Let's first look at how Monkey became a civil servant in heaven. After enlightenment, the Monkey King stirred the Dragon Palace to seize Poseidon's needle, destroyed the hell and tore up the book of life and death. The Dragon King of the East China Sea and Yan Luowang went to Heaven to sue the Monkey King! Originally, I hoped that the jade emperor would go to hell to pay. Unexpectedly, under the operation of God, the Jade Emperor adopted the strategy of "wooing". Moreover, heaven has always agreed to recruit him to heaven and give him an official title "Bi", which is mainly in charge of tens of thousands of heavenly horses in the Heavenly Palace. This is really an irrelevant position. That is, the captain of the celestial motorcade, although there are not many cars. Although it is not an inflow, sesame and mung beans are also officials. At least it's better than burning a boiler
The Journey to the West also describes the Monkey King's conscientious work. The original text is "the Monkey King looked up books and counted horses. In this prison, the dictionary is responsible for collecting forage; Forcing the sergeant to be responsible for washing horses, planting grass, drinking water and cooking materials; Supervisor Cheng and deputy supervisors assist in supervision; Bi Marvin stayed up all night, feeding horses. Dancing during the day is ok, and watching at night is also diligent, but if the horse sleeps, it will get up and eat grass; Those who walk seize the future by the trough. When those heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals met him, they kept silent, trotted with hoof diseases, and the meat they raised was plump. " It can be seen that the monkey's work is still good.
Later, it was because the official was too small to "hang the seal". This is not the practical work of a typical workplace white like Monkey. The Monkey King's biggest mistake was his lack of leadership. The Jade Emperor reigned for 36 days and governed 72 places. Everything, whether it is God, Immortal, Buddha, Saint, Man and Hell, is dominated by him, with infinite power. It's an honor to be a junior official for the Monkey King. The background of Journey to the West is the Ming Dynasty, and the officials of the imperial horse prison in the Ming Dynasty are four things. The Monkey King, though not a four-product, is certainly not low. But unfortunately, the monkey was angry and dissatisfied, and his subordinates provoked him (I think Mayor Ma did it on purpose). The Monkey King turned against heaven. Be against the sky. Although I went to heaven for the second time, the official residence is the best "Monkey King". As far as "power" is concerned, managing the flat peach garden is obviously not as powerful as the royal horse supervisor, and there is no salary. This illustrates a problem from one side. When the monkey got paid, he was better than Marvin.
If the Monkey King doesn't go against the sky, there are only two ways. First, he may be confused about life. Second, it is possible to climb to the peak of power. This depends not only on the efforts of monkeys, but also on luck and opportunity. But luck and opportunity are there, not without them. For example, there was a big disturbance like the Monkey King in heaven, and Monkey came to the rescue. The Monkey King's official award is only the beginning of his career. It's a pity that the Monkey King gave up, perhaps in a hurry. On the whole, the Monkey King took a wrong step.
