The banquet was held in a very harmonious atmosphere. Perhaps because he wanted to leave a good impression on Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan, Hong Xiuquan went out of his way to convey the message, eliminating a lot of red tape. Everyone seemed to be back in the beautiful situation of the Jintian regiment camp.
After the King of Heaven congratulated him for the first glass of wine, King Yang Xiuqing of the East stood up with the wine and smiled at Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan beside him: "Two brothers, the Kingdom of Heaven is emerging, and foreign enemies and internal worries make it difficult for everyone to cope. You come from Heavenly Father's side and are familiar with each other. Knowing the past of the Celestial Dynasty, and knowing the future of the Celestial Dynasty, I ask you two brothers to bear more of the burden of the Celestial Dynasty. Come, let¡¯s drink three glasses of wine first so that everyone can be in the same boat through thick and thin.¡±
Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nanren stood up quickly.
"Don't dare," Lin Haifeng said humbly. "Dongwang's command and decision-making of many major operations since the Jintian Regiment Camp have made me admire him greatly. Dongwang's talents are obvious to all. We are naturally the ones who work hard for the great cause of the Celestial Dynasty. I will ask Brother Dong Wang for more advice in the future on matters within my responsibilities." After that, he drank three cups by himself.
Yang Xiuqing laughed loudly, "Good brother, have a good time." He also drank three glasses in a row. No one doesn't like to hear flattery, but these polite words from Lin Haifeng made Yang Xiuqing even more fond of them. The communication between smart people and smart people is just a matter of one and a half sentences.
Next, King Bei and King Yi toasted, and officials such as Chen Chengrong, Hong Xuanjiao, and Qin Rigang also stepped forward to toast.
Lin and Zheng naturally did not dare to drink more, so they either drank a glass or took a symbolic sip.
Half drunk, Hong Xiuquan narrowed his eyes at Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan, and said with a smile: "The two brothers came in a hurry and did not allow me to arrange a new residence for you. In the afternoon, I asked Xuanjiao to find a temporary residence for you in the city. Yuanzi, the two brothers will settle down for a few days. Qingpao, starting from tomorrow we will make arrangements to build two new palaces, and you will be responsible for this."
"Okay, I will choose the location for the new palace myself." Yang Xiuqing agreed readily. To be honest, Yang Xiuqing felt that she was starting to like these two people.
"Thank you two brothers." Lin Haifeng quickly waved his hands, "However, in heaven, we all live in the same mansion with Heavenly Father. Therefore, as long as the Heavenly King can give us two rooms and a place to stay, it is enough As for the new palace, it is absolutely unnecessary. At present, we need a lot of financial and material resources to develop new ordnance to arm our soldiers. Countless poor people are still waiting for comfort, and we must not waste it on this aspect. Plenty of money, this is also the will of our Heavenly Father.¡±
Listening to his words, everyone was savoring it silently.
Most people gradually felt enlightened and their blood boiled, but a few people didn't take it seriously.
After a long while, Hong Xiuquan smiled and said: "Okay, then I will wrong the two brothers first."
"In that case," Yang Xiuqing pondered for a moment and looked at Hong Tianwang, "Tianwang, I have another place to go, which is not far from the Tianwang Mansion. It is very elegant. You might as well ask the two brothers to stay temporarily for the next few days. Where Xuanjiao arranged it, I will arrange for someone to decorate the garden I mentioned later, and the two brothers can move one there. After all, he is the prince of our dynasty, and he still needs to have dignity."
Hong Xiuquan nodded, smiled at Hong Xuanjiao and said: "The two new kings have brought you the good news that the emperor is with the Heavenly Father. You must repay them. Have you arranged the items and personnel in their residence? I can¡¯t wrong you two royal brothers.¡±
"Look at what the second brother said, how dare you, little sister." Hong Xuanjiao said sheepishly.
After a pause, she suddenly flashed her big eyes and looked at Lin Haifeng again and asked piously: "Myna, what does the kingdom of heaven look like? I think it must be that the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing freely, and the grains are Fengdeng, right?¡±
Lin Haifeng smiled and nodded. The heroine in front of me finally fell in love with Tianjing for her sacred ideal. I didn't expect that she would turn out to be a daughter full of tenderness and fantasy.
He looked at King Hong Tian, ??then glanced at the officials who were all looking at him. Finally, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and looked at Hong Xuanjiao, "How should I put it? There are some things that may not be understood by everyone now. . However, I can tell you that that world is a peaceful world, where no one bullies others, and everyone is doing their best for a common purpose."
"What is that common purpose?" Hong Xuanjiao closed her eyes slightly, tried her best to imagine, and murmured.
"It's very simple, that is, everything is for the happiness of others, not for yourself." Lin Haifeng said word by word.
"Everything is for the happiness of others, not for yourself." Hong Xuanjiao repeated what Lin Haifeng said.
"Thenis there an emperor there?"
Lin Haifeng followed the sweet voice and saw an elegant and handsome girl at the next table, staring at him with a pair of discerning eyes. He couldn't see clearly the official title on the girl's official hat.After speculation, he felt that this girl must be the first female champion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Fu Shanxiang.
He looked at Hong Xiuquan, then at Yang Xiuqing, and smiled, "The questions raised by the female champion are very sharp."
Yang Xiuqing chuckled and pointed at Fu Shanxiang, "What's so sharp? I think it's just nonsense. How can there be no emperor? Heavenly Father is the emperor."
Fu Shanxiang pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes still staring at Wang An unblinkingly, and there seemed to be a kind of expectation in his eyes.
Lin Haifeng thought for a while, then looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, "There is no emperor there."
No emperor? Except for Fu Shanxiang who felt satisfied, almost everyone else was surprised. Without an emperor, wouldn't a country be in chaos?
Zheng Nan stood up, "Every country has a head of state, but we don't call him the emperor. We also have officials at all levels similar to here, but the size of the official title does not mean that there is anything special about his status. , but he must assume greater and more obligations to the people, oh, that is, the people. They are all public servants of the people. In our case, the people are the real masters of the country, and everything in the country belongs to the people, not someone."
He raised the wine glass in his hand, "Haifeng and I would like to first thank the King of Heaven, brothers, and officials for their warm hospitality. Let us raise our glasses together and build a truly peaceful world for our common purpose. Cheers!"
Hong Xiuquan looked at the wine glass he had just drained in his hand, feeling awkward in his heart
