XII. The Tianjing Incident (4)
Although Chen Chengying is cunning, he can't get used to Yang Xiuqing's domineering. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If you want to find out when Chen Chengying completely stood on the opposite side of Yang Xiuqing, you have to start with the "Wrangler Incident" of Yan King Qin Rigang.
In May of the fourth year of Xianfeng, there was a horseman in Yanwangfu, sitting in front of the mansion to rest, and happened to meet Yang Xiuqing's uncle Tonggeng (the uncle of the brother born in the same year, not his own uncle) passing by, the horseman didn't know whether he reacted slowly or didn't see it, and he didn't stand up and salute according to the rules of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This annoyed this Uncle Tonggeng, snatched the horseman's horsewhip, and whipped the horseman with two hundred horsewhips, and then tied up the flowers and sent them to Qin Rigang for him to look at.
Before Qin Rigang could understand the situation, the groom was sent to Huang Yukun, the father-in-law of the king of the wing, who was in charge of the criminal case, by the angry Dongwang Tong Geng, and asked Huang Yukun to beat the groom with a military stick again.
After Huang Yukun asked the incident clearly, he thought that the groom had violated the system and was at fault first, but Uncle Tong Geng had already been whipped with two hundred lashes, which was almost the punishment, so he suggested that the case should be closed like this.
Dongwang and Uncle Geng were furious when they heard this, kicked over Huang Yukun's desk, and ran to Dongwang's mansion angrily, complained to Yang Xiuqing, and asked Dongwang to uphold justice.
When Yang Xiuqing heard this, he was furious, this is worth it, and he doesn't look at the owner when he beats the dog!
Yang Xiuqing called Shi Dakai and ordered him to detain his father-in-law Huang Yukun first. Shi Dakai felt that Yang Xiuqing was a bit of a fuss and a bully, a groom, why should he be as knowledgeable as him? Even if you violate the etiquette system, two hundred lashes are enough, right? Shi Dakai thought that his father-in-law had done nothing wrong, and secondly, he couldn't bear to put his father-in-law in prison in person, so he didn't immediately carry out Dongwang's order.
Huang Yukun was not used to the arrogance and unreasonableness of the East King, nor did he want his son-in-law to be embarrassed, seeing that the East King was so arrogant, he was very discouraged, and he was worried that he would not be able to carry out his work in the future, so he resigned in protest.
Qin Rigang is a straight person, and when he saw that Huang Yukun had suffered a loss because of himself. Feeling the need to support in return, he also offered to resign.
Immediately followed by the resignation of Huang Yukun and Qin Rigang, as well as Chen Chengying, who helped the Dongwang Mansion deal with the government affairs, he felt that Yang Xiuqing was simply indiscriminate, reversing black and white and unreasonable. As a hardcore brother of Qin Rigang, he also felt that it was necessary to see the truth in danger and extend a helping hand to his brother.
originally hoped that the collective resignation would wake up Yang Xiuqing, but he didn't expect that in exchange for his intensified crazy counterattack.
Yang Xiuqing was completely enraged, he didn't expect so many people to be disobedient. There will be so many people who will do with him, and so many people will dare to offend his dignity!
Yang Xiuqing issued an order to lock up Qin Rigang and Chen Chengying and hand them over to Wei Changhui to deal with. Wei Changhui knew that Yang Xiuqing was testing and rectifying himself again, and decided to resolutely stand on Yang Xiuqing's side and severely punish all members of the Wrangler incident in order to gain Yang Xiuqing's favor. As a result of the punishment, Qin Rigang was beaten with 100 sticks and Chen Chengying with 200 sticks. Huang Yukun was even worse, not to mention the three hundred sticks. He was also dismissed as the Marquis of Weitian and demoted to an ordinary soldier. Yang Xiuqing's humiliation made Huang Yukun ashamed and angry, and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water, but fortunately he was rescued.
The worst thing is that the groom, because of a momentary negligence and disrespect, was brutally dismembered.
According to the 62 laws of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, only treason and defection to the enemy can be punished with this capital punishment.
In the decree issued by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in 1854, there was indeed a rule that the guard of honor should avoid bowing when traveling. There are three of them.
The first is "All the kings of the east, the north, the winged kings and the kings of the east drive out, the princes and prime ministers go out of the sedan chairs, and all the officials and soldiers in the internal army of the court do not evade and rush the guard of honor." beheading without leaving behind";
The second is that "if the king of the east drives out, if the officers and soldiers cannot avoid it, they should kneel by the side of the road, and if they dare to walk on the opposite side, they will be beheaded";
The third is that "all the officers and soldiers who inspect and direct the officials and men shall also follow the rules of the kings on the road." If you do not avoid it, or do not kneel beside it, you will be beheaded and will not be left behind."
In order to protect himself and win Yang Xiuqing's trust, Wei Changhui did not hesitate to become an accomplice in the abuse of the criminal law. Judging from the harsh ceremonial criminal law of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this Uncle Tong Geng is obviously not enough for the groom to be sentenced to death, even if the groom is deliberately rude, there is no need to behead him.
This poor groom, without leaving his name, was abused by Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, to end his life, which seemed to him extremely humble but no less precious.
Yang Xiuqing used his power and vexatiousness to sabotage the decree he promulgated, and finally won a complete victory in the "Wrangler Incident", and all the anti-Easterners were severely punished, he smiled with satisfaction, felt that he was a winner, and fought a complete war of annihilation!
Yang Xiuqing was proud, and it was a group of people who were ecstatic - Qin Rigang, Huang Yukun, Shi Dakai, and Chen Chengying.
Yang Xiuqing may not have expected that his war of annihilation would not destroy others, but himself. In addition to the innocent and tragic death of the horseman, the group of people who were unreasonably punished by him will use their actions to tell him a truth - self-inflicted, not to live!
Among this group of people, there is one person who will play a crucial role in the battle to annihilate Yang Xiuqing!
He is Chen Chengying.
It was Chen Chengying who completely put Yang Xiuqing on the road of no return. Chen Chengying's acting skills are even more superb than Wei Changhui, and he doesn't need to wear a mask at all to paralyze Yang Xiuqing, a talented student in the acting department. Chen Chengying remained silent, still dutifully serving Yang Xiuqing, assisting him in taking care of the military and political affairs of the Kingdom of Heaven, while secretly waiting for the moment when he pulled out the butcher's knife.
Chen Chengying walked out of the Xuanwu Gate, saluted to the North King and the Yan King, and said indifferently: "The North King Yan Wang, the city gate has been opened, the East King has also fallen asleep, the army will enter the city!" ”
"The Wing King hasn't entered Beijing yet?" It was Wei Changhui who asked the question.
"The Wing King is going west in a boat, I'm afraid it's not as fast as us." Qin Rigang answered.
"Then this wealth is shared by our brothers!" Wei Changhui waved his horsewhip and led the army into the city, "Let's go, let's go to the East Palace!" ”
Chen Chengying guided Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang, as well as his 3,000 elite soldiers, quietly entered the city, quickly took control of important streets and lookouts, and sent heavy troops to guard them.
After controlling the periphery, Wei Changhui led the most elite cards? hand, from the main gate to attack the East Palace.
After a great victory, people's vigilance naturally drops to the lowest point. After defeating the Jiangbei camp, especially after breaking the Jiangnan camp, the outside of Tianjing City was basically safe, and after sending Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai and Qin Rigang and a group of people to the front line, Yang Xiuqing was even more at ease, and the security force and guard strength of the Dongwang Mansion were relaxed, but Wei Changhui took advantage of the loophole and quickly entered the Dongwang Mansion.
In the face of a powerful and perfect collective murder, Yang Xiuqing, the fourth son of the Heavenly Father and the king of the East, seemed so powerless. Before Yang Xiuqing could perform Heavenly Father's descent to earth, his head had already rolled down at Wei Changhui's feet.
At the beginning of the twenty-ninth day of the first month of the fifth year of Xianfeng, Yang Xiuqing was bloody Tianjing! (To be continued.) )
