The solar eclipse predicted by Li, the first master of the Tang Dynasty, was exactly the same.

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin got a secret prophecy, that is, a prophecy book, and made such a speculation about the future of the Tang Dynasty: after three generations of the Tang Dynasty, there was a female king of Wu! It is said that after three generations of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor became weak, and a woman named Wu replaced the Li family and became the new emperor.

Shortly after the birth of Wu Zetian, Yuan Tiangang, a fortuneteller in the Tang Dynasty, came to the grave of his father, the military commander φ. Wu Zetian, who was still in infancy at that time, was wearing boys' clothes. Yuan Tiangang was shocked: dzi beads have a phoenix neck, which is extremely expensive. If it is a girl, be the master of the world! After that, Master Yuan, regardless of gender, left six stories about samurai.

This winter, Taishi put Li in charge of the astronomical phenomena, and was correcting the new calendar of the Tang Dynasty to calculate that there would be a solar eclipse on the first day of the first month. Of course, modern people have a scientific explanation for solar eclipse: when the moon turns between the sun and the earth, and the earth, the moon and the sun are in a straight line, the sun is blocked by the moon, and an solar eclipse occurs for the earth. In ancient times, the appearance of solar eclipse was a great event, because the ancients could not understand why the sun in the sky suddenly disappeared. Li immediately reported his calculations to the emperor. Of course, the solar eclipse on the first day of the new year is considered a bad omen. Emperor Taizong was very unhappy and asked Li: Will the celestial phenomena you predicted really appear? What if there is no solar eclipse on the first day of the first month?

Li said to him, in that case, I would like to be put to death.

The first day of the first month arrived, and the emperor waited for the solar eclipse in the yard in the morning, but the sky showed no signs of change. The emperor was impatient and said to Li, I will let you go home now and say goodbye to your wife and children.

Not busy. Li Wei smiled. It's too early. Don't worry, your majesty. He made a sign on the wall and told the emperor that when the sun shines on the sign, there will be a solar eclipse. As we guessed, a solar eclipse really happened later, and it is not far away. The emperor was frightened, and he was even happier to have such a master around him. Before this, such a thing happened:

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin got a secret prophecy, that is, a prophecy book, and made such a speculation about the future of the Tang Dynasty: after three generations of the Tang Dynasty, there was a female king of Wu! It is said that after three generations of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor became weak, and a woman named Wu replaced the Li family and became the new emperor. At the beginning of the world, not many. Will Jiangshan really be quickly buried in the hands of a woman named Wu? Deeply disturbed, Shimin shouted: Find this damn woman for me! Roars echoed in the palace. A page advised the emperor to be quiet and suggested that Li be sent to the palace to find out.

Where's Li? The emperor rolled his eyes wearily.

Yes, the servant said, isn't he the first prophet of the Tang Dynasty? Listen to his opinion, maybe there will be a good harvest.

Shimin nodded and said yes.

On a stormy night, the emperor secretly summoned our hero Mr. Tai Shiling and the prophet Li. Li sat in a dark room, facing the once invincible. Shimin showed the prophecy to Li. After reading it, Li replied: The omen predicted in the book has already happened. This woman named Wu lives in the palace now! Forty years later, she will become the ruler of the empire, and many descendants of the Li family will be killed by her.

Shimin said, then I'll go to her now and kill her! How's it going?

Li said to him, No, a woman surnamed Wu is an emperor. This is fate and cannot be changed. The fate of this woman is endless. Acting rashly is both hurtful and innocent. Moreover, this woman is the emperor, when forty years later. By then, she will be old and kind. The change of surname in the middle of the Tang Dynasty was only temporary, and this woman could not completely sever the Tang Dynasty. But if we find this girl now, catch her and kill her, then others will usurp Li Tang. According to my calculation, the newcomer will be more powerful and fierce than that woman named Wu, and then your descendants will probably have no inheritance. Therefore, by comparison, it is more beneficial to keep the life of that woman surnamed Wu than to kill her now.

Shimin bowed his head and said nothing.

Emperor Taizong's generation had a "secret record". After three generations of Yuntang Dynasty, that is, the female ruler Wu Wang owned the world. Emperor Taizong secretly summoned Li to inquire about this matter and told him that according to this mysterious image, this omen has come true. However, he was born in your majesty's palace, not more than forty years from now. When there is a world, the descendants of Down's will be destroyed. The emperor said: How to kill? The wind said: providence cannot be abolished. The king will not die, though it is desirable. Moreover, it has grown up and is already your majesty's family. Forty years later, when you are old, you will be kind and may not do much harm to your descendants. Kill it today, and you will be resurrected. Forty years later, you will be able to conquer the world. Young and vicious, killing it is blood revenge, that is, your descendants are all the same. ("in and out")

Shimin finally adopted Li's suggestion. So, Wu Zetian, who was shivering in the corner of the harem, survived. In fact, the fear of the emperor Shimin does not stop there.
