Zalantun fortune teller

Zhang Shixun and his friends went to tell a fortune, and the fortune teller said that he could be a prime minister. After that, the two men asked a fortune teller to tell their fortune. The fortune teller still said that they also had the life of being prime ministers. It was because the fortune teller's words made people around him feel unconvinced, so when these four people left, everyone gradually stopped looking for fortune tellers to tell their fortune. The fortune teller died of poverty because he had no job to do.

At that time, Fan Zhen participated in the compilation of the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, which can be said to have made great contributions to history. He not only wrote the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, but also wrote the Chronicle of Dongzhai. What is recorded in this "Dongzhai Chronicle" is something that makes him feel very novel, including the story of a fortune teller.

At that time, Fan Zhen had a good friend named Zhang Shixun. Zhang Shixun's identity is unusual. He is the prime minister of this dynasty. He once told Fan Zhen about his early experiences. At that time, Zhang Shixun had not yet become prime minister. He has just become famous. Once, he was invited by a friend to visit Suoguo Temple. At that time, two people saw a divination booth on the side of the road and wanted the fortune teller on the booth to tell their fortune.

At that time, the fortune teller told them with a surprised face that both of them could be prime ministers. The two thought that what the fortune teller said at that time was just a joke to amuse the guests. I heard that after they left, two more people came to see the fortune teller for divination. Fortune tellers also said that they were destined to be prime ministers. At that time, the onlookers heard that the fortune teller told four people one after another that they could be prime ministers, but they didn't believe him.

However, it was not until these four men really became the prime ministers of the dynasty that people remembered the fortune teller at that time. It was only later that people around them said that he was a charlatan and had no real skills, so people stopped looking for him for divination. And this magical fortune teller finally died because of bad business.
