Everyone knows that in ancient times, people did not have scientific concepts, so they pushed many unexplained things onto the "ghosts and gods". At that time, the people from the emperor down to the Li people were very convinced of these things, and the emperors would also raise some special fortune tellers in the palace.
Someone may have said, isn't this xiangshi a fortune teller? In fact, Xiangshi is not just a simple fortune teller, if you can become an emperor, basically have real talent and practical learning. They do a lot of work, in addition to fortune telling, they also have to judge the hour and size up the situation, and give some suggestions for the emperor on state affairs, which is equivalent to the emperor's think tank.
Today Xiaobian will tell you a famous story of Xiangshi, which happened during the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang originally intended to pass the throne to the crown prince Zhu Biao, but he did not expect that Zhu Biao actually died in front of him, and in desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about passing the throne to Zhu Yunjiao, who was still a child.
But Zhu Di, who knew this decision, was unwilling, because Zhu Di was older than Zhu Yunjiao, and he had already made a lot of military achievements before this, so he was very dissatisfied with this decision, and secretly recruited soldiers and horses to prepare to seize the throne into his hands.
However, as we all know, in ancient times, if there was anything important, people would look for people to see the day. Zhu Di was no exception, he found a xiangshi named Yuan Jue and asked him if he could make this happen. Yuan Jue looked at Zhu Di and said, "When you are about forty years old, you can definitely be called the king of a country." ”
Later, after Zhu Di became emperor, he made Yuan Jue the Prince of Taichang Temple, and if there was anything, he would ask Yuan Jue. After Yuan Jue's death, his son Yuan Zhongche inherited his mantle and continued to serve as a courtier in the imperial palace. And because Yuan Zhongche is very talented, he is already very famous at a young age.
At that time, although Zhu Di's eldest son Zhu Gaozi was made crown prince, Zhu Gaozi knew that he was weak since childhood, not to mention that he was fighting outside like other princes, and even his physical health could not be guaranteed. Moreover, he also had a younger brother, Zhu Gaoxu, who was both younger and stronger than him, and who had made great achievements at a young age, and could be said to be a strong contender for his throne.
So he summoned Yuan Zhongche to tell his fortune to see if he could successfully ascend to the throne, but he did not expect yuan Zhongche to shake his head after hearing this question, and Zhu Gaochi knew what it meant when he saw this performance, so he went back discouraged. But he did not expect that Zhu Di would actually pass the throne to himself.
After Zhu Gaochi sat on the throne, he immediately sent someone to arrest Yuan Zhongche and prepare for him to behead him, but Yuan Zhongche did not hesitate to say to Zhu Gaochi: "Do you dare to let me live for another 19 days?" "Zhu Gaozi thinks that he has become the emperor anyway, give you another 19 days of opportunity, I want to see what kind of moth you can make."
Unexpectedly, nineteen days later, Zhu Gaozi suddenly fell ill and died. And Yuan Zhongche was directly released. What are your thoughts on this matter? Welcome to leave a message to tell the editor!
