In ancient times, scholars were known for their ingenuity and antiquity, and they were able to predict a person's future and good fortune by observing their appearance, behavior, charm, and even bones.
Zhu Jianping was one of the fortune tellers, who was entrusted by Cao Cao and Cao Pi. Cao Pi once asked about his lifespan at a banquet, and Zhu Jianping predicted that he would live to be at least eighty years old.
However, historical records show that Cao Pi died at the age of forty. This makes people wonder if Zhu Jianping's magic plan is real.
Zhu Jianping lived a helpless life in his early years, relying on his skills, that is, physiognomy, walking the streets and alleys to tell fortunes for people, and his reputation gradually spread.
He even entered the court to tell fortunes for kings and nobles.
At the banquet, Zhu Jianping ordered Cao Pi and other guests, and his prophecies were fulfilled one by one, such as Xiahouwei's position as the state pastor and Ying Xuan's position as Chang Bo, all of which became part of history.
However, Cao Pi's fate does not seem to be as Zhu Jianping said. Cao Pi went on many personal expeditions, but each time he failed, and eventually lost his ambition.
When Cao Pi died of illness, he exclaimed that Zhu Jianping's fortune-telling was accurate. However, Cao Pi understood the true meaning of the prophecy and believed that eighty years old refers to the combination of yang and yin, which is 40 days and 40 nights, that is, the whole life process.
Zhu Jianping's superb physiognomy is not only manifested in Xiangren, but also in Xiangma.
Once, he saw Cao Pi pulling out a horse and prophesied that the horse would die that day. Although Cao Pi didn't care, in the end the horse died in a turmoil, which verified Zhu Jianping's excellent skills.
However, Zhu Jianping's prediction is not 100% accurate and there are mistakes.
If Wang Su's prophecy fails to come true, it raises questions about the authenticity of his physiognomy. Zhu Jianping died in the early years of the Huang Dynasty, leaving behind his masterpiece "The Book of the Original Monarch", but his physiognomy is still widely praised in later generations.
In this mysterious and puzzling history, Zhu Jianping's physiognomy talents, as well as his interactions with Cao Pi and other historical figures, constitute an ancient and intriguing story.
