The charlatans asserted that Qianlong could live to be 90 years old. They wanted to flatter him, but why were they beheaded in public?

This charlatan is Zhang Jiuxiao. Zhang Jiuxiao’s master Zhitianbao wrote a book called "The Destined Fortunes of the Qing Dynasty", but Zhitianbao told Zhang Jiuxiao that this book was written in When collecting medicine in the mountains, an immortal gave it to him, which recorded the national destiny of the Qing Dynasty. He said that as long as he dedicated this book to the emperor, the emperor would reward him when he was happy. So Zhang Jiuxiao looked for an opportunity to give this book to him. This book is dedicated to the Emperor.

What Zhang Jiuxiao doesn’t know is that this book was actually written randomly by his master Zhitianbao. One detail in the book is that the current Emperor Qianlong can live to be 90 years old. Zhang Jiuxiao He must have wanted this reward, so he wanted to find an opportunity to give this book to the emperor.

When Qianlong visited Jiangnan, Zhang Jiuxiao felt that his opportunity had come, so after changing hands several times, the book came into Qianlong's hands. However, after Qianlong read the book, not only was he not happy, , they directly sent people to arrest Zhang Jiuxiao, and Zhang Jiuxiao's master Zhi Tianbao was also arrested, and both of them were beheaded in public.

As we all know, the Qing Dynasty was a dynasty where literary inquisition was prevalent. Ordinary people were not qualified and could not talk about the court casually. Zhang Jiuxiao and Zhitianbao did not see this, and the matter they discussed was about the emperor. Life span, such behavior is considered disrespectful, so it is impossible to leave alive.

Moreover, the emperor at that time was honored as Long Live. They told Qianlong that Qianlong could live to 90 years old, which meant that his life span was not as long as that of ordinary people. The rule at that time They are all respected as the proud sons of heaven, and they can live forever, so how can their life span be something that ordinary people can just talk about.
