Chen Cheng? He returned to the heavenly monarch's residence in a daze, feeling both sad and hopeful. He had never been a general who had always led troops. After conquering Tianjing City, he had been a civil official in the capital. He was not used to killing thousands of people, not to mention killing his former brothers. A sense of sorrow surged uncontrollably into his heart.
But at this moment, above this sadness was a kind of joy and relaxation. For the past few years, the King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, who was in charge of the affairs of the Heavenly State remotely controlled the various armies, including Chen Chengxu. The brothers of the Inner Kingdom made things difficult for him, attacked him, and even tortured and killed him. He felt a deep sense of despair. Wait for Chen Cheng? After confirming that Yang Xiuqing's ultimate goal was to become the emperor and replace the Heavenly King. He resolutely chose his own position and was loyal to the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, who had not committed any perverse acts.
When the King Of The East had absolute control over Tianjing City and the King Of The East's residence had complete control over Tianjing City, it was an extremely difficult task to get rid of the great rebel, the King Of The East, for the Heavenly King. Chen Cheng? They were alone and did not have any allies in Tianjing City. In the beginning, Chen Cheng? He had privately told the Heavenly King that the King Of The East wanted to rebel, but the Heavenly King didn't believe him.
Fortunately, the Heavenly King was not completely unresponsive. He had once sent a female official to the King Of The East's residence to warn the ministers. The King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, responded by killing Ceng Shuiyuan and the other generals who refused to take a stand. Immediately after, the King Of The East wanted to confer the title of 'Long Live Emperor'. His intentions were clear. Wait for Chen Cheng? After telling the Heavenly King about Vézé's stance, the Heavenly King finally made up his mind to eliminate the King Of The East.
However, there were no Heavenly King allies in Tianjing City. Chen Cheng again? He contacted many parties, including the strategy to chase the North King and the King of Yan out of Tianjing City before they were conferred the title of 'Long Live', as well as the plan to summon Vézé back to Tianjing City. His painstaking efforts had finally paid off. The King Of The East, the King Of The East's residence, and the King Of The East's army had all been purged. After getting rid of these people, the rest were all junior officers. They are easy to deal with. Chen Cheng? He just had to order them to return to the barracks.
Chen Cheng now? The greatest feeling in his heart was relief. He, the Heavenly King, and the others were finally safe. Although many of the mid-level officers didn't have the intention to rebel, there were less than five thousand soldiers in Tianjing City who listened to the commands of the Heavenly King and the North King. The King Of The East's army had more than 30,000 men. A Pawn Captain would command a hundred-man team, and five or six Pawn Captains would work together to form a team of five to six hundred men. If these five or six hundred people were to raise their arms and call out, who knew how many people would respond from the tens of thousands of soldiers? At that time, a mere five thousand people wouldn't be able to stop them. For the Heavenly King, for the Heavenly Kingdom, Chen Cheng? He could only sacrifice those mid-level officers.
He entered the room where he had been plotting with North King Wei Changhui and Prince Yan Qin Rigang, but they weren't there. Only a female official was inside. Chen Cheng? He was stunned at first, but then he remembered that Qin Rigang had secretly returned to the North King Residence to command the massacre of the King Of The East's residence. He was about to sit down when the female official said, "Zuo Tianhou, the Heavenly King has ordered you to see him."
He followed the female official to the back of the Heavenly King's palace. Chen Cheng? He saw Hong Xiuquan and North King Wei Changhui sitting together. Next to the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan was Zhang Yingchen. Hong Xiuquan and Wei Changhui also looked as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden. When they saw Chen Cheng, Wei Changhui smiled and said, "Zuo Tianhou, we originally thought that we would die when we went to kill Yang Xiuqing. Who would have thought that with God's blessing, it would go so smoothly? We can finally relax now that we have gotten rid of Yang Xiuqing's remaining followers! "
Chen Cheng? He had run the most and exhausted the most energy. He nodded tiredly and bowed to Hong Xiuquan. "Congratulations, Heavenly King. You have finally gotten rid of Yang Xiuqing, the King Of The East's residence, and Yang Xiuqing's remaining followers. No one will dare to plot against the Heavenly King's empire anymore! "
Only Chen Cheng had been around for the past few days? Only then could he see Hong Xiuquan freely. In the past, every time he saw Hong Xiuquan, he would only see Hong Xiuquan's solemn expression. After learning that the operation to get rid of Yang Xiuqing and Yang Xiuqing's followers had finally succeeded, Hong Xiuquan smiled. It was a smile of relief. With Yang Xiuqing's strength and Yang Xiuqing's control over Tianjing City, every step of the operation that seemed easy was actually treading on thin ice. If there was a single mistake and the plan was discovered, then not only Wei Changhui, Qin Rigang, and Chen Cheng's lives would be in danger. Even Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan would probably lose his life on the spot. This was dancing on the tip of a knife, and there was no room for error.
However, Hong Xiuquan's happiness didn't last long. Before the smile on his face could completely fade, his eyes turned red and tears actually flowed down. Hong Xiuquan sobbed a few times and choked out, "We are all brothers, so I have to say a few words that only we brothers can say. If it wasn't for the King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, we definitely wouldn't have gotten to where we are today. However, we didn't expect the King Of The East to be obsessed and plot a rebellion. If it wasn't for this, we definitely wouldn't have brandished our blades against our brothers! "
"Hmph!" The North King, Wei Changhui, was obviously not moved by these words. As Yang Xiuqing's "brother," he had suffered enough at the hands of this leader. In total, Wei Changhui had been beaten nearly a thousand times by the leader, Yang Xiuqing. Even if his brain couldn't remember, the scar on his butt would repeatedly remind Wei Changhui.
Chen Cheng? He hadn't been punished by Yang Xiuqing much. In addition, he worked in the King Of The East's residence, so he knew how difficult it was to run such a large Heavenly State. From the Jintian Uprising until now, the Taiping army had faced the danger of being destroyed many times. The King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, who was at the helm, led everyone step by step from Jintian to where they were today. They built the current Heavenly State in Tianjing City, thousands of miles away from their hometown in Guangxi.
Chen Cheng? He could understand Hong Xiuquan's sadness, but Chen Cheng? He didn't feel the slightest bit of regret for participating in the killing of Yang Xiuqing. If Hong Xiuquan hadn't killed Yang Xiuqing, it wouldn't have been long before Yang Xiuqing overthrew Hong Xiuquan. At that time, would Yang Xiuqing be lenient and spare Hong Xiuquan's life? From Yang Xiuqing's merciless killing of his own brothers, Chen Cheng? He didn't have any confidence.
Seeing Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan cry, Zuo Tianhou, Chen Cheng, looked distressed. Wei Changhui was very unhappy in his heart. However, he didn't want to blame the two of them. Wei Changhui let out a long sigh and said loudly, "We succeeded in suppressing the rebels. This is heaven's will! Rebels and traitors will meet such a fate! Zuo Tianhou, go and inform the troops in the city to return to camp. Zuo Tianhou, have you done what I told you? "
"What is it?" Chen Cheng asked. At this moment, thousands of thoughts and emotions flashed through his mind. He couldn't remember what Wei Changhui was talking about.
Wei Changhui said, "I gave you a list of names and told you to leave some people alive. Did you help me inform them? "
Chen Cheng? Hearing this, he finally understood and answered, "I've already sent those people to guard the city gates."
"Alright, we'll split up now. You go and tell the soldiers to return to camp. I'll go see those people now. " With that, Wei Changhui turned to Hong Xiuquan and said, "Heavenly King, I still need you to lend me some clothes and female officials!"
"Why didn't you kill those people?" Hong Xiuquan asked with a bit of surprise.
Wei Changhui answered straightforwardly, "Those people have followed me before and have always been loyal. As long as I personally tell them that I'm eliminating the rebels this time, they will definitely come to their senses and follow me. "
Chen Cheng? Wei Changhui's heart shook when he heard this. But Chen Cheng? He didn't expect this. Chen Cheng? He also knew that some officers might not be willing to support the King Of The East. At least after the King Of The East was destroyed, they wouldn't choose to continue serving the King Of The East. However, he was worried that these people weren't as reliable as he thought, so he could only let them die. He didn't expect Wei Changhui to be so bold as to give Chen Cheng? Chen Cheng was given a list of names? He spared some people.
He blamed Wei Changhui for being too bold. Chen Cheng? He also regretted not thinking of this at the time and letting so many people be killed for nothing.
After hearing Wei Changhui's words, Hong Xiuquan also frowned. "If there are brothers who refuse to follow Yang Xiuqing in rebellion but have no choice but to listen to Yang Xiuqing's orders, we still have to let them go. Zuo Tianhou, did you choose these people properly? "
"This … I didn't have time to think about this these past few days …" Chen Cheng tried to explain. Chen Cheng tried to explain.
"Sigh!" Hong Xiuquan sighed, his tone rather dissatisfied.
However, at this point, there was nothing more to say. The tens of thousands of soldiers in Tianjing City were still surrounding the North Prince's residence. The most important thing now was to get the troops back to the barracks. Without troops on the streets, Wei Changhui could quickly convince those loyal to the Heavenly King. Chen Cheng? He and Wei Changhui split up and left the Heavenly King's residence one after another.
At this time, Tianjing City had been tormented for a few days, and the troops were rather tired. After receiving the news that the Heavenly King had given the order to deal with the North Prince, the troops all relaxed. Chen Cheng? After ordering the troops to return to the barracks, many troops became suspicious after hearing the explosions and yells from afar. There wasn't even a commander in the troops, and two majors were only responsible for commanding 25 people. With so many majors in the troops, no one could command anyone else. Some troops immediately obeyed the order and retreated to the barracks. Those who didn't want to leave saw that their troops had all left. They could only follow the troops back to the barracks.
When the sky turned dark, there were no more troops on the streets of Tianjing City. At this time, Wei Changhui had already changed into the clothes of the Heavenly King's imperial bodyguard. He left the Heavenly King's residence with the female official and headed towards the barracks of the generals he trusted.
When the generals saw Wei Changhui suddenly appear, they were initially shocked. However, just as Wei Changhui had thought, these people had followed him before, so they didn't immediately want to arrest Wei Changhui. After all, the King Of The East had already been killed, and the mountain that had once pressed down on their heads no longer existed.
Next, they heard Wei Changhui say that he had been ordered by the Heavenly King to kill the traitor Yang Xiuqing, and that he had already killed Yang Xiuqing's henchmen in the King Of The East's residence. This time, the generals were like toads that had been struck by lightning, and they were all stunned. The news that the King Of The East had been conferred the title of 'Emperor of The East' had been made public, and the generals all knew what would happen after the King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, had been conferred the title of Emperor of The East. The news that Yang Xiuqing had killed Ceng Shuiyuan and the others on the charge of "not reporting" had already spread throughout Tianjing City. There had also been rumors in Tianjing City that Yang Xiuqing had tried to kill Hong Xiuquan and become independent.
Now that the North King, Wei Changhui, had personally said that he had been ordered by the Heavenly King to kill the traitor, the generals believed it. What else could they do but believe it? The generals also had no intention of killing the Heavenly King, Hong Xiuquan, to become independent. After the important officials in the King Of The East's residence entered the Heavenly King's residence, there was no more news. In the end, these generals all expressed their willingness to accept the command of the Heavenly King, Hong Xiuquan. Of course, they were also willing to obey the orders of the North King, Wei Changhui.
At midnight, Wei Changhui went to all the generals that he had personally called out and convinced them to stay in the barracks and not go anywhere.
Naturally, the generals were unwilling to leave their barracks. The situation had changed so quickly that they didn't dare to leave the barracks at will. The King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, and the important officials in the King Of The East's residence had all been killed. They were just ordinary generals. Wouldn't it be courting death if they wandered around now?
When Wei Changhui was preparing to return to the North King's residence, he received a piece of news. Some unidentified people were continuously persuading the guards at the north gate to sneak out of Tianjing City. Looking at the direction in which they were moving, they were probably heading towards Qixia Mountain, where the Prince Of Qi, Vézé, was stationed.
