In ancient times, due to poor living conditions, the development of social productivity, and the limitations of people's cognitive level of everything in the world, ancient people were particularly superstitious about the theory of ghosts and gods and fortune-telling techniques.
Although it is said that "poor fortune telling and rich burn incense", in addition to ordinary people, even the emperors in high positions believe in Feng Shui and fortune telling, and even established official positions like Imperial Heaven Supervision to specifically calculate national fortunes and solar terms for the emperor.
For example, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang , he once asked a Taoist priest on the street to calculate his lifespan for him. As a result, the Taoist priest replied: "Life one more day than me" .
After hearing the Taoist priest's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered people to pull the Taoist priest down and behead him.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this Taoist priest was deliberately cheating, but he was not guilty to death. Why was Zhu Yuanzhang so angry that he wanted to kill the Taoist priest immediately?
Taoist priest 1: "Son of the Chosen of God"
In fact, this is not the first time Zhu Yuanzhang asked a Taoist priest to tell his fortune. Before Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he also served as a monk for 58 years. During an alms beg for alms, he accidentally met a Taoist priest with fairy spirit.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was at the trough of his life. He was confused about his future and didn't know where to go. So he used his own money to ask the Taoist priest to calculate a fortune for him and see what his future is. At least he felt comforted.
Taoist priest first looked at the monk in front of him carefully. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was dressed simply and looked down on the outside, the Taoist priest noticed that he was extraordinary. Then he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to write a word casually, and he used it to see the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang wrote "silk" (bó) characters. Unexpectedly, after writing this character, the Taoist priest looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face a few times and gave him a great gift to show respect.
According to the explanation given by the Taoist priest, the "现" is a upper and lower structure . The upper and lower characters can be divided into two separate characters, one above is "white" , and the lower characters are "现" ;
and the "现" of the "现" , and the upper characters are "现" , and the lower characters are "现" .
plus Zhu Yuanzhang's face, so the Taoist priests believe that Zhu Yuanzhang's future is limitless. If he is destined by the emperor, he will definitely become the most noble person in the world.
Later, this short story between Zhu Yuanzhang and Taoist priests was also widely circulated, but it may also be a fake story deliberately compiled by the ruler in order to stabilize his imperial power .
The main purpose is to make the people believe that Zhu Yuanzhang was the son of the day chosen by . Becoming the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was destined by God and there is no doubt.
Taoist priest 2: "Life one more day than me"
But, look back at this murdered Taoist priest. They are all Taoist priests, why did Zhu Yuanzhang become a murderer in the Taoist priests?
is mainly because of the answer of this Taoist priest, is not conducive to , Zhu Yuanzhang, while the previous Taoist priest's words were is beneficial to . As a dignified emperor, how could Zhu Yuanzhang have the final say in his life and death?
And the Taoist priest is also clever. He doesn’t want to make mistakes and can’t make up random things. What should he do? So it had a sudden inspiration and pretended to be like a god, and it was sure to win, and said, " lives one more day more than me ."
For the Taoist priest, he knew that this answer was a bit offensive, but it would not seem outrageous, and he would not expect that this answer would be so serious that he would lose his life.
Taoist mold is still there. He didn't cheat him, but he met Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
" live one more day than me" What does mean? It is equivalent to telling Zhu Yuanzhang that if he died , if he was a Taoist priest, then Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to live long, and he could only live until the next day .
So his answer was so angry that Zhu Yuanzhang was in contact with him. A Taoist priest actually dared to use Zhu Yuanzhang's life and death as a threat and binding. Isn't this seeking death, what is it?
lies are self-defeating
Just after Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to pull the Taoist priests down, he said in front of everyone on the street: "If I didn't die the next day, it means that this person is a complete liar."
For Zhu Yuanzhang, who is now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he went from a grassroots emperor to conquer the country, founded the Ming Dynasty, and ascended the throne.
How could he believe the nonsense of such sorcerers in the world? Zhu Yuanzhang is the son of God's choice. The Taoist priest's words are not conducive to his stability in the throne. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang will not accept this fate, nor do he believe in fate. My fate is my fault, and I am not the god.
But if what the Taoist priest said this was beneficial to him, Zhu Yuanzhang, maybe the Taoist priest would not die yet.
In order to prove that the Taoist priest was lies, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to test the truth himself. So in the next few days after the Taoist priest died, he frequently appeared on the street, just to prove to others that when the Taoist priests were dead, Zhu Yuanzhang was still safe and sound. Not only did he not live one more day, but he could live many more years.
At this time, when people saw Zhu Yuanzhang who was still healthy and intact, they finally believed that the Taoist priest a few days ago was really a big liar who was full of nonsense. The fortune telling lie of Taoist priests was the only one who could defeat without any attacks.
