Selected passages of the emperor's fortune telling

Qianlong is one of the few lucky emperors in world history. I have never suffered any great disaster or serious illness in my life, and I succeeded to the throne in the prime of my life, inheriting the solid foundation laid by Kangxi and Yongzheng generations. Therefore, Gan Long believed in fate, and there were many fortune-telling rumors about him. In fact, most of the ancients believed in fate very much. Even now, there are many people who believe in fate.

/kloc-in the twelfth lunar month of July, 795, when the Chinese New Year approached, Gan Long went out of the palace incognito accompanied by his minion Xiao Shenyang. Soon, I saw a fortune teller in the street, and he shouted from time to time: Calculate life and death, calculate wealth, push the past and know the future?

Gan Long, who is 85 years old, suddenly has a childlike innocence and wants Doby, an old fortune teller. Sitting in front of another booth, he asked directly: calculate how long you can live first, and then calculate my life. ? The old man's eyes narrowed slightly and said unhurriedly. There are rules to follow and laws to follow. Fortune tellers never count themselves. If the Lord wants to ask for divination, he can report his birthday. ?

Seeing this, Xiao Shenyang first reported his birthday and tried to explore the depth for his son. The veteran did a little calculation and immediately wrote it down? A lifetime of wealth, a lifetime of sorrow? Eight characters send each other.

Looking at the brooding Shenyang, Gan Long also announced his date of birth. However, the old man counted and counted, sweating on his head and showing panic on his face. Gan Long said quietly? How about my numerology? ?

Lao Dao took a deep breath and wrote again:? Sixty years ago, I promised to live and die on the day of redemption. ? Say that finish, the old road quickly called Gan Long? Infinite Buddha? A bow:? Lord, the path is uncomfortable, so don't cross it. ? Then, pick up the banner and leave in a hurry. Gan Long and Xiao Shenyang didn't stop them and let them leave. Suddenly, Qianlong patted his forehead and exclaimed: So that's what happened! ?

Small Shenyang looks puzzled:? Your Majesty, what's the matter? Do you want to catch up with the old road? ? Gan Long said gravely:? Go back to the palace! ? Along the way, Gan Long told Xiao Shenyang that he once said that the reign time would not exceed that of his grandfather Kangxi, that is to say, the reign time could not exceed 60 years, and now it is just the time limit of 60 years.

In fact, after Qianlong became emperor, he never expected to surpass his grandfather's reign. He just spoke casually for a while. This matter, only a few people in the palace know, outsiders can't know. Therefore, Qianlong was very nervous and arranged for Xiao Shenyang to return to the palace to deal with the aftermath.

The following month (the first month of the first year of Jiaqing), just after the New Year, Qianlong held a ceremony to return to power, calling himself Emperor Aisingiorro and the 15th Prince? Qing (Yong) Yan and Jin Feng issued a letter to the world, which was called Emperor Jiaqing in history.

Later, it was rumored that in the winter of the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong (1773), Qianlong wrote the names of the emperor's fifteen sons in a wooden box and hid them in? Aboveboard? After the plaque, he officially confirmed his prince's worth. But before him, three brothers (Huang's eldest son, Huang's second son, and Huang's seventh son Yong Cong) were all killed by the long-lived Qianlong, but when his father said that his term of office would not exceed 60 years, there was no sign of succession. So, after some planning, armadillos and trusted ministers around them staged an ancient fortune-telling play. Think of yourself as? Old man Shiquan? This dry dragon has been calculated by his son once. On the surface, however, Qianlong passed the throne to Jiaqing, but all major events in the DPRK still needed his consent. According to the memoirs of foreign envoys, the little emperor took the joy of the old emperor as his own. If Qianlong is happy, Jiaqing will be happy, and everything will be subject to Qianlong's will. It was not until three years later, when 89-year-old Gan Long died, that Emperor Jiaqing finally gained real power. Perhaps the contradiction between Xiao Shenyang and Jiaqing was formed at this stage.
