Was there a fortune teller better than Liu Bowen in the Ming Dynasty?

Speaking of fortune tellers in the Ming Dynasty, that is, fortune tellers, it must be easy for everyone to think of Liu Bowen. However, Liu Bowen's strength was added to the play by later generations. In many plays and novels, Liu Bowen was deified, and even wrote "Pancake Song". In fact, it disappeared completely. But in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there really was a great god fortune teller who was more awesome than Liu Bowen and could calculate anything.

When Zhu Yuanzhang joined the army, one day he and people around him were shopping in the street. When they saw a fortune teller, they went over and asked him to do the math. Fortune-tellers are very powerful. They only read everyone's palm and tell everyone that you can be a general, a prime minister, a marquis and so on in the future. But Zhu Yuanzhang reached out halfway and didn't see him give a comment. Zhu Yuanzhang became angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the fortune teller, why don't you calculate it for me? The fortune teller took a look, but his face showed reluctance and said, "Your fate is too important. I can only tell you alone. " As soon as everyone saw it, they immediately understood and left. The fortune teller didn't say it directly, but wrote a sentence: You are the son of heaven among the rich. Zhu Yuanzhang was happy at first sight, which means he can be emperor in the future.

Many years later, Zhu Yuanzhang really won the world. He remembered the fortune teller who told his fortune in those years, so he sent someone to find him and called him and asked him, "I will reward you if you tell my fortune so accurately." What do you want? " The fortune teller said, "The grass people want nothing but to travel around the world." So Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a fan and wrote a poem on it: "An old man in the south of the Yangtze River is full of stars. If I were king, I should be immortal. Don't give it to the official, give it to gold. " With this fan, he traveled all over the world.

In this way, the fortuneteller traveled around the world with Zhu Yuanzhang's fan. Wherever he goes, as long as he takes out his fan, local officials will warmly receive him. When you meet bandits and mountain thieves, you can easily walk by with your fan out. When he meets a toll booth, he takes out his fan and can pass directly without paying. The fortune teller has been wandering outside for 20 years, and suddenly one day he read his palm, only to find that something was wrong. He left and went home.

When the fortune teller came home, he said to his wife, "I will die in ten years, so I want to say goodbye to you." Goodbye! " After that, he went to the capital and died, and his wife looked blank. After the physiognomy came to Beijing, Aquamarine just came back from pacifying Yunnan. He heard that the physiognomist was coming and asked him to tell his fortune. The fortuneteller said to Aquamarine, "You will be sealed by Guo Liang, but you will die in seven days." Aquamarine doesn't believe it at all. Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang named him Liang Guogong, and soon found an excuse to kill him.

Before she died, Aquamarine remembered what the fortune teller had said before. He shouted, "The fortune teller is so accurate!" " Zhu Yuanzhang paid attention to it as soon as he heard it. After sending someone to inquire, he knew that the fortune teller had come to Beijing and calculated a divination for Aquamarine. So Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent someone to arrest the fortune teller and ask, "You will be a ghost. Have you calculated when you will die?"

The fortune teller replied, "I have already calculated, and I am going to die today!" " "Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to kill him, but seeing that he was so stubborn, he ordered to kill him. Only after killing did I find out that everything was calculated by a fortune teller. Since ancient times, fortune tellers have a rule that they can tell others' fortune, but not their own. This fortune teller can not only count others, but also count himself, much worse than Liu Bowen.
