Li Shimin asked Yuan Tiangang how long the Tang Dynasty could last. What does Yuan Tiangang mean when he says that pigs can climb trees?

This is a way for Yuan Tiangang to save his life. You should know that Yuan Tiangang has done a lot for Li Shimin, while Li Shimin has some doubts. If Yuan Tiangang doesn't answer well, it may be the crime of decapitation.

First of all, the question raised by Li Shimin is particularly sensitive. Who is Yuan Tiangang? He was a famous master of metaphysics at that time. He can predict good and bad luck and infer the result of some things. Li Shimin may also be worried about this force majeure. I'm afraid that one day Yuan Tiangang will predict the next dynasty.

So when Yuan Tiangang answered this question, it was the time when Li Shimin was considering whether to kill Yuan Tiangang. This problem is very difficult. If Yuan Tiangang can't predict correctly, he will be ruined and killed in the end. But who is Yuan Tiangang? He was very sensible and gave an ambiguous answer.

Yuan Tiangang told Li Shimin that the Tang Dynasty could last until pigs could climb trees. You know how pigs climb trees in Li Shimin. Since pigs can't climb trees, it means that the Tang Dynasty can last for thousands of generations. Just thinking about it made me feel very excited, so Li Shimin was flattered by Yuan Tiangang, so he let Yuan Tiangang go.

Have to say, Yuan Tiangang does have some mysterious feeling. Yuan Tiangang met Wu Zetian when he was a child. At that time, Yuan Tiangang predicted that if Wu Zetian was a woman, she would become the son of heaven in the future. I didn't expect a word to become a prophecy. It was really later that Wu Zetian became a female emperor.

At the same time, Yuan Tiangang can also predict the day when his time is coming. In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, he asserted that he would not live to April of that summer, so he died that day.

It can only be said that God Yuan Tiangang's prediction was particularly accurate, so Li Shiming asked that question, and Yuan Tiangang answered Li Shiming, knowing that it could have such a long history close to the Tang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, who knows that pigs climb trees behind, so Li Shiming is actually happy in vain.
