About 1,300 years ago, in the first year of Zhenguan (627) of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang, a 25-year-old young monk, left the capital Chang'an and went to Tianzhu (India) to study alone. After setting off from Chang'an, he passed through Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, going through many hardships and obstacles, and finally arrived in India. He studied there for more than two years and was a keynote speaker at a large-scale debate on Buddhist scriptures, where he received praise. In the 19th year of Zhenguan (645), Xuanzang returned to Chang'an and brought back 657 Buddhist scriptures. His journey to the West for Buddhist scriptures lasted for nineteen years and covered tens of thousands of miles. It was a legendary Long March that caused a sensation. Later, Xuanzang's oral account of his journey to the West was compiled into twelve volumes of "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" by his disciple Bianji. But this book mainly tells the history, geography and transportation of the countries seen on the road, without any stories. When his disciples Huili and Yan Cong wrote the "Biography of Master Tripitaka of the Great Ci'en Temple of the Tang Dynasty", it added a lot of mythological color to Xuanzang's experience. From then on, the story of Tang Monk's Buddhist scriptures began to be widely circulated among the people. The Southern Song Dynasty has "The Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty Searching for Buddhist Scriptures", the Jin Dynasty version has "The Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Peach Club", etc., And the Yuan dramas include Wu Changling's "The Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty Searching for Buddhist Scriptures from the West", and the Anonymous' "Erlang God Locks the Great Sage of Qi", etc. These all laid the foundation for the creation of "Journey to the West". It was on the basis of folk legends, scripts and operas that Wu Cheng'en went through painstaking re-creation and completed this great novel that the Chinese nation is proud of.

I am not a person with a lot of historical knowledge, and I have never wanted to be a historian. But I often read history books, trying to find some regularity in historical development. In the past few years, I have systematically read some historical materials from ancient times to the late Qing Dynasty. What surprised me is that in the nearly 3,000 years of history since the Western Zhou Dynasty, so many emperors died unexpectedly! Such a large proportion of the reigning emperors!

Feudal emperors had many concubines and gave birth to many princes, ranging from a dozen to dozens, and some emperors even gave birth to as many as a hundred children. However, there is only one dragon chair. In order to become the one person above ten thousand people, some people kill their fathers to succeed them; some brothers kill each other; some people kill their sons and dethrone their successors; especially the princes who are designated as successors are often the targets of princes' plots to kill. According to statistics, from 770 BC during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period to the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, about 290 princes died. They themselves also read history books, and their lessons are not far away. However, they still continue to repeat history.

The emperor often "slashed" the subjects under his rule. Those who kill will always be killed, and in turn, many emperors will be killed. From King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty to Puyi of the Qing Dynasty, there were a total of 882 reigning emperors, 288 of whom did not die well (killed, hanged, starved to death, or poisoned), accounting for 32.6% Of the reigning emperors; 84 dynasties, More than 50% of the reigning emperors were killed in 27 cases; 100% of the reigning emperors in six dynasties died unexpectedly; 16 emperors were killed before they were minors; some emperors were killed on the day they ascended the throne. For the sake of the supreme dragon chair in the world, they are cruel to others and even more cruel to their own people.
