"Concubine congratulations to King Qi for stabilizing the situation!" In the back account of the new headquarters, Qi Hongyi congratulated Wei Zeshi with a smile.

At this time, Wei Ze's troops captured the north gate of Tianjing City, and the military camp of Zhang Yingchen's troops was already very close to the north gate. The General Staff immediately planned the new area, setting up not only a defensive line, but also a new headquarters and staff in a safe position.

Wei Ze is really worried about his wife and father-in-law. In case the East King or the North King caught them and used them to threaten Wei Ze, Wei Ze really couldn't show Liu Bang's hooligan spirit. Xiang Yu arrested Liu Bang's father, and Liu Bang dared to shout: We are righteous brothers, and my father is your father. You cooked your father, remember to give me a bowl of soup to drink.

When his wife entered the barracks safe and sound, Wei Ze wanted to go up and give a hug, but there were too many people around, so he gave up. Seeing that Qi Hongyi didn't make any crying and crying, he gave a generous salute. Wei Ze could only say: "Let Madame worry!" ”

At this time, there was no one else around, and Qi Hongyi couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what King Qi thinks of the East King and the Heavenly King and others?" ”

"What do you think?" Wei Ze couldn't help but scratch his head, his mood was relaxed, and his brain hole was also opened, and Wei Ze finally came up with a comment, "A group of farmers who haven't cleaned the sorghum flowers on their heads, what do you think I can think of them?" ”

At this time, in the Dongwang camp in the east of the city, Wei Ze called "the peasants who have not cleaned the sorghum flowers on their heads" are in a meeting. Not long ago, the group of peasants in the Tianwang Mansion who Wei Ze called "the sorghum flowers on their heads have not been cleaned" ended the meeting, and Chen Chengying immediately left the Tianwang Mansion and came to the Dongwang camp to catch up.

Chen Chengying didn't know about Wei Ze's vicious evaluation, and if he knew, he would at least retort that most of the participants in the Heavenly King's Mansion meeting were not farmers. Hong Xiuquan was born in Xiucai, the family of Wei Changhui, the king of the north, was a wealthy man in the local area, and although Qin Rigang was poor, he was not a farmer, but a worker.

Even on the side of the Eastern King, there are not many peasants in the Six Shangshu, but most of the existing relatives of the Eastern King are peasants.

However, if it is not a biting explanation, but from the point that Wei Ze really refers to, that is to say, these people are not from the point of view of the authorities, the people on the side of the East Wangfu are obviously inexperienced people. Chen Chengying is a fairly old one, and by 1855, he had not been on the road of "politics" for five years. Whether it is the relatives of the East King, or the six Shangshu, it has only been two or three years for all these people to obtain their current status.

At this time, the weakness of these inexperienced people was completely exposed. Without the backbone of Yang Xiuqing, the first thing these upper echelons did was internal division. The contradiction of internal division was of course planted in the era of Yang Xiuqing. Before Yang Xiuqing died, the Yang family should have obeyed the command of the Zhushangshu of the Eastern Prince's Mansion in the system. In actual implementation, these people relied on Yang Xiuqing's authority and did not take the Shangshu of Dongwangfu in their eyes at all. Even though Yang Xiuqing is dead, the Yang family still insists that they want to be above the six Shangshu.

However, there are many people in the six books now. The ceremony of sealing the long live is not only very important to Yang Xiuqing, but also extremely important to the Yang family. The Yang family is finally going to produce a long live and an emperor. As the Yang family, he is naturally obliged to play an important role in the ceremony, and he is even more obliged to guard the emperor of the Yang family. During this time, most of Yang Xiuqing's relatives moved into Yang Xiuqing's Dongwang Mansion to live, and they were wiped out in Wei Changhui's raid.

However, the few remaining relatives of the Yang family are each with heavy soldiers. Even if the number of the six Shangshu is large, the balance of power between the two factions has rebalanced the imbalance caused by the difference in numbers.

At this time, the candidate who can be accepted by both sides to speak for the time being is Chen Chengying, the prime minister's Dongwang Mansion. Chen Chengying said impassionedly, "The current situation is actually very good!" ”

After saying this, the people below all looked at Chen Chengying with strange eyes. After the East King was killed, what was the situation to speak of?

Chen Chengying continued as if he didn't see everyone's reproachful gazes, "Although the East King is gone, we still hold the authority of Tianjing City. I went to see the Heavenly King, and the Heavenly King said that he did not know anything about this life, and that he still needed to inquire about it. However, the king of heaven said that if the king of the north really killed the king of the east, the king of heaven would send a decree to order people to crusade against the king of the north! ”

After saying this, there was a brilliance in the eyes of the six scholars. Chen Chengying's words are very skillful, what is called "sending a decree to order people to crusade"? Whoever is ordained is the successor of the king of the east. At least he will become the nominal leader of the East Palace. Now that the East King is dead, the East King Mansion is still the administrative center of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan is still a puppet of the East King Mansion. Whoever is in charge of the East Wangfu may become the next Yang Xiuqing.

And Yang Xiuqing's relatives didn't understand what this meant, Chen Degui shouted: "Do you still need to check to kill the King of the North?" I'll wait now to raise the troops and horses and kill the king of the north!" If no one wants to go, I'll go! ”

This remark shocked Chen Chengying's heart, and he hurried back with only one purpose, that is, he could not let Wei Ze seize the leadership of the East Prince's Mansion no matter what. Thinking of Wei Ze, Chen Chengying had a strong sense of remorse for being cocooned.

Before Wei Ze left Tianjing City to go east, Chen Chengying questioned Wei Ze on behalf of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East. At that time, Wei Ze was like a greedy person who was eagerly looking forward to Yang Xiuqing's long live, and after Yang Xiuqing took Hong Xiuquan's place, he would be crowned an official and a knight.

After learning that Wei Ze had only led more than forty guards back to Beijing, Chen Chengying did not take Wei Ze to heart. First, his attention was all focused on attacking and killing Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, and second, these forty or so guards were not counted in the tens of thousands of troops in Tianjing City. The most important thing is that Wei Ze has always been in a foreign position, and he has no foundation in Tianjing City. For Chen Chengying, who is familiar with the situation in Tianjing City, he can restrain Wei Ze with a casual move of his wrist.

What he didn't expect was that Wei Ze was as cunning as a ghost, and seemed to live in the Qi Palace, but he sneaked out at night. And after Yang Xiuqing died, he immediately captured the elite of more than 10,000 people, and then took control of the north gate. It is precisely because he did not calculate this that Chen Chengying's original plan became a cocoon.

Now the subordinates of the East King are tightly surrounding the North Palace, which is also the result of the original thought. But what he didn't expect at that time was that Wei Ze actually mastered an elite army of 10,000 people and firmly controlled the north gate. No matter who wins or loses between the East Wangfu and the North King, Wei Ze will be able to benefit from the fish.

The purpose of Chen Chengying running back to the Dongwang Mansion for a meeting was to make the Dongwang Mansion aware of this fact. Hearing Chen Degui shouting to lead his troops to destroy the troops of Wei Changhui, the king of the North, Chen Chengying asked: "With our troops, Wei Changhui's little soldiers are difficult to fly. Don't talk about fighting, even if you are sleepy, you will trap them to death. It's just that I'm not the only one in Tianjing City now, but Wei Ze, the king of Qi, is also in Tianjing City. Now the king of the east has been killed, and the king of the north is the murderer of the king of the east. King Qi is a figure whose status is only above the Heavenly King and the Winged King! ”

After saying this, Chen Chengying was still afraid that Yang Xiuqing's relatives would not be able to understand the subtle meaning here, so he continued: "If we go according to the current situation, as long as the King of Qi is still in Tianjing City, I will kill the King of the North, I am afraid that this credit will be credited to the account of the King of Qi!" ”

When he said it so bluntly, Chen Degui immediately jumped up and opposed it as if he was going to fight in the village. Although Chen Degui only aroused the disgust of the six scholars, they were also unwilling to let Wei Ze pick the fruit behind.

Liu Shaoting is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Eastern Prince's Mansion and an important planner of Yang Xiuqing. He said bluntly to Chen Chengying: "Zuo Tianhou, now that the King of Qi has a heavy army, we are afraid that there is no way to let the King of Qi withdraw from Tianjing City." ”

Chen Chengying stared at Liu Shaoting without flinching, "King Qi is not only this 10,000 elites, but also more than 40,000 people of King Qi in Changzhou and Zhenjiang. In just five days, these soldiers and horses will be able to rush to the city of Tianjing. We are now only 40,000 soldiers and horses in Tianjing City, and the north gate has been occupied by the king of Qi. King Qi is now the third person in the kingdom of heaven, and when he gathers his 50,000 troops, who will have the final say in the capital at that time? ”

The grim facts were thrown in front of them, and everyone was speechless. They are too accustomed to the feeling of coercion when Yang Xiuqing was alive. These people are only now manifested, and their power is actually limited. Their past scenery is completely based on Yang Xiuqing's strength. When Yang Xiuqing is gone, in terms of strength and legal status, there are too many people above them.

Seeing that the person who was trying to be an ostrich temporarily closed his mouth, Chen Chengying said to everyone: "Everyone, the top priority at this time is that we need to twist our hearts in one place and work hard in one place. Although the King of Qi is powerful, he is only this 10,000 horses now, if we don't attack the North King first, mobilize troops to force the King of Qi at the North Gate. I went to see King Qi in person, and I could promise him benefits in the future, but I also have to make it clear that the position of the East King, the commander of the Heavenly Kingdom, must be inherited by the people of the East Palace! If King Qi doesn't agree, then we won't hesitate to fight! ”

When Chen Chengying mentioned the "Heavenly Kingdom Righteous Military Division", the eyes of all the remaining Eastern Kings lit up. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is basically a system that does not distinguish between civil and military, but in this system there is a seemingly additional existence zài. That is the "military division". But this "military advisor" is the only real core of the official position. Whoever can become the commander of the Heavenly Kingdom will naturally gain the power of the Prime Minister in the affairs of the Heavenly Kingdom. Compared with this military division, the King of Qi and the King of Yan are not worth mentioning. A prince like King Yan of Qi is nothing if he doesn't give soldiers and horses. The position of military advisor itself comes with correspondingly powerful authority.

Chen Chengying looked at the flickering eyes of the people around him, and knew that his plan had finally succeeded. As the core bait of Chen Chengying's strategy, the position of "Heavenly Kingdom Commander" has an advantage, that is, this position does not have any impact on the identity of the person who holds it. Even if his original position was just an ordinary soldier, once he became a regular army division, he could immediately give orders.

The biggest disadvantage of these people in the Eastern Prince's Mansion now is that their official position is completely at a disadvantage. The six Shangshu of the Dongwang Mansion could be arrogant when the Dongwang was alive, but these six Shangshu were the private ministers of the Dongwang himself, and the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom did not recognize the official status of these six Shangshu. The highest official status among these people is only a few days, and it cannot be compared with Wei Ze, Wei Changhui and others.

After Chen Chengying's "reminder", the remnants of the Eastern King, who were originally not interested in dominating the Heavenly Kingdom, suddenly realized that they were not without opportunities. All ambitions are ignited at this moment.

Even if it is the weather or the inspection, as long as they can be crowned as the prime minister of the heavenly kingdom, they are the real powerful people below the heavenly king and above the kings. Coupled with the soldiers and horses in the hands of these people, there should be no problem in maintaining the Dongwang Mansion. Thinking about it according to this line of thought, Wei Changhui, the king of the north who killed the king of the east, was not the biggest enemy at this time. The biggest enemy who threatens the East King's Mansion to inherit the power of the East King is none other than Wei Ze, the King of Qi!
