Besides, the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan, he forcibly suppressed his anger and left the Dongwang Mansion, dragged his heavy legs, returned to the palace of the Heavenly King's Mansion, retreated left and right, threw himself on the bed, and scolded in his heart: Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing, you are so arrogant, you dare to use the mouth of the Heavenly Father to falsely pass on the holy decree and force me to abdicate. Hmph, how can I tolerate you! Now that I've arrived at this field, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Hong Xiuquan knows very well that Yang Xiuqing has strong strength and many minions, and if he is not careful, his life will not be guaranteed. Today is dealing with the past, what will happen tomorrow? The current method can only be in accordance with Shi Dakai's construction, on the surface actively prepare for the Zen throne ceremony, with the fake as the true, to stabilize Yang Xiuqing, let him get carried away, and when the East Hall relaxes the garrison, secretly dispatch troops and generals, concentrate the soldiers and horses of the four kings of North, Yi, Yan, and Yu in Tianjing, and take Yang Xiu by surprise!

Yes, only in this way did he secretly conspire: Hong Xiuquan, Hong Xiuquan, you misused people and gave them a handle, which caused a big disaster. Now, it's time to make up your mind. When the interruption continues, there will be trouble. The first to strike is strong, and the last to strike suffers! He made up his mind, and ordered the food to be served. Talking and laughing in front of people, as if nothing had happened.

The next day, Hong Xiuquan ascended to the main hall and solemnly announced to the civil and military officials: On August 17, the sixth year of Bingchen, the Zen throne was given to the king of the east. He also assigned Hu Yihuang, Meng Deen, and Chen Chengchrome to form a Zen throne ceremony to prepare the yamen, make dragon crowns and dragon robes for the East King, purchase fragrant flowers, and decorate the Heavenly King's Mansion and Imperial Garden. From this day on, the military and civilians of Tianjing were mobilized, and thousands of households painted their facades and leveled the streets.

In front of the Tianwang Mansion, it is a busy scene, hundreds of craftsmen are painting the main gate of the Tianwang Mansion and rebuilding the rooftop. Because this is the place where the throne of the Heavenly King is handed over, the project is very huge. People carry rocks and soil, shuttling back and forth. It's in full swing. The streets and alleys are also a joyful scene. Everyone in the East Hall raised their eyebrows, and the four words of triumph were engraved on the faces of the people in the East Hall, but they didn't know that a bloody killing was coming.

At night, the people were asleep, and no one knew that in the secret room of the Heavenly King's Mansion, they were discussing political affairs. Wei Changhui, the king of the north, Shi Dakai, the king of Yan, Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, Hu Yihuang, the king of Yu, Meng Deen, Chen Chengying and others gathered together, and everyone came to the Tianwang Mansion after dressing up in disguise. Fortunately, during the day, the king of heaven announced the matter of the Zen throne, and the people in the east hall seemed to be beginning to relax. Moreover, there are many people who decorate the streets and alleys, and only a few princes can get out of the mansion.

Between the dim lights, Wei Changhui spoke first, and he said with a slight choked voice: "The eastern thief persecuted his brother Ruosi, and the younger brother's heart was like oil. Now that the thief has torn his face, the brother doesn't have to worry about anything anymore. Tomorrow, we will gather soldiers and horses to protect the holy chariot. ”

Hong Xiuquan patted Wei Changhui on the shoulder. After glancing at everyone, he also wept and said: "The East has to make inches, and the deception is too great." I remember that he has contributed to the kingdom of heaven, and I have repeatedly tolerated humility and hoped that he would wake up soon. I hate this thing, and I think I'm weak and deceitful. Under the pretense of the Father's mouth, he forced me to abdicate. I was forced to have no choice, so I summoned all my brothers to return to Beijing to eliminate harm for the country. ”

Hong Xiuquan said again: "You are my confidants. It's like flesh and blood. Support the dynasty, and help me get rid of the rebellion! After that, I couldn't stop crying.

Wei Changhui and others hurriedly knelt down and touched the ground with their heads, Wei Changhui cried: "The elder brother is as kind to the younger brother as a mountain, and the younger brother is engraved in his heart and will never be forgotten." The elder brother just commanded, and the younger brother went to the soup and fire, and he would never give up. Qin Rigang also said in a rough voice: "Brother Chen is willing to serve His Majesty." Shi Dakai said: "This matter should be discussed in detail, otherwise it will be widely implicated and will shake the country's foundation." ”

Hong Xiuquan helped the North King and the Wing King up, and ordered everyone to return to their seats, Hong Xiuquan said: "What the Da compatriot said is very true, this eradication of the East Evil, must be carefully considered, I will hand over this matter to the Chang Dynasty Dai I am responsible for, and control the whole army and the civil and military forces in Beijing." Those who violate the order and do not comply with it will be killed. As soon as these words came out, everyone glanced at the Wing King, but saw that his expression was as usual, and there was nothing unusual.

Wei Changhui knelt down, kowtowed three times, then stood up and said to everyone: "Changhui is a mediocre person, he has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Holy Grace of the Lord, and he dares not to do his best to repay His Majesty?" It's hard to be alone, and I hope that all the brothers will assist. ”

Shi Dakai and the others said in unison: "I would like to hear the six-thousand-year-old mission." Wei Changhui also said: "The soldiers are fast, and the late ones will change." When Cheng Dongxin was still proud, he would give him a thunderbolt tonight. Da Cell Listen to the Order! "Yes!" Shi Dakai stood up. "One thousand guards from the Yiwang Mansion, eight hundred guards from the Heavenly King's Mansion and eight hundred guards from the Heavenly King's Mansion set out at three o'clock in Yin to block the streets outside the East Wangfu, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the Dongwang Mansion without the Heavenly King's decree!" Shi Dakai did not hesitate and led loudly.

followed Wei Changhui and said: "Qin Rigang! Qin Rigang stood up and bowed. You concentrate all the forces in your hands and block the front and back gates of Dong's Mansion to prevent his reinforcements. "Comply."

"Hu Yihuang!" "In!" Yu Wang Shili, Wei Changhui said: "How many people do you have in your hands?" Hu Yihuang replied: "More than 550 people." "Good! You gather your men and horses and block all the traffic intersections leading to the Tianjing Defense Army camp, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my orders. "Comply."

"Chen Chengying, Meng Deen!" "Yes." The two stood up and waited for the dispatch. Wei Changhui said: "How many people do you have in your hands? Chen Chengying said, "I only have 200 people. Meng Deen said, "I have two hundred people, just like Chen Hou. Wei Changhui said: "The two of them are annoying, and each of them will lead their own people and horses to block the area around the Loess Slope to prevent the rampant chaos of the Dongxi Dead Party." If there is a person who reports the news or shouts for help, he will be beheaded on the spot and will not be tolerated. "Comply."

Wei Changhui followed and said: "The safety of the Heavenly King's Mansion is guarded by the National Sect Hong Renda, and our people have their left arm wrapped in Bai Zhong to remember in case of misunderstanding." This prince led the Beifu to protect a thousand people and the soldiers and horses of the King of Yan went straight to the East Wangfu to kill the thieves! As soon as Wei Changhui's word killing thief came out, everyone suddenly felt the bloody chill in the air.

Shi Dakai couldn't help but look at Hong Xiuquan and said: "Brother Wang, the responsibility for this rebellion is only Yang Xiuqing, and you must not kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

Hong Xiuquan's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something and held back, Wei Changhui interjected when he saw this: "Da is confused, you must know that the 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Tianjing Defense Army are the soldiers and horses of the East Palace, and we can only relieve the distress of Tianjing by quickly killing the head of the East Palace, destroying its head, and cutting off its wings." If it is a woman's benevolence for a while, not to mention that Yang Fuqing still has a large army outside, it is the Tianjing Defense Army that is causing chaos, and we can't resist it. ”

Shi Dakai said disapprenously: "Although the Tianjing defense army is the soldiers and horses of the East Palace, most of them are dedicated to the King of Heaven and the Kingdom of Heaven. The kingdom of heaven has finally prospered at this time, and it must not kill too much or even destroy the city walls. ”

Hong Xiuquan still didn't speak, Wei Changhui waved his hand and said: "Brother Da, as the so-called human heart separates the belly, how do you know whether others are loyal or traitorous?" Besides, those people have followed Yang Xiuqing for many years, and they are the ones who are the thieves, so why kill them? ”

At this moment, Hong Xiuquan finally spoke: "Da brother, now that the matter is urgent, just obey the orders of the king of the north." Shi Dakai sighed lightly and stopped talking, the most important thing now is to get rid of Yang Xiuqing first, and the rest of the things will be talked about later, but Shi Dakai has made up his mind that after controlling the overall situation, he will definitely minimize the killing.

followed Wei Changhui to glance at the big grandfather clock in the imperial study, and said: "Now that the change has just been handed over, everyone will go back to prepare immediately, wait for the fourth watch, and we will do it together." Everyone received the order, bid farewell to the king, and divided up and prepared to go. Wei Changhui also bid farewell to the Heavenly King, took Qin Rigang with him, and left the Heavenly King's Mansion proudly.

At the same time, the Xiwang Mansion in Suzhou was also brightly lit, and the senior generals of the West Palace were also anxiously waiting for news from Tianjing. When the big clock in the hall pointed to twelve o'clock, the continuous bell rang slowly, and I saw an official of the Intelligence Department walking into the hall quickly, and said loudly: "The flying pigeon of Zhenjiang has arrived, and today the king of heaven announced the throne of the East King!" ”

Qian Jiang immediately took the letter and hurriedly looked at it and handed it to Zuo Zongtang, Zuo Zongtang read it and handed it to the King of the West, and then laughed loudly and said: "The matter is settled, it seems that tomorrow, the King of Heaven will definitely unite the kings to make a move against the King of the East!" ”

Xiao Yungui stood up and took the letter and glanced at it, the big hands covered with calluses and scars couldn't help but start to tremble, and then let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's finally here, Zuo Xiang, what should we do next?" ”

Zuo Zongtang twisted his beard and said: "According to the previous strategy, the First Army handed over the defense of Fujian to the local township soldiers and Chen Kai's righteous army, and the First Army prepared to enter Jiangxi to monitor Yang Fuqing's troops. The Second Army has recently gone out to fight one after another, and has forced the Seng Lingqin Department to retreat for more than 100 miles, and now it can temporarily collect troops, and the first division of the Second Army will stay behind, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will prepare to enter Anhui to monitor the soldiers and horses of the Northern Wang. The Third Army moved to Guangde and prepared to go north to Tianjing. The Fourth Army marched towards Zhenjiang, ready to march west to Tianjing with the Navy Division at any time! In the end, Zuo Zongtang stood beside the King of the West and looked at the generals in the West Hall and said loudly: "Princes! From the battle of the dragon in this move, whether the west hall can enter the main Tianjing to get back what belongs to us depends on this battle, all the princes should move forward, and the west hall is the most important! Emphasis on the King of the West! Heaven first! ”

All the generals and officials of the West Hall all received orders loudly, and they all turned around and went to their respective errands, and the entire West Hall began to run at high speed like a well-run machine, and no one was idle.

Hong Yun'er had been sitting aside, at this time she saw Xiao Yungui's back, and found that the wide back was faintly trembling, so she stepped forward at the moment, held his big hand tightly, and whispered: "We have been waiting for so long, this moment is finally coming, no matter what the result is, I am with you." ”

After listening to Hong Yun'er's words, Xiao Yungui finally suppressed the excitement and uneasiness in his heart, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, no matter what, we are all together, and our children." Then he sighed softly and said, "I don't know what happened to Tianjing at this moment, maybe the killing has already begun while we speak......" (To be continued......
