Chapter 9 Chapter Two Political Pieces

The Dragon King of Jinghe appeared in the ninth chapter. It can be said that the Dragon King of Jinghe was the direct reason why Li Shimin sent Tang monks to learn Buddhist scriptures.If the Jinghe Dragon King hadn't been killed by Wei Zheng in his dream, Li Shimin wouldn't have been haunted by the ghost of the Jinghe Dragon King until he died, and then his soul wandered into the underworld, and when he saw a large group of ghosts who died in his hands, they would all ask him for help. Life.After Li Shimin returned to the sun, the first thing he thought of was to invite eminent monks to hold a water and land meeting to save the souls of the dead. From this, Tang Seng was successfully lured out.

But why did the Dragon King of Jinghe die?And why did they ask for Li Shimin's life? The book explains very clearly that a fisherman on the Jing River boasted to his friend (a woodcutter) that fishing was effortless and not dangerous, as long as he gave an old fortune-teller a goldfish every day, he would help himself It's really cool to figure out where you can catch fish in the Jinghe River! Unexpectedly, these words were heard by a patrolling Yaksha. This is really a terrible news!So the Yasha brother Sa Yazi ran back to report to his boss, who was the Jinghe Dragon King. When the Dragon King of Jinghe heard this, Long Yan was furious. Isn't this old fortune-teller looking for trouble!You tell fortunes like this all day long, so my shrimp soldiers and crab generals have to be scooped up and put in a pot for stewing?In that case, wouldn't I be alone?

So the Dragon King of Jinghe wanted to kill the old fortune-teller in a hurry. It can be seen from this that the Dragon King of Jinghe was really a man with a bad temper and a strong personality, and he did not have the cautious demeanor of the Dragon King of the Four Seas at all. In fact, if it is really like this to kill the old fortune-teller, it's nothing. At most, he will be scolded by God, saying that his influence is not good, and he will be more careful next time.But Jinghe Dragon King especially believed in that Yasha brother, and that Yasha brother suggested to him to see if there was really an old man with good fortune-telling, and if there was, it would not be too late to kill him.

Thus, the tragedy began. The Dragon King of Jinghe became a scholar, so he went to find that old fortune-teller, who was that old fortune-teller?It was Yuan Tiangang's uncle Yuan Shoucheng! If readers are familiar with Tang history, they must know who Yuan Tiangang is. Yuan Tiangang was a deified figure in ancient times. Division plus engineer plus astronomer plus geographer plus meteorologist. Therefore, whether in ancient times or modern times, Yuan Tiangang is an extremely powerful figure, and his uncle Yuan Shoucheng is very likely to be Yuan Tiangang's mentor. Although the Dragon King of Jinghe is a real dragon, it is difficult I can't live with Mr. Yuan.

The two made a bet, and it is written like this in the book-the gentleman asked: "What is the matter here?" Clouds and mist cover the top of the mountain, fog covers the tops of the forest. If you occupy the rain, it must be in the Ming Dynasty." The Dragon King said: "When will it rain tomorrow? How big is the rain?" The gentleman said: "Tomorrow, the clouds will be spread at the hour of the morning, and the thunder will be thundered at noon. When it rains, the rain is not enough, and the total water is three feet three inches and forty-eight points."The Dragon King said with a smile: "This statement cannot be played. If it rains tomorrow, according to the number of hours you have stopped, I will give you fifty taels of lesson money as a thank you. Break up your façade, tear up your signboard, and drive out of Chang'an immediately, and don't confuse people here!" The gentleman replied happily: "This is definitely up to you. Please, please, I will meet you later in the Ming Dynasty."

The Dragon King was overjoyed when he went back, thinking about what a fortune teller, you can really boast, do you know who brother is?Brother is the dragon king who is in charge of the rain in your area! But people are not as good as heaven, and the Dragon King just had less than a cup of tea, and the Jade Emperor sent an angel to issue an order. The order is to let him know when it will rain tomorrow, how much it will rain, and the time and amount of rain will be determined by Mr. Yuan. Exactly! The Dragon King was dumbfounded, and also fainted by fright. It was written like this in the book——Shaoqing woke up and said to all the water tribes: "There is such a spirit in the world! He really can penetrate the heavens and the earth, but he is not inferior to him!" Army division Xun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. What's the difficulty in winning him? I have a small plan to discipline and destroy that guy's mouth." The Dragon King asked the advice, and the military division said: "It's time for the rain, less points, that's it." I'm not sure about the hexagram, and I'm afraid I won't win him? How hard is it to smash the signboard and drive him away?" The Dragon King followed his play, and he was not worried.

This Dragon King is really a mindless master. He listens to his subordinates in everything and has no ideas at all. Can you change the imperial decree casually?That is bullying! Sure enough, when the Dragon King missed the time according to the plan and lost the points, God really punished the Dragon King for the crime of deceiving the king, and sentenced the Dragon King to be cut to death. The Dragon King is crying, begging Mr. Yuan for an idea.Mr. Yuan just said, the person who stabbed you is none other than Wei Zheng in front of Li Shimin, you should go to Lao Li and ask for his life. So the Dragon King asked Li Shimin to save him in a dream. When Li Shimin heard that Wei Zheng was the executioner, his face was bright, and he agreed when he was happy.

Li Shimin got Wei Zheng to play chess in the palace and didn't let him go, thinking that you won't be able to kill anyone now, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to fall asleep while playing chess, and cut the Dragon King of Jinghe in his dream. This is the injustice of the Dragon King, a little soul went straight to Li Shimin to claim his life. Who made you promise in the first place? Ever since, many stories happened later. Li Shimin was entangled to death by the ghost of the Dragon King of Jinghe. This is actually the introduction to the study of Buddhist scriptures in the West.

But what I want to say is that the Dragon King of Jinghe died unjustly. His death was completely controlled by the masterminds behind the scenes. Who is behind the scenes? Don't ask, it's Jade Emperor, Tathagata and other big bosses who take out Hades and others. Why do you say that?And see the breakdown below. As mentioned above, the death of the Dragon King of Jinghe is only the first step of the conspiracy, and the second step of the conspiracy is to let Li Shimin die. It's not easy to kill a dragon king, but it's much easier to kill a human king. The ghost of Jinghe Dragon King scares Li Shimin every day, and it doesn't take long for Li Shimin to die.

In fact, if you taste it carefully, you will know that there is something tricky in it. An emperor was frightened to death by a ghost, which shows that someone is condoning the ghost to commit murder!Who is indulging, do you still need to ask, of course it is the king of Hades. Why him? The reason is very simple, all the ghosts are under his control. If he manages well, it is impossible for the ghost of Jinghe Dragon King to go out to scare people, let alone go out every day to scare people. Therefore, letting Jinghe Dragon King die is to scare his soul to death. Li Shimin. Yan Wang Laozi is also a person involved in the conspiracy.

Li Shimin arrived in the underworld, and the king of Hades and his fathers greeted him very politely, and even sent a former court official, Judge Cui. It is very ingenious that Judge Cui is also a good friend of Wei Zheng, so Wei Zheng wrote a letter for Li Shimin to bring to Judge Cui, asking Cui Judge to change Li Shimin's lifespan. Judge Cui gladly and secretly added another 20 years to Li Shimin's life in the life and death book. So Yan Wang Laozi looked at it and said, oops, I’m sorry, I made a mistake, you still have twenty years to live, go back quickly. So, Li Shimin died again. Isn't this pure nonsense! First of all, how can you, Wei Zheng, be sure that Judge Cui will be able to change it into a book of life and death? Secondly, since Hades killed Li Shimin, why doesn't he know how much life Li Shimin has? Third, why is life and death book so easy to change?Such an important thing should be left to Judge Cui alone? Fourth, since you are going to let Li Shimin go, why do you still let Li Shimin visit so many horrible things, and release the ghosts of Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others to scare Li Shimin? What is your intention?Besides, they have been dead for so many years, why haven't they been reincarnated yet? Finally, why did Li Shimin come to the underworld? According to Judge Cui, he was here to confront the Jinghe Dragon King Sancao. Since the Sancao confronted the case, Yan Wang and Judge Cui did not check the basic information of the client Li Shimin in advance, so that even Li Shimin's longevity was not clear. ?And the result of the case - Taizong said: "I once dreamed that the old dragon asked for help, but I actually allowed him to be fine. I didn't expect him to commit a crime and be punished. I should be executed by Cao Guan Wei Zheng. I announced Wei Zheng in the palace. Chess, I don’t know that he cut it in a dream. This is the man Cao Guan’s magic trick, and the Dragon King committed a crime and deserved to die. Is it my fault?” Hearing this, the ten kings bowed and said: “Before the dragon was born, Nan Dou Xing's death book is destined to be killed at the hands of Cao, and we have known it for a long time. But he is just arguing here that he must come down to the case against the three Caos, and we will send him to Lunzang and reincarnate I have gone. Today I am here again, please forgive me for urging me." After finishing speaking, he ordered the judge in charge of the book of life and death: "Get the book urgently, and see what your majesty's longevity and heavenly salary will be?" Finally, he said: "This time, come here. I have understood the case, please return to the source." They have sent the Jinghe Dragon King back, so what is the case?Just relying on Li Shimin's one-sided words to end the case? The four doubts point to two issues. First, the case against San Cao and the end of life are all fake. The real purpose is nothing else, that is, we have something to do, so you can come here; second, what are you doing here?Just to scare you, you must remember to find an eminent monk to hold a water and land meeting when you go back. In fact, the author has already arranged a lead—Ten Kings of Hades sent Judge Cui and Taiwei Zhu to send Taizong back to life.Taizong came out of Senluo Hall, raised his hand and asked the ten kings: "How are the old and young in my palace?" It's strange, you can see the problem, the tenth Hades knows the lifespan of Li Shimin's sister, but he doesn't know the lifespan of Li Shimin's. Could it be that the tenth Hades is interested in Li Shimin's sister so he pays special attention to it? Finally, there is another very interesting detail-Taizong once again thanked him: "I have nothing to reward in the world of Yang, but melons and fruits." Shi Wang said happily: "I have quite a lot of east melons and watermelons. Pumpkin." Taizong said: "I will send it when I go back, and I will send it." From then on, they bowed to each other and said goodbye. Li Shimin was just being polite, but Yan Wang actually took it seriously, and he even had the cheek to ask for pumpkins. When I saw this, I couldn't help but want to expose these ten generations of Yan Jun who didn't follow the rules. The Ten Kings of Hades are the boss of the underworld and the leader of ghosts and immortals. Although they are not very powerful, they have great power and are in charge of life and death between heaven and earth. Many people say that the King of Hades is ruthless and fearsome, but in fact it is just a misnomer. At the very least, the ten kings of Hades described by Wu Cheng'en are all unselfish bastards, and they are all soft bastards who are not tough. First of all, the kings of Hades cannot control the life and death of people who have attained Taoism and become immortals; What Hades can control may only be the life and death of the most vulnerable group in the entire Three Realms—human beings. The so-called King of Hades let you die on the third watch, how could he keep you until the fifth watch, it was just to frighten ordinary people. Moreover, although there is a balance between life and death, Hades does not follow the rules. This is a very interesting phenomenon, reflected in real life, the underworld is a privileged department, a department that specially grants privileges to the strong and nobles. The 18-story hell in the Underworld has all kinds of torture, and the sufferings of the world are fully displayed here. Wu Chengen wrote the situation here as extremely horrible, which is actually a metaphor. In Mr. Wu's mind, the Eastern and Western factories of the Ming Dynasty were the Underworld, and those factory guards were the Living Hades.These living Hades are even more terrifying than the real Yama. Not only do they hold the life and death of the disadvantaged in the world, they do evil, and they wantonly attack the upright and clean people. It is really hateful. They are a symbol of inequality. Why can some people live forever, while others have to keep their lives in the life and death book? Therefore, Wu Chengen arranged for Monkey King to sweep the underworld. In fact, Wu Chengen has already explained in the previous article, and Patriarch Subhuti also said that as long as Sun Wukong practiced the seventy-two transformations, he would be able to avoid the three disasters and not be limited by life and death.But later, the King of Hades took Monkey King to the Netherworld to claim his life, which made Monkey King furious and wiped out the underworld. What does it mean?This is to say that the King of Hades does not follow the rules. He uses his private power to arrest whoever he wants, arrests those who should not be arrested, and arrests those who cannot be arrested. It's just that they are used to being domineering. The person who shouldn't be arrested is too capable. Wu Cheng'en made such a deliberate arrangement to let Sun Wukong smash this unequal private power organ, remove all nine classes and ten categories, and make all princes, nobles, and common people truly equal.
