Song Taizu asked him how long he would live, and the Taoist priest said it would be sunny 12 years. Did it come true?

The Taoist priest said that if the weather was clear and cloudless on1October 20th, Zhao Kuangyin could live for another 12 years. If the weather is cloudy that night, it is likely that he will directly prepare for the funeral. Later, it really came true, because it was really cloudy that night. Zhao Kuangyin died suddenly while drinking with his younger brother Zhao Guangyi that night.

Zhao Kuangyin was born in a yellow robe through the "Chen Qiao mutiny" in history. Sixteen years after the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was just fifty years old. At this time, he wondered how long he could live and how many years he could be emperor. So he took his entourage to the people to find someone to calculate. When he passed Emei Mountain, he met a Taoist priest and asked him to help him calculate. On120, the Taoist told him clearly how long his life would last.

On the night of October 20th, that year, the weather was gloomy, which reminded Zhao Kuangyin of what the Taoist priest said, which made him very worried and in a bad mood. So he found his younger brother, Zhao Guangyi, to have a drink and drown his sorrows. Unexpectedly, he suddenly died while drinking. Although Zhao Kuangyin's death has always been a mystery in history, whether he was killed by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi or died suddenly is unknown, but it confirms the Taoist story.

Of course, we can't say that Zhao Kuangyin's fortune-telling must be true. It is very likely that Zhao Kuangyin just died on this day, so some malicious people deliberately fabricated such a thing. Perhaps it was a story made up by Zhao Guangyi to show the legitimacy of his accession to the throne.
