Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Tianjing in June, the weather has become sultry and sultry, making people particularly irritable.  There is a unique cave in the Duobao Tower of Dongwang Mansion.  The overhanging eaves and tall buildings block the sun, and the breeze blows on your body, which is very refreshing. After nightfall, it is even cooler and pleasant.  Despite this, Yang Xiuqing's heart was on fire and she was sweating.

    At this moment, he was staying alone in the room, thinking hard and planning a big event.  The three kings on the northwest wing were far away from the capital, and everything inside and outside Tianjing was already controlled by the troops of the East Palace.  Dozens of city gates, all transportation fortresses, and dock posts are firmly in his hands.  But the cost of controlling Tianjing by oneself is also high. Each of the three kings has soldiers and horses outside. If he does anything rebellious in Tianjing, I am afraid that the three kings with soldiers and horses will not agree.  He began to regret letting the princes leave the capital in the first place, but the families of the princes and their families were all in Tianjing, so there was something to worry about.

    There were also several people in Tianjing City who made him worry. In order to realize his long-cherished wish, he had to be extra cautious.  He wanted to replace Hong Xiuquan and become the supreme ruler of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.  All resistance must be eliminated, and Yang Xiuqing will not hesitate to use violent means if necessary.  His first consideration was Hong Xiuquan, a teacher from a mountain village.  Didn't take him seriously at all.  In fact, he has already replaced everything about Hong Xiuquan, but he has not changed in name.  After King Dong came to power, although Hong Xiuquan was dissatisfied with him, he did not dare to contradict him by name, which fully demonstrated his incompetence and fear of himself. He had no soldiers or generals and could be manipulated at will.

    Yang Xiuqing's mind flashed, and she thought of Qin Rigang again. This Qin Rigang was the King of Yan, and he was somewhat capable, but after all, he had limited troops.  Can it still make big waves?  As for Mondern, Hong Renfa, Hong Renda and others, they are just rustic country bumpkins, let alone talk about them.  Originally, Hong Xiuquan intended to transfer his uncle Lai Hanying back to Tianjing, but was always blocked by Yang Xiuqing. Now Lai Hanying has died in Changsha.  Saved a lot of trouble

    Yang Xiuqing thought about it over and over again, and then thought about Hu Yihuang, and couldn't help but frown.  This person is indifferent to emotions and anger, is deep and sophisticated, has both civil and military skills, and has high prestige in Beijing.  Moreover, even though he was leading the troops outside and was nominally under the control of the East Palace, he was also very obedient. Hu Yihuang handled the confrontation with the West Palace well this time.  But Yang Xiuqing recently heard that the King of Heaven sent someone to Jiangxi to meet Hu Yihuang, which made it difficult for the suspicious Yang Xiuqing to accept.  He began to feel that Hu Yihuang was not reliable either.  After thinking about it, Yang Xiuqing decided to transfer Hu Yihuang back and make him king. He should be the head of the civil service and rank in the imperial class. It would be safe to hand over the military power of Jiangxi to Yang Fuqing.

    It is expected that Hu Yihuang would not dare to directly resist the orders of the East Palace like Xiao Chaogui.  It would be best to make Hu Yihuang come back with all his heart by conferring the title of king.  For my own use.  Otherwise, let Yang Fuqing kill him in the army.

    Yang Xiuqing¡¯s head felt a little swollen, so she wandered upstairs a few times, then stood in front of the window and looked out.  But I saw the mysterious and boundless sky, the dense stars, twinkling and blinking.  He thought: Is there really a God in heaven?  Where exactly?  Where is that beautiful paradise?  Does he know everything in the world and everyone¡¯s psychology?  Does he also know what I am thinking now?

    Yang Xiuqing thought wildly for a while.  Suddenly, he thought of the three kings far away from Beijing.  The first thing he thought of was King Bei, who had never had a good impression of Wei Changhui.  He is nothing more than a country bumpkin who is rich and wealthy, he is full of vulgar flesh and bones, and his behavior is full of philistine habits.  This man is cunning, hypocritical and insidious.  A man who hides his sword in his smile is not worthy of being a king, not even a soldier.  How did he get to the top?  Oh, by the way, he is rich, and he got the throne with his wealth.  However, he is still very respectful to himself. He doesn't get angry when he beats him, doesn't mind scolding him, and even kills his brother. This Wei Changhui can endure it. He has been consistent for many years and never cares about personal grudges.  You can be sure that once he ascends the throne, he will not object.  This kind of person is a mother if she has breasts. The grass on the wall will fall with the wind, and the wind will blow in any direction, so there is no need to worry.

    Thinking of King Yi, Yang Xiuqing felt a little troublesome. Shi Dakai was a man with a lot of beauty in his chest and a good plan. He was capable of bringing peace to the country with his literary skills and his military skills. He was smart, witty and upright.  Various things showed that he would not agree to proclaim himself emperor, and all resistance would come from him.  Especially since he commands a large number of troops and holds real power, he is really a formidable enemy.

    In the end, Yang Xiuqing reluctantly thought of the King of the West, with whom she had been as close as brothers, and how she and he had joined forces to squeeze out Feng Yunshan and sideline Hong Xiuquan. She also thought of how she had become estranged from him and started to drift further and further away.  of.

    Yang Xiuqing became very agitated. The strong military strength displayed by the West Palace made him feel deeply uneasy.  Xiao Chaogui may seem rude, but in fact he is not inferior to himself in his strategy. Although King Yi is also popular and talented, he still has his own weakness, that is, King Yi is too benevolent and righteous, and he is not as shameless as King Xi.  Therefore, what Yang Xiuqing fears the most in her heart is Xiao Chaogui., No matter from which aspect, Yang Xiuqing felt that Xiao Chaogui alone was even more threatening than the two kings of the North Wing.

    But he can¡¯t go all out to deal with the King of the West now. He is worried that once he loses the duel with the West Palace, Tianjing will be taken advantage of by the two kings of the North Wing, and he will lose everything.  Fortunately, West Palace did not completely fall out this time. Xiao Chaogui still left some room, so Yang Xiuqing also left some room.

    Yang Xiuqing was troubled by this matter. Finally, he thought hard and decided to deal with the two kings of the North Wing first to eliminate his worries, and then have a showdown with Xiao Chaogui.  Finally he thought hard and finally started to implement his plan.

    The first is to call King Bei and King Yi back to the capital. Yang Xiuqing is going to deal with these two people in Tianjing. It is best for them to know the current affairs, so Yang Xiuqing doesn't mind letting them be two idle princes in Tianjing.  Although the North King and the Yi King had many troops, Yang Xiuqing was sure that the two kings would not dare to resist his orders like Xiao Chaogui did.  At the same time, the soldiers and horses of the East Palace are also ready to enter Hubei and Anhui at any time. The Yangtze River waterway is under the control of the East Palace, which is enough to put the soldiers and horses of the two kings into trouble.

    The second is to force Hong Xiuquan to abdicate after resolving the military power of the two kings, allowing Hong Xiuquan to be his leader of Anle, and justifiably replace him, creating an established fact.  No matter how talented you are, Xiao Chaogui, you can't push me down.  When the status was determined, Xiao Chaogui would mobilize his troops to serve as king.  Yang Xiuqing could also, as the ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven, command the entire Kingdom of Heaven to fight with the West Palace.

    The third is to use force to fight against the West Palace.  As long as he subdues the troops of the two kings on the north wing, plus the army of the east palace, the west palace will be unable to support itself.  At the same time, Tianjing is strong and the Yangtze River is dangerous, and the East Palace occupies the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.  No matter how strong the troops in the West Palace are, what can they do to me?  He has a fortified city in front of him and a Qing army behind him. He is surrounded by enemies from both sides and is isolated and helpless. At that time, I will send someone who can speak well.  You have stated your interests to him, promised him a high official and a generous salary, and given him lots of gold and silver, and even threatened the lives of your entire family. Are you still afraid that he will not surrender?

    Thinking of this, Yang Xiuqing let out a long breath.  The tight facial features relaxed. From the beginning to the end, Yang Xiuqing never thought about killing people. In his eyes, he was still sure of conquering these people.  He drank a few mouthfuls of honey juice and ate some fruit, feeling relaxed and comfortable.  As soon as he saw that it was not too late, he shouted outside: "Here comes someone!" A handsome female official came in in response.  Kneel down and ask for orders.  Yang Xiuqing said: "Call Hou Shangshu here." "I obey the order!" The female official turned around and left.

    Soon, with the sound of footsteps, Hou Qianfang walked into the room and respectfully kowtowed to Yang Xiuqing three times. Yang Xiuqing gave him a flat body and asked, "Have there been any changes in Beijing?"

    Hou Qianfang bowed and said: "Everything is normal." "What is the Heavenly King doing?" "Back when I was nine thousand years old, our people kept sending news, saying that the Heavenly King had been ill for five or six days and had just recovered recently. He hid in Concubine Xie's room all day long.  Composing poems and playing chess. Sometimes, I also listen to Concubine Fang singing little songs. The King of Heaven wakes up late, goes to bed early, and does nothing else."

    "Yes!" Yang Xiuqing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tell our people to monitor closely and report at any time." "Yes!" Hou Qianfang was very respectful.

    Yang Xiuqing asked again: "Has anyone come in or out of the Heavenly King's Mansion?" Hou Qianfang said: "Three days ago, Hong Renda went there once. We had dinner with the Heavenly King. They talked about things in his hometown and did not involve government affairs. I heard that  Talking about Hong Renxuan, another Guozong of the Hong family; and Hong Renfa, the Guozong, went there at noon the day before yesterday. He clamored to build a happy building and asked the king to allocate tens of thousands of silver to him. The king refused and even talked to him.  He made a big fuss. Besides, no one was there."

    Yang Xiuqing frowned when he heard this and said: "Hong Renxuan? Is he the teacher who did not join us in the army and later stayed in Guangxi?" "It is this person. I heard that this person later came to Hong Kong and studied with missionaries in Hong Kong."

    Yang Xiuqing sneered: "Another sour scholar, nothing to worry about." Then asked: "Where is Hu Yihuang?" Yang Xiuqing raised her voice, appearing to pay special attention to it.  "If I return to Jiu Qian, the Protector of the Country has already arrived at Ningguo Mansion and will be able to enter the capital in a few days."

    Yang Xiuqing hummed and said, "Has anyone seen him?" "No, no."

    Yang Xiuqing pondered for a moment and then asked: "Where are the North King and Yi King?" Hou Qianfang said: "The Bei King replied yesterday, saying that he would return to Tianjing soon after entrusting military affairs. Yi King has arrived in Jiujiang."

    Yang Xiuqing hummed and said, "Who is left in Yidian to lead the troops?" "I heard that it is King Yi's father-in-law Huang Yukun and Zeng Jinqian and several national clans. King Yi only brought Zhang Suimou and Shi to Beijing this time.  Zhenji." Hou Qianfang said slowly.

    Yang Xiuqing nodded with satisfaction and said, "What's going on in the West Hall recently?"

    "Back when I was nine thousand years old, Xi Dian has been busy recently with the rebels of the Guangdong Tiandihui. I heard that the foreign brothers' fleet is always hanging around Shanghai, and Xi Wang has been sitting in Shanghai."

    Yang XiuqingHe said with a smile: "Compatriot Da is really enthusiastic. The Tiandihui and other Jianghu figures have made great efforts to win over them. How is the recruitment of the Tiandihui soldiers and horses in Jiangxi who have taken refuge with us?" Hou Qianfang said: "According to the instructions of King Dong, we have been organized  He served in the Citi Army and fought with Yang Fuqing, the emperor of the country."

    Yang Xiuqing nodded, played with the jade ring in his hand and said: "Then we will act according to the plan and order the Yangtze River Navy to be on strict alert. The surveillance of the princes' palaces in Tianjing must not be relaxed. The people of the princes' palaces are not allowed to leave the capital without my decree."  Send personnel to monitor the movements of the princes¡¯ palaces, and order the defense forces in Tianjing to be on strict guard!¡±

    After Hou Qianfang accepted the order, Yang Xiuqing drove him away, and Yang Xiuqing was the only one left in the room. His eyes gradually became more fiery, and he looked at the sky and murmured to himself: "I was able to suppress Feng Yunshan a few years ago.  , it¡¯s the same now, no one can threaten my power as King Dong!¡±
