After careful analysis, let's talk about the origin of Tang Priest. In The Journey to the West, the 83rd TV series we watched when we were children, we explained that Tang's father was the top scholar Lang and his mother was the daughter of Prime Minister Yin Wenjiao. Tang Priest is a standard rich second generation and an official second generation. Besides, Tang Priest and Chen Guangrui are both played by the same actor. We all mistakenly thought that Tang Priest's father was Chen Guangrui, the top scholar, but he wasn't!
The top scholar Chen Guangrui was cuckolded, and Tang Priest's biological father was Liu Hong who killed Chen Guangrui. Liu Hong is not as simple as an ordinary mountain thief. There is great energy behind him. He may be the opponent of the Prime Minister. He also had an affair with Yin Wenjiao, the daughter of the Prime Minister, who was pregnant with Liu Hong's child.
The background of The Journey to the West at that time was the period of Emperor Taizong. In the Tang dynasty, it still depends on the recommendation of officials. The imperial examination system has just started and is not perfect. The prime minister's daughter pays attention to formal marriage and political marriage, and prohibits ordinary people from getting married normally. However, the prime minister has to throw hydrangeas when he marries a woman. Generally, he throws hydrangeas like this because he is too ugly to marry or recruit a son-in-law. But why did Yin Wenjiao do this?
It can only be that she already has Liu Hong's child in her belly. His father didn't approve of his being with Liu Hong, and asked her to throw hydrangeas to find the catcher. It is also a good thing for the Prime Minister to let his daughter throw hydrangeas and marry the champion Lang as soon as he finds out that the champion Lang is going to pass by.
However, the Prime Minister did not expect that he stopped Hu halfway, killed him and drowned him in the river. When Yin Wenjiao was about to throw himself into the river, Liu Hong hugged him and said, "If you follow me, everything will stop; If not, make a clean break! " Make a clean break, this word proves that they had a relationship before, and there were many contacts before, so it's over.
If Liu Hong is just an ordinary mountain thief, he will grab some money at most, kill a little harder, and grab beautiful women to entertain himself. However, Liu Hong directly asked Yin Wenjiao to be his wife, pretending to be the number one scholar and being an official himself, which did not conform to the logic and ability of mountain thieves at all. Moreover, officials have identification, physical description and various anti-counterfeiting signs. And I have to report back to Beijing every three years. Fake people can't get through the official department. Otherwise, people who have been studying hard for fame for ten years at a cold window are all robbing officials.
The only possibility is that Liu Hong is a guest mountain thief. He is familiar with officialdom, and his family is also a powerful aristocrat, so he will pretend to be the top scholar and be an official, and he may have had contact with the daughter of the prime minister before that. Then Liu Hong became an official in 18, and managed the local area well. Yin Wenjiao has always been willing, did not report, and lived peacefully and happily with her lover, which is very meaningful.
But Guanyin is not idle. After Liu Hong killed Tang Priest's father Chen Guangrui, she appeared. She sent invivo Jun to find Yin Wenjiao and said, "Room full, listen to my instructions. I am the monarch of Invivo, and by the imperial edict of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I send this son to you. Being famous in the future does not mean being idle. " Hearing this, Yin Wenjiao is a bad thing. What happened to her was learned by Guanyin. The baby in her belly will not be ordinary in the future, which is a great threat to her husband. She wrote a bloody book and exiled him to the river. This is the river again. Kill Chen Guangrui in the same way.
Fortunately, an old monk rescued the Tang Priest in the river and named him "Jiang Liuer". Unexpectedly, when Tang Priest grew up, he went to the Prime Minister with a bloody book. The Prime Minister did not go directly to Liu Hong, a well-known official in Jiangzhou, but told the emperor that he had sent a body guard to 60,000 soldiers and persuaded two familiar local officials to cooperate with each other. It was not until midnight that a sudden attack broke Liu Hong's yamen. Is this a fight against an ordinary mountain thief? It can only be a powerful person in the imperial court, worth doing, and everything makes sense.
Later, the Tang Priest killed Liu Hong and brought his "father" Chen Guangrui back to life. To outsiders, Yin Wenjiao hanged herself when it was supposed to be a family gathering. Think about why she killed herself. Seeing that Guanyin's son came to kill his real husband, the tide was gone, and he was helpless, so he died disheartened.
Tang Priest killed his father and forced his mother to die. Guanyin also remembered a difficulty. "The fourth difficulty is to find relatives and avenge." It was a happy event to seek revenge for relatives, but Guanyin remembered a difficulty for him. This is Guanyin's intentional arrangement, so that he can go to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures without worries and stop thinking. Those who learn from the West are sinners, so that they can learn from them and make meritorious deeds.
The above is a complete reasoning explanation, and of course it is also a personal opinion. You are free to believe or not.
