Lao Huang Li Yuan plough

Yuan Tiangang was a famous astronomer, astrologer and forecaster in the Tang Dynasty. In today's words, he will be a fortune teller, but Yuan Tiangang's fortune-telling is very accurate, even reaching the point of predicting the future. Yuan Tiangang was also called a brain trust by Emperor Taizong. In 645, Yuan Tiangang died suddenly at the age of 72. After Yuan Tiangang's death, the prediction of his date of birth came true one by one, which is amazing.

Yuan Tiangang is most famous for her prediction of Wu Zetian.

According to Tang Shu, when Wu Zetian was born, Yuan Tiangang went to Wu Zetian's home to congratulate her. As soon as Yuan Tiangang saw Wu Zetian's mother, he was surprised and said, Your wife is going to be born. So Wu Zetian's mother first pulled her two sons out for Yuan Tiangang to visit fortune-teller. Yuan Tiangang just shook his head and said it wasn't them. Then Wu Zetian's sister was brought out. As soon as Yuan Tiangang saw that he hadn't arrived, he asked, Does your wife have a son? Wu Zetian's mother saw that Wu Zetian was still in infancy, and Wu Zetian was wearing men's clothes. Yuan Tiangang mistakenly thought it was a boy, but unfortunately said: If it was a woman, it would be impossible to spy, and then it would be time to be the master of the world.

History has proved that Yuan Tiangang's speculation is correct. In 690, the first year of providence, Wu Zetian proclaimed herself emperor and became the first female emperor in the history of China.

As mentioned above, Yuan Tiangang was called a brain trust by Emperor Taizong. One day, Emperor Taizong was idle and summoned Yuan Tiangang. Emperor Taizong wanted to test Yuan Tiangang, and casually said: How long can the kingdom of the Tang Dynasty last? Emperor Taizong once gave Yuan Tiangang a difficult question, but if this question is not answered well, he will be beheaded.

Yuan Tiangang thought for a moment and replied: When Zhu Neng climbed the tree. Emperor Taizong laughed after hearing this. How can pigs climb trees? Emperor Taizong thought that Yuan Tiangang meant that the mountains and rivers in the Tang Dynasty could be strong forever, so he was very happy to reward Yuan Tiangang. However, Emperor Taizong forgot that Yuan Tiangang was a forecaster, but Yuan Tiangang could not reveal the secret. Emperor Taizong did not understand the meaning of Yuan Tiangang's words.

God bless four years (907), Zhu Wen forced Tang Aidi to take the position of Pear and Bamboo Zen, claiming to be the emperor, establishing the Liang Dynasty and changing the Yuan Dynasty to Kaiping.

And then what? Zhu? Is it the same? Pigs? Yuan Tiangang had long predicted that the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed by Zhu Wen.

There are countless magical legends about Yuan Tiangang, but the title is Yuan Tiangang? A generation of demon people? , it is too inappropriate.
