Short video: Shocking the world

"It turns out that the lifespan of gods also has an end!"

"He suffered 1,750 tribulations, each lasting 129,600 years! How long did the Jade Emperor live?"

"Two hundred million... According to the figures of later generations, the Jade Emperor should have lived for more than 200 million years!"

"Do you think I look like a reincarnation of a god?"

"No!"

"Why did Guanyin Bodhisattva team up with the underworld to set a trap for Li Shimin? Why don't people in later generations explain it clearly! Is it just to let Li Shimin live 20 more years and survive 20 more tribulations in the human world?"

"I haven't read Journey to the West, but I have heard from storytellers. I usually only hear about the Monkey King making trouble in the Heavenly Palace and then escorting Tang Monk to the West to obtain scriptures. I didn't know that Emperor Taizong of Tang in Journey to the West was actually the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei!"

...

Emperor Taizong of Tang's plane

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "Second brother, I really thought you were the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei!"

Li Shimin said: "Whether I am the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei or not, I am your husband, your second brother!"

The officials on the side were forced to eat a mouthful of dog food.

...

[How much power does Emperor Ziwei have in Heaven? ]

[Equivalent to the prime minister of a dynasty, with power below one person and above ten thousand people. ]

[The deputy of the Jade Emperor, the executive deputy Jade Emperor of Heaven. ]

[The Emperor of Heaven, the Minister of Personnel of Heaven, is in charge of the promotion of the gods in Heaven! ]

[Let's put it this way, if the position of the Jade Emperor in Heaven is not inherited by the father, and the Jade Emperor suddenly dies, in the absence of a successor, the Emperor Ziwei is the first in line to inherit. ]

Ancient people of many dynasties: The power of the Emperor Ziwei is so great? !

Although ancient times were full of superstition and people worshipped various gods, most people could not even get enough food. Many things were passed down by word of mouth. People usually just remembered the names of gods. Who would bother to check what powers gods held?

In some dynasties, there was no legend of Ziwei Emperor before. How could people know what powers Ziwei Emperor held?

[I understand. Li Shimin is the Grand Chancellor of Heaven! ]

"If your majesty is really the Grand Chancellor of Heaven, don't forget me when you return to Heaven!"

"I am also willing to follow your majesty, whether in heaven or on earth."

"You all have beautiful thoughts!"

When the civil and military officials of the Zhenguan Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty saw that some people in later generations called Li Shimin the Grand Chancellor of Heaven, they couldn't help but joked.

[The emperor is the Son of Heaven, the emperor of heaven represents the way of heaven, and the Ziwei Emperor is also a local emperor of heaven. His power and status in heaven are second only to the Jade Emperor. Being in charge of the emperor on earth is one of the powers of the Ziwei Emperor. Therefore, all emperors must call Ziwei Emperor "Dad". ]

[Then can I understand that Ziwei Emperor is the father of all emperors, Li Shimin is the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor, and all emperors must call Li Shimin "Dad", including Li Yuan! ]

[Okay, okay, it's Tiangang, right? ]

Except Li Shimin, rulers of all dynasties: (▼ヘ▼#) Extremely speechless.

Li Shimin's biological father Li Yuan, his face was dark.

[The emperor is the son of Haotian God, not the son of Ziwei Emperor. ]

Some emperors who want to get out of the current embarrassing situation: Yes, yes, yes!

Other black-bellied emperors are thinking: Who is the reincarnation of Haotian God? Who else do we have a father?

[Are the Jade Emperor and Haotian God the same person? ]

People in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Qin and Han Dynasties also wanted to know this question.

The Lord of Heaven is not Haotian God!

[No! The Jade Emperor originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and officially rose in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the emperor of the Song Dynasty combined the Jade Emperor and the God of Heaven into one person. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang separated the Jade Emperor and the God of Heaven and worshipped the God of Heaven. ]

[The God of Heaven is the supreme god of Confucianism, representing the supreme imperial power! The Jade Emperor was promoted by Taoism, and below the Three Pure Ones, he is not considered the supreme god. ]

Seeing this comment, the rulers and people of all dynasties understood.

"The supreme god? We grassland people believe in Changshengtian! We don't believe in Haotian or the Jade Emperor!"

"The belief of the Chu people is that Donghuang Taiyi is the supreme god!"

[I don't understand the operation of the emperors of the Song Dynasty. I feel that they are mentally ill! They have to combine the God of Heaven and the Jade Emperor into one. Can the Jade Emperor represent the imperial power? There are the Three Pure Ones above him! If he can represent the imperial power, wouldn't it tell the world that Taoism is more powerful than the emperor? ! ]

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "That's why we separated Haotian and the Jade Emperor!"

...

[Can people really cultivate to become immortals? #Tang Dynasty#History]

"Cultivate to become immortals?"

"Is it like the Biography of Emperor Mu, also a historical record?!"

"Who in my Tang Dynasty has cultivated to become an immortal?"

"People in later generations should be talking about Dongji Zhenren!"

"Can people who cultivate to become immortals create nuclear bombs in later generations?""Who is more powerful, immortals or a nuclear bomb?"

The ancients began to compare theology with science.

【"Xie Ziran, a female Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, ascended to heaven in broad daylight in public. This incident is recorded in both official and unofficial history. It is said that she survived by drinking water."】

【"At first, local people thought she was crazy, but she persisted for several years."】

【"People at that time were also very suspicious. It happened that the newly appointed local officials were very prejudiced against Taoism and believed that becoming an immortal was a lie."】

【"When he heard that there was such a female Taoist priest who practiced fasting, he immediately became interested, so he arrested Xie Ziran and ordered his men not to give her food or drink to see if she would starve to death."】

【"As a result, a whole month passed, the door opened, and Xie Ziran actually walked out of the house calmly, the whole person was radiant."】

【"Everyone was shocked at the time, and many people directly regarded Xie Ziran as a god."】

"It is recorded in both unofficial and official history. It seems that Xie Ziran is really capable!"

"Has the immortal method of Master Xie been passed down? What happened to the rebellion of Zuo Menchang? Who will be better in the three-fold competition?"

【"Later in 794 AD, 65-year-old Xie Ziran had a premonition that her time was up, so she told everyone that she would ascend to heaven on September 9th."]

【"After this was announced to the public, people thought she was old and confused. Xie Ziran set up a dojo on September 9th, and tens of thousands of people came to visit."]

【"According to historical records, Xie Ziran ascended to heaven in broad daylight that day in full view of the public, floating in the air. In the originally clear sky, there were seven-colored clouds. Clouds and purple mist appeared at the same time, and everyone was stunned. ”]

[“There was an official present at the time, so he reported Xie Ziran’s ascension to the emperor.”]

[“After the emperor knew about this, he specially erected a stone tablet for Xie Ziran at the Jinquan Mountain Taoist Temple, and personally recorded Xie Ziran’s life story.”]

“Ascending in broad daylight! It really is ascending in broad daylight!”

“Xie Xianren should be more powerful than Zuo Menzhang! Zuo Menzhang is just a land immortal, and Xie Xianren ascended directly!”
