The wheels of history are turning, and no one can stop history from moving forward. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the wheel began to turn, in Nanjing, in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the situation of internal strife among the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not end because Wei Changhui was killed, in fact, since Yang Xiuqing was killed, the internal balance was broken, and once the balance was broken, the civil strife would only intensify.
Although Hong Xiuquan ordered Wei Changhui to be killed last year, his head was sent to Shi Dakai, and he was asked to return to the dynasty to preside over the government. But in fact, the shadow of discord between the two was planted from the very beginning, when Shi Da raised troops to threaten Hong Xiuquan to kill Wei Changhui. After Shi Dakai returned to Nanjing, he hoped to inherit the power of the king of Dongdong and let Hong Xiuquan let him govern the government. And for the king of heaven who has been holding back his anger for many years, he wants to stretch out his head to be a truly powerful king, how can he be allowed to act alone.
Hong Xiuquan's suspicion and prevention make there an invisible gap between the two, and this suspicion is constantly deepening, it turns out that the monarch and the minister have spent the New Year perfunctory, since Yang Xiuqing and Wei Changhui were killed, only the Wing King is in power in the court, and the officials support him, Hong Xiuquan can't take care of political affairs by himself, and everything still has to be punished by Shi Dakai before reporting to him, which is just a formality. Shi Dakai felt that Hong Xiuquan had no ability to govern the country, and he asked him for advice on major matters, but he couldn't come up with any good ideas, so he still had to make decisions, and he didn't bother to ask him for instructions after a few things.
So this situation is the same as when King Dong was in power, and for Hong Xiuquan, a person who wants to be an independent king, it naturally aroused his dissatisfaction. And the one who has been eyeing him was originally used by Hong Xiuquan to divide Shi Dakai's power, but was overheaded by Shi Dakai, and Hong Renfa and Hong Renda, who were dissatisfied with it, immediately took advantage of Hong Xiuquan's dissatisfaction and kept muttering in his ear, adding oil and sauce to tell Shi Dakai that it was not. said that he was tyrannical and arbitrary, and there was no heavenly king, if he didn't weaken his authority, if he continued to make trouble like this, his ambition would become bigger and bigger, and who else could stop him, wouldn't the Hong family's world be ruined by the Shi family.
He was dissatisfied with Shi Dakai, Hong Xiuquan was even more shocked when he heard it, and he was afraid that cutting off the power of the Wing King would make him dissatisfied. So he hesitated and hesitated, and stayed up until the beginning of May, and finally couldn't help it, regardless of the consequences, and did not discuss with anyone, he issued an edict, and named the king's eldest brother Hong Renfa as the king of An, and the second brother of the king Hong Renda as the king of blessings.
The edict of the Heavenly King's Mansion came to the Yiwang Mansion with the edict, and Shi Dakai listened to it and was silent. The King of Heaven had expected his suspicion of himself, but he sent these two treasures to work with him, but it was unexpected, which shows that the King of Heaven only knows how to protect his throne, and does not hesitate to disturb the government and sacrifice the interests of the country, to the point of being so stupid!
He smiled coldly and said:
"Understood, just obey the order."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the listening hall, where hundreds of Chinese military officials gathered, and just now he was listening to the military deployment of the Wing King to resist the Qing soldiers encroaching on the Taiping army's position, and when he saw the Wing King returning to the hall with a solemn expression, he asked one after another:
"What is His Majesty's will?"
The Winged King said coldly the content of the edict, and everyone suddenly said in an uproar:
"Strange things, strange things, the Celestial Empire is not crowned king, these two royal brothers are immoral and incompetent, they are not worthy of being crowned kings, and they can't take charge of state affairs, they don't succeed enough, and they have more than enough failures, aren't they messing around with national affairs?"
Shi Dakai said coldly:
"Once the edict has been issued, it cannot but be carried out."
Everyone said:
"Even if His Highness obeys the order, we don't pay attention to those two royal brothers, if they know how to be interested, they should know the difficulty and retreat."
As he was talking, the newly promoted Second King Anfu wore a new golden crown dragon robe, entered the hall with a big belly, arched his hand towards Shi Dakai and the officials, and said with a smile:
"Fortunately, fortunately, this prince is here!"
As soon as his words fell, someone immediately refuted:
"The two national sects are wrong, only the Heavenly Father is called the Lord in our Heavenly Empire, and the rest are not allowed to be called the Lord regardless of the Heavenly King and the kings, you have violated the rules of the court, you should be punished!"
When Hong Renfa heard this, he hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth and said:
"Damn, damn it, I made a joke before I opened my mouth, and I made a joke!"
Hong Renda also said on the side:
"There are many rules in the Celestial Empire, how can we people from farming figure it out?"
Someone else retorted:
"Old brothers in Guangxi, nine out of ten are from farming and work, how can they all understand the truth?"
The two brothers just giggled and scratched their ears and cheeks, and were speechless. Shi Dakai frowned, and said to the two kings of An and Fu:
"I'm still in trouble, I'm guilty!"
Immediately withdrew out of the hall, Huang Yukun and Zhang Suimou followed, and the hundred officials dispersed in a hurry, and no one paid attention to the two royal brothers, these two King An and King Fu, who had just worn royal robes, immediately scolded hatefully:
"Damn, hateful, the dog looks down on people, tell the king of heaven to go!"
Huang Yukun and the others followed Shi Dakai into the judgment room, and they were indignant one by one, saying that the king of heaven was too jealous and harmed the public with his own interests, how could he let the two stupid Wang brothers take charge of state affairs, and Shi Dakai sighed:
"The Celestial Empire is unfortunate, such a sad thing happened, although I am loyal to the country, but still not forgiven, now I understand why Qu Yuan is desperate for the state affairs and committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, but I am not Qu Yuan, I will never commit suicide, I really can't bear it, I can only go."
Huang Yukun persuaded:
"Your Highness, as soon as you leave, who will preside over the Celestial Empire at that time? Please make one last effort, Your Highness, don't ignore the two royal brothers, just leave them aside. ”
In the days that followed, Shi Dakai tried not to meet with Hong Renfa and Hong Renda, and although all the chapters that had to be decreed to the Heavenly King were listed with the official titles of King Yi, King An, and King Fu, he did not consult with them, and only stamped his own gold seal six inches long and three inches wide, and sent it to the palace. This is a routine matter, usually not more than two days later, after the king of heaven reads it, the seal official will stamp the "decree seal" of three inches and six minutes square, and then send it back to the Yiwang Mansion for issuance. But this time, only the music was sent to the palace, but it was not used to print it back, Huang Yukun and others felt that it was not good, and I am afraid that the palace is brewing to further reject the Wing King.
Shi Dakai, who was rejected like this, was naturally resentful, and discussed the matter of leaving with the staff officers every day. Not only did everyone in his mansion know about this, but even together with He Yongchen, who was in Tianjing and was active, the warden sent by the three guards in Henan also heard the rumors, and after Hong Renfa and Hong Renda became queens, he even wondered if he could spend some money on these two to find an official and a half-position for the crown three. But the turmoil in Tianjing made him smell the crisis in the air, and he suddenly had a sense of departure.
On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, Hong Xiuquan, who was bent on monopolizing power, finally delivered a hard blow to Shi Dafa that led to the final rupture, and he ordered the "Imperial Decree Officer" to send the backlog of Yiwang Concerts back to the Winged King's Mansion intact, saying that without the great seals of King An and King Fu, the Heavenly King could not approve the quasi-performance.
Huang Yukun received this big stack of chapters and said to Zhang Suimou and Zeng Jinqian:
"It seems that this matter is irreparable, this is obviously to force His Royal Highness the Wing King to leave. As the ministers of the Wing Palace, we can no longer dissuade them, if not, I am afraid that His Highness will be harmed by people like the King of the East! ”
Huang Yukun's words made Zhang Suimou and Zeng Jinqian nod their heads and say yes, maybe they all said to the outside world that Wei Changhui killed the East King without authorization, but they didn't know that if they didn't have the permission of the King of Heaven to recognize him Wei Changhui had eaten the ambition leopard guts, I am afraid they would not dare to harm him, and if the Wing King did not leave, I am afraid that he would be the next East King. Not only is the Wing King the next East King, but I am afraid they are also difficult to protect themselves, last year there was no one in the East Palace, even if it was a newborn baby, it was cut down and eradicated.
"Then let's do it!"
After making this decision, the three of them went to see the Wing King together, and after listening quietly to their approval of the idea of leaving, Shi Dakai said unusually calmly:
"The second brother forced me to leave, and the responsibility for the fall apart of the kingdom of heaven is not in this hall, and the whole world will understand that he forced me to leave. Those who win the hearts of the people prosper, and those who lose the hearts of the people die, the palace regrets for the second brother, he is surrounded by villains, how can he be so stupid. In this case, the main hall can no longer be in power in the court, so you should quickly deploy according to the original plan to go out of Beijing. In order to take into account the overall situation, only the 5,000 people who originally entered Beijing with me were taken out of Beijing, and the rest of the soldiers and horses in Beijing still held their positions to defend against the demon army from attacking by chance. Tomorrow we will go to the south gate (Jubao Gate) to preach to the soldiers against the Qing Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the day after tomorrow also use this name to go out of the city, so that the king of heaven and they are not guarded, we will take the people and horses to the west of the city after we go out of the city, through Jiangning Town, the same day can reach the Tongjing Town by the river to cross the river to Anqing. ”
On this day, Shi Dakai and everyone were busy deploying things out of Beijing. In the evening, Shi Dakai, who had arranged everything, came to the back house of the palace with a haggard body and a sad face, which was empty. It was about this time last year that the frenzied Wei Changhui killed all his wives and concubines.
Standing here, Shi Dakai, who was touching the scene, only felt a heat in his eyes, and the tears were almost about to flow, and he whispered softly in his mouth.
"Second brother, why is it like this, why is it so ......"
One of the most fundamental reasons why he made such painful muttering was that he knew very well that Wei Changhui wanted to kill himself at the beginning, and it seemed that he did not have the permission of the Heavenly King, but it had a fundamental relationship with his connivance. If it weren't for this, how would he dare Wei Changhui if he had ten dares...... Kill your whole family!
Even so, he endured it, and only thought it was Wei Changhui's sin. Doesn't he understand his own mind?
"Second brother, why do you have to fight with me......
After this sigh, tears still flowed from Shi Dakai's eyes.
