Fortune-telling in Ming Dynasty _ Fortune-telling in Ming Dynasty

Emperor Chongzhen disguised himself as a fortune teller. What did the fortune teller say that made him pale?

This happened in March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644). At that time, Li Zicheng was surrounded by soldiers, and the situation in the Ming Dynasty became increasingly critical. Depressed, Chongzhen went out of the palace with a personal eunuch, Wang Chengen, and planned to observe the situation in Beijing on the spot. ?

Coincidentally, Li Zicheng's strategist Song Xiance also sneaked into Beijing on this day to understand the actual situation in Beijing. This Song Xiance is proficient in six hexagrams, eight diagrams, Zhouyi and Daoism. At the beginning of the Li Zicheng uprising, he made? Eighteen sons, the main artifact? What do you mean? Will Li be emperor in the future? Let Li Zicheng's team develop rapidly. ?

Because of this, Li Zicheng highly valued Song Xiance, so before attacking the capital this time, Li Zicheng specially sent him to the city for information. After entering Beijing, Song Xiance disguised himself as a fortune teller and set up a divination pavilion at the foot of the wall in Beijing. On the divination booth, a piece of cloth fluttered in the wind, which read: Ghost Valley is a teacher and friend? Eight big characters. ?

As the saying goes, when Chongzhen traveling incognito in Beijing, he happened to come to the Liuyi stall in Song Xiance. Chongzhen, of course, didn't know that this man was Li Zicheng's strategist Song Xiance, but Song's suggestions had long guessed that this man was extraordinary. ?

Because, when Song Xiance saw Wang Chengen, the eunuch next to Chongzhen, he not only spoke without sissy, but also had a glossy face, so he was regarded as a eunuch with status. At this time, Wang Chengen showed servile and exaggerated respect for the man in front of him, which gave Song Xiance reason to conclude that the man was at least a member of the royal family, otherwise where would there be such a demeanor? ?

So, when Song Xiance saw Chongzhen coming, he took the initiative to shout:? Does the guest officer want to measure words? Take care of the lark, if not, there is no charge! ? At this time, Chongzhen was worried about state affairs. Now when I saw this fortune teller, I went straight to ask. ?

What did Chongzhen say at first? Friends? Word, Song Xian Ji, asked what Chongzhen wanted to test, and Chongzhen replied:? Now the world is in chaos, I want to ask how the state affairs are going. ?

Song Xiance a listen to, in the heart suddenly a surprised, he is now more and more think this person must have a lot to do with chongzhen, at least to speak in front of the emperor chongzhen, so he decided? Better be aggressive? .

So Song Xiance pretended to meditate for a while, then shook his head and said? This? Friends? Word, cover the half is? Anti? The word "anti-thief" means that the anti-thief will come out and the country is in danger! ? Chongzhen heart suddenly surprised, hurriedly changed to say what you want to test? what's up , not? Friends? .

Song Xiance eyebrows a wrinkly, said, the situation is even worse, because of this? what's up Without saying anything, take it? Daming? Half of these two words means that there are only half of the country left in the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen tried to be calm, but what did he really want to test? Hey? Words, isn't it? what's up Words. At this time, Song Xiance repeatedly shake head to sigh, say this? Hey? Words are missing their heads and feet? Respect? Now that the statue of the Ninth Five-Year Plan has lost its head and feet, I'm afraid Daming is really going to die.

After hearing this, Chongzhen turned pale and left in a hurry without giving money. Looking at the back of Chongzhen's mess, Song Xiance satisfiedly smiled. There is no doubt that this? Heart attack? Satisfactory results have been achieved.

Sure enough, after Chongzhen returned to the palace, he suddenly felt that Daming's demise was doomed by heaven, so he forced the queen and his concubine to hang themselves, then killed his daughter, gave his son to his subordinates to protect him from leaving the palace, and finally came to Jingshan to hang themselves. As a result, Li Zicheng easily breached Beijing.

This is also famous in history? Chongzhen measures figures? This story. Although, although this story has been spread by people with their eyes and noses, the problem is that it is not from official history, but something fabricated by unofficial history. And logically it can't stand scrutiny.

Because, Enemy at the Gates, Li Zicheng, when the capital is in chaos, how can Chongzhen have the mind of going out of the palace incognito? Even if you leave the palace, you will take the guards to the city gate to bid, and you will never travel incognito? Ten thousand steps back, even if Chongzhen went out of the palace incognito, how could he happen to meet Song Xiance, the strategist of Li Zicheng, and specially asked him to measure words? And just Song Xiance guessed the identity of Chongzhen?

At the end of Enemy at the Gates, Li Zicheng, the Ming dynasty's luck was exhausted, and this fool could see that at that time, the ministers of the imperial court had already started to change dynasties in various ways, and even the maids-in-waiting eunuchs had already started to flee everywhere. Why did Chongzhen go to a fortune teller to measure the country's fortune? Because this is an obvious fact.

What's more, Chongzhen reigned for seventeen years. Have you heard that he measured the national fortune through ghosts and gods? None! Although Chongzhen is the king of national subjugation, he is not a fool, let alone a bad king. He still has some basic intelligence. What's the use of fortune-telling results at that time?
