When it comes to the daughter country of "Journey to the West", many male compatriots will show their fascination. Indeed, the daughter country is all women, and if a man steps on this pure land, he will be surrounded by beautiful women in the daughter country. They don't care whether your appearance is beautiful and ugly, nor do they hate whether your status is noble and low, it is the fulfillment of that sentence: things are rare and expensive.
Tang Monk Stefan was polite and elegant, and as soon as he arrived in his daughter country, he fascinated the queen of the daughter country. In exchange for passing the customs, Tang Monk actually agreed to the queen's marriage.
Where does the king of the daughter country know that the words of men should not be trusted, and she is overjoyed to announce the marriage to the world. The original text reads that the queen chose a zodiac auspicious day to hold a wedding banquet, and also gave up the throne, let the Tang monks ascend to the treasure hall, and changed the era name.
In other words, Tang Monk can not only marry the beautiful king of the daughter country, he is also the king of the daughter country. Such conditions are extremely tempting for any man, but for the Tang monks who are devoted to the Buddha, they are like dung. After the customs clearance documents of the daughter country were in hand, Tang Monk quickly rode on a white horse, and no matter how affectionately the queen called, Tang Monk left the daughter country without turning back.
What you should know is that according to the customs at that time, holding a wedding banquet was equivalent to receiving a marriage certificate, not to mention that the queen announced her marriage to tang monks to the world. It can be seen that Tang Monk has married the queen. On this point, Gao Cuilan's encounter also gives a strong proof.
At that time, when Tang Monk and Sun Wukong were passing by Gao Laozhuang, they heard the rumor that the Eight Precepts of the Pig forcibly took Cuilan as his wife. After Sun Wukong went deep into the tiger's den, he understood the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that the Eight Precepts of the Pig had originally used spells to become a tall, strong, black sunshine youth, and due to the brute force of hoeing the land without palladium and ploughing the fields without cattle, the Eight Precepts soon became the door-to-door son-in-law of Gao Taigong.
At that time, the Eight Precepts and Cuilan also chose an auspicious day of the zodiac and held a wedding banquet for the villagers' happy wine, and the two were also considered to have "received a marriage license" willingly. It's just that the Eight Commandments were drunk and drunk and showed their original form, which not only frightened the villagers to flee around, but also made Gao Taigong think of retiring from marriage.
However, the Eight Precepts and Cuilan follow the formal marriage process, so Cuilan is still nominally the wife of the Eight Precepts. Later, even if the Eight Precepts followed the Tang monk Xi tian to learn the scriptures, he did not write a letter of resignation, and Cuilan was still the daughter-in-law of the Eight Precepts. No wonder the Eight Precepts carried the burden of taking the scriptures and turned back to Gao Taigong as they walked, saying, "Father-in-law, good life takes good care of Cuilan, but I am afraid that I will not be able to take the scriptures, so I will come back and be your son-in-law again." ”
On the other hand, Tang Monk, he and the king of his daughter kingdom were already married, but whether it was on the subsequent way to learn the scriptures or in the Lei Yin Temple in Rulai, he never mentioned it. What would happen if Tang Monk admitted the marriage? The consequences are severe.
1. Tang monks in the Tang Dynasty were Li Shimin's brothers-in-law, so they had the prominent status of "Royal Brothers of the Tang Dynasty". If he becomes the husband of the king of the daughter country, he becomes the king of the daughter country. What you should know is that the daughter country is a small country, and it is a vassal state of the powerful country. The original text reads that the kingdom of Matsuri is the great place of Xibang, the kingdom of Nanyuetuo, the kingdom of North Gaochang, the kingdom of East and West Liang, the kingdom of Nishimoto Bowl, the tribute to the jade pearl every year, and the concubine horse.
If the Tang monks admitted to the marriage to the queen, would the daughter country continue to pay tribute to the sacrificial country? If you pay tribute, won't you lose the face of the Eastern Tang Dynasty? If you don't pay tribute, will you provoke a war with the sacrificial countries?
2. After the Tang monks walked 108,000 miles on foot, what was the difficulty of going through 9981? Of course, after obtaining the sutras of the Spirit Mountain, he became a Buddha. If the Tang monk confessed his marriage to the queen, it would be tantamount to violating the Buddhist vows, which was a big taboo for becoming a Buddha.
In summary, even if Tang Monk and the king of the daughter country have a husband and wife relationship, Tang Monk never mentions it and vows to die.
Friends, what do you think?
