Chapter 467 Who will take over
Covering a knife to save people seems to be just a plain sentence, but it is a strong signal from those who have real power. The order in Tianjing is about to begin to recover. Since the Tianjing Incident, the Beidian Army has controlled the city of Tianjing. Wei Changhui was worried about the military and civilian chaos in the city, so he began to implement very strict military control. He strictly prohibited more than three people from gathering during the day, and a curfew was imposed after dark. Moreover, several cruel and bloody killings were completed on the streets. The Beidian Army searched the remnants of the East Palace everywhere, which made the people in Tianjing panic and had no order at all.
Many people dare not go out for fear of being killed by the rioters. Therefore, many families either have no food, salt, or firewood. In short, everything is short of in the city of Tianjing.
After the Anmin of the Western King came out, the order on the street gradually began to recover. Although there were still many new troops patrolling the West Hall with live ammunition on the street, they were much better than the Beidian Army who killed everyone when they saw it. As long as you abide by the laws, they would not interfere with what you do, and would even take the initiative to help you with some small favors, and their attitude was extremely amiable. After experiencing the hellish period, such a group of angel-like soldiers suddenly appeared, which made the people of Tianjing feel great relief. Their ideas were actually very simple. Whoever could protect them and treat them well would support them.
On the day he entered the city, Xiao Yungui saw the corpse of the king. At that moment, Xiao Yungui suddenly realized that his acting skills were comparable to those of the Oscars' actors. Xiao Yungui stumbled on it, and tears burst into tears. This guy's loud voice and earth-shaking crying could definitely shock everyone present.
"Tian Wang, brother, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm not able to save my master, so I'll go to heaven with my brother..." Xiao Yungui cried for a while, then pulled out his sword and prepared to wipe his neck. Tang Erniu, who was guarding the side, would naturally not let him do what he wanted. Several Western King's personal guards came up to seize the sword. The ministers and officials on the left and right hurriedly persuaded him, and all this was naturally a vivid performance in front of many remaining generals in Tianjing.
Most of the generals and officials in Tianjing were moved by the sincere feelings of the Western King, but a few sober people were extremely despised by the Western King's actions. Why did the West Palace army delay in Xiaolingwei for so long and attack until last night? If they had attacked the city one day earlier, the Heavenly King might not have ascended to heaven.
Most people who are sober chose to bow their heads and remain silent, but there are also bloody and impulsive Erlangzi, brother-in-law of the Heavenly King, and Prime Minister Qiu Guanzheng Zhong Fangli stood up and pointed at Xiao Yungui and cursed loudly: "Western thief, you and the East Nie were originally a nest of snakes and rats. This time, they returned to Beijing to serve the king, which was nice, but the army was delayed in the Xiaoling Guard for more than 20 days and refused to send troops to fight against rebellion. Now the Northern traitor has seen the dilemma of the Heavenly King ascend to heaven. It is really disgusting to be pretended here!"
As soon as these words were said, the generals of the West Palace held the hilt of the sword and looked at him. Zhong Fangli seemed to have given up and raised his head and said loudly: "Today I will put life and death aside if I dare to scold you. You all see clearly the colleagues of the Heavenly Kingdom present. The Western thief has hidden evil intentions and watches the King of Heaven ascends to heaven. He is thinking about doing the purpose of usurping the throne. I, Zhong Fangli, will put the words here here today. The Western thief will definitely usurping the throne!"
"Hahaha..." Xiao Yungui had known for a long time that there would be a brainless king who jumped out, but he didn't expect that Zhong Fangli would reveal it in public, which could be considered willing to sacrifice himself and dare to pull the emperor off. After Xiao Yungui burst into tears, his face became solemn. He opened his eyes and stared at Zhong Fangli, and took a step and said, "What a loyal minister of the heavenly kingdom Zhong Fangli! I ask you, what crime was the East King killed? I want to be called the East evil? I have no choice but to be called the West Thief?"
Seeing Xiao Yungui approaching with evil spirit, Zhong Fangli couldn't help but take a step back. Xiao Yungui's eyes were really frightening, and he immediately took the courage and said loudly: "Long live the East evil forces to be a ruthless thing, of course it should be a traitor. But you entrusted your name to raise an army to help the king, but when you arrived at Xiaolingwei, he was reluctant to send troops. Naturally, he was a traitor who had ill-intentioned evil!" Someone took the lead and cursed, and the generals and officials in Tianjing also began to whisper, as if they thought Zhong Fangli was right.
As the saying goes, the generals of the West Palace drew their swords and glared at them. Li Xiucheng, who was beside him, could no longer help but draw his sword and pointed at Zhong Fangli and shouted loudly: "You shameless mediocre ministers are so embarrassed to speak here. I ask you, why don't you come out to scold innocent soldiers and civilians in Tianjing? Why don't you come out to preside over the justice when the North Genius slaughtered the old and young King's Mansion? Since the West King led the army outside the city, why didn't there be anyone in the city risk his life to go out to contact the city?! Huh?!"
Li Xiucheng's few questions made the generals and officials in Tianjin suddenly speechless. Yes, what were they doing during the Tianjing Incident? They were all silent? The army of King Xiwangqian arrived outside the city. No matter how strict the North Palace guarded, they still had to send dead soldiers out of the city to contact us.
Zuo Zongtang twisted his beard and watched the performance of these people without interrupting. Hong Xuanjiao also looked calm and composed, but Han Baoying burst into tears. She remembered that when the Yiwang Mansion was slaughtered that day, the Tianwang Mansion did not send troops and soldiers to rescue him. If she hadn't led the female camp to rescue him, the Xiwang's inner support would have been afraid that the Yiwang would die. However, the civil and military generals of the heavenly king who claimed to be loyal ministers in the city kept themselves from their doors to protect themselves. Now they still have the face to jump out and say that the Xiwang is not. Han Baoying felt that it was really not good to scold the Xiwang for being a Western thief for the first time.
Xiao Yungui didn't look back, waved his hand and signaled the generals of the West Palace to retreat. The generals below Li Xiucheng returned the sword to the sheath. Xiao Yungui looked around the people in Tianjing coldly and shouted loudly: "Is the East King a traitor? The Heavenly King clearly ordered the Kingdom of Heaven to voluntarily give the title of King Dong to Long Live the King of Heaven. The King of East was responsible for everything and did his best to make the great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven. Without the achievements of the King of East, could the Kingdom of Heaven be so prosperous? However, the Northern Tyrant Wei Changhui kept saying that he had been punished by the King of Heaven's decree. Why didn't I see this? Who will answer this king?"
Everyone in Tianjing was speechless. Hong Xiuquan gave Yang Xiuqing as a title of Long Live, and it was indeed a Jinkou proclamation, but the edict to kill Yang Xiuqing was a secret edict, which was not issued. Even Hong Xiuquan was afraid of Xiao Yungui, and even the Western King did not have this secret edict. At this moment, it seemed that killing the Eastern King was indeed a bit injustice and dissatisfied. Moreover, even if the Northern King finally came out, no one would believe that the edict of a murderer was true. There was also a secret edict with King Yi, but it was estimated that the secret edict had been destroyed by Shi Dakai, so he naturally would not admit that Wei Changhui, who had an irreconcilable hatred with him, was his accomplice.
Xiao Yungui was not in a hurry to distinguish his ambitions at this moment, but turned over the case of the Dongwang first. He wanted to give a reasonable explanation for the subsequent series of his actions.
At this moment, Xiao Yungui recalled Yang Xiuqing's achievements with both affection and affection. From before the Jintian Uprising to the capital of Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing did a lot of things for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. His talent really made the heavenly Kingdom stronger. These things are irrefutable and erasable.
Zhong Fangli looked ashamed and could not refute a word. He followed Xiao Yungui and said the matter of forcing the title of Long Live. Since the King of the East asked the Father's words to ask for the title of Long Live, the King of the Heavenly King made an official approval, so how could he force the title of the title? Could it be that the Father God is forcing the Heavenly King? Even so, the God of the Heavenly King is asking for the title of Long Live. What's the matter with the King of the East?
Xiao Yungui's sophistry talent is pure and Hong Yuner's true teachings. After a sophistry is spoken, Zhong Fangli has no words anymore.
Following Xiao Yungui's words, he said to himself, "We are talking about me, the Western thief, the Western thief in your mind. I also followed the Eastern King to enter the God Cult. That's..." Xiao Yungui did not hide anything, and he talked about his achievements in fighting for the Kingdom of Heaven and expanding territory without any humility. Then he said with a sharp look: "My army of Kings of Kings of Kings of Kings of Kings of Kings of Kings of Kings of Kings of Fighting to the West, but do you know that because of the chaos in the sky, the Qing Dynasty took the opportunity to conquer Xiangyin and Yueyang, and invaded Wuchang? Do you know that the King of Kings of Fighting was like my lent in food? Do you know that Yang Fuqing's army caused a mutiny in the army because of unfair treatment of his subordinates? I have been solving these things for more than 20 days! Do you want me to give up Wuchang? Do you want the soldiers of the Yidian Temple to starve to death? Do you want the soldiers of the Yang Fuqing's army to kill each other? I ask you, if you are the King, what will you do? Well?!"
There was another dead silence. The Tianjing Incident had greatly damaged the vitality of the Heavenly Kingdom. If Wuchang was lost and the soldiers killed each other again, the Heavenly Kingdom would be in a desperate situation. The person could distinguish between the less and more.
Xiao Yungui looked at Zhong Fangli without hesitation and shouted loudly: "You said that I want to usurp the throne. That king asked you, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Who will lead the kingdom of heaven to continue to dominate? Or do everyone think that no one needs to make decisions and wait for the Qing demon to come and wipe out?"
Zhong Fangli's face turned red and white. At this time, Lu Xianba walked over quickly, whispered a few words in the King's ear, and then handed over a document. Xiao Yungui immediately opened the document and shouted loudly: "After the Tianjing Incident, due to the supply cut, the city of Tianjing was short of salt, food, cloth, oil, this is the list of materials that my West Palace urgently transported from Sufu Province. This time I returned to Tianjing. I have considered a lot and prepared a lot for the people of Tianjing. I ask you, who can bear this burden, I will immediately return to Sufu to save it, and I will entrust this burden to him. I will never break my promise!"
All the generals and officials of the Heavenly Kingdom gasped, and Zhong Fangli was stunned. He calmed down and thought about it carefully. At present, no one in the Heavenly Kingdom could be more talented than the Western King to be the leader of the Heavenly Kingdom. The West Palace has always been self-sufficient and has never asked for a penny of Tianjing's food. Instead, it also supplies a lot of supplies to Tianjing every year. If the Western King leaves, no matter who has to ascend to the throne, it will not be possible for a long time.
Zhong Fangli still said loudly: "Although the Heavenly King has ascended to heaven, the young Heavenly King Hong Tianguifu is still there. Dake Ding helps the young Lord to continue to take charge of the great cause of heaven!"
When the generals of the West Palace heard this, they started to clamor, "Do you let us obey the words of a seven-year-old child?" "What achievements did Hong Tianguifu have to ascend to the throne?" "Did Hong Tianguifu be passed on to the throne after the king's will?" "Where is Hong Tianguifu?"
The people of Tianjing were silent again. The Heavenly King did not leave even a single word of fate, but it has always been a common practice for fathers to die and sons to succeed. But now Hong Tianguifu did not know where to end the chaos last night. What should the great throne of the Heavenly King? Who can take it? Who can take it?
For a moment, everyone's eyes looked at the Western King, this legendary man who stood upright like a god of war. Even the people in Tianjing looked at him, but no one paid attention to Zhong Fangli's clown-like appearance. Han Baoying was in a very complicated mood. In her mind, she originally thought that her adoptive father was the most suitable candidate, but after what she saw and heard by this man these days, she felt in her heart that her adoptive father might not be able to compare with him. At least her adoptive father would never think that while conquering Tianjing, she also considered what the people in Tianjing lacked.
When Zhong Fangli saw that everyone's eyes were focused on the Western King, he became frightened and shouted loudly: "Dear colleagues, do you really want to betray the Heavenly King? The Heavenly King is the true Lord of Heaven. Even if the Heavenly King ascends to heaven, the Young Heavenly King should take over the throne!"
Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but say lightly: "On the day when the Heavenly King ascends to heaven, Prime Minister Zhong did not think about how to do the great thing of offering sacrifices to heaven by the Heavenly King ascends to heaven. He blindly bewitched all officials and ordered the Heavenly King, and slandered the two princes of the Heavenly Kingdom one after another. It's really outrageous. Do you think this person can continue to clamor here?"
Zuo Zongtang's words were undoubtedly a counterattack. Everyone saw that Zhong Fangli had more contempt and disgust. The generals of the West Palace shouted loudly: "Kill him! Kill him!"
But the Western King stopped and said, "Today, the Heavenly King ascended to heaven and no longer killed people. I will lock them up first."
Several guards in the West Palace were about to come forward to catch people. Zhong Fangli looked miserable. He pulled out his sword from his waist and spread it across his neck, and said sternly: "Don't you do it, I will break it myself!" Then he shouted loudly to the sky: "Heavenly Father is above, and the villain cannot support the country and the country. He is ashamed of Heavenly Father, the Heavenly King, so he will come to heaven with the Heavenly King." After that, he pulled the sword in his hand hard, and blood rushed out.
Zhong Fangli was dead for a moment, and slowly knelt down on the ground, staring at Xiao Yungui like a dead look. Xiao Yungui smiled faintly and said, "You committed suicide by dying, even if you forgot the teachings of God in Heaven. Even if you fail to worship God sincerely, how can you be as if you have been in heaven? It's ridiculous..."
Zhong Fangli still heard this, and her eyes suddenly became unwilling and shocked, but then she lost her luster and her distorted face was full of anger...
