Chapter 182: Crowned King

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was jubilant, but Yang Xiaoshan was not happy. Since everyone entered Tianjing City, it seems that they have suddenly relaxed, and the previous spirit of forging ahead is insufficient.

Due to the large amount of wealth obtained in Wuchang and Tianjing, the top brass of the Taiping army began to pursue a style of luxury. The guards' swords and spears are painted with vermilion lacquer, which is not practical, but looks gorgeous in appearance. The palace room where he lived was full of luxury goods and tried to be decorated. The robes and robes they wore were also made of fine silk, which was quite gorgeous.

Yang Xiaoshan also heard that a lot of gold was turned into a crown for the kings.

These are all bad signs, the world is undecided, and he begins to enjoy himself, Yang Xiaoshan is very worried.

Finally, on this day, the king of the east had time to see himself.

Yang Xiaoshan rode to the Dongwang Mansion on horseback, and was greeted by thousands of craftsmen who had expanded the Dongwang Mansion.

"What's going on? Isn't this government very good? Why do you have to tear it down and rebuild it? Yang Xiaoshan asked a heavenly soldier next to him.

"Dongwang feels that it is not grand enough, to build a higher and bigger one, but also to build a watchtower, set up a memorial arch, without so many people can not do so much work." The Celestial Soldier replied.

Yang Xiaoshan has been waiting in the military camp outside the city, but he didn't expect that the city would engage in such a big battle to carry out the "face project".

"How so? Is the Heavenly King's Mansion also expanded like this? Yang Xiaoshan said worriedly.

"But no, the other kings are all building, there are more craftsmen on the Heavenly King's side, only the Winged King seems to have just added some household supplies, and he didn't make a big move." The Heavenly Soldier replied.

"Shizi, please get on the sedan chair here." A guard at the gate of the Dongwang Mansion spotted Yang Xiaoshan and immediately came over to greet him.

"Why do you still use a sedan chair? Can't you just go? Yang Xiaoshan was puzzled, this was a sedan chair carrying eight people.

"Now the East Wangfu stipulates that you can't ride a horse in the palace, this road is far away, you are a VIP, or make a sedan chair." The guard smiled and said politely.

Yang Xiaoshan is not used to such a big style, but he can only follow the rules of the East Palace. He got off the horse, let the horse lead him to the stable, got into the sedan chair himself, and went to the side of the East King.

After entering the Dongwang Mansion, Yang Xiaoshan knew why he wanted to make a sedan chair, it was too big, about the same size as the university he went to in his previous life. There are many kinds of garden decorations, and you can see craftsmen repairing them every few steps, which is extremely luxurious.

Finally, Yang Xiaoshan walked for half an hour before arriving at the Dongwang Chamber.

"Xiaoshan, you're here." Yang Xiuqing also changed his demeanor of being diligent in political affairs in the past, and rarely played with some luxury goods left by the Manchurians in Tianjing, such as wrenches and jade belts. The crown on his head is very conspicuous, made of pure gold, and there are many rubies inlaid with it, which is very impressive.

"Father-in-law, this Dongwang Mansion is too big, and it takes so much effort to see you." Yang Xiaoshan used to see that Yang Xiuqing was in the barracks, and he could meet when he lifted up the camp tent, but now it is still so many twists and turns to meet, and the implication of his words is that he is a little detached from the masses.

"Hey, the Heavenly King's Mansion is bigger, and my Dongwang's Mansion can't be too shabby. This king also helped you choose the Marquis's Mansion, which is the mansion of Chen Kerang, the original governor of the grain road. It is also a very grand official family, and you will definitely be satisfied. This king summoned you this time to tell you this good thing, so that you don't have to suffer in the barracks outside the city. Yang Xiuqing patted Yang Xiaoshan on the shoulder, this time Yang Xiaoshan made a great contribution, and really lived up to his hopes, and broke through Nanjing before the army came.

"Father, the mansion is not important, Xiaoshan is here this time to discuss the Northern Expedition with his father. Although we have captured Nanjing, but we have not yet eliminated the Qing court, we must use the strength of the whole country to go all out to the Northern Expedition, fight to Beijing, and take Xianfeng, our great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven can be regarded as a success. Yang Xiaoshan knows history, the Kingdom of Heaven only sent 20,000 people to the north to expedition, but the defeat gave the Qing court a good chance to breathe. Therefore, the tragedy must not be repeated, and Yang Xiaoshan was determined to personally lead the army to the Northern Expedition.

"Oh? How many soldiers are you going to take with you? Yang Xiuqing felt that Xiaoshan was a little anxious.

"Of course, the more the better, the Qing court's power in the north is still very strong, we can't underestimate it, my father left an elite army to guard Tianjing, and the other teams were handed over to Xiaoshan." Yang Xiaoshan knew the difficulty of the Northern Expedition, there was no danger in the Great Plains in the north, and he would encounter the Mongolian cavalry of Seng Lingqin, and the Northern Expeditionary Army of Lin and Li was folded in the hands of this person, and it must not be taken lightly.

"Don't worry, I just sent Luo Outline to attack Zhenjiang, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang to attack Yangzhou. The Northern Expedition will be put in advance, and we must first stabilize the surrounding area of Tianjing, and then plan for others. Although Yang Xiuqing also considered the Northern Expedition, he felt that it was unnecessary to mobilize the army so much.

"Father, we haven't reached the time to relax, and we still hope to go on an early Northern Expedition to eliminate the Qing Demon, and the country has been decided." Yang Xiaoshan said bitterly.

"Don't say much about this, this king understands in his heart that the king will arrange the Northern Expedition as soon as possible. You better go back early, take Qiaomei to the mansion, and live a happy life for a few days, and this king also hopes to hold his grandson as soon as possible. Yang Xiuqing quipped.

"Thank you father for your love." Yang Xiaoshan really misses Qiaomei a little, and I haven't seen her for a few days.

"The Wen Po sent by this king said that the West Queen Mother is pregnant, and he is a widow with a posthumous child, so you let Qiao Mei talk to her when she is fine. The child in the womb is important, and he is such a lone seedling. Yang Xiuqing was a little sad, Xiao Chaogui was his good brother, but it was a pity that he didn't make it to Nanjing, otherwise he could have enjoyed it.

When Yang Xiaoshan heard that she was pregnant, her heart trembled, she didn't expect Hong Xuanjiao to conceive her child so soon, "Yes, yes." Xiaoshan vaguely agreed, this is a bit messy, Qiao Mei is his wife, Hong Xuanjiao is his own child in her belly, what kind of relationship is this.

"Okay, you go back first. I also want to tell you the good news, this king will submit the list of kings to the king in the next two days, and you are going to be crowned king. In addition, your official position should also be corrected, you have a good front army, this king proposes that you come to be the commander of the front army, the commander of the front army. Yang Xiuqing is tantamount to letting Yang Xiaoshan take over Xiao Chaogui's position.

"Xiaoshan bowed to the king of the east for his kindness." Yang Xiaoshan didn't expect that he would be crowned king so soon and get the position of military advisor. This position is very difficult, and it is a very powerful position.

Yang Xiaoshan said goodbye to the East Wangfu with joy.

Later, Yang Xiuqing met with Yang Fuqing, the prison guard.

After chatting about some military affairs, Yang Xiuqing asked intentionally or unintentionally: "What is Xiaoshan's evaluation in the army?" ”

"That's great, all the brothers want to be under the command of the prince." Yang Fuqing is telling the truth, because Yang Xiaoshan always wins battles, and meritorious service has to follow the son, which is also the consensus in the army.

"Oh, is it? Yang Xiaoshan has such a great appeal in the army? Yang Xiuqing continued to ask, but her face had already changed a little.

"Of course, last time you allocated from the Chinese army to several division commanders of the former army to fight Nanjing, and now they all refuse to return to the Chinese army, and they all say that they still want to work under the prince." Yang Fuqing didn't notice the abnormality of the East King and continued to answer.

"Okay, you go down first." Yang Xiuqing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Yang Xiaoshan's status in the army was so high, I am afraid that everyone only knows the prince and does not recognize him as the king of the east, which is not a good sign.

"Xiaoshan, do you really want to go to the Northern Expedition so actively to ask for military power, or do you have other purposes?" Yang Xiuqing said to himself that he began to have a little bit of a heart for Xiaoshan.

After Yang Fuqing went back, Yang Xiuqing took out the list of kings and changed it on it, the King of Qin, who originally belonged to Yang Xiaoshan, was replaced by Qin Rigang, and Yang Xiaoshan was renamed the King of Tongtian. Although the name of King Tongtian is loud, after all, it is a two-character king, and there is still a gap between it and the one-word king, and Xiaoshan's title actually falls behind Qin Rigang.
