In history, there was Jia Shifang during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty.

Yong Zhengdi liked to read Buddhist classics when he was young, and stayed with monks after returning home. Yong Zhengdi also had frequent contacts with monks, and Lou Jianyuan, Jia Shifang, Zhang Taixu and others were also held in the palace. Yong Zhengdi took a fancy to Buddhism and Taoism because he realized the consistency in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism: "The enlightenment of the three religions is also at home, and the theory is the same, and the Tao is parallel but not contradictory."

In the 9th year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 173 1), Tian Wenjing, Governor of Hedong, recommended Jia Shifang, a Taoist of Baiyun Temple, to treat Yongzheng. Because Jia Shifang likes to talk big and do evil, he offended Yongzheng and was beheaded by Yongzheng. However, Yongzheng's illness was always uneasy. Yongzheng thought that Jia Shifang was "evil entangled" and ordered Lou Jinyuan to set up an altar and ritual bucket, which was cured with water before the illness began to heal.

Extended data:

In the spring of the eighth year of Yongzheng (AD 1730), Yongzheng was seriously ill. In order to cure the disease, he ordered hundreds of officials to visit famous doctors and magicians on a large scale. Li Jue, the governor of Zhejiang Province, secretly said that Jia Shifang, a Taoist priest in Henan Province, was rumored to be a fairy and recommended him to go to Beijing to treat the emperor.

Jia Shifang was originally a Taoist in Beijing Baiyun Temple, and later he wandered in Henan. At the beginning of Jia Shifang's entry into the palace, Yongzheng thought the treatment was quite effective, but later he gradually discovered that Jia Shifang used massage, magic and other methods to control his health. How can the son of heaven be pushed around? Yongzheng then ordered Jia Daoshi to be beheaded.

Yongzheng had considerable research and interest in alchemy in his early years. The warlock retained by Yongzheng made an alchemy in Yuanmingyuan and won the favor of the emperor with different prescriptions. Yong Zhengdi had taken Dan medicine many times, and many experts speculated that Yongzheng's sudden death in Yuanmingyuan at the age of 58 (1735) was directly related to taking Dan medicine.
