Chapter Errors/Click here to report

On July 20, 1853, Jinling was now the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, called Tianjing.

Meng Deen, the prime minister and the chief minister of the Heavenly King's Mansion, was reporting the construction of the Heavenly King's Mansion to the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan in the imperial study, "Now the inner city is basically ready, and the outer city is being expanded quickly, and it is expected that it will be about the same in three or four months." By the way, the Heavenly Dynasty Gate and the Imperial Ditch have been completed, and the three-hole white marble bridge in front of the Heavenly Dynasty Gate is very exquisite. There should also be a holy imperial edict from the king of heaven, I asked the craftsmen to frame it with yellow silk and hang it at the gate of the Celestial Empire, reminding the civil and military officials and idle people, etc., that they are not allowed to trespass from now on, and it also shows the majesty of our Celestial Empire. ”

"Well, do as you say." Hong Xiuquan looked at Meng Deen with appreciation, put down the ice and silver fungus soup in his hand, got up and came to the imperial book, and took the pen handed by the female official, "Oh, that bridge is called Wulong Bridge, our inner city is called Golden Dragon City, and the outer city is called Sun City, and it is appropriate for the five dragons to guard it, hahaha"

He smirked as he brushed and wrote.

yes, how could he be unwilling?

From the Jintian regimental camp in January 1851 to the conquest of this ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River in March 1853, the brave Taiping soldiers led by Hong Xiuquan were invincible. Although there have been defeats in Changsha and other battles, and for this reason, he has also lost his mentor and friend Feng Yunshan, as well as his brother-in-law Xiao Chaogui, but after all, it is not hindered. After just more than two years of bloody fighting, now, he has a country of his own, a country surnamed Hong. I'm afraid that those who didn't order their own scientific examiners back then couldn't have dreamed of it.

Now he doesn't have to participate in any scientific expeditions, he has the power to hand-pick the champions, and he also has the power to dominate the world!

Meng Deen also accompanied the king of heaven grinning, looking at the calligraphy of the king dragon flying and phoenix dancing quite well, and admired with a sigh of admiration, "Heavenly king, your font is really a must, I think they often say that Wang Xizhi is afraid of nothing more than these two moments." ”

Hong Xiuquan put down his pen and admired himself, "All the ministers, big and small, stop here, there is an edict to allow you to enter, otherwise the snow in the clouds ('snow in the clouds' is the hidden word of the Taiping army to describe 'killing the head'). How's that, that's good, isn't it? ”

Meng Deen opened his arms and nodded again and again, "What's good, it's just too good!" I immediately asked someone to embroider it and hang it up. ”

"Okay," Hong Xiuquan returned to the chair and sat down, took a sip of ice white fungus soup, and a burst of coolness permeated the whole body, reminding Meng Deen and said, "Deen, after the entire palace from the Golden Dragon Palace, it must be nine entrances, and a three-story pavilion must be built at the end, so that it can be seen dozens of miles away, which is called the Nine Heavenly Court." ”

"Don't worry, the little minister will do what you want."

Hong Xiuquan nodded, "By the way, Deen, don't just care about me, and by the way, clean up your own mansion." Now that we have won the world, we have to make our families comfortable. ”

"Yes, Heavenly King." Meng Deen seemed to be moved to tears, and choked up.

"Oh, there's one more thing I almost forgot," Hong Xiuquan narrowed his eyes and looked at Meng Deen, "I heard that the female champion of Xinke is good." ”

Meng Deen smiled, "It's good, her name is Fu Shanxiang, the article is good, and the person is very good, she is really a rare character." But," he said, sighing softly.

"Huh?" Hong Xiuquan was originally imagining the appearance of this female champion, but when she saw that Meng Deen was not supported, she asked unhappily, "But what?" ”

Meng Deen said carefully: "Heavenly King, she is now from Dongfu. ”

"Hehe, that's good," Hong Xiuquan couldn't help but laugh, and there was a sense of loss in his heart, "I just asked casually, since it is the champion I hand-picked, I should always bring it to me to take a look, and I will only be hired after a good amount." Now that Dongwang knows jade, he can save his heart. ”

"Yes, yes, it's still the King of Heaven who has a big mind and thinks about the Celestial Empire everywhere." Meng Deen sighed on his lips, but he didn't think so in his heart. He knew too well what the Heavenly King was thinking at this time. The Celestial Empire explicitly implemented the system of separate libraries for men and women, and for the military and civilians below the prime minister, let alone the union of men and women, even husbands and wives could not live together. But look at this king again, there are more than 100 wives and concubines, and it's still not enough.

"Heavenly King," he looked left and right, and said softly with a sneer, "You don't like to move around, in fact, there is a girl in our Golden Dragon City who is not worse than that Fu Shanxiang." ”

"Really?" Hong Xiuquan perked up, staring intently at Meng Deen, looking impatient, "Tell me quickly, where is it, why didn't I see it?" ”

"Don't say that I sued you," Meng Deen first glanced at several female officials in the study viciously, then pointed to the east, leaned over Hong Xiuquan's ear and said, "Princess Lai's mother has a beautiful girl like a fairy, who has just turned seventeen, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs. The princess once said to people that if she participated in the scientific examination this time, she would definitely be the first place. ”

Hong Xiuquan's mouth was wide open, his palms were sweating, and he turned his brain vigorously, searching for the woman Meng Deen said in his memory. It took a long time before swallowing his saliva, "Hehe, since I haven't seen her all along, it must be the princess's plan." ”

"I heard that the princess wants to accept her as a righteous daughter." Muntdeen nodded.

"How much do you know?" Hong Xiuquan tilted his head and glanced at Meng Deen, looking weird.

"Heavenly King, I" Meng Deen felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly wanted to explain something.

Hong Xiuquan waved his hand, "You did a good job, but it's better to know less about the princess's side in the future." Actually, he liked it like that. At the beginning of the incident, Meng Deen not only had the merit of protecting him, but also thought about him everywhere. As long as he is graced, he can understand his meaning with a gesture, even with a look.

Hong Xiuquan is a suspicious person by nature, he doesn't trust anyone, but he believes in Mengde. However, the second half of his sentence is still sincere. Princess Lai is his wife, maybe out of conscience, maybe Lai himself in the harem called him impeccable, he is used to any concubine beating and scolding, but he is still much more polite to Lai.

"The Heavenly King, His Royal Highness the Winged King is waiting to see you." A female celestial official came in and bowed down.

Hong Xiuquan raised his eyes to look at the Western-gilded bell that fell to the ground, and frowned, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He waved at Mund's hand to signal that he could go, then turned to command, "Please come here." ”

Wing King Shi Dakai had just come out of the East King Yang Xiuqing and came directly to Jin to see the Heavenly King. Since the establishment of the capital Tianjing, the Eastern King has overseen the military and political affairs of the entire Celestial Dynasty as a military advisor, and the Northern King Wei Changhui is in charge of the defense of Tianjing, and his task is to assist the Heavenly King in managing military affairs.

"Brother Wang, the courtier is polite." Shi Dakai gave a deep bow and sat down according to the instructions of the Heavenly King.

Seeing his melancholy look, Hong Xiuquan smiled slightly, and pointed to the ice silver fungus soup brought by the female official, "Da Pao, drink this first, it can not only relieve the heat, but also defeat the fire." Look at how much these Qing demon heads will enjoy, then Lu Jianying actually has ice cubes in his Liangjiang Governor's Mansion. It's a pity that his blessings are too shallow, and they can only be left for me to enjoy. He smiled proudly.

Shi Dakai took the jade bowl containing the iced white fungus soup and took a symbolic sip. Looking at the two female officials standing behind the king of heaven shaking paper fans, one on the left and one on the right fanning the wind for the king of heaven, an indescribable taste welled up in my heart. From the body of the Heavenly King, he could no longer see the Hong Xiuquan of Jintian, and he sighed secretly.

"Heavenly King, Lin Fengxiang sent back the paperwork, they have crossed the Yellow River north and are currently arriving at Huaiqing Mansion in Henan." Shi Da opened the crystal clear, without a single flaw white jade bowl, looked at the Heavenly King and said.

"At the beginning, many people opposed the Northern Expedition, but now it seems that this decision is still right." Speaking of this, Hong Xiuquan felt that Shi Dakai was a little stimulated, because it was Shi Dakai who opposed the lone Northern Expedition. He smiled, "Lin Fengxiang and their march are fast, firstly, they have the protection of their Heavenly Father, and secondly, they are also good at the tactical guidance of the robes before leaving. It is not to pursue the seizure of a city too much, but to take the fastest action to smash the lair of the demon in Beijing. They should be rewarded for their meritorious battles, which will also boost their morale. En on Jin Feng Feng Xiang Jing Hu Hou, Li Kaifang for Ding Hu Hou, Ji Wenyuan for Ping Hu Hou, you sue sù Xiuqing, ask him to post a text. ”

"The reward is deserved, but this is not what they need most at the moment." Shi Dakai sighed, "Lin Fengxiang's attack on Huaiqing is frustrated right now, and he is confronting the Qing Demon. Their military strength is obviously insufficient, and I have been discussing with the East King for a long time, but the reinforcements that were originally planned to be sent have never been sent. What I'm worried about is that if Lin Fengxiang and them go deeper, they may form a greater passivity. ”

Hong Xiuquan blinked and thought for a while, "At the moment, Tianjing's defense is the top priority, and it is right for Xiuqing not to send reinforcements at this time." Besides, the Qing Demons are all frightened birds now, and they are not vulnerable to attack in front of our holy soldiers at all, so there is no need to worry about it. ”

Shi Dakai pondered for a while and said, "At present, the Jiangnan of the Qing Demon and the Jiangbei camp echo across the river, restraining a large number of our people in Tianjing. In particular, the Jiangnan camp not only hindered our development to the east in the future, but also directly stuck our grain route. According to the opinion of the younger brothers, we might as well withdraw some of the men and horses from the western expedition first, and cooperate with the Tianjing defenders to get rid of Xiang Rong, the demon head. In this way, we can reinforce Lin Fengxiang and them of the Northern Expedition at a critical moment, and we can also expand the development area for Tianjing. Staying in a lonely city is never the best option. ”

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate," Hong Xiuquan shook his head, "Yesterday, Xiuqing also discussed with me that the strength of the Western Expedition should be strengthened, and he meant that he wanted to ask Da Pao to go to Anqing to sit down directly." I think this idea is still a good one, with you in command of the Western Expeditionary Army, the west of Tianjing can be worry-free. ”

Shi Dakai nodded, and didn't say anything more, he knew that it would be useless to say more.
