Chapter 11: This Physiognomy Technique
Yuan Hui and Yuan Zhongche came to Jingshi from Yincheng and went straight to Da Nei, and the Yongle Emperor was very happy to see them, and gave them crown clothes, saddle horses, Wenqi, treasure money, and even the mansion of Jingshi, all of which were selected for them.
Yuan Hui didn't want to be an official, so the emperor made him a Taichang Temple, and the two talked about the first time they met that year, and the emperor couldn't help laughing: "It seems like yesterday! At that time, as soon as you saw me, you knew that I would be the Son of Heaven in the future, but I actually didn't believe it in my heart, because your physiognomy was too terrifying!"
At that time, the emperor who was still the king of Yan, and nine guards who looked very similar to himself wandered around Beiping City, Yuan Heng recognized the real Yan King at a glance, and the emperor still feels amazing when he thinks about it: "Among these nine guards, there is one named Wang Wei, who is almost exactly the same as my face, not my relatives, and can hardly be distinguished." If your physiognomy is true, then wouldn't his physiognomy also be the emperor?"
Yuan Hui stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Maybe the facial features are similar, but the look, complexion and even the color of the bones, the decision is different, I am a person who is a person with a small fortune, Your Majesty's Fuxi bones run through the center, the sun is inserted into the sky, and the dragon walks and the tiger walks; β
Emperor Yongle exclaimed again, because he was not wrong at all. And listened to Yuan Heng said: "Your Majesty, when Emperor Taizu Gao ascended to the throne, he searched for people in the world who were the same as his own characters, and wanted to kill him. Sure enough, he found a beekeeper, Emperor Gao was puzzled, why the same eight characters, he became the emperor, but the two of them were ordinary people, and later summoned this person and learned that this person had raised thirteen cages of bees. β
Emperor Gao suddenly realized: "I have thirteen provinces, and you have thirteen cages of bees. "This beekeeper is actually the king of the thirteen cages of bees, just as he is the emperor of the thirteen provinces.
Emperor Yongle also knew about this, and immediately understood, and was even more impressed by Yuan Hui's physiognomy. He withdrew everyone before he said to Yuan Heng: "I have three sons, I didn't expect to be the son of heaven at the beginning, so I didn't let you meet them." Since you can match me, you can match them. β
Yuan Hui immediately excused himself and said: "Your Majesty, you can't hastily determine the prince because of the minister's words, otherwise the minister will offend the world!"
Yuan Hui resolutely refused to meet several princes, and said: "Physiognomy, physiognomy, this so-called 'technique' is also, not 'law', not 'Tao', the minister's physiognomy is a small skill of carving insects that does not enter the stream, and it must not be the law of the world. It's just because although the fame is written on the face, you can't see the virtuous and foolish. β
Yuan Heng said very earnestly: "And the number of people's lives, although it is determined by heaven, is ultimately man-made." A virtuous person can eventually be blessed, and his life can also be changed because of this. A person's face today will be different from yesterday, and the person you see today will not be the person who will be decades later, please think deeply. β
Emperor Yongle finally nodded and said, "That's it, I won't embarrass you." It's just that you can be different from several princes, but I have a royal grandson, who is very beloved. I want you to meet him for him, not to say what his future is, but to briefly say whether his future life will be smooth and peacefulβthis is also the heart of all the old people in the world, and you must not refuse me. β
Yuan Jue thanked him immediately, was introduced into the inner room by the eunuch, and saw Brother Chun'er who was sleeping soundly.
Yuan Hui leaned down and looked at him carefully. The emperor looked at him from the side, because Yuan Heng's eyes had already appeared insightful.
"How?" asked the Emperor impatiently.
"Zhennai-" Yuan Hui congratulated: "A person who respects and enjoys peace!"
The emperor was overjoyed.
Yuan Hui came out of the main hall and returned to his residence with his long-awaited son Yuan Zhongche. Because Yuan Hui did not allow Yuan Zhongche to be with him, saying that a person could not ask two scholars to look at each other at the same time, Yuan Zhongche did not see the face of the emperor's eldest grandson.
"Father," Yuan Zhongche itched, "How is the face of the emperor's eldest grandson?"
Yuan Hui said slowly: "Long live the Son of Heaven." β
Yuan Zhongche had already guessed: "You have made it clear to the emperor, is the emperor going to make the crown prince?"
"How could I say it directly," Yuan Jue smiled: "The emperor originally asked me to meet the eldest son and the second son of the emperor, but I worked hard to push it off." β
"The emperor is hesitant to establish a prince," Yuan Zhongche said: "The mandate of heaven is also doomed." Although the life of the emperor's eldest grandson is precious, he can't match that one, and that is really the unique face in the world-"
"You're right," Yuan Jue said: "This emperor's eldest grandson, if compared with that one, Shou Yuan can't be called tall and thick, and with peach blossoms in his eyes, he is really an amorous person." β
Yuan Heng thought for a while, and then said: "In his face, the moon horn has fallen. β
"Of course," Yuan Zhongche said: "Looking at the portraits of ancient kings, Emperor Hui Liu Ying and Zhongzong Li Xian are all people who have fallen from the moon horn. β
"I'm going," Yuan Jue said, "I also met the queen's mother." She-alas, the disease has been seen in the stagecoach, and when she goes deep into Lantai, she will really be powerless. β
The two of them sighed, and Yuan Zhongche suddenly said: "Father, when my son was waiting at the gate of Fengtian Palace, I saw the newly appointed cabinet attendant. β
Yuan Hui hadn't seen these people yet, so he casually asked, "How are these people?"
Yuan Zhongche became excited and said: "Seven people passed by at the same time, I saw that among these seven people, five of them will all be official residences in the future!"
Yuan Hui said unexpectedly: "Now there is no prime minister, only six books, can these six-grade servants be able to do books?"
"Shangshu is probably not as noble as them," Yuan Zhongche muttered: "I saw Shangshu Jianyi and Yu Xin, and the faces of three of them are almost the same, so it can be seen that among these five people, there are three people who will be able to be the official Shangshu." There are two more, who are honored earlier than these three people, isn't it that in the future, the emperor will restore the system of prime minister?"
Yuan Jue was very interested and said, "What are the names of these two people, I will also take a special look at them one day." β
"I specifically asked, all of them are surnamed Yang," Yuan Zhongche said: "The older one is called Yang Yu, and the younger one is called Yang Rong." β
Yuan Jue wrote it down, and said, "You said five people, and there are two people, what kind of physiognomy is it?"
"There was a man named Xie Jin," Yuan Zhongche recalled, "He was really a figure like King Luo Bin, young and talented. It's just a grain entrance, it can't end in the name of the order, and the law should be punished to death, which is a pity. There is also a man named Hu Yan, who is a humble gentleman, and he can't be a big official, but his reputation will be the highest, and he will definitely be all over the world in the future. β
Yuan Heng laughed: "I am a little envious of him! He can teach what he has learned to so many people in the world; I have almost all the people in the world in this physiognomy study, if you don't give birth, I'm afraid there will really be no one to pass on!"
