A young man wearing a yellow cloth coat, a red hat, and long hair draped over his shoulders stood quietly on the official roads crisscrossing Jiangnan. They were all riding horses that were extremely rare in the Jiangning generation, and those horses were standing in the mud, except for a little anxiety, there were no other major problems. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A group of people stood quietly, as if waiting for someone, after a while, the attendants behind them were a little impatient, some yawned, seemed to be addicted to smoking, looked at the left and right people did not pay attention, took a cigarette bubble out of their sleeves, some got off the horse to find food, some looked sluggish, yellow and thin, it seemed that they had not eaten for some time, the young man behind him was not good, but this young man who originally looked extremely grim did not say a word, just sighed slightly, and did not scold.

This is October 23 of the 11th year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, on the official road near the left of Jurong County, a group of people braved the wet and cold weather to wait for something on the side of the dilapidated official road, since the king of heaven Hong Xiu set the capital Tianjing, the war in the left area of the river continued, it was originally "three nights of wind and rain flooded Rong Station, a hundred miles of smoke and clouds support the emperor's pass" The splendid prosperous scene in the south of the Yangtze River has long ceased to exist, and the Jurong of the Jinling portal has lost its former demeanor, the official road is empty, only some small beasts such as foxes and wild mice probe their brains on the official road, and they are not afraid of people.

Jiangnan was rainy in winter, and it was cloudy for a long time, and it began to rain lightly, and the soldiers behind the young man held up an umbrella, turned his head to look at the scolding subordinates behind him, and said worriedly: "Lord, let the brothers find a place to hide from the rain, right?" ”

The young man nodded, and everyone behind him was relieved. They scattered one after another, but he was still standing, his expression sometimes solemn, sometimes distressed. Sometimes melancholy, his right hand is still tightly gripping the hilt of the knife at his waist, but it can be seen that his heart is not as calm as it seems.

When it rained so lightly and it was half a cup of tea, a team appeared from the east. The first one held a huge banner with the word "Li", and when the young man saw the banner, his expression was like the beginning of the collapse of ice, and he was happy, and he turned his head and hurriedly shouted: "Array!" ”

"Array array!" The soldiers who had been hiding from the rain stood up very reluctantly, but under the stares of the young man at the head, they still stood up crookedly, ready to greet them.

The young man didn't have time to wait for the group to get closer, so he whipped forward. "Big brother!"

A middle-aged man in his forties in the crowd raised his head, his eyes were shining, and he was surprised and delighted when he saw the young man riding a horse, "Brother! ”

The young man galloped off his horse, knelt on one knee, and saluted, "Li Shixian see Chung Wang Chitose!" ”

Li Xiucheng's sideburns were full of dust and sorrow, but when he saw his younger brother, he laughed. hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and helped Li Shixian up, "You guy, you are also the king." Come with me for this set! ”

When Li Shixian saw Li Xiucheng, his originally extremely happy smile retracted, and he didn't care about greeting his brother who he hadn't seen for a long time, and asked bluntly: "Brother, where are you going?" ”

Li Xiucheng was slightly stunned, "You're all here to wait for me." Still don't know where I'm going? Naturally, it's to go to Tianjing! ”

"Big brother!" Li Shixian didn't know where the anger came out, and his eyes glared at Li Xiucheng, "You shouldn't go!" ”

"What kind of bastard is this," Li Xiucheng pulled Li Shixian to a pavilion on the edge of the official road to rest, and the Huotou army who was originally waiting took the brazier, and the two of them started to take a nap on the side of the stormy road, "The King of Heaven has issued a decree to summon me to Beijing, how can I not go." ”

"Big brother!" Li Shixian shouted and said something else, "In November last year, Suzhou was lost, in December, Huzhou was lost, in March this year, Yuhuatai was lost, Wuxi, Lishui, and Liyang were lost one after another, and the eight marquis of Liyang surrendered together, this Tianjing has long been embattled, do you think the current kingdom of heaven is still the previous kingdom of heaven!" ”

Li Xiucheng was silent, staring gloomily at the burning brazier, "The situation is a little more critical, and it won't be as you said, the great cause of the kingdom of heaven will not come to that point!" ”

"Big brother!" Li Shixian shouted angrily, "It's not that I'm boasting about my family, now that the Wing King Chitose is not here, this court should be the eldest brother in charge, when the cabinet prime minister presides over the government, this great cause of the kingdom of heaven can be passed on from generation to generation, but have you seen it, what kind of goods did the king use that day, it was Meng Chengen before, this is just that, although he is a favored minister, after all, he is also a conscientious errand, but what kind of goods is Hong Renfa and Hong Renda?" It's just a compatriot with the king of heaven! There are two wine bags and rice bags, and they actually became the Fu Wang Yongwang decently! The two of them are the brothers of the king of heaven, and they should be crowned kings, but they should not interfere in the government! Li Shixian shouted, the corners of his eyes were red, "Sitting in Xiongcheng, I am afraid of the harassment of the person who shaved his head, and I dare not divide my troops to save King Yun in Liyang, poor King Yun is all over the house and sacrificed his life for the kingdom of heaven, pity his thousand old camp brothers!" ”

"What are the brothers doing when they're fighting outside!" Li Shixian's voice was like a cuckoo crying blood, extremely miserable, "Banquet guests in high-rise buildings, drunk and dreaming of death, no matter who the Hong family is, as long as the surname is Hong, all of them will be crowned kings!" Don't do, be greedy, tyrannical, and do nonsense, do anything disgusting, just can't fight! Li Shixian looked at Li Xiucheng, who was silent, "Big brother, what do you say you are doing when you go back to Tianjing?" The British king is angry out of Tianjing! Even if you have the strength of a thousand pounds, you can't pick up this burden! ”

After the Tianjing Incident, Hong Xiuquan was very suspicious of the heroes with different surnames, and named Hong Renfa as King An (later changed to King Xin), and his second brother Hong Renda as Fuyu (later changed to King Yong), and forced Shi Da away. Hong Xiuquan's nephews, brothers, and nephews are actually more than a dozen people, including a few children who have not dried up, and they are all crowned kings. In 1859, his younger brother Hong Renji came to Tianjing to seek shelter, sat on a three-stage rocket, and in less than a month, he was named the king of cadres, and the prime minister was brave and commanded the whole army. Please be naturally unconvinced, Hong Xiuquan in order to appease and balance, first Feng Chen Yu became the king of England, and then Feng Li Xiu became the king of loyalty. Subsequently, he greatly appreciated Hong Renji's suggestion and was widely knighted. Its intentions are, first, to disperse the Qing power of Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian, and strengthen the centralization of Hong Xiuquan's power, in order to change the power structure of "weak and strong" to "strong and weak"; Furthermore, in order to satisfy the desires of some people, they will share the fate with the Hongjia court. At the same time, let Hong Renfa and Hong Renda take the opportunity to betray the prince, and anyone who bribes them will be guaranteed, and Hong Xiuquan will be sealed as such. In this way, the financial resources can be broadened and the income of the Hong brothers can be increased. The kings sealed at the beginning also have names, such as Chen Kunshu as the king and Gao Yongkuan as the king, each with a series of titles. Later, there will only be a name, no more titles. After that, they no longer even had their names, and they were all called kings.

"I understand what you said, brother," Li Xiucheng listened to Li Shixian's words indifferently, and then spoke, while explaining, it seemed to be self-motivated, "Tianjing is indeed not as good as before, not to mention that when the East King was nine thousand years old in power, even when the Wing King was in Tianjing, it was better than now, and now it is indeed rampant with demons." But brother, we are kings after all! He is the king of the Celestial Empire! After enjoying the great blessing and giving the prince to the king, we should dedicate ourselves to the king and the father," Li Xiucheng stood up, his expression became serious, no longer the previous melancholy, and swept away the darkness on his face, "The king of heaven was just deceived by a few villains, and it won't take long for him to wake up, brother, as long as I enter the court to advise, the king of heaven will listen to my advice, the king of heaven is the master, he will definitely wake up, and he will reorganize the dynasty, at that time, our kingdom of heaven is a good atmosphere for the renewal of Vientiane, as long as the top and bottom are united, what has shaved his head, No devil gun team will be our opponent, at that time," a fanatical look appeared on Li Xiucheng's face, "At that time, the land of China was everywhere like Tianjing, it was a small paradise!"
