Fortune telling in Qing dynasty

The fortune teller said that Gan Long could live to be 80 years old. Why was he executed?

There is another folk legend about the life span of Qianlong. It is said that during the Qianlong period, there was a god operator named Guan Tianbao who made a living by divining physiognomy. He wrote a book that predicted that Ganlong could live to be 80 years old. When Qianlong heard about this, he flew into a rage and immediately ordered the execution. What happened?

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 he 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 in fact he was flattering Qianlong. He was indeed one of the longest-lived emperors in China history.

In ancient times, wizards and doctors were usually separated. Zhi Tianbao has also read some books about stars and constellations, so he helps people to tell fortune and increase their income. It's just that he didn't learn well, coupled with poor management, the pharmacy closed down, so he had to be a traveling doctor and sell plasters. However, the business of traveling doctors is too weak to make a living at all. Zhi Tianbao had a whim and tried to seek wealth by offering books. Zhi Tianbao dug his brains and compiled a book for ten thousand years, falsely claiming that he was "ordered by heaven."

The book says that "the national luck of the Qing Dynasty is 800 years longer than that of the Zhou Dynasty", and the corresponding year number is also fabricated according to the gossip theory.

At the same time, it is predicted that Qianlong's rule will last for 57 years.

To Guan Tianbao's surprise, Gan Long almost vomited blood when Guan Tianbao said that he would die when he lived to 80 years old, and bluntly said that he must be killed to calm his anger.

A folk warlock dares to talk nonsense about national politics, even dare to say that Gan Long can only live to be 80 years old. This prediction is simply a reminder from Guan Tianbao. Guan Tianbao, who pretended to be rich and beautiful, was taken away and killed by officers and men that day, let alone the emperor. Even ordinary people don't want others to say how old they can live. To say that Gan Long can only live to be 80 years old is to curse Gan Long to die at the age of 80. Of course, Gan Long was too angry to kill him.

In ancient times, ordinary people didn't talk about the life span, let alone the emperor who had the sole power. It can be said that Zhi Tianbao wanted to commit suicide and kowtowed to the horseshoe. If Zhi Tianbao has a little IQ, he should write: Your Majesty has lived for 10,000 years, but only one day longer than me!

So you can't shoot a horse casually, or you don't know when it will lose its life.
