Yang Xiuqing looked at Chen Chengying, who was bowing in front of him, and the already short and concise person shrank even more. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor this person who is not literate and has the power to scheming, Yang Xiuqing actually wants to use it well, but he always feels that this person has something to do with the Tianwang Mansion, so he doesn't dare to use it with confidence.

Suddenly remembered that this person's nephew, who was said to be a general under King Nan, suddenly asked: "Vice Prime Minister Chen, your nephew who changed his name to Chen Yucheng turned out to be Chen Picheng, right?" I heard that now he is leading tens of thousands of holy soldiers, which is equivalent to the general system, right? ”

As soon as Chen Chengying heard that the East King asked about his nephew, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly replied: "East King Mingjian, Pi Cheng, that little beast is young and ignorant, and he was deceived and separated from heaven. His subordinates immediately wrote to him, urging him to return to heaven. ”

Yang Xiuqing laughed and said, "Brother Chengying, don't be nervous. If you can bring your nephew back to Heaven, this king will reward you well and promote him to the rank of Inspector, and become the youngest Inspector in my kingdom of Heaven! Speaking of which, it was also a mistake by this king, who didn't find him a talent! ”

After laughing, his face suddenly turned blank, and he said to Chen Chengying, who had just put his heart down: "You are going to the Heavenly King's Mansion, do you know when the Heavenly King is going to move into the newly built Heavenly King's Mansion?" ”

Chen Chengying's mouth was bitter, and he secretly said that I am a little deputy prime minister, and tell the king of the east the information of the king of heaven, if the king of heaven knows, it will definitely be a bad thing.

But the king of the east asked, and he was the person under the direct jurisdiction of the king of the east, so he couldn't help but reply, so he could only stubbornly say: "Back to the king of the east, Cheng Ying didn't know." However, when he went to see the Heavenly King, he found that Meng Deen was reporting to the Heavenly King about the new Heavenly King's Mansion, and it seemed that the Heavenly King was not very satisfied, but he said that he would move into the newly built Heavenly King's Mansion tomorrow. But it seems that the new Heavenly King's Mansion will continue to be built, and the Heavenly King has also put forward three requirements, and the specific subordinates are unknown. ”

When Yang Xiuqing heard this, he nodded and expressed his satisfaction. Chen Chengying can tell himself this, which shows that he is still a person who understands current affairs and chooses himself.

However, it was not enough for the Heavenly King to build a huge Heavenly King's Mansion, and he also put forward three requirements to continue to build. Thinking of what Zeng Shuiyuan said again, Yang Xiuqing couldn't help but feel angry, Lao Tzu saved it and spent it for you? No, Lao Tzu also has to build the East Palace.

Suddenly, he was already dissatisfied with this Dongwang Mansion, which was on the verge of the Jiangnan camp and was often harassed, and now he found a reason to rebuild an East Wangfu.

Yang Xiuqing ordered: "This king has decided, and he will also relocate and build a new East Palace!" Cheng Ying, you are the head of the internal officials, and you are familiar with all parts of Tianjing City. This king will order you to find a place and assist the king to build the king's east king's mansion together. ”

Chen Chengying was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank him. He knew that the uncle Yang Xiuqing was talking about was Yang Qingshan, the uncle who raised Yang Xiuqing. The king of the east can let him assist the uncle Yang Qingshan in the construction of the East Palace, which is an incomparable trust in him.

"Dongwang, the Shangjiang examination shed in the Jubaomen, as well as the Xingjia Garden next to it, if they are connected as a whole, the area and location are very suitable, I don't know what Dongwang thinks of this place?" Chen Chengying deserved to be an internal official, and after thinking about it for a while, where was the suitable place to build the Dongwang Mansion in Tianjing City, he said where it was.

"Not right here!" Yang Xiuqing frowned.

Chen Chengying saw that the sycophants were wrong, and hurriedly continued to think, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said: "Dongwang, on the Huangnigang with a high terrain in the west gate of the Han Dynasty, the mansion of He Qixing, the former Qing Demon Shandong Salt Transport Envoy on the front street of Huben Cang, is thousands of acres wide, with an excellent location and high terrain. I don't know what the East King wants? ”

"It's a great place to be!" Yang Xiuqing also had an impression of this place, nodded and said: "That is the case, from tomorrow onwards, you will cooperate with Guobo to lead 3,000 people to the former Ming Palace to dismantle the bricks, stones and wooden beams, and start building the East King Mansion!" ”

"Around the king's palace, it is necessary to build a tall yellow wall, more than three feet wide and two feet high, and use broken magnetic cloth to top the wall to prevent people from climbing over." Yang Xiuqing directly talked about the requirements for the construction of the palace: "The surrounding six or seven miles, including the palace, can be included in the palace, including the idle people, all moved to other places. ”

Chen Chengying happily accepted the order and left.

…….

However, it was said that Zeng Shuiyuan, the left prime minister of the East Palace, went out of the East Palace, went to the Dingtian Marquis' Mansion to find Qin Rigang, and conveyed the message of the East King.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied Tianjing, the king of heaven and the king of the east were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, although Qin Rigang also served as the prime minister of Tianguan, but at the same time, he was also awarded the title of true loyalty to the country and the marquis of heaven, and he also had his own Hou mansion.

Qin Rigang, who had worked hard, married 3 Hou ladies in a row, reaching the target limit of the edict issued by the Heavenly King. In a flash, after capturing Tianjing City, he had been idle for 2 months, and now the East King has a task assigned to him, so he is naturally overjoyed. Now that he has been crowned a marquis, he has accumulated more credit, and if he goes further, he will be crowned king. Once crowned king, according to the edict of the king of heaven, he can marry 6 princesses.

Thinking that he could hug the 6 delicate beauties and sing songs night after night, Qin Rigang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Ming Zeng Shuiyuan about the intention of the East King to send him to meet the foreigners, and then urged him to negotiate with the foreigners quickly.

But it turned out that he asked himself to negotiate with foreigners about buying foreign guns! Qin Rigang understood the East King's thoughts.

Oh, yes. Who would have thought that the original king of Nan, a district of more than 1,000 Taiping troops, led thousands of weak pai tails, all the way to occupy southern Hunan, and then went straight to Liangguang, and was so overwhelming that even Guangzhou was captured.

Some time ago, I heard that Lai Wenhong, the uncle of the Second Kingdom, chased all the way from Guangzhou to Tianjing, and came to report that the king of Nan was coerced by the congregation of heaven and earth and could no longer command the Taiping army in Liangguang. For this news, many old people in Guangxi will be skeptical.

But Qin Rigang just sneered!

He knew best about King Nan that he was recommended by King Nan to join the God Worship Sect. King Nan has a seemingly mild personality, but in fact he is tough and strong, and he attaches the most importance to the worship of God, so it is impossible to let the congregation of heaven and earth control the Taiping army, let alone let Luo Xuan and others threaten him.

The only explanation is that the king of the south has long been self-reliant!

Qin Rigang remembers very well that he started from Quanzhou City, and along the way, King Nan mobilized Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and other generals to put them under his command, and took the initiative to ask the queen of the palace to lead a group of card tails, the purpose of which was to break away from the army of the kingdom of heaven and find an opportunity to stand on his own! Looking back now, it's already obvious!

It's ridiculous that those old brothers in the kingdom of heaven are still the same as that stupid uncle of the second kingdom, thinking that they have wronged the king of the south.

Of course, this is also the fact that the King of the South is hiding too deeply! It is also the result of his long-standing popularity.

Qin Rigang thought about it later, but he also understood Nanwang's approach. Sometimes, in the dead of night, he sometimes asked himself, if he had changed himself, would he do the same as Nanwang? The answer is yes!

Originally, this God Worship Sect was founded by King Nan, and the fruits of his labor were picked by the younger brother he recruited, and Qin Rigang understood that kind of mood very well. However, Qin Rigang is a person who knows the times, and whoever is strong, he will listen to whomever he wants.

When I get to the riverside soon, I will meet the foreigners. Qin Rigang cleaned up his mood and secretly thought about how to complete the task assigned by the East King.

As one of the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Kingdom, Qin Rigang was qualified to know some news. Recently, I heard a report from the details that the king of Nan of Liangguang directly changed the original Taiping army under his command to what is the Chinese captive army, and went out to fight everywhere and defeated the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After a careful investigation, it was the king of Nan who bought thousands of foreign guns from the foreigners, which greatly strengthened the combat power of his army.

Thinking of his task, Qin Rigang couldn't help but clench his fists. It seems that the purpose of Dongwang to send himself to meet with foreigners is obviously to go to the foreign guns. In any case, I will also buy a large sum of foreign guns!

Qin Rigang and Zeng Shuiyuan, escorted by dozens of Taiping soldiers, came to a British warship docked on the Yangtze River.

Escorted by dozens of foreign soldiers, several foreigners had disembarked and greeted the two of them by the river, the leader of whom was a middle-aged foreigner with blonde hair, who was the British minister to China, Wen Han.

It turned out that some time ago, Wen Han, the French minister Bourblon, the US commissioner to China, Marshali, and others, heard that the Taiping army had broken through from Wuchang and captured the city of Nanjing, so they immediately rushed from Hong Kong Island and Macao to Guangzhou to meet Feng Yunshan. After that, he hurriedly took the warship "Halmis", which had been transferred from the Governor's Office in the Strait of Malacca, to Tianjing and asked to meet the King of Heaven and the King of the East.

Wen Han also sent an official letter to the Heavenly King Dongwang, informing him of his intentions, stating that he had come to discuss matters and was not to help the Manchus in the war, so the Heavenly Naval Division and the coastal forts allowed them to dock.

Qin Rigang is the marquis, and naturally the negotiation is dominated by him, but Zeng Shuiyuan is a confidant of the king of the east, and his opinions cannot be ignored. So, the two agreed on a division of labor, because Zeng Shuiyuan was a good eloquent, and Zeng Shuiyuan discussed state affairs with all foreigners, and Qin Rigang negotiated with them about buying foreign guns.

Wen Han's translator, Midile, first introduced the identities of the two to the two, and then put forward the purpose of Wen Han's visit to Tianjing: first, to affirm the neutrality of Britain and the governments of the world; Second, I would like to ask about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's diplomatic attitude toward Britain, France, the United States, and other countries, and what its policy will be when it marches into Shanghai in the future. Third, the British Minister Wen Han, as the representative, wanted to meet directly with the Heavenly King Dongwang to discuss cooperation between the two countries.

Zeng Shuiyuan said that the Kingdom of Heaven welcomes the neutrality of all countries, but at the same time, he also said: "If you help the Qing Demon, it will be a mistake, because the Heavenly Army is unstoppable, even if you help it, it is useless!" ”

As for the attitude of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom towards various countries, "we will not be at peace with each other in the future, and we can also become close friends," but when we march into Shanghai, "we can also allow you to evacuate in batches in an orderly manner without harming your foreign brothers." ”

As for the third question, Zeng Shuiyuan said solemnly: "The King of Heaven has long had a holy message: 'The King of Heaven is Allah of all nations, and everyone who comes to see him must observe the etiquette system. Wait for the first time to make it clear, who you are, what kind of business you do, and where you come from, and then you will see you in the court! ’”

When Wen Han heard that the Heavenly King's holy oracle contained the words "Allah for all the nations under heaven", he was immediately displeased, so he took out a copy of the "Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing" and handed it to Zeng Shuiyuan to bring back, saying: "Your country needs to recognize the treaty rights that my British Empire obtained from the Qing Kingdom!" ”

Zeng Shuiyuan was furious, this foreigner despised the kingdom of heaven, was extremely rude, and even wanted to put the traitorous treaty signed by the Qing demon on the head of the kingdom of heaven! However, because of the consideration of Qin Rigang's firearms trade, he did not have an attack on the spot.

It's just that I'm going to go back and report to the king of the east and let the king of the east decide. (To be continued.) )
