Qianlong was a famous figure in history, and during the period of his reign, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and were happy and happy. However, in this bright lord, something happened that surprised many people. Because this matter really should not be placed on a Ming Jun. So what happened to Qianlong in the end?
It turned out that in a certain year, Qianlong Microfu visited and pretended to be an ordinary person and invited a fortune teller to tell his fortune, but what was unexpected was that after the calculation, Qianlong not only did not reward the fortune teller, but after walking another 500 meters, he ordered his men to go down and kill this gentleman.
So, what's going on here?
Divination was contemporary at the time
As we all know, in the feudal dynasty at that time, divination had a very lofty position in the hearts of the majority of the masses. Ancient divination, rituals, and so on are still being circulated today. But in modern times, most people have begun to think that divination is a feudal superstition, believing that it was the need for the rule of ancient rulers.
However, in ancient times, basically all the people still believed in the theory of "fate", after all, there were "heaven and man induction" and "heaven and man unity", especially the royal family attached more importance to these.
Because as the holders of the highest power, they all want their supreme position to be unshakable, so they will desperately want to know how long they can live, how long their position and power can have.
Therefore, in ancient times, there were often people who did the fortune teller industry, because the demand of this industry was high, which could meet the ancient people's desire to control the future.
These fortune tellers often use the "eight characters" to calculate people's fate, to determine people's good fortunes and misfortunes, and to see people's academics, careers, and fortunes. The "eight characters" refer to the date of a person's birth, as well as the place of birth.
Speaking of fortune telling, we have to think of the qianlong emperor in history who disguised himself as an ordinary person to tell fortunes, but in the end he ordered his men to kill him after he walked 500 meters.
Qianlong's life of great achievements
The Qianlong Emperor, named Ai Xin Jueluo Hongli, was the son of the Yongzheng Emperor and Empress Xiaoshengxian, ranking fourth. Hongli was raised in the palace of the Kangxi Emperor since childhood and was deeply favored by Kangxi.
In the first year of Yongzheng, Mijian made him crown prince, Yongzheng made him the Prince of Shuobao in the eleventh year, and Yongzheng took the throne in the thirteenth year, with the year name Qianlong. Qianlong ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five and reigned for sixty years. He was an outstanding politician, strategist, and a well-known ruler in history.
After Qianlong took the throne, he devoted himself to agricultural development, paid great attention to the lives of the people, improved the commercial development environment, and further developed the country's economy at that time.
In addition, the Qianlong Emperor also liked literature, and he loved to write articles and poems all his life, writing more than 42,000 poems, almost as many poems as the Quan Tang Poems, and he also had people compile the "Four Libraries of Quanshu", which left a valuable cultural heritage for future generations and made great contributions to national culture.
But what we admire most is his great efforts for the sovereignty of the country. At that time, the frontier was chaotic, and it was Qianlong who vigorously governed the frontier and quelled the rebellion, which made the frontier very stable. And many uprisings to maintain the stability of the national border and expand the national territory. It also gradually improved its rule over the Tibetan region and realized the unification of a multi-ethnic state.
In addition, Qianlong also has high requirements for his own life. In his spare time, he likes to sing poetry and prefer micro-service private visits.
During qianlong's sixty years of reign, he made six southward inspections. "For fifty years, when you are in the imperial court, you will do two major things, one is the Western Division, and the other is the Southern Tour." This is what he once said in his "Imperial Southern Tour".
Among them, the south is jiangnan, and the purpose of the Qianlong southern tour is to reduce taxes, inspect water conservancy, inspect government affairs, and also want to understand the lives of the people. During this period, Qianlong also encountered many interesting things. The following is one of them.
Qianlong met a fortune teller by chance
Once, Qianlong paid a private visit to Suzhou Micro Service, looking at his prosperous Jiangshan, his heart was beautiful. The people on the street were bustling, and by chance Qianlong saw an old gentleman.
This old gentleman was dressed in a Daoist robe, with a long beard, holding a cloth flag in his hand, on which was written fortune telling, sitting behind a desk, quite a temperament of a fairy wind Dao bone, this appearance aroused Qianlong's great interest.
So go forward and try to calculate a fortune, the average fortune teller will ask the other party whether to calculate the future, or fortune or marriage or other problems.
But this gentleman was different, Qianlong had not yet stood still, he heard the old gentleman holding his beard and laughing: "Noble people come from afar, I know the intention of nobles, and I know the identity of nobles, you don't need to say much." ”
When Qianlong heard this, he smiled, only to find that this man was making a mistake, and asked him: "In this way, you can tell him what identity I am and what the purpose of coming here is, and if you can say it, I will be rewarded heavily." ”
Qianlong sat quietly in front of him, and after some observation, the fortune teller told Qianlong's experience one by one and said: "The high life is not long gone, and the torrent bravely retreats for three years."
This means that if Qianlong continues to be emperor, then he will only live to be eighty-six years old; if he had passed the throne to his son early, he would have lived for three more years and lived to be eighty-nine years old.
When Qianlong heard this, he only felt that it was nonsense, but just after walking about five hundred meters, he suddenly felt that if this matter was heard by the chaotic courtiers and thieves, then someone would take the opportunity to cause chaos in the world, and this situation was something he never wanted to see. So he decided to kill people to avoid trouble.
So Qianlong turned to his attendant and ordered, "Kill him!" However, as soon as the words fell, the fortune teller fled without a trace, and the dispatchers were not found, and when he went to his stall, he only saw a note left on the table, which read: I have only counted for the emperor alone.
Qianlong suddenly realized after reading it, it turned out that this fortune teller and the person who told his fortune when he was a child were the same, and when he was a child, he had already had a spiritual experience, saying that he had the appearance of an emperor. Then this time's words must also be true, at that time Qianlong felt that this person was an alien immortal, and he had come specifically to mention him.
So when Qianlong was eighty-five years old, he ordered the throne to be passed to his son, and sure enough, three years later, when Qianlong was eighty-nine years old, he died. Answered what the fortune teller had figured out.
Qianlong was actually a very capable emperor, and it was possible that he would not abdicate and would not die after three years.
This matter may be a coincidence, the fortune teller is a charlatan, but the ancient people attached more importance to the "fortune telling", so Qianlong adhered to the concept of "preferring to believe in its existence, not to believe in its nothing" to pass on to his son to ensure that he lived for three more years.
