As Zuo Zongtang expected, the undercurrents in the city of Tianjing these days were surging, and an ominous aura enveloped the inside and outside. Even the sky did not cool down, but became even more stuffy and irritable.

On that day, King Yu Hu Yihuang sat in the mansion, and suddenly someone reported: "The King of the East has an order, please ask King of the Yu to come to the mansion to discuss matters." Hu Yihuang was shocked. Since he surrendered to the Heavenly King, he had always been worried that the matter of the East Window would be retaliated against by the King of the East. Although it was calm since then, the more he did this, Hu Yihuang felt more anxious. Now that King Yihuang had returned to Tianjing, he was closely monitored by the people of the East Palace. Even the King of the Yu Palace had many whistles. Hu Yihuang had always been careful, for fear that the King of the East would see the flaws. At this time, he suddenly heard that the King of the East was summoned. Naturally, he was frightened when he was guilty, but good fortune was not a disaster, but a disaster could not escape. Thinking of this, he had to change his court uniform and take a horse to the East Palace to wait for the imperial decree.

A moment later, a female Chengxuan came in and said, "Nine Thousand Years of Life, please invite King Yu to visit Wangyun Tower." Hu Yihuang was deeply puzzled when he heard this. It turned out that Wangyun Tower belonged to the inner garden and was a forbidden area of ​​the East Mansion, and the foreign ministers were not allowed to enter. The King of Dong summoned him there, so why? With a nervous mood, he followed the female Chengxuan to the downstairs of Wangyun Tower.

The Minister of the East Palace, Hou Qianfang, was waiting here. When he saw Hu Yihuang, he hurriedly took the tribute and said, "I welcome the king's lord for a thousand years." Hu Yihuang helped him up and said, "Hou Shangshu is exempt from courtesy, so I can't afford it." Hu Yihuang knew very well that Hou Qianfang was a popular person in Yang Xiuqing's eyes, and the eyes of the East King, and was the famous leader of the "Local". Although he was not at a high position, he held the power of the East Mansion. Therefore, ordinary people dare not offend him.

"Please go up to the tower, Nine Thousand Years are waiting for you!" Hou Qianfang said. He led the way in front of him, and Hu Yihuang followed him into Wangyun Tower.

It was his first time to come here, but he saw a mahogany floor at his feet, covered with a thick Western carpet, a golden thread, a platter of flowers, embroidered with landscapes, a yellow satin on the wall, and a pattern of nine dragons playing in the water. Above his head was a carved ceiling, painted with sun, moon and stars. Every five steps, an octagonal golden glass lamp was hung. Thousands of doors and doors were winding, mysterious and solemn, with pearls and treasures flashing everywhere, as if they were in a magnificent maze. A pair of female officials, like fairies, stood quietly on both sides with their hands hanging down, if they weren't moving their eyes, almost the same as dead.

Hu Yihuang followed Hou Qianfang. He walked through a wide hall and began to climb the stairs. They walked on the elastic carpet and hovered up the mahogany handrails, and climbed up to the fifth floor.

"The King of Yu is here--" The female official on duty was whispering one by one. The voice was round and pleasant. Hu Yihuang stopped at the entrance of the hall, and his whole crown was shaking his robe, waiting for the visit. Hou Qianfang went in first to ask for instructions, then walked out and waved his hand to King of Yu. Hu Yihuang walked into the hall. But he saw that this was a hexagonal building, with light blue curtains covering the sun. There were thrones placed on the south and the north, and four golden screens were blocking the back. This throne could be leaned, lying, and rotated at will. It was specially presented by the King of the West. It is said that it was made by several British people. According to the King of the West, this thing is worth ten thousand gold and is a treasure of a great country. There are two-purpose equipment in the hall.

Reliefs, tapestries, statues, sofas, swivel chairs, Eight Immortals tables, ebony benches, cinnabar bottles, gold and silver utensils, ceramic paintings, famous calligraphy and paintings, and full of Linzi. On the ceiling, there are lotus lanterns with gilded crystal treasures, unique shapes and luxuriousness. Even in the Qing palace, it is difficult to have such treasures. The most eye-catching thing is that the large Western bell placed on the door: two meters high, similar to an ancient Roman church; several female angels holding clock plates; the twelve Arabic numerals are all made of red and green gems; the red gold bells are as bright as mirrors, swinging back and forth. Hu Yihuang was dazzled and dizzy. He thought to himself: There is such a magnificent hall in the world!

At this moment, Yang Xiuqing was sitting upright on the throne. He wore a double dragon single phoenix pearl crown and a big yellow soft satin dragon robe. The speed of his left eye still made his eyes half open and half closed, exuding a cold breath, but the East King was smiling at Hu Yihuang.

King Yu did not dare to be negligent, so he took a few steps, knelt in front of Yang Xiuqing, and said, "Nine Thousand Years are above, Hu Yihuang's name is to see Thousand Years, Thousand Years!"

"Flat!" Yang Xiuqing stretched out his hand and said, "Give him a seat!" Hou Qianfang hurriedly helped Hu Yihuang up and let him sit on the Taishi chair on the side.

Hu Yihuang bowed and said, "I don't know if Jiu Qiansui calls the humble master here, what kind of instructions do you have?" Yang Xiuqing was slightly happy and said, "It's okay, I'll talk to you casually. Come on, pour me and the old friend first." "Yes!"

Hou Qianfang took two carved crystal cups, poured them with fine wine, and brought them to the East King on a silver plate. Yang Xiuqing said, "This is the etiquette of foreign brothers. I will give you a glass of wine when I meet. This is the British wine presented by the West King, which is very delicious. Come on, let's have a drink first." After that, he picked up the glass and drank it all in one go.

Hu Yihuang also picked up the wine glass: "Thank you for the reward of Jiu Qiansui." He also drank the wine.

"How is it, it tastes good, right?"

“It’s really sweet and has a different flavor.”

"Come on, give it to the full!"

"No, no, one cup is enough."

Yang Xiuqing smiled and said, "Brother, why are you polite! Qianfang, I'll send someone to send two boxes to King Yu in a while." "Yes, I'll go now." Hu Yihuang said thanks again and again, but Yang Xiuqing refused and had to go with him.

After Hou Qianfang left, only King Dong and King Yu were left in the hall. Yang Xiuqing walked down from the throne, sat beside Hu Yihuang, and asked, "I heard that you are sick, but your complexion is not ugly."

Hu Yihuang was shocked and said hurriedly: "I have numbness in my limbs, so my diet has not decreased."

Yang Xiuqing patted Hu Yihuan's shoulder and said kindly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have the best supple supple blood-activation pill here. I will take it to you after taking it." "Thank you for the grace of Jiu Qiansheng." Yang Xiuqing said again, "Don't be polite to me, okay? This is not a palace, why are you doing quaint words!"

After hearing this, Hu Yihuang couldn't help but remember the past. A few years ago, when he was in the Jintian Tuan Camp, Yang Xiuqing had this kind of personality. He was cheerful, bold, unrestrained, and laughed loudly. Sometimes he was very humorous, and he was casual, eating the same meal, and sleeping on the same bed. Since Yong'an was appointed king, brothers have been built with a high wall, with limited movement and restrained speaking, and the relationship between people has become hypocritical and weakened. Especially after the founding of Tianjing, the wall has become higher and higher, and the relationship between people has evolved from hypocrisy to coldness. Today, the King of Dong suddenly became abnormal and his words have returned to his former appearance, which surprised him deeply.

They chatted about family matters for a while, and Yang Xiuqing suddenly asked, "How do you evaluate Wei Zheng?" Hu Yihuang heard this and didn't know how to answer. Yang Xiuqing smiled and said, "You said, "You talk about the past and the present, and say whatever you want!"

Hu Yihuang said: "Wei Zheng was a great politician in the Tang Dynasty. He was listed as the ancient 'Legend of Virtue'. He was the predecessor of the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and the subsequent residency of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. He dared to speak out and advise the emperor without showing favoritism. Emperor Dazong of Tang compared him to a mirror, and he was really a rare loyal minister."

Yang Xiuqing said: "Legendly, Li Jiancheng trusts him very much. The two are brothers and close. Wei Zheng once advocated killing Li Shimin in front of Li Jiancheng and fighting for the throne. This shows how close their monarch and ministers are. But later, Wei Zheng relied on himself and protected Li Shimin to recognize his enemy as his father. Are people like this still worthy of a virtuous prime minister?"

Hu Yihuang said, "You can't say that. Li Jiancheng is ignorant, stubborn and self-righteous, and is not worthy of being a monarch at all. Wei Zheng knew this. However, he did not abandon him because of this. He worked for Li Jiancheng with the belief that his loyal ministers do not serve the two masters, similar to Zhuge Liang's support for A Dou. This is very rare. Li Jiancheng did not accept loyal advice and even died, which was entirely due to his own fault and had nothing to do with Wei Zheng. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Wei Zheng was captured and wanted to die, but he met Li Shimin, who was as broad as a sea of ​​people and eager to seek talent. Wei Zheng was grateful to the King of Qin for his favor, so he served the new master. He did not betray Li Jiancheng, how could he say that he recognized the enemy as his father? Judging from his humble duties, this is called a hero who knows the times and is a hero who is a hero!"

"Good words! Very good!" Yang Xiuqing laughed, shaking the glass window. He held Hu Yisha's hand and said, "I hope you are also Wei Zheng, to be a hero who knows the current affairs!" After hearing this, Hu Yisha was shocked. In an instant, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Yang Xiuqing intently. Yang Xiuqing was still laughing, but she smiled unnaturally, with a faint murderous aura on her face. She stared at Hu Yisha with a sharp look.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the hall. Hou Qianfang hurried over and reported to the King of Dong: "The East Mansion's civil and military personnel asked to see the nine thousand years old." "What's the matter?" Yang Xiuqing asked. "You will know then." After saying that, he waved his hand outside and saw the Eastern Palace Secretary Li Wende, Xiao Chengshun, Pushe Chao Jianzhong, Liu Chun, Axian, female chief Yang Shuijiao, Ouyang Chun and others, and more than 200 men and women, civil and military personnel, lined up in. They were all wearing court uniforms, neatly and serious, facing the north, and stood with their hands down.

Hou Qianfang stood in front of the right side of the team and sang loudly: "Please go to the throne for nine thousand years!" Yang Xiuqing returned to the throne and sat down. Hou Qianfang said again: "Everyone will follow me to recite the verses. I will recite one sentence, and you will follow one sentence." After saying that, he pulled the long voice and chanted: "The great responsibility of the general of heaven is, only my Eastern King." "The great responsibility of the general of heaven is, only my Eastern King." Everyone repeated.

Hu Yihuang dared not refuse to obey, and stood behind Hou Qianfang and also began to recite. Hou Qianfang continued to recite: "The great responsibility of heaven is the only king of the East. He pacified the demons and established the country, pacified all directions. His achievements were made of the sun and the moon, and his virtues were spread to Jiujiang. The people praised him, and the world was healthy. For thousands of generations, he lived forever. He should inherit the great throne and ascend the emperor. He returned to the world and received eternal prosperity." After singing, he bowed first. Everyone knelt down and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live!" Yang Xiu sat upright and accepted everyone's worship.

At this moment, Hu Yihuang understood: this is his plan, step, and planned long-term usurpation! Now, even he is trapped inside and has become a usurpation man. He wants to alienate himself and the King of Heaven. This is Yang Xiuqing's purpose of finding himself. He was angry and hated, and he secretly shouted and cursed: Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing, your methods are too cruel. However, he did not dare to show it on the surface.

After the worship, Yang Xiuqing stepped back from everyone, grabbed Hu Yihuang and said, "Old friend, what do you mean?" Hu Yihuang bowed and said, "Long live my feelings!" Yang Xiuqing laughed and said, "Hahaha, this is like Wei Zheng! However, such a big thing must be decided by Heavenly Father and Brother Heaven, and mortals must not argue. The brother sincerely supports me as the emperor, and I will know what I know." He turned around and ordered Hou Qianfang, "Prepare ten boxes of supple-supple blood-activation pills for King Yu. Then send Chunxin and Chunrui to the palace of Prince Yu. Tell them that from today on, they will be the concubines of King Yu." "Abide by the order!"

Hu Yihuang waved his hand and refused, "No, no. I will not take a concubine, please take it back after nine thousand years." Yang Xiuqing sneered: "Everything can be made an exception. What is the purpose of marrying two little wives? Don't forget, this is an imperial edict!"

Hou Qianfang hurriedly said, "It's not just an imperial edict, it's an imperial edict!" Hu Yihuang was forced to helplessly. Before Hou Qianfang finished speaking, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Thank you for your kindness and reward." King Dong said, "That's right, hahaha!" Hu Yihuang kowtowed three times to Yang Xiuqing before saying goodbye to his house.

In the evening, Hou Qianfang finished the work and went to Wangyun Tower to submit the order. Yang Xiuqing asked: "Have you sent all the people and medicine?" "Long live back, all the things are sent!" "What do you think of today's scene?" "It's so wonderful. It's amazing!" Hou Qianfang applauded, "Long live, and took him over. Now the road is complete, and I am still afraid that he will not regret it. Since he entered the Eastern Palace, he will not be able to wash it clearly even if he jumped into the Yellow River." Yang Xiuqing said: "Anyway, you cannot be careless. People's hearts are separated from their stomachs. They do not know what to do. They must monitor him closely just in case." "Abide by the order!"

Let’s talk about King Yu. When he returned to the mansion, he seemed to have suffered a serious illness, and pierced his head on the bed, closed his eyes tightly, recalling what had just happened. He knew that Yang Xiuqing would attack when the two kings of the North Wing returned to Beijing, but he did not expect that things would come so suddenly! Now, the King of the East might sing "White Palace" to force the King of Heaven to abdicate; perhaps he would use violent means to kill the King of Heaven. It can be seen that a large-scale murder is inevitable.

At this time, Hu Yihuang seemed to have seen the bloody massacre scene, and was so scared that he had a cold sweat all over his body, and his heart was pounding. He thought that the Heavenly King was still in the dark, and the civil and military officials in the court were also confused. Hu Yu, I would risk my life to report to the Heavenly King and let the Heavenly King take action early. Make up my mind, Hu Yihuang jumped up and shouted outside: "Come here!"

A servant walked in. Hu Yihuang originally wanted him to go directly to the Heavenly King's Mansion. But when he thought: No, I must have been monitored. If I am not careful, I will mess up the matter. So he changed his mind and said to the servant: "Where is the beauty that Dong Wang admires me now?" "When the words of Qiansui have been arranged in the Taohuaxuan." "Transfer to me, let me go to Taohuaxuan after seeing the princess. Now, let them prepare to serve the bed." "Yes." The servant retreated. Hu Yihuang sorted out his clothes and walked straight to the princess' dormitory.

The next day, news came out of the Yu Palace, saying that King Yu and the Princess had a fight. The princess was angry and almost died. King Yu also threw his beloved Yu Yan, hitting and scolding others. The reason was that King Yu had accepted Chunxin and Chunrui. King Yu planned to sleep in the new house, but the princess refused, so she fought. At the time of sunrise, people saw Princess Yu disheveled her hair and covered in tears. She sat in a sedan chair with four people to complain to the Heavenly King's Mansion.

Two more days later, just as Hong Xiuquan got up, a female official ran in and started saying, "Heavenly Father has come down to earth, please go and serve him quickly." Hong Xiuquan was prepared, so he hurriedly changed his clothes, took the carriage and ran to the East Mansion.

The eastern mansion was solemn and solemn, with the sound of bells deafening. The civil and military officials in the capital knelt in the yard from the two kings in the north wing. Yang Xiuqing lay on the throne, his eyes closed, his face was pale, and he was unconscious.

King Hu Yihuang of Henan, Secretary of the East Palace Hou Qianfang, Prime Minister Meng Deen of the Chunguan, and Marquis of Xingguo Chen Chengrong were all serving each other. Hong Xiuquan knelt in front of Yang Xiuqing and shouted: "Boy Xiuquan welcomes Heavenly Father."

Yang Xiuqing shivered all over and sat up, her eyes as lightning as a sound, and she said, "Is Boy Xiuquan here?"

Hong Xiuquan knelt forward and crawled forward, kowtowed and said, "Heavenly Father is above, and the boy Xiuquan is here, and I am waiting for the teachings of Heavenly Father."

"Heavenly Father" said: "If you have nothing to do, you will not come if you have any major issues. Let me ask you, are your fourth brother making great contributions?"

Hong Xiuquan said: "The King of East has made the greatest contribution."

"Heavenly Father" said: "The great responsibility of the general is Xiuqing! He is the king of the East and has a poor talent. You should abdicate to him and let Xiuqing take charge of the kingdom of heaven."

Hong Xiuquan felt a secret hatred in his heart, but he hurriedly said, "Son, follow the will of Heavenly Father."

"Heavenly Father" said again: "Long live the Eastern King, what should the Eastern Prince?"

Hong Xiuquan had to bite the bullet and said, "Of course, it's long live, and it's long live for generations."

"Heavenly Father" nodded and said with satisfaction: "This is like my son, who is sincere and filial. Remember, both heaven support the country, those who are capable should take the lead. The affairs of the world are determined by heaven, so we should abide by them and not delay. I respect this and return to heaven for the father!"

Yang Xiuqing shivered again and turned over and fell to the ground. When everyone saw it, they hurriedly helped him up. They paused for a moment before "waking up".

Yang Xiuqing rubbed her eyes, saw Hong Xiuquan at first sight, and hurriedly turned down and bowed: "Please sit up with me, brother!"

Hong Xiuquan stood up and smiled calmly and said, "Congratulations to the fourth brother, congratulations to the fourth brother, soon you will be in heaven."

Yang Xiuqing said, "When the Heavenly Father said to me, I felt very sudden. I refused again and again, but the Heavenly Father refused."

Hong Xiuquan said, "The arrangement of Heavenly Father is wise. As the saying goes, "Those who have virtue live in it, and those who have no virtue lose it." The fourth brother is worthy of heaven and earth, and the younger brother is beyond the reach of the world. Heavenly Father's teachings are exactly what I want." After saying that, he laughed.

After the two returned to their seats, Yang Xiuqing said again: "My second brother, when will you be planning to abdicate?" Hong Xiuquan was furious in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "This is an extremely important thing. A grand abdication ceremony should be held. There are many things that must be prepared and cannot be rushed. I want to schedule the 17th of next month, on your birthday, what do you think?" Dong Wang said: "It's so good."

After the discussion, Hong Xiuquan got up and returned to the mansion. Yang Xiuqing sent him to Jinlong City before turning back. Yang Xiuqing climbed up Wangyun Tower and lay on the sofa. He couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that things were going so smoothly. Every step he took could step on the point. Now he was forced to be a long time ago. No one from the civil and military officials in the court dared to speak out. In the near future, no, next month, it will be the Emperor Long live. When he became Long live, he took over the troops of the two kings of the North Wing. Can the next Western King fight against the heavenly kings? The more he thought about it, he was so happy that he was going crazy. Wangyun Tower was filled with Yang Xiuqing's arrogant laughter for a moment.
