The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 419 This is not a spanking of the king, it is digging up the roots of the monarchy! (Please subscribe, please vote)
Seeing the arms raised high in the arena, Hong Tianwang's heart "stomped". His power was over! His divine power and secular power were all taken away by that hypocritical and cunning brother Ji Du, who was always high and mighty, and Ji Du's lackeys - Luo Yaoguo, Xiao Chaogui, and Yang Xiuqing!
Even if his throne has not been taken away for the time being, his divine and political power will be lost sooner or later, and it will be extremely difficult for him to make a comeback in the future.

Because he is different from those founding emperors in history who are good at fighting, cruel and cunning, and good at winning people's hearts. He is not very capable in all aspects. The only thing he is good at is to dance the gods, relying on saying that he has gods in heaven! What the Heavenly Father is his father, the Heavenly Brother is his brother, and the Holy Mother is his mother, so he gathered a large group of younger brothers to kill the Qing demons and open the Heavenly Kingdom. But his own ability is so poor. Compared with the prophet in the early seventh century, it is simply a world of difference. As a result, the supreme divine power that should have belonged to him steadily was usurped by Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was officially opened. However, he at least retained the third divine power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, plus the righteous status of a secular monarch.

As long as Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui did not play tricks of pretending to be God the Father or God the Brother, his third divine authority and the righteous reputation of a secular monarch would be the greatest in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Therefore, King Hong always felt that he still had a chance to turn the tables. As long as he could kill Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui, who were superior to him in theocracy, and Luo Yaoguo, who came later to take over, or simply deprive them of their theocracy, wouldn't he be able to take back the power that originally belonged to him?

But with this show of hands vote at the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's National Assembly, he was convicted of "accidentally injuring his brother" with the Spear of Langnuski, and his righteous status as a secular monarch and the third divine authority of the Heavenly Kingdom were all gone in an instant.

Because the National People's Congress voted to convict Hong Tianwang, it was equivalent to clearly declaring that the National People's Congress had the highest righteousness of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! And the crime of "accidentally injuring the Heavenly Brother" meant that he had lost the support of the Heavenly Father and the Heavenly Brother. His divine power was naturally greatly reduced. Compared with Luo Yaoguo who possessed the Spear of Langnuski and the Tongtian Mirror, it was far worse.

Now the righteousness of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was returned to the National People's Congress, the divine power was returned to Luo Yaoguo, and the military power was divided among the kings of the Heavenly Kingdom. Hong Tianwang was completely reduced to a puppet. Without the righteousness, divine power, and military power, how could he turn things around?
Luo Yaoguo looked at the distraught Hong Tianwang, trying hard to hold back his smile, and pretended to be respectful and said to him: "Tianwang, the National Congress will say that you are guilty! But don't worry too much, you are just an accomplice who accidentally hurt Tian brother, the main culprit is Maria..."

In fact, even if the vote failed, Luo Yaoguo had almost achieved his goal. Because he could use voting to determine whether Hong Tianwang was guilty, which was equivalent to declaring that the righteousness of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom belonged to the National People's Congress, not Hong Tianwang.

As for the supreme divine power in heaven, it had already belonged to Luo Yaoguo when Maria handed the Spear of Langnusky, which had severely injured Xiao Chaogui, who was possessed by Ji Du, to Luo Yaoguo!

However, if the vote failed, Hong Tianwang still had a slight chance to turn the tables. But if the vote passed, it would mean that the most powerful Wu Wang Group, Dong Wang Group, and Xi Wang Group in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would join forces to beat Hong Tianwang, and at the same time, dig up the roots of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's monarchy.

Even if Hong Tianwang still clung to the throne, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had actually become a United States where the Conference of Kings and the National People's Congress had the final say.

If King Hong wants to turn the tables, he must not only seize the divine power that belongs to Luo Yaoguo and the righteous reputation that belongs to the National People's Congress, but also seize the military power of so many generals from the three major groups of King Wu, King East, and King West.

If he had this ability, why would he have ended up in this situation?

"You, what do you want to do?" Hong Tianwang screamed in fear. His voice was like a frightened little animal, panic-stricken and a little crazy. "I am the son of Heavenly Father. I want to talk to Heavenly Father and to the Virgin Mary. You, you fallen angel, what do you want to do?"

"Heavenly King, it's not what my ninth brother wants to do, it's the National People's Congress that has convicted you!" A hoarse and low voice took over the conversation, and it was Xiao Chaogui who was pale due to excessive blood loss. Xiao Chaogui suffered heavy losses this time. Not only was he stabbed in the shoulder by Hong Tianwang with the Spear of Langnuski, but the power of the Heavenly Brother's possession was also taken away by Luo Yaoguo, who took advantage of the situation.

However, he didn't dare to go against Luo Yaoguo now, because he knew very well what his "divine power" was, and Ji Du had never possessed him at all!
Ji Du's real "spokesperson" in the human world has always been Luo Yaoguo. Luo Yaoguo should have taken away his endorsement rights long ago, but he did it now, and also left him a decent enough step. What else could he be dissatisfied with?

Although he was filled with hatred when Luo Yaoguo "seized power" for him, when they were resting in a small building outside the Great Hall of the People later, Hong Xuanjiao analyzed the situation carefully for him, and he knew what to choose.

Now he could only stand on Luo Yaoguo's side, because if he didn't support Luo Yaoguo, Hong Tianwang would still regard him as his mortal enemy. You know, Hong Tianwang hated not Luo Yaoguo but Tianxiong Ji Du the most! And he, Xiao Chaogui, was Tianxiong's "spokesperson" in the world...

What’s more crucial is that there is no god in heaven for Xiao Chaogui, but there really is a Ji Du behind Luo Yaoguo!
"Brother-in-law, I really didn't mean it. I, I..." King Hong saw the angry eyes of Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao, and he felt a chill in his heart.

Just now he wanted to kill Xiao Chaogui with a spear!
"I know," Xiao Chaogui said in a hoarse voice, "So, Your Majesty, you are at most an accomplice in the accidental injury of Ji Du... Then how was Maria, the principal offender, punished?"

Yang Xiuqing cleared his throat and replied seriously: "Sixty strokes of the cane. Maria is the Virgin Mary's person after all, we can't be too harsh!"

Luo Yaoguo followed Yang Xiuqing's words, turned his head and looked at Xiao Chaogui, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, these sixty strokes of the cane were decided by my fourth brother and I. It's a good punishment, right?"

Xiao Chaogui was so scared that he dared not complain about it! He knew that his identity as the spokesperson of Ji Du was fake, and Maria was a real disciple of the Virgin Mary! He was wondering: Who would dare to hit her with a stick? But he quickly responded: "Not a small amount, not a small amount, enough!" At this moment, Hong Xuanjiao suddenly said: "How many strokes of the stick should the king receive?"

This question stunned Luo Yaoguo, Yang Xiuqing, and Xiao Chaogui. Before they could open their mouths, Hong Tianwang jumped up with his eyes wide open as he stared at Hong Xuanjiao fiercely: "You shameless woman, what are you yelling about? Do you still want to hit me? Don't you know how much you are worth? How did you get the name of a goddess?"

Hong Xuanjiao, the daughter of God, is of course a Western product. As for how she got this position, King Hong knows it very well.

But Hong Xuanjiao was not afraid of the threat from Hong Tianwang at all. She lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Tianwang, I'll tell you the truth, I have slept with Tianxiong!"

"What? You and him..." When Hong Tianwang heard this, he was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze. After coming to his senses, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Chaogui. Wow, Xiao Chaogui's face was pale and there seemed to be a little green on his forehead. It seemed that it really happened! Hong Tianwang didn't dare to make any more noises.

Xiao Chaogui was accused of being cuckolded for no reason, and the flames in his heart suddenly rose. When he thought about how he was seriously injured by Hong Tianwang, he had no place to vent his anger. He gritted his teeth and said viciously: "The principal offender will get 60 strokes of the cane, and the accomplice will get half the amount, 30 strokes!"

"You, you dare!" Upon hearing this, Hong Tianwang yelled at the top of his voice, "I am the son of God, who dares to touch a hair of mine!"

"I dare you!" Hong Xuanjiao rolled up her sleeves, her eyes wide open, and shouted, "I'll fight you! I'm the daughter of Heavenly Father, and Brother Heaven is my brother. I'll teach you a lesson on his behalf, and it's all legitimate!"

"You, you..." Hong Tianwang was so anxious that he jumped up and down, pointing at Hong Xuanjiao, and his words were incoherent. In panic, he turned to Feng Yunshan for help: "Mountain compatriot, please say something, I am the son of God!"

Feng Yunshan looked at the scene, sighed helplessly, and bowed to Luo Yaoguo: "Ninth brother, isn't thirty strokes of the cane a bit too much?"

Luo Yaoguo knew that he had to give Feng Yunshan face, so he nodded immediately: "It is indeed too much, how about...cutting it in half?"

In fact, there is no difference between thirty strokes, fifteen strokes, or even one stroke. Even if Hong Xuanjiao hated Hong Tianwang so much, she didn't dare to kill him. But no matter if it was real or fake, once this incident happened, Hong Tianwang's divine power would be trampled underfoot, and his prestige would plummet to the bottom!
Feng Yunshan clasped his fists towards Luo Yaoguo again and said, "A little less... ten times, ninth brother."

Luo Yaoguo readily agreed: "Okay, since Third Brother has spoken, it will be ten."

"No, not even ten times!" Upon hearing this, Hong Tianwang protested loudly and tried to run away. But how could he escape? Hong Xuanjiao was quick-witted and rushed forward, stretched out her foot and tripped Hong Tianwang, who fell to the ground with a plop.

The two loyal women Daozi and Bian Sanniang beside Hong Tianwang saw that the situation was not good and were about to rush over to protect Hong Tianwang, but they were stopped by Xiao Chaogui's four sedan bearers. These four people were not vegetarians, they had fought on the battlefield and were all very skilled, blocking the road tightly.

Hong Xuanjiao was not willing to give Hong Tianwang a chance to get up. She strode forward and stepped on Hong Tianwang's lower back, like a female general, and shouted, "Bring the board!"

There was no ready-made board, but this did not bother them. The sharp-eyed people immediately pulled a pole from the sedan chair where Xiao Chaogui sat and handed it to Hong Xuanjiao. Hong Xuanjiao was not vague either. She raised the pole and hit Hong Tianwang's butt with a "snap" sound, shouting at the top of her voice: "The first hit..."

While Hong Xuanjiao was hitting Hong Tianwang with the stick, Luo Yaoguo was not idle either. He turned around and asked Zeng Jiumei to fetch another long pole, then strode towards Maria, who was lying on the ground with her butt sticking up, with a smile on his face: "Maria, you are a saint, it is not appropriate for others to hit you with the stick, let me do it, I promise to be gentle."

Maria also cooperated, raised her butt higher, and said delicately, "Yes, please."

"Okay, first hit!" Luo Yaoguo swung the bamboo pole, aimed at Maria's butt, raised it high, and was about to hit her...
