The fortune teller said to Yang Hu: Your ancestral tomb looks like an emperor, why did he dig up the ancestral tomb?

In Chinese feudal society, Feng Shui was very important, especially ancestral graves. If you say you have a deep hatred for someone, it will usually be described as digging up someone's ancestral grave. This is because China's feudal society believes that a family's luck is directly related to the family's ancestral graves. Therefore, if some people live a good life, everyone will generally think that their ancestral tombs have good feng shui and bring good luck to their descendants.

However, there was such a person in ancient China. He dug up his ancestral grave because of other people's good advice. What happened? This person is the famous general Yang Hu of the Jin Dynasty. I first learned about his deeds from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". When he was guarding Xiangyang, he convinced people with his virtue. What he did not only won the hearts and minds of the people of the Jin Dynasty, but also the trust of the people of Soochow. Lu Kang, who was fighting against him, was also sincerely convinced by Yang Hu, saying that according to Yang Hu's approach, he would win over me without a fight. Therefore, the two sides maintained peace and did not fight against each other.

After Yang Hu's long-term efforts, the time to conquer Wu gradually matured. Yang Hu asked Sima Yan to attack Wu, but he was blocked by the powerful ministers and could not implement it. Therefore, Yang Hu left a famous saying, "There are nine out of ten people who are unhappy in the world." By the time Yang Hu died of illness, the Jin Dynasty had not been able to conquer Wu. When Yang Hu died, the people of Jin Dynasty and Soochow shed tears for him, and a monument called the "Tears of Tears" was left in Xiangyang.

But it was such a person who, when he was young, did something shocking and dug up his own ancestral grave. This is because a Feng Shui fortune teller said after looking at his family's ancestral tomb that your family's ancestral tomb has an imperial aura, but it cannot be dug open. If the Feng Shui is destroyed, it will be ruined. After Yang Hu heard this, he dug up the ancestral grave. Yang Hu digs his ancestral graves just to express a message, that is, he has no intention of becoming an emperor at all, and he doesn't care even if he is the last queen.

We can imagine that this fortune teller was very imprudent in saying this to Yang Hu. If a family's ancestral tomb has an imperial aura, it means that the family will have an emperor. It would be easy to say that in the war-torn times, there were heroes everywhere, competing for one side based on their abilities. But at that time, the world had initially stabilized, and only the Jin Dynasty and Soochow were left. If Yang Hu wanted to become emperor, what methods could he use? In addition to Cao Pi and Sima Yi's method, are there any other methods?

And such a confidential matter requires many years of preparation and arrangement to be successful. If you are not careful, it will bring disaster to your family. The fortune teller casually told the story. Once the news leaked out, the demise of the Yanghu family was imminent. Therefore, for the safety of his family, Yang Hu made a prompt decision and dug up his ancestral grave to show his loyalty to the court and the emperor. This was equivalent to protecting himself and his family from annihilation.

However, the fortune teller was still unwilling to give in. He said to Yang Hu, although you dig up the ancestral graves, there will still be three men in your family who break their arms. Later, as expected, Yang Hu broke his arm and became the third Duke without any descendants. This story is a bit mysterious, but from this story, we can see Yang Hu's decisiveness and foresight.
