Tell the story first:
According to The Journey to the West's tooling, Tang Priest's father rode through Chang 'an Avenue after winning the first prize, and happened to meet Yin girl who threw hydrangea to get married. The two were secretly in love, so Miss Yin threw the hydrangea and became the son-in-law of Prime Minister Yin's family, and they entered the bridal chamber on the same day. Since then, Chen Guangrui received an order from the imperial court and rushed to Jiangzhou for his post. On the way to his post, he picked up his old mother at home and the three of them went on the road together. When they arrived at Wanhua Store, Chen Guangrui's mother suddenly fell ill and stayed there temporarily. And miss yin continue on their way. When I walked to Hongjiang Ferry, I met a gang of robbers in Liu Hongyi. Killed and robbed the official position, and took Miss Yin to Jiangzhou for the title.
During her stay in Jiangzhou, Miss Yin gave birth to Tang Priest. In order to protect the life of the Tang Priest, she put the Tang Priest on a board according to the instructions of Invivo Jun, and let him drift to Jinshan Temple, where he was rescued by the abbot Faming and adopted by Jinshan Temple. Eighteen years later, Tang Priest found his mother, learned the whole story, and went to Chang 'an to find Prime Minister Yin. Only then did Liu Hong's affair finally come to light.
On the surface, this is a story about a robber who robbed a house, robbed property and then robbed an office. But if we only look at the surface, there are too many loopholes. In fact, Miss Yin had plenty of opportunities to expose Liu Hong in Jiangzhou eighteen years. You should know that Miss Yin is the daughter of the Prime Minister. Even if Liu Hong pretends to be Jiangzhou Zhizhou, there is a big gap between one year's knowledge and the level of the prime minister. If Miss Yin comes out as the daughter of the Prime Minister, those subordinates can't immediately tell whether it is true or not, at least they dare not do anything to Miss Yin. At least they will send people to Beijing. Then why did Miss Yin commit herself to 18 years? Even in the early days, it was to protect the life of Tang Priest, but in the eighteen years after Tang Priest was sent away, there were many opportunities. The fact is that Miss Yin doesn't want to expose it, which is the first doubt of the story.
The second doubt is that Miss Yin was pregnant on the wrong date. According to The Journey to the West's records, when getting off the boat, Miss Yin wanted to jump into the river with her, but she didn't jump into the river when she knew she was pregnant.
Here is a detail. In fact, the date of Miss Yin's pregnancy is wrong. We can calculate the time. I entered the bridal chamber with Miss Yin that day and left Chang 'an for Jiangzhou the next day. I picked up my old mother on the road, stayed in Wanjiadian for a few days, and then went to Hongjiang to be killed. How long did this process take? Jiangzhou in ancient times is Chongqing today. The straight-line distance from Xi to Chongqing today is 570 kilometers. If they go all the way by land with Miss Yin, they basically have to take a carriage. It's not a problem to walk 50 kilometers every day. Of course, it's not a straight walk from Chang 'an to Jiangzhou, so we have to make a detour. Even if calculated according to 1000 km, it will take 20 days to reach Jiangzhou directly. In addition, when Chen Guangrui was killed, they had not arrived in Jiangzhou.
So there must be no 20 days on the road. In addition, I picked up Chen Guangrui's mother by the way and stayed at Wanjia Store for a few days. It only took a month at most. We should know that there were no modern props such as pregnancy test sticks in ancient times, and women generally had early pregnancy reactions two months after pregnancy. In other words, Miss Yin should have been pregnant before she met her. Besides, Tang Priest is not the son of Chen Guangrui.
The third doubt is, why did Hiroshi stay in Jiangzhou for eighteen years? Liu Hong has been in Jiangzhou for eighteen years, but he can still do so decently, which is not what an ordinary robber can do at all. What is even weirder is that in these eighteen years, he has neither been promoted nor lowered, and he has not been transferred, which is not something that ordinary people can do. According to the rules of officialdom, a local official must be transferred after working in a place for a certain number of years, but for Liu Hong, once transferred, it is easy to be exposed, so it is safest for him to stay where he is, so how has he been doing it? So he must have a way to do this, which means that Liu Hong's real identity is not a robber.
In fact, Liu Hong's true identity is not a robber.
So I think the above doubts point to another truth of the matter-Miss Yin and she have known each other for a long time, but they are actually the father of Tang Priest, so these doubts have a reasonable explanation.
The truth of the story is this:
Liu Hong should be the son of a noble family in Chang 'an. After meeting Miss Yin, he ate the forbidden fruit and got the Tang Priest. However, Miss Yin's family and other family members should not handle it, so Prime Minister Yin disagreed with her daughter's marriage, so she arranged for her daughter to throw hydrangeas to marry, hoping to marry her soon. This also explains why Chen Guangrui can meet the bride and get married on the same day. According to the normal procedure, a prime minister would not be in such a hurry to marry his daughter, and would go through some formalities (marriage in ancient times was very complicated), but these were omitted, and he directly met his mother-in-law and entered the bridal chamber that day, so he got married so quickly.
But Liu Hong has always been obsessed with Miss Yin, so she ambushed in Hongjiang, killed Chen Guangrui and robbed Miss Yin. Moreover, when he hijacked Miss Yin, according to the original text of The Journey to the West, it said this:
Liu Hongyi hugged him and said, "If you follow me, everything will stop! If you don't obey, make a clean break! "
Miss Yin and actually have known each other for a long time.
Among them, Liu Hong said, "Don't press the time, make a clean break!" In fact, he is talking about his love affair with Miss Yin. It seems that Yin girl is still thinking in her heart, so she followed him from Jiangzhou. After giving birth to the Tang Priest, Miss Yin didn't know that the child was his, so she wanted to kill the child. Miss Yin sent the Tang Priest out of maternity. This is the story of Tang Priest looking for his mother after eighteen years.
Because Liu Hong was born in a noble family, he was somewhat literate and the family itself was very powerful, so he was able to stay in Jiangzhou for eighteen years, and it was not until the Tang Priest came to you eighteen years later that he finally revealed this matter.
Of course, this is only the first logic of the story. There is a bigger truth behind this logic, and there is a second logic.
The first doubt of the second level logic is that Chen Guangrui was saved by the Dragon King after Liu Hong went into the river (before Chen Guangrui released a golden carp, it was actually the Dragon King, and Chen Guangrui saved his life), and the Dragon King put a pearl on him to prevent it from rotting, and saved Chen Guangrui's soul from the underworld, so that Chen Guangrui could temporarily settle down in the Dragon Palace. It was not until eighteen years later that the truth came out that the Dragon King brought Chen Guangrui back to life and reunited with his family. Then, if the Dragon King really wanted to help Chen Guangrui, why didn't he bring Chen Guangrui back to life immediately after the accident, but waited until eighteen years later? You know, 18 years has passed, and his wife has been occupied 18 years, second time around. What kind of rescue is this?
The second doubt is that when Miss Yin just gave birth to the Tang Priest, Mr. Invivo also appeared beside Miss Yin, saying that she had come to help Miss Yin by the imperial edict of Guanyin, and asked Miss Yin to send Tang Priest away quickly, otherwise she would be killed by Liu Hong, so Miss Yin sent Tang Priest away according to Mr. Invivo's instructions. The problem here is that invivo Jun is an immortal in the sky. If you really want to help Miss Yin, come and help. Why hide it? If he does appear, is Liu Hong his opponent? Why doesn't invivo make a move right away?
The explanation of the above two doubts is that all this is actually arranged by Guanyin, with the aim of letting Tang Priest come out and expose this matter. I also have evidence to say so. The evidence is in the ninety-ninth journey to the west. After counting the magic soldiers in 1999, all three lines are roads. In the final analysis, Guanyin's calculation of Tang priest's eighty-one difficulties is a three-pronged process:
Killing a few people at birth is the second difficulty, throwing yourself into the river at full moon is the third, and revenge for your loved ones is the fourth.
Behind all these stories, it is actually the arrangement of Guanyin.
To put it bluntly, it is to leave experience for Tang Priest. Otherwise, how can it be difficult to get together? So the second logic of the whole story is actually to learn from the great cause. There are earthly arrangements, and there are big fairy arrangements in the celestial world. All the actions of mortals are beyond the calculation of Guanyin.
