The most accurate and divine case of Yuan Tiangang's fortune telling is to tell Wu Zetian's fortune. It is said that when Wu Zetian was a baby, one day she went to the samurai's home in Yangzhou Governor's House (that is, the deputy governor). When she saw the Great Xia looking for thorium, she immediately said that she had given birth to a son, which aroused Yang's interest. She quickly invited her eldest son Wu and her second son Wu, and invited Yuan Tiangang to see the photo. Yuan Tiangang said that he was an official whose creed was to protect his family. At that time, Wu's family relationship made him go, and his official position was roughly equivalent to three or four products. Later, Wu went to a junior mansion and a junior prison, which were also roughly three or four officials. Yang introduced his eldest daughter, the Korean wife of Wu Zetian's sister. Yuan Tiangang said: This woman is expensive but not good for her husband. Later, she married Helan Yueshi and was really widowed. Finally, Yang asked the nanny to take her second daughter Wu Zetian out. Wu Zetian was dressed as a boy and asked Yuan Tiangang to tell her fortune. Yuan Tiangang carefully observed her eyes and ears and exclaimed, "Dragon pupils and phoenix necks are extremely expensive!" ! If you are a woman, be the son of heaven. Later, everyone knew about Wu Zetian. The reason why Yuan Tiangang was spread so brilliantly is estimated to be related to the expanded propaganda that later Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor to prove that his throne was in line with destiny. Yuan Tiangang's prediction of Wu's mother's affinity with four young children is indeed accurate.
In addition to the Wu family of five, Yuan Tiangang also visited Du Yan, Wang Ting, Wei Ting and Dou Gui. He said that Du Yan's Lantai and school are rich, and he will show it in an article, saying that Wang Si's law has been established, and heaven and earth are in harmony, and Wei Ting is like a tiger in ten years. Forced to be an official. It seems that all three are senior officials, but he warned: However, all three kings have been condemned for a long time, so I want to see them. Sure enough, Du Yan later became a bachelor, Wang Ting was the Prince Zhongyun, and Wei Ting was the left-back rate. Finally, he showed a photo of the sinus and said that he had a rhinoceros wearing a jade pillow, and the auxiliary horn was finished for ten years. It can be seen that the main work is the evil between Liang and Yi. Dou Gui was later shot and became a servant of Yizhou. However, he also said that he was honest and clean, but he just floated into the mansion in the language of the square. As a public servant, he killed a few more people and was willing to quit. Soon, Dou Gui was convicted of murder and dismissed from his post. Miraculously, Yuan Tiangang said to him: Never mind the public. Right auxiliary ze and move, will also soon. Sure enough, Dou Gui quickly resumed his official position and became the viceroy.
In addition, Yuan Tiangang was ordered by Emperor Taizong to meet fortune-tellers Cen Wenben, Zhang Hangcheng and Ma Zhou respectively, saying that Cen Wenben School was beautiful, so the article shook the world. It is said that Ma Zhou's nose runs through the brain. If his back is negative, it is very expensive to test. When you meet an ancient monarch and minister, there is no public. But the face is red, the ears are rootless, the back bone is not long, and the life span is not long. It is said that Zhang Hangcheng was a later official and eventually became prime minister. According to the New Tang Book, the official positions, achievements and longevity of these three men are all as they say.
But what is most praised by later generations is Yuan Tiangang's prediction of the Tang and Five Dynasties and his own destiny. In the early years of Wude, Gao Shilian once asked him: What kind of official will you become in the end? Yuan Tiangang said: I was unlucky in April this summer. Sure enough, he died as scheduled, when he was in charge of the fire well.
In the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang was called a master because of his geomantic omen. What is rare is that all kinds of magical predictions before his death are accurate and recorded in the official history books of the old and new Tang Dynasties.
In unofficial history, Yuan Tiangang tells more fortune-telling stories. He said that Li's five products could not be seen. It is possible if it is an important official position below level 6. He said that Fang is either rich or expensive. He said that Jiang Yan should be imprisoned for many years, and he could be rich and expensive in the future, follow someone and be a secretariat. At noon on August 5th at the age of eighty-three, his salary was terminated. He said Li Yifu is expensive, but he won't live long. He said that Li Qiao must be rich and live a long life, but he can't be rich. He said that Yao Chong would be rich in the future. This prediction is accurate and magical.
According to the comprehensive data, the fate predictions of about 13 people in the official history, including Yuan Tiangang himself, are accurate, and the fate predictions of about 6 people in unofficial history are also accurate.
Yuan Tiangang's actual predictions about people and things must be far more than that. There is no scientific basis for such a prediction, so we can only dabble in it. Yuan Tiangang's prediction accuracy is so high that it is also recorded in historical records. In addition to people's limited understanding at that time, I am afraid it is even more inseparable from Wu Zetian and those who support Wu Zetian's intentions. Through Yuan Tiangang's mouth, she found a support point for the queen to inherit her destiny and ascend to the throne according to God's will. Although recorded in the official history, it is not credible.
