    In the Juanyun Pavilion of the Chengnan Academy, Xiao Yungui groaned and complained: "You, you really want to kill me, and you killed me twice in a row, once last night and once just now. You four-eyed girl has such a big conscience.  It¡¯s broken!¡±

    Hong Yun'er gritted her silver teeth and said calmly: "Yes, but I killed you not twice, but three times!"

    "Okay, okay, you are indeed evil-hearted. You must want to take revenge for the nickname I gave you in the past, right?" Xiao Yungui said angrily.

    Hong Yun'er rolled her eyes at him and said: "I just recognized you. After knowing that you were in Xiao Chaogui's body, I stopped immediately. Sister, am I such a stingy person? I told you, kill  You have your reasons, just hear me out.¡±

    Xiao Yungui frowned and said, "You wanted to kill me three times? Once last night, once just now, and when was the other time?"

    Hong Yun'er curled her lips and said: "In Jingtang Village, when you were held hostage, when I rescued you with a musket, I aimed at you at first"

    Xiao Yungui pointed at Hong Yuner with a trembling hand and said angrily: "Okay, you, you are so vicious."

    Hong Yun'er ignored Xiao Yungui and pouted: "I didn't know it was you at that time, so you can't blame me. If it were you, you would kill others to save your own life."

    Xiao Yungui was shocked. He didn't expect that Hong Yun'er, who usually seemed kind-hearted, would actually admit that he would kill others in order to save his own life when it came to life and death.  When making a choice, most people will still choose to save their lives.  As Hong Yun'er said, if it were me, so what?  Can I really fearlessly sacrifice myself to save the lives of others?  Xiao Yungui was speechless because he asked himself that he couldn't do it, so he had no words to blame Hong Yun'er.

    Xiao Yungui said in a daze: "The person who can order you, the Queen of the West, to harm her husband must be the King of Heaven, Hong Xiuquan. Has this old boy already disliked the King of the West who is possessed by Brother Tian?"

    Hong Yun'er slowly shook her head and said, "It's not the King of Heaven's order. It's the King of the East who wants you dead" Then she told Hong Xuanjiao what Yang Xiuqing had ordered that night.

    Xiao Yungui was slightly startled when he first heard about it, and then fell into deep thought. After listening to the chant for a moment, he shook his head and said: "This is wrong. You can't just take everything at face value. In my impression, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother have always been one. Yang Xiuqing  It is somewhat impossible to kill Xiao Chaogui. You must know that Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui have always been close to each other. They are both double reeds. How could Yang Xiuqing break her arm so easily? You should also remember how they worked together to sideline Hong Xiuquan, exclude Feng Yunshan,  Attacking the patriarchs of the Catholic Church, the Zeng family and the Wang family."

    Hong Yun'er also calmed down and meditated. When it came to playing conspiracy and power, she was never as good as Xiao Yungui, a romantic young master, because Xiao Yungui didn't focus on his studies. All he learned and did was his father's business skills.  He once said that what was taught in school was useless and he would rather learn more about his father's way of conducting himself and making money.  So Hong Yun'er really had to listen to Xiao Yungui when it came to these intrigues. At the moment, the two of them pieced together memories of the deeds of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother seizing power.

    Cigu Village in Guixian County was the first place where Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan came to preach in Guangxi, and it was also the place where the God-worshipping religion first started.  In April of the 24th year of Daoguang's reign, Hong Xiuquan came to Cigu Village for the first time and stayed for half a year under the warm hospitality and earnest request of his uncle's cousin Wang Shengjun's family.  Here he taught during the day and preached at night. He carried out activities among the Hakkas in Cigu, Changpai and nearby villages, solved problems for the people, and wrote poems to rebuke the Liuwu God.  In particular, Wang Weizheng, the son of Wang Shengjun, who was rescued by the magistrate of the county, established prestige among the people. Not only did Wang Shengjun's whole family convert to Christianity, but "over a hundred people were converted and baptized" in Guixian County in a short period of time. Wang Weizheng became a loyal believer in the Catholic Church and  Activists.

    Hong Xiuquan studied the doctrine intensively in his hometown for a period of time, and then went to Guangzhou to "learn Taoism" from Luo Xiaoquan. In July of the 27th year of Daoguang's reign, he came to Guangxi for the second time. He first went to Gui County to give grains to Wang's family.  I heard that after several years of arduous missionary work, Feng Yunshan had established a Catholic church in the Zijing Mountain area of ??Guiping and had achieved great results in developing congregations. After staying in Cigu Village for a few days, Wang Weizheng accompanied him to Zijing Mountain to join him.  In September of this year, Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan chose Gaokeng Chonglu to set up a general altar, and led Zeng Yunzheng, Lu Liu, Chen Li and others on an expedition to Xiangzhou to destroy the Ganwang Temple. "The rumors spread far and wide, and the number of people who believed in them increased."  In early November, Hong Xiuquan left Feng Yunshan again and went to Cigu Village in Gui County for the third time under the escort of congregation member Zeng Yujing. Cigu Village was still his main stronghold.

    At that time, although Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui joined the association through Feng Yunshan, their names were still unknown until this time.  It can be seen that Feng Yunshan, Shigu Wang, Zeng and others had a long history and close relationship with Hong Xiuquan. They were older than Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Lang in the God Society, and their status at that time was higher than Yang and Xiao Wei.

    In this situation, Feng Yunshan and Daoguang ErAfter being arrested and imprisoned in December 17th, a lot of changes took place.  Hong Xiuquan returned to Guangdong in February of the following year to find another way to rescue the people. The Guangxi God Society was leaderless and faced a crisis.  Some people in the association used local folk methods of childbirth to spread rumors of possession by gods.  On March 3 of this year, Yang Xiuqing for the first time pretended that "Heavenly Father came down to earth" to calm the mood of the congregation, and launched a "Ketan" campaign with Wang Yukun and others to raise funds, bribe the government, and organize a rescue.  Feng Yunshan cooperated with the struggle outside prison to plead his case and was released.  In May of that year, Feng escaped and returned to Bauhinia Mountain on the way to be escorted. Later, he left Bauhinia Mountain and went to Guangdong to look for Hong Xiuquan.

    Hong Xiuquan¡¯s plan in Guangzhou to take advantage of the Qing government¡¯s decree allowing missionaries to use the power of the church to rescue Feng Yunshan failed. He came to Guangxi for the third time and did not meet Feng Yunshan on his way back to Guangdong after being released from prison.  On September 9th of this year, Xiao Qigui began to spread rumors about "Brother Tian descending to earth".  Hong Xiuquan recognized Xiao Chaogui's right to speak for "Brother Christ" on October 24 of this year.  Prior to this, Yang Xiuqing's right to speak for "Heavenly Father God" was recognized.  In this way, Yang and Xiao made up talismans in the names of "Heavenly Father" and "Tianxiong Brother" to support Hong Xiuquan as "Allah", and were recognized by Hong Xiuquan as "strategist", surpassing anyone other than Hong and Feng in the God Association.  With his prominent position, he used his magical powers to gradually eradicate dissident forces, squeeze out Feng Yunshan, sideline Hong Xiuquan, and seize leadership.

    Feng Yunshan was arrested and released from prison and returned to Guangdong after being released from prison. He would be separated from the actual struggle for a year and a half. In May of the same year, he came to Bauhinia Mountain with Hong Xiuquan again. The situation within the Society of God had changed drastically. He, like Hong Xiuquan, acknowledged the fait accompli.  In fact, not only did the rank of military advisor gradually drop to that of Yang and Xiao, but also he and Hong Xiuquan had been "hiding" and "avoiding bad luck" under the orders of "Brother Tian", and they were actually sidelined.  At that time, there were not just a few "Yaosu" and "Yaojiang" who were fighting against "Gao Lao Gao Xiong" within the Catholic Church, but only those with senior qualifications and certain strength who wanted to compete with Yang and Xiao and compete to "support the master".  The "Zhutang" who had a long history and close relationship with Hong Xiuquan were some Catholic elders such as the Wang family and the Zeng family in Cigu, Guixian County.

    After Xiao Chaogui first asked "Brother Tian to come down to earth" in September of Wushen, he was as good at wielding power as Yang Xiuqing.  Together with Yang Xiuqing, he used the means of making talismans and supporting "Allah" to gain Hong Xiuquan's trust, and then issued orders in the name of "Father" and "Brother Tian" or "coerced the emperor to order the princes", forcing Hong Xiuquan to follow their will  act.  They repeatedly asked Hong Xiuquan to leave Guixian, break away from the influence of the "Zhutang", that is, the Wang family in Shigu, and put them under their control. They also asked Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan, who came to Guangxi for the second time, to live in seclusion and take shelter. In fact, they stood aside.  Because Yang and Xiao relied on the rumored advantages of "Heavenly Father" and "Tianxiong" to not only subdue those "demon Su" and "demon surrender" who did not believe in them, but also cultivated party members Wei Zheng to win over the Shigu Wang family to fight together.  Shi Dakai and the evasive leader Hong Xiuquan isolated the Cigu Wang family and easily defeated them in several rounds.  Since July of the Gengxu year, "Brother Tian" forced Hong Xiuquan not to return to "Zhutang", Wang Yuxiu, Wang Shengtong and others disappeared.  Later, when "Brother Tian" blessed the old brothers with the religious ceremony of "super-ascension", they were not included in the list.

    Lu Liu, Chen Li, Zeng Yashun, Zeng Yunzheng, Zeng Yujing, Zeng Guanlan and other elders of the Catholic Church were also in bad shape after Yang and Xiao took over the leadership of the Catholic Church. Except for Lu Liu who was imprisoned and killed, the rest  People, especially a group of activists in Zeng Yuzhen's family, such as Zeng Yunzheng, who "passed on this feeling from generation to generation and was very powerful", all disappeared.  Zeng Yujing was jointly attacked and persecuted by Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui. Although he participated in the Jintian Uprising and went to Yong'an, he was arrested and killed by the government because he returned to Guiping to retrieve his family.  Zeng Yuzhen and her family did not participate in the Jintian Uprising at all. Most of the Zeng family quickly retreated and even withdrew from the God Worshiping Association. Although some people participated in the Jintian Uprising and went on expeditions with the army, they were not reused and enfeoffed, indicating that these were indeed Yang and Xiao.  They have been working together to squeeze out and weaken the forces that Hong and Feng originally relied on to be loyal to them.

    The two of them talked and talked about what they knew. Hong Yun'er stood up and quietly moved her lotus steps. She hugged her chest and said slowly: "It is true that no one can control the two kings of the East and West joining forces. It turns out that Hong Xiuquan  The dance show that he wrote, directed and performed was snatched away by Yang and Xiao Qiao, and it surpassed Hong Xiuquan's performance even more vividly. Hong Xiuquan did not dare to deny the authenticity of his performance, so he had to crane his neck to swallow the bitter pill. But.  Have you ever thought that Feng Yunshan was shot and killed in Quanzhou, which caused an imbalance of power among the six kings of Shouyi?"

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "I have also thought about this matter. Hong and Feng together with the two kings of Bei and Yi may be able to check and balance the two kings of East and West. Moreover, Feng Yunshan is a man of integrity, humility and concession. In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom,  His role is very similar to that of the first prime minister of our dynasty. Unfortunately, he died early and the bond between them collapsed. Hong Xiuquan was unwilling to be controlled by others and naturally had to rearrange the arrangements, so he wanted to kill the Western King Xiao Chaogui and weaken the power of the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing.  Wang Yang Xiuqing wants to keep Xiao Chaogui."

    Hong Yun'er shook her head, frowning slightly and said: "What do you mean?That's not right. Since Hong Xiuquan lost his arm after Feng Yunshan's death, he must have wanted to win over the Western King Xiao Chaogui to confront the Eastern King. Why kill the Western King?  He was afraid that it would be too late to win over Xiao Chaogui.  "

    Xiao Yungui scratched his head with a grimace and said: "Damn it, anything is possible, but no matter what, one of them will always want me to die." Then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Four  Eye sister, you are right, Hong Xiuquan wanted to win over me in his heart, but because of the Dongwang, he was afraid of conflict with the Dongwang, and the Dongwang was worried that Xiao Chaogui would lean towards the Heavenly King, so both of them wanted me dead. It seemed that I was  There is no doubt that I will die, but why don¡¯t I become the guest?¡±

    Hong Yun'er asked curiously: "How come you are so anti-customer?"

    Xiao Yungui stood up with a smile and looked at the Changsha City in the distance: "At this time, the Chenzhou Brigade has not arrived. I have Changsha City and a group of soldiers and horses. I will neither seek refuge with them nor alienate them. I want to achieve the goal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."  The third force, if the Heavenly King and the Eastern King have any scruples, they will win over me in turn, and they won¡¯t want me to die!"
