"Knowing this world in front of the chest, knowing all the divine skills, yin and yang gossip life and death are self-evident", this seems to be the best description of fortune tellers.
They are clever and divine, and they can not only be liked by the people, but also highly valued by the kings of all countries; They know astronomy and geography, and can even calculate a person's life and death time, and their peerless ability makes people have to admire.
In history, there was a fortune teller named Zhu Jianping. He once became acquainted with Cao Cao, and was later ordered to tell Cao Pi's fortune. During the banquet, he calculated that Cao Pi would live to be at least 80 years old, but looking through the relevant information, we learned that in fact, Cao Pi only lived to be 40 years old before he died.
And when Cao Pi remembered Zhu Jianping's prophecy before he died, not only did he not take his head for the crime of bullying the king, but even shouted: "It's accurate." "What's going on here?
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many heroes, but no matter how talented the heroes were, they also needed Bole's insight. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were reused because of their courage and good fighting, while Zhu Jianping gained a future for himself because of his clever calculations. As the saying goes: people cannot be disguised, and the sea cannot be measured.
Zhu Jianping can speculate on a person's future and good fortune by observing their appearance, behavior, charm, and even bones.
Zhu Jianping was born in a poor peasant family and has always lived a helpless life. But fortunately, he had a skill, that is, he could tell fortunes, so he wandered the streets and alleys to tell fortunes for people, and most of the things that he did through his fortune-telling came true, and soon his fame spread in the city.
In the social environment at that time, not only the people were superstitious, but the rulers were also very superstitious, and there were many kings who were very obsessed with metaphysics and gossip.
As Zhu Jianping's fame grew, he gradually became a court nobility and began to tell fortunes for big people. Later, after Cao Cao became the Duke of Wei, he heard about Zhu Jianping's fortune-telling skills, so he summoned him to the palace and ordered him to be a Lang official, specializing in fortune-telling for high-ranking officials and nobles.
About Zhu Jianping's fortune-telling god, it has been repeatedly recorded in the official history, and the most commendable of them is the story of his fortune-telling for Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi.
According to the records in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, it can be known that when Zhu Jianping was a general in the palace, he often wandered among the wealthy nobles and the court. And Cao Pi is also a person who likes to make friends, and under Cao Cao's recommendation, Zhu Jianping got acquainted with Cao Pi.
Later, Cao Pi held a banquet in the mansion and invited Zhu Jianping to sit together.
At that time, as many as 30 people were invited, including Sima Yi, Xiahouwei, Cao Zhen, Cao Biao and others. Halfway through the banquet, Cao Pi suddenly became interested and asked Cao Pi: "What is my longevity, and what is the face of the guests here?" ”
After Zhu Jianping saw Cao Pi's face, he said to Cao Pi: "The general should be eighty years old, and when he is forty years old, there are small setbacks, please be cautious and cherish life." ”
Later, he told the fortunes of the guests present one by one, and said to Xiahouwei: "You should be a state pastor at the age of forty-nine, but there is a disaster, if you can avoid this disaster, you can live to the age of seventy, and you will be the public assistant." ”
Zhu Jianping walked up to Ying Xuan and said to him: "When you were sixty-two years old as Chang Bo, there was a disaster. Before you take this position, you will encounter a white dog, but only you can see it, no one else can see it. Later, he said to Cao Biao: "According to the power of the vassal state, when you are fifty-seven years old, you will cause a mutiny, so you must be careful to prevent it." ”
What is admirable is that these prophecies have all "worked".
At that time, when Zhuge Liang was on a southern expedition, Cao Pi also launched a southern expedition to defeat Sun Wu. When Cao Pi personally led his troops to Guangling City, he stopped by the river to observe the military situation, looked at the place where Sun Wu's army was stationed, and saw the city wall guarding the forest without a chance.
On the opposite side, Sun Wu's army was ambitious, attacked Cao Pi's military camp at night, and took away Cao Pi's royal car, and the embarrassed Cao Pi hurriedly led thousands of warships to retreat, but because the waterway was very narrow, thousands of warships were congested in the river and could not move forward, and the action was extremely slow.
There is a river blockage in front, and there is Sun Wu chasing after it, and at the moment of crisis, someone proposes to get off the boat to dig the river and drag the warship forward with manpower, and after dozens of hours of excavation by the soldiers, the warship can barely enter the Wei River.
This expedition can be described as embarrassing, Cao Pi, who personally conquered the royal car, did his best, but Cao Pi did not lose confidence, in his 7 years of reign, he had launched 3 large-scale expeditions, each time he personally led the troops to fight, the degree of attention can be imagined, but every time it was in vain, was beaten to the ground.
Cao Pi's ambitions also gradually declined.
In the second year after the crusade against Sun Wu, Cao Pi led his army to Xuchang, and when Sima Yi went to meet Cao Pi, something strange happened. The city wall, which had always been strong, suddenly collapsed, and Cao Pi recalled what happened to his father Cao Cao: when Cao Cao returned to his teacher, there was a man cutting down a tree after entering the city, and it was strange that the tree was bleeding for no reason.
Cao Pi thought that the collapse of the city wall must be a bad omen, and he was always uneasy in his heart, and then there was a problem with his body, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army and no longer entered Xuchang and returned to Luoyang.
Unexpectedly, after returning to Luoyang, Cao Pi became ill, and even became more and more serious. Cao Pi thinks about "bleeding trees" and "falling city walls" every day, and combined with his own experience, I don't know if it is because of strong psychological hints, he can't afford to get sick.
When he was lying on the sickbed, he remembered what Zhu Jianping said when he told his fortune. According to Zhu Jianping, he can live to be eighty years old, but he really doesn't know if he can survive his current physical condition.
And Zhu Jianping is also very worried, whether Cao Pi can understand what he said, if he doesn't understand, is he guilty of bullying the monarch and wants to be killed?
He was so frightened that he didn't sleep well for several nights. But he later learned from Cao Pi's people around him that Cao Pi didn't blame himself at all, and even exclaimed that he was accurate in his calculations before he died? Why is that?
It turned out that when Cao Pi was lying on the sickbed, suddenly, he seemed to understand the true meaning of Zhu Jianping's prophecy, so he said to Sima Yi and Chen Qun who were accompanying him: "I already know the heavenly opportunity, Zhu Jianping's 80th birthday refers to the combination of yin and yang, it is 40 day years plus 40 night years, and today my life has come to an end!" It didn't take long for Cao Pi to die.
But is it really as Cao Pi said? In fact, not only that, Zhu Jianping has his own scheming in it. Zhu Jianping's "you can live to be 80 years old" was just a delaying tactic at that time, because Zhu Jianping already knew Cao Pi very well before attending the meeting.
At that time, after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi became the king of Wei, known as "Emperor Wen of Wei" in history, and during his reign, he was conscientious. Because it was a newly established dynasty and the state affairs were busy, Cao Pi always personally handled government affairs and paid private visits. After a few years, the body seems to have collapsed.
But Cao Pi's style of dealing with things has always been very ruthless, and his cruelty is higher than that of his father. And he is also a very stubborn person, not very able to listen to persuasion, gloomy mind, always suspect that the people around him are not sincere to him, so when he took office, he mistakenly killed many virtuous and loyal ministers.
When Cao Pi asked Zhu Jianping to tell his fortune, Zhu Jianping carefully looked at Cao Pi's complexion and found that his Yin Tang was black, and the bad luck between his eyebrows was very clear, and according to his current physical state, he could only live to be forty years old at most.
But Cao Pi was in a high position at the time, and he was just a small fortune teller, if he told the truth, he would definitely be divided by the five horses, so he used this method to save his life.
In addition to Cao Pi's prophecy, the things that were prophesied by others at the meeting at that time also came true. At that time, when Xiahouwei was serving as the assassin in Yanzhou, he was forty-nine years old, feeling unwell, and fell ill in early December.
When he was on the sickbed, he remembered Zhu Jianping's prophecy and thought that he must be living at the end of his life. So he prepared a will in advance, explained the funeral, and waited for death to come.
But what he didn't expect was that in late December, his body suddenly improved, and he was even about to **. So on December 30, when the sun was setting in the west, he asked the housekeeper in the house to hold a banquet and said: "My illness has gradually improved, and tomorrow the rooster will be 50 years old when it crows. ”
But what I didn't expect was that Xiahouwei still didn't survive this hurdle after all, and after seeing off the guests, he fell ill as soon as he fell asleep and died in the middle of the night.
Ying Xuan's prophecy also came true. Sixty-one-year-old Ying Xuan served as a waiter in the palace, and he was on duty that night.
Suddenly a big white dog appeared in front of his eyes, so he asked the people around him if they saw the big white dog, but he didn't expect that the people around him really couldn't see it, only he could see it, at this time Ying Xuan thought of Zhu Jianping's prophecy, and said: "This person is really a god operator!" After that, he drank and had fun many times, and spent many times with his family and friends, and died not long after.
And Cao Biao, whom Zhu Jianping faced, did not escape the prophecy, after he was named the king of Chu, he partnered with Wang Ling to usurp the throne at the age of fifty-seven, and both were given to commit suicide. None of these people who were met by Zhu Jianping escaped his clever calculation.
For Zhu Jianping's physiognomy skills, the people at that time were obvious to all, and everyone admired his talent very much, and they wanted to find him for fortune telling. For example, his friends Xun You and Zhong Xuan also wanted to know what their faces were, so they invited Zhu Jianping to tell their fortunes.
After seeing the faces of the two, Zhu Jianping said: "Although Xun Jun is young, he went before Zhong Jun, and he should pay Zhong Jun in the future." After hearing this, Zhong Miao laughed loudly: "Do you want me to marry his concubine?" Zhu Jianping smiled and said, "That's right." ”
Unexpectedly, the prophecy came true, and Xun You really died not long after. Before Xun You died, he entrusted the family to Zhong Xuan, and later the family was in difficulty, so Zhong Xuan married Xun You's concubine Ah Xuan, so that she could live a good life.
After that, Zhong Miao said: "I expected that the joke would come true back then." "Now that I think about it, Zhu Jianping's truth is so wonderful that it can even be compared with Tang Ju, Xu Cheng and others.
In addition to Xiangren, Zhu Jianping's magic skills are also very superb. Once, Cao Pi wanted to go out, so he pulled out a horse from the stable, and happened to meet Zhu Jianping walking in front of the stable. After Zhu Jianping looked at the horse, he said to Cao Pi: "This horse should die today." Cao Pi smiled disdainfully and ignored Zhu Jianping.
But before he could go far, the horse suddenly went berserk. It turned out that the horse smelled the incense powder used on Cao Pi's body, and when the clothes fluttered in the wind, the horse was frightened by the smell, and turned around and bit Cao Pi's knee. Cao Pi was furious on the spot, and immediately took out his sword and killed the horse.
Although Zhu Jianping is like a god, he is not without mistakes, Wang Su is an example. When Wang Su was sixty-two years old, he had a very serious illness, and many doctors were invited to say that he was unable to return to heaven.
Wang Su's wife was very sad and asked him if he had any last words, Wang Su said: "Jianping is more than 70 years old, and I am the third duke, and now it is not the case, what will I worry about!" However, this time Zhu Jianping did not calculate accurately, and it didn't take long for Wang Su to die.
I thought that such a prodigy could live a long life and live for a hundred years. But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Jianping died not long after Cao Pi's death.
According to the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: "Zhu Jianping died in the early Huang dynasty (220 226). The only work left in the world is "The Book of the Original King", and its talent has been widely sung by later generations.
Regarding Zhu Jianping's deeds, there are quite a few records in ancient books. For example, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Legend of Fang Ji", he and Hua Tuo, Du Kui, Guan Lu and other strange people of the Three Kingdoms were combined in one biography, which can highlight his status as a scholar. When he died, many people were very sad and expressed their condolences.
For example, Zhong Miao once said: "Remembering the second of Jianping, although Tang Ju and Xu Negative can be added!" ”
There is also the modern Chen Shou said: "Hua Tuo's medical diagnosis, Du Kui's vocal music, Zhu Jianping's physiognomy, Zhou Xuan's dream, and the art of Guan Zhen are all subtle and ingenious, and they are very stunts." In the past, the history of Bian Que, Canggong, and the Japanese were passed on, so they were widely heard and wondered. Therefore, Yun'er is recorded. It can be seen that Zhu Jianping's ability to calculate is really profound!
