The reason why the fierce general Chang Yuchun died was he frightened to death by the flesh of a shrew?

Chang Yuchun’s name is a household name. He was the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty and a famous brave general.

Historical records show that he was majestic, resolute, and good at shooting with his long arms. He claimed to be able to roam the world with hundreds of thousands of people, and was known as "often hundreds of thousands" in the army. He made great contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang's victory in the world.

In the second year of Wu's reign, Chang Yuchun died suddenly in the army and was granted the posthumous title.

Only a few words were written about Chang Yuchun's death: "Shi Hui, who died suddenly by the Erliu River, was only forty years old."

Chang Yuchun was as strong as a tiger. Got some sudden serious illness? Countless people speculated, but never confirmed.

The guessed causes of death are as follows: 1. Sudden cold and disarming wind. Second, sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Third, he was slapped by a monk and lost his life by a young doctor named Zhang Wuji.

Here is another cause of death that is no less credible than "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".

's notes "Yitian Slaying the Dragon" and Xie's notes "Long Xing Ci Ji", both recorded an incredible story.

Zhu Yuanzhang pitied Chang Yuchun for not having a son, so he gave him two palace maids. But Chang Yuchun has a fierce wife and dare not approach these two maids. One morning, two palace ladies finally found the opportunity to help Chang Yuchun wash his face. When Chang Yuchun saw the white and tender hands of the palace maids, he couldn't help but admired: "What white hands!"

When Chang Yuchun came home the next morning, his wife asked someone to bring him a red hand. box. When he opened it, he was stunned. Inside the box were the bloody white hands he had praised so much this morning!

Chang Yuchun was so frightened that he was in a daze when he went to court. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang became suspicious: "Look, your expression is wrong. Do you want to resist me?" Chang Yuchun quickly told the truth. Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed after hearing this: "It's okay, I will reward you with two maids, you go first Just drink to relieve your worries!" As soon as Chang Yuchun left, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered people to go to Chang Yuchun's house, cut Mrs. Chang into eight pieces, and make meat sauce for the officials to eat, saying that it was called "shrew's meat". Chang Yuchun also eats it.

Chang Yuchun returned home but could not find his wife. Only then did he realize that the "shrew's flesh" turned out to be his wife. He was frightened and frightened, and developed the underlying cause of epilepsy.

This story is very famous among the people and has been mentioned repeatedly by later generations of scholars as a joke to punish "jealous wives", but its authenticity is almost zero.

In fact, Chang Yuchun had three sons: the eldest son Chang Mao, the second son Chang Sheng, and the third son Chang Sen. His first wife Shi Lan was the sister of General Lan Yu and could not be executed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
