Hong Xiuquan has been influenced by Confucianism since he was a child, and has formed a certain mindset and thinks that he is unable to surpass it. On the one hand, he denied and criticized Confucius, but on the other hand, he had to rely on Confucianism to become a prominent school in China, and the fundamental reason for this was that Confucius emphasized the ethical guidelines, and the idea of the hierarchy of kings and ministers, fathers and sons was strengthened by the ruling class of successive dynasties, and Confucius was thus shaped into a majestic idol.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was opposed to Confucius, who had been shaped as an idol by the ruling class. In fact, Confucius in the hearts of the peasants is different from Confucius in the puppets of the ruling class, and what Confucius and his doctrines give the peasants is only a general psychological characteristic with Confucian tendencies such as morality, benevolence, and conscience, so the peasants are always unable to fundamentally get rid of the shackles of Confucianism, and Hong Xiuquan is no different. Therefore, they can oppose the idolized Confucius, they can smash the Confucian temple, destroy the Confucian books, but they can't oppose the Confucius in their hearts. As a result, when the Kingdom of Heaven wanted to establish political power according to the old system, Confucianism easily borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul.

Hong Xiuquan was still stunned after listening to Hong Yun'er's words, Hong Yun'er continued: "Brother, at the beginning of our heavenly kingdom, although we had the idea of the great harmony of the world, but if there is chaos today, we still have to have laws and regulations, just like the Confucian saying of the Three Principles and Five Constants, but it is set the etiquette of the monarch and the minister. Therefore, the little sister feels that the holy decree handed down by the Heavenly Father is still reasonable, and it is still necessary to respect the elders and the young in an orderly manner, otherwise the elder brother will not issue the "Kindergarten Poem" to talk about the court, the monarch, the minister, and the family. And this theory of the three outlines and five constants is a Confucian Confucian classic, and it does not have to be abolished. Hong Yun'er got the right idea of Hong Xiuquan, although the leader of the Hong sect put on the cloak of worshipping God, he was a very traditional Confucian in his bones, and he attached great importance to the dignity and humility of the monarch and the minister. Otherwise, he would not have proclaimed himself the king.

After listening to Hong Yun'er's words, Hong Xiuquan pondered for a moment and said: "Heavenly Father's decree: the predicate of the Mandate of Heaven is sexual, the predicate of recklessness is the Tao, and the father can do his best, and the king can do his best. This is very reasonable, I have been Chinese for thousands of years, but not all ancient books are demon books. Little sister, what you said is also reasonable, I will think about it carefully later, issue an edict, and tell the army and the people that the ancient books do not have to be destroyed. Speaking of this, Hong Xiuquan looked at Xiao Yungui and asked, "What do the courtiers think?" ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "What the elder brother said is very true, the younger brother does not have much ink in his chest, just listen to the elder brother's arrangement." ”

Let's talk about it. Seeing that the sun was approaching noon, Hong Xiuquan ordered a banquet to be arranged, and ordered someone to invite the king of the north, the king of wings, and the king of Yan to accompany him, and he invited the king of the west and his wife to a banquet in the palace of the king of heaven.

The king of heaven gave a banquet, and several princes were all in order. There was not much to say during the banquet, they were all polite drinks. During the banquet, he talked about the war in Suzhou and Hangzhou. When Xiao Yungui talked about spending money and food to save the people of Suzhou from the plague. Responses were mixed. The king of heaven only said that the king of the west was benevolent, but the king of the north said that it was the creation of the people of Suzhou, and the king of the wings praised it, but the king of Yan said that it was a pity for the money and grain.

Xiao Yungui was a little disappointed, it seemed that except for the Wing King, the rest of the people didn't seem to have those people in their hearts. Perhaps in their opinion, the people of Suzhou are still demons, and they are not worthy of such care and rescue.

After the banquet was dismissed, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner said goodbye. The couple arrived in Tianjing for half a day, and they didn't go back to the Xiwang Mansion to see the family, so it was not easy for the king to stay, so they ordered someone to send them out of the house.

After sending off the West King and his wife, Hong Xiuquan met the North King, the Wing King, and the Yan King in the secret room.

The lights in the secret room were dim, and the faces of several people were cloudy and uncertain, Hong Xiuquan was sipping the tea, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Wei Changhui was the first to hold it back, got up and said: "Brother, the king of the east is dominant, and it is already difficult to control, and now that the king of the west has returned to Beijing, it seems that it is the same as before, and the two kings of the east and west are united, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to check and balance." Today, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother have descended to earth, one sings with a red face and the other with a white face, and the hundred officials are obedient, and no one dares to resist. ”

Shi Dakai sat down and took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said: "The fifth brother doesn't have to think badly, looking at today's heavenly brother going down to earth, although his voice is fierce, but it is the intention of maintenance, and the heavenly brother said that he would severely punish everyone, that is, he wanted to make dangerous moves and force the heavenly father to forgive, can't you see it?" ”

Qin Rigang snorted coldly and said, "His Royal Highness the Wing King, didn't His Royal Highness the Northern King say it?" One of the two of them sang red face, and the other sang white face, maybe the two of them had already discussed doing this. ”

Shi Dakai frowned slightly and said: "The King of the West is not that kind of person, besides, he has been fighting, how can he secretly communicate with the King of the East?" It's not that we don't have eyeliner on the West King's side, if the East King and the West King have something secret, how can that person not know? ”

Wei Changhui shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that person will change his mind, it's hard to say, people are always husband and wife, will they still help outsiders to deal with their husbands?" ”

Shi Dakai said slightly angrily: "Fifth brother, what you said is not right, the king of the west has no intention of abandoning, we can only fight, we can't force the king of the west to the east, if the east and west join forces, one person is in the master, one is outside, with the strong soldiers in the hands of the two people, how can we control it?" ”

Wei Changhui was still about to ridicule him, but Hong Xiuquan sighed lightly and waved his hand: "It would be nice if Yunshan was still there." ”

Wei Changhui and the others glanced at each other, and they all sat down slowly, thinking that Feng Yunshan was still there in the past, and a few people could be able to check and balance, but now that Feng Yunshan is gone, it is really difficult to check and balance the two kings of the East and the West in the Celestial Empire. Wei Changhui was forced to kill his brother, Shi Dakai's father-in-law was demoted, King Yan was also implicated in the Mafu case, and the Heavenly King was often taught by his Heavenly Father, and several people were indeed a little difficult to resist.

Hong Xiuquan continued: "For today's plan, only by separating the two and leaving one alone, can we use our strategy." ”

Shi Dakai nodded and said: "That's right, the king of the west can't stay in Tianjing, he is in Tianjing, and the king of the east is even more fearless, besides, the king of the west didn't say that he intended to let the younger brother and the fifth brother send troops to Huaishang, the younger brother sees this as an opportunity." ”

Wei Changhui also nodded this time and said: "What the compatriot said is very true, sending troops to Huai can shield the north of Tianjing, and guarding the river must guard Huai." Second, it can also solve the difficulty of our holy treasury silver source in short supply. The third is to lure the king of the west out of Tianjing, so that he can't stay in the capital to open his eyes for the king of the east. As long as the king of the west is not in the capital, and the king of the east is alone, we can slowly use a strategy to control it, and both of them are in the capital, so we have no way to start. ”

Qin Rigang also said: "Yes, His Royal Highnesses the North King and the Wing King go out of Beijing and recruit troops and horses in the land of Anhui and Hubei, so that they can have their own elite soldiers and strong generals, one can balance the soldiers and horses of the West King, and the other makes the East Hall dare not move lightly." The younger brother stayed in the capital to escort him, and continued to secretly recruit people loyal to the Heavenly King, and he could counteract in one fell swoop when the time was right in the future. ”

Hong Xiuquan hummed lightly and said: "This is very good, but you can send Hu Yihuang to Hunan again, Lai Hanying is a little difficult to support over there, and the soldiers and horses over there must also be in our hands." ”

Shi Dakai said with a slight reluctance: "Brother, maybe the younger brother can persuade the King of the West to change his mind, as long as the King of the West is on our side, the King of the East will not be too presumptuous, and we can still ...... as before."

Hong Xiuquan didn't wait for Shi Dakai to finish speaking, then interrupted him coldly: "Once upon a time? In the past, it was the two of them who teamed up to squeeze Yunshan down, and the Zhutang Wang family also joined forces to force them to have no way out, I don't want to mention the past again! After saying that, he got up and brushed his sleeves away.

Shi Dakai was stunned on the spot, Qin Rigang sneered a few times and followed, Wei Changhui walked to Shi Dakai's side and said lightly: "From the day the Heavenly Father descended to earth, it is destined to have today's situation, even if the king of the west is willing to submit, is the king of the east willing?" Dakai, you can't help but be naïve. After saying that, he shook his head and followed.

Shi Dakai looked at Wei Changhui's back in despair, and muttered: "Back then, the six kings were the first righteousness, couldn't everyone work together?" Weishenme will this be the case now? weishenme……”

……

“weishenme？” Xiao Yungui was also muttering softly, and after returning to the Xiwang Mansion, Xiao Yungui, Hong Yun'er and the Xiao family, the Jiang family, and the Huang family hurriedly met, and then returned to the bedroom under the pretext of changing clothes.

Hong Yun'er changed into her regular clothes, walked out from behind the screen and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Xiao Yungui shrugged his shoulders and said, "I mean the Heavenly King, the Weishenme Heavenly King looks so weak and cowardly? As if he didn't care about anything, he hid in the Heavenly King's Mansion all day long, and I always felt that this was not like the Heavenly King. ”

Hong Yun'er also nodded and said: "Yes, I play chess with him, his chess style is arrogant and domineering, not like his style." Then she whispered: "Gai Wen Tang Yu gave way, and he is known as the saint of the ancients." And Tang Wu's conquest is also the fortune of Zhongtian. Han Ding has moved to Xinmang, Liu Wen. It is also reinstated. Huiqin was captured by the Jin people, and King Kang of Song was still anti-national. It is the common feeling of the past dynasties. The story of the old and the new, the story of the tired dynasty. But I am the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and I once founded the country of Nanjing. It was passed to Ji Shihuaizong, and then died in the Northern Turkic. Nai Tianxin has gone, the king is in chaos in China, the pain of the emperor's throne is difficult to stay, and the emperor fled to Wu Yue. Cheng Qing miscalculated, as to drive the tiger and chase the wolf. The regent is bad, just like a long snake sealing a pig. Even if the successful person retreats, how difficult is it to die for the country. The virtuous are in place, so that the virtuous have no hatred. ”

Xiao Yungui sighed slightly, what Hong Yun'er memorized was the text made by Hong Xiuquan during the Jintian Uprising, although he couldn't remember the full text, but Hong Yun'er remembered it as soon as he memorized it.

“…… The hope of the whole world leads the land, and the son is in Xianyang. Work together to annihilate businessmen in Makino. Re-cherishing the old industry, rebuilding Piji, forbearance to make the kingdom of the crown in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the heroes of the Central Plains returned my mountains and rivers......" Hong Yun'er read it again and then said: "Although King Hong distorted the doctrine and slandered the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in every way, his heart of opposing the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restoring China is indeed true, otherwise he would not have turned a Christianity that preaches the gospel into a God-worshipping religion that punishes demons. ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and sighed: "I'm worried that King Hong Tian is deliberately showing weakness and paralyzing the East King, so there must be a plan!" (To be continued......)
