Why did Gan Long return to Beijing immediately after the fortune teller calculated Jiaqing's life?

Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong believed in fate very much, and there are many fortune-telling rumors about him in history. But the ancient emperors believed in fate very much and always went to fortune tellers. Even today, many people believe in fortune tellers. So there were not a few believers at that time. At that time, it was said that after the fortune teller told Jiaqing's fortune, Gan Long immediately returned to Beijing.

/kloc-in the twelfth month of July, 795, accompanied by his favorite, Xiao Shenyang, Qianlong went out of the palace incognito. Stopping in the street and seeing a fortune teller walking on the old road, Gan Long asked, "How is my numerology?" Lao Dao wrote with a brush: "I made a promise 60 years ago, and life and death are on the redemption day." After that, the old man quickly picked up the banner and left in a hurry. At that time, Gan Long and Xiao Shenyang didn't stop them and let them leave.

After returning to China, Gan Long told Xiao Shenyang that he once said that his reign would not exceed that of his grandfather Kangxi, that is to say, his reign should not exceed 60 years, and now it is exactly 60 years, so he passed it on to Jiaqing's throne. In fact, after Qianlong became emperor, he never expected to surpass his grandfather's reign. He just spoke casually for a while. This matter, only a few people in the palace know, outsiders can't know. Therefore, Qianlong was very nervous and arranged for Xiao Shenyang to return to the palace to deal with the aftermath.

In fact, on the surface, Qianlong passed the throne to Jiaqing, but all major events in the DPRK still need his consent. According to the memoirs of foreign envoys, the little emperor took the joy of the old emperor as his own. If Qianlong is happy, Jiaqing will be happy, and everything will be subject to Qianlong's will.

Ganlong returned to Beijing as soon as his life was over. There is a legend that the fortune teller was installed by Kangxi. He said that if I was in office for 6 1 year, you would have died a hundred years earlier. Don't covet power and think of me. Reluctantly, Ganlong was still afraid of becoming a sinner in the Qing Dynasty, and quickly passed the throne to Jiaqing.

Therefore, there has been a saying among the people that Gan Long immediately returned to Beijing to pass on the throne to Jiaqing after the fortune teller calculated his life.
