    That night, the British and French fleets parked outside the entrance of Dagu were waiting there neatly, and both Bao Ling and Mai Huatu lost sleep.  During the day, the Qing court's attitude was very tough, but it did not close the door to negotiations. The Qing finance minister said that Prince Gong could go to Dagukou to negotiate with them, but they were absolutely not allowed to enter Beijing, let alone bring any  Troops march into Beijing!

    The attitude of the Qing court left them confused, but they were unwilling to give up the negotiations. After all, the Qing Dynasty seemed to be very sincere in the peace talks this time. It sent a prince to preside over the negotiations, which was unique in the diplomatic history of the Qing Dynasty.  Bao Ling and Maihuatuo discussed it all night but still couldn't come to a good conclusion, so they both fell asleep.

    It was nightfall in Tianjing, thousands of miles away, and everyone was fast asleep. No one knew that secret matters were being discussed in the secret room of the Heavenly King's Mansion.  I saw Hong Renfa, Hong Renda, Qin Rigang, Hu Yihuang, Chen Chengrong and Meng Deen, all sitting around the King of Heaven.  Faced with the aggressive posture of the East King and the posture of preparing to deal with the North King and the Yi King, Hong Xiuquan and others naturally could not sit still and wait for death.

    Hu Yihuang was granted the title of King of Yu after returning to Tianjing, but he still chose to side with the King of Heaven. The reason was simple: Yang Xiuqing deprived him of his military power.

    After everyone gathered together for a long time, they all agreed that the top priority was to prevent the North King and the Yi King from returning to the capital. Once the two kings returned to the capital and were restrained by the East King, the situation was over. The West King's attitude was very unclear, and he might even become the second East King, so the Heavenly King  His hopes were not pinned on Xiao Chaogui.  The King of the North and the King of Wings do not have the courage of the King of the West to resist the general orders of the King of the East. They need the edict of the King of Heaven to act, so someone must send them the edict of the King of Heaven before they can raise troops to serve the king!

    But who should be sent?  How to get out of Tianjing?  Everyone was talking about it and had no idea.  After a while, Hong Renfa said: "Since it's unreliable to send someone else, leave it to me!"

    Meng Deen frowned and said: "No! Thief Yang is very cunning and pays special attention to your family. You can't get out of Tianjing. Besides, Guozong, you have a rude temperament and you don't know how to adapt to changes. You have to mess up things."  .¡±

    Hong Renfa was angry that Meng Deen looked down on him, and said angrily: "Don't underestimate me. How do you know I won't adapt to changes?"

    "Okay, stop arguing." Hong Xiuquan said sullenly: "Brother, are you really good at it?"

    Hong Renfa chuckled and said, "What's so difficult about this! Just give me the edict and send it out, and that's it."

    Chen Chengrong stroked the beard on his chin and suddenly said: "If Guozong wants to accomplish this, it's not impossible, he just has to suffer a little."

    Hong Renfa looked at Chen Chengrong and said, "What are you afraid of if you suffer a little punishment?"

    Hong Xiuquan also looked at Chen Chengrong and said, "If Chengrong has any ideas, please tell me." At that moment, Chen Chengrong whispered his plan. After everyone listened, they shook their heads.  Nod again.  Then Hong Xiuquan straightened his back and said, "That's it. It will be done early tomorrow morning."

    After hearing this, everyone agreed unanimously and said to Hong Renfa: "Master Guozong, you are going to suffer." Hong Renfa laughed and said: "This is nothing, it is much better than mourning the head!"

    At the moment, Hong Xiuquan had a pen in his hand.  He personally wrote an edict to the two kings of Bei and Yi, sealed it with a seal, and handed it to Hong Renfa. The King of the West could not notify him for the time being. He was also afraid that the King of the West would take advantage of the chaos and come to Beijing. In this way, there was no guarantee that the King of the West would not reap the benefits.  , by that time Hong Xiuquan was rejecting the tiger through the front door and entering the wolf through the back door.

    After Hong Xiuquan handed over the imperial edict, he repeatedly asked Hong Renfa: "Be sure to keep it well. Put it in the most secret place. You must know that it is related to the success or failure of the country and tens of millions of lives!" "Long live, don't worry. My people  For the purpose of the imperial edict, it will never fall into the hands of others." Everyone discussed secretly for a while, and then secretly dispersed.

    As the saying goes, walls have ears, but Hong Xiuquan and everyone never expected that this secret discussion would be discovered.  turn out to be.  This person is Hou Huifang, the female police inspector sent to Tianwang Mansion by Yang Xiuqing.  A year ago, Hou Yifang gave it to Hong Xiuquan as a gift from Dongwang.  After that, she gradually became favored.  Frequent in and out of the King's bedroom.

    Hou Huifang has been following the instructions of King Dong, closely monitoring all actions of King Tian, ??and reporting them at any time.  Hou Huifang used all convenient conditions to supervise Hong Xiuquan.  Tonight, Hu Yihuang was discovered by her as soon as he entered the Tianwang Mansion.  After that, she discovered Chen Chengrong, Qin Rigang, Hong Renfa and others.

    Hou Huifang guessed that something must have happened.  She left the others behind and secretly lay outside the window, eavesdropping on the conversations in the house.  Therefore, the whole situation was grasped.  Hou Huifang hurried back to her dormitory, locked the door tightly, and wrote a letter to Yang Xiuqing.

    The letter read: Last night, he (referring to Hong Xiuquan) had a secret discussion with Hong Renfa, Hong Renda, Qin Rigang, Chen Chengrong, Hu Yihuang, Meng Deen and other six people in the study room, and it was found out that Hong Renfa was about to leave the city and be transferred to the north.  Wing Erwangbing.  They will disperse in a matter of seconds.  The word Hui.

    Hou Huifang finished writing the letter, sealed it, and put it in her arms.  In my heart??: I have to send the letter right away.  Tomorrow at noon - maybe in the afternoon, there will be a big chaos in Tianjing.

    Hou Huifang wrote the secret letter and quickly came to the back door of Tianwang Mansion to find her accomplice Yang Si.  Yang Si is a guard of the Tianwang Mansion, and is actually Yang Xiuqing's "investigator".  When she saw that the back door was closed and no one was in the courtyard, she realized that she had arrived too early, before the fourth watch.  She stayed in the courtyard for a while, felt something was wrong, turned around and left.

    At this moment, I suddenly felt a pain in the back of my head, my vision went dark and I fainted.  I saw a dark figure coming out from behind her, looking at Hou Huifang who was fainted on the ground, and whispered to herself: "My king, my king, you are so careless in what you do, and you were overheard so easily.  It¡¯s better for us in the West Palace to help you.¡±

    Following the black shadow, he crouched down and searched for the secret message on Hou Yifang's body. After a quick look, he frowned and thought: The king only mobilizes the troops of the two kings in the north wing. It seems that he is still guarding us in the west palace.  Finally, the dark figure stood up, straightened his clothes, walked under the light and revealed his face, but it was Chen Tongshi, the head guard of the Tianwang Mansion.  He carried Hou Huifang on his shoulders and went to Meng Deen's study in Tianwang Mansion.

    That night, something happened in the Heavenly King's Mansion. Several female officials and guards disappeared, but Hou Huifang and Yang Si survived. Hou Huifang was forced to surrender to the Heavenly King and wrote a secret letter to Yang Xiuqing, but the content was the same as the previous one.  Feng is different.

    This letter is written like this: He (referring to Hong Xiuquan) has had no other changes recently.  Eating wine and listening to music, everything was as usual, and told Hu Yihuang and others that everything would be done according to King Dong's arrangements.  Last night, Hong Renfa came and asked for tens of thousands of silver to build some kind of Xiaoyao Building.  He didn't give it, there were many arguments, and they broke up unhappy.  The word Hui.

    After Meng De¡¯en and Chen Tongshi finished doing this, they put Hou Huifang under house arrest. After all, they still needed her to write a letter to paralyze Yang Xiuqing.  At the same time, he seized the time and reported to the King of Heaven.

    After hearing this, Hong Xiuquan was surprised and happy, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.  He asked Meng De'en to keep the original letter and leave evidence of Yang Xiuqing's crime.  However, Hong Xiuquan did not feel relaxed.  On the contrary, I feel the seriousness and urgency of the matter.

    At five o'clock in the morning, the back door opened. Hou Huifang found the guard Yang Si and handed the letter to him.  After staying for a while, Yang Si sent the letter away on the pretext of something else.  After Hou Huifang returned, she was temporarily placed under house arrest.  After Yang Si came back, he was also monitored.

    After breakfast, Hong Renfa entered the palace, and when he saw Hong Xiuquan, he clamored for money.  When Hong Xiuquan refused to give it, Hong Renfa made a loud noise, which alerted the harem.  People found that the king was livid with anger, furious, pointing at Hong Renfa and roaring: "Don't think that you are my brother, so you dare to do whatever you want. Hum, I can still punish you!"

    Hong Renfa shouted angrily: "How dare you! You are ungrateful. You have forgotten that it was me who brought you up!" "Shut up! How presumptuous!" Hong Xiuquan couldn't bear it anymore and shouted outside: "Come here! Pull him to the rooftop and re-engage him!"  Hit a hundred!¡±

    Hong Renfa was dissatisfied, and the quarrel became more fierce, and he rolled on the ground more aggressively.  Immediately, Chen Tongshi and his guards took him to the rooftop outside the Tianwang Mansion and beat him severely with a hundred-ridged cane.  The beating only caused blood to flow out and the skin to be torn.

    The King of Heaven was still angry and sent an order to seal up Hong Renfa's mansion. He also announced that he was severing brotherhood and was immediately escorted out of Beijing and sent to another place for custody.  When the edict of the Heavenly King reached Dongfu, "Guan Ping" and "Lu Yin" were taken with almost no trouble.  In this way, Hong Renfa was escorted out of Tianjing.

    Two days later, Hong Renfa arrived in Anqing.  He immediately sent his confidants to deliver the two edicts at an emergency speed of 800 miles.  But he didn't know that people from the East Palace were following him along the way. He was also being watched after he arrived in Anqing. His two edicts would never have been sent out if it weren't for the secret help of Bai Zetang, a spy from the West Palace.

    Two days later, a copy of the edict sent by Hong Xiuquan to the two kings of the North Wing appeared on the desk of the Western King.  Xiao Yungui squinted his eyes and read the two imperial edicts several times before passing them to Zuo Zongtang and Hong Yun'er.

    The contents of the two edicts are the same, but the signatures at the beginning are different. Hong Yuner read it first and said: "It seems that Hong Xiuquan was worried that we would go to Beijing to pick peaches, so he did not give us the edict for the West Palace."

    Zuo Zongtang smiled lightly and said: "Hong Xiuquan is indeed a talented scholar with little knowledge. If I were him, I would be the first to issue an edict to the King of the West, and I would have to issue three copies in a row."

    Xiao Yungui asked curiously: "Why is this?"

    Zuo Zongtang smiled and said: "Lock the King of the West with the righteous title of the King of Heaven, so that the King of the West can tie your hands and feet. It's best now. The King of Heaven will not issue an edict. When the chaos in Tianjing happens, who can we fight?  No one will criticize me for my banner, it¡¯s really God helping me.¡±

    Hong Yun'er smiled and said: "That's right. If the Heavenly King's edict comes, let us be the vanguard and fight to the death with the Eastern King, and then the two kings' armies on the north wing will follow. This is not cost-effective. Moreover, there are constraints from the Heavenly King's edict.  Here we goIt¡¯s not easy to do things well. If the King of the East is defeated in the future, we will have no choice but to obey the King of Heaven when we enter the capital.  Good thing now, if Dong Wang loses, we will take the banner of taking Dong Wang Zhaoxue¡¯s place and marry him!  "

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "That's it. Let Chen Tongshi monitor Hong Xiuquan. The Zhang family in the East Prince's Palace should also pay attention to the actions of the East Prince. Li Zuoche and the Tianjing West Prince's Palace family will protect the family. It won't take long.  , I can return to Beijing." Zuo Zongtang and Hong Yun'er both smiled and nodded.

    He followed Xiao Yungui and asked: "Is there any movement from the British and French sides at Dagukou?"
