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 the king of the fallen country of Later Shu, so how did Meng Chang die?
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.
According to the records in the history books, After losing the Wanqing Mountains of Later Shu, Meng Chang was very sad and sad in his heart, and a year before the fall of Later Shu, Meng Chang also wrote the first couplet in Chinese history in the court to pray for the country's long-term peace and stability, but the Northern Song Dynasty still quickly defeated Hou Shu. After the fall of Later Shu, Meng Chang was sent to the Northern Song Dynasty and imprisoned, originally thinking that Meng Chang would choose to sell the country for his life like many people, but Meng Chang did not, and before a month, Meng Chang had already died in the court.
