The fortune teller claimed that Gan Long could live to be 80 years old. Why did Gan Long put him to death immediately after hearing this?

The fortune teller claimed that Ganlong could live to be 80 years old, but the reason why Ganlong immediately executed him was actually very simple. In ancient times, emperors who didn't want to live to be 100 years old could only live to be 80 years old, which was of course a taboo for emperors. Many courtiers in the past dynasties called long live the emperor, which can also explain why Qianlong was so angry.

Life and death are taboo, not to mention predicting when the emperor will die, which is definitely a capital crime. Emperor Qianlong is the longest-lived emperor in the history of China, so many people will make a fuss about his longevity. So there was a Taoist named Guan Tianbao, who used to sell medicine, went bankrupt because of poor management, and lived a poor life from then on. Because I used to live a life of big fish and big meat before, I didn't want to live like this, so I pretended to be a Taoist and began to cheat on eating and drinking. Until one day, he knew that Gan Long liked to go out to play, and he had the idea of Gan Long, but this time he paid the price with his own life.

Because he touched the taboo of the emperor's life and death, which emperor doesn't want to live a long life, his calculation is equivalent to the fate of Qianlong. There is also the bizarre death of Qianlong's father Yongzheng, which is also related to the fortune-telling of these Taoist priests. It is said that Yongzheng believed in Taoism very much when he was young, so he often asked them to refine elixir to make himself immortal. Yongzheng's father died young because he believed these fortune-telling lies. Therefore, Qianlong hated these people, and this time he used his age to tell his fortune. Naturally, Qianlong doesn't just want to live to be 80 years old.

Life and death are important events for everyone, and they are unpredictable. In ancient times, it was a great sin to discuss the life and death of the emperor at will.
