Fortune-telling by Master _ Folk Fortune-telling

Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was an ambitious emperor. He made great efforts to revitalize Daming, but he was physically and mentally exhausted in the face of internal troubles and foreign invasion. One day, he ordered some fortune tellers to check his handwriting because he wanted to know what his Daming would look like in the future. Emperor Chongzhen wrote "You", "You" and "You" successively, and invited three fortune tellers to tell their own fortune, also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. The results measured by the three fortune tellers are the same, that is, Daming will die.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to the corruption of official administration, the emptiness of the national treasury, and years of natural disasters, people everywhere were miserable and hungry. At that time, there were many peasant rebels in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the Qing army outside the customs was eyeing the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains. Emperor Chongzhen, who was overwhelmed by state affairs every day, found three fortune tellers and wanted to know the future fate of the Ming Dynasty.

So he wrote a "you" first, and the first fortune teller said that the word "you" was missing one, and the Ming Dynasty was missing half, indicating that the Ming Dynasty would be defeated by Emperor Chongzhen. Not satisfied, Chongzhen wrote another "friend" to test the second person. The second fortune-teller said that "friend" is an antonym, indicating that the world's anti-thieves have their own days, and the Ming Dynasty will die. Emperor Chongzhen was still unwilling and wrote a "unitary". The third fortune-teller measured it and said that the unitary character is disrespectful to the head and tail, indicating that the respect of the son of heaven will cease to exist and Daming will die. Emperor Chongzhen was deeply anxious after reading the results of word testing, and he was also deeply powerless in the face of this riddled country.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the three fortune tellers tested the words. The Ming Dynasty perished, Li Zicheng went to Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide. In fact, we don't have to pay attention to the authenticity of the divination in Chongzhen, but the demise of the Ming Dynasty is a long-term result, so Emperor Chongzhen is not alone in reversing the overall situation.
