On January 22, 1855, Wei Ze returned to Tianjing City. He naturally had to go to see Yang Xiuqing first, and as soon as he saw Yang Xiuqing, Wei Ze immediately knelt down and saluted, and said loudly: "Long live!" Your ......, Wei Ze is here! ”

watched too many TV movies, and Wei Ze deliberately lengthened the word "minister" to emphasize, which really sounded like it was very pious.

Yang Xiuqing originally had a tense face, looking preoccupied. Seeing Wei Ze salute like this, he first showed a slightly stunned look, and then his face became relaxed. In the end, Yang Xiuqing couldn't help but laugh a few times.

However, Yang Xiuqing is Yang Xiuqing after all, even if he is relaxed and smiling, he quickly recovers the severity of his usual days. Yang Xiuqing waved his hand, "Wei Ze, get up!" It's not that time yet. ”

Wei Ze didn't continue his performance, he immediately stood up and waited for Yang Xiuqing to continue.

Yang Xiuqing pondered for a moment, and then said: "When the long live ceremony comes, you stand in the first row, the first place." You should ask the Ministry of Rites about this. ”

"Your ......, follow the will of Long Live it!" Weeser replied cleanly.

Obviously, Yang Xiuqing didn't have anything to talk about with Wei Zeshan at this time, just after meeting like this, Yang Xiuqing asked Wei Ze to retreat. When Wei Ze went to see the Book of Rites, he was completely relieved. Yang Xiuqing didn't regard Wei Ze as a confidant who could operate the conspiracy, so at this busy time, Wei Ze only had to follow the arrangements of Yang Xiuqing's group. If he really treated Wei Ze as his own, Yang Xiuqing would not just let Wei Ze bring dozens of people back to Tianjing City. At the very least, Wei Ze had to lead thousands of soldiers and horses to take charge of some aspect of defense in Tianjing City.

Weser didn't care about that, and there was nothing wrong with not getting involved. After meeting the Ministry of Rites, Wei Ze first listened to the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites. How to stand, how to salute, how to call it. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was also heartbroken by this, the whole step was extremely cumbersome, Wei Ze asked for a pen and paper, and wrote down everything he had to do, what he wanted to say, and what he should pay attention to. It took half an hour.

And after the Ministry of Rites Shangshu finished speaking to Wei Ze, he couldn't help but complain, "King Qi, it would be nice if everyone else was like you." After I tell you, you'll be able to understand. Others don't take this etiquette seriously at all. They all thought about how to make the East King happy. They don't want to think about it, if the ceremony is messy, can the king of the east be happy? Alas, if the king of the east is unhappy and blames him, how can I bear it? ”

Wei Ze didn't dare to listen to these complaints, he saw an opportunity, and hurriedly left the Ministry of Rites.

The first night, Wei Ze lived in the Qi Palace. During the day of the next day, he went to visit the Dongwang cronies with Chen Delong as agreed. As Wei Ze thought, most of these people were busy and didn't see Wei Ze at all.

Only Chen Degui in the north of the city saw Wei Ze, walking in Chen De's barracks, Wei Ze rode on a tall horse, although he had a conversation with Chen Delong, but Wei Ze's attention was more focused on the troops in the barracks. Those soldiers Wei Ze didn't know him, but a considerable number of the officers looked familiar. It's just that their military uniforms have completely changed, and the characteristics of the military uniforms of Weize's troops are undoubtedly "standing collars", "ranks" and "badges". Now that these accessories are gone, the featureless military uniform of the Taiping Army makes Wei Ze really helpless to look at.

But what has changed is the appearance of these officers and soldiers, who, after all, are highly trained troops, standing, walking. In the eyes of the old soldier, every detail can see that his unit is different from other armies. This is a unit that was once well trained, but now it has not been systematically trained for a long time.

In this team, there are still a group of people who are in good shape, and these faces make Wei Ze feel a little familiar. Some of them he could even name. They were all staff members, and many of them had their test papers changed by Wei Ze. Walking side by side with Chen Delong, Wei Ze couldn't talk to these people. He can only keep beckoning to everyone. It can be seen that these people also saw Wei Ze, although they were surprised, but there was more joy and hope on the faces of these people.

Chen Degui didn't have any special closeness to Wei Ze, and even had a faint sense of confrontation. However, Chen Delong was pulling the relationship in the middle, and he looked very hard. Wei Ze didn't care, what should have been done had already been done, and all he had to do now was wait.

When I got home, I waited until it was dark and the curfew began. Wei Ze took the guards and his wife Qi Hongyi out of the house. With the warrant he had received from Chen Delong, Wei Ze didn't care about the gang that enforced the curfew. The group went straight to Weze's father-in-law's residence.

The reason for this trip is very good, Wei Ze wants to take his wife home to save his family. As for why he came out at the time of curfew, Wei Ze gave Chen Delong the reason, "I have to put up a guard of honor when I go out, and now the king of the east wants to be sealed long live, where is my turn to put on a score in the capital today?" Chen Delong admired Wei Ze's caution very much, and took the initiative to help Wei Ze get a warrant.

Qi Yuchang didn't expect Wei Ze to arrive at his house at night, so he hurriedly greeted him. When you become a bibliophile, this house is quite large. Two rooms were vacated for Weeser's guards to rest. Qi Yuchang and Wei Ze began to talk in the back hall.

"King Qi, why did you come to me at this time?" This is the most incomprehensible thing for Qi Yuchang.

"I'm just afraid that something will happen to the capital this day." Wei Ze felt that even if he didn't say it, Qi Hongyi would not sit idly by and watch her father Qi Yuchang be involved in such an incident without knowing it.

No matter how shocked Qi Yuchang's expression was, Wei Ze said: "And I want to ask my father-in-law one thing this time, you said that there are many literati from Tianjing City in the Dongwang Mansion as advisors to the Dongwang. I also asked my father-in-law to write down the names of these people. ”

Of course, Qi Yuchang could see that Wei Ze was not joking. The matter of Feng Wansui is so big, and Qi Yuchang has also read so many books, it is easy to think of something happening. He saw with his own eyes that Yang Xiuqing had taken such tough measures to suppress his opponents, if Yang Xiuqing could really deter the entire imperial court, why would he take such measures?

"When will that be?" Qi Yuchang tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and said in a relatively peaceful tone.

"It's going to be done before the ceremony of sealing the long live." Wei Ze replied, "According to the time set by the Ministry of Rites, the day after tomorrow will be the grand ceremony of the East King's long live." At this time, the subordinates of the East King are busy with this matter, and the city is all about this matter, but it is an opportunity. If the ceremony of longevity is over and the title of the king of the east has been decided, then what is there to fight for? Whoever dares to make a move against the king of the east is a rebel against the kingdom of heaven! ”

"Really?" Qi Yuchang didn't believe too much in Wei Ze's judgment.

"Father-in-law! I'm afraid you think of the present as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, right? In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the covenants made between countries were changed day by day, and all countries were waiting to stab their allies in the back, and there was a tradition at that time. Now in the kingdom of heaven, it is said that the king of heaven, the king of the east, the king of the north, and the king of wings are all one family. They are all gods of the family. As long as the king of heaven participates in the ceremony, he canons the king of the east and hails it as long live, this is an oracle! The officers and soldiers below felt that this was a matter between them, and as long as the edict was issued to the Quartet, the status of the king of the east would be unshakable. Whoever dares to move the king of the east again will be a rebel! ”

Speaking of this, Wei Ze suddenly understood something, and he laughed out loud, "I see! In the eyes of my father-in-law, we are just thieves. Ha ha! ”

Listening to Wei Ze's words, Qi Yuchang's face turned white with fright. However, seeing that Wei Ze was not hostile, and in what Wei Ze just said, it really didn't show that Wei Ze had any respect for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The frightened look quickly disappeared from Qi Yuchang's face, and he took a sip of his teacup. When he first picked up the teacup, Qi Yuchang's hand was still a little shaky. After drinking this tea, Qi Yuchang had already regained his calm. He said with a straight face: "There is no owner in the magic world, and the virtuous and powerful live in it." I am a person who reads the books of sages, and it is really impossible for me to believe in any gods and goddesses. ”

"Does the father-in-law think that my son-in-law can I be a virtuous and powerful person from time to time?" Weser laughed.

These words showed Wei Ze's attitude nakedly, Qi Yuchang's eyes were round, and his eyeballs almost popped out. After a long while, he finally regained his composure, and then asked, "If King Qi really has this intention, then why should he risk his life?" ”

"If I kill the East King and the Heavenly King, others will definitely not think that I, Wei Ze, have to do this, but think that I, Wei Ze, have betrayed the East King and betrayed the Heavenly King. I don't need the Manchus to fight, and all the people outside the kingdom of heaven will not let me go. I don't want to end up like this. This is one of them. ”

Hearing Wei Ze's analysis, Qi Yuchang nodded slightly.

"Second, many of my parents and sisters are in this capital city. If I take these men out of Heaven, they will not be at ease, and they will leave me with countless troubles. Weser said slowly. As the leader of the First Army, Wei Ze never thought that when he gave an order, the troops could serve Wei Ze regardless of his father, mother, brothers and sisters. When the Supreme Commander completely ignores the relatives of his subordinates, completely ignores the interests of his subordinates. And what reason did the subordinates have to sacrifice their lives for the Supreme Commander?

"Third, if I can't be in this heavenly capital, let others control the center. When the time comes, what's going on in Tianjing City, aren't you letting them talk nonsense? My subordinates knew that I wasn't in Tianjing City at all, so how could they really believe what I said? At that time, I could only listen to what others said. If I am in Tianjing City, what I say to my subordinates, they can believe it. Confucius said, the people cannot stand without faith! When Shang Ying changed the law, didn't he have to set up a pole at the gate of the city now, saying that whoever could carry the pole away would give fifty gold? So the purpose of doing this is not to win the trust of the people! ”

Qi Yuchang nodded again and again after listening to Wei Ze's words, but he still couldn't help but say: "But this is a risk, and it is ......."

"Haha! Father-in-law, you are also a person who has read so many books, those emperors who founded the country, who got the world in peace and stability? Dayu treats the water, that is because he is in good health, and it is not uncommon for him to be really infected and not cured. Shang Tang was once imprisoned, and King Zhou survived several near-deaths. In order to escape for his life, Han Gaozu threw his wife and children from the car, Cao Cao cut his beard and abandoned his robe, and Sima Yi was almost burned to death in Hulu Valley. The Sui Dynasty was chaotic at that time, after a hundred battles between Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son, if Li Shimin did not move the Xuanwumen Change, could his brother let him go? Song Taizu was born and died for the Chai family, and how firmly believed that Ming Taizu would have starved to death in prison without Ma Niangniang wrapping the cake in his chest. ”

Listening to Wei Ze mix historical records, novels, stories, and folklore, Qi Yuchang, who has read a lot, didn't think it was ridiculous. He just felt that Wei Ze was more like he was cheering himself up.

In fact, when Wei Ze said those three reasons, Qi Yuchang already understood that when Wei Ze took his great cause as his goal, he could only make such a choice. It's not a risk, it's something that has to be done by Weese himself.

And Wei Ze's subsequent statement shows that Wei Ze is not a fearless person, and Wei Ze also feels the risk in it.

"King Qi, do you want to take all those people from the Eastern Palace?" Qi Yuchang asked.

"Let's take it first. If they won't follow me, then I can't do anything. It's up to them to choose. Weese replied.

Without asking how Wei Ze was going to rely on his dozens of guards to take so many people away, Qi Yuchang said: "I'll start writing the list now." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law! It's getting late. I'm going to go sleep for a while. Weeser said.

"Good! King Qi, please take care of yourself! Qi Yuchang replied very cheerfully.

Back in Qi Hongyi's room, Qi Hongyi was sitting at the table. Seeing Wei Ze come in, Qi Hongyi poured Wei Ze a glass of water. Wei Ze drank it in one gulp, and then did not take off his clothes, kicked off his shoes and lay directly on the bed.

Qi Hongyi covered him with a quilt, and then also pulled a quilt with Yi and sat next to Wei Ze. She whispered, "You go to sleep first, I'll keep a vigil for you!" ”

"Hmm!" Wei Ze answered, but he didn't say anything more.

The two had already discussed Wei Ze's trip, and when Qi Hongyi first learned of Wei Ze's plan, he was also anxious and incomparable. But after entering Tianjing City, although Qi Hongyi didn't smile, she didn't show any anxious and panicked expression. Back at her parents' house, Qi Hongyi was even able to smile when facing her father and younger brother.

On this dangerous night, Qi Hongyi didn't talk nonsense, and tried her best to make Wei Ze worry less. Wei Ze lay beside his wife, feeling very stable. He wanted to sleep, but at this time he was in a stable mood and soon fell asleep.

The sound of gunfire outside, the feeling of Qi Hongyi pushing Wei Ze's shoulder, and the sound of the guards walking quickly woke Wei Ze up almost at the same time. The first thought on his mind when he fell asleep was to wake up refreshed. Sitting up, Weser felt refreshed.

Qi Hongyi had already lit the light at this time, and then opened the door. The captain of the guard walked in quickly, "Chief of the General Staff, it seems that something has happened!" ”

"No matter how much, hurry up and eat. Prepare your weapons. Wei Ze ordered.

In fact, there are many steps in the preparation before the war, and no matter how anxious you are, these preparations are indispensable. Eat, polish the gun, check the bullets and fire caps, and rearrange the clothes, belts, leggings, and cloth shoes. By the time Weezer's troops were fully prepared, and even the most basic body stretches, leg presses, and other movements, the sky was already dark.

Wei Ze left five guards to be responsible for defending Qi Yuchang's house, in fact, these five people were not so much to defend against people from outside from attacking Qi Yuchang's house, but to prevent the Qi family from running out and leaking the news. Just as Wei Ze was about to take the troops out, Qi Hongyi came out with a big blow. This is a very ordinary big coat, which is covered by Wei Ze's yellow clothes, so it can be slightly covered.

Tie Wei Ze's belt, Qi Hongyi stared at Wei Ze and said, "Concubine body wishes the officials success!" ”

At this time, the troops left Qi Yuchang's house and waited in line outside. Weser gave his wife a smile he didn't know what it meant, and strode out the door.

Only a few steps away, Wei Ze's mind was fully engaged in what he was going to do next. Qi Hongyi and Qi Yuchang disappeared from Wei Ze's mind in a moment. Even Wei Ze himself no longer existed in his heart.

"Let's go!" After Wei Ze got on the horse, he said!
