Chapter 467: Who Will Take the Throne
Sealing the knife to save people seems to be just a prosaic sentence, but it is a strong signal released by those who hold the real power, and the order of Tianjing is about to be restored. Since the Tianjing Incident, the Beidian military took control of the Tianjing City, Wei Changhui was worried about the chaos of the military and civilians in the city, so he began to implement very strict military management, strictly prohibiting the gathering of more than three people during the day, and implementing a curfew after dark. Moreover, several brutal and bloody killings were completed on the streets, and the North Temple Army searched everywhere to kill the remnants of the East Temple, which made the people of Tianjing City even more panicked and disorderly.
Many people did not dare to go out, for fear of being killed by the rebels, because many families were either out of food, salt, or firewood, in short, there was a shortage of everything in Tianjing City.
Although there are still a lot of armed new troops patrolling the streets, they are much better than the North Temple soldiers who kill people when they see them, as long as you obey the law, they will not interfere with what you do, and they will even take the initiative to help you with some small favors, and their attitude is also extremely amiable. After going through those hellish days, the sudden appearance of such a group of angelic soldiers made the people of Tianjing City feel a great relief, their idea is actually very simple, whoever can protect them and treat them well, they will support whomever they want.
On the day he entered the city, Xiao Yungui saw the corpse of the king of heaven, and at that moment, Xiao Yungui suddenly found that his acting skills could be compared to those Oscar actors. Xiao Yungui stumbled up, crying tears came out of his eyes, this guy's loud voice and earth-shattering crying can definitely shock everyone present.
"Heavenly King, brother, the younger brother is late, the younger brother is late, the younger brother is not able to save the driver, so I will go to heaven with my brother......" Xiao Yungui cried for a while. Then he pulled out the saber and prepared to wipe his neck, Tang Erniu, who was guarding on the side, naturally would not let him get his wish, and several Xiwang personal guards went up to take down the saber, and the ministers and generals on the left and right hurriedly persuaded him, and this qiē was naturally a vivid performance in front of many remnants of the generals in Tianjing.
Most of the generals in Tianjing were moved by the sincerity of the West King, but a few sober people were extremely disgusted with the actions of the West King, why did the army of the West Palace have been in Xiaolingwei for so long to attack last night? If the city had been attacked a day earlier, the Heavenly King might not have ascended to heaven.
Most sober people chose to bow their heads and be silent, but there were also hot-blooded and impulsive second stunned people, and Zhong Fangli, the brother-in-law of the Heavenly King and the prime minister of Qiuguanzheng, stood up. Pointing at Xiao Yungui and scolding loudly: "West thief, you and Dong Xin were originally a nest of snakes and rats, and this time when you returned to Beijing, King Qin's words sounded good, but the army was delayed in Xiaolingwei for more than 20 days, and he refused to send troops to rebel." Now that the Northern traitor is trying to harm the king of heaven and ascending to heaven, you are acting here. It's disgusting! ”
As soon as this remark came out. The generals of the West Hall all pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords and glared angrily, Zhong Fangli seemed to be out of the way, raised his head and said loudly: "Today I dare to scold you for putting life and death aside, the Heavenly Colleagues present, you can see clearly that the West Thief harbors evil intentions." As a wall-watcher, watching the Heavenly King ascend to heaven, he is thinking about doing the thing of plotting to usurp the throne, and I, Zhong Fangli, will put my words here in front of the Golden Dragon Hall of the Heavenly King's Mansion today. The Western Thief will definitely plot to usurp the throne! ”
"Hahaha......" Xiao Yungui had long known that there would still be a brain-dead Heavenly King diehard who jumped out, but he didn't expect Zhong Fangli to expose it in public, and it could be regarded as willing to dare to pull the emperor off the horse, Xiao Yungui laughed three times with tears, his face became solemn, he stared at Zhong Fangli with round eyes, and took a step to say, "What a loyal minister of the Heavenly Kingdom, Zhong Fangli!" This king asks you, what crime was the king of the east condemned? To be called an East Sin? What is the reason why this king is a soldier and a diligent king? To be called a thief? ”
Zhong Fangli couldn't help but take a step back when he saw Xiao Yungui's fierce approach, Xiao Yungui's eyes were really terrifying, and he immediately mustered up his courage and said loudly: "Long live the East Evil Force, it is a great rebellion, of course it should be damned, and you set up a soldier in the name of King Qin, but the soldiers are so filial piety that you refuse to send troops, naturally you are also a chaotic minister and thief who harbors evil intentions!" Someone picked up a scolding heart, and the officials of Tianjing also began to whisper, and they all seemed to think that Zhong Fangli was right.
As the so-called lord humiliated the ministers to death, all the generals in the West Hall drew their swords and glared angrily, Li Xiucheng on the side couldn't hold back any longer, drew his sword and pointed at Zhong Fangli and shouted: "You shameless mediocre ministers are so embarrassed to make a big fuss here, let me ask you, why didn't you come out and scold them when the northern traitors and soldiers killed innocent soldiers and civilians in Tianjing?" When the Northern traitors slaughtered the elders and children of the Wing Palace, why didn't you come out to preside over the justice? Since the king of the west led the army outside the city, why didn't anyone in the city risk their lives to go out of the city to contact?! Well?! ”
Li Xiucheng's several questions made the Tianjing generals speechless for a moment, yes, what were they doing when the Tianjing incident happened? Isn't it all silent? When the army of King Qinwang of the West arrived outside the city, even if the north hall was strictly guarded, it was still necessary to send the dead soldiers out of the city to contact.
Zuo Zongtang twisted his beard and smiled secretly to watch these people's performances, and did not interject, Hong Xuanjiao also looked calm and relaxed, but Han Baoying was in tears, she remembered that when the Yiwang Mansion was slaughtered, the Tianwang Mansion did not send a soldier to rescue him, if he hadn't led the women's battalion to the rescue, and later there was the inner response of the King of the West, I was afraid that the Yiwang would also die. And these self-proclaimed loyal ministers and generals of the Heavenly Kingdom in the city are all closed to protect themselves, and now they still have the face to jump out and say that the king of the west is not, Han Baoying felt for the first time that it was indeed a big mistake to scold the king of the west as a thief.
Xiao Yungui didn't look back, and with a wave of his big hand, he signaled the generals of the West Hall to retreat, and the generals below Li Xiucheng returned their swords into the sheath one after another. After Xiao Yungui glanced around the people of Tianjing coldly, he shouted loudly: "Is the king of the east a traitor? The King of Heaven decreed the Kingdom of Heaven and voluntarily crowned the King of the East as long live, and the King of the East had every opportunity to do his best for the great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven. However, the northern traitor Wei Changhui kept saying that he was ordered by the king of heaven to get rid of the king of the east, why didn't this king see this edict? Who will answer this king? ”
Everyone in Tianjing was silent, Hong Xiuquan was indeed the edict of Chrysostom when he crowned Yang Xiuqing as long live, but the edict to kill Yang Xiuqing was a secret edict, and it was not explicitly issued, and even Hong Xiuquan was afraid of Xiao Yungui, and even the king of the West did not have this secret edict. At this moment, it seems that killing the East King is indeed a bit incorrect and unreasonable. And even if the king of the north came up with that secret edict in the end, no one would believe that the edict of a murderer was true. There is also a secret edict from the Winged King. But estimating that the secret edict had already been destroyed by Shi Dakai, he naturally would not admit that Wei Changhui, who had a common enmity with him, was his accomplice.
Xiao Yungui was not in a hurry to distinguish his ambitions at the moment, but first turned over Dongwang's case, just to have a reasonable explanation for a series of his own actions later.
At the moment, Xiao Yungui recalled Yang Xiuqing's exploits with emotion, from before the Jintian Uprising to Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing did a lot of things for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and his talents did make the Kingdom of Heaven strong, and all of them were irrefutable and indelible.
Zhong Fangli looked ashamed, couldn't refute a word, and then Xiao Yungui said about forcing the seal to live again. Since the king of the east is asking for long live the seal by the words of the heavenly father, and the king of heaven has clearly allowed it, how can he force the seal to say it? Could it be that God the Father is persecuting the King? Even so, it is God the Father who should be asked, what is the matter with the king of the east?
Xiao Yungui's sophistic talent has been cleared of Hong Yuner's true biography, and the sophistry has been said. Zhong Fangli was speechless.
followed Xiao Yungui's words and talked about himself. "We're talking about me, a thief. The western thief in your mind, this king also followed the king of the east into the Divine Sect, that is ......" Xiao Yungui also said without concealment or humility about his exploits in fighting for the Kingdom of Heaven and expanding the territory, and then said with sharp eyes: "My Qinwang army is in Xiaolingwei, but you know that because of the turmoil in heaven, the Qing demon took the opportunity to conquer Xiangyin and Yueyang. Invade Wuchang? Do you know that the army of the king of the wings and the king of Qin borrowed grain like this king because of the lack of food? Do you know that Yang Fuqing's troops mutinied because of their unfair treatment of their subordinates? This king has been solving these things for more than 20 days! Do you want this king to give up Wuchang? Do you want to starve the Wing Temple soldiers to death? Do you want Yang Fuqing's soldiers to kill each other? The king asks you, "What would you do if you were this king?" Well?! ”
There was another dead silence, and the Tianjing Incident had greatly damaged the vitality of the Heavenly Kingdom. If Wuchang is lost and the soldiers kill each other again, the kingdom of heaven will really be gone, and the individual will have his own discernment in his heart.
When Xiao Yungui said this, he looked at Zhong Fangli unceremoniously and shouted: "You said that this king wants to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne, then this king asks you, the country cannot be without a king for a day, who will lead the kingdom of heaven to continue to seek hegemony now?" Or do you think that you don't need someone to call the shots and sit back and wait for the Qing Demon to exterminate you? ”
Zhong Fangli's face was red and white, and at this time, Lu Xianba walked quickly, whispered a few words in the ear of King Xi, and then handed over a document. Xiao Yungui immediately unfolded the document and shouted: "After the Tianjing incident, because the supply was cut off, Tianjing City lacked salt, grain, cloth and oil, this is the list of materials that my West Temple urgently transferred from Sufu Province, this king returned to Tianjing this time, thought a lot, and prepared a lot for the people of Tianjing, this king asks you, which of you can carry this burden, this king will immediately go back to Sufu Province, this burden will be entrusted to him, this king will never break his word!" ”
All the generals of the Heavenly Kingdom gasped, and Zhong Fangli was also stunned, calming down and thinking about it, there is really no one in the Heavenly Kingdom who is more talented than the King of the West to be the leader of the Heavenly Kingdom. The West Hall has always been self-sufficient, never asked for a penny of food from Tianjing, but also supplied a lot of materials to Tianjing every year, if the West King withdrew, no matter who had to ascend the throne, it would not be possible to do it for a long time.
Zhong Fangli still did not give up and said loudly: "Although the Heavenly King has ascended to heaven, the young Heavenly King Hong Tianguifu is still alive, and he can help the young lord to continue to take charge of the great cause of the heavenly kingdom!" ”
When the generals of the West Hall heard this, they shouted, "Do you want us to obey the words of a seven-year-old yellow-mouthed child?" "What merit does Hong Tianguifu have to ascend to the throne?" "Does the King of Heaven have a testament to pass on the throne to Hong Tiangui?" "Where is Hong Tianguifu?"
The people of Tianjing were silent again, the king of heaven did not leave even a word, but it has always been a practice for the father to die and the son to succeed, but now Hong Tianguifu does not know what to do in the chaos last night, what should the king of heaven do? Who can pick it up? Who can take it?
For a while, everyone's eyes looked at King Xi, this legendary man who stood upright on the spot like a god of war, even everyone in Tianjing looked at him, but no one paid attention to Zhong Fangli's jumping clown. Han Baoying's mood was very complicated, in her mind, she originally thought that her father-in-law was the most suitable candidate, but after what she saw and heard by this man's side in the past few days, she faintly felt in her heart that her father-in-law might not be able to compare with him, at least her father-in-law would never think of capturing Tianjing while also considering what the people of Tianjing lacked.
When Zhong Fangli saw that everyone's eyes were focused on the King of the West, he became panicked, and he exclaimed, "Colleagues, do you really want to turn your backs on the Heavenly King? The king of heaven is the true lord of heaven, even if the king ascends to heaven, it should be succeeded by the young king! ”
Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but said lightly: "On the day of the ascension of the king of heaven, this Prime Minister Zhong didn't think about how to do a good job of the king ascending to heaven, blindly bewitched the hundred officials and ordered the king of heaven, and slandered the two princes of heaven one after another, it is really outrageous, do you think this person can continue to shout here?" ”
Zuo Zongtang's words were undoubtedly a blow against him, and everyone looked at Zhong Fangli's eyes with more contempt and disgust, and the generals of the West Hall shouted: "Kill him!" Kill him! ”
But the king of the west stopped and said: "Today, the king of heaven ascends to heaven, no longer kills people, first lock him up." ”
Several guards of the West Hall were about to step forward to arrest someone, Zhong Fangli's face was miserable, he pulled out the sword at his waist and put it across his neck, and said sharply: "You don't need to do it, I will break it myself!" Then he shouted loudly to the sky: "The Heavenly Father is above, and the villain can't support the Heavenly Kingdom Society, and he is ashamed of the Heavenly Father and the Heavenly King, so he will go to heaven with the Heavenly King." With that, the long sword in his hand was pulled fiercely, and blood gushed out.
Zhong Fangli didn't die for a while, and slowly knelt on the ground, staring at Xiao Yungui with dead eyes, but Xiao Yungui smiled faintly and said: "If you kill yourself, you have forgotten the teachings of God the Father, and you have failed to worship God sincerely, how can you get heaven like you?" It's ridiculous......"
Zhong Fangli still heard this, and his eyes suddenly became unwilling and shocked, but then he lost his luster, and his distorted face was full of anger...... (To be continued......)
