"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The gong sounded three times, and the square, where some people were originally talking in low voices, suddenly became completely quiet, and tens of thousands of eyes were all looking towards the platform outside the Sun Palace.

Although this large square outside the main hall of the Sun Palace was built for discussion and preaching, the leader Hong Xiuquan was a bit of a "homebody" and was too lazy to even hold court meetings, let alone preach? So this square has been idle since it was built, and today is the first time it has been put into use!

Moreover, the Taiping Army's male and female holy soldiers gathered in the square today have not seen Hong Tianwang for a long time. Some of them joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom relatively late and may never have seen their Hong Tianwang. Today is a rare opportunity, so shouldn't they meet him?
I heard that this person is a genuine god!
"Here comes the King!"

Following the shouts of the two "soprano" female officials, the people standing in the square saw a man in a yellow robe and yellow hat, walking out of the main hall of the Sun Palace surrounded by a large group of people.

Those who were originally sitting on the platform outside the Sun Palace immediately stood up to greet them.

There is no doubt that the person coming out of the hall was Hong Xiuquan!
"kneel!"

The two "Sopranos" shouted again.

The Taiping Army men and women standing in the square and the high officials of the Heavenly Kingdom on the platform, except for Yang Xiuqing and Feng Yunshan, two of the "Four Living Fathers", all shouted "Long live the Heavenly King". Yang Xiuqing and Feng Yunshan bowed and saluted, and also shouted "Long live the Heavenly King". Then those on the platform heard Hong Xiuquan's voice, which could not hide his smile: "Qing compatriots, Shan compatriots, sit down, all of you sit down!"

Only Yang Xiuqing and Feng Yunshan could sit, everyone else had to kneel!

In the square of the Sun Palace, a large crowd of people were kneeling. Everyone looked up and saw Hong Xiuquan, wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown, sitting on a throne. There were two chairs on his left and right. On the first chair on the left sat Yang Xiuqing, the Eastern King, and on the second chair on the left sat Feng Yunshan, the Southern King. The two chairs on the right were empty, reserved for Xiao Chaogui and Luo Yaoguo.

Under these four chairs, kneeling on each side were three rows of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom male and female officials, including officials in front of the Heavenly King Hall and officials of the kings. The officials and guards who came out of the hall with Hong Xiuquan stood behind the Heavenly King's throne, each of them with their chests puffed out and their bellies protruding, looking very energetic, and each of them was wearing a sword.

When Hong Xiuquan saw that Yang Xiuqing, Feng Yunshan, and all the officials on the platform were not wearing swords, the smile on his face became even brighter.

To discuss the Dao and debate the scriptures, one must have a sword in one hand and a scripture in the other!

Thinking of this, Hong Xiuquan smiled and said, "I called everyone here today to tell you that the overall situation in the southeast has been settled. I have already reported the victory to Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother. A few days ago, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother appeared in my dream. The Qing monster is doomed. We must continue to work hard to completely eliminate the Qing monster. There must be no hesitation. Let alone collusion with the leader of the Qing monster!"

At the beginning, he spoke a lot of nice words, but after a few words, he changed the subject and his tone became heavier: "Father and Brother Heaven have said that we must be resolute in destroying the monster! We must act in one go and avoid procrastination. We should not pretend to be a monster and flatter the monster-clearing court for a little profit! Even if it is just a temporary measure, it is absolutely not right! Father and Brother Heaven ordered me to investigate the communication with monsters. Naturally, I can no longer take into account the relationship between brothers and tolerate it blindly! Those who communicate with monsters will be subject to the laws of heaven and the country!

But I am not unreasonable. I will give some people a chance to confess their crimes and send people to investigate thoroughly. If there is a justifiable reason, I will ask Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother for mercy in my dreams and give him a lighter sentence for his past merits. If he tries to resist the power of Heaven, he will go to hell!"

He talked a lot, and his criticism seemed to be directed at Wu Wang Luo Yaoguo, but those who really understood knew that what he was targeting was actually Yang Xiuqing's right to "speak for God the Father."

The Heavenly Father had directly appeared in his dreams, and he could even actively seek out the Heavenly Father in his dreams. Now that the Heavenly Father and the Heavenly King could "travel freely in dreams", did the Heavenly Father still need to possess Yang Xiuqing?

Yang Xiuqing was sitting right next to him. If he dared to raise any objections or play some God-possessed trick, Hong Xiuquan would immediately have Hong Daquan pounce on him and hold him down - if a God can be held down by a mortal, then he is not the real God!
Whenever Yang Xiuqing was pinned down in public once while playing the God-possessed role, his "gong" would be broken!

If Yang Xiuqing did not perform the shaman dance today, which means he acknowledged that Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother and Heavenly King communicated with each other in his dream, then Hong Xiuquan would go further and use the "dream command" from Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother to order Yang Xiuqing to stay in Tianjing and be responsible for investigating Luo Yaoguo's collusion with the demon.

If Yang Xiuqing disobeyed the order, he would have to perform a ritual and Hong Daquan would be able to hold him down!

If he obeyed Hong Xiuquan, Hong Xiuquan could temporarily detain him in Jinlongcheng, and then order Shi Dakai to lead the army led by Yang Xiuqing to advance to Changzhou to put pressure on Luo Yaoguo and force him to hand over the Tongtianjing.
While Hong Xiuquan was speaking, he looked at Yang Xiuqing, only to find that the latter was still pretending to be calm, with his legs crossed and a smile on his pale face, as if what Hong Tianquan said had nothing to do with him!

When Hong Xiuquan finished speaking, there was silence on the platform outside the Sun Palace. No one spoke. Only a dozen "sopranos" standing on the platform could be heard repeating what Hong Tianwang had just said.

The square outside the Sun Palace is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. Although Bian Sanniang has arranged more than a dozen "sopranos", they can only allow two or three thousand people who are closer to the platform to hear the general idea.

All they saw were these people, stunned, kneeling on the ground, then standing up and looking at Hong Xiuquan on the stage.

It turns out that this king really wants to cause trouble for King Luo Wu!
"Qing people, Shan people, what do you think?"

Seeing that Yang Xiuqing remained silent, Hong Xiuquan simply passed the question over.

"Heavenly King," Yang Xiuqing said slowly, "You may be wrong!" "Wrong? How could I be wrong?"

Hong Xiuquan stared at Yang Xiuqing, but seeing that he neither did a somersault nor rolled his eyes or foamed at the mouth, he was a little unsure of how to proceed.

Yang Xiuqing said: "You may have just had a dream! As the saying goes, you dream about what you think about during the day! The Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother you saw in your dream are not real!"

"What."

Hong Xiuquan even had the urge to smash the cup as a signal!
This Yang Xiuqing did not perform any shaman act, but instead questioned whether the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother in Hong Tianwang's dream were real!
"Be bold!"

At this time, Hong Daquan shouted: "Your Highness the Eastern King, how dare you question the dream of the King of Heaven?"

Yang Xiuqing was not angry, but smiled and said: "It's just a dream! The Heavenly King had a dream, and a certain king of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be in trouble? I'm afraid that the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother will not agree, right?"

"Eliminate the cells!"

Hong Xiuquan said in a deep voice: "Isn't it true that the compatriots are colluding with the demons?"

Yang Xiuqing said with a smile: "The compatriots have a mirror that can contact Brother Tian. This may not be Brother Tian's intention!"

"Nonsense!" Hong Xiuquan shouted angrily, "How could Brother Tian call fellow countrymen collude with demons?"

Yang Xiuqing spread his hands and said with a smile: "Heavenly King, how would I know? Why don't you ask my ninth brother yourself?"

"Ask?" Hong Xiuquan snorted, "Where is he?"

At this time, Yang Xiuqing stood up from his chair and raised his right hand.

Is this some kind of shamanic act?
Hong Xiuquan quickly signaled to Hong Daquan, who was already rolling up his sleeves, ready to pounce.

But Yang Xiuqing just stood up and raised his hand without any other movement.

What is this for?
Everyone in the square was attracted by Yang Xiuqing's strange behavior. No one spoke anymore and the whole square was quiet.

Suddenly, a particularly loud voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong! I am not a demon."

This is Luo Yaoguo's voice!

But it was extremely loud, a sound that no human could produce!

Hong Xiuquan and everyone on the platform and in the square all looked in the direction of the voice and saw that several people in the crowd near the platform had already stood up. One of them was a tall man wearing an ordinary yellow robe with a red scarf on his head. He seemed to be Luo Yaoguo.

"Heavenly King, you are wrong. I have never been in contact with demons. I am only following the orders of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother!"

The loud voice rang out again.

Luo Yaoguo took a step forward and began to walk towards the platform.

Behind him followed Zeng Tianyang and Zeng Jiumei, among whom Zeng Jiumei was holding a cylindrical "magic weapon" - the same magic weapon that could play the song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" sung by Ji Du earlier!
