The fortune teller told Gan Long that if he abdicated immediately, he could live for three more years, and if he didn't abdicate, his life would end this year. Since he ascended the throne, Ganlong has been very fond of visiting the south, and so has it in his late reign. In the last year of Qianlong's reign, Qianlong visited Jiangnan again. Just as he led He Shen and others wandering in the street, he accidentally saw an empty fortune-telling stall in front of the stall. In the busy streets where people come and go, this stall is particularly deserted, which has aroused the interest of Qianlong.
Gan Long took people to this fortune-telling booth and asked the fortune-teller to calculate a divination for him. After Qianlong took his seat, the fortune teller asked his birthdates, and Qianlong told him truthfully. After hearing his answer, the fortune teller suddenly figured out that the man sitting in front was the current holy one. Ganlong saw that he really had some real skills, so he asked him to help him calculate how many years he still had to celebrate his birthday. The fortune-teller told Qianlong after a little hesitation: If you leave the abdication, you can live for another three years, otherwise I'm afraid you won't live this year.
because of the previous one? Throw a brick to attract jade? Ganlong is very concerned about the fortune teller's answer. After calculating this divination, Qianlong simply exchanged a few pleasantries with the fortune teller and left. After walking out of a distance, Qianlong was worried that the fortune teller would reveal the secret, so he ordered someone to go back and secretly kill him. But when the guards returned to the stall, the fortune teller had already disappeared. When Qianlong returned to the palace, he really passed on to Emperor Jiaqing immediately. However, although he abdicated, the military affairs in the DPRK still need to be decided through him.
After three years, Gan Long finally died in hall of mental cultivation at the age of 89. As the fortune teller calculated, it took exactly three years for Qianlong to abdicate and die. Emperor Jiaqing didn't really take power until after Qianlong's death, and the first thing he did after he took power was to punish He Shen. Although not out of intention, He Shen, who was highly valued by Qianlong, followed him shortly after his death.
