Above the hall of the Nanjing Governor's Yamen, Xiao Yungui's broken gong voice was broken, and the civil officials of the West Hall who were eating refreshments and chatting and laughing in the hall were startled, and even Hong Yuner and Li Xuanji looked back at Xiao Yungui and Zuo Zongtang in a daze. Everyone's hearts are full of joy, the king of the west has not been so angry even if he is above the battle, what happened to the king of the west, will be so disrespectful?

Zuo Zongtang coughed lightly and instructed the knife hand at the door: "Hurry up and invite the two generals Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang over." Then he whispered to Xiao Yungui: "King Xi, we need to think about this matter in the long run, this is not the place to speak." ”

Xiao Yungui came back to his senses, and said with an angry face: "Okay, let's discuss things in the inner court." After that, she turned around and glanced at Hong Yun'er, Hong Yun'er knew that something must have happened, so she told Li Xuanji to go back first after packing up later, and she followed Xiao Yungui to the inner hall.

Zuo Zongtang nodded, turned around and said to Li Shourong in the hall: "Mengying, you and everyone continue to act on official business, but if there is something undecided, you will report it to the king of the west later." Then he turned his head to Wang Minyun and said, "Renqiu came in with me." ”

Wang Minyun put down the paperwork in his hand, followed Zuo Zongtang through the corridor of the lobby, and came to the inner hall, only to see the king of the west sitting on the first place with a solemn face and pondering, the queen of the west stood aside and looked at the secret letter, and her face became more and more solemn. Wang Minyun didn't know what was going on, he served the king of the west for several months, and the king of the west and his wife were always calm and unhurried between attacking the city and plundering the land, and they had never seen the two of them like this, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy in their hearts.

After Zuo Zongtang and Wang Minyun sat down, Zuo Zongtang also pondered without speaking, but Wang Minyun didn't know what was going on, and he was a little itchy and couldn't help but look at the secret letter.

Hong Yun'er sighed lightly after reading the letter and said: "What should come will always come, as the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, so many of us, we will definitely be able to come up with a way." After saying that, he saw that Wang Minyun had a puzzled look on his face, so he immediately handed over the secret letter.

Wang Minyun took the secret letter and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, he looked up at Zuo Zongtang and said, "Brother Ji, this is ......."

Zuo Zongtang twisted his beard and frowned: "Ren Qiu is only eight buckets tall, you should also think about how to deal with it." The four of them fell silent, each of them pondering.

After a while, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang arrived, and Xiao Yungui did not wait for the two generals to salute, beckoned the two to sit down and said: "Late at night, I urgently summoned you to come here to discuss something important, the rumors of the Qing Demon this time are very powerful, Mr. Zuo, you can talk about it." ”

Lin Li and the second general don't know what happened, but it is common to want to clear the demon and spread rumors, and I don't know how many I have encountered along the way, why does the king of the west attach so much importance to it this time?

I saw Zuo Zongtang cough lightly and stood up and said: "Bai Zetang just came to the news, northern Hunan, southern Hunan, southern Anhui, northern Jiangxi and other places have been circulating rumors in recent days, this rumor is based on the 32nd hexagram of the Taoist priest Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. His prophecy said, his head has hair, his clothes are afraid of white, and in peacetime, the king kills the king. There is a poem that says, Taiping sees blood flowers flying, and the five-color chapter becomes the inside and outside. The flood is monstrous, and the Central Plains has seen everything beyond dream. ”

General Lin Li was confused when he heard it, and he didn't know why, Lin Fengxiang said strangely: "Mr. Zuo, what kind of plan does the Qing Demon use to spread rumors about the Taoist priests of the Tang Dynasty, what is so powerful?" ”

Zuo Zongtang said in a deep voice: "Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang are masters of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all good at astrology. This push back picture is the painstaking work of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, and it is their speculation about the events of the dynasties after the Tang Dynasty corresponding to the hexagram and celestial phenomena. There are 60 images in the book, which are named after 60 jiazi and hexagrams. Under each image is a proverb and four verses of a hymn that prophesies prosperity and chaos in the future. The title of the book pushes the back picture, which is based on the sixtieth image, and it is impossible to say that it is better to push the back to return to the rest. ”

Li Kaifang sighed and said: "I see, are the two Taoist priests' hexagrams accurate?" ”

Zuo Zongtang sighed lightly, and before he could speak, Hong Yun'er continued: "Of course, Jin Shengsi, a talented man in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, has a book of "Commenting on Tui Bei Tu", which comments on what happened in the previous dynasty in response to each hexagram, and the major events that happened after the Tang Dynasty correspond to the Tui Bei Tu, and the subsequent Anshi Rebellion, the Five Dynasties Rebellion, and the establishment of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties all have hexagram correspondence. For example, in the thirty-three hexagrams, it is said that the water of the Yellow River is clean and smooth, and the host and guest have no children. Song said, the sky is long and the white waterfall comes, Hu is not popular, the feudal clan is withdrawn, and the childish child is half sad. Jin Shengsigh commented that this image is a sign of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs. The anti-customer is also a matter of anger, and it is not human power that can be recovered. Liaojin and then the Hu people were the two lords of the Central Plains, and the Huanghuang Han people were worthy of it. In fact, in this poem, the feudal domain is withdrawn, and the sentence that the childish child is half sad is talking about Kangxi's cutting of the feudal domain and Wu Sangui's rebellion. It's just that Jin Shengxi died of illness during the Shunzhi period, and he couldn't speculate about it. ”

Xiao Yungui looked at Hong Yun'er, both of them have read this "Push Back Map", Xiao Yungui read it as a prophecy book, in fact, this book not only predicted the affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom very accurately, but even the later British and French alliance invasion of Beijing, the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Shijie War, the Japanese invasion of China, the Second World War, the founding of New China, etc., all of which were clearly predicted, thinking that the previous prophecy had come true, Xiao Yungui naturally had a cold back on his back.

Lin Li Er General listened but his face changed, Zuo Zongtang nodded and said: "Xi Wang Niang is well-read and strong, it is really powerful, Jin Sheng sighed this book, Zuo Mou also read it when he was a miscellaneous book, and he was amazed at the magic of this push back map, what the thirty-four hexagrams said, Zuo Mou seemed to be unable to understand it at that time, but when I thought about it at the moment, I understood that these thirty-four hexagrams are about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." ”

Lin Li and the second general glanced at each other, only to see that the other party had panic in his eyes, Lin Fengxiang asked anxiously: "Mr. Zuo, how to solve this hexagram?" ”

Zuo Zongtang sighed: "This hexagram Jin Shengsigh is explained like this, it is easy to prove the past, but it is difficult to push the future, but since the past is proven, it seems that it has to be pushed to the future." I hope that from now on, those who so-called peaceful rule will be fortunate to win, and those who are not peaceful will be fortunate to win, and I can be acquitted. This image is suspected to be seen by floods or wars and natural disasters, and this chaos is also. Jin Shengxian was a person in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, so naturally he didn't know about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom now, so he could only speculate that this was a mess. Now that Zuo is reading this poem again, the sentence that he has hair on his head and is afraid of white clothes is that the clothes of the Taiping Holy Soldiers are the most taboo in white clothes in heaven, isn't it? In this peacetime, the sentence of the king killing the king directly mentioned the name of the kingdom of heaven. Taiping also saw blood flowers flying, Taiping refers to the end of the Taiping years, the beginning of the war, but also hints at the name of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the five-color chapter into the inner coat, is also the Taiping holy soldier's clothing. The flood is monstrous and the seedlings do not show this sentence, which hints at the name of the king of heaven. ”

Li Kaifang has a very good memory, and Zuo Zongtang seems to have two unsolved sentences in front of him, so he asked: "Sir, what is the interpretation of the two sentences that the king killed the king and the Central Plains had seen a dream?" ”

Zuo Zongtang's face changed slightly, and he hesitated a little, but he didn't answer. Hong Yun'er bit her red lip and said: "This king killing the king is what the Qing demon used to spread rumors, saying that the king of the west will kill the king of heaven and the king of the east and replace them." And the Central Plains once saw that the dream was not all true, and the Qing Demon said that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom once occupied the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, but in the end it was a dream, and Zuihou, the king of the West, could not escape defeat. The latter sentence is fine, but the previous sentence of the king killing the king is really annoying. At present, our West Temple army has gone on an expedition and captured the city of Nanjing, and it is difficult to guarantee that the King of Heaven and the King of the East will not be taboo, and now the Qing Demon will use "Tui Bei Tu" to make such a prophecy, which will inevitably make the King of Heaven and the King of the East even more suspicious. ”

Zuo Zongtang nodded and sighed: "If the situation in the country is good today, the Qing army is no longer able to fight back, I am afraid that I will cause trouble to the Xiao Wall, if the kings are suspicious of the king of the west, it will be a sign of defeat." I don't know who came up with this rumor, and I can see the shortcomings in heaven at a glance, and he just said a few words, and he made me wait to tie my hands and feet, which is really powerful. ”

Li Kaifangqi said: "The King of the West is loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven, and he is even more affectionate to the King of Heaven and the King of the East like brothers. ”

Wang Minyun got up and said: "General Li doesn't know, the army of the West Palace has recovered Nanjing, this city was originally the former capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Demon has spoken ill of each other on top of the rumors, saying that the King of the West has the heart of not being subordinate, if the King of Heaven and the King of the East hear this rumor, and I have no action in the West Palace, it is to ask the King of Heaven and the King of the East how not to be suspicious?" ”

Lin Fengxiang said angrily: "These Qing Demon Hu Nu, they can't beat us in battle, but they use such despicable tricks!" Shame on the fuck! ”

Xiao Yungui only breathed a sigh of relief at this time, stood up and said slowly: "The two armies are fighting, naturally they do everything, this king admires the Qing demon who thought of this rumor, this person must be very familiar with our heavenly kingdom, knowing the delicate situation in my heavenly kingdom, and can make us extremely uncomfortable with one move." Now the army of the West Palace occupies Nanjing, counting the cities occupied along the way, it can be said that the land is vast and there are many people, and it is the situation that the lord is weak and the minister is strong. It seems that we will expand our territory later, occupy the land on both sides of the river, and our plan to go east to Jiangsu and Zhejiang will have to be slowed down. ”

Zuo Zongtang sighed lightly: "The king of the west is right, for the sake of today's plan to dispel the doubts of the king of heaven and the king of the east, only the west hall takes the initiative to give up Nanjing, and respectfully invites the king of heaven and the king of the east to move to Nanjing, and hand over the city along the river, in order to eliminate the disaster of the Xiao Wall, otherwise it will definitely cause suspicion." ”

Lin and Li were all depressed, and the city that had been fought hard along the way in the west hall was about to be let out in a blink of an eye, and they were really depressed.

Xiao Yungui muttered: "This Nanjing City, the cities along the river, and the important towns are still in the hands of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so you brothers don't have to mind." The king has made up his mind, immediately to the king of Changsha, the king of the east, please move to Nanjing, as the foundation of the country, the city along the river can also be handed over, once delivered, along the river city in the west hall soldiers and horses quickly eastward, we find another place to settle! ”
