"You and Dong Wang are both my sons, and Dong Wang has made great contributions. Why have I only called you nine years old so far? " This is recorded in the historical materials of the Qing Dynasty, and its authenticity remains to be doubted. It's probably a deliberate smear. Of course, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also has relevant historical records. Li Xiucheng said in "readme": "Because of Dong Wanggong's faithfulness and excessive power, the heavenly king will be forced to make him live forever. At that time, the authority was in the hands of the East King alone, and it had to be sealed. Forcing the heavenly king to go to the East Palace to seal him long live. " Li Xiucheng is the pillar of the late kingdom of heaven, and his remarks deserve attention. However, during the Tianjing Incident, Li Xiucheng was in a low position and people were not in Tianjing. How did he know? In addition, the readme manuscript was revised too much by Zeng Guofan, and the statement of "Long live the forced seal" may have been added by Zeng Guofan to discredit the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. ? ?
Secondly, since it is "long live the forced seal", why did the prince Qin Rigang know nothing in advance, and he and Wei Changhui didn't know about it until they arrived in Tianjing? When Feng Yunshan went to Guiping Bauhinia Mountain to preach, Hong Xiuquan, who had no hard-working spirit, returned to Hua County, Guangdong Province to continue teaching. When Feng Yunshan hit a piece of heaven and earth in Bauhinia Mountain, Hong Xiuquan quickly took over and became a leader. Qin Rigang is Hong Xiuquan's best friend. If Yang Xiuqing "forced long live the seal", it is impossible for Hong Tianwang not to tell Qin Rigang.
Finally, if Yang really "forced immortality", why did Hong Xiuquan rehabilitate him? But also the fifth son, Hong Tianyou, was accepted as the heir of the East King. However, in the history of China, any courtiers who commit rebellion are bound to be thrown into eighteen levels of hell, and their families will be slaughtered, or exiled and enslaved, and subjected to inhuman torture. Shortly after Yang's death, Hong Xiuquan made a 180 degree change to him and ordered him to be rehabilitated. In addition, there is the "East King Ascension Festival" and "Seven Dongsheng Festival celebrated in July, and the kingdom of heaven will never be forgotten"; His fifth son, Hong Tianyou, was also adopted by the East King and inherited Yang's blood. Just imagine, if Yang really "forced long live the seal" and tried to make trouble, would Hong Xiuquan give him such a good treatment? ?
