The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 382 Hong Xiuquan: I will never worship Ji Du again! (Please subscribe, please vote)

"So it was Brother Tian who wanted to harm me. Why, why, why did he do this? I have already come down to earth, why is he still here?"

Hong Xiuquan slumped on the throne, muttering "mythology". He looked as if he had been hit and was about to collapse.

Yang Xiuqing, Feng Yunshan, Hong Rengan, and other officials from the East Palace, South Palace, Wu Palace, and other kings on the platform, as well as officials from the Heavenly Kingdom Center, all heard the conversation between Hong Xiuquan and Luo Yaoguo. Except for Feng Yunshan, who knew that Luo Yaoguo had received instructions from "above", everyone else, including Yang Xiuqing, was shocked.

It turns out that Luo Yaoguo Luo Tianshi received instructions from Ji Du and united with other kings to help the King of Heaven become a sage!

It seems that there is not much harmony between this Heavenly Brother Ji Du and the Heavenly King! Is there also a fight for the throne in Heaven? Could it be that the Heavenly King failed in the fight for the throne with Ji Du and was banished to the lower world?

Although this group of people worshipped God and believed in the nonsense of the crazy Hong Xiuquan, their thinking was ultimately Chinese.

In their minds, this Heavenly Father is probably like the Jade Emperor, and Queen Maria is probably the Queen Mother. Ji Du is the eldest prince of the Jade Emperor, and the Heavenly King must be the second prince in heaven. The East King, South King, North King, and Wing King are most likely the illegitimate sons of the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West is a princess in heaven, and the West King is the prince consort in heaven. They are most likely the party of the Heavenly King's second prince, and because they failed to win the throne together with the second prince, they were exiled to the mortal world.

The angel Nara is most likely the confidant of the Heavenly Brother Ji Du, who came down to earth to keep an eye on the Heavenly King.
Seeing Hong Xiuquan like this, Luo Yaoguo knew that he had fooled him again, so he continued to apologize to Hong Xiuquan and said, "Heavenly King, don't worry too much. After all, you are the son of Heavenly Father. As long as you stay safe and be a saint in the lower world, Heavenly Brother can't do anything to you. The misunderstanding between you and Heavenly Brother can be resolved after a hundred years when you return to Heaven and ask Heavenly Father for justice. Now you are a mortal after all, and you don't have magic power to protect yourself. Mortals can't fight against Heaven!"

Hong Xiuquan snorted, and regained some of his spirit. He looked at Luo Yaoguo coldly, "Go and tell him that I will be content to be a saint! But I will never worship Brother Tian again!"

Luo Yaoguo immediately bowed deeply: "Your Highness, I obey your order!"

Hong Xiuquan stood up from the throne, and Daozi, who was crying silently, immediately rushed over to help the unsteady Hong Tianwang. Hong Xiuquan wanted to push away the woman Hong Daquan gave him, but when he saw her delicate and foreign face, and remembered her gentleness, he finally sighed and said to Daozi: "I am tired, help me back to the palace!"

"Yes."

Inako finally let go of her worries - no matter what, King Hong was much stronger than Emperor Tōnin! Even if he was sidelined by the kings below, the income of "Tenryō" would not be less than that of the Tokugawa Shogun. Her status was still comparable to that of the concubine of the Lord of the Kingdom.
With the help of Daozi, Hong Xiuquan took two steps into the Sun Palace, then suddenly stopped, half turned around, and said to Yang Xiuqing, Feng Yunshan, Luo Yaoguo and others who were ready to send him off: "I am going to be a saint now. The future military and national affairs will be discussed and handled by Shan, Qing, Guo, Guimeifu, Zheng, Da, Gan, Yihuang, Rigang and Seventh Sister! On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the kings of the council should go to the Sun Palace to report important matters.

In addition, Ganbao, Yihuang, and Rigang were all crowned kings!"

"Your Highness obeys your command! Your Highness respectfully wishes the King of Heaven a long live!"

After hearing Hong Xiuquan's words, Yang Xiuqing, Feng Yunshan and Luo Yaoguo all bowed in greeting.

Hong Xiuquan ignored them and let Daozi support him as he walked towards the main entrance of the Sun Palace.

Seeing Hong Xiuquan's back disappear into the depths of the hall, Luo Yaoguo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom finally took the first and most crucial step in its transformation into a republic - Hong Xiuquan's theocracy and royal power were both put into a "cage"!
Moreover, it did not lose face, did not hurt harmony, and did not even damage the authority of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's central government - the villain was Ji Du, and the kings were merely following Ji Du's orders and sidelining the Heavenly King!

This step is absolutely perfect!
Luo Yaoguo even admired his own ability to fool people!

But now is not the time to celebrate, we need to take this step firmly.

Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo picked up the microphone and waved to Zeng Jiumei, asking her to hold the speaker high. Then he loudly said to the tens of thousands of heavenly male and female saint soldiers who had not yet fully reacted to the change of "the king of heaven becoming a sage": "His Majesty the King of Heaven has decreed that he will be a sage and a ruler, and practice the great way of making the world public. From now on, all military and national affairs will be discussed by the kings and the Seventh Princess. On the first and fifteenth of every month, the Sun Palace will report to Hong Rengan, Hu Yihuang, and Qin Rigang to be crowned kings!"

Finally, some of the holy warriors of the Kingdom of Heaven reacted and took the lead in raising their arms and shouting, "Long live the Heavenly King, the Heavenly King is wise!"

Then, more people followed suit and cheered the loudest.

Tianjing City, Wu Wang Mansion. Now the Heavenly King has been locked in a cage and treated as a saint, just enjoying his life, but Luo Yaoguo, Feng Yunshan, Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui and the other four living fathers have a lot to consider.

So on the afternoon of the day when the "King of Heaven was put into the cage", the four living fathers gathered together for a meeting in the Prince of Wu's Mansion.

"Fourth brother, your brother-in-law, the higher-ups are a little unhappy with you two for always speaking for Father and Brother! Can we not bother them anymore in the future? Things are different now. We have half of the country, people's hearts have been united, and we have real money to reward our contributions. It's not appropriate to do that anymore, right?"

Having just put Hong Xiuquan's theocracy in a cage in the morning, Luo Yaoguo struck while the iron was hot in the afternoon, using the words of "the higher-ups" to confiscate the theocracy of Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui!

We have to take away their divine power!
Without their divine authority, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would be a "kingdom of God" rather than a republic.

Moreover, the nine princes and one princess could not discuss politics.

Is it reasonable to perform shamanism in the parliament?

When Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui heard this, their faces darkened. They wanted to protest, but then they remembered that Luo Yaoguo really was "a god above" and that they were just fooling people, and they immediately lost their confidence.

"Fourth brother, dear brother-in-law, this is what the higher-ups mean!"

Feng Yunshan also believed in "the above" without a doubt. Amoxicillin and ibuprofen liquid could not be fake. They were truly the miracle drugs that pulled him back from the gates of hell!
He also witnessed Luo Yaoguo's descent from the sky with his own eyes.

Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui remained silent, neither opposing nor agreeing, and looked unwilling.

If they don't perform the shaman dance, what about Luo Yaoguo?

He has a telescope and can contact the higher-ups at any time!

Doesn't the highest power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom belong to Luo Yaoguo and Ji Du behind him?
How does this sound like Ji Du launching a coup to seize power from Hong Xiuquan?
Seeing the two of them looking unwilling, Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "How about this: Don't speak for Father Tian or Brother Tian in Tianjing City, and don't do it in front of me and my third brother. My third brother and I will just pretend we didn't see it. Is that okay?"

"Okay!" Xiao Chaogui was the first to relax. He didn't have too many ideas about the Heavenly Kingdom's central government. It was enough for him to continue to be the King of the West who dominated one side.

"Okay!" Yang Xiuqing stroked his sparse beard and nodded slightly, then asked Luo Yaoguo, "What should we do next? Are there any instructions from above?"

"Have!"

Luo Yaoguo nodded and continued to pretend that it was God's will, "The intention of the higher-ups is to establish a republic! The ten kings plus my seventh sister, a total of eleven people, will form a meeting of kings to draft a constitution, and then the military and the people will elect representatives to go to Tianjing to discuss state affairs, and the constitution we draft will be passed by the people's meeting. From now on, we will rule the country according to the constitution, and no longer use magic to rule the country! Third brother, fourth brother, and your brother-in-law, what do you think?"

Feng Yunshan nodded and said, "Since that's what the higher-ups want, let's do it!"

Yang Xiuqing frowned and asked, "How will the meeting of eleven kings discuss matters? Are all eleven people equal?"

Xiao Chaogui said, "It's not appropriate for eleven people to sit on an equal footing, right? Besides, how can we kings who have established palaces outside take care of both ends? And, what about our fiefdoms?"

Although Feng Yunshan did not raise any objections, he frowned and looked at Luo Yaoguo.

Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "Of course, eleven people cannot sit on equal terms. How about we, the four of us and the Heavenly King, be the principals, and the other six be the vice-principals. The principals can have two votes each, and the vice-principals can have one vote each, how about that?"
