Yuan Tiangang, a Tang Dynasty metaphysician, Taoist, astronomer, and one of the authors of "Pushing Back The Map", has many stories about him, and today I will only tell one.

One year, Emperor Taizong of Tang issued a decree summoning Yuan Tiangang to Beijing to discuss important matters, passing through Lizhou. Samurai Yan, who was the governor of Lizhou at the time, was the founding hero of the country. He heard that the strange man Yuan Tiangang was passing by this place, so he quickly invited him to his home as a guest.

The two were talking happily, and when Wu Shiyan heard that Yuan Tiangang was good at looking, he asked him to show his wife. Yuan Tiangang glanced at it and said: Madame herself has a rich and noble life, and the son she gives birth to will also become an official.

The samurai was naturally overjoyed, so he called his two sons to see him, wondering what official positions his sons could achieve. Yuan Tiangang looked at it carefully and said, "The two princes can do the assassination history, but it seems that their fate is bumpy, especially after middle age." ”

Samurai was unhappy, but he couldn't have a seizure on the spot. After eating, he quickly sent Yuan Tiangang out.

Just about to go out, I saw my mother at home returning from playing outside with a child in her arms. Yuan Tiangang glanced at it, saw that this boy was different, couldn't help but be surprised, hurriedly ran over to look at it carefully, and said: "This child has a beautiful appearance, and his eyes reveal the king's qi, strange and strange, even I can't see through it." Quick, put it down and let him take two steps! ”

The boy took a few steps and stopped. Yuan Tiangang was stunned and said to the samurai, "Your child's forehead bone protrusions are like the japanese characters in the sky shining on the earth, the eyes are like dragons, and the neck is like a phoenix, this is the face that FuXi has!" "Say turn around and go."

Samurai Was also taken aback and hurriedly pulled him aside and asked him what would happen to his child in the future. Yuan Tiangang was afraid of revealing the heavenly opportunity, so he only said four words: "Dragon and Phoenix among people", and left in a big stride without turning his head.

But he had only taken a few steps, and he couldn't help but say, "Unfortunately, it's a boy." If it is a girl, she will become a son of heaven in the future! ”

Seeing this, you must have guessed who this child is. Yes, it was the only female emperor in history, Wu Zetian, but at that time she was wearing boy's clothes and was mistaken by Yuan Tiangang.
