It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang did not know the meaning of his life at that time. Every day, he only knows how to beg for food from others with a broken bowl in that fixed place, or beg for food and water from door to door. He has long lost his dignity and confidence. But it happened that Zhu Yuanzhang once met a fortune teller, who was also a famous fortune teller. He looks at fortune-tellers, calculates horoscopes and tells fortune, and he has never made any mistakes. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang is going to let the fortune teller calculate his net worth.
The fortune teller asked Zhu Yuanzhang to write a word, but Zhu Yuanzhang lived in poverty since childhood, where he had the opportunity to study. So Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time and wrote a word "silk" on the table where the fortune teller set up his stall. The fortune teller first looked at the words, deliberated and deliberated, and then carefully looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face. The fortune teller immediately changed his face, knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and shouted "Long live". The fortune teller's action can be said to have frightened Zhu Yuanzhang, because in ancient times, kneeling and shouting "Long live" to people other than the emperor would be beheaded.
Later, the fortune teller explained that the word "silk" was not simple. The combination of "Emperor" and "Emperor" respectively means that Zhu Yuanzhang will become the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future. He later looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face and further confirmed that Zhu Yuanzhang would have an emperor's life in the future.
We all know what happened later, that is, with the help of his father-in-law Guo Zixing and his childhood playmates, Zhu Yuanzhang began to form his own power, and then continued to conquer everywhere, fighting in the south and fighting in the north, laying the foundation for the Ming Dynasty that stood for more than 200 years. Zhu Yuanzhang later remembered the fortune teller who gave himself confidence and wanted to go to the place where he met, but the fortune teller had already left without any trace.
