"Vézé has ulterior motives! There must be a trap in this! "Wei Changhui said angrily." This traitor doesn't admit his guilt and instead wants us to let him go! Is he possessed by a demon? "
This was anger that stemmed from his sense of justice. As one of the key members of this operation to kill the traitor Yang Xiuqing, Wei Changhui firmly believed in the justice of his actions. At least from Wei Changhui's point of view, Chen Cheng, who was in charge of the internal affairs of the King Of The East's residence? Qin Rigang, who carried out the battle, was under his command. Wei Changhui was the greatest hero in this operation.
After toppling the mountain of Yang Xiuqing that was pressing down on the Heavenly State, driven by the strong sense of justice brought about by his stand, Wei Changhui's reaction to Wei Ze's existence was especially strong.
What about Hong Xiuquan and Chen Cheng? He fell into a momentary silence. Chen Cheng? He lowered his gaze. Although he heard Wei Changhui's shout, he turned a deaf ear to it. The news that Vézé sent this time was far beyond what Chen Cheng had expected. Beyond my imagination. He had not interacted much with Vézé in the past. He had always thought that Vézé was a general who was very good at fighting, but not very opinionated. Especially after Vézé had obediently handed over Anhui, Chen Chengguang's attitude had changed. Everyone's opinion of Vézé fell. When he asked Vézé for Yang Xiuqing's opinion on Yang Xiuqing's conferment, Chen Chengguang asked for Vézé's opinion. What he saw was a man who was completely attached to Yang Xiuqing and obsessed with power.
According to common sense, such people were easily blinded by greed. The ministers of the King Of The East were no doubt like this. That was why they were eliminated by such a simple scheme. However, what Wei Ze had displayed in this incident in Tianjing was an unusual cautiousness, as well as a shocking decisiveness.
"Could it be that Vézé already predicted this?" He could not help but ask himself. Everything he had seen so far could only prove this fact. Chen Cheng? He had tried to guess Vézé's thoughts several times, but each time, he had failed. In particular, Vézé's clean exit from Tianjing City wasn't something a person who was trying to fight for power would do.
After the death of the King Of The East, Chen Cheng Guofeng, He had met Vézé twice. Those two meetings made Chen Cheng? He had an ominous feeling. Vézé seemed to know something, to have seen through something. If Vézé was not a person who blindly pursued power, there was only one explanation for Vézé's seemingly contradictory behavior. Vézé had expected things to turn out this way. He avoided all the traps and calmly waited for things to develop.
So what was Vézé waiting for so calmly? Could this be the opportunity that he mentioned not long ago to break away from the Taiping Rebellion? Chen Cheng? He had no choice but to come to this conclusion.
Chen Cheng Guofeng, who was able to get rid of the King Of The East and Yang Xiuqing? Even if he did not admit that he was not a fan of scheming, at least he had the ability to design and see through them. Once he opened up his mind, Chen Cheng Guofeng felt enlightened. His mind was clear. Vézé, who originally felt that he could not see through, now saw clearly.
With Yang Xiuqing's ruthlessness, Vézé was the only one who had not been directly humiliated. Yang Xiuqing's criticism of Vézé was, at most, "childish", and after taking away one of Vézé's troops, he let Vézé be slammed at Yang Xiuqing's door.
Now that he thought about it, so many smart, quick-witted people who understood the ways of the world were exposed and severely punished when they tried to play tricks in front of Yang Xiuqing. On the contrary, after Vézé occupied Anhui, he immediately provided Tianjing with provisions. During the Northern Expedition, he told Yang Xiuqing that the main objective was to save the troops. Vézé never needed Yang Xiuqing to say a word before he took the initiative to fulfill Yang Xiuqing's strategic needs.
Chen Cheng? Now he understood that the reason why Yang Xiuqing trusted Vézé so much was because Vézé was selfless. He never used what he had in his hands to threaten Yang Xiuqing. Yang Xiuqing could easily toy with the other brothers of the Heavenly State because they wanted to use their achievements to exchange for power and status from Yang Xiuqing. Since they had something to ask of Yang Xiuqing, they naturally had to be controlled by Yang Xiuqing. If they wanted power, they naturally had to bow to Yang Xiuqing's power.
As a master of playing with power, Yang Xiuqing not only established the Eastern Palace Minister system to suppress the central government of the Taiping Rebellion, but he also needed a talent like Vézé to balance the Eastern Palace Minister system and the brothers of the Heavenly State. First of all, Yang Xiuqing needed a person like Vézé in his hands. When Vézé demonstrated his ability and did not use his ability to threaten Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing would give Vézé so much power.
It was proven that, other than the fact that Yang Xiuqing did not expect that he would be killed so suddenly, his arrangement of power was indeed very successful. Yang Xiuqing never allowed Vézé to return to the capital and always let him be assigned to other posts. This was to prevent Vézé from having any connections and influence in the central government of the Heavenly State. Chen Cheng? He had always used this as the basis of his plan. He instigated the people in the King Of The East Residence to oppose Vézé and ostracize Vézé.
Even in such a disadvantageous situation, Vézé did not have no chance. If he really showed his loyalty to Yang Xiuqing, after Yang Xiuqing was killed and Vézé controlled ten thousand elite soldiers, as long as Vézé raised his arm and shouted, "First kill the King of The North and inherit the position of King Of The East!", Wei Changhui and the others would have been dead by now.
Obviously, Vézé did not do this. He only followed the expectations and desires of others and left Tianjing City. Now, Vézé had obtained complete freedom of action. As the number one general under the King Of The East, now that the King Of The East was killed and the King Of The East Residence was slaughtered, Vézé had sufficient reason to leave the Taiping Rebellion. Of course, the brothers in the Heavenly State could not like Vézé, but they could accept the reason why Vézé left the Taiping Rebellion. If Vézé did not leave now, would the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the North King Wei Changhui, who had killed thousands of people, let Vézé go?
Now that Yang Xiuqing's forces had been wiped out, no one in the King Of The East Residence could compare to Vézé. If someone were to accuse Vézé of participating in the rebellion, Vézé could use the excuse that he had always been on an assignment and had never attacked Tianjing City as an excuse. "Vézé was forced to leave by the current situation!"
Chen Cheng? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He suddenly realized that he was dealing with an extremely sinister person. The most sinister thing about Vézé was that everything he did seemed to be caused by others. Vézé was only forced to accept the truth.
The only way to deal with the sinister person Vézé was to mobilize the entire Taiping Rebellion to eliminate him. However, this was something that the Heavenly King could not do. After the King Of The East Yang Xiuqing was killed, the Taiping Rebellion was plunged into unprecedented chaos. Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan could not even control Tianjing City, let alone command the army to eliminate Vézé.
Wing King Shi Dakai was still on his way back to Tianjing City. According to the agreement, Wing King Shi Dakai would only bring 2,000 bodyguards back to Tianjing City. This force was not enough to fight against Vézé. Anhui, which was the closest to Tianjing City, had originally been Vézé's territory. The three Prime Ministers, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, and Yoshibuwon, who were now in control of Anhui, were old subordinates of the West King. It was hard to predict how they would react to the killing of the King Of The East. They had been rescued by Vézé from the north. Asking them to kill Vézé now would be a fool's dream.
The other problem was raised by Vézé not long ago. The Heavenly King had killed the King Of The East, so he had to answer to all the brothers in Heavenly State. The Heavenly King had said that the King Of The East had rebelled, but the truth was that the Heavenly King had killed the King Of The East and the thousands of King Of The East's subordinates. How many brothers in Heavenly State could truly agree that the King Of The East had rebelled and accept the command of Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan wholeheartedly? Chen Cheng? He did not have much confidence.
If the Heavenly King ordered all the armies in Heavenly State to eliminate Vézé, who wanted to leave Heavenly State, what would the brothers in Heavenly State think? Most of the brothers in Heavenly State would oppose the Heavenly King's action to eliminate the root of the problem. Even if they did not oppose the Heavenly King, how many of them were willing to fight to the death with the number one general of Heavenly State, Vézé? Chen Cheng? Not optimistic at all.
Judging the situation, Chen Cheng? He raised his head and said, "Heavenly King, why don't we let Vézé take these people away! It will not be easy for us to get along if we leave them in Heavenly State! "
Hong Xiuquan's expression did not change, but Chen Cheng, who knew Hong Xiuquan very well, could tell that Hong Xiuquan agreed with him. Chen Cheng, who knew Hong Xiuquan very well, could tell that Hong Xiuquan agreed with this view. Vézé was right. Since these people could not be left alive, and killing them would not be able to answer to the brothers in Heavenly State, they might as well let Vézé take them away.
"We must not let Vézé take these people away!" Without waiting for Hong Xiuquan to express his stance, the North King, Wei Changhui, shouted, "The people in Vézé's army have no grudge against us. If we can kill Vézé, his subordinates will immediately be in chaos. At that time, we might even be able to take the soldiers in our hands. But these people in Tianjing City hate us to the core. If we let Vézé take them away, they will not say anything good about us in Vézé's army. Naturally, they will say that we are in the wrong and that we deserve to die! If we can't get rid of the roots, then we can only wait for them to take revenge! "
"What does the North King plan to do?" Chen Cheng asked casually.
Wei Changhui said fiercely, "Since Vézé wants these people, we will send some brothers to pretend to be the King Of The East's subordinates and infiltrate Vézé's army. We will find a chance to kill Vézé. As for the remaining members of the King Of The East's faction, we will kill them all! That will prevent future trouble! "
"You can't!" Chen Cheng immediately objected.
"Why not?!" Wei Changhui angrily rebuked.
Faced with such an angry rebuke, Chen Cheng He was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he felt that the North King Wei Changhui in front of him had a hint of Yang Xiuqing.
After scolding Chen Chengxiu, Wei Changhui turned to Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. "Heavenly King! We don't have to worry about Vézé right now. Since that bastard Vézé knows that if he dares to attack Tianjing City, he will definitely die a tragic death, then we should act quickly! Make me the Left Assistant Military Advisor and announce to the Heavenly State that Yang Xiuqing is plotting a rebellion. Give the order to kill him and his henchmen. I immediately sent someone to infiltrate Vézé's army to kill Vézé. At the same time, he would kill all of Yang Xiuqing's henchmen in Tianjing City! This way, the Heavenly State brothers would also know what had happened in Tianjing City! They would definitely obey the Heavenly King's orders. Heavenly King, please give the order! "
Hearing this, Chen Cheng was stunned. He was completely dumbfounded. The Left Assistant Military Advisor was the highest official in Heavenly State. After obtaining this position, Wei Changhui replaced Yang Xiuqing. Could this be Wei Changhui's real reason for killing Yang Xiuqing? Did he kill Yang Xiuqing just to let Wei Changhui take the stage? Let alone the Heavenly Kings, even Chen Cheng? He would not agree either.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan finally spoke. "Announcing that the King Of The East is rebelling can be done. But the Left Assistant Military Counselor is not good enough. "
"Why?" Wei Changhui stared at Hong Xiuquan and asked loudly.
Hong Xiuquan frowned and said in a stern tone, "Prince Yi hasn't returned to the capital yet. If we can't get Prince Yi's support for such an important matter, what if they quarrel after he returns to the capital?"
"Alright! In that case, I'll discuss it with King Yi after he returns to the capital! "Wei Changhui accepted Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan's explanation.
After hearing North King Wei Changhui's words, Chen Cheng's heart tightened. His heart tightened. After discussing with Wing King Shi Dakai, it was confirmed that the Left Assistant Military Counselor position would be given to Wei Changhui. What position did Wei Changhui place the Heavenly Kings in?
Without waiting for Chen Cheng? As he continued thinking, North King Wei Changhui continued, "I'll bring people to kill the remaining members of Yang Xiuqing's faction now!"
"North King! These people are our brothers and relatives. It's not good to kill them like this, is it? "Prince Yan Rigang, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke.
"What do you know?" North King Wei Changhui scolded Prince Yan Rigang. "I've already sent people to investigate. The remaining members of the faction are crying at home right now. Many of them are swearing to kill us and our brothers. If we don't kill them now, are we going to wait for them to kill us? We've already stopped a few hundred people at the city gates. All of them want to seek refuge with Vézé. If this drags on, we don't even need to release them. These remaining members of Yang Xiuqing's faction will seek refuge with Vézé themselves. We really can't wait! "
Hearing Wei Changhui's words, Qin Rigang was also a little shocked. He asked, "How are those hundreds of people now?"
"I've already ordered people to kill them all!" Wei Changhui said with a straight face.
"Ah?" Qin Rigang was shocked. He did not expect the North King, Wei Changhui, to have already made his move. Not only Qin Rigang, but also Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and Chen Cheng? They were all startled.
Wei Changhui couldn't help but sneer when he saw the surprised looks on these people's faces. "You guys didn't see it. Originally, I just wanted to scare them and pretend to order people to kill them. I didn't expect that they would show their true colors at this moment. Not only did they refuse to admit their crimes, but they also cursed at me, saying that they wouldn't forgive us even if they turned into ghosts! How could he not kill these people? The people who had escaped were already like this, so what difference would there be between the remnants of Yang Xiuqing and them? If we don't kill them now, they will come and kill us! That's the rule of Guangxi! "
Hearing Wei Changhui's increasingly ferocious voice, Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, Prince Yan Rigang, Zuo Tianhou Chen Cheng? All of them shut their mouths.
