Gan Long fortune-telling Yangzhou

The fortune teller told Gan Long that if he didn't pass on the throne to his son, he would die within three years. If you don't do this, you won't live for three years. Gan Long was shocked and angry and ordered to kill him.

Qianlong should be regarded as the longer-lived emperor in history. Under his rule, the Qing Dynasty was very prosperous, with few wars and people living and working in peace and contentment. At this time, Gan Long especially liked traveling incognito and often walked among the people. He once took his minister to Jiangnan to hide his name. Walking on the streets of Suzhou, he found that the people were very happy and he was also very happy. In this street, he suddenly saw a fortune teller. Curious, he went over and sat in front of the fortune teller's booth.

But he didn't speak. The fortune teller said that I already know your identity, and I know what you are thinking. Gan Long was very surprised to hear this sentence. The fortune teller said many things, all of which were right. It is impossible for ordinary people to know his life story. The fortune teller also told him that you should pass on the throne to your son within three years, or you will not live for three years. Hearing this, Qianlong left with a smile. But on second thought, he felt that this gentleman was not an ordinary person. It would be a big deal if he let out the secret. So I ordered my people to get rid of the fortune teller.

But when his men went back to the fortune teller, they found that the man was gone, leaving only a note with a sentence, I only saved my life for you. Gan Long was very shocked. He began to think about the fortune teller and what he said. It suddenly occurred to him that this gentleman saved his life many years ago, and this is the second time to save himself. So he followed this gentleman's advice and passed on the throne to his son. He died three years later.
