Why was the Dragon King of Zhongjing River in The Journey to the West beheaded?

King Jinghe made a private announcement because he broke the dogma. In order to win the bet, he privately changed his dogma and did not distribute rainwater according to the jade emperor's instructions. As a result, he broke the dogma and was beheaded by the jade emperor.

The story begins with a fortune teller. One day, the shrimp soldiers and crabs will report to him that there are fewer and fewer fish and shrimps in Jinghe River. In order to find out the reason, the king of Jinghe came to the earth in the form of human beings. Later, he found that the relationship between fish and shrimp in Jinghe River and fortune-telling became less and less, and many people were saying that this fortune-telling was accurate. The King of Jinghe was very angry. He thought that if so, all the descendants of Jinghe would be wiped out.

In order to convince the fortune teller, King Jinghe said to the fortune teller, I will make a bet with you whether it will rain tomorrow and how much it will rain.

If he is accurate, convince him, if not, smash his signboard. In fact, the Dragon King thinks I am the Dragon King, and I have to listen to how much rain I send. How can it be a Taoist?

The fortune teller is very good. He has plans to make this bet with King Jinghe. As a result, the next day, the Jade Emperor suddenly asked the Dragon King of Jinghe River to rain at the time and point of the imperial decree. As a result, the King of Jinghe was dumbfounded when he saw the imperial edict, and the time and points written on it were exactly the same as those calculated by the Taoist priest.

The proud King Jinghe did not want to admit defeat, so he tampered with the imperial edict of the Jade Emperor and did not rain according to the regulations. So I went to the world to find a fortune teller to smash his signboard. I didn't expect the Taoist priest to reveal his identity. He also said that you had tampered with Heaven's laws and violated Heaven's laws without permission, so you will be punished.

The King of Jinghe panicked and asked the scholar what to do. The Taoist showed him the way, saying that if he wanted to live, he had to go to Li Shimin, because the beheader was his subordinate Wei Zhi.

So King Jinghe found Li Shimin and explained the reason. Li Shimin also wanted to help him, so he played chess with Wei Zhi to delay Wei Zhi. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhi fell asleep and King Jinghe was beheaded in heaven after his out-of-body experience.

Although Wei Zhi is Li Shimin's liegeman, he also has an identity as Cao Guan, the communicator between heaven and earth, so he has the ability to cut dragons in his dreams.
