According to historical records, when Meng Chang fell to the country and was arrested by the Northern Song Dynasty, he died of grief on seven days. Because of Meng Chang's rapid death, but also let more people begin to pay attention to this not very famous king of the country, Meng Chang was so sad after the fall of the country, so which country was Meng Chang the king of?
Meng Chang is the king of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms in ancient China, and it can be said that he was born in a chaotic world. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were originally frequently in war, and conquests between countries abounded. Finally, in 934 AD, Meng Chang's father Meng Zhixiang was also proclaimed emperor in the chaotic world, because the capital of the country was close to the Shu state during the Han Dynasty, so it was called Hou Shu. Meng Chang was the third son of Meng Zhixiang, and it was originally impossible to ascend the throne, but because of Meng Chang's outstanding military achievements and great contributions to Later Shu, he was later made crown prince by Meng Zhixiang, and soon after Meng Zhixiang became seriously ill, and in the middle of the night because of the incurable illness, he eventually died. After Meng Zhixiang's death, Meng Chang successfully ascended the throne and became the new king of Later Shu.
As the king of Later Shu, Meng Chang was bent on making the Later Shu state safe and prosperous and strong in the early stages, so he never slackened in the affairs of the court, and was extremely diligent in the government of the dynasty, and Later Shu also glowed with a thriving atmosphere. However, the good times did not last long, and Meng Chang began to listen to the appeal of the adulterous people, and later got the situation that Lady Huarui was even more indulged in the wind and snow in the harem, and began to have no intention of government affairs. Finally, in 965 AD, the iron horse of the Northern Song Dynasty came to the territory of Later Shu, and Meng Chang became a prisoner of the Northern Song Dynasty and became the king of the fallen state of Later Shu.
Meng Chang was not a dimwitted in the end
In Chinese history, the general king of the fallen country will be known to posterity as the "Emperor of Darkness". Among them, Meng Chang was also the last emperor of The Later Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of China, it can be said that Meng Chang witnessed the rise and fall of The Later Shu, and the early Meng Chang was able to work hard to govern, able to reuse the various sages in the dynasty, and let The Later Shu once become a rich and powerful country in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but in the later period of Meng Chang's reign, Meng Chang became lax, and the fate of the final subjugation of the country could not be changed, so that the evaluation of Meng Chang by later generations has been mixed. So, is Meng Chang really a faint jun?
According to the relevant records of Chinese history, Meng Chang wanted to make a difference after he ascended the throne, and indeed gained a lot of results in the early stage of Meng Chang's rule, but later Meng Chang eventually led to the fate of his own country because of his indulgence. If we look at Meng Chang's life, we can't simply think that Meng Chang is an unforgivable emperor. In fact, Meng Chang this person and the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Yu has a very similarity, both of them are rare cultural emperors in Chinese history, let a cultural emperor to rule a country is ridiculous, the final fate of the country is inevitable, because it can not simply be thought that Meng Chang is a dark monarch.
It is more appropriate to say that Meng Chang is a dimwitted monarch than to say that Meng Chang is a cultural emperor who was born at an inopportune time. In the early days of his reign, Meng Chang also conscientiously handled the affairs of the country, but later indulged in pleasure, which eventually led to the tragedy of the fall of the country. However, Meng Chang's talent is extremely high, it can be said that Meng Chang was not good at politics, so in the end, Meng Chang is not a dimwitted monarch, he is just a cultural emperor who sacrificed for politics, but he cannot simply think that Meng Chang is a dimwitted monarch.
The question of how Meng Chang died has been a dispute since ancient times, and there are two main theories, one of which believes that Meng Chang died because of the subjugation of the country, and Meng Chang mourned for a long time and finally let himself die within seven days; Another theory is that Zhao Kuangyin of the Northern Song Dynasty poisoned meng chang because he was jealous of Meng Chang in his heart, just like the famous poet Emperor Li Yu in history, for this theory, there is another theory in the wild history that Zhao Kuangyin loved Lady Huarui's peerless appearance and killed Meng Chang.
