    Hong Xiuquan had been influenced by Confucianism since he was a child, and had formed a certain set of thinking and ideas that he could not surpass on his own.  On the one hand, he denied and criticized Confucius, but on the other hand, he had to rely on Confucianism to become a prominent school in China. The fundamental reason was that the ethical principles emphasized by Confucianism and the hierarchical thinking of monarch, minister, father and son were strengthened by the ruling classes of the past dynasties, and Confucius was therefore shaped into a majestic figure.  idol.

    What the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom opposed was Confucius, who was made into an idol by the ruling class.  In fact, the Confucius in the hearts of farmers is different from the Confucius who was idolized by the ruling class. What Confucius and his teachings give to farmers are only general psychological characteristics with Confucian tendencies such as morality, benevolence, and conscience. Therefore, farmers are always unable to  Fundamentally free from the shackles of Confucianism, Hong Xiuquan did the same.  Therefore, they can oppose the idolized Confucius, smash up Confucius temples, and destroy Confucian books, but they cannot lose Confucius in their hearts.  Therefore, when the Kingdom of Heaven wanted to establish political power according to the old system, Confucianism could easily resurrect itself.

    When Hong Xiuquan was still stunned after listening to Hong Yun'er's words, Hong Yun'er continued: "Brother, when our kingdom of heaven was founded, although we had the idea of ??a unified world, now that the world is in chaos, we still have to have laws and rules.  Caixing, just like the Confucian theory of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Virtues, has established the etiquette between the monarch and his ministers. If we blindly devalue it, the soldiers and civilians will always think that we are all brothers and sisters, and there will be no rules and regulations. If this is the case in the past, we will only fear that in the future  The ruler becomes disobedient and the minister disobeys, which messes up the laws and regulations. Therefore, the younger sister feels that the imperial edict passed down by the heavenly father is still reasonable. The respect for the elders and the younger must be orderly, otherwise the elder brother will not issue the "Youth Law".  "Study of Poetry" will explain the Ming Dynasty court, monarchy, ministers, and family. And the theory of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Virtues is a Confucian classic, so there is no need to abolish it." Hong Yun'er understood Hong Xiuquan's thoughts correctly. Although Master Hong  He put on the cloak of worshiping God, but in his heart he was a very traditional Confucian scholar, who valued the dignity of kings and ministers very seriously.  Otherwise, he would not proclaim himself the King of Heaven.

    After listening to Hong Yun'er's words, Hong Xiuquan pondered for a moment and said: "Heavenly Father has decreed: Heaven's destiny is called nature, and willfulness is called Tao, and being able to serve the father to the best of his ability, and serving the king to the best of his ability, these are not monsters.  It is inconvenient to completely discard all the words. But these words make a lot of sense. I have been in China for thousands of years, and not all ancient books are demon books. My sister, what you said makes sense. I will think about it carefully later and issue it.  The imperial edict informs the army and the people, and the ancient books do not need to be discarded." At this point, Hong Xiuquan looked at Xiao Yungui and asked, "What do the people in the court think?"

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "What my brother said is true. I don't have much in mind, so I just have to listen to my brother's arrangements."

    Talk about it.  Seeing that the sun was approaching noon, Hong Xiuquan ordered a banquet to be arranged. He also ordered people to invite King Bei, King Yi and King Yan to accompany them, and then held a banquet for King Xi and his wife in the palace of King Tian.

    The king of heaven gave a banquet, and all the princes behaved themselves.  There wasn't much talking during the dinner, it was all polite conversation.  Most of the talk during the dinner was about the war in Suzhou and Hangzhou.  When Xiao Yungui talked about spending money and food to save the people of Suzhou from the plague.  Everyone had different reactions.  The King of Heaven only said that the King of the West was benevolent, but the King of the North said that it was the good fortune of the people of Suzhou. The King of Yi praised it, but the King of Yan said that it was a pity for money and food.

    Xiao Yungui was a little disappointed. It seemed that except for King Yi, the others didn't seem to take those people into their hearts.  Perhaps in their view, the people of Suzhou are still monsters and do not deserve such care and rescue.

    After the banquet ended, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er took their leave.  The couple had been in Tianjing for half a day, but they had not yet returned to the West Prince's Mansion to see their children. Therefore, the King of Heaven could not stay any longer, so he ordered people to send him out of the mansion.

    After seeing off King Xi and his wife, Hong Xiuquan met King Bei, King Yi, and King Yan in the secret room.

    The lights in the secret room were dim, and the faces of several people were uncertain. Hong Xiuquan was sipping tea, but he didn't know what he was thinking. Wei Changhui was the first to be unable to hold on, and stood up and said: "Brother, the East King is domineering and it is difficult to control it."  , now that the King of the West has returned to the capital, it seems that the situation is the same as before. The two kings of the East and West are united into one, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to check and balance. Today, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother descended to earth one after another, one played a good role, the other played a bad role, and dealt with all the officials.  I am obedient and no one dares to resist, so what should I do if things continue like this?"

    Shi Dakai sat down and took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and said, "Fifth brother, don't think of the worst. Seeing that Brother Tian came down to earth today, although his voice and look were harsh, it was for protection. Brother Tian's words to severely punish everyone were to force the troops to take risks.  You are trying to force Heavenly Father to forgive you, can¡¯t you see that?¡±

    Qin Rigang snorted coldly and said, "His Royal Highness, King Yi, didn't His Highness Bei Wang say that? One of them is a red face, and the other is a bad face. Maybe they have already agreed to do this."

    Shi Dakai frowned slightly and said: "The King of the West is not that kind of person. Besides, he has been fighting. How can he secretly communicate with the King of the East? It's not like we don't have spies on the King of the West. If there is something secret between the King of the East and the King of the West,  , how could that person not know?"

    Wei Changhui shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that it's hard to tell if that person has changed his mind. They are still a couple. Will they help outsiders deal with their husband-in-law?"

      Shi Dakai said slightly angrily: "Fifth brother, what you said is wrong. The King of the West has no intention of abandoning himself. We can only fight for it, and we cannot force the King of the West to the east. If the East and the West join forces, one person will be in charge, and the other will be in charge.  Our Lord, we have a powerful army in the hands of two people, how can we control it?"

    Wei Changhui was about to retort, but Hong Xiuquan sighed softly and waved his hands: "It would be great if Yunshan was still there."

    Wei Changhui and others looked at each other and slowly sat down. They all thought that in the past, when Feng Yunshan was still there, a few people could check and balance. Now that Feng Yunshan is gone, it is really difficult for the Celestial Dynasty to check and balance the two kings of the East and West.  Wei Changhui was forced to kill his brother, Shi Dakai's father-in-law was demoted, King Yan was implicated in the groom's case, and the King of Heaven was often taught a lesson by his Heavenly Father. It was indeed difficult for a few people to resist.

    Hong Xiuquan then said: "The only way for now is to separate the two of them. Only when one of them is alone can we carry out our strategy."

    Shi Dakai nodded and said: "That's right, the King of the West cannot stay in Tianjing. With him in Tianjing, the King of the East is more confident. Besides, the King of the West has not said that he intends to send troops to Huaishang, so the younger brother sees this as an opportunity.  "

    Wei Changhui also nodded this time and said: "What Compatriot Da said is true. Sending troops to the Huaihe River can block the north of Tianjing. To defend the river, we must defend the Huaihe River. Secondly, it can also solve the problem of the shortage of silver resources in our holy treasury. The third is to guard the river.  The King of the West led him out of Tianjing so that he could not stay in the capital to serve as the King of the East. As long as the King of the West is not in the capital and the King of the East is alone, we can slowly use our strategies to control him. If both of them are in the capital, we will have no way of taking action."

    Qin Rigang also said: "Yes, if His Royal Highnesses the King of the North and the King of Yi leave the capital and recruit troops in the Anhui and Hubei areas, they can have their own elite troops to strengthen the external forces. On the one hand, they can check and balance the troops of the West King, and on the other hand, they can also prevent the East Palace from attacking."  Dare to move lightly. My younger brother will stay in the capital to protect you and continue to secretly recruit people who are loyal to the king. In the future, when the time is right, you can counterattack in one fell swoop."

    Hong Xiuquan hummed softly and said, "That's very good, but we can send Hu Yihuang to Xiangdi again. Lai Hanying is a little helpless there, and the soldiers and horses there have to be in our hands."

    Shi Dakai said slightly unbearably: "Brother, maybe I can persuade the King of the West to change his mind. As long as the King of the West is on our side, the King of the East will not be too presumptuous, and we can still be like before"

    Hong Xiuquan interrupted Shi Dakai coldly before he finished speaking: "In the past? In the past, it was the two of them who worked together to squeeze Yunshan down, and they also worked together to force the Wang family in Zhutang to have no way out. I don't want to  Let¡¯s talk about the past again!¡± After saying that, he stood up and walked away.

    Shi Dakai was stunned on the spot, Qin Rigang sneered and followed, Wei Changhui walked to Shi Dakai and said calmly: "From the day Heavenly Father descended to earth, it was destined to be like this. Even if the King of the West is willing to submit, will the King of the East be willing?  Dakai, you are too naive." After saying that, he shook his head and followed.

    Shi Dakai looked at Wei Changhui's back in despair, and murmured: "Didn't everyone work together when the Six Kings were the first to rebel? Why is it like this now? Why"

    ¡­¡­

    "Why?" Xiao Yungui was also muttering softly. After returning to the West Prince's Mansion, Xiao Yungui, Hong Yun'er and the Xiao family, Jiang family, and Huang family had a quick meeting, and then they excused themselves to change clothes and returned to the bedroom.

    Hong Yun'er changed into regular clothes, walked out from behind the screen and said, "Why did you say what you said?"

    Xiao Yungui shrugged and said, "I'm talking about the King of Heaven. Why does the King of Heaven look so cowardly? It seems like he doesn't care about anything. He hides in the King of Heaven's Mansion and enjoys himself all day long. I always feel that this doesn't look like the King of Heaven."

    Hong Yun'er also nodded and said: "Yes, I played chess with him. His chess style is arrogant and domineering, which is not like his style." Following her, she opened her teeth slightly and read: "I heard that Tang Yu bowed to me, and he said  The saints of ancient times. The conquests of Tang and Wu were also due to the fortune of Zhongtian. The Han Dynasty had moved to Xinmang, Liu Wen. It also restored Zhongxing. Huiqin was captured by the Jin people, but King Kang of Song still rebelled against the country. This is the old day.  Rotating around is a common occurrence in the past dynasties. Revolutionizing the old and creating new ones is the story of the tired dynasty. But I, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, once founded Nanjing. It was passed down to Huai Zong of the Ji Dynasty, and then died in Bei Jue. Nai Tian's heart was gone, and King Chuang was in chaos  In China, it was painful that the emperor could not retain his throne, so the emperor fled to Wuyue. Cheng Qing made a mistake and should be chasing away tigers and wolves. A bad regent is like a snake sealing a pig. Even if the successful one retreats, why not die for the country? A virtuous person  If you hold the position, why should you hate others if you give way to others?"

    Xiao Yungui clasped his hands slightly. What Hong Yun'er was memorizing was the slogan written by Hong Xiuquan during the Jintian Uprising. Although he could not remember the full text, Hong Yun'er remembered it as soon as he memorized it.

    " I hope that the whole world will lead the land and hold the children in Xianyang. Work together to annihilate the merchants in Muye. Return to the old business, rebuild the Piji, endure the loss of the country's clothes in the Spring and Autumn Period, and lead the heroes of the Central Plains to return our mountains and rivers" Hong Yun  After reading it once, he continued: "Although King Hong Tian distorted the teachings and slandered Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, his desire to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore China was indeed true.Of course, it will not turn a Christianity that spreads the gospel into a God-worshipping religion that slays evildoers. This person's great wisdom and courage cannot be underestimated.  "

    Xiao Yungui nodded and sighed: "I'm worried that King Hong Tian is deliberately showing weakness and paralyzing King Dong. He must have a purpose for doing this!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
