics, and he is no different from a murderer.
Chun Yuyan became a doctor who deliberately killed people recorded in the history books of Chinese medicine, which is really hateful and regrettable.
