《太平广记·卷一百三十八·征应四》

The diviner was concealed behind a bamboo curtain. After Wenchang left, the diviner came out and asked Liu Yuxi: "Your excellency wants to inquire about your career in office, but that day is still far off. You must wait ten years hence, when this guest who just left will become chancellor, and then you may be promoted to director of this office."
