Gan Long met a fortune teller.

Gan Long met a fortune teller in his later years. What does the fortune teller mean when he says that Gan Long will abdicate immediately?

The fortune teller told Gan Long that if he abdicated immediately, he could live for another three years, and if he didn't, his life would end this year. Since he ascended the throne, Gan Long has always enjoyed visiting the south, and so did he in the later period of his reign. In the last years of Qianlong, Qianlong visited Jiangnan again. Just as he was leading Xiao Shenyang and others wandering in the street, he accidentally saw an empty fortune-telling booth in front of the booth. In the busy streets where people come and go, this stall is particularly deserted, which aroused the interest of Qianlong.

Gan Long took people to the fortune teller's booth and asked the fortune teller to calculate a divination for him. After Ganlong was seated, the fortune teller asked his birthday, and Ganlong told him the truth. After listening to his answer, the fortune teller suddenly realized that the person sitting in front is the present saint. Seeing that he really has some real skills, Gan Long asked him to help him figure out how many years left before his birthday. After a little hesitation, the fortune teller told Ganlong: If you abdicate, you can live for another three years, otherwise I'm afraid you won't survive this year.

Because there is a front? Throw a brick to attract jade? Gan Long is very concerned about the fortune teller's answer. After calculating this divination, Qianlong simply exchanged a few pleasantries with the fortune teller and left. After walking out of a distance, Ganlong was worried that the fortune teller would reveal the secret, so he ordered someone to go back and secretly kill him. But when the guard returned to the booth, the fortune teller had disappeared. When Qianlong returned to the palace, it was really immediately passed on to Emperor Jiaqing. However, although he abdicated, North Korea's military affairs still need to be decided through him.

In this way, three years later, Gan Long finally died in Yangxintang at the age of 89. The fortune teller calculated that it took exactly three years for Qianlong to abdicate and die. Emperor Jiaqing didn't really take power until after Qianlong's death. The first thing he did after he took power was to punish Xiao Shenyang. Although not out of intention, Xiao Shenyang, who was highly valued by Qianlong, followed him shortly after his death.
