The Monkey King, the great disciple, immediately understood what was going on. Therefore, when the master and the apprentice went to court to see the king of Wuji, the Monkey King came to smash the venue, so it was very arrogant not to knock or worship. Angry, the monster immediately ordered the official warrior to take down the Tang Priest and his disciples, but he never thought that all of them would be held by the monkeys. The monster was so angry that he jumped out of the dragon bed and wanted to catch it himself. Wukong was waiting for the monster to make a move, and he was secretly applauding, but the prince suddenly stirred up the game.
What is written in the book is that the prince did this because he was afraid that the monster would hurt the Tang Priest, but this is absolutely nonsense. The prince is never so kind. He stopped the Monkey King only because it was not time to get rid of the demon. Except for monsters, it is natural for the prince to ascend to the throne, but the best time to get rid of monsters is when the identity of monsters is revealed. The Tang Priest and his disciples had just arrived at the temple, and before they talked about the truth and falsehood, the emperor had a big fight, so even if the demon was dead, the princes would not be convinced and the people would not accept it. If things don't go well, there may also be rumors that the prince secretly married a demon monk in the east to kill the monarch and usurp the throne and seize power in the golden palace. At that time, people's hearts will be floating and there will be many discussions. Even with the support of a mother, I am afraid that the country will be unstable.
Therefore, a large part of the reason why the prince of Wuji stopped the demon king from killing the Tang Priest was to make himself ascend to the throne smoothly and convince his ministers.
