Fortune telling is a story of prosperity.

Because in Qianlong's view, he should live to be 10,000 years old, but the fortune teller said that Qianlong could only live to be 80 years old, so Qianlong was unhappy. How can his life be controlled by a useless fortune teller? In a fit of pique, Qianlong killed the fortune teller. To say that this fortune teller is really stupid, he can't flatter anything, but also flatter Qianlong. As a result, his flattery failed, but he lost his life.

The cause of the matter is this. It is said that a charlatan saw that his business was not improving all day and decided to switch to fortune telling. But how do fortune tellers get rich overnight? He thought of doing a divination for Ganlong. Later, the fortune teller somehow wrote a book about the National Games of the Qing Dynasty, intending to show it to Gan Long, so as to gain his favor and realize his wish of getting rich overnight.

Along the way, the fortune teller kidnapped an apprentice and went to see Gan Long with him. After many twists and turns, they finally met Gan Long, but they were afraid to present this book to Gan Long. Finally, the fortune teller tricked his apprentice into submitting a book. Ministers were shocked when they saw what was recorded in the book. Finally, the book finally reached the hands of Qianlong, who immediately flew into a rage after reading the contents of the book.

Finally, Ganlong killed the fortune teller and his apprentice on the charge of talking about national luck. It can be seen that even if you want to get rich overnight, you should choose the right method, and the emperor's flattery should not be used indiscriminately. Although in the eyes of ordinary people in ancient times, living to 80 years old is a very good thing, in the eyes of emperors, living to 80 years old is not enough.
