Chapter 699: Ancient Cave

"Don't be afraid, just face it head-on. Bai Yi was much calmer.

When he spoke, more than a dozen people had come up, surrounding Bai Yi and them, seeing this situation, the seven evils did not relax the two girls in their hands, as if they were hostages, Liangchen said: "This is what you forced us, what do you say that we live underground and there are ghosts, now it's okay, it's you who have ghosts." “

The more than a dozen people were covered with turbans on their heads, and their hands were holding spears, facing everyone, Bai Yi looked at their dress, and determined that they were from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: "You are the descendants of the Heavenly Kingdom?" Call the man who sells the paintings, I have something to ask him! “

Bai Yi said the identities of those people, which made them a little flustered, and at this moment, a voice came: "Heavenly King, I will let outsiders in, this is all my fault, I am willing to be punished." “

King? Bai Yi took a deep breath, the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan died early, I am afraid that the only ones who can be called the king of heaven are his sons, among these sons, the eldest son Hong Tianzeng, this son should have been born from 1852 to 1853, on the way of the Taiping army from Yong'an, Guangxi to Nanjing. After arriving in Nanjing, Hong Xiuquan ordered that the prince's name should be avoided, so all those surnamed Zeng in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had to change their surname to Yong, such as Zeng Tianyang, an old general in his seventies, who changed his name to Yongtianyang; Zeng Shuiyuan and Zeng Jinfa, the important ministers of the Fathers, also became Yongshuiyuan and Yongjinfa, although there is no specific document to support it, but according to this, it can be inferred that the Taiping army was a strong enemy at that time...... Zeng Guofan, the commander of the Hunan army, is afraid that he can only be called Yongguo Domain. However, Hong Tianzeng died soon after, and all the people surnamed Zeng breathed a sigh of relief: they could show their true colors again.

The next two sons, Hong Tianguang and Hong Tianming, were both born in the fourth year of Jiayin, that is, in 1854, of which Hong Tianming was born on September 24, and Hong Tianguang is unknown, both of them are concubines, of which Hong Tianguang's mother is the twelfth wife Chen, and Hong Tianming's mother is the nineteenth wife Wu.

The two of them are the same as their brothers, they have never been out of the palace gate, among which Hong Tianguang lives in the Golden Dragon Palace, Hong Tianming is under the palace of the young master of the left hall, the two people were named King Guang and King Ming around 1858, in 1861, Hong Ren Wang Gan formulated the new "Taiping Rite System", which stipulates that the two are not called Chitose, but Yongsui, and the words light and Ming should also be avoided, so the famous general Deng Guangming of the Taiping Army had to be renamed Deng Xuanming, and Li Xiucheng's younger brother Li Mingcheng had to be called Li Yuming, just because the two children were called "Tianguang, Tianming", The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had to live three years without light. ()

On the day that Tianjing City was breached, Hong Tianguang and Hong Tianming had been following his brother Hong Tianguifu, but when Li Xiucheng broke through, he said that he could only take the young master alone, and the two were thrown in place, some people said that they fled to Nanyang with their mother Lai, but there is no evidence, the most likely outcome is probably to die in the chaos, after all, they have no life experience like Hong Tianguifu, and they are younger, only 10 years old.

Hong Xiuquan's youngest son was originally called Hong Tianyou, but after the Tianjing Incident and Hong Xiuquan killed Yang Xiuqing, he had a whim, and while "rehabilitating" Yang Xiuqing, he passed Hong Tianyou to Yang Xiuqing, called "son and nephew" Half a son and half a nephew, and was named the young king of the east, so that this "son and nephew" who was not even 10 years old became the first official of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The First Imperial Ruler did not leave any deeds to record, and after the fall of Tianjing, his information was interrupted.

In addition, it is the young king, five days after the death of the king Hong Xiuquan, the young king Hong Tianguifu acted as the government of the court, Hong Tianguifu had no warmth in family life in his short life, and finally fell into the hands of the Qing army, this person can be ruled out. ()

In the end, who will be this person who makes everyone call the king of heaven? Bai Yi wanted to surprise the other party, so he quickly calculated it in his heart, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Could it be Hong Tianyou?" “

As soon as Hong Tianyou came out, everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to react, Bai Yi knew that he was right, but he immediately thought of another question, if it was Hong Tianyou, how old should he be this year? It's not right at this age, Bai Yi said: "The descendants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom actually live here, it's really amazing. “

These words were said with great compassion, and seemed to poke at their sore spots, the hands that were originally holding the spears were lowered, and the boss walked up to Bai Yi: "Please, leave here, just don't find here, you want money, I can give you as much as you want." “

In fact, Bai Yi and the others didn't know why the third uncle asked them to check that painting, since they found it here along the painting, then the mystery in it must be here, how could they give up easily? Bai Yi smiled bitterly: "In order to prepare those materials, you did not hesitate to sell Hong Xuanjiao's paintings, it can be seen that your economy is not rich, how can you give me as much as you want?" “

The boss was stunned for a moment, and suddenly squatted down with his head in his hands, with a painful look, Tang Sancheng said: "We have no malice here, maybe we can help you, can you let us meet your Heavenly King?" “

"You guys seem to know a lot about the kingdom of heaven." A voice came out: "You came here, there was only one way, and that was to let you die, but my generation has not hurt people's lives for a long time, and you have no malice, if you are let out, our generation will not be at peace, but what can we do?" “

"You don't need to worry." Bai Yi said: "The origin of my generation, I'm afraid it is more strange than you, which is why we are not surprised to see you, we are just ordered to check the origin of that painting, as long as we know the answer, we will naturally leave, and we will never disturb each other in the future." “

"Painting?" The shopkeeper was stunned: "That painting was originally here with us, if you want to talk about the origin, there is nothing special." “

The voice rang out again: "Come with me for the time being." “

Those people dispersed, Bai Yi and they finally saw the owner of the voice, and couldn't help but be surprised, this person was as thin as dry wood, but his eyes were very bright, the same size as Bai Yi, and a head of black hair, this was their "Heavenly King"? Bai Yi and the five exchanged glances, and resolutely decided to leave with the Heavenly King, following behind the Heavenly King, Tang Sancheng suddenly found that something was wrong with the Heavenly King, he stabbed the Seven Evils, and motioned to the Seven Evils to look at the waist of the Heavenly King, the Heavenly King's waist seemed to have a swimming ring, if he was a fat man, there was a lot of meat on his waist, and it didn't matter if there would be such a situation, but this Heavenly King was skinny, and the protruding piece on his waist was a little abrupt.

The passage was finally connected to a long row of houses, built low, but very neat, the king led them to the innermost, the door of that room was slightly different in color, obviously for the purpose of distinguishing the ranks, the king's room was very simple, a stone bed, a set of stone tables and chairs, and nothing else, thinking of his identity as the king, it could not help but seem a little miserable.

The shopkeeper had been following the king, obviously his status was high here, and when he closed the door, the space in the house seemed cramped, and the king looked a little sad, and he didn't know what to do with them.

"Where's the painting?" The shopkeeper said suddenly.

"I didn't bring the painting here, but I remember the details on it, the character on the painting is Hong Xuanjiao." Bai Yi said: "Bending down to look for something on the battlefield, the person who painted this painting should be immersed in the scene and have seen it with his own eyes, and also, this painting is also inlaid with jewelry, if it is not important, why inlay jewelry?" As far as we know, Hong Xuanjiao did not die, and then went into exile abroad, where she became a medical worker and died after a long life. “

"What?" The Heavenly King was stunned for a moment, and could not hide the excitement on his face: "She didn't die at that time?" Then the jade seal ......"

Hearing the word jade seal, Bai Yi's mind flashed: "It turns out that she is looking for the jade seal of heaven!" “
