"My disciple Yuan Zongdao, I wonder what the names of these seniors are?".

The elderly man on the left supports his beard and smiles at the sun:

"I am Cao Mengde, the king of Wei. I heard that I have been invited to a banquet, so I came here to ask for a drink."

Then I heard the words of the person on the right

"I don't want Su to suffer from this shameless traitor today!".

Both sides are fighting.

Yuan Zhi knew that three Cao and three Su had arrived, so he hurriedly stepped forward to relieve himself and the seven of them joined the banquet together.

After the banquet,

Yuan Qi asked

"Now that the six seniors are here, where are the three Zhao officials?"

Su Fuxu smiled and said:

"Three Zhaos wrote novels, and there is no time when people come to the world to have a banquet."

It turns out that the Emperor of Heaven has been chasing the book for a long time.

The official family of Sanzhao wrote novels day and night.

Yuan said with great enthusiasm:

"Writing novels is the most painful thing in the world!".

A night of silence.

At dawn the next day,

Yuan Xing lay in the court. Cups and plates were scattered everywhere, as if there was a banquet here last night, and the servants were surprised.

Yuan Hezhi said, "The senior I admire is a visitor, but I didn't call you all late at night."

The servant was generous and picked it up.

At the end of Wanli period,

There is Wu Sheng in Jingzhou,

Every night, I dream of a man in red robe telling me "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons".

Wu Sheng couldn't bear to be disturbed, so he changed the story and called it "Journey to the West".

After the book was completed, I dreamed of the man in red robe at night and said in his dream:

"You and I are not at odds with each other."

Wu Sheng was shocked, with tears streaming down his face, and said, "I'm in the official family!"

And this book and periodical is from Kyushu,

Everyone in the world said that Wu Sheng was the queen of Concubine Wu. Zhao Shizu wanted to make up for Concubine Wu's lack of concubine, so he wrote the book in a dream to gain fame in the world.

The author of the two books known as "Journey to the West" and "Journey to the West Conquering Demons" is both called "Wu Cheng'en".

——"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"·Pu Songling

Translation of "Three Zhaos":

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar named Yuan Zongdao in Huguang, who was an official to the rank of Yuanwailang.

Yuan Zongdao loved poetry and novels when he was a child. He often told his friends, "There are no more talented people in the world than San Cao, San Su, and San Zhao. I really want to set up a banquet to entertain these ancient talents."

One night, Yuan Zongdao heard someone making a noise in the yard.

Then he got up and scolded his servants to check,

However, after calling several times, there was no response from the slave, so he angrily put on his clothes and went to the courtyard to check.

I saw a banquet going on in the courtyard, complete with food and drinks.

Then I saw six people lined up on the left and right.

The three people on the left are wearing Han Dynasty costumes. The leader is short in stature and has narrow eyes, but he carries the power of an emperor.

The three people on the right are dressed in the clothes of Song Dynasty scholars. The leader has an upright appearance and is quite cultural.

Yuan Sheng was surprised,

Come forward and salute

"Yuan Zongdao was born late, I wonder how he would be called by the seniors?"

The elder on the left, Fu Xu, laughed and said:

"I am Cao Mengde, King of Wei. I heard that I have been invited to a banquet here, so I came here to ask for a glass of wine."

Then I heard someone on the right yelling something.

"I don't want Su to meet a shameless traitor like you today!"

The two parties then quarreled endlessly.

Yuan Zongdao knew that this was the arrival of Sancao and Sansu, so he hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege, made peace with both parties, and then the seven of them entered the banquet together.

After the banquet, Yuan Zongdao asked curiously

"Now that the six seniors are here, where are the three Zhao Guanjia?".

Su Shi stroked his beard and smiled.

"San Zhao is still coding and has no time to come down to earth to attend the banquet."

It turned out that the Jade Emperor was struggling to catch up on the novel, and the three Zhao officials could only write books day and night in heaven without any time to rest.

Yuan Zongdao said with emotion

"Sure enough, writing novels is the hardest thing in the world!",

A night of silence.

On the second day,

When Yuan Zongdao woke up, he found that he was sleeping in the yard, with cups and dishes scattered around, as if someone had held a banquet here last night.

The servants were all surprised, Yuan Zongdao said to them

"It's an old man I admire who is here as a guest. I didn't wake you up because it was too late last night."

The servant sighed at his master's generosity and then packed up.

In the middle of the later Wanli year,

There was a scholar Wu in Jingzhou,

Every night, he would dream of a man in red robe telling him "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons".

Scholar Wu couldn't stand this kind of harassment and changed the story.

Named "Journey to the West".

The day I finished writing,

That night the man in red said in his dream

"In this way, you and I will no longer owe each other any more."

Wu Shusheng woke up with a start, then burst into tears and cried:

"I am burdened by an official family."

Later, this book was sold all over Kyushu.

Everyone in the world says that Scholar Wu is the reincarnation of Concubine Wu.

In order to make up for Concubine Wu's failure to obtain the position of queen during her lifetime, Zhao Shizu wrote a book in a dream to save the Wu family's reputation.

Later generations called it "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons" and "Journey to the West"

The author of these two books is named "Wu Chengen".
