The emperor asked: How long can I live? Taoist priest: If the Mid-Autumn Festival is not sunny, we will do the aftermath. Was it verified later?

As we all know, the emperor is the most powerful person in a country. They are all keen on their position and don't want to die, so they care about their lives. Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, was also very concerned about this issue, so he took Zhao Pu out of the palace to find a Taoist who could tell fortune. When I found a Taoist, the Taoist looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said, If the Mid-Autumn Festival doesn't clear up, make preparations for the funeral. This angered Zhao Kuangyin, who tried to kill the Taoist priest, but was stopped by Zhao Pu.

It really didn't clear up on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After Zhao Kuangyin and his party returned to the palace, Zhao Kuangyin was still very angry. What does his life span have to do with the weather? Others didn't take what the Taoist priest said to heart, thinking it was nonsense. But by the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was really bad and dark clouds were gathering. Zhao Kuangyin suddenly remembered what the Taoist priest said, but he felt that his body was still very strong, so he didn't think much of the Taoist priest's words and continued to drink for fun.

Four months later, Zhao Kuangyin died.

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month in 976, it was already winter, and the weather was very cold, so Zhao Kuangyin called his brother into the palace to drink. The two brothers have been drinking and talking about many past events. They were very happy, but after midnight, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly let out a scream, and the news of Zhao Kuangyin's death came out.

The Taoist priest's words came true in this way, so the Taoist priest really has the ability to predict how long people will live.
