How did Yuan Tiangang and Lee die?

Yuan Tiangang and Li were both famous Feng Shui masters in the Tang Dynasty, and Yuan Tiangang finally died: there is such a record about his death. When Shen Guogong Gao Shilian asked him what else he could do as an official, Yuan Tiangang told him that he would die in April this year, and when April really came, he died directly; As for Li, he should have devoted himself for 40 years and died at work.

It has been more than 1000 years since the Tang Dynasty. Many stories about Yuan Tiangang and Li are basically fabricated by later generations, so they are very wonderful, but most of them are fabricated, and only a few of them are true and too mythical.

Yuan Tiangang, a master of physiognomy, recorded this in the Official History of Yuan Tiangang. He comes from a bad family, but he is proficient in physiognomy and likes to study the art of immortality. I was an official in the Sui Dynasty, and then I lived in seclusion when the world was in chaos. It was not until the establishment of the Tang Dynasty that it reappeared in the public eye. Because he gave face to Du Yan, Wang Jue, Wei Ting and others, what he said was quickly verified one by one, which led him to be spread by many powerful people. Many people want him to show his face, and even those he has seen basically listen to him.

It is said that when Wu Zetian was young, Yuan Tiangang came to her house. After seeing her mother, he bluntly said that a glance at her wife's bones must have given birth to your son. However, when Wu Shihuo, Wu Zetian's father, called his sons out to tell Yuan Tiangang's fortune, he thought they were the best. But when I saw Wu Zetian, I thought it was the youngest son of Wu Zetian's family. Frankly speaking, he had a phoenix neck when he was in Tianzhu, and he must be a big shot in the future. Frankly speaking, "it's a pity that it's not a daughter. If it is, it will definitely be the master of the world in the future. " Wu Shihuo didn't take what he said seriously at that time, only knowing that his children would be expensive in the future.

It is said that after Emperor Taizong heard about Yuan Tiangang, he was also called into the palace to discuss, leaving a tuibei diagram that can predict the next few thousand years with Li. Because Yuan Tiangang was not interested in being an official, he soon continued to live the life of a wild crane in the clouds. Later, Gao Shilian asked him what he was doing as an official. He told Gao Shilian that he was going to die in April that year.

When Li, a master of metaphysics, cooperated with Yuan Tiangang to interpret the back picture, Li was much younger than Yuan Tiangang, but his ability was not below that of Yuan Tiangang. He is a genius, smart and studious since childhood, and has extraordinary talents in astronomy, calendar and mathematics. He basically reached the point of self-study, and was later recommended to Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, and became a bookkeeper to join the army.

After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, Li, who was only 25 years old at this time, was directly named as a general and worked in Taishi Museum for 40 years. During this period, astronomy, geography, calendar and compilation of historical books in the Tang Dynasty were basically from his hands. I worked hard for 40 years and died directly in my job.
