He is the originator of physiognomy, a push back map, and a prophecy for thousands of years.
not only verified the prophecy of the ministers of the dynasty one by one, but was also invited by Li Shimin to be a staff member, and even when Wu Zetian was a baby, he predicted that she could become the lord of the world, he was a generation of demons, Yuan Tiangang.
Yuan Tiangang's birth year is unknown, and his family background is also very confusing.
There are records that he was born in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, a native of Jiangjin, his uncle was Yuan Shoucheng who appeared in Journey to the West, and his father was Yuan Shouyi, who followed Wang Shichong.
There are also records that Yuan Tiangang is the son of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, the elder brother of Emperor Yang of Sui, and his mother is the younger sister of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, but was framed by Yang Jian's queen Dugu Jialuo with jealousy, and finally the young Yuan Tiangang was rescued by Sun Simiao, and finally raised by the Yuan family and named Yuan Tiangang.
The only thing that can be determined is that Yuan Tiangang's father died when he was young, and his family was poor and fond of Taoism, and he was good at physiognomy. In the great cause of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he was appointed as a senior official.
At the beginning of Tang Gaozu Wude, Yuan Tiangang was promoted to Huojing Ling, and was the official of the dynasty, Du Yan, Wang Gui, Wei Ting, and Dou Liang met each other.
Yuan Tiangang said to Du Yan: "The left side of your nose is already full, and the front of your ear door is wide, you will definitely be in the imperial history, and you will be appreciated because of your literary talent." ”
Said to Wang Jue: "Your face is already well-proportioned, and the upper court is adjacent to the lower court, and ten years from now, you will definitely get a five-grade important position." ”
said to Wei Ting: "You look like a tiger, you make friends very sincerely, you will definitely get the support of your friends, and you will become a military attache when you start as an official." ”
And said to the three: "Twenty years later, I am afraid that all three will be deposed at the same time, but only for a short time, and they will return soon." ”
After that, the experience of these three people was really as predicted by Yuan Tiangang, but in the 6th year of Wude, all three of them were assigned to Junzhou, and when they passed through Yizhou, the three of them really met Yuan Tiangang again.
hurriedly asked him: "What Yuan Gong said in Luoyang has been realized now, I don't know what will happen in the future?" ”
Yuan Tiangang replied: "Although you have been demoted to official positions, but your bones are better than the past, and you will definitely enjoy glory and wealth in the end." ”
Sure enough, in the ninth year of Wude, the three of them were recruited into Beijing, and they visited Yuan Tiangang for the first time, and Yuan Tiangang said to Du Yan: "You will immediately get the important position of Sanpin, but the longevity is not something I can know." Wang and Wei Ergong will get important positions in the third grade in the future, and they will all live a long life, but their careers in their later years are not satisfactory, especially Wei Gong. ”
After Du Yan arrived in the capital, he was appointed as the imperial historian and the secretary of the school department. Wang Jue was soon appointed as a servant and served as the assassin of the same state.
Wei Ting successively served as the imperial historian and Taichangqing, and in the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, he was demoted to the Xiangzhou Thorn History because of the unfavorable supervision of grain and grass and the delay in the military, which was the same as Yuan Tiangang expected.
And another court official, Dou Liang, once asked Yuan Tiangang to see his face when he traveled to Deyang County.
Yuan Tiangang said: "Your forehead bones are bulging and your chin is long, and you will definitely establish great achievements in Liangzhou and Yizhou." ”
Sure enough, in the early years of Wude, Dou Liang was appointed as a servant of Yizhou, and he summoned Yuan Tiangang and treated him with special courtesy.
Yuan Tiangang said to Dou Liang again: "Your bone method has been accomplished, and it is no different from the previous prophecy. But the red veins in the eyes are bulging, crossing the pupils, and the red qi appears on the face when he speaks. If you become a general, I am afraid that you will kill a lot of people, and I hope you will always be vigilant about yourself. ”
In the ninth year of Wude, Dou Liang was really removed and recalled for indiscriminate killing, and when he was about to leave, he came to Yuan Tiangang again and said, "What other official position can I get?" ”
Yuan Tiangang said: "The family members on your face have not moved, the right half of your chin is shiny, and there is joy, you will definitely receive the emperor's favor when you go to the capital, and you will return to serve here." This year, Dou Liang was indeed reappointed as the governor of Yizhou.
Under the propaganda of these ministers, Yuan Tiangang almost became a living immortal in the mouths of princes and nobles.
But some people think that these four ministers are all big families, and naturally some people will worry about their future, so Yuan Tiangang's prediction has moisture.
But his prophecy to Wu Zetian was that there was no water at all.
Yuan Tiangang came to the Wu family and said to the martial mother: "But looking at the bones of the lady, she must have given birth to a noble son." ”
Yuan Tiangang successively looked at the two sons of the martial family. said: "These two people are both people who protect the family, and they can be ranked in the third rank." ”
When he saw the eldest daughter of the martial family, he said, "This daughter will also be very expensive, but it will not be good for her husband." ”
The nurse was holding Wu Zetian at the time and lied that she was a man.
Yuan Tiangang believed it, carefully observed Wu Zetian's face, and said in surprise: "This Lang Jun has dragon eyes and phoenix neck, and he is the ultimate nobleman. ”
Then he turned to the side to look at her, and exclaimed: "If it is a girl, it is really unpredictable, and she will definitely be the lord of the world in the future." ”
These two sentences are shocking, after all, before Wu Zetian, there has never been an empress, and Yuan Tiangang directly predicted that Wu Zetian would become the lord of the world.
In the 8th year of Zhenguan, Yuan Tiangang's name even alarmed Li Shimin, and then it was used by Li Shimin.
In the court, he successively looked at Cen Wenwen, Zhang Xingcheng, Ma Zhou, etc., and every time he could rehearse the future experiences of these three people in advance.
And when Shen Guogong Gao Shilian once asked him: "What else can you do?" Yuan Tiangang replied: "I know my fate, and my life will be exhausted in April this year." Sure enough, in April, Yuan Tiangang died.
When it comes to Yuan Tiangang, he naturally can't get around Li Chunfeng and push back pictures.
It is said that at that time, Li Shimin asked the two to calculate the luck of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chun wrote a book of push back pictures with gusto, predicting the national events in the millennium, and Li Shimin was surprised.
Just when Li Chunfeng was about to continue his prediction, Yuan Tiangang gently pushed Li Chunfeng's back and reminded him not to leak the heavenly secrets, hence the name of the push back map.
It is said that the push back picture belongs to the more you look at the more mysterious strange books, and its weirdness even exceeds the Book of Changes, but some people think that the push back picture is just a hindsight Zhuge Liang forcibly attached to it, and it is not so godly.
As for the true and false fantasy, it is intriguing, do you think Yuan Tiangang is a living immortal or an old god?
