The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 16 The truth is in my hand, and I have disciples! (Testing the waters, please read and collect)

The most powerful officials in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were the military advisors and the chief generals. There were four military advisors, namely the left assistant military advisor, the right assistant military advisor, the front deputy military advisor, and the rear deputy military advisor. These four military advisors were Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Feng Yunshan, and Wei Changhui respectively. Shi Dakai, as the King of Wings, did not hold the position of military advisor.

There are now five main generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, namely the general of the central army, the general of the front army, the general of the rear army, the general of the right army, and the general of the left army. They are Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Feng Yunshan, Wei Changhui, and Shi Dakai respectively.

In other words, Shi Dakai only has a main general but no military advisor, and he ranks last among the six kings of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Luo Yaoguo's status was "a thousand years lower" than Shi Dakai's, so Hong Xiuquan also wanted to refer to Shi Dakai first and give him a choice between the two, either military advisor or commander. However, Hong Xiuquan preferred Luo Yaoguo to choose the higher-ranking military advisor, so that he could stay at the core of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and fight against Yang Xiuqing.

But Luo Yaoguo didn't plan to confront Yang Xiuqing right now. He didn't have the strength and power to do so! If Yang Xiuqing really pushed him to the limit and wanted to kill Luo Yaoguo, he would not have the strength to protect himself, nor the power to defeat Yang Xiuqing. Wouldn't that be the end of him?

But he couldn't just do nothing, otherwise how could he let Hong Xiuquan "win without doing anything"?
So he decided to start as a lecturer who specialized in teaching "Heavenly Truths". And this "Heavenly Truth" could also be the strongest force in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

Hong Xiuquan thought that Luo Yaoguo might not know how important this military advisor and commander was, so he pointed to the God Worship Hall and said to Luo Yaoguo, "My countrymen, this is not the place to talk. Let's go inside first."

Having said that, he swaggered into the church and sat down on the right side of a "God" tablet that was as tall as a person - on the other side was also a tablet, which was dedicated to Brother Heaven Jesus.

As for the others, they can only stand there unless Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui come to ask for help from the gods!
Luo Yaoguo stepped into the hall and saw that Hong Xiuquan had already taken his seat. He lifted his robe and knelt down before the "Second Son" of God: "I, your humble servant, respectfully wish you the best of health!"

"Hahahaha," Hong Xiuquan was very pleased to hear Luo Yaoguo respectfully call him "Second Holy Son". He laughed and waved his hand, "Get up, get up, Eighth Brother, get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Second Son of Heavenly King." Luo Yaoguo immediately got up after thanking Hong Xiuquan, and then clasped his fists towards Eastern King Yang Xiuqing, "I pay my respects to the Fourth Brother of Eastern King."

Fourth brother, not the Fourth Holy Son!

Luo Yaoguo called Hong Xiuquan the "Second Holy Son", and the "Great Holy Son" was of course Jesus. But Yang Xiuqing was only the "Fourth Brother", and was obviously not on the same level as the "Great Holy Son" or the "Second Holy Son"!

Luo Yaoguo was an imperial angel and he knew things in heaven. He called Hong Xiuquan "the Second Holy Son" and Yang Xiuqing "the Fourth Brother". Does this mean that Jesus and Hong Xiuquan were both God's legitimate sons, while Yang Xiuqing and others were just illegitimate sons?
When Yang Xiuqing thought of this, he was furious, but he still did not lose his temper in public, because at this moment the Taiping Army's holy soldiers outside were still singing "The pride laughs at the waves, and the blood is hotter than the red sun"!

If Yang Xiuqing were to compete with Luo Yaoguo in performing magic now, his chances of winning would be slim.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiuqing's expression changed. He walked towards Luo Yaoguo with a warm look on his face, and stretched out his right hand to put on his left wrist, and said with a smile: "Eighth brother, tens of thousands of people from my Taiping Army lined up to welcome you to the world, do you feel glorious?"

"I don't think so." Luo Yaoguo shook his head.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Luo Yaoguo bowed to Hong Xiuquan and said, "I wish that the power and virtue of the Second Son of Heavenly King will spread throughout the four seas and the nine provinces, and complete the great cause of expelling the Tartars and restoring China. Only then can I, as a founding hero of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, be honored!"

Then he turned to Yang Xiuqing and said, "Fourth brother, this must be what you wish for, right?"

Yang Xiuqing said with a smile: "Eighth brother, no wonder the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother sent you down to assist the Heavenly King. We brothers will assist the Heavenly King's Second Son together in the future. I will be the Heavenly King's left arm, and you will be his right arm. How do you think?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chaogui's eyes almost rolled back - Yang Xiuqing was the Left Assistant Military Advisor of the Heavenly Kingdom, and he, Xiao Chaogui, was the Right Assistant Military Advisor.

They are Hong Xiuquan's right-hand men!

Why has the "right arm" now been replaced by Luo Yaoguo?

"Fourth brother, you flatter me too much," Luo Yaoguo shook his head quickly, "I can't be the right arm of the Second Son of the Heavenly King. To be the right arm, you need to be able to march and fight, and have a group of good brothers who will go through thick and thin with you. How can I have that ability?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Chaogui from the corner of his eye and found that the latter finally stopped rolling his eyes. "Eighth brother," Feng Yunshan said with a smile, "So what do you want to do?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "Third brother, I really want to be a lecturer."

"Lecturer?" Feng Yunshan was stunned. "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about things in heaven!" Luo Yaoguo said with a smile, "Our heavenly saints must want to know what heaven is like, right?"

"That's true!" Although Luo Yaoguo's request was a little beyond Feng Yunshan's expectations, he still followed the words of this angel brother and said, "We shout every day to kill the Qing monsters and go to heaven, but no one can really explain what is so good about this heaven."

"Eighth brother," Hong Xuanjiao continued Feng Yunshan's question, "Is heaven fun?"

"It's fun!" Luo Yaoguo laughed, "There are so many things to do in heaven! People in heaven don't have to worry about food and drink, so they have some spare money and of course they have to find some fun, so there are so many fun places and fun things!"

After hearing what Luo Yaoguo said, Hong Xiuquan frowned and asked, "Does heaven still need money?"

"Of course!" Luo Yaoguo nodded and said, "Without money, you can't go anywhere, even to heaven!"

"Are all the people in heaven rich?" Hong Xiuquan frowned - why is this "paradise" a little different from what he imagined?
Luo Yaoguo nodded and said, "Yes! But some people have more money, and some people have less money."

"Why are there still more people and fewer people?" Hong Xiuquan was stunned again, "Shouldn't it be that everything belongs to the Lord, and everything is equal?"

"You are right, Second Son of Heavenly King." Luo Yaoguo certainly could not say that Hong Xiuquan was "wrong." He did not have the authority yet, so he could only go along with what Heavenly King Hong said. "God will distribute everything to the people in heaven, but this distribution method sometimes emphasizes equality, and sometimes emphasizes personal ability, work hard, or luck. It all depends on God's will, and there is no certainty. This is probably why God's will is unpredictable, right?
There are so many good things in heaven, and there are millions of them! If we distribute them one by one, it will not only be troublesome, but people will also get many things they don't need or like, which will inevitably lead to waste.

So there must be money in heaven. The Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother distribute money. Those who receive the money can buy whatever they want!"

"I see."

Luo Yaoguo's words surprised Hong Xiuquan. In this heaven, one actually needs money and has to work. However, Luo Yaoguo came from heaven, and Hong Xiuquan himself could not remember what heaven looked like, so he could only nod and agree.

The second son of God thought: It seems that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really needs someone to tell everyone about the situation in heaven, and I would like to listen. Why not let this angel be a lecturer first, and then give him a military advisor or commander after he is familiar with the situation.

"In that case." Hong Xiuquan thought for a while, then turned back to Yang Xiuqing and said, "Qing compatriots, why don't we set up the position of chief lecturer and let the compatriots take the position."

Yang Xiuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: “Heavenly King, the position of the chief lecturer of the compatriots is ranked below the four military divisions and the five main generals, and is as important as the female camp chief!”

Hong Xiuquan nodded, and then said in a solemn tone: "Eighth brother, fellow countrymen, listen to the title!"

Luo Yaoguo knelt down quickly to listen to the title. He had already listened to the title once yesterday, but it seemed not grand and formal enough. Today he inspected the camp first and then listened to the title. Moreover, he listened to the title in the Temple of Worship, which seemed particularly grand.

Hong Xiuquan recited a doggerel in a melodious and sacred voice: "My eighth brother, fellow countryman, came from heaven. You are my brother and the adopted son of Heavenly Father. You came down to earth to help me build my country. I appoint you as the 4,000-year-old. You are an official lecturer and angel. You have opened a government to teach the principles of heaven. Under the east, west, south, and north wings, the women in the camp are as beautiful as each other!"

Luo Yaoguo kowtowed quickly and said loudly: "I thank the Second Holy Son of the Heavenly King for his great kindness!"

Now, Luo Yaoguo not only officially became an Angel of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but also obtained the "right to reason" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom - I have the reason in my hand, and I have the disciples!
