Just when Yang Xiuqing, Guo Wei, and Hong Rengan were looking at Wei Changhui in surprise, they saw Wei Changhui respectfully saluted Hong Xiuquan on the throne, and then said!
"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu is so powerful that the Eastern King's defeat was not a crime of war. I think back then, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was so powerful and General Yang Xiuqing made great military exploits, if he were to be held accountable for just one defeat, I'm afraid it would be a disgrace to all the soldiers. heart of……"
"What you said makes sense, but the tens of thousands of soldiers have died. If you don't punish the King of the East, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"
Hong Xiuquan and Wei Changhui sang together and then turned the topic to Yang Xiuqing, the East King in the palace. First Update @ Now the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan has promised not to execute King Dong, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. How to deal with this living crime specifically needs to be discussed and decided by Prime Minister Hong Rengan and General Guo Wei.
"I wonder if the Prime Minister and the General have any ideas?"
Facing Hong Xiuquan's inquiry, Prime Minister Hong Rengan and General Guo Wei lowered their heads and remained silent. At this moment, they were secretly worried, why didn't Hong Xiuquan follow the routine? What is this?
"Your Majesty, the general thinks that we can temporarily hand over the military power in the hands of King Dong to the general, and then let the general take the place of King Dong and go north to Kuaiji County to conquer Yuan Shu. Only in this way can we convince the people!"
At this time, Hong Daquan stepped out of the palace, bowed and saluted, and then expressed all his thoughts. As soon as he said these words, Dongwang Yang Xiuqing's expression changed instantly. Asking him to hand over his military power would undoubtedly be more uncomfortable than directly ordering his death!
However, what Hong Xiuquan, Wei Changhui, and Hong Daquan did was a conspiracy, and they deprived Yang Xiuqing of his rights in a well-reasoned and well-founded way. If Yang Xiuqing was unwilling to obey this edict and chose to rebel openly, then he would be the target of public criticism. Except for Guo Wei in the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Other generals outside his own power will draw a clear line with him.
If Yang Xiuqing doesn't want to be the target of public criticism, he has no choice but to hand over his military power at this point. Otherwise, if he is found guilty of being a self-reliant soldier, he will be completely doomed!
"I now issue an edict to take back the military power of the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing, and transfer this military power to the general Guo Wei. I then order the general to take General Fu Yanqing, General Guo Ruifu and 30,000 elite soldiers. Half a month later, he will go east along the river to launch a surprise attack. There must be no mistakes in Kuaiji County.”
Yang Xiuqing lowered his head, with a gloomy and ferocious look in his eyes. Now he was restless. Once he handed over the military power, then he, the so-called Eastern King who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, would completely become the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. The fish meat under the knife is left to its will...
"If there is nothing to report, then retreat from the court!"
Just when Hong Xiuquan was about to announce his resignation, Prime Minister Hong Rengan hurriedly submitted a remonstrance and said: "Sili, Dong Zhongying blatantly deposed the emperor, slaughtered aristocratic families, stayed in the harem at night, and was cruel and unkind. All the princes in the world have done so. Unable to bear the humiliation of the Han emperor, he formed a coalition of troops to attack him.
Sun Jian of Yangxi is a loyal man of the Han Dynasty. He has strong troops and horses and wants to go north to join the war. At this time, his power is internally empty. We can take advantage of this opportunity to mobilize troops and generals to unify the entire southern part of Yangzhou, and then attack Jingzhou all the way west to seize the land south of Jingzhou. , integrate the two states and then attack Yuan Shu, we will definitely drive his army out of Yangzhou! "
"Where is Wei Changhui? I have promoted you to the general of the Western Conquest. Half a month later, you will lead 30,000 elite soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven to attack Sun Jian's forces with a blitzkrieg. We must completely complete the unification of southern Yangzhou before Sun Jian can return to defense. If the opportunity is delayed, you will take the lead. See!"
"I will obey your orders!"
With Wei Changhui's words that the general will obey his orders, this court meeting came to an end, and all the courtiers in the palace retreated and filed out.
…
"Hong Xiuquan has taken away my military power. I can't sit back and wait for death. I have to strike first!"
The irritable Yang Xiuqing vented her hatred by smashing objects in the house wantonly. Now, he has no military power and no help. It is really difficult for him to stand up from the dead!
"General Yang Xiuqing, if I say that I have a way for you to get rid of Hong Xiuquan and ascend to the position of leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, will you be willing to cooperate with me?"
Just when Yang Xiuqing was tired from venting and holding his knees to rest his breath, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the curtain next to the window, but this voice was extremely unfamiliar.
"who?"
Yang Xiuqing's eyes instantly became fierce. He drew his sword from his waist and walked cautiously towards the curtain, looking at the curtain warily. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 405: The underworld is dispatched, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is changing hands!
There was movement in the direction, for fear that someone would come out and assassinate him.
At the curtain, a dark figure flashed past, and then stood steadily a foot away in front of Yang Xiuqing. However, he saw that figure also holding a long sword in his hand, looking at Yang Xiuqing with a half-smile, like a frightened bird.
"I, Li Gexiao, have been ordered by my lord to help King Dong escape from a dead end. @精品\/书馆*First update~~"
"Li Gexiao? Who is your master, and why did he send you here to help me get out of trouble? What are your intentions?"
Looking at Li Gexiao in front of him, a glimmer of doubt flashed in Yang Xiuqing's eyes. He was now in a frightened state and did not believe that the guy opposite was coming to help him out of trouble!
"I am here to help the King of the East on the orders of my lord Yuan Shu. If the King of the East is unwilling to accept the favor, then I will retreat on my own. It's a pity that in half a month, the King of the East will be dead and in a different place..."
Li Gexiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he started to step closer to Yang Xiuqing. The sharp sword held tightly in his rough hands was thrown back and forth with his left and right hands. The sword's light disappeared and appeared, full of threats.
"Yuan Shu? How do you want to break the situation? In my current situation, even if Yuan Shu comes in person, it will not help?"
Yang Xiuqing let down his guard. Now he had figured it out. What if Hong Xiuquan wanted to kill him? In his current condition, he can't resist at all! Instead of waiting for death, it is better to cooperate with Yuan Shu and survive first.
Li Gexiao chuckled, then put the sword in his hand into the scabbard, hooked his right finger, signaling Yang Xiuqing to come closer first!
Seeing Yang Xiuqing bowing and leaning his ear, Li Gexiao whispered to him Yuan Shu's plan (the plan to overthrow the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was thought up by Yuan Shu and his entire army of military advisors, and the steps were mainly divided into three steps).
"This first step is the key. If King Dong cannot let Wei Changhui attack Sun Jian's forces ten days in advance, then we don't need to talk about the next steps at all. We can just prepare for the funeral as soon as possible."
Li Gexiao did not tell Yuan Shu's plan all at once, but took Yang Xiuqing step by step to the point of no return!
"What exactly are you planning?"
"Cross the river to rule, and march north to defeat Dong with peace of mind!"
Yang Xiuqing had nothing to say for a while. If Yuan Shu wanted to attack Dong with peace of mind, Yangzhou's rear area really needed to be stabilized. After the change of ownership, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was busy rectifying internal affairs and would not have time to go north to launch a war. In this way, Yang Xiuqing seemed to understand Yuan Shu. Ideas to help yourself out. .
