Fortune Telling Saved the Emperor _ Fortune Telling Saved the Emperor's Novel

Xu Zun was a famous physiognomist in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his life was found in the book Ji Fang in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Xu Zun is knowledgeable, "familiar with the Book of Changes, good at divination, familiar with astronomy, wind angle, occupation and anti-stabbing", with a very high level and "experience like a god". Gao Huan, the powerful minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, heard about Xu Zun and took him as a public guest. Xu Zun can not only tell others' fortune, but also tell his own fortune. "He said he would not be rich or die suddenly." .

This means that he thinks he will be poor all his life, but he will not die suddenly, and he will die a fair death. Therefore, Xu Zun's temperament is grotesque and even undisguised. "He is willful and indulgent, and often offends Gao Huan. Fortunately, Gao Huan never argued with him and "always cherished it".

Later, Gao Huan's son Gao Yang became emperor and established Beiqi. Xu Zun is also a royal fortune teller.

Xu Zun is closely related to Gao Yang's uncle Gao Yue, who recommended Xu Zun as the secretary of Kaifu Cao Tian. Gao Yue was named Queen of Qinghe and told Xu Zun cheerfully, but Xu Zun made fun of him and said, "Bees are also kings."

In 554 AD, the Western Wei Dynasty sent troops to attack Nanliang Jiangling. Emperor Yuan of Liang asked Beiqi for help, and Gao Yang ordered Gao Yue to lead the troops to save him. Gao Yue said goodbye to Xu Zun before the battle. Xu Zun said, "This trip will inevitably lead to future disasters, so you should refuse to go." Hearing this, Gao Yue was a little worried and said, "The emperor has decided that I must go. I intend to invite you to join me. " Xu Zun immediately called a spade a spade: "I only go with the living, not the dead." Gao Yue was helpless and set off with great anxiety.

As a result, before Gaoyue arrived in Jiangling, Jiangling had been breached by the Western Wei Dynasty, and Gaoyue had to return in vain. When Gao Yue was away, his enemies took the opportunity to slander Gao Yang, frame him and slander him. In 555 AD, Gao Yue returned to Korea and was executed by Gao Yang soon after.

After Gao Yue's death, Xu Zun was dissatisfied with Gao Yang. Gao Yang was a tyrant and killed people like hemp. "There is no way to get worse." One day in 559 AD, probably feeling that Gao Yang's life was coming to an end, Xu Zun said to the people around him, "I want to calculate carefully when the madman, the emperor, will die." So after some calculation, Xu Zun said happily and regretfully, "I won't see you until early winter." It means that the time will not exceed early winter, and the emperor must die. Unfortunately, I can't see it, because I will die before him.

Later, as he said, "the ancestors died in October and the country died in September." Gao Yang died in that year 10, while Xu Zun died before Gao Yang in September.
