The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 416: Hong Xiuquan, do you know your crime? (Request subscription, request votes)
I am "ascending to heaven on the spot" and becoming a "god" in one step!

Luo Yaoguo looked at the huge crowd in the Great Hall, who were kneeling down to him like dumplings, cheering at the top of their lungs, and he felt a mixture of emotions. He was so excited, but why was he so excited? In his hand, he was holding the Spear of Langnusky, which symbolized the supreme authority of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Although it was probably a fake and could not contain any magical power, everyone regarded it as the "scepter" granted to Luo Yaoguo by God the Father and the Virgin Mary!

Isn't this a perfect scene of "crowned as a god"? He suddenly became the top figure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and his words were the golden rule. With this "divine power", he could mobilize the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's thousands of troops and mountains of gold and silver with just a wave of his hand, suppress all the voices that sang against him, and push the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom towards industrialization, modernization, united states, and imperialism.

Anyone who has experienced industrialization, whether old or young, knows that the biggest difficulty in promoting modernization and industrialization in a feudal, conservative and backward country is not the lack of capital, technology, resources, etc., but the lack of execution!

Even if those in power really want progress, few people below will listen to them. The lonely people at the top want modernization and industrialization, all of which are good ideas, but the people below want to go backwards, close the country to the outside world, and sweep out all foreign things.

In many cases, the lonely man mentioned above is surrounded by a lot of conservatives. If you want to push the country forward, you have to ask them whether they agree or not first.

Therefore, in history, those industrial countries that have risen late often go through a period of time when their leaders have strong execution capabilities, and Luo Yaoguo now has the opportunity to possess god-level execution capabilities!

But on the other hand, Luo Yaoguo was helpless. Why was he helpless? That was because he had pushed for the convening of the National People's Congress not to make himself the number one living god of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. His original intention was to "cut off the firewood" of theocracy and make the National People's Congress the "throne" of power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He thought that when Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui and other "old gods" died one day, he could smoothly transform the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom into a United States without an emperor or gods. At worst, he could create a constitutional monarchy of the Chinese Empire, let Hong Xiuquan's children and grandchildren become "lying kings", and he himself would be the prime minister, which would be at the forefront of the times.

Who could have expected that Maria, a disciple of the Virgin Mary who was even more superstitious than Hong Xiuquan, would appear halfway through. She and Hong Xiuquan acted as fiercely as tigers and turned the serious National People's Congress into a "Conference of Conferring Deities". In the end, Luo Yaoguo himself was pushed to the "throne of god" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom by Maria, a disciple of the Virgin Mary, either intentionally or unintentionally.

Alas, it seems that some things cannot be advanced too far, and must be connected with the "ground" of national conditions. If you want to survive in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, you must be able to perform magic. If you should retreat with the times, then retreat with the times, just treat it as a "tactical detour", save your strength, wait for the right opportunity, and then rush forward!
Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo slowly put down the spear of Longnukis in his hand, then waved to Zeng Jiumei, asking her to quickly bring the "magic speaker" over.

As for the people who were cheering in the meeting hall, when they saw Zeng Jiumei holding the "magic speaker" next to Luo Yaoguo, they knew that the new number one god of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was about to speak, and they all shut up immediately, tilting their necks, looking at Luo Yaoguo eagerly like a group of elementary school students waiting to listen to the teacher tell a story. The Great Hall of the People, which was originally as noisy as a vegetable market, suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

However, Luo Yaoguo did not speak in a hurry, but walked to the side of Xiao Chaogui who had just been stabbed by the spear with a concerned look. He looked down and saw that the condition of this King Xiao Xi was quite serious. There was a large pool of blood. His originally dark face was now pale due to the blood. His eyelids were half open and half closed, and his breathing became rapid. The two medical officers had already replaced Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xuanjiao, and were busy trying to stop the bleeding and bandage Xiao Chaogui. Hong Xuanjiao was crying beside him, with tears dripping down her face. It was so heartbreaking to see her. Yang Xiuqing was comforting him with kind words.

Seeing Luo Yaoguo coming over, Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xuanjiao hurried forward to greet him. Yang Xiuqing said, "Ninth brother, you see your brother-in-law's injury is not light, the blood has flowed out at least a large basin!"

Hong Xuanjiao cried so sadly, she sobbed and said: "It was all because of the Langnusky spear that pierced him. That was a magic weapon from heaven. Even the Holy Mother's own son Ji Du couldn't bear it and was killed by the spear. My Chaogui is just a mortal body, how could he bear this? Ninth brother, you are now a holy angel holding a divine spear, you have to uphold justice for Chaogui!"

As for Hong Xiuquan, who was being supported by Bian Sanniang and Daozi like a rotten wood, he became furious like a cat whose tail was stepped on when he heard what Hong Xuanjiao said. He immediately glared at Hong Xuanjiao fiercely, with a look that was both ferocious and terrified, and cursed, "What do you want to do, you bitch?"

Hong Xuanjiao was not a pushover either. She immediately gave him a more vicious look. Just as she was about to retort, Yang Xiuqing next to her spoke grimly, "Ninth brother, when your brother-in-law was pierced by the spear of Langnuski, Brother Tian was attached to him!"

"Mr. Yang, what did you say?" Hong Xiuquan was shocked and angry, his face turned green. He thought to himself, I am the king of heaven, the second son of the heavenly father, stabbing Xiao Chaogui is nothing. But if I stab my heavenly brother Ji Du, who came down to earth, that would be a big sin!
Luo Yaoguo's mind was like a mirror, and of course he understood what Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xuanjiao meant. These two people, first of all, were expressing their stance on today's National People's Congress incident - they stood on Luo Yaoguo's side! Because they all felt that it was not only Xiao Chaogui who was injured by Hong Xiuquan's flying spear, but also the Heavenly Brother Ji Du attached to Xiao Chaogui! Secondly, they also expressed the attitude of "mutual protection between the East and the West". Although Luo Yaoguo has now become the number one god in the Kingdom of Heaven, he cannot renege on the benefits he promised to the East and West Princes' Palaces before, and the East and West Princes must continue to maintain their status as vassal kings who obey orders but not declarations.

Luo Yaoguo nodded to Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xuanjiao, then like a magic trick, he took out the Tongtian Mirror that could communicate with the upper world and shook it in front of Yang Xiuqing. An old man in a white robe, white hair and beard, with piercing eyes and holding a magic staff suddenly appeared on the screen of the Tongtian Mirror.

When Yang Xiuqing saw it, he exclaimed, "It's God the Father!" After that, he fell down and bowed down with a plop. Hong Xiujiao did not hesitate and knelt down facing the Tongtian Mirror in Luo Yaoguo's hand.

Looking at Hong Xiuquan, who was standing a little further away, his face was pale with fear and full of panic, as if a disaster was about to happen. He stared at Luo Yaoguo as he put the Tongtian Mirror to his ear, and then nodded frequently like a chicken pecking at rice, and kept saying "OK", "OK", "yes", and "yes" in his mouth.

"What did Heavenly Father say?" Yang Xiuqing, who was still kneeling on the ground, saw Luo Yaoguo put down the Tongtian Mirror, so he stood up and asked impatiently.

Luo Yaoguo glanced at Hong Xiuquan who was standing next to him with a look of fear, then calmly put away the Tongtian Mirror, took the microphone from Zeng Jiumei, cleared his throat, and announced loudly: "The Heavenly Father just told me through the Tongtian Mirror that Brother Ji Du was injured and needs to recuperate. He will not come down to earth again in the next 100 years. The Heavenly Father will also have to expend his mana to heal Brother Ji Du, and he will not have the energy to come down to earth again for at least 50 years!"

Well, without actually making a phone call, Luo Yaoguo confiscated the supreme power of Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, and Ji Duyan!
When Yang Xiuqing heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and the one eye that could still see seemed to be spitting fire.

Looking at Xiao Chaogui, whose wound had been bandaged and who was being moved onto a stretcher by two medical officers, he did not make a sound, but turned his head while enduring the pain and cast an angry look at Luo Yaoguo.

Luo Yaoguo smiled at them, then his face darkened. He glanced at Hong Xiuquan who was standing there and Maria who was still lying on the podium with a knife-like gaze, and announced loudly: "The Heavenly Father also said that the matter of Ji Du being injured by the Longnusky spear cannot be let go. The National People's Congress of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom must give an explanation to Brother Ji Du!"

"Give Brother Tian an explanation?" Hong Xiuquan glared at Luo Yaoguo, "What do you want to do?"

Luo Yaoguo said: "It's not what I want to do, it's the Heavenly Father who asked the National Assembly to publicly try you and Junior Sister Maria!"

"I, I am the Heavenly King!" Hong Xiuquan jumped up in anger, "Luo Yaoguo, give me the Tongtian Mirror quickly, I want to see the Father in Heaven!"

Luo Yaoguo said coldly: "Heavenly King, Heavenly Father does not want to see you. Heavenly Father wants the representatives of the National People's Congress to judge whether you and Maria are guilty. Heavenly King, Maria, are you two willing to obey the order and stand trial?"
