The reincarnation of Emperor Wei Zi.

Legend has it that Li Shimin is the reincarnation of Emperor Wei Zi in heaven, so Yan Luowang and other local officials will naturally pay homage to Li Shimin.

In The Journey to the West, Li Shimin is the brother of Tang Priest, because the Dragon King of Weihe River wants something from Li Shimin. Although Li Shimin agreed, because of an accident, he didn't help the Weihe Dragon King, so the ghost of the Weihe Dragon King came to Li Shimin every night to kill him, but the Tang Priest saved Li Shimin's life in the Weihe Dragon King incident.

Later, Li Shimin's eldest brother and younger brother suffered a lot in hell, so they tried to drag Li Shimin's soul into hell. But in hell, when Yan Luowang saw Li Shimin, he was a courtier, and other judges and emcees were even more grovelling. Li Shimin frightened to disgrace, puzzled. Yan Luowang explained that Li Shimin was a king and they were ministers of ghosts, so it was an appropriate courtier.

But when you think about it, people are all souls after death, and there is no distinction between monarch and minister, so I can see that what Yan Luowang said is false. According to the rumor in the sky, Li Shimin is the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Wei Zi.

In fact, Emperor Wei Zi was also a giant of Taoism, and his position was second only to that of the Jade Emperor. In addition, the three Luo Jinxian tied together with him are called the four emperors of Taoism, which shows that they can be said to be pivotal in the heaven, just like the princes in the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, and they are the kind of princes with terrible power.

It is precisely because of this identity that the more powerful immortals are both respectful and afraid of Li Shimin, while local officials such as Yan Luowang are just high-ranking officials in heaven, so it is natural to be very scared to see the reincarnation of Emperor Wei Zi.
