Gan Long disguised himself as a fortune teller.

Let's look at the average life expectancy of ancient emperors, only 39 years old. Of course, one reason for being so young is that many emperors died abnormally. In fact, even if the emperor died normally, the life span of the ancient emperor was not long. The fortune teller said that Qianlong could live to be 80 years old, but he was actually flattering Qianlong. He was indeed one of the longest-lived emperors in China history.

Then why did the master say that Gan Long could live to be 80, and Gan Long would kill him anyway? You know, only five emperors can live to be 80 years old. Since ancient times, it has been said that 70 years old is rare, let alone 80 years old. Isn't Emperor Qianlong satisfied? Or what other reasons? I think there are several reasons:

First, Emperor Qianlong was really dissatisfied. Emperor Qianlong must think that 80 years old is not enough. Besides, Gan Long himself has lived to the age of 89. I think you can live for a hundred years. At least, this is the so-called insatiable human heart, especially as an emperor.

Second, appease the subjects and avoid national chaos. 68 years old, healthy and disease-free, but master Guan told the emperor that it was only ten years. Can the emperor not be angry? He was also put to death to fight against his subjects, to let courtiers know that Tianwei is unfathomable, and not to speculate on the sacred will. In addition, it is also to appease people's hearts, fearing that courtiers will panic when they know it, thinking that reform as soon as possible will shake the foundation of the country.

Third, the emperor, the son of heaven, the real dragon! The emperor's life, that's destiny, that's a cat! As the saying goes, cats never show their faces. A mere mortal can peek at the cat's eye!

What would the child's face look like if the cat could be snooped at will? Today you can pry into secrets, and tomorrow ministers from all walks of life can try to find out what they want. Is there no chaos in the world? I can't help asking you to die to protect your royal majesty.

According to the above example, we can know that Gan Long is a taboo person, sometimes he is willful, and the consequences of offending him are very serious. It doesn't matter whether the fortune teller predicted that Gan Long's life span was 80 years old, but Gan Long felt that his life span was not allowed to be told by some people at will, which was an offence, so it was not surprising that the fortune teller was killed.
