Yuan Shikai's fortune telling episode 2

Yuan Shikai's fortune telling episode 2

In ancient China, people paid attention to "harmony between man and nature", and they were responsive to people, famous for doing things and talking, so that people would support them. Therefore, especially the emperor attached great importance to this point. In order to show his fate, he often fabricates many auspicious signs. For example, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang said that when he was born, his mother dreamed that there was a dragon by the river. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was poor, but he said that when he was born, the room was full of red light, as if it were dawn.

Except for them, every other founding emperor has such a fabricated auspicious feeling, which is nothing more than telling the people that I was arranged by heaven and the emperor's seat should be mine. Not only that, even the emperor wanted auspicious signs when he ascended the throne. For example, when Wang Mang usurped the throne, the world found good omen such as Ganoderma lucidum, so he ascended the throne. And the following one heard that the ancestral grave glowed red at night and grew a dragon-shaped wisteria tree, and immediately proclaimed himself the emperor and founded the country.

This happened at the end of 19 15. A man comes from Yuan Shikai's hometown. This man is guarding the tomb of the old Yuan family, and this man came to Beijing specially. Tell Yuan Shikai that the ancestral grave of Lao Yuan's family is red at night and the sky is bright. Moreover, there is a wisteria tree growing on the ancestral grave. This wisteria tree looks like a dragon, with a nose and eyes, which is very touching. From the mouth of a discerning person, it is sheer nonsense. Isn't it a fable that the grave glows red? However, Yuan Shikai believed it. Why?

He thought he was destined to be emperor. Because at this time, under the arrangement of Yuan Shikai's son Yuan, this is not only the will of the people, but also to save the people in from the mire. But also organized a * * * group to go to Beijing. * * * group including intellectuals, businessmen, and even prostitutes and beggars, all demanded that Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself. Moreover, the largest newspaper at that time, Shuntian Times, preached the benefits of being proclaimed emperor to the country all day, benefiting the country and the people.

Therefore, Yuan Shikai was very moved. This ancestral grave has such a great sense of auspiciousness that he must be destined to return. Besides, there was a magician who told Yuan's fortune. Lao Yuan Jiazu didn't live to be 60 years old. However, if you call yourself the emperor, you can change your destiny, which is also for the safety and inheritance of your family. So it seems that Yuan Shikai "insisted on being emperor" because there is providence in the world, people in the world and the whole family in the world.

So when members of Congress voted to change the state system to * * * and put him on the throne, he said: I have to sit on this throne for the sake of the country and the people. However, the results show that smoking on ancestral graves is useless. Why? Yuan Shikai died less than 8 1 day after he proclaimed himself emperor. Instead of saving the country, it was torn apart. And his own life is sad, and he died before he was close to 60. Therefore, this ancestral grave is red and has wisteria trees. That's nonsense.
