Chapter 286: Heavenly King Xiuquan
Tianwangfu east to Huangjiatang, west to Beiting Lane, north to pontoon, Taiping Bridge line, south to Ke Lane. It is known as "the palace wall is ninefold, and the building is sublime". Miyagi is divided into two parts, known as Sun City on the outside, Golden Dragon City on the inside, and moats on the outside. The main gate of Sun City is the Gate of the Heavenly Dynasty, the main gate of the Golden Dragon City is the Gate of the Holy Heaven, and the main hall is the Golden Dragon Palace. There are also two halls, three halls, there is a hall through the harem, zuihou is the back forest garden, there are gardens on the east and west sides.
In the later history of Xiao Yungui, the Tianwang Mansion later became the Nanjing Presidential Palace, but Xiao Yungui always felt that there was a problem with feng shui here, otherwise why did the two generations of power centers established here collapse?
On the Golden Dragon Palace, Xiao Yungui saw the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan, and the last time they met in Changsha is different, this time the king of heaven wears a dragon and phoenix golden crown, the golden crown is like an ancient pocket style, a dragon on the left and right, which is close to a phoenix, a spear is erected on the top of the helmet, all around are jewels, the crown is embroidered with double dragons and a single phoenix, the two words of the king of gold in the column, a bright yellow satin robe, nine dragons are embroidered on the robe, and the yellow satin boots are embroidered, and the golden dragon is embroidered, and each boot is embroidered with eight pieces, which is very glamorous. It's just the dragon embroidered on the dragon robe and boots, each dragon's eyes are an eye circle enlarged, and the eyeballs are narrowed, such a strange dragon Xiao Yungui is not the first time to see it, because the West King Dragon robe he is wearing is also like this.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom despised the Qing Dynasty's clothing, believing that shaving hair and braids were "a slave mark imposed on the people", so they began to wear traditional costumes (in fact, the costumes of the Han people in the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties) to fight, and "discarded" the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty, "trampled back and forth", and stipulated that "no gauze hats and pheasant feathers should be used", "no horseshoe sleeves" and so on. In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Yong'an years, the initial formulation of the crown clothing system, after the capture of Changsha, "the horse clothing is different", after the capital Tianjing, and then modified. and set up a wardrobe.
The crowns and hats of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom generals included horn hats, hoods, cool hats and hats. The horn hat is decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns on the hat. The court dress is divided into two kinds of robes, long robes and horse coats, with round necks and wide sleeves, embroidered with patterns, and used patterns to distinguish positions. The horse coat has two colors, red and yellow, and the position is distinguished by color. In fact, the horse coat is not a unique clothing of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when the horse coat passed to China, it is not possible to test, but it is recorded that it began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was established in the Three Kingdoms, flourished in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and evolved traces. Probably the same as the pleats of the trousers. The Manchu horse coat mostly used large sleeves to the cardigan coat, while the horse coat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was different.
However, the dragon robe is not unique to the king of heaven in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, except for the king of heaven can wear it, other officials must be according to the occasion, and low-level officials definitely do not wear dragon robes. But the hat with a dragon pattern is the first uniform of most officials. And the kings also wore dragon robes, but the number of dragons embroidered on their bodies was different. The Heavenly King is embroidered with nine dragons. One less king in the east is eight dragons, and the rest decrease in turn. When Hong Xiuquan launched an uprising, he used the mouth of God to call the dragon "devil" and "monster", and then when he wore a dragon robe, he couldn't explain it, so he shot the dragon through one eye. It is said that the baby golden dragon comes from Yuanqi, which is why there is such a strange dragon robe embroidery.
When Xiao Yungui came to the Golden Dragon Palace, Hong Xiuquan was playing against Hong Yun'er and saw him coming. The Heavenly King pushed the shelf and came down the jade steps to greet him with a smile.
Xiao Yungui knew that this Hong Xiuquan pretended to be affectionate, and immediately bowed to the knees, Hong Xiuquan smiled and helped Xiao Yungui up and said: "The court's compatriots are hard, the courtiers are hard, come and sit down and talk." ”
Hong Yun'er also followed with a smile, and the three of them sat down on the red silk chair in the hall, Hong Xiuquan said with a smile: "The court compatriots went to Changsha, Kehengyang, captured Wuchang, and occupied Jinling, and now they are reviving the south and expanding the territory for my heavenly kingdom. ”
Xiao Yungui hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said: "The little brother doesn't dare, the king of heaven has all the opportunities, and he still thinks about the little brother in his heart, and the little brother is honored." ”
Hong Xiuquan looked at Hong Yun'er with a smile and said: "Look at our King of the West, you have been following your sister for a long time, and you have also learned to write crepe, and it is not the King of the West who only knew how to fight and charge." ”
Xiao Yungui smiled slightly and said, "Second brother, thanks to Xuanjiao, the younger brother can read more." ”
At the moment, Hong Xiuquan chatted with Xiao Yungui very enthusiastically about his daily life, and most of the questions were about daily life and food, and occasionally asked about military and political affairs.
The more he talked about Xiao Yungui, the more suspicious he became, no matter how Hong Xiuquan looked at it, he didn't look like the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but like the kind of long-winded otaku uncle in later generations. And when talking, Hong Xiuquan changed three kinds of tea, ate five snacks, and applied a fragrant soup bath towel to his face three times.
Then Xiao Yungui changed the topic, talking about the handling of the captured generals of the Qing army, Hong Xiuquan only said: "You can discuss this matter with Xiu compatriots." ”
Xiao Yungui talked about the new deal in southern Jiangsu again, but Hong Xiuquan shook his head and said: "Compatriots, our doctrine also says, the world is one family, equality is no other, what we want to build is a prosperous world where there is money to make the same envoys, have clothes to wear, have land to cultivate, and the world is for the public. This matter is not properly considered by the compatriots. ”
Xiao Yungui was stunned, it seems that the legacy of the Christian concept of equality in this Hong sect leader is very deep, and he dreams of establishing the ancient kind of prosperous world where the world is public, but he himself can't be the saint of Yao Shunyu soup, and he hides in the deep palace to be extravagant and lascivious, but the people outside are still eating black beans and rice bran, and he still has the face to say that the world is public?
At the moment, Xiao Yungui didn't want to bother with him more, you must know that Sect Master Hong has a hard and stinky temper, Yang Xiuqing often persuaded him not to move, and he could only use the big killer weapon of Heavenly Father to go down to earth to cure him, he couldn't just let Brother Tian go down to earth, so he didn't have to say anything, it was useless to say it, Hong Xiuquan wouldn't listen to it.
At the moment, when it came to sending troops to the north, Hong Xiuquan had no objection this time, and said: "Compatriots, you and Xiu compatriots can discuss the affairs of the army, you can fight the war, and you must share more of the burden on the shoulders of Xiu compatriots, and take care of some military affairs for him. ”
Hong Xiuquan lightly said a few words to make Xiao Yungui slightly surprised, this otaku uncle turned out to be not stupid, he knew very well in his heart, if he didn't wear the same pants as Yang Xiuqing, his words would arouse his thoughts to fight for Yang Xiuqing's military power, this Hong Sect Master is really not to be underestimated.
But Xiao Yungui is not stupid, he will act as Hong Xiuquan's pawn and rush to the front to fight for military power with Yang Xiuqing, and bowed down and said: "The second brother has learned a lesson, but the younger brother is still tender, and he still needs to listen to the words of the second brother and the fourth brother." The younger brother has some laws in the army, but the talents of the main brother and the big brother are not under the little brother, and later they will testify with the main brother and the big brother, but there is no need for the little brother to control the soldiers and horses. ”
Seeing that Xiao Yungui didn't accept this hot potato, Hong Xiuquan sighed, and no longer insisted, and asked: "I heard that you have a lot of contact with Xiyi people in Shanghai, and they also believe in God of Heavenly Father Emperor, do those foreign brothers know about me?" ”
Xiao Yungui replied: "The prestige of the Heavenly King spreads all over the world, and the Xiyi people naturally know about it, and this time the younger brother returned to Beijing, and they also sent a lot of tributes for the younger brother to transfer." ”
Hong Xiuquan's face became happy, and he said with a smile: "These foreign brothers really have a heart, why don't you let them come to Beijing together, and I can discuss the doctrine with them?" ”
Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er glanced at each other, and both of them thought in their hearts, who would dare to let them come, if these foreign priests listened to the strange teachings of your Sect Master Hong, they would not be crazy before they would see the hell.
Hong Yun'er said: "Brother, most of those priests who preach in Shanghai are from other sects, and their teachings are very different from ours. Xiaomei is still educating them, and after they switch to my teachings, I will let them enter Beijing. Hong Yun'er hurriedly dispelled Hong Xiuquan's idea, Hong Yun'er's Taiping Christian reform in the West Temple was still beginning to bear fruit, and the clergy of various countries were only regarded as a changing branch of Christianity in China, which was still acceptable, but Hong Yun'er knew that they absolutely could not accept Hong Xiuquan's strange teachings, let alone Hong Xiuquan's self-proclaimed second son of God. Therefore, it is resolute not to let foreigners come to Tianjing, otherwise they will show their feet when they meet.
The missionaries of the West Temple were all taught by Hong Yun'er, and the West King and his wife were god-like figures in the West Temple Army, not to mention that the West King was possessed by a heavenly brother, and the identity of Hong Yun'er's heavenly father's daughter was also quite scary, and the doctrinal reform carried out by Hong Yun'er in the West Temple was relatively smooth. In fact, to be honest, in the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, except for Sect Master Hong, no one really understands this doctrine, if Feng Yunshan is still there, he may be counted as one, but King Nan has died, and only Sect Master Hong is the only one who understands the doctrine. The soldiers and civilians of the Heavenly Kingdom feel that there is actually no difference between worshipping God and worshipping Bodhisattva in their hearts, just like the evil dragon mentioned earlier, sometimes Hong Xiuquan himself is difficult to justify, and Hong Yun'er's change of doctrine is considered by the big guy to be a kind of perfection of the doctrine, so no one delves into the difference between it and Tianjing's teachings.
After Hong Xiuquan listened to Hong Yun'er's words, he nodded and said: "Little sister is right, then you should educate the foreign brothers a lot, you must know that God the Father and Emperor God have believed in me in ancient China, and this is the authentic doctrine, although the Xiyi people have learned some rare things in the past, and they have made a lot of teachings, but we can't despise him. ”
Hong Yun'er listened to Sect Leader Hong's words, couldn't help laughing, and said with a straight face: "Brother, this teaching and no kind of words seem to be the words of Confucius." ”
Hong Xiu's overall expression was slightly embarrassed, after all, he was a person who had read the book of Confucius for more than ten years, and sometimes Kong Sheng's words could not help but be spoken, this was a matter of habit.
Hong Yun'er continued: "Brother, I heard that the Heavenly Father came down to pass the decree and asked us not to destroy the ancient books, in fact, the little sister feels that many books like the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Book of Confucius and Mencius can still be kept, even if they can't be kept, but a lot of words have penetrated into our bones, I'm afraid that we can't get rid of it, so be generous and allow these books to be kept."
