"Journey to the West" is broad and profound, many details in it are worth recalling, there is a question that everyone has considered, after Rulai surrendered to Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor specially held an Antian Assembly for him, and also let many immortals accompany him, the result of the conference did not start for a long time, Shou Xing Gong did not invite himself, and also gave Rulai a gift, since Shou Xing Gong did not receive an invitation from the Jade Emperor, why did he have to go forward?
Jade emperor
There may be friends who don't believe it, and think that Shou Xinggong is such an important person, how can the Jade Emperor not be invited? In fact, this is the case, everyone should pay attention to who the Jade Emperor invited to this Antian conference:
The Jade Emperor passed on the message, that is, the gods of Leibu, and asked the Three Qing and Four Emperors, the Five Elders and Six Divisions, the Seven Yuans and Eight Poles, the Nine Yao and Ten Capitals, and the Thousand Truths and All Saints to come here to attend the meeting and thank You Fuen. He also ordered the Four Heavenly Masters and the Nine Heavenly Immortals to open the Jade Capital Golden Gate, the Taixuan Treasure Palace, and the Dongyang Jade Pavilion, and please come to sit on the Seven Treasures Spiritual Platform, adjust the seats of each class, and arrange the dragon liver phoenix chalcedony and the jade liquid peach.
This is the jade emperor's invitation list, and Shou Xinggong is definitely not in this invitation list, because the original book is clearly written, when the Queen Mother's mother and lady are finished, the participants begin to push the cup to open the wine process, at this time the original record:
The Queen Mother was singing and dancing with the fairy goddesses, and when she was not long, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance and shook the stars and the house. The Celestial Buddha stopped the cup and looked up at each other. There is an old man in the middle of Xiaohan, holding a Lingzhi flying embroidery. The gourd hides the Ten Thousand Years Dan, and the treasure basket is named Qianji Shou.
Birthday
It can be seen that Shou Xinggong was not invited, but came deliberately, so what was his intention to come at this time? Let's see what he said first:
At first, the demon monkey was led by Lao Jun to the Tushi Palace for exercise, thinking that it would bring peace, but he did not expect him to come out again. Fortunately, rulai was good at ambushing this strange thing, and set up a feast to give thanks, so he smelled the wind and came. There is nothing else to offer, and the purple zhiyao grass and the bi lotus golden dan are offered.
To put it simply, Shou Xing Gong is to give gifts to Ru Lai, and he also pointed out that Sun Wukong is particularly difficult to deal with, even Taishang Laojun has not been able to deal with it, but as soon as Ru Lai arrives, it will be lifted to a very high position in public, so what is the real intention of Shou Xing Gong? A pot of porridge believes that the birthday star's move has three meanings.
First, Taishang Laojun is the strength of the Taoists, and the things he can't figure out, if he can easily handle them, shows that the strength of the Buddhist sect has risen, at least it can compete with the Taoists. This point is very important, before a pot of porridge analysis, the Jade Emperor is like the emperor of the human world, if you want to sit firmly in the supreme position, you can't let the Daoist sect dominate, and the rise of the Buddhist faction's power has allowed the Jade Emperor to find a way to balance the power of the Daoist sect, so he spares no effort to help the Buddhist sect.
Lao Jun
In this incident, the forces dominated by the Taoists did not get it done, but the people came to settle down, and at this time, it was natural to enhance the status of the Buddhist sect, so that the Daoist sect could not speak. And Shou Xinggong saw the timing, at this time to speak for Rulai, not only raised Rulai, but also let the Jade Emperor have a reasonable excuse to balance the Daoist sect in the next step, killing two birds with one stone.
Second, in private, the relationship between Shou Xinggong and the Buddhist Sect is not reversed, because they have already intersected, which is based on evidence, do you remember the bridge section of the Dragon King of jinghe? In fact, the previous article of a pot of porridge has also prompted, interested can look at the previous records. The original book has this description:
Hearing this, the Ten Kings said, "Since before the dragon was born, the Nandou Star Death Book was destined to be killed at the hands of Ren Cao, and I already knew about it." But it was only he who was here to argue, and he was determined to come down to this three Cao cases, and it was I who sent him to the wheel of Tibet and was reborn. Now His Majesty Has come down again, hoping to beg for forgiveness for the sin of my urging. ”
The Nandou Star here refers to the Shou Xing Gong, he also has a book of life and death in his hand, and he is closely related to the difu, otherwise the Ten Halls Of Yan King would not have gone to him to read the book of life and death, let alone noticed the Jinghe Dragon King. The supreme person in charge of the prefectural government is the Bodhisattva of the Jizo King, which shows that the Shouxing Gong and the Buddhist sect have long been in contact with each other and have a good relationship.
The previous article on a pot of porridge mentioned that the death of the Dragon King of Jinghe was actually a bureau, the purpose of which was to trick Li Shimin into a day trip to the prefecture to make up his mind to learn the scriptures, and from the words of the King of Yan, we learned that Shou Xinggong participated in the plan to learn the scriptures as early as the beginning.
Third, Shou Xing Gong is a participant in the Sutra Learning Program. Rulai is the red man in front of the Jade Emperor, because the Jade Emperor wants to pull him to balance the Daoist forces in the heavenly court, Shou Xinggong has long seen this relationship, so he has drawn in the Buddha of Rulai, and taking the sutra is the most important thing for Rulai, so Shou Xinggong also took the initiative to participate in it, and his mount sika deer directly went down to the plane to become a difficulty in the plan, which can be seen shouxinggong's attitude towards Rulai. And this Antian conference is a good time for Shou Xinggong to once again win over Rulai.
Therefore, The ShouXing Gongcai came uninvited and suppressed the Daoist faction's power to raise Rulai, so that both Rulai and the Jade Emperor were very happy, and added a layer of insurance for the smooth implementation of the plan, because the Daoist faction could not come up with a suitable reason to overturn the plan.
