Among the 24 famous generals in Tang Dynasty, why were Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong chosen as door gods?

As folklore and folk belief, it is legendary. The gatekeeper is the god of Simen guards. Gatekeepers can be divided into many categories, such as blessing, civil servants, military attache and so on. When it comes to gatekeepers, many people may first think of Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong, the military commanders of the Tang Dynasty.

There are many heroes in the Tang Dynasty, and there is a reason for their great achievements, but as long as Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong become door gods.

As mentioned above, door gods, as one of folk beliefs, are legendary. This not only highlights the greatness of Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong, but also shows people's respect for them. There are different opinions about whether Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong can be goalkeepers. Among them, one that everyone is familiar with is a story in the classical novel The Journey to the West. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was a great emperor. His works included Hefang, and his martial arts was assisted by Weichi Gong, showing a stable phenomenon. Among the military commanders, Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong are famous.

One year, because King Jinghe made a bet with a fortune teller that King Jinghe was in charge of the rain, he thought it was his business whether it would rain or not. How to calculate the fortune teller, let the fortune teller measure the weather. Later, the upper bound issued a decree to make King Jinghe rain. What is important is that the will of the upper bound is the same as that of the fortune teller. This surprised King Jinghe. King Jinghe changed his will in order to win the bet, and as a result, he committed a dogma and was condemned to death. Wei Zhi, the minister of Emperor Taizong, was the supervisor of King Jinghe. In order to survive, King Jinghe went to Li Shimin to intercede, hoping that Li Shimin could intercede for him in front of Wei Zhi. Li Shimin felt that Wei Zhi was his courtiers, and Wei Zhi naturally wanted to listen to him, so he was straightforward and agreed.

In order to delay Wei Zhi, when it was time to behead him, Li Shimin asked Wei Zhi to play chess with him, but Wei Zhi beheaded him while King Jinghe was sleeping. King Jinghe thought that Li Shimin would intercede for him and he would survive, but he was ecstatic and finally beheaded. He thought Li Shimin had broken his word. Therefore, his soul was nicknamed Li Shimin Palace day and night, which made Li Shimin very uneasy.

At this time, and Weichi Gong, as warriors of the Tang Dynasty, stood outside the palace gate to protect the safety of the emperor. I didn't expect that the brave men in Weichi Gong really killed the soul of King Jinghe, and they didn't bother me that night, so that I could sleep peacefully.
