In the history of China, all previous peasant uprisings were either forced by officials to revolt against the people, or the people were in dire straits. When was the Monkey King cornered by God, and when was Huaguoshan starved to death? Although the Monkey King's style was handsome when he made havoc in Heaven, and his actions were cool when he fought, his motivation was outrageous and unreasonable, which destroyed social stability and harmony.
The motive of the Monkey King's disturbance in Heaven is to seize the power of the Jade Emperor, on the grounds that his force value is much higher than that of the Jade Emperor. He said to the Tathagata: "Lingxiao Hall is not his long time, and it has been passed down by kings of all ages. The strong want me to be respected, and the hero only dares to fight for the first place. " This is naked robber logic, because you are better at fighting, so you want the Jade Emperor to step down. Don't say that heaven rules the gods of the three realms and ten parties. Even the underworld chose the boss, not only because this person can play better, but also because of his appeal and leadership. For example, Song Jiang, the boss of Water Margin, relies on his own personality charm. According to the Monkey King's logic, it will probably be ranked as 108.
If you want to sit on the throne of the Jade Emperor, you must have at least some political achievements, prestige and work experience, just like being an emperor on earth. According to the collection records of Shang Gao Jade Emperor Bank, the Jade Emperor was originally a bright and strict prince-just like Sakyamuni Buddha. When the prince grew up, he helped his father manage the government and was deeply loved by the people. Later, after the death of the king, he did not want to succeed to the throne, but went deep into the mountains to practice Buddhism. Finally, he was able to soar for nine days and was supported by all the gods. This shows that the jade emperor accumulated rich experience in governing the country when he was a mortal, and then abdicated as a minister, and his virtue was comparable to that of Yao and Shun. Such people are certainly qualified and capable of governing the three realms. Let's look back at the Monkey King. At first, in order to prevent the Monkey King from making trouble, the Jade Emperor refused to let the Monkey King take the civil service exam, and directly arranged for the Monkey King to become Bi Marvin. Although it is a lie, it also gives you the opportunity to exercise at the grassroots level. The Jade Emperor said to Taibai Venus, "All official positions are courteous. Why is it too small? " . The Monkey King did not start as a grass-roots civil servant, but dreamed of ascending to heaven. How can there be such a good thing in the world! Looking at the heavenly generals, King Li Jing of Tota, Nezha of Santan Haihui, Yang Jian of Erlang, etc. They all struggled in the Shang and Zhou wars and made great achievements. They are in a high position and convincing. Instead of accumulating political capital in a down-to-earth manner, the Monkey King tried to seize the power of the Jade Emperor by violence and insolence. Even if there was no interference from the Tathagata in the end, the Jade Emperor was really driven away and sat on the throne. However, will the civil military commander in heaven obey him? Can his rule be safe?
In charge of the three realms, it is absolutely necessary to have rich work experience and brilliant political wisdom. Although the Monkey King was once the monkey king of Huaguo Mountain, are the monkeys who rule one mountain the same as the sentient beings who rule the three realms? If the Monkey King really succeeds in seizing power, it will only lead to the sudden collapse of the world order and unimaginable catastrophe.
In order to maintain stability, Heaven arranged for the Monkey King to raise horses and keep the flat peach garden. Although these posts are small, they are very casual, and there is no need for the Monkey King to punch in. But unexpectedly, the Monkey King ate the flat peach and the elixir, and then knew that he had done something wrong, but he didn't dare to take responsibility. He returned to Huaguoshan without even writing his resignation letter. Even the Monkey King himself felt indefensible for these thefts, so he left without saying goodbye and went home.
What is the Monkey King's personality? Two examples can be cited to illustrate:
First, when the Monkey King was practicing in Huaguoshan, he lacked metal weapons. Four old monkeys suggested that he go to the nearby Ole country, where there are many weapons workshops. "If your Majesty goes there, he will buy or build some weapons and teach us how to play and protect Shan Ye. This is really an opportunity to protect Thailand for a long time." Note that the old monkey said "buy or build some", but after the Monkey King went to Ole, he thought, "There must be ready-made weapons here. If I stay and buy some, I might as well ask a magical power to find some. " Then, he blew a strong wind, causing sand and stones to fly, scaring the whole city away from going out. He broke into Ole's armory and armory and took all the weapons with thousands of little monkeys. This kind of behavior is a typical extortion, just like the Manchu people broke into the Han Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty and robbed gold, silver and jewelry.
Second, the Monkey King asked the Dragon King of the East China Sea to give him another pair of armor after forcibly taking away the anchor needle. Of course, the old dragon king said no, and the Monkey King played a rogue. "One guest doesn't commit two masters. If not, I can't decide this door." He further threatened that if he didn't give it, "I will try this iron with you!" " Knowing the power of the anchor needle, the old dragon king was so scared that he had to summon three sea dragons, and * * * pieced together a pair of excellent clothes for him. This behavior is no different from the bully's forced collection of protection money.
When the Monkey King was in Guo Huashan, because of his great momentum, he attracted 72 cave demon kings to pay homage. These demon kings are called the Monkey King, paying tribute every year and calling at four o'clock. These demon kings and goblins regard the Monkey King as their eldest brother, believing that they can lead a well-off life as soon as possible with him. When Li Tianwang led the four heavenly kings and other armies to conquer, the Monkey King sent the one-horned ghost king, the 72-hole demon king and four athletes to battle. Finally, when the Monkey King learned that Li Tianwang had captured the 72-hole demon king and the one-horned ghost king alive, he said indifferently, "The ancients said,' If you kill an enemy of 10,000, you will lose 3,000'. Captured leaders include butch, wolf worm, badger egg, fox egg, etc. Why bother? " Others regard him as a reliable leader, pay tribute to him and work hard for him. As a result, after being captured by the enemy, the leader didn't take their life and death seriously at all, just because they were not the same kind! Such a narrow racial ideology will not unite people and lead a leader who does not understand politics. If he really sits on the jade emperor's seat, the consequences can be imagined.
After the Monkey King was named "Monkey King" by heaven, he felt that his dignity had been ruthlessly trampled on because he learned that the Queen Mother had not invited him to the flat peach banquet, and he made a scene. But the Monkey King didn't understand that even if the Queen Mother invited you, it was only a superficial respect for you, and she still only regarded you as a "demon monkey" in her heart. You don't have any qualifications and accomplishments, but you want to be on an equal footing with other immortals. You don't say! The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor forgot the "Monkey King" when preparing the guest list for the flat peach banquet, because they didn't take the Monkey King seriously and underestimated the possibility that the Monkey King might visit. From the perspective of maintaining stability, the Jade Emperor did make a big mistake.
After listening to the Monkey King's theory that "the strong are the most respected", the Tathagata did not immediately push, but said that the jade emperor had to endure 1,750 robberies to enjoy this infinite avenue, and warned him not to make trouble again, or he would kill you. Unexpectedly, the Monkey King didn't know his little land at this time, but he still shouted arrogantly: "Although it has been robbed for a long time, it should not be occupied for a long time. As the saying goes,' emperors take turns doing it'. This forced the Buddha to fight violence with violence and put him at the foot of Wuxing Mountain. As the saying goes, "bullying the sky without thinking about high position, Lingsheng steals Dan and confuses the clan." I don't know when I can turn over. "
However, we can't say that the Monkey King did it because he was willful. In fact, he dared to run amok because he felt that the Dragon King, the underworld and the Heavenly Palace were all weak. When the Monkey King left his master Bodhi, Bodhi warned him: "Your life will be bad when you come here, but you can't say that you are my apprentice, it depends on how you get into trouble and commit crimes. If you say a word, I will know. I'm going to skin you and file your monkey. I'm going to exile you to a quiet place and teach you that you can't turn over after all! " The Monkey King replied: "I never dared to mention the word master, but only said it was the convenience of my own society." After the havoc in Heaven, the Monkey King really didn't dare to mention who his master was, because he knew his master's strength, and he was afraid that he would really be beaten by his master and never turn over. So the Monkey King is actually bullying the weak and fearing the hard.
The Monkey King is a simple monkey, not violent or arrogant. When he was a teacher, he said to himself, "I don't mind if people scold me;" You hit me, I am not angry, just accompanying a gift. " But as he learned a lot of skills, his true heart was obscured and gradually became stronger everywhere, which finally caused such an earth-shattering scene.
Because of his failure as a human being, when the Monkey King was trapped at the foot of Wuxing Mountain, "I lived here for a year and no one knew me." . I wonder if the Monkey King has deeply reflected on his mistakes in the long years of oppression? Have you ever thought about turning over a new leaf?
Finally, the Monkey King broke free from the imprisonment and protected the Buddhist scriptures of Tang Priest. In fact, this is a journey of the Monkey King's reconstruction, a journey of cleansing and a journey of returning to his original heart. The ape lost in the earth finally found himself again.
