The Journey to the West, as one of the four classical novels, has been rewritten and remade into many film and television works, among which the Monkey King's brand image is popular and favored by many people. Compared with Wukong, the Jade Emperor, as the biggest leader in the celestial world, needs to be stunned by the brand image in film and television dramas. He was portrayed as a weak man in film and television dramas, but in fact the Jade Emperor was not incompetent. We often see that the fundamental reason for the brand image from now on is that the internal strength of the jade emperor's own cultivation limits his personal behavior. Secondly, he doesn't care about some small things at all.
It took the Jade Emperor tens of millions of years to make a positive result. Although its overall strength is not up to the top level, it is no problem to solve ordinary people. We often see the image of a weak brand jade emperor in some film and television works, but we must know that people who can sit in this position are not fuel-efficient lamps. The jade emperor often behaves so cautiously. The fundamental reason is that he once practiced an internal skill called "golden mouth and jade words" to make everything he said come true. In order to ensure a long life, the jade emperor can look so cautious.
When the Jade Emperor responded to the Monkey King's importune, he originally wanted to suppress it in one fell swoop, but in the end, because of the request of Taibai Venus, he did not forcibly suppress it. As far as the Jade Emperor is concerned, he is not afraid of Wukong at all. In his mind, the little monkey won't make any waves no matter how noisy he is, as long as he doesn't make any noise in front of himself, that's no problem. From this point of view, the "cowardice" expressed by the Jade Emperor is not really cowardice, but just exhaustion.
