"With pride and laughter, I ride the high seas, my blood burning hotter than the sun. My courage is forged from iron, my bones are steel, my heart as vast as the heavens, and my vision stretches far beyond the horizon."
"Yang Xiuqing, who was walking in the big tent, suddenly heard the loud and high-pitched singing of 'King of Song' Xiao Chaogui."
Indeed, Xiao Chaogui's voice is not inferior to that of Alan Tam. This is a super loud voice that can be heard by everyone in an army of tens of thousands. Moreover, there is a touch of regal aura in his speech.
Even Alan Tam falls short of this, for it is Xiao Chaogui, the Western King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who is truly a brave man capable of defeating the Qing demons!
"Is it your sister-in-law's husband? Are you singing?"
Yang Xiuqing loudly inquired.
"It's me! Hahaha, Fourth Brother, what do you think of my singing?"
The singing of "A Man Should Strive for Self-Improvement" suddenly stops, and Xiao Chaogui's voice is heard immediately.
"Brother, don't be too proud of yourself. You sing much worse than the Heavenly Brother and need more practice!"
Next came Hong Xuanjiao's voice, revealing that the couple had arrived together.
Yang Xiuqing quickly turned around and personally walked over to pull aside the curtain, inviting the couple into his own tent.
"Fourth Brother, were you in such a hurry to invite my brother over for some urgent matter? My brother still needs to practice singing for another hour today, and then he also has to oversee the practice of the three hundred singing soldiers below!"
Hong Xuanjiao sat down and immediately complained that Yang Xiuqing had disturbed her husband Xiao Chaogui's practice of singing.
Yang Xiuqing, hearing this, was a bit at a loss for words: "In-law Brother, Sixth sister-in-law, how serious are you about singing? In-law Brother, you are the Western King of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, not the King of Songs!"
"Hahaha," Xiao Chaogui laughed heartily, "Brother Four, you know, being the King of Songs is actually pretty good!"
"How safe is it to be the King of Songs?"
And Luo Tianshi has already "calculated" that he is destined to become the King of Wuhan's three cities. Then why should he fight for his life now? Just lie down and sing.
"Exactly!" Hong Xuanjiao also laughed heartily, "Brother Four, my husband was reluctant to practice singing at first, but the more he practices, the more he feels the song has energy, it's really uplifting! If both male and female soldiers can sing this song together before a battle, it's sure to boost morale to the highest!"
Xiao Chaogui nodded, "That's right, Fourth Brother. If you don't have anything urgent to take care of, I'll go back to practice singing."
Yang Xiuqing, seeing that Xiao Chaogui was about to leave, did not waste any more time on idle chatter and directly got to the point: "In-law Brother, please don't rush off to practice singing. Our dear angel has been acting up recently!"
"What's wrong with Brother Eight?" Hong Xuanjiao, upon hearing Yang Xiuqing's remark, seemed to show some interest.
Xiao Chaogui, on the other hand, showed no interest in it.
Yang Xiuqing swept his gaze over the couple, saying indifferently: "He captured the city of Daozhou!"
"That's a good thing!" Xiao Chaogui smiled sincerely, "With Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother assisting the Heavenly King, our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be in good hands. I'll just keep singing now, and in the future, I'll defend Wuhan!"
Yang Xiuqing looked at Hong Xuanjiao again, and saw that this mother fox was also nodding repeatedly, agreeing with her husband: "Yes, my brother-in-law is now singing purely for the heavens to hear. In the future, he will focus on guarding the Western Gate of Jingling Little Paradise. As for assisting the Heavenly King, let Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother take care of it together."
Yang Xiuqing, seeing that both Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao were determined to "lie flat," knew it would be difficult to make either of them the vanguard.
However, he did not want to share power with Luo YaoGuo together — Luo YaoGuo was the genuine celestial being, while he was the "false god"!
If Luo Tianshi were alone, Yang Xiuqing would not be so wary of him. However, Luo YaoGuo is now bringing together a large group of people!
Would Luo YaoGuo then expose Yang Xiuqing in order to seize absolute power?
Thinking of this, Yang Xiuqing looked grave as he addressed Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao, "In-law Brother, Sixth sister-in-law. We are both from Guangxi, and now Eighth Brother is favoring people from Guangdong and Hunan, as well as those from the Tien Ti Hui background!"
Additionally, Eighth Brother has his uncle Nan King with him, who is also from Guangdong. They have a large number of Guangdong and Hunan Tien Ti Hui background. If they take control, will there still be a place for our old Guangxi brothers in the Heavenly Kingdom?
Moreover, In-law Brother, Sixth sister-in-law, our relationship with the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother, can it be compared to that of the Third Brother and Eighth Brother with those two?"
Xiao Chaogui listened and his thick eyebrows wrinkled up, as if he had been moved by Yang Xiuqing's words: "Brother Four, I didn't really think about it that way!"
Hong Xuanjiao also furrowed her eyebrows: "Brother Four, but he is still an angel!"
Yang Xiuqing said, "But the Heavenly King is the true saint on earth. Eighth Brother has also offended the true saint on earth this time!"
"Offended the Heavenly King?" Xiao Chaogui secretly pondered, "If the Heavenly King is offended, what can we do? We have offended him many times ourselves!"
Yang Xiuqing continued, "He has changed the title of the Heavenly Father and God of the Supreme Emperor, adding the words 'Hao Tian' (Celestial Emperor) after the Heavenly Father!"
"What?"
"It's true."
Both Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao looked shocked.
Yang Xiuqing continued: "He also arbitrarily changed the system of male and female camps and altered the rule that all things belong to the Supreme Master. Compared to changing the title of the Heavenly Father, these are minor matters. This change in the title of the Heavenly Father is." He pondered for a moment and slapped a big hat on Luo YaoGuo's head, "to commit treachery and usurpance!"
Usurping the throne and taking over the father?
Both Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao were silent for a moment, but after thinking carefully, they both felt that the charges against Luo YaoGuo that Yang Xiuqing had leveled seemed to be somewhat reasonable!
This Hong Xianggen is "asleep, can still sit on the throne," why? Just because he has a father in heaven!
This "father" is everything to Hong Xiuquan.
If this "father" is taken away by someone else, becoming someone else's "father," how can Hong Xiuquan win just by lying there?
"Not at all," Xiao Chaogui shook his head, "It's just the addition of 'Hao Tian'?"
Hong Xuanjiao also said, "Maybe that's the honorific title of the Heavenly Father in heaven."
Yang Xiuqing coldly smiled: "See, he's already starting to usurp. The Heavenly King's father in heaven is called 'Shao Hua', while Luo the angel has ever mentioned the name of Shao Hua? Now, he has taken the title of 'Hao Tian God' How well do you two know this 'Hao Tian God'?"
"Of course we know!" Xiao Chaogui nodded.
"That's right," Hong Xuanjiao said, "That's our God of the Chinese!"
Yang Xiuqing said in a cold voice: "The Heavenly King's Heavenly Father is the Western God!"
Ah.
Now Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao both understood.
This is a dispute between the "Western God" and the "Native God"! It can indeed be taken to the height of "usurping the throne and taking over the father".
"No, no, it can't lead to a civil war, can it?" Xiao Chaogui suddenly asked about this issue and shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, absolutely not!"
Hong Xuanjiao immediately chimed in: "It's just a name. Even ordinary people have many names, such as names, pseudonyms, and nicknames, all kinds of them. How can the Heavenly Father be any different? The atmosphere can't be hurt too much!"
The words of Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao were actually a statement — that there should be no civil war.
Xiao Chaogui's "God" can't jump over Yang Xiuqing, and his troops are not as numerous as Yang Xiuqing's. However, his First and Second Armies are both composed of Zijingshan miners and charcoal burners, all of whom are backbone troops with particularly strong combat power.
Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao strongly opposed a civil war, and Yang Xiuqing did not consider this direction - he is a person who cares about the overall situation and would not have done so if he were not concerned about the bigger picture. Otherwise, he would not have helped Hong Xiuquan during the Taiping Rebellion in Beijing.
At present, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can only be said to be temporarily out of danger, and it is far from the time for a civil war.
Luo YaoGuo's descent from heaven was witnessed by tens of thousands of people, and the various "miracles" were truly astonishing. If a civil war were to break out with him, it's really hard to say what the outcome would be.
However, this opportunity cannot be easily missed. They have to compete with Hong Xiuquan and show off their abilities!
Yang Xiuqing thought to himself: "It's always better to make him reveal all his cards!"
Having made up his mind, Yang Xiuqing looked coldly at Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao and asked, "If we can't harm too much harmony, then how should we fight with him?"
Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao looked at each other and both showed a face of difficulty.
Yang Xiuqing saw that the two were reluctant to speak, his face turned an even greener shade, and it looked quite frightening. The atmosphere inside the tent grew increasingly gloomy, and in the end, it was Xiao Chaogui who sighed and said: "Let's just beat his backside. Make him apologize first, then beat him a bit, and then let's turn the page on this issue how about that?"
