"To know the future, when the view is gone, the wise will rule, and the unsolicited will be lost." This is not easy way to do it. ”
——Li Chunfeng
Li Chunfeng, born in Qizhou Yong, was a Tang Dynasty astronomer, mathematician, and Yi scholar, proficient in astronomy, almanac, yin and yang, and Taoist theory, according to records, he was exceptionally intelligent from an early age, well-read, good at literature, and particularly proficient in astronomy, almanac and divination.
As I grew older, I not only read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, but also had to be guided by people. At the age of 25, Li Chunfeng wrote a letter and put forward 18 opinions on the "Pengyin Yuan Calendar" written by the Taoist priest Fu Renjun, and Emperor Taizong adopted 7 opinions and awarded Li Chunfeng to serve in the Taishi Bureau.
After entering the Taishi Bureau, Li Chunfeng studied astronomy, calendar, arithmetic, and astronomical instruments, and gained a lot of success. Soon after, he appealed to Li Shimin and proposed to reform the armillary celestial sphere, and Li Shimin readily agreed.
In addition, it was the first person in the world to grade the wind. His famous book "Self-Occupation" is the earliest monograph in the world, and he and Yuan Tiangang are also rumored to be the authors of "Pushing Back Map". Although the book is very controversial, Li Chunfeng also made accurate predictions about the Wuzhou Dynasty and Tang Dynasty.
According to the Old Book of Tang, during Li Shimin's time, there was a prophecy circulating in the government and the public that "after Tang III, then the female lord Wu Wang dynasty will have the world", just when Li Shimin wanted to kill suspicious elements in the palace without forgiveness.
Li Chunfeng said: "The destiny of heaven belongs, the king does not die, you don't kill more innocents" Even if you kill one True Destiny Heavenly Son, God will send another one, and if you kill too many people, your descendants will also be slaughtered by the True Destiny Heavenly Son.
It is precisely because of this sentence that Li Chunfeng dispelled Li Shimin's idea of killing innocents indiscriminately and saved the lives of countless people in the palace. In addition, an interesting thing happened in the early years of Zhenguan.
When Shimin was just emperor, he was strong and strong, ate Ma Ma Xiang, hunted every day, and lived a very comfortable life, but one morning, Li Chunfeng saw him and wept silently, and did not say a word.
Li Shimin felt very strange, in broad daylight, why Mr. Suan Gua would shed tears on himself, this situation must be a bad sign.
So Li Shimin asked Li Chunfeng, why are you crying, Li Chunfeng said: "You are going to die tonight, I am very sad," as the emperor is most afraid of others saying that he is dead, but Li Shimin is very calm, and said: "Born with a life, there is nothing worth worrying about." That night he did not let Li Chunfeng go home and let him stay on duty.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Li Shimin fell into a deep sleep, but he saw a person saying to him: "Your Majesty, you will come for a while, and you can go back after you have done your business." ”
Li Shiming asked who you are, and this person said that I am a living person, but I am working for hades, and you can come with me.
It turned out that it was Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji who filed a complaint in the prefectural government, because the two of them also had the atmosphere of a king, and the people of the prefectural government could not afford to provoke, so they had to call Li Shimin down to confront him, and they could go back after explaining the matter clearly.
So Li Shiming told why he was forced to launch the Xuanwumen Rebellion, and how Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji framed him for all kinds of bad deeds.
After learning that the incident had passed, Li Shimin was released, and the person who brought him back was the person who took him down, and Li Chunfeng kept standing by, not letting people cry, and telling everyone that he would definitely wake up after dawn.
Unexpectedly, the next day Li Shimin returned, and the person who took him to the underground mansion was also knighted. I have to say that Li Chunfeng is really powerful.
According to the Tang Dynasty archives "Jiaku Jia Calendar", Li Chunfeng died "suddenly", and Emperor Gaozong of Tang issued the "Retrospective Edict" and posthumously honored Li Chunfeng as the "Taishi Ling".
