Man, in fact, is a very strange animal. When a person is at the bottom of society, suffers from all kinds of hardships, and finally has a certain amount of power, often many people do not think about how to repay the world that gave them opportunities, but instead have a strong sense of revenge, and do their best to take revenge on the people around them.

Hong Xiuquan is such a strange character with a pathological pathology. This may have something to do with his upbringing.

He was born into a poor family. Because he was smart and cute since he was a child, and he was an old son, he was unusually favored by his parents. Of all the children, he was the only one who was offered to go to school. His brothers and sisters were born to let him go, and whatever was good in the family was always the first to take his turn. So, he developed a self-centered personality from an early age.

He is indeed smart. In the private school, he was very studious, and in five or six years, he was familiar with the Four Books, the Five Classics, the Book of Filial Piety, and the ancient texts of famous scholars. His homework is back to the first, and he is the teacher's darling of course. On the day of the first pair learning, the teacher had a "rooster croaw", and when the other students were still meditating, he had already stood up to deal with a "dog bark". The teacher then came out with the couplet "The rooster cries and the sky is bright", Hong Xiuquan didn't wait for the teacher's words to land, he could blurt out "The dog barks and the sun rises". All of a sudden, the teacher was stunned. "Prodigy", there is a great talent in the Ming Dynasty Xu Wenchang's childhood style. I've been teaching here for more than 20 years, and I've never met such a smart baby! As soon as the news spread, ten spread hundreds, everyone near and far knew about his "prodigy", and they all thought that this "prodigy" would be extraordinary in the future.

Especially for the people surnamed Hong in Guanlu Village, Huaxian County, Guangdong, I believe that he is not a showman, I am afraid that even lifting people can be successful, and maybe in the future, he can also be a jinshi and a prime minister, and he will enjoy great fortune and great wealth! Because Guanlu Village is so poor, the land is thin and barren, and the production is low, and the Hong clan sells fields, houses, children, and women as maids. Everyone is looking forward to someone who can get ahead and bring a change in the lives of the clansmen.

Hong Xiuquan himself is naturally even more ambitious. He has no reason not to believe that he will definitely get out of this poor countryside that doesn't even like grass in the future and become a big man who stands up to the sky. Because, God is especially fond of him, and God should naturally favor him. Subconsciously, he felt that he was the darling of the heavens.

The imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty were divided into three levels: Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi. Jinxiu has to go through two exams, the first county exam and the second college exam. The college examination is conducted by the academic administration, and the middle examination is called Xiucai. Xiucai from various states and counties went to the provincial capital to take the exam, and those who took the test were called lifters. The provinces raised people to go to Beijing to take the exam, and the one who took the test was called Jinshi.

It's a pity that it backfired, Hong Xiuquan took the exam for seven or eight years, and he must be in the top ten in every test during the county examination, but he will fail to be selected every time he goes to the college examination, and Lian Xiucai has not yet been admitted. The pressure on scholars in the imperial examination era is hard for people today to imagine. After falling off the list, you not only have to face the cynicism of your neighbors, nor do you not only bury your personal life fate, but also lose all the money that the entire family has done their best to gamble. Supporting a scholar in his poor village is the business of a whole family.

Therefore, when the twenty-five-year-old Hong Xiuquan went to Guangzhou Mansion for the third time to take the exam, he was still on the list in the initial examination, and when he failed in the re-examination, he fainted on the spot and fell in front of the list. This serious illness lasted for more than 40 days, and he was so sick that he almost lost his life. Under the huge blow, the self-impulse that had been pent up for many years erupted, making him experience a dream process that he will never forget. This dream is so gorgeous, so magical, and so real. Even after many years, he can still remember it as if it were yesterday.

In the dream, he ascended to the sky in a small sedan chair (when he passed out in front of the leaderboard, it was the students of the same county who pooled money to hire a sedan chair and send him home. This is the first time in his life to sit in a sedan chair, although it is not the kind of official sedan chair he dreamed of, but it still left a deep impression on him, so it is not surprising that he can bring it into his dreams. )。

The sight of heaven is a bit strange. There, the first thing he saw was Lei Gong, who looked like a big rooster. On both sides of the Heavenly Gate, countless beautiful girls in brocade clothes flocked there like flowers to greet him. He didn't squint, and after entering the gate of heaven proudly, there were countless people wearing dragon robes and gold crowns here who came to meet him. The men then led him to an old man. It was a "high-brimmed hat, a black dragon robe, and a mouth full of golden beards, dragging it on its belly." The appearance is the most burly, the body is the tallest, the sitting posture is the strictest, the robe is the most upright, and the hands are on the knees. This old man is the greatest immortal in the heavens who dominates all things in heaven and earth. That is, the old man who was called "God" by him many years later. The old man told him that he was not an ordinary man, but his own son. Of course, next to the "Heavenly Father", he also saw the "Heavenly Mother", "Heavenly Brother", "Heavenly Sister-in-law" and so on.

This is Hong Xiuquan's dream. Dreams are the crystallization of human desires. The lower the social strata are, the more they yearn for supreme power, just as a beggar craves a sumptuous feast. In a life where they are often bullied, insulted, and hurt, their biggest fantasy in their hearts is to become the most powerful person and take revenge on the world to compensate for their losses.

Before this serious illness, Hong Xiuquan's temperament was lively. He likes to use witty language to make fun of people. But after the serious illness, he completely changed. became as sexual as fire, and his demeanor was also dignified, strict, and silent. When sitting, the body is straight, the hands are placed on the knees, and the feet are slightly separated and flat, which is called sitting upright. He doesn't bend down, he doesn't look up, he doesn't look around, he doesn't bend his legs or anything like that, he can sit like this for hours without getting tired. He also walked with solemn steps, without squinting, nor looking back at anything. 100% of the people's attitude. However, his heart is always irritable and stubborn.

In the dream, Hong Xiuquan's fantasy finally came true. In reality, with the bloody sacrifice of countless people, he has also done it. He went from being an ordinary farmer's son to a dragon son of God, and he had the most powerful father. Naturally, he himself has the most noble power, the Heavenly King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

It cannot be denied that, in a certain sense, Hong Xiuquan can be called a great peasant leader. Whether you accept it or not, if you can make full use of the favorable time and place, and use an illusory ideal to organize a plate of scattered peasants, and establish a strong political power, he is enough to say "great".

However, he was also a pathological "religious" fanatic. He used religious superstition to call on and organize the people, realizing his dream of establishing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At the same time, he also wants to continue to use religious superstition to rule, or fool, the subjects of his kingdom. Even when building the palace of the Celestial Empire, he showed his "religious" fanaticism to the fullest, and completely forgot the so-called royal rules. As long as you look at the names of the buildings in the palace, it is very clear, from the "Sun City", "Heavenly Father Terrace", "Holy Heavenly Gate", all the way to the "True God Glory Hall (Golden Dragon Palace)", "Heavenly Father Palace", "Heavenly Brother Palace" and so on, all of which fully reflect Hong Xiuquan's religious ideology of "worshiping God".

Whether he was trapped in Yong'an back then, or now he is in a safe corner, Hong Xiuquan doesn't want to ask anything. There is no power to take him away, and it is no wonder who took the initiative to empty him. It was his own willingness to give up the power he was supposed to have. Because, he only wants to do one thing, and that is to dream about his "Tiantiao" every day, revenge or repair what a qiē once brought him painful memories.

There were no beauties before, okay, now I'll give you a men's and women's branch, no matter how he and others are, I'll have three thousand beauties first. In the past, there was a lack of money and less food, it was simple, it was all right to come to a holy treasury, and all the wealth in the world belonged to my Hong family, who would dare to have a private collection of money and hair? No mercy! Hateful Kong Lao Er, you have made trouble and fallen to Sun Mountain five times, and you have been ridiculed by others, and now I will demolish your temple, smash your statue, and burn your books, so that you will never be able to turn over

Hong Xiuquan's mind is not normal, he is crazy. He has even forgotten his original intention of embarking on the anti-Qing road in the first place. Who does he love? can only say that in fact, he doesn't love anyone, he only loves himself. At this point, he may not be as good as the Xianfeng in the Forbidden City. At least Xianfeng still has to worry about his court, and he doesn't have to think about this.

Hong Xiuquan, who returned to the imperial study, was a little depressed, and he was very unhappy with today's dinner. Because, he has just been promoted to a beloved mother (a lady who is one level lower than the main palace maiden), and this beloved lady does not have a jade bowl. Don't look at him who is not very particular about food, but he is very particular about tableware and utensils. In addition to himself, each lady must also have her own gold, silver, jade tableware, as well as their own daily utensils. The new bride is born, and it is natural to arrange this qiē. However, Meng Deen didn't do it this time, his holy oracle became an empty cannon, his beloved mother was coquettish, sad like a tearful man, where could he still be satisfied.

"Heavenly King, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that your oracle will be limited to our Sun City." Meng Deen cried with a sad face, and said in a somewhat choked voice.

"Deen, is it really Qingpao's order?" Hong Xiuquan took the tea from the female officer's hands, rinsed his mouth, and spit into the spittoon held by the other female official, he seemed to be a little disbelieving.
