Zhou Yafu can come to this day, which is quite legendary.

When he was the county guard of Hanoi, the famous physiognomy master Xu Cheng met him, and then told him in a serious way: You will be crowned a marquis in three years, and you will worship the prime minister after eight years, and die of hunger in another nine years.

Zhou Yafu laughed, not believing it at all, "How is it possible!" My father's marquis will be passed on to my eldest brother, and even if my eldest brother is not there, it will be passed on to my eldest brother's son, and it will not be my turn! ”

He stopped laughing and questioned again: "Besides, if you can really be a supreme minister, how can you starve to death!" ”

Legend has it that Xu Cheng was born with extraordinary talents and can predict people's blessings and misfortunes, so she was named the female pavilion waiter, it seems that this is just the case!

Xu Yingzheng said: "I look at your face, it is indeed shown like this." ”

She pointed to the corner of Zhou Yafu's mouth, and then said: "There is a longitudinal wrinkle on your face, which is called a hunger mark, indicating that you will starve to death." ”

Zhou Yafu smiled and said a few perfunctory words, not taking Xu Ying's prediction seriously.

Three years later, Zhou Yafu's eldest brother, Zhou Shengzhi, made a mistake. Zhou Shengzhi's wife is Liu Heng's daughter, and the couple had a conflict, and the relationship is not very harmonious. Coincidentally, Zhou Shengzhi killed someone for unknown reasons. He was stripped of the title of Marquis of Jiang.

Liu Heng remembered Zhou Bo's merits, and ordered to pick one more of Zhou Bo's sons and canonize him. Zhou Yafu usually has a good reputation, and the ministers all recommend him. Liu Heng named Zhou Yafu as a candidate and succeeded Zhou Bo.

Zhou Yafu was happy, but he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, he remembered Xu Ying's prophecy. The big hand of fate is turning the clouds and rain, can he escape?

Deng Tong, another gentleman with a hungry pattern entrance who Xu had a negative appearance, has not had a good time recently, and he was severely repaired by Prime Minister Shen Tujia.

The reason for the incident is this, Shen Tujia entered the palace to meet the emperor Liu Heng, and Deng Tong stood beside Liu Heng and did not avoid it, which was tantamount to accepting the prime minister's gift in disguise.

Shen Tujia is old and has a big temper, and he can't get used to Deng Tonghu's fake tiger power, he finished talking to Liu Heng, and then said: "Your Majesty favors the minister, you can give him wealth and nobility, but the etiquette in the court can't be so-so." ”

Liu Heng played a round and said, "You don't have the same knowledge as him, I will teach him a lesson in private." ”

The attitude of the emperor and the mud, Shen Tujia was not satisfied. When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he issued a warrant for Deng Tong to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Deng Tong was very scared and looked for Liu Heng to be coquettish, "The prime minister summoned me to the prime minister's mansion, I was afraid." ”

Liu Heng comforted and said, "It's okay, you just go and listen to what the prime minister has to say." ”

Deng Tong refused, telling the emperor: "I dare not go." ”

Liu Heng promised: "If you go, I will immediately send someone to summon you into the palace." ”

Deng Tong relieved his heart and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he carefully took off his hat, took off his shoes, walked up to the hall, and kowtowed to Shen Tujia to plead guilty.

Shen Tujia sat on the couch in a big way, didn't even look at him, and rebuked loudly: "The imperial court, it is the imperial court of Emperor Gaozu!" You Deng Tong is just a small minister, but you dare to casually commit the crime of disrespect on the main hall! Cut according to the law! ”

Deng Tong was so frightened that he kept kowtowing and begging, "The prime minister will spare the minister!" ”

Shen Tujia still didn't say to spare him, and scared: "Come on, drag him out now and kill him!" ”

Deng Tong's soul was scattered, tears and snot flowed out together, and he couldn't say all the words, but he would only bang his head and break his scalp.

At this time, Liu Heng's envoy arrived with the emperor's talisman and brought Liu Heng's message to Shen Tujia, "This is my favorite minister, Prime Minister, you can spare him!" ”

Deng Tong listened to the sound of the immortals, and hurriedly got up and hid behind the messenger.

Shen Tujia got angry and taught Deng Tong a lesson, the emperor's face still had to be taken into account, and he agreed to take Deng Tong away by the envoy.

Deng Tong entered the palace and saw Liu Heng, like a child seeing his mother, he was aggrieved and shed tears, crying and saying: "Cheng almost killed me!" ”
