Highway Heavenly Kingdom The mainstay of the late period of the Ying King Chen Yucheng There is an uncle named Chen Chengying . When he was young, Chen Chengying was a villain who did not pay back his debts. After being beaten by the creditor, he held a grudge. Three days later, he picked up a pig-killing knife and ran to the creditor's house. He first raped the woman who went out to fetch water from the creditor's house, and then rushed into the house and killed the creditor who was still sleeping in the bed. Chen Chengying, who committed the murder case, could no longer stay in his hometown. He gritted his teeth and brought Chen Yucheng to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
It is said that Chen Chengying is not an ordinary villain. He is smart and alert and versatile, so he quickly gained the appreciation of Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing , and mixed into the high-level leadership of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In 1854, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established its capital in Tianjing, Chen Chengying was named the prime minister of Tianguan. The following year, he was named the Marquis of Xingguo and the Marquis of Zuotian. As a senior central figure, he assisted Yang Xiuqing in handling the state affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
However, soon, Chen Chengying was beaten with a military stick by Yang Xiuqing. What's going on? One day, a groom sat in front of the mansion to rest, and happened to catch an uncle of Yang Xiuqing passing by. The groom did not salute the uncle in accordance with the etiquette stipulated by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. As a result, just such a small matter came to Yang Xiuqing. Yang Xiuqing was furious and wanted to dismember the poor groom's five horses and sentence him to death. This matter was a bit too much, so Chen Chengying stood up and spoke with everyone for justice, hoping that Yang Xiuqing would give him a favor. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiuqing became even more angry and beat Chen Chengying to a military stick. As a senior official of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Chen Chengying hated that, since then, he always wanted to take revenge on Yang Xiuqing.
1856, the domineering Yang Xiuqing forced Hong Xiuquan to give himself the title of "Long Live the One" in the name of his Heavenly Father descending to earth. This made Hong Xiuquan, the boss of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, embarrassed and embarrassed. Chen Chengying felt that the opportunity had come, and one night, he ran to the Heavenly King Palace and said to Hong Xiuquan: "Heavenly King, East King is going to attack you." Hong Xiuquan glared in his heart: Yes! Recently, Yang Xiuqing has become more and more arrogant and lawless.
In fact, Hong Xiuquan was suspicious of Yang Xiu early in the morning. Since he established his capital in Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing has firmly held the military and political power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as the Prime Minister, undermining Hong Xiuquan and becoming the actual ruler of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It was not that Hong Xiuquan had thought of taking Yang Xiuqing away, but when he thought that Yang Xiuqing was a good player in governing the country's affairs, he thought of his brotherhood, so he endured it, and he endured it again and again. But now he couldn't bear it anymore because the other party had already raised the butcher's knife. Hong Xiuquan immediately believed Chen Chengluo's "secret complaint" and decided to take action first.
However, Hong Xiuquan's strength could not beat Yang Xiuqing at all, so he wanted to transfer the commander of the troops back to deal with Yang Xiuqing. How to deliver the secret edict of the Heavenly King to Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai? How could they enter East Prince Mansion without realizing it without being discovered by Yang Xiuqing? Chen Chengying said, "Leave this to me." Chen Chengying is Yang Xiuqing's assistant, and he usually does things like issuing documents and conveying imperial edicts. It would naturally not arouse anyone's suspicion if he had passed the secret edict of the Heavenly King.
So, Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai soon received a secret edict from Hong Xiuquan. Wei Changhui, who was ill-intentioned, was secretly happy after receiving the secret edict and immediately led 3,000 elite soldiers to secretly rush back to Tianjing. He also hated Yang Xiuqing to the core. In early September, Wei Changhui led his troops outside Tianjing. In the name of General Yang Xiuqing, Chen Chengying asked the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate and let Wei Changhui's army enter the city. Then, under the guidance of Chen Chengying, Wei Changhui entered the Eastern Prince's Mansion with a lightning speed. In the early morning, Yang Xiuqing had just opened her sleepy eyes and Wei Changhui's knife was already on his neck. Everyone knows what's next. Wei Changhui, who showed his evil appearance, killed more than 20,000 people in one fell swoop, killing the city of Tianjing and causing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to be shaky. In the end, he actually wanted to kill Hong Xiuquan, but was eventually killed by Hong Xiuquan, who was better at it.
