The fifth time, Shuangwu does not stand together, only sighs lightly
The fifth episode of Journey to the West is to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, everyone is too familiar with it, needless to say. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is to pay attention, at least more than three months, the monkey has nothing to do all day, in fact, many immortals have opinions, happy to play with your monkey in person, and say bad things about you behind your back, there is Xu Jingyang real person. The three heavenly masters in front have appeared, and it is time for this real person to show up, he is obviously also the hardcore of the Jade Emperor, famous for his loyalty and filial piety, so many immortals talk behind his back, this will cause some trouble to the Jade Emperor, unfair employment or something, so Lao Xu is duty-bound, come out and make a start, let the Jade Emperor find an errand for the monkey to do, and it can be regarded as blocking the mouth of the immortals.
(Then in December of the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang appeased the ministers of the old Yuan Dynasty and sent people to the ministers who had not yet attached to the Ming Dynasty to state their interests.) In the same month, Lao Zhu sent people to Goryeo and Annam, informing them that their lord Daming had been established and was chasing the remnants of the Yuan in the north. Well, you can do it. )
I don't want the Jade Emperor to hand over the errand of guarding Pan Taoyuan to the monkeys, this Monkey King is also happy, in fact, it's boring to wander around these days, it's time to find something to enrich it. Why do you let the monkeys who love to eat fruit guard the peach orchard here, no matter what the reason, it has to be written like this, the monkeys are now full of fox friends and dog friends, and it is difficult to cause a fight, so how can you make a big fuss in the heavenly palace in the next step?
So why do you want Sun Monkey to take care of the orchard? At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already sent people to occupy the capital of Yuan. Then, this "Pan Tao Garden" represents the Yuan Dynasty (Dadu), so Pan Tao must represent the original territorial composition of the Yuan Dynasty. In 1368, we thought that the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, and we will start to look at the Ming Dynasty below.
Wukong stole the peach and didn't say it, and heard that the peach club didn't invite him to participate, and he said it in front of the seven fairies, so he immediately fixed them (In 1369, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to march to the northwest and continue to recover the rivers and mountains, and the southern control area of the Northern Yuan gradually annexed to the Ming Dynasty. However, Emperor Yuan Shun rejected Lao Zhu's kindness, and still wanted to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and even planned to recapture the capital). Usually you have a good relationship with the gods in the sky, why can't you think of my grandson when you have a good thing, so I feel unhappy in my heart.
On the way, he met a barefoot immortal, and the great sage deceived the old guy. Daxian scratched his head and said, "(Pan Tao Society) has been performing in Yaochi all year round, how can I go to Tongming Hall to perform first, and then go to Yaochi to attend the meeting?"
After receiving the holy decree, Chen Rixuan, the king of Annam, after some thought, sent people to Nanjing in June 1369 to pay tribute. Annam was first a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty, and now it has become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Barefoot immortals, Chen Rixuan also.
Sun Wukong then went to Yao Chi to eat and drink secretly, and then ran into Tushi Palace and secretly ate the Nine Turns Golden Pill prepared by Taishang Laojun for the Danyuan Conference, but he woke up and caused a big disaster, he knew that this was a terrible sin, so run away and go back to be his own king.
(In April 1369, part of the northwest was pacified; Zhu Yuanzhang returned some Goryeo personnel to China and issued an edict to Wang Yuan, recognizing his status as a vassal king.) At the same time, Goryeo was asked to send more than 160 former "people of Youyan" who were exiled in its land to China. In August, the king of Goryeo sent his ministers to pay tribute to Nanjing, with the Ming as the suzerain. At this time, the old monarch of Taishang, Wang Yuan. )
I went back to Huaguo Mountain and said hello to my subordinates, and shared the blessings, this Monkey King is quite friendly, and he was bold, and he even went to the sky to steal some food and drink, and came back to make a fairy wine party with the monkeys.
The heavens soon knew what was going on, and the immortals who were tricked all pushed the wall, which made the Jade Emperor very annoyed, and sent Li Tianwang Nezha with 100,000 heavenly soldiers to catch the demon monkeys in the lower realm.
(As mentioned earlier, Li Siqi and Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition had already clashed and continued to fight, and Li Siqi surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in 1369.) )
If you don't speculate, you can do it, at the end of the day, Sun Wukong is happy, but the one-horned ghost king and the friendly army have been captured by the gods, and their monkeys are hidden at the bottom of the water curtain cave under the leadership of the dog-headed military division, but it is okay at all. (In 1367 and 1371, Chen Li and Ming Sheng successively returned to the Ming Dynasty.) The one-horned ghost kings mentioned in the last book were Chen Youliang and Ming Yuzhen, and now they have become their sons. The Seventy-two Cave Demon Kings are also small separatist forces, and the Bull Demon Kings are not mentioned for the time being, because Xu Shouhui and Fang Guozhen have all perished or surrendered. )
I don't care about the life or death of the righteous brothers and others, I can see more than the four athletes, continue to drink, sleep in peace, and continue to fight tomorrow. The selfishness and arrogance of this monkey and the spirit of blind optimism are undoubtedly revealed. But is Sun Wukong's attitude very strange? Not strange, most mortals are like this, and no one teaches Sun Wukong to receive benevolence and righteousness education or anything, just telling the so-called cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism, the woodcutter's words are not rough and unreasonable preaching, and I don't want to listen to it, what kind of character are you a woodcutter?
Now is the sixth chapter of Journey to the West, at this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Hui'an Walker also came to participate in the Pan Tao Club, after knowing what was going on, he was also worried about it, so he asked Mu Cha to go down to see and help.
It's a bit strange here, that is, Li Tianwang's eldest son Jin Zha, younger son Nezha, why is the second son not called Muzha but "Mucha"? In fact, as mentioned earlier, Li Siqi's eldest son Li Zongyan (Jin Zha), the youngest son is called Li Shichang (Nezha), and the adopted son is called Zhao Qi (not "Li Zhaoqi"). It seems that this Zhao Qi has fought with Zhu Yuanzhang's army, but the history is unknown, judging from the Journey to the West, he may have defected to Goryeo.
This wooden fork is okay, seeing that his father is very polite, but he is not angry with the title of the great sage, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to fight the monkey. Of course, the fierce ones who are called are generally not very capable, and they are not Sun Wukong's opponents. No one who came could do it, so King Li sent people to heaven to ask for help.
The Jade Emperor couldn't help but be happy when he heard it, oh, it's all rice buckets, and he can't even catch a monkey. Guanyin was unhappy, Nezha is more than half of the Buddhist family, and the wooden fork is now an authentic Shamen, so he grabbed the conversation and recommended your nephew to make you laugh again. But I muttered in my heart, Erlang God will definitely not be able to win, it is time for our older generation to make a move.
This Erlang God didn't want to be bored in the mouth of the Guanjiang River, as soon as he heard the will, he was immediately tempted, and took the six brothers of Meishan to Huaguo Mountain. Pay attention, this little Sage Zhenjun is really smart and cautious, even people are too proud now. As a result, he was fooled by the Jade Emperor and others, and it was not until he met Sun Wukong again that he changed a lot of problems, and he and his brothers, plus the monkey and Zhu Bajie, also drank a meal of debored wine.
There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and this time the four strong generals of Ma Liubangba are also in a rut, and they ran away by themselves, and their subordinates gave up and arrested two or three thousand.
This Erlang God fought with Sun Wukong, it was really a chess opponent, a good talent, and almost all kinds of skills were played. But we must pay attention to the fact that the seventy-two changes of the two are quite set, and no one can see through them with their eyes, they all analyze them with their heads, and they even guess each other. Sun Wukong's stealth method and somersault cloud were more powerful, so he ran away later, and Erlang God had to go to the sky to look around.
Li Tianwang was self-righteous and still holding a demon mirror to touch it blindly, and when he heard it, he looked around to find the monkeys, and only then did he know that he went to the mouth of the Guanjiang River, and he was happy, and he went to the old nest of Erlang God. What we are told here is that the changes in the monkey cannot be seen in the demon mirror, and can only be discovered when Sun Wukong has not changed. In fact, Lao Wu is saying that in 1366, Zhu Yuanzhang sent an army to attack Pingjiang City (that is, Longping, now Suzhou).
Erlang God catches up and continues to fight, the heavenly Guanyin (at this moment refers to the Goryeo monks who later returned to the secular minister Xin Min, "Xin" has the radical of the word "Li", "Min" has the word "day" next to it, the person who stands on the day, the sound is also) looks strong, how about it, although your Erlang God is the most powerful in the Taoist Buddha juniors, but he can't hold the monkey, and the old lady has to help in person.
As soon as Taishang Laojun heard it, he stopped doing it, this is the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, why are you a fanni shouting here, anti-guest-oriented?
Sun Wukong can still continue to run, but this monkey is estimated to be naturally afraid of dogs, no way, let the roaring dog bite his leg and stomach, fell to the ground and couldn't get up, he could only scold the thin dog, so let Erlang God they were caught, as the saying goes, Hades is so difficult to mess with little ghosts. Although Erlang God is proud, in front of outsiders, he is very proud of his uncle's face, which shows that he still has the idea of ascension to Heavenly Court.
The fine dog, Zhang Shicheng's general Lu Zhenye. It seems that Mr. Wu Chengen is turning history forward, secretly writing a biography for Zhang Shicheng, and praising his heroic deeds. This is understandable, Zhang Shicheng's development of the economy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the resistance to the Yuan Dynasty, especially the killing of Chakhan Timur by his subordinates, is very important to Zhu Yuanzhang's "help" from any point of view. However, Lao Wu also criticized him, that is, mentioning that he was the nephew of the Jade Emperor. Because Zhang Shicheng did reduce the Yuan and oppose the Yuan five times, although he kept announcing the tune, he also fought with the Red Turban Army and Zhu Yuanzhang under the instruction of the Yuan Court, and Liu Futong died at the hands of his fine dog-Lu Zhen. Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others, in the early days of the war with Zhang Shicheng, also had wins and losses.
What does it mean that Taishang Laojun hit Sun Wukong with a diamond bracelet, and why is it under the joint efforts of Erlang God, and what is the relationship between him and Guanyin? It turns out that although Taishang Laojun at this time is still Wang Yuan himself, his name at this time is Wang Qi, and he was renamed Wang Yuan around 1366. This Wang Qi, who first married the Mongols, gained support, and was appointed king of Goryeo by the Yuan dynasty in 1352. Within two years, because Zhang Shicheng (Erlang God) captured Gaoyou, the Yuan Dynasty was furious and asked Wang Qi to send some soldiers and horses to fight together. So Goryeo sent more than 2,000 people to the Central Plains, and in 1355 because of the internal strife of the Yuan Dynasty, these people died and fled, but some people stayed (until the aforementioned 1369, when Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to return to Goryeo).
Wang Qi realized that the general trend of the Yuan Dynasty was gone, so he began to purge the pro-Yuan forces in the country, and in 1356 restored the old system of Goryeo, recovering the territory before the Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Yuan Shun sent someone to reproach, Wang Qi dealt with it perfunctorily, just riding the wall, and no one on either side really did it anymore, and they couldn't take care of it.
In 1359, Han Lin'er sent a message to Goryeo, asking him to submit to the Song Dynasty. However, Wang Qi didn't dare to turn his face with the Yuan Dynasty, so he didn't pay attention to Han Lin'er. In 1360, King Xiao Ming sent Mao Jujing to attack Goryeo, which once occupied Pyongyang, and in 1361, 200,000 soldiers of the Red Turban Army continued to attack Goryeo and conquered its capital. In 1362, Goryeo counterattacked and expelled the Red Turban Army from the country. In 1363, Emperor Yuan Shun issued a holy decree to abolish Wang Qi, and Goryeo rebelled and defeated the Yuan army (only more than 10,000 people, and it was really impossible to get more troops). The Yuan Dynasty was unable to do so, so it continued to recognize Wang Qi's status as king.
In 1365, Wang Qi appointed Xin Min as an assistant to the government and began to change. This Xin Min (Guanyin Bodhisattva in the book at this time) was actually a monk first, talented but also imperious. Xin Min entered Buddhism when he was a child, and his name was all over the place, and in 1364 he began to secretly help Wang Qi, known as a quiet layman. In 1365, he returned to the world, and in 1366, he was in power, launched an agrarian reform, and won the title of "saint" given by the people (in the same year, Wang Qi changed his name and called Wang Yuan). Later, because he was too nostalgic for the power of dogs and horses, gold and silver, he gradually fought against the king, and was killed by Wang Yuan in 1371 under the increasing dissatisfaction.
Later, due to some harem affairs, Wang Yuan planned to kill the people involved, which caused a conflict with his subordinates, and Cui Wansheng and others killed Wang Yuan while he was drunk.
Then, in 1369, Wang Yuan and Xin Min (who had already cracked at this time) saw that Mongolia had sunset, so they agreed to Zhu Yuanzhang's appeasement on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also waved their troops north to expand their territory and compete for the land of the Northern Yuan. Perhaps, this is the origin of Laojun and Guanyin in the book to suppress Sun Wukong.
Let's not mention Sun Wukong first, and then talk nonsense about Erlang God and Nezha, father and son, and the Dragon King.
Why do you mention these, you should have noticed that they appear in the two books of Romance of the Gods and Journey to the West.
What is the attitude of the Romance of the Gods, Erlang God is okay, Nezha has a bit of personality but is also very good, Li Tianwang is a little pedantic but can change his mistakes, and the Dragon King is a few bad guys.
Journey to the West, Erlang God is smart and proud, but he can improve; Nezha recognizes Buddha as his father, and takes good care of those who believe in Buddhism, while others fight hard, especially the Bull Demon King is very unpleasant; Li Tianwang is timid and incompetent but very face-saving, but he is dead set on the Jade Emperor, and he is respectful to Buddha on the surface, and his heart is quite big; as for the Dragon King, at both ends of the head, he listens to everyone's words, and no one can offend his subordinates, and he is not very bold, and when he is not sure, he is a monster and does not easily provoke him.
This Erlang God is recognized by everyone as the number one among the juniors, and the authors of the two books are also recognized. Why is the attitude towards Nezha's father and son and the dragon king different?
Caesar also said nonsense earlier, this Romance of the Gods was written around 1560, it was a book in the Jiajing period, the author is unknown, Xu Zhonglin should not be the original author of the book. The book admires Taoism, shrinking the teachings into Western teachings, and also tossing and supplementing the unpleasant Taoist elements to the Western religion, and by the way, some of the great immortals who expound the teachings have been placed in the Western religion, which is obviously aimed at Zen Buddhism that has been sinicized, not the original Indian Buddhism. So it doesn't matter who wrote this book, it is obviously a Taoist figure who made it for the mastermind, the purpose is to advocate the so-called orthodoxy in Taoism to help the Taoist monarch, and it is for everyone, especially the emperor, to read, so it must have been written around 1560. But there are also many questions, and from the analysis of the content of the book, it may be very likely that the book was revised by someone later, so that it can continue to be circulated. Then Mr. Xu Zhonglin may be this proofreader.
Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty reigned from 1521 to 1566 and believed in the Tao. At that time, first of all, Shao Yuanjie had a great influence, a regular monk and a Taoist, and the emperor ordered him to lead Taoism. But the immortal died early, in 1539, Tao Zhongwen immediately took over, retired due to illness in 1557, and died in 1560. Both of them have made ceremonial books, and there are many other false titles, and the disciples and descendants have also been stained a lot.
These two people are still friends, and Tao Zhongwen, who Shao Yuanjie recommended before his death, succeeded them. These two people are okay, they don't interfere much in the government, especially Tao Zhongwen also leads Taoist affairs, but they are even more cautious, and the fate after death is much stronger than Shao Yuanjie, in fact, a very important reason is that Lao Tao has a wife and children, and he is a Taoist.
In 1566, Emperor Longqing came to power, this emperor was a little uninterested in Taoism, and soon approved Shao Yuanjie, and even banned the books he wrote, and his attitude towards Tao Zhongwen was okay, and he basically ignored him. The blow to the Taoist priests and monks was very great, and they were basically thrown out of the imperial court, and they were even less concerned about Taoism. Who would dare to vigorously advocate Taoism at this time?
Longqing reigned from 1566 to 1572, which was not long, and he basically did not go to the court, and he rarely came to speak. Every day, the cat doesn't know how to ponder in the palace, so he doesn't have many deeds, but they are all very important, very critical, and have a great impact, which is slightly similar to Huang Lao's inaction. The opening of the sea ban and the reform and development of the economy, the abandonment of Taoism and the reuse of Confucianism, the rehabilitation of the great etiquette, and the appointment of Qi Jiguang and others to eliminate the sea disaster, laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of the early Wanli period. But at the same time, Buddhism began to fight back, and wanted to take the opportunity to fight for and expand the territory. Not surprisingly, the successor emperor Wanli learned the lessons of his father and grandfather and slowly turned to Buddha.
Why did Emperor Longqing crack down on Taoist figures? It has a lot to do with his father's faithfulness, and it is possible that Longqing thought that Jiajing was caused by eating mercury sulfide or something, and in addition, his father had quite an opinion about himself, and he did not like himself very much, so he had been a "prince" for many years.
Therefore, Caesar concluded that this divine romance must have been written around 1560, before and after Tao Zhongwen's death, he wrote it to praise virtues, promote Taoism, and crack down on dissidents The same is true for different factions in Taoism, but he doesn't know how to teach, only to explain Jiang Ziya, because Lao Tao is not a monk. The book suppresses Buddhism and Confucianism, but it also has to advocate the common development of the three religions. However, these three teachings refer to interpretation, that is, Zhengyi, Buddhism, and the Quanzhen Dao, and there is no Confucian part at all.
In fact, it is easy to understand that the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are actually not the original Han Dynasty, they have all absorbed some of the so-called essence of the other two, and also excluded some of their own so-called dross. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, Buddhism in China was mainly Zen Buddhism, which was very different from Indian Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, and Tang Dynasty Buddhism. Even in the Qing Dynasty, although Tantra was prominent for a while, it also retreated to the old place with history, and had to be located in Zen Buddhism.
But the author of the Romance of the Gods obviously looks down on Confucianism, and writes about the late Shang and early Zhou periods around 1045 BC, when your old Kong was far from being born, and this humane thing is the responsibility of Taoists, hehe. However, how many years was Lao Tzu born before Lao Kong? All kinds of legends are counted together, and it is said that it will take 300 years at most, and at that time when the Shang Dynasty is destroyed, Lao Tzu will have to be born at least another 200 years, so there is no part of Lao Tzu. So how can Confucian people have a good evaluation of the Romance of the Gods, no matter how well it is written, they will not admit it, it is estimated that if you select the top 100 strange books or something, it will not be your turn to enter the list of the Romance of the Gods, not to mention that the depth of writing is actually average, it is still quite good to be a simple god and demon novel, and it can be circulated among the people. Of course, the Buddhists hate this book even more, and are obviously very dissatisfied with the book's performance of "Western teachings".
Then the old man Wu Chengen, Caesar judged that around 1566, he began to prepare to write Journey to the West, and even at this time, he wrote some beginnings. The second chapter of the book mentions the double cultivation of life, becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha, but this concept and its later achievements Jindan and so on, should be Lao Wu's reference to the "Jindan on the Chapter" that came out in 1564 , and the appearance of the hand-copied version or commercial version of the Romance of the Gods, Emperor Jiajing made himself sad again and again, and the later Emperor Longqing did not go to court, Buddhism fought back again, Lin Lin in the officialdom, the general manager of the society, all of this seriously stimulated Lao Wu, so he wrote angrily, and Journey to the West was also written more obscurely, ruthlessly, funny, confused, and weeping, it was a silent cry, it was the teachings of Confucianism, it was a textbook, and it was a warning to the emperor. Anyway, why did this book that seemed to be a myth of eliminating demons attract Li Yu's attention to enter the Four Great Wonder Books, and later it could also be proud of the Four Great Masterpieces? Is it a vernacular of gods and demons? Is it a romantic struggle? Is it full of contradictions? Is it like a fart?
Everyone watches Journey to the West, to be honest, if you don't watch it three or five times, you don't know what to say, everyone has different feelings after watching it, and after the same person watches it many times, the feelings will become more and more different. After all, Lao Wu experienced the vicissitudes of life at that time, and the knowledge of various sects, medicine, metaphysics, miscellaneous dialects, etc., was extremely rich, and even the officialdom and emperors knew a lot, if this Journey to the West was written in the Jiajing period, it would be called hell, at that time, Buddhism was still hovering at a low point, and the circulation range of "Jindan is the main chapter" was still very narrow. Moreover, the book Journey to the West will not be completed within ten years from conception to finalization, and it is estimated that it will take more than ten years, among which it will take several years to study just by referring to the various theories of Taoism and Buddhism. And there must be an old friend who has been a big official in the imperial court to provide information, and Lao Wu Cai has only been an unpopular official like Bi Ma Wen for a few years.
Caesar said more here, in 1557, when Tao Zhongwen retired, it was quite good, and he returned all kinds of big rewards to the imperial court for more than 20 years, and at that time, a receiving official weighed about 13,500 pounds in total, and this guy couldn't resist it. So let's take a look in Journey to the West, and see what things can be close to this.
By the way, the next son "Jin Dan is the main chapter", the author Lu Xixing 1520-1606, one of the founders of the Taoist Neidan faction, the previous Taoist Neidan faction was also divided into several small factions, some advocated life before sex, some advocated sex before life, and came to Lao Lu here to cherish his life together. This book was written at the end of 1564, and when everyone knew, it is estimated that Emperor Jiajing had returned to the West, the old Lu was born at the wrong time, his own set of Taoist exercises, one did not meet the taste of Jiajing, the second became famous late, and caught up with the unbelieving emperor who reigned in Longqing in 1566-1572, Lu Xixing had to keep pace with the times, changed his thinking, and later also participated in Zen and studied Buddhism, but he did not forget his line, and advocated the idea of Taoism and Buddha, and what is there, but it has a great influence on Emperor Wanli。
In the Song Dynasty or before, the Neidan sect of Taoism described it like this, and after the completion of the work, you can become a Taoist and immortal. But when it came to the Yuan and Ming dynasties, they became Buddhas and immortals. This has a lot to do with the two major exterminations of the Yuan Dynasty, Meng Ge in 1256 and Kublai Khan in 1281 almost burned the so-called classics of Taoism, Lao Tzu's Taoist classic "Tao Te Ching" did not dare to ban it, hehe, look at what Lao Tzu said is the most mysterious, the most difficult to understand, but people with a little brain, except for some Confucianism, no one dares to mess with Lao Tzu.
But Caesar said more, if you want to say that Lu Xixing wrote this Journey to the West, although I want to laugh, it's not too surprising, but if you want to say that he is the author of the Romance of the Gods, you resolutely disagree, because Lao Lu is from the Jindan faction, and the contradiction with the Fu faction is quite big.
Finally, let's talk about the Pan Tao Club and the Danyuan Club, the Pan Tao Club is familiar to everyone, so let's not talk about it first. Taishang Laojun once said that he specially refined some nine-turn golden pills and waited for the Jade Emperor to make the Danyuan Conference.
We know that the Queen Mother's Pan Tao Club and the Jade Emperor's Dan Yuan Conference are held at the same time and place, and once a year, the group of immortals and Buddhas (almost all of whom have a good fortune participate) rub together, and the finale is Pan Tao and Jin Dan. In the past, it referred to the Kuritai Assembly of the Mongol tribes and the imperial succession of the Yuan Dynasty.
Continue to read the book, the peach will be stirred up by the monkeys, and this Danyuan conference will naturally not be held. Later, the Buddha suppressed Sun Wukong at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, and the heavenly court held the "Antiy Conference", which is still the name given by the Lailai, in fact, it is still the follow-up Pan Tao Hui (Danyuan Conference).
In 1368, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he continued to use troops against the Northern Yuan. In 1370, Emperor Yuan Shun died, and his son died in April 1378 with the temple name "Zhaozong". He was not a descendant of Kublai Khan, but a descendant of Kublai Khan's younger brother Ali Buge. Therefore, he was the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and due to different political views, he refused to give Timur the title of Tugusi, and no longer followed the traditional Han chronology, only recognized the "Great Mongolia", and died in 1392. (After the killing of Timur, the Mongol tribes began to "turn away from Germany" and grow their power in an attempt to free themselves from the influence of the Golden Family.) After Erebak succeeded to the throne, he was killed in 1399 by the leader of the Qiergis tribe, Ghost Rich. Although he had nominally ruled the Mongol tribes, he first appointed his son Timur as the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and two years later, in 1402, feeling that he was full-fledged, he killed Timur and established himself as the Great Khan of the Mongols. At this point, the Ming Dynasty believed that the (Northern) Yuan had really perished, and it still used the Han Dynasty to call Mongolia, that is, Tatar. Coincidentally, in 1402, Zhu Di defeated Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen was nowhere to be found, and Ming Taizong (Chengzu) ascended the throne, that is, Emperor Yongle.
In 1389, the Ming Dynasty achieved basic unification, and the Northern Yuan were forced to continue to move westward. To a large extent, it promoted the "ambition" of the Mongolian tribes, paved the way for the complete destruction of the "Northern Yuan", and sharply weakened the threat to the Ming Dynasty; and in 1402, "the Northern Yuan perished" and "Zhu Di ascended the throne", Lao Wu believed that this was the real "Antiy"!
But at the banquet, Rulai also received a lot of good things, such as the queen mother's peach, the birthday star's purple zhi yao grass and green lotus golden pill, and the barefoot immortal's pear jujube. If they have all thanked them, they will call Ah Ta and Ka Ye, and put away all the things they have offered.
At this time, it is very inward, first of all, in the fifth, sixth, and seventh chapters of the Journey to the West, the appearance of the Queen Mother is also "over", and it has not appeared positively since then (only the "Queen Mother" has been mentioned in the mouth of others), and the Jade Emperor still sings the protagonist of Heaven. Upon comprehensive judgment, it is clear that this "Queen Mother" is also the Queen Mother of the West! Together with the Jade Emperor in the first four chapters of Journey to the West, it refers to the Mongolian rulers of the Yuan and Northern Yuan dynasties; the fifth to seventh chapters of the book is a transition, which is the period of coexistence between the Ming Dynasty and the "Yuan" Dynasty; after the "Queen Mother" retreated into the background, the Jade Emperor completely "became" the monarch of the Ming Dynasty. Then the "Pan Tao Society" must be the Mongol tribal affairs conference - the "Kuritai Conference", and the "Danyuan Conference" is the hereditary system of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty (including the Northern Yuan). Since the seventh chapter of Journey to the West, there has been no more "Pan Tao Meeting" and "Danyuan Conference", that is, because the Ming Dynasty has been unified and the "Mandate of Heaven" of the Mongols has ended. The "Antiy Conference" replaced it, and since then it has been quietly changed to the "Longhua Conference" in the book. "Longhua", the dragon of China, the true son of China.
What is "Dan"? It must be clear to everyone at a glance that it is the so-called imperial orthodox inheritance in China's feudal period, which specifically refers to the Ming Dynasty at this time. Then Mr. Wu Chengen definitely didn't dare to write that the next should be the "Danming Conference", wouldn't this be revealing, so he replaced it with "Longhua Conference".
Pan Tao, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's Northern Expedition to Mongolia, occupied part of the area north of the Great Wall at that time, Zizhi Yaocao, Bi Lotus Jindan, Goryeo, Uliangha and Jurchen are also located, Jiaoli Jiao, Jiaolu, Zhancheng also, Huojujube, Hetao and Hami.
It turns out that this was also a celebration banquet in the Ming Dynasty, and to some extent it can also be called a "Huaigui" meeting. That is, after the banquet is over, the officials who attend can also let their entourage (at most, not more, if they also happened to bring two disciples) pack some leftover food and take it home for their families (mainly in the name of their parents).
If you don't say that Lao Wu is bad enough, the description is very ordinary, but the inside is damaged. Fortunately, Rulai still knows this rule, and leaves quickly after receiving the gift. Otherwise, if you continue to stay and chat and eat and drink, you will be sued by the picket Lingguan (the superintendent of the Ming Dynasty), so that you really "can't eat and walk around".
Then in the book, the transition to Daming is now becoming. Zhu Yuanzhang also often held banquets, and the monarchs and ministers enjoyed music, singing and dancing, and also played games, and ate and drank by the way. There are four kinds of big banquets, which are mentioned in the records of Ming Taizu, "Every year's holy day, New Year's Day, winter solstice, and suburban celebration feast are all book festival feasts." That is, Halloween Day, New Year's Day, Winter Solstice and Celebration Feast.
Wanshou Sage Festival is the emperor's birthday, New Year's Day and the winter solstice are not explained, the celebration of the largest scale, refers to the annual sacrifice in the suburbs of the capital after the heaven and earth, the next night in the Fengxian Hall held a large banquet. At the celebration banquet, not only the ministers were invited, but also the monks and Taoists.
Sacrificial heaven and earth, in the early Ming Dynasty was separated, on the day of the summer solstice in the northern suburbs of the sacrificial ground, on the day of the winter solstice in the southern suburbs of the sacrificial heaven (that is, the main sacrifice to Haotian God, that is, the Jade Emperor). Later, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was too troublesome and a waste of money, and in 1377, he merged the sacrificial heaven and earth, generally changing it to a certain day in the first month of each year. But in February of the ninth year of Jiajing, Zhu Houxi was separated again, and for this reason, there were also controversies between Xia Yan (supporters), Zhang Xuan (opposition) and others, and even Huo Tao, who was strongly opposed, was sent to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate (he was released after two months of detention and paid some fines).
Then the "Antiy Conference" now held by Journey to the West is to merge the sacrificial heaven and earth to hold a celebration banquet ten years after reflecting Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu.
There is too much nonsense, if you want to know that Monkey King was arrested and taken to the heavenly court to the demon slaying platform, what kind of criminal constitution the hero suffered, please listen to the nonsense next time.
