"Ah? Someone wants to be Zhu Yuanzhang? That's terrible. Fourth brother, who is this person? It can't be you, right?"

Luo Yaoguo narrowed his eyes, looked at Yang Xiuqing, whose face was ashen, and asked back a question.

"How could it be me?" Yang Xiuqing said innocently, "Old Nine, what kind of person I am, Fourth Brother, don't you know?"

"Know, know"

Long live the ban!
Luo Yaoguo nodded and looked at Yang Xiuqing, waiting for him to swear.

Yang Xiuqing clasped his hands together, stood up, walked to the tablet of "Father Haotian Emperor" in the cabin, knelt down, and swore loudly: "I, Yang Xiuqing, swear to Father Haotian that I will never have second thoughts towards my brothers and the Kingdom of Heaven, and I will never be Zhu Yuanzhang! If I break this oath, I will die under the sword!"

You know what, your oath is quite accurate!

Luo Yaoguo thought to himself, "After you forced the emperor to be crowned emperor, weren't you hacked to death by Wei Changhui's men? This is the result of unchecked power!"

"Fourth brother, you definitely don't want to be Zhu Yuanzhang, so what do you want to be?"

Luo Yaoguo continued to ask.

Yang Xiuqing stood up and turned to look at Luo Yaoguo, his face already a little unhappy: "Old Nine, what do you mean by this? Don't you trust me?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "Fourth brother, you and I are both sensible people. There is nothing that cannot be said openly! I know why you came to Suzhou today."

He took out the "Tongtian Mirror" from his pocket and shook it in front of Yang Xiuqing. The holy image of Ji Du appeared on the "Tongtian Mirror".

Yang Xiuqing thought to himself, "Sure enough! He has a treasure that can contact Brother Tian, ​​but Jiao wants to help Hong Xiuquan deal with him. He is really courting death!"

Luo Yaoguo said slowly: "But it is understandable that the Heavenly King wants to take back power, because our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is now falling apart, and it really has a bit of the meaning of the Dragon and Phoenix Song Dynasty at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. How could he not worry about ending up like Han Lin'er?

And can we kings who have conquered a large territory with our troops really be willing to hand over our troops and territory with confidence?

After handing it over, who can guarantee that it will have a good ending in the future? There are too many precedents!"

Yang Xiuqing's face darkened: "Old Nine, what do you want to say?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "Fourth Brother, how can I think so much? I am just running errands for Brother Tian."

He waved the phone again.

It turns out that Brother Tian has an idea.
Yang Xiuqing bowed to the "Tiantian Mirror" in Luo Yaoguo's hand and said, "I wonder what instructions Brother Tian has for me?"

Luo Yaoguo said solemnly: "Brother Tian, ​​what you mean is: the original nominal monarchy of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is also very good! Why must there be Zhu Yuanzhang? What's so good about Zhu Yuanzhang? After he conquered the world, he killed the meritorious officials. It is too difficult for the old brothers who followed him to have a good end! I think it is best for no one to be this Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"Yes!" Yang Xiuqing nodded heavily, "No one wants to be this Zhu Yuanzhang!"

Luo Yaoguo's tone suddenly sank: "But Brother Tian thinks it's not good for you to control everyone alone!"

Yang Xiuqing's mouth twitched, and he quickly excused himself: "I don't think it's good either. Hasn't he retired?"

He is retreating in order to advance!

Three of the four living fathers were growing happily outside, but he was the only one guarding Hong Xiuquan and could do nothing.

He neither dared to usurp Hong Xiuquan's position, nor could he use Hong Xiuquan's righteous reputation to deal with the living father outside - because Hong Xiuquan did not have such a high righteous reputation.

So Yang Xiuqing simply ran away and went to Jiangbei to fight for his own territory under the name of the Northern Expedition.

As a result, only half a year after he left, Hong Xiuquan became dishonest. One moment he wanted to appoint Hu Yihuang, Qin Rigang and Hong Rengan as kings, and the next moment he hooked up with Jiao Liang.

Although the news Yang Xiuqing had received recently was that Hong Xiuquan wanted to accuse Luo Yaoguo of colluding with the devil, Yang Xiuqing got hold of another piece of news that was very unfavorable to him, which was that Jiao Liang had returned to Hong Xiuquan's side.

He and Jiao Liang are mortal enemies!
So when Jiao Liang ran to Luo Yaoguo's side, Yang Xiuqing immediately became alert. He originally thought that Luo Yaoguo would make use of this big liar, but he didn't expect that Jiao Liang would be sent to Japan.

However, Yang Xiuqing was a careful man, so he sent people to Japan to keep an eye on Jiao Liang.

He was the first to know about Jiao Liang sneaking into Tianjing from Japan!

Not long after Jiao Liang sneaked into Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing heard that Hong Xiuquan wanted to use the "Angel's Communication with the Demon" case to deal with Luo Yaoguo. With Yang Xiuqing's meticulousness and caution, would he not understand that Hong Xiuquan and Jiao Liang wanted to deal with Luo Yaoguo openly, but actually wanted to deal with him?

If they really wanted to target Luo Yaoguo, they should have tricked him into Tianjing and detained him first. How could the news be flying everywhere before he was caught?

Luo Yaoguo has military power and territory. If he stays in his territory, what can Hong Xiuquan do to him? "Fourth brother, you have withdrawn, but our Heavenly King has a lot to consider." Luo Yaoguo said, "This won't work!"

Yang Xiuqing nodded: "It's indeed not possible." He pointed to the "Tongtian Mirror" in Luo Yaoguo's hand and said, "What it means is..."

"Republic!"

Luo Yaoguo said: "It means republic!"

"What is a republic?"

Yang Xiuqing asked.

Yang Xiuqing had heard of the word "republic", and now he knew about the Lan Fang Republic!
But he was not quite clear about how to "share" and "harmonize" specifically.

"The meaning of a republic is that power is shared by all!" Luo Yaoguo said, "Don't we say that we should share food, clothes, money and land? Then shouldn't power be shared by all? That's a republic!"

"What? Can this power be held together?" Yang Xiuqing was stunned.

"Why not?" Luo Yaoguo said with a smile, "There are many people who do this in heaven and on earth. Let's not talk about heaven, let's just say that my fifth sister has the same power in the underworld."

"Your fifth sister? Queen Victoria?" Yang Xiuqing asked, "Who is she in power with?"

"Parliament," Luo Yaoguo said, "There are many members of the British Parliament, all of whom are prominent figures in the UK. Our fifth sister discusses the national affairs of the UK with them. Even if our fifth sister dislikes those members of parliament, she cannot send troops to arrest them and punish them."

"Ah, then her title of king is just empty talk?" Yang Xiuqing frowned slightly.

"Yes," Luo Yaoguo nodded, "My fifth sister's title of king is just nominal. She has plenty of wealth and splendor, but not much real power. Fourth brother, do you think we can also make some arrangements for the second brother?"

Yang Xiuqing stroked his few whiskers and said, "Since this is what the higher-ups want, I certainly agree. But we don't have any councillors here, so who should help the Heavenly King exercise this power?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled and pointed at Yang Xiuqing, then at himself: "You and me, as well as my third brother, sixth brother, seventh sister, eighth brother, and your brother-in-law, plus Hong Rengan, Hu Yihuang, and Qin Rigang, how about a ten-king council?"

"Forget about the seventh sister. Let him and your brother-in-law become one king," Yang Xiuqing said. "Then we will have nine kings to discuss politics!"

"Okay, let's listen to Fourth Brother!" Luo Yaoguo nodded.

"Also," Yang Xiuqing asked again, "what about the territories we have?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "Of course the territory is controlled by ourselves or people we trust! But in name it cannot be our fiefdom, we can only control it in the name of establishing a government."

Yang Xiuqing rolled his eyes and nodded, "Okay, that's exactly what I want!"

Tianjing, Golden Dragon City, Sun Palace.

Hong Xiuquan was sitting in a study, feeling a little restless. Yes, really restless.

Ever since Hong Rengan took his handwritten letter to Ganzhou, he has been restless. He had no time to deal with state affairs, and left all the official duties to Wei Changhui, Hu Yihuang, Qin Rigang and others. He hid in the deep palace all day long, not letting anyone approach him, and only let Daozi, Bian Sanniang and the group of Japanese girls brought by Daozi take turns to take care of his daily life and diet.

It's not that he was overly cautious, but that the opponent he had to deal with was too powerful - Luo Yaoguo's wife Su Sanniang had been the deputy chief of the women's camp, and Hong Xuanjiao, who had been spanked by him before, had been the chief of the women's camp!

As a superstar, he really doesn't have many absolute confidants.

Of course, the female soldiers guarding Jinlong City seem to be very loyal, but you can never tell a person’s true heart from his appearance!

Does anyone know if there are any close friends of Hong Xuanjiao and Su Sanniang below?

What he is doing now is to divide and conquer the four living fathers, especially Xiao Chaogui and Luo Yaoguo. Otherwise, once the two of them meet, they can launch the Ji Du descent stunt, and then he, the king of heaven, will have to kneel down.
"Your Majesty!"

The voice of a Japanese maid suddenly came.

Hong Xiuquan turned his head and saw the face of a girl with a happy expression.

When the girl saw Hong Xiuquan looking at her, her face turned red and she knelt down, with her forehead pressed to the ground and her butt raised high. She looked very pious, even more pious than those old sisters from Guangxi!

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Hong has entered the city!"

Hong Xiuquan hurriedly said: "Call him in!"
