Daoguang's will seemed unreasonable, but Zai Quan, Mu Zhang'a and other four were not outstanding. After all, they all came back to their minds. The fourth prince and the sixth prince were not the same. The two had completely different attitudes towards Yuanqi. Yuanqi was also crucial to the court. Whether Yuanqi's shopkeeper Yishi was content to enter Beijing was directly related to the court's attitude towards Yuanqi, and of course it directly determined the candidate for the Qing Dynasty crown prince.

The sixth prince Yixin and Yi Zhizu are quite close to each other and have always strongly supported Yuan Qi. If Yi Zhizu enters Beijing and serves Yi Xin as the crown prince, it will not only make Yi Zhizu safe, but also make the king and his ministers united together, and work together to create a prosperous era.

If Yi Jingzuo does not enter the capital, it is said to be disinterested with the court, and to be more serious, it is that he has the intention of being unjust, so he should naturally establish the fourth prince Yizhu, who has always opposed Yuan Qi.

The four of them were quite moved. No one expected that Yi Zhizu's attitude could directly influence the Qing Dynasty's reserve position. I am afraid that Yi Zhizu himself would never have imagined it. From this point of view, Daoguang's emphasis on Yuan Qi was also extreme.

Daoguang was half lying on the kang, as if he was worried, staring at Mu Zhang's seal on the three decrees. After Mu Zhang's handing over them one by one, he tried hard to hand over the three decrees to the three decrees Mu Zhang, Zai Quan, and Pan Shien. Mu Zhang'er glanced at him. The decrees in his hand were for the sixth prince Yixin to inherit the throne. It seems that Pan Shien'er was the fourth prince Yizhu who inherited the throne, and Zai Quan should have the most complete decrees. It seems that Daoguang is really sober.

After doing all this, Daoguang seemed to be much more relaxed. He slowly closed his eyes. Mu Zhang'a and the other two dared not show up. They knelt quietly in front of the kang and waited. The four of them knew in their hearts that Daoguang did not ask Kowtow, obviously there was something to explain.

Sure enough, after a little rest, Daoguang opened his eyes and said slowly: "Xuan Yizhu, Yixin meets you."

After waiting for Yizhu Yi, he walked in and knelt down. Daoguang said slowly: "Yuanqi has a strong fortune. However, shareholders are spread across the southeast, and there are hundreds of thousands of employees under his name. In recent years, disaster relief has been frequently invited to win people's hearts. The new expedition to the Southeast Ocean is beyond the reach of the court. The year is not good, disasters are endless, the national treasury is empty, and the place is unstable. It is especially not suitable for the south of the Yangtze River to move troops.

For Yuan Qi, we should be more pacified and more encouraging. Unless he openly causes trouble, it is not appropriate to eliminate it. The court must continue to implement military reform and train new troops to prevent accidents."

Daoguang's decree was specifically targeted by Yi Zhizu's failure to enter Beijing. The fourth prince Yizhu inherited the throne. He was worried that Yizhu would succeed to the throne and could not wait to eliminate Yuanqi. He had analyzed Yuanqi in detail before summoning two brothers, but he was very worried. He once again reminded him in front of a group of important officials that even if Yizhu succeeded to the throne, he would not have the intention to eliminate Yuanqi in the short term.

After hearing this, Yizhu was secretly happy and hurriedly kowtowed: "My son and I will obey the order." Yixin also kowtowed.

Zai Quan, Pan Shien, Lin Zexu and others were originally worried that Yi Zhizu would not enter Beijing, and Yi Zhu would attack Yi Zhizu and force him to rebel against Yuan Qi. After hearing the decree, they all breathed a sigh of relief. This omission was finally made up. It seemed that Daoguang was very considerate and kowtowed in unison: "Weichen and others obey the order."

After a while, Daoguang spoke again: "The Guangxi Association Party has caused chaos, all due to disasters and people are living in poverty. Huguang is the granary of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are important places for financial resources, and they have suffered disasters for many years. The need to appease the court to show the court's kindness and exempt taxes from the disaster-stricken areas of the six provinces for one year."

This was the last government affairs that Daoguang had handled during his thirty years of reign. He hoped to stabilize Jiangnan and win the hearts of the people in Jiangnan. After serving for a few days, his continued high fever did not subside, he fell into a coma, and his condition deteriorated rapidly. On the 18th day of the first thirty year of Daoguang, Daoguang finally failed to wait for news from Guangzhou and left with infinite regrets.

It was only more than a month since Empress Dowager Xiaoherui was arrested. Daoguang passed away. Following the Daoguang decree, the news was strictly blocked inside and outside the Old Summer Palace, and it was not lost. It was not until the first day of the second month that the letter jointly signed by Guangzhou General Yixiang and Guangdong Governor Ye Mingchen arrived in the capital before officially announcing the world that the fourth son Yizhu inherited the throne and named the yen name Xianfeng.

Guangzhou, Leiyuan, Changle Bookstore.

Yi Zhizu put down the letter, stood up without saying a word and walked to the window to light a cigarette. Bao Shichen was surprised and took the letter and glanced a few times. The letter was written by Lin Zexu, which originally described the situation of Daoguang's death and Daoguang's will.

After pondering for a moment, Bao Shichen spoke: "Does the shopkeeper regretted losing the opportunity to go to the general and the prime minister?"

Yi Zhizu sighed lightly and shook his head slowly. He felt a little guilty in his heart, and he felt that he had misunderstood Daoguang. If what Lin Zexu said was true, Daoguang would still sincerely hope that he would enter Beijing to pay military service. Because he was suspicious, he missed an opportunity to influence or even change the Qing Dynasty in vain. If the Japanese devil Liu Yixin, who supported Yuan Qi and the Westernization Affairs, inherited the throne, might be much easier than the path he took now.

After a while of silence, he called out to the outside world: "Meilian."

Lin Meilian hurriedly walked in and said, "What are the instructions of the shopkeeper?"

"Go to the general account and ask Kong Jian'an." Yi Zhizuo said carefully: "The former emperor, Longzhu, held all the small and small semicolons of Yuanqi, and hung white banners and white lanterns. All the factories under Yuanqi's name will also handle this."

After Lin Meilian responded and stepped down, Yi Zhizu said: "Yi Zhu was named Xianfeng. Can you tell me what Xianfeng means?"

Bao Shichen said slowly: "Salty means universal, abundant, rich, and Xianfeng means rich, and the world means rich and well-fed."

The world is full of food and clothing? Emperor Xianfeng's wish is probably going to be vain. Yi Jingzu nodded without comment and smoked silently by the window. Bao Shichen glanced at him and said slowly: "Not whether what Lin Xiang said is true, just look at the fourth son who ultimately inherited the throne, which shows the late emperor's vigilance against the shopkeeper against Yuan Qi."

Yi Zhizu nodded in agreement. Daoguang's vigilance towards Yuan Qi was not unique, but it had already existed. Facing a business group that controlled strong financial resources and military strength, no one would be wary. This is a completely normal reaction. It is already quite good that Daoguang can do this.

"Since the fourth son inherited the throne, it is impossible for the court and Yuan Qi to restore the relationship that was before." Bao Shichen said carefully: "He is only twenty years old now, and he is in his prime and has a strong spirit. He will not act as he looks forward and think carefully like the previous emperor.

Even if what Lin Xiang said is true, the late emperor did have a will, and he tried to comfort and win over Yuan Qi more. His ultimate goal was to gain time and restore his vitality to the court. Sooner or later, he would take action against Yuan Qi."

After a pause, he continued: "As the saying goes, the emperor will be young and all the assistant ministers will be old. It is estimated that there will be some big movement in the capital. Pan Xiang is already old and will inevitably ask for retirement. It is unknown whether Xiang Lin can stay in the capital. The Taiping Army seems to be at the end of the road and may not attract the attention of the court.

Now that we have integrated the team, consolidated the throne, and wiped out the Taiping Army, we are very likely to target Yuan Qi. It is extremely rare for us to seize the opportunity during this period of time."

"Sir, it's reasonable." Yi Zhizuji said: "This period is indeed rare. We should make a good arrangement. However, although the Taiping Army is in trouble at the moment, it is not easy for the imperial army to wipe out the imperial army."

Seeing that he was still full of confidence in the Taiping Army, Bao Shichen couldn't help but smile, "Can the shopkeeper secretly sponsor the Taiping Army?"

"I want to fund it," Yi Zhizu said: "However, there are many checkpoints in Guangdong Water 6, and the inspection is very powerful. Even if you want to fund it, you can't fund it."

Bao Shichen glanced at him and said quietly: "Guangxi and Annan border."

"It is difficult to move from Annan to Guangxi. Moreover, since the court is already suspicious, it will definitely be prevented." Yi Zhizu smiled, "It is better to say that I have no confidence in the Green Camp than to say that I have confidence in the Qing camp. Although sir, the Taiping Army cannot be wiped out in the Zijing Mountains. It is expected that good news will come in more than a month."

The Taiping Army, which moved into the Zijing Mountains, relied on the favorable terrain to fight fiercely with the Qing army that was chasing closely. Xiang Rong, who took over as the admiral of Guangxi, attacked one after another with the active cooperation of the green camps of the four provinces. The more they fought, they gradually became familiar with Yang Xiuqing's combat style, and won consecutive victories in the Xinxu area, and the Taiping Army was defeated and retreated step by step.

Seeing Xiang Rong winning battles and exterminated the Taiping Army, the Qing generals were forced to fight against each other, and Ba Qingde, the Mongolian capital of the Inlaid White Banner who came to Guangxi, did not want Xiang Rong to compete for his achievements and began to constrain him blindly.

Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing seized the opportunity to lead the team to transfer again, and moved to Siwang, Pingnan County. Xiang Rong led his troops to chase after him and chased him to Guancun. Although it was still early, Xiang Rong saw that the clouds gathered and he was afraid of heavy rain, so he immediately ordered camp. Unexpectedly, the heavy rain fell as soon as possible, and all the baggage was wet, especially gunpowder.

Yang Xiuqing also knew that hand-to-hand combat was the weakness of the Qing army. Seeing such a good opportunity, he was not willing to miss it. Hou Yushi stopped and led his troops to charge back. A fierce hand-to-hand combat, annihilated more than 4,000 enemies, almost all the troops were wiped out. Xiang Rong's troops were rescued by a group of personal soldiers. Xiang Rong escaped with only a few hundred people, and all the baggage and weapons were captured by the Taiping Army.

The Battle of Guancun was the most glorious battle since the Taiping Army's uprising, and its significance was also significant. After this battle, the Taiping Army rushed out of the barren Zijing Mountains, smashed the Qing army's strategy of siege, blocking, and extermining the support, and exterminated the local area. The momentum was greatly boosted. The armed forces coming to join and the people who joined the society increased day by day. However, in just half a month, the number of church members increased to 80,000, the Taiping Army's troops reached 30,000, and there were a large number of firearms seized from the battle of Guancun.

The strength of the Taiping Army has increased greatly, and Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing have also increased their confidence and ambitions have expanded. They are not satisfied with being in the countryside, but are aiming at Yong'an Prefecture City.

Yong'an's mountains are environmentally friendly, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are not many defenders. The most important thing is that Luo Dagang has fought Yong'an before and is familiar with the terrain of Yong'an and the situation of defenders. He also has some old subordinates in Yong'an.

At this time, the Qing army was in civil strife. In the battle of Guancun, Xiang Rong almost completely destroyed his army and almost died. He was full of resentment and was disgusted to the Ulantai tribe, who was close to him but could not be saved. He was discouraged and began to passively avoid the war and instead took revenge on Ba Qingde, Ulantai, a large number of aides and generals involved in this civil strife and watched the Taiping Army grow rapidly.

The Taiping Army was divided into 6 waters and headed north. Luo Dagang contacted his old subordinates, cooperated inside and outside, defeated the defender Al Jinga, and easily occupied the Yong'an barrier water point, forcing Yong'an. Immediately, Wei Changhui led the main force of the Taiping Army to arrive quickly to support Luo Dagang invasion of Yong'an.

The Yong'an defenders had less than a thousand people. Faced with the siege of tens of thousands of Taiping troops, they were broken into the city without even defending for a day. On the eighth day of March, the Taiping Army captured Yong'an, the governor Wujiang, and the deputy general Al Jing'a committed suicide by throwing himself into the water.

On the fifteenth day of March, Hong Xiuquan issued an edict in Yong'an to grant Yang Xiuqing the Eastern King, Xiao Chaogui the Western King, first-class, Feng Yunshan the Southern King, Wei Changhui the Northern King, second-class, Shi Dakai the Yi King, third-class, and all the Western Kings and below were controlled by the Eastern King. All the soldiers who had made contributions were promoted to officials of varying degrees of size.

At the same time, the Tian Calendar was officially promulgated, the Qing Dynasty was abolished, and the "Taiping Etiquette System" was promulgated, which stipulated a complete set of strict hierarchies and cumbersome etiquette systems.

At this time, Cezanne also realized the seriousness of the problem and tried his best to coordinate the front-line generals to urge more than 20,000 Qing troops to chase Yong'an and surround Yong'an City. However, the encirclement was surrounded, but the generals still did not work hard. They fought passively and did not attack.

When the news reached Guangzhou, Yi Zhizu muttered softly, "Yong'an system." Bao Shichen didn't hear it clearly, looked at him, curled his lips, and said with disdain: "Yong'an is just a mere state city, and now it is surrounded by a large army of the imperial court. He can't wait to start enfeoffing the kings. If he really wants to conquer the world, how many kings will he have to be conferred?"

As he said that, he shook the information in his hand and said, "The peace ritual system is also promulgated, and the ranks of ranks and etiquette systems are stipulated. This is an impatient relish for the emperor."

Yi Zhizu smiled and was really said to have been praised by Bao Shichen. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was indeed abusive. It is said that they had seven or eight thousand kings. However, those were all in the late stage. In the early stage, there were not many kings in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. As for Hong Xiuquan couldn't wait to think about the emperor's addiction, it was not unfair.

It is just to capture a small state city, and it is surrounded by a large army, and there is a danger of being wiped out at any time. It is fine to be named a king, but it can also be said that in order to boost the morale of the army, what is the matter of promulgating the Taiping Legal System?
