Summary:
The Dragon King of the Jing River made a bet with Yuan Shoucheng and mistakenly carried a rain cloth, so he was beheaded in a dream by Wei Zheng, an old minister of Emperor Tang Li Shimin. The Dragon King of the Jing River demanded the life of Emperor Tang to return and made Emperor Tang restless day and night, and finally, he fell seriously ill and died. Before he died, Wei Zheng said, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. I have something that can guarantee your longevity." Taizong said, "Your Majesty is seriously ill and will soon die. How can I guarantee it?" Zheng Yun said, "I have a letter. I will give it to Your Majesty and take it to the underworld to be given to Cui Jue, the judge of Fengdu." Taizong asked, "Who is Cui Jue?" Zheng Yun said, "Cui Jue was a minister in the service of the late emperor. He was first appointed as the governor of Zizhou and later promoted to the Minister of Rites. We became friends and knew each other very well. He is now dead and is now the judge of Fengdu in the underworld, in charge of the records of life and death. I often meet him in my dreams. If I give him this letter, he will let Your Majesty back, considering my humble status. He will take care of your soul and return it to the world of the living and bring you back to the imperial capital."
