Chapter 11: Shocking Changes (3)

In the Young Heavenly Palace, Hong Tiangui's face was pale, this time it was extremely risky, and it was a last resort to use Chen Kexing to assassinate Hong Xiuquan. He traveled to this era and did not want to be buried for the entire Heavenly Kingdom, only by taking power himself and using the known historical trend could it be possible to save the dying regime, and he believed that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was definitely stronger in his own hands than in the hands of Hong Xiuquan. The idea of formality supported him to decisively act against Hong Xiuquan, the "father".

He kept comforting himself, and his heart was constantly thinking. If Chen Ke's assassination of Hong Xiuquan is successful, he can use Hong Xiuquan's assassination injury to put him under house arrest, and he can also use this matter to make a big fuss.

Soon, the Heavenly Sword Daoist walked in.

"Your Highness, something is wrong!"

The Heavenly Sword Daoist didn't know that Hong Tiangui controlled Chen Ke, and controlling the gods was Hong Tiangui's biggest secret, even if the Heavenly Sword seemed to know something, Hong Tiangui didn't clearly tell him what he thought.

"Let's go and see!" Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

The two of them went out of the Young Heavenly King Palace and saw Chen Ke, who was covered in blood, being caught and sent to Hong Tiangui. Led by Jiang Lin, the deputy captain of the guard.

"Your Highness, Chen Ke's assassination of the Heavenly King, the evidence is conclusive, it has been taken down by the guards, please deal with it with Your Highness." Jiang Lin couldn't hide her panic in her expression. It's really unbelievable that Chen Ke, who has always been loyal to Hong Xiuquan, would assassinate the Heavenly King. When Chen Ke summoned the people of the escort team with a bloodstained face and said that they would rebel with him, the deputy captain Jiang Lin took the opportunity to attack and captured Chen Ke, which should have been sent to the Heavenly King, but the Heavenly King was seriously injured and unconscious, so he was naturally sent to the Young Heavenly King as soon as possible.

Hong Tiangui was silent, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Everything went in the direction I expected.

"Take Chen Ke into custody, this king wants to know who instructed him to assassinate the king." Hong Tiangui roared angrily.

Jiang Lin didn't dare to slack off, and commanded people to press Chen Ke into the dungeon of the Heavenly King's Mansion.

"Jiang Lin, inform the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, the front hall is deliberating! Whoever assassinates the Heavenly King, this King will make them pay! Hong Tiangui gritted his teeth and said.

Jiang Lin nodded, and hurriedly asked the Heavenly King's subordinate officials to inform the minister to go to the front hall to discuss matters. Everyone understands that if the Heavenly King assassinates, the entire Tianjing City is probably going to move, but I don't know who will be unlucky in this incident?

"In addition, send a team of people to take down the Yang family and the captain of the guard, Hongying, and take them into custody, no one can see them without the order of the king!" Hong Xiuquan's sudden escape from the control of the gods made Hong Tiangui suffer a big loss, if it wasn't for his decisive enough reaction and ruthless enough, I'm afraid that he would be the one who is now detained.

He didn't know if Concubine Yang and Hongying had gotten rid of the god control, but at this juncture, he didn't dare to take any risks, and he had to take everything into his own hands.

The assassination of the Heavenly King instantly spread throughout the Tianjing City. The Heavenly King's most trusted guard captain would assassinate the Heavenly King, and the first reaction of anyone who heard the news was disbelief, and then they would guess who Chen Ke was behind it. After all, there is no assassination for no reason, and someone will definitely benefit from killing Hong Xiuquan.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs hurried to the front hall of the Heavenly King's Mansion and saw Hong Tiangui, who was waiting there with an extremely gloomy face.

"Young Heavenly King, how is the Heavenly King?" King Hong Renfa said loudly. In addition to being the leader of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Heavenly King is also his bloodline brother, and Hong Renfa is a bastard, and at this time, he also cares from the bottom of his heart.

"The Heavenly King was seriously injured in the assassination, and he is obviously in a coma, and now the Imperial Doctor is treating the Heavenly King, and there should be no danger to his life." Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, what is going on? Why did Chen Ke suddenly assassinate the Heavenly King? "The god king Hong Renxuan is the most puzzled, the king of heaven handed over the power to the young king, if the young king is assassinated, it is reasonable, but the retired king of heaven was assassinated, no matter how you look at it, this thing is full of weirdness.

"Chen Ke is still under interrogation, and I believe that there will be a result soon. I summoned you here this time to tell you that the king of heaven has been assassinated, if you Aiqing knows the clues of the matter, you must report to the king immediately, and all those involved in it, this king will definitely not let go. Hong Tiangui's voice was cold, and the whole person exuded a murderous intent.

Everyone looked awe-inspiring, judging from the beneficiaries of the assassination of the Heavenly King, it was obvious that the Young Heavenly King had the greatest benefits, but looking at the posture of the Young Heavenly King, I am afraid that the matter has nothing to do with the Young Heavenly King, plus Hong Tiangui's thirteen-year-old age is too deceptive, neither the ministers nor the people of the Heavenly Kingdom regard Hong Tiangui as the biggest doubter.

"King Xi, the assassination of the Heavenly King, it can be seen to the extent of the chaos in the Tianjing City, immediately enter the city with the elite of the Imperial Forest Army you selected, and capture the people before you." Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

King Xi received the order, and since he received the order yesterday, he has already set out to select people from the Royal Forest Army. Although the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Forest Army is gone, there are quite a few people, and it is impossible for all of them to enter Tianjing City. Five hundred people are enough to arrest those gentlemen. Hong Renzheng understood that the Young Heavenly King had the intention of rectifying the Imperial Forest Army, but the bad habits cultivated by the more than 20,000 people in the Imperial Forest Army were difficult to return to, and it was forced to carry them out, so it was better to set up a new army. And what he has always been doing is to draw the available people from these people as the backbone and reorganize the Royal Forest Army for the Young Heavenly King.

"King Fu, remember what you promised this king, don't make any mistakes!" Hong Tiangui said word by word.

King Fu's slightly obese body trembled. This nephew, who had just been on the throne for less than two days, brought him so much pressure, and with the elite of the Imperial Forest Army entering the city, the security of Tianjing City must all be in the hands of the Young Heavenly King, and he would have no ability to resist at that time.

Looking at Hong Tiangui's immature but cold face, King Fu only agreed.

Zhou Rui, the chief official of the Ministry of Rites, took a step forward and said, "Your Highness, can I go and visit the Heavenly King?" ”

Hong Tiangui looked at him coldly.

"Now that the king of heaven is unconscious, it is inconvenient to receive him, and the king will convey his intentions. Now that the king of heaven has been assassinated, the six departments should perform their own duties, and they must not make trouble at this time, if there is a problem in any of them, don't blame the king for not being emotional. ”

For the current six departments, Hong Tiangui is not satisfied, but there are no available people in his hands, even if he knows that these people are sparsely capable, either by bribing King Fu and King Xin to take the throne, or they are incompetent people who are proficient in whiskers and horses, but without them, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Heaven will collapse first without the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

With the help of the power of the king, Hong Tiangui first attacked King Fu, and took the most important household department among the six departments in his hands, and then he will cultivate his own cronies and talents, and gradually replace Hong Xiuquan's old ministers.

The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, only those who have cultivated themselves can be trusted.

The direct consequence of the news of the assassination of the Heavenly King was that the Imperial Forest Army entered the city, and the five hundred Imperial Forest Army were wearing bright yellow military uniforms, all of them were fully armed, and they looked extraordinary. But if you look closely, you will see that these people have different expressions, and some of them even ignore discipline and greet familiar pedestrians.

The king of shirts, who was riding a horse at the front of the team, was quite helpless in his heart, these people were already good. The Royal Forest Army has nearly 30,000 troops, but the actual number is not even 10,000. After the Tianjing Incident, the elite of the hundred battles continued to leave the Imperial Forest Army, some joined the command of other vassal kings, and some returned to the field after disarming and no longer serving the king. Most of the rest of the people are paid by virtue of their connections. Ten years after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established Tianjing as the capital, the once most elite Imperial Forest Army was left with only an empty shelf. These five hundred people were carefully selected by him, and they were barely usable, and the other powerful children couldn't be called at all, even if he was the vassal king of the Hong family.

Before the Imperial Forest Army came to King Fu's mansion, King Fu held a list in his hand and gathered more than 100 house slaves as guides. There is no way, there are hundreds of bullies with evil deeds that Hong Tiangui investigated, among which there are more than fifty domestic slaves in King Fu's Mansion, and most of the others are the children of generals such as prison guards, military marshals, and division marshals, and some of these people don't even dare to offend King Fu. But if you don't do it, it won't work, Hong Tiangui obviously treats him as Liwei's soft persimmon, if he doesn't behave well, God knows what Hong Tiangui will do with him. Over the years, as the blessed king, he and Hong Renfa have been in cahoots, but they have harmed people a lot, once they lose their power in the kingdom of heaven, there will definitely be many people who fall into the ground.

"King Xi, the task assigned by the Young Heavenly King this time depends on you!" King Fu squeezed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying. The relationship between Hong Renda and Hong Renzheng is not bad, but as his power position has become higher and higher, he has become a little estranged in recent years. And King Fu is rare to be smart this time, he knows that the young king came to power in order to use himself to establish his authority, if he is a little weak, not only will his power be lost, but he may even lose the family business that he has accumulated so hard. What's more, he has offended a lot of people in recent years, once the power position is no longer there, the people who fall into the well do not know how many, King Fu does not dare to take this risk, he wants to regain Hong Tiangui's favor and keep his position, even if he wants to offend more powerful people in order to hold this position.

Hong Tiangui asked Tianjian to find out that there were hundreds of vicious gentlemen and ruffians in Tianjing City, and almost all the noble families in Tianjing City were involved, and many of them were generals who led troops abroad. Some people don't even dare to really offend King Fu. After all, those people above the division commander in the Kingdom of Heaven are not easy to mess with, they are really going crazy and desperate, and Hong Renda, who has no one to protect them, can't bear it. This time, in order to regain Hong Tiangui's favor, King Fu can be regarded as fighting.

King Xi nodded, but his expression was quite dignified. The Heavenly King was assassinated, and the Kingdom of Heaven once again entered an eventful season, but I don't know how many people were unlucky in this incident. The Kingdom of Heaven can no longer withstand a Tianjing Incident, and I hope that the Young Heavenly King can maintain restraint, and the last bit of vitality of the Kingdom of Heaven cannot be exhausted internally.

Under the leadership of King Fu's retainers, the Imperial Forest Army was fully armed, arresting people from house to house, and for a time the entire Tianjing City was shaken, and some people who were usually arrogant and domineering were arrested one after another and were detained in the Tianjing City Prison waiting for trial.

The night was dark, and Hong Renzheng, dressed in military uniform, entered the Heavenly King's Mansion.

"Your Highness, there are five hundred and thirty people in total, a total of five hundred and ten people have been arrested, and twenty people have escaped after receiving the news."
