What does the fortune teller mean by country people?
Emperor Chongzhen went to measure the words at that time, but everything he said had bad meanings. The final meaning of all the words pointed to the demise of the country. So he was very scared and turned pale with fear. Although according to common sense, the demise of a country should not be decided by fortune tellers, in ancient times, Emperor Chongzhen was so afraid of what fortune tellers said.
At that time, the situation in the Ming dynasty was really not optimistic, which is why Emperor Chongzhen decided to go to a fortune teller to measure words. Although Emperor Chongzhen was very worried about the country's demise, when he went to measure the words, he still hoped that the fortune teller would tell him that his words were all good. But Emperor Chongzhen said three words, and the result measured by these three words is ominous. So Emperor Chongzhen came to the conclusion that maybe the Ming Dynasty really wanted to destroy the country.
Another important reason is that this fortune teller is a psychological counselor in Li Zicheng. Although the counselor didn't know Emperor Chongzhen, he inferred that he must be a royal family by reincarnating with eunuchs. So no matter which word Emperor Chongzhen said, the result he worked out was not a good result.
In fact, if Emperor Chongzhen did not go up, the Ming Dynasty might not perish. Because Emperor Chongzhen calculated his life, he came to the conclusion that the Ming Dynasty was bound to perish. Forced his concubine and children to commit suicide, and finally he committed suicide himself. Li Zicheng naturally breached the city walls and overthrew the Ming Dynasty. The matter of measuring characters in Chongzhen has not been really confirmed in history. It's just that the legend has been handed down, and we don't know what happened at that time.
