In the history of our country, there are many emperors who are born in the grassroots, not from the nobility. But when they were very young, they were seen to have the appearance of the Son of Heaven, and every founding emperor had a magical legend. Their birth is a legend, either the reincarnation of the true dragon, the son of heaven, or the vision in the sky, the auspicious atmosphere, etc., all of which are to set off the extraordinary of these emperors, thinking that the emperor is different from ordinary people, and they are born with the fate of the son of heaven.
All walks of life will have outstanding masters, and in ancient times, there were such masters, that is, the master of xiangshu. People who specialize in giving people fortune telling to eat, but in this regard, there have been many cattle people in history. If nothing else, let's say that Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty, the most famous is that he predicted that Wu Zetian would become emperor in the future, making his reputation greatly enhanced and widely circulated, and his writings pushed back the map, which has been admired by people until now.
Throughout history, every dynasty at the end of its history has caused social chaos and misery because of the incompetence of the rulers or the tyranny they have imposed. The same was true in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the people lived in the depths of the water, years of war, and natural disasters, so that the fields were deserted, the people had no food, there was no need to eat, everywhere there were refugees fleeing hunger, many people were starved to death, and there was a large-scale plague.
It is said that this year, a senior monk came to Fengyang County with his disciples, saw the disaster here, and stayed behind to help these refugees. This monk is good at medicine and physiognomy, is a worldly master, he traveled in all directions, that is, to relieve the world's life, with his own strength, as far as possible to help some people in need, here he began to treat the disaster victims free of charge.
On this day, the monk took his apprentice up the mountain to collect medicine, and saw two ragged cowherds on the mountain, where to herd cattle. When the monk saw this, he was shocked and said to his disciple: These two cattle herders will be one of you in the future, and one will be the founding general. So he deliberately took the two of them away, so he went to consult with them. In the end, only one was willing to go with him, this person was Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other one who did not want to go was Tang He.
Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk with this senior monk, and even if he had a mouthful of food to eat, he would not be starved to death. Tang He finally went to the barracks and joined the revolution. Tang He mixed well under Guo Zixing and achieved the position of a thousand households, at this time he thought of his little Zhu Yuanzhang, and wanted him to join the rebel army together, so he wrote a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang received the letter, he decided to go and defect, and the senior monk knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was the order of the Son of Heaven, so he did not stop him.
After Zhu Yuanzhang joined the rebel army, starting from a small soldier, Zhu Yuanzhang was brave and good at fighting, brave and strategic, and soon became the leader of the rebel army. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youyu, eliminated Zhang Shicheng, and finally eliminated the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, declared himself emperor, established the Ming Dynasty, Tang He was his most compatriot, and also his guide, with his southern conquest of the northern war made great achievements, became the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, Tang He was also one of the few founding generals of the Ming Dynasty to die well.
I think that the two cattle herders that the high monk saw in those years became the emperor, and the last one became the founding general, and the prophecy of the high monk was finally fulfilled.
