Qixie and Xiaoshan had complicated expressions, and they both gestured towards Tang Sancheng. Tang Sancheng quickly shut his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Where were you just now?"
"It's a long story. These two are in the same group as the people inside." Xiao Shan pointed at Liangchen Meiying who was subdued by Qixie and said, "I saw them walking out of that secret room."
Hearing the word "secret room", Liangchen Meijing's face turned green, especially Liangchen, who retorted loudly: "You people, you went to other people's places for no reason, but you are so confident!"
"You are the ones who are being arrogant, right?" Xiao Shan crossed his arms angrily: "There must be something wrong with the people living underground. Also, it is not normal to be so cautious about outsiders!"
Liangchen and Meijing looked at each other, and the corners of the lips of the pair of girls suddenly rose. Bai Yi saw this and said: "Hurry up and cover their mouths!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. The two of them made a melodious sound. It was very gentle at first, and then suddenly became sharp. It was an alarm! At this time, Tang Sancheng heard many footsteps and rushed towards here: "Oh no, they're afraid
I informed my companions, and now they are all coming this way."
"Don't be afraid, just face it head on." Bai Yi was much calmer.
When he spoke, more than ten people had already come up and surrounded Bai Yi and the others. Seeing this situation, Qixie did not let go of the two girls in his hands, as if they were taking them as hostages. Liangchen said: "These are you."
Those who forced us said that we were living underground and there were ghosts, but now it’s okay, you’re the one who has the ghosts.”
The dozen or so people all had turbans on their heads and were holding spears in their hands. Looking at the crowd, Bai Yi looked at their clothes and determined that they were from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. "Are you descendants of the Heavenly Kingdom? Call that person
The painting seller is here, I have something to ask him!"
Bai Yi said the identity of those people, which made them a little panic. At this moment, a voice came over: "The King of Heaven will let outsiders in. This is all my fault. I am willing to be punished."
King of Heaven? Bai Yi took a deep breath. King of Heaven Hong Xiuquan died a long time ago. The only ones who can be called Heavenly Kings are probably his sons. Among these sons, the eldest son Hong Tianzeng was born in 1852-1853.
In 1999, the Taiping Army was marching from Yong'an, Guangxi to Nanjing. After arriving in Nanjing, Hong Xiuquan ordered that the names of princes must be avoided, so all those in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with the surname Zeng had to change their surname to Yong. For example, the 70-year-old veteran general Zeng Tianyang,
The name was changed to Yong Tianyang; the great ministers Zeng Shuiyuan and Zeng Jinfa also became Yong Shuiyuan and Yong Jinfa. Although there is no specific documentary evidence, but based on this inference, Zeng Guofan, the great enemy of the Taiping Army at that time, the leader of the Hunan Army, could only be called Yong Shuiyuan.
Guo Fan. However, Hong Tianzeng died soon after, and all the people named Zeng breathed a sigh of relief: they could show their true colors again.
The next two sons, Hong Tianguang and Hong Tianming, were both born in the fourth year of Jiayin, that is, 1854. Among them, Hong Tianming was born on September 24, and Hong Tianguang is unknown. Both of them were commoners, and Hong Tianguang's
His mother is the twelfth wife, Chen, and Hong Tianming’s mother is his nineteenth wife, Wu.
Like their elder brother, the two of them had never left the palace. Hong Tianguang lived in the Golden Dragon Hall, and Hong Tianming lived under the young master's chamber in the Left Hall. Around 1858, the two were named King Guang and King Ming. In 1861, Hong
The new "Taiping Etiquette" drafted by Renwang Qian stipulated that the two people should not be called Qiansui, but Yongsui. The words Guang and Ming should also be avoided, so the famous Taiping Army general Deng Guangming had to change his name to Deng Yuming, and Li Xiucheng's relative
The younger brother Li Mingcheng had to be called Li Xumingcheng. Because the two children were named "Tianguang, Tianming", the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had to live without light for three years.
On the day Tianjing City was breached, Hong Tianguang and Hong Tianming had been following their brother Hong Tianguifu, but when they broke out, Li Xiucheng said that he could only take the young master with him, so the two were left where they were. Some people said that they escaped with their mother Lai Shi
They arrived in Nanyang, but there is no evidence. The most likely outcome is probably to die in the rebellion. After all, they have no life experience like Hong Tianguifu, and they are even younger, only 10 years old.
Hong Xiuquan's youngest son was originally named Hong Tianyou, but after the Tianjing Incident, Hong Xiuquan had a whim after killing Yang Xiuqing. While "rehabilitating" Yang Xiuqing, he adopted Hong Tianyou to Yang Xiuqing and called him "nephew" - half son.
Half nephew, he was named the Young East King, making this "nephew" who was less than 10 years old, the first official of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This first official did not leave any deeds for record. After the fall of Tianjing
, and his message was interrupted.
In addition, there is the young king. Five days after the death of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, the young king Hong Tianguifu took over the government affairs. Hong Tianguifu had no warmth in family life in his short life, and finally fell into the hands of the Qing army. This person can be eliminated.
After all, who could this person be called the King of Heaven? Bai Yi wanted to surprise the other party, so he quickly calculated in his mind, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Is it Hong Tianyou?"
As soon as Hong Tianyou came out, everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to react. Bai Yi knew that he was right, but he immediately thought of another question. If it was Hong Tianyou, how old should he be this year? Is it right at this age?
Come on, Bai Yi said: "It's really a shame that the descendants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom actually live here."
These words were very sympathetic and seemed to hit their sore spots. The hands that were originally holding the spears lowered their hands. The boss walked up to Bai Yi and said, "Please, leave here as a child."
I haven’t found this place yet. If you want money, I can give you any amount.”
In fact, Bai Yi and others don't know why Uncle San asked them to check the painting. Since they followed the painting and found it here, the mystery must be here. How can they give up so easily? Bai Yi smiled bitterly: "You
In order to prepare those materials, you did not hesitate to sell Hong Xuanjiao's paintings. It shows that you are not financially well-off, so how can you give me as much as you want?"
The boss was startled, and suddenly he squatted down with his head in his hands, looking in pain. Tang Sancheng said, "We don't have any bad intentions here. We might be able to help you. Can you let us meet your king?"
"You guys seem to know the kingdom of heaven very well." A voice came out: "When you came here, there was only one way, and that was to let you die. But we have not harmed people for a long time, and you have no ill intentions. If
If we let you out, we will not be able to live in peace, but what should we do?"
"You don't need to worry about this." Bai Yi said: "The origin of my generation is probably much stranger than yours. This is why we are not surprised to see you. We were just ordered to check the origin of that painting.
As long as we know the answer, we will leave naturally and never disturb each other again."
"Painting?" The shop owner was startled: "That painting was originally in our place. In terms of its origin, there is nothing special about it."
The voice rang again: "Follow me for now."
Those people dispersed, and Bai Yi and the others finally saw the owner of the voice. They couldn't help but be surprised. This man was as thin as dry wood, but his eyes were very bright. He was about the same height as Bai Yi, and he had jet black hair. This was their "King of Heaven"
"?Bai Yi and the other five exchanged glances, and decided to leave with the King of Heaven, trailing behind him. Tang Sancheng suddenly realized that something was wrong with the King of Heaven. He poked Qixie and motioned Qixie to look at the King of Heaven's waist. The waist of the Heavenly King looked like
It's like a swimming ring. If you're a fat man and have a lot of flesh on your waist, it doesn't matter if this happens. But this King of Heaven is skinny, and the protruding piece on his waist is a bit abrupt.
The passage finally connected a long row of houses, which were built low but very neatly. The King of Heaven led them to the innermost part. The doors of the rooms were slightly different in color, which was obviously used to distinguish the classes.
, the king's room is very simple, with a stone bed, a set of stone tables and chairs, and nothing else. Thinking of his status as the king, it seems a bit miserable.
The shop owner had been following Tian Wang, and he obviously had a high status here. He closed the door and the space in the room seemed cramped. Tian Wang looked a little sad, as if he didn't know what to do with them.
"Where is the painting?" the shop owner said suddenly.
"I didn't bring the painting, but I do remember the details. The character in the painting is Hong Xuanjiao." Bai Yi said, "He was bending down to look for something on the battlefield. The person who painted this painting should have been there.
I have witnessed it with my own eyes. Also, this painting is inlaid with jewelry. If it is not important, why is it inlaid with jewelry? As far as we know, Hong Xuanjiao did not die. He later went into exile abroad and became a medical staff abroad.
, live a long life and then die.”
"What?" The king was stunned, unable to hide the excitement on his face: "She wasn't dead at that time? Then the jade seal..."
When Bai Yi heard the word "Jade Seal", an idea flashed in his mind: "It turns out she is looking for the Jade Seal of Heaven!"
Bai Yi came up with the answer in a hurry, which made the King of Heaven very frightened and a little excited: "So you also know about the Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Heaven?"
"The jade seal of the Kingdom of Heaven has long been lost. The real jade seal should be eight inches square. This is recorded in relevant materials. Another point is that Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, once issued an edict to rename the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the Kingdom of God, and officially decreed that the seals must be
According to the change of the imperial edict, the golden seal and edict seal of Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven. On the border of the seal, the dragons in the pattern are head down and tail upward, and the word "tian" strictly follows the taboo regulations in the imperial edict of heaven. The horizontal strokes on it are bigger than
The bottom one is long.”
As Bai Yi spoke, he saw the King's face getting redder and redder, and he continued: "At that time, during the fierce battle between the Taiping Army and the Qing Army, they discovered that the mark of the jade seal was very easy to be forged by the enemy. Therefore, regardless of whether it was stamped
When using the edict of the Heavenly King's seal or the orders of other kings, another secret code will be added when using the seal, and it is very emphasized that the person concerned must write it in his own hand. In his autobiography, Li Xiucheng said, "The Ten Surrenders"
It was mentioned in Yao': I asked Zhongtang to issue an edict to me and escort me with the document. If there is a document, there is no need to seal it. If the person who uses the seal comes to my camp, the generals will not believe it. He is sure that Zhongtang made it himself.
To seduce him, he will not obey me if he does not have a secret number written by me in heaven."
