Yang Di's second son, Yang Chang, was imprisoned by Yang Di because he was too arrogant, and Dong Chun was also implicated because of his association with Yang Chang. Emperor Yang Di condemned him in court: "Your rank has been upgraded from a palace guard to a high official. Why are you attached to my son? Do you want to alienate my father and son? " Dong Chun said: "I am a minister, with no talent, and I have received too many rewards and promotions. The first emperor was careful, and he loved me, love my dog, and your majesty re-hired me as a general. I want to do my best to repay my country. As for the previous visits to the King of Qi, it was only because the first emperor held Prince Yuan De (Yang Zhao) and the King of Qi in his lap and said to the minister,' You should take good care of these two children and don't forget my words.' After I served the imperial edict, I went in and out of King Mi of Qi, and I went to visit the King of Qi after class every time. I really dare not forget what my late emperor said. At that time, your majesty was also serving the late emperor. Emperor Yang said with emotion: "This is true. "So I let him go. A few days later, it was released to Wenshan Prefecture.

A year later, the Turks invaded the border. Because Dong Chun was a veteran, the court was transferred to Yulin Prefecture. Those Turks who entered the customs were repelled by Dong Chun. Thieves, Zong and others gathered tens of thousands of people in Pengcheng, occupied the Hanging Book Mountain and looted in Xu and Yan. Yang-ti ordered Dong Chun to lead an army to conquer. Dong Chun closed his camp at first and did not engage with enemy soldiers. Enemy soldiers repeatedly challenged officers and men not to come out, thinking that Dong Chun was afraid of the enemy, so he was unprepared and plundered all over the country. Dong Chun selected elite troops to attack, surrounded the enemy in Chang, won a great victory, beheaded more than 10,000 heads, and built a watch in Beijing to warn thieves. Wei Qi, a thief soldier, rallied more than ten thousand people and robbed his single father. Dong Chun attacked and defeated them. Wait until Yang-ti conquers Liaodong again, and let Dong Chun stay in Cheng Peng. Peng, a thief from the East China Sea, gathered thousands of people, plundered Huairen County, turned to Yishui and occupied Wubu Mountain. Dong Chun attacked with a good soldier, captured Peng alive in the battle, and was punished by splitting the car. The rest of the parties dispersed separately. At that time, the people were in poverty and thieves became increasingly rampant. Although Dong Chun won many times, thieves still rose everywhere. Some people accuse him of cowardice and fear of war, but he can't beat thieves. Yang-ti was furious and sent messengers to escort Dong Chunsuo back to Luoyang, the eastern capital. Seeing the emperor Yang-ti was very angry. Officials catered to the emperor and sentenced Dong Chun to death. Dong Chun was actually killed by the law.
