Hu Guotai's fortune telling

Qianlong is the longest-lived emperor in the history of China, living to 89 years old. Although Qianlong has only been in power for 60 years, one year less than Emperor Kangxi, but the actual ruling time is the longest.

When Qianlong was 60 years old, out of respect for Kangxi, he didn't want to surpass the record of his reign. So in this year, I abdicated and retired to the power of the emperor's father for three years.

Because during the Qianlong period, Wenzhi's martial arts reached its acme, but due to his shortcomings such as exultation and self-righteousness, social contradictions began to emerge bit by bit. The phenomenon caused by ethnic oppression became more and more serious, and the Qing Dynasty embarked on the road of decline in the last years of Qianlong.

A person who doesn't tell fortune is actually a smart-ass villain.

Forty-four years after Qianlong, there was one? Fortune teller? I want to change my poor living situation, and I flatter myself in front of the whole world in order to seek prosperity.

I am so self-righteous. At the peak of the literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty, he deserved to be put to death for saying something that seemed outrageous at that time. What the hell is that?

This man is not just a fortune teller. His name is Zhi Tianbao and he is a charlatan. He is not skilled in medicine, but he is active in evil intentions. One day, I passed by a village to prepare for medical treatment. It was getting late, so I stayed at the home of a man named Zhang.

Zhang used to be a domestic worker, but his life is a bit hard. Seeing that Zhi Tianbao could make money by cooking some medicine seemed easy, he worshipped Zhi Tianbao as a teacher to study medicine.

The bloody case caused by "Zhi Tianbao fabricated a book case of ten thousand years in this dynasty" and "the fate of Qing Dynasty"

During this period, Zhi Tianbao compiled a book and presented it to Emperor Qianlong for wealth. The whole book is touting the Qing Dynasty.

It is said that the weather is favorable, the country is rich and the people are safe, and the Great Qing Dynasty can exist for at least 800 years, which is longer than the longest Zhou Dynasty in history. It is also mentioned that today's St. Qianlong can live to be at least 80 years old, and the book is called "Clear Sky and Rhyme".

He told his disciple Zhang that this book was written in the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong. When he was collecting herbs in the mountains, he met the old mage and spread it to his mind. Only recently did they copy all the books on paper, and they discussed that they must go to Beijing to present the books to the holy one.

However, this intelligent leopard also left a hand, saying that his legs and feet were inconvenient and he couldn't keep up with his disciples. Let the disciples submit the book first, and he will take his time. In fact, he is also a smart man, knowing that this matter may have serious consequences, so let the apprentice try the water first.

Although no one was a fool in feudal society at that time, who believed the story of the emergence of the old Lord? This book was written by the author Zhi Tianbao himself, but he was talking nonsense about the Qing Dynasty.

Although from the long river of history, this book is touting the Qing Dynasty and Qianlong, saying that their life span is first-class in history, but the rulers of a dynasty at that time hated such words.

Since Qin Shihuang, all rulers want their lives to be immortal and their dynasties to continue from generation to generation. And this kind of life span of seeing hundreds of years has been said by others, not to mention that he is a charlatan. How can Gan Long not be angry?

Gan Long immediately ordered the arrest of the author, and Zhang was directly arrested. Gan Long found out that this man was not the author. According to Zhang's confession, he sent people to search for Zhitianbao along the road, and finally he successfully captured Zhitianbao.

After successfully arresting the two men, ministers began to discuss how to deal with them. Disaster country? People. Gan Long waved his hand and said that he had been beheaded. People who talk about the country in this way must make an example of them and stop any nonsense in the future. The case was recorded as "Zhi Tianbao fabricated a book case of ten thousand years in this dynasty".

This is a typical case in which idlers in the Jianghu talk about their destiny in order to gain the appreciation and wealth of the emperor. Although it did not have a strong enough impact on society, the crimes it committed were extremely huge, and it was suspected of misleading people, slandering and cursing the emperor.

The most taboo in ancient times was the question of life and death. This book boldly predicts the time of death and judges the emperor like a god. As the only thrill, the emperor didn't even know when he died, so this little man was crazy and talked nonsense.

Therefore, Zhi Tianbao is really just a little clever, and has never speculated on the emperor's mind. The author believes that this literary inquisition can be regarded as one of the few literary inquisitions that have not wronged good people.
