"To be honest with Mr. Sai, my brother Xiuquan does have a father in heaven. He himself calls him Heavenly Father and Emperor God. But one time when he was drinking with me, he vomited the truth after drinking. His Heavenly Father is not actually the Emperor. God, but there is another...god!"
The person who was speaking in the palace of the imperial envoys in Guilin... was none other than Jiao Liang, who claimed to be Hong Daquan, the Heavenly Virtue King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
And those who were serious and well-dressed, sitting in the hall and listening to his story, were the imperial envoy Sai Shang'a, the governor of Guangxi Zou Minghe, the dismissed member Xiang Rong who had committed a crime, and the general of the military who acted as military affairs after Xiang Rong was killed in Wulantai and was dismissed. Qin Dingsan and others were all officials who were deeply favored by the emperor and shouldered the important task of encircling and suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Of course, they were all guilty of turning defeat into victory, killing good people while taking credit for their merits, and deceiving the emperor without doing anything good. Dry.
Now we are watching the Taiping Army being defeated more and more after their "victories", and the more "defeated" they are, the stronger they are. They are on the verge of breaking out of Guangxi, entering Hunan, and rushing towards the Yangtze River. Each of these people They are all very anxious - Master Xianfeng is already a little angry and wants to send Xiang Rong's old bones to Xinjiang. Among the people present, no one has killed more than Xiang Rong, and no one has done anything to deceive the emperor. Nothing less than Xiang Rong!
If you can't come up with a decent excuse, then there will be more than one Xiangrong who should serve in front of the Xinjiang Army...
And just when these people couldn't think of a good excuse, this unexpected excuse... actually came to their doorstep!
The Heavenly Father and Emperor that the hairy thief calls... actually has a god!
Moreover, when the Heavenly Father saw Changmao in the sky and was about to be wiped out by the Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, he actually broke the "rule of heaven" and directly parachuted down the Bull Demon King... This time, it's really not because of the big guy's lack of effort. , but the Bull Demon King is difficult to fight!
But the question is... is this thing reliable?
Your Majesty...can he believe it?
In order to unify the "oral confessions", Saishan Ajin invited all the officials in Guilin City who were qualified to give secret discounts to Xianfeng to his office. They first studied the mooncake gift boxes together, and then listened to Yuanbao's story about the Bull Demon King descending from the sky. story, and finally listen to Hong Daquan’s storytelling.
"Hong Daquan, tell the truth, who is the father of your brother Hong Xiuquan in heaven?" Saishang'a suddenly interrupted Hong Daquan and asked in a more serious tone.
This sentence is not for nothing, but to remind Hong Daquan not to talk nonsense - Hong Xiuquan's heavenly father cannot be God Haotian!
Haotian God is also called Huangtian God. This title first appeared in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. At that time, he was the largest supreme god, which represented or was equal to heaven!
Since the Tang Dynasty, emperors have worshiped God Haotian when offering sacrifices to heaven!
If the Amma in Hong Xiuquan’s sky was God Haotian, wouldn’t the Qing Dynasty be doomed?
So when Yuanbao came to report to Saishang'a last night, Saitang immediately pointed out this problem and asked Yuanbao to ask Hong Daquan to correct it immediately!
I wonder if Hong Daquan has really changed?
"It's Hao..." Hong Daquan almost said it wrong, but Yuan Bao, who was looking at him, gave him a sharp look before he stopped his words abruptly, and then reorganized, "It's Tongtian Leader!"
The leader of Tongtian Cult? Sai Shanga glanced at Yuan Bao and said to himself: Did you ask him to change it according to "The Romance of the Gods"? Well, "Feng Shen" is just "Feng Shen"!
Hong Daquan saw Sai Shang'a nodding his head, so he continued: "My brother also said that there are twelve angels under the command of Tongtian Cult Leader... No, they are heavenly demons! This bull demon is one of them. First, what Mr. Yuan saw at the Reiyi Crossing was actually the original form of the bull demon. He would also turn into a human form on weekdays."
"Then what's the magic power of this bull demon?" Xiang Rong, who was about to send troops to kill demons for the Qing Dynasty, asked nervously.
Hong Daquan said: "This bull demon is the leader of the twelve angels under Tongtian Cult. Of course he has magic power! But it is in heaven. If he breaks the rules of heaven and comes to earth, he will not be able to display his magic power. At most, it will be There is only a tiny bit left, otherwise Lord Yuan would not have been able to fight him for three rounds!"
Xiang Rong glanced at Yuan Bao and saw that this boy had a prominent chest and belly, which seemed quite glorious!
However, there are two things that should be certain. One is that a demon has really descended from the sky - not only is this the moon cake box, Xiang Rong also has spies in He Chunjun, and he received the report early this morning.
Secondly, the demon's combat power was limited. Although it destroyed Hechun's artillery array, it was just a powerful general who could not be matched by a million men. It didn't seem to display any particularly powerful spells.
It seems that what Hong Daquan said is quite reliable.
Xiang Rong asked again: "Hong Daquan, do you know why this demon came to earth?"
"It should be that Master Tongtian felt that my brother was in danger, so he sent a bull demon to protect him."
Hong Daquan said it casually, but Xiang Rong took it seriously.
Since the Bull Demon King is here to protect Hong Xiuquan, it's easy to handle... As long as he stays away from Hong Xiuquan, he should be able to avoid the Bull Demon King.
Saishang'a picked up the "picture of the Bull Demon King riding a bicycle" on the desk in front of him and showed it to Hong Daquan: "Hong Daquan, look at it, is this the true form of the Bull Demon?"
"It's almost the same," Hong Daquan said, "It's missing three pairs of wings... My brother said that the demon is human-shaped, has horns, and has six wings."
Sai Shanga nodded: "Human form, horns, six wings...Master Kong!"
"Students are here."
A tall, pale-faced Shaoxing master with a somewhat shaggy gray beard immediately responded.
This master's surname is Kong and his given name is Xianglin. He is Sai Shang'a's chief master.
"You are proficient in fine brushwork, and you can draw a statue of the flying bull demon king on a bicycle with six wings!"
"Cha." Master Kong responded, took a piece of rice paper, picked up a small brush, and started sketching.
Sai Shang'a looked at everyone present again, and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that it's not that we don't work hard enough, it's that Changmao really has the help of demons... Of course, I, the Qing Dynasty, have God's blessing, and I am the Changmao thief. There are several demons in the sky, so how can they be my rivals in the Qing Dynasty? However, it is not appropriate to publicize the fact that the hairy demons are helping each other, so as not to panic people. So don’t mention this matter in the title book, just write it down separately. !」
The title book is a memorial to the emperor in public and is not "encrypted", while the zhezi refers to the memorial, which also includes secret zhezi.
Hong Xiuquan has a father in heaven and a bull demon sent from heaven. He should write a secret report and report it!
"Yuanbao!" Saishang'a said again, "You have fought with that monster for three rounds, and now you have found this box of...mooncakes. Why don't you just work harder, bring my coupons, and pledge your money to me?" Let’s take Hong Xiuquan’s brother Hong Daquan to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit!”
"Hey!" Yuanbao was overjoyed when he heard that he had the opportunity to come to Beijing to meet the saint, and he quickly gave Saishang'a a gift of a thousand gifts.
...
Beijing, Forbidden City, outside Qianqing Gate.
Four high-ranking officials with flower feathers on their heads were following a young eunuch quickly from the military aircraft office outside Longzong Gate to the Qianqing Gate! The little eunuch was walking very fast, as if he was out of the house. It's like a big deal.
The first among the four Manchu officials was a young man less than twenty years old. He was not tall, had a dark face, and small eyes. He looked quite stocky. Of course, his legs and feet were nimble enough, but there were a few more behind him. What about the elderly man? They were all pillars of the Qing Dynasty. What should I do if my foot sprains while walking so fast?
Thinking of this, the young official asked the young eunuch who was leading the way: "Xiao Anzi, why are you walking so fast? What's the emergency? Master Qi, Master Peng, and Master Mu are all old!"
The eunuch who was called "Xiao Anzi" was young, that is, in his teens, and his name was Ande Hai. He was the confidant eunuch of Emperor Xianfeng. However, he was still respectful to the young man behind him and replied with a smile on his face. "Sixth Prince, you are right in teaching me. The younger one walked a little more hastily. But when I saw the Emperor, I was afraid that he would be furious, so I thought of asking the Sixth Prince and a few military planes to go and persuade the Emperor as soon as possible."
This "Sixth Prince" is none other than Emperor Xianfeng's younger brother, Prince Gong Yi? He has not yet walked to the military aircraft, but he has an errand to travel to the inner court. He is on duty in the palace today. Andehai was entrusted with Xianfeng According to the emperor's order, he first went to find Yi?, then went to call three military planes outside Longzong Gate, and then they went to Qianqing Palace together.
Hearing Xianfeng's rage, the three elderly military ministers were a little strange.
"Mr. An, what happened?"
"That's right, Guangxi has been reporting a lot of good news these past two days!"
"Isn't that right? We just recaptured Xing'an, Quanzhou, and achieved another great victory at the Reiyi Crossing. We killed five thousand thieves!"
Prince Gong Yi? also asked: "Yes, what happened? Why did you come to me, a member of the inner court?"
Ande Hai smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know much about the adults, but I only know that the emperor is angry because of the demon thing..."
"Monster?" Qi Zhuanzao, the lead military aircraft, was shocked when he heard this.
Peng Yunzhang, who only served as Minister of Military Aircraft last year, was also confused, "Demons...are also under the control of the Military Aircraft Department?"
"In charge, everything in the Military Aircraft Department is in charge!" He became the envoy of the Minister of Military Aircraft, just like Peng Dajunji. Mu Yin was an old Manchurian, so he really knew a lot.
