Chapter 504: Token of the Heavenly King

In the past two days, Hong Xiuquan has been almost crazy, and being forced by Yang Xiuqing to seal Long Live not only made him feel ashamed, but also made him feel deep fear!

Who is Banzai? That's the Son of Heaven, it's the emperor, Yang Xiuqing is long lived, does the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still have his share of Hong Xiuquan? What's more, Yang Xiuqing is ruthless, once he ascends the throne, not to mention his own life, it is not impossible for the Hong family to be eradicated, but the problem, after breaking the Jiangbei camp in Jiangnan, Yang Xiuqing's prestige has risen to an unparalleled height, as a nominal spiritual and religious leader, Hong Xiuquan can do nothing?

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Hong Xiuquan grabbed a vase, slammed it to the ground, and said angrily: "What are you standing for?" See my jokes? Get out, get out! ”

"Yes!" The two princesses in the hall bent their knees slightly and retreated quickly, which made Hong Xiuquan even more annoyed!

After his two thousand Wang Niang and the women's guard were abducted by Wang Feng, Yang Xiuqing gave him dozens of them from his Wang Niang, which could be regarded as quenching his thirst, but what he didn't expect was that these women were not only no longer obedient, but also Yang Xiuqing's eyeliner placed by his side, his every move would be secretly reported to Yang Xiuqing, and he was worse than Emperor Han Xian, Emperor Han Xian had eunuchs around him, and they were his own people, and there were no eunuchs in the Heavenly King Palace, just those dozens of women controlled the palace of Nuoda, and it was difficult for him to pass on the news.

However, for more than a year, due to Hong Xiuquan's isolation from the outside world, his supervision has been much lax than before.

"Your Majesty, Zuo Tianhou Chen Chengying asks to see you." At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the hall, which was weak and indifferent.

"Tell him to get out!" Hong Xiuquan waved his hand violently.

The woman's voice said again: "Has the emperor forgotten what day it is?" ”

The muscles of Hong Xiu's entire face were hideously twisted. The teeth of hatred creaked, and today is the day when Yang Xiuqing is officially canonized. Chen Chengying came to invite him to the Golden Dragon Hall to preside over the canonization ceremony.

Hong Xiuquan didn't squeak and was taken as a default. Not long after, Chen Chengying stepped into the hall and bowed respectfully: "Weichen Chen Chengying knocked on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

The sound of the mountain calling long live was extremely harsh in Hong Xiuquan's ears, and he immediately didn't say a word, rolled up his sleeves and walked out.

Chen Chengying bowed slightly and followed Hong Xiu's body, and when he left the dormitory, he saw that there was no Wang Niang coming with him. Suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty, Yang Xiuqing has ill intentions and is watching the throne, and the emperor should secretly summon the King of the North, the King of Wings and the King of Yan to enter Beijing to quell the chaos." ”

Hong Xiuquan was slightly shocked, but as a veteran of playing politics, he still had this concentration, he neither looked back nor spoke, but acted as if nothing had happened. continued to move forward, but there were turbulent waves in my heart.

He knew that this was an opportunity, and it was his only chance for Hong Xiuquan. However, he couldn't be sure of the reliability of this Chen Chengying.

Chen Chengying is in his thirties, short and concise, and does not read much. He has always had the power to scheming, and Qin Rigang, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, and Luo Gang are all old men in the Jintian Uprising. Because of his military exploits, he was promoted to Yulin Guard, Shenhou Guard, the third commander on the left of the palace, the second inspection point on the right of the palace, the deputy prime minister of the local official, the prime minister of the heavenly official, and the marquis of Xingguo. Soon changed the title to Zuo Tianhou.

Unlike the rest of the generals, Chen Chengying was the head of the internal officials of the court.

At present, the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, from top to bottom, are Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, Wei Changhui, the king of the north, Shi Dakai, the king of Yan, Qin Rigang, the king of Yan and Hu Yihuang, the king of Yu, Chen Chengying's status is second only to Hu Yihuang, and he was appointed by Yang Xiuqing as the prime minister of state affairs, and entrusted with the important task of propagating and publicizing, such a person should be Yang Xiuqing's confidants, how can he help himself?

seemed to see Hong Xiuquan's question, Chen Chengying explained: "The emperor doesn't have to be suspicious, Yang Xiuqing is domineering, Weichen has long been dissatisfied, the emperor may not know, in the early years, the chauffeur of Yan King Qin Rigang did not stand up because he met Yang Xiuqing's Tonggeng uncle, and was executed by Yang Xiuqing, Qin Rigang was beaten with a hundred sticks, Weichen only said a few words for Yan Wang, and was also arrested, and the rod was punished two hundred, since then Weichen is disheartened, if the Kingdom of Heaven falls into the hands of Yang Xiuqing, I am afraid that the soldiers and people of the Kingdom of Heaven will be terrified all day long.

Time is pressing, Weichen dares to swear to the emperor, he is absolutely sincere to the emperor, please don't hesitate! ”

Hong Xiuquan is also a decisive person, he knows that except for this Chen Chengying, who recommended himself, no one can help him pass on the news, not to mention that it is now the worst situation, even if Chen Chengying tells Yang Xiuqing, how bad can it be? Could it be that Yang Xiuqing really dared to kill himself before he pacified the kings?

"I believe in you!" Hong Xiuquan said without looking back: "How to pass the news to the outside world?" ”

Chen Chengying hurriedly said: "The emperor has no time to write the secret edict, Weichen is bold, please take out three personal tokens to Weichen, and Weichen will secretly transfer them to the three kings of Bei, Yi and Yan, I believe that the three kings will enter Beijing immediately after receiving the emperor's token!" ”

Hong Xiuquan didn't think about it, he touched a jade pendant from his waist, and after handing it to Chen Chengying, he hesitated, because except for the jade pendant, he didn't have anything else on him that could prove his identity, and the seal was not in his hands now, but in the hands of those Wang Niang sent to him by Yang Xiuqing.

"Huh?" Hong Xiuquan's heart suddenly moved, looked left and right, and made sure that no one was paying attention to him, so he immediately took off the crown, slashed hard at the center, and pulled out a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg!

You must know that Hong Xiuquan is not without any effort, it is nothing more than indulging in wine and being hollowed out, but there is still a fierce hand to pick a gem.

This gem is the same as his jade pendant, it is also unique, although there is no name on him, but any of the three kings such as Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai and Qin Rigang will definitely be able to recognize it when they see it, as for the missing gem on the hat, Yang Xiuqing will ask about it, he has already thought about it, that is, he does not explain, this is in line with his identity, and saying too much will cause suspicion.

The second token was handed to Chen Chengying, Hong Xiuquan quickly untied the placket again, and tore at the five-clawed golden dragon on the inner robe, and with a loud sound, the golden cloth embroidered with the five-clawed golden dragon pattern was torn off.

The five-clawed golden dragon is for the emperor, and it is the most suitable to prove his identity.

Hong Xiuquan tied the buttons of his clothes and handed the fabric to Chen Chengying, who put it into his arms as quickly as possible, and then said: "Please rest assured, the emperor will send someone to send it today." ”

Hong Xiuquan didn't squeak, and strode forward, now he doesn't have so much anger in his heart, there are just endless killing opportunities, on his must-kill list, Wang Feng was originally ranked first, but now it has become Yang Xiuqing!

On the morning of the same day, Hong Xiuquan was very obedient and canonized Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing also noticed that Hong Xiuquan was missing a jewel in his crown, Hong Xiuquan just snorted coldly, with obvious contempt and arrogance, and sure enough, this relieved Yang Xiuqing's suspicions.

Hong Xiuquan is a phoenix in distress again, but it's always a phoenix, isn't it? The phoenix has a missing gem on its hat, is it necessary to explain it to the chicken?

The canonization ceremony was not long, and after the end, Chen Chengying immediately returned to the house to repair three letters, and handed them to his cronies and sent them to the King of the North, the King of Wings and the King of Yan along with the three tokens of Hong Xiuquan.

Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, was stationed in Danyang, and received a letter and a personal jade pendant with Hong Xiuquan early the next morning.

"Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing, you beat me with a hundred rods, I don't care about you, but the king of heaven told me to kill you, I have to kill you!" Qin Rigang stroked the jade pendant, he was loyal to only one person, and that was Hong Xiuquan.

Four days later, Shi Dakai, who was stationed in Hefei, also received a letter and token, and sat in the government office, his brows were tight and loose, loose and tight, obviously difficult to decide.

"Your Highness!" General Zhang Suimou couldn't help but ask: "But the king of heaven has an edict?" ”

Zhang Suimou is short-sighted, known as Zhang Blind, but this person is deep and resourceful, and is leaned on by Shi Dakai as his heart, although he did not see the letter, but through the five-clawed golden dragon pattern, he quickly judged that it must be a secret edict issued by Hong Xiuquan.

"Hey~~" Shi Dakai sighed, handed over the letter and said, "This is a letter from King Yan, take a look." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Suimou took it in his hand, put his eyes together to take a closer look, and his complexion changed accordingly.

After a while, Zhang Suimou put down the letter and asked, "May I ask Your Highness, but are you worried about King Qin?" ”

Shi Dakai said noncommittally: "You tell me your opinion first." ”

Zhang Sui strategically groaned, and said: "It stands to reason that you are the wing king of the kingdom of heaven, the king of heaven shows the token for help, you must be the king of diligence, but there is the king of Yan, you have to keep an eye on it, the king of Yan has always been at odds with you, at the beginning of the Jintian uprising, the people of the Guixian God Worship Society were originally led by you, but the king of Yan relied on the support of the king of heaven, and fought against you everywhere, you don't care about him in the face of the king of heaven, but he has to inch in, and every time you mix sand in the future, if you send troops to rescue, What should I do if I was poisoned by the edict of King Yan and the fake Heavenly King?

You must know that you have a close relationship with the Democratic Alliance, although you are completely selfless and loyal to the king, but in the eyes of others, they will think that you are a private enemy, no matter which king is in power, he may not be able to understand your hardships, so you might as well sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, sit and watch the changes in Tianjing, and wait for the king of heaven to divide the final victory and defeat, and then make a final decision.

And more importantly, if there is turmoil in Tianjing, will the Democratic Alliance take advantage of the situation? Although Wang Feng has not shown up for a long time, there are many speculations outside, but his subordinates think that Wang Feng may be in Suzhou, secretly watching Tianjing!

The subordinates can guess about one or two about Wang Feng's thoughts, my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there are many contradictions between the kings, and nearly half of the foundation of the Democratic Alliance Army comes from the Taiping Army, and the nameless and participable direct attack on Tianjing may cause dissatisfaction among the old Taiping generals such as Su Sanniang, Lin Fengxiang, and Li Kaifang in the army, but if Tianjing is in civil strife, he will send troops to Tianjing in the name of quelling the chaos, secretly remove the King of Heaven and the East King, and then destroy my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, not only will people have nothing to say, but also a large number of Taiping Army soldiers can be recruited, which is a plan to kill two birds with one stone!
