Members of Yang Xiuqing's family generally did not kneel to others. About a year ago, during the Wrangler case, Yang Xiuqing's uncle, who was the same age as Yang Xiuqing, not only did he not kneel to Huang Yukun, the Minister of Justice, but also asked Huang Yukun to obey Uncle Yang Xiuqing's orders unconditionally. (?)

When Huang Yukun slightly refused, Uncle Yang kicked over Huang Yukun's table. In the end, he even reported it to Yang Xiuqing. Yang Xiuqing immediately ordered Huang Yukun to be arrested. In the end, Huang Yukun was beaten 300 times.
So when Vézé calmly asked Chen Degui why he did not kneel to Vézé, Chen Degui flew into a rage. He jumped up, pointed at Vézé and scolded him. In fact, Chen Degui's temper was usually not so fierce. After all, he was the nephew of Yang Xiuqing, the King Of The East, not Yang Xiuqing's nephew. He had to be more restrained than the Yang family.
It was just that Chen Degui hated Vézé very much. Since he took over Zhang Yingchen's army, the young man found that he could not completely suppress this army. In the beginning, this army used the reason of "Prince Of Qi" to oppose Chen Degui's arrangement. Undoubtedly, the leader of this army was the General Staff Department. Chen Degui then completely disbanded the General Staff Department and suppressed all the staff to the bottom. To Chen Degui's surprise, when Yang Xiuqing got the news, he did not express his support for his nephew. Instead, he reprimanded Chen Degui and told him not to do so. He tried his best to "learn from the Prince Of Qi."
Although Vézé, the Prince Of Qi, was famous, everyone knew that Vézé was the youngest among the generals of the Taiping Rebellion. He was even younger than Chen Degui, who had never been put in an important position. However, this person was promoted very quickly. After making several great contributions, he actually became the first King after the establishment of Yong An. His status was higher than Chen Degui's. As a relative of the King Of The East, Chen Degui was often compared to Vézé, the "other family's child." Chen Degui naturally loathed Vézé.
Chen Degui jumped up and angrily rebuked Vézé, but Vézé did not move. The guards behind him rushed up and pressed Chen Degui to the ground. First, they tied him up with ropes. Then, Chen Degui straightened his neck and continued to curse Vézé. "Who do you think you are!" The guards tore a piece of cloth from Chen Degui's body and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that Chen Degui had been subdued, Vézé's gaze turned to Zuo Tianhou, Chen Cheng. On his body. Chen Cheng? Knowing that his life was in the hands of Vézé, he knelt down without hesitation. Because he was against the Qing dynasty and completely opposed the Manchu Qing's etiquette, the Taiping Rebellion did not practice kowtowing. After kneeling, he straightened his body and formed a 90-degree angle with his calves. He knelt in a practiced manner. Chen Cheng said, "Long live Prince Of Qi. Chen Degui is young and ignorant. I ask that Prince Of Qi spare him on account of the King Of The East."
Vézé waved his hand. Someone brought over a stool. He calmly sat down and said to Chen Cheng, "Zuo Tianhou, your words are strange. Chen Degui has no respect for his superiors and spouted nonsense. I only told him to calm down, but from what you've said, it sounds like I want his life. But from what you're saying, it sounds like I want his life. Do you really want me to kill him by saying that? Or do you not want me to kill him? "
After hearing Vézé's words, Chen Cheng panicked. Panicking, he said, "Reporting to King Qi, I have no such intentions!"
Vézé waved his hand. "Zuo Tianhou, I have no intention of killing Brother Chen. There is no need for you to put on an act here. I just want to ask you one thing. Since you are Zuo Tianhou, the Premier of the King Of The East's residence, who are the guards at the south gate? "
Chen Cheng? He immediately answered, "They are the Northern King's former subordinates. I don't know how they colluded with the Northern King!"
Vézé stared at Chen Cheng for a while. He continued to ask, "Then Zuo Tianhou, you must have mobilized these troops since you came here. What do you plan to do next?"
"Next is naturally to complain to the Heavenly Monarch and ask him to suppress this matter!" Chen Cheng's reply was somewhat shaky.
"Oh! So that's how it is, "Vézé said coldly.
Chen Cheng? He felt that Vézé's clear eyes were so sharp that they could stab into Chen Cheng's soul. Inside his soul, he almost could not help but want to tremble.
However, Vézé didn't say anything else. He said, "I feel that this matter isn't that simple. I can't control what you want to do, but these brothers have already decided to leave with me. You don't need to think about mobilizing them anymore. I will send someone to escort you to the east side of the city. You can do as you see fit. "
To Chen Cheng? With that, Vézé turned to Chen Degui, who had calmed down, and said, "Brother Chen, let me give you a piece of advice. There must be someone behind the assassination of the King Of The East. If you really want to live, don't go see the Heavenly Monarch. I'm saying this for your own good. "
After that, Wei Ze didn't care that Chen Degui started to curse again. He turned his head and said, "Send them away."
With Chen Degui and Chen Cheng? The King Of The East's subordinates were also sent away. With Chen Cheng? After the King Of The East's subordinates untied Chen Degui, he struggled to pull the cloth out of his mouth and shouted hysterically, "Let's gather our men and kill that traitor Vézé first!"
Chen Cheng? He hurriedly stopped him. "Brother Chen, let's hurry to the east side of the city and see the Heavenly Monarch first!"
Chen Degui thought about it and agreed. He had already accepted Chen Cheng. The North King killing the King Of The East was his own idea. As long as the Heavenly Monarch appeared, he would definitely be able to get rid of the North King. Of course, after dealing with the North King, it would be the Prince Of Qi and Vézé's turn.
After chasing these people away, Vézé immediately ordered, "All brothers with family members in the army, register immediately. A large group of people will bring their families back to the army camp. Also, send some troops to control the north gate. We can't leave no way out! "
These two matters were very important. The General Staff Unit immediately resumed operations. As Zhang Yingchen was guarding one side alone, his army was 10,000 men strong. This was double the number of troops under Vézé's direct command. 3,000 men immediately went to control the north gate. The brothers in the city formed a 2,000-man team and rushed to their residences to bring their families back.
Before they set off, the General Staff Unit repeatedly told them that the purpose of this operation was to bring people back. They did not want any large items or things that were inconvenient to carry. The purpose of this operation was to bring people back.
The two units moved immediately. In the afternoon, the two squads Other than the brothers in the south of the city, everyone else's families were brought back. Vézé's father-in-law's family was naturally among them. Qi Yuchang only brought a few clothes and a few thousand taels of silver that Vézé had given him as a betrothal gift.
When he saw Vézé, Qi Yuchang took out a stack of paper and said, "Prince Of Qi, I've finished the name list you asked me to write."
Just as Vézé was planning the next step, Chen Degui had already arrived at the east side of the city. At this time, the core members of the King Of The East's faction had already gathered. When Chen Degui saw his own people, he immediately yelled at Vézé for taking advantage of others. After cursing for a while, he strongly said, "This time, Vézé must have colluded with that bastard, Wei Changhui! Let's lead the troops to kill Vézé and avenge the King Of The East! "
At this time, the King Of The East's old subordinates had already gathered at the east side of the city. Among them, Yang Xiuqing's relatives made up an extremely small proportion. Most of Yang Xiuqing's relatives lived in the King Of The East's residence. The King Of The East, Wei Changhui, had killed everyone in the King Of The East's residence. Other than a few people who led the troops, Yang Xiuqing's relatives had basically been wiped out.
Chen Degui's attitude did not gain the approval of these people. Chen Degui's current position was completely due to Yang Xiuqing's arrangements. He did not have the ability to convince people at all. Compared to the people present, Chen Degui's age was too young.
In comparison, Chen Cheng, who returned with Chen Degui? Became the focus of everyone's questions. Chen Cheng? He didn't lean towards Chen Degui. He told everyone what he had seen in detail. He even told them how Chen Degui refused to kneel to Vézé and instead cursed at Vézé.
This time, everyone no longer looked at Chen Degui with trust. Some people didn't even bother to look at him.
"Zuo Tianhou, what should we do now?" Kuang Tianhou, Huang Weijiang, asked. He was Yang Xiuqing's brother-in-law. At this time, he was leading the troops to defend the east side of the city. The King Of The East's troops were gathered in his camp. Although Huang Weijiang had a high status, he wasn't a very capable person. It was all because of his status and age that he could lead such a large army. At this time, Huang Weijiang, who was supposed to lead everyone, was completely relying on Chen Cheng. Come.
Chen Cheng? "Right now, the most important thing is to take back the King Of The East residence, then eliminate Northern Prince Wei Changhui and take revenge for the King Of The East."
Huang Weijiang felt that this was very correct, but after looking around, he didn't know who to send to attack Wei Changhui. Unlike Northern Prince Wei Changhui, Prince Of Qi Vézé, and Prince Yan Qin Rigang, the trusted aides of the Yang family controlled most of the troops in the city, but they had always been used by Yang Xiuqing as guards. Apart from the fact that they could make Yang Xiuqing feel at ease, these people's abilities were far inferior to those generals who were fighting on the frontlines. Yang Xiuqing was very resourceful when it came to using people. If there was a mistake, he wouldn't let it go. Thus, in order to maintain his relatives' status, he could only use methods that didn't give them a chance to make mistakes.
While this maintained the situation of the Yang family controlling most of the troops in Tianjing City, it also made it difficult for these people to deal with generals like Wei Changhui and Vézé, who had killed their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Of course, Huang Weijiang knew that he should lead the troops to eliminate Wei Changhui, and he could even think of a way to deal with Vézé. However, when Wei Changhui was guarding Tianjing City, Huang Weijiang had seen his ability to mobilize and command. Although he hadn't seen Vézé fight, Vézé's illustrious reputation made Huang Weijiang's scalp go numb when he thought of going against Vézé.
Huang Weijiang knew very well how capable Yang Xiuqing's relatives were. Don't be fooled by Chen Degui's cheerful shouts. If he was sent to fight against Wei Ze's ten thousand strong army, Huang Weijiang believed that Chen Degui would be the one to lose.
Without Yang Xiuqing's command, Huang Weijiang had no confidence in himself at all. Huang Weijiang and Chen Cheng? He said, "Heavenly Lord Zuo, please make arrangements!"
Huang Weijiang wasn't the only one with such an attitude. The other members of the King Of The East's residence also had the same attitude. Chen Cheng? After some thought, he appointed a few generals to lead the troops. After arranging the military affairs, Chen Cheng? He said, "The most important thing now is to let the Heavenly Kings come forward. As long as the Heavenly King is willing to step forward and give the order, we can immediately suppress the situation. At that time, the King of The East might not even need to use weapons. A word from the Heavenly King would be enough to seek justice for the King of The East! I'll go to the Heavenly King's Residence right now and seek an audience with the Heavenly King. "
"Can the Heavenly King appear?" Huang Weijiang asked quickly. In the past few years, Yang Xiuqing had completely overthrown the Heavenly King, Hong Xiuquan. Huang Weijiang himself had only seen Hong Xiuquan a few times. Huang Weijiang had a vague respect for the high and mighty Hong Xiuquan, who was almost cut off from the rest of the world. Similarly, he did not have much confidence in him.
Chen Cheng? He sighed and said, "The Heavenly King hasn't been involved in politics for so long. I can't guarantee that the Heavenly King will appear. Right now, I can only do my best. It would be great if the West King could appear! "
"Then I'll have to trouble the Heavenly King!" Huang Weijiang said quickly.
Chen Cheng, who had a mission? He immediately went to the Heavenly King's residence in the south of the city. At this time, the North King, Wei Changhui, had already left the King Of The East's residence and returned to the North King's residence. The King Of The East's troops had already surrounded the North King's residence. The North King's residence was very close to the Heavenly King's residence. Wei Changhui did not foolishly place his troops in the North King's residence. He had also set up a defensive position outside the residence. This defensive position was directly next to the Heavenly King's residence.
When the King Of The East's subordinates learned that the King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, had been killed, their minds were already in chaos. They did not attack at all. No one dared to attack the North King's troops near the Heavenly King's residence, so the entire situation was in a deadlock.
Seeing Chen Cheng? When they arrived, the generals of the army immediately asked what they should do next. Facing this group of people who had lost their wits, Chen Cheng said loudly. "I'm going to see the Heavenly King now and ask him to punish the North King. As long as the Heavenly King is willing to issue an imperial edict, we will be able to avenge the King Of The East without fighting! "
Hearing this news, the generals were all overjoyed. Although the North King had killed the King Of The East, everyone knew how badly the King Of The East had bullied the North King. Although they did not side with Wei Changhui, they did not have a strong urge to fight. Hearing that there was a way to solve the problem, the generals were all happy.
Seeing the expressions of the generals, Chen Cheng said with a straight face. With a stern face, he said, "However, all of you cannot relax. If the North King escapes from Tianjing City, we will not be able to avenge the East King!"
"Of course!" The generals quickly agreed.
After giving these instructions, Chen Cheng did not bring any troops with him. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he walked alone into the heavily-guarded Heavenly King's residence. Chen Cheng? He shouted, "Chen Cheng? Seeking an audience with the Heavenly King! "
After a while, the guards of the Heavenly King's Mansion parted to make a path. The gate of the Heavenly King's Mansion also opened a crack. Under the guidance of the female official, Chen Chengguo Chen Cheng strode into the residence. First Class Chen Cheng? After entering the main gate, the guards immediately closed the gate.
Chen Cheng did not go to see Hong Xiuquan. He didn't go to Hong Xiuquan's bedchamber but went straight to the side hall. When he entered the side hall, he saw two people waiting inside. One was the North King, Wei Changhui, and the other was the King of Yan, Qin Rigang.
Qin Rigang and Chen Cheng? They had been through life and death together. He immediately asked, "Zuo Tianhou, what's the situation outside?"
Chen Cheng? No longer as calm as before, he replied with a face full of hatred, "That bastard Vézé is not dead! Not only is he not dead, but he also seized Zhang Yingchen's troops and is now guarding the north gate. "
"What? Are you sure about this? " Qin Rigang had not expected the situation to develop to this point. Zhang Yingchen's troops used to be Vézé's subordinates, but they had been under the control of the King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, for a few months. Qin Rigang had never expected that Yang Xiuqing would die and that Vézé would retake control of the troops.
There was no need to pretend anymore. Chen Cheng? Gritting his teeth, he said fiercely, "When Vézé retook control of the troops, I was in Zhang Yingchen's troops. I'm sure of it! "
After venting his anger, Chen Cheng continued. He continued, "Furthermore, I'm afraid that Wei Ze already knows something. I see that he isn't anxious or impatient, so he should already have a plan!"
