The fortune teller said that Qianlong could live to be 80 years old. Why was he executed?
There is also a folk legend about Qianlong's lifespan. It is said that during the Qianlong period, there was a fortune teller named Guan Tianbao who made a living by divination and fortune telling. He wrote a book that could predict the fate of the Qing Dynasty. The book predicted that Qianlong could live to be 80 years old. Qianlong heard about this He was furious and immediately ordered him to be executed. What happened?
Let's first take a look at the average lifespan of ancient emperors, which was only thirty-nine years old. Of course, one reason for being so young is that many emperors died abnormally. In fact, even if it was a normal death, the lifespan of emperors in ancient times was not long. This fortune teller said that Qianlong could live to be eighty years old, but he was actually flattering Qianlong, and Qianlong was indeed one of the longest-living emperors in Chinese history.
In ancient times, witchcraft and medicine were usually independent of each other. Zhi Tianbao has also read some books on horoscopes and horoscopes, so he helps people tell fortunes and read fortunes to increase his income. It was just that he was not good at learning, and due to poor management, the drug store closed down, so he had to become a wandering doctor and sell plasters. However, Dr. You's business was so weak that he could no longer make a living, so Zhi Tianbao suddenly had a whim and tried to seek wealth by dedicating books. Zhi Tianbao worked hard and compiled a ten-thousand-year book, falsely claiming that he was "ordered by heaven".
The book claims that the Qing Dynasty's "national destiny lasted eight hundred years longer than the Zhou Dynasty", and also made up corresponding year names based on the Eight Diagrams.
At the same time, it was also predicted that Qianlong's rule could last until the "fifty-seventh year of Qianlong".
What Guan Tianbao didn’t expect was that when Qianlong saw Guan Tianbao saying that he would die when he lived to be 80 years old, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood and said that he must kill him to calm his anger. .
A folk magician dared to make arrogant comments about national affairs, and even dared to say that Qianlong could only live to be 80 years old. This prophecy was simply a reminder from Guan Tianbao, who was living his dream of glory and wealth. He was captured by officers and soldiers and killed on the same day. Not to mention the emperor, even the common people did not want others to tell how long they could live. To say that Qianlong could only live to be 80 years old was to curse Qianlong that he would die at the age of 80. Of course Qianlong was angry. To kill him.
In ancient times, ordinary people would not discuss life expectancy among themselves, let alone the emperor who held great power. It can be said that Zhi Tianbao was seeking death on his own, and flattering the horse's hoof, if Zhi Tianbao If Tian Bao has a little IQ, he should write like this: His Majesty the Emperor has a lifespan of ten thousand years, but he only lives one day longer than I, Tian Bao, Zhi Tian Bao!
So horses cannot be photographed casually, otherwise, I don’t know When did he lose his life?
