When the Taoist priest saw this word, his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, he said, according to this word and Zhu Yuanzhang's face, it was predicted that he would become "the most honorable person in the world", at this time, as a beggar, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was full of doubts, and he couldn't help but think: "Can I really become the emperor?" ”

Then, the gears of fate began to turn quietly, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart seemed to light a bright light, he decided to rise up against this ruthless fate, through his own efforts, he joined the rebel army, began his legendary journey, as the Taoist priest hinted, in the future he continued to rise, and finally became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty
Things seem to be going smoothly, but in fact, after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, his heart was full of uneasiness, his identity from a beggar to the emperor, it seemed that he lost his sense of security to some extent, although he sat on the throne, but the inferiority complex in his heart has always lingered, the past experience has become the deepest shadow of his soul, as if a nerve that pricked him, when he recalled the Taoist priest he saw for the first time, countless questions kept emerging in his mind: Is the Taoist priest a human or a ghost? Did everything he said really hit his life?

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang in order to confirm his identity, decided to make a private visit, wanting to feel the folk voice that constantly made him feel uneasy in his heart, in a frequent trip, Zhu Yuanzhang encountered a street fortune teller Taoist priest, different from the previous Taoist priest, this Taoist priest is even more disrespectful, bluntly said "I live one day longer than you", this bold sentence instantly ignited the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, his face instantly gloomy, and his heart was excited
Under this kind of emotion of being threatened and angry, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt like a great enemy, and the guards behind him also knew that something was wrong, and they pulled out their knives one after another, silently waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was tumbling with countless emotions, the Taoist priest in front of him was simply ignorant and arrogant, hearing this, his face changed greatly, and the trace of warmth just now instantly froze, which was not only a challenge to his identity, but also a trick on his majesty as the king of a country

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the arrest of the Taoist priest and decided to make him pay for an offensive word, his imperial path seemed to be not allowed to be desecrated, and no one was allowed to try to threaten his life, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have become a "ruthless" ruler, decisive and decisive, he truly believed that even if the Taoist priest could really tell fortunes, but for him, the biggest threat was the provocation to his power
At that time, the people's trust in the Taoist priest was incomparably great, they often had a soft spot for fortune telling, Zhu Yuanzhang did not like it, he openly declared that the Taoist priest was a liar, in this way, not only the denial of the Taoist priest, but also to convey a message to the people - who dares to claim that it can affect his lifespan, will have to bear the consequences

After Zhu Yuanzhang strode away, the next day he walked out of the palace gate as always, his heart was full of confidence and clarity, and the wheel of history seemed to be turning around him again, as if to show the world that any challenge to his fate was doomed to failure
History often brings mysterious turns and unsolvable mysteries, recalling that Taoist priest, although it was his own cleverness that led to his resentment, but the Taoist priest also predicted the future of Zhu Yuanzhang, people can't help but wonder: what is the connection between him and Zhu Yuanzhang?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has already become the Ninth Five-Year Honor, he has not forgotten his original difficulties and trials, perhaps many years later, he has learned to reflect on fate with a calm attitude, the difference is that he once went from insignificant to now the king of the world; In this process, the ups and downs he went through largely showed the story of a man's struggle for himself
With the long river of history, the story between Zhu Yuanzhang and the two Taoist priests has become the most flickering light in the fog of history, maybe one day in the future, future generations will interpret these legends with a more sober eye, because life, in fact, is a reincarnation of fate, there are both light and shadows, but behind every story, there is always full of wisdom and truth
