Chapter 57 "Tibetan Head Poetry": A Game of Tang Dynasty Prophet

"Tibetan Head Poetry" comes from the mouth of Li Chunfeng, the greatest prophet of the Tang Dynasty."Zangtou Poetry", which is different from "Tui Bei Tu" but somewhat similar, originated from a series of dialogues between Li Chunfeng and Taizong.In the question and answer, Li Chunfeng showed what will happen in the future with acrostic poems. While giving people unlimited room for imagination, it also avoided the risk of revealing the secret. It was May 19th in the seventh year of Zhenguan. Tang Taizong Li Shimin summoned Li Chunfeng to the palace and asked: "My world is a little bit settled now. You are very clear and easy to understand. I don't know who started to lose my country? And after our dynasty, Who is the one who ascended to the top, and who is the successor? I will tell you what I have said." It means that the world of Tang Dynasty is now stable, and Li Shimin's heart is naturally no longer worried about whether there will be a rebel army or not.But be prepared for danger in times of peace, he wants to know how long his country can last, and who will overthrow Datang's society in the future.Li Shimin couldn't help thinking about his own country, and even more about the throne of future generations.Therefore, he wanted Li Chunfeng to be able to tell himself the future situation so that he could know what was going on.

Li Chunfeng replied: "If you want to know the future, you should look at the past. Those who win the sage will rule, and those who lose the sage will perish. This is the way that is not easy for all ages." However, it is always like a scratch on the boots, and the essence of the problem cannot be touched. Emperor Taizong also reluctantly said, since you know the art of mathematics, you can deduce our dynasty several years in the future, who will perish in the future, and who will destroy the country, there must be a long time ago.Li Shimin made it very clear that what he wants to know is what will happen in the future, not the lessons that can be learned from history.Li Chunfeng replied that this is a secret and cannot be leaked.

Li Shimin said to Li Chunfeng again, if you tell the secret here, there will be no third person except God knows, the earth knows, you know and I know.However, this was still opposed by Li Chunfeng.In desperation, Li Shimin did not force Li Chunfeng to answer his question in the hall, he said: "If you really don't want to say it, then I won't force it. You can follow me." After that, he took Li Chunfeng Came to the cold palace.There is a tall building in the cold palace, and the two climb up the stairs. After reaching the highest level, Li Shimin said: "You can't go up to the sky here, and you can't go down to the ground here. If there are any secrets that cannot be revealed, you can talk about them here."

Li Chunfeng looked at it and knew that he had no excuses anymore. He first said that the person who could disrupt the Tang Dynasty's politics was already by Taizong's side. After 30 years, this person will definitely kill all the descendants surnamed Li, but now the Lord doesn't know that this person is so dangerous.Li Shimin hurriedly asked, whether this person is a civil servant or a general, and whether he knows his name. If he knows, he can be removed now.But Li Chunfeng shook his head and said: "All of this is God's will, not manpower. The person who finally messed up the Tang Dynasty should be over 20 years old. If he is killed today, God will definitely bring disaster to our court." , so as to send other fierce fighters to the world, then the Tang royal family will be even more dangerous."

Taizong said: "Since God's will is so, you can't force it. I don't know if you can describe this person." So Li Chunfeng wrote a hidden poem to describe this person who will overthrow the Tang Dynasty.This poem reads: "As a human being, he never leaves his body, and his eyes are 'long' in the air." Anyone who is familiar with history knows that the Tang Dynasty was overthrown by Empress Wu Zetian, and she was already Taizong's concubine.And "Zhi Ge" is the word "Wu", which is prophesying the event of destroying the Tang Dynasty.

Later, Taizong asked again: "Is there anyone who can put down this rebellion?" So the topic was brought to the matter of Fu Tang. Li Chunfeng said: "There is a Wenqu star in the lower realm, born in a family that sells rot, and later became a prime minister, so he can be pacified." This person refers to Di Renjie.When Wu Zetian was in power, Di Renjie was known for not being afraid of the powerful.Di Renjie was born in a family of officials, and Wu Zetian held an important position as a prime minister during Wu Zetian's reign.It was Di Renjie's hard work that prevented Tang's politics from being completely taken over by the Wu family.In the prosperous age that emerged during Wu Zetian's reign, Di Renjie's contribution cannot be forgotten.

At that time, Tang Taizong asked who this person was.Li Chunfeng still said that the secret should not be revealed.Taizong asked: "After this person puts down the rebellion, can he bring a prosperous world to the people of the world." So far, after Li Shimin has ensured that his family's country and society are safe and sound, he is also worried about whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment.But Li Chunfeng's next answer seemed not so in line with the holy will. He said: "In the first twenty-four years, it was comparable to Yao and Shun, and in the next twenty-four years, there were those who disrupted the world. Dangerous but not dangerous, one person with a big mouth, born when he met Yang, and stopped when he met Guo." This means that after Xuanzong came to the throne, The world can be peaceful for 24 years, and there will be a good situation of Kaiyuan prosperity.But in the next 24 years, the world will be in chaos again, which is the well-known Anshi Rebellion in history.The final pacification of the Anshi Rebellion is absolutely inseparable from a person surnamed Guo, and he is the general Guo Ziyi.

Later, after the question and answer between Taizong and Li Chunfeng, Li Chunfeng counted the final demise of the Tang Dynasty and the changes of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.Moreover, Li Chunfeng also mentioned that after the emergence of modern civilization, there will be a doomsday, and the scene is described as: "Six hundred years after this, it was exported, and the chickens in the mountains began to destroy the country, so the people panicked. Demon kings are born. People have four eyes, cows have no feet, their heads are born on their backs, their tails are born on their mouths, and the world is in chaos. Those with mouths are called demons, those with two mouths are called demons, rats are born as sun, and all demons are exhausted. There are no stars in the sky, and there are no mountains and rivers in the earth. Fortunately, there is a lord who faces the sun. The poor pity him, the rich look up to him, and everyone enjoys happiness. At that time, the two lived together and lived together for two days. The big ones have to pay, and the small ones have to go.”

After this vision appeared, Li Chunfeng also mentioned that the world would not be in chaos because of it.The world from now on will surely be spent in an alternation of chaos and peace.Just like any written history, the general trend of the world, long-term division must be united, and long-term union must be divided. This is a regularity that has been rolled out by the ruts of history, which cannot be changed and cannot be changed.Although everyone looks forward to a beautiful world of great harmony, what is needed to wait for this future is the improvement of everyone's sense of self-harmony.This is definitely not an easy thing to do.

When Li Chunfeng predicted these things for Tang Taizong, in the final analysis he returned to his original answer to Taizong's question. Taking history as a mirror is far more meaningful than guessing the future trend of history.Therefore, in his view, such a long prophecy may be just a game in which there will never be winners and losers. This is the truth of history!
