One by one, the princes who were immersed in the worship of the king of heaven, suddenly heard this voice, regardless of offending the face of heaven, immediately raised their heads, and saw a foreigner holding a cross on the head of the king of heaven to recite a word, immediately angry, many princes were about to draw knives to kill, but at this time they found that their knives were not brought in at all, and no one dared to bring a knife into the palace of the king of heaven.

Only Li Xiucheng carried the sword, which he carried with him in the name of protecting the Heavenly King, but he did not draw the sword.

Zhu Jinglun also stood up at this time, and hurriedly shouted: "I can't help it, I can't help it." ”

As he spoke, he also walked up, but was stopped by a prince.

Hong Xiuquan looked at Zhu Jinglun strangely, and found that he didn't know this person at all, nor did he know these foreigners present, he didn't know what was going on at all, he was just frightened, he thought he was just having a dream, and he didn't know that he had died once.

"Your Majesty the Heavenly King, you are really awake, I wish Sect Master Hong Immortal Fu eternal longevity and Tianqi!"

Zhu Jinglun shouted indiscriminately in the back.

Hong Xiuquan didn't know him, but he didn't want to ask, he was the king of heaven, the son of God, he knew everything, so he couldn't ask, he could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and be silent.

"Your Majesty, this foreigner can't be killed!"

Li Xiucheng didn't draw his sword, but he had already instructed a few of his princes to control a few foreigners, and Lin Lezhi, who was holding the cross, had already pressed to the ground.

The Heavenly King snorted coldly: "King Zhong, offending me, why can't you kill me?" ”

Li Xiucheng said respectfully: "They are here to baptize the Heavenly King, and they are also a fist, the Heavenly King forgive me." ”

What Li Xiucheng didn't dare to say was that killing these foreigners would provoke foreign soldiers, because it was useless for him to say it, Hong Xiuquan was stunned, so he didn't care what foreigners were or not.

Hong Xiuquan seemed to think of something, and nodded slightly: "Heavenly Father has the virtue of a good life, and he will wait for the first offense, and spare this time, and next time, he will light the sky lantern." ”

After saying this, Sect Master Hong felt that he should sober up and figure out some things, why did so many people come to the dormitory, what did they do, he seemed to have slept for a while, could it be that these people were planning to have bad intentions, but it was not very like, what happened.

So he waved his hand: "I'm tired, you should retreat first." ”

At this time, no one dared to disobey Hong Xiuquan, and obediently withdrew, keeping their heads down, and they didn't dare to look at Hong Xiuquan, including Hong Xiuquan's two brothers.

Li Xiucheng wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't say a word and walked out in silence.

After seeing that everyone was leaving, Hong Xiuquan immediately called people and asked him to spread Hong Tianguifu.

He believed only in his son, and no one else believed in him.

Tsai carefully asked his son what happened, at this time Hong Xiuquan knew that he had died once, and it was rumored in the city that he went to heaven to see his heavenly father, and descended to earth seven days later, and sure enough, he woke up seven days later, and his son asked him stupidly if he had seen his grandfather.

Hong Xiuquan can only say that he has seen it, the white-haired and white-bearded man is carrying a sword on his back, and he is given a face-to-face order.

Hong Tianguifu asked his grandfather again what he had to say.

Hong Xiuquan sounded that sentence again at this time.

The words rang out in his confusion, repeating themselves incessantly, an indescribable voice. Of course, it is indescribable, it was Zhu Jinglun's mechanical body that vibrated the air next to his eardrums, which was completely different from the human voice.

"If you are close to loyalty, you will succeed, and if you abandon loyalty, you will lose!"

Hong Xiuquan said this.

"Near? Is it King Chung? ”

Hong Tianguifu asked.

Hong Xiuquan nodded, this sentence can only be understood in this way, which is why he just agreed that Li Xiucheng would not kill those foreigners, he felt that this was the Heavenly Father warning him, telling him to use Li Xiucheng and trust Li Xiucheng.

Although he named Li Xiucheng as the loyal king, but in fact never trusted him, the reason why Li Xiucheng was named the loyal king, because at that time he was named Hong Renji, so that the officers were dissatisfied, so as a remedy, he sealed Chen Yucheng, who had the highest prestige in the army, but after sealing Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng's subordinates began to make noise again, and it was rumored that the Qing military prince was wooing Li Xiucheng, saying that there was collusion between Li Xiucheng and the Hunan army, so he sealed Li Xiucheng, and used the name of Zhongwang, that is, he hoped that he would be loyal, and also plugged other people's mouths and told others, A loyal king is faithful.

After that, even if Li Xiucheng rescued him again and again, he still didn't believe Li Xiucheng, especially when the Hunan army was under Tianjing City, Li Xiucheng was attacking Shanghai with more than 200,000 troops, he was furious at that time, and did not hesitate to issue an order to reprimand Li Xiucheng, asking him "what is his intention", and threatening him to "know the law"?

He also named Li Xiucheng's subordinates as kings, that is, he used power to divide his forces, Li Xiucheng asked him not to let the city go, he didn't leave, he was afraid that as soon as he left the capital, he would be set aside, he didn't dare to leave the city, as if here, he could control everything, in fact, he couldn't control anything anywhere, including his fate.

Now that Heavenly Father has asked him to use Li Xiucheng, it seems that he did make a mistake before, and he was too suspicious. King Chung is still worth believing, at least during the period of his death, King Chung showed great loyalty, at most he let his son succeed to the throne, without any usurpation.

Now Hong Xiuquan feels that he can try to use Li Xiucheng with confidence, and he can even consider breaking through.

Thinking of this, he summoned Li Xiucheng.

Li Xiucheng did not insist on breaking through at this time, and told Hong Xiuquan that the siege of Tianjing had been lifted, and the emperor of the Ming Kingdom personally led troops from the Yangtze River to open up the connection with Tianjing, and now they have transported 100,000 loads of military food, although they dare not guarantee that it is enough, but it can solve the urgent need, and the other party also promised to have as much food as they want, and they continue to send it, so there is no need to break through, but should actively train the troops, and work with the Ming army to completely resolve the siege of Tianjing.

Hong Xiuquan didn't know much about the Ming army, and his son didn't care much about this, so he only told him that a Ming emperor came and brought food, and as for the Ming army outside the city, his son was also vague.

Now listening to Li Xiucheng say this, it seems that there are still a lot of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and they should have the strength to fight.

discussed with Li Xiucheng, and then encouraged Li Xiucheng to do things with confidence, saying that he would not hesitate to reward Yunyun.

The reward soon came, and the next day Hong Xiuquan summoned all the kings to discuss the matter, and announced on the spot:

"Loyal to the prince and loyal to the country, it is really the humerus of the heavenly kingdom, and by the order of the heavenly father, Jin Feng Zhongwang is nine thousand years old and rules the kings!"

As soon as this reward was announced, before everyone could react, Li Xiucheng immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and begged Hong Xiuquan to take back his fate, he knew too well what happened to Yang Xiuqing after being named 9,000 years old, and throughout the ages, no 9,000-year-old had a good end.

Hong Xiuquan stepped down from the dragon chair, personally helped him up, and comforted him: "Don't worry, this is the will of Heavenly Father." I went to heaven this time, and the Heavenly Father punished 'if you use loyalty, you will succeed, and if you abandon loyalty, you will lose', I dare not disobey, and all the kings obey the orders and serve the will of the loyal king, which is my will, and must not be violated. ”

The kings bowed.

After that, Hong Xiuquan said that if there is anything in the future, please ask King Zhong to handle it, and King Zhong will ask him for instructions if he is undecided.

In fact, Hong Xiuquan didn't take care of things much in the past, and hid in the deep palace every day when he entered Tianjing City, but he had eighty-eight concubines, and the eldest concubine was still an angel - he said so himself, saying that the Heavenly Father gave him an angel, but no one could see it, ordinary people.

Because no one has ever seen him, Zeng Guofan thought for a long time that Hong Xiuquan did not exist at all, everything was pretended by Yang Xiuqing, and Hong Xiuquan himself was simply a cover for Yang Xiuqing, a ghost trick pretending to be a ghost.

The intelligence of the Hunan army is not wrong, because before the Tianjing Change, Yang Xiuqing monopolized all the power, the political power, the military power, and even the divine power, who was disobedient, the heavenly father went down to teach him a lesson, and even Hong Xiuquan couldn't stand it because of the abuse of the concubine, and he also "went down" once, and slapped Hong Xiuquan's ass in the court.

It is said that before the Tianjing Incident, Yang Xiuqing even used the "Heavenly Father to go down to earth" to ask Hong Xiuquan to seal him as a long live. According to some records, one day Yang Xiuqing went down to earth, handed Hong Xiuquan to him, and asked in the tone of a heavenly father: "You and the king of the east are both my sons, and the king of the east has great merit, how can he be called nine thousand years old?" Hong Xiuquan replied: "The king of the east fights the country, and it should be long live."

Therefore, the historians argued that it was because of Yang Xiuqing's forced seal that Hong Xiuquan was moved to kill, secretly contacted Wei Changhui and others, and destroyed the East King. Then Wei Changhui and the others were still unwilling, and planned to do nothing, and even Hong Xiuquan was killed, and it was Shi Dakai who led the troops back to rescue Wei Changhui and others. This is the famous Tianjing Incident.

It was precisely because of the Tianjing Incident that a large number of veterans of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were killed, that Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng sprung up.

But now that Li Xiucheng has been named 9,000 years old, and he has explained that he should control the kings, in fact, it is equivalent to letting him replace the position of Yang Xiuqing in the past, which makes Li Xiucheng feel worried.

But Hong Xiuquan has pretended, or it is true, anyway, Li Xiucheng can't tell the difference, he remembers that Hong Xiuquan woke up at that time and really read a sentence, it seems to be "If you use loyalty, you will succeed, and if you abandon loyalty, you will lose", isn't it an allusion to him Li Xiucheng, which makes him wonder, is it really the Heavenly Father who let him accept this power.

To say that Li Xiucheng was suspicious of Hong Xiuquan before, at this time he already believed eighty percent, believing that Hong Xiuquan was really the second son of Heavenly Father, aren't emperors like this, aren't they all the Son of Heaven. Li Xiucheng, who has no culture himself, is somewhat superstitious at his roots, otherwise he would not have followed Hong Xiuquan all the way from Guangxi to Tianjing.

He is now in power, although he is a little panicked, but he can still control the scene, after all, the army in Tianjing City is basically his subordinates, including those princes, and they are not jealous because he is nine thousand years old, most of them are happy for him, so he is different from Yang Xiuqing, he has greater control over the army, and absolutely no general wants to kill him, even outside the city, because the most powerful prince outside the city is Li Shixian, and Li Shixian is his cousin Li Xiucheng.

Thinking about it, Li Xiucheng felt that he was not so dangerous, and he had a different feeling about being in power.

At present, the top priority is to lift the siege of Tianjing, and then contact the Taiping army units in Jiangxi and Zhejiang, in terms of troops, there are still hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops in the periphery, and Li Shixian's hundreds of thousands of people are also because the military food is insufficient, so they are allowed to go to Jiangxi to eat.

Contacting these armies, the inside and the outside should be combined, and they will definitely be able to break the blockade of the Hunan army in one fell swoop, of course, the Ming army outside the city is also very important, especially their sailors, so Li Xiucheng has to discuss with Zhu Jinglun for the time being.
