Wei Zi of Emperor Taizong

Many people will read one place in The Journey to the West when they read their works, and that is: "A happy king of the Tang Dynasty bowed to heaven and forgot the mountains and rivers, and all the officials who loved him knelt down and burned incense. The monks and nuns in the temple are full of vulgarity, and the scholars are artificial. Everyone misses the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the south. " Many people don't understand why everyone knelt down to visit Guanyin Bodhisattva, but this Li Shimin didn't kneel down, just bowed to heaven.

In fact, in the first few chapters of The Journey to the West, the Dragon King made a mistake and asked Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, for help. It can be seen that the secular emperor actually exists in a very important position. In the chapter in which Li Shimin beheaded the Dragon King in Wei Zhi, "Ten Kings came at reduced prices" and "Ten Kings were in Senluobaodian and were accused of devoting themselves to meet Taizong", which shows that Li Shimin's identity is really unusual.

So who's Li Shimin? According to many records, Li Shimin is the reincarnation of the Arctic Emperor Wei Zi, and who is this Arctic Emperor Wei Zi? You can tell by the name that there is an emperor behind you. It must be unusual. In fact, Emperor Wei Zi was on an equal footing with Fang Zuming and belonged to the six royal families. This is very important in heaven. Although reincarnation, but not as good as Guanyin. Although Guanyin Bodhisattva is already one of the five elders in the celestial world, if you really want to calculate by seniority, Guanyin Bodhisattva is just a junior. Therefore, it is not only Li Shimin who has to kneel to Guanyin. On the contrary, Guanyin should visit Li Shimin in turn, but there are too many mortals. Li Shimin should not only make people believe in immortals, but also not lose their face. At the same time, Guanyin Bodhisattva should not lose face. Generally speaking, she can only bow to the sky.

In fact, there are many theories that the ancient emperor was reincarnated as a fairy, and Li Shimin is just one of them. It's no wonder, after all, how can he become an emperor if he is not reborn as an immortal?
