Yuan Tiangang figured out who wouldn't live past thirty and changed his mind the next day.

Emperors of past dynasties were surrounded by so-called military strategists (also called counselors). In addition to understanding the general trend of the world, these people often study astrology very well. For example, there were two men under Emperor Taizong, one named Yuan Tiangang and the other named Li, both of whom were famous at that time, especially Yuan Tiangang. As a Feng Shui master, all kinds of magical predictions were almost accurate before his death, in the official history and the book of the New Tang Dynasty.

But such a man of God sometimes has the wrong idea. When he was telling fortune among the people in his early years, he met something. At first, he told people that he would not live beyond thirty, but he changed his mind the day after he went to bed, saying that this man would be a very important person and live a long life.

Li Qiao, a native of Zhaozhou, was very talented since he was a child. He was proficient in the Five Classics at the age of fifteen, and was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of twenty, but his mother was not happy at all. Li Qiao was originally five brothers, but the first four died before they were thirty. Li Qiao's mother is so worried about Li Qiao that she can't eat or sleep every day. Later, she heard that a fortune teller was very effective, so she spent a lot of money to invite him to visit Li Qiao.

As soon as Yuan Tiangang saw Li Qiao, he said to Li Qiao's present situation: "Although your son is handsome and looks healthy, he is doomed to live not long. In my opinion, he can live to be 30 years old at most. " When Li Qiao's mother heard this, she cried on the spot and begged Yuan Tiangang to do something. Yuan Tiangang wanted to refuse directly, but she couldn't bear to see her mother so sad, so she decided to stay with Li Qiao.

After dinner, Yuan Tiangang and Li Qiao are in the same room. Yuan Tiangang woke up in the middle of the night, but he felt very strange. Because the room was unusually quiet, suddenly he found that Li Qiao was not breathing at all, and Yuan Tiangang was well informed. He carefully observed Li Qiao and found that Li Qiao breathed with his ears, just like the legendary turtle sucking. After dawn, Yuan Tiangang found Li Jiao's mother and said, "Your son will not live short." And then everything came true.

Li Qiao has always insisted on not taking bribes and has always been an honest official. Moreover, during the period of Tang Gaozong, Li Qiao was indeed a very important official, a prime minister who was below one person and above ten thousand people. Later, in the period of Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian learned that Li Qiao was the prime minister, but the home was still a coarse silk curtain. Wu Zetian felt that it was detrimental to the country and rewarded him with a thin silk curtain, but Li Qiao was used to it and could not sleep at all. Later, Wu Zetian followed.
