The three men went to Yuan Tiangang, a fortune-teller in Yuan Tiangang, and said that they were expected to be great officials. Why do they sigh after they leave?

Because Yuan Tiangang's words are only half-spoken, although these three people are expected to be big officials, their official careers are not good and their future is very slim, so they will sigh. These three people are Du Yan, Wang Jue and Wei Ting. Yuan Tiangang knew that their careers were not smooth sailing, and he was planning to be demoted in the future. Sure enough, although these three people will make great achievements in officialdom in the future, their official careers are quite bumpy.

Yuan Tiangang was a very famous metaphysicist and Taoist in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. He is proficient in facial expressions and five elements, and his calculations are very good and accurate. It is said that the tomb of the famous ancient female emperor Wu Zetian was calculated by Yuan Tiangang according to geomantic omen. Later, many emperors' tombs were found and stolen, but the tomb of Wu Zetian was not found, which shows the power of Yuan Tiangang. There must be a lot of people who want to invite such a capable person to divination, but Yuan Tiangang is not greedy for money or power, so it's no good to meet him with money. It depends on your luck.

Yuan Tiangang saw the faces of Du Yan, Wang Xuan and Wei Ting, and thought that they would all become senior officials in the future, but their careers would not be smooth sailing. That's true. Later, because of what Wen Yang did, all three men were exiled to Wazhou. After Wei Ting was demoted, after the Xuanwumen incident, because he had a good relationship with Li, he hired Wei Ting as the chief doctor of the official department.

After Du Yan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he was requisitioned by Emperor Taizong. However, he was involved in the Wen Yang incident, so he was exiled to Wazhou. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Jue became Li's confidant and was later exiled to Wazhou because of the incident. To sum up, at that time, Yuan Tiangang was really accurate. Although these three people are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, their official careers are really bad.
