Chapter 286 Heavenly King Xiuquan

The Heavenly King's Mansion goes to Huangjiatang in the east, to Beiting Lane in the west, to Fuqiao in the north, to Taiping Bridge in the south, to Kexiang in the south. It is known as "the ninth level of palace walls, and the building is Chonghong". The palace city is divided into two levels inside and outside, called Sun City outside, and is called Jinlong City inside, and has moats outside. The main gate of Sun City is the Tianchao Gate, the main gate of Jinlong City is the Shengtian Gate, and the main hall is the Jinlong Hall. There are two halls and three halls, with halls passing through the harem and finally Houlin Garden, with gardens on the east and west sides.

In the later history of Xiao Yungui, the Heavenly King Mansion later became the Presidential Mansion in Nanjing, but Xiao Yungui always felt that there was a problem with Feng Shui here, otherwise why did the two generations of power centers established here collapse?

In the Golden Dragon Hall, Xiao Yungui met the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. Unlike the last time he met in Changsha, this time the Heavenly King wore a dragon and phoenix golden crown. The golden crown was like an ancient croaker, with a dragon on the left and right, with a phoenix standing on the top of the helmet, a tassel and spear on the top, and jewelry tassels around it. The crown and forehead were embroidered with two dragons and single phoenixes, and the middle of the crown and forehead were embroidered with two golden characters. The two characters of Heavenly King were embroidered with bright yellow satin robe, with nine dragons embroidered on the robe, and the feet were bright yellow satin boots, and the golden dragons were embroidered with eight embroidered on each boot, which was very bright and brilliant. However, the dragon embroidered on the dragon robe and boots had a circle of eyes enlarged and the eyeballs were shrinking. This was not the first time that Xiao Yungui saw such a strange dragon, because the same was true for the same time on the Western King Dragon Robe.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom despised the Qing Dynasty's clothing and believed that shaving hair and hanging braids was a "slave mark imposed on the people". So it began to fight in traditional costumes (actually the Han costumes of the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties), and "abandoned the Qing Dynasty's official uniforms everywhere" and "trampled on each other", and stipulated that "no gauze hats and pheasants feathers" and "no horse hoof sleeves" were used. During the Yong'an period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the crown and clothing system was initially formulated. After conquering Changsha, "there was a distinction between the chariot and horse clothing, it was revised after the capital was established in Tianjing. The mortal yamen was established.

The crowns and hats of the generals of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were made of horn hats, wind hats, cool hats and hats. The horn hats were decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns on the court hats. The robes were divided into two types: long robe and mahogany, with round neck and wide sleeves, with patterns embroidered on them, and the positions were distinguished by patterns. The robes were red and yellow, and the positions were distinguished by colors. The robe was not a unique clothing of the Qing Dynasty. When the robe was inherited from China, it is not yet verified, but it was recorded that it began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, established in the Three Kingdoms, flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and evolved. It was probably the same as the pleats. The robes of the Qing Dynasty mostly used large-sleeved double-breasted mahogany, while the robes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were different.

However, the dragon robe is not unique to the Heavenly King in Taiping Heavenly Heaven. Except for the Heavenly King, other officials must not wear dragon robes according to the occasion. Low-level officials must not wear dragon robes. However, the court hats with dragon patterns are the first robes of most officials. Each king also wears dragon robes, but the number of dragons embroidered on his body is different. The Heavenly King has nine dragon embroidery. One of the East King is eight dragons, and the rest decrease in sequence. When Hong Xiuquan launched the uprising, he used the mouth of God to call the dragon "devil" and "monster". Then when he wore the dragon robe himself, it was impossible to explain, so he shot the dragon through at one glance. It is called the treasure golden dragon from the right point, so such a strange dragon robe embroidery pattern appeared.

When Xiao Yungui came to the Golden Dragon Palace, Hong Xiuquan was playing chess with Hong Yuner. When he saw him coming, the king pushed the flap up and laughed and went down the jade stairs to greet him.

Xiao Yungui knew that Hong Xiuquan was pretending to be intimate and flirted with affection, so he bent his knees and bowed down to salute. Hong Xiuquan laughed and helped Xiao Yungui up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work, come and sit down and talk."

Hong Yuner also followed with a smile, and the three of them sat on the red silk chair in the hall. Hong Xiuquan said with a smile: "The prince went to Changsha, conquered Hengyang, seized Wuchang, and occupied Jinling. Now he defeated Sunan and expanded the territory for our heavenly kingdom. What he deserved was destroyed and what he attacked was actually the number one general of our heavenly kingdom. He should have come out to greet him personally when he returned to Beijing today, but he heard that his heavenly father was in the palace. He had to wait in the palace for his brother, but he was afraid that his heavenly father would summon him, so he should not blame him."

Xiao Yungui hurriedly got up and fisted and said, "I dare not. The king of heaven is busy with all his might and still miss me. I am honored."

Hong Xiuquan looked at Hong Yuner with a smile and said, "Look at our Western King. You have been following your sister for a long time and have learned a lot of knowledge. You are not the Western King who only knows how to fight and charge."

Xiao Yungui smiled slightly and said, "Second brother, thanks to Xuan Jiao, I can read more words."

At that moment, Hong Xiuquan was very enthusiastic about chatting with Xiao Yungui. Most of the questions were about daily life and diet, and occasionally asked about military and political affairs, but only briefly mentioned it.

The more I talked about Xiao Yungui, the more suspicious he felt. No matter how he looked at this, Hong Xiuquan didn't look like the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but like the lewd otaku uncle of later generations. He kept saying the family's confusion and often said some of the teachings of worshiping God's religion, which made people look down upon. Moreover, during the conversation, Hong Xiuquan changed three kinds of tea, ate five smaller pieces, and applied her face three times with a bath towel. Life was extremely particular, and she no longer had the mighty spirit of Jintian raising troops back then.

Then Xiao Yungui changed the topic and talked about the handling of the captured generals of the Qing army. Hong Xiuquan said: "You can discuss this with Xiupian."

Xiao Yungui talked about the new policy in southern Jiangsu again, but Hong Xiuquan shook his head and said, "My deeds also say that the whole world is equal and unparalleled. What we want to establish is a prosperous era where there are money and clothes, and farming with fields and farming with the world. If the new policy in southern Jiangsu creates something unrelated, then what is the difference between us and the Qing demon? This matter is not appropriate for the people."

Xiao Yungui was stunned. It seemed that the legacy of Christian equality among the leader Hong was very profound. He wanted to establish an ancient prosperous era where the world was for the public, but he himself could not be the justice of the saints of Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang. He hid in the deep palace and was extravagant. The people outside were still eating black beans and rice bran. He still had the face to say that the world was for the public?

At this moment, Xiao Yungui was not willing to talk to him too much. It should be noted that Master Hong has a tough and stinky temper. Yang Xiuqing often advised him not to use the great killing weapon of Heavenly Father descending to the earth to cure him. He could no longer just make Brother Tian fall down to the earth, so there was no need to say anything. It would be useless if he said it, and Hong Xiuquan would not listen.

Now he talked about sending troops north again. This time, Hong Xiuquan had no objection and said, "You are the magistrates, you can discuss the matters in the military with Xiu Piao. If you are in war, you should share the burden on Xiu Piao's shoulders and take on more military affairs for him. After the quarrels and Da Piao go north, you can also let you control the military affairs in Jiangbei together, but you have to take on the burden and don't bother Xiu Piao in everything. Xiu Piao has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and you can make the decision on the military."

Hong Xiuquan's few gentle words surprised Xiao Yungui slightly. This otaku uncle was not stupid. He knew very well. If he had not worn the same pants as Yang Xiuqing, his words would arouse his intention to compete for Yang Xiuqing's military power. Master Hong should not be underestimated.

But Xiao Yungui is not stupid either. He will act as Hong Xiuquan's pawn to rush forward to compete for military power with Yang Xiuqing. He bowed and said, "The second brother has taught me a lesson, but my younger brother is still tender, and I still need to listen to the second brother and fourth brother's words more. I have some rules for the military affairs, but the talent of Dazi and Dazi is not inferior to my younger brother. I will prove to each other more with Dazi later, and there is no need to let my younger brother control all kinds of troops."

Seeing that Xiao Yungui didn't accept this hot potato, Hong Xiuquan said oh, stopped forcing him, and asked again: "I heard that you have many contacts with the Westerners in Shanghai. They also believe in the God of Heavenly Father. Do those foreign brothers know me?"

Xiao Yungui replied: "The king's reputation spreads all over the world, and the Westerners and others naturally know that this time, they also gave a lot of tributes to me for me to give them."

Hong Xiuquan was happy on his face and said with a smile: "These foreign brothers are really intent. Why not let them come to Beijing together? I can discuss the doctrine with them?"

Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner looked at each other, and both thought to themselves, who would dare to let them come? If foreign priests such as Luo Weilin listened to your strange teachings like Master Hong, they would be terrified.

Hong Yuner interrogated: "Brother, most of the priests who preach in Shanghai are from other sects, and their doctrines are different from ours. I am afraid that they will come to Tianjing for the sake of preaching something unknown. I am afraid that it will be bad for the people of heaven and earth. My younger sister is still teaching them now. After they turn to my doctrine, they will let them go to Beijing." Hong Yuner quickly dispelled Hong Xiuquan's idea. Hong Yuner's Taiping Christian transformation in the West Hall was still very effective. Priests from various countries only regarded it as a changing tribe of Christianity in China and could still accept it, but Hong Yuner knew that they would never accept Hong Xiuquan's strange doctrine, and even more so that Hong Xiuquan could regard himself as the second son of God. Therefore, they must not let foreigners come to Tianjing, otherwise they would show their strength when they meet.

The missionary officials in the West Palace were taught by Hong Yuner. The Western King and his wife were like gods in the West Palace Army. Not to mention that the Western King was possessed by Brother Tian, ​​even the daughter of Hong Yuner's Heavenly Father was quite scary. The dogma reform carried out by Hong Yuner in the West Palace was quite smooth. To be honest, no one in the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom except Master Hong, might be considered one of them. If Feng Yunshan was still there, but King Nan had passed away, only Master Hong was deeply aware of the doctrine. The people of the Heavenly** feel that there is no difference between worshiping God and worshiping Bodhisattvas, just like the evil dragon mentioned earlier. Sometimes Hong Xiuquan himself could not make up for himself. Hong Yuner's change of doctrine was considered a kind of perfection of doctrine by everyone, so no one delves into the difference between worshiping God and worshiping Bodhisattvas.

After hearing Hong Yun'er's words, Hong Xiuquan nodded and said, "My sister is right. Then let me teach you more foreign brothers. You must know that God, the Heavenly Father, believed in my ancient Chinese. This is the authentic doctrine. Although the Westerners and others have learned some rare things and learned a lot of doctrines, we cannot despise him. As the saying goes, there is no difference in religion, so we should educate them more and let them return to the journey."

After hearing Master Hong’s big talk, Hong Yuner held back her laughter and said seriously: “Brother, this sacred and unparalleled word seems to be Confucius’ words.”

Hong Xiu was slightly embarrassed. After all, he was born in the book of Confucius for more than ten years. Sometimes Confucius still couldn't help but say it. This is because of habit.

Hong Yuner continued: "Brother, I heard that Heavenly Father came to earth to pass the imperial edict, and asked us not to destroy all ancient books. In fact, my younger sister felt that it was like the Four Books and Five Classics. Many books of Confucius and Mencius could still be kept. Even if they could not be kept, many words have penetrated into our bones. I am afraid that they can't be removed even if they go. So be more generous and allow us to keep these books."
